Chapter 336 Slave Mark
Yang Yi and Su Na prepared to return to the deck.
On the way, Tricia, the light fairy, became much more honest. She glanced at Yang Yi from time to time and didn't say a word the whole time.
Because Yang Yi rejected his father's suggestion to give this light fairy a slave mark.
.............
minutes ago.
In a tent somewhere inside the treasure ship, Yang Yi, Su Na, and Dad were talking.
Not far away, there was a dwarf who was busy drawing a magic circle on the forehead of the unconscious Cyclops, which was the slave mark.
“The treasure ship is okay.
But if you leave the treasure ship and the goods escape, then don't even think about asking me to compensate you. "
Dad spoke up and suggested giving Tricia a slave mark too so she wouldn't run away.
"No need."
Yang Yi shook his head, pushed Tricia back with a frightened face, and declined his father's kindness.
Purchasing live goods at the Gold Chamber of Commerce can provide free slave marks, but the specific wishes depend on the buyer's intentions, because slave marks will affect the "quality" of the goods to a certain extent, making them look stupid and like dolls.
For light fairies, it will cause their recovery ability to drop significantly, but it doesn't matter to the defective Tricia, she doesn't have this ability in the first place.
As for what the slave mark is and how it works, Yang Yi has roughly figured it out.
This is a kind of biological magic, a control spell based on a special species.
Suna asked to see the process of making slave marks, so Dad took them both to see it.
The steps are as follows:
First, the target must be subdued, and then a large amount of anesthetic must be injected into their bodies to completely lose their ability to resist.
Next, a pink slug with tentacles is placed on the target's face. The target must not resist during this period, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed.
Eventually, the slug burrows into the mouth, nose or ear canal, invades the brain, and grows into the target brain. The entire process takes about two hours.
After completion, the caster will carve a slave mark on the target's forehead, which will have the effect of slave control, but the actual control is the slug.
Suna became very interested in the slugs and the manipulation of magic. She bought ten slugs, plus the magic circle on the Cyclops's forehead, which was enough for research.
The price is 10,000 conch coins, which is 8,000 after a 20% discount. This slug is quite cheap.
Then all other living bodies, except for the Cyclops and the Stone Man, escaped.
Because Suna wanted a more complete brain, she also bought an extra Cyclops head, just in case.
As for the stone men, these things are magical structures powered by magic stones. They have no brain at all and can hardly even be regarded as living beings, at least these stone men cannot.
Yang Yi received a private message from Su Na, which was information about slugs. They are usually stored in dark brown glass bottles and can be fed and reproduced with flesh and blood.
[Name: Brain Worm]
[Introduction: A gel-like parasite that can invade the target's mouth, nose and other places, and then parasitize after reaching the brain, eventually growing into the host's brain.
It will change its size according to the size of the host, discarding part of its body.
After parasitization, it will control the host to go to the brain worm nest and become a breeding ground for brain worms.
Special magic control can be used to stop the development of brain worms, control the brain worms, and then control the host, but this will cause the host to have low intelligence, rigid thinking, and stagnant growth.
High mental attributes are resistant to brain worms, and struggling to resist will make it difficult for the brain worms to parasitize, or even fail to parasitize.
Brainworms cannot parasitize creatures without brains, nor can they parasitize creatures with aggressive brains. Their combat effectiveness is negligible.
A scholar once proposed the hypothesis that the Brain-Eating Demon was a mutant produced by a brain worm parasitic on the brain, but soon after, the scholar rejected the hypothesis, believing that the Brain-Eating Demon was too low-level to be compared with the Brain-Eating Demon. 】

Ten minutes later.
Yang Yi, Suna and the others were about to leave the cabin.
During this period, Yang Yi has been paying attention to his exposure, which has increased to 46%, which is an improvement compared to before.
But the rate of increase is much slower, which shows that acting alone and reducing communication with indigenous people is an effective countermeasure, which can effectively slow down the growth of exposure when common sense is insufficient in the early stage.
He recorded this experience, including some pictures, and planned to post it on the forum after the transaction is unlocked at 23:00 in the evening.
"...Interactions with the indigenous people sometimes lead to increased exposure, and this happened on the Gold Chamber of Commerce's treasure ship.
But I am not the first player to come into contact with the Gold Chamber of Commerce, and no other players have mentioned this.
Therefore, I should be a special case. It is estimated that a certain action was too prominent and was noticed by a certain existence, which led to the increasing exposure.
It is probably caused by the large-scale purchase of basic supplies. This behavior is too suspicious..."
Yang Yi stopped recording because the magic props shop arrived.
There is no change here from before. There are a large number of crystal counters with magic props inside and prices next to them.
Customers can open the counter to check by themselves, but they are strictly prohibited from wearing or using it. They can only touch and look at it. Violators must purchase it at the price, and the damage caused must also be compensated according to the price.
Yang Yi checked and found that the quality of the magic props on this floor were below treasures, and their prices ranged from a few thousand to millions of conch coins.
The most expensive thing inside is a set of thick gold-patterned plate armor, which should be produced by the Glorious Holy Cult. The radial spherical pattern on the chest is extremely conspicuous and emits a shimmer. The price tag is 1.5 million conch coins, and the name is the Fearless Knight Armor (Full Body).
This armor is displayed in a two-meter-high glass display case, which is very conspicuous. Yang Yi is also curious about its properties.
This equipment should not be available in the Sea of Miracles. Similar to the Light Fairy, the Container of Light, and the Dark Core, they are all prohibited items.
But in the Sea of No Light, there is no such concern at all, which is an advantage of this area.
He opened the display case and looked at it carefully, and then tried to touch it, and a barely perceptible strange color flashed across his face.
Because this armor is actually a fake.
It seems that the Gold Chamber of Commerce will also sell fakes openly!
He remained calm, closed the crystal cabinet, and sent a message to Suna.
"Be careful, there are still fakes in here. No wonder it is not allowed to be used. Won't it be exposed if it is used?"
[Name: Fearless Knight Armor (Fake)]
[Type: Treasure]
[Quality: Fine]
[Introduction: A replica made by a skilled craftsman, decorated with fluorescent paint, it is difficult to see the flaws.
In order to pursue texture and improve deception, a lighter low-density alloy is used, and the actual defense ability is worrying.
You don't feel much pressure when wearing it, and you will have the illusion that your physical fitness has improved, but there is actually no attribute bonus.
The Fearless Knight Armor is one of the standard armors of the Holy Knight, focusing on defense, and the other set is the Judgment Knight Armor. 】
