Chapter 0559: Bargaining
Seeing Grim step forward to carry Mary, looking like he was going to turn around and leave, the 3rd Order Thunder Dragon Arms, who had just lost a lot of blood, finally couldn't hold his breath.
"What the hell do you want, human wizard?" said Ames, snarling weakly.
This abominable human wizard, ever since he captured the Thunder Dragon on the goblin plane, has transferred it to a higher plane through a special goblin teleporter. Although the 3rd Order Brontosaurus had never been to this plane, with its keen sense of smell and plane perception, it had sniffed a strong wizard aura in the laws of this plane world.
Chaos, Evil, Strange and Powerful......
While wizards prefer to wear the title of erudition on their heads, erudition is a joke when faced with dragons that can live for thousands of years.
The inherited knowledge that the dragon has acquired through the bloodline of the dragon clan is a first-class advanced knowledge even in the entire multiverse. Ordinary plane creatures don't even have the opportunity to contact and learn!
Ever since he was imprisoned in this cramped and lowly place by the other party, Arms the Thunder Dragon has thought countless times about how to deal with the torture and torture of human wizards. It is wise, and even the coping strategies have been considered one by one.
To its dismay, however, the human wizard only appeared once when it was sealed, and then left behind an abominable elemental golem to bleed it constantly.
Without bitter persuasion, without vicious persecution, the human wizard seemed to regard it only as a powerful resource point for activities, and did nothing else but bleed.
This...... It undoubtedly made the 3rd Order Thunder Dragon suspicious!
With the strong strength of the dragon clan, any human wizard who catches them will not be willing to dismantle them in eight pieces, and only harvest some 'insignificant' dragon card resources. Dragon's blood, dragon's tendon, dragon's meat, dragon's bone, dragon's crystal...... Although these things are valuable, how can they compare to a living Rank 3 dragon?
Therefore, Arms is confident that the other party is just using this attitude to undermine his own mental defense. Once the Thunder Dragon can't bear the torture, the other party will be able to take the opportunity to put forward some terrible conditions that will embarrass it.
For example, the 'partnership contract', such as the dragon secret, such as the dragon knowledge......
As a pure-blooded dragon, and as the pride of the Brontosaurus clan, no matter which one of the above is unacceptable to it!
Even if it faces death, it will never accept it!
But if you don't agree to these conditions of the enemy, you want the other party to let you go unconditionally...... This kind of negotiation is no less difficult than the former.
Therefore, after thinking about it, seeing that Grim was about to leave, the thunder dragon Ames, who thought he was calm, finally couldn't help but speak.
Hearing the stubborn Brontosaurus speak, Grim also stopped.
"You can't give me what I want!"
"If you don't say it, how do you know I can't give it to ......"
"I want you to ......," Grim said bluntly, looking at Arms.
"Don't think that the great Brontosaurus bloodline will bow down to humans weaker than it, even if you're a wizard......" Brontosaurus Arms replied categorically.
"Then what are you talking about?" Grim twitched the corners of his mouth coldly, and he was about to leave again.
"Wait......" Brontosaurus Arms couldn't help but say in a loud voice.
In this hurry, it used a little force, and a series of witchcraft runes immediately lit up on the rune chain, and Ames felt the pain of burning his flesh and blood in an instant.
Brontosaurus Arms hissed a few times in pain, but he didn't dare to move his body in the slightest. It wasn't until the stressful runes on the rune chains gradually died out that it slowly crawled out of the abyss of pain.
"I ...... Although it is not possible...... Surrender to you, but...... Can I use ...... My servant...... Instead of ......, it seems that the witchcraft counterattack just now really hurt it a lot, and it is even weak to speak."
Grim raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and glanced at the dragonman Zacha in the other pillar of light.
When that second-order dragon man Zacha was first brought into the sealing room, his whole form was miserable and indescribable.
Trapped underground for more than ten consecutive days, it has become the reserve dry food of the owner of the thunder dragon, and the flesh and blood of the lower half of the body have almost been eaten away, and even the upper body has been eaten miserably.
When he first brought it back, Grim wasn't sure he would be able to save it. After all, such an 'injury' is too unbelievable and terrifying!
But I have to say that the dragonmen deserve to have half of the dragon blood. Even with such a serious injury, with only the treatment and recuperation of Gargamel, a half-baked apothecary, it was actually brought back to life, and it was also recovered.
Originally, Grim thought that it would hate the Brontosaurus Arms so much that it would be easy to bring him down.
But who would have thought that this second-order dragon man Zacha turned out to be an elm head. No matter how Grim and Gargamel mobilized and provoked, it didn't say a word, and it still looked like it was obedient to the Brontosaurus Ames.
At this point, Grim had to admit that the binding force of the bloodline on most creatures was far beyond his imagination!
Originally, Grim had given up on Zacha, the dragonman, and gave up the idea of recruiting him. But who knows, today's words of Thunder Dragon Arms have reborn him a glimmer of hope.
Although there was some ecstasy in his heart, there was no leakage on Grim's cold and handsome face, but a contemptuous sneer appeared.
"You're a Rank 3 dragon...... Now I want to replace you with a Tier 2 Dragonman...... Do you think wizards are brainless fools?"
"Of course not...... Of course not......" A dragon lord was reprimanded by a small human wizard in front of him at this moment. If it had been left in the past, the thunder dragon Arms would have spewed a mouthful of dragon breath and blasted it into nothingness. But now, it can only accompany the caution and explain in a low voice.
"I will exchange your wealth for my freedom!"
"Dragon Wealth?" Hearing this, Grim couldn't help but groan.
The dragons are extremely good at collecting money, which is a well-known thing throughout the multiverse.
Each dragon lives with its parents as a child, but once it reaches adulthood, it is kicked out by its parents and forced to live on its own. As for the most direct reason behind this, it is not that the male and female dragons are looking forward to its independence, but that they are afraid that it will covet the wealth they have worked so hard to loot.
So when each dragon reaches adulthood, it builds a dragon's nest and then runs around plundering the wealth of other intelligent creatures. Human City, Elven Tree City, Dwarven Castle, Gnome Crypt...... Even monsters that are not as powerful as it can be ravaged by dragons.
Gold, jewels, rare ores, artifacts, magic gems, and everything else imbued with the power of the elements...... They are the dragons' favorite targets to collect and raid.
When the dragon's plundered wealth reaches its psychological limit, it becomes increasingly lazy and cautious. Spend the day hiding in the dragon's lair, lying on his stomach on top of his mountain of treasures, and snoring and sleeping.
And the dragons of this period are the most reluctant to leave the dragon's lair, and they are also the most powerful.
So when he suddenly heard of Ames's proposal, Grim was first thrilled, and then looked at the brontosaurus with suspicion.
"Ames, as far as I know, you still seem to be a young dragon. And...... This invasion of the goblin plane seems to be the first time you have run outside the lair to do this robbery...... Do you have any wealth in your dragon's lair?"
Hearing this, Thunder Dragon Ames's face instantly collapsed.
It didn't expect this human wizard to look so young and gather so much information on it. It's a little difficult to deceive the other party again!
"I ...... ...... in my lair Some...... Fortune ......" lied to a low-level creature for the first time, and the third-order brontosaurus Arms simply felt that his dragon face had been lost.
"That wealth is enough to ransom a Tier 3 dragon?" asked Grim.
"Enough...... Enough...... Is it certainly not enough...... But...... You just put me back, I'm ...... I'll definitely go to the people and borrow it...... Enough wealth to redeem the ......" For some reason, the stammering of Thunder Dragon Arms in this passage has not lost his usual high-spirited and high-minded momentum at all.
"I've never heard of dragons lending their wealth to their people, not even those dragon mates!" Grim was no longer suspicious this time, but glared at Arms with a fierce gaze.
For the first time in his life, Arms the Thunder Dragon hated the wizard's knowledge.
But what it hates more are the dragon bastards who spread the secrets of the dragons everywhere!
In the face of the aggressive gaze of the wizard opposite, even the self-proclaimed and great Thunder Dragon Arms was a little uneasy.
"I can grab it for you...... I'm going to 'borrow' ...... for you," Brontosaurus' tone finally softened.
"What do you mean, you're willing to work for me?" said Grim.
"No!" Who knows, as soon as this problem was encountered, the thunder dragon that had been a little loose just now hardened again: "According to the tradition of our dragon clan, pure-blooded dragons are not allowed to become foreign partners, slaves, or mounts. Once you violate this, you will be spurned by the entire dragon clan and lose the protection of the dragon god!"
"What do you mean...... You can serve me, but you can't sign any contract of servitude?" asked Grim tentatively, tasting it.
This time, the thunder dragon did not refuse, nor did he affirm, but stared at Grim with a complicated expression, without saying a word.
Grim vaguely understood something.
The faith and soul of the dragon will always belong to His Majesty the great and divine dragon god.
This is a bottom line that can never be disobeyed and touched!
As long as he doesn't step on this red line, in order to save his life, Thunder Dragon Arms is still willing to make some concessions!
After understanding the opponent's hand, Grim's heart was overjoyed, and his eyes couldn't help but turn quickly.
