The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 296 Compensation is just another form of exchange

The Arni Mermaid Tribe's clan is located near and below the route between Emerald Island and Azure Principality. There are not many islands and reefs along the route, but there are many places that deviate from the route. When the route was originally set, it was also the result of repeated surveys. .

Not all members of the mermaid tribe are mermaids. In addition to the distant mermaid race of the royal family, there are also creatures such as sirens. Their appearance has many similarities with mermaids. The upper body is a human body, and they are generally stronger than mermaids. The sirens in the book appear more as warriors, while the mermaids are mostly wizards.

This was the case with the small group of patrolling sirens that Colin first met. After the three battles with the leader of Sophia, he, two women and one beast followed Sophia to their tribe.

In the "room" composed of strange peaks, rocks and corals, Colin could finally talk slowly about "compensation" with Sophia.

Colin is not afraid that Sofia will harm them. Although his two wives are not members of the law enforcement team, he is an official staff member of the Griman Islands Security Affairs Division and the captain of the Vimy Islands Law Enforcement Team. This is Having reported it to the Wizarding World Alliance Council, Colin was not worried about what a small mermaid tribe would dare to do.

Now that there are no more safety concerns, the next step is to have a fight with Sophia.

"Clan Chief Sophia, we have already figured out the previous things, so we won't argue about who is right and who is wrong. Things have already happened. The only thing we can do now is to ensure that such incidents do not happen in the future. But you deserve the compensation. Fang should also take responsibility, not to mention that you lost the fight just now." Not long after he sat down, Colin got to the point.

"Wizard Colin, we will not avoid the things that we are responsible for, but we have to give a rough idea of ​​what the compensation you are talking about is specific, and we cannot ask for excessive prices. If we pay too much compensation, we will not be able to avoid it. If we can't afford it, we can only report it to the Ocean Wizards Alliance and wait for them to negotiate with the Grimman Islands. "Sofia is not stupid if she can sit in the position of clan leader.

On the way to the Arni Mermaid Tribe, Colin had been thinking about what he wanted. It was too expensive, so I guess Sofia would not agree, but it was too cheap, and it was not worth the trip.

"Well, I think the trick used by Patriarch Sophia to summon the water element just now is good. You can compensate me for the operating principle of that witchcraft, and then compensate me for some specialties from the depths of the ocean." In the end, Colin still felt this Witchcraft is more cost-effective.

"Huh? Wizard Colin, are you overthinking it? A whole boat of people died without even a formal professional, so the leader is just a quasi-level person. You have to change your witchcraft to summon the water element. Have you forgotten? Have you understood the principle of equivalent transactions?”

"Chief Sophia, please pay attention to your wording. That is not a ship of ordinary people. It is a ship representing the law enforcement team. The people on it are all members of the law enforcement team. I believe no one in the nearby waters dares to attack the law enforcement team. Is it possible that Patriarch Sophia dares to do whatever he wants because of his privilege as a member of the Ocean Royal Family?" While Colin argued for his subordinates, he also did not forget to squeeze Sophia.

"Summoning the water element itself is a first-level witchcraft, but basically very few first-level wizards can master this witchcraft. Most of them are because they cannot afford the rapid consumption of mental power caused by summoning the water element, so it is usually It will only be widely used after being promoted to the second level, and according to what I just learned, Wizard Colin, you should be a fire wizard," Sophia said after thinking for a while.

"I won't say anything else. As long as Patriarch Sophia agrees to give me this witchcraft, our previous affairs will be wiped out. I will be the one to explain it to the Grimman Islands. In addition, I will also strengthen the restraint on my subordinates and ensure that they will never What about the arrest of your tribe?" Colin didn't want to argue with her about fire or water issues, he just wanted this witchcraft.

"Then you need to get something else in exchange. Just using the previous thing as an example is not enough, right?" Summoning the water element is not a secret witchcraft, even if you don't get it from yourself , I believe Colin can also buy it from other places, it's just a matter of price. Sophia feels that it is better to sell him a favor and end the matter completely.

"How about the Fountain of Life, Chief Sophia, do you need it?" This is what Colin has the most in his hands. He got a lot from Charlotte in the Agri plane.

"The fountain of life may be relatively rare among you land wizards, but it is not a scarce resource for us ocean wizards. After all, you know, our life spans are generally longer than yours." Sophia said with a half-smile. .

"I\u0026, are you being looked down upon? You forgot about it." Colin was also a little embarrassed and felt a little at a loss for what to do. However, this was not a problem for Colin, and he soon had a new idea. .

"What about this one?" He brought out a quasi-level giant squid directly from the alien space. This was cultivated from his previous trophies. There were hundreds of them.

As soon as the giant squid came out, they looked at Colin, their "master", blankly. They had not seen the "sunlight" for a long time. They didn't know what the master was planning to do when he called them out this time, but they could stay in the ocean environment for a short time. It's good for a while.

Sophia quietly observed the giant squid. Well, its strength has reached a certain level. It is huge and can perform some special tasks.

Creatures like squid are also found in other sea areas, and their strength is indeed good. Although this is not a native creature, if it is cultivated well, it can also be used as an elite warrior within the clan. But take a quasi-level creature and exchange it for a super-level witchcraft. Can't make sense?

"Wizard Colin, I won't play tricks with you. This creature is indeed good, but if you take one and want to exchange it for the witchcraft of summoning the water element, it's a bit too natural. You can change it if you want, but you have to increase the amount!"

"Three." Colin added.

"Ten." Sofia's expectation was to get a team of 10 giant squids, which was too few. After all, the sea area here was not small.

"Five."

"Ten."

"Hey, let me tell you, there is no change in your counteroffer, Patriarch Sophia."

"My witchcraft is a super level one, and it will be more than enough to compensate the whole ship of people."

"Okay, seven, no more."

"Ten, not one less."

The giant squid's consciousness finally "awoke" from the familiar ocean environment. He listened to the negotiation between his owner and the "mermaid?" creature opposite. Was he trying to sell himself? If it is really sold into the sea, it would not be bad, at least it would be better than being in that dark space.

"Okay, you win. Patriarch Sophia really knows how to do business. I'm convinced. That's it, let's seal the deal." Colin already has hundreds of giant squids in his hands. He really doesn't care about these ten, but he can't do it all at once. I took out too much, but overall I was satisfied with this negotiation.
