Chapter 241: The Red Dragon's Guardian Contract (2)
Ryan knows. Because the lifespan of an individual is only 100 years, if we want to pass on the history of thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, we can only put it into books. It's a pity that even now, there are still very few people who can really learn the language in a proper manner, and it often becomes the privilege of the aristocracy, but most of the nobles are more content with pleasure and don't take these things to heart at all. Coupled with the repeated conquests and battles between human beings for countless years, there are many people who break the country and slaughter the city, and many books that record history have long been wiped out in the fire of the slaughter.
At best, Ryan is familiar with some of the events of the time of King Alexander Andrew, which is only a few hundred years ago, and there is no comparison with the experience of the adult dragon who is more than 5,000 years old in front of him. So Ryan straightened his chest with interest, and listened intently as the sloppy old man told the history of the past.
"We dragons have a strong lifespan and can be considered the strongest creatures in this plane. However, we also have a lot of shortcomings, such as our strength can usually only increase according to age, and although the actual combat aspect can provide some experience, but the effect is minimal. Listening to what the sloppy old man said, Ryan smiled slightly in his heart, knowing that this was the other party making excuses for his poor performance during the day today, but he pretended to be completely unaware and continued to listen.
"In order to change this passive situation of getting older and stronger, we dragon clan can be said to have spared no effort, and in the end, we did find many ways, such as the guardian contract. The sloppy old man said slowly: "Human talents are mediocre, almost the worst of all races in this plane, their strength is not as good as dwarves, their dexterity is not as good as that of elves, their physical strength is not as good as that of orcs, and even their wisdom is not particularly outstanding, but human beings also have their biggest advantage, that is, their unparalleled learning ability." ”
"Although humans do not have their own advantages, they can learn from the advantages of other races, the powerful lizardmen, trolls, and Karp tribes...... These races have ruled this continent for a long time longer than I have lived, but now? Have you heard of them? In turn, ordinary humans have become dominant, and the elves have even made an alliance with you. Ryan, do you know that when the elves and dwarves joined forces to rule the continent, you humans, hehe......"
The sloppy old man didn't continue, but what he didn't mean was clear, and he didn't need to say it explicitly. Seeing that his companion stopped because of his sighs, the dragon man dressed as a nobleman continued: "Okay, you have a lot of nonsense, let's go straight to the topic." Well, to put it simply, in order to improve our own strength, we dragons have come up with a way, that is, to reach a guardian contract with humans with enough strength. This contract allows us to share our combat experience with each other, which is very helpful for us to improve our strength as adult red dragons. However, the strength of the contractor must not be too bad, otherwise it will be meaningless to us. ”
"As long as our dragon clan is not short-lived, we can casually live for thousands of years to advance to the legendary realm in the state of a dragon. But if you want to do this in human form, I'm afraid you won't be able to find one out of a hundred. In order to experience the combat skills in human form, we signed a guardianship contract with a human powerhouse, and then felt the strength of the human contract signatory, so as to help ourselves. It's a win-win contract that benefits both parties. ”
"Although the three of us made a bet with Galib during the day, but after Ryan and your shot, we found that this bet does not need to exist, the three of us can only be regarded as young people in the dragon clan, and there is still a lot of time to consume, but we don't want to squat on Dragon Island for thousands of years without doing anything, so we decided to sign a guardianship contract with you, as long as it is the candidate you propose, and the strength of this candidate has stepped into the legendary realm. The man dressed as an aristocrat spoke directly about his plan.
"Is this what the three of you have in common?" Ryan chuckled inwardly, knowing that Galib's plan had taken effect, but when it came to the end, he still remained unhurried and did not show his true thoughts.
"Yes. The three dragon men stared at each other again, then nodded together.
"I'm afraid I can't promise you. In the eyes of the three dragon men, Ryan would definitely be eager to agree, but who knew that Ryan spread his hands and refused: "Maybe you are going to be disappointed, the preconditions of this guardian contract do not exist." ”
"What do you mean?" asked the sloppy old man.
"It's very simple, everyone, you ask to sign this contract with the legendary powerhouse, but I ask you, your own strength is only like that, for such a contract signatory, what kind of benefits can the legendary powerhouse in the human race get?" Ryan said with a smile: "As long as it is not a power contract, the vested interests of both parties should be guaranteed." Now your demands can only guarantee your own gains, for us...... Useless. ”
The three dragon men collectively spoke, Ryan's words were very reasonable, who would sign such a contract if there was no benefit? The strength of the three adult dragons may not win Allendo alone, let alone Ryan. The guardian contract, as the name suggests, is that the dragon contract signator guards the human contract signer, but now with the strength of the three dragon men in front of him, it is impossible to talk about guarding strong people like Ryan and Allendo, if Ryan and they really sign such a contract, not only is it useless, but they also have to bear the obligations in the contract in vain.
"So, what are your terms?" said Serraokams bluntly, "as long as it's not too excessive, we can all agree." The three of us are tired of that step-by-step approach, and we're going crazy about the old dragon life, if we can...... We do whatever it takes!"
The sloppy old man and the aristocratic man frowned in unison, because Serra Okams's words were completely inconsistent with the negotiation skills, and this was simply a matter of no resistance, and if Ryan and them made harsh demands on this, it would naturally damage their interests. However, Serraokams's move seems to be reckless, but in fact, it is the most correct choice, because if Ryan's character has to be careful, he is afraid that they will suffer more, and now that Serraoccamus is putting on a look like you are doing it, Ryan is not too embarrassed to take advantage of them too much.
"The contract is signed on a one-to-one basis, right? The three signatories on the human side can't be in the Legendary Realm, but I can guarantee one thing, that is, the person we provide is the most promising among the human beings to be promoted to the Legendary Powerhouse in the future. Ryan put forward his own requirements, which is actually his bottom line: "Maybe their current strength does not make you excited, but their future growth days are definitely your most valuable wealth." As you yourselves say, you can find what you want most from the human contractors. ”
Perhaps it was Ryan's last words that moved the three dragon men, and they made up their minds and agreed to Ryan's request. Ryan was also relieved in his heart, with the real assistance of these three dragon men, even if Ryan left Cassano for a long time, he didn't have to worry too much about anything, what he had to do now was to decide on those three candidates as soon as possible, and then let them fully run in in the shortest possible time. Of course, while accomplishing this, Ryan also had to do another thing that was crucial to him, and that was to help Faras become a legend. Ryan himself had already made a decision in his heart about this matter, but in order to ensure the feasibility, Ryan still took Faras back to Cassano, and he hoped to be able to argue with Mr. Galib again to ensure that Faras could advance smoothly.
"Alright, let's take our leave, you can get the list down as soon as possible. The three dragon men said a few more words and left.
When Ryan and Alendor were the only ones left in the study, Elendor looked at Ryan and asked, "Do you have a choice?"
Ryan shook his head and said: "No, I don't want to interfere in the fate of others, maybe the guardian contract can allow him to take a little shortcut on the road of pursuing power, but this kind of thing must have its own shortcomings, how to weigh the pros and cons, I don't count, it is still subject to the wishes of the parties." ”
"And what about your plans?" asked Alendor again.
"If I can, I certainly want to strengthen Cassano's weakness at the moment. Barbara is in charge of the magic legion, her strength and age are big problems, it's good to have me in charge, if I leave......" Ryan continued: "Vivien and Adela signed a soul contract with me, I guess there is no way to sign this guardian contract anymore, as for Sophie and Bud, as well as Letoz and Roger, they ...... I'm afraid that it will be difficult for them to make a big breakthrough in their strength. Well, if I could, I'd like to see one of the elves choose to do the same. ”
"Elf?" Alendor stopped talking, because he had already guessed Ryan's intentions, if the three candidates all strengthened Cassano, then the imperial capital might have some ideas, after all, if you sign a guardian contract, you will have a higher possibility of being promoted to a legend, who will let the person who signed this contract have a dragon guardian to protect it?
"Serres?" said Allendo, by name.
"Yes, if he wants to. Ryan smiled and nodded.
"And the third one?" asked Allendo again.
