Chapter 461 Chapter461-The Wrath of the Naga Queen
John had just finished his conversation with the Mystery Protector and Duke Arsena.
He rushed back to Blue Sea and Adam as quickly as he could.
It was evident from John's facial expression that he was extremely troubled.
Blue Sea immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong? Has Storm City encountered a huge danger again? Does Duke Arsena need your significant assistance once more?"
John shook his head.
"It's not for that reason! We must head to the Naga Faction as quickly as possible. The Legend Magus of the Northern Myst Empire, Mystery Protector, has already arrived in Storm City. His purpose here is exactly the same as ours. He, too, wants to go to the Naga Faction to investigate the situation there."
After hearing John's explanation, Blue Sea and Adam still felt somewhat puzzled.
In their view, the actions of Mystery Protector didn't seem to have much impact on them.
If Mystery Protector could indeed discover any unusual activities in the Naga Faction and ensure that they wouldn't collaborate with the Mystery Faction, wouldn't that be acceptable to them as well?
"Why do you look so worried?"
Adam asked directly, voicing his doubts.
"Isn't Mystery Protector's approach similar to ours? If he succeeds, wouldn't that also be beneficial for us?"
Adam's question hinted at his suspicion that John was withholding important information.
The situation seemed more complex than John had described.
John hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking to the two, "Mystery Protector doesn't trust us.
He believes that all adventurers could potentially side with the Dark Faction.
If he gets to the Naga Faction first and gathers enough information, he definitely won't share all of it with us.
I even suspect he might deliberately conceal the information and mislead us in our next steps.
I've obtained a crucial piece of information from other players: All the Legend Magi of the Northern Myst Empire look down on us adventurers.
Although Mystery Protector was polite in his conversation with me, I could still sense the disdain in his words."
John's words made Adam and Blue Sea a bit anxious.
They had encountered similar situations before.
When they were establishing their respective guilds, they had faced difficulties from NPCs of the Northern Myst Empire.
These NPCs indeed didn't trust the players at all and would seize any opportunity to target them.
"In that case, let's move quickly! I've prepared the Nautilus shell, and with the help of the Tethys whale, we can head directly to the Naga Faction."
Blue Sea immediately took out the prepared Nautilus shell. John and Adam, without any hesitation, took the shell from him.
The trio used the teleportation array to swiftly reach Weeping Shore.
At the shore, they once again felt a strong presence of Mystery power.
John checked the surroundings and, after confirming that this was just the residual influence from their previous battle with the Mystery Prophet, slowly spoke to the others.
"It seems the power of the Mystery Faction is growing stronger. The resurrection progress of the Mystery Saint must also be nearing completion. The Mystery Saint can even influence the Mystery forces here at Weeping Shore."
Adam and Blue Sea didn't say much in response, as they could see that the situation was indeed very grave.
"We must quickly uncover the secrets within the Naga Faction. Only then can we fully prepare for the upcoming battle with the Mystery Faction," John concluded.
He then blew into the Nautilus shell, followed by the other two.
In the depths of the ocean, three Tethys whales swiftly appeared.
Guided by the whales, John and his companions quickly reached the entrance to the Naga Faction.
However, they couldn't proceed directly into the Naga Faction because the entrance was sealed off by powerful ocean spells.
"Has the Naga Faction encountered some danger? Why would they seal off the entrance to their tribe?" Adam asked, raising two questions.
John and Blue Sea were also very curious about the answers to these questions, but they didn't have much time to find them.
"Regardless, we must enter the Naga Faction as soon as possible! Blue Sea, do you have a way to break the seal at the entrance? If not, let me try to destroy it," said John, speaking very quickly.
Both Blue Sea and Adam could hear the urgency in his voice, yet John managed to remain calm under pressure.
John was well aware that forcibly breaking the seal would undoubtedly make the Naga Faction extremely hostile towards him.
Therefore, he hoped Blue Sea could find a method to unlock the seal.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Blue Sea carefully examined the seal at the entrance of the Naga Faction.
After a thorough observation, he spoke with a hint of apology, "I can't break this seal! It looks like you'll have to use your own powerful force to destroy it! We might soon face the wrath of the Naga Faction!"
Upon hearing this, John immediately acted, gathering his formidable power and then striking the archway at the entrance of the Naga Faction with great force.
The seal quickly collapsed under John's assault, and the trio swiftly passed through the archway into the Naga Faction.
As soon as they entered, they were surrounded by a large number of Naga Faction guards, who were highly vigilant of the newcomers.
At the heart of the Naga Faction, in the palace of the Naga Queen, news of the intrusion had already reached her. She was extremely enraged.
"You once promised me that the seal at the tribe's entrance would not be easily breached! How could three humans break through the seal and enter our tribe without us noticing?!"
The Naga Faction's Chief Magus and one of the Legend Magi, Shatras, appeared extremely tense. She had not expected the seal she had set up to be so easily broken.
As the most powerful magus of the Naga Faction, Shatras felt it was her duty to promptly rectify this mistake.
She spoke directly to the queen, "Your Majesty, I will head to the entrance immediately! I will find out how these humans broke through my seal. Once I understand their method, I will improve the seal. Once it's enhanced, such an incident won't happen again. Please do not worry too much about this!"
Shatras's words temporarily eased the Naga Queen's anger.
However, the Queen felt it necessary to make her expectations clear. "You had better complete this quest, or I will not let you off easily. You should be very aware that your status as a Legend Magus is due to the support of the Naga Faction. Without our resources and magical weapons, you wouldn't be worthy of being a Legend Magus. The Naga Faction is facing a tremendous crisis. As the Chief Magus, if you cannot ensure the safety of our tribe, how can you have the audacity to continue as Chief Magus?"
The Queen's pointed questions left Shatras without any reply.
All she could do was nod solemnly and then quickly make her way to the entrance of the Naga Faction.
As Shatras arrived at the entrance of the Naga Faction, she immediately encountered John and his companions, who were confronting the Naga guards.
She knew instantly that these were the ones who had breached the seal of the Naga Faction.
"How did you break the seal at our tribe's entrance?! What is your purpose in coming here?! Do you not realize that attacking the seal of the Naga Faction's entrance is an act of aggression against us?"
Shatras stepped to the forefront of the Naga guards and bombarded John and his group with a series of questions.
Her approach was clearly intended to exert significant pressure on John and his companions.
