$1420 Admiration
After leaving the laboratory, Raymond returned to his cabin and began to practice in seclusion.
Because he believed that the extremely cold air in his body could not be expelled, he gave up the idea of using the resources in his hands to expel it. Instead, he used various resources and potions to strengthen his body and increase the accumulation of energy in his body, so that he could reach the fourth level of the Phantom Festival as soon as possible.
While he was in the laboratory, Manda, who had always been well-behaved and careful, worked with Kai to transform a room in the cabin into a bathhouse, allowing him to relieve the coldness of his body in a bath that could be heated for a long time.
So when he returned to the cabin, he was greeted by such a surprise. The pool with heated bottom became his resting place.
Even if the full pool of hot water could not raise his body temperature above zero degrees, it was enough to properly control the cold breath surrounding him, allowing the Naga sisters to stay by his side for a long time without being eroded by the cold air.
But this method only allowed the two of them to get close but still not touch his body, otherwise the extreme cold contained in his body would still cause them to be frostbitten.
But even so, the Naga sisters were very happy. At least they didn't need to avoid him like before, and they could accompany Raymond again, enjoying the extremely warm time without touching each other.
And this time did not last too long. The storm that had been raging in the blue sea for two months finally weakened and dissipated.
After the rain, the sky cleared up, and the warm sunshine shone on the sea surface. The restored tranquil sea surface was like a huge sapphire.
But the Nagas living in the blue sea did not rejoice for too long because of the bright sunshine and the restoration of peace in the sea. They fell into sadness because the old patriarch Nancy, who was loved by them, was on his deathbed.
Because there was still extreme cold in his body that could not be driven away. So Raymond was not willing to meet many people at this time, but Nancy, who was running out of time, still invited him to leave the hut and come to the sacrificial hall again.
"Lord Raymond, I am about to leave the tribe forever. I have learned that you have many potion formulas, so I have to invite you here at this time..." Nancy, who started to talk with an apologetic tone as soon as they met, but whose body had already begun to decay, directly brought up the topic, still hoping that he would not let any formula spread out. The reason was simple. Although many formulas belonging to the three tribes were concealed, some materials in some formulas can actually be replaced by the blood, skin, organs and even bones of some tribesmen in the three tribes. Seeing that Raymond was still confused, Nancy smiled bitterly. "I don't know how you got these formulas, but Rossetti told me these secrets when she visited me. These secrets should not have been known to me. But Rossetti was afraid that you didn't know, so she asked me to persuade her..."
"So it means that these concealed formulas are known to some beings as to their real sources of materials?"
"Yes, some sea tribes living in the deep sea know these formulas..."
Nancy didn't say it completely, but Raymond already understood the reason.
The formulas owned by the Shadow House have been stored in the vast library of its headquarters, so it is not clear what they really mean.
But the sea tribes living in the sea with the three tribes including Naga know the secrets of these formulas in their tribe. So even though Rossetti was extremely nervous, she still didn't choose to meet him for a detailed discussion. Instead, she gave the power to tell or not to Nancy, the old patriarch of the Naga tribe in the blue sea, and let her decide how to deal with it.
"Lord Raymond, I invited you here because of Sharonna. I hope you can be reserved and restrained after learning the truth..."
The old patriarch Nancy moved her body with difficulty to salute Raymond, which made Raymond very emotional and moved.
The Naga tribe living in the Azure Sea is currently facing the strong rise of the Red Sea Naga. The foreseeable future is that the Azure Sea will lose its original autonomy and need to accept the rule and jurisdiction of the Red Sea Naga.
But when faced with this important secret involving the three tribes, Nancy, as the old patriarch of the Blue Sea Naga, did not worry about the future of her tribe, but used Sharonna's relationship to seek his promise.
The act of putting the interests of the three tribes above the people of the Azure Sea immediately won Raymond's admiration.
But going to the underworld is also a very important thing for him, so Raymond said after thinking for a while. "I can promise not to spread these formulas, but the premise must be that the Siren tribe can help me go to the underworld without reservation!" "Regarding your going to the underworld, I believe that you will be satisfied in the end, but I really can't give you any advice or help on what the underworld is like, but I hope you can be more careful and wish you all the best..." The communication ended here. Raymond also checked Nancy's physical condition after obtaining her consent.
Nancy, who only has the strength of the Dawn level, has no hidden disease, but has no hope.
However, Nancy, who takes life and death very lightly, does not value herself. The joy in her expression after he agreed made Raymond understand that the promise he made before was far more important to Nancy than the continuation of her life.
Putting the interests of the tribe first and considering the future of the tribe as his responsibility, such a tribe leader should be respected and loved.
After Raymond said goodbye and left, he welcomed the visit of Sharonna and Hyas in his hut.
Sharonna, who gradually adapted to life in the blue sea, has a more mature mentality although she still has a childish look between her eyebrows.
Hyas, however, is very depressed because his mother's death is coming and he is sad.
So after entering the hut and sitting down, Sharonna still took the lead. "Lord Raymond, is your body fit to go to the underworld?"
"There should be no problem, but the sooner you set off, the better." Raymond's answer was cautious because he didn't know the reason.
"Although the Naga tribe of the Azure Sea has settled here for a long time, the resources around are not particularly rich, but we can still provide some convenience and help before you set off..."
Salena pushed a list over while speaking, her expression full of apology.
Raymond, who picked up the list to check, became serious, because what was listed on this list was obviously the inventory of the Naga tribe in the Azure Sea.
After Raymond finished reading the list, Sharena continued. "These are the only savings of the tribe over the years. If you need them, you can use them directly. In addition, there will be a trade fair held in Black Coconut Island in two months. Many sea tribes will bring their business trips to participate. If you are interested, you can go and have a look..."
"Trade fair? Held by the sea tribe?"
"Yes, because the vast sea area is quite inconvenient to trade, so Black Coconut Island, which is ten days away from here, was designated as the venue for this trade, but it is still limited to the sea tribe and other tribes living in the sea area!"
Salena's explanation confused Raymond. Although this place is not in the deep sea and the resources produced are not particularly rich, the high-quality treasures produced in the sea area are still particularly sought after by human wizards, so he immediately asked. "Why are people outside the sea area not allowed to participate?"
Raymond's questioning made Sharena turn her eyes to Hayas. Hayas, who had been very depressed, hesitated for a while before mumbling. "Mother once mentioned that a long time ago, such trade fairs welcomed outsiders, but because of a robbery by outsiders, they are no longer welcome to participate..." (To be continued...)
