……

"You're not Lee Weiqi."

In the dark and remote alley, the figure of a humanoid with only a few blue-green scales showing out of the starlight said cautiously:

"Although I haven't met the turtle warrior monk who has done all the bad things, I know that the warrior monk will not be like you."

Not far away.

Matthew stood in the middle of the alley.

The mage's fire illuminated his handsome face.

Unlike the Nagas standing in the shadows, they are filled with an atmosphere of vigilance.

His face was full of ease and pleasure.

Lee Weiqi's reputation is really good!

This guy ate almost all the turtles on the Gold Coast that year, so he became famous.

In addition, he also did a few things that were not very famous.

It is said that one of them was to get into a fight with the Naga and then kill most of the pursuers of a Naga tribe at sea.

Since then, Lee Weiqi has not only become a household name on the Gold Coast.

He has a good reputation among the Naga.

Matthew doesn't care if it's notoriety or reputation, as long as he can seduce the right people-

In his opinion, that's how legend is used!

If it weren't for the uncertainty of whether Loren had really hooked up with Queen Naga.

He was even willing to directly assume the identity of a fraudulent demigod!

But it's a much riskier move.

Lee Weich's enemies are, at best, some turtle protectors and naga.

As for Loraine.

Matthew didn't dare to think about it.

"I didn't say I was Lee Weiqi."

"But Lee Weiqi is indeed my friend, and I just want to use his fame to say hello to you."

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Matthew, a second-level member of the Silver Council of the Seven Holy Alliance, if you have paid a little attention to the affairs of the interior, you should have heard of this name."

He took two generous steps towards Naga in the shadows.

"Don't come here!"

Two Nagas lifted the harpoons.

The dampness in the alley suddenly increased a little—Matthew knew it was someone brewing tidal magic.

Matthew quietly held the shovel behind his back in the palm of his hand.

The prelude to tidal magic was interrupted.

The exclamation of a Naga mage was heard in the shadows.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to be friends with you."

Moonlight fell suddenly.

Under the influence of holy authority.

Everything Matthew said seemed so sincere and credible.

His handsome appearance has become more seductive because of this, as if he can snatch the souls of Nagas away with every gesture - whether they are male or female.

The tension in the alley suddenly disappeared.

Now.

A green naga suddenly stepped out of the shadows.

Her stature is noticeably taller and stronger than the other Nagas.

The breasts are also fuller and fuller.

The scales on her cheeks were trembling slightly, which showed the uneasiness in everyone's hearts:

"I've heard of your reputation, but I don't know anything about you."

"You said you're here to be friends, so you should at least explain - how did you know you could contact our Eternal Night Tribe from this shop?"

Matthew showed a helpless expression:

"I did business with you, but the big goblin lady forgot about it."

"I've bought underwater breathing potions in large quantities from your Eternal Night Tribe."

"And since I came to Kordor, many people have told me that the Eternal Night Tribe is one of the few heroes in the entire Arunesea who is still resisting the tyrannical rule of the Naga Kingdom, which is why I wanted to find you."

The green pi naga was silent for a moment.

Her expression was calm and sad:

"We're not heroes."

"We're just a bunch of wanderers who have been expelled from our homeland."

"We can't resist the power of Queen Naga, nor can we defend ourselves against the Grand General Arenas and her sea monsters, and it's almost impossible to count on us to take down the Naga Kingdom."

"In fact, in the near future, we are already planning to move out of the Aruni Sea and take refuge in more remote places......

Matthew quickly interrupted her:

"First, I didn't expect you to help me take out the Naga Kingdom, and my motives weren't either."

"Second, do you think those Primordial Naga will let you go?"

"As long as you still have the blood of the original Naga in your body, you will be tracked down by them and killed."

"If you have some geographical advantage in the Arune, then in unfamiliar waters you will only be lambs to the slaughter."

The Nagas looked depressed.

The same is true for the green pi naga.

However, as a leader, she still barely bothers herself:

"What do you want us to do?"

Matthew was straightforward:

"I need you to help me infiltrate the Naga Kingdom, preferably into the core area of the Dark Primordial Cult's activities!"

"If you can find the hidden location of Queen Zina, or the daily route of travel, you can do it."

Qingpi Naga was shocked:

"You're going to assassinate the Queen?"

Matthew spread his hands:

"She's not your queen, she's just a monster created by the Twilight Creations."

"You should be happy if I kill her, and the sea will return to its former state."

The other nagas began to whisper.

Qingpi Naga shook his head hesitantly:

"According to custom, we cannot betray our own people."

Matthew sneered:

"Did the Protophytes treat you as their own?"

"Will one's own people enslave one's own people?"

"How long did it take for the Naga of the Arune Sea to shake the world off the negative image?"

"You were already seen as an intelligent race, freed from the labels of ignorance, torture, and control, and you had a chance to be on the more central stage of Aindor."

"Are you really willing to give it all away?"

"Let the entire Naga become tools for the Twilight Creations to create conspiracy and chaos?"

"Do you know what's going to happen then?"

"There will be a real legendary mage who will lead an overwhelming amount of magic from the sky, and maybe all the Naga civilization will be razed to the ground."

"Do you really want to see that?"

"Don't you forget, how did the Aruninland Sea come to be?"

"Bruch doesn't care about your life and civilization, don't you care either?"

Matthew's words were sincere.

Even without the blessing of holy authority, it is very persuasive.

Many naga were moved.

Only the green pi Naga barely maintained a trace of sanity:

"But as far as I know, Bruch is not the only force in the Dark Primordial Cult."

"When we challenged the original faction, we found the backs of a lot of foreign forces."

"Their origins are very mixed, and what they have in common is that they are strong, and they all come from the shore."

Matthew nodded slightly.

He wasn't surprised.

Combined with the information provided by Chen, Carmela, and Yu Yao.

Matthew is not only well aware of the current situation in the Aru Inland Sea, but also detects some signs that other forces are on the horizon.

Why did the Cult of the Dark Primordial Sect establish a nation in the Aru Inland Sea?

To know.

They're most likely swimming from the Endless Ocean.

There is only one reason for the long journey -

The Endless Ocean and its inshore waters are the territory of Chen, the Guardian of the East.

Naturally, Bruch himself was not afraid of Chen.

But his little brother was afraid that he would have to hide far away.

Only hide in the Aru Inland Sea, a place where Chen and Ronan are too lazy to bird.

Only then did they have the courage to re-establish their power.

This is true of the Cult of the Dark Primordial Body.

The same is true of the devils who support the sickle.

The Gold Coast and the Arune Sea may not be in the eyes of the Alliance's legendary mages.

But for other forces, it is like a feast.

Matthew asked himself if he was a person from Tianlun Palace, he would not miss this sea area.

In fact.

He had long known that the South Shore of the Gold Coast had traces of the Scourge Order's activities.

If the forces of the Tianlun Palace of the Dark Origin Holy Sect and the Scourge Cult didn't have a little collusion.

Matthew would have found it strange instead!

It was precisely because of all these factors that Matthew was relatively restrained in targeting the assassination of Queen Naga.

If it's convenient, you can also clean up the general.

Complete the missions of Ah Bing and Chen at a minimum.

That's Matthew's bottom line.

"I know everything you say, but you can't expect me to sweep away all the opposition for you."

"After the death of Queen Naga, it will depend on your own efforts who will be in charge of this sea area."

"Of course, I can provide you with some help, and we can even have a long-term cooperation, after all, I have always praised your underwater breathing drugs."

Matthew replied.

Qingpi Naga thought for a few more seconds.

Ultimately.

She took a few steps forward and whispered in Matthew's ear:

"You set out from the southwest of the pier in the city of Cordo, and find an island called Gray Island, which has a very high cliff on the north shore of Gray Island, and I will be waiting for you there at dusk in two days' time."

"But remember, I'm only waiting for you for half an hour, and if you don't show up on time, we'll never see each other!"

Matthew nodded slightly.

The green pi Naga looked at him deeply, and when she turned and walked into the shadows, she suddenly turned around with some dissatisfaction:

"You weren't going to ask my name from the beginning to the end?"

Matthew politely said:

"What's your name, please?"

The green pi Naga retreated into the shadows with some dissatisfaction.

Her voice still came from the darkness:

"My name is Sussimita."

"The next time we meet, you can call me Sumi......"

The alley gradually calmed down.

Matthew hurriedly withdrew his holy authority and touched his face by the way:

"My damn charm, it seems too late to become a warlock now?"

……

Leave the alley.

Matthew saw Peggy pinning Bing to the side and counting them down.

"What's wrong?"

He asked.

Peggy lets go of her hand:

"It's nothing, I think he's a little dirty on his bones, just clean it up for him."

Ah Bing silently lowered his head.

Burst!

Without a word, he activated the Cloak of Shadow, and obediently followed behind Matthew.

Matthew quickly realized something.

He reassured Ah Bing through the contract of the undead, saying:

"I know you want to cut Naga when you see it, but bear with it."

"I'll take you to kill the culprit among them."

Bing replied to Matthew in a rare way:

"Okay."

"I ...... Want...... Not a single one to stay! ”

Matthew raised an eyebrow.

The hatred between the Knife Dancer and the Naga is really monstrous and bloody, reaching the point where it cannot be resolved even after death.

Matthew didn't really approve of the extermination.

But an undead like Bing, who has an independent will and a strong desire for revenge, doesn't want to bind him through a contract.

"Yes."

"After this matter is settled, if you still have hatred for Naga, I will give you a month off every year, and during the holiday, you can kill as many Naga as you want."

"As for how far you can go, it depends on your own ability."

Matthew replied.

Ah Bing didn't squeak for a long time.

At first, Matthew was a little surprised, but soon, he was a little ridiculous.

data bar.

……

"Hint: With Bing's intelligence, I can't understand this large part of the words you put out through the necromantic contract for the time being.

He's trying to understand!"

……

Okay.

Let's take our time.

Matthew didn't expect Bing to be enlightened all of a sudden.

After meeting Naga.

According to the original plan, Matthew planned to return to the Oak Chamber of Commerce's store in Cordo City to rest.

But walk and walk.

He was attracted by the bustling crowds of the city of Cordo.

Yu Yao, this guy is really not a good thing.

But he really has a hand in the economy.

Even at night, Matthew saw many creatures of different races walking through the streets, hawking, and shouting...... Of course, there are quite a few quarrels.

The business district is more than three times as crowded as Matthew was when he came before!

It is said that the situation at the pier is even hotter.

Matthew stood in the middle of the street, opening up the balanced perception, and he could feel as if the city had a small whirlpool.

Draw countless coins towards the depths of the vortex.

Under the Naga Civil War and the rule of Yu Sickle.

The entire city of Cordo is on the fast track to rapid development.

It's just that there are pros and cons.

Matthew observes that the level of law and order in the city of Cordo looks good on the surface, but in private it is almost erosive.

In a dimly lit pub alley.

A drunken man was stabbed in the back more than a dozen times;

Sewer entrance.

A few nezumi pretended to be resting, but in fact they were covering the trade of a batch of shady military weapons;

There are also commercial streets.

A ghostly kid slit open the waist pouch of a richly dressed lady with a blade buried in his fingernails—

Seeing that he was about to succeed.

Suddenly four big men jumped out of the crowd next to him and surrounded him!

"Ma'am, he's stealing from you!"

Dahan said to the lady.

The lady turned around in surprise, grabbed the rip in her fanny pack, counted the contents, and then grabbed the hand of the other female companion and hurried away.

She has good eyesight.

The four big men who suddenly appeared are not good people.

It's better to go first.

The four big men didn't stop it, they just looked at the iron-faced kid coldly, and one of the big men grabbed the young man's wrist, and the horizontal flesh on his face couldn't stop shaking:

"According to the new law promulgated by the lord of the castle, stealing something will cost you a finger!"

"Would you like to try it?"

The young man was so frightened by him that he immediately leaked his timidity.

There was a pleading expression on his face:

"Kunda boss, I didn't cross the line."

"Didn't we talk about it before? To the south of that fur shop is your Blackwater Gang's territory, and I'm here ......."

Syllable!

The big man slapped the young man into a daze, and a line of nosebleeds came out of his left nostril!

"You said that there is no crossing of the line, there is no crossing of the line?"

"That lady just came out of our territory!"

"Besides, Lao Tzu is talking to you about the law now! Law! Do you understand? ”

The big man smiled and said:

"What I hate the most is a little thief like you, who dares to go out on the street and be embarrassed if you don't have any skills."

"One day, when the guards grabbed him and cut off his fingers, it was the face of all the thieves in Cordor City!"

A person next to him smiled and said:

"What can we do to prevent that from happening?"

Dahan smiled and said:

"Of course, it's to help him change his ways!"

"We'll cut off one of his hands so he won't have to have a finger cut off in the future!"

"Damn, our Blackwater Gang is really a good person!"

said.

The four of them grabbed the boy and walked into the alley next to him.

Onlookers just watched the excitement in silence.

Not even a single person informed the guards.

After all, anyone with a little discerning knows that this is an internal dispute between urban gangsters, and it is better for ordinary citizens not to get involved.

In this way, they carried the boy and rushed into the depths of the alley.

Only a drunken man who was trampled on a few times along the way cursed a few words.

Rub!

Under the moonlight.

The bright sword was shining with a cold air that pierced through the bones.

The boy begged and begged for a while.

But this is just more ridicule from the big men.

But just when he thought he was about to lose his arm.

A strange magical energy suddenly fell from the sky!

All of a sudden.

Those four big men have all become goats!

They scurried around the alley in a panic.

As soon as the mage standing at the mouth of the alley used his magic power to guide him, the goats suddenly rushed out into the street, making a lot of noise along the way.

The boy looked in horror at the mage who was walking towards him.

His heart was filled with fear.

"Where's your grandfather?"

Matthew asked.

The teenager looked at Matthew in surprise.

He recognized it for a long time before he finally shouted excitedly:

"Yes, it's you?!"

"Master Matthew?"

He tried to get up from the ground, but he stumbled and fell.

It was Matthew who threw him a secondary treatment, and then slowly helped him up with his balanced hand.

Matthew quietly surveyed the boy's face.

In Matthew's memory.

This child, named Xiaoshi, is only ten years old this year, but he looks like he is twelve or thirteen years old, and there are traces of suffering on his face that cannot be hidden.

It's a stark contrast to the innocence that often exuded when the two met at Evening Breeze Pier last summer.

"Grandpa...... I went back to the sea. ”

"Like the rest of us Sioux elders, one night not long after you left, he got up on his own, and without saying anything, he walked out of the beach into the waves."

"I chased all the way and was almost swept away by the waves."

Little Stone bowed his head and said.

"After grandpa left, Xuankunzi came once, and after learning of grandpa's death, he returned to the sea and never appeared again."

"Without Xuankunzi, I'm the only one left on the dock."

"The Nagas fought so hard at sea that there were few travelers who wanted to cross the sea, and I ate coconuts and raspberries for two months, and I was so hungry that I had to come to the city to eat."

"I didn't want to be a thief's ......"

Matthew sighed softly.

On the Gold Coast, there are a considerable number of Sioux descendants who, like small stones, have no livelihood skills and are therefore engaged in various gray-black industries.

The same is true for Yu Yao.

It's just that he belongs to one of the very few who can make a name for himself.

Considering that he and Xiao Shi also had a relationship.

Matthew's eyes rolled.

Then he asked:

"Literate?"

Little Stone nodded:

"Yes, grandpa taught me when he was here."

"But I always write on the beach, and I haven't touched pen and paper."

Matthew waved his hand:

"That's okay."

"If you are willing to follow me, I can arrange a job for you, this job will not make you rich, but it will definitely ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing."

Xiao Shi asked with some excitement:

"What do you want me to do?"

Matthew pondered:

"It's not a particularly complicated thing, but you have to follow a dead fat man all day long, record his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and report to me regularly."

Little Stone jumped up excitedly.

But soon he showed a hint of nervousness:

"I'm afraid that I'm not very good at it, and it's easy for the other party to see it."

Matthew smiled:

"You don't have to hide it from the other party, just record it truthfully in front of him, he won't mind."

Little Stone was surprised:

"Really?"

"That's so nice......

"Uh, by the way, who is he?"

Matthew said calmly:

"The lord of Kordo City, his name is Yu Yao."

The little stone was slightly stunned.

There was a look of disbelief on his face:

"But, but ......"

Matthew raised an eyebrow:

"How?"

"Scared?"

Xiao Shi hesitated for a moment, and immediately puffed up his chest:

"I'm not afraid!"

"I believe in you!"

"Grandpa and Xuan Kunzi have both mentioned that you are a great person, what you say is what you are!"

Matthew nodded in satisfaction.

"Peggy, you take him to the City Lord's Mansion."

Matthew arranged.

He did this not because he didn't trust Yu Yao, but because he reassured Yu Yao.

In a way.

Matthew's hand at Scythe may also be his talisman.

Matthew believes.

The mind of the sickle would not fail to see this.

Therefore, at the time of departure.

He also deliberately told Peggy through the necromancy contract:

"By the way, remember to tell Yu Yao that Xiaoshi's salary will be paid by him."

After listening to it, Peggy sighed with emotion:

"It's you, Matthew!"

"But I just like your thrifty style."

"But what about my salary?"

"You can't let Yu Sickle send it, right?"

Matthew thought for a moment:

"It's not impossible to ......"

"Didn't he say he was good at making money? You can ask him if he has a way to get soul crystals. ”

Peggy couldn't help but give Matthew a middle finger.

Then he wanted to lead the little stone out of here.

But at this time.

The little stone suddenly turned around:

"Can you come with me somewhere?"

Matthew thought for two seconds and nodded in agreement.

Ten minutes later.

On the outskirts of Ciudad Cordo.

Under a dying coconut tree.

Little Stone climbed up from a half-man's pit, and in his arms he carried a wooden box covered with mud and sand.

The small stone patted the surface of the box and opened it.

There are only three things in it –

a piccolo;

a copper key;

a red triangular amulet;

"That's all my grandfather left me, and there wasn't much left of it."

The little stone introduced one by one:

"This piccolo is used to summon Xuankunzi, as long as you blow this flute on the beach, Xuankunzi will come to the waves in a while."

"It used to be like this, but after my grandfather died, it didn't work, and I don't know what happened."

"The key and the triangular thing seem to be related to Xuan Kunzi, these things are useless in my hands, so it is better to give them to Master Matthew as a souvenir."

Matthew took the three items one by one.

He could feel a hint of spirituality in every object.

Spirituality is not sufficient.

So they can't be strange things.

But in the hands of the right people, these three things can be regarded as treasures.

"It's so precious."

Matthew shook his head.

However, Xiaoshi insisted:

"For me, the opportunity to be an upright person is even more precious."

"For a long time after my grandfather died, I just wanted to find a job that could support me, it was something I dreamed of, and you made it happen, so there is nothing more precious than that."

Matthew held the box and muttered silently.

The next moment.

He put his things away, and put three magic runes and a ring into Little Stone's hands:

"If you are not happy working in the City Lord's Mansion, you can contact me through this rune, and I will arrange other jobs for you."

"This ring can be used for invisibility, there are only nine chances a day, and you are not allowed to move or attack others during invisibility, you can use it to protect yourself."

This time it was Xiao Shi's turn to be honestly afraid.

In his eyes.

The invisible ring given by Matthew is an even more noble curiose.

At Matthew's insistence, he could only accept it with great gratitude.

A moment later.

Matthew watches Peggy walk back to the brightly lit city of Cordo with the small stones.

He flicked the piccolo in his hand.

Quickly came to the beach.

Matthew stands on the beach, facing the sea breeze and the tide at night, gently blowing the piccolo.

He doesn't know anything about musical instruments, and he blows nonsense.

But in the process of use.

He could clearly feel the piccolo in his hand pulling a strange force.

That power is quite distant.

It seems to be located in the depths of the sea.

The distance between the two sides is infinite, and it is impossible to get close to each other.

Matthew blew on the beach for about ten minutes.

Even the hairstyle was blown by the sea breeze.

Still fruitless.

"It's strange, Xuan Kunzi doesn't look like the kind of person who would abandon his friends' offspring......"

Just when Matthew wondered if there was something wrong with his playing posture.

There was a voice of great urgency in the sea.

The voice was very ethereal at first.

But under the capture of Matthew's powerful perception, the moment became extremely clear-

"Help, save ...... Help me! ”

Matthew's mind sank!

That's Xuan Kunzi's voice!

The super giant tortoise that had been apprenticed to a certain Taoist priest really did not reappear near the Evening Wind Pier because of normal circumstances.

He must have encountered some kind of situation!

"Where are you?"

"What happened?"

Matthew tried to communicate with the other party.

But soon Xuan Kunzi's voice became weak, and Matthew tried his best to hear only a relatively vague word-

"Shipwreck".

"Where is the shipwreck?"

Despite all the homework he had done beforehand, Matthew was still confused about the term.

After that, he tried on the beach for almost an hour.

Unable to get in touch with Xuan Kunzi anymore, Matthew gave up.

He went to find Yu Yao again.

But Yu Yao also didn't know anything about this word.

But he told Matthew.

This may be an undersea place name known only to deep-sea races.

Maybe it's more convenient to ask Naga.

Matthew doesn't plan to continue his search for clues to the shipwreck in Cordo City.

Next.

He set off on the magic carpet for Junliu Island.

When his feet stepped on the land of Junliu Island again.

He suddenly felt a strange energy surging towards his body from all directions!

Is that......

The power of balance!

……

"Hint: Your equilibrium field resonates with the local "Realm Field: Equilibrium"—

1. You have gained partial control of the field on the Equal-Stream Island, and you have found some special locations on the Equal-Stream Island......

2. You have mastered a new field ability "Chaos Ball".

Mayhem Balls: You can unleash a super giant ball.

The target shrouded by the colored balls will have chaotic phenomena such as no distinction between left and right, difficult to argue between positive and negative, unclear between men and women, difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and dizzy.

Special: When you use both Chaos and Malicious Transfiguration on a target for more than fifteen minutes.

The deformed target will have its self-perception subverted.

Even if he turns back into a human being afterwards.

He was still a goat at heart.

The same goes for other spells or abilities......
