When Tisilis said this, she paused slightly, then looked at Fulia helplessly and said: "This is why my sister keeps leading teams to encircle and suppress me, and it is also why I left that place in the deep sea. The palace under the sea is the reason why it appears on the sea. Unfortunately, my luck seems to be not very good this time. I was originally chasing my other sister, but unexpectedly I ran into you and ended up becoming the prey of my sister. "
"You want me to help you assassinate your sister." Ryan asked,
"Oh, no, that's definitely not the case." Tisilis quickly vetoed: "Let a legendary mage with unlimited potential be an assassin, unless I have the luxury of having a legion composed entirely of legendary powerful men. Generally speaking, the more He is a powerful mage. The more time he needs to gather his magic power, why not put such a character on the frontal offensive and defensive battlefield instead of sacrificing him? This is really a waste."
"That's what you mean."
"It's like this. My mother, who is the contemporary Naga Queen, has a total of 19 successors. After so many years of intrigue, there are only 4 left. Among them, my sister Sadurina and I The strength is comparable. The troops I have are slightly stronger than hers, but I only have one legendary strongman here, while she has two. This makes me suffer a lot in small-scale conflicts. As for the other two sisters, It is already difficult for them to shake our position, but we will not attack them easily, because with their desperate resistance, our strength will be greatly compromised, which will cause a great conflict between me and my sister. The balance is broken."
"The battle between the heirs has reached this point, and it is difficult to use other means to fight each other. Unless a frontal, comprehensive, and unremitting war breaks out, it will be almost impossible to prove who is stronger between her and me. ." Tisilis explained: "Then according to our tradition, it is very likely that at the next celebration and sacrifice, my sister will propose a gladiatorial fight with me, because this method will not shake the foundation of our Naga rule. , in the duel field of the celebration and sacrifice, each side will send out three people, and my sister and I must appear as the successors of the royal family. The one who wins in the end will get the unconditional support of my mother and become the true successor."
"That is to say, because you lack a manpower in terms of top-level combat power, you want me to help you." Ryan was keenly aware of Tisilis's intention, so he asked: "Use foreigners to participate in this level of competition." Gladiatorial combat, do your rules allow it?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I bring it up." Tisilis said: "The two legendary strongmen under my sister, one is a shark-turned-fishman, and the other is a magician of unknown race. It is said that it He is a lich who has abandoned his body, but in the past few years, except for my sister, everyone who has seen him has died."
"Lich." Ryan and Freya looked at each other, and they were a little surprised. If this lich was sent by the Undead Army, it was like Catherine who had been reversed and turned into a human. Then wouldn't it mean that the layout of the Undead Army Is it far beyond imagination? If Sadurina, who is close to the undead army, is really allowed to rule the Naga tribe, then threats from the ocean may soon arrive, just like those damn half-demon people.
"Let me think about it first." Ryan did not refuse Tisilis, but he did not immediately agree to her, because Ryan could not judge how true Tisilis's words were. Maybe she wanted to deceive her. He deliberately made it up to join, so Ryan said to Tisiris: "I will rush to our human capital soon. If you are willing, I can take you with me."
"I understand." Tisilis knew in her heart that her words could not gain the other party's trust very well. After all, everything was said by her, and there was no way to use facts to prove it. However, Ryan did not refuse on the spot. It shows that she still has a great chance. It depends on her luck next.
"Then, you can take a rest first. If you need anything, please tell my guards directly." Queen Fulia stood up and said: "While you are in Cassano, your safety will be guaranteed by us, but in order to avoid News of your arrival leaked..."
"Don't worry, I have a way to ensure this." Tisilis twisted her body and said: "But I need a teacher to teach me the language. If you can arrange a reasonable identity for me, it will be safer. ”
"Okay, I will arrange it." Fulia nodded and agreed.
After arranging people to secretly send Tisilis away, Ryan sat in silence for a long time on the chair. Fulia sat next to him and asked in a low voice: "What, are you going to agree to her request?"
"Since the demigod lich can send Catherine to come among us, why can't it send another guy to the Naga tribe." Ryan asked Fulia,
Fulia nodded and said: "The possibility is very high, but can you be sure of what she said."
"I'm sure..." Ryan said with a strange smile on his face: "I'm sure that only half of what she just said is untrue. I bet that Tisilis appeared on the sea. It is definitely not that simple, and her strength cannot be nearly the same as her sister. I guess the most likely situation is that she must add the power of allies to compete with her sister, and now her ally It was a little unreliable, so she took the risk to come to us. Besides, she asked us to open the portal for her first, and then she fulfilled her promise to us. If she returned to her territory safely and refused to fulfill her promise, wouldn't we? Chasing her for thousands of miles will not work, Fuliya, a covenant without sincerity is meaningless."
Freya also smiled: "Ryan, you are becoming more and more like a real lord. The current situation is that Tisilis urgently needs our help, because the celebration and sacrifice she said will start soon. , and her strength is not enough to gain the upper hand in the gladiatorial battle of celebrations and sacrifices, and even the chance of winning is very low. As for us, even if that Sadurina obtains the ruling throne of the Naga tribe, even if she will be dispatched It may have been ten years since a huge army attacked us. There are some natural barriers between the continent and the ocean, which cannot be built overnight."
"That's the only way." Ryan nodded and replied,
Tisilis's visit was just a small episode for the busy Cassano. Except for a very few people such as Ryan, others had no idea that a Naga royal woman had visited the human race. Territory, and also became a guest of Cassano Overlord Ryan. Tisiris' language talent is quite good. It only took three days to learn simple human language, which can barely be used for daily communication. As for her new identity, it was even simpler. Freya directly concocted a non-existent female elf identity for her, and Tisiris became a member of Freya's personal bodyguards.
On the seventh day after Tisiris arrived in Cassano, which was also the fourth day after she learned human language, when she was stammering and talking to Ryan in the newly learned language, Clifford from Moon Moon City The others arrived at Iron Fist Castle. Less than a day later, Chilaviv from Free Paradise also arrived here. These two will represent their city and the Imperial City Alliance respectively.
Originally, the most convenient and simplest route from the south of the mainland to Fernando City in the north was through Seike City. However, now this city that originally belonged to Senat has fallen into the hands of the Undead Legion, and the Undead Legion is still fighting with them. A fortress made entirely of bones was built in the small town of Mori on the border where the imperial capital meets, so Clifford and the others had to go around in a big circle and change the route to Cassano to go north.
Regarding this extremely reasonable reason, the only thing Ryan could do was to smile bitterly in his heart. He was no longer the innocent boy he was when he first left his hometown. Why couldn't he see that Clifford and the others had safety considerations in doing this? But in fact, the biggest intention is to release a message towards the Imperial Capital. Although several forces in the southern part of the mainland are not as powerful as the Imperial Capital, they will unite around Cassano, plus the troops already stationed in Cassano. The elves and the dwarves who migrated here collectively, Cassano has inevitably become the spokesperson of various forces in the southern part of the continent. Although the combined strength of everyone is still not as good as the Imperial Capital, it can barely compete with the Imperial Capital.
However, Ryan did not say a word, because he had already thought of a way to deal with it, which was to send his parents and only son to the imperial capital to live with his wife Farasi for a period of time. Of course, Ryan did not He thinks this is an act of giving someone an excuse, because Faras is his wife, and taking care of his parents is a natural thing. Besides, he has no ambition at all to play tricks like autonomy in the southern part of the mainland. At the same time, Ryan also knows very well that Clay Ford and the others are not really close to themselves because they worship themselves. It is their overwhelming legendary power that forces them to make such a choice. Don't forget that whether it is Mochizuki City or Freedom Paradise, they all once had to be in Lane. Having groaned under the magic, yesterday's enemies can certainly become today's friends, but who can guarantee that they will not become tomorrow's enemies again
No matter what power or hegemony, they are far less important to Ryan than family and friendship. Therefore, Ryan finally made this seemingly cowardly choice. However, if anyone really thought that Ryan was afraid of something, they would be completely wrong. From his perspective, Since leaving home, anyone who has despised Ryan has finally tasted the bitter pill that is hard to swallow, and most of them will never have the chance to correct their mistakes. For Ryan, this trip to the imperial capital is It is a game of balancing interests. It is absolutely impossible for the various forces in the southern part of the continent to leave the imperial capital. However, Ryan will not sit back and watch the imperial capital forcibly annex them. Since the current situation of the continent is like this, then it might as well let it continue like this. As for what will happen in the future. Let time decide how to develop.
