"Master?" Seeing that Salin had finally walked out of the room, Neris, who was guarding the door, called out. She saw the glove on Salin's left hand. She was a little angry. She did not know what Master had done for Silva, but he had used up a large amount of life force.
Salin felt Neris's displeasure, and patted her head, "Neris, where are we now?"
"We have not entered the Frozen Ocean yet. Bing is very careful, and has been drawing a map." As Neris said that, she suddenly saw a fully armed Silva walking out of the room, and involuntarily took a step back.
Silva made her feel a sense of danger, a power that could destroy her life! What was going on?
"Where's Banchagana?"
"He went out to hunt for the red krill twice, and had a good harvest. But if we go any closer, it will be the territory of the powerful beasts, and Banchagana will not dare to offend them."
"That's good, I was afraid he would cause trouble. Let's go, Neris, I'm hungry too. "
"En, I'll go get Zola." After Neris felt the danger from Silva, she did not want to provoke this Caucasian woman. Because Silva's character was more direct, no matter what methods she used, if she was discovered, the only result would be Silva waving her stick and beating her to a pulp.
If Salin was by her side, he would naturally stop Silva. But if Salin was not around, Silva would not care who you were. So Neris smiled at Silva, showing her kindness. For the first time, she realized that there were humans that demons could not handle.
Actually, with Silva's temper, she might not be easily deceived. Anyone who wanted to deceive her had to first consider the consequences, and that was Silva's battle prowess, and her way of thinking. Silva was not alone now, she had a few thousand Caucasian warriors following her, and if she was angered, she would be hunted down by the Caucasians.
And the Caucasians had a very pure attitude towards the priests. If you dare to hurt my priests, I will use my life to exchange for yours. Once a Caucasian decided on something, you could no longer use benefits to move them, and that was the most troublesome thing.
That meant, in Neris's eyes, Silva had a few thousand fanatical boorish warriors behind her, and she could not shake their beliefs.
Forget it, no matter how strong you are, you were still slept with by Master. Neris thought evilly in her heart, and her heart finally felt a lot more balanced.
Sicar grinned at Neris and said softly, "This armor can sense the malice of others. As for you, although you are Salin's … servant, you better not have any bad thoughts about me. I know you, but my Korean doesn't."
"I know, Sister Shika. This is my nature. Please forgive me." It was rare for Nelis to admit defeat. Shika was surprised.
The few of them came to the first floor. It was still morning, and the Magicians had only just woken up. They were helping the Winged Skeleton control the ship, while the Winged Skeleton patiently left more map coordinates on the magic compass.
The Icebound Sea was indeed very dangerous. There were many powerful magical beasts of the eighth rank just on the outskirts. If it weren't for the special attributes of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship that made these magical beasts ignore the ship, these level-eight magical beasts would have sunk the ship there.
However, the distribution of these magical beasts was very regular, and it was usually related to the distribution of prey. When the Winged Skeletons drew the map, they would mark the locations of the more dangerous nests. Moreover, the sea here was only two thousand meters deep. Some magical beasts could dive to the bottom of the sea and cause damage to the alchemy ship. Therefore, Banchagana didn't attack. He only killed some red krill in two open hunting grounds.
Salin had to decide what kind of magical beast to kill. If he couldn't kill it, he would have to find a way to escape.
Therefore, although Helene had a route, because the magical beasts here were too fierce, she could only carefully avoid these powerful magical beasts and leave after getting some benefits. Otherwise, with the richness of the Icebound Sea, Helene would have become rich long ago. Why would she worry about losing a big ship?
Jorah was ordered to go to the kitchen by Neris. He listened to Neris and didn't covet the ship anymore. It was Salin's anyway. It was useless for him to covet it.
Salin contacted the Winged Skeleton and asked about the harvest these days.
The Winged Skeleton knew a lot more than Neris. Salin was satisfied after hearing it. It turned out that although Banchagana had only gone out a few times these days, he had gained a lot.
The number of red krill was about the same as the last time, but the quality was much higher. The closer they were to the Icebound Sea, the better the quality of the red krill. These red krill might not be useful for Magic Shooters, but for Great Mages, the level-four magic cores of the red krill could be used for cultivation. For Salin's army, these krill shells could also be used to refine equipment. It was definitely the best choice.
Although those powerful magical beasts could provide better materials, even Banchagana wasn't sure he could win. If the Three Lords were here, it would be fine. Now, there was only Banchagana, and with the alchemy ship dragging them down, they could only endure facing magical beasts above level-eight.
Apart from the red krill, Banchagana also caught many magical beasts between level-four and level-six. These magical beasts weren't powerful, but their magic cores were real. Moreover, most of the magical beasts in the sea had shells, which were the best to refine magic armor.
The biggest problem with magic armor was the cost. Apart from the cost of making it, there was also the cost of repairing it.
Even if a magical wolf reached level-six, there wouldn't be many bones in its body that could be used to refine armor. To make a complete set of magic armor, at least four magical wolves had to be hunted. After refining the armor, if it was damaged, it had to be repaired with the materials from the magical wolves.
This created a problem. The magical wolves were fine, but some magical beasts were too few in number. Once the armor was damaged, it would be difficult to get the corresponding materials to repair it.
The advantage of the magical beasts in the sea was that they had a huge population. Red krill, a level-four magical beast, actually had at least hundreds of thousands of them. In the real breeding ground, it was said that the population of this kind of red krill was always over a hundred million.
Although these giant krill were level-four, they could only survive by relying on their large numbers. The Icebound Sea was full of magical beasts that could prey on them. Without such a large population, the red krill would have been extinct long ago.
Because of the large number, Salin could use these materials to refine a large number of magic armor, and he wouldn't run out of materials to repair it. Therefore, even though the quality of these armors was slightly poor, they were extremely important to Salin. This was the reason why he wasn't in a hurry to hunt powerful magical beasts.
The mages on Seriger Island weren't poor, but it wasn't realistic to ask them to provide a large number of materials. After all, Salin and Rex wanted to build a large army, and most of the materials on Seriger Island were intermediate and high-level. Even if they were used to forge armor for the elite soldiers, it would be a huge waste.
To put it bluntly, take Salin as an example. The materials he had now were definitely not suitable for forging equipment for the soldiers. Only by forging equipment for the four magical beast swordsmen that he had subdued would the materials not be wasted.
Think about it, what would it feel like to embed gems that were worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins on the armor of a beginner swordsman?
The magic cores of the red krill were sold at different prices. Those with good quality could be sold for six to seven hundred gold coins, while those with poor quality could only be sold for about a hundred gold coins. These magic cores were suitable for low-level swordsmen to embed on the armor. When it came to the level of swordsmen, it would be worth using the more expensive magic cores to equip the armor.
"Bing, how long do you think it will take to finish mapping the periphery of the Icebound Sea?"
"Master, probably 30 to 50 years."
"What? That's long! "
"It's not long. The Icebound Sea is tens of thousands of miles wide. We have to be careful on the periphery to avoid trouble. We can't increase our speed to more than 20 miles."
Salin thought for a while and said, "I was careless. Then let's not think about drawing a complete map for now. Let's use the route we obtained as the center and search for a month on both sides. Then, we will go back."
"Go back? Master, you're not entering the Icebound Sea? "
"It's too dangerous." Salin bent his withered left hand. He thought to himself, Now that my battle power has been declining, it is impossible to deal with high level magical beasts by relying on Banchagana alone. Shika's battle power is not bad, but I can't let her take the risk. Things are different now. To me, Shika is not a soldier to protect my safety.
Salin did not know that his decision saved everyone's lives. Yi Lian also did not enter the Icebound Sea during this season. During this season, a powerful magical beast would awaken in the Icebound Sea. This magical beast was far more terrifying than the Unihorn White Whale. Even if all three Sovereign Kings were to come, they would only be at a disadvantage.
The Winged Skeleton did not say anything. Whatever Salin told it to do, it would do. It did not approve of Salin taking the risk. It was good enough to pick up some loot in the periphery. As long as the alchemy ship slowly snuck under the sea, the magical beasts would not come to provoke them. When they found an empty area, they could let Banchagana do it. This was much safer than rushing into the Icebound Sea.
The reason Salin changed his mind was simple. He had used up 13 dimensional stones, leaving 27. It was enough to carry prey, but there was no need to go to the islands in the Icebound Sea. Yi Lian said that there were open veins on those islands, so they could only wait until next spring.
By then, they could send some low-level Mages over. A warship could carry hundreds of low-level puppets. Mining was a piece of cake. One should not be too greedy. As long as they guarded this route, the things would be theirs sooner or later.
While Salin was talking to the Winged Skeleton, Banchagana suddenly came in from outside the ship. He looked disheveled. There was a deep crack on his white skull.
"What's the matter?" Salin knitted his brows tightly. He already knew Banchagana's characteristics. This guy would often do things that even he couldn't control.
