015, shipwreck (2)

"With our tail armor on, we'll probably need a day's rest on this island. ”

Emma's familiar voice came from his ears, awakening Talos's not-so-sober spirit.

- Coming to land, the sudden disappearance of sea pressure left Talos's body still in a state of adjustment, and his brain was groggy.

"Oh...... Good. ”

Talos rose from the ground, his tail inevitably stained with many grains of sand, causing him to shake very unnaturally, and then took out a delicate pair of tail armor while checking his surroundings.

A total of thirty or so Naga had survived the shipwreck—fifteen Black Sea knights had lost two—men and women, helping each other with their wounds, mixed with a few muffled sobs, including the girls of the Mithriel family.

It is a veritable island, surrounded by rocks and a small sandy beach, dotted with a coconut palm or two, and in the middle of two small dirt slopes, with lush shrubs and the occasional birdsong.

If you don't consider the scene on the sea, it is a beautiful place to spend on a vacation.

The sea not far away, the situation is the same as the one described by the girl from the Mithriel family just now:

The magical submarine they were riding in was squeezed and twisted into a pile of scrap metal by an invisible force, broken into three, the surface of the sea dyed with flesh and blood the color of scarlet, and floated with stump arms and severed limbs.

A pod of corpse sharks lured by the smell of dead corpses and blood roamed around, gulping down flesh and making the occasional scalp-tingling chewing sound or two, turning the picturesque landscape into a shark beach horror movie.

Talos withdrew his gaze from the sea, trying to ignore the pungent smell of blood that lingered on his nose and replaced himself with a pair of tail armors—in effect, a thin piece of armor designed to fit his scales over the part of his tail that rubbed against the ground.

As a half-human, half-snake humanoid creature, the Naga only had clothes (tops) and no concept of pants in a long civilization.

Usually, Talos only wears a shirt that is too long in the eyes of humans, as long as the waist is slightly downward, the most primitive shaming function of the clothes is completed, and the slender and powerful tail is exposed, and some female Naga style will be a little more heroic, sometimes the upper body only has a pair of breastplates, which is very cool.

- Slightly down the waist, it is the vital organ of the Naga, which is usually hidden under a section of extraordinarily tight and fine scales, and when necessary, the scales will part, revealing the tools of the crime.

In fact, mermaids are the same, the vital organs of the two races are not exposed like humans, but hidden under scales.

This unique construction may have been designed to avoid accidental injury by dragging an organ that could easily attract the attention of fish while swimming in the ocean, or it was to not interfere with normal movement, Talos had irresponsibly guessed.

Once on land, Naga mages (especially Naga from large families or powerful multi-armed Naga) often make some changes, donning tail armor, or using the high-level spell "turn tail into legs" to turn a long snake tail into two legs, and walk upright on land like a human.

- Bloodline people generally do not make such changes, and when the bloodline is activated, their natural scales themselves are equivalent to a piece of leather armor.

It's a pity that the most powerful spellcaster of the few people present is only the bronze second-order, and there is still a level away from the high-level spell turning the tail into legs, so whether it is Emma, Quintu or Talos, they can only choose the most primitive means and put on a pair of tail armor for themselves to protect the mage's relatively "delicate" and accustomed to the marine environment The tail can walk freely on land, and Talos naturally has no chance to re-experience the feeling of walking on two legs.

After swimming twice in the rough ground, Talos was very satisfied with the custom-made tail armor, each of his scales fit perfectly with the tail armor, protecting the tail without affecting normal swimming, holding on to the ground tightly, and maintaining the balance of the land that is not very friendly to the Nagas.

"What the hell was going on?...... natural disaster or not," Talos asked curiously.

The Ocean Current Expressway has existed in the Sea Civilization for three centuries, with rich technology and experience, except for natural disasters such as tsunamis, the problems that can be overcome have long been solved, and it is the most common mode of transportation for the Sea Tribe's long-distance travel, which is very safe.

Coupled with the magical submarine that had been twisted into a strange shape, Talos ruled out the scourge option almost immediately.

However, Emma did not answer his question directly, touching Talos's head and talking about something else: "The family mages led by Chester will be here in an hour, and they will find out everything. ”

Emma's full name is Chaster Nepton, the husband of Talos's aunt Florence (that is, Sandra's sister), and his surname before marrying Florence was Heinrich, and like Quinto, he was born in the magic family Heinrich, representing the marriage of the two major magical families in the previous generation.

The difference is that Quintu is the eldest son of the patriarch of Heinrich's generation, while Chast's mother is only a family elder, which is related to the special background of the "patriarch" and "lord" infighting of the Nepton family at that time.

"Okay, I'll go up there and blow the sea breeze, the smell of blood here ......"

Since Emma didn't want to say anything, Talos didn't ask, and crawled to the top of the island, and four Black Sea knights immediately followed him, two in front with long swords, and two in the back, with a pair of bows and arrows on their backs.

Talos has no opinion on this, he is now a vulnerable group who does not even have the ability to protect himself, and it is the most vulnerable stage of his life that needs protection.

Instinctively, Talos dragged his long snake tail and made an "S" shape on the ground with a rustling sound, and soon climbed the hillside, taking in the situation around the island.

Sitting on a clean stone, his consciousness sank into the magic web ring, and the positioning function was invoked, and a map unfolded in Talos's mind, and the huge red dot represented the place he was at this time, Baffin Bay.

The name with bay means that it is a bay close to the land, and according to the map, on the other side of the coastline is the famous human kingdom, Saraphos, known as the Golden Empire.

"Show Personal Footprints...... Showing the Naga Kingdom Ocean Current traffic route...... Labeled distance ......"

"From the point of departure to the small island where I was, regardless of the three-dimensional space distance, the magic submarine moved nearly 700 yards, and was completely thrown out of the current height channel by that terrible force and thrown to the surface of the sea. ”

The Naga where Talos is located is called the Tidal Naga, also known as the Shallow Sea Naga, and together with the Deep Sea Naga, they form the Naga Kingdom, which generally lives in the depths of the ocean from about 700 yards to 1,000 yards, and the Ocean Current Highway is located at a depth of 200 yards - this is the best way to balance the "speed of the current" and the "safety of the current".

In other words, the shipwreck just now caused the magic submarine that Talos was riding to move 700 yards horizontally and at least 200 yards vertically.

"There are no other traces of natural disasters such as tsunamis around, so human attacks are the only answer, and at least a Bronze Third Order professional. Talos coiled his seven-foot-long snake tail and pondered, "First the sneak attack of two high-level mages of the United Kingdom, then the inexplicable attack of Ax, and now the shipwreck, in order to kill me, an ordinary person whose meditation space has been shattered?"

"Or is it just an accident this time, and the target is not me at all?"
