I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 305 - 204: Sea of Lava, Divine Blood

After squeezing the last bit of value out of Leshar, Rogel sent him on his way without hesitation.

This vicious and brutal madman finally ended his sinful life.

After completing these tasks, Rogel headed back to the location of Gelin with a basketful of bounty.

The biggest rewards of this trip were the Healing Potion Recipe, the Calm Potion, and the Treasure Map.

The Healing Potion is an Apostle Level potion recipe, extremely precious. Who knows where that guy Leshar found it by sheer luck.

Secondly, there's the Calm Potion, with the Wheel of Knowledge, he is likely able to reverse-engineer the potion recipe.

As for the last item, the Treasure Map, Rogel took a look at it on his way back.

The directions on this Treasure Map are very abstract.

A circular land in the center, surrounded by sea, followed by a line of text below.

[The waterfall linking to the sky, the scarecrow amidst golden rice fields, abundance hidden within.]

It seems to be a clue to the destination.

However, since this Treasure Map is just a copy and does not have guiding functions, its precise location is hard to discern.

Rogel did not pay too much attention to it.

He still had many things to do and would soon search for the next Cave.

Before long, Rogel arrived at Gelin's docking spot.

The crew was conversing with a group of Mermaids on the shore at that moment.

Lina was using her Blood Spirit Healing Ability and medical skills to tend to some injured Mermaids.

Seeing her fellow clansmen truly returned intact, Little Taoqi was moved to tears, hugging one of the Mermaids and weeping softly.

A group of Mermaids, upon seeing Rogel, approached him under the lead of a blonde Mermaid and bowed deeply.

"My name is Tara, thank you for rescuing us, Captain Rogel."

"If it weren't for you, we might have died at the hands of that madman Leshar…"

Tara expressed her gratitude.

"You're welcome. I once received help from your clansmen."

Rogel nodded.

Then, he retrieved a Mermaid's skin from his Item Inventory, which was Naya's relic.

He handed it to Tara: "If possible, bury her in your homeland."

Tara took the incomplete skin, paused for a moment, and nodded earnestly: "I understand."

"Her name is Naya, she had a younger sister named Nia, do you know her whereabouts?"

Rogel inquired.

He was merely asking casually.

In his view, Mermaids are distributed in small groups, his inquiry was likely to be fruitless.

But a coincidental occurrence took place.

"Naya? I've heard this name!"

Behind Tara, a Mermaid Maiden spoke excitedly.

Under Rogel's inquisitive gaze, she quickly gave a response.

"My grandmother once told me, Naya was her childhood best friend, but she was abducted during a disaster and lost touch."

"Disaster?" Rogel frowned.

"Yes." The Mermaid Maiden nodded: "My grandmother used to live in the Pearl Sea, where many clansmen once resided."

"But according to my grandmother, the Pearl Sea was invaded and destroyed by a group of mysterious invaders, who also abducted many clansmen…"

"Mysterious invaders?" Rogel recalled, then quickly asked: "Were they a group of humans wearing black robes with starry patterns?"

The Mermaid Maiden seemed puzzled: "That…I am not sure."

Rogel secretly sighed: "Did your grandmother ever tell you where the Pearl Sea is?"

The Mermaid Maiden pondered for a moment: "Maybe there is something in my grandmother's relics, I could look for it when I return home."

Rogel nodded: "Alright, thank you for the trouble."

"No, no, it's no trouble…" The Mermaid Maiden responded, immediately shyly waving her hands.

Rogel looked towards Tara.

"Ms. Tara, I heard from Little Taoqi that you can perform some special modifications on ships?"

"I do have some skills in that area." Tara nodded, somewhat intrigued: "Captain Rogel, are you planning to modify your ship?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Yes, I intend to venture to the western Sea of Lava."

Rogel nodded, glancing at the nearby Gelin.

Tara frowned thoughtfully: "If a ship is to go to the Sea of Lava, there are indeed numerous ways…"

"However, since you plan to modify this ship based on its current structure, perhaps there is a relatively straightforward method…"

"What does it require?" Rogel asked curiously.

"The scorching temperatures of the Sea of Lava make it impossible for a standard ship to sail in it."

"But in the Sea of Lava, resides a creature known as the Lava Manta Ray, some of the young Lava Manta Rays carry special stones on their backs, called Thermally Stable Stones."

"Grind the Thermally Stable Stones into powder and mix them with the Thermally-Variable Mud from the bottom of the Sea of Lava, applying it onto the hull, allowing the ship to navigate in the magma."

"However, since you are entering it, you yourselves will need a sufficient quantity of Thermally Stable Stones, or the high temperatures inside will be unbearable."

Tara explained.

Upon hearing this, Rogel was thoughtful.

These materials shouldn't be too hard to obtain, perhaps worth a try.

Tara knew Rogel was an Extraordinary, likely capable of acquiring these things, but she couldn't help but remind him: "Captain Rogel, the creatures in the Sea of Lava are violent by nature and generally powerful."
