Chapter 204041: Tidal Siren Tribe
Originally, Luo Xi thought that the castle would be completely submerged in the sea like the outside, but after entering the castle, he found that this was not the case at all.
There is a thin film outside the castle that separates it from the sea. The entire castle is contained in a large bubble, and the world inside the bubble is completely dry.
"Hmm~"
Nicole fell to the ground, her whole body shook and she almost fell to the ground.
Luo Xi hurriedly pulled her back: "Are you okay?"
Nicole stuck out her tongue. "I'm a little uncomfortable with being on the ground all of a sudden. I thought I was still in the water."
Luo Xi observed the bubbles around the castle: "I didn't expect there was a barrier here."
The bubble surrounding the castle is actually a barrier, and its principle is the same as that of the bubble outside the wizard ship.
"Green, are you here?"
At this moment, a strange sound was heard, like the hoarse sound of an old bellows.
The sound came from the castle hall, and a tidal siren walked over there. It looked similar to the tidal siren that had led Luo Xi and the others all the way, but it was much larger, almost three meters tall.
In addition, unlike the almost naked Tide Siren, it wears a fur coat, a necklace made of shells and pearls around its neck, and bracelets inlaid with gems on its wrists. It looks quite dignified.
Surrounding it are a group of tidal sirens holding tridents, who probably look like their personal guards.
Green greeted him enthusiastically and gave the big Tide Siren a big hug: "Did you come out specially to greet me? Carls, I am truly honored."
After a pause, Green waved to Luo Xi and asked him to come over. He introduced him, "Karls, this is Luo Xi, the genius of the Elemental Castle that I mentioned to you. He has an extraordinary talent in potions."
"Luo Xi, this is Karls, the owner of this gem sea, the chief of the Blue Sea Tribe, and also our partner."
Luo Xi performed a wizard's etiquette: "Nice to meet you."
The chieftain seemed very easy-going and nodded to Luo Xi in a friendly manner: "Welcome, welcome to Karls's castle. I will have to trouble you, Wizard Luo Xi, from now on."
Green said, "Carls, please talk to Luo Xi about the potion."
Carls nodded and then gave a detailed introduction: "It's like this, what we need now is the Land Walking Potion."
Then Carls explained the general situation of the matter to Luo Xi.
Sea creatures must live on the seabed and cannot live on land. Although the tidal siren can barely be considered an amphibious creature, it cannot leave the sea for too long.
Just like Karls is in this waterless castle now, all the followers except him need to soak in the sea water for a while every two hours at most, otherwise they will die from weakness or even dehydration.
However, due to some special reasons, the Blue Sea Tribe often needs to go to inland areas to trade with local wizards to purchase some materials, so they need land-based potions.
This kind of potion can make the creatures in the sea have some physiological characteristics of land creatures, and can allow the creatures in the sea to stay on land for a long time. Take the Tide Siren as an example. A land-walking potion can allow them to live on land for one to three days, making it convenient for them to trade on land.
Carls said: "But this potion is different from the ordinary land-based potion. It needs to add some of our special needs. Can you do it?"
Luo Xi raised an eyebrow: "Special needs?"
Carls nodded and said, "We hope to be able to change our form, so that we can have the ability to walk on land and transform into a human form."
Luo Xi looked strange: "Human?"
What kind of request is this? Could it be that these tidal sirens have some kind of human worship? Perhaps seeing Luo Xi's puzzled expression, Karls explained in detail: "It's like this, the materials we want to trade are very important to our tribe, and the wizards who trade with us also understand this, so every time they make a deal, they deliberately raise the price."
"Sometimes they even sell it to us at several times or even dozens of times the price. One Silent Fruit sells for a hundred magic stones." He said angrily.
Uh. This is indeed a bit too much. A low-level material like the Silent Fruit, which costs only a few magic stones, is actually sold for so much. Even Luo Xi feels that this is a bit too much.
Green laughed and said, "Haha, everyone says we are profiteers. Look, profiteers are everywhere."
Carls said: "Those wizards are sure that we can't go too far and can only trade here on the coast. Moreover, these are necessities for us. Every time we go ashore, we have to consume precious land travel potions and we don't have time to bargain with them."
That's true. It's not easy for a tidal siren to come ashore, and the wizards are well aware of this, so they just offer a random price.
Luo Xi said: "I understand, you want to disguise yourself as a wizard to make a deal, right?"
Carls nodded. "We don't expect to get any advantage, but this will at least give us a reasonable and fair price. Fairness is the most important thing, don't you think?"
Luo Xi pondered for a moment: "It's not easy to make a land-based potion and also incorporate Transfiguration."
A single walking potion isn't too difficult, and a single transfiguration potion isn't too complicated, but combining the two isn't easy.
Carls frowned, but Green gave him a reassuring look: "Don't worry, Luo Xi will definitely be able to do it."
Luo Xi rolled his eyes and gave him a contemptuous look: If you can do it, go ahead.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "I can't guarantee that I can do it, but I can try."
After a pause, he looked around and asked, "Is there a suitable place here? I'll experiment first."
Karls said quickly: "Of course, please follow me."
Under the guidance of Carls, Luo Xi walked through two corridors and soon walked into a room on the left at the end of the corridor.
This is a very spacious room, about 100 square meters. In the middle is a long laboratory table, and next to it are several metal shelves. There are crucibles, crystal lamps, test tubes, beakers and other utensils. There are plenty of various instruments, just like a standard wizard laboratory.
Luo Xi raised his eyebrows and said with a little surprise: "This laboratory is quite well-equipped."
Karls nodded and explained, "This is what my master left behind."
