"The brand of the priest... the brand of the priest!"
Muttering to herself, Strina stayed for a moment, then suddenly rushed out of the house, knocking things down the ground along the way, and half of the door was knocked down.
Immediately afterwards, the entire valley trembled, echoing Stryna's angry screams.
The girl moved towards the door in panic, trying to catch up with her sister, but because she couldn't see, she tripped over something underground. Chen Rui frowned, helped up the Naga girl who only had the strength of a high-level demon, and walked out the door step by step.
I saw that most of the hillside in front had collapsed, and the ground was full of criss-cross exaggerated deep grooves, which seemed to be traces cut by knives. Amidst the flying sand and stones, the six-armed figure roared to the sky, and the cry was full of Angry and sad.
"Sister..." The girl's body seemed to have lost the strength to support her body, she could only rely on Chen Rui's support to barely fight, and tears fell drop by drop from her dim blue eyes.
From the previous words and deeds, Chen Rui vaguely guessed something, which was completely different from the guesses he had made before he came here, such as fighting for power and power. Seeing Streina's grief and indignation for his sister, he inexplicably thought of a certain imperial palace. sister in
Strina's roar suddenly stopped, and her eyes fell on a figure appearing in the valley. That body influenced the majestic voice: "Streina, shouldn't you stay on Baita Island? Who allowed you to go back to Razer Island?"
This voice came from a tall Naga, wearing a black armor and a golden crown on his head. His face that should have been beautiful was cold and stern, giving people a chilling feeling. It should be Naga Queen of the clan.

"Master Patriarch!" The young girl Adeline quickly wiped away her tears, showing a respectful expression, folded her hands on her chest, and saluted deeply.
"Mother!" Strina did not salute, but looked directly at Queen Naga, and shouted excitedly: "Tell me! Why Adeline will be the chief priest of tomorrow's sea festival! Why did you send your own daughter to death!"
"Streina! You have to call me Lord Patriarch or Your Highness Modesty!" Queen Naga said coldly, "In fact, you already know the answer to your question! Survival of the fittest and the survival of the strong are the traditions of the Naga clan, let alone in the This dangerous black sea area!"
Streina growled fearlessly: "Do you want to watch Adeline be swallowed by that monster! Isn't she your own daughter?"
"Because she is my daughter, this rule must be followed!" Queen Naga glanced at Adeline solemnly, "The fate of the Naga clan is in jeopardy, a Naga without fighting talent, a Naga who even Naga, who doesn’t even have the will to fight, how can she protect herself? What can she use to fight? Use that ridiculous harp? She is already doomed to be eliminated!”
Streina shouted hysterically: "She doesn't need to fight! I can protect her! You can too! Why don't you want to do this! If you don't even have the ability to protect your own daughter! How can you protect your tribe? You don't deserve to be this Mother! You are not worthy to be the patriarch!"
Modesty's complexion suddenly darkened, and a terrifying aura quickly filled the entire valley: "Whether I am worthy of being a mother or not is not up to you, a daughter, to judge. Without me, you don't even have life." There will be! As for the patriarch... Aren't you the heir? According to tradition, as long as you can beat me, the position of patriarch will be yours! At that time, I don't care who you want to sacrifice the survival rules and destiny of the entire Naga clan to protect. Already!"
With a sound of "swipe", Strina's six arms had six more long and narrow scimitars at the same time, and her powerful fighting spirit was surging to the peak in an instant, and her angry eyes were tightly locked on Queen Naga.
"I'm going to challenge you now!"
"Very good!" Modesty smiled coldly, and slowly drew out two scimitars with both hands at the front, "Let me see how far you have reached. Or let my knife tell you, What is stupidity, what is self-deprecating!"
Strina's momentum soared, and the snake's body vibrated, and she appeared in front of Modesty's eyes almost instantly.
Chen Rui beside Adeline could only see the lights of knives all over the sky. In the blink of an eye, Strina slashed at least 200 knives. Not only the speed, but also these high-speed knives turned into arcs, lifting Modeste to the ground. Up and down, front, back, left, right, left, right, all directions are sealed, as if the space is split. There are countless rear moves hidden in the arc, unless Modesti waits to be stabbed without moving, otherwise, as long as she moves, it will trigger a chain strangulation of all the sword lights.
Facing the mother whose strength has reached the peak of the devil emperor and is also the strongest in the clan, Strina went all out when she came up, without holding back a bit.
Chen Rui, who saw the mystery contained in the light of the knife, was secretly heartbroken. If he was facing this blow, he could only use teleportation to escape the range of the light of the knife or use a protective cover to block it hard, and then tried to fight back.
In this "unable to move" situation, Modesty moved inexplicably. Then, slash to the left and slash to the right.
On the surface, it seems that the scimitar in both hands is simply waved, but in Chen Rui's feeling, these "simple" two knives contain a mysterious and incomparable rhythm. The fine brushwork was dipped in a large amount of ink, and the entire artistic conception, including the hidden back strokes, was completely destroyed. Not only that, this large piece of ink also forcibly "dye" the style of meticulous brushwork into freehand brushwork.
As the knife flashed, those "arcs" broke one after another, Streina's figure staggered backwards, and countless dense bloodstains appeared on her body.
Just, two knives.
This is not just a difference in pure strength, but a huge gap in realm. It is also a sword, and it is also Naga's talent martial arts six-swords style. Strina has practiced this kind of sword skill a thousand times, like an object that has been manufactured countless times. You can understand it with your eyes closed. However, in the hands of Modesty, Six Swords Style is more like a piece of work. The object can be repeated, but the work is unique.
What Streina mastered was the "skill" of the six-sword style, while Modesty has been sublimated to the level of "law". It can be said that this Queen Naga is the strongest weapon master since Chen Rui came to this world. Of course, no matter how strong Modesty's six-knife skill is, it can't break through the scope of the devil emperor, and it can't really compete with the nationalized respect-level powerhouses or even demigod powerhouses.
In the face of the "power" with an absolute gap, no matter how exquisite "skills" or "methods" are, they are futile.
However, for the current Strelina, Queen Naga is still an insurmountable moat.
"It's so ambitious! You can't use two knives, but you want to use six knives?" Modesty looked at Streina contemptuously.
Strina roared and rushed forward again.
"Have you even lost your composure? This kind of childish attack is simply worse than a child who has just awakened the six-sword style!"
"Flaws! All are flaws! Even if you try your best like this, you will only kill yourself first!"
"Glamourous! Too many extra moves!"
"..."
Under the sneering sneer of Queen Naga, Streina was knocked down again and again, climbed up again and again, and then was knocked down again...
The golden armor is already dilapidated, and the body is covered with blood-stained scars, some even reaching to the bone. If it weren't for the extremely strong body of the Naga clan, they would have died of serious injuries. This is because of the mercy of Modesty's men.
Chen Rui could see that although the battle was very cruel, Queen Naga did not really kill, but more of a trick, and many of the points pointed out were Streina's key shortcomings. It's a pity that a certain Naga sister has been dazzled by grief and anger, and only thinks about how to defeat her mother. Those pointers have become real ridicules in her ears.
Although Adeline couldn't see the battle situation, she could clearly hear what happened, but she didn't say anything to dissuade her, but tightly covered her mouth with tears streaming down her face, for fear that the sound of crying would disturb Strina.
The girl is well aware of her sister's character, and discouraging or crying will only make her lose her mind even more.
Finally, the exhausted Strina fell to the ground and couldn't get up anymore. It looked like she had passed out.
"How can you control the Naga clan if you can't even control how much weight you have?" Queen Naga didn't even look at her daughter who was seriously injured and unconscious. Looking at Chen Rui beside the girl.
Chen Rui was swept away by the cold eyes, and a chill came down his back, and he couldn't help shivering.
"Who are you? Why did you follow Streina here?"
Chen Rui quickly told Streina that she agreed to exchange the devil fruit for the safety of him and the crew. When Queen Naga heard the word "devil fruit", her eyes flashed, and she looked at the sobbing man again. Adeline immediately understood Strina's intentions.
"Mozu, I believe you have also seen that I will not show mercy to my daughter. If Strina is not the heir of the Naga clan, it will affect the future of the whole clan. I will execute her for the offense just now." Naga Queen Jia said indifferently: "Hand over the devil fruit now, or I will kill you and your companions immediately."
Chen Rui could tell that the ruthless queen could do what she said, and without hesitation, she took out a devil fruit. Queen Naga took the fruit, smelled it, and her eyes lit up immediately. Instead of taking it herself, she looked at Adeline, glanced at the harp lying on the ground in the house, pondered for a moment, then turned around, Go to the unconscious Streina.
Chen Rui saw it clearly, and Modesty bent down and stuffed the fruit into Strina's mouth. This action gave Chen Rui a strange feeling.
"His Royal Highness Queen Modesty, I have handed over the most important treasure, the Devil Fruit. According to the prior agreement, I have the right to ask Your Highness to fulfill my promise. Please let me and my crew survive."
A cold smile appeared on Modesty's face: "You have to be clear about two things. First, you may have an agreement with Strina, but it's not with me. I just asked you to hand over the fruit. Second , Even if I have a promise with you, it’s useless, because as a sacrifice for tomorrow’s sea festival, you no longer have any power, including the power to let me fulfill the promise. Come! Detain him!”
Two Naga warriors came up from outside the valley and grabbed Chen Rui's arms.
"Master Patriarch." Adeline said, "Please allow me to have a few words with this demon."
Modesty frowned slightly: "Three minutes."
Adeline came to Chen Rui based on her feeling, and bowed to him: "First of all, thank you for the fruit you brought, but... I'm sorry, I'm very sorry..."
Seeing the sadness and guilt from the girl's heart, Chen Rui didn't blame her, but just said: "My name is Agulie."
Adeline was a little surprised by Chen Rui's calmness, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My name is Adeline, and the tune you play is very nice, can you tell me my name?"
""Castle in the Sky"."
This is a piece that Chen Rui liked very much in his previous life. It was played by Master Hisaishi. I was bored at sea these days, so I finally recalled it and practiced hard. It was a small success. I wanted to give Isabella a piece. Surprised, but here is an opening.
"City in the Sky... Is there really a city floating in the sky?"
"Yes, as long as you have hope, it is in the air." Chen Rui glanced at Queen Naga and shrugged, "There is a saying in my hometown that life can be killed, but hope will always exist."
"Hope," Adeline nodded slightly, "Thank you..."
At this time, Modesty's calm voice interrupted the conversation between the two: "Three minutes are up! Demons, don't waste your time, even if you use sweet words to confuse my daughter, it's useless, she and you can't escape!" Same fate! Well, guards, take him away at once! And imprison Stryna too!"
Both Chen Rui and the unconscious Strina were taken down, Modesty turned around and walked a few steps, turned her back to Adeline and suddenly added: "Adeline, the brand of the priest cannot be lifted... You should understand."
"I understand, please tell my elder sister, the patriarch, don't be sad for me, everything is voluntary." Adeline lowered her head and bowed deeply to Modesy, "Also... please take care, the patriarch..."
Modesty stopped and turned her head slightly: "This is the last time, you can call my mother..."
Adeline still bowed her head, maintaining a salute posture, her body trembling slightly, but she didn't say a word.
Modesty's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak, she turned around and walked forward quickly.
At this time, the crystal clear teardrops that had been swirling in the eye sockets just now slipped from the cheeks of the girl who lowered her head, dripped into the ground, and disappeared.
