In the Black Sea, when it comes to the tallness, grandeur and beauty of the building, 99 out of 100 nagaris will give the same answer, the Lord's House, which is a beautiful palace.

The official name of the Lord's House is the Palace of the Evelines, named after the first Black Sea lords, and has four floors, with the main palace running east-west and connected to the south and north palaces at both ends, forming a symmetrical geometric pattern.

The Evelyn Palace is dominated by emerald green, pine green and silver – a favourite colour of the Naga – with intricate motifs such as multi-armed nagas, snake pillars and lotus flowers, as well as coral and pearl accents, and the 300,000-square-foot floor area alone is spectacular.

Among them, the main palace of the Evelyn Palace is the place where the Black Sea Lord handles official business, holds meetings, summons officials, receives guests, and holds banquets, the South Palace is mostly the suite where Talos and others live, and the North Palace is the library and the private magic laboratory of the Black Sea Lord.

Sandra's private study is located on the third floor of the North Palace, and Talos, who has just finished a hearty breakfast (for four, of course), is on his way to the study, where a family meeting awaits him.

Talos stretched his arms, his seven-foot-long slender tail flicking through the water, propelling his master forward at a rapid pace.

Thanks to all the racial talents of the Tidal Naga and the Deep Sea Naga, he can swim in the water much faster than any swimmer in his previous life.

Behind him, followed by a full twelve well-equipped Black Sea Knights, they were the bodyguards that Sandra carefully selected and sent to take charge of his personal safety after Talos lay down in the True Moth Repair Cabin in the North Palace yesterday for a comprehensive physical examination, and each of them was nearly a third-order strength.

Like many of his kind, Talos was not in the habit of taking the stairs, and directly used the sea water to float himself to the height of the third floor, and then flicked his tail, pushed the door open, and entered the study, where Sandra and Emma were already waiting for him.

- Father Leonhard is still in the Banda Heschneider family and has not returned.

Sandra, who had been promoted to the fourth rank of bronze many years ago and obtained the title of "archmage", had long dark blonde hair, the Neptune family's signature gray-blue pupils made her look extremely alienated and indifferent, and the dual power of "patriarch" and "lord" made her feel unreachable.

In fact, it does.

Sandra and Emma get along not so much as mother and daughter, but like superiors and subordinates, full of instructions and orders.

Only when facing the son of Talos will Sandra's expression be a little softened, but that's all, the special experience of her youth makes Sandra extremely bad at expressing emotions.

- Lord of the Black Sea, patriarch of the Nepton family, Sandra has an enviable and awe-inspiring dual identity, but in the previous generation and beyond, the two identities are separate.

The patriarch represents the power of the Naga clan, and the lord represents the power of the Black Sea, and although the Naga who eventually sat in both positions are surnamed Nepton, they are completely different in nature.

The patriarch and the lord, divided Nepton into two factions, checking and balancing each other.

Due to some accident, Sandra's mother, the previous generation of Black Sea lords, died, and in the face of power struggle, the young Sandra had to go into exile.

It wasn't until seventeen years later that the 31-year-old Sandra returned to the Black Sea with the great knight Leonhard to regain the real power of the lord from the patriarch's line, and then spent another ten years excluding dissidents, ascending to the patriarch's throne with iron and blood, breaking many years of tradition and shackles, and becoming the first Black Sea lord to combine the power of "lord" and "patriarch".

Just like now, the words of comfort Sandra had been said for a rare time yesterday, so after Talos sat down, he went straight to the point: "Two high-level mermaid mages attacked on the battlefield, Strasbourg medical department healer's assistant attacked, and Strasbourg-Nuranfin magic submarine was shipwrecked......"

In a way, it's not wrong that Emma is a younger version of Sandra, both in terms of behavior and thinking.

When the two of them were in the groove, there was nothing more to do with Talos, and his main job was to sit there obediently and listen attentively, adding a word if necessary.

"According to the information obtained from Jean, the two mermaid mages who attacked Tal are named Lydia and Morgana, and they are free mages from the United Kingdom, the former specializing in the necromantic faction and the latter specializing in the psychic faction. ”

"Necromancy?"

"Yes. ”

"Then let's make Lydia a heretic of the Spider Sect. ”

"I see. Emma said seriously, looking at her expression, it seemed that even the follow-up plan had been made.

I understand, too, Talos thought in a trance.

Both necromancy and psychic are one of many magical factions.

Everything develops, and magic is no exception.

At Sainz, the development of magic went through roughly three stages.

Originally, in a very ancient and distant era, magic was roughly divided into six factions according to its attributes, the four elements of earth, water, air, and fire, and the two major energies of light and darkness, corresponding to the six origins of Sainz.

Then, during the ancient Arcane Empire, magic flourished and reached an unprecedented peak, with breathtaking masterpieces such as the Magic Web and the Floating City being the products of that era.

The Arcanists of the Ancient Arcane Empire redivided magic, and the four elements were combined into one, named the Elemental Faction, and in some places the Shaping Faction.

The two energies also have new names, Positive Energy Spell and Negative Energy Spell, and of course there are other more famous names, White Magic (Medical Purification) and Black Magic (Cursed Destruction).

In addition to the three major factions, the Arcanists are divided into four factions: Prophecy (divination, prophecy and gathering information), Protection (defense using magical energy), Illusion (using magic to deceive the senses and create illusions), and Spells (summoning and other magic that is not part of the above factions).

In modern times, the Council of the Nine Rings of Sainz – an international magical organization modeled after the Council of Legends, the supreme power organization of the ancient Arcane Empire, of which Eternal Tides of the Naga Kingdom is a member – has separated the necromantic faction from the dark arts, adding a psychic faction, an enchantment faction, and a spatial faction, making the magic system even more complete.

The independence of the Necronomicon faction is the result of years of calls from all sides.

As we all know, the division of magic factions is only to build a complete system of magic systems according to attributes, uses, and purposes, without any emotional color, until the emergence of the Spider Sect.

The Spider Sect originated in the ancient Arcane Empire, and its members are all well-known black mages who are good at black magic, especially the manipulation and research of necromancy in black magic.

They believed that immortality was not the preserve of the gods, that mortals (especially all intelligent beings who did not become gods) could also be immortal, that everything decayed, and that death was eternal.

They fanatically preach the eternal meaning of death, worship "death itself" madly, and become pathologically obsessed with the practice of death-related spells......

If that's all they do, they're seen at best as an outlier among mages.

When the first undead, skeleton soldiers, and zombies crawled out of the cemetery, they caused extreme resentment and criticism from the major churches, which was a blasphemy against the dead.

And the moment the ghost was born, the Spider Sect completely pushed itself to the opposite side of the gods.

The material of the ghost is the soul, and the soul, apart from the kingdom of God and the wall of the unbelievers, should not have a third "home".

It can be said that the Spider Sect contributed to the demise of the ancient Arcane Empire.

In the years following the fall of the ancient Arcane Empire, the Black Mage was implicated by the Spider Sect.

Because of "playing with the soul", he suffered from the hatred and hatred of the spider sect by the major races of Sainz, and because he "led to the destruction of the ancient arcane empire", he was suppressed and hostile by other magic factions, and once declined to the extreme.

For this reason, the Dark Mages had to lobby everywhere to try to separate the most loyal spells of the Spider Sect from the Dark Magic, which is now the Necromantic Faction.

Once Lydia is labeled as a Spider Cult and associated with the notorious Spider Cult, she will be in a rather bad situation, and she may even be subject to the dual investigation of the Storm Temple and the Temple of Illusions under the pressure of public opinion.

- The Lord of the Storm and the Goddess of Illusions are two gods of the United Kingdom's faith, the former is medium and holds the two priesthoods of Storm and Lightning, while the latter is weak and holds the two priesthoods of Illusion and Mist, both enemies of the Goddess of the Sea.

The Spider Sect is like the horror of modern society, and it is a character that everyone shouts at no matter where it is.

PS：

1. The prototype of the Palace of Yvelines is the Palace of Falsailles, France, named after the department of Evelines, where the Palace of Versailles is located.

2. You may have found that the spell factions originating from DND, such as plastic energy, enchantment, and spells, have been modified beyond recognition, and there are big differences from the original, which is subject to the explanation in this book.

3. The martial arts specialty was changed to a combat specialty later, and I feel that my change is a bit like "classmates, the test paper is wrong, please change Li Lei in the second question to Han Meimei", but I still want to know.

4. Thank you for the aesthetic reward ^_^ of the ink moon and the magic sun
