Path of Light.

Chapter 860 861. Business with the Naga Sea Tribe
The waves kept hitting the beach, and several tidal crabs were running around on the flat beach with their huge claws raised.

Zanohaq came out of the sea,

He didn't have many fond memories of the island.

Today, a stone wall has been built in front of the beach. For the Naga Sea Clan, it may cost more to retake the island from the half-blood elves...

The Zanohak tribe does not currently have such capabilities.

Their tribe is now able to return to live in the waters of Kui Island, which is the result of an agreement with the leader of this group of half-elves.

The sea water flowed down his sturdy chest. He shook his wet hair and wiped the sea water off his face with his hands. The sea breeze blew on his body, and he could clearly feel the gentleness...

The Naga sea tribe have no sweat glands in their skin, so they are not used to coming out of the sea during the heat of the day.

But in the evening, being able to lie on the rocks by the sea for a while would be a very good choice for many Naga sea creatures in the Spine of Rage.

A team of Naga warriors followed behind Zanohak, and the Naga mermaid with a light golden body was also among the crowd.

Lanterns had been lit on the dock not far away. The formerly noisy dock had gradually become quiet. No foreign merchant ships had docked there recently. All the three-masted sailing ships moored at the dock were Roy's three-masted sailing ships, including those robbed from the Lost Sea and the gray dwarf bandits. Currently, there were more than thirty three-masted sailing ships moored around the dock.

The half-elf crew had accumulated a great deal of experience in repairing and modifying ships at the Partington Island Shipyard, so after the twenty three-masted sailing ships left behind by the gray dwarf bandits were towed back to the dock, they immediately began repairs.

Every day a large number of half-elves gather at the repair shop on the west side of the pier.

There are five docks here, all of which were left behind by the gray dwarf bandits.

Although these docks are not yet suitable for shipbuilding, it is very convenient to repair ships here...

The Nagas can freely enter and exit the Kui Island Pier recently, but they cannot get close to the dock on the west side of the pier.

Chief Nozahak had just woken up and had not been able to spend more time with his new love on the giant clam bed before he was called over by his daughter Narnia.

Although he was somewhat reluctant, he still brought his daughter to Kui Island...

A few days ago, he asked his daughter Nania to promise in person that she would never go to the island of Kuei to play. It was obvious that his daughter took his words as a joke and did not fulfill the promise, which made him even more unhappy.

Although my daughter does not have the tri-colored fish tail that symbolizes the Naga nobility, the golden and blue scales all over her body also indicate that the blood in her body is constantly being purified.

As a member of the Naga tribe of the Spine of Rage, Narnia possesses very good blood talent. Zanohak has been training her as the heir of the tribe...

Zanohak just smiled gently as his daughter excitedly talked about her recent friends, Miss Tiffany and Miss Moira.

After coming out of the sea, his daughter Narnia kept silent. Nozahak saw two women and one man sitting on the rocks, a half-elf, a half-elf and a Naga mermaid, so he went straight over.

Roy stood up and walked in front of Chief Zanohak. He was at least one meter shorter than Chief Zanohak.

Zanohak's strong body exudes a full sense of oppression.

"I have wanted to see you again for a long time. Recently, I have been busy dealing with the mess left behind by the gray dwarves after they attacked the island. I haven't dealt with it completely yet. I have been delayed in meeting you. Please forgive me."

Miss Tiffany stood beside Roy and translated it word for word to Chief Zanohak.

Seeing the friendliness on Roy's face, Chief Zanohak also laughed, and a hint of dominance appeared on his ugly face...

"Boss Roy, no matter what, I should have been the one who took the initiative to invite you. After all, you took back the waters of Que Island from the gray dwarves and were willing to share it with our Zanohak tribe. I will always remember the friendship of the half-blood elves to the Zanohak Naga tribe."

Chief Zanohak spoke very politely, and it was obvious that he was not as rough and unrestrained as he looked.

He is also fully qualified as the leader of the Zanohak tribe.

No wonder they were able to find a place in Gomez City when the Zanohak tribe was at its weakest...

You have to know that the Naga sea people have a strong sense of territory, especially the Naga tribes will not give up an inch of land.

"I invited you here this time because I want to talk to you more about the trade between the half-blood elves and the Zanohak Naga tribe. I believe you should know that the Nagas of the Zanohak tribe and the half-blood elves of Kuei Island have been doing some barter transactions near the Kuei Island dock recently."

Roy said to Chief Zanohak.

Zanohak nodded to indicate that he knew about it.

"I think this trade will foster a deeper friendship between the Nagas and the half-elves."

Roy continued:
"And I also hope that the food tastes of the Zanohak tribe Nagas can be more diverse. I found that Nagas also like to eat fruits. We are willing to provide the Zanohak tribe Nagas with common fruits such as apples, lemons, and oranges. At the same time, we also hope that the Zanohak Naga sea tribe can provide us with some deep-sea fish, such as tuna and salmon..."

When Chief Zanohak heard what Roy said, the smile on his face gradually became more natural, his body relaxed, and the last bit of his vigilance disappeared.

"That's no problem! In fact, Boss Roy, you may not know that the waters of Kui Island are a great natural fishing area. Otherwise, our Zanohak tribe would not have been obsessed with this area. Every spring and autumn, this is where tuna schools migrate. We are fully capable of providing you with the freshest sea fish..."

Chief Zanohak said excitedly.

When talking about these topics, Chief Zanohak seemed more positive.

"Recently, I have also tasted a lot of apples and lemons brought back from Narnia. These fruits really taste better when paired with fish..."

As she spoke, Nanya, who was standing behind him, pried two oysters off the reef with a dagger, dripped some lemon juice on them, and asked her father to taste them.

After Zanohak tasted the oysters, he became even happier.

“So these oysters can be eaten like this…”

He ate more than twenty oysters in one breath, and it looked like he had not had dinner yet. In the end, even his daughter Nanya couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stopped, feeling that he was still unsatisfied.

Then he asked the Naga warriors behind him to dig some oysters, drip some lemon juice on them and try them.

As expected, it received unanimous praise from the Naga sea people... Roy took out a few ordinary black iron daggers from his magic waist bag. These daggers didn't even have scabbards, and the handles and blades were made completely in one piece. The handles were just roughly wrapped with some linen to prevent them from rubbing against the hands. They looked a bit crude, but the daggers were made of solid materials.

The daggers were attached to a linen belt, twelve in a row.

Seeing the doubtful look on Chief Zanohak's face, Roy immediately explained:

"Actually, the reason I asked you to meet this time is not specifically to discuss the trade of these fruits and sea fish. After all, the Nagas and the elves have already started this kind of trade at the dock."

He pointed to the dagger on his belt and continued:

"What I want to talk about are these ordinary black iron daggers. I happen to have some channels that can help me get ordinary daggers and swords made of this material..."

"These daggers are made of the most common black iron. There is no magical metal in them, so they cannot bear any magical runes. However, the surface has been treated with anti-corrosion, so it is not easy to rust even if used in the sea."

As he spoke, Roy picked up a black iron dagger, swung it between his fingers, and then held it in his backhand.

Right in front of Chief Zanohak, Roy was hitting the black reef with all his strength. Half of the dagger's blade was inserted into the black reef, and the remaining half of the dagger's blade was exposed outside the reef, making a buzzing sound.

Chief Zanohak saw Roy signaling him with his eyes, asking him to pull the black iron dagger out of the reef...

With a clang,
The dagger was pulled out from the tiny crack in the stone. Chief Zanohak subconsciously looked at the edge of the blade. What surprised him was that there was not a single scratch on the edge of the black iron dagger...

It can be seen that the hardness of the dagger blade is very high, and there is no crack on the blade, which shows that the dagger is also very strong.

"I found that the Naga warriors in the Zanohak tribe are generally equipped with long-handled weapons such as tridents. These long-handled weapons are sufficient to meet combat needs, but the Naga warriors are not equipped with such portable daggers. You can think of this dagger as a tableware. For example, when you need to handle large marine fish or pry shells, this dagger can bring you great convenience..."

After Roy finished speaking, he was even worried that Chief Zanohak might not fully understand what he said.

He placed a lively yellow snapper on the reef, then skillfully scraped off the scales with a dagger, and then cut from the spine. With a series of smooth movements, he easily cut off two complete pieces of meat from the yellow snapper, and even peeled off the skin.

Soon two pieces of crystal clear fish meat were placed on the sea rocks. He handed a piece of fish meat to Chief Zanohak, indicating that he could taste it.

Leader Zanohak had never eaten a fish prepared this way before. Not only were the internal organs removed, but the fish was also skinned and shaved, and even a pinch of sea salt was sprinkled on the fish meat...

Chief Zanohak and the Naga sea tribe he brought with him thought: So this is how the elves usually eat fish!

Zanohak picked up the piece of fish that Roy handed over and put it in his mouth to chew. Sure enough, eating sea bream this way was ten times more delicious than usual.

Normally, the Nagas don’t even scrape the scales off the fish when they eat them. They just eat them raw after catching them.

"With this knife, you can cut the meat from any sea fish and make it taste even better."

"I can provide this black iron dagger to the naga of the Zanohak tribe."

Roy said finally.

It was obvious that Chief Zanohak was very tempted.

He felt that after interacting with the elves for a period of time, the Nagas' daily lives might change...

He is not an old stubborn person among the Naga sea tribe, and he doesn't mind if the Nagas change for the better.

"I want to know what you need and what we can give in exchange for these daggers?" Chief Zanohak asked Roy.

"Tuna, Kohler shells, magic crystals, etc. are all fine. They are not expensive here. As long as you can gather fifty palm-sized Kohler shells, you can exchange them for a black iron dagger. If you have magic crystals, one magic crystal can be exchanged for six daggers. But if it is tuna, it would be best if it is a big fish that is almost as tall as me, so that you can exchange it for a dagger like this..."

Roy told the price of the black iron dagger, which was simply one hundred kolers per dagger, which was about five times higher than the market price in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

"Yes, I shall be glad to buy some..."

Chief Zanohak readily agreed. These black iron daggers were very important to him and could greatly enhance his combat effectiveness in hand-to-hand combat.

What he was thinking was that a large number of tuna would pass by Kui Island in a few days, and he wanted to exchange the tuna for some black iron daggers...

Now he likes Roy more and more.

"Also, I have a business deal I want to discuss with you."

Roy continued.

Zanohak also murmured in his heart, no wonder so many half-blood elves call you "Boss Roy", as the leader of the half-blood elves, why do you always have so much business to discuss?

"I heard that the Naga tribe picked up some metal bases from some gray dwarf shipwrecks, and now they are left outside the city of Gomez. Those metal bases are completely useless to the Naga tribe, but I am very interested in those metals. I want to buy them from the Nagas, but I don't know who to find..."

Chief Zanohak hesitated for a moment and said to Roy:

"I know about the metal ingots outside of Gomez City, but they don't belong to me. They belong to Lord Gomez. If you want that pile of junk, you must get Lord Gomez's consent."

Roy's eyes revealed disappointment that was hard to conceal.

"If you really want to buy that pile of junk, I can go to City Lord Gomez and talk to him first. If he is willing to sell it to you, that would be the best. But if he doesn't want to sell it to you, then I can't help you..."

Chief Zanohak paused for a moment before mocking himself:
"After all, I am just the leader of a remote tribe and cannot influence him."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Roy was very happy when he saw that Chief Zanohak agreed to help with this matter.

A few people chatted in the area near the sea reef until very late. The Naga sea tribe are night owls, and many Nagas will sleep on the beach at the bottom of the sea during the day and only come out at night.

Some Naga sea tribes discovered that the leader was also chatting with the elves on this sea reef. Although he did not come over, he was also active nearby...
