Tide Altar—What Lu Li was looking for was right in front of him.
The Luli upgrade ring actually takes the path of exchanging sacrifices for energy, at least for the first three levels, so an altar is needed to provide energy for the ring.
It's not that there are no higher-end existences than the Tide Altar, and the effect of upgrading the ring may be better.
But with Lu Li's current ability, the Tide Altar is already his limit.
In fact, the Tide Altar is not bad. This altar is not just an altar built casually on a deserted island by the sea. It has a long history.
Stranglethorn Vale appears to be the only region of Azeroth that has not been touched by the war.
There was an ancient troll civilization here, and they built magnificent cities, inhabited by trolls and later goblins.
The vast majority of trolls still seem to practice the custom of cannibalism, and certain troll tribes have been identified as cannibals, including the Moss Rotten Trolls and the Evil Branch Trolls.
Beyond this, all known frost trolls today have been proven to be cannibals. Desert trolls, forest trolls, and jungle trolls occasionally practice cannibalism, although not very frequently.
Even the mysterious dark trolls are believed to be mostly cannibals. However, there are some notable exceptions. For example, the Zandalar tribe and the Maltooth tribe eat other humanoid creatures but not trolls. The Darkspear tribe also maintained the custom of cannibalism before joining the tribe. Now the Darkspear tribe has confirmed that they have given up cannibalism.
The cooking recipe found in 6 is proof that the trolls are very fond of grilled fish people.
According to some unreliable records, the fish people who were afraid of being eaten prayed for the arrival of the Lord of the Tides.
The water elemental lord Tidehunter Neptulon responded to their call. He set off boundless waves, sinking the once magnificent city, and the tide even ravaged the entire Stranglethorn Vale.
The city was in ruins, and the trolls were divided into several hostile tribes.
Later, Thrall's orcs moved here with their allies, the Darkspear clan, those jungle trolls who gave up their cannibalistic habits.
The island at the foot of 6 Li is just the tip of the iceberg. An ancient troll city once sunk here.
The altar where the fish people called the Lord of Tides was right in front of him.
Please note that it is a call, not a summons.
With the abilities of the fish people, they are not enough to summon demigods like elemental lords.
However, this is enough for Lu Li.
Now he needs a spellcaster. There is no way for thieves to open the altar.
Fortunately, I was prepared.
Lu Li approached the altar, took out the jade statue in his hand, and placed it on the altar.
The crystal-clear statue emits emerald green fluorescence, and ripples visible to the naked eye ripple out.
Unfortunately, this is just an ordinary jade sculpture of Neptulon. Because this altar has been visited by Neptulon before, it can resonate, and it is not enough to successfully summon Neptulon.
Luli didn't expect to summon Neptulon, he didn't want to die yet.
"Who summons the great god of tides?" A lavender teleportation array flashed out from the inscription outside the altar, and a fishman priest wearing a green robe walked out of nothingness.
"Your Majesty, Moon Goddess, the night elves from Darnassus say hello to you," Lu Li took off the jade statue and handed it to the priest.
The fishman priest grabbed the statue and shouted excitedly: "Oh, I saw something."
"I hope you will like this gift," Lu Li felt relieved as the light on the fishman priest changed from red with hatred to green representing friendliness.
Only fishmen can activate the Tide Altar. If no sacrifice appears, he really has nothing to do.
"Young elf, you are such a polite child, tell me if there is anything I can do to help you," the priest was in a good mood and carefully put the statue into his arms.
"I am an adventurer who pursues powerful power, and I very much hope to obtain the power of the God of Tides," Lu Li said straightforwardly.
The priest's expression changed instantly, "What, you actually dare to have the idea of an altar."
He is just a stronger elite, and may not be able to defeat the thief who can take out the jade statue in front of him, so he is very alert.
It is said that the night elves are very powerful and even defeated the naga that frightened the murlocs.
When they see the enemy, they swarm forward. If they can't defeat them, they turn around and run away. Murlocs are all fierce-looking creatures, but they are actually very timid.
"You misunderstood. I will not use the altar in vain. I brought you your reward." Lu Li took out a large amount of rare materials and placed them one by one in front of the altar.
The priest's eyes widened, and he murmured for Neptulon, trying to strengthen his mind.
NPCs in the game Dawn can also be upgraded. There are two ways for them to upgrade. The first is to kill powerful enemies and grow in battle. This method is invalid for the fishman sacrifice, and he must guard the altar.
The second is to absorb external power.
The materials Lu Li took out were extremely lethal to the sacrifice. Not only could he use them to absorb energy, but he could also use these things to absorb purer divine power from the altar.
"Help me draw out the power of the altar. This is yours," Lu Li said like a devil, his words full of temptation.
"No, the power of the altar cannot be used easily. The great Lord of the Tides will punish him," the old priest's dry face was full of struggle.
"Don't be stupid, the Lord of the Tide will never appear in these ruins. Ask yourself, what is there that can attract a demigod here," Lu Li tortured the fish-man's soul harshly.
The poor old guy was almost crying.
"The fishmen should not be enslaved. You need to get rid of the clutches of the naga, and then you have the opportunity to find the powerful power to summon your tide god," Lu Li changed his angle.
"Yes," the old priest's eyes lit up: "We were once the masters of the ocean, and no one can enslave us except God."
"As a friendly elf, I very much agree with what you said," Lu Li echoed hypocritically.
This is such nonsense. Elves love nature and advocate balance, but they have never been a friendly race. They also kill and are greedy.
Unfortunately, the old priest's mind was completely filled with the blueprint described by Lu Li.
The fishmen should not be enslaved or linger in the ruins. They need a strong leader. The old priest felt that his youth had returned to his body again.
Lu Li gathered the materials together and pushed them over, "Take it, for the sake of stronger power and the future of the fishmen."
"I need to take inventory to see if there is anything I need," the old priest nodded heavily with red eyes.
Of course it was what he needed. Azure Sea Breeze had dealt with this old fish-man priest in his previous life and took a long list of materials from him.
"Except for me, I guess no one can come up with something better." In fact, Lu Li felt a little uneasy because he didn't know if this NPC would suddenly change his mind.
Fortunately, this is what the fishman priest wants.
Lu Li's pile not only contained the concentrated rare materials he needed, but also provided all the sacrifices to activate the altar, without any effort on his part.
The old priest inspected every piece of material in surprise, and finally hugged it tightly in his arms. (To be continued.)
