A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Gravestone

Translator: Lonelytree

Nagas were a strange and evil humanoid creature that lived in the deep sea for a long time. They had the ability to walk on the waves and had a strong concept of territory. They would often mercilessly expel or destroy human ships that passed by.

Matthew had heard about this race when he was chatting with Master Ronan. It was said that the appearance of the Naga race was related to a ” Twilight Creature ” who was sealed by the supreme-rulers in the early days of the Age of Enlightenment.

The Twilight Creature hated the supreme-rulers, so he wanted to steal humanity from the supreme-rulers.

He lured some humans into the sea and taught them evil cannibalism rituals.

During the cannibalistic ritual, humans who believed in the twilight creature mixed themselves with a large number of snakes. The power of the ritual made the flesh of humans and snakes indistinguishable. In the pain, excitement, and unclear ravings, the first Nagas were born.

They were known as the Original Nagas.

The Original Nagas were highly praised by the Twilight Creature and inherited the most evil power from the latter.

Every Original Naga had the power of a Lord.

Then, under the orders of the Twilight Creature, they went to different seas and established huge naga tribes at the bottom of the sea.

However, the Nagas that were born later did not have the chance to receive the blessings of the Twilight Creature. Although they also had strength and qualities far beyond humans, they were far inferior to the original Nagas. The Naga that was born later was called the ” Derivative Naga.”

The Nagas that were now dominating the many seas of Aindor were mostly Derivative Naga.

As the original intention of the Twilight Creature was to transform more humans into Nagas, the Nagas often left the underwater tribes to plunder the population.

Because the Nagas were matriarchal, over time, there was a saying that the Nagas liked to snatch men.

Of course, this was not a rumour.

Due to the influence of the Twilight Creature, the proportion of females in the Naga race was extremely high.

After losing the inheritance of the cannibalistic ritual, the Naga tribe had to ensure that a fixed number of foreign males integrated into it every year, or the tribe would be at risk of extinction.

Other than that.

Nagas were generally strong and good at using weapons. They also had several natural spellcasting abilities.

On the sea, if one encountered a group of Nagas, fleeing was the best choice.

At this moment, in front of Matthew, the number of Nagas surrounding Xuan Kunzi had already exceeded 30!

They had seaweed-like green hair that reached their waists. Regardless of gender, the upper body of the Nagas was always naked, except for the waist, where the human part joined with the snake tail had a large string of colourful shells.

Below the shell was the snake-like lower body of the Naga, but at this moment, it was blocked by the white waves below, making it difficult to see clearly.

“I’m a traveller from the Gold Coast, and I want to visit equal stream island.”

Matthew said kindly, “They’re just sending me there.”

The Naga leader narrowed his slender eyes and said, “This is the territory of the Naga Kingdom. Outsider, your appearance here means that you have offended the Naga Queen. I’m afraid that the Endless Sea Prison is your only destination!”

At this moment, a female Naga behind him reminded him, “The Endless Sea

Prison is full. There are only a few empty seats next to ‘Big Mouth August’.”

“Isn’t that even more interesting? Bring them to see August!”

The male Naga revealed a cruel smile.

Matthew noticed that Little Stone’s face turned pale when he heard the name August. He asked a few questions in a low voice and found out that August was a sea beast that had once caused trouble in the Arunay Sea. He was Imown for his greed and gluttony.

It was once the nightmare of the nearby people, but it had been subdued by the

Nagas.

“Throw your weapons over!” The Naga leader ordered.

“There’s no need for that. We can talk.”

Matthew’s face was full of smiles. “I’m a traveller from afar. I’ve collected many unique small items along the way. Don’t you want to hear about the interesting stories of my journey? I’m willing to share it with you.”

The Naga leader sneered and wanted to say something. Suddenly, he turned his eyes and said to Matthew, “Then come here. Let’s go over there and talk. I hope your story will be interesting.”

The two of them came to Xuan Kunzi’s tail, and the other Nagas tactfully dispersed.

Matthew fumbled around in his luggage and immediately handed over a medium-sized bag with a smile.

There were a few mirrors and some berries in his pocket.

Apart from that, there were also gold coins.

‘ You’re very tactful, young mage.” The Naga leader snatched the bag from Matthew’s hand and said with satisfaction, “I can let you leave, but you must remember that the great Naga Queen is about to unify the Arunay Sea. Our Naga Kingdom is taking shape, and this is unstoppable! If you want to travel on the sea, a few interesting stories might not be enough. You had to go to see the Queen, bow to her, and beg her for special permission. Only then could you travel on this sea without any problem.”

Matthew pretended to be grateful.

“Thank you, thank you very much. If I have the chance, I will definitely visit the Queen personally.”

The leader was even more satisfied. He could not help but say a few more words, “A traveller like you must control your curiosity and not wander around.

“It was inevitable that there would be bloodshed in the process of unifying the Naga Kingdom, but it did not mean that you’d be safe once you leave the sea..”
