Samuel had already discovered that his lord had come to his tent, but after using the hallucinogenic fruit, he had to keep himself within the user's sight.
If a second person appears in sight or if there is no one at all, the spiritual power of the psychedelic fruit will gradually dissipate until it is completely gone.
When he was traveling, he spent most of his savings to buy two psychedelic fruits in the Jade Valley of the Emerald Kingdom.
The Naga, also known as Ego, was so stubborn that he refused to confess a single word after being beaten and interrogated all night.
Samuel had no choice but to use his best efforts to complete the task.
Otherwise, if I had made a solemn promise to the lord, but couldn't even ask the name of this Naga, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?
Fortunately, as the embodiment of psychic power, the Emerald Dragon's psychedelic fruits growing around it do have the ability to confuse creatures at the Sky Knight level and lower levels.
More specifically, when a creature swallows the magic fruit, it will enter a "charmed" state that lasts anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes.
During this period, the charmed creature will develop a great sense of dependence on the first intelligent creature it sees, and subconsciously carry out the tasks assigned by the intelligent creature.
Samuel took advantage of this characteristic and successfully obtained a lot of valuable information from the Naga named Ego.
Through Ego's memory, Samuel not only learned the approximate location of the Naga tribe, but also learned the exact location and related information of every island they passed along the way.
This information about the new island alone was a huge treasure for Samuel and the lord he served.
Soon, Egg drew a rough sketch with charcoal.
Samuel, on the other hand, inquired about the specific strength of the Naga tribe while trying to transform the "map" drawn by Ego into a form that his master could understand.
This sketch records information on three islands in total.
Judging from their sizes, two of them should be small islands, and the other one is about the same size as Amethyst Island, so it should also be a medium-sized island.
These three islands are all located northeast of Amethyst Island, which means that the area where the Naga people live is also in that direction.
Hmm...but what does this symbol mean?
Samuel encountered a problem when translating the first island. He didn't know what the word meant.
No! I have to look it up in the dictionary.
Samuel pulled the dictionary over and began to flip through it.
Oh, so it means desolate. Does that mean this small island is a deserted island?
The second one...
Scorched earth?
What does scorched earth mean? Was the island scorched by fire?
Blanch!
I was wondering how this Naga could get so hungry after exploring all the way. It turns out that it didn't find any food on the island.
Male Nagas are large and bulky, and their main hunting method is to hunt medium and large prey on coastal land.
Only female Nagas are small in stature, highly sensitive, and have the ability to use magic. They mainly hunt for fish and shrimp in the sea.
Logically speaking, female Nagas are the most suitable explorers, but the Naga tribe is a matriarchal clan, and the strongest are also women, so this job falls on male Nagas.
Back to the topic, after hearing Ego's description of the two islands, Samuel's excitement about discovering new islands was reduced a lot.
After all, one is a wasteland and the other is a scorched earth. Just by listening to the names, you can tell that there should be no good things in these two places.
At least there won’t be any wild Pokémon!
The lower the value, the lower the level of his mission will be in the eyes of the lord, which will affect his status in the lord's mind.
Helplessly, Samuel, whose enthusiasm had waned, turned his attention to the third and final island.
“…I still don’t understand.”
It turns out he can't understand any of the words on this sketch!
"Let me check. Um... green, no, it refers to plants in general, or leaves. An island with green plants? Let's call it Green Leaf Island!"
After translating for a long time, Samuel finally understood the meaning and translated it as Green Leaf Island.
The appearance of this island brought some comfort to Samuel.
At the very least, one of these three islands is not a deserted island and still has certain value.
Just at this moment, Ego's charm state was lifted in time. After a brief adaptation, he realized what he had done.
This is one of the shortcomings of the hallucinogenic fruit. The person or other intelligent creature who is bewitched will not forget what happened during this period. Instead, he will remember it very deeply with the help of mental power.
Knowing that he had betrayed the tribe, Ego was naturally extremely angry. He looked at the fragile human in front of him and stretched out his arms, wanting to cut the enemy's throat with his sharp claws.
Neither Kroeber, who was watching from the side, nor Samuel himself were frightened by his actions.
Instead, Samuel sneered after seeing his actions.
In an instant, Ego felt a powerful gravity acting on him, pressing the already weak him directly to the ground.
The force was so great that his bones crackled under the heavy weight, as if they would break at any moment.
There was also some slight pain in his internal organs, which made him feel suffocated and painful.
"Oh? As expected of a species that can survive in the deep sea, you didn't even break a bone under the pressure of six times gravity. I'm increasingly eager to study your body structure."
