"I rarely hear of merfolk appearing with Naga, but for some reason? Brand!

Duo asked, standing on the side of the boat.

"Nothing to do with it, human!" Before he could reply, the girl beside him immediately raised her eyebrows and scolded coldly. Brando noticed that this girl only had a pair of jade arms, a graceful figure, and looked like a human woman, not Naga, but a real mermaid girl, and looked at her appearance, which was already a little annoyed and angry.

The merfolk are kind-natured and never participate in the raiding of merchant ships, and if it weren't for the fact that the Grey Ash Clan is facing an existential stake, they would not have broken their promise to appear here. To Jenny's anger, the young man even asked seriously, "I rarely hear of mermaids appearing with Naga, for some reason?". , she couldn't help but grit her teeth, just afraid that the rumors would spread here, and everyone in the world thought that the mermaids were also robbers.

"Looks like they're in some trouble, too." Brando replied sharply.

"What do you think?" Nuner frowned.

"I just wanted to ask if there's anything we can do to help?" Brando asked tentatively.

Murner hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little moved, but as soon as his face changed, Brando guessed that Grayfin Naga must be in real trouble, otherwise how could he be so hesitant with the firmness of the other party. He searched and remembered the major events that happened in the Sea of Flashes during this period, and vaguely remembered the "Western Sea War" in the biography, but "the West Sea War". It started before the War of the Black Roses, and lasted from before the game to the end of the first act, with only a few introductions on the forums.

It's just a war that takes place on the border of Eruin, with little to no players outside of civilization.

Brando thought for a while, and said one step ahead of the other party: "It's better to be like this, we are actually also merchants, and there are many goods on the ship, if you have any needs, we can talk about business on the spot, and we don't have to stick to the formality of doing business." He wanted to befriend Ash Naga, and even Captain James could see it at this time, but the young captain had some doubts about this: the other party was a famous pirate, and it was unknown whether he had credibility or not, not to mention that Ash Naga was not the strongest in the Shining Sea.

"Nice," said the mermaid again, her voice as if she were singing, but with a tricky voice, "Are we not robbers, and if we ask for the goods of our ship, shall we agree or not?" ”

She stared at Brando, if the pseudo-businessman didn't agree, then she would definitely mock the other party for not believing his words. If she agrees, looking at the sparkle in her eyes, she must be climbing up the pole. However, the mermaid girl knows that human merchants have always been stingy and greedy, and most of them will find an excuse.

Unexpectedly, Brando didn't think about it, and replied directly: "It's not impossible to think about it." ”

The mermaid girl's eyes widened in surprise, "Hey, human, aren't you going to do business, how can anyone do business like this?" Believing that Brando was entertaining them, she couldn't help but ask.

"I have heard that the war between the Naga tribes is raging, and that there is a proxy war between the nations of the land, and I have invested in their wars, and if they win them, I may be able to share in the dividends. Even if I fail, I will only lose a shipload of goods, but I can also buy a favor, such a profitable business. Why didn't I do it? Brando asked rhetorically.

As soon as he did this, the mermaid girl became vigilant at once, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and ask, "How do you know that we are at war?" ”

"He's a liar." Purner sighed, he was rigid, but he was not stupid. The so-called "stupid fish" is just a nickname given to him by Brando and others, he doesn't know how to change it, he stretched out his hand and pulled the mermaid girl behind him, for fear that this tendonous witch will leak all their old bottoms in one go, and those who have never heard of such a business will not lose their lives.

The mermaid girl also reacted at this time, and couldn't help but grit her teeth and glared at Brando again, she had never seen such a hateful person, no wonder the old people in the clan were all human and cunning, and it was so.

Everyone behind Brando wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, especially Caglis, the young man now felt more and more that his lord was really cunning, and he heard that the lord's fiancée was good at managing money and was a first-class businessman, but now it seemed that this was just because of the family's style. Only Antitina couldn't help but remind, "Your Excellency, Lord ......"

Brando nodded to her and said that there was no need to worry, he knew that this noble sister was afraid that she would suffer. It's not a big deal to lose a shipload of cargo, but if Brando really invests in a war, Tonigel's finances will certainly not be able to support it. Of course, in fact, he is just, because he knows the future direction of history, and the gray wax Naga does not dominate the sea of glitter, but at least it will still exist after a few decades, and even if they do not win this war, at least they are not too outrageously defeated.

Moreover, even if Brando had the heart to invest, Shunir and the wisest queen of the Naga clan would not necessarily accept it, and everyone knew that there was no such thing as a free charity in this world.

"Okay" Tunir finally figured it out at this point, and asked, "Humans, do you have any medicinal herbs on the ship?" ”

"Medicinal herbs? Are any of you hurt? Brando keenly grasped the crux of the matter, there was no shortage of medicinal herbs in the sea, but what the Naga clan lacked was alchemy, they must have some big man seriously injured, and ordinary people would not use sea devils and mermaids. He immediately thought of the death of the Naga queen three years later, and thought that it might not be the death of the disease at all, but the death of the wound was too severe.

Queen Naga has the strength of the element of civilization, and it is entirely possible that Yan Zòng's injury will drag on for three years, and the more Brando thinks about it, the more he feels that his guess is the one closest to the truth.

"That's too much to ask." Purner replied dissatisfied.

"Well, let me guess, I've heard that there are a lot of rare medicinal herbs under the deep sea, and ordinary injuries will definitely not be difficult for them. Although there are only some standing medicinal herbs on the Far Land, I have heard that the medicine on land is far more sophisticated than the kingdom under the deep sea, and I happen to have some magical substitutes here. Maybe it will be useful for you. Brando replied.

"What's that?" Cinor asked.

Brando had already pulled out a translucent crystal bottle. This is Amman's gift, his most valuable gift, No. 1 Holy Water, No. 1 Holy Water has not produced a few bottles from the beginning, this is the work that the top High Priest of the Flame Temple and the Alchemy Wood Master will have to devote all their efforts to complete, and the two bottles in his hand may be the last remaining samples in the world. Brando decided to take a gamble, if the other party was really injured by the legendary queen as he guessed, then the bottle of potion he gave away would be worth the ticket price, if not, then it would definitely be a loss.

But since he took it out, he wouldn't look homely, and directly threw away the bottle worth 10,000 gold. Tunir took the No. 1 holy water, a little puzzled, of course he recognized it as the water of life, but Naga also had a lot of holy water stocks after robbing the Eruin merchant ships all year round, they didn't use these holy waters, but they didn't have any effect And this bottle of holy water in his hand is so good than ordinary holy water, I'm afraid it will be even more effective.

He raised his head and was about to question, but he didn't expect that the mermaid girl behind him had changed her face, snatched the No. 1 holy water in his hand, and unplugged the stopper and sniffed it, as if he had been electrified, and immediately plugged the cork back again. When he saw the witch who had come with him, he shuddered. I know that there is a difference, although this other party is a little simple, but the knowledge he has is inherited from the profoundness of the witch family, and he will definitely not be like this for no reason.

"What's going on?" He couldn't help but ask.

"For example, if Lou is not mistaken...... This is supposed to be the No. 1 holy water. The mermaid girl's voice trembled a little, and she said.

"Holy Water No. 1? What is that? Nuner was puzzled.

"So...... Lord Thaniel, if you are tired of having a master in the Sea of Glitter, you can buy half of the Sea of Glitter with this bottle of holy water alone," Jenny replied with a strange expression.

“?” At this time, Nir was also stunned, and suddenly felt that what he had just caught was not a bottle of potion, but a bombshell. Although it was not the first time he had participated in a raid, he had never seen a cargo of this value, and the Naga were also selective in plundering merchant ships, usually avoiding the real large caravans and royal fleets, otherwise the navies of the countries around the Sea of Lights would not be vegetarians.

"Can it cure ......?" Purner couldn't help but ask with a slight stammer.

"Enough! It's totally enough, it doesn't need that much at all, just a little! The mermaid girl replied happily.

There was a moment of silence for a moment, and then he looked up at Brando, "Human, really give this thing to us?" You know, we can't afford it! ”

"It's okay," Brando replied as if he didn't care, "Just like my previous one, I can take a stake in the part I can't pay." ”

How to invest in a war? He felt that this human being was becoming more and more mysterious, and he had never seen such a business before, but he thought for a moment and asked sternly, "So, may I ask what is the name of the gentleman?" ”

"Just call me Brando, because what I'm doing right now doesn't make it easier to give my last name public." Brando replied half-truthfully.

"I see, well, I am here once again, and I declare in the name of the Grey Ash clan that from this day onwards the merchant ships that sail on this sea, as long as they are under the banner of Your Excellency, will be under the protection of our Grey Naga, and any attack on these merchant ships will be regarded as a provocation to our Grey Naga, and we will respond with war."

As soon as these words came out, it was the turn of Captain James's face to change color, and it seemed that he repeated the previous words, but the meaning contained was completely different. This time, the promise of Removal Ner is obviously more formal and detailed, and if the other party is true, then it means that all the merchant ships under Brando's banner in the future will have almost no possibility of being plundered in the Shining Sea. And as long as the gray naga stores zài for one day, this rate will continue for one day.

As a person who begged for a living on the sea all year round, the young captain certainly understood the meaning of this, knowing that in addition to the large caravans and royal fleets, the chances of ordinary merchant ships being plundered on the glittering sea were as high as 5, and the merchants could face the situation of losing their money at any time. However, with this promise of Cancelnir, it was almost destined that Brando's merchant fleet would be able to rival the famous merchant groups of Ampessel in the future.

If Brando was interested in doing business, he gave Brando a deep look and added, "Not only that, but if your goods." If it is as good as it seems, then I promise you that as long as you do not do anything hostile to the ash nagar in the future, you will always be a friend of our people. ”

The implication is that if Brando had lied on Holy Water, the previous agreement would have been lost. After all, he still didn't believe that a strange human would promise such a great benefit for no reason, since the witch-sama's bottle of potion was worth half a sea of glitter, then the true value of this potion was worth half a sea of glitter, and he didn't believe that any human would be willing to give away such wealth.

However, after the experiment, he made a gesture to the other Naga, and then turned around and dived into the sea with the mermaid girl, leaving only a white wave on the surface of the sea.

The remaining Naga waited until the two of them disappeared completely before he said to Brando and the others, "Friends of humanity, Lord Tur has ordered us to escort you all for a ride. ”

Brando nodded, yes escort actually has the meaning of surveillance, but as long as the Removal of Ner's proof that the No. 1 holy water he gave is true, these Naga will really escort them to Ampesel. Naturally, he was not unhappy to get some guards for no reason, but compared to this, he had actually been observing Nyor's left shoulder before. He remembered that when he met the other party for the first time in the future, there was a terrible scar that he couldn't see now, presumably left in this war, Brando wanted to remind the other party, but after thinking about it, he gave up, after all, for every soldier, the experience of life and death is still very precious.

He looked back, the favor he sold was not small, and the friendship with Naga was concluded, which was an unexpected joy in this business. Thinking of this, Brando raised his head and saw that the sailors were spreading their sails, ready to set sail again, and Captain James stood aside and said with some envy: "Your Excellency Lord is really doing a good business
