Shortly after Richard returned, Stephanie and Hiatt found Richard together.

When Richard saw Hiatt, he was still quite surprised.

I saw that Hiatt's complexion was much better than before.

Obviously, with Stephanna's assistance, the ancestor of the Knight family turned a disaster into a blessing. He successfully burned the swamp giant's blood and successfully broke through to the middle of level one, adding more than ten years to his life.

Under such circumstances, Hiatt was naturally more respectful to Richard.

If it was 100% forced before.

So now it is half forced, and half convinced.

After all, a person's heart will not change so quickly.

Hiatt bowed respectfully to Richard and said, "Sir Richard, I just went to collect the latest information. The ancient wizard site that was suddenly discovered on the Crab Claw Peninsula seems to be the site of an ancient wizard school that specializes in water - the Tidal School."

"Although this school has been lost in the long river of history, when the Tidal School was still around, it was famous for its water magic. This was a great attraction for the sea people and some wizards who specialized in water magic."

"Secondly, the location of this island happens to be on the edge of the offshore, close to the open sea, which also gives the sea people an excuse to intervene."

"However, the news said that this site is severely damaged and not very attractive to the second-level wizards. Therefore, on the side of the sea tribe, only a clan close to the Crab Claw Peninsula, the Slippery Blade Naga Clan, is currently confronting the wizards of the kingdom."

Richard nodded, he understood.

Both sides have ideas about the ruins and will not give in easily.

But this is just a badly damaged site and the great wizards are not interested in it, so now the first-level wizards are fighting for this area.

"Then how strong is this sea tribe - the Slippery Blade Naga Clan?" Richard asked casually.

"Well, Lord Richard, we don't know much about the sea tribe. We only know the appearance of the Slippery Blade Naga. Both men and women are handsome, have scales on their bodies, and have fins on their backs and arms. But we don't know much about the strength of their entire clan."

Richard thought about it and agreed.

It would be incomprehensible if the intelligence agencies on the continent of Essos could investigate all the intelligent creatures in the vast ocean. It would be normal if they could not investigate clearly.

"In that case, we'll go find out the rest of the information after we arrive at Crab Claw Peninsula."

"Stephana, tomorrow morning, we will set off for Crab Claw Peninsula."

"Okay, Master!" Stephanie's face lit up.

"Hyat, the Knight family will still be left to you to manage. I don't want to see what happened before happen again." Richard turned around and emphasized to Hiat again.

"Lord Richard, this is natural, please rest assured."

The next day.

Richard and Stephana rode on their horned hippogryphs and flew straight to the Crab Claw Peninsula.

Although the Crab Claw Peninsula is just a peninsula, it is a vast area. Its area is not smaller than Richard's hometown, Rossby County, and is even much larger.

Richard's destination this time was the county town of Crab Claw Peninsula - White Harbor City.

The city of Baigang is close to the sea and not far from the island where the ruins were discovered.

After arriving at White Harbor City, he had to take a boat to the island. Fortunately, he had a flying mount, otherwise the bumpy ride would have been enough for Richard to endure.

In addition, with the hostility with the Slippery Blade Naga Clan, the danger of going out to sea from White Harbor City has increased dramatically. Going to the island, it is naturally safer and more convenient to ride a flying mount than by boat.

As for why they had to make friends with the sea tribe instead of flying directly from the Crab Claw Peninsula to the Loras Peninsula of the Vitrol Continent? Richard originally thought so.

But later, after he understood the situation, he found that his idea was a bit unrealistic.

Do you know why the Storm Strait between the Crab Claw Peninsula of Essos and the Loras Peninsula of Vetroor is called the Storm Strait? After a few days of understanding, Richard realized that there was a huge number of Storm Elements lingering over the Storm Strait. Storm Elements were first-order elemental creatures.

These elemental creatures, like the fire elements and rolling stone elements that Richard encountered in the Scorched Earth Secret Realm, were created due to the special geographical environment and gradually grew and developed. Their history is so long that much of it can no longer be verified.

The Storm Strait is located in the center of the strong convection between the north and south oceans. Hurricanes are severe all year round and it is a geographical feature that the storm element likes best.

It is said that among this huge group of storm elements, there are not only hurricane lords as high as the third level, but also higher-level ones.

If Richard dared to ride his flying mount over there, he would probably be crushed to ashes.

But the sea route is different.

Because the huge amount of storm elements absorbed the energy from the convective air, the Storm Strait was calm most of the time except for a limited one or two months.

Therefore, after avoiding the core area of ​​the storm element, the Storm Strait became a prosperous shortcut for sea transportation.

Most of the goods from the Kingdom of Heron to the Commercial Alliance are transported via this sea route.

Richard and Stephana chatted all the way and flew straight to White Harbor City.

At this time, the role of the horned eagle was reflected. The airflow was automatically divided to both sides, allowing the two to talk calmly while flying at high speed.

If it were a swamp dragon, it would probably get a mouthful of air as soon as it tried to speak while flying at high speed! ——Inside a tent on an unknown island.

Daenerys was wearing a light blue wizard robe and holding the iconic icicle staff in her hand. At the moment, she was discussing something with several wizards.

"Daenerys, the Slipblade Naga clan said that their prince, Haz, will come in person tomorrow to resolve the ownership of this site. By then, it will be difficult for us to defend this island."

The one who spoke was also a female wizard, also wearing a white wizard robe with a rushing stream of water patterned on the chest with light blue lines.

It is the logo of the Hydashia Academy of the Business Alliance.

I saw a handsome man next to me who was also wearing a white robe with a running water logo on his chest. He said:

"Yes, Daenerys, the Slipblade clan is quite powerful. I'm afraid we can't resist them with just a few of us."

While speaking, the other person's eyes were fixed on Daenerys affectionately, like a suitor.

The man's name is Haytham Milton, and he is currently a teacher at Hydrashia Academy. He and Daenerys once had the same tutor.

From the moment Daenerys entered school, Haytham was amazed by her beauty. She had a rare talent for ice, a high aptitude as a wizard, and a beautiful appearance. She was simply the best companion on the path to becoming a wizard.

Although Daenerys' personality is a bit cold, this can highlight her uniqueness, and he feels more at ease after being together.

This time he came to the Kingdom of Heron, saying that he was looking for a rare supernatural creature that only lived on the continent of Bias, but everyone who knew him knew that his purpose was not so good.

The search for supernatural creatures was fake, and coming to the Kingdom of Harren to visit Daenerys was real.

It would be even better if Daenerys could be convinced!

In terms of family background, he is also the son of the Kingdom of Milton, one of the components of the business alliance. The identity and status of the prince of the kingdom are very consistent with Daenerys.

He had persuaded Daenerys to stay in the academy to teach more than once before, but Daenerys declined.

For Daenerys, her home is in the Kingdom of Harron, in the City of Griffins, Pentos. Although Hydrashia Academy is good, it is not her hometown after all.

But Daenerys is one of them.

This made Haytham very helpless.

At this time, after listening to the analysis of her two companions, Daenerys kept frowning, as if she was thinking about something.

When the three of them arrived, seven or eight wizards from the kingdom had already fought with the Slipblade Clan.

Obviously, fighting against sea wizards on an island with abundant water element energy particles would be a thankless task for human wizards. In addition, the wizards of the kingdom themselves were not very strong, so they collapsed at the first touch.

When Daenerys arrived, even after she revealed her identity, the Slipblade Naga clan did not take it seriously.

Without enough strength, you don’t even have the right to speak!

After a small battle, the other side suffered a small loss and agreed to report to the higher-ups, informing the upper echelons of the Slippery Blade Clan that the Human Kingdom had sent representatives.

Just now, the other party sent a message saying that Prince Haze of their Slipblade clan will arrive on the island tomorrow to discuss the ownership of the ruins with Daenerys.

To say it is a discussion is a nice way of putting it, but it is likely that it will depend on who has the bigger fist.

In the wizarding world, strength is respected.

They conducted a preliminary exploration yesterday. Although the site was severely damaged, one of the small secret cultivation realms seemed to be relatively well preserved. After being closed for so many years, there should be quite a few rare ancient herbs in the secret cultivation realm.

Moreover, these herbs should be more effective against water wizards.

What the human wizard thought of, the sea wizard obviously also thought of.

Don't forget, almost all sea wizards are water wizards.

However, outside this small cultivation secret realm, there is a relatively complex defensive magic formation.

This is both good news and bad news.

The good news is that the defensive magic array outside is operating normally, so the small cultivation secret realm inside is most likely intact.

But the bad news is that it may take them several days to crack it.

The presence of the sea tribe wizards who were watching them closely made it impossible for them to calm down and crack this ancient witch formation.

If they happen to crack the code and the sea clan wizards suddenly attack them, then they will be doing the sea clan a favor in vain.

Of course, if the sea wizards were a little more insidious, they could ambush them outside after they finished searching the secret realm.

That would definitely cause them to suffer heavy losses or even their death!

In that case, all items found during the exploration of the secret realm will belong to the sea people.

For a moment, Daenerys was indecisive, not knowing whether she should try her luck and break the witch circle in advance before the opponent's Prince Haze arrived.

Or wait for the other party to come and have a face-to-face talk.

Suddenly, the guard outside the door reported: "Your Highness, the sea tribe is here again!!"

"So soon! Didn't you say it would be tomorrow?" Daenerys was surprised and immediately walked out of the tent.

I saw a group of blue dots appearing on the distant horizon.

If you look closely, you can see clearly that seven or eight giant seahorses are rushing towards this side.

There was clearly someone on the seahorse's back, but the distance was too far to make out the face clearly.

Seahorses swim very fast on the water surface, leaving long white water trails behind them.

After a while, the human wizard saw the other person's face clearly.

These naga of the Slipblade clan have human faces. Both men and women are very handsome, with dense scales all over their bodies. They have long fins behind their ears, behind their foreheads, and on their long backs.

Their hands are sturdy, and there is a protrusion of sharp cartilage on their forearms, which is also the origin of the name of their clan.

At this moment, most of the Slideblade Nagas are holding harpoons and javelins made of special materials in their hands, and their lower bodies are similar to fish tails, which should be some kind of mutation that has occurred in order to adapt to marine life.

Judging from their appearance, these sea wizards do not look like wizards at first glance, but more like warriors.

Leading the group was an exceptionally tall male naga, obviously, this should be the Prince Haz.

Daenerys couldn't figure out why the other party came so quickly! When Prince Haz arrived, he was still riding on the giant seahorse that was more than two meters tall, and he looked around with an oppressive look.

Soon he spotted Daenerys, who was surrounded by many stars, so he said in a deep voice in the ancient Hutt language: "Human, according to our agreement with you, this is the territory of the Sea Clan. Take your people and leave here quickly."

This immediately made Daenerys and other human wizards very angry.

She didn't expect that the other party, Prince Haz, would be so disrespectful. It seemed that he was not here to negotiate, but to overturn the table.

That’s right, Prince Haz’s aura is very powerful, it should be at the high level of the first level!

Among them, the highest ones are only himself and Haytham, but they are only in the middle of level one, so it is normal that the other party does not take wizards like us seriously.

"Prince Haz, although this place is closer to the open sea, it is still near the coast. Therefore, the ownership of this island should be ours." Daenerys said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"No, this is already the open sea. Humans, if you don't evacuate, we will launch an attack, and you will be the one who provokes the war." Prince Haz on the opposite side waved the trident in his hand, pointed it viciously at Daenerys, and said sternly.

"you"

"However, in order to avoid provoking a war between you humans and our sea people, I can give you three chances. As long as someone can defeat me one-on-one, this ruin will belong to you."

The strong Prince Haz said with a sly smile.

This immediately made the human wizards look at each other in bewilderment.

Daenerys's brain also began to work rapidly.

You said the other party didn't show any goodwill?

The other party talked to you and made a seemingly fair offer.

If they don't accept it and declare war directly, if a dispute between mainland wizards and sea wizards really arises, I'm afraid the Heron Kingdom alone cannot bear such responsibility.

But you said that the other party released goodwill, right? The other party's aura of the first level high stage, among his group of people, there is almost no rival. In addition, the trident in the other party's hand does not seem to be an ordinary magic weapon.

Daenerys thought to herself that even if she fought on her own, she might not be able to defeat the enemy.

To be honest, the chances of winning are really slim! For a moment, facing this choice, Daenerys hesitated.
