……

However, without waiting for Matthew's answer.

The little leader's eyes suddenly lit up:

"I remember you, the little story you told me last time impressed me!"

"But this time the situation is different, in order to celebrate Queen Zina's unification of the Aru Inland Sea, the great Naga kingdom is powerful, we don't allow any humans to roam the Naga territory casually."

"A little white face like yours is very suitable to bring back to become one of the candidates for the prince, this is your honor, come with me obediently!"

The tone of the Naga minor leader was unmistakable.

Matthew frowned.

The Nagas are becoming more and more domineering.

He had heard that Queen Naga was going to choose a prince before, and he guessed that the Naga would rob if they couldn't find the prince.

It's just that I didn't expect to grab my head!

Don't think you'll have a good life as a prince.

Naga's habits are cruel and murderous, they are extremely conservative and xenophobic, even if they are really favored by Queen Naga, they will only be in the limelight for a few months at most.

Wait until the freshness period is over.

After leaving a sufficient amount of genetic material.

The plundered humans will soon be abandoned, and their fate will not be much different from that of the prisoners in the Endless Sea Dungeon.

Naga is such a cold-blooded animal.

Matthew, of course, won't bother with their nonsense.

"I was just passing through here......"

He tried to explain a little.

However, the little leader of Naga didn't give him a chance to explain at all:

"Someone!"

"Tie me up with this little white face!"

The forty or so young Naga who followed behind him suddenly rushed forward.

Matthew shouted:

"Get out!"

"Celebrity Realm: Shouts Out"!

That moment.

The little leader of Naga was suddenly forced back by the invisible coercion for more than ten meters.

Followed by.

An even more terrifying majesty emanated from Matthew.

"Dragon Slayer Realm: Above the Dragon"!

The spiritual shock that surpassed Long Wei instantly overwhelmed the will of all the Naga present.

One by one, they lay on the surface of the sea and could not move, their eyes widened, and all the scales contracted violently, as if small animals had encountered natural enemies.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead."

Matthew shook his head, the last time he encountered the Naga Minor Leader, he was only a second-order mage, and he was naturally cautious in doing things, and he hadn't had time to recover the money that was taken away by the Naga Minor Boss;

But this is not the same as it used to be.

Matthew is now a fourth-order top mage, and he can go one step further at any time.

In the face of these blind guys.

He also behaved more calmly in his mentality.

"Forget it, just give them a little punishment."

Matthew didn't want to kill them all at first.

But just as he was thinking.

A strong impulse surged from the necromantic pact.

The emotion was so familiar.

Matthew reacted almost immediately:

"Bing?"

Followed by.

A brand new quest panel appeared in front of him.

What's more interesting.

This time, the mission panel is written in yellow on a white background.

It's different than ever.

……

"Hint: You activated the Companion Quest - Blade Dancer's Advancement.

Blade Dancer's Progression: Revenge, Revenge, Revenge!

As one of the most powerful races of the sea, the Naga often harass the fringe islands of the Sea Kingdoms.

They would plunder males, kill females and human babies, and many villages on the island would be destroyed by the Naga invasion.

During his lifetime, Ah Bing lived in the Southern Islands, a maritime nation.

He's the same as any other knife dancer.

Originally just an ordinary seaside dancer.

But the Naga invasion took their loved ones and destroyed their homes.

Eventually, these dancers were forced to pick up the knife and begin to take revenge on the Naga, which is the origin of the profession of knife dancer.

Today.

The Knife Dancer's Elite Advancement theme is still revenge.

As long as the Naga of the sea is not killed.

The flame of vengeance inherited by the Knife Dancer will burn!

Requirements: Kill 1000 Naga or Naga Queens!

Rewards: Lots of XP (Soldier Only) / Reputation of the Sea Nation (Human) / 10 Enhancement Opportunities (Soldier Only)"

……

It turns out that the background of the profession of a knife dancer is like this.

The original seaside dancers took up knives to fight against the cruel sea races.

It's no wonder that the last time we met, Ah Bing couldn't wait to kill this group of Naga!

Seeing that Ah Bing was full of revenge.

Matthew didn't choose to stop it this time.

He chanted a quick incantation, pulling the soldier over with the Necromancy Summon.

At this time.

The Nagas had recovered from the shock above the dragon.

They looked at Matthew with some trepidation.

Even the rampant little boss had become submissive at this point.

Matthew glanced at them coldly.

The Nagas subconsciously stepped out of the way.

The next second.

Matthew opened any door and came to the sea 80 meters away.

The Nagas breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

"Why does this person look so scary?"

"He seems to be a mage or a warlock? Shall we go back and report to the centurion? ”

"Of course! Well, I'll find a way to hold him back, and you can go back and report the news......"

With the blessing of language proficiency and super perception.

The Nagas discussion was brought to Matthew's ears by the sea breeze.

However, he didn't care.

Just chanted the mantra that Chen gave him quickly.

Because while the Naga were whispering their discussions, a ghostly figure appeared behind them.

Shadow Field, Launch!

"Knife Dancer: Colorful Dance!"

Illusory shadows appeared in the Naga group, as the twin blades symbolizing death began to slash at the waves of snow and white light.

The Nagas were only then aware of the danger coming.

It's a pity that it's too late.

More and more white light flashed on the surface of the sea.

The killing technique called the Funeral Dance is vividly displayed in the hands of Ah Bing, who has no feelings.

Everywhere the twin knives go.

The head and tail of the snake rolled to the ground.

Gradually.

The waves are no longer cloudy.

The smell of blood and the smell of the sea are mixed together, weaving a death knell of death.

The other side.

Matthew didn't pay attention to the battlefield where the soldiers were at all.

This group of Naga has been frightened by themselves, and their combat strength is less than half of their usual strength.

Ah Bing is now an elite character who has been tempered for thousands of years, and his strength has gradually grown to level 16, even in the army of ten thousand, he can come and go freely, not to mention that the killing skills mastered by the sword dancer were originally aimed at Naga.

So he just gave an extra order to Ah Bing to "remember to pick up money after killing".

Then I focused on what I was doing.

A moment later.

The incantation is chanted.

The sea breeze gradually became noisy, and above the sea under Matthew's feet, two unusually tall peaks suddenly went out!

Matthew controls the magic carpet to fly higher.

I was shocked to find that the sea peak was actually a huge humanoid chest lying on the surface of the sea.

And look up along your neck.

It was a huge, delicate woman's face.

……

"Hint: You have encountered the Sea Lady (LV20/Lord)"

……

When Mrs. Nahai saw Matthew, she immediately smiled softly:

"Come to my mouth."

said.

She slowly opened her mouth, and it was pitch black with faint magical runes flickering.

Matthew hesitated slightly, but flew in with the magic carpet.

The moment he entered the mouth of Lady Hymer.

Matthew only felt like the world was spinning.

A strong sense of frustration and pushing his back stimulated his nerves, and he felt as if he was being picked up and thrown around, as if he was doing a never-ending bus that started and stopped.

Bang la la blah!

The sound of endless water rushing into your ears.

Matthew felt his body get wet, and then it evaporated to dryness in an instant.

After a full 10 seconds.

The uncomfortable feeling slowly subsided.

He felt his feet on solid ground, and he opened his eyes and looked around.

The place where he was at the moment appeared to be a hexagonal building made of glass or crystal.

Because it is a fully transparent material.

So you can see the view beyond the building at a glance:

The pitch black seabed, colorful glowing fish, flashing shadows in the sand, and a group of unidentified creatures that would discharge swaggered past Matthew's field of vision.

"It seems to be the bottom of the sea, or even the depths of some trench."

Matthew looked up.

I found myself stacked with layers upon top of my head on huge shells.

These shells extend upwards in a spiral state.

Each shell is supposed to be a layer of the Mage's Tower.

Matthew can't see the end of the shell.

However, the stat bar suggests that he is now in the Tower of Babel, which is the territory of Chen, the Guardian of the East.

Just as Matthew was about to walk around.

He suddenly looked down and saw a hideous, huge dragon head under his feet glaring at him!

Matthew couldn't help but be taken aback.

In the process.

Only then did he realize that the floor of this hall was also made of transparent material, and under the hall, a huge dragon head was nailed to the iron pillars by countless iron chains.

Matthew didn't see the body of this dragon head.

But even if it's just one head.

It also brought him an extremely strong oppressive force.

"What kind of dragon is this?"

Matthew was curious.

As if to understand what was going on in his heart, Chen's voice came from above the shell:

"This is the dragon of the sea, the source of endless trouble."

"I've been fighting him for over 30 years and have killed his resurrection three times.

But he is inherently immortal, so during the inactive period, I can only seal his head here and keep it strictly guarded.

And it's time for the active phase.

There was no way to stop him from this seal.

In order to minimize the disaster caused by the dragon in the sea, I must keep an eye on him at all times.

It's just that every time this guy is resurrected, he will be stronger than before.

Killing him last time has cost me a lot, and I don't know how terrible the enemy I'll face next time will grow. ”

Between words.

Chen appeared in front of Matthew.

To Matthew's surprise, Chen, who is known for his melee spells, is completely weak.

His face is protein-clean, his skin is smooth, and he even has a creamy feeling.

The only thing that is different from ordinary little white faces is.

Chen's eyes were resolute, bright and shiny.

This is an outward manifestation of strong mental power.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you think I'm more handsome than you think? Or some sissies? ”

Chen seemed to be in a good mood today, and actually took the initiative to joke with Matthew.

Matthew hurriedly said:

"It's not quite what I imagined."

Chen explained with a smile:

"Appearance is just the thinnest layer of skin for us mages, the reason why I look like this is only when I was young, I wanted to disguise myself through this means, so as to attract more enemies to attack me through melee combat, which can create better conditions for myself to cast spells."

Matthew nodded as if he didn't understand:

"So that's one of the mysteries of melee spells?"

Chen shook his head:

"Of course, I can't call it a little cautious when I was young, and I don't modify it when I get used to it."

"Actually, the word melee spell itself can easily lead people astray, how can any mage give up his range advantage to choose melee combat with the enemy?"

"You must know that no matter what realm you are in, the advantage of cast range is all!"

Matthew agrees with Chen's words.

A big part of what makes a mage powerful is the length of the hand.

"Then why did you take the melee path?"

Chan explains:

"I was forced to do so, and I was cursed by my blood from birth."

"When it comes to practicing ordinary spells, it's very inefficient, and then a chance discovery opened up the legendary path of melee glory that opened me up, and I took advantage of the loophole of that curse, and then I got to where I am today."

"Actually, I'm still quite envious that you can grow step by step with these normal methods, and people like me who are completely on their own don't know what to do next."

Curse?

Matthew was slightly stunned.

He also thought that Chen practiced melee spells because of his preference, but he didn't expect it to be because he had no choice but to do so.

"Why do you have a curse on you?"

"Is it related to the Sioux Clan?"

Matthew vaguely thought of something.

Chen nodded:

"My father is a Sioux person, and I even suspect that he is the blood of the last Sioux emperor, so when he arrived on the continent of Aiindor, he had very severe symptoms of elemental disparity, and during that time he vomited and diarrhea every day and almost died."

"I don't know what happened after that, after all, I wasn't born at the time, but my father found a way to relieve the symptoms."

"Thanks to this, I was born."

"However, my father's method does not seem to have completely alleviated the Sioux people's adaptation, I have had a lot of minor problems since birth, and one of them is that I can use spells but not be able to use ranged spells."

"Fortunately, none of these problems are too problematic, but occasionally there are some disgusting people."

Matthew is intrigued by the curse on Chen's body.

But the first time we met, it was somewhat out of place to get to the bottom of it.

So he tried to knock on the side:

"I've seen some Sioux people on Junliu Island before, and they will return to the sea when they die, is this also a curse?"

Chen Shen said:

"Perhaps."

"When I was younger, I studied the phenomenon of the Sioux returning to the sea, and I can talk to you about it if you're interested."

"At present, there are three possibilities, the first one may be related to King Mingtan back then-

At the beginning, in order to let his ship pass through the endless ocean smoothly, King Mingtan made some kind of deal with the sea monsters that blocked him.

The bargain was supposed to be that the Sioux would serve the sea monster when they died.

The manifestation, of course, is to sink to the bottom of the sea;

The second possibility is related to the last emperor of the Sioux people.

It is said that the emperor possessed the power of a divine mage and could bring the dead back to life.

As I understand it.

The Emperor fell in the third battle of the Abyss Invasion.

According to the legend of the Sioux people.

A hundred years later, the emperor will be resurrected in a submarine mausoleum and return with his people.

If this legend is true.

Then the Sioux who went to the bottom of the sea probably headed for the emperor's tomb.

The source of the third condition is a dusk creation sealed by the Sioux at the bottom of the sea.

That guy is named the Twin Serpents of the World, and he is also the creator of the original Naga.

Because He was sealed by the Sioux people, he hated them to the core.

When the Sioux were strong, he didn't dare to speak up, because if he was a little noisy, the emperor would come and beat him.

Now the empire of the Sioux has fallen.

Naturally, he had a chance to fall into the ground.

There are all kinds of signs that the Twin Snakes of the World Destroying are in a weak state, which is also consistent with the fact that he can only charm the dying Sioux people.

In fact, all three of the above may explain the curse of the Sioux people.

But there is a lack of sufficient evidence to support it.

After all, the eastern part of the Endless Ocean is already a forbidden zone, and no one knows what is happening there. ”

Matthew was surprised:

"Even a strong man like you can't understand?"

Chen said calmly:

"There is no limit to the power of man, even if it is a divine mage. I can't think of anyone other than the legendary characters of the Scourge Mage who could enter the area east of the Countercurrent Abyss, which has become an unexplained space, where the laws have been broken down and reorganized, and you can often see islands floating in the sky, those are fragments of the Eastern Continent where the Sioux used to be. ”

"We still don't know what happened in the Soviet Union, but the incident thousands of years ago must be related to the invasion of the Abyss."

"Don't you think that on the continent of Aiindor, the devils are always more active than the demons?"

"In fact, we observed that when the Su Kingdom fell 1,000 years ago, the abyss also suffered a major blow, a large number of demon lords died, and even the abyss mother body seemed to be injured, so the abyss has been pushed back by purgatory very much over the years, and there is not much energy to stir up trouble in the main material world at all."

Matthew nodded abruptly.

No wonder the devils always have a much stronger sense of existence than the demons.

It turned out to be the far-reaching impact caused by the fall of the Soviet Union.

Because there is a common topic of the Soviet Union.

The next conversation between the two was also natural and smooth.

Matthew learned some of the secret past of the Soviet State from Chen's mouth.

A moment later.

Chen suddenly pulled the topic back:

"Remember what I just told you about the Twin Serpents?"

"That guy is a pure bad seed, and recently because of the odd number of days, the seal on his body has loosened a lot, so he has re-enchanted a part of the Naga."

"They established the Dark Primordial Cult at the bottom of the sea, trying to unify the Naga kingdom first, and then turn more humans into Naga."

"Those stupid Nagas are really willing to work for the Twin Snakes of the World, and they are doing bad things right under my nose, it really disgusts me."

"But my main energy is to deal with the dragon in the sea and other super monsters in the southeast, and I plan to leave this kind of thing to the other mages in the alliance to do it."

"It just so happens that you can come over today, and I will ask you by the way, can you do this task?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, as long as you can kill Queen Zina of the Aru Inland Sea, and destroy the Dark Origin Holy Sect by the way, I will directly recommend you to become a member of the next Silver Council."

"I've got some small gifts for you, too."

"I'll give you this one in advance, because it's also about Margaret's safety."

Between words.

Chen waved his hand.

A lilac, beautiful translucent robe appeared in front of Matthew.

Matthew was slightly stunned:

"It's ...... Women's clothes? ”

Chen smiled faintly:

"This is the Starweaver Robe aka "The Joy of the Goddess of Magic", you can take it and see it first."

Matthew took the robe, only to feel that it was very soft.
