[Partial panel information of the target:]

[Name] Vadoclon

[Identity] Third-rate Dread Scale nobleman of the Sirens Kingdom

The Sirens Kingdom practices slavery.

Tide Guard and Furious Tide Warriors are slave soldiers of the Sirens Kingdom.

When Dread Scale nobles go out to hunt humans, they buy slaves from slave owners as their own soldiers.

The privileges of Dread Scale nobles are maintained by “water pressure”, which is a natural barrier distinguishing the hierarchy of sea monsters.

Unlike humans, who use “up” to represent a higher status, sea monsters, being extraordinary creatures of the deep sea, use “down” to represent a higher status.

The deeper the sea water, the greater the water pressure, and the higher the status of the sea monster living there.

Slave-class sea monsters can only rely on their physical body to withstand water pressure and can only be active in water depths of up to 600 meters.

Water depths of 600 to 1,000 meters are the activity ranges of third-rate Dread Scale nobles and regular sea monster soldiers.

Most of the third-rate Dread Scale nobles rely on the “Water Pressure Shunting Technique” granted by tribal elders to counter water pressure.

A small number of third-rate Dread Scale nobles resist water pressure through their physical body, these sea monsters usually come from the elite promotion of the slave class, and they become slave owners managing slaves for Dread Scale nobles.

The fat sea demon Wadocklang you saw is a third-rate Dread Scale nobleman who has been authorized by the Dread Scale Elder to use the “Water Pressure Shunting Technique” to resist water pressure.

[Feature]

Heart of the Sea Monster:

Vadoclon possesses a strong heart of the sea monster, with mental damage resistance of at least 40%, and immune to most mind control effects. As a price for his strong mind, he is very slow in reacting and can hardly detect the existence of mental magic.

[Deconstruction Result 3:]

[You have unlocked a new Scholarly Skill: “Sea Monster Linguistics”, currently at Level 1.]

Noland Lee recalled his experiences.

So far, he had killed three Tide Spies and six Tide Hunters.

The three Tide Spies were all human wizards who had transformed after practicing the Deep Sea Scales Meditation.

Their panel information did not contain the word “slave”, nor did they have the “Heart of the Sea Monster.”

The six Tide Hunters, on the other hand, appeared around the invisible magic yacht after Noland Lee took Mermaid Vivian on board Hadley Grant’s ship.

At that time, Noland Lee used “Psychic Bombardment” to easily kill these six Tide Hunters.

The deconstruction results showed that the six Tide Hunters were also human wizards who had transformed after practicing the Deep Sea Scales Meditation. They were not sea monster slave soldiers and did not have the “Heart of the Sea Monster” either.

If sea monsters transformed from humans are called Dread Sail Wizards, then those who have the “Heart of the Sea Monster”, like Vadoclon, should be called native sea monsters.

No native sea monsters have died at the hands of Noland Lee yet.

This is the first time he has learned that native sea monsters practice slavery through the process of deconstruction.

Selena had never mentioned the practice of slavery among native sea monsters to him.

On the one hand, Selena was not responsible for specific matters related to combating pirates.

On the other hand, native sea monsters have their own language, which the Deep Sea Branch has yet to decipher.

As for obtaining information about native sea monsters’ slavery system by torturing captured Dread Sail Wizards, that idea is even more unlikely.

Clearly, there is a state of control between Dread Sail Wizards and Dread Scale leviathans.

The flow of information between the two is one-directional.

Noland Lee opened Vadoclon’s memory fragments and examined them.

The memory content confirmed his speculation.

The so-called Dark Scale Elder, specifically responsible for training Dread Sail Wizards, operates the Dread Scale leviathans’ intelligence network in human society within the Suman Archipelago.

Dread Sail Wizards report directly to this Dark Scale Elder, periodically submitting intelligence or carrying out instructions in exchange for rewards from the Sirens Kingdom.

There is no inverse situation where the Dark Scale Elder discloses details of the Sirens Kingdom to the Dread Sail Wizards.

Noland Lee might not be the first to know about these matters.

Selena’s brother, Lonco Pomida, the Deputy Principal in charge of dealing with sea monster pirates, should know about these things as well.

But it has nothing to do with Noland Lee.

For now, Noland Lee does not want to have any interaction with him.

Back to the present situation.

The reason why the fat sea demon, a third-rate Dread Scale nobleman, appeared outside the Sirens Kingdom has also become somewhat clear to Noland Lee.

In the first memory fragment, the content related to the regular Trial of Courage for Dread Scale nobles is shown.

From this memory fragment, it seems that the Dread Scale Elder responsible for managing the third-rate Dread Scale nobles is not the Dark Scale Elder rumored to be in charge of spy affairs.

That is an old, hunched sea monster named Vaslanzi.

The Dread Scale Elder with a snake’s forked tongue, staring at the fat sea demon with sinister eyes, ordered him to start his Trial of Courage.

The content of the Trial of Courage was to attack a human fleet and capture spoils of war and offerings for ceremonies.
