As a loud laughter came from above the dark clouds, thousands of rays of sunlight broke through the clouds and shone down. The sea was covered in golden light, and the raging wind and waves quickly stopped.
At this moment, all the Naga troops immediately prostrated on the back of the ray and worshipped it. Dafei knew that the main character, the Dark Tide Lord, had come. With such a shocking aura and extravagance, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a god, let alone a demigod. According to the game's rules, gods would not meet mortals directly. Usually, it would be a clone, or not even a clone. At most, it would be an image.
If it was only an image that appeared in front of Dafei, then this kind of acting cool would be a bit too much, and it would be a waste of the server's resources and power.
At this moment, a huge blue beam of light shone down from the sky. Within the beam of light was a huge figure of eight arms, no, ten arms Naga! It was really an image!
For a moment, Dafei's entire army could not help but gasp in astonishment. Shiloh and the three Fishers even knelt on the spot.
What the hell, look at this acting cool! That scared me!
At this moment, the dignified voice of the image resounded through the sea and sky. "I am Neptulon, the Dark Tide Lord, the assistant of the Sea God, and the leader of the Dark Tide. Warriors, you were able to completely destroy my army of Divine Warriors, which means that your power has exceeded the limits of mortals. You are not afraid of the oppression of my army, which means that you are truly a brave warrior. I admire you very much, so I have to meet you personally. Now, I allow you to enter the Dark Tide Temple. We will continue our discussion when the time comes. "
After that, the beam of light disappeared, and the image disappeared. The dense dark clouds in the sky also dispersed with the wind. Then, the densely packed army of the temple also disappeared in the waves.
The next moment, the sea and sky were clear, and the sun was bright.
Dafei was stunned for a long time, and he could not come back to his senses. Wasn't the scene changing too fast? My emotions could not keep up at all! At this moment, a system notification sounded!
— System Notification: Congratulations! You have passed the Dark Tide assessment perfectly. Experience + 3,000,000. You have also successfully obtained the Dark Tide Lord's Appreciation and obtained the achievement . All heroes command + 100, HP + 100, Stamina + 10, all troops + 10% HP, Stamina + 10%, Morale + 1, your reputation in the Naga world + 10,000.
At this moment, the entire army erupted into thunderous cheers!
Dafei finally let out a big sigh of relief. Sure enough, after the storm came the rainbow. Life was really like the waves on the sea!
At this moment, Shiloh crawled up with tears streaming down his face. He said excitedly, "Boss! You're rich! The Dark Tide Lord appreciates you, and he will most likely agree to any of your requests! "
At this moment, the three fishermen also stepped forward and said, "Chairman, the Dark Tide Lord is probably going to talk to you about joining the Dark Tide. Please be prepared."
Holy shit! Back then, Scylla's doppelganger personally invited Big Brother to join the Sea God's Palace, but Big Brother didn't agree. Can you not ask Big Brother to join a strange organization?
Dafei said with a bitter smile, "Do I have to join? The Dark Tide has been labeled as a cult by the Alliance, right? "
The three fishermen said solemnly, "That depends on the chairman's decision. However, the chairman has annihilated one of the enemy's legions, so you have to do something for the Dark Tide Lord or something. "
Dafei nodded. "I'll consider it." Consider my a * s. All I need to do is maintain the multilateral trade relationship with Naga and Siren and make money. There's no need to care about one thing and lose the other.
The three fishermen continued, "Right, now that the Dark Tide Lord's attitude toward the chairman has changed, we can talk about the ransom again. You can even do things for the Dark Tide Lord without paying the ransom."
Dafei was overjoyed. "Great! Then we can keep the twenty or so flaming cannons!"
At my level, I might not really care about the twenty or so cannons, but they might be out of print. However, it might be a limited edition product after all. It was better to keep it as much as possible. It could be very effective on certain battlefields.
Now, the fleet was moving toward the shining temple on the horizon. Dafei, who had finally caught his breath, took the time to order takeout.
At this moment, another system notification popped up.
— System Notification: The Lilim Barracks on Fly has successfully recruited a Soul of the Lilim Army. Please check the recruitment.
Dafei raised his eyebrows. What the f * ck? Another one? This, this, this Red Name Village is quite a big team. This Feather of the Phoenix is really strong.
This is a pain in the ass. My Sea Soul Weapon is full. It can't keep up with my pace of developing new troops. How can I be worthy of the Feather of the Phoenix working so hard?
Wait, the temple warriors are gods because they can't die. As long as they die, they will be resurrected by the Dark Tide Lord. The reason why they've been annihilated and can't be revived is because their souls have been captured by my Ocean Soul Weapon. Why would I need so many souls? Why don't I use them as bargaining chips to negotiate with the Dark Tide Lord and mend my relationship with him?
After all, appreciation is appreciation, but there must be a thorn in his heart, right? The reason why he is so friendly now is because he wants to invite me to join the organization. As for how to return the souls, this is a bit troublesome. But the Archangel said that the Sea Soul Weapon is the Sea God's Divinity Fragment. It is the seal of the Sea General. As the assistant of the Sea God, the Dark Tide Lord must have a way to extract the souls, right?
Yes, let's try this! This is called borrowing his flowers to present to the Buddha! I won't give anything, wahahaha! Then the key problem is how to reject his invitation. I have to think about it carefully.
At 17 pm, Dafei took the time to eat, drink, and go to the bathroom. At this moment, the Dark Tide Temple was in front of him. It was an island densely covered with magnificent stone buildings. On the island, there was a tall building that looked like a lighthouse shining with golden light.
At this moment, the system notification rang again.
— System Notification: You have been sailing for more than 11 days. You and your team have received an additional 1.75 million EXP from the Godly Navigator Skill "Sailing Training". Your team has received additional growth potential!
— System Notification: After the harsh sea battle training, your Charm Emperor team has received growth. Attack + 10, Defense + 15, HP + 300, Mana + 300, Stamina + 10, Damage + 5. Your Cannon Emperor team has received growth. Attack + 10, Defense + 15, HP + 100, Mana + 50, Damage + 2.
Dafei was overjoyed! The sailing has borne fruit. This time, it is my Sea Demon team's turn to grow! Dafei quickly checked the Cannon Emperor's current stats.
— — Cannon Emperor: Small Spiritual Sea Creature Attack 45, Defense 50, Damage 3,762, HP 580, Attack Speed 13, Magic Resist 50%, Mana 150, Command 15, Special Skills: Flying Creature, Sea Creature, Charm, Chain Shot, Master War Machine, Ballista Master.
For the Cannon Emperor team that doesn't have much HP to begin with, this growth came at the right time! It seemed like his training this time was right. It was time to take out the greenhouse flowers to dry.
However, no matter how timely the growth was, it was still only 580 HP. In the world of Sea Monsters, it was too weak. In the battle just now, the Plasma Cannons didn't even kill a single enemy with 2500 HP. It was clear how strong the Sea Monster team was and how big the gap between the Cannon Emperor and the enemy was.
It seemed like the Cannon Emperor should focus on the safer job of shooting cannons in the future. The research and development of Lilim's Sea Demons must be progressing. However, the Cannon Emperor's current stats were "Small Spiritual Sea Creature" and not "Elite Banshee". This growth rate was quite promising. Once it grows into an Elite or even a Boss, its HP would probably not be lower than the current 3000 HP of the Angel Corps. After all, the specialty of Sea Creatures was their high HP.
Just as Dafei was deep in thought, the sound of a conch horn came from the sea in front of them. A few giant whales carrying a group of yellow named Naga suddenly appeared on the surface of the water. Then, someone shouted, "The Dark Tide Temple welcomes the Warriors! Warriors, please follow us into the port. "
There was nothing much to say. The fleet followed them all the way.
As they got closer, Dafei could finally see the full appearance of this magnificent island city. It was completely the tall, grand, and simple style of ancient Greece, which was also the style of the Twelve Palaces of the Holy Seiya of Athens.
Then, Dafei docked. Other than Dafei's ships, the rest of the ships were giant turtles and whales that were the size of reefs. Their backs were filled with all kinds of goods. The port was bustling with all kinds of Naga, Fishmen, and Lobstermen. The streets far away from the port were filled with shops. It was a scene of prosperity.
Dafei and the others were shocked. They didn't expect the Dark Tide Temple to be such a prosperous city! Other than the lack of humans, the degree of civilization was almost no different from the human Elven port cities. Compared to human ships, their turtle and whale ships could obviously be used as submarines. They were obviously more high-end and unique!
At this moment, a six-armed Naga warrior hero wearing heavy armor appeared on the port, leading a large group of Naga Warriors. "Warriors, the Dark Tide Lord wants to meet you and your hero team. Please follow me."
He actually sent a six-armed hero to pick me up? This welcome seems to be unusual! It could be seen that the Dark Tide Lord attached great importance to him. It could also be seen how many heroes there were in this temple. There was nothing more to say. Dafei brought all his adjutants and followed.
Now, Dafei's team was heading towards the main hall at the highest point of the island. Along the way, there were all kinds of corals, pearls, beast bones, armor, and unknown crystal mines. Dafei was dazzled by the sight! Dafei could totally imagine that once the goods here were brought back to the human Elven world to be sold, who knew how many times the price would be?
Now that the main hall was in front of them, the leading hero said in a deep voice, "Warriors, please!"
Dafei nodded. "Okay, okay."
At this moment, Dafei suddenly found a female Naga kneeling on the ground in front of the hall. The red name on her head was particularly eye-catching in this friendly city with yellow names. It was the Naga hero Suzanne whom he had just defeated!
Dafei was shocked. "Excuse me, this is?"
The Naga hero who was leading the way said coldly, "Although victory and defeat are common, her failure was not an ordinary one. She destroyed the regular army that had been passed down for many years. After the repentance ceremony, she will be disqualified from being a priest of the temple and then exiled."
Dafei's heart skipped a beat. This punishment was quite severe, right? Dafei hurriedly said, "I already said, this is a misunderstanding. Her temple guard army order is in my hands. If I return it to the temple now, can I keep this army?"
The Naga hero was suddenly overjoyed. "If Warriors have this intention, I will immediately pass it to the Lord!"
Pass it to you? Okay. So, Dafei took out the army order and handed it over.
— — System Notification: You have returned the "Dark Tide Temple Guard Army 4th Regiment Order" to the Temple of Dark Tide!
The hero happily took it and said in a gratified tone, "Warriors, it couldn't be better to return the army order. The Lord will definitely be happy."
Dafei laughed and said, "It's only right. I already said it was a misunderstanding." He then pointed at Suzanne. "What about her?"
The Naga hero coldly said, "Of course, her punishment will not be reduced. This has nothing to do with Warriors returning the army order."
At this moment, Suzanne, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned her head and looked at Dafei. Her eyes were bloodshot and her hatred was overflowing! Dafei's heart skipped a beat!
The hero angrily rebuked, "You are not focused in your repentance. Your punishment is to kneel for another three days!"
Suzanne trembled and had to kneel again.
Dafei's heart trembled. He suddenly felt uneasy. And this hero could casually punish a former High Priest leader. It could be seen that his status was quite high.
So, Dafei couldn't help but ask, "May I know your position?"
The hero calmly said, "The leader of the Dark Tide Lord's Royal Guards and the Temple's Head of Internal Affairs, Haylon!"
What the hell! This is definitely a Demigod's confidant, right? He's giving me too much face. Is he trying to see if I should drink a toast or a forfeit?
Now, under the leader's lead, Dafei's party entered a magnificent hall filled with jewels. In the middle of the hall was a wide circular fountain.
At this moment, familiar laughter came from the hall again. A pillar of light flashed in the fountain, and the figure of a 10-armed Naga rose again. "Warriors, I've been waiting for a long time. Warriors, welcome from afar to the Dark Tide Temple! "
Dafei laughed dryly and said, "Lord is too polite."
The Dark Tide Lord smiled and said, "In the legends of human sailors, as long as you meet a mermaid at sea, you will encounter good luck. If you meet the Sea Hermit, you will gain wisdom. And if you meet me, of course, you will also gain abilities. I want to give you a small gift, please accept it. But don't worry, there are no conditions attached to this gift, and it won't affect you in any way. On the contrary, it will help you improve by leaps and bounds. Do you accept it? "
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. Giving benefits at the first meeting? Is this his strategy to rope me in? However, if he compared himself to the Mermaid Hermit, then wouldn't it be a waste not to accept this gift?
However, Dafei was still worried and asked, "Can I ask what the gift is?"
The Dark Tide Lord stretched out a hand and smiled faintly. "Hand! I will give you an invisible arm. Because it is invisible, it won't affect your appearance. But for you, it will be an equipment slot for a ring and a weapon slot. If you have two invisible arms, you will have an equipment slot for a ring, a weapon slot, and an equipment slot for a glove. Of course, I can't give you two arms. I can only give you one. What do you think, Warrior? "
Arm? Additional equipment slot! At this moment, Dafei was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground!
Unbelievable! It was simply unbelievable. How could there be such a heaven-defying existence in the game that would destroy the game's balance? Was this the advantage of the Naga race having many arms?
Dafei said in shock, "In other words, if a Naga hero can hold six strategic weapons with six arms, then the hero's attributes will be six times that of a human?"
Haylon laughed and said, "Although I want to, it's a pity that strategic attributes can't be stacked. Repeated attributes will be the highest. This is the same logic as the Hero Legion. Therefore, the advantage of the Naga heroes is that they can use equipment with different attributes to complement each other. This is the unparalleled advantage of our race in dominating the Ocean Realm! "
Dafei nodded in shock. "Indeed unparalleled!" What the heck. Although strategic attributes couldn't be stacked, what if it was a divine weapon? Divine weapons didn't care about strategic attributes, but special skills!
Therefore, Dafei asked again, "Then what if it's a hero like Captain Haylon, who has six arms equipped with special skills?"
Haylon laughed loudly. "As expected of a Warrior. You have a good eye. My six arms are equipped with divine weapons given by the Lord!"
— Pfft! Dafei spat out a mouthful of blood! This was f * cking invincible! It turned out that the legendary Thousand-hand Guanyin who wielded a thousand magical instruments actually existed! If he hadn't met the unlucky priest at the entrance but this Captain of the Royal Guards, he would probably have been smashed to death by the divine weapon even if he was a god!
Now, Dafei finally realized the huge difference between a mere human and a Naga. This was the difference between a low-end food chain and a high-end food chain. And Dafei immediately understood the Dark Tide Lord's intention of giving the arms!
Although he said it was for free, after tasting the sweetness of the first arm, how could he not want a second? And to get a second arm, he either had to join the Dark Tide Organization or directly change his race to become an amphibious creature!
However, if he could really wield six divine weapons with six arms, his identity as a mere human, a mere city, a pool, and a chamber of commerce in the human world wouldn't be worth mentioning at all! Dafei finally understood why the Dark Tide Organization could recruit people!
At this moment, the Dark Tide Lord smiled. "Warrior, what do you think of this gift?"
He couldn't reject it. It was a waste not to accept it. Even though he knew it was a trap, he still had to jump into it! This was the same as when he jumped into a multi-level marketing trap! Humans were indeed stupid and greedy!
With tears streaming down his face, Dafei said, "Thank you, Lord, for your generous gift!"
The Dark Tide Lord smiled. "Courtesy demands reciprocation. The main thing is that you returned our Army Order, which more or less saved some face for the temple."
As expected, good people would be rewarded! Then I'll be a good person to the end. Dafei nodded excitedly. "Lord, this battle was actually a misunderstanding. The souls of the army are with me. I can also return them!"
