Chapter 165 Holy Lake Green Island
The long shuttle-shaped ebony shuttle boat slides lightly over the river, which is stable, fast and quiet.
The brilliant sun shone on the surface of the water, and the sparkling light reflected ten thousand golden scales. The oncoming wind brushed Leon's face, taking his black hair flying with the wind, like a burning black flame.
Leon stood in the bow of the boat, behind him was the iron sheet and the swamp water demon warlock. They are now on their way to the Naga tribe. This secret river is a shortcut to the swamp aquarium holy lake Tengt.
There is no pulp or sail, but the forward speed of the shuttle ship is very fast. This is not a magic effect, but under the front of the ship, more than a dozen swamp water demons are dragging the hull with cables.
Hundreds of water demons took turns to act as water fibers to pull the ebony shuttle boat up hundreds of miles against the current in a long night.
When the sun rose, Leon saw the vast lake ahead.
"Holy Lake!"
The iron eyes changed, with memories, yearning, nostalgia and a trace of anger.
Reon knows very well why the big hippopotamus looks like this.
There are seven famous big lakes in the marsh area. They are called the seven holy lakes. They are the common holy lakes of swamp aquariums. The hippopotamus tribes that have lived in the marsh area for generations have used the three sacred lakes as their home, and Tengt Lake is one of them.
But now Tengt Lake already belongs to the territory of the Naga people.
For Tiepi, it is not easy to let go of the hatred of the ethnic group, but he also understands his tasks and responsibilities, so the light in his eyes flashes out.
Along the wider and wider river, the shuttle boat entered Tengert Lake, and its eyes suddenly became extremely open.
The ship has speeded up, and the number of swamp water demons pulling the fiber rope has doubled. They dare not appear in the sun during the day, because it will dry the mucus to protect the outer armor. Of course, there is no need to worry about it in the water.
The water demon warlock constantly holds spells for himself to ensure that there is a layer of water mist outside the body at all times, which can help it avoid the damage of the sun.
As the sun became hotter and hotter, even the iron sheet was a little unbearable. He jumped into the cold lake and swam behind the ebony boat. His speed was not inferior to that of the swamp water demon at all.
After almost half a day of sailing, when the sun rose to the highest point in the sky, a green island in the distance came into Leon's sight.
This green island is isolated in the middle of the big lake, just like a piece of green emerald inlaid on light blue crystal, proud and beautiful.
Finally arrived! Leon took a long breath. The green island in front of him should be a pearl in Lake Tengt, the Green Heart Island where the Naga tribe is located.
The speed of the shuttle slowly slowed down. About a mile away from Green Heart Island, a Naga banshee swam far away.
She was quite fast and soon approached the shuttle boat.
This Naga banshee is quite young, and there is a little immature in her beauty. Her skin is not light cyan, but relatively white, and the corners of her mouth do not show creepy fangs, so it looks more pleasing to the eye.
Like Naga, who Leon had seen before, a layer of water mist barrier protected her upper body, and the lower body of the snake kept swimming in the water.
Seeing Leon standing in the bow of the boat, Naga's banshee looked very surprised and clenched the staff in her hand warily: "The human race? How dare you break into the holy lake of our Naga clan?
A mouthful of mainland lingua franca is full of words. Leon, who was about to translate on the iron sheet, was somewhat stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "This Miss Naga, I am not a human race, but a neighbor of your Naga clan, Baron Leon, the lord of the Sal of the Kingdom of Bemon!"
"I visited St. Lake Tengt this time to visit your miacon, Your Excellency Capeshan. Please pass it on behalf of me!"
The swamp water demon warlock next to him chattered a phone call, probably explaining the origin of Leon to the other party.
The iron sheet quietly returned to the ship from the water and stood behind Leon without saying a word.
After listening to the explanation of the water demon warlock, Naga banshee's expression eased a lot and she was no longer so vigilant - if Leon had any intentions towards them, he would not have only brought a hippo warrior to follow him.
"So you are the Leon of Sal. I've heard your name. You're really bold!" Naga wrinkled her nose and hummed, "Our miko can't be seen by anyone who wants to see it. I can tell my miko. You can wait here first!"
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you!" Leon's smile remained unchanged.
His wrist suddenly turned over, and there was a string of shiny jewelry in his hand: "This is a small meaning. It can be regarded as an expression of my gratitude. Please be sure to accept it!"
This necklace was bought by Leon in Tormond City. It is made by the excellent craftsmen of the human race. It is made of more than a dozen kinds of gemstones and gold. Although it is not a magic jewelry and the price is not very expensive, it is first-class in both style and craftsmanship.
Naga banshee's eyes were suddenly attracted. Beauty is a woman's natural surname, regardless of race. Even the most vulgar orc woman will wear a necklace for herself with the beast's teeth.
Of course, the Naga banshees are no exception. Although they can easily get some magic crystal crystal gems and other things, it is difficult to complete such beautiful jewelry by themselves anyway.
The Naga people live in the depths of the Everglades. They basically do not interact with the outside world, and it is impossible for any merchants to bring these things in and sell them.
In the whole tribe, only the miwe of Capeshan has some more beautiful ornaments, but compared with the necklace in Leon's hand, the value may be far exceeded, and the degree of exquisiteness is undoubtedly much inferior.
"Is this for me?" Naga couldn't believe her ears, and her eyes stared at the boss, as if she wanted to take it but didn't dare.
"Of course, this is just a small gift, and I have also brought more and better things for Mother Capesanne!" Leon handed over the jewelry.
He visited the Naga tribe this time to seek the purple crystal. Of course, it can't come empty-handed. The Naga banshee is not a fool. How can he take out the precious purple crystal for nothing? What's more, there is an unpleasant dispute between the two sides.
So Leon asked Elder Ug about the living habits, common preferences, etc. of the Naga people in detail, and made preparations for the surname in advance, so there was a trip to Tomund some time ago.
This Naga should be very young and not too hostile to Leon, so Leon doesn't mind using a small means to attract the relationship. It's not a bad thing.
Naga girl, who could not resist the necklace, reached out and grabbed it, turned around and swam away quickly.
It's really coaxing! Leon smiled and believed that there should be no problem to see Capeshan.
Naga girl goes fast and comes back faster.
When Leon waited for less than half a sand, she came back, followed by two other Naga banshees.
"Baron, please come over, she will wait for you in the temple!" The Naga girl was obviously much more polite.
However, the two Nagas behind looked bad, and one of them stared at Leon fiercely.
Probably been captured before! Leon secretly guessed that five Nagas were captured by Leon's camp in the first battle, which must have been a shame for them.
Leon has no doubt that without Capeshan's invitation, the two Naga banshees would have come to trouble themselves.
Under the guidance of the three Nagas, the shuttle ship docked on the shore of Green Heart Island.
The area of Green Heart Island is not very large. It is basically covered by lush forests. There are even rolling mountains in the island. From afar, you can see the jade belt-like waterfall hanging down from the cliff, and the natural scenery is very beautiful.
Along the cobbled path, Leon and the other two followed Nagas into the forest. From time to time, birds and beasts flew out on both sides of the road, showing vitality.
After walking for about ten minutes, a towering temple suddenly came into Leon's eyes in the valley in front of him.
This temple undoubtedly has an extremely long history. Most of its pedestal, walls and statue stone columns are submerged by the wanton spreading vines. The ** part of it is full of mottled traces left by the wind and frost years. The majestic vicissitudes give people an extremely heavy feeling.
In front of the temple is a flat square with a statue of goddesses dozens of feet high.Leon recognized that this was the statue of Audrey, the god of water, but the god had already fallen, and her temple lost its protection and majesty, so it became the residence of the Naga tribe.
Two Naga priests stood in front of the gate of the temple. Their robes covered the snake's body coiled on the ground. If there were no two small tusks at the corners of their mouths, they looked no different from ordinary female priests.
Stepping on the high stone steps, Ray Ang walked into the hall of the temple without squinting.
He saw the host mother of Naga, who was on the throne at a glance.
The controller of the Naga tribe was playing with the necklace that Leon had just sent out with great interest, and did not seem to notice Leon's arrival.
Out of instinct, Leon observed the situation in the hall.
The hall of the temple is very large, but compared with the temple he has seen before, it does not feel magnificent at all. On the contrary, it looks simple and decadent because of its disrepair.
However, there are many vines coming in from the outside and climbing up the walls and stone pillars. The leaves are dotted with white and lavender stamens, which are unique and integrated with nature.
There are also 20 Nagas on both sides of the front of the throne. They are all dressed in white robes and staring at Leon who came in coldly.
The young Naga girl rushed up quickly and rushed to the throne and said in a delicate voice, "Mother, I brought him here. Give me back the necklace!"
