Chapter 293: A high-end and atmospheric thug

"Can you be sure that this black dragon is older or older?"

As we all know, the strength of the dragons is linked to their age, even the weakest white dragon, living to the primeval dragon stage is just as strong as the extreme, and the consequences of making a mistake in this matter are very serious. The suspicious and sensitive Luo Zhengdao never trusted the information collected by his subordinates, even if they did not have the bad intention of subjectively lying, the crappy professionalism of these guys also made him feel panicked when he thought about it.

Similar to what kind of traverser can cultivate a group of shrewd and capable spy personnel who are more powerful than 007 in three times and five by two, that kind of little white story is purely a golden finger to open up, okay! In the field of business intelligence, not only does it require an unlimited amount of money to be thrown into it, but the specific person in charge of the important task must also have a very good talent and sense of responsibility, and even a strong sense of mission, and the core person who is responsible for presiding over the overall situation is particularly crucial. Of course, if you can't meet many of the above conditions, you can make do with a grass platform team at will, the question is who will be pitted in the end, and it is estimated that the answer is self-evident.

At this time, in the face of the regent's gaze, the cold sweat on the forehead of Lord Sakhalin de Broglie, who was in charge of intelligence work, knew that this bowl of rice between light and darkness was not easy to eat, and his boss was doubly difficult to serve, so he had to reply stubbornly:

"Yes, Your Highness. Judging from the analysis of various reports provided by our intelligence officers, judging from the size of the body, it is not an ancient black dragon but also an elderly black dragon, Your Highness. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Luo Zhengdao's mouth twitched slightly, and he said:

"Alright! It never hurts to give it a try, and don't let me down again. ”

Upon hearing this, Lord de Broglie, who was relieved, wiped his sweat and hurriedly said:

"We will faithfully do your will, Your Highness."

This year-round mist, saltwater swamp is not a pleasant sight, whether it's the muddy ground or the ubiquitous blood-sucking insects, or even the ferocious saltwater crocodile lurking in muddy puddles and reeds waiting to hunt for food, this hellish place can no longer find an appreciative outsider except for the pervert who likes to push his limits without anything.

"Humble little reptile, have you broken into my home and want to steal my treasure?"

Moss grew between the cracks in the steel-hard black scales, and the massive black dragon's eyes widened, and it spoke a lingua franca to the intruder. For dragons, being remembered for their treasures is one of the most troublesome things, and these natural misers are never soft on thieves, no, it should be said that they are never soft.

The dragon does have the confidence to despise the other races of the New World, whether it is in terms of individual wisdom and ability or the length of life, among all the mortal races, the dragon race is second to none of the top existences, so pride, and even the arrogance of the empty eyes, also has a strong capital.

If it weren't for the fact that after defeating the giant civilization, the dragons got carried away and exposed their ambition to dominate the world too early, and were secretly given a cruel dose by the vigilant Aragami, the glory era of the dragon is estimated to last for tens of thousands of years, or even longer. It's a pity that the world regret medicine is not sold, due to the negative effects of the curse of the gods, the reproductive ability of the pure-blood dragons has dropped to a tragically low level, and even the most basic generation renewal is difficult to meet, causing the dragons to struggle on the verge of genocide for a long time and are unable to extricate themselves.

Needless to say, this extremely low fertility level simply cannot withstand the casualties of a large-scale war, and the dragons can no longer afford to fight for supremacy, so they can only choose to retreat to remote and secluded places to avoid being harmed by thieves who covet treasures. If not, it is estimated that today, all the intelligent races in the new world will survive under the shadow cast by the powerful hegemony of the dragon race.

When it comes to how terrifying and weird the power of the Aragami curse is, Luo Zhengdao is one of the most powerful people in the new world about this matter. Curiously looking at the slender black line that could be seen faintly on the top of the black dragon's head, symbolizing the curse power of the Aragami, he said calmly:

"I'm Will Needham, the regent of the human race, and I want to hire you to raid the main continent, are you interested in this construction?"

The black dragon's eyes flashed with a sharp cold light like a sword blade, and he roared loudly and said:

"What's the pay?"

"Gold, gems, and magic items."

Luo Zhengdao's answer didn't seem to satisfy the black dragon, and it spewed out a breath of thick mist that stirred its side, and said in a displeased tone:

"Hmph, do you think I'm a poor bastard?"

Seeing this, he couldn't see any change in Luo Zhengdao's expression from his appearance, he just spread his hands and said:

"Alright! So what do you want? ”

Squinting at the visitor, the black dragon's eyelids were slightly closed, as if he felt sleepy, and said:

"I'm not interested in your construction, get out! Little crawler! ”

"Presumptuous!"

Hearing such humiliating words, Brando Scarlet, who came with him, angrily stretched out his hand to grasp the hilt of the big sword, and Luo Zhengdao stopped him in time and said:

"Calm down, we're not here to challenge the dragons."

Facing the old black dragon, Luo Zhengdao looked at it with four eyes, this wordless gaze competition lasted for nearly a minute, Luo Zhengdao suddenly showed a smile on his face, as if he had grasped the weakness of the other party, and said:

"Everyone has a suitable price, and I'm sure the dragon is the same, if I'm not mistaken, you'll be running out of life!"

There is no doubt that the immortal species is a standard upper-level species in the new world, although the dragons were pitted by the Aragami miserably, and lost the ability to dominate the world because the population fecundity was too low. The number of a race is too small, no matter how powerful an individual is, it will not be able to rule the world, and as the number of dragons' mouths has plummeted, dragons will not need so much space to live. In addition, it is conceivable that madmen who dare to use dragons to study biology are hard to find in the mortal race, and even if a few legal professionals can do so, they have to worry about whether the dragon god will be angry because of this, and those dragons who avenge their own people can raze a prosperous empire to the ground.

In the absence of sufficient research support, how to accurately determine the lifespan of a dragon is undoubtedly a head-scratching problem for races other than the dragon race itself.

At this time, the old black dragon's eyes shining with a faint golden light suddenly widened, staring at Luo Zhengdao, as if he wanted to find out some secret from this human being.

The two sides confronted each other in silence for a long time, and the old black dragon finally couldn't hold it back, and spewed out a breath of hot air from his nostrils, and said:

"Human, what do you want to say?"

When it comes to this, it is too unethical to continue to sell Guanzi, Luo Zhengdao did not hide his hole cards, and said straightforwardly:

"I have a way to extend the natural lifespan of a natural creature by one-tenth, are you interested?"

The world of swords and sorcery is not omnipotent, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, and wanting to go against the sky is not an understatement, especially for increasing the natural lifespan and transforming into intelligent undead creatures. Otherwise, why did the Grand Arcanists turn themselves into undead creatures like lichs, didn't they want to gain immortality in their human form? It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't do it at all, the decay of the human body is irreversible, and that already involves the profound mysteries of the law level.

If Luo Zhengdao on the other side said to extend the life span by double, the old black dragon would not hesitate to breathe out, that kind of nonsense is purely to deceive others, it seems much more credible to say that extending one-tenth of the lifespan is much more credible, for an immortal species like the dragon, one-tenth of the lifespan can also reach hundreds of years.

After thinking about it for a while, the old black dragon could no longer hold back when it was difficult to resist the temptation, and said tentatively:

"Say it! Human, you'd better not let me find out you're lying. ”

Seeing more insidious calculations in the pile of old papers, Luo Zhengdao hates conspiracy and trickery from the bottom of his heart, since he is a strong man, he must have the self-confidence and self-esteem and self-love of a strong man. At this time, he took out a fist-sized crystal bottle from the space bag and said:

"This is an advance payment, don't ask me what kind of potion it is, and I won't tell you if I do, but you can try to drink it. If you agree to accept the employment, I will pay another bottle of the same liquid afterwards, if you don't, then let's say goodbye! ”

The New World doesn't have too many means to detect toxicity and harmfulness, and trying to kill a giant dragon with a bottle of poison, and an elderly black dragon with super toxin resistance, is a bad joke, and it is ridiculous that Cheng dΓΉ is planning to drown a fish with lots and lots of water.

Holding the potion with the tip of his claws, he put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, the old black dragon's tone softened, since the other party was willing to pay half of the payment in advance, it meant that he was very confident in his chips, and he gasped and said:

"Well, well! Human, I agree to accept this task, when will your payment be paid? ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao gestured to the entourage behind him, and then handed a bundle of thick parchment to Heilong, and then said:

"This is the map of the main continent, the red circles marked on it are the places that need to be attacked, if you successfully attack more than two-thirds of the total, I will send someone to bring another bottle of potion. If the quest is done better, I can increase the amount of reward, this potion is useless if I drink too much, and I pay with gold and jewels, is there a problem? ”

"Very nice, human. You've convinced me, let's make a contract! Please be a witness to the dragon god! ”

"No problem."

The idea of planning to pull a black dragon to be a mercenary is indeed ingenious, Luo Zhengdao doesn't want to use the magic card to provoke the curse of the Aragami, and he has to do everything possible to deal with those difficult goblin air cavalry. In a dilemma, it is undoubtedly a good choice to choose a flying monster with dragon power that can deter group combat, and a black dragon who is good at hiding his own whereabouts.

On the return journey, Brando Scarlet, who accompanied him, couldn't help but ask Luo Zhengdao for advice and said:

"Your Highness, do you think that black dragon is reliable?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who seemed to be determined in his heart, smiled and said:

"Appointing the dragon god as a witness to the oath, I don't doubt that the dragon god will favor the dragon, it doesn't dare to do anything that damages the credibility of the gods, and the other half of the reward is in my hands, and the black dragon wants to be paid if he can't get the certificate to complete the task, do you think that kind of thing can happen?"
