“Since you guys could come here to talk to me, I guess you could already confirm that I do have the ability to allow you to go through the Cursed Barrier. However, there are many of you in Lantisde, and I can only provide a limited number of mud casings periodically. Hence, I cannot promise how long I will need to take to give all Lantisdeans this freedom,” Mag said to the high priest with equal solemnity. “But, I can promise from today onward, Lantisdeans will no longer be harassed by the Nether Sharks.”

“Lantisde will alway be remember your kindness.” The high priest placed his hand across his chest and bowed.

Gina and the rest of the merfolk also bowed with him.

“Please don’t mention it. This is all the guidance of God.” A smile appeared on Mag’s face. This was a very successful negotiation.

He had successfully established a supply chain for Nether Shark’s lips and fins. Most importantly, he had received a promise from a very powerful tribe to render him help three times.

This was literally an army suddenly appearing out of nowhere—one with 10-odds 10th-tier powerhouses.

This was going to be one of his strongest trump cards.

Furthermore, no one in this world knew about the existence of such a powerful tribe.

A smile also appeared in the high priest’s face. This indeed was the guidance of God.

From today onward, Lantisde was starting a new chapter in its history.

No more harassment from Nether Sharks and a clear hope for the world beyond.

“This is great. Mr. Mag is truly a good man.” An equally radiant smile appeared on Gina’s face. Although she didn’t expect Mr. Mag to bring up the three terms, the result was perfect and the negotiation was smooth. Lantisde got a better deal than expected.

The others on the boat were dumbfounded for the entire process as they had no idea what Mag and the high priest were talking about, but they, too, smiled along with them when they saw the merfolk saluting Mag—the negotiation seemed to have gone well.

“Seems like the negotiation is very successful? So, Boss is actually an expert in negotiation too,” Yabemiya murmured.

“Of course, Father is very formidable,” Amy said proudly.

A verbal contract naturally wasn’t feasible. Mag took out some pen and paper, and wrote two contracts on waterproof paper before signing them together with the high priest. Then, the negotiation was truly considered completed in a satisfactory way.

“Let’s look forward to a fruitful cooperation.” Mag extended his hand to the high priest.

The high priest was slightly taken aback. It seemed like this was the human’s social etiquette… After a moment of hesitation, he, too, extended his hand to shake Mag’s gently. “To a fruitful cooperation.”

After the signing of the contract, Mag began to instruct the System to prepare the magnetic field interference releasing balls and ultrasonic isolation wall.

The former was to destroy the Nether Sharks’ Nether Whirlwinds and give the merfolk a chance to fight the Nether Sharks in close combat. The merfolk who knew the Nether Sharks’ weakness didn’t fear fighting the Nether Sharks without their Nether Whirlwind defenses.

The latter was to make sure the Nether Sharks couldn’t get close to the area that was surrounded by the ultrasonic walls created by the magnetic field interference releasing balls. It could be used to build a defensive fortress easily, or build a demersal fishing ground in reverse.

There were only two buttons for the on/off. It was a foolproof operation, and it was very easy to get the hang of it.

“Is… Is this the amazing machine that the Holy Spirit used to disable the Nether Sharks’ whirlwinds earlier?” The high priest was holding the magnetic interference ball reverently as if he was looking at a priceless treasure.

“You could say that.” Mag nodded, still feeling a little guilty for pretending to be the Holy Spirit.

“God is so generous to us.” The high priest’s expression was full of reverence and gratitude.

“The quantity of magnetic interference balls is limited. However, after releasing it, all the Nether Sharks’ whirlwinds will be disabled within a radius of one kilometer. It should be sufficient if used in a squad formation.

“The number of ultrasonic balls is more than sufficient for you to disperse them around the important cities and towns to form a defensive fortress. During the time of Nether Sharks’ invasion, just retreat into the fortress and wait till they leave.

“I have already confirmed the location for the Nether Sharks fishing grounds. It is right at that big canyon. You can lure an adequate number of Nether Sharks into the canyon or capture and throw them in. Then, use the ultrasonic walls to block the gaps in the canyon. This is the location map of the canyon and the layout drawing of the ultrasonic balls.”

“Rearing the Nether Sharks. I am doing this to obtain its shark’s fins and shark’s lips…”

Mag continued to inform the high priest in detail about the layout plan, the establishment of the demersal fishing ground for Nether Sharks, and supply chain.

All these were prepared in advance by the system. Mag was simply doing the explanation. Moreover, they were already very simple in the first place.

The usually calm high priest was getting increasingly agitated as he listened to Mag. After Mag was done, he excitedly said to Mag, “Mr. Mag is indeed very thoughtful. With these amazing machines, the people of Lantisde will never have to fear the harassment from Nether Sharks any longer. We could even turn the tables around and prey on them!”

The Nether Sharks can be considered as a rare species. Maybe the merfolk of Lantisde could show a little restraint… Mag thought silently. Of course, he wouldn’t voice out such words.

For the past 1000 years, the Nether Sharks had almost erased Lantisde from existence. Countless merfolk perished in the jaws of the Nether Sharks.

He couldn’t make himself ask others to be magnamious.

The high priest used the crystal ball to hold the tens of thousands of metallic balls that Mag took out. It seemed like that was some storage equipment with a huge space.

“Mr. Mag, thank you for everything you have done for Lantisde. The Nether Sharks’ invasion is imminent, and I need to return to Lantisde to set up everything immediately. I shall bid my farewell now. I will visit you personally to show my gratitude soon.” The high priest kept the amazing machines. He was worried about Lantisde, so he was prepared to bid farewell to Mag and the ladies.

Gina was trying to say something at the side. She glanced at the high priest, and finally decided to keep quiet.

Mag saw that, and smilingly said, “High Priest, we have established a partnership now, but it is not very convenient for me to come to Lantisde. We need a person to send the drug needed for your people to pass through the Cursed Barrier to Lantisde, and someone is required to send the dried shark’s fins and lips you harvested to me. May I ask you to send someone to station at my restaurant, please?

Hearing that, the high priest glanced at Gina thoughtfully before he smiled and nodded. “Of course. Princess Gina has already spent some time with Mr. Mag, and she is the best among the young generation. She will make sure the drugs and ingredients will be safely delivered. Is it alright if I send her?”

Gina’s eyes lit up as she peered at Mag perturbedly. She wasn’t sure if Mr. Mag was willing to let her stay.

“If Miss Gina is willing, that would be the best.” Mag smiled at Gina.

“I am willing!” Gina burst out with an ecstatic smile on her face.
