1425 Transcendence

When the rapidly sailing ship approached Black Coconut Island, nightfall officially fell.

The team that arrived one day earlier than the scheduled time was considered relatively late, because there were already dotted camps on the beach.

Because they knew that the Naga from the Blue Sea would come, a Cancer Warrior came to greet the ship before it even approached, and then guided the ship to dock there.

And Raymond, who got off the boat with Sharona and others, saw the campsite provided by the crab clan after crossing the beach.

Unlike those participants who need to set up tents on the beach, the Naga clan in the blue sea has a very harmonious relationship with the Black Coconut Sea Crab clan, so they receive extra care. Their campsite is close to the main venue of the transaction. , you can see the main peak of Heiye Island from the top, and you can see the entire beach from the bottom, and the view is quite broad.

It's just that the leader of the crab clan who was responsible for the reception was a guy who was not good at words. After briefly explaining the precautions and time arrangements, he flatly refused the Nagas' attempts to stay and left directly with his subordinates.

During the break in the Anza camp, Raymond also learned the true situation of Black Coconut Island.

The Black Coconut Island seen on the ship seemed to be a natural island, but in fact what everyone was standing under was an extremely tall black coconut tree that had mutated.

The seabed here is already bulging, so when this mutated black coconut tree came out of the sea, its huge branches rose together with many corals and reefs. After thousands of years of accumulation, such a structure was formed. Huge island.

Because both Rossetti and Samuel had landed on the island for the first time, Sharona was particularly detailed in her introduction.

"And this black coconut tree is still growing. Therefore, the crab clan regards it as a sacred tree in the clan and will never allow outsiders to get close to its roots, let alone wanton destruction on this black coconut island..."

Thinking of the steep peak in the center of the island that I saw before. Rossetti, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but be a little surprised. "How can this black coconut tree grow so tall?"

"Well, the center of the island is considered a restricted area by the Crab Clan, and no one is allowed to enter without an invitation..."

At this point, she saw that the tents had basically been erected. Sharona stood up and pointed to the tree-lined avenue she had passed before. "The branches of the black coconut trees are not only dense but also extremely thick, so the Crabs only need to make simple piles to make the island look like a maze. The closer you get to the center of the island, the greater the impact, so please Notice!"

"I also feel that there is some kind of inexplicable restriction here. It's just that the Crab Clan has never had any strong people. Could it be that the Crab Clan here is an exception?"

Rossetti's question made Sharona a little confused, and Elder Nanaga, who came with her, intervened to explain. "I don't know about the restriction. Because after arriving on the island, you are no longer allowed to use perception for detection, so we in the blue sea cannot confirm..."

Rossetti, who said oh, stopped asking questions, but Raymond, who was sitting aside, couldn't let go because of Sharona's previous statement. He saw that the tent prepared for him had been set up. Then he got up and prepared to rest.

It was only when he came to the tent and opened the door curtain. The sound that erupted from the beach and the free energy that became chaotic in vain made him turn around and cast his gaze over.

The terrain gradually rises toward the inner island in a staircase shape, allowing the Nagas' campsite to clearly see everything on the beach. Before, there were only a few sparks on the beach, but now there are actually a bunch of Gundams burning. The bonfire was several meters away, allowing him to see the conflict taking place beside the bonfire.

A snail-like creature several meters tall was lying next to the bonfire, and several black shadows were quickly flying around it and attacking, and the clanking sound was like the sound of gold and iron. The sea tribes gathered around let out a sound of exclamation.

Naga elder Heloise, who happened to pass by Raymond's camp, stopped and smiled when she saw Raymond's move. "It was a duel between the sea tribesmen. It was probably caused by hermit crabs. It will be over soon after the cancer warriors arrive..."

"Hermit crab? Are there any other sea clans on the Crab clan's Black Coconut Island who dare to conflict with the Crab clan?"

Raymond's question made Naga elder Heloise smile and quickly add. "Although hermit crabs are members of the crab family, the crab family has an even less favorable impression of them, calling them despicable and shameless thieves. They will never take sides in conflicts caused by them, and will even take this opportunity to kill them. Drive away, so you see that hermit crab has been on the defensive all the time, just because it is afraid of hurting the other party and can't even participate in the trade fair..."

Following Naga Elder Heloise's explanation, Raymond, who had narrowed his sight distance, also discovered the strangeness of the conflict around the campfire.

The hermit crab, which relied entirely on its shell to defend itself, actually raised its pincers and took a complete defensive stance. It ignored the four or five blue seahorses that were furiously attacking, and only occasionally lowered its pincers to observe. Under the circumstances, he continued to shrink into the huge shell.

"The seahorse clan is one of the sea clans that hermit crabs like to attack most. Although it cannot be said that there is a grudge between the two parties, grudges are inevitable..."

Upon hearing this, Raymond also saw the giant crab warriors rushing over from the beaches on both sides, so he interrupted Naga Elder Heloise and asked. "Heloise, if your old grudges need to be resolved because of the integration of the three tribes of the Red Sea Nagas, can you accept it?"

The sudden change of topic stunned the Naga elder Heloise, but she still said without hesitation after she reacted. "If the hatred will affect the integration of the three tribes, then any Naga will choose to resolve the hatred!"

The expression of Elder Heloise, illuminated by the fire in the camp, was firm and resolute. Raymond, who carefully examined her expression, nodded, but the words that suddenly emerged in his mind made him feel uncomfortable. "It was almost a disaster of genocide. Such hatred can be chosen to be forgotten because of integration?"

"Forgiveness is sometimes a kind of courage..."

After saying that, the Naga elder Heloise said goodbye and left, which made Raymond, who was standing in front of the tent door, fall into deep thought.

Although there are many such philosophical mottos in his memory, after putting himself in their shoes, Raymond still believes that he can't make the same decision as Sharonna, nor can he have the same mind as Elder Heloise.

Raymond, standing in front of the tent, fell into deep thought again. After becoming a member of the wizard world from an ordinary citizen of the Interstellar Alliance, everything he had experienced over the years had brought him more or less trouble.

The improvement of his strength naturally made him gain respect and admiration that he had never gotten before, but it also brought him many enemies.

But thinking of the things and people in the past, Raymond, whose mood gradually calmed down, smiled.

For the Naga clan, the changes caused by the war of the upper elves made them accept such clan rules or iron laws. Whether it was for the survival of the group or to continue the principles of the upper elves, it was irrelevant to him.

As long as Sharona could be happy and as long as the people he was familiar with could be safe, why bother so much?

Thinking of this, Raymond stopped struggling and turned his eyes to the beach. He saw the hermit crab surrounded by the crab warriors in the center.

The hermit crab, which had already poked out half of its body from the hard shell, raised its huge crab claws and showed a non-resistance posture.

The blue seahorses blocked by the Cancer Warriors were still roaring and shouting angrily, and were still trying to bypass the Cancer Warriors' blockage and continue to attack.

But the conflict by the campfire was obviously coming to an end. For the hermit crab, whether it was for survival or for other reasons, it was obviously taking the initiative in this conflict between the two sides.

Raymond, who was touched in his heart, couldn't help but mutter. "As long as you have strong strength, there will naturally be no more enemies..." (To be continued...)
