Chapter 146 The Red Dragon Duchess
The arrival of Gloria made Sauron's power stronger!
No one can ignore a powerful high-ranking witch, let alone she is the real power of the witch council and has a territory of her own. About Gloria's information, it is basically impossible to hide it from others, after all, she has ruled a city in the Northland for nearly ten years. Gloria had reached a high level ten years ago (witch occupation level 15 and above), but only recently touched the threshold of a legendary witch (witch occupation level 18 and above).
The further the wizard goes, the slower the speed of strength improvement, Sauron is completely different!
The lifespan of legendary witches is quite long, far longer than that of any melee professional, so they also have many requirements for choosing a mate, otherwise they are still in their prime, and their mate may already be very old. In terms of lifespan, legendary melee-type professionals are at a disadvantage. It may be because too much bleeding and injuries consume a lot of life energy before advancing. The lifespan of legendary melee-type professionals is only one-third of that of spellcasting systems, and sometimes it may not be enough. to a lifespan of two hundred years.
Goliath chose Sauron because of his potential. Legendary and non-legendary people belong to two worlds.
………………
Ocean Temple.
After sending Sauron and Gloria away, the face of the Naga priest suddenly turned cold.
"Call the deep sea hunter!"
The sea priest stood in front of the goddess statue with a scepter in his hand, and ordered to the servants beside him: "Immediately let people spread the news about Gloria, and Asrod must know it as soon as possible. In this way, he will feel scared." Frightened, it is very likely that Sauron will be eliminated first at all costs, and even let the Naga royal family launch a conspiracy in advance, otherwise he is doomed to be defeated in the end!"
"As long as a war breaks out between them, Sauron's strength will definitely be weakened!"
"He has already mastered most of the interests of the overseas archipelago. I must weaken his strength and then control the power that belongs to the ocean, so that I can be eligible to compete for the position of high priest!"
"I have a hunch that the goddess will soon have a new oracle, and only the high priest is the closest to the god."
A trace of hidden ambition emerges.
Priest Naga turned around and entered the pool in front of the temple, a wave of divine power poured into her body, and then her azure skin gradually became transparent, and something like scales could be faintly seen falling off. This is the power of faith gathered by the Ocean Temple. Ever since she was rewarded by the Goddess of the Sea with a trace of divinity, she can try to absorb these powers. The divine power gathered in the Ocean God Temple is changing her little by little, and eventually she will completely break away from the scope of mortal things, she may become a chosen saint, and she may also have the opportunity to step into a higher realm.
But everything must be done by her first suppressing those evil-hearted guys in the Naga clan!
Distorted shadows emerge from the water.
A creature whose specific shape could not be seen clearly, but full of terrifying aura appeared, hidden in the sea water under the temple. He expresses his emotions with a strange voice.
The Naga priest took off his priestly robe, glanced at the blurred deep-sea hunter, and said slowly: "Pay attention to those restless Naga royal family, as long as there is any change, you will immediately open the prison door of the abyss."
"Let the goddess' pet grant them relief!"
Speaking of this, a cruel smile appeared on the bewitching face of the Naga priest.
The indistinct black shadow gradually faded away. You can feel its body twisting and walking in the sea water. Although you can't perceive its shape, you can feel the dangerous aura on it, which is a terrifying predator aura.

Eastern route.
An island near the eastern trade junction area. This is a transfer station similar to Tyro Port, and it is also the site of the pirate king Asrod.
"What did you say?"
A man with a gloomy face was listening to the report of his subordinates. With a grim face, he said, "He actually recruited a high-ranking witch? How is this possible? How could the extremely proud witches of the North have a crush on a mere pirate king? Could it be that the Witch Council is planning to intervene in the South Coast? No! What about the Witch Council? It may be for the interests of the South Coast! This is the territory of the Ocean God Temple!..."
"Damn it!"
"I knew from the beginning that I had to go all out to kill that throat cutter!...I didn't expect him to grow so fast!..."
"no!"
"Immediately send someone to contact the Duchess of the Principality of Rossard!... Last time she was attacked by the Ocean Temple in the overseas islands, the Duchess of the Red Dragon suffered the most!... She must also hate the throat-cutter To the bone!... She is definitely not willing to give up overseas interests so easily, maybe we can try to form an alliance with her!..."
Hearing his words, a half-Naga woman next to her who obviously didn't look like a human showed hesitation. Slowly said: "Your Excellency! The Duchess of the Red Dragon is now the enemy of the Ocean Temple. If we openly contact her, wouldn't it mean that we have violated the orders of the Ocean Temple! In that case, I am afraid that the Ocean Priest will take the opportunity to attack!"
The cold man frowned, looked up at her, and said slowly: "I can't care about that much anymore!"
"If we don't seek the help of the Red Dragon Duchess, the Naga royal family has no spare power to help us now, and we may not be able to withstand the joint attack of the Throat Cutter and the High-ranking Witch. He already held a grudge against us when he was dealing with the Swamp King! This time I have the Witch of the North as a helper, and I will definitely not let it go!"
"Come on."
"I want to write a letter to the Red Dragon Duchess!"

Overseas Islands routes.
Sauron didn't stay in Taylor Port for too long, and now the territory of the overseas islands is his foundation. So after dealing with some things for a short time, he led the fleet back to the camp in the overseas islands. But this time he brought back quite a lot of people. There were twelve ocean-going ships that he pulled over. This is thanks to the pirate king Asrod, because Sauron's men robbed his Eastern ocean-going fleet. , so Sauron was able to form such a large scale.
This time, a lot of goods were transported, and more than 800 people were brought over.
Among them, slaves from the mainland accounted for half of the number. Many of these slaves used to work in the mines, but due to some obvious reasons, they only recently fell into Sauron's hands. It has to be said that a group of villains are really efficient as subordinates, and Sauron's current batch of slaves can easily dilute the proportion of native slaves. The number of native slaves could not exceed the limit. Sauron had to acquire a group of continental slaves, and then slowly transform them into urban residents.
Everything can't be given for no reason, so they won't know how to cherish and be grateful. Sauron has many better plans.
Ocean sailing is pretty boring.
The flight lasted half a month, so that Sauron had to turn his energy to learning spells again, while groping for the secret of Teacher Gloria. With a high-ranking witch as a guide, Sauron can learn spell knowledge much faster, not to mention that he also has the innate specialties of [Extensive Knowledge] and [Education]. After basically learning the most commonly used part of the first ring of spells, Gloria suggested to Sauron not to continue learning, but to become familiar with them and increase the speed of casting spells.
In other words.
It was she who wanted Sauron to conduct in-depth research and rely on proficiency to master the combat specialty of [Proficient Casting].
Therefore, Sauron will keep memorizing spells in the next few days, and then keep casting spells after the memorization is completed, and continue to memorize after using up the spell slots, so as to obtain the specialty ability of [Proficient Casting].
About the third day of sailing.
A piece of data in Sauron's combat records showed that it was long overdue:
"Battle of the Stars [Legendary Battle]: In mid-January 1676 of the New Moon Era, when you went to the Northland to invite witches to the overseas islands, you accidentally encountered githyanki attacking the Northland Tower. In this legendary event , you chose to help the witches of the North against the githyanki, and finally killed an adult red dragon in the battle. This incident greatly improved your relationship with the witch council, and at the same time spread your reputation to the material A place outside the plane. However, because the Witch Council has strictly blocked news about battles in the astral world, your legend is only spread among the githyanki in the astral world. [Legendary degree +3]"
………………
It's been so long late.
When Sauron first joined [Sea Battle of the Betrayer], it took a lot of time to get the notification of fame, but it was not as long as this time. I don't know if the matter is over now, or because of the cross-plane battle. But Sauron obviously didn't have time to think about it so much now, he just glanced at it and put it aside, and concentrated on studying how to cast spells proficiently.
Have this travel experience in the astral world.
Sauron felt some of the mysteries of instant spell casting in advance, and at the same time got a reminder of [Proficient Casting].
Success is not far away from him, and he can feel that he is about to master this spell specialty.
Day by day passed.
When Sauron led the fleet to the overseas islands, people from the camp immediately came to welcome them.
At some point, a lighthouse had been built near the port. At this time, it had been more than a month since Sauron left, and the time had passed to the first ten days of February. According to the layout before Sauron left, the camp was extremely busy with construction work, and even a relatively simple wharf was built near the natural port. Then there is a five-meter-wide paved road, used for the transport of goods and passage, all the way to the east gate of the camp.
The fleet started busy unloading, and a lot of materials needed to be moved down.
Soran stared at the pier in front of him, and walked down holding Gloria's palm. Before they set foot on land, Vivienne in a white princess dress appeared in front of him.
"elder brother!"
The little girl yelled in joy, and then threw herself directly into Sauron's arms.
