1450 Commitment
"I never expected that I would suffer such a disaster because of my wide connections..."
After the private meeting with Melinda, Raymond came to the top of the steep peak at the invitation of Frederica. This was the first sentence he heard.
It was still the same recliner, but Frederica, who only had the outline of her body left, spoke with sadness and deep emotion.
But he soon noticed that there was an irregularly shaped shadow next to the lounge chair. After seeing Raymond enter, he slowly 'swam' to the corner, as if he was piling up, and finally formed A shadow sea snake with a body length of less than ten centimeters but a relatively solid body turned around and nodded slightly at Raymond, as if it was saluting.
The top of the steep peak of Black Coconut Island changed its original pattern due to Frederica's injury.
Originally, there were only branches sloping outwards around the peak, but now its edges are completely obscured by many branches that bend and converge toward the center. It is like a huge dome that is sealed here. If you want to enter, You must pass through the tree door due south to enter.
Seeing the caution in Raymond's eyes as he followed the shadow, Frederica explained. "This is the projection of the Blue-fronted Sea Serpent that I made a deal with you before. I must maintain the deterrence of the Black Coconut Sea Area now, so I hope Lord Raymond can forgive me..." "Projection? Could it be said that you invited the Blue-fronted Sea Serpent? Come for escort?”
"That's it. I am wary of Jennifer of the Red Sea Naga, so after careful consideration, I had to ask the Blue-fronted Sea Serpent to help me. If you don't want to let it stay aside, then I can let it stay away for a while... …”
Frederica, who said this in a tentative tone, saw Raymond's expression and left no room for negotiation. He immediately turned around and pleaded to the projection of the green-fronted sea snake entrenched in the corner of the peak. "I'm really sorry, I hope you won't be offended..."
The sea snake, which was only ten centimeters long, nodded slightly to Frederica to indicate that she understood. But he turned to Raymond and said. "Lord Raymond, although according to the previous agreement with Lao Shugen, I shouldn't interrupt. But if you still have Yangliuhua, I hope you can remember the pleasure of our transaction..."
The other party's attitude was very low, so Raymond nodded slightly and saluted, then asked. "Since you are the projection of the green-fronted sea snake, can you tell me why the resources of the sea of time and space are so in demand? Especially why is this ocean flower so popular?"
However, Raymond's words clearly made Frederica on the recliner somewhat dissatisfied and cough slightly, but the projection of the green-fronted sea snake answered as if she had not seen him before. "As long as you don't mind that I, a little sea snake, talk too much, sir, I will be willing to explain it to you in detail after you finish communicating with the old tree root..." After saying that, the projection of the green-fronted sea snake entrenched in the corner transformed into a new form. A shadow quickly swam towards the only tree door and disappeared on the top of the steep peak.
"Lord Raymond, you can't do this. Every piece of information has value..."
After sighing, Frederica explained before Raymond could speak. "Sir Raymond, this is not disrespectful to you, nor does it mean that I have forgotten your previous rescue. This is because I have always been like this as a middleman. Any interaction between you and the Blue-fronted Sea Snake on this Black Coconut Island is Because of me, according to the rules, the Blue-fronted Sea Snake cannot interact with you. Although the current situation is also caused by me, I still hope that any needs you have can be handled according to the rules... "
The words were apologetic, but the emphasis on 'rules' was obviously something Frederica attached great importance to. After listening to this, Raymond, who was a little annoyed, actually admired its persistence and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. . "Okay, okay! The subsequent communication with the Blue-fronted Sea Snake will be considered initiated by me, and the required fees will be paid in the end. Don't let your rules be violated!"...
"Hahaha... Since Lord Raymond can understand that I am naturally very grateful, do you think the price of a low-level magic stone is appropriate?"
Frederica's offer made Raymond stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly. "You guy, you are so injured and you still want to joke! Tell me. What was the discussion with Senmario before?"
"Contact was interrupted before, so after I regained consciousness, I first reached an agreement with the Blue-fronted Sea Serpent. I asked it to transmit the projection to help me stabilize the situation in the Black Coconut Sea..."
After a little explanation, Frederica told the story about Senmario.
The conditions that Raymond agreed to at the beginning. It was to exchange two Ocean Flowers for the artifact or method that could deceive the attention of the power of the plane. However, because the situation on Black Coconut Island took a turn for the worse afterwards, Raymond needed Senmario to first transfer the artifact or method. deliver.
"Senmario asked me for a guarantee before delivery, just because this guy had a bad temper and was difficult to control. So when the sealing crystal was transmitted, I was extremely surprised. I really didn't expect that my reputation could make Senmario even better. Willing to take risks..."
When it said this, the outline of Frederica on the lounge chair became a little erratic. It paused for a long time and then asked a little embarrassedly. "Lord Raymond, if you have enough Yangliuhua in your hand, I hope you can fulfill his wish. Even if you ask him to pay some consideration, I am willing to persuade him..."
The establishment of trust naturally requires frankness and sincerity from both parties. Raymond was not clear about this.
And under the situation at that time, Senmario was able to deliver the artifact quickly, either because he was not optimistic about the strength of the black scale dragon, or he was quite confident in his own strength.
However, there are only six Ocean Flowers left in his hand, and the reason why this resource from the sea of time and space is so precious is not yet clear. Therefore, from a rational perspective, any transaction should not be done. Continued.
But the other party had already shown his honesty, so for Raymond, such a person was worth dating, so he said. "The two Ocean Flowers promised before will definitely be paid. But before I understand the true role and value of Ocean Flowers, I am not willing to make additional payments. If Senmario is willing to accept other resources, I will Try to meet his requirements!"
Frederica, who was anxiously waiting for Raymond's conclusion, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and walked around the couch twice before standing again and thinking about her words. "Sir Raymond! I would like to thank you in advance for keeping your promise. However, Senmario has been in need of Ocean Flower for a long time, and the quantity he needs has always been to get three flowers, so I try to negotiate with him as much as possible. , I will invite you over for face-to-face transactions after the results come out..."
This is a more cautious approach, and Raymond is very satisfied.
After putting the matter aside, Frederica took the initiative to bring the topic to the Red Sea Naga Jennifer, and was quite surprised by the reunion of the three clans and the high degree of cohesion they displayed.
"The Siren race is already rare in number, and Medusa belongs to a mysterious race in the deep sea. Although I heard that the Red Sea Naga was integrating the three races, I didn't expect that in just a few months, By that time, the three clans had been integrated, and even the masters of the Siren and Medusa clans could be dispatched by the Red Sea Naga..."
Regarding the integration of the three clans, he learned about it through Six-Armed Naga Rosetti, so until now, Raymond still had some doubts, so after weighing the pros and cons, he still asked. "Frederica, how much do you know about the High Elves and the Well of Eternity?"
"Higher Elf? Well of Eternity?"
Somewhat astonished, Raymond repeated the two words he mentioned, and the outline of his face that was originally extremely erratic suddenly became clear, and then Frederica's entire face was revealed...
