Chapter 261 Naga Wants to Form an Alliance?
Watching the back of Krober riding a dragon away, Vashj's hands were already clenched into fists.
She was full of doubts and puzzlement.
Why could such a powerful force exist in a small Amethyst Islands?
Especially one of them was the lord of this sea area.
She still remembered the person she sent out to collect intelligence, who came back and reported clearly:
"Krober Amethyst Rose has just broken through the Earth Knight stage."
However, now he appeared in front of her riding a dragon.
Originally, Vashj came here with sufficient confidence and plans, but now everything seems to have become confusing.
She secretly began to be dissatisfied with those subordinates who provided wrong information.
At the same time, she also had a new understanding of the strength of Krober's side.
And she was more certain in her heart that the human side wanted to take action against the sea people.
The Amethyst Islands were the vanguard sent by the seven kingdoms of mankind.
Otherwise, how could a few small islands be stationed with two dragon knights.
However, since she had come here, she couldn't go back empty-handed.
At least on the surface, the ruler of the Amethyst Islands is willing to meet with him in a gentle way.
So Vashj decided to take a risk and have a conversation with Krober to see if he could get some useful information from him.
So Vashj took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.
"Let's go to Rose Castle."
The group hastily ended the welcoming ceremony and went to Rose Castle under the leadership of Hyer to discuss relevant matters with Krober.
When the Nagas came to the outside of Rose Castle, they were all amazed by the novel terrain of the lake island.
In particular, there was a silver-white tin dragon resting on the left side of the castle, and a black iron dragon resting on the right side.
With the blessing of these two dragons, the majesty of Rose Castle was further highlighted.
"Sir Vashj, please come this way, Lord Krober is waiting for you in the banquet hall."
At this time, Yan was wearing a serious black dress.
As the castle steward of Rose Castle, he obeyed Krober's order to come to greet Vashj and others.
Vashj didn't reply. If she hadn't shouldered the burden of the Naga's survival, she would rather find a place to live in seclusion with Zora.
But unfortunately, there is no one in the tribe who can show off now.
There are only a few sea dragons that have accompanied the Naga tribe since ancient times to protect them.
Thinking of her tribe, Vashj gritted her teeth and walked into the castle built by humans.
Unlike the state of the Rose Castle just completed before, the Rose Castle at this time has been filled with a lot of precious and rare decorations for embellishment.
So the style of the whole castle is more luxurious.
Entering the banquet hall, Krober greeted the other party with equal etiquette and entertained Vashj with a duke-level reception banquet.
Because he had entertained the Naga tribe before, Krober thoughtfully asked people to replace the chairs with velvet sofas.
For the Naga tribe, this kind of medium and large furniture that can hold their own snake tails or fish tails is more in line with their needs.
"Please take a seat, Your Excellency Vashj. I am deeply sorry for my impolite behavior just now, so please allow me to give you a gift as a personal compensation."
After saying that, Krober clapped his hands and signaled the servant to bring the gift he had prepared.
The servant came forward with a tray, on which was placed a dagger made of mithril, with a ruby engraved on it.
This dagger is finely crafted, with complex and mysterious patterns engraved on it. Although the ruby inlaid is just an ordinary ruby produced by the gem dragon, it is made of mithril, which at least doubles the value of this dagger.
When Vashj saw this dagger, she was also attracted by its complicated patterns.
"Ocean current pattern, Your Excellency really knows a lot about the Naga tribe."
Vashj smiled slightly, and her cold voice resounded in the banquet hall.
Ocean current pattern? What is ocean current pattern?
Krober was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to show it on this occasion, so he could only continue to follow Vashj's words.
"I can't say I understand you deeply, but I personally think that this dagger is the most suitable for you, so I gave it to you as a gift."
"If you think I am provocative, there is no need to do so. I always say what I think."
Vashj sneered. In the past few hundred years, she has seen countless intelligent creatures.
The more people emphasize their honesty and simplicity, and the more they are willing to repay their enemies, the deeper their scheming is. She once fell into the hands of such people.
However, in the past few hundred years, she has already mastered the essence of "politics".
What cannot be solved by force can sometimes be solved by wisdom.
"Sir Krober, to be honest, I also have important matters to discuss when I visit Amethyst Island this time. I wonder if it is convenient for you?"
Krober nodded.
"Of course there is time. If you have anything to say, just tell us. After all, we are neighbors, right?"
"As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. The ancient times have passed. There is no need for us to fight to the death. Isn't it good to win-win?"
Krober's words are indeed from his heart. Anyway, before his second evolution, he would never take the initiative to provoke a war.
So the diplomatic attitude towards the Naga tribe is still mainly to appease and strengthen bilateral relations.
Slippery tongue indeed!
Vashj had expected that this young lord was not an easy opponent, so she was not surprised by Krober's "slippery tongue".
"Mr. Krober, what you said is right. In fact, my Naga tribe also thinks so. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. We should indeed strengthen bilateral relations. In my opinion, why not conclude an alliance?"
Concluding an alliance is also a kind of oath.
However, unlike the oath of allegiance, the alliance between two countries or two forces is usually witnessed by the world consciousness.
Naturally, the price to pay for signing an alliance is also very high.
"Ah? Conclude an alliance?"
Krober covered his chest with some distress when he heard this. During the time when he was the prime minister, he could see a large amount of gold coins being sprinkled to various countries like water almost every day.
And his territory also raised a real "gold-eating beast".
The economy was already tight, and you still had to drag me to conclude an alliance.
What?
Are the Nagas so rich?
It really deserves to be one of the three ruling races of the ancient sea tribe.
Even though it has been weak for so many years, the price paid for the covenant was spoken directly without hesitation.
But the problem is that I don’t have so many resources!
The words were stuck on the tip of his tongue, but Krober just couldn’t say it.
What do you want him to say?
Just say he can’t afford the resources, or Naga, you can lend me some?
To be honest, that’s really embarrassing.
But this scene is not the case in Vashj’s eyes.
“Sure enough, humans are still determined to destroy our sea tribe. It seems that I have to find a way to take down the Amethyst Islands, the human outpost, to buy enough time for the Naga to retreat.”
Vashj thought silently in her heart.
