Chapter 704: The Long-lost Naga Warlock
Da Chun was extremely frustrated. He inexplicably recalled a joke: a man had too many girlfriends, and he had to schedule dates with them in various overlapping ways…

Honestly, I've come to understand this struggle more deeply now; there are just too many things that need to be kept secret.

Actually, thinking about it carefully, mermaids and Nagas are mortal enemies, so they're not under the mermaid's jurisdiction. The Sea God's guards probably aren't close at all. Let's take a look first.

"Ellen, how is the Naga sorcerer's soul?"

Eileen said in a deep voice, "Being locked up in the pirate ship's treasure vault is a bit dangerous!"

I have a wall clock! Speaking of which, last time I infiltrated her consciousness, I used a wall clock to freeze time for a moment, but it didn't work well. What about this time?
"I gonna go see!"

Little Liya laughed and said, "Wow, you have so many fun things! I've never seen a Naga in person before, I want to go see one too."

No, you're 23 years old, stop pretending to be a little girl!
Da Chun laughed and said, "Okay, okay, let's go together."

So the group arrived at the pirate ship, and Sina even brought a kitchen basket filled with bread.

Little Liya said with great interest, "Not bad, it feels more advanced than the Oak Ark."

Da Chun asked in surprise, "Then can you sail a boat?"

Little Liya laughed and said, "A city flower must know how to sail a boat, otherwise she won't be idolized by sailors."

The worship of seafarers?
Da Chun suddenly felt like gossiping: "I heard there's a Black Pearl at sea, and she's an idol to sailors and pirates?"

Little Liya paused for a moment, then said, "It depends on how you compare them! In terms of sailing skills and naval combat, she is the strongest, but she doesn't know magic, and her ship, the Black Pearl, is not as advanced as the ships of the five city beauties. Her birth is also not noble enough. But if you look at it from the perspective of someone from the lower class, all these shortcomings are actually her advantages. Her actual number of fans is impossible to count. In short, she is actually very remarkable. I even envy her. She is not short of money and is free!"

Oh my~~ This evaluation really makes Da Chun feel like he's basking in a spring breeze, and he's proud of his close relationship with Aziza! Unlike Ellen, who just uses two words to evaluate anyone.

Da Chun couldn't help but chime in: "Actually, she has her own difficulties, after all, pirates aren't always obedient."

Little Lia laughed: "It seems that the rumors about your close relationship with the pirates mean you also have a good relationship with her?"

Um... no, apart from Aziza, I really don't have much contact with pirates...

Da Chun decided to change the subject: "Anyway, I've already been judged by Bronze City for colluding with pirates. I really hope that all the pirates are on good terms with me and can be used for our cause of resisting the Empire."

Little Lia clapped her hands: "Yes, what the Empire fears most is actually the cutting off of shipping. Deploying the navy for a long-term pursuit is extremely costly, so—"

A hoarse voice came from the lower deck: "—So, that's how the value of my Naga race comes into play!"

Holy shit! !
Da Chun was shocked: "How could she hear our conversation down there?"

Eileen exclaimed in surprise, "She hasn't said a word since she arrived."

Leah asked in surprise, "The key point is, she was locked in a vault, and the door there should be very thick. How did her voice get out?"

The hoarse voice said, "This is just my insignificant ability, Master. I have been waiting for you!"

Holy crap! This is even more decisive than the fake Tifa, so pragmatic! The reason mermaids hate this race is because of their betrayal!
Da Chun should continue asking the 23-year-old goddess. As a goddess, her knowledge is superficial. As the city's most beautiful woman, she has seen and experienced much.

"Are all Naga so...so reliable?"

Little Liya said, "I heard that the Fourth Prince has adopted some Nagas, so he is quite reliable."

Um, this Naga is the Fourth Prince's... no, can you please not mention the Fourth Prince? You're related by blood! He's a beast!
Her hoarse voice suddenly shifted with emotion: "Unless Master kills me personally, I will remain loyal to Master forever!" Ah, that's right, she was actually accidentally injured by the Fourth Prince in that battle!

At this moment, Da Chun and his group arrived at the door of the treasure vault in the lower compartment. Through the thick, transparent crystal observation window on the door, they saw the Naga lying cross-legged in the center of the vault, her six hands clasped together in pairs, forming a strange but surprisingly pleasing three-ring hand gesture.

The room began to vibrate, and her voice rang out again: "Master! Please allow me to pledge my loyalty to you!"

amount……

The fake Tifa incident just happened, then I encountered Sister Xiaobai's wavering support, and now I'm being offered to marry her so easily. It all came too easily. I can't refuse, but I'm anxious to accept. How can I put my mind at ease?

Seeing Da Chun's hesitation, Xiao Liya suddenly laughed: "Her ability to resonate and penetrate is actually quite interesting, how about this—"

Little Liya took a loaf of bread out of the basket and tore it into more than a dozen pieces: "Let's test her. I'll tear the bread into pieces and throw them on the ground. Can she tell how many pieces there are in total? If she answers correctly, then she'll be recognized for her skill."

Ah, that's true! Recruitment shouldn't be based on the leader's personal preferences or intelligence. At least, even if she defected, it's not my fault for misjudging people! It's easier to shift blame than to do so with a clear conscience.

For her, it wasn't about deceiving a foolish owner, but about earning her hard-won success through her own abilities—this kind of mindset of passing the test actually brings a great sense of accomplishment, confidence, and dignity, something Da Chun understands all too well.

Da Chun immediately agreed: "Okay! So, did you hear the test question?"

Naga said, "I'm ready!"

Little Liya then threw the bread crumbs on the ground, which sounded faint and silent to Dachun.

Naga replied, "If you don't count the tiny bits, there are 17 small pieces in total!"

Everyone counted on the ground: 17! It really was!
Little Liya led the applause, saying, "That's amazing! I couldn't even hear it!"

Da Chun was speechless with relief: "I'm so glad you've joined our team!"

Naga's hoarse voice carried a hint of smugness: "Thank you, Master. Actually, you don't need to open the door. I'll go into battle when you need me."

Wow, that's pretty high emotional intelligence! It dispelled all those little thorns of doubt in my heart! But, while she can make such a request, I can't actually do it.

Da Chun laughed and said, "Don't worry, I approve of you and believe in you!"

Naga said, "Master, you can understand it as me not wanting to go out and do chores! My previous master would always ask me to do chores, which really affected my ability to concentrate."

Oh my god!? This reason... I have no choice but to agree!

Da Chun was even more relieved: "Then, we won't disturb you. You can focus on your cultivation."

"Okay, master!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a sonic wave rippled across the ground, and the 17 pieces of bread bounced up and landed precisely in Sina's basket.

What the hell!

Little Liya exclaimed in amazement, "Incredible! Even telekinesis couldn't do that through such a thick door."

Although the principle is related to sound waves, the way he plays with it is truly worthy of being called a sorcerer!
