Chapter 868: Songs

The two of them locked eyes for a long time before either of them said anything. Then the Orca slowly circled around Sage and stopped in front of him, Theres still something unusual about you, but I cant pinpoint what it is. You were far too calm in front of the Killer Crew, and you said something weird. Do you have the guts to say it again? Was I right about you, or are you just all talk?

Sage had previously learned that the gang of Killer Whales had done nothing against the rules of the Great Pod by attacking him. Just like the other cities of the Depths they only banned combat while within the city. There was nothing preventing their citizens from turning into complete pirates and killers whenever they were not in the city itself. He had to admit he was impressed by the intuition of this Pirate Captain and it now made sense why the Killer Crew was so fearsome. If their leader always had this sort of preternatural intuition then it would definitely give them a huge boost to survivability. It seemed much like having a naturally lucky person around to make decisions. If you couldnt have a great commander, the next best choice would be a lucky one.

I asked if you wished to be the rulers of the sea. I was going to offer your crew an opportunity. I have a sea in my territory and it is filled with mindless beasts. Ive been collecting Demonic Fish to release there to improve it, but I could use some smart and powerful subordinates to take over.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.

He chose to clarify his prior intentions with a bit of obfuscation. It was in fact his territory, so if the Orca had some method to detect lies then it would still be true, but he didnt have to reveal the secret of where the territory he was referring to was actually located. Sage was able to repeat his earlier pitch without being disrupted this time and hed also been careful not to give away any of his secrets in the process.

Sage did some trading in the Great Pod, getting very good deals by swapping resources from the Inner World that were quite rare here in exchange for materials that were cheap and common here yet were very rare on the outside world. This was true for all of the Depths, but there was a little more variety here as the population was mostly cetaceans and didnt have as many human cultivators. They had vastly different priorities and also didnt have as much contact with the other cities of the Depths due to their lacking a Transportation Formation. With such favorable deals he made more than enough money to pay for learning everything the School of the Golden Song had available. It certainly wasnt cheap, costing him a few million Spirit Stones worth, but it was only a fraction of the profits he made from the Great Pod.

Learning all the abilities of the School of Golden Song was not because he wanted to use them for himself, it was because he couldnt help himself in collecting more techniques for the Inner World and the Lang Clan. Unfortunately, the cetaceans didnt use any objects to store their knowledge. There was the equivalent of Keepers for the School of the Golden Song and if he wished to learn their techniques he had to train with them. Sage suddenly found himself becoming a long term resident of the Great Pod. Unlike the other cities of the Depths where hed moved on after a few weeks or months, Sage ended up spending years training in the Great Pod. He wasnt stuck only in the city during this time, heading out into the surrounding water to hunt the local sea life quite often while spending only a few hours each day at the School of the Golden Song.

The signature techniques of the school were also quite interesting, though somewhat basic in comparison to the other schools and sects. The Golden Song, as they called it, was essentially a method that used sound as a medium to transform energy into a solid form. It was a song infused with Qi that was used to create solid barriers or weapons to attack with. Each of the different objects that could be formed was a slightly different Golden Song. Many masters from the school had their own versions of each song, adding little variations and tweaks to the songs to essentially make their own customized weapons and shields.

Sage didnt ever dabble in singing, nor was there any related talents in those bodies he had merged with. Learning the techniques of the School of Golden Song was quite difficult for him, but he considered it to be a challenge and he had plenty of time to practice it on the Inner World. He could have stopped after learning a few of their techniques or did a few Merges to make it easier, but he wasnt really in a hurry. Hed already seen much of the Depths and he liked staying in the Great Pod as it was more isolated and cut off from the other cities.

Maybe I just like the whale songs when I head to sleep?
