Cericis and the others wriggled their tails as they glided back to their residence. The people of Nanira seemed to be used to seeing Nagas, so not many people paid attention to them.
After returning to their residence and casting spells to replenish the humidity in the surroundings, Cericis and the others finally relaxed.
Then, Cericis' guard could not help but say, "Your Highness, we have been delayed here for too long. We can't continue like this."
"I know."
"If we don't get reinforcements and break the original trade relationship, it won't do us any good. We need their food and weapons!"
"Shut your mouth, Polisaya. I don't need you to remind me. I know."
Cericis frowned and said coldly, "But he knows even better. Don't you understand one thing from your interactions with them? He — "
"Bang! Bang!" A loud noise came from next door.
Cericis frowned and ignored the noise. She continued, "He is waiting for an opportunity to sell the reinforcements at the highest price."
"Our kingdom is at war. War requires the consumption of large amounts of manpower and resources. When our output is insufficient, we will inevitably increase our imports. This will greatly stimulate the export trade of the Ronitte Kingdom. To them, our war is a good thing. They can't wait for our war to last longer. Only then will they have the opportunity to reap the greatest benefits."
"If I'm not wrong, Oscar must be waiting for us to be unable to hold on any longer and fully rely on the Ronitan Kingdom."
Cericis sneered, "He wants to annex us Nagas."
"In that case, Your Highness," Polisaya could not help but say, "Why don't we trade with other human kingdoms? Our goods are very popular in the human kingdoms. We can increase our trade partners and reduce our dependence on the Ronitan Kingdom. "
Cericis looked at her guard in shock, "Polisaya, I'm surprised that you can think of this. It seems that your brain is not only made of muscles."
Polisaya was so excited that he straightened his body. His face was full of pride. The princess had praised him. If he could make her realize that he was not only the strongest warrior among the Grayfin Nagas, but also a smart Grayfin Naga, he might have a chance to win the princess's heart.
The combination of the strong Grayfin Naga and the intelligent Bright-Scaled Naga would definitely give birth to a very powerful descendant!
"But your thinking is too simple."
"Peng peng peng!" Another noise came from next door, and he could vaguely hear someone shouting, "Brat, you better be careful."
Damn it! Couldn't they be quieter?!
Cericis was filled with frustration. She changed the topic and said, "Do you know how many years we spent before and after we started trading with Ronitante? During that period of time, we were wary of each other and probed each other. In the end, we went from probing each other on a small scale to the current fixed trade route. "
"Humans are very cunning. They know that their power in the sea cannot compare to ours, and they want the resources at the bottom of the sea. That's why they cooperated with us. If they could go into the sea, I'm afraid they would have already raised their butcher's knife."
"Therefore, trading with humans is very dangerous. Once they find an opportunity, they will —"
"Weng —" Another deafening sound came from next door.
"Bang! So noisy! "
Cericis slammed the table and stood up, cursing angrily, "You've gone too far! How could he continue living like this?! Polisaya, go make them quiet! "
"As you command, my lady."
Polisaya left with a few of his lackeys.
Cericis pinched her forehead with a slight headache. The dry climate on land made her feel rather irritable. Coupled with the occasional noise coming from next door, it made her even more irritable.
These damn humans, don't they know how to take care of other people's feelings?!
And that Oscar, he wants to swallow a Naga? Hmph, if his appetite is too big, he will be stuffed to death!
The surroundings suddenly became dry again. Cericis saw that the scales on her tail were a little dry and had lost their light. Only then did she feel a little better.
Next door.
"Damn it! Can you not be so clumsy?! This box is the latest magical kettle designed by Lady Elili. If it breaks, ten years of your salary won't be enough to cover it! "
An old employee was scolding a newcomer. The newcomer had just slipped, and a box of magical kettles fell to the ground, nearly scaring him to tears.
Elsa, who was helping to renovate the house with a hammer, happened to pass by. "What happened?"
The old employee explained the matter, and Elsa waved her hand and said, "Aiya, forgive him. It's not his fault that the ground is too slippery. Speaking of which, the humidity around here is too heavy. I'll go and find the lord to solve this problem."
After Elsa said that, she ran to Tang En.
"Too wet? It can't be, right? "
Tang En, who was preparing for tomorrow's meeting, was stunned when he heard that. "Although there is a lot of vegetation here, this is a canyon. The airflow is very frequent, so it can't be wet."
"But it's very wet. Why would I lie to Big Brother King?"
Elsa said angrily, "If you don't believe me, go and take a look. The stones on the ground over there have condensed water droplets."
Tang En and Fiona looked at each other and followed Elsa.
If the warehouse was really wet, perhaps they would have to change their original plan.
Although the magical furniture and machinery were all made of universal alloy, Tang En did not do any corrosion resistance tests. The time was too short, and he did not know the resistance of the universal alloy to rust. If it was too wet and rust appeared, it would be a big loss.
As soon as they got close to the warehouse, a wave of moisture hit them in the face. Tang En frowned before he could take a closer look.
It was true.
The bluestone used to pave the ground had condensed water droplets, and the warehouse was surrounded by fog. It was obvious how high the humidity was. The most speechless thing was that the vapor only covered the warehouse and did not affect the other places at all.
Tang En dispersed the vapor around the warehouse. Just as he was about to let them continue their work, a wave of magic suddenly came from next door. Then, Tang En found that the vapor had appeared again.
What the f * ck? Someone did it on purpose!?
Tang En and Fiona looked at each other. Could it be a rogue mage?
The two of them were hesitating whether to go and see the person next door. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Is anyone there!? Open the door! "
Elsa ran over and opened the door. "Who is it? — — Eh eh eh!? What a big snake!!! "
Suddenly seeing the Naga, Elsa's eyes widened. She gasped and exclaimed.
"What are you shouting for! Have you never seen a Naga!? Ignorant human! "
Polisaya looked down at Elsa with disdain. He could fight a hundred, no, a thousand humans like her who did not even reach his waist!
After dispersing the vapor again, Tang En, Fiona, and the others instantly came to Elsa's side. Then, Tang En was stunned.
What the f * ck!? What's the situation recently?
Not only did the Nubilao Fishmen run inland, but even the Naga came out to wander around?
Although Nanilla was not far from the coastline, it was still more than a hundred kilometers away. Why would the Naga come here for no reason?
"Hey, ignorant human, what are you doing? Where's Evan? Ask him to come out and see me! "
Evan was the original owner of this big courtyard. After completing the transaction in the morning, he had already left.
"Evan has already sold this courtyard to me. I'm the owner here. What do you want?"
Tang En curiously sized up the Naga at the door. This was a male Gray Fin Naga warrior. From the looks of it, even among the Gray Fin Naga warriors, he was considered very strong. His height was more than three meters. He was definitely tall among the Gray Fin Nagas. He could be called a giant.
"You're the owner? Alright then. Why are you all so noisy? Can't you let me rest? Let me tell you, be quiet! The one living next door is the great Bright Scale Naga Princess, Her Highness Cericis. If you disturb Her Highness' rest, I'll let you know how terrifying the Naga's anger is! "
Polisaya stared at Tang En. Originally, he wanted to teach him a lesson without saying anything. However, after seeing him, he did not know why, but he suddenly suppressed his anger in his chest. He could not help but lower his tone, but his words did not change. Hence, the fist he waved became weak and powerless. It looked as comical as a bluff.
Damn it, what's going on? Why do I have a good impression of him when I look at him?
Oh my Goddess, am I sick?
Polisaya felt baffled. Looking at this guy was like seeing a long-lost friend — but what the hell was that they were meeting for the first time!
"I see. I understand. I'll ask them to be quieter."
Tang En nodded. He was also disturbed by the noise from the renovation in the past. This was indeed his fault.
At this moment, he also understood what was going on with the water vapor. Although the Nagas could live on land, they still preferred a humid environment. Perhaps they were casting spells to keep their skin and scales moist, and it just happened to affect the warehouse.
No wonder when Evan heard that he wanted to buy a house, he couldn't wait to make a deal with him.
Oh, he was in the fur business. Everyone knew that fur was afraid of moisture …
Seeing that Tang En was so honest, Polisaya had a better impression of him. However, this made him even more baffled. He did not have a good impression of humans.
What the hell? It was just a few words. Why did he feel that this kid was someone he could make friends with?
The human's negotiation skills were actually so terrifying?
"But can you control the range when you're casting spells to increase the humidity in the air?"
Tang En said tactfully, "Your spells covered my warehouse. Those goods can't be damp."
To hell with your damned goods! How can they be compared to His Highness' feelings!?
Polisaya wanted to say this, but when the words reached his mouth, they became another sentence. "Okay, I'll report to His Highness."
Not only were Elsa and Fiona dumbfounded, but even Polisaya's underlings were dumbfounded.
