Chapter 271: A New World Under the Sea

The mysterious underwater world is vast, with many races such as Naga, fishmen, lizardmen, snake people, etc., but unlike the land, it has been ruled by the powerful Naga people since tens of thousands of years ago.

As one of the female heirs of the Naga royal family, Tisiris was granted a vast area in the eastern part of the seabed, which is home to the Fortress of Ticilina, one of the five major fortresses of the Naga tribe, which actually means "Tisilis's residence" in the lingua franca of the Naga people. With 100,000 elite Naga troops stationed in the fortress all year round, and multiple large magical teleportation arrays that can be mobilized to support other nearby fortresses at any time, it can be said that this city is the core of Ticilis's rule.

In order to ensure absolute security, garrison fortresses like "Tixilina" naturally do not allow foreigners to enter and exit at will, which will restrict the commercial trade between them, so many years ago, a certain Naga empress ordered the construction of commercial transit stations on the periphery of each garrison fortress, and the transportation of materials in the underwater world. In order to avoid any misdeeds of other races, it is not allowed to have an army in such a commercial transit station, and the chambers of commerce can only hire free mercenaries to protect themselves, and how can that ordinary mercenary be the opponent of the elite of the Naga who have undergone strict training nearby? Therefore, the biggest profit of this kind of commercial transit station can only be the Naga themselves.

However, after tens of thousands of years of development, these original commercial transit stations have slowly developed into huge commercial cities due to the growth of trade, and the Naga garrison fortresses near them have not changed, as a result, over time, the creatures of the underwater world have become accustomed to these commercial cities as the center of the region, and regard the Naga fortresses and other ethnic gathering places as satellite cities of such commercial cities, which is also something that the far-sighted Naga Empress did not expect.

Of course, in addition to a little bit of false fame, the development of commercial cities is only good for the Naga people, because the Naga lords who rule here can rely on commercial taxes to obtain a large amount of taxes without leaving home, and they can also quickly raise enough resources through the chambers of commerce that travel to and from various places under the sea, so after the time of Ticilis, many Naga lords have been unable to bear the loneliness, leaving their own fortresses, and living in the nearby commercial cities.

Between large commercial cities and commercial cities, as long as the trade caravans come and go, it is natural that small commercial cities will slowly emerge in some places along the journey, and Sarofinin is one of them. This small city with a permanent population of only tens of thousands of people was originally only a dozen underwater caves, because the terrain near this is relatively flat, and there are no dangerous sea beasts and vicious submarine natives, so the trading caravans between the Naga capital and Ticilina often choose to rest in this place, so they slowly build a city on the basis of these underwater caves.

Located on the submarine plain, on the transportation hub of the eastern territory of the Naga Empire, Saluofin is rich in food, so passing caravans will rest here for a few days and replenish the food consumed, and then continue on the road, which is why the permanent population of the city is only tens of thousands, but the number of floating people in a year exceeds a million.

In order to reduce additional consumption, many large chambers of commerce simply bought a piece of land here in Sarofin to build houses and hoard food, so that when their caravans pass here, they no longer have to worry about trivial matters such as food and accommodation, so more than half of the area in this underwater city belongs to foreign population, and many houses are not uncommon even if they are uninhabited for months, anyway, with the protection of the magic enchantment, there is no need to worry about thieves sneaking into it, thus causing unnecessary losses.

In a nondescript corner of the Saluofin Chamber of Commerce area, there is a two-storey building that is completely different from the houses of the human world, it looks a bit like a large conch, and this style can be seen everywhere in the underwater world. It is said that this building originally belonged to a small and small chamber of commerce, but the chamber of commerce failed in a speculative business, and was later dissolved in the pursuit of countless creditors, and all the properties that belonged to it were disposed of, and the extremely dilapidated building here was not worth a few dollars, so it was thrown into this corner and let it slowly fall down.

If someone really sneaks into it, then you can only see the entire room here, all the furnishings and stored materials are the same as when it was sealed, but who knows that in the depths of the underground of this building, there is actually a secret room dozens of meters square, but the whole secret room is really completely closed, and there is no direct passage connection with the building above, if you don't use some special means, such as "teleportation" magic, etc., it is impossible to go back and forth between the upper and lower floors.

The secret room of tens of meters is not big, but it is not small to say that it is small, the ground of the entire secret room, the wall and even the stone wall above the head are all engraved with dense magic spells, these strange spells are so cumbersome and complicated, ordinary people will feel dizzy even if they only look at it, not to mention the specific role of identifying them.

Suddenly, the magic spell engraved in the secret room emitted a faint light, obviously someone activated the magic array here, and it didn't take long for the entire magic array to be completely activated and operational, and the underground secret room that had been silent for I don't know how many years was also filled with very strong magic fluctuations in a short period of time, but it was completely not spread out of the secret room under the protection of the outer magic enchantment, so everything that happened here was not noticed by any outsiders.

After the mana fluctuations that repeatedly stirred in the narrow space of the secret room reached an amazing intensity, a dazzling bright light filled the entire secret room in an instant, and six blurred figures also slowly appeared on the magic array in the center of the secret room in the strong light, and after a while, this sudden strong light began to slowly weaken, but the six blurred figures became clearer and clearer, and finally all the light disappeared from this secret room, and the entire space also returned to its original dim state, but six humanoid creatures with closed eyes appeared in the originally empty room。

Ryan closed his eyes tightly, forcibly endured the dizziness in his head, and slowly adjusted his breathing, even if he had legendary strength, but he didn't know that he was separated by more than 100,000 kilometers through the space magic array conveyor belt at once, and the fatigue caused by this spatial journey to his body and spirit still made him definitely a little tired.

After a few minutes, Ryan slowly recovered his state, he opened his eyes, and as far as he could see was the secret room that was tens of meters square just now, Ryan only looked at it a few times, and he roughly understood the effect of the magic spells engraved around the secret room, at this time Tixilis also opened her eyes, she coiled up the tail fin of her lower body and sat down on the ground, and then said to Ryan: "Very good, everything is going well, welcome to my world, Ryan." ”

"This is the underwater world, why don't you see the sea?" Faras regained her composure the third, and she asked in a curious tone, "Well, the air is quite humid, but the environment is ...... It's similar to the sea breeze castle. ”

"Underwater creatures do not necessarily have to live in seawater, in fact, strictly speaking, many of our seabed creatures belong to the amphibious type, even if they are away from the water source for a long time, they can survive, but there will be a strong sense of discomfort. Usually the place where we live will be separated from the sea outside by a magic barrier, because although our body is not afraid of being soaked in the sea for a long time, many things in the room are not, such as the large number of magic circles here. Perhaps because she had returned to her hometown, Tisilis was in a good mood, and after she finished explaining, she couldn't help but say: "Fani, don't talk about this, thank you very much for coming here to help me this time, and I have the opportunity for you to taste the specialties of our seabed, which are absolutely unimaginable on your land." "Well, I'm looking forward to being praised by the members of the Naga Imperial Family. "Faras doesn't mind Tesilis using her nickname, after all, now that everyone is on each other's territory and has become allies, it is necessary to have a good relationship with each other. The two of them passed the time chatting slowly, and it was not until Sophie and Sister Natasha were fully recovered that they turned their eyes to Ryan beside them, and at this time, Ryan had basically memorized the magic array settings of the entire secret room.

"Next, I will use teleportation magic to take everyone to the space above, in order to ensure the secrecy of this place, there was no direct passage to connect when it was originally designed. After a few words of explanation, Ticylis recited a large number of magic spells in a deep voice, and wrapped up six people, including Ryan, with a soft blue light, with her current strength, it was a little difficult to teleport with six people for a short distance, but it was still possible.

"It's a small and inconspicuous city, but it's the only way back to my territory, we'll walk around the mercenary guild in the city in a while, if we can find a place to go to my home, the mercenary mission near Tixilina is perfect, if not, it doesn't matter, there are countless caravans and mercenaries coming and going on these roads every day, so it shouldn't be a problem for us to keep a low profile." Ticilis explained as she led everyone to the door of the house, and finally she reminded: "Remember, from now on, try not to talk to outsiders, and talk to each other as much as possible in Naga, because this is the lingua franca of the underwater world, and it is the least likely to arouse suspicion." ”

Just as Tixielis and the others walked out of the conch-shaped house, the ground under their feet suddenly trembled violently, Ticilis hurriedly looked up at the sky, but saw a layer of blue magic enchantment trembling, that was originally a defense system used by the saroch fin to shield the erosion of the sea, but now it seems that it may collapse at any time because of the fierce attack, this scene in front of Ticilis surprised Ticilis, she shouted in a lost voice: "How is it possible, there is a war here?"
