Chapter 616: Chapter 617 Specialty_1

"Not just the things from the sea?"

The group was somewhat puzzled by Feng Yuan’s words, failing to grasp the meaning. Everyone knew that both the Maritime People and the Aquatic People lived on the sea, and it seemed impossible for there to be a so-called special product not from above the sea.

"Have you forgotten about the Omeilia Region? I can’t believe that the goods from there wouldn’t sell well in the Divine Land Region."

Feng Yuan glanced unkindly at the confused Guo Huai and said, Guo Huai suddenly remembered upon this reminder. The Omeilia Region and the Divine Land Region had significant differences in their products, and each other’s specialties would surely sell well in the respective regions, but...

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan with furrowed brows and said,

"But... wouldn’t others come to snatch this business?"

Feng Yuan glanced at the three bewildered Aquatic People, smiled, and said,

"How would they snatch it? Do you think those ordinary ships can cross the Black Sea now? Apart from the Aquatic People, I don’t believe anyone else could easily cross the Black Sea between the Divine Land and the Omeilia Region."

"With no supply of materials along the way and not many islands, even if those people knew about Omeilia’s specialties, what could they do?"

"Moreover, the Aquatic People live on the sea and don’t worry about those on land getting envious and causing trouble at all."

"That is true..."

Liu Wenli and Hua Yiyou nodded in agreement with Feng Yuan’s words. A monopoly in business was good, but without sufficient strength, one would definitely face danger. And the Aquatic People... even Liu Wenli didn’t think those land countries had the capability to attack them; setting aside whether Delong Tower would help, there were no beasts on land capable of traversing the sea.

Rely on ships? Legendary and Legendary Level Spirit Beasts were huge, and unless they flew in the sky, there wasn’t a ship big enough to hold them. Without Legendary and Legendary Level Spirit Beasts? They had already seen the group of Sea Kings and Sea Serpents of the Maritime People. Although there were conflicts among them, if those land-dwellers were to bully the Aquatic People hiding in the sea, the Maritime People would lose all their dignity.

Besides, the conflicts weren’t too intense, so there was a strong possibility of assistance from the other party if there were an issue.

"Even so, what if they adopt that blockade policy again?"

Liu Wenli, somewhat curious, asked Feng Yuan, who had already thought of a solution and shrugged as he said,

"It’s useless, the special products from the two regions aren’t just simple food or decorations, items like Star Leaf are used for the growth and evolution of Spirit Beasts. In the face of enhancing the strength of Spirit Beasts, those so-called blockades are a joke."

"Of course, if that were the case, the danger would be significant."

Feng Yuan warned as he said this. After all, this was no joke; for those countries, these were strategic goods, and they wouldn’t want to put their hopes in outsiders.

"If that’s the case, then the blockade truly is a joke."

Liu Wenli nodded, realizing the possibility she hadn’t considered before. If it were as Feng Yuan had said, then no country would dare to enforce a blockade. Even a united front would be futile, as there were those who wanted to overthrow them, the coastline was so vast, and the Aquatic People could conduct trade anywhere along it.

"Goods of significant importance, huh... Although this approach is more akin to that of merchants, if that is so..."

Xia Yu, the elder, closed his eyes to ponder the information brought by Feng Yuan, while Cheng Yong, somewhat worried, said,

"What if they all turn against us..."

"You can choose not to do it, or you can choose to pull in the Maritime People."

"Bring them in?!"

Xiao An said with some dissatisfaction while Cheng Yong looked at Xia Yu, the elder, with a complex expression. Having heard about the past from the elder, he naturally would not view the Maritime People with the same hostility as before. After all, everyone was working for the good of all. Whether it was Li Tianhai or Li Xiaping, even though they made mistakes in the end, no one could deny their efforts to protect the people of the sea.

"What else then? I suppose the Maritime People were something like a military force before your split, right? In terms of military power, they must be much stronger than you are."

Scratching his head, Cheng Yong, though unwilling to admit it, couldn’t refute that they probably couldn’t have escaped so many times from their attacks if the other party had not held back.

"I can’t decide this alone... I need to contact everyone for a discussion."

Elder Xia Yu opened his eyes, sighed, and stood up. Feng Yuan took out a roll of parchment and a pocket watch-like object and placed them on the table, saying,

"This is a simplified sea chart between Omeilia and the Divine Land Region, and this is a compass. I’m not sure if you can recognize the direction at sea, so I gave you both."

"Thank you."

After a glance at the sea chart, Elder Xia Yu thanked Feng Yuan. He guessed the reason Feng Yuan had brought out those items—if they planned to take the opportunity to resolve the conflict and reunite the Aquatic People with the Maritime People, it couldn’t be done hastily. The reason why only they could trade the specialties of both lands became clear upon seeing the sea chart.

The sea region known as the Black Sea was simply too vast. Even though it seemed close, he knew that even if they pushed the Island Jellyfish to travel at full speed, it would take at least a month to reach the other side, and that was due to the jellyfish’s rapid movement through the waters. Ordinary ships would probably take two to three months to arrive, and that would be under exceptionally good luck.

Living at sea all year round, how could they not understand that the ever-present storms posed the greatest danger? That’s why those ships dared not stray from the nearshore areas—the ones that did set out far from shore had long sunk. Perhaps a few might have been lucky enough to return, but they were the minority. And as for the red-marked forbidden zones on the map beyond the Black Sea, he also knew what they were.

Even the Island Jellyfish didn’t dare to venture lightly into those zones. The areas not only had frequent and powerful storms but were so perilous that even the jellyfish couldn’t guarantee their own safety.

Carefully storing the parchment, the old man was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He opened a drawer, took out a bag, and handed it to Cheng Yong, saying,

"Take this with you. If they want to buy something later, you can pay for them. If it’s not enough, cover it for now, and you can ask me for reimbursement when I return."

"Sorry to leave you, but this matter is very important to us. We are very grateful for your intelligence."

The old man hastily took his leave after speaking to everyone. Liu Wenli, somewhat puzzled, said,

"Is he so sure that everything this guy said is true?"

Cheng Yong looked at the curious crowd and smiled,

"Actually, a group from the Aquatic People once reached what you refer to as the Omeilia Region. I remember the old man saying that there was a time when land-dwellers did not trade with us, so they began looking elsewhere, trying to find a place to trade."

"At that time, they disappeared for over a year. When they returned, they brought back a peculiar message—that they had reached a place completely different from these land-dwellers. Most of the items they brought were very popular with those people. However, the trade embargo was lifted and due to the memory of the direction being unclear, together with the distant journey, they eventually gave up."

"I see, it’s unexpected that you accidentally visited there before."

Liu Wenli spoke with some curiosity. She was interested in another continent, but considering the travel took over a year, she decided against it. Feng Yuan glanced at Delong Tower and said,

"If you want to go there, it wouldn’t be too troublesome, at least not for guiding the way once."

"Are you talking about Delong Tower?"

Guo Huai looked at the Delong Tower floating nearby. He hadn’t forgotten the modern high-speed waterway that allowed ships to travel quickly between two continents, a creation of Delong Tower. Considering this, it wouldn’t be strange for Delong Tower to get them to Omeilia within two or three days.

"If you’re interested, I can have Delong Tower take you there to have a look."

"Aren’t you going?"

Liu Wenli looked at Feng Yuan, her brow slightly furrowed, then, looking at Mo Li, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"We’ve been out for too long already, so we won’t be going."

Mo Li glanced at Mo Ling, who seemed somewhat disappointed and hesitated in his heart.
