Chapter 62: So I Thought
Macaria didn't know why the Blue Dragon Lord had such confidence in his own clan, and it had been centuries since Tiefrin left the political scene of the Shulais Continent.
A few centuries is not a short time for a true dragon, let alone the Tieflings, who have a lifespan similar to that of humans.
Over the centuries, Tieflin has lost her home and wandered through the humanoid nation like a rat crossing the street.
In the beginning, they still had the knowledge of the nobility of the past, but no country dared to use them to govern the country.
In the minds of almost the vast majority of people, they are already devils after trading with the devil.
Except for the Bal Tulasi Empire, which other country dares to use the devil to govern the country openly?
Soon the descendants of Bar Tulasi found that their aristocratic manners, aristocratic dress, art, culture, etc., were of no use at all, and were not even as practical as a carpenter's making of a wooden stool.
In order to have enough to eat, they also put down their dignity and engaged in the low-class gangsters, thieves and liars that they once despised, relying on their appearance to intimidate and the ignorance of some people, so they thought they were monsters, at least the race survived.
But since then, they have had nothing to do with the great nobles of the former empire.
And a few centuries later, suddenly a person came to them and said that they wanted to regain the rules and management skills of the old aristocracy, which was really a bit of nonsense - running a country and a city is not something that can be done well by learning it.
However, Macaria also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if her clan could really show their abilities and serve these two blue dragons, then their clan's life would be turned upside down.
Not only them, but Tieflin, who was struggling to survive outside, would definitely receive the news that they would rally here at Schals if they were eager to change their social status.
Perhaps, the glory of the former Bal Tulasi Empire can be restored.
Dreams still have to be had, what if they come true?
Macaria turned to look at a male tiflin, "Iados, go and bring Lucis and them." β
"How can it be? Patriarch! Iados protested, "They're still children, we can't give them up!" β
"But they're also Tifflins, and shouldn't they be sacrificing for their people?" Macaria coldly corrected Iados's words, "And, only as hostages, as long as we don't give them up, they won't be abandoned." β
"If it's a hostage, we can ...... without children"
"I don't want to continue arguing with you about this nonsense, isn't it me the patriarch of the Scharstifflin clan now?" Macaria said.
"I can't take it." Iados refused to back down, "I'm sure everyone agrees that we should take on these responsibilities rather than let those children bear the responsibilities of adults, and we made a vow that Tieflin would never betray our companions again!" β
Makaria suddenly walked towards Iados, her golden eyes unremarkable, and Blue could see her anger in them, even if they were different from those of humans.
"Anyone can say such righteous and awe-inspiring words, Iados Creed! Tiefling's name represents a virtue or destiny, and your pseudonym, Creed, stands for 'Creed', you should know what our creed has always been! β
"Is the life of seven children more noble than the rest of the Tieflins? And how many more times will I repeat, we did not give up on them! β
"But if the plan fails, will Lord Blue Dragon still run away with them?"
Macaria's anger was even greater: "Is that something you need to think about?" Don't you understand your master's thoughts? β
Ha, do you understand my thoughts?
No, what is in my mind, in fact, I don't know very well, why do you suddenly understand?
Blue is as steady as an old dog on the outside, but he is already flustered inside.
Could it be that this Macaria has a mind-reading technique? How high-level does a mind reading technique that is effective against a true dragon have to be?
"Those little kids are here, they don't have any role at all, they're just unfinished products, they're just superfluous people here."
"That's why the adults let them be hostages, so that it won't affect our mission. And we, as adults of the Scharstieffling family, have an important task entrusted to us by our adults, and it is already very difficult to complete the learning tasks they have commanded. There are not enough people in the first place, and if some people are required to serve as hostages, it will be impossible to complete the task. β
"That's why Lord Blue took the minor Tieflin away as a burden so that we could concentrate on our mission. Of course, adults are not stupid, children must be easier to control than us, and their ability to escape is very weak...... Isn't it a good thing for us that the master has such wisdom? And what we can do is to live up to the kindness of adults and work hard to complete the characters given to us by adults. β
"Don't you feel ashamed to not even understand this, to avoid your own tasks, to 'give up', Iados Creed?"
Sitting on the couch, Blue stared blankly at the beautiful Macaria and the sturdy Iados, and although he suddenly changed from the original protagonist to the appearance of a regular spectator, he did not feel angry - because he was already confused.
Wow, that's amazing, that's what I thought.
I just thought that if I didn't ask for anything, the other party would look down on our two siblings, and I just thought that Tiefling's children would be cute, so I asked for it.
How did it suddenly become for their sake?
Golden-eyed this guy, he talks in a set way, this guy is suitable for being a leader!
After being harshly spoken by Macaria, Iados's face became very pale, and the tail behind him also shook a few times quickly, and then wrapped around his feet - it seems that Tieflin's tail is a very faithful reflection of the master's mood, and once the mood fluctuates violently, it will end up wrapped around his feet.
But even so, he didn't turn his head away, and still met Macaria's gaze.
"Patriarch...... You're right, it's my idea that's wrong. Eventually, the male Tieflin obeyed the patriarch's orders.
"It's good to know." Macaria exhaled, then smiled, "Go and call the children now, you may not be able to see them for a while, tell them about the situation, and then say goodbye." β
Iados nodded, then gave Blue and Krishanna a deep look before leaving the hall.
Krisanna looked at Iados and licked her lips, thinking to herselfβ
Bluru could be so kind, could he be planning to add Tifflin to the recipe?
It's a little smelly, and I don't know how it tastes......
