After the High Elves entered the ocean in ancient times, they evolved into the Naga clan over the years, and not only their names, but also their appearance have undergone a complete change.

For example, Fasqi and the fallen elf female assassin can hardly find the common denominator in appearance, and they are not even as similar to humans and elves. If it weren't for the historical record, probably no one would have associated the Naga with the elves.

Although the two sides look very different and have been separated for tens of thousands of years, there are still a small number of Naga people who have elven magic abilities, and these people are the inheritors of the elven queen Azhara and still maintain their belief in the moon god.

One of them is the leader of the Wave Tribe in front of her, wearing the iconic Elven Lunar Crown, indicating her status as an Elven Mage. However, the Naga no longer use the title of elven mage, but call them Naga Banshee!

At the same time, the Naga tribe also inherited a characteristic of the elf race, that is, unlike the common patrilineal society in the mainland, the Naga tribe still maintains a female society, basically the Naga leaders are women, after all, the elves have a distant history of tens of thousands of years, and they have experienced the early matriarchal society era of human beings, and this inheritance has been maintained.

"Lord Aya, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Duke said hello first, even if he showed a gentlemanly spirit to the lady, he also looked at Aya carefully, objectively speaking, the Naga are not ugly, at least a face is as beautiful as an elf, plus a bumpy figure, the upper body is almost perfect.

But once you add the skin color and snake tail, there is a very strange feeling, at least Duke's aesthetic is really not used to this.

"Lord Duke, it's also a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for your assistance to the Wave Tribe. ”

With a faint smile on her face, with a different kind of momentum and grace, Aya thanked Duke.

Seeing Aya's elegant and confident attitude, Duke really felt the etiquette and elegance represented by the legendary elven high-level.

"You're welcome, we're allies on the same front. Duke smiled back.

"Your Excellency Duke, I came here this time, in addition to expressing the importance I attach to the agreement, because I have determined one thing. That is the source of the equipment of the Wild Shark Tribe, which is provided by the Maple Leaf City of the French Empire, that is, your second brother Tok Lord, once the Wild Shark Tribe swallows up our Wave Tribe, it will attack the Storm Fortress. ”

"And according to the information he received, he knew of the nautical agreement between us, and signed a similar agreement with the Shark Tribe. With the support of the Duchy of Berry, the port and shipyard have been activated, and trade with the countries along the Sea of the Dead will soon begin. ”

After hearing Aya's words, the expression on Duke's face was not good, he had a vision of the future, so he knew the importance of the Age of Discovery. As a result, I didn't expect that after this guy learned of the agreement between himself and the Sea Clan, he actually used the power of the Principality of Berry to take the lead.

Putting aside the personal grievances with Teucer, with his keen sense of smell and long-term vision, Duke has to admit that he is indeed far-sighted! I have seen the strength and restraint of the genius big brother before, but I didn't expect Teucer to be simple, it seems that it is not for nothing that Duke became a well-known straw bale before, in front of these two brothers, Duke is really a waste!

At the same time, Teucer's move also surprised Duke a little, that is, the Holy See had ordered that the lords on the continent were not allowed to cooperate with the Sea Clan, because the Sea Clan was just like the human race that had not yet risen back then, in addition to the natural disadvantage of equipment, it was not weak in terms of numbers, magic, and strength.

In the face of a potential racial opponent, the defeat of the elves is still vivid, and the sea tribe generally believes in the elemental god, which is a typical pagan, whether it is for the future of the human race or the foundation of the Holy See's own rule, it is necessary to guard against the rise of the sea tribe.

Duke even changed the church, so naturally he didn't care about the ban of the Holy See, but he didn't expect that his second brother Teucer also had this courage, and Teucer's actions also made Duke change his previous judgment, he always thought that Teucer's goal was only the duke's position, thinking that there would be no competitors if he killed his brothers.

However, after learning about the Storm Fortress agreement from Teucer, the first thing he thought about was not to let the Shark Tribe attack Storm Fort, but to annex Aya's Wave Tribe to open up the Sea of Death, and to carry out the construction of ports and shipyards so efficiently. All show that killing his brother to inherit the dukedom is only a means for Teucer rather than an end goal, and he is more focused on future development.

The duke was already at the top of the medieval aristocratic title system, and in layman's terms, he was a supreme courtier. Reaching this position is generally desireless, as long as he inherits the title, but Teucer cares so much about development, and the importance is even greater than killing himself in the first place, which also exposes his ambition is not just a duke.

After Duke thought of this, a sympathetic sneer appeared on his face, it seems that the Otto family is not the only "anti-thief", and this second brother is also a big careerist. If this brother hadn't done it to himself, Duke would have really appreciated him in his heart

It's okay to be a careerist, just sorry, you've found the wrong opponent!

......

"Lord Aya, thank you for the reminder, I'll take note. ”

Faced with Duke's indifferent answer, Aya asked a little surprised: "You don't seem to be too worried." ”

"There's nothing to worry about, I have absolute confidence in Stormcastle's strength. ”

Duke really has nothing to worry about, but in addition to his own strength, he has another thing that is difficult to say. That is, if the Shark Tribe wants to attack Storm Castle, it must first destroy the Wave Tribe, anyway, with you as cannon fodder in front, what do I have to worry about?

Hearing Duke's words, Aiya did not compliment or refute, but just smiled gracefully and did not speak.

The conversation has reached this stage, and it is naturally time to discuss the specific agreement, the weapons and equipment provided by Duke this time, the amount of the Storm Armor alone is as high as 250,000 gold coins, plus the weapons, the total price given by these Storm Castles is 300,000 gold coins, even if it is placed on the mainland, this number cannot be regarded as a small amount.

However, considering that the Sea Clan really didn't have any money, and that he could also help Stormfort as cannon fodder, Duke promised that as long as the Wave Tribe could open up the coastal route of the Sea of Death, he would reduce the general equipment cost and use the rest of the seafood to offset the price.

Duke also made a point of making it clear that Stormfort buys as much seafood as it has, and if the cooperation is pleasant, Stormcastle can even consider supporting another batch of weapons and equipment, which is all wool from sheep anyway.
