CHAPTER 532: CHAPTER 342 SEA DEMON CLAN TEMPLE_2

Of course, this situation isn’t absolute.

The Sea Demon Clan hasn’t stipulated that males can’t become the High Priest, but only the Sea Demon with the strongest Tide Summoning Ability is qualified to inherit the position.

Since women have stronger Spiritual Attributes, they have a clearer advantage in terms of Tide Summoning Ability.

In the history of the Sea Demon Clan, there have been male High Priests, but they are quite rare.

Overall, male Sea Demons usually become Strength-type warriors, typically using weapons like harpoons, while female Sea Demons tend to become Wave Summoners, mastering Water Magic Power.

...

Upon entering, High Priest Sona scanned the few individuals present in the main hall.

Besides Friggs, there were also four humans including Lu Heng.

Just by looking at the appearance, humans and Black Iron Dwarves are both considered land creatures.

And land creatures typically lack the ability to communicate in water; breathing is also quite difficult.

High Priest Sona raised her magic wand and with a wave, a surge of tidal power swept through the main hall, creating a vortex and pushing the seawater aside.

In a blink of an eye, the seawater in the main hall was pushed outside, filling the space with air.

As the seawater was pushed out, Lu Heng and the four humans along with Friggs immediately felt their breathing become unobstructed, while seawater still dripped off their bodies onto the ground.

Whew!

Lin Zeyu opened his mouth and took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, showing a very satisfied expression.

The Black Iron Dwarves mostly have a temper like molten lava in a volcano.

As Friggs breathed in the air, he finally spoke, shaking the shackles on his hands, pointing at High Priest Sona and angrily cursing: "You damn Sea Demons, always ambushing us in the sea!"

Hmph!

High Priest Sona’s face showed anger, she swung her sleeves and scolded: "You group of Black Iron Dwarves, instead of staying on land, you insist on coming into the sea seeking death!"

The surrounding Sea Demon warriors and guards all fumed with rage, holding harpoons, knives, and axes, waiting for the High Priest’s order to chop the Black Iron Dwarf into mince and feed it to the sharks.

Friggs had no intention of retreating at all; he volunteered to be captured here, never expecting to return alive.

Therefore, he pointed at the Sea Demon Clan’s High Priest and continued to curse.

High Priest Sona’s face grew more heavily angered, and the atmosphere turned into a powder keg.

Seeing the situation, Lu Heng knew that if something wasn’t done soon, this Black Iron Dwarf Captain would be sliced and diced immediately, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Everyone, hold on a moment. Whatever grudges and conflicts there are, we can sit down and discuss them."

High Priest Sona glanced at Lu Heng and coldly snorted, "It’s not your turn yet."

Lu Heng proactively identified himself: "We are Summoners from the Human World. You may not have seen humans, but you should know of the existence of Summoners."

High Priest Sona coldly snorted and said, "Certainly, the death of an Abyss Summoner won’t be much better than that of a Black Iron Dwarf."

Regarding summoning, to the native species, it may not necessarily be a good thing.

Thus, not all native species are welcoming towards Summoners.

After all, Abyss Summoners are also Summoners, but they are summoned from the Abyss and their tasks involve assisting the Abyss in devouring the target world.

Positive Summoner tasks usually involve helping the target world purify Abyss Pollution Sources, yet there are a multitude of special circumstances.

For example, among Summoners, there is the case of the "Traitor," which further causes native species to be wary of Summoners.

Additionally, there’s the issue of "raiding teams."

All these factors combined make native species not always friendly towards Summoners, and maintaining neutrality is already quite commendable.

Lu Heng hurriedly explained, "My task requires establishing diplomatic relations with the Sea Demon Clan, hoping humans can coexist peacefully with the Sea Demon Clan. Furthermore, my Challenge Task is to find Abyss Pollution Sources, meaning there’s a high probability of such a source existing in the Tidal Sea. Even if you don’t trust humans, you should at least locate and clean up the Abyss Pollution Source first."

High Priest Sona narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold and beautiful face displayed a pondering expression, and she questioned, "My guards reported that you helped the Black Iron Dwarves."

Currently, the Sea Demon Clan and Black Iron Dwarves are in a hostile relationship. Though not at war yet, the relationship is indeed quite strained.

Therefore, humans assisting Black Iron Dwarves are naturally marked with hostility by the Sea Demon Clan.

Lu Heng sighed and explained, "Alright. I won’t hide it; my Challenge Task requires me to help you reconcile with the Black Iron Dwarves.

"The Challenge Task isn’t mandatory to complete, but I still want to give it a try.

"High Priest, please don’t get angry; hear my suggestion before making a decision.

"The Black Iron Dwarves are a land species, while the Sea Demon Clan is a marine species.

"On the terms of survival space, there shouldn’t be any competition between your two groups, so technically there shouldn’t be any conflict between your clans.

"What causes you to be hostile toward each other? Can you tell me the reason?"

In fact, Lu Heng knew some reasons behind the conflict between the two species but just had a general idea; it’s better to ask clearly.

A nearby Sea Demon warrior shouted angrily, "It’s those damn Black Iron Dwarves, dumping volcanic ash into the sea, polluting our seawater!"

This explanation aligns closely with memory.

Based on what was previously known, the reason the Sea Demon Clan attacked the Black Iron Dwarves was because the dwarves dumped volcanic ash and coal cinders into the Tidal Sea, polluting the seawater.

The Tidal Sea is the home of the Sea Demon Clan; having garbage dumped around their home by Black Iron Dwarves naturally angers them.

Any species would be upset if another species dumped garbage into their living area, polluting the environment, creating inevitable enmity.

However, there is a question—why do Black Iron Dwarves dump volcanic ash into the sea?

Lu Heng looked at Friggs and asked, "Captain, if you want to resolve the two species’ enmity, it’s best to answer this question: why do Black Iron Dwarves dump volcanic ash into the Tidal Sea?"

Friggs snorted coldly, somewhat unreasonably saying, "The Tidal Sea is so large, the volcanic ash we dump isn’t even in the Sea Demon Clan’s territory, with not a single Sea Demon residence within a thousand miles—why can’t we do it? Is the entire world’s ocean theirs?"

These words seemed to hold a grain of reason.

The Sea Demon Clan indeed lives in the Tidal Sea, but considering its vastness, whether every inch of the ocean belongs to the Sea Demon Clan is up for debate.

High Priest Sona coldly snorted, "Black Iron Dwarves are indeed uncommunicable, drag him away and feed him to the Sea Beasts!"

Two Sea Demon warriors stepped forward to drag Friggs away.

Lu Heng hurriedly intervened, "Wait."
