Chapter 45: Pearls
Hundred-handed Grim Reaper added?
An incomparably unfamiliar name, Vallajan did not know of any great man in the human kingdom with this name. However, seeing the more than 100 mage hands still hovering around Duke, Vala felt that this title was extremely appropriate.
Now that Duke had made a name for himself, Vala felt a little relieved, as if the big man didn't plan to kill them all.
Vala bowed deeply again, playfully.
"Rejoice, Vala, where you are useful in my plans. Absolute loyalty to me for you and your men. As a reward for your loyalty, you will be rewarded with a vast place to live, and the entire Wild West and offshore waters will become your clan's domain, where all the fishmen will be at your disposal. And human beings ...... With me, humans are not a problem. ”
Duke's words were arrogant and arrogant, but Vala didn't find any exaggeration in Duke's words. The fish-people are afraid of Naga, and have been willingly driven by Naga for the past 10,000 years, and only recognize whoever has more arms is the boss, and has preconceived notions.
Knowing that Duke's hands are all magical creations, but such lifelike and flexible palms are definitely not something that ordinary mages can do. Feeling the aftermath of Duke's astonishing magic at the location of Nuruk, the male Naga leader just now, Vala was secretly terrified.
She was well aware that Duke was no match she could fight.
So, she decided to give her loyalty, even if temporarily.
"I, Vala Scales Ives, represent the Scales of Rage, and I'm happy to serve you, my master. Vala waved and said a few words in Naga to the thirty-odd people, and immediately all the Naga knelt down to Duke.
"Get up. As Duke spoke proudly, the hand of the mage, twice the size of Naga, took their elbow and lifted them up.
For a moment, all Naga's faces changed.
They didn't see how powerful Duke was, only the many fishmen were willing to drive for Duke, and the corpse of Nuluk, who was chasing them, could be used as proof.
But at this time, the invincible power in the mage's hand made them tremble.
A pair of palms made of magical energy have such power that this power can be used to lift them up, or choke them by the neck......
The Naga's reverence for Duke deepened.
Duke always felt that something was missing, and he suddenly remembered the soul mark that Medivan had imprinted on his chest.
"System Elf, can I create a soul mark similar to Medivan?"
"After calculation, the host your mana is not enough to imprint the mark in the state of resistance of the opponent's soul. Conversely, if the opponent does not resist, the Mage Mark is just a trick equivalent to a level 0 spell for you. ”
"Can I add some ingredients?"
The system elf instantly understood Duke's thoughts: "Yes. ”
At this moment, Duke's right index finger lit up with a cold white glow, which was the magical glow of ice energy.
"Vala, open your heart, I have something for you. ”
Now of course, Duke has the final say, and of course Vala does not dare to resist, swaying her long snake tail and coming in front of Duke.
Although Duke's movements looked flawed to Vala, not even the most basic mage shield, and it felt like she could kill the human who was about to enslave her in an instant with just one blow, Vala didn't dare.
The mage hands floating around Duke were so elusive, she really didn't know how powerful these mage hands were.
She stepped forward respectfully, closed her eyes, and let Duke's fingers touch the center of her brow.
As the white light passed through her eyelids, it grew brighter and brighter, almost to the point that Vala couldn't bear it, and a chill pierced through Vala's soul from the center of her eyebrows.
The cold comfort of "Hmm......" was so strong that it almost melted Vala's brain.
Vala immediately sensed that this was no ordinary mage mark.
Not only did it invade her soul, but it was stuck in all of her magical circuits.
It's over! I'm going to die for this little human.
At this moment, Vala finally snuffed out the last little rebellion.
As if in response to Vala's newborn loyalty, Vala suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. She could clearly feel that her ice spells had improved significantly. It wasn't the kind of obligatory boost of power that would have after-effects, but a simplified model of a more perfect use of ice spells, etched into her soul.
In the future, as the years go by and her strength increases, the power of her ice spells will increase proportionally.
This great power......
Looking at Duke's young face, Vala couldn't believe that it was Duke's doing. Duke actually engraved to her the legendary supermagic specialty that she could only comprehend by herself!
Looking back at the water, Vala saw the bright emblem on her forehead - a black emblem with a hooded Grim Reaper skull in the center, and a myriad of mage hands looming next to the skull.
Sure enough, it is the emblem of the Hundred-Handed Grim Reaper!
Vala had no other thoughts, and bowed deeply: "Master, what are the instructions next?"
"Which clan's Naga was chasing you just now?"
"That's the Greyscale Clan in the southern part of the Western Wilderness, but the master killed their chief warrior, I'm afraid they won't dare to come until they find reinforcements. Moreover, it will take at least two months for Thorn Valley to come here, and we shouldn't have to worry about the Greyscale Clan in the short term. ”
"Oh well. Raven pointed to the huge blind one-eyed fish-man: "In the past month, in addition to settling your clan, you have taken the old blind man to bring the fish-men of the entire western wilderness coast under your command. When the time comes, I will personally show my power to all the leaders of the Fish-Man clans. ”
"What else?"
"I want pearls! big and small, the more beautiful the better. Let the tribe of the spears do the work. I will come back here in a week to receive the goods. It was only at this moment that Duke finally revealed what he had in mind.
That's right!
The world of Azeroth is not the world of pearl farming before Raven's crossing. Pearls are a rare luxury in the entire 7 human kingdoms, and even in the elven Quel's Talas.
Quite simply, all the pearls are in the sea, and the ocean is the territory of the fish-man and the naga.
Humans can build powerful warships to conquer all targets at sea level, but they can't do anything about the bottom of the sea. It's not that no human has made up an idea with Naga, but Naga's lair is usually at the bottom of the sea, who would take a whole small tribe like Duke?
In other words, Duke was only going to deal with the Fish-Man tribe before.
Hearing Duke's request, Vala secretly took a breath, different races, different values, pearls or something, it's really not a problem for Naga.
