From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

As the Naga tribe's last gamble failed, the morale of the entire coalition army visibly declined.

The two dragon knights from the Sea Serpent and Seahorse tribes expressed deep doubts and concerns about the future of the coalition army.

They also questioned the overall strength of the Naga tribe in public, claiming that the Naga did not have the strength to rule the central waters of the Azure Sea.

Although the matter was finally resolved peacefully by Vashj, the words of the two dragon knights left a seed of doubt in the hearts of the coalition members.

As long as the Kuer tribe launched a general attack, the coalition army might be automatically disintegrated, without anyone having to do it themselves.

"Your Excellency the High Priest, there is news from the Amethyst Islands that the trade route was indeed plundered, but after confirmation, His Excellency Krober found that it was indeed a wild dragon attack at this time, and it had nothing to do with the Kuer tribe, so our plan failed..."

This news was like the last straw that broke Vashj's back.

Frustration and despair.

These are the only two emotions left for Vashj.

Originally, she still placed her hopes on Lord Ocean Flow Dragon, hoping that he could lead the Naga tribe out of the predicament.

But the tribe members were not up to the task, and she also made a big mistake.

The only remaining hope - human assistance also turned into a bubble.

Is it really as the people below said, that the Naga tribe is really going to be destroyed?

Vashj felt unprecedented loneliness and helplessness, and she didn't know how to face the situation in front of her.

She once thought that she could overcome all difficulties with wisdom and courage, but reality gave her a heavy blow.

She began to doubt for the second time whether she really had the ability to lead the Naga tribe to prosperity.

"Is it really God's will to destroy my Naga tribe?"

Vashj fell into deep thought.

She knew that if she couldn't find a solution to the problem as soon as possible, the Naga tribe would face a catastrophe.

But where should she find hope?

Suddenly!

Vashj suddenly thought of an important person she had overlooked.

"Go quickly! Invite Knight Osius over and tell him I have an important mission for him."

Osius. Nightmare Moon, a fantasy beast knight, is proficient in concealment and assassination. He may not be very powerful on the front battlefield, but he is an expert in carrying out some special tasks.

Instructing the maid to call Osius over, Vashj walked deeper into the sanctuary and took the key to the Naga treasure house with her.

"Whether it works or not really depends on this time."

Vashj put the key on her chest and prayed silently.

————

"Your Excellency the High Priest, are you looking for me?"

Osius walked into the sanctuary and bowed respectfully to his nominal leader.

Vashj nodded slightly and motioned Osius to stand up.

Her face still maintained that tranquility and calmness, making it difficult to figure out her true thoughts.

"Osius, I called you here this time because there is an important and difficult task for you to complete. Come with me."

As she said, Vashj turned and walked towards the treasure house.

Osius did not dare to neglect and hurriedly followed Vashj's pace.

The two came to the door of the treasury together. Vashj took out a key shining with mysterious light and gently inserted it into the keyhole.

With a slight sound, the magic barrier outside the treasury was successfully lifted.

Then, Vashj reached into her arms and took out two scarlet gems emitting strange energy fluctuations.

These two stones were obviously not ordinary items. They flashed a faint light, which showed that they contained quite pure magic power.

Vashj carefully placed the two stones on the serpentine sculpture at the entrance of the treasury, one on the left and one on the right, just stuck in the eyes of the serpentine statue.

As the gems were placed, the door at the entrance of the treasury slowly opened, making a heavy sound, as if announcing its heaviness and sense of history.

It was pitch black inside the door, but a mysterious atmosphere came to the face, which made people feel awe.

When Osius gradually adapted to the darkness, a vast space appeared before his eyes.

This space is much larger than imagined, and there is no end in sight.

There are many large and small holes on the wall next to it. I think it should be the place where gems were inlaid before.

However, with the decline of the Naga tribe, Vashj dug out all the gems in it to exchange for food, leaving only these holes of different sizes to tell the glorious history of the Naga tribe in the past.

There are many boxes made of sea stone in the treasury, but many of them look very old and obviously have not been opened for a long time.

"Most of the boxes here are empty, and only a few boxes are still filled with some messy things."

As if sensing Osius's curious thoughts, Vashj explained deliberately.

After that, she took Osius to a storage box, raised her hands, and opened the box.

There are three boxes made of sea crystal in this storage box, one large and two small.

Vashj took out the box, handed it to Osius, and said:

"This is the reward I promised Krobo, a red algae elf, a water lily elf, and a black algae elf."

The big elf's box was very large, about 1.6 meters long.

After Osius took the box, he felt it was a bit heavy. He asked curiously:

"Why did you give these elves to me?"

Vashj replied:

"At present, the Kuer tribe has surrounded the tribe, and even the exit of the secret passage has been ambushed by soldiers. In order to prevent the morale of the coalition forces from being affected at this time, not many people know about this matter yet.

At present, you are the only one in the entire coalition who can rely on your special dark attribute fighting spirit to leave here.

So I will hand these three elves to you, and you will hand them over to him in person."

Osius nodded, showing his understanding.

He glanced at Vashj, and then carefully hid the three boxes with fighting spirit.

He knew that this mission was very important, not only related to the agreement between Vashj and Krober, but also might affect the situation of the entire Amethyst Islands.

After explaining, Vashj turned and walked towards the door.

When she was halfway there, she suddenly stopped and turned to Osius and said:

"By the way, don't come back after you deliver the things. Your race is human. I believe the Amethyst Islands will not make things too difficult for you. With your strength as a fantasy beast knight, you can get by anywhere."

Osius was stunned. He didn't expect Vashj to say this.

This feeling was like leaving a last will.

He recalled that when he was young and drifting on the sea due to a shipwreck, it was Vashj who appeared and saved him.

Not only did she not kill him because he was a human, but she also protected him as the high priest of the Naga tribe, buying precious development time for Osius.

Osius touched the two small boxes on his chest and the big box on his back, and made up his mind.

Although he was not a good person, he would never do such an ungrateful thing. He must definitely deliver these three elves to Krobo intact.
