After simply arranging the affairs of the tribe, Vashj set off for Amethyst Island with a few maids.
With the help of the sea crystal dragon Zora, they can reach the destination by swimming quickly on the seabed for about ten hours.
It was a little slower than the time when Krober returned from Saint Gold Castle riding a dragon.
However, Krober was not in a hurry to return to Amethyst Island this time. He and Ansel got along very well.
So they flew and talked along the way, and Ansel even performed some special flying moves himself when he was in the mood.
This significantly increases the time they spend on the road.
————
The next morning, Vashj rose from the bottom of the sea riding a sea crystal dragon and appeared in the warning waters around Amethyst Island.
The appearance of the sea dragon species caused the surrounding patrol fleets to fall into chaos.
"Don't panic! What are you panicking about? Everyone, stand in alert formation!"
On a medium-sized warship, squadron leader Old Hans was trying his best to calm the panicked soldiers.
As a living being of flesh and blood, we naturally have a certain degree of fear and awe towards creatures like "dragons".
The same is true for Old Hans.
But as one of the witnesses of the Green Leaf Island incident, he naturally knew that his lord, Lord Krober, also had the help of a dragon.
Although he knew nothing about the dragon's level, it was precisely because of this that he had a certain degree of confidence.
"After all, they're all giant dragons. Even if we can't defeat them, we can probably hold out for a long time..."
It was such a simple idea, but it gave him a certain sense of security.
"No moving! Everyone, return to your posts! Anyone who disobeys will be punished for violating military orders!"
Old Hans' strength has improved by leaps and bounds since the death of Mace. With his military merits while following Krober to explore the new island, he successfully exchanged for a wood-attribute potion, and with his luck, he awakened his fighting spirit and became a formal knight.
So he was promoted from a small captain to a squadron captain who was in charge of a medium-sized warship alone.
He had a hundred soldiers on hand to obey his orders.
As an official knight, his prestige in the entire team is still relatively high.
With his words, most of the soldiers returned to normal. Although they still looked trembling, at least they were able to face the enemy in a normal state.
"Sir, I am Hans, the captain of the Second Patrol Fleet of the Amethyst Islands. This is the territorial waters of the Golden Duchy. I wonder what brings you here?"
Old Hans stimulated his fighting spirit and asked the leader on the sea-blue dragon.
In terms of life level, Old Hans is simply unable to communicate with Vashj.
Just a slight glance from a dragon knight-level warrior would cause a huge amount of magic damage to old Hans, who was still a flesh and blood body.
This is also a common saying:
The origin of "Dragons do not cast their eyes on the weak."
"My brave soldier, the one before you is the most honorable and powerful High Priestess of the Naga tribe—Her Excellency Vashj.
We are here as the rulers of the Naga tribe, and this is our credential."
Vashj did not respond to Old Hans' words. As a powerful dragon knight, it would be too low of her status to respond to the questioning of a formal knight.
Even if the soldier is backed by the Golden Duchy or the Emerald Kingdom.
So it was the maid behind her who answered Old Hans' question.
She threw the letter of credence onto the boat, which was tied with a green ribbon, a symbol of peace. This meant that they came not with malicious intent, but to maintain relations between the two sides.
Old Hans heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Fortunately, it was not a war, otherwise everyone on this ship might not be able to withstand the attack of this dragon.
But speaking of it...
Why is this dragon so ugly?
Never mind, no matter how ugly it is, it’s still a dragon.
"Excuse me, Madam...? I need to report to Amethyst Island. Please wait here until they allow you to enter."
After saying that, Old Hans ignored the responses of the Naga people and took out the magic prop from his hand, turned it to yellow, and fired three shots into the air with "bang bang bang".
Yellow means a non-hostile stranger, and one shot means they are weak and can be handled by the soldiers.
Two shots means that the weakest ones are all Earth Knights, and Master Shirley or Master Krober must take action personally.
Three shots represent a strong man at the level of a dragon knight.
The three yellow beams of light shot up into the sky and were quickly captured by the lookout on the Amethyst Island Lighthouse. The lookout recorded the information on paper and sent it to Hyel Jacaranda's office.
"The Naga High Priest? A Dragon Knight-level warrior?"
Hyer looked at the information in his hand and almost jumped up from his chair.
God have mercy on him, he is an official knight and usually has to be respectful when he sees the Earth Knight. Now that a Dragon Knight has come, how should he welcome him?
Duke level?
"Go, prepare the welcoming ceremony immediately and greet the Duke according to his standards!"
Haier immediately gave orders. The Amethyst Islands’ attitude towards the Naga tribe was unclear at present. As the person in charge of the internal affairs of the Amethyst Islands, he had to make as few mistakes as possible.
And we must strive to be as perfect as possible without making any mistakes.
"Hurry, hurry! Red carpet! Flowers! Get them ready immediately!"
When Hyell's order was issued, the officials of Amethyst Island were thrown into chaos.
As new officials in the new territory, they had no experience in welcoming dragon knight-level warriors and could only prepare according to the procedures orally dictated by Hyel.
The red carpet is ready, but the length is not up to the requirements.
There are flowers, too, but the variety and quantity are limited. The few flowers that are there are placed alone on both sides of the road, looking very shabby.
“....."
"Oh, forget it. The conditions are limited. Let's just leave it at that."
Hyer and a group of officials worked for nearly ten minutes before they managed to set up the venue.
"Welcoming ceremony! Start now!"
Vashj walked onto the red carpet with several maids, and the Sea Crystal Dragon Zora flew slowly in the low sky.
On both sides of the road were people specially recruited by Hyer. A small number of them held flowers in their hands and put on a "warm welcome" look.
"Humans are still like this, caring about appearances." (Sea People language)
A Naga maid said from behind Vashj.
"Shut up! Have the most basic respect for humans. The Naga are no longer the overlords of the oceans of ancient times. We are far weaker than humans now!" (Sea People's Language)
As they were walking on the red carpet, two powerful auras were flying towards Amethyst Island at an extremely fast speed.
