Chapter 111: Dragon Island Negotiation (1)
Rewind to a recent past.
Viren, Hill, and the Duke of Disgust didn't go as smoothly as they imagined. Especially when it comes to negotiations, the aggressive attitude of the dragons makes it difficult for them to deal with. If it weren't for the Duke's disgust, no one could have said whether their negotiations would have been successful this time.
First of all, in order to show their nobility, the dragon clan specially arranged for the three of them to wait on Dragon Island. Regros may be right when he says that dragons don't like to do business at night, but that doesn't mean they do it during the day.
Viren and the others waited on Dragon Island for two days before the council informed them that they could negotiate. And in the past two days, the three of them have left where they were before, and they are not allowed to go anywhere else. After the dragon who passed the word finished speaking, Ciel was so angry that he immediately wanted to rush up and beat the dragon, but was stopped in advance by the Duke of Disgust.
Viren was also a little unbreathable at this time, but compared to Hill, he still had to be calmer. After he and the Duke of Loathing took turns persuading him, Hill calmed down and finally rested for two days. However, in the past two days, they have also calmed down completely, at least letting them know that this road is not as smooth as they imagined, and it seems that it is understandable for the dragon clan to do this.
After all, this is still the territory of the dragons, and the dragons and the human world are not so harmonious. For a long time in the past, the dragons used all the races of the human world as food, and these races in the human world were also-for-tat, until the war with the apostles, their attitude towards the dragons was to kill one by one, and those who can successfully kill the dragons in the end may also be called "dragon slaying heroes".
From these points, it is enough to see how great the hatred and hatred between the various races in the human world and those dragons in the past were. Therefore, the dragons still maintain a high degree of vigilance against these races living in the human world. So it was understandable not to let Viren and them set foot in the rest of Dragon Island. After all, no one knows what the relationship between the dragons and the human world will be after this war with the apostles is over?
Or an ally? That's impossible. Strictly speaking, even if the negotiations between Viren and Dragon Island were successful, it would only be an agreement they had reached to fight together against the Apostles. They are obviously still far from the alliance. Of course, they can't be allies. Differing interests doomed them to become enemies in the future.
Therefore, it is understandable that Dragon Island is very wary of Viren, Hill, and the Duke of Loathing. After two days to calm them down, the real challenge now comes.
In Dragon Island, it is very difficult to become a speaker. One of the most important things is that you have that life to live for tens of thousands of years. Even if it weren't, thirteen thousand years old was the minimum standard for dragons to become a councilor. Of course, 13,000 years old may not be a very big lifespan in Dragon Island, at best, it is just entering old age. In particular, the aging of Dragon Island has become more and more common, and it can be said that you can become a councilor by pulling an adult dragon out casually. However, there is a second condition to this.
This second condition is a bit harsh for those dragons. This has to start with the history of these councillors on Dragon Island. In the beginning, and for a long time, Dragon Island did not have a speaker. Instead, it is ruled by a dragon known as the dragon god. Legend has it that he is the creator of all dragons, meaning that he is the first dragon in the world. In other words, it was hundreds of thousands of years ago, and at least the time goes back to the last human civilization.
And during the time he ruled Dragon Island, there was nothing to say about the council. Everything is decided by himself, no matter how big or small, everything must be approved by him. To put it more complicated, if the entire dragon clan is a country, then the dragon god is the unique emperor of this entire country.
During the hundreds of thousands of years that he ruled Dragon Island, there was no council for the dragons. It wasn't until 30,000 years after his sudden disappearance that the chaotic dragons gradually gave birth to the entire body of the council, and gradually became the new ruling class.
In the beginning, the chairmen of the Dragon Council were voted on by all the dragons to elect dragons with high seniority and outstanding contributions to the dragons. Moreover, the term of each parliament is 3,000 years. In other words, after 3,000 years, the speaker of the parliament must be replaced.
It's just that this was the standard set during the most turbulent times for the dragons, and the council did play a very good role in those times. However, as time passed, the internal contradictions of the dragon clan became more and more corrupt, and the living environment became more and more harsh, leading to the eventual migration of the dragon clan to Dragon Island. And in this time period, the Dragon Island Council is not as effective as before.
It was during this time period that the Speakers of the Dragons gradually began to corrupt. The first thing they did was to extend the length of time that the parliament was in power, from 3,000 to 20,000 years. And 20,000 years is equivalent to the lifespan of an ordinary dragon. Secondly, they also set a lot of thresholds for the position of Speaker, and not only did they have all the previous military exploits and qualifications, but they also had one more that was simply impossible. That is, only the descendants of the members of parliament are eligible to become speakers. If a person who is not a member of the council wants to be the speaker, he must get the consent of all the speakers. And this is basically something that can't happen. There has never been a dragon who is not a descendant of the Speaker to hold the position of Speaker. Privately, the other dragons called the thirteen dragons who were the speakers thirteen old immortals. Of course, this is just a private name, and this word is still 100% forbidden. And now, it is these thirteen old immortals who are causing trouble to Viren, Hill, and the Duke of Loathing.
The Dragon Isle Council is not what Viren imagined, it is a large palace. Instead, it is set up in an open-air square. The elders of the thirteen councils perched on the rockery in the square according to their priorities. It seems that they are still very sensitive to the identity of humans, otherwise they would not have changed into human form even in such a narrow place now, but they still maintain the form of dragons.
The shape and volume of these thirteen speakers are actually different, and it can almost be said that the shape of each dragon elder is unique. But at this time, the thirteen dragons, the thirteen pairs of eyes that looked at Viren and the three of them contained a meaning that was unanimous, that is, the outright contempt for the human world represented by Viren at this time.
After Viren, Ciel, and the Duke of Loathing saluted them in accordance with the kind of foreign dragons that Regros had taught them beforehand to show their nobility, they were greeted with endless taunts from the dragons.
The attitude of the speaker of the dragon clan on the left side seems very similar to that of the nobles who consider themselves noble, and even the tone is similar. "I have heard that your human world is now being taken by what ... Then, he turned his head to look at the dozens of dragons beside him. They weren't Speakers, they were just ordinary councillors, and some were even dragons who held security and servant positions. He asked them, "By the way, what is that race?" forgive me, after all, I have never cared about these little races that are not famous. ”
This sentence is obviously mocking the weakness of human beings, they are so weak that even a race that casually doesn't know which world they ran out of can easily make them almost exterminated.
If there were no scene but Viren and Hill, they would have been outraged. Because that's an insult. Luckily for them, however, the Duke of Loathing was also present. For the insult of this dragon speaker, the disgusted duke, who is already accustomed to seeing the world, has long been used to it.
"Great Dragon, this race you speak of is called the Apostles. is a powerful race that rules a world. And it is precisely because of them that half of our human world has become their sphere of influence. This includes many of the former habitats of your race. Even, the Apostles turned the Dragon Demon, a creature close to the dragon born from the great Dragon Clan, into another new biological weapon. These biological weapons are not only a threat to us, but they are also a detriment to your noble dragons. ”
The words of the disgusted duke made the entire square explode, whether it was the speaker, or the ordinary councilors, or even those ordinary dragons, they were all extremely shocked after hearing the words of the disgusted duke. This is a great insult to these dragons. Although many dragons were already vaguely aware of this, it was clear that the arrogant and arrogant dragon speaker in front of him had never heard of this before. "What are you talking about, human, you have to know that if there is any falsehood in your words, you will be tormented by endless karmic fire!"
"Of course, I know, great dragons. However, there is not the slightest falsehood in what I say. And this dragon demon is the dragon demon made by Magnus. It is now an excellent weapon for the Apostles to use to conquer the human world, including your former territories. ”
"No race has ever dared to occupy our habitat!"
"Yes, of course not. So, while we have been protecting our hometown, we are also protecting your former homeland. ”
"You, just by you?" another dragon elder spoke: "If you can protect our previous habitat, then it won't be that in just a few years, you have already lost the land of the continent one after another! In less than two years, the entire southeast of the continent has been completely wasted by you, and with your strength, you still talk about protecting your world?"
"It is for this reason that we desperately need your help, noble dragons. ”
"Reason. A dragon with an extraordinary bearing, and at the same time a giant dragon lying on a rockery near the center, asked lightly: "Humans, your world, we have always been paying attention. We do have children who are in your world, and as your world falls, they are in danger. However, we in Dragon Island are outside this whirlpool. Humans, do you think these apostles will be able to come to Dragon Island?"
Viren took a deep breath and replied, "I think it's possible. ”
The dragon flew into the air, and then landed on the ground near Viren, his huge dragon head was only a few dozen centimeters away from Viren, and as he spoke, Viren could even feel the heat generated by the dragon's breathing. "Yes, humans, you know, if it weren't for our permission, I'm afraid you'd always be wandering in the sea, and you'd never come to Dragon Island. ”
"With all due respect, Your Excellency. Do you think that a race capable of traveling from one world to another would not be able to come to an island just a few thousand kilometers away from the mainland? Viren was not polite at all, he didn't want to waste too much time on this matter, all he wanted was to reach an agreement with these dragons as soon as possible, so that these dragons could make up their minds to send troops as soon as possible.
These words immediately caused the dragons to be furious, and some ordinary dragons even pounced directly, if it wasn't for those dragons who maintained order, otherwise Viren might even have no bones left.
"Human, how dare you insult our race in this sacred chamber?"
"I didn't insult you in the slightest. Viren chuckled, "While we're chatting here, countless lives on the continent are facing the mortal threat of those apostles. And in it, there will even be dragons who will be poisoned by this. And the human race or other races were captured by the apostles only as slaves. But those dragons, great dragons, who knows what kind of experiments those apostles will use when they are caught? But, in any case, it is certainly much more effective to use pure dragons as weapons than dragon demons as weapons. ”
