Long before officially embarking on the path of a wizard, Duke encountered a person on that ship who was taken away by the Sea Race for having eaten a Beauty Shell.
The Beauty Shell has always been a treasure of the Sea Race, as well as their taboo.
When humans consume a Beauty Shell, it can enhance their Water Element Affinity, but they will also be cursed by the sea, and a peculiar aura will linger upon them.
The Sea Race can sense this aura from a great distance, and will travel thousands of miles to hunt them down.
Even wizards do not know the true significance of Beauty Shells to the Sea Race or why they guard them so fervently at any cost.
This is an absolute line that must not be crossed, forbidding humans or any demons from consuming Beauty Shells.
Recalling these records, Duke became even more cautious.
If this shell before him indeed was a Beauty Shell, he had to be careful not to harm it.
