Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?-Chapter 1267 - 610: Thunder Coral!
Lian Dai personally asked Fang Mu only to finally put her mind at ease.
Now that the matter could be properly resolved, the impending trade took on a meaning of gratitude.
The Han Yang Empire, as one of the four great empires of the Sea Clan, did not want to owe too much favor to the human Saint Creators.
Lian Dai had the idea of repaying Qixing some favors during this transaction.
However, what Qixing had done for the Han Yang Empire could not be measured in resources and money, so even if the Han Yang Empire offered Fang Mu more perks in trade, the favor would always remain unpaid!
"It goes without saying, the delicacies of the Sea Clan are in no way inferior to those on land. I wonder if Sir Jianmu is visiting the Sea Clan for the first time?"
"Regardless of whether it’s the first visit or not, every sea area has its own unique products and delicacies."
"I’ve already had preparations made in advance, so we might as well eat while we talk!"
Deep down, Lian Dai didn’t fully trust the words of the Soul Whale Princess, as it was always the disciple of the Saint Creator Qixing who communicated with the Soul Whale Princess.
It wasn’t impossible for a junior to boast on the strength of their master’s favor.
The Han Yang Empire was the most affected by this tide.
The Hantao Sea Area, where the Han Yang Empire was located, bordered the Sea of Domains and was dotted with countless Extraterrestrial Embryos, the number of which was staggering.
The reason Lian Dai was sure about what Fang Mu had said was mainly because Lian Dai had examined the Spirit Capturing Box Fang Mu gave her.
The interior of these Spirit Capturing Boxes was comparable to Sequential Spiritual Instruments, and the full fifty Spirit Capturing Boxes represented Fang Mu’s awareness of the number of Extraterrestrial Embryos.
Even if Fang Mu was indeed making an empty boast, as long as the human side could assist the Han Yang Empire, Lian Dai would still show her hospitable side.
Fang Mu said with a smile,
"I really am visiting the Sea Clan for the first time. The kinds of supplies I want to trade for are not many, but the quantity I need is extremely large."
"This is a good opportunity to have a thorough exchange while eating!"
Jun Feng, Shu Liangjun, Old Bao, and the Grandmaster Creator Zhang Yue all felt immense pressure when facing Lian Dai, a suspected God Territory Powerhouse from the Han Yang Empire. Fang Mu, however, was remarkably composed.
This made them marvel at Fang Mu’s psychological quality and secretly wonder how Qixing had trained Fang Mu to be so exceptional!
The meal certainly wouldn’t take place in the main hall, so the group followed Lian Dai to the rear hall.
There, hundreds of dishes were laid out on a sleek azure-colored long table that continuously released mist to nourish the food on it.
Fang Mu had already recognized the material of the table; it was actually made of Azure Sea Gemstone!
In the Human World, Azure Sea Gemstones are generally made into pendants and rings and sold as expensive gemstones.
Beast Masters who contract a Water System Guardian Beast, if they can afford it, generally opt for a piece of jewelry inlaid with an Azure Sea Gemstone.
In the Human World, an Azure Sea Gemstone the size of a fist already qualifies as one of the key auction items at JA City’s auction!
This long table showed no sign of joints; it was clearly carved from a single Azure Sea Gemstone.
The table alone was enough to demonstrate the profound resources of the Han Yang Empire.
However, this table was just an ordinary embellishment in the rear hall. The other furnishings not only weren’t overshadowed by the table but many even outshone it.
The Soul Whale Princess was nowhere near as domineering in front of Lian Dai as she was in the outside world.
"Lady Lian Dai, this must be your first time bringing humans to dine in the rear hall, isn’t it?"
There has always been friction between the Sea Clan and humans, and over time, this friction has turned into enmity.
Humans, not content with exploiting the resources of the land, are now extracting resources from shallow seas on a large scale and continuously extending into the deep sea.
The human development of the sea areas not only leads to the extinction of some Sea Clan creatures but also constitutes the plundering of the Sea Clan’s resources.
Many Sea Clan members highly depend on their environment, and they are utterly unable to adapt once it changes.
If it weren’t for the existence of the Contract Garden among humans and the fact that the Sea Clan gained little from attacking human settlements on land, as the Sea Clan cannot inhabit land, a prolonged war between the Sea Clan and humans would probably have already begun.
Lian Dai knew well the Soul Whale Princess’s thoughts. The Soul Whale Princess herself was not friendly toward humans, especially since her daughter had once been captured by humans and had suffered a great deal.
In fact, the true advocate for maintaining good relations with humans within the Han Yang Empire was Lian Dai as the reigning monarch.
"Indeed, it has been nearly three hundred years since I first took humans to the rear hall for a meal. Actually, during The Sixth Era, there had been a high level of cooperation between humans and the Sea Clan, so much so that describing it as closely knit would not be an exaggeration."
A flash of light crossed Fang Mu’s eyes at these words, as he could sense that Lian Dai must know something.
Looking at the murals alone, one could tell that mermaids left a significant mark in The Sixth Era; otherwise, the mermaid totem would not appear in many murals.
The Sea Clan’s heritage is far more ancient than that of humans, and they surely know many secrets from the fifth and sixth epochs.
Fang Mu wondered if he should trade with the Han Yang Empire for those ancient texts.
The number of Ancient Battlefields in the sea might very well exceed those found on land, but humans were just unaware of it.
It is said that the Palace of the Sea Emperor, where the Sea Lord resides, is built on the site of the Azure Federation, which was once known as one of the three federations in The Fifth and Sixth Eras.
