Chapter 8: Negotiation!
"Huh? You actually speak the lingua franca? Vermes looked surprised.
Although she was imprisoned at the lowest level of the Mage Tower as soon as she passed through the portal, she also realized that this was not the Faren she was familiar with.
It's a completely different world of magic.
In particular, the existence of the magic net is not felt at all in the nearby environment, which is simply the best proof.
And the red dragon once tried to intimidate and threaten the apprentices who took blood from him, but found that the other party did not understand the lingua franca at all.
The apprentices speak a very different language than each other.
Of course, this is not something to be fuss about for Faeron, who is connected to the multiverse.
After all, in the Forgotten Realm, there are intelligent beings who travel to other worlds almost every day for various reasons and accidents, either actively or passively.
Similarly, there will be many creatures from other worlds that have crossed over to Faeron.
Some powerful spellcasters will even maintain close contact with powerful spellcasters in other magical worlds.
But now, suddenly, hearing the clear-cut lingua franca of the Faeron Continent coming out of the mouth of a boy from another world, Vermes began to feel that something was not right.
But Zuo Si obviously didn't intend to waste his precious time answering these inconsequential questions.
He gave a casual explanation, and then began to describe the situation of the entire Mage Tower and even the Floating City outside before and after the outbreak of the plague.
It's just that Zuo Si secretly hid that he was the source of this plague.
When the red dragon heard the disappearance of the necromancer who had attacked and imprisoned him, and the death of the apprentices who had taken the dragon's blood from him and offended his majesty, he couldn't help but burst into a burst of laughter.
"Hahahaha! Well dead! It's really cheap for them! ”
"yes, that's cheap."
Zuo Si pretended to be convinced and nodded.
Although the huge beast was restrained at the moment, he was very careful to keep a safe distance, and he didn't dare to get too close.
The devil knows if the red dragon will suddenly attack, opening its mouth and spewing out a deadly cone-shaped breath of flame.
You must know that the breath of an adult red dragon can easily melt most metals and even rocks, and even directly destroy magical items.
But Vermeslu didn't care.
With a proud and conceited personality, she has long been accustomed to the fear and awe that mortals show to her.
What's more, there is still a "little bit" in front of him who has not yet reached adulthood.
However, she apparently ignored the two corpse creatures near the entrance that had been killed by the "little one".
Zuo Si may not be strong, not comparable to a necromancer like Asta, but he is definitely not a weak person either.
Not many apprentices in the tower, at least, would dare to despise the strange inventions, magical artifacts, and potions he carried with him.
I saw that the female red dragon stared at two lava ball-like eyes, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and ordered in a playful and arrogant tone: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and untie the magical shackles that have been blessed on me! The great Vermes, after regaining his freedom, may consider sparing your life and graciously allowing you to be my slave or servant. ”
With the last word falling!
An overwhelming and astonishing momentum was released from the red dragon's body.
Zuo Si only felt that the muscles in his whole body were uncontrollably tense and stiff, as if he had been cast a fixation spell, and even his breathing stopped.
Fortunately!
This state of shock did not last long, and he broke free with his willpower, and a trace of intense vigilance and jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Zuo Si wasn't sure if the terrifying momentum just now was the legendary "Dragon Might" or some other natural magic and ability.
Know that in the Forgotten Realms, all true dragons are born spellcasters.
They are like warlocks, they don't need to learn at all, and they can master many high-level spells that mages envy and hate.
In particular, an adult red dragon is equivalent to a LV7 warlock when casting a talent spell.
Many spellcasters have worked hard all their lives and may not reach this level until they die.
Realizing that this "negotiation" might be more troublesome than he expected, Zuo Si immediately took a deep breath, forced himself to remain calm and reasonable, and bowed again.
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness. It is an honor for a small mortal like me to be able to serve such a great being as you. Until then, though, I would like to be able to enter into a binding magical contract for the benefit of both parties. After all, only we can work together to take out the troublesome guards on the way to the upper echelons. ”
"Magical pact?"
A surprised look appeared on Vermes' face.
She really didn't expect that this "little bit" in front of her could come up with such a good thing.
After all, if you want a powerful red dragon with a chaotic nature to abide by the agreement, it is definitely not something that ordinary magic contracts can do.
"That's right. I have written all the terms in advance. All you need to do is make a declaration of consent and the deed will take effect immediately. ”
As he spoke, Zuo Si took out a scroll made of unknown leather from his satchel.
Unlike those magic scrolls that were no more than two or three years in the making, this pale yellow scroll was clearly quite old.
When it spreads out, it instantly displays a terrifying large blood-red mystical symbol.
Anyone who sees these symbols will immediately translate them into words that they are most familiar with and understand.
Vermes only glanced twice, and immediately understood that if he signed a contract and then violated any of the terms, the terrible curse contained on the scroll would take effect.
At that time, all the treasures in her lair will be randomly teleported to an unknown place in an instant.
For a red dragon who is greedy and values money as his life, this price is absolutely unbearable.
So one second Vermes's triumphant face was replaced by anger and rage the next.
She opened her large, fanged mouth and spewed sparks out of her nostrils and throat as she threatened, "Damn little bugs! How dare you negotiate terms with the great Vermes! I command you to untie your magic at once! Otherwise, the moment I regain my freedom will be your death! ”
The voice has not fallen!
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang and violent shaking from the upper floors of the tower.
At the same time, the flickering flickering circles of restraint on the ground suddenly became a little dimmer.
Not good!
Zuo Si suddenly chuckled in his heart.
He understands that this is a sign of excessive energy consumption.
The continuous onslaught of those undead creatures outside is depleting the reserves of the mage tower at an extremely fast rate.
So much so that they had to start reducing the supply of magical energy that maintained the binding circle in order to convert it into offensive spells that killed and repelled undead creatures that tried to rush in.
The red dragon undoubtedly sensed that the restraints on his body were weakening, and slowly fought from the ground, his eyes flashing like a cat and mouse.
"Ahh Looks like I don't need you anymore, doesn't I?
You mentioned that the hordes of undead creatures outside the area will quickly deplete the energy of the mage tower.
At that time, there will be nothing that will stop the great Vermes from destroying everything.
Whether it is this tower, or the entire floating city, it will become the property of the great Vermes.
As for you, insidious and cunning little thing.
I will make you taste the most painful and desperate way to die......"
