Path of Light.

Chapter 858 859. The Ridge of Raging Waves
Of course, there are also some Naga sea tribesmen who do not like to lie on the coral reefs on the seabed when they sleep at night, but prefer to lie on the reefs on the islands.

They would expose their upper bodies above the sea surface, while their lower bodies would be submerged in the sea...

These naga from the Zanohak tribe belong to the Spine of Rage...

Their tribal heritage has the ability to control storms and huge waves. The dorsal fins of most Naga warriors are as sharp as blades. The tribesmen value the use of force and often serve as the vanguard of the Naga Legion.

This also resulted in the Zanohak tribe's Naga warrior death rate on the battlefield being the highest among all Naga tribes.

They like to live in shallow sea areas, so they have been living around Kui Island.

The Nagas who often live in shallow sea areas have most of their scales on their upper bodies degenerated due to their living habits, exposing their delicate skin without sweat glands. Compared with those Nagas whose bodies are covered with scales, the Naga mermaids of the Zanohak tribe are more in line with the aesthetics of the elves.

Just near a reef near the port dock, the Nagas emerged from the sea and hid in the reef.

The lights on the Kui Island Pier were bright at night, attracting some Nagas.

Since they knew that the half-elves had no ill intentions towards them, they bravely sneaked into the reef area and prepared to spend a wonderful night there.

But how could these Nagas know that the great magician Grams was preparing to test the magic cannon...

'boom! ’

A three-meter-high sea reef suddenly exploded more than 20 meters away from the group of Nagas, and then two-thirds of it disappeared in the beam of light filled with the aura of destruction, leaving only the broken base...

Several Naga warriors from the Zanohak tribe were so frightened that they dived into the sea. They hid on the bottom of the sea and peered out in fear...

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the elf guards rushing up.

After waiting for a while, I saw a group of elves gathered around the sea reef and discussing something. There were no elf guards searching the reef area.

The Naga sea creatures hid beneath the sea, not daring to move.

After the group of elves left, the Naga warriors swam quietly towards the coral reef sea.

The waves hit the rocks, washing away the last trace of their arrival here.

"Don't they want us to live on the island?"

The young Naga warrior Caps hurriedly followed at the end of the team and spoke in a low voice.

The companion in front immediately said:
"Of course! The leader and their leader had agreed that the islands here belong to the half-elves, and the oceans here will be returned to us. If we sneak to the islands, they will definitely be unhappy..."

Capes was a little confused and asked again:

"But why didn't they rush over to catch us?"

The companion immediately said: "Maybe they just want to give us a small warning. After all, we get along well with them..."

Another companion also spoke up:
"Yes, although these half-blood elves are a bit overbearing, at least they are not like those vicious gray dwarf bandits."

As they were talking, a string of bubbles appeared from the three Nagas.

These Naga warriors swam back to the coral reefs.

Chief Zanohak is not here these days.

He returned to Gomez City with a group of Naga warriors, intending to report the situation on Kui Island to the Lord of Gomez City. He also planned to bring all the tribesmen living in the suburbs of Gomez City.

A group of Nagas spend the whole day doing nothing in the coral reef and can only find a sunny spot on the seabed to bask in the sun.

Caps followed everyone and found a piece of soft sandy beach. They drove away the flounders hiding in the sand, and then they lay on the seafloor with their bellies up, letting the sun shine through the sea surface onto their bodies...

Watching the schools of small fish swimming overhead, Capes felt his stomach begin to growl.

Just as he was about to fish out a large blue spot from the crevice of the coral reef to taste it, he felt a huge shadow appear above his head.

A three-masted sailing ship passed on the sea, with a large flock of seabirds following astern.

The Naga warriors on the seawall all sat up. There were ships passing by, so they had to be a little more vigilant...

‘Poof! ’

Capes discovered that a half-elf crew member had fallen into the sea. He was so scared that he immediately stood up and kept swinging his tail.

As a string of bubbles came out, the sailor did not surface.

……

When the elf sailor fell into the sea, he was completely dazed.

While adjusting the mainsail angle, he untied the cable on the left side. Before he could turn the winch, the protective rope next to it suddenly broke.

The broken flax rope had a very strong pulling force. The rope end, which was as thick as an arm, hit his ribs, chest, and face, and the rope end was thrown directly into the sky...

His body suddenly tilted backwards and fell directly into the sea over the side of the ship.

His companions didn't have time to help him...

His chest felt burning with pain, and he fell into the sea and swallowed several large gulps of sea water. His eyes rolled back and he passed out. His body sank uncontrollably to the bottom of the sea, and a string of bubbles rushed to the surface.

It was at this time that Capes saw the elf sailor fall into the sea.

When Capes saw the elf sailor sinking into the sea without even moving his limbs, he knew that the sailor might be in trouble.

He swam towards the elf sailor, swam his tail, and soon appeared under him. He held up the elf sailor's sinking body with both hands, swam hard, and pushed him out of the sea.

At this time, the three-masted sailing ship was still moving forward under the huge inertia.

When the elf crew members on the ship discovered that their companion had fallen into the water, they first ran to the stern of the ship to check the situation.

Everyone saw their companion emerging unconscious from the sea, with a Naga sea creature beside him. Immediately, two elven crew members jumped into the sea and swam hard towards Capes.

Several elf crew members quickly jumped onto a small wooden boat on the side of the ship, and the other half-elf crew members on the ship worked together to lower the small wooden boat.

By the time the small wooden boat came over, the elf crew member who fell into the water had already regained consciousness.

Everyone worked together to push him onto the small wooden boat, and the other half-elf crew members also climbed onto the small wooden boat, and then everyone thanked Caps...

Unfortunately, the two sides could not communicate in the same language, so they could only speak and gesture randomly.

A group of Naga warriors also emerged behind Capes.

The half-elf crew member who fell into the water was sitting in the small wooden boat, and finally remembered that he was pulled into the sea by the broken safety rope.

His companions told him that it was the Naga sea creature in front of him who saved him and lifted him out of the sea in the first place, otherwise he might have been choked to death by the sea water.

The half-elf crew member who fell into the water quickly gave Capes a thumbs up, then touched the bag at his waist, took out a few wet apples from it, and stuffed them into Capes' arms without saying anything.

Maybe he felt that just giving a few apples was not enough to express his gratitude.

He kept gesturing with his hands that he lived on the island of Kuei, while unfastening the buckle from his thigh and stuffing a delicate silver sheath dagger into Caps’s hand…

Because they were about to reach the dock of Kuei Island, the three-masted sailing ship did not turn around to pick up the half-elf crew members, but told them to row back to the dock by themselves using flag signals. So several crew members picked up two oars and rowed hard towards the dock of Kuei Island...

……

Capes wanted to refuse the gifts, but the sailor who fell into the water insisted on giving them to him, and the appearance of the exquisite dagger pierced his heart directly.

Although the Naga tribe has a blacksmith shop in the underwater volcano, the metallurgy and forging of the Naga tribe is far inferior to that of the elves and dwarves...

Most Naga warriors hold tridents in their hands.

That's because the cold forging technology mastered by the Naga Sea Clan can only produce tridents...

Although Naga warriors are equipped with abalone knives, the thin iron pieces hanging around their waists are not worthy of being called knives.

In order to limit the rise of the Naga Empire in the Endless Sea, whether it is the Grimm Empire or the Elf and Dwarf Kingdoms, they will not sell sophisticated weapons to the Naga Sea Tribe.

So when Capes saw the exquisite dagger given to him by the drowned elf sailor, he was still a little moved.

To thank the drowned sailor for the exquisite dagger, Capes decided to push their lifeboat to the dock...

Although the two sides did not speak the same language along the way, Capes could clearly feel the goodwill conveyed by the half-elf crew.

When they arrived at the dock and the lifeboat docked, it attracted a large group of half-elves to watch. When everyone heard that these Naga sea tribe members had saved the half-elves, they immediately became extremely enthusiastic.

Regardless of whether the Naga Sea Tribe liked it or not, the half-blood elves directly took out a bunch of apples and stuffed them into Caps' hands, and asked the half-blood elves who could speak Naga to tell them:

"Only apples from Kui Island are the most delicious food, whether you eat them raw, cook them into applesauce, or make wine. You always eat raw fish in the sea, so you should also eat some fruit occasionally..."

Facing the extremely enthusiastic half-blood elf, Capes could only accept it with a blank look on his face...

The Naga warriors discovered that these half-elves on the island were not as arrogant as other elves.

The elves also felt that the Nagas were very friendly. It was not like the rumors that young Naga mermaids floated on the sea, exposing their naked upper bodies, to seduce young elves to live in the sea...

This is how the initial trust between the elves and the Nagas was established.

Soon more Naga warriors ran to the dock. Lacking language communication, their method was very crude. They simply threw the tuna weighing dozens of kilograms on the wooden boards of the dock, waiting for the half-blood elves to take them.

The half-blood elves brought over a box of apples, and if both parties thought they were okay, they would complete the exchange...

……

Most of the time, both parties exchange food for food.

But there are also Naga sea tribes who can take out some unique things. These things are basically what they picked up from near the shipwreck. Some of them can be exchanged for exquisite daggers from the half-blood elves.

Although he knew that half-elves would occasionally trade silver sheathed daggers with Naga warriors, Roy did not issue a ban.

The Nagas have this kind of dagger, and they almost always use it as a table knife...

As the exchanges between the half-elves and the Naga sea people increased, more Naga sea people got to know Miss Tiffany who lived on the Black Pearl.

There is always a Naga mermaid looking for Miss Tiffany to play on the beach at dusk.

When Moira is not on patrol, she will mingle with them and play and frolic with these Naga mermaids while sitting on the rocks on the sea.

……

In the evening, Roy walked out of the Black Pearl's deck. In recent days, the great magician Grams had been in the room designing the base of the magic cannon.

But this thing is a magical product of Hextech after all.

As a magician, Grems was not proficient in metallurgy and forging, so he failed to proceed with several plans halfway through.

In the past two days, the great magician Grames even wanted to go to the forging workshop in the Jiaxi Mountains in person.

Roy also planned to go to Sun Island Bay recently. After all, there was a huge army of dark faceless men lurking in the deep sea there, so Roy had to keep a closer eye on them.

Back in the tree house, Roy found that Moira and Sabrina were not there, so he asked Wendy who was pouring him tea:
"Wendy, where is Moira? Didn't she miss her duty today?"

"Miss Moira and Miss Tiffany went to the beach..."

Wendy replied quietly.

In fact, Moira also invited her, but she felt that she could not leave the tree house casually, so she refused.

Roy looked outside.

The sun has already set below the sea, the sea surface on the west has turned orange, while the sea surface on the east has turned navy blue.

The clouds in the sky also change from light to dark...

The sea at this moment is indescribably magnificent.

Roy took off his magic pattern suit, changed into some fresh clothes, and went to the beach with Leah. They soon discovered a group of Naga mermaids in the reef area. Some of them were still swimming in the sea, and would occasionally jump out of the sea. Their graceful figures were pleasing to the eye...

Seeing Roy coming, Miss Tiffany waved to him quickly.

These Naga mermaids had just arrived in the waters of Kui Island, and it was only in the past two days that they became friends with Miss Tiffany.

Seeing Miss Tiffany invite a human over, they all looked at Roy curiously with shy sweet smiles on their faces.

Some shy Naga mermaids even hide their bodies in the sea.

Only a few Naga mermaids who were concentrating on digging oysters did not notice Roy. They used daggers to pry the oysters off the rocks and piled them on the reef.

The Nagas love to eat oysters, and the reefs along the coast of Kui Island are full of them.

Miss Tiffany was lying comfortably on a rock, and Moira was leaning against Miss Tiffany, watching the Naga mermaids digging oysters...

Roy walked over and saw Miss Tiffany prying open an oyster shell, and said:

"This is delicious with lemon juice..."

He asked Leah to go to the tree house and get some lemons.

As they were talking, the Naga mermaids also discovered Roy and they also hid behind the reefs.

Miss Tiffany pointed at Roy and introduced him in Naga:
"My friend Roy is a half-elf, you don't have to be afraid."

Soon Leah brought Roy a few lemons.

Moira's eyes widened as Roy picked up an opened oyster, squeezed lemonade over the milky white oyster meat, and then looked at Moira.

Moira was so scared that she kept shaking her head. She didn't want to eat such soft shells...

Roy handed the oyster to Miss Tiffany again and said with a smile, "Try it..."

Miss Tiffany sucked the oyster meat into her mouth, then closed her eyes and enjoyed the sweetness of the oyster. Several Naga mermaids around her also came over.
