“Where did things go wrong?”

Looking at the blue dragon girl who was nodding and bowing, Saga felt a little strange.

“What is she thinking? This attitude is a bit abnormal.”

At this thought, Saga’s mind subconsciously focused, wanting to know what was on Gritia’s mind at the moment.

The spirit moved at will.

Because he had cast the Golden Glory Ring Body Shield, his mental state had been restored to its peak, and his spirit was also full. When Saga had an idea, the invisible spirit gathered together instinctively, reaching out like tentacles to touch Gritia’s head.

“Legendary ancient dragon. Mischievous. Fishing law enforcement little hatchling dragon.”

Fragmented and belonging to Gritia, the whisper sounded in Saga’s mind.

He was slightly surprised, and his mind was stirred, and the voices immediately disappeared.

“The voice just now was?”

Saga came to his senses, then actively concentrated his mind and gathered his spirit.

“Follow the ancient dragon. Safe strange ancient dragon.”

Gritia was not speaking at the moment, but Saga heard her own, somewhat vague and intermittent whispers.

So that’s how it is.

After some thought, Saga gradually understood, realizing his own situation and the thoughts that led to Gritia’s change in attitude.

“She sees me as a legendary ancient dragon with a mischievous nature, deliberately disguised as a little hatchling dragon, so she does not have a psychological aversion to following me and serving me. Her ability to imagine is quite good, and it’s to my advantage anyway.”

“As for hearing these voices, hehe, I really am a genius.”

The little hatchling dragon raised its chin and its tail tip swayed quietly.

Because the spiritual power of dragons was already strong, Saga’s awakened spiritual power intensity had directly reached the level of a fourth-ring ability.

Under the influence of this spiritual power intensity, he naturally awakened a first-ring psychic prophecy ability:

Whispering Ears.

It consumed weak spiritual power, allowing him to read the mental voices of the surrounding creatures.

This kind of first-ring psychic ability was recorded in the dragon’s inheritance and could be learned later.

But before Saga had a chance to study and research it specifically, this subconscious ability awakened in response to his thoughts.

“This is just a first-ring psychic ability, so it’s normal for the perception to be unclear. However, among the higher-level psychic abilities of the same category, there is a true mind-reading ability that can clearly understand the thoughts of the enemy.”

“It’s just that this spiritual power form is a bit strange, why does it look so much like tentacles?”

Saga turned his head and looked at the demon warlock who was grabbing his skull.

With a thought, Saga listened to the warlock’s inner thoughts.

The invisible spiritual tentacles touched the warlock’s forehead.

“Follow. Benefits hehehe.”

The demon warlock, who had been oppressing the blue dragon, was startled in his heart, feeling as if his thoughts had been seen through in that instant, and he subconsciously resisted mentally.

The faint whispers stopped abruptly.

Saga frowned and looked at the demon warlock.

The soul flame in the opponent’s skull flickered, then released its mental resistance, and the whispers came again.

“Praise. Beautiful, powerful, loyal.”

Amidst the continuous howling of the storm, such mental whispers came.

Saga:

Sure enough, this guy was an experienced old hand, not like the inexperienced teenage blue dragon. A first-ring psychic ability wouldn’t work on it without it noticing. But Saga didn’t mind. He had more powerful psychic abilities waiting for the demon warlock, and in its state, it couldn’t resist Saga’s mental will. The methods of the mind warlock focused on the spirit, mind, and soul, and were already very effective against targets with a damaged soul. Saga was confident that the demon warlock would submit obediently.

Before he had mastered the Mind Slave Seal, Saga would not give the demon warlock a chance to recover.

At the same time, the demon warlock, after subconsciously boasting to Saga, felt a little regretful.

“I was foolish, I shouldn’t have been so deliberate.”

“My true thoughts just now were that following it should be a good choice. If my thoughts were heard and understood by the psychic ability, it could have some influence on its evaluation of me.”

“Ah, this damned undead’s head has already affected my thinking. Without a suitable body, the soul cannot survive. When can I have a fresh body again?”

The demon warlock felt regretful in his heart.

Glancing at the demon warlock, Saga turned his gaze back and said to the blue dragon girl:

“I don’t care what you’re thinking, but since you’ve promised to serve me, fulfill your duties properly and obey my commands.””Otherwise, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”

Saga grinned, revealing his sharp fangs.

The blue dragon girl looked decent, with a symmetrical figure, deep blue dragon scales, and bright eyes. But Saga’s attitude towards her was not affected by this.

If Saga learned the transformation spell and adjusted his dragon features to look like a little dragoness, he would definitely be pursued by countless male true dragons. Compared to that, the blue dragon girl was just a bit pretty.

At the same time.

The weather at sea changed rapidly, and the wind and rain gradually subsided.

The dark clouds thinned out, and the thunder that had been rumbling inside them disappeared at some point, leaving no trace of lightning.

Soon.

A beam of light broke through the thinning clouds and descended from the sky, marking the end of the storm that had lasted almost all night.

Saga looked up.

As if it had been cleansed, the clear and bright sky was bathed in a faint glow of sunlight.

“My lord, there is some bad news to tell you.”

After the storm subsided, the sun shone brightly. After a while, Tig, the black shark, finished tallying the losses, his expression somewhat heavy. He stood behind Saga and reported to the young dragon who had previously displayed his might.

“Some of the small beasts in the pen died because the storm was too fierce, especially your favorite flower sheep. Seventeen or eighteen of them died from the cold and fright.”

Flower sheep were not easy to raise. They would die if they were unhappy or uncomfortable.

“The orchard was also affected. The sunset fruit, purple-skinned bananas, and curved coconuts. Some of the unripe fruits were blown off by the strong winds and rain.”

“.”

“Finally, twelve of our warriors died in the battle against the undead, and about forty or fifty were injured to varying degrees. The yellow crystal earth dragon and the white feather gryphon also suffered some injuries.”

When Tig mentioned the casualties of the shark tribe, he turned his head and looked emotionlessly at the strange human skull spider.

The demon warlock didn’t hesitate to glare back.

“Little shark, hehehe, it seems like you have an opinion of me. What, are you not happy with my lord’s decision to accept me?”

As an old creature who had lived for hundreds of years, it was very skilled at throwing shade.

However, although the black shark was reclusive, it was not lacking in intelligence or emotional intelligence. It did not respond angrily to the demon warlock, but instead looked at Saga and said, “My lord’s will is the command we must follow.”

Listening to the conversation between the black shark and the demon warlock, Saga remained unmoved, with a calm expression.

A harmonious atmosphere among the followers was not what Saga wanted to see.

A certain level of conflict and contradiction would be easier to manage.

The demon warlock sneered at the black shark and then propped up its head with its bony hand, saying, “I can use the necromancy transformation spell on the dead sharks, turning them into undead or skeletons, making them more useful than when they were alive. Hehehe, what do you think?”

After hearing the demon warlock’s sinister words, the black shark remained expressionless and unprovoked.

Sharks were naturally ferocious, and when there was a shortage of food in the tribe, they had been known to eat their dead kin. In the shark’s view, this was like having their kin living inside them, fighting alongside them, and was a glorious and normal behavior.

It instead asked the demon warlock, “Can you really do that?”

“If I can, I will gather the corpses of the deceased tribe members and have you transform them into undead to serve the tribe and be loyal to my lord once again.”

The demon warlock:.

It knew about the shark tribe, but it did not understand the shark’s view of life and death.

It admired this view and thought how wonderful it would be if all creatures had this perspective. That would be a paradise for necromancers. Hmph, I dug up some people’s ancestors’ graves and brought them back to life. They should be grateful to me, but instead, they want to hunt me down. It’s despicable and ignorant.

“Tsk, I can do it, but why should I help you.”

The demon warlock’s upper and lower jaws made a cracking sound without flesh.

The shark’s attitude towards the corpses of the deceased pleased the demon warlock, but that did not mean the demon warlock would have a friendly conversation with the black shark. This guy was not a good person to begin with, and how could a mere fourth-tier shark be worthy of the attention of such a great mage? In its prime, the demon warlock wouldn’t even spare a glance at the other party.

During the battle against the death knight and the undead minions, the black shark broke through from the peak of the third tier to the fourth tier.

At this point, both of them looked at Saga.

“Tig, if that’s what you want, then take it with you and let it transform the deceased tribe members for you.””Additionally, keep a close eye on it, and if there’s any unusual movement, kill it immediately.”

Saga nodded at Heisha, saying.

Heisha’s loyalty was certainly higher than that of a death mage, and Saga preferred those who were loyal to him.

“My lord, rest assured.”

Heisha first responded to Saga, then gave the demon warlock a ferocious smile, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

The circle of burly shark-tigers around them also stared at the demon warlock with malicious eyes, sizing him up with ill intent.

The demon warlock’s expression stiffened, then he shook his grotesque body and said in a hoarse voice, “Master, my current condition is actually quite poor, casting the Skeleton Transformation spell will consume a lot of magic power and mental strength, you see…”

It wanted to conserve its magic power and improve its own situation.

Flames burst from the nostrils of the Hatchling Dragon, and Saga looked at the demon warlock with a menacing gaze.

“I don’t want to repeat myself.”

Saga did not wish for the demon warlock to recover, its current state was quite satisfactory.

Making it consume more magic power and mental energy during this time was also for the subsequent casting of the Soul Slave Mark.

And it wasn’t just about continuing to weaken the necromancer.

After dealing with the Tremorboar, Saga needed enough minions to mine for gems. The veins under the mountains of First Quarter Island were deeply hidden and not so easy to mine. If Saga were to do it himself, with his strength, he could easily damage the delicate and valuable Magic Gems.

“Alright, I understand, heh.”

Under Saga’s indifferent gaze, the demon warlock shrank its head and spoke.
