Chapter 280 Conspiracy
The next morning, the Naga maid took Osius to stand on the grain ship.
"Knight Osius, why do I see that you don't look very good?"
The Naga maid asked curiously. In her impression, Osius has always been a sinister... no, he is afraid of chaos in the world.
But now she saw the entanglement and faint fear on Osius's face.
This is something she can't understand.
"Nothing, I just didn't rest well during this period."
Osius replied lightly.
Originally, until this morning, he was still happily having fun on Amethyst Island.
As a result, Yan, the butler of Rose Castle, suddenly found him and conveyed an ambiguous word.
Dog mouth?
He carefully felt the words left by Krober for him, and finally figured out the meaning of the two words "dog mouth".
"Does it mean that I should talk less......"
After thinking for a while, he realized that it turned out that Krober was warning him not to reveal the news that he had contracted Deep Purple.
"You warned me directly, but you had to threaten me with a dog's mouth. Come here, Cerberus, pat my head."
Cerberus, the fantasy beast contracted by Osus, is a dark dog of the underworld. He met him when he was transformed into fighting spirit before. He is a guy who is in the same boat with him.
"Alas, I have to be a cannon fodder again. Do you think I should change the boss again?"
Osus rubbed Cerberus's dog head vigorously. With his keen intuition, he has smelled an unusual smell from the current actions of the Naga tribe.
"Forget it, just go with the flow. Anyway, the world will not let me die so easily."
Putting his hand back, Osus turned his sights back to the port of Amethyst Island.
He has been living in the Naga tribe and leading a dull life. At this time, he really doesn't want to leave this city.
"They are all dragon knights...but I really don't want to accept such a harsh requirement."
After spitting out a sentence inexplicably, Osus turned and left the deck and returned to his room.
"Okay! Let's go!"
After the food was loaded, the Nagas and some boatmen sailed to the target sea area.
On one of the ships, a sturdy worker asked his companion:
"How is it, are you ready? This is the first time that Master Krober has issued a mission to the Secret Temple. We can't make any mistakes."
"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared."
Another boatman replied.
This is one of the "hidden prices" that Krober mentioned.
The Nagas are facing a war at this time, so they will definitely choose the fastest and closest way to return to the base camp.
And the spies of the Secret Temple can record this route.
Don't think it's not very useful, because the Naga tribe doesn't know that humans will master this route, so Krober can use this to make an intelligence gap.
"Hey, I have to say it, the shielding device developed by Master Ronald is really useful."
The shielding device, also known as the mental power shielding device, is Master Ronald's private collection and one of his proud works in his early years. It is never shown to others.
Krober didn't know about this magic item that can block mental power until Samuel mentioned it by chance.
For this operation, Krober specially lent it to help the Secret Temple complete the task.
After all, the mental power of the Naga has always been strong, and it is no problem to cover it on the warship to monitor everyone's every move.
Therefore, a magic item that can block the mental power of the Naga people plays a very important role.
"Okay, you go and draw a sea chart and draw the nearest route from Amethyst Island to the Naga tribe. Lord Krober will be very useful later."
The Nagas who are using mental power to monitor naturally did not find anything unusual in this place.
Moreover, they are always arrogant and will not take the initiative to pay attention to the movements of humans, especially these humans who don't even have fighting spirit. If it weren't for Krober's existence behind them, I'm afraid these Nagas would not even look at them.

Naga tribe.
All the messengers sent by Vashj have returned, and most of them brought good news to Vashj.
"The squid tribe declares support for your war, and will provide 300 logistics soldiers and 100 kilograms of seaweed."
"The sea snake tribe declares support for your war, and will provide 800 combat soldiers, including three fantasy beast knights and one dragon knight."
The sea snake tribe lives in the central and northern waters of the Blue Sea, and is one of the most powerful tribes in the area.
The tribe has thousands of people and also raises a sea dragon. About a few decades ago, the current patriarch of the sea snake tribe successfully contracted and was promoted to a dragon knight-level strongman.
For a time, it was the most popular.
However, the news brought by the envoys was not all good news. The Naga envoy who was sent to the royal mermaid tribe returned and brought bad news to everyone.
"The mermaid tribe is currently hiding from the world, and they expressed strong dissatisfaction with our initiative to provoke a war.
Not only did they reject our application for an audience, but they also ordered that no affiliated races under their command should provide us with assistance."
As soon as these words came out, the Naga tribe, which was originally in a warm atmosphere, fell into a weird atmosphere.
"Provoked a war? It was obviously the people of the Kuer tribe who went too far! And they even issued a declaration of genocide against me. You tell me that it was me who initiated the war?"
Vashj couldn't help it. She was the victim, but the mermaids blamed her for everything.
"The jellyfish tribe affiliated with the mermaids had sent people to investigate. At present, the Kuer tribe did not seem to be preparing for war. They still followed the ocean currents to lead a nomadic life.
On the contrary, we... first gathered a large number of people, and then hoarded food. In their eyes, this was the real preparation for war."
As the Naga messenger finished speaking, Vashj remembered why she felt a little uncomfortable when she came back from the grassland.
Now that she thought about it, this was a trap set by the Kuer tribe for her, a conspiracy specially prepared for the Naga tribe!
"Orchi!!"
Vashj gnashed her teeth and roared. She didn't expect that the Kuer tribe, which was always known for its recklessness and vulgarity, would also start to play conspiracy and intrigue.
And this conspiracy was very useful. Even she stumbled.
Kuyala and Kugel didn't have that brain, only the weird second leader Orchi could come up with this idea.
Thinking of the conversation they had last time, Vashj felt a little bit scared besides being angry.
"Orchi, he guessed almost all my moves..."
