Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

He had just thought of going underwater with the fishmen.

But he stopped again.

Then, he released another warrior-class Demon Doll and made some changes to its attire.

After the upgrade of "God's Presence" skill.

Not only could he control multiple Demon Dolls, but the distance of his control had also improved.

The "Priest Doll" with Bat Wings donned a long robe, while the warrior doll still wore a set of defensive armor.

It looked like a master and a guard.

Controlling the two dolls, he leapt into the sea.

The leading fishman warrior stopped and curiously looked at the two obviously undead Demon Dolls.

Fang Hao explained through the Priest Doll, "I am human and not skilled in swimming. This is one of my avatars which can communicate underwater, and these two are my guards."

If it were necessary to go underwater, the orange necklace "Blessing of the Sea God" could provide the effect of underwater breathing.

But it was not necessary.

He didn't want to take the risk.

Moreover, if there were any danger, he would have enough time to leave with his people from the ship.

The fishman warrior glanced with confusion but did not say much.

He turned and led the three persons toward the depths of the sea.

The two Demon Dolls, dragging the body of the ancient blood servant, were not slow.

They could completely keep up with the speed of the fishmen.

As they delved deeper into the ocean, the light dimmed.

Meanwhile, more and more fishmen appeared within sight.

Thousands, tens of thousands, even more – their numbers were quite impressive.

The rich resources in the ocean, along with the absence of large-scale battles, allowed the fishmen of the Thornfin Sea to reproduce normally.

Finally, they reached the seabed.

Colorful marine plants and caves adorned with corals and seashells appeared within sight.

Fishmen peeked out from the stone caves, casting curious glances their way.

Human constructions are based on the ground, while fishmen's are more like buildings, with a large reef containing many caves providing homes for many fishmen.

Fang Hao looked around.

From afar, he saw the underwater mountain featured in Bai Xuan's photo.

It was immense, the surface "covered" with numerous barnacle-like entities, its original appearance unrecognizable.

But to call it a ship…

Really seemed a bit far-fetched.

…

The fishman warrior stopped in front of a large reef building.

The entrance of the reef was blocked by a familiar curtain of water.

This kind of water curtain, which Fang Hao had seen before in the Fishmen Temple in the lake, could isolate seawater.

"Come with me," he said.

"Wait," Fang Hao, controlling the Priest Doll, stopped him and said, "Can you arrange for someone to show him around? To understand what items you need that we could cooperate on."

The fishman warrior glanced at the warrior doll on the side.

Finally, he nodded, "Wait at the door for a little while."

After speaking, he led the way into the light curtain.

"You wait for me at the door," Fang Hao told the ancient blood servant.

Although reef dwellings were tall, they could not accommodate the body of the ancient blood servant.

And the warrior doll had other tasks later.

"Yes, my lord," the ancient blood servant nodded in response.

Its tall figure stood by the side.

Fang Hao did not delay and controlled the Priest Doll to enter the water curtain.

The water curtain caused a faint ripple.

As the vision cleared, they had entered inside.

Inside the reef, was a space similar to a clan leader's hall, adorned with metal chandeliers and Nightstones.

This made the hall relatively bright.

At the front, a visibly burly fishman with a fierce head sat on a coral throne.

A pair of round bulging fish eyes were goggling at him.

[Thornfin Lord - Guk Tuk (Orange Tier Five)].

The strength of the fishmen in this Thornfin Sea was truly formidable.

No wonder even the Sea Tribe didn't want to provoke them.

Fang Hao observed him, and the fishman leader was also observing the Demon Doll.

"Lord, humans cannot breathe underwater; this is his avatar, which can also converse," the Thornfin warrior took the lead to explain.

He then added, "He hopes you can arrange for someone to take one of his subordinates to have a look outside."

The Thornfin Leader glanced at the Demon Doll and, listening to his subordinate's explanation, then withdrew his gaze.

"Alright, take him around nearby."

The Thornfin warrior nodded and turned to leave.

The fishman leader then refocused his attention on Fang Hao, "You are a human? From the Hundred Cities Federation?"

His tone was strange, but still understandable.

"Yes," Fang Hao did not deny.

It was evident that the fishmen were not as primitive and chaotic as the Federation records suggested.

They simply preferred not to engage with the outside world.

The fishman leader continued, "Recently, your human ships have been frequently engaging in battles near the Thornfin Sea. Do you know why?"

He wants to probe for information through me.

Fang Hao thought for a moment and said, "The Hundred Cities Federation and the Sea Tribe have had disputes, and the forces they support have started the battles at sea."

"Why then, does it frequently happen near the 'Thornfin Sea'?"

"I understand that there are clashes in many places, perhaps it's just more frequent here," Fang Hao casually said.

The Fishmen Clan Leader fell silent and then accepted the reason.

After all, both fleets hadn't really entered the core area.

Now that they have either sunk or retreated, pursuing this matter was meaningless.

After asking about this.

The Fishmen Clan Leader then continued, "We are in great need of these two pieces of equipment, what do you want to exchange for them from me?"

The Fishmen greatly needed the equipment.

Unlike the Sea Tribe, they didn't have fixed islands.

Always living underwater and not interacting with other races, the sea dwellers of this region were always consuming their own resources.

They basically had no intact equipment left.

Their armor was in tatters, and their weapons, even if frequently honed, were no longer sharp due to the erosion from seawater.

The best equipment they now had.

Were those that had fallen into the sea during battles between the Federation and the Sea Tribe.

Which they had collected.

Fang Hao thought for a moment and said, "Warfire Coin settlement?"

"We don't store Warfire Coins," the Fishmen Clan Leader shook his head.

Fang Hao continued to ask, "Then what do you use for settlement?"

The Fishmen Clan Leader threw over an object resembling a seashell.

It had no properties.

It only had some patterns carved on one side of the shell.

Mainly, this kind of thing was of no use to him.

"Then I can exchange some resources with you, such as ores, various pearls, and coral crystals," Fang Hao continued.

"Possible, I can provide these things on my end, how should we exchange them?" the Fishmen Clan Leader looked at him again.

"Each material is priced differently, and I am not sure what you want to exchange, or maybe mix and match," after briefly thinking, he said, "How about this, you list all the items you want to sell, and I will calculate the price according to the Trade Alliance's rates, and exchange the equipment of corresponding value with you."

The Fishmen Clan Leader thought for a moment, and it indeed seemed like a solution.

Otherwise, both parties really wouldn't be able to trade.

"Alright, then come back here at this time tomorrow, I will have some materials tallied up."

"Sure, I will bring someone who is good at accounting to come over and help with the tally," said Fang Hao.

The Fishmen Clan Leader nodded, "Sure!"

After discussing serious matters, Fang Hao didn't want to leave.

Outside, another Demon Doll, under the leadership of the warrior, was still wandering nearby.

Searching for what might be treasure marked on treasure maps.

Just as he was thinking of topics to possibly delay time.

On one side of the hall, an ordinary Fishman came out.

"Clan Leader Guk Tuk, Priest Guk Sutei requests this gentleman to come over," the Fishman said softly.

The leader nodded, "Human friend, since the priest wants to see you, please go and see him, nothing unpleasant will happen."

Fang Hao didn't want to leave and naturally nodded in agreement.

He followed the Fishman towards a room on the side.

...

It was passing through another water curtain.

Fang Hao entered another room.

The lighting was even dimmer, an old Fishman in a long robe sat cross-legged on a coral cushion.

Tiny, long barbels flanked by his nose hung down from both sides to the ground.

[Priest Guk Sutei—Purple Tier Six]

Yet another priest, who had already reached the purple tier six.

The presence of orange and purple tier heroes already proved that the Fishmen of the 'Thornfin Sea' weren't weak.

"Please sit!" the Priest said.

Fang Hao looked around and then sat down on another coral cushion nearby.

He began, "Just now, I had a chat with your God's Servant, he serves you."

God's Servant, Fang Hao paused for a moment, then quickly realized he referred to the Ancient Blood God's Servant.

It appears, while talking business with the Fishmen Clan Leader.

He had a chat with the Ancient Blood God's Servant.

"In a temple, I found him and added him to my dominion," Fang Hao briefly explained.

The Fishmen Priest, gently stroking his long barbels.

The tone also grew more respectful, "Welcome, Chosen Son of the Gods."

Saying this, he also slightly bowed his head as a greeting.

Chosen Son of the Gods?

Fang Hao was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why a new title had suddenly emerged.

The last time a similar situation had occurred was with Demitrija.

These Fishmen wouldn't also be introducing a female Fishman, intending to bear pure bloodlines with him, would they?

Yet, while Fishmen satisfied the conditions in their lower half, their upper half was rather hard to look at.

"Uh, what does that mean? Just to be clear, I don't accept loveless unions."

...

Outside.

Another warrior doll, in the role of a guard.

Led by 'Warrior Kuk Tish', toured the Fishmen's area.

After going round and round for a long time.

Finally, they fairly and squarely arrived in front of the mountain in the central area.

At the same time, a piece of information appeared.

[Ship: The King's Palace (Dark Gold)]

[Type: Ship (Damaged)]

[Capabilities (Damaged): Defense level six, Magic Power-driven, deck city, power level seven, load-bearing level seven]
