152. The origin of the desert naga

For the first time, Talos wished so strongly that he could be promoted to the third rank as soon as possible and grow a second pair of arms, if not for anything else, but to be able to wear two more spatial rings on his fingers.

As the son of the Lord of the Black Sea and one of the heirs of the Nepton family, Talos is not only a nobleman, but also a high-profile nobleman.

So in a way, he had to abide by some of the default rules of the aristocracy, and not to do less aristocratic things in public—similar to what scholars used to call insulting.

One of them is not to wear all kinds of rings on your fingers like an upstart, especially the spatial ring, which will definitely be laughed at.

Therefore, at present, Talos only has a total of three rings in his hand, one in his left hand and two in his right hand, which are the Magic Net Ring, the Space Ring, and the Talisman Ring that Sandra recently handed over to him, which seals the third-order spell Frost Aegis of the Water Elemental faction, which can be activated once a day.

- Dolores is different, she has already grown a second pair of arms when her strength has reached the third order, and she can wear more spatial rings or arcane rings, even the strictest aristocratic etiquette teachers can't find fault with this.

Three, a just right number for the magical aristocracy, neither makes the fingers empty because they are not decorated, nor does it look fancy and cumbersome because there are too many rings.

As for wearing more talisman rings to improve one's defense and protect safety, since he is a nobleman, he naturally has other options.

For example, enchanted magic jewelry, necklaces, earrings, forehead ornaments, and even nose rings......

For example, the most common magic armor, mage robes, enchanted belts, magic hats......

Aristocrats, especially magical aristocrats, never need to limit their gaze and choice to the ring.

Growing up with this kind of education, Talos didn't have much thought about it, after all, his spatial ring capacity was of the highest quality, except for weapons, leather armor, other daily necessities such as a change of clothes, and spell scrolls and other necessities for going out on adventures, the remaining space was enough to hold three adult saber-toothed tigers!

What's more, he also has a whole watch world as a backing, so he doesn't have to worry about the lack of space capacity at all, until one day he discovers that it is really the corpse of the saber-toothed tiger that needs to be loaded into the spatial ring, and the number of saber-toothed tigers that the titan giants slaughtered in Andis Mountain is far beyond his imagination.

Due to the presence of the Naga Witch, Talos is unable to directly open the watch world.

So after the three saber-toothed tiger carcasses filled the only spatial ring, Talos forced himself to look away from the saber-toothed tiger - there was nothing more maddening than facing a mountain of gold and not having the pockets to carry the gold away.

"It's a good thing you brought a few extra Space Rings, otherwise it would have been a terrible feeling!"

In the evening, when the two stopped at a lake to rest, Talos thanked Dolores again very sincerely.

When Talos encountered the biggest difficulty of this trip, Dolores handed him two spare rings, otherwise Talos would not have been able to take the eight saber-toothed tiger corpses behind him anyway.

Dolores didn't speak, but spread a magical tablecloth of Bata on the grass, on which a sumptuous dinner appeared, including two of Talos's favorite dishes, which were full of aroma.

After doing this, the Naga witch picked up a piece of bread and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's all what I should do, and I can see that you like it very much...... Well, saber-toothed tigers. ”

"In a sense, yes, indeed. ”

It's a pity that those saber-toothed tigers don't have much resistance when facing an adult Titan's attack, otherwise Talos would have been able to sneak behind him to mend the leaks and refine a few souls by the way.

Talos felt that talking about corpses over dinner was a bit annoying, so he quickly changed the subject in another direction: "We will be able to enter the desert area in about three days, but then again, how well do you know about Sand Mountain?"

The Snowy Naga and the Desert Naga in the Four Naga are both tribes that believe in the six primordial gods, and their styles are relatively conservative, among which the conservative atmosphere of the Desert Naga is more serious.

"Before leaving, I went through the library in the Snow Mountain Temple, beliefs, customs, history, class...... I've also taught myself two dialects of the Naga of the Desert, and, of course, the origins—"

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?" Talos said, bringing the veal chops to his mouth, which were just cooked to the ground, "Origin?"

What is the origin of the desert naga, isn't it all born with the birth of the world?

According to creationism, everything in the world was created by the Creator.

Hearing Talos's question, Dolores showed an expression in front of him for the first time that could probably be defined as sadness: "Sure enough, this history is already difficult to find in the Naga Kingdom. ”

"Perhaps, if I mean you don't mind, you can tell me about it. Talos didn't know how to comfort him, so he tried to explain.

Well, Talos admits that there is a hint of curiosity in the explanation, but it's really only incidental, and only a little.

"Don't care, I'm just a little emotional. Dolores gathered her emotions, "It's a very old and distant history. ”

"How old?" Talos couldn't help but ask.

"You've probably heard of Sanki's statement. ”

"Of course, I used to be a mage. Talos salvaged the knowledge about the Three Ages in his brain, "In chronological order, the Three Ages from ancient times to the present are the Underworld, the Archean and the Phanerozoic, and we are currently in the Fourth Age, the Pantheon. ”

"It happened at the end of the Phanerozoic. ”

"Oh!" Talos nodded, "that's really an ancient piece of history, you've piqued my curiosity, go on." ”

"Each of the three ages has its own master, the first era of the ancient world was born with all beings, the major intelligent creatures survived on the earth, and the six primordial gods took care of the nascent world. The Archean period was the era of the combined domination of the Titans and the Dragons, with the twelve main gods of the Titan and the dragon gods of good and evil ruling the earth. ”

Talos had a hunch that he would definitely hear a piece of happiness tonight, because it was the first time he had heard the words of the twelve main gods of the Titan god system and the dragon god of good and evil dragon gods, and just a plate of appetizers greatly satisfied his curiosity, not to mention a full meal!

"In the Epiphysic, the Titans and Dragons fell for some unknown reason, and the modern gods began to rise, mages explored the mysteries of magic, established ancient arcane empires, invented magical networks, and even began to challenge the majesty of the gods and challenge the gods. ”

Talos continued to listen as he destroyed the food in his hand, knowing the outcome of the ancient Arcane Empire, the disintegration and extinction.

But then again, the Spider Cult originated during the ancient Arcane Empire, the Aphonoid, and it is unknown when the Illuminati originated.

"At the same time, in the depths of the ocean, which the terrestrial races don't pay much attention to, the Deep Sea Naga Empire is undergoing a great transformation. ”

The Naga Empire of the Deep Sea is a deep sea kingdom from the same period as the ancient Arcane Empire, and Talos has seen sporadic accounts in ancient books before, and it has perished a long time ago.

Vaguely, Talos felt that what Dolores was going to say next had something to do with the goddess of the sea, the intuition of a male Naga.

Sure enough, the word goddess of the sea soon appeared in Dolores' mouth.

"The Goddess of the Sea was born, no one knows how she obtained the [Ocean] priesthood, in short, she was born, stealing the glory of the Water Dragon!"

"Her shrine and followers soon became a very large force in the Naga Empire of the Deep Sea, and supported the founding of the Epic Knight, the six-armed Naga Phalans Caroling, who became independent from the Naga Empire of the Deep Sea and became a nation that worships only the goddess of the sea......"

The name Frans Carolingian is no stranger to Talos, she is the founder of the Carolingian dynasty, the first dynasty of the Naga kingdom, which can be traced back to history.

After the Carolingian Dynasty, the Naga Kingdom went through more than 30 dynasties such as the Clovis Dynasty, the Salian Dynasty, and the Capetian Dynasty, and it is the Tis Dynasty that now rules the Naga Kingdom, and the founder is Benita the Land Sunker.

The war lasted intermittently for nearly a hundred years, and in the end, the Sea Temple was victorious, but not all Nagas compromised and succumbed to the Sea Temple, changing their faith in the Water Dragon, and at least two of them resolutely rejected the Sea Temple's request. ”

"So the first Pope Madeleine and Queen Frans inflicted the harshest punishment on the two Naga tribes, and they exiled one of the Tidal Naga to the icy Antarctic Iceland—"

"Oh my God!" Talos exclaimed, looking at Dolores and unable to believe the thought that had just crossed his head, "I guess that's the Snowy Naga?"

The Naga Witch nodded and admitted, "Yes, but to be exact, the ancestors of the Snowy Naga. Under the expulsion of the Templars, the Tidal Naga, who had been stripped of weapons and magic items, numbered nearly 200,000, had to move forward in the snow and ice. By the time the Templars left, only half of them had left. ”

"With no warm clothing, no food to keep them fed, no weapons to fight the beasts, they had nothing but to die in despair, praying to the water dragon and begging for help. Time passed, and the water dragon finally answered the prayers of the people, and under the influence of faith, Naga's body began to evolve and mutate. ”

"In order to adapt to the climate of Antarctic Iceland, they have become less afraid of the cold, in order to be able to crawl freely on the smooth ice, the scales on their tails and abdomen have become rough, and in order to resist danger, they can draw strength from the wind and snow. ”

Since then, the Tidal Naga, who was jointly exiled by the Sea Temple and the Naga Kingdom, disappeared, and the Snow Naga was born in Antarctic Iceland. ”

They traveled all the way south to the South Pole, where they built a temple on the iceberg and worshipped the water dragon of ice and snow and the frozen side of all things. ”

As Dolores narrates, Talos feels that his worldview has been reconstructed, and it turns out that the Naga of the Snowy Regions are the anomalous Naga of the Epizoic who are unwilling to convert to the goddess of the sea, and are not a race that naturally exists with the birth of the world.

After a long time, Talos came back to his senses and asked, "So the desert naga are another Naga exiled by the Sea Temple and Frans?"

"Yes, they were originally a branch of the Naga of the Deep Sea, banished to the desert, and suffered more terrible tortures than the Naga of the Snowy Land. ”

It is undeniable that it is indeed a more cruel punishment, and the Nagas of the Deep Sea cannot come to the surface of the sea until their strength reaches the second order of bronze, and in the process, their bodies will suffer great trauma due to the change in sea pressure, and stepping on land is basically equivalent to death.

Moreover, compared to the tidal naga, the deep-sea naga are very dependent on water, and even if the exile can successfully leave the sea and set foot on land, it will be difficult for the exile to survive the hot and arid desert, which is equivalent to putting a fish on a stone slab and exposing it to the sun until it dies of dehydration.

This is the majesty of the gods in the world of gods, since they do not convert their faith and cannot be persuaded spiritually, they will destroy their physical bodies, and before they die, they will have to suffer the most terrible torture and punishment for the Naga of the deep sea.

"They had the help of another Highness. Talos affirmed.

Because as far as he knows, the current Desert Naga believe in another god, the Dragon of the Earth, and the most powerful desert druid in the world is a Desert Naga.

"Yes, the earth and the desert are not the realm of our Lord. Some of the deep-sea nagas insisted on their faith and were eventually buried in the yellow sand and became a pile of dry bones, while some deep-sea nagas finally chose to change their faith after confessing to the water dragon, transferred their faith to the earth dragon, and vowed revenge on the Naga kingdom, gradually becoming the desert naga today. ”

Historically, there have been several wars between the Naga and the Naga kingdoms, especially in the central ocean near the Southern Andes.

"Thank you, Dolores, for letting me know about an unknown past and a good fortune, and seeing the truth and the truth. ”

Talos could probably guess the reason why the Temple of the Sea and the Carolingian dynasty of the Naga Kingdom erased this history, and their banishment of the two Nagas was meant to be punishment, but the result was clearly beyond their control.

In fact, I am afraid that even the goddess of the sea did not expect that the water dragon, who had always cared little about the believers and allowed other gods to rob them of their faith, would respond to the prayers of the Tidal Naga at a critical moment and transform them into a new Naga race, while another Earth Dragon, who is also a primordial god, would accept the faith of a group of deep sea Naga and protect them from their tenacious survival in the desert.

At this moment, Talos understood very well the spirit of exploration and research advocated by the ancient Arcane Empire and the Council of the Nine Rings, and this world hides secrets beyond imagination.

But it doesn't matter, he has a soul fire, and he will definitely achieve great achievements beyond ordinary people's imagination in the future, and no secrets in the world can be hidden in his eyes.
