Chapter 135: The Burning Flames of War
"Take the initiative to transform into an undead, based on your current strength, Xius should be sure to transform you into a corpse witch."
"In this way, even if you have no possibility of breaking through now, you can still go to the path of the undead, continue to guard the Green Forest Clan, and also guard the Blue Castle."
Terrence's idea was simple.
Since there is no way to extend life and there is no potential for continued breakthroughs, it is better to meet "death".
It's not a big deal, it just so happens that after coming back this time, Terrence won't leave until he settles Naga and the surrounding matters, even with the two undead lords of Xiuth and Knight.
They still need some time to realize the harvest in their hands, whether it is ore, or equipment, or knowledge, experience, etc., these will take time.
Take this opportunity to ask some elderly dependents and elders in the territory who are about to die to make this suggestion, and ultimately see what their choice is.
Whether they choose to walk through this life quietly, leave this world, or become undead, and witness the future of Blue Castle in another form, it depends on their respective choices.
"Master Terrence....... Can you give me some time to think about it? ”
"Well, think about it, old Jill, and try to give me an answer before I leave."
With the time limit left, Terrence walked out of Old Jill's hut, the goblin elder who needed some time to think about it fully.
Then, Terrence visited the Blue Castle one after another, some of the elders of the race who were short in life and were nearing the end, such as the fish-man who was blind, the wild boar personality, etc., and it was too late after Terrence met them one by one.
Back at the Dragon's Nest, Terrence continued to look through the situation and policy releases in the Dragon's Nest, while jot down his thoughts, some policies, and so on on the other side.
In the middle of the night, Terrence woke up after a few moments of snoring.
He couldn't fall asleep after thinking about it, and then he went to his desk and looked at the dispute that had stirred him up, Naga.
During the departure of Terrence, Naga and the Blue Castle were spearheaded by the Three-Scale Fishman and launched thirty-five battles, large and small, in which many losses were won and few, and a lot of price was paid, which caused hundreds of Fishman soldiers to be killed and wounded!
This is the most casualty event in recent years, excluding the Sea Dragon Beast and the Mountain Giant!
Looking at the causes of each conflict, the involvement of personnel, the gains and losses, etc., Terrence marked these situations on the simulated sandbox of the situation around the Blue Castle that he made in his office.
After marking the last conflict, Terrence discovered a feature of these conflicts, most of which took place to the northwest of the Blue Castle and spread to the northwest, all of which were areas of high conflict.
This can show that the Naga came from this side, and it has also roughly become the dividing line that divides the current Naga and the Blue Castle Ocean Territory.
One of the areas of struggle is not a small area of conflict, which is the ambiguous area of the territory of the two sides, the conflict zone.
After understanding this, Terrence opened up the specific information about the Naga clan.
Naga is roughly divided into a human-faced snake body, a human-faced python body, and a human-faced python body, and the snake python is a general physical change in strength from weak to strong.
Based on the matrilineal social structure, the status of the male Naga is relatively low, and the origin of its race can be traced back to the existence of the High Elves, and then after a long period of time and evolution, the Naga has completely departed from the appearance of the elves, and the powerful Naga has become a marine nightmare that almost all sea crews are afraid of!
At this time, Naga has become the current fierce rival of the Blue Castle, and even these guys took the initiative to provoke disputes and skirmishes with the Blue Castle!
Queen Naga: Celevi Marcordy Lund, a powerful ocean overlord who has been at the peak of his strength for a long time!
As the king of the Naga clan, she is considered the Naga clan's most promising hope for hundreds of years to step into the legend!
This hope made her become the queen of Naga at the age of thirty-two, which is almost the youngest and most talented Naga in this sea!
The lifespan of the Naga family belongs to the middle-lived species that is more than the lower and less than the above. They don't have thousands of years of life like elves, and they don't have the longest life span of about a hundred years like fish people and humans, and the Naga who have a life span of more than three hundred years are a race in the ocean with systematic and complete knowledge inheritance and education, which is one of the reasons why they can eventually become a powerful sea race.
Systematic knowledge inheritance, as well as complete education, Terrence has taken a fancy to these two keywords, these things are now being implemented in the Blue Castle, and they are far more complex than Naga, and at the same time more effective!
Blue Castle's knowledge education is diverse, not a single deep-sea combat knowledge like Naga, which is based on the ethnic biodiversity of Blue Castle, so this has become one of the advantages of Blue Castle education.
Terrence looks at the overall situation, Naga provoked territorial disputes, not to fight for so many so-called sea areas, how can these sea areas that can be occupied by Naga be an excuse for Naga to provoke disputes?
Terrence concluded that there were secrets hidden in the Blue Castle, and that the controversy was intense.
Isn't the dense point more like a place that the Naga want to focus more on?
Terrence thought backwards about Naga's intentions, if the matter of the dispute, and the contradiction that provoked the dispute, were all smoke bombs and bait, then what was the Naga trying to hide?
Does this have anything to do with the actions of the Blue Castle in this area?
Terrence began to rummage in this direction for plans for the Blue Castle, or the development of the area.
As dawn approached, Terrence found a summary of the development of the area from a bunch of Blue Castle development plans:
The trench structure is suitable for the development of marine fish and sea vegetable farming......
Dividing this area into a farming area and a seafood area, it's no wonder Hogg would say that those guys are just starting a war to provoke the Blue Castle!
It's impossible for Naga to attack the Blue Castle family here for the sake of a few fish and sea vegetables!
Terrence planned to go here to check on the situation first, and the Blue Castle side did not have the ability to do too much investigation and record the situation in this conflict-prone area, because this place had already been occupied by the Naga clan.
Terrence acted quickly, and after putting down the information in his hand, he quietly left the dragon's lair alone, but unfortunately, Terrence met Knight who was wandering around at the port.
Then, Terrence took the wandering Knight into action.
"Terrence? Where are we going so early? ”
"I want to ask, Knight, haven't you slept all night?"
"Haha! Terrence, you forgot, as an undead, I don't need to sleep~"
"I mean, you're ...... in port"
"Well, Theseus saw a kid with the talent of a necromancer and asked me to find out where he lived."
"Blue Castle actually has this kind of seedling, please be sure to find out this and let Xius cultivate it!"
Terrence didn't expect Knight to be doing his business when he was wandering around!
To tell you the truth, I was still quite shocked.
"Well, actually, I haven't found it yet."
Listening to Terrence's words, Knight couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment.
"I didn't find it because ......"
"Xius only roughly perceived a direction and area during the daytime meditation, and I didn't see it after looking for a long time, maybe he left here and went somewhere else."
Knight explained, not attributing the lack of finding it to his own reasons.
"Well, I understand, did Hughes help convert some of my lifespans in my realm into undead?"
Terrence shifted gear, just in time to set off from the Dragon's Lair Harbor to reach the disputed area between the Blue Castle and Naga for a few hours, chatting about Terrence's thoughts yesterday to pass the time.
"The kind that has a sense of autonomy before death?"
"That's right, I want to preserve their pre-existing consciousness as much as possible."
Terrence was precise about what he wanted.
After listening, Knight suddenly realized.
"I can actually do that."
"Huh?"
Terrence was slightly surprised for a few seconds, and then Knight's words reversed a little bit.
"As long as I throw it into the shadow pool, the principle is the same, except that my chances of success are a little ugly."
Low success rate? Terrence reacted immediately, Knight is still unprofessional in this regard, and it is better to find Hughes.
"I'll talk to Husti about this, and he should find time to help you figure it out."
"But for the level of the undead, you don't have too much hope, because it has to do with the time of transformation, as well as its strength during his lifetime, we agreed to set off again after you finish solving the Naga and dealing with the affairs of their respective territories, leaving not much time for this busy man, don't expect Xius to spend too much time on this."
Knight's words sounded like advice, but they were a bit like telling Terrence in advance that it was okay to transform the undead, but not too much, otherwise it wouldn't be easy to do.
"The strength can be improved slowly, as long as you can complete the transformation of the undead first, and don't let them be troubled by death."
After transforming into undead, their strength depends on their own efforts, but for potion research like Old Jill who does not need strength and requires knowledge and craftsmanship, it is not a problem and has little impact, so there are not too many requirements in this regard.
"Give me the list then, and I'll take it with me."
"Well, thank you, I'll arrange it when the time comes."
Terrence and Knight chatted back and forth, and finally reached this sea.
Above a cloud layer, Terrence cast a hidden form of magic, and covered his body with a dense membrane of water-blocking magic to prevent the dragon scales from bringing different water fluctuations in the water when swimming.
The ocean is no more difficult than the land, and it is much more difficult to hide in the sea!
Even with Knight, Terrence also cast the same magic as himself, and since they had touched each other together, of course they couldn't ignore these points.
At the beginning of the morning, Terrence, who was shrouded in magical effects, plunged into the sea with Knight!
Terrence went downstream, carrying the pressure of the water while not forgetting to care about the "iron lump" Knight beside him, Knight's heavy armor didn't seem to be very convenient to move in the water.
Terrence raised his hand and applied a light spell to him, and within two hours Knight's body weight was greatly reduced, and his swimming speed and agility were obviously much stronger than before.
"Thank you~"
"You're welcome."
In this way, a dragon and an undead soon came to the bottom of the trench.
Along the way, Terrence saw a lot of Naga.
These Naga in this sea area are mainly male Naga, these fierce looking, human-faced and snake-faced male Naga holding a standard steel fork in their hands, wearing half-body armor to protect their chest and abdomen, can be described as well-equipped.
Almost 90 percent of the male Naga are guarding and standing guard in this area, and the remaining 10 percent are female Naga, and these female Naga have a much higher status than those who stand guard.
At least, from what Terrence saw, it was.
It is worth mentioning that Terrence understands the Naga language.
So while these Naga were standing guard, whispering and chatting with each other, their gossip reached Terrence's ears, and Terrence relayed it to the equally curious Knight next to him for the second time.
"Did you hear that? Because this area has fought dozens of times with the three-scaled fishman who took refuge in a five-colored dragon! ”
"How can it be one? I've heard several! ”
"It doesn't matter how many they have, the main thing is that I only learned today why the Naga elders had to stop the Blue Castle's actions on this side of the sea despite the outbreak of conflicts!"
"Oh? Why? ”
"It's so easy to want to know? I'm but"
The Naga guard stretched out his hand, and the other Naga was also very good, as skilled as a cigarette and a fire, he took the meat strip handed by the companion and took a bite of it, and then swallowed it, feeling in a good mood.
"Stupid, because of the treasure!"
The word treasure made some of the genetic memories in Terrence immediately increase his hearing!
"Isn't the Queen hailed by the elders as the genius with the best chance of breaking through to the Legend?"
"That's right! That ......."
Not far away, Terrence exerted a psychic physical and mental control on the curious Naga sentry!
The powerful spirit instantly allowed Terrence to easily control this Naga sentinel, whose strength was worthy of the beginner level.
"But what does that have to do with the treasure?"
Terrence asked, controlling the sentry.
"Of course it matters!"
"This is hopeful that our queen will have a better chance of breaking through to the legendary treasure!"
"Even if it's just to increase the possibilities, the elders dare to compete for territory with this emerging force controlled by the five-colored dragon, Blue Castle!"
Terrence somewhat understood that there should be a treasure in this area, and the treasure contained items that could enhance the possibility of Queen Naga breaking through to the legend, so these elders who resisted Naga had a territorial dispute with the Blue Castle in order to find the treasure buried here, and directly sent troops to stand guard and guard this side in the form of stationing!
However, when it comes to treasure hunting, the treasure hunt definitely requires some persistence, such as treasure maps!
As for the treasure map, Terrence seems to have one in his hand, Terrence recalls this, he remembers that this map seems to be a gift from the gray dwarves to him, I wonder if it has anything to do with the treasure here?
Terrence was going to have to take a closer look at it when he got back.
