We only have about 4,500 tribesmen left, most of whom are injured."
"The old, weak, women and children were all killed in the battle."
"Master, this is the treasure we dedicate to you."
On the deck of the Sand Walker, Aislin led three Blood Terror Naga priests, and they respectfully leaned over and spoke to Tonatiu.
She and her three subordinates were covered in a layer of faint blue light, which was filled with water vapor.
The vitality of Naga will decrease after it comes ashore. The way to avoid the decrease in vitality is to maintain moisture and moisture on the surface of the body.
This magic allows Naga to maintain normal metabolism and maintain body vitality in places without water.
On the deck behind them, there was a pile of various treasures and belongings piled up. They were so large that they were piled on the deck like a hill.
Nagas are often synonymous with pirates at sea. Their favorite thing to do is to rob passing ships. They also collect protection fees and seize other races passing by as slaves.
So from a pirate's perspective, Nagas are generally very wealthy.
It's just that Naga's wealth cannot improve Naga's life. Treasures are of little use in the sea, and the boldest goblin merchants are reluctant to do business with the moody Naga.
These treasures, which are worth thousands of dollars in the eyes of merchants, can only be used by the Nagas to decorate their palaces.
It's obviously of little use, but the Nagas still enjoy robbing them.
Probably because they have transformed from the upper elf into the monster in the sea, even if it has no effect on them, the naga will keep robbing the land creatures out of revenge.
"I accept your tribute." Tonatiu said lightly. "Besides these, now is the time to show me your loyalty."
"We can use the magical blood contract to express our loyalty to you." Aislin said.
"contract?"
"Yes. A contract that can bind us and make us your most loyal servants during your lifetime. This is how we treat fish people and other slaves." Aislin said, with a twinkle in her eye.
A touch of cunning.
Although Naga does not have the lifespan of the Highborne ten thousand years ago, it still lives longer than most trolls.
The binding effect of this contract can only last for one generation and will lose its effect after the blood is diluted.
"Forehead……"
Tonatiu suddenly felt embarrassed.
He didn't know Naga's plan.
He was sure that the Naga's water-bloodline magic contract would not work on him.
But if you don't sign a contract, how can you guarantee their loyalty to you?
It would be nice if Modera was here.
She can be asked to sign a contract with the Nagas on her behalf.
Except for Modera, there is no troll or human in this sea that Tonatiu can trust enough to trust him to entrust the control of Naga.
Is there no other way?
some.
He remembered the side mission the system had just done. The side mission was triggered, obviously for a reason.
"No contract required."
Tonatiu said simply.
"I want another surrender certificate, such as a hostage."
"But, but..." Aislin didn't expect that he didn't want a magic contract, because most people would be willing and agreeable when they heard that a magic contract could be concluded.
Too many races and individuals are obsessed with magic and the constraints of the arcane.
As everyone knows, magic is created, and as long as they are created, they will have flaws.
There are no flaws at first, but over time people will find flaws.
"Our old, weak, women and children have all been killed in the battle. The Blue Scale clan gives priority to killing them. I can only lead the warriors and priests to fight out. We have no women and children left." Aislin said.
She didn't think about betraying her in the short term. The bloody Naga named by the Eternal Palace simply couldn't survive in the endless sea.
Having a backer to provide shelter is what she wants most right now.
Naga's nature makes her unwilling to allow the tribe to surrender to the trolls forever.
The magic contract can ensure that the troll will attach great importance to them in the early stage. After the troll dies and the contract loses its effectiveness, the Blood Terror Naga can choose to be independent again.
"I'll tell you the truth." Tonatiu stopped talking. "I noticed that during the battle with the blue Naga, you never took action, and the Nagas were also trying their best to protect you."
"That...that's because I am the leader of the tribe. It is their nature to protect me." Aislin said reluctantly.
"Eggs. I want Naga's eggs." Tonatiu completely lost his patience. "You said that all the old, weak, women and children in your tribe are dead, but you didn't say that your most important eggs were destroyed. Hand them over to you.
Eggs, as hostages, make me believe in your loyalty."
"This won't work." Aislin struggled and said. "You can't hatch them. If you want Naga's eggs for other purposes, we can rob other tribes and dedicate their eggs to you."
Snapped!
Tonatiu slapped his hands.
"What I want is not an ordinary egg. What I want is that your eggs will definitely hatch into females, even eggs from Naga priests!"
In Naga, the female egg is the future. In the social structure of Naga, all activities of a tribe revolve around women, and female Nagas also inherit the knowledge and traditions of the tribe.
This may have something to do with Azshara, but Naga is such a race where women are superior to men.
Especially female Nagas who can become sacrifices, they are the natural ruling class of Nagas.
No matter in terms of IQ or potential, he is the best among the Nagas.
And let Tonatiu take action to save this Naga tribe, because the team requirement of the side mission is to obtain these eggs that can hatch the Naga Priestess.
Aislin's face was pale, which was somewhat conspicuous on her light red skin.
"That's our future." Seeing that she couldn't hide it, she still wanted to struggle. "I can't leave them to you."
"I promise you I won't hurt them. When they grow up, they will return to your tribe." Tonatiu said impatiently. "Two options, leave the eggs and you follow my team. The other option is
:Leave these treasures and then leave."
Aislin's face was very tangled, but finally a flash of resolution flashed across her face, and her snake hair twisted uneasily.
"All right……"
The priestess sighed.
"This is our future."
She has a twirling tail with some unusual magical tattoos engraved on it.
Obviously those are some spells related to space and hiding.
As she twisted, the space where the tail was connected was opened.
There are a total of 11 white eggs with a light red tint, which are placed gently on the deck by the current.
"If they are successfully hatched, they will all have the talent to become priests." A flash of pain flashed across Aislin's face.
"I used our secret method to select these eleven eggs out of more than a thousand of ours. I hope you can treat them well."
"certainly."
Tonatiu looked at the system prompt that the first part of the side mission was officially completed.
