Baron Deep Sea gave a speech of encouragement before the battle. He shouted, “We are born of the sea, the children of the Sea God. This place does not belong to those despicable foreigners. The High Priest, spiritual leader of the Sea Clan of the Endless Sea, has received the Sea God’s oracle.
"The Sea God told us he has ended his long slumber since ancient times. He already knows the suffering of his children. He will make those wizards pay the price!
"Citizens! The Sea God has awakened!
"Pick up your weapons and fight to take back our homeland!
"Let our descendants live freely in this sea!
Free all of our people enslaved by evil, selfish, and greedy wizards!”
All the members of the Sea Clan raised their arms and shouted, their blood boiling.
They hid behind the giant beasts in the sea, and some even controlled the beasts to move towards their destinations.
The sea beast tide had begun.
On Blacksail Island, after leaving Leviathan in a distant sea region, Levi transformed into the Duke of Montenegro and went around to collect resources. The Blacksail Wizard Market was completely different from before because of the news of the arrival of the sea beast tide.
Many stalls had closed. Wizards who were affiliated with organizations retreated to their respective bases. Against the sea beast tide, it would be easier to survive with the help of their organizations. As for nomadic wizards, they also employed various methods to seek refuge. Some took shelter in deeper parts of the island, while others accepted the recruitment of first-circle wizard organizations or official wizards. They temporarily became members of these organizations. While enjoying the organization’s protection, they were also responsible for its safety.
Some speculators took advantage of the stock hoarding before the sea beast tide to sell some materials at high prices.
Levi bought a few items he needed from the stalls. He then went to the Celestial Circle Shop and other shops to stock up on 2,000 or so Aether Stones worth of materials, including various potions and casting materials. Unfortunately, there was not much time. In addition, these shops had just encountered a wave of panic buying, resulting in him being unable to collect all the materials for the Sandman Potion. In the upcoming sea beast tide, he would have to survive on the Sandman Potions he had previously refined.
As for spell books, Levi did not find anything he wanted, so he did not buy anything. Besides the breathing technique inheritance diagrams, Levi had stored almost everything else he needed.
He had an idea and set up a sign at the port.
The sign read, “Buying breathing technique inheritance diagrams at a high price.”
This was where most people passed by, either to board ships or head onto the island.
Not long after, a burly, low-level apprentice wizard approached Levi and asked suspiciously, “Are you really buying breathing technique inheritance diagrams?
"Of course,” replied Levi.
"I have a breathing technique inheritance diagram here. It’s a breathing technique passed down from my ancestors. If you offer me a reasonable price, I’ll sell it to you.” After the brawny man finished speaking, he carefully took out a piece of parchment. Levi glanced at it and found that it was actually an excellent-grade strength breathing technique called the Green Elephant Breathing Technique. Although he did not lack strength now, he would need it in the future.
"I’ll offer you two Aether Stones or 2000 gold coins, whichever you choose,” Levi said.
"I want the two Aether Stones,” answered the brawny man without hesitation.
Soon, Levi completed his first purchase of the day.
After that, Levi collected a few more breathing technique inheritance diagrams. They were all of shallow grade, but there was a defense breathing technique and a physique breathing technique, which put Levi at ease.
He had bought several breathing technique inheritance diagrams, and most of the people in the Blacksail Wizard Market had left. Only a few people still remained.
"I should head back,” said Levi as he prepared to leave and return to the tower to take refuge.
Suddenly, he discovered that there seemed to be a dispute in the distance. One of the parties involved in the conflict was members of the Gray Tower. Levi hesitated for a moment before deciding to go and take a look. If it were in his power, he would not watch members of the Gray Tower get bullied.
Levi changed his appearance so no one would recognize him. He pretended to be a spectator and stopped in front of the shop.
The shop was called White Tower Store.
This store was one of the Gray Tower’s businesses in the Blacksail Wizard Market. It usually sold potions and materials commonly used by apprentice wizards and occasionally sold items for official wizards. It was second only to the Celestial Circle Shop and Whale Song here in the market.
Two parties were now standing at the shop entrance, their hands on their magic wands.
One group consisted of apprentice wizards and market enforcers from the Gray
Tower.
The other group were the apprentice wizards and enforcers from Whale Song Island and other miscellaneous forces,
Levi also noticed that Senior Sister Winnie was also present. She looked at the person opposite her in anger.
"Hurry up and open the door. Why can’t we buy things? I am Quinn, and I am not leaving until I buy things here today!” said a high-level apprentice wizard from Whale Song Island. He was also the team leader of a small team of market enforcers.
"Like I said just now, during this special period, according to the Gray Tower’s protocol, the materials in the shop are not for sale for the time being. All of them will be brought back to the organization. I hope everyone can understand,” explained the owner of the White Tower Store, who was sweating profusely..
