The Lord of Ashes

However, compared to ancient times, in today's wizarding world, the treatment of the Sea Clan has improved a lot.

All the major holy towers and knight halls have expressly banned the hunting of sea people.

And in the Wizarding Alliance, theoretically, the sea people and humans in the wizarding world have equal status.

Because they are all part of the wizarding world and have contributed to the prosperity of wizarding civilization.

As for the holy towers on the southern coast of the Wizarding Continent, many of them would invite the neighboring sea tribes to participate in launching extradimensional wars.

The strength of the Sea Clan is actually not weak, but it is far inferior to the knights and magicians in the wizarding world.

But if taken alone, the power of the Sea Clan is enough to compare with any large world civilization.

In the vast sea area, no one knows how many sea races and powerful underwater creatures are nurtured.

Moreover, due to the huge base of the Sea Clan, the number of Sea Clan creatures who are actually persecuted by some knights and magicians is only a minority.

The reason why there are so many sea race hybrids on the southern coast of the Wizarding Continent is because it is difficult for these demi-human hybrids to be completely integrated into the sea race.

And because their appearance is closer to humans, it is easier for these hybrids to deal with humans in the wizarding world.

To a certain extent, these demi-human hybrids with both sea and human blood also play a role in mediating the conflicts between humans and sea people in the wizarding world.

However, due to the poaching of the Sea Tribe, which has begun since ancient times, many demi-human hybrids have continued to reproduce to this day.

Therefore, this kind of problem is a problem left over from history, and it is a troublesome matter that the senior leaders of the wizarding world are constantly cutting and messing up.

So not many people pursued it too closely.

But now, it is no longer advisable to hunt the sea people in an open and honest manner.

Unless you want to be labeled as a black magician or black knight by the major holy towers and knight halls on the south coast.

However, the Sea Clan's business has not completely disappeared in this area.

The high-level leaders of the wizarding world and major holy towers and knight halls have indeed given orders to stop poaching the Sea Clan, but what if the Sea Clan is voluntary?

Many Hai tribes still remain in primitive slavery society.

These low-intelligence sea tribes will often sell the remaining people in the tribe in exchange for other resources or living supplies.

In addition, there are indeed some sea people who may truly fall in love with human knights and magicians.

In Fernan Star City and many human cities on the south coast, you can often see bards holding recorders telling some touching or extremely beautiful love stories in taverns.

Some of these love stories really exist in the original version, but most of them are modified versions with added materials.

After all, humans and sea people belong to completely different races, with different aesthetics, appearance, and organs. How could they fall in love so easily?

The Blue Mermaids are considered to be a race among the hundreds of millions of people in the sea race, and their appearance is relatively similar to that of humans in the wizarding world.

But don’t be fooled by these cyborgs in front of you. Real mermaids don’t look like this.

Their faces are longer and hairless, their heads are covered with thick light blue scales, and their pupils are also dark blue.

I really don’t know how serious some of the humans in the wizarding world in ancient times were, so they would attack these blue mermaids, and thus breed a large number of demi-mermaids.

The one that truly resembles humans, and is also known as the most beautiful species in the sea, is undoubtedly the mermaid.

Mermaids are also the most sought-after sea slaves in the black market on the south coast of the wizarding world.

Even the prices of half-mermaids with mermaid blood on the major black markets are exaggerated.

A half-mermaid slave can be sold for a sky-high price of twenty or even thirty magic coins on the black market.

You must know that the half-mermaids referred to here are ordinary half-mermaids with life levels below level one.

If it is a high-quality product with a life level of one level or above, the transaction price can soar to hundreds of magic coins, which is almost the same as the total income of knights and magicians above one level from participating in a plane war.

It can be seen that the profits are huge.

However, the mermaid family is not so easy to hunt. Most of them live in the deepest part of the sea, and they are also the natural royal family in the ocean of the wizarding world, and can command the surrounding sea creatures.

The mermaid clan is born with a strong affinity for the water element. They are the daughters of the sea, and the best among them can easily cultivate to level one or above.

It's just that the number of mermaids has never been very large, and it is far from being comparable to the fertility of humans in the wizarding world.

According to records, mermaids have a special ability, that is, after mating with mermaids, if both parties truly love each other, the other party's physique can gain a part of the water element affinity.

This ability is also called the "blessing of the sea."

But if it is the result of coercion and arouses the hatred of the mermaid, then the perpetrator will be naturally hostile to the marine life in the surrounding sea after entering the waters of the wizarding world.

This ability is also known as the "curse of the sea." However, this racial talent is nothing to the magicians in the wizarding world who are keen to explore the mysteries of truth.

As early as ancient times, or even earlier, the magicians in the wizarding world have cracked the mystery.

It's just the essence of the blessing and curse of the mysterious system. Perhaps a senior magic apprentice who specializes in the mysterious system can remove the curse.

Therefore, this curse ability has not stopped some profit-seeking people from engaging in poaching fish activities.

Driven by profit, some people even dare to hunt and kill giant dragons. The mermaids of the sea tribe who are weaker than giant dragons are nothing.

On the contrary, this kind of curse and blessing adds a layer of mystery to the mermaids in the wizarding world.

The only thing that can be done is to make their worth skyrocket again.

Thain knows a lot about the Sea Tribe in the wizarding world, not because of such detailed introductions in the library of the Holy Tower of Origin, but through reading the magic notes left by his previous mentor Moshe Duo.

Moses and other black magicians apparently arrived in the Dark Area through the south coast.

The border between humans and sea people and the geographical nature make the southern coast of the Wizarding World prosperous on the surface, but it is actually a bit more chaotic on the inside, far less orderly than inland areas such as the Holy Tower of Blue Origin.

At least in the Blue Origin Holy Tower, Thane had never heard of any illegal black market.

But the magic notes left by mentor Moshedo recorded the existence of many black markets in the south coast area.

These black markets should have been visited by Moshe Duo back then. I wonder if there are still some traces of black magicians.

There is no black market in this Fernan star city, but there seems to be a small black market not far to the south of the city.

Thain was a little curious about the attitude of the Holy Tower and Knights Hall in the nearby area towards these black markets.

Not all knights and magicians existing in the black market are black magicians or black knights.

In fact, the proportion of black magicians and black knights may be less than 2%.

Most of them are knights and magicians with normal identities on the surface.

They go to the black market not to do evil, but just to trade.

It has to be said that there are more things sold on the black market and they are cheaper.

And there are many things there that are not available in the ordinary market, such as mermaid slaves.
