This Naga named Talos is a good Naga, may our Lord bless him.

When receiving three glasses of water, a few slices of bread, a serving of jerky, and an apple from a Black Sea knight, Richard gobbled it up and gave Talos a five-star review in the bottom of his heart.

For the next half day, Richard did not see Talos again, so he had to stay in the room alone and rest under the implicit warning gaze of the Black Sea Knight.

He had wanted to borrow a blank Ring of the Magic Web from the Black Sea Knights to report to his uncle about the defection of the crew - the Ring was unique and unusable by non-owners - but failed shamefully.

It's not that the Black Sea Knight refuses his petty request, but the female knight's rhetorical question finally makes him realize the fundamental problem - he doesn't know Naga.

The Ring of the Magic Net, which is reserved by the Knights of the Black Sea and is the default and only language of Naga, is probably different from the stone in his hand in that the former can at least be placed on the index finger as a decoration.

As night fell, Richard was given permission to leave the room for a walk on the deck.

With the help of the moonlight and the magic lamps on the sailboat, the Bloodline Knight finally saw the pattern on the silver sail.

It was the face of a woman with snake hair, and below it were two wands with poisonous snakes intertwined with each other.

"Black Sea Lord, this is the symbol of the Black Sea Lord!"

Richard recognized this pattern as belonging to the Black Sea Lord of the Naga Kingdom, an archmage who was famous in the Golden Empire, the Rhine Kingdom and other human kingdoms.

"To be precise, the family crest of the Neptune family does not only represent the Black Sea Lords. ”

Behind him, there was the characteristic slight rustle of the scales of the Naga python's body rubbing against the deck, and Richard turned around, and sure enough, he saw the young male Naga again, Talos.

He had two scimitars hanging from his waist that he hadn't had before, and he was covered in sweat, and he looked like he had just completed an intense martial arts workout.

- The sound of weapons colliding that he heard while resting in his room in the afternoon was probably from the battle between him and the female knight.

"What's your last name?" Richard became more respectful of Talos.

"Obviously, Nepton. ”

To be honest, Talos was still quite interested in Sandra's reputation in the human kingdom, so he added a question: "How well-known are the Black Sea Lords among the human community?"

Thanks to some of the aristocratic education that he received by his uncle when he was a child, Richard learned the skill of "as long as there is a topic, it will not be cold".

Sensing the curiosity in Talos's tone, he immediately gushed about the young Naga to Sandra, who was seen by the human community.

"Due to the very different types of civilizations and living environments, human beings do not communicate with Naga very frequently, and for a long time they are limited to the magic web, the Council of the Nine Rings, and a small number of transactions that only exist in the caster group. ”

"The sea separates not only the form of civilization, but also the connection between the sea people and the life on land, which I often think is the fundamental reason why the Naga Kingdom and the Mermaid and Fish-Man United Kingdom are relatively conservative in their foreign relations and trade. ”

Talos agrees with this, for the Naga, mermaids, fishmen and other sea tribes who live at the bottom of the sea, what happens on land really has little to do with them.

Even if there are daily wars and plagues on land, it will not affect life under the sea.

So, what the connection is, what the communication is, that doesn't matter at all.

Even today, when the magic network exchange is prevalent, this kind of isolationism is still very marketable in the Naga Kingdom.

Of course, Mermaids and Fish-People are the same in the United Kingdom.

Later, the merchants of the Golden Empire learned that the Black Sea Lord of the Naga Kingdom had opened one of her land domains to the outside world, allowing the tribes to trade on the Adriatic Island. ”

"Ordinary people can't imagine the meaning of the existence of Adriatic Island at all, she has set up a realistic trade channel between the sea civilization and the land civilization that cannot be replaced by the magic net, not only for mages, bloodline knights and other professions, but also for all ordinary merchants who may not have any strength themselves!"

"In the Golden Empire, Adriatic was known to merchants as the iridescent pearl set in the central ocean. Archbishop Gaiz of the Grand Temple of Turin even proposed to award the Black Sea Lord a Order of Turin of the first degree, as she effectively facilitated the commercial trade between the Naga Kingdom and the continental states. ”

"The Grand Temple of Turin?Goddess of Fortune?"

The goddess of wealth is in charge of the two priesthoods of [Commerce and Trade] and [Fortune], and is the same medium divine power as the goddess of the sea, and her holy emblem is a handful of golden fleece, which is very rich, so Talos remembers it very clearly.

The personal account on the magic web, which is very similar to the online banking function in the previous life, is the handiwork of this goddess of wealth, extending the concept of currency from simple copper, silver and gold coins to the virtual realm.

"Exactly, it's the goddess of wealth!"

Richard's Parker family started out in business in the early years, and later became a bloodline knight family due to an accident, so there are two beliefs in the family at the same time, the god of order and knighthood, and the goddess of wealth.

"The Order of Turin of the 1st Class is the highest rank awarded by the Church of Fortune to non-ecclesiastical personnel, representing the contribution and achievements of the Church and even the Goddess herself to her in the field of commerce and trade, and was last awarded sixty years ago. ”

Talos suddenly understood Sandra's thoughts:

Born in the oldest magical family in the Naga Kingdom, he competed with his aunt for power as an adult, first reclaiming the lord and then the patriarch, and he was an archmage who was proficient in the water element and spell factions.

Not only that, but he has an extraordinary reputation in the human kingdom, and he was almost awarded the Order of Turin by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth.

The husband is a great knight, the heir has just become a member of the multi-armed Naga, and the "worst" son has also activated the bloodline to become a bloodline knight.

On every level, her life is complete.

In other words, her current status and power are starting to drag down her ambitions and ambitions, and she needs to pursue them at a higher level.

"By the way, can I know where this ship is going?" the rather satisfied look on Talos' face made Richard seize a chance.

"You just mentioned the iridescent pearl, Adriatic. ”

"Great!"

If it weren't for the piercing gaze of the knight named Alesha beside Talos, Richard would have wanted to show his gratitude by giving a warm hug to the young Naga, who had a small shop on the Adriatic Island.

However, Richard's excitement and joy did not last long, for by the light of the moon, the Bloodline Knight saw a series of mountains silently crashing towards the sailing ship not far away.

Of course, there will be no rolling mountains on the endless central ocean, which is the rolling waves.

"Enemy attack!"
