Eventually, Talos was given a chance to go out temporarily.

Originally, after two consecutive defeats at Emma and Leonhard, Talos had lost hope for one last chance.

After all, Emma and Leonhard not only couldn't refute the two very different reasons they gave, but they almost convinced him - whether it was from an enemy hiding in the shadows or a second [gluttony] counterattack that he didn't know when.

However, it turns out that the phrase "don't give up until the last minute" does have its meaning, and Sandra nodded in agreement after listening to Talos's clumsy reasoning.

Although he realized only a minute later that this was only an opportunity to leave Evelyn, it was the first step towards a distant goal.

"Fifteen years ago I took in a group of druids in a private name and placed them in the Adriatic. Now, the time has come to accept the results, and I hope that the research of those druids will be worthy of the money that is allocated from my personal coffers. ”

"Druids, there are druids on the Adriatic Island?" Talos's focus was immediately drawn to the "Druids".

"Yes, druids, a bunch of ocean druids. Sandra looked at her son's face covered with surprise and added very meaningfully.

Talos vaguely felt that things might not be as simple as he thought.

Druids are a very old profession that is commonly found in elves, humans, and some orcs, and is very rare in the Naga kingdom.

The reason is very simple and very sensitive – faith.

Although many times druids are classified as spellcasters like mages and arcanists, in fact, druids have two sources of power, one of themselves and one of them as earth dragons.

Like Talos's friend Christopher, he is a traditional forest druid who believes in the natural harmony of the dragon of the earth and the tranquility of the forest.

Like all mages, the Druid's meditation space is opened by the professionals themselves, but there are two subsequent sources of spells, which can be learned through the Book of Druids and the spells written on it by the Druids, or by perceiving the nature represented by the Earth Dragon.

As a result, the spells used by the druids were divided into separate natural factions by the mages, and were also called nature gods by the clergy.

In view of the diversity of the landforms and geographical locations of the entire Sainz world, in addition to the most traditional forest druids, there are also swamp druids, desert druids and other branches, each with different areas of expertise.

As for the ocean druids mentioned by Sandra just now, they are a variant of the druids near the seashore who have developed a variant of the natural realm of the earth dragon and the marine realm of the water dragon in the process of communicating with the sea people.

They are proficient in water elemental and partially earth elemental spells, and can transform into turtles, sawtooth sharks, whales, and even the ferocious sea monster king squid.

Compared to mages who are generally not highly religious, and cast spells on their own, druids have devout beliefs and adhere to tradition;

Compared to priests and priests who serve the gods wholeheartedly, the druids do not actively promote the teachings of the earth dragons or other primordial gods, and the organization is more loose, and the few existing druid orders are not even as close as the mage alliance of the Naga Kingdom.

Druids should be a popular class in every sense of the word, but they aren't.

Druids flourished for a period in ancient antiquity and then quickly declined due to the rapid rise of the gods (specifically the six primordial gods).

The god of agriculture and harvest weakened the influence of the Earth Dragons in the human camp, and the Moon Goddess's choice of the elves as her family quickly caused the belief of the Earth Dragons in the elven community to decline.

And in the ocean, the successive gods of the Goddess of the Sea, the Lord of the Storm, and the Goddess of Illusions are destined to make the Naga or other Sea Clans who have made the druids of the sea a profession a marginalized group.

"As I recall, the Neptune's attitude towards the druids of the seas was not very kind. Recalling his knowledge of the druids of the seas, Talos cautiously reminded Sandra.

In the eyes of the Sea Fortress, the druids of the seas are more disgusting than the ungodly mages.

After all, the former already had a faith and belonged to the pagans, and it was not easy to convert at any time.

As for the mage, he is also the lamb of the goddess of the sea, and although he doesn't look very fat now, there is still the possibility of guiding and exhorting the cultivation.

"Yes, so I took them in. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to go to the Adriatic in my place. Sandra said casually, without any ups and downs in her tone.

Talos stared at Sandra for ten seconds, finally making sure that the Black Sea ruler wasn't joking, but had other considerations.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you think about the future of the Black Sea, Tar?"

"It will inevitably become more powerful and become the most prosperous area outside of Hasima, the capital of the Naga Kingdom. ”

To be precise, the Black Sea was already very prosperous, and after Sandra broke the duality and unified the Black Sea, it developed rapidly, becoming the center of the magic manufacturing industry of the Naga Kingdom in one fell swoop.

"There's no doubt about that. Sandra nodded, with a rare hint of pride in her tone, as if everything was meant to be, "In this world, any status, fame, glory, power, wealth—"

"We all need enough strength and heritage to support, individual strength and family glory are inseparable, you have been educating us like this. Talos straightened his back and said seriously.

Young Naga had a hunch that Sandra would tell him something very important today.

"Yes, after 27 years of development, the Black Sea has reached the extreme of what she is as the 'Black Sea'. If you want to continue to grow, you need to break the shackles and shackles at all levels, you know what I mean?"

Sandra's words fell on Talos's mind like a bolt of lightning, how could he be so stupid, he should have realized Sandra's intentions a long time ago.

Over the years, the Black Sea lords have taken various measures to carry out drastic reforms in the Black Sea, bringing all areas under their leadership and rule, and the degree of centralization has increased day by day, and more recently, even the most mobile adventurers and mercenaries have been targeted.

When the centralization of power reached a certain level, and the forces of all aspects of the entire Black Sea were twisted together, the title of "Black Sea Lord" was no longer suitable for Sandra.

She needs a louder, more politically important title to show her power and status, and a way to continue to rise!
