Chapter 633: Back and Forth
For an average person, these two items might not hold much value. The Water Pearl Shell requires a long time to produce pearls, and the longer it takes, the better the effect. However, the human lifespan is limited, and by the time this treasure matures, the person might have already passed away.
The Azure Dragon Conch is similar; to make it truly useful, one would need to wait a few hundred years. To find one like the Azure Dragon Conch of the mermaid clan, you would likely have to wait a thousand years. Currently, even a ninth-level expert cannot live that long, so for ordinary people, these two items are indeed of little use.
But Zhao Hai is different. With the existence of space, these two items hold great significance for him. The space can accelerate the growth period of animals. Once the Azure Dragon Conch enters the space, Zhao Hai can continuously let it grow, and soon he will have many top-grade Azure Dragon Conches at his disposal.
As for the Water Pearl Shell, while one or two may not show any significant effect, if this item can be mass-produced, it would be entirely different. This item greatly amplifies water magic, and if water mages obtain it, their attack power would increase by more than three times. If mass production is possible, and it can be prepared for the water mages on the continent, their combat power would surely rise significantly.
Of course, this item is also very precious among the sea tribe, and mass production is not feasible. However, for Zhao Hai, it's different; in the space, he can raise as many as he wants, and it's not like raising them in the sea. The ones raised in the ocean might not produce pearls, but those raised in the space will definitely yield pearls.
Luo Ying could tell from Zhao Hai's expression that he was very satisfied with these two gifts. She couldn't help but admire Lolo a glance; this information had been provided by Lolo, and it turned out to be quite useful.
Zhao Hai took the two items and turned to Luo Ying with a smile, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, General. I just have this hobby of collecting all sorts of strange magical beasts and plants."
Luo Ying smiled and replied, "You're too polite, sir. I've already issued a command for the clan to help collect items for you as much as possible. I believe they will be delivered in the next few days."
Zhao Hai smiled back and said, "Then I sincerely thank you, General. Today, I also wish to go to the sea dragon clan to hold them back, and I want to see how the people from the church of light react to the dragon clan. What do you think?"
Luo Ying thought for a moment and said, "That sounds good. I will trouble you then. In the next few days, our other reinforcements will also be arriving. Once they gather, we can launch a full-scale attack."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "In that case, let me hold back the sea dragon clan for these days. Once your army is assembled, we will attack together, and you can use these days to rest properly."
Luo Ying nodded, stood up, and bowed to Zhao Hai, saying, "I will remember your great kindness to our mermaid clan, sir. In the future, if you have any orders, we will definitely obey."
Zhao Hai stood up and laughed heartily, saying, "You are too courteous, General. The enemy we are facing this time is one that we both share. Your words are making Zhao Hai blush. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Luo Ying nodded and said, "Please, sir." Zhao Hai bowed to Luo Ying and turned to leave. As he exited, Luo Ying turned to Lolo and said, "Lolo, you have done a great service this time. It seems that the sir truly loves collecting these items. We might as well gather more to give to him; after all, our Endless Sea is vast, and there are plenty of good items inside."
Lolo smiled and said, "General, you are too polite. But General, I don't quite understand. Collecting these items will take a lot of effort. Are we doing this just because the sir helped us?"
Luo Ying smiled lightly and said, "Silly girl, you don't understand. We do this not just because the sir helped us, but also because of the future. Can't you see the current situation? The church of light, the dragon clan, and the sea dragon clan have already united. It seems that the divine race's invasion won't be far off. Mr. Zhao Hai has good relations with the dwarf clan and the orc tribe; he will surely become a central force against the divine race. Such a person is worth our support."
