Chapter 1069 - 628: A New Attempt to Gather Faith
Danerluo Port,
Zhao Zhao discovered that the fishman caught by sailors, who was about to be sold as a slave, turned out to be a member of the Fishman Royal Family.
It seemed likely that he was a Fishman Prince, and Zhao Zhao instantly realized that this might be related to the recent disturbances among the near-shore Fishman Clan of Treasure Pearl Sea.
Hidden storyline!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhao couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.
However, he quickly calmed down and swiftly decided to report this intelligence to the Floating City.
The hidden storyline might be good, but he also needed to have some ability to complete it!
This appearing Fishman Royal Family member directly had the strength of the Gold Rank, indicating that this hidden storyline required at least similar strength to intervene.
The players’ current strength was merely Bronze; attempting to intervene in such a storyline would be akin to unknowingly courting death.
This was a lesson learned from the painful experiences of many players before.
Zhao Zhao was the same; although they could be resurrected as players, losing equipment and experience points was not a trivial matter.
For him and the Embers of the Fire Guild, who were aiming to compete in the professional league, they couldn’t afford any mistakes when they were so close to the goal.
Moreover, as a guard of Kane Floating City, reporting this matter would bring him some benefits too.
Immediately, Zhao Zhao followed behind the sailors who were carrying the fishman and simultaneously reported this intelligence.
...
In the Magic Workshop of Kane Floating City,
The Black Dragon Mirapoleias habitually came to the Magic Workshop...
Habitually lay honestly on the operating table specially prepared for him...
Habitually covered his head with his dragon wings, unwilling to face the bloody reality...
But this time, Mirapoleias waited for a long time without feeling any sensation of blood loss.
Mirapoleias curiously poked his head out to take a peek and saw Lis sitting at the table, gently tapping the surface with his right hand, seemingly deep in thought.
Seeing this, Mirapoleias wanted to sneak away, but after thinking for a while, he sincerely decided to stay.
Slumping his head, Mirapoleias hesitated for a moment and then proactively used his dragon claws to scratch through his dragon scales, letting his dragon blood, imbued with the Power of Destruction, flow into a nearby container.
Estimating that it should be enough for one use, the Black Dragon then controlled his muscles to heal the wound, placed the dragon blood beside Lis, and quietly tiptoed out of the Magic Workshop.
Lis was aware of Mirapoleias’s actions all along, but he paid no mind to them.
After all, for the current Black Dragon Mirapoleias, his life now was both delightful and painful.
Although the regular blood draws were somewhat uncomfortable, staying in the Floating City was truly enjoyable.
It was safe, comfortable to live in, and occasionally he could obtain a significant amount of gold coins and jewels from Lis’s fingers.
Mirapoleias loved it here!
Knowing the Black Dragon’s little thoughts, Lis still trusted this mutated Black Dragon as long as he occasionally dangled something to pique his appetite.
For now, Lis’s mind was occupied with the newly received intelligence.
Zhao Zhao, as a guard of Kane Floating City, had reported a new piece of intelligence to the Floating City Magic Intelligent Life, the Black Cat.
The Black Cat found this intelligence to be very valuable and directly forwarded it to Lis.
When Lis saw this intelligence, he was quite surprised.
In fact, the vast majority of affairs in Kane Floating City were handled by the Black Cat, and Lis had never paid attention to them.
For instance, the commission tasks received by guards like Zhao Zhao were all collected and processed by the Black Cat, which then categorized and assigned them.
Of course, important matters still required Lis’s personal attention, but given the Black Cat’s capabilities, Lis trusted it wouldn’t have any problems.
Still, surprises always happen, as they did now.
Lis looked at the intelligence in hand, and with his Legendary spiritual power, quickly located the fishman Berion Pearl in Danerluo Port below.
With Lis’s current strength, it was easy to gauge this fishman’s background.
To his surprise, he indeed had heard of this captured fishman before.
In truth, in Lis’s past-life game storyline, the appearances of the Fishman Clan in the main storyline were quite rare.
The main races featured in the Gaia World were primarily the Human Clan, Elf Clan, Dwarf Clan, and Beast Race.
In comparison, the Fishman Clan, due to their living environment, were more reclusive and seldom interacted with the outside world.
Although the Suo Luo Fishman was considered one of the most powerful races in the Ocean, their overall strength wasn’t particularly formidable.
On one hand, although the ocean was extremely vast, the areas inhabited by the Fishman Clan were mostly in relatively prosperous near-shore regions, yet the living conditions were harsh.
As a race, the Suo Luo Fishman’s overall power was formidable, but far superior were countless other races and wisdom-devoid Transcendent monsters in the ocean, whose full secrets no one had ever explored and understood.
In many major events, Suo Luo Fishmen were mostly side characters, and players mainly knew about them through various side quests.
Berion Pearl was the name known to players in past-life interactions with Suo Luo Fishmen, as the name of the ruler of the Treasure Pearl Sea Suo Luo Fishman Tribe.
The race structure of the Suo Luo Fishmen somewhat resembled that of the western part of the Fanor Continent, primarily existing in a communal or city-state form beneath the ocean surface.
And Berion Pearl was the ruler among several Suo Luo Fishman tribes of the Treasure Pearl Sea, or considered the King of Treasure Pearl Sea Fishmen.
