The Darkscale Priestess, the moment she fell into the water, immediately swam into the depths, instantly reaching a hundred meters away. They have a snake-like lower body with fin-like structures on their dorsal sides and tails. Swimming quickly in the water is hard to catch, but there are exceptions.

Another spell was cast, and the arcane energy in Shane's eyes overflowed, and in his spiritual vision, a small hole was opened in the back of the Darkscale Priestess, and in the blink of an eye, the spell exploded, followed by a tooth-sour tearing sound, a big rift! The priestess was dismembered by the spell in an instant. Her death was impossible, and her body could not exist, and it was swallowed up with the sea.

But the spell did not stop, a large stream of magic power poured out of the body, and Shane's hands seemed to carry the power of a thousand jun, and at this moment, he lifted it up violently, and the sound of explosion and thunder exploded under the water.

The big fissure expanded again, and the cross fissure, about ten meters, sucked up thousands of tons of seawater like a bottomless black hole. The whirlpool, the sea surface a hundred meters away seemed to have collapsed, and in an instant, the angry waves were rushing, unstoppable, and even Shane's ship was slowly pulled away under this force.

At this moment, Esther moved her lips and sighed, unable to say anything, watching countless Naga being sucked away by the Great Rift, including her people.

Enough was enough, hundreds of lives were extinguished in a matter of seconds, Shane stopped channeling the spell, the magic subsided, most of it was consumed, and only a small half remained in the body as a deterrent.

He looked back, and the priestess looked at her more respectfully.

"Lady Naga, go and gather your people, and don't suffer unnecessary losses at the last moment."

"Yes, please call me Esqui, and my tribe and I will serve you today."

There is no need to investigate how much truth there is, and sometimes there is no better choice, so she can only choose to follow.

Shane paced to the bow of the ship, and seeing this spell, who still had the will to fight, the remnants of the dark scale Naga in his eyes were retreating, in order to escape. Not hesitating to face the enemy on the back, there is no doubt that the basic organization has been lost, and it is simply impossible to turn back and fight again.

Not far away, Esther also took out a conch and blew it. A long, low sound that penetrates the air and sea, and reaches into the distance.

As the sound stopped, three Naga warriors jumped out of the water, their heads and bodies. All of them have lost their humanoid traits, and they can't imagine that they were once the same race as the elves. They exchanged a few words with Estie, and then retreated to the sea and commanded their companions to gather at the bottom of the boat.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?"

At this time, Estie walked, but was stopped by her followers, and her status was not recognized.

"Yes, Your Excellency, my people are disengaging from the enemy, please wait a moment."

"And then?"

"I would like to ask Your Excellency the Mage to order the ship to sail north for a day, and though I know it is rude, I beg your permission. It's for the future of our people, and it's also for you to serve you better. ”

Naga wanted to repent, and they could have walked away, but it was clear that something had come wrong with her plea. There is no one-touch trust in the world, and there is no loyalty without a cause. Because building trust is a process, what needs to be done now is to convince Estie that she is being trusted, and in fact she may be testing how far she can be trusted.

Thinking of this, Shane said, "Yes, you go and take care of your people." I will give the order to sail north for a day. ”

"Grateful"

The order was conveyed, and who dared to disobey at this time, the goblins put away even the smallest thoughts, and the power of magic was like this in the eyes of mortals. There is no disobedience.

Everyone immediately began to act, counted the losses, and set sail for the north. The followers used their whips to urge the goblins to work, and more than a dozen corpses were carried out of the cabin and thrown overboard. Then the sea water was used to wash the bloodstains, and only the goblins died, and they were the only ones who were punished.

Everything was planned by Fermi to cause the battle, and he took the money from the Bluescale Naga and sold the weapon to the Darkscale Naga in order to get on the line with the Darkscale Naga. After being robbed of the ship by Shane, he wanted to drive the ship to the territory of the Darkscale Naga and wiped out Shane and his followers, but the mechanism was calculated but the power gap was wrong.

Criminal law needs to be enforced, with impunity, and even if you have power, you will lose leadership.

Shane put a collar on it and activated the circle on it. The collar shrinks well, just enough to jam its trachea and prevent it from breathing. Some say it's a good feeling to suffocate, some say it's scary, and Shane doesn't feel anything when he watches Fermi roll on the ground and beg for mercy.

To avoid soiling the floor, stop casting only before Fermi's nerves get out of control.

"Alright, Jimmy, when it wakes up tell it to do something for me and not have a next time."

"Yes, master, I will educate my brother well"

As soon as he stepped out of the bottom of the boat, he heard Jimmy's excited breathing, and it wasn't long before there was a noise below, and the first thing Fermi said when he woke up was, "Look at the good things you do." Then the two scuffled together.

Shane smiled, goblins had goblin minds, and their problems were left to them to solve inside, walking over to the splint and breathing in the fresh sea breeze. Leaving the place of battle, the god of luck once visited Shane, and the wind suddenly increased, and the ship sped away like a sharp arrow.

Estie and her men hooked the bottom of the ship with their weapons, and with the help of the boat, they marched together.

The ship continued north for another night, stopping at noon on the outskirts of a reef that was a storage point for their tribe, and Estie and her people traveled back and forth to carry supplies.

On the splint, Esther pointed to the treasures and said, "All for you, Master Master." ”

Pearls, jewels, gold coins, did not surprise Shane, among his followers were those who learned to work with jewelry, valuation was his basic skill, and those treasures were expected to be sold in Quel'Thalas, which was more than 100,000 gold coins.

The grace of saving lives is repaid with money, not to mention whether you look at it or not, it will also appear shallow. But Shane looked in her eyes with a determination to make a choice.

"I'll take all of this, what do you ask?"

"I would like to ask you to protect the young of my people, who have not grown up and cannot bear the hardships of the long journey, and I hope that they will be allowed to live on the ship temporarily."

"Yes"

"Thank you," Chaun agreed, and she called out to the bottom of the boat, and six little Naga were carried up by the current, all of them mothers. They seemed to be frightened, and they all hid on Estie's tail and didn't dare to move, only to stick out their little heads boldly and secretly look at Shane.

"Because, the female is the future" she saw Shane's doubts, and slowly explained the social structure of the Naga, all the activities of a tribe revolve around women, and the female Naga also inherits the knowledge and traditions of the tribe. At the height of the battle, she hid the girls who were qualified to become priests, and the rest of the juveniles, both male and female, gave up, and this was the sorrow of the tribe that had lost its military life.

"What do you want in the end?"

"Protection, we want to get the protection of Your Excellency Mage, now that my tribe is weak, the larger tribe of fishmen can destroy us, so I want to get the protection of Your Excellency Mage, and a habitat. For this we offer our faithfulness, and the six of them are entrusted to you to teach, and when they come of age, they return to the tribe as priests, as a pledge of our faithfulness. ”

Wise people usually say things that the other person can't refuse.

Shane agreed to Esthi's terms, but the habitat would not be found until he returned to Lordaeron.

Esquire couldn't refuse, because she didn't have a better choice.

"Come out and meet your guardian," he said, curling his tail and sending out the little Naga one by one, "Say hello to your guardian." (To be continued.) )
