Chapter 295 - 68: Breakthrough; Arrival of the Frost Elf Queen (7,000 Words)
Returning to the Black Castle Dragon Pool, Udi had not yet cultivated for a few days before Fitz arrived to report that the envoy from the Naga Empire had come again.
To be precise, it was the envoy of the Naga Empire’s Third Princess.
"You mean they brought dozens of chests of gold and pearls as a greeting gift?" Udi smiled faintly.
Indeed, no matter how arrogant, one must return to reality and recognize oneself.
However, Udi did not become conceited because of this; he was still very clear about his true strength—slightly stronger than a conventional Legendary First Tier powerhouse, and if the opponent wasn’t a speed-type Legendary powerhouse with various escape methods, facing Udi’s full explosion likely meant certain death.
The Legendary Black Water Crab that Udi killed was the most real example.
But with such strength, compared to the Legendary First Tier Black Dragon, it was still somewhat lacking.
And the Naga Third Princess clearly did not take the Legendary First Tier Black Dragon too seriously...
So, pretending is fine, as others will fear you and won’t easily offend you, but don’t pretend yourself into a dead end and expose your true situation.
"Accept the gifts, and send the people away casually." Udi said with a smile.
Now, he was the one who should be holding a high posture.
He was the ’mighty’ Black Dragon King!
Fitz hesitated slightly but, after sensing the master’s casual and confident demeanor, he nodded.
His master had killed the Legendary Black Water Crab and enslaved the powerful Abyssal Demon Dragon. No matter how strong the Naga Empire was, they wouldn’t offend them over such a small matter.
With rising confidence, Fitz returned firmly to the coastal waters and conveyed the Black Dragon King’s reply to the Naga Envoy, Angela.
"The master has recently fallen asleep and cannot meet anyone; you might want to come back later."
This was Fitz’s answer.
The black-haired four-armed Naga and the purple-haired four-armed Naga, the two maids sitting beside the Third Princess, exchanged glances, the former somewhat irate, the latter lost in thought.
Yet, no matter how irate, Angela dared not make trouble here.
Although she was confident with Daya by her side, to cause trouble here and return to the Naga Empire sea domain afterward, it would undoubtedly offend the suspected Tier Five Black Dragon King.
Helplessly, the two four-armed Naga maids could only retreat politely.
In a corner of the ocean, amid the coral reefs.
Away from the Sha Hua Fishman sea domain, Angela and Daya frowned in thought.
"What should we do now? We’ve sent the gifts, yet couldn’t even meet the Black Dragon King... If we just go back like this, how do we explain to the Princess Third?" Angela worriedly said.
The purple-haired four-armed Naga glanced at the worried Angela and comforted her,
"The strength of the Black Dragon King is there for everyone to see, so it’s only normal he doesn’t wish to meet us; the Princess will understand."
"Daya, but....." Angela was still somewhat unwilling. Princess Third’s status was exceptional, as close confidantes to the Princess Third, they were always treated as distinguished guests, never having suffered such setbacks across numerous realms in the sea.
Many Legendary Dominators had to treat them kindly.
But Angela also understood that the Black Dragon King wasn’t the same level of existence as those Legendary Dominators... Still, while thinking about it, she couldn’t help feeling a bit unbalanced.
"Let’s go back and report the situation first." Daya glanced at the still somewhat disgruntled Angela and advised with helplessness.
"Alright, it’s the only thing we can do." Angela sighed.
Her initial task was to find the Legendary Black Water Crab in this remote sea area, but later, the surrounding Sea Race nations reported that the Black Water Crab’s sea domain was controlled and led by a group of Sha Hua Fishmen. Then, clues led spies all the way to the Black Dragon Lord in the Dark Forest, confirming that it was the Black Dragon Lord who killed the Legendary Black Water Crab, which led to the earlier attempt to meet the Black Dragon Lord.
The death of the Legendary Black Water Crab caused some waves in the surrounding areas, yet the deceased powerhouse held no value anymore, so the Naga Third Princess set her sights on the stronger Black Dragon Lord.
Since the Black Dragon Lord had involved himself in the sea domain, he could naturally be considered one of its forces.
Purple light expanded from Daya’s body, and in the next moment, the two disappeared from their original spot.
Naga Empire sea domain, the palace where the Third Princess resided.
A flash of purple light, the figures of Daya and Angela appeared.
Without hesitation, the two immediately went to see the Third Princess.
Upon hearing the report from the two, the Naga Third Princess furrowed her brows but did not become angry.
"Angela, Daya, you two take gifts to the Black Dragon Lord periodically afterward; remember, be polite."
"Your Highness....." Angela was a bit puzzled and couldn’t help but speak up.
The Third Princess glanced at her, her expression calm, "As the other party hasn’t explicitly refused, it indicates there’s still a chance. Besides, it’s merely some gold and pearls; if they can be used to foster relations, that’s great, and if not, there’s no real loss."
Throughout the deep sea, perhaps only the Naga Empire, the Sea People Empire, and the Mermaid Empire could speak with such confidence. These three forces were also the strongest three dominator races in the deep sea.
Although gold was merely a common trading currency, refined from gold, refined gold was a top-tier material, and when amassed to a certain extent, even for a Legendary Mage, it held notable value.
Additionally, the pearls sent were not ordinary pearls, but Magic Pearls nurtured by demon giant clams, which could serve as casting materials, ingredients for creating magic equipment, and if appetites were good enough, they could be directly consumed and digested to enhance one’s strength.
