Chapter 1092: Chapter 263: A New Introduction
In fact, besides the Flash Scale Naga, there are six other clans active on the surface of the Sea of Shining, including the Grey Fin, Jialuo, and Sea Snake Naga. Among them, Brand understands the Grey Fin Naga the most deeply — the differences between Naga clans in the deep sea are actually quite different from the differences between countries on land. It’s more like the division between ethnic groups; different Nagas come from different species. Grey Fin Naga are descendants of the mythical Sky Snake Maranas. In Kruz myths, the Dragon of Calamity, Azure gave birth to offspring with mortals, resulting in human-bodied serpent-shaped creatures with twelve wings living together. This creature is the Feathered Snake in the myth, embodying both good and evil, symbolizing the ultimate order. Even today, the shape of this creature is still carved under the eaves of various countries’ courts and arbitration courts. The Feathered Snake has twelve offspring, and Sky Snake Maranas is one of them. Legend has it that the Sky Snake Maranas is completely gray and protects the entire North Sea — which is now the Outer Sea of Fanzan. Therefore, Sky Snake Maranas has always been regarded as the guardian god of the Ten Cities Region today.
The Grey Fin Naga, as descendants of Maranas, inherited its gray-white fins. Of course, whether the tales from the dusty ancient tomes are true or false is now indisputable. But Brand knows these human-bodied serpent-shaped creatures because of his experiences in Amber Sword. He stood at the edge of the ship’s side, watching the men and women below and several Nagas without answering, as he knew these people were not the real leaders of these Nagas. He was waiting for the main character to appear.
Others, including Captain James, stood silently aside without speaking, having been privately signaled by Brand. Sailors were also curious about what this young lord wanted to do. Given the power shown by Gray Sword Saint Mephisto, he indeed had the ability to do so. At this moment, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Brand.
The Nagas in the sea saw the humans on the ship not responding and started to get restless. But after a while, the sea parted, and two Nagas, a man and a woman, emerged from below.
The male Naga was tall and mighty; its eyes were different from the silver-purple eyes of other Nagas, appearing amber-colored and semi-transparent. He wore deep blue fish scale armor, and his weapon was a strangely-shaped long blade, somewhat like a curved blade, but a regular curved blade certainly wasn’t this large. The war pattern on this male Naga’s face was much more detailed than others, full of a strange, wild beauty.
As soon as Brand saw this Naga, he recognized its identity. This Naga was a roaming boss on the sea, previously known by players as ’Yellow Eye.’ However, Brand knew this guy’s real name. ’Sani’er,’ which means ’greater’ in Naga language, and it’s said he was born much larger than usual Nagas, thus given such a name.
This story is an absolute joke among humans, but among the Naga clan and their culture, it’s considered a matter worth boasting about. A larger physique means stronger strength. Sani’er was born a warrior and, after coming of age, became the Commander of the Grey Fin Naga clan, seen as a boss in players’ eyes, naturally fell into place.
"Humans, where do you come from?" Sani’er raised his head to glance at this three-masted ship, a hint of doubt flickering in his amber eyes. But he was much steadier, refraining from making an early judgment.
Just as Captain James was about to speak, Brand intervened beside him and said, "Sani’er, across the Seven Seas all is the free land under Martha’s will. You Nagas receive favor from Lady Goddess, yet show no remorse and relentlessly loot passing ships, harming lives — are you not afraid of punishment?"
His words startled everyone; though backed by a Sword Saint, there was no need to offend the other party like this. The Sea Demon Whale is also a mythical sea monster. Brand’s words were purely taunting, even Mephisto turned his head to look at him puzzled, "Little guy, what mischief are you up to again?" In contrast, Otarais, in Brand’s ring, knew him better and understood he wouldn’t act recklessly, asking immediately.
"Watch me," Brand replied secretly.
Sani’er’s expression changed subtly; he certainly noticed the taunting tone in the other’s speech. But what made him more uncertain was the other party calling his name directly. The Gray Fin clan recently experienced some changes, and he had only recently taken over the position of the deceased former Commander, becoming the new Commander of the Gray Fin Naga army. Saying he’d have any fame across the Seven Seas was absolutely impossible.
