Chapter 197: The Way Out
After the most troublesome things are solved,
After several days of running and fighting, Gran was extremely tired physically and mentally, and wanted to live a peaceful life for a few days.
It's better to just take a break without worrying about anything.
The Green Dragons, including the Lizardmen and the Bear Clan, can help take care of it, and Gran feels that he should not have to do anything in the short term and can rest well.
However, Gran's wish did not come true.
Only a day later, another trouble found him, and it had nothing to do with Gran.
Kyle the Wyvern discovers that Gran and the others have returned, but Blazing Rock has not.
So I came to Gran to find out if Blazing Rock was alive or dead.
Gran decides to tell Kyle the truth, and the two dragons choose to meet on a mountain peak in Dragon Valley.
Kyle had arrived alone, desperate to find out what had happened to Blazing Rock.
Kyle: "We've been waiting for news from Blazing Rock for the past few days, is it running away satisfied with the treasure?" Why haven't you heard from it for so long. ”
Without hesitation, Gran replied, "Blazing Rock is gone." ”
“!” Kyle suspects he's misheard.
Gran thinks Kyle doesn't understand, so he speaks more bluntly, "Blazing Rock has been killed, along with the rest of his men, under siege by the Dryads." ”
"It's fake, isn't it?" Kyle can't believe this, and although he hates Blazing Rock, he acknowledges Blazing Rock's strength.
Such a dragon would be killed by the Dryads, and Kyle hates Blazing Rock, but hates them like many dragons.
Blazing Rock, the son of the dragon, is killed by the dryad, which makes Kyle feel very angry.
Gran could see what Kyle was thinking, and explained, "It's not fake, there are tens of thousands of dryads there, and Blazing Rock insists on fighting to the death, and it eventually runs out of strength and is besieged to death by thousands of dryads. ”
Because Gran didn't witness the situation with his own eyes, he didn't know exactly how Blazing Rock died, only that Blazing Rock was blown up by the Ancestor Yanlong after he died, and the dryads that killed Blazing Rock were also burned to a charred black thing by the Ancestor Yanlong.
The battle had also taken a toll on Gran, who was still sore and weak, and the scars from the spear of the Dryad Commander were troublesome. The wounds were hard to heal due to the power of the Dryad Recipient, and if they hadn't been healed with the help of Azure, they would have festered.
Kyle pondered in silence for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "... If this is all true, then what do we do next? Blazing Rock is the leader of the faction, and when it dies, the faction is about to be disbanded. ”
"Indeed, after Blazing Rock is dead, you don't have to continue to be subordinate to it because of your oath." Gran said blandly that he wouldn't deal with the mess left by Blazing Rock just because he had coaxed Blazing Rock to go to Ash Mountain and caused it to die from a dryad.
"It's time for us to think about our own way out." Kyle hadn't thought that the Blazing Rock, which had been pressing down on his head like a mountain, would suddenly die, and he hadn't planned for his future after leaving the Blazing Rock faction.
Kyle asks Gran, "Speaking of which, are you lacking dragons in Dragon Valley?" ”
"Huh?" Gran hadn't considered the possibility of Kyle joining Ryugu before, but after thinking about it carefully, he replied, "It's a shortage, if you don't want to live alone, you can also cooperate with Ryugu." ”
Kyle didn't immediately agree, "Let's take a moment to think it through, but then again, do you still owe me some resources?" ”
Gran had promised to exchange resources with Kyle for information on the Blazing Rock faction, but Gran refused to give it to Kyle on the grounds that he wanted to settle the Blazing Rock affair first.
In fact, he has this resource at all.
Now that Blazing Rock is dead, there is no reason for Gran to fool Kyle, and he is forced to speak, "It seems that there is such a thing, I have prepared some dragon corpses for you, and you can come to Dragon Valley to get them then." ”
The corpses of the so-called dragons are the treasure hunters that Gran killed in Dragon Valley a few days ago, because considering the strength of those dragons is very good, they think that their corpses can also be used, so they keep it.
At this stage, Glenn can only provide Kyle with such a thing.
"The corpse of a dragon?" Kyle's ugly expression looks like he's asking Gran 'how do you provide such a thing', clearly not wanting to.
Gran felt that this was normal: "Those corpses turned out to be dragons with very strong blood, you can use those corpses to analyze the power they hold, maybe you can get something." ”
Gran wasn't just a make-up of empty words, dragons do extract useful things from the corpses of other dragons.
So Gran's words moved Kyle to say, "Hmm... Okay, I'll find my brothers to pick it up later. ”
Glenn continued, "Then I'll ask you a question, has White Dragon White ever been back to you?" ”
Kyle shook his head, "No, the White Dragon Strategist hasn't reappeared since he disappeared last time... Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Looking for it? ”
"It's fine." Gran wanted to know what the white dragon was doing, and thought that when the treasure was transported back to Dragon Valley, the white dragon would appear again to snatch the treasure, but he didn't see the white dragon at all, and he didn't imitate another dragon, or he simply didn't appear.
"Please go back and don't tell the other dragons that Blazing Rock is dead, let the other dragons in the Blazing Rock camp maintain their current lives first." Gran wanted to stall for time to come up with a solution.
The situation in Ash Mountain could have an impact on the situation in parts of the world.
Only a third of the hundreds of dragons that were brought to the Grey Mountains survived, and among the dead dragons were the lords of some regions, and when those dragons died, those regions would definitely change.
However, the most influential thing in it is probably the dead Blazing Rock.
The dissolution of the Blazing Rock faction and the regaining the freedom of the dragons in the faction will have a big impact on this area of the eastern coast of the continent.
Gran didn't know what those dragons would do, but Gran didn't want to see White Dragon White return to the Blazing Rock camp and take over the power controlled by Blazing Rock, and he felt that White Dragon had a trick up his sleeve in entrapping other dragons, and it was possible to do this kind of thing in the name of Blazing Rock not yet dead.
Gran instructed Kyle, "Anyway, if White Dragon White doesn't go back, let's keep this matter a secret." ”
Kyle asked, "And what if it goes back?" ”
"Then tell me about Blazing Rock's death." Gran plans to leave a time bomb for the Blazing Rock faction to blow up White Dragon.
Kyle thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, that's what I'll do." ”
With that, Gran negotiates with Kyle, and Kyle returns with the news that Blazing Rock is dead.
And Gran finds Rhett.
He said to Red, "Brother Red, the impact of Blazing Rock's death is quite large. ”
Red sighed: "Yes, I still remember that I agreed with it to fight a life-and-death duel thirty years later, and I didn't expect this guy to die in the Gray Mountain area because of his recklessness." ”
Gran felt that it was a good thing that he didn't have to fight this duel, and that a one-on-one duel between Blazing Rock and Red would probably be a lose-lose.
"Let's not talk about that, Brother Red, are you interested in adding new members to Dragon Valley and expanding the regions we control.
”
