087, Kendo Saint

The banquet held at the Evelyn Palace on the evening of the 21st was undoubtedly a feast of power, and worthy of the name, a well-informed four-armed Naga like High Priest Finrod could easily find representatives of the major forces and nobles of the Naga Kingdom.

From the Red Sea, the Dead Sea to the North Sea, from the bloodline family, the magic nobles to the Sea God Temple, at the banquet alone, there were no less than forty four-armed Naga whose strength had reached the fourth order, and at this moment they were gathering together in twos and threes to talk to each other.

As for the topic, will not leave the Grand Duke of the Black Sea, as well as her daughter, son, to be honest, there is nothing more appropriate than this.

The position of High Priest of the Black Sea Diocese seemed to outsiders to be prestigious and powerful, second only to several High Priests in the power center of the Seven Seas Grand Temple, the headquarters of the Sea Temple, but only he knew how much it took to get along with a powerful local lord, which was difficult enough before, and with the establishment of the Black Sea Principality, the pressure on his shoulders increased day by day.

In fact, from the day Sandra was promoted to a legendary mage, he was ready to gradually let go of other powers except for the clergy, but he didn't expect that day to come so soon.

With a light sigh, Finrod's gaze circled the hall before finally falling on Talos, the Knight of Blood, who had just received the title of prince and the title of Count of Gorgon.

Young Naga was entertaining his friends at this time, and in his opinion, it was a network of people that had been unconsciously weaved.

The big man from the human world was the first to be left behind by Finrod, whose status as a surface race meant that he could not stay at the bottom of the ocean for long, and the profession of the forest druid meant that he could not provide much assistance to the Black Sea Duchy or Talos.

- After all, the Druid Order has been in decline for many years, and the number of Sage Druids in the world will not exceed ten, less than one-third of the Council of the Nine Rings, let alone the Church of the Gods.

In contrast, the other human, the Bishop from the Church of Fortune, wears a magic item that provides underwater breathing, relieves sea pressure, and solves other problems of life in the depths, but it clearly represents more.

The goddess of wealth has never been a deity to be underestimated!

At any time in normal times, Finrod would not hesitate to devote part of his attention to the human bishops, exploring the possible cooperation between the Black Sea and the Church of Fortune, and it was no secret that Sandra and the new Cardinal Gaz were befriended, but in front of the two Naga from the Temple of Snow Mountain and Sand Mountain, he only took less than a second to shift his focus in another direction.

Naga in the Snowy Land, Naga in the Desert, and Talos are actually befriended by the two six-armed Naga daughters of the Ice Witch and the Chief of the Sand Mountains!

According to the news received by Finrod, or the Sea God Temple, there will be no other fifth-order professionals at this banquet.

This is normal, among the four six-armed Naga of the Naga Kingdom, Helga II is the Pope, the supreme agent of the goddess of the sea in the main physical plane - the successive queens of the Naga Kingdom need the Pope to be crowned in order to be justified, symbolizing the divine right of kings - there has never been a precedent for the Grand Duke of the Black Sea to personally visit the Grand Temple of the Seven Seas, and there is no precedent for the Pope to personally visit other six-armed Naga.

The Lord of the Waves and the Grand Duke of the Black Sea are both legendary mages, and it makes sense to send three permanent councilors of the Eternal Tides to compete with each other.

As for Benita, the land sunker, as the founder of the Tis Dynasty, it may not be easy for her to have a good impression of the Black Sea Gazette of "Splitting the Territory", and she only has less than 100 years left to live, so naturally she will not attend.

Despite this, the royal family of Tis was still sincere, and the eldest daughter of the new Queen Vanessa II, the new Duke of Hopps, who came to the banquet on behalf of the royal family, and the eldest princess Anna, who had adventured with Talos on the Black Dragon Island.

Now, even Finrod was shocked by Talos's connections, he never knew that the four-armed Naga's connections were so vast, spanning two continents!

Although he lived at the bottom of the sea all year round, it did not mean that Finrod knew nothing about the snowy naga in the Antarctic Snow Mountains of Iceland and the desert naga in the sand mountains of the Southern Andes, which according to the sea temple texts, were clearly blessed by the dragons of water and the dragons of the earth.

Sometimes, some things don't need to be too straightforward, especially for the aristocratic who likes to be subtle.

In Finrod's eyes, Talos is friendly with Dolores and Mular, and rounding it up is that the Grand Duke of the Black Sea has a lot of personal friends with the Ice Witch and the Six-armed Naga of the Sand Mountain Chieftain - he would never believe that they came purely for Talos - and even the Black Sea intends to formally establish friendly diplomatic relations with the Snow Mountain Temple and Sand Mountain.

The Naga race has a strange worship and yearning for the six arms, and Finrod is no exception, even if there are some historical legacy problems in the kingdom, the Snow Mountain Temple, and the Sand Mountain.

As a result, the pressure on Finrod's shoulders weighed a little more out of thin air, and the supreme leaders from the Snow Naga and the Desert Naga, and the little energy that they had left to torture him together, didn't even notice that Mannie, another high priest from the Seven Seas Grand Temple, swam to his side.

"Do you guess that the Black Sea Grand Guild will not use Talos to marry, and which family will it marry in the end?"

"What?"

Finrod was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mannie's line of sight only to find that the person he was talking to was Maximilian of the Schneider family, another Visible Bloodliner.

Originally, the marriage with the Neptune family was the Heinrich family of the Red Sea, the previous generation was in exile when Sandra was young because of the power struggle within the Black Sea, and under the operation of the previous patriarch of Nepton, Michael Niech, Florence Nepton and Chester Heinrich completed the marriage of the lord line, the former is a side branch of the latter, and this generation is Emma Nepton and Quintu Heinrich, both of whom are members of the line.

Considering the profession of the knight of the Talos bloodline, of course, the Schneider family, which also has the blood of the Immortal Whale, has the advantage, although the two families of the Black Sea and the Banda Sea did not have much intersection before Leonhard became Mr. Lord.

Mannie disagreed, shaking her head, "I heard that our Majesty is optimistic about Talos as the next Prince of Hasima. ”

Prince Hasima, the traditional title of the royal husband of the Naga Kingdom.

"Princess Anna?"

At the same time that his tail curled unnaturally, Finrod quickly found the eldest princess of the kingdom in the hall, who was smiling and talking to Emma, and next to him was Kuntu, the eldest son of the Heinrich family, who only looked at Talos every once in a while, and his attitude was very ...... Intimate nature.

This discovery made Mannie more and more sure of what she had just said: "Look, what a gentle and lingering look, I won't be surprised if they fall in love the next second." ”

"The Schneider family will surprise you. Finrod retorted angrily, "Yuriye is looking forward to the two Dominant Bloodline Men working together to create a new family glory. ”

The Dominant Bloodline represents at least one Great Knight, or even an Epic Knight!

As long as one of them is promoted to the fifth rank, Banda Sea will definitely become another powerful independent territory after the Black Sea.

"You also said it was Yuriye, she couldn't influence the will of a six-armed Naga, even-" Mannie paused deliberately to make it easier for her colleagues to grasp the point, "Both!"

Finrod's eyes widened, and it took nearly three seconds to react to Mannie's subtext.

Yes, Benita, the land sunk, is coming to an end, and for the sake of the inheritance of the Teis royal family, many methods that are usually disdainful have begun to become feasible, such as marriage.

If the eldest princess of the kingdom and the prince of the kingdom get married, the relationship between the two families of Tis and Nepton will undoubtedly be much closer—this is the most basic and primitive function of marriage—and not only that, but the daughter of Talos and Princess Anna will inevitably ascend to the throne in the future.

In this way, even if the land sink returns to the Coral Sea after a hundred years, the Tis royal family is facing a crisis, and in order for his daughter to become queen, Talos will definitely ask Sandra for help.

As a mother, it is impossible for the Grand Duke of the Black Sea to turn a blind eye.

What's more, the profession of a legendary mage is destined for the Grand Duke to be the end of Sandra, but the king can be the starting point for her granddaughter.

It has always been the nature of intelligent beings to pin their hopes on their children and grandchildren, and a family can strive for a goal for three or four generations, and similar examples abound.

After figuring out the twists and turns behind the marriage, Finrod thought that this was the most unexpected thing of the night, but only ten minutes later, something even more amazing happened.

Four glamorous and cheerful priests make a surprise visit to the Palace of Yvelyn and, in the name of Bishop Annistora, present Talos and the Grand Duke of the Black Sea.

Of course, anyone with a little discerning can see that the real target of the Pleasure Bishop is the handsome and brilliant Earl of Gorgon, compared to the six-armed Naga, the protagonist of tonight's banquet.

Pleaful priests, how did Talos have a relationship with them again, although they don't want to admit it, but the divided Church of Love is still much stronger than the Temple of Poseidon.

Seriously, Talos never thought that Annistora, who had only seen her two faces, would send someone to come and make it known to everyone, as if something had really happened between him and the bishop.

Naga was a little unhappy with Annistora's gift, and a little bit of surprise to her master, though faint, but still caught by a keen sense.

What surprised Talos even more than the snickering was that he found that this feeling was actually very good, until-

"Annistora, Bishop of Pleasure?" Maximilian snorted, looking at Talos, his eyes and body language revealing a sense of distress, "one in the ocean, the other on the surface, countless predecessors have used their blood and tears to warn us that Naga and humanity will not be happy. ”

Then he whispered, "And I've heard that their private lives—no denigration in advance—are a bit chaotic, and not something you can easily manage, unless you can endure a relationship as chaotic as the family tree of the Schulz family." ”

"You know what I mean, right?" said Maximilian and smacked Talos on the shoulder, "Trust me, Tár, the girl from the Schneider family is the best choice. ”

The female knight, named Olivia and surnamed Schneider, nodded solemnly.

Talos pressed his forehead with a headache and decided to treat it coldly, ignoring Maximilian's shouting, but after receiving Dolores' teasing gaze, he finally couldn't hold back, and lifted his tail and whipped him.

"Hey, brother, no matter how angry you are, you can't beat your cousin. Maximilian protested with a grin.

"Marcos!" Talos threatened, lowering his voice, "for the ocean's ...... For the sake of the goddess, I don't want to lose my grace in front of the guests, but ...... I would probably make a promise to my grandmother that if Marcos was married, I would consider it. How likely are you to keep my promise in the future?"

Olivia's eyes suddenly burst into an astonishing light, and if it weren't for the fear that her next move would damage her image in Maximilicus' peace, she would have applauded Talos's idea, with four palms.

"That's too much—"

"If you insist. ”

Maximilian raised his two middle arms in surrender, and his right lower arm made a movement to zip his mouth, finally quieting down.

Talos doesn't like polite greetings at banquets and parties, cumbersome social etiquette and witty words, compared to chatting with people through a layer of magic nets, but it is also an indisputable fact that major families and forces often release signals, expand contacts, maintain friendships, and reach preliminary agreements or cooperation on similar occasions.

Fortunately, dealing with other guests is more about receiving a formal heir education Emma, and Talos is very clear about his position at the banquet, and the mascot, this time is no exception.

After Sandra and Leonhard officially appeared, Talos followed Sandra and Emma as a prince to meet the great knights, archmages, and high priests from all seas one by one, some had seen before, and some were for the first time, and what he saw with his eyes and heard with his ears was inseparable from compliments and praises.

Miraculously, when faced with a series of colorful, differently colored, thick and slender snake tails and a pair of slender and feminine, or strong and powerful arms, Naga found that there was no trace of turmoil in his heart, and even an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

It's hard to say whether the moment was the discovery itself or the thought of "it really was" in his brain subconsciously shocked Talos more, the only thing that is certain is that habit is indeed a terrible thing, from the body to the consciousness, he identifies himself as a Naga, and even the fear of snakes, soft bodies, and tentacle creatures left over from his previous life has quietly disappeared.

When did the change begin?

Activate the bloodline of the ancient whale, like to spend your free time in the table world petting the three-eyed octopus, or grow a second pair of arms?

Talos wasn't impressed.

"It's enviable, your life is complete, I'm afraid there are no other regrets. ”

Now talking to Sandra is Eugenie, the headmaster of the Deep Sea Knight Academy, a typical Deep Sea Naga with a large body with a brown and gray ring-like tail that is 18 feet long and ends in a flattened shape that is very different from that of the Tidal Naga.

- Previously, at the behest of Eugenie, the director of the admissions office of the Deep Sea Knight Academy had repeatedly invited Talos, and because of this, he was now a graduate of Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (dropped out of school) and a graduate of the Deep Sea Knight Academy (simply nominal), and unknowingly completed another historical record.

Talos nodded in agreement, strength, career, family, Sandra is a successful person in every aspect, and the talent of the heir Emma is also obvious to all, and she can be better than the family expects in the future.

It's just that the thought of the soul fire that may be exposed in the future and the double encirclement and suppression from the gods and evil gods spurted out of Naga's heart, and he really didn't want to watch his family being dragged into the abyss because of his relationship.

Unaware of the fact that Talos's mind had diverged into another dimension, Eugénie continued to seize this hard-won opportunity to communicate with Sandra.

"As you mentioned, promotion often requires a bit of luck—"

Eugenie sighed imperceptibly, she was no longer young, 150+ years old was almost three times that of Sandra, and she had been stranded in the fourth-order level for nearly a hundred years, and the goddess of the sea knew how much she longed for the realm of a kendo saint.

Although she is recognized as the most promising swordsman in the kingdom to be promoted to the Sword Saint, before taking the last step, everyone knows that she is not qualified to be compared with the six-armed Naga, just like the number 99, which is the closest to 100, but the difference of 1 personally interprets what the difference is.

The two talked about promotion, and after a minute, Emma was surprised to find that Talos was still there, he used to be long gone, not to mention, Talos had his own small group tonight, and it was not a commendable thing to neglect his friends who had come from afar.

Years of knowledge of her brother's personality and habits quickly dispelled her doubts, and Emma was pretty sure that Talos was wandering, and it was a completely subconscious action.

So when Talos was awakened by a sudden wave from the whirlpool of guilt and uneasiness, he had absolutely no idea what was really going on.

There are indeed many waves and turbulent undercurrents at the bottom of the sea, but this is the Evelyn Palace, which is guarded by many spells, spells, and magic circles, and he stands next to a legendary mage.

"We are witnessing the birth of a kendo saint!" Emma said.

It was only at this time that Talos realized that Eugenie, who was talking to Sandra, was the source of the wave just now, and saw Naga of the deep sea with her eyes closed, and the sea water centered on her, mixed with a huge coercion, was constantly surging in all directions.

The sudden situation managed to raise the voice of the banquet by two octaves, drawing the attention of all the guests, and it took less than five seconds for the discussion and exclamation to completely overshadow the musical instrument in the hand of the bard.

Eugenie, who is recognized as the most promising to be promoted to the Sword Master, Sandra, who is standing on the sidelines thoughtfully, far beyond the ordinary fourth-order coercion, and the huge waves......

The well-informed professionals quickly guessed something, surprised by Eugenie's sudden promotion—the Great Sword Master had not immediately transformed into a six-armed Naga, otherwise he would not have been promoted in public, which was very unsafe, and it was very likely that he would have fallen short due to outside interference—and was thrilled and honored to witness the birth of a kendo saint with his own eyes.

The goddess of the sea is above, and if Eugenie succeeds in promotion, it will be another six-armed Naga!

To be honest, the opportunity to witness the birth of a six-armed Naga is extremely rare and will be an essential topic of conversation for a long time to come, and it is quite normal for a lifetime.

"Look carefully. ”

A familiar voice came from beside him, it was Leonhard.

A few seconds earlier, Sandra had placed three protective spells beside Eugenie to create a safe environment for the Naga of the Deep Sea while isolating the overly strong sense of threat and oppression for the other guests, thanks to which Talos and Emma were almost still in place, swimming less than ten feet backwards to observe the birth of a fifth-order bloodline up close.

As Mr. Grand Duke and a Grand Knight, Leonhard naturally left behind the guests who were a little stunned by Eugenie's promotion for the first time, and did not forget to remind Talos, who is also a blood knight, to concentrate.

"Now is the most critical time, Eugenie is using her will to control the bloodline that transforms and sublimates and becomes very violent and wild, as long as the bloodline is purified under the guidance and control of the will, it is the fifth order. ”

Considering Eugenie's status as a swordsman, her profession after being promoted to the fifth rank was called Sword Saint, or Sword Master for short.

And with the blessing of the multi-armed race of Naga, it is also known as the six-armed sword master, a terrifying profession that has developed swordsmanship and multi-weapon combat to the extreme.

Whoa—

The sea water rolled violently around the deep sea naga, as if an inexplicable substance evaporated from the body of the great sword master and intertwined into a huge jellyfish.

It has an umbrella with a radius of more than 25 feet, a dark blue color, almost integrated with the sea, looming, and thousands of slender and slender tentacles grow on the edges of the umbrella, and the tentacles end in stingers that shimmer with a faint ghostly light.

The ghost stinger jellyfish, a very ancient bloodline in the center of the ocean.

Sometimes Talos wonders how the world of Sainz gave birth to such a large number and variety of bloodlines, such as the ancient whales, the North Sea Monsters, the two-tailed mermaids, and the horse-headed fish-tailed monsters that swim in the sea, the ancient clouded leopards, skeleton monitor lizards, sacred unicorns, and the three-headed golden lion that run on the ground, and the five-colored dragons, air elemental lords, Pegasius, and thunderbirds that fly in the sky......

He couldn't figure it out.

However, this would obviously not be a good time to explore the source of the bloodline, and after about seven minutes, the tumbling wave reached a high tide.
