Volume VIII: War and Peace Chapter 7: Negotiations
"We're meeting again, Princess Onexia!"
Yu Bin bowed slightly to the Black Dragon Princess, who was escorted into the cave by Lasio, and said. In order to imprison Onexia's power, Lacio and Sebrigark teamed up to place a ban on her, leaving Onexia in human form and unable to use the slightest power of a dragon.
"It's you!" Onexia said in surprise, she thought that the mastermind behind all this was Sinestra, or even Nefarian, but she never thought that it would be Yu Bin, a humble undead in her eyes.
"It's me! This is the second time we've met! Yu Bin said with a smile, waving his hand to signal that Sebrigalk did not have to face the enemy, and now except for this shadow three-headed dog in the cave, the others were all humanoids, which made Sebrigalk occupy a huge space.
In Onexia's incredible eyes, the eyes were empty, and the invincible Shadow Three-Headed Dog quickly shrank to the size of a calf, as a legendary-level existence, of course Sebrigalk could change into a human form, but this behavior was regarded as a shame by the Shadow Three-Headed Dogs, and it was naturally impossible for him to do so, and it was already very face-giving to Yu Bin to be able to change into this little big now.
"Lord Lacio, thank you very much for your help, please say hello to His Majesty Sinestra on my behalf!" Yu Bin motioned for Banora to bring in two large boxes of fresh meat from outside the cave to satisfy Sebrigalk's cravings, and nodded to Lacio.
"Hello, Your Excellency Ice Whisper Dry Bone, as a distinguished guest of the Black Dragon Clan, His Majesty Sinestra has ordered me to entrust this rebellion to you, from now on, Onexia is no longer a member of the Black Dragon, you can dispose of her at will!"
Lacio's words surprised Onexia again, the undead in front of him, who hadn't even touched the threshold of heroism, was so valued by Sinestra!
"Who the hell are you, undead?" Onexia asked, she had thought this undead was the illegitimate son of some undead emperor!
"This is the second time you've asked this question!" Yu Bin shook his head, whether it was Onexia or Nefarian, these dragons always had an inexplicable sense of superiority, and they didn't care about things that had nothing to do with them, and they always thought that all the problems in the world could be solved by powerful and incomparable power.
Simple and crude way of thinking!
Even Onexia, who is known for her insidiousness, can't escape this barrier!
"His Excellency Lacio has already said my name, but I'd like to introduce myself again!" Yu Bin walked up to Onexia and performed a popular chest stroking salute among human nobles, "The new owner of the Hero's Graveyard, the destroyer of the Silver Pine Forest, the death knight Ice Whisper Dry Bone, greetings to you!" ”
Onexia's pupils widened, "You're the Ice Whisper Dry Bone?" The Ice Whisper and Dry Bones that Dalaran called the Destroyer of All Things? ”
Yu Bin didn't know that he still had such a nickname, but it sounded very emotional, and he replied with a smile: "If you mean what happened in the Silver Pine Forest and the Whispering Forest, then I don't think there will be a second person with this name besides me!" ”
Finally knew who was plotting behind her own Onicia's face was frosty, if she was not familiar with the name Ice Whisper Dry Bone, then she had already heard of Yu Bin's other nicknames, and it was very interesting that the things about Yu Bin spread in the mouths of the NPCs in the Order Camp all highlighted the terrible conspiracy and calculation of this undead and ignored other aspects, This makes many NPCs who have only heard these things subconsciously think that this abominable undead is a necromancer who is obsessed with the power of death, and may even be a corpse witch or a lich, and would never think that this is an out-and-out death knight.
A Death Knight who is only good at frontal charges, killing every enemy with his brazen strength, is not synonymous with a conspiracy plan in their eyes.
Now that he knew who the undead in front of him was, Onexia's twisted intestines began to subconsciously plot a conspiracy again.
"Tell me, what are you trying to do when you brought me here?" Since Lasio didn't kill herself at the first time, but handed her over to Yu Bin, it means that there must be something in her body that this guy needs, whether it is her strong strength or the knowledge accumulated over tens of thousands of years, as long as she is still valuable, it means that she is still safe for the time being.
For her, the scary thing is not that the other party is playing any ghost idea, but that she is not qualified to let the other party fight ghost ideas, and being valuable means that there are new possibilities, which means that she still has a chance to rise again.
"Don't say it so badly, Your Highness the Princess! Although the way I invited you here was a little rougher, please believe my sincerity, I am not the kind of person who has no respect for the strong! ”
For the first time, Onexia felt that there was someone in this world who was more hypocritical than herself!
"Oh, sincerity? I don't see how sincere this is! Onexia held up her wrist, bound by elemental shackles, "Don't beat around the bush, say, what do you want from me?" Reputation? status? Strength? Or is it knowledge? ”
"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess, we have enough time to have a good talk! You don't have anywhere to go right now anyway, do you? Yu Bin turned around and walked to a table and motioned for the Black Dragon Princess to sit down, "It is impossible for you to live a stable life after being deprived of your dragon identity, even if you return to the lair of the Black Sea, Nefarian will find you soon, you should know that the best way for the Black Dragon Prince, who cannot defeat the Lord of Flames, is to devour your power and make yourself stronger!" ”
Onexia knew that Yu Bin was right, if it was possible for Nefarian in his heyday to defeat Ragnaros with the help of the Black Dragon Legion, then after a battle in the Chamber of Secrets, this possibility no longer existed, not to mention that there was a Void Dragon behind him, and the cautious Nefarian would never take this risk to fight to the death with the Lord of Flames.
"You don't have many options to resist the Nefarian threat!" Yu Bin walked around the table and affectionately put his hand on Onexia's shoulder, the fame of Countess Presto spread throughout the human world, but Yu Bin believed that he was one of the few people who could touch the other party's body so unscrupulously.
If the admirers of those countesses had known about it, there might have been some kind of riot!
Yu Bin didn't care, he gently rubbed Onexia's smooth skin with his hand, and said: "Fighting alone will only make death come faster, smart and wise like you, you will definitely not sit still, then the only way is to find a strong enough backer, unfortunately, there are not many people on this continent who can have the strength to compete with the Black Dragon Legion under Nefarian, and the biggest forces are naturally the two camps!" ”
Onexia's hands were clenched, her body tensed slightly, she knew that Yu Bin was right, in fact, after hearing Lacio announce that she had been removed from the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep, her first reaction was the same as what Yu Bin said, to find a suitable target in the two camps and take refuge in the past.
"Let me put myself in your shoes, first of all, the Order camp is definitely impossible, Marshal Wendsol's testimony will make you the public enemy of humanity, and the elves are even less likely to accept you as a black dragon, without the nod of these two pillars, it is obviously impossible for the other members of the Order camp to get into trouble to protect you, do you agree?"
Onexia nodded, and Yu Bin's words made her unable to refute at all.
"After the Orderly camp is eliminated, there will only be the chaotic camp, and I personally think it's a very good choice compared to those hypocrites. In this situation, you can't go to the dungeon, and the orcs and trolls can't even support themselves, let alone provide you with enough help, so in this way, only demons and undead are left! ”
Yu Bin's words were like the whispers of the devil, lingering in Onexia's ears, every word and sentence was irrefutable, forcing her to immerse herself in the other party's aura little by little.
"If you choose a demon, then you have to be prepared to die on the battlefield, those idiots who can even play their own brains when they are bored are now fighting in the Jeremanca Desert against the demigod-level Lord of the Yellow Sands, I believe you know better than me about this, it is said that a demon Lord has already died there, and another has escaped with serious injuries, right?"
Although I don't know how Yu Bin knew these confidential information, Onexia, who has been following this war, knows that Yu Bin's news is not wrong, in fact, the demons suffered greater losses in the Jeremanca Desert than rumored, which is also one of the reasons why the demon clan is willing to switch to the Orderly camp, and the Minotaur dares to break away from neutrality and take refuge in the Order, in their opinion, the demons, as one of the two pillars of the chaotic camp, have not recovered from the last camp war, and they have paid a heavy price in the Jerimanca Desert, No matter how you look at it, it means that the chaotic camp does not have enough strength to control the situation on the entire continent in a short period of time.
"You think, those demons themselves have fought so hard, once you take refuge in the past, do you think those demon lords will treat you as a guest of honor, and offer good wine and food?" Yu Bin lowered his head and said in Onexia's ear, the cold air exhaled from his mouth and the scorching heat in the cave were intertwined, making Onexia's earlobes couldn't help but burn slightly.
Seeing that Onexia responded with silence, Yu Bin was not angry, because this showed that the other party did not have the confidence to refute him.
"So, there's only one option left for you, and that's the undead!" Yu Bin withdrew his hands, and he had to master a degree of flirtation, he was not a pervert, in case he made Onexia angry, it would not be a good thing for his plan, "However, do you really think that those old immortals who have lived for tens of thousands of years will care about your life and death?" ”
Yu Bin's words made Onexia's heart tremble fiercely, although Yu Bin's words were only one sentence, but the deep meaning contained in them made her shudder. From the beginning to the present, Onexia has always been proud of being a pure-blooded dragon of the ancient race, which is also the main reason why she looks down on Sinestra, everyone is also noble, but because His Majesty Nesario has taken a fancy to that slut, she will be subservient to the other party, this jealousy and hatred is the main reason why she chose to betray Sinestra in the first place, not just because of Nefarian's demagogy.
But this kind of identity as an ancient species brings her glory at the same time, it also comes with great harm, those ancient undead who have survived for tens of thousands of years have long coveted their existence with ancient blood, the reason why they don't make a move, is precisely because of the existence of the powerful deterrent power of the Dragon Sleep Temple, the problem is that now she has been expelled from the dragon clan, and the Dragon Sleep Temple can no longer protect her, in the face of such a prey that can be slaughtered, what those old immortal undead will do is almost self-evident.
When the time comes, all Onexia can decide is whether to become a puppet dragon or become a lowly bone dragon!
Onexia, who wanted to understand this, turned her head, looked at Yu Bin with a smile on her face, and asked in a trembling voice that she didn't even notice: "According to what you say, is death my only ending?" ”
"It's up to you!"
"Huh, my choice? What else do I have to choose from? ”
"Of course, you can choose to work with us!" At this moment, Yu Bin finally revealed his true purpose.
Onexia sneered: "You? I admit that you are not small, but I don't think you can protect me from Nefarian's hands! ”
"No, no, you probably didn't hear me clearly!" Yu Bin shook his finger, "What I'm talking about is us!" ”
"You guys?"
"No, we! That's why I'm bringing you over! ”
"We? You mean, you join forces with me? Onexia's face showed a shocked expression, I don't know if it was because of Yu Bin's boldness or because of his self-inadequacy, a little undead who hadn't even touched the corners of his hero-level clothes, actually thought that he could be on an equal footing with himself!
Yu Bin smiled and sat opposite Onexia: "I believe this is a very good choice!" You need someone to help you fight Nefaryan, and I need the power you have, whether it's wealth, ability, or knowledge! ”
"Hahaha, are you kidding?" Onexia laughed wildly and said, "You think you can compete with the Black Dragon Legion? I can tell you that although Lacio is the commander of the Black Dragon Legion standing there, he can't even command a third of the Black Dragons, and the mighty Black Dragon Legion is firmly in Nefarian's hands, and you, a lowly and maggot-like undead, are ashamed to say that you can fight all this? ”
"Of course!" Yu Bin's face was full of confidence!
"What gave you such a fantastical confidence?"
Yu Bin pointed at Lacio and Sebrigalk, at La Suvios, and at Onyxia: "That's it!" I destroyed the Silver Pines Forest, I turned half of the barren land into a paradise of death, I made Dalaran have to swallow humiliation, and I even rescued the Black Dragon Queen Sinestra at the hands of the spider goddess Rose! And if that wasn't enough, then just a few hours ago, I let Nefarian go home, and just now, I had the noble Black Dragon Princess sit in front of me like a prisoner! ”
Yu Bin stood up suddenly, walked up to Onexia, grabbed the chin of the beautiful countess, and lifted it high, forcing the arrogant black dragon princess to show her slender neck: "It won't be long before the Black Dragon Legion you mentioned will suffer heavy losses in the Heart of Molten Fire, and this war I single-handedly provoked will prove who is the final winner!" Now, do you think I'm not qualified to talk to you about working with you, Onexia? ”
"You, what do you want me to do?" Taken away by Yu Bin's momentum, there was a rare panic in Onexia's eyes.
Yu Bin let go of the soft delicate spirit in his hand, and instantly returned to a calm expression, as if the anger just now had never appeared, he pointed to Prince Rasfil who was brought in by Banola: "It's very simple, continue to complete your plan to subvert the Armas Empire!" ”
