Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 210 One Fish, Three Ways

"Quelt, you only know about fighting, but you haven't heard of his achievements."

"The Pharaoh angered him and was retaliated against twice!"

"The newly promoted S-class Awakener was killed. If it weren't for the large number of innocent people on the General-class drifting ship, sinking it rashly would have been disastrous and would have attracted the attention of Black Gold. It might already be at the bottom of the water by now. Even so, Ptolemy is like a dog that has lost its homeland in Africa, being talked about by everyone and losing all his authority."

"Behind you lies old Rome, and Constantinople,"

"It is foolish to oppose an S-class Awakened who has no ties to his name."

On the Tudor Rose, the three captains of the admiral-class drifting ships are having a rare reunion.

Having inherited the title of "Duke" of the British Empire, Elizabeth looked at this muscular ally and colleague. As a woman with a delicate heart, she knew how to use the art of language.

"Humph."

Even if Quilt was unwilling, he knew what was important.

Elizabeth saw that the gladiator appeared resistant but had already accepted his defeat, so she turned to Wright and asked him a question.

“Wright, tell me, what did the Secretary General want with him?”

"Who could possibly know? It's probably something that's inconvenient for us to get involved in."

"Did your Ocean-Calming Pearl fall into his hands?"

"...My Ocean-Calming Pearl was stolen by Ashina of the Uzu Kingdom."

A hint of disgust appeared in Wright's deep eyes.

……

……

……

Small wooden boat.

Shi Ming looked at Secretary Abraham, who was over 50 years old and had a full head of white hair, but was in very good health.

The Twelve Stars require the flesh and blood of a Saint-level sea beast. Shi Ming guessed that this was related to their ongoing research, since only the Lighthouse had previously revealed that they had obtained the so-called Saint-level remains. Based on the information Shi Ming obtained from Miss Yan, the remains seemed to be "Saint-level 004: The Undying Evil Eye".

Other King-class drifting ships, however, seem to have never ventured into this area.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

The stone contains remnants of the Abyss Lord, but it would reveal too much and is not suitable for trading.

Shi Ming had originally planned to go to Mount Fujin to secretly take advantage of the Great Black Dragon's slumber and steal some resources to evolve his "Arm of Power" or "Brain of Creation." He didn't need much to upgrade his skills. The "Eye of the Mortal World," evolved using the flesh and blood of the Abyss Lord, was incredibly useful, making him even more eager for upgraded versions of his other two skills.

But Abraham revealed that the lighthouse was actually going on an expedition?

Are they going to blockade Mount Fuji?
Could it be that they have made some preliminary progress in their research using the remains of that sanctuary?
It seems we need to move things forward.

"Mr. Secretary General."

"Killing the S-class Awakened Ones at the Lighthouse was all for emergency avoidance and self-protection. Everyone knows that it's better to avoid trouble. Just because I can fight an S-class Awakened One doesn't mean I can fight against a King-class drifting ship force and cut a piece of flesh from a super sea monster under their blockade."

"This is very difficult."

Shi Ming said it would be very difficult, but he didn't say it was impossible, which made his meaning quite clear.

Need to add money.

Abraham understood perfectly.

"What kind of support does Brother Shi want?"

Shi Ming spoke directly.

"The twelve-star honorary knight position, the Tear of the Earth Sea, the Essence of Purification, and the research results of that sea beast are all being pursued simultaneously."

Abraham was taken aback.

The awakened one, who had been standing to the side like a wooden figure, also paused for a moment.

You little rascal, you really dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount!

You were asked to make one request, but you made four?
Honorary Knight?

Since its establishment, the Twelve Stars have only had twelve seats, and recruiting you into it is a blatant slap in the face to the Lighthouse. Although they won't say anything on the surface, malicious targeting is their "traditional virtue," and their sneak attacks are hard to defend against.

Tears of the Earthsea?

Europa's specialty, capable of temporarily altering one's appearance, is not a problem. Although precious, it is available on the Royal Ship.

The essence of purification?
I've never even heard of it.

Research findings?

This commission is barely even started, and you're already thinking about it?

"Cough cough."

"Brother Shi is very knowledgeable. I've never even heard of this Purification Essence before. If I have any news about it in the future, I will definitely let you know as soon as possible. As for the rest..."

"There is indeed one of the Tear of the Earth Sea on the twelve stars. I can give it to you in my personal capacity as a token of my sincerity. No matter what the outcome of this mission is, it does not need to be returned."

"Knight of Honor... this title has no real power, it merely represents honor and grants certain privileges on the Twelve Stars, such as renting equipment and accessing intelligence. If we retrieve the remains of that sea monster, I am willing to recommend it to the King-class drifting ship as the First Secretary-General." "But even if we succeed, it cannot be made public for the time being... I think you can understand this, young man."

"As for the research findings..."

Abraham hesitated for a moment.

"Yes, but we must ensure that it is not leaked."

All promises, except for the Tears of the Earthsea, will only be fulfilled if the remains are brought back. Whether they can be retrieved, and what research results can be obtained after they are retrieved, remains to be seen.

This time, Twelve Stars won't lose anything.

They are all investments.

Although Shi Ming's demands were not all fulfilled after the negotiation, he was still quite satisfied with the result.

The flesh and blood of the Great Black Dragon can evolve the skills brought by the [Eye of God]. Even without a commission, he would still have to make a quick buck before the Lighthouse was sealed off. But now, he can have three benefits from one fish: not only can he get sponsorship, but he can also use the remaining remains to make a deal, maximizing the value of the fish.

First reward: Obtaining pre-event sponsorship from twelve stars;

Second food: Evolution skills;
The third way to profit: Use the remaining flesh and blood to complete the mission in exchange for benefits.

This is a good result.

……

The much-discussed expedition of the Twelve Stars was not without its gains. In this sea area, they obtained a huge, fresh S-class sea beast skeleton. Although it had completely decomposed after death, and much of its flesh had been washed away by the powerful undercurrents, it still possessed significant research value. It immediately made headlines in major newspapers.

However, no tabloids or underwater intelligence stations mentioned the magnificent sound at sea at dawn.

It was as if it were just an illusion upon waking from a dream.

Quilte of Constantinople earned a high number of contribution points.

Elizabeth and Wright both made contributions that were promised beforehand.

The twelve stars returned to their original sea area, settling back into familiar places, becoming the beacon and supply station for all the drifting ships in the European seas, guarding a corner of the vast ocean.

With 2000 Pure Crystals and a small test tube of "Tears of the Earth and Sea," Shi Ming boarded the Sun Shooting Ship and began his return voyage.

Next, he needed to get to Mount Pukyong before the lighthouse was deployed and the blockade was lifted.

……

……

……

The white dragon whale was dragged on the "Salmon's Dream" for almost a day.

The enormous heart has been removed and perfectly preserved, and the blood has been effectively collected, enough to awaken 3-4 people. This hunt was an enormous success, and Chris had never had such a bountiful harvest in his entire life.

Despite receiving a promise from Shi Ming, Chris still didn't touch it.

They didn't even handle 100 grams of flesh and blood without authorization.

Only after Shi Ming returned and confirmed it with him in person could he feel at ease.

……

As the sun set, Salmon Dream and Great Fortune finally saw a distant figure appear on the horizon.

Shi Ming returned to his loyal Dayun ship once again.

Chris finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was brought up again.

He felt his heart pounding.

He had never felt so uneasy in his entire life.

Shi Ming had already made a promise regarding the ownership of the White Dragon Whale's Heart.

He was not as despicable as the people of the Woguo Kingdom. Chris kept his promise, and the whaling methods he shared saved Shi Ming a lot of trouble when hunting the "Twilight Whale".

One blow went directly into the brain through the eye, and another severely injured the spine.

If he were to figure it out on his own, he might have to fight for a long time in the "Ragnarok" realm before he could inflict effective damage, and there might be another unexpected turn of events.

not to mention,
Obtaining the whale fall was a much more time-consuming and difficult process for him than killing two S-class sea monsters.

As agreed, three-quarters of the White Dragon Whale's blood will go to Shi Ming, which is enough to add three more A-level Awakeners to the Dayun.

This line,

Shi Ming obtained "Ragnarok" and "Third Law", the blood of the White Dragon Whale, 2000 Pure Crystals, the Tears of the Earth Sea, and some of the blood and rotten flesh of the Twilight Whale;

Chris obtains the heart of the White Dragon Whale;

The twelve stars acquire a powerful "mercenary".

Triple win!

No one lost anything.

Aside from that "Decapitation Sword"?
