The enchantment that enveloped me and Ellie, propelled by a little magic that powered us, swam in through the sunlit opening. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After entering this huge circular cavern, the feeling of overflowing light disappeared in an instant, and the light in the cave was as soft as early in the morning.

The first thing that caught Elle's and my eyes was the huge spherical space, the beams of sunlight shining from the roof of the cave, and a huge sea serpent.

The massive body was as thick as a submarine, entrenched in the center of the cavern, almost covering the bottom of the cavern, and its hovering body was like a pyramid.

The huge head sits firmly on top, with sharp edges and corners like a boulder.

The scale-like lattices on the snakeskin's skin looked exceptionally clear, exuding a dense and solid sheen, as if it could not be destroyed by a cannon.

The snakes coiled in circles are mainly pale gray, and every other section is dotted with white crack-like patterns.

Compared to the colorful caves around it, the color on its body is too bland.

However, if the snake were to be hidden at the bottom of the sea, it would be so integrated with the surrounding sand that no one would be able to detect its existence.

Mutter.

I swallowed unconsciously, and the creature in front of me broke through my perception of intelligent beings, making me instinctively afraid.

Wow -

It was as if the giant creature sensed my movements and opened its eyes suddenly.

Because its head is on its side, we can only see one of its eyes, which are all crystal orange like jewels, and the black pupils that stand in the center of the eyes like a crescent moon make people shudder.

Whoosh~

The crimson snake hyacinth sprang out of its mouth and retracted in an instant, as if it had suddenly spewed a mouthful of flames.

Then the gaze that emanated from that eye was firmly locked on Ellie's body.

"Princess Ellie Heranna"

Strangely, I didn't hear anything, but the translation spell was already working, and it seemed that the language of this huge sea serpent was out of the reach of the human ear.

"It's an honor to meet you, Sasari Lenuland, the Queen's ......"

At this point, Elle suddenly became suspicious, because the little one could not determine the sex of the sea serpent......

The Siren King lifted his head slightly, then nodded slightly, as if he knew how to use the body language that other sapient beings commonly used.

“...... Her Majesty the Queen."

Elle finished her halfway greeting.

'How do you know she's the Queen?'

'Hum ~ Instinct ~ '

The little one boasted to me in his heart, after all, the princess had visited many cities, and her experience was not comparable to mine.

"Then I wonder why the princess of the Dawn Mountains is at the bottom of our remote sea"

With that, the huge sea snake tilted its eyes slightly, and seemed to glare at the octopus hiding behind us.

"Good...... I know what you're here for."

The serpent's gaze was focused on Ellie's body again, but this time her gaze was not as sharp as before, and she seemed to know what was wrong.

"Indeed, it was I who asked Bazas to support Sluka's operation"

I even confessed it!

The sea serpent admitted without changing her face, but even if she did, I couldn't see it.

"And then what do you want, Princess Ellieherana?"

It's as if she's playing a game and losing a bet, as if she doesn't understand at all that such behavior often means war.

"You ......"

I was about to speak, but suddenly I sensed what Ellie was thinking, and I closed my mouth tightly.

"What I want is allies, and if I can't get it, at worst, I will go back with peace"

The sea serpent's eyes widened slightly, and then she lifted her head slightly, as if she didn't expect Elle to make such a request.

Yes, I was trying to make the serpent aware of the seriousness of her decision, but Ellie didn't want to.

She didn't feel the need to dwell on this, she wanted to win over these fish people even more.

This is the usual diplomatic tactic used by Her Royal Highness Princess Ellie.

That's why the Dawn Mountains have become more and more peaceful over the centuries - Ellie prefers to maintain peace and even partnership relationships with other races.

It is precisely because Ellie is good at this that the Dawn Council prefers to send Princess Ellie as an envoy rather than sending Mespil.

"Indeed......"

The sea snake seems to be thinking, could it be that she approves of Ellie's idea?

“...... Indeed, the magic in you is as great as the fire of heaven and fire, as they have heard."

Poof, so this sea snake is more concerned about this?

"It's a great honor to be an ally of the Dawn Mountains"

It's really wallgrass.

Sure enough, as Bazas said, they Kraken are very good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder.

"But only by honor"

The words that come out of the sea serpent's mouth sound uncomfortable.

She seems to have her own calculations.

"With all due respect, your scorched earth spirit is very powerful, but without the help of the Skyfire Elf, you can't use the strongest magic - scorched earth"

Surprise!

Ellie's and I's hearts suddenly trembled, as if we had stepped on the air and fell a little, and there was no bottom.

It's true that Ellie's scorched earth elves have this weakness, but I always thought that only Ellie and I knew about it, and at most Liu Xiao and Mespier.

This sea snake actually knew such a secret, and it was definitely not from the vegetable market.

Fear......

'That eye!'

Ellie reacted.

From the eyes of the King of the Kraken, this huge sea serpent, a faint magic is emanating, and it is too rare to be noticed at the first time.

That thing seems to be scanning us, allowing her to accurately judge our strengths and even our weaknesses?

It's like an apex predator that has survived for thousands of years, just one glance at the grassland to know which sheep will be today's dinner.

How it escapes, how long it gets tired after, when it makes a mistake in judgment and reveals a flaw, how it struggles after being bitten by its teeth in the throat, all of which are known to this sea serpent.

There must have been some kind of magic in her eyes, and it was very powerful.

"And if you can't use the full strength of the Scorched Earth Elf, you are no match for Sluka"

The sea snake shook its head slightly, as if it was moving its muscles and bones, and as if it was preparing to attack.

"For the dragon, the Dawn Mountains are not a mortal threat, he is only afraid of Mespil"

"Moreover, it is not Maespier himself who is afraid, but the heavenly fire in his hand, the sword of flames."

The Kraken King's words showed that she was very sure of this.

Wait, how could she be so sure?

"Have you already met Sluka?"

I strongly doubted this, so I asked, and I regretted it.

Because the huge jewel-like orange eyes were staring at me at once.

The moment my eyes focused, it was as if I was bound by a magical power, and I couldn't move.

This is...... The intimidating power emanating from an incomparably powerful predator......

It's like when a person encounters a lion while walking, he is so frightened that he doesn't even dare to run away.

"Indeed, I've already met Sluka, right here"

The Siren King admitted, and it seemed that she had nothing to hide from it.

After all, they have already admitted to assassinating us on Sruka's orders, so what is the point of admitting to having seen Sluka.

"You've examined that dragon with the same magic, haven't you?"

It occurred to me that I was reacting to this.

The sea snake nodded slightly.

It turns out that this is the case, and it is precisely because he has already understood Sluka's strength that he will make such a judgment.

She truly understands that we elves alone can't fight that dragon.

As Bazas said, these guys who see the wind and rudder the rudder...... Think you can't beat Sluka, and immediately succumb to the power of the dragon?
