The green lake water flowed slowly over Raymond's head. The fish in the lake swam in front of everyone, but these little fish were still frightened when they touched the invisible barrier.

Taking a deep breath, Raymond sat calmly in a crude chair, facing the young Naga.

She was Sharon, the little princess of the Naga tribe living in the lake.

Her soft and flowing golden hair draped over her shoulders. Her skin was fairer and more delicate than any woman Raymond had ever seen.

A blue gemstone was inlaid on her bare navel. Her breasts were covered by two white shells, but they were more likely to arouse a man's impulses and desires.

Perhaps Raymond's gaze was too unbridled. The Sharon facing him seemed a little uneasy, and the Naga elder standing behind Sharon glared at Raymond angrily.

"It's not like I wanted to look. Dressed like this, do you want me to close my eyes?" Raymond muttered gloomily, quickly averting his gaze.

Raymond's previous behavior in the hall was a gamble that paid off.

These fishmen of the Naga tribe had moved here not long ago. They originally lived near an island in the surface world, but unfortunately lost in an internal racial war and had to flee to the underworld.

After these remnants entered the underworld, they occupied several interconnected lakes in this prairie and settled down. But after a few years, they simply could not adapt to the high radiation here, causing many members of the tribe to suffer from headaches.

And because there were no seabed areas suitable for the survival of the Naga tribe in the underworld, these Nagas, who lacked food sources, had actually planned to move. But after exploring several areas around the prairie, they did not find a suitable place.

As a member of the Scarlet Wetlands Wizards College, Raymond knew the attitude of the Wizards College towards these neutral or good creatures. As long as these creatures did not show hostility towards the wizards, the communication between the races was what the Wizards College liked to see.

So Raymond, who extended an olive branch, easily gained the trust of these Nagas who had never dealt with the creatures of the underworld.

Because they were extremely simple in nature, even the few Naga elders were easily tricked by Raymond. In communicating with these Nagas, Raymond could feel their goodwill.

The female Nagas were water creatures by nature and could perform powerful water spells, especially the racial talent that gave every adult Naga the strength of at least a first-order wizard.

The male Nagas were naturally knights. The outstanding ones could even reach the standard of human grand knights.

"There are no people in the underworld who understand the Naga language," Raymond said, leisurely tasting the unique Naga drink. "So I want to become the intermediary between the Naga tribe and the underworld. I will help you integrate here, but I will charge a reasonable fee."

"Human! If you dare deceive us, your death will be 10,000 times more miserable than hanging on the altar!" The angry Naga elder had lost his temper for the third time.

Raymond, with an imperceptible playful look on his face, put the crystal glass on the table. Felix's terrible death on the altar still made him feel palpitations.

But whenever Raymond mentioned this "reasonable fee", it would enrage the old Naga. Because the entire Naga tribe had a matriarchal social structure, and all the property within the tribe belonged to all members. So Raymond's commission was viewed by the Naga elders as robbery.

"If you dare deceive us, the consequences will be very serious!" Princess Sharon, who had remained silent, could not help but speak up. "Exactly how much is your 'reasonable fee'?"

The hissing Nazca language sounded especially crisp and beautiful when spoken by Sharon. Raymond smiled and held up two fingers. "Twenty percent of the transaction volume for the first three years! But as your intermediary, I will ensure the interests of the Naga tribe and will not let you suffer losses!"

As Raymond stated the specific numbers, the Naga elder pointed speechlessly at Raymond.

Even Sharon was frightened by Raymond's appetite.

"You, do you want the Naga tribe to become your slave?" The furious elder cursed after waking up and emitted a strong energy aura from her body.

Raymond, narrowing his eyes, ignored the Naga elder and explained directly to Princess Sharon.

It seemed like a lot, but Raymond was not only responsible for sending the Naga tribe to Scarlet Wetlands. He also needed to teach the Naga tribe the wizard's language so that the Naga tribe could survive in the underworld in the future. He would also arbitrate fairly in transactions between the Naga tribe and the Wizards College.

Food, cloth, and other basic materials aside, the entire Naga tribe needed to select a suitable place to live in Scarlet Wetlands. Raymond said everything he could think of, even arguing at length about the necessity of fair trade.

Talking endlessly, Raymond's calm face had long been about to burst into laughter. Using the chip's logical thinking, he complicated a simple matter. The purpose was quite simple.

It was just normal bargaining. Besides, since the simple-natured Nagas needed to move, it was also fair for Raymond to take advantage of the opportunity according to the Wizards College's principle of fair trade.

A fierce argument ensued. Princess Sharon fled in a hurry, but even if the four Naga elders came to threaten and intimidate together, Raymond refused to give in.

After all, he had the biggest convenience, that he alone mastered the Nazca language now. Unless the Naga tribe could find a powerful wizard skilled in spiritual communication, they couldn't make people understand their language.

Ordinary people's ears could only hear sound waves above 20 Hertz, but the Nazca language used by the Nagas contained a large number of sound waves below 20 Hertz in addition to the hissing sounds similar to snakes.

As a result, no one could understand the Naga tribe's language without direct spiritual communication!
