V2.Chapter 48

Go back ten minutes.

In front of the Ocean Temple, the priest Naga stood in front of the statue with a gloomy face. She held the scepter representing the presiding priest of the Ocean Temple. She was wearing a blue robe with strange patterns embroidered on it, and a mysterious whirlpool. like emblem. In front of her was a Naga guard with a familiar face, and it seemed that Sauron had seen him once or twice. The Naga priest stared sharply ahead, with a hint of anger and murderous intent on his expression, and said condensedly, "Asrod still has no news at all?"

The Naga Guard leaned slightly and said, "Yes."

bang!

The Naga priest was so angry that he grabbed a piece of silverware and smashed it on the ground, then roared angrily: "How dare he do this! How dare he ignore me? How dare he ignore the power of the goddess of the sea!?"

The Naga guard was silent, and after a while, he said: "The number of times the goddess of the ocean answers prayers is getting less and less, and there are still many priests in the temple who can't get a response, and some apprentice priests have begun to lose the ability to perform magic. Inside the Naga There are rumors that the goddess of the sea is waning, which makes some of them think otherwise."

"Asrod probably won't respond to your request!...He got the wealth of Alcatraz Island!..."

"The king of the swamp has accumulated a huge wealth. Asrod is said to be recruiting troops. He even stretched his tentacles to the eastern coastal areas, preparing to win over those very dangerous eastern pirates who believe in pagan gods."

The Naga priest was silent.

After staying in place for a while, she turned around and walked outside the Ocean Temple.

The Naga Guard seemed a little surprised, raised his hand to stop her, but retracted it and lowered his head: "Your Excellency is really going to meet the cutthroat in person? After all, he is a human being, an outsider!"

Priest Naga stopped and turned to look at him, expressionless: "Then what can we do now?"

"If I don't go out to meet him in person, I'll lose my last ally. The Sharkman lost a lot in the fight against the Swamp King. The Naga Royal Family began to trumpet my influence within the group, and the Ocean Goddess was temporarily unable to respond. My prayers. Even you, who I thought was trustworthy, still disappointed me in the end."

"Instead, it's an outsider who is a human, and it surprises me time and time again!"

"If he didn't kill the Swamp King this time, my next situation would be even more embarrassing. You trash is useless at all, and you actually watched Asrod take away the wealth of Alcatraz."

Naga Guard's face was ugly, and there was a hint of shame, and he whispered: "It's me who is incompetent. But after all, he is one of the three major pirate kings on the south coast. With my strength, I can't change the situation at that time."

The Naga priest did not speak.

She just had a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth. There seemed to be a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The Naga guard hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Sir Priest. If you go out to meet him in person, it means that the Ocean Temple officially recognizes his identity. His status will become equal to yours, if you add him to kill him. The pirate force conquered by the Queen of the Dead Swamp, I am afraid he can become the new pirate king!"

"This will make him even more uncontrollable! ... The situation on the South Coast will change dramatically because of him in the future! ..."

The Naga priest glanced at him when he heard the words, and said slowly: "Don't I go to meet him in person, won't the situation on the south coast change dramatically? You are all about to move, even you don't have yourself in your heart. Careful thinking? I may have been a little narrow-minded in the past, but now I see one thing clearly. That is, he has more investment value and potential than you!"

"You can kill the Swamp King in that situation."

"Maybe I was really wrong when I wanted to completely control him. This kind of person can't be completely controlled. He is entitled to an equal status with me."

"Besides."

"If I don't meet him in person now, doesn't he have the strength to become the new pirate king?".

"He gathered nearly a thousand pirates in just three days. And more and more pirates all over the south coast want to defect to him, because he killed the swamp king, he proved his strength, which is even stronger than The traitor Asrod is stronger. You think he has the power of victory now. What did you bring the corpse and head of the Swamp King?"

"He just wants to force me to compromise, to force me to bow my head and admit that he has an equal status with me."

"If I don't bow my head to meet him in person, he could be my enemy. It's all because of my mistakes. I mistrusted Asrod, and I mistrusted you. I won't make that mistake again. For the second time, go back to the deep-sea canyon of the Naga tribe. Since you are hesitant and can't give everything to the goddess of the sea, then go back to the deep-sea canyon."

The Naga priest turned his head and said with a cold expression: "Next time, I will not be merciful to you again. You have disappointed me too much."

"My brother."

"You should make your own choice, don't force me to kill you myself!..."

Dead silence.

When the Naga priest finished speaking, her eyes were already cold, and she looked at the Naga guard in front of her as if she was looking at a potential enemy. Her figure left the Ocean Temple, and when she raised the scepter in her hand, the temple warriors guarding near the Ocean Temple gathered, wearing heavy heavy armor and holding a unified trident, it was not just their Weapons are also a symbol of reliance, because at this moment, the Naga priests coming out to meet Sauron in person has a special meaning.

The crowd in front of them separated like a tide.

More than 30 temple guards clear the way ahead, and the Naga priest marches towards the pier with a solemn expression. People who see her along the way, whether they believe in the goddess of the sea or not, can't help but bow their heads slightly to express their awe. Because she represents the oldest force in Port Taro, the Sea Temple is heavier than any other force in Port Taro. Naga priests rarely appear outside because of their race, so this time in person is even more noticeable, especially when there are so many pirates gathered around the port.

The dark crowd moved away from both sides.

The Naga priest stared at the battleship in front of her with a serious expression. She saw the dragon-headed battleship of the Swamp King, the stitched corpse, and seven or eight large battleships, as well as a large number of pirate clippers. Such a force is almost capable of threatening the security of Port Taro. After all, there are not too many guards in any city in this era. It takes too many resources to train professional warriors. Those who usually farm, train in their spare time, and possess certain fighting skills can only be regarded as militiamen in this world.

All principalities in the South Coast region.

The total number of regular troops is less than 200,000 people, but if the militia is pulled out as soldiers, the number can skyrocket to more than 2 million.

Even the regular garrison of Port Taro is actually only 800 people.

In the entire south coast area, as well as the west coast area, the conventional army in many cities is only three to five thousand people. The man in front of him has accumulated such a background unconsciously, and he has already represented the rise of a new force.

"Your Mightiness!"

The Naga priest bent down slightly, and she could hear the uproar behind her. Knowing more about his honorable title of bowing his head will make the man in front of him have a high reputation, and thoroughly prove and stabilize the status he has now. If possible, the Naga priest would never bow to Sauron, but if she didn't bow her head now, it would mean losing a powerful ally. She has to make compromises and concessions, and even just coming out to greet the other party in person may not be able to satisfy the man in front of her.

Because the Naga priest saw a ray of light in his eyes!

That is ambition.

He definitely has big ambitions in his heart.

This discovery made the Naga priest feel a little bitter, because she felt like she had missed an important opportunity. If she hadn't pushed so hard at first, she would have shown her sincerity to a greater extent. Put more resources into the man in front of you, maybe it won't be the situation now.

But it's already a bit late!

If she had given it all in the past, then it was her gift, a condescending reward.

But now it's different.

Now the man in front of her is forcibly demanding all this from her. He thinks he deserves everything, that is to say, even if she pays a small price, what she gets in return is only to restore mutual trust and friendship.

………………

Sauron stood on the leading battleship.

He stared at the Naga priest who was bowing his head in front of him, and at the same time at the crowd of people talking behind him. At this time, his face became a little better. At least the Naga priests in front of them are not stupid enough to know that they should pay a certain price at this time to restore mutual trust and cooperation.

but!

This alone is not enough.

How could Sauron reveal what happened just because the other party came out to greet him in person. You must know that the pirate king 'Asrod' stole the spoils he deserved and looted the wealth of the Devil's Island controlled by the swamp king. Just this little price can only prove that the other party still has plans to continue cooperation and negotiation with him. If he really wants to let Sauron give up his former suspicion, he must show real benefits.

It's not that he will be so confused that he doesn't know people from east, west, north and south just because the other party is holding him.

Sauron's expression was cold.

It may be because he has experienced a lot during this time, and unconsciously his acting skills have also improved, especially after encountering so many difficult opponents.

Seeing Sauron's indifferent expression, the Naga priest couldn't help but shudder.

Because she realized that she didn't bleed a lot this time, I'm afraid she couldn't restore the trust of both parties. The current situation is already a little difficult to ride a tiger, and she has already come out to meet Sauron, so no matter whether the two of them negotiate or not, in the end, Sauron has been recognized, and his status has been close to that of other pirate kings.

Thinking of this, the Naga priest could not help but grit his teeth, approached Sauron, and handed something over.

"The Swamp King is dead!"

Although the heart is very painful, the Naga priests are still the same on the surface. The priests are all people with certain performance skills, otherwise they would not be able to preside over a temple. She glanced at Sauron, then glanced at the nearby pirates, and said in a solemn and awe-inspiring tone: "Your Excellency killed the enemy of the Ocean Goddess!... The Ocean Goddess will be happy to give Your Excellency a reward!"

"Please accept it."

"This represents our friendship, and it also means that we will join forces to destroy other enemies!  …"

For a moment.

Sauron's indifferent expression changed like a spring breeze and snow, because the Naga priest in front of him gave him a compensation that he couldn't refuse. Even when the other party's words revealed the intention of re-alliance, he nodded in agreement without hesitation. Because the Naga priest handed him the control item of the ghost ship 'Deathtalker', this was an irresistible temptation for Sauron, even more irresistible than the countess heiress with beauty and wealth.

Death Whisperer!

A quasi-legendary ghost ship.

As the core combat power of several battles, Sauron is too aware of the value of this ghost ship.
