"Master?" Saleen finally exited Sika's room and Nailisi who was guarding at the door called him . She saw Saleen wearing a glove on his left hand . She was angry, she did not know what master did for Sika that spent so much power of life .
Saleen felt Nailisi's dejection . He patted her head and said, "Nailisi, where are we now?"
"We haven't entered the Oceanic Ice Block yet . Soldier is very careful, constantly drawing the map . " Nailisi then saw Sika walking out from her room with her full suit on, she instinctively stepped back .
Sika made her feel a kind of danger, a power that could ruin her life . What was going on?
"Where's Banchajanna?
"He went out to hunt for red phosphorous prawn twice, the result was good . We are getting closer to the strong magic beasts' hunting territory, Banchajanna dared not offend . "
"That's good, I was worried that he would get himself into trouble . Let's go, Nailisi, I'm hungry . "
"Mm, I'll go get Jola . " Nailisi felt the danger of Sika and she did not want to provoke the Caucasus woman . As Sika's character was more straightforward, no matter what trick that she played on Sika it would get exposed . That would only lead to one outcome; Sika waving her cudgel to smash her into meatloaf .
It was okay if Saleen was next to her, as he would naturally stop Sika . If Saleen was not there, Sika would not care who she was . Nailisi smiled at Sika to show good will . That was the first time she realized that there were humans that demon could not deal with .
Sika's temperament did not necessarily mean that she would be easily cheated . Everyone who wanted to play a trick on her had to consider the outcome, which was Sika's fighting ability and her thinking method . Sika did not only have a cudgel anymore, she had a few thousand Caucasus warriors following her . If anyone pissed her off, they should be ready to be killed by the Caucasus people .
The way Caucasus people treated their high priests was simple . If you were to harm their priest, they would trade their life for yours . Once a Caucasus believed in something, one would never be able to change their mind with other interest . That would be the most troublesome matter .
In Nailisi's eyes, there were a few thousand passionate warriors behind Sika and there was no way to shake their belief .
"Forget it . No matter how strong you are, you slept with master anyway . Nailisi was thinking in her heart and that made her feel better . "
Sika grinned at Nailisi and said softly, "This armor can feel bad intention of others . Although you are Saleen's maidservant, don't have any bad thoughts about me . I know you but my cudgel doesn't . "
"I know, Sis Sika, I am born that way . Please excuse me . " Nailisi almost never admitted defeat and Sika was surprised .
The few of them came to the first floor . It was morning and the mages just got up . They were helping the winged skeleton to control the ship while it patiently added more map coordinates on the magic compass .
The Oceanic Ice Block was really dangerous, there were many grade-8 magic beasts on its outer border . If it was not for the special attributes of the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat that made the magic beasts ignore them, those grade-8 magic beasts would make the ship sank then and there .
The magic beasts were distributed regularly according to the distribution of their prey . When the winged skeleton was drawing the map, it noted down the area with more dangerous nests . The ocean was only two thousand meters deep and some magic beasts could submerge to the bottom of the sea and damage the ship . Banchajanna did not attack, but only hunted some red phosphorous prawn at two spacious hunting grounds .
He needed Saleen to make decisions on what magic beasts to hunt and it if failed, they had to think of way to escape .
Even though Irene had the sailing route back then, the powerful magic beasts around were too fierce so she had to avoid them carefully at all times . She would leave after she got some benefit . If not for the Oceanic Ice Block being richly endowed, Irene would have been rich overnight, why would she be bothered by loss of a ship .
Jola was ordered by Nailisi to go to the kitchen . He followed Nailisi's instructions without questioning and he did not cast eyes over other's property anymore . She belonged to Saleen . There was no use thinking about her .
Saleen and the winged skeleton connected to enquire about the harvest of the past few days .
The winged skeleton knew more than Nailisi . Saleen heard and he was satisfied that Banchajanna had quite a good harvest although he only went out a few times .
The number of red phosphorous prawn was similar with the last hunt, but the quality heighten quite a bit . The closer they get to Oceanic Ice Block, the better the quality of the prawn . To a sorcerer, the prawn did not have much use . To a mage, the grade-4 magic nucleus in the prawn could be used for practice . For Saleen's army, the shell could be made into equipment . It was definitely the best choice .
Those stronger magic beasts might be able to provide better materials, but even Banchajanna had no confidence that he would win against them . If the Three Kings were there, it would be possible, but there was only Banchajanna alone and he had the ship as a drag . Facing magic beasts above grade-8, he had to hold back .
Besides the red phosphorous prawn, Banchajanna caught some magic beasts between grade-4 and grade-6 . These underwater magic beasts' fighting power was decen,t but their magic nuclei were real . Most of the underwater magic beasts also had shells and it would be best to use them to make magic armor .
The biggest problem about magic armor was its capital . Besides the cost of making it, there was the cost of repairing it .
Even if a magic wolf reached grade-6, the bones that were able to be made into armor were not much . To complete a set of magic armor, one needed to at least hunt for four magic wolves . After completing the armor, if the armor were to be damaged, it would required material from a magic wolf to repair it .
There then was one problem; it might be easier if it was a magic wolf, but some magic beasts were too little . Once the armor was damaged, it would be difficult to retrieve material to repair the armor .
The advantage of the underwater magic beast was that the amount of them in a school was huge . For grade-4 magic beast like red phosphorous prawn, there were at least tens of thousands of them in every school . The amount in their actual breeding place, was said to be over billions .
Although the prawn were in grade-4, they could only stay alive with their humongous number . The Oceanic Ice Block was filled with magic beasts that could eat them . If there were not a huge number of them, the prawn would have been extinct long ago .
Due to the humongous number, Saleen could use the material to make a big batch of magic armors and would not lack of material he needed to repair them . These armors might be lower quality, but it was really important to Saleen . That was why he was not rushing to hunt for powerful magic beasts .
The mages in Sregl Islands were not poor, but it was impractical for them to provide huge number of materials . The army that Saleen and Lex wanted to form was not small, most of the material on Sregl Island were middle or high level . It would be a huge waste to make armor even for Elite Soldiers .
To be blunt, using Saleen as an example, the material left on him was definitely not suitable to make equipment for the soldiers . The materials would not be wasted if it was to make equipment for the four magic beasts swordsmen that were under his control .
Come to think about it, how did it feel if a gemstone worth ten of thousands were to be inlaid on the armor of the junior swordsman?
The selling price for the magic nucleus of a red phosphorus prawn would be inconsistent . The better quality ones could be sold for six to seven hundred gold coins . The worse ones might only be sold for a hundred gold coins . These magic nuclei were suitable to be mounted on a junior swordsman's armor . When the warriors got promoted to swordsmaster level, they deserved magic nuclei that were more expensive in their equipment .
"Soldier, how long do you need to complete the map of the border of the Oceanic Ice Block?"
"Master, maybe another thirty to fifty years . "
"What? So long?!"
"That's not long . The Oceanic Ice Block is tens of thousands of miles . We had to be careful at the border, avoiding the trouble and the speed can't be faster than twenty miles . "
Saleen thought and said, "It's my bad . Then, I wouldn't consider completing the map as of now . Using the sea route we have as central, search the left and right for one month and we should head back . "
"Head back? Master, are we not entering Oceanic Ice Block?"
"That's too dangerous . " Saleen curled up his dried left hand and thought, "My fighting power is decreasing linearly . Relying on Banchajanna alone, it wouldn't be sufficient to go against the high level magic beasts there . Sika's fighting power is not bad, but I can't let her take the risk . It is different from before now . To me, Sika is not longer just a warrior that ensures my safety . "
Saleen did not know that his decision had saved everyone's life . Irene had never entered Oceanic Ice Block in that season before . In that season, there was a powerful magic beast in the Oceanic Ice Block awaking . The magic beast was far more terrifying than the single-horned white whale . Even if Three Kings were all there, they would only face failure .
The winged skeleton did not say much as Saleen told it what to do and it would listen to his orders . It did not agree with Saleen to take the risk from the beginning, it believed that it was good enough to be able to steal some bargains on the border . The ship was slowly moving at the bottom of the sea, with no magic beasts asking for trouble . Sending Banchajanna for a hunt when they found a spacious hunting ground would be more stable than rushing into Oceanic Ice Block .
The reason why Saleen changed his mind was simple; he used thirteen pieces of dimension stones and there were twenty seven left . It was sufficient to carry all the prey, but it was not necessary to go into islands in Oceanic Ice Block anymore . Irene said that there were open-air mineral veins on those islands, but that had to wait until spring the following year .
By then, he could send some low level mages with a warship carrying a few hundred low level war puppets, as mining was a small matter . "You can't be too greedy . Being able to defend the sea route so that the others can't find it is important . It is just a matter of time until all the things be mine . "
Saleen was communicating with the winged skeleton when Banchajanna suddenly came in from outside the ship looking devastated . There was a deep crack on his white skull, it was obviously a new wound .
"What is going on?" Saleen cringed, he knew Banchajanna's character . The bastard was always doing things that were beyond his control .
"I…" Banchajanna did not know he would be in an unfavorable situation . Although his ability decreased as he turned into a skeleton, he did not expect a dead item with no soul would be able to cause such damage to him .
