Chapter 294 - 67: Naga Empire (Part 2)
The growth of a Legendary Giant Dragon cannot go unnoticed.
If it really remains unknown, then there is only one possibility—the dragon has just broken through to Legendary, and it was quietly developing before achieving this, which is understandable.
"The Third Princess’s speculation is far from the reality, isn’t it..." Angela was somewhat numb.
"Speak, what business do you have seeing the king?" Udi said indifferently.
.....
After a round of exchange, the Naga Envoy Team left the territory of the Fish People.
On the throne of the great hall, Udi pondered, still thinking about the words of that Four-armed Naga Envoy.
"Form an alliance representing the Naga Empire’s Third Princess with me? Seeking my support?"
Udi thought for a moment and felt that things were not simple.
This feels like a power struggle, doesn’t it?
The Naga Third Princess acts as the ambitious ruler vying for power.
And here Udi plays the role of a ’wild powerhouse’ suddenly entering the Third Princess’s view, coming from a remote area?
"But I’m being underestimated here, right? Not coming personally is one thing, but sending over a Four-armed Naga who hasn’t even reached Legendary is another." Udi thought to himself, feeling a bit displeased.
After all, he considered himself to be at least a BOSS now.
Seeing something off in his master’s expression, Fishman Leader Fitz quickly explained,
"That’s how the Naga Empire is; they rule over the sea area of a hundred thousand miles. Countless sea races are under their jurisdiction, generation after generation, having been accustomed to arrogance... However, this envoy was quite courteous to the master..."
Udi rolled his dragon eyes, thinking, isn’t it natural to be courteous given his sheer size here?
As he saw it, encountering a Black Dragon of his size should invoke respectful behavior as the norm, and this calm demeanor came from a Level 19 Naga Professional—is hardly considered courteous.
Even the Red Dragon Envoy, with an inherently arrogant nature, became respectful upon seeing Udi’s true form.
"Sea races, the Naga..." Udi muttered to himself.
He hadn’t outright agreed to the envoy’s alliance but rather exchanged a few vague, non-committal words, probing each other’s background.
Though neither side uncovered anything substantial.
Yet Udi felt that Angela would certainly report back on the situation to the Naga Third Princess or whatever she was called.
"It’s one thing for the land to be in turmoil, but it feels like the deep sea is about to become chaotic too,"
Udi sighed, looking at Fitz standing quietly beside him, and advised,
"Fitz, send some clever warriors into the sea area of the Naga Empire to see if they can uncover any useful information; we can’t be too passive."
"Yes, master," Fitz nodded in agreement.
After Udi left, Fitz quickly gathered a group of clever Fishman thieves, dividing them into dozens of teams, and they headed to the Naga Empire sea area on sea beast mounts raised by the tribe.
The sea area of the Naga Empire is vast, several hundred times larger than the sea area ruled by the current Sha Hua Fish People. Naturally, such a large area isn’t solely inhabited by the Naga race.
The Naga with ordinary bloodlines are numerous, but as they are a semi-immortal race, their reproductive ability is even weaker than that of humans.
In the Naga sea area, the predominant life forms are various sea races that have submitted to the Naga Empire, such as the Sha Hua Fishman, Crab Race, Shrimp Race, and various Fish Races.
The intelligent races in the sea are no less than those on land.
.....
In the boundless deep sea, a massive whale shark demon several tens of meters long swims swiftly, with a large water bubble on its broad back.
Inside the water bubble is the Four-armed Naga named Angela.
Behind her, two towering male Naga snake monsters silently guard her.
It was the third day since they left the coastal Fish People territory.
Why not use a Teleportation Spell?
Good question.
Because the Naga cannot learn magic.
Female Naga are naturally endowed with various Natural Superpowers, while male Naga naturally possess keen close combat instincts and robust physique.
Their talents afford them high starting points, but also preclude them from becoming casters.
On the fourth day, Angela finally returned to the sea area of the Naga Empire, urging the somewhat fatigued whale shark demon to speed up.
Soon, Angela stopped before a magnificent underwater palace.
Patrolling around the palace, each team of powerful male Naga exuded a formidable presence; the occasional aura they emitted was of Master-level.
Here, Advanced-level Professionals were everywhere, and Master-level Professionals were also commonplace.
Even the Emperor’s Palace of the most powerful human force, the Ryan Empire, couldn’t boast such luxurious guard arrangements.
The guards around moved forward cautiously as they saw someone approaching, but upon seeing Angela, they immediately smiled,
"Oh, it’s Commander Angela, you...."
"Move aside, I have urgent matters!" Angela dismissed them casually, striding quickly into the palace.
Leaving the guards speechless, looking at each other.
"It’s the first time I’ve seen Commander Angela so anxious... Has something big happened?" a guard whispered.
The guard captain glared at his subordinate, scolding, "Don’t talk nonsense!"
After his subordinates fell silent, the Master-level guard captain couldn’t help but glance towards the palace, also secretly speculating on what could have caused the powerful Commander Angela to lose her composure.
Commander Angela wasn’t an ordinary Level 19 Professional; as a Four-armed Naga, she naturally possessed a powerful superpower, her strength standing at the pinnacle of Pseudo-Legendary Powerhouses. At the same time, she was one of Princess Third’s most trusted maids.
Inside the palace, lavishly adorned with gemstones, crystals, and pearls, Angela met the Third Princess.
With long, flowing blue hair, the Third Princess sat elegantly on her throne, wearing a fur shoulder guard over her upper body, her lower body’s dark blue snake tail slowly undulating.
The Third Princess’s appearance was such that one glance would induce a sense of coldness, aloof beauty, and captivating appeal.
A pink-blue crown atop her head added a touch of majesty.
"Angela, what happened? Did that Black Dragon refuse?" the Third Princess asked indifferently, seemingly unconcerned.
She had the right to be unconcerned.
She herself ranked among the top few in terms of strength within the Naga Empire; Ordinary Legendary Powerhouses weren’t even a match for her in one round.
The number of Legendary subordinates who swore loyalty and allegiance to her exceeded a handful.
Her supportive Legendary allies even surpassed two handfuls.
Therefore, losing a newly ascended Legendary Black Dragon ally wasn’t something to overly worry about.
"Your Highness, that’s not it, the Black Dragon Lord didn’t refuse us, but..." After Angela’s explanation, the previously indifferent expression of the Naga Third Princess changed slightly, becoming a bit serious.
"Really? Are you sure?" The Third Princess seemed unable to sit still.
Angela nodded without hesitation, saying, "I’m sure."
The Third Princess’s brow furrowed slightly, entering deep thought.
Moments later, she made a decision,
"Alright, Angela, take a lavish gift to see the Black Dragon King, and try to invite him to my palace...."
Angela carefully listened to the command of Princess Third, and finally nodded.
For the sake of efficiency, Princess Third thought for a moment and looked at the purple-haired Four-armed Naga maid beside her, saying,
"Daya, you go with Angela."
"Yes, Your Highness." The purple-haired Four-armed Naga maid named Daya nodded slightly.
Her innate superpower was Space Teleportation, as long as the destination was known, even if it was shrouded in a barrier, her superpower could directly penetrate and enter.
In certain situations, when utilized well, this superpower could be extraordinarily terrifying.
Princess Third rarely sent Daya out, cherishing this maid significantly and dreading any accidents that might befall her.
