"There's a reason for that." Spirit Naga generously admitted, "But the main reason is Anachett himself, he is ostensibly trying to mold the Lizard Queen into the co-master of the scaly creatures, but in fact he is a secret believer in Zehir, the god of toxins and scale claws, everything is Zehir's conspiracy, to find a poor worm to possess him in the material plane, I just revealed this matter to the Lizard Queen." ”

"With such a serious matter, how could the Lizard Queen still allow them to stay in Thun Swamp? Didn't you swallow them all in your stomach a long time ago? The Spirit Naga's explanation made Gavin even more suspicious, the Lizard Queen was not a benevolent lord who would not be lenient to those who tried to plot against her.

A sly smile appeared on the face of the Spirit Naga Snake and said: "I was just guessing about this matter at the time, and I couldn't come up with real evidence, and the strength of these snake man spell magicians is quite good, especially the snake man spell chaser in their hands, that kind of terrifying monster is afraid of even the lizard queen, and most importantly, Kurgol didn't want to take the risk of offending an evil god, but just exiled them from the Lizard King's court to the depths of the Thun swamp, an inner swamp called the snake swamp, so that they could never leave this place, They were not allowed to enter the royal court.

When the Lizard Queen sat in the Lizard King's court, they really didn't dare to disobey her orders, but if the news of the Lizard Queen's problem with me at the same time reached the snake swamp, according to what I knew about Anachel, he would definitely take action, and it was not impossible to take the opportunity to seize the power of the Lizard King's court. ”

This incident was completely unexpected by Gavin, and he had to take it seriously: "You mean that no matter what, Thun Marsh could face a civil war?"

"Yes, even if they don't fight the lizardmen in the process of subduing them, by the time they confirm that the Lizard Queen can't come back, they will definitely come out of the snake swamp and try to wrest control of the Thun swamp from the lord." Spirit Naga said with great certainty, "In fact, he has not been idle all these years, he has been secretly inciting those black-scaled lizardmen tribes, so that they can switch to Zehir's arms and jointly rebel against the lizard queen, and some of the black-scaled lizardmen tribes have secretly taken refuge in him, which is not a strange thing, although I don't like him very much, but I have to say that his ability to instigate this area is indeed not comparable to ordinary people." ”

"Country, China." Gavin's attention has increased by three points, and he can occupy a place among other forces, which in itself is a proof of strength, especially for an unreasonable guy like the Lizard Queen, "How big is this snake tribe?" How many soldiers are there to fight? ”

"This is not very clear, although the snake swamp is not big, but there are half of the snakes in Thun swamp, except for the snake people, no one can safely enter and exit there, Anachel does not allow others to peep into the situation in the snake swamp, conservative estimates, there are at least a thousand snake people there, but these snake people are never good at frontal combat, but hiding in the shadows to engage in conspiracy, as long as they want, the snakes in the entire Thun swamp can be driven by them and can be used by them." At this time, the spirit Naga can be said to know everything, and does everything he can to prove his loyalty to Gavin.

"Very good, thank you very much for your information, your information is very useful to me, at least I will not be caught off guard by the enemy, hmph, it seems that Her Majesty the Lizard Queen is still lucky, counting on those servants to free herself from my hands, then let her stay in the Void Prison for a while." While expressing satisfaction with the spirit Naga, Gavin expressed his dissatisfaction with the Lizard Queen, and the fat dragon did not tell him this information, which was definitely ill-intentioned.

Some of them were deliberately performed for the spirit Naga to see, and only he knew.

"Lord Wise." There is indeed a bit of joy in the words of the spirit Naga, for him, it is the most pleasant thing for him to make the lizard queen eat and suffer, although compared to the immortal revenge reincarnation he suffered before, the direct pain of the void confinement is not big, but after a long period of accumulation, the indirect pain is not small at all, especially the lizard queen's gluttony, her hunger and thirst do not come from the body, but from the soul, in the endless void of nothing, there is not even soil, It won't be long before she will be tossed crazy by her gluttony, hunger and thirst, and she can't even escape from the dragon's sleep, because in the endless void, everything is up to Gavin.

Spirit Naga said cautiously: "The lord reminded me just now, there is a guess I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”

He is a smart person, and he knows very well how bad his previous betrayal of the Lizard Queen in order to regain the Soul Stone has left a bad impression on Gavin, even if the other party is now in control of his Soul Stone, he will not easily give himself the slightest trust, lest he treat the Lizard Queen like he did, and give him a knife at a critical moment, so he speaks extra carefully, lest there be unnecessary misunderstandings and let himself suffer unnecessary pain, the group of people in front of him are high-sounding, kind and noble on the surface, in fact, The methods are more brutal than the devil, and the tricks are more numerous than the devil.

"Say, whether it's right or wrong, I'm not guilty." Of course, Gavin knows what the other party wants, every word that such a guy says, there may be deadly venom in it, but it cannot be denied that there are also a lot of useful strategies and plans in it, and in his development in recent months, at least half of all kinds of strategies and plans are contributed by these chaotic and evil people, but when they are adopted, they must be carefully screened and even adjusted a lot, for this, Gavin is familiar with it.

"I've been wondering before, although I didn't have any real evidence for Anachel's revelations at the time, but it was enough for a tyrannical and suspicious black dragon, enough for him to pull out Anachel's cramps and swallow everything related to him into his stomach, and she just banished him into the snake swamp, and let him develop his own power there and establish his own country, China, which is definitely not in line with the Lizard Queen's usual style, It's not that I don't want to offend an evil god to explain the past, I think it's more like the Lizard Queen took advantage of the situation, deliberately did so, deliberately created the illusion of discord between her and Anachel, in fact, he is her biggest hole card, the back hand prepared for herself, in order to prevent today's situation from happening......"

The more the spirit Naga spoke, the smoother his thinking became, and he didn't know if he persuaded Gavin, at least he persuaded himself first, "That's right, it must be like this, only in this way can it make sense why Anachet and his snake swamp maintain so much autonomy in Thun Swamp, my lord, I think we should raid the lizard queen and see if we can squeeze more out of her?" If it's inconvenient for the lord to make a move, leave it to me. ”

In the end, the spirit Naga was eager to try, and directly wrote the idea of communiqué's personal vendetta on his face.

"No, if this is really the backhand she prepared for herself, we will definitely not be able to judge anything, because there are many ways in this world to let yourself forget about this matter, because only the backhand that she doesn't know is the safest." Gavin rejected the Spirit Naga's offer, "Whether it's the Lizard Queen's backhand or not, we should deal with it, and it's not easy to be misled by the Lizard Queen, and only by tearing up her last hope can she be honestly used by me." ”

It is better to have a letter than to have no book.

If you make your own plans and rely entirely on the information provided by the enemy, you are likely to fall into the traps of the enemy, especially if the enemy on the opposite side is a group of snake people.

If there is any race in this world that was born for the sake of intrigue and intrigue, anyone who has been in contact with the snake people will not hesitate to contribute this name.

Legend has it that the snake people used to be humans, and their civilization worshipped snakes as totems in the early days of prosperous civilization, and they appreciated the snake's bending and flexibility, exquisite body balance and lethal strike ability, and the idea of their constant molting and evolution made them so fascinated that they could think clearly and get rid of the shackles of human emotions and become a higher existence.

Therefore, they worship the snake god, and use the evil witchcraft secret method to turn themselves into the same form as the snake god, as for this secret method, it has long been forgotten in the dust of history, but one thing is certain, that is, this witchcraft secret method is extremely evil, involving a large number of bloody sacrifices, cannibalism and crossbreeding with snakes, etc., after seeing the murals of the remains of the temple ruins they left behind, many people simply can't stand this impact, and go crazy directly.

Forget to explain a point, the snake people and the Kou Tao fish people, without exception, belong to the theocratic structure model, their supreme ruler is a certain god of the high priest, their residence is a huge, magnificent, full of countless secret snake cave temples, since anyone who knows the snake people, the first sight of their temple will not admit mistakes, only those snake people will build this weird, twisted but with strange beauty of the building.

But unlike the crazy piety of the Kou Tao Fishmen, and even the creation of their own gods, the worship of the snake people is notoriously false worship, when they sacrifice their human body to transform themselves into monsters that are not snakes and people, they also give up all their own humanity, not only do they have no pity, sympathy, pleasure, this series of positive emotions, not even fear, fear and a series of negative emotions, so they will not be manipulated, influenced or controlled by non-magical means.

But they are masters at using this to control others through magical and non-magical means to achieve their own ends.

If you don't even have the least reverence, where does the reverence come from?

Their worship of the snake god is just a tool of their domination, a tool used to assist themselves in realizing their great conspiracy plans, all snake people have an endless greed and thirst for power, this is the only spark of humanity hidden in their hearts, it is so weak, so slim, only greater power, a higher status, can arouse a trace of satisfaction in their hearts, they will devote their lives to this satisfaction.

This has to be said to be the greatest irony of the snake people race, when their ancestors voluntarily chose to give up their humanity in order to pursue eternal life, greater strength and more perfect body, believing that this was the biggest drag on them.

As a result, after losing the shackles of human nature, they did not hesitate to use the harshest means and the most vicious intrigues against their own kind, causing their civilization to enter a great collapse at its peak, and were driven to the most barren corners by the intelligent creatures who had been enslaved and oppressed, and could only survive in remote places such as jungles, swamps, mountains and deserts.

Their descendants have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of what little remaining desire in life.

In the eyes of ordinary people, all swamps are the same, but in the eyes of those swamp creatures, swamps are ever-changing, it not only has its own internal distinctions, but also will continue to expand and shrink with the seasons and rainfall, so there are few swamp intelligent creatures who live in one place fixedly, and they tend to be semi-nomadic.

But all swamps have a relatively fixed way of dividing them, divided into inner marshes and outer marshes.

The outer marsh refers to those relatively irregular swamp parts, this unfixed is not only the expansion and contraction of the area, but also refers to the irregularity of the internal water flow, all the swamp areas with living water belong to the outer marsh, even if it is located in the core of the whole swamp, this is the case of the Thun marsh, its largest swamp is not on the outside, but on the inside, because the river of the border is directly crossed from its inside, cut into two unequal halves.

Because of the reason for the living water, there are enough nutrients here, and it is naturally the most lush area in the entire swamp, many areas are covered by aquatic weeds and aquatic plants, with a large number of fish, aquatic animals, etc., and it is naturally the main gathering place of swamp creatures, so it is usually called a living swamp, and the lizard queen's lizard royal court is naturally established here.

The inner marsh is those places that are wrapped in the deepest part of the outer marsh, although there is an infusion of water here, but there is no longer an outflow, it has become an out-and-out stagnant water, everything is piled up and rotted here, and the salt content here is much higher than that of other areas under the accumulation of countless years, even if it does not become seawater, but it is almost the same, which makes the flora and fauna here and the outer marsh have a lot of differences, not only the species, but the overall growth, but also sick, short and thin, but there are two things here, one is mosquitoes, and the other is snakes.

This kind of stagnant water area is the best environment for them to raise the next generation, the air is full of the roar of mosquitoes in swarms, seeing the mosquitoes passing by, except for those snakes, other creatures can't help but immerse their bodies in the water, this is the only effective way to avoid their swarms of attack, the slightest carelessness, they will be sucked alive blood and die.

If the air is the world of mosquitoes, then the following is the world of snakes, everywhere you can see the snake masses that are constantly rolling, long, short, not long, not short, red, green, colorful, etc., the whole is a large gathering of snakes, even those snake polymaths come here, for a while can not tell how many species of snakes there are, they are also another reason for the high density of mosquitoes here, because the natural enemies of mosquitoes have no place here at all.

The snake swamp in the mouth of the spirit Naga is the largest inner swamp in the Thun swamp, located in the western half, in the south, more than eighty kilometers away from the dragon palace of the lizard queen, it can be said that it is a model of the inner marsh, the smell and the swamp are difficult to distinguish from each other, permeating the entire snake swamp directly above the swamp, when there are clusters of mosquitoes passing by, countless newborn mosquitoes rise into the air, join them, and in the blink of an eye, it becomes a black and oppressive mosquito cloud, sweeping towards the outer swamp with more fat prey, this is just the birthplace of mosquitoes, But it's not where they live.

The ground was full of rolling snakes, many of which were even far above the black waters of the swamp, and anyone who had a special affection for such a slippery, scaly creature would be ecstatic to see such a sight, and if he did not, it would become a lingering nightmare for his entire life.

The most unique thing about the snake swamp is that it belongs to a unique temple that stands in it, and the reason why it is unique is that less than a third of this temple is still above the surface, and the rest has long been swallowed up by the black water of the dead swamp.

Even if only one-third of the broken remains, you can feel his grandeur, the curve is distorted, which makes people think of a long snake at a glance, and there is a huge snake-shaped statue at the top of the temple, exuding a cold and ruthless evil atmosphere, you don't need to know that this belongs to the snake man temple, and it is also a very ancient kind, and it may even come from the snake man empire civilization, because according to legend, whether it is Thun swamp or the far sea swamp originally did not belong to the swamp, but have a glorious civilization and history, This can be seen in the sunken or semi-sunken remains in the swamp.

The two city-states fought each other and cast powerful and evil spells on each other's bodies, which not only led to the destruction of the two city-states, but also caused a certain degree of land sinking here, which was flooded by the flooded river and transformed into the current swamp, and these two city-state cities are likely to belong to the snake civilization.

There is no way to verify whether this legend is true, but one thing is certain, and that Anachelt and his tribe of snakes have a longer history in Thun Swamp than the Lizard Queen, and they have been entrenched here long before she arrives, weaving their own schemes and dreaming of recreating the glory of their empire.
