I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Figo smiled, and with a "whoosh," a pair of pure white, broad wings sprouted from behind him, startling Lynch so much that he almost fell to the ground.

"This...is amazing! Amazing! Amazing!"

His eyes widened, and he exclaimed repeatedly, "So you really are an angel, sir! You can hide those wings!"

"Yes, level six for lighting is sufficient."

"...You're here again." Lin Qi carefully examined the wings that had retracted and disappeared without a trace, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Impressive!" He looked at the wick in Figo's hand with envy.

At this moment, the wick in Figo's hand also changed. Its flapping wings gradually stopped and folded to its sides. A layer of transparent, hazy white cocoon gradually formed a sphere and wrapped the wick inside. The emotions emanating from the wick also disappeared.

“When the wick of the lamp leaves the sea of ​​lights for ten minutes to an hour and confirms that the person it came into contact with is transmitting the same vibration, it will fall into a dormant state. At this time, those of us with different attributes can touch it,” Lin Qi said.

His expression darkened: "This is an act of trust from the wicks, but often, after they fall into a deep sleep, they are traded as commodities. They don't know that the one who ultimately uses them is one of their own kind."

The boy was still quite innocent, and feeling sorry for these little lives, Figo chuckled, "Don't let its cute appearance fool you; its owner was probably old, ugly, and liked to pick their toes when they were alive..."

Lin Qi blinked in bewilderment.

Suddenly I don't feel sorry for her anymore!

He looked at Figo, unsure of what to say, and asked, "Uncle, what are you planning to do with it? If you don't intend to use it yourself, I can help you sell it. You've just arrived in Lampfire, so you probably don't have any of our Lampfire coins, right?"

“Sure, sell it. With your savings, that should be enough to buy a Giant Bloodline Lamp wick, right?” Figo said.

Lin Qi exclaimed in delight, "That's enough! But... is this alright?"

"of course."

"That's great! Thank you, uncle!"

Figo: "Aren't you going to refuse at all?"

Lin Qi, who was cheering with joy, paused and said embarrassedly, "I'm very worried about Grandma's condition. The later we get it, the weaker the effect of the Giant Bloodline Lamp Core will be... Besides, I've saved up a lot of money over the years. I should only need about half of what I get after selling it. I'll pay you back!"

"Okay, so how will you sell it?"

"We need to go to Sheriff Uncle Ahai first and contact the Serau Merchant Guild."

As they walked, Lin Qi explained some specific details to Figo.

Sheriff Ahai is the most powerful person on the island, managing the less than one hundred households on Wind Ring Island. He is said to have swordsmanship at the level of a lamp wick. In his youth, he left home to make his way in the world, but was injured and lost an ear before returning to the island to retire.

As for the Serau Merchant Guild, Lin Qi used more than a dozen words to describe it as powerful. It controls the sea area between dozens of islands, including Wind Ring Island. Whether in the near sea or the open sea, most of the trade of lamp wicks and lamps in this sea area must be carried out through them.

Previously, when Lynch discovered the wick, the Serau Merchant Guild could always send fishermen with the corresponding attributes to fish for it, and the success rate was very high. The reward given to Lynch was also relatively fair.

Figo understood immediately; wasn't this equivalent to being the contractor for this ocean?

He asked Lin Qi a few more questions, and sure enough, the sea of ​​lights scattered with lamp wicks was a strategic resource. Many merchant groups were established because of this, dividing up different areas of the sea to collect lamp wicks.

Lin Qi didn't know the specifics, but Figo judged that these merchant groups mostly had backgrounds with human nations, or perhaps... they started as pirates?

The division of territory is not child's play; it involves both the exchange of benefits and the use of force to suppress dissent.

Figo refined the general composition of the Starfire race's power through his speculations. As for the demon race, he learned more from Asmodeus.

Upon first entering the constellation of Lightfire, Figo had to scout out the situation, for human nature is fickle and unpredictable.

After ten thousand years of inheritance by the Starry Sky, the brave ancestors have passed away one by one. The races living here today may not be willing to acknowledge him as the Star King who reigns over the stars.

If they were still struggling to survive, that would be fine; if Figo were to arrive as a savior, they would certainly welcome him warmly.

But after three thousand years of stable development, with the establishment of numerous kingdoms, their power has even surpassed that of the 13 ancestors from ten thousand years ago. They may not still consider themselves to be of the same origin as the various races in the starry sky.

Qinghai, the land of hope, is also very special.

Should we acknowledge the king or not?

If we don't acknowledge it, we'll be letting down the 13 kings in heaven.

However, some might not be willing to accept the hardships and sacrifices of their predecessors, and there will certainly be concerns about the division of light among the lanterns in the sea of ​​lanterns.

Most of these originally belonged to them!

This is only human nature. If Figo were in Figo's shoes, he would feel the same way. He wouldn't be angry, but he wasn't prepared to conquer everything by force before he had sorted things out. He didn't want to end up like Lucifer, who was surrounded and killed, or to be betrayed from time to time. That would be disgusting.

Thinking about these things, Figo and Lynch gradually ventured deeper into the island and arrived at the door of another house.

"Uncle Ahai! Are you home? I need to use your internet connection!"

"Lin Qi? You little rascal, did you actually find the wick again?"

In the courtyard, accompanied by a slightly weathered voice, an old man with gray hair walked out of the courtyard. The smile on his face vanished the moment he saw Figo, and his eyes became sharp and wary.

"Lin Qi, who is he?"

"This is Uncle Figo!"

Chapter 290 No Intention of Man to Harm Rat

The Network Worm is a unique creature found only on the Star of Light, a special sea beast born under the influence of the will of the spirit of the dead ship.

As its name suggests, it is similar to the unreasonable Den Den Mushi (snail phone), and it can connect to the 'network'.

In fact, technology in the starry sky has already reached this level. The mechanical lifeforms in the Demon Hunter Guild are a kind of computer network that interacts with information and shares intelligence, but it is not widely used and its size is inconvenient to carry.

The naturally occurring cyber life forms seem somewhat magical.

Its appearance is that of a turtle, or rather, it was originally a turtle, but with some mutations, it has gained special abilities.

The turtle belonging to Ahai's family was very old and seemed quite lazy. Lin Qi easily flipped its shell upwards, revealing the screen underneath.

It looks a bit like a laptop.

"That's impressive," Figo said.

"Hehe." Lin Qi chuckled, typing on the network bug screen. His expression suddenly changed, becoming serious and focused.

"Lin Qi is a genius at manipulating network bugs," Ah Hai said with a smile. "He should be at the level of a lamp wick. Although network bugs only exist on lamp sparks, and lamp wicks scattered in the ocean are extremely rare, making it impossible to become a lamp fisherman, this talent is very popular in large merchant groups."

If it weren't for his grandmother, this child might have already gone to work for the Serau merchant group, and wouldn't need to risk his life in the sea every day.

"This time it's all good. Having met you, and after buying the Giant Bloodline Lamp wick, his grandmother's health will improve, and she should be able to leave this world."

Figo asked, "Then why not..."

Ahai knew what he was going to ask, and shook his head, saying, "I've told you many times, I'll take care of his grandmother for him first, and let him go out to earn money, but this child is still worried and refuses to leave."

"Hehe." Lin Qi chuckled again and said to Figo, "Uncle, look, the Serau Merchant Guild is now offering 1200 million lamp coins for angel bloodline lamp wicks. Wow, really, lamp hunters make a lot of money. I might not even get 50 for a lamp wick like that."

However, the Angel Bloodline Lamp Core can only slightly improve one's talent for cultivating the Heart Network, and it is also easy to grow a pair of useless and cumbersome wings. Not everyone can keep it like you, Uncle, so the price is not too high.

The Giant Bloodline Lampwick is almost twice as expensive, costing 2200 million lamp coins.

He explained some things to Figo very seriously before saying, "Uncle, if you have no objections, I'll call them to come and collect it."

By the way, by the way... hehe.

"And while you're at it, buy some Giant Bloodline Lamp wicks," Figo chuckled. "Don't be so polite."

"Uh-huh!"

Looking at the two of them, Ahai also smiled. After his initial wariness of strangers, he showed Figo reassurance and goodwill.

Even if a boy like Lin Qi is handsome and has a special skill, he wouldn't be worth 1200 million lamp coins if sold into slavery.

There is nothing of value on the island.

"Alright, Uncle." Lin Qi quickly finished the operation and said, "The people from the Serau Merchant Guild will be coming by boat, which will take about two or three days."

"The logistics are so-so." Figo smiled. "Okay, no rush. I'm just killing time anyway. I'll go take another trip out to sea and give it a try."

Lin Qi laughed and said, "A few years ago, when I first discovered lamp wicks, I was just as excited as you are, Uncle. But I'm not trying to discourage you, but these things depend a lot on luck. Sometimes you don't get any results for a month or two."

A few minutes later, Figo walked on the seabed and picked up the wicks of the three lamps in his hands.

Judging from their appearance, one of the three lamp wicks is the Long-Armed Clan Bloodline Lamp wick, one is the Flying Boat Control Technology Lamp wick, and one is the Swordsmanship Lamp wick.

Now they are all Figo's core.

Indeed, for Lynch, finding the wick was a matter of luck, but Figo was different. He was now hundreds of kilometers deep in the ocean, and no one could stroll around as leisurely as him!

Even fishmen are not an option.

because……

A strange fluctuation suddenly came from the ocean current behind him, causing Figo to smile slightly.

Turning around, he saw a terrifying sea monster hundreds of meters long, resembling a fish but not quite, with a ferocious aura, its mouth wide open as if to devour Figo.

These are mutated fish that appeared under the influence of the will of the dead ship spirit. In Qinghai, they have a special name - Sea Kings!

Figo gave a friendly smile and reached out a hand to the sea monster.

Within the flames of the lamps, there are also giant sea beasts over 5000 meters long, but unlike those in Qinghai, they are not 'afraid' and even possess the strength to light four or five lamps!

That sounds terrifying.

Holding three lamp wicks in one hand and dragging the sea monster back with the other, a sudden act of malice slightly dampened his good mood.

This was his spiritual premonition reminding him that someone had 'not good' thoughts about him.

"That's strange, I just got here..."

Who's being so annoying?

……

Meanwhile, on another large island.

Headquarters of the Serau Merchant Guild.

Lynch's sales and purchase information has been received and processed by the merchant group members and transferred to Endeze, who is in charge of Wind Ring Island.

As a merchant group that controls the trade of lamp wicks and lights in the sea area encompassing 81 islands, it naturally has its own internal subdivisions.

Ndeze is one of the regional heads.

Looking at the two messages that had been sent to him, Endaize thought for a while before remembering where Wind Ring Island was. He muttered in confusion, "It seems that no lamp wicks have been found near the sea in that small place for a long time. In recent years, because of that damned King of the Stars, there have been far fewer dead people in the starry sky than before. It's really lucky that something like this could be found."

"Huh, is that a lamp wick that's already been fished out?"

He frowned slightly. The profit margin of the wicks that had already been caught would be much lower. More importantly, where would the angels come from in that wretched place?

He looked up some information and gradually became interested. "Was it a wandering lantern hunter, or... did he encounter a visitor from outer space?"

It's no wonder he thought that way. Since the information about the "Lamplight Lodge" was released six years ago, the number of people coming to the Lamps Star each year has increased several times over, and he has come into contact with many of them.
