Chapter 1094: Act 263: Getting to Know Each Other Again_3
Moreover, it was a coincidence that the merchant was a Southern Hawk person from Saint Ausor, very close to Karasu, only separated by a strait, and there were also Highland Wizard ruins there. Brand falsely claimed to be a descendant of or related to the party, which was entirely plausible.
"My father passed away three years ago," replied Sani’er: "However, what Your Excellency said, I dare not forget. You are...?"
"I am not the descendant of that merchant, just related to him, and I’ve heard him talk about this matter. I am a descendant of the Highland Wizard, you know people like us tend to get to the bottom of things, so I specifically investigated whether this matter was true or false. Thus, I learned about your father and some of your circumstances, if there was any offense, I ask for forgiveness."
Brand smiled and answered this way, not intending to threaten and demand repayment, as in the past game he had a deep friendship with Sani’er, and couldn’t bring himself to do such a thing. In fact, he brought up this matter just to find an excuse to draw closer to the other party. Brand believed he could win the other’s goodwill, just like in the past game.
Because in a certain sense, they, and those who fought for Erune’s destiny in the senior sister’s team in the past, were actually similar people.
Sani’er remained silent for a while.
Finally, he nodded, raised his head, and said: "I see, so the previous attack was our offense, luckily it didn’t cause any serious consequences. Since you are friends of the old acquaintance, I guarantee that your ships can freely pass through this sea without any attacks, the Grey Fin Naga will never break their word!"
The words were incredibly awkward, and Brand couldn’t help but chuckle internally. This guy was still as clumsy as before, knowing that Sani’er would not do anything detrimental to the Grey Fin Naga due to personal friendship. If he were truly an old acquaintance’s descendant, Sani’er would definitely report to the queen first—thinking about it, now the Grey Fin Naga should still be under the rule of Queen Hanlu. Brand remembered that the ’Bright Pearl’ of the Grey Fin Naga passed away three years later, after which Sani’er gradually rose and became the king of the Grey Fin clan, but now, it should still be the most powerful and beautiful queen in Grey Fin history reigning.
Although Brand knew Sani’er could certainly persuade the queen, he definitely wouldn’t skip this step, as this guy was just such a rigid person. What he said now was actually nothing more than respect won by Brand’s displayed strength—the Naga were unwilling to engage with a ’warship’ with Sword Saint onboard, so for the sake of face, they found an excuse.
Brand had seen such excuses many times, but to say it as stiffly as Sani’er, there was only one in the entire Sea of Shining.
Thinking of this, he smiled and asked: "Thank you very much, but I have a question."
Everyone was taken aback.
Initially, hearing the Naga allows passage, Captain James and all the sailors breathed a sigh of relief. After all, anyone wouldn’t feel comfortable having a prehistoric beast cruising nearby, hearing the chance to escape a disaster was naturally like encountering a great pardon. But unexpectedly Brand not only didn’t leave, he actually actively engaged in conversation.
What problem is there to discuss with robbers? Wouldn’t it be better to leave quickly?
All couldn’t help but have such a thought rising in their hearts at this moment.
