052, ring
Seven days later, Yvelyn Palace, Sandra study.
After returning to the Black Sea, Talos couldn't wait to give Sandra the two spatial rings he had obtained during this adventure, and the fourth-order archmage would unlock the secret locks on them.
"It has always been said that the first spatial ring that a professional obtains during an adventure should be the first to check what is inside, and it is said that this will bring good luck to the next adventure. Do you agree with that?"
Talos kept circling around Sandra as she used spells to unlock the arcane lock, praying that Juana and Jacob's sister and brother had enough secrets about the ancient Sadinian dynasty and Urban I in the space ring, and at the same time worried that Sandra would find the relevant items, so he had to gently remind the other party not to peek at the items in the space ring at the moment of unlocking the secret lock.
"It doesn't matter to a Naga who won't get a chance to have a second adventure anytime soon, right?" said Sandra, who hadn't left the Black Sea for a whole decade.
"Of course not. Talos subconsciously retorted.
"Tell me your plans, Tal. ”
Talos stopped spinning in circles, sat down beside Sandra in frustration, and said with a flattering smile, "I remember mentioning to you yesterday that I befriended a bishop of the Church of Goddess Fortune, Bill Osborne. ”
"Yes, I haven't forgotten what I made. Sandra raised her eyelids, glanced at her son, and complimented, "You've done a good job, and as a powerful helper for the success of his treasure hunt ritual, your name and strength will gradually spread as Bill returns to the mainland." Believe me, things will work out this way, and I know all too well what the clergy of the Church of Fortune are. ”
"But that's not a bad thing, let a third-order bishop of the Goddess of Fortune help you activate your bloodline and promote to a first-order endorsement during your adventure, no one can find fault. ”
"Hah!" Talos secretly flicked his tail twice to accept Sandra's compliment, the second time after dinner yesterday.
In fact, the real purpose of Naga's friendship with Bill was the gladiatorial arena located in the lower planes, and he didn't think of this stubble at all.
The news of the promotion of the young master of the Nepton family to the first rank has been officially announced by the Evelyn Palace this morning, because there is also a bishop who believes in the goddess of wealth in the middle, which makes the authenticity and credibility of the whole news even more unquestionable.
Although Talos didn't log into the Ring of the Nets to check the opinions and discussions of the rest of the Naga community, or what kind of storm was blowing in the Naga Kingdom, he was 100% sure that this matter would become a hot topic in a short period of time, as evidenced by the fact that the soul fire had just received faith from all directions.
He had only been promoted to the first rank not long ago, and he had taken several steps forward one after another under the impetus of the soul fire.
"We had an agreement that I would help him complete the treasure hunt, and in return, he would recommend me to a very safe place in the name of the bishop of the Goddess of Fortune. ”
"A gladiatorial arena in the lower planes. ”
"You know, yes, of course you do, I almost forgot that Alesha would report our adventures to the Evelyn on time every day. ”
"That's her job. Sandra handed her son the first spatial ring that had been unlocked from the arcane lock.
Talos hurriedly took it and immediately put the complaint behind him, and at the same time resisted the urge to check the items inside now, and tried to persuade: "Then you must know the magic of that gladiatorial arena, right? Generate projections, conduct fights, without any restrictions, even death will not cause damage to the body, it is simply a holy place for bloodline knights to sharpen their bloodlines between life and death." ”
Naga pointed to himself and expressed his yearning in a very sincere tone: "With the help of the gladiatorial arena, I can even make up for the time spent on the mage path in the past, and lay a solid foundation in the first-order bloodline knight stage!"
Of course, it is more important to take this opportunity to explore the lower planes and find the slim chance of spreading the faith.
It was probably the last reason of Talos that struck Sandra, and she thought briefly for two seconds before asking, "What about time?"
"17/11! I still have half a month to prepare...... Wait, you agreed?"
"If you don't like it, I can change it. ”
"No, no, no, I love the result, I like it very much. ”
As if he had been appreciated or rewarded as a child, Talos gave Sandra a big hug, then quickly changed the subject to avoid asking more details or changing her mind, although the latter was very unlikely.
"Father, I haven't seen him since the morning. ”
"Represent me to officially take over a maritime power. ”
"I ...... Not very clear. ”
"The Naga Kingdom and the United Kingdom are purging pirates active in the Central and Western Oceans, and Leo will secretly provide protection for one of the pirate forces and subdue them. ”
"That's human. Talos said weakly, thought for a moment, and added, "And it's a pirate." ”
Sandra continued to maintain the erosion of the arcane locks on the spatial ring by the protective faction spells, and said without any emotion, "I don't mind their race, identity, and origin, if they are willing to hand over 60% of their annual loot to the Black Sea. ”
"Naga?"
"Since it will be up to us Sea Clan to formulate the order of the pirate forces of the four seas in the future, they should at least learn the most basic rules, right?"
The implication is that the pirates that Leonhard subdued would not overdo it by robbing fleets belonging to the Black Sea (if they were sailing on the seas), but would target other forces and human ships more, and then hand over 60% of what they received to Sandra to accumulate wealth for the Black Sea.
Talos conceived about the situation and finally understood the idea of the United Emirate of Burundi sending soldiers to act as barbarian pirates in the central ocean, which was a trade with zero cost and no upper limit on the benefit.
The most important thing is that robbing humans with the power of humans will benefit the Naga, who lives at the bottom of the sea, and to be honest, this feeling is quite refreshing in Talos's opinion.
As for how to hide that the Black Sea is behind the scenes and conceal the relationship between the two, that is a matter for Sandra and the Evelyn palace higher-ups, and perhaps add Emma, who needs to be learned, and does not need Talos to know deeply.
Half a minute later, Talos took the second Ring of Space from Sandra's hand to unlock the arcane lock, and happily flicked his tail back to the room to study.
Naga sincerely hopes that the Space Seed and the Treasure Chest are not the only fruits of his adventure.
PS: The second one is late, it is recommended to watch it tomorrow.
