Chapter 73: Roy's Surrender (4k)
Roy came to the black dragon with a nervous mood, and after taking a deep breath, he bent over and said respectfully,
"Greetings from Roy Silland, the Great Queen of Darkness."
"Oh? Do you think I'm the Queen of Darkness? ”
The majestic black dragon in front of him opened his hideous dragon mouth and said in a playful tone.
Roy's face froze when he heard the deep voice full of male breath. In fact, when he approached the black dragon, he vaguely felt that the strange-looking black dragon in front of him was probably not the Queen of Darkness, after all, the Queen of Darkness knew that it was a female black dragon when she heard the name...
Although Roy is a mage and has a lot of knowledge, he is not a professional dragon scientist after all, and he can only rely on his previous research on some monsters to make judgments, and this judgment itself represents uncertainty and imprecision.
But now there was no need for him to guess and judge, because this unknown and special adult black dragon opened his mouth to speak, confirming his guess.
"Your Majesty the Black Dragon, forgive your offense, among the rumors of the outside world, this area is occupied by a female black dragon.... Now it seems that this is seriously misleading, and it is clear that the owner of this place is your noble crown! Roy's expression became extremely serious, and he was very angry at this bad rumor that slandered the great black dragon crown in front of him.
"Hahaha!"
It was Uddy's wild laughter.
It's so much fun. The attribute of improvisation, sure enough, it has to be a human to deduce the essence.
Roy, who stood beneath the monstrous dragon's mouth, seemed to be standing in the wind, his robe fluttering, and after feeling the long and terrifying aura of the giant beast up close, his waist bent lower.
"The breath produced by the breath alone is so powerful, it's terrifying... Can it only be said that it is worthy of an adult black dragon? Roy exclaimed in his heart.
In fact, if Roy used the identification technique on Udi, his face would definitely be wonderful. The giant beast in front of him, which was comparable in size to an adult black dragon, was nothing more than a ninth-level creature.
Identification is a spell-like ability that the black dragon awakens in the juvenile dragon stage, but this ability is not unique to the black dragon, and some races will also have this ability in their bloodlines. The inspiration for the creation of a spell often comes from the innate spell-like abilities of transcendent creatures, such as the Wind Wolf's Wind Blade Spell Ability, which corresponds to the spells, such as the One-Ring Spell, the Wind Blade, and the Three-Ring Spell, and the Multi-Wind Blade.
"Sure enough, I'm still very bluffing at my size." Udi caught a glimpse of Roy's increasingly clumsy figure, and was quite satisfied.
The prejudice in people's hearts is a big mountain.
The more you know, the stronger the constraints of ideas.
Because Roy knew the size of an adult black dragon, he didn't doubt his strength at all the moment he saw Udi, and directly identified him as an adult black dragon, a top-level creature in the food chain that had reached at least level fifteen!
Of course, Udi's strong dragon body expressiveness is also one thing, if he is just completely vain, with the strong spiritual perception of a high-level spellcaster, it is estimated that he can also detect the cat's tiredness and be suspicious of Udi.
The hardness of the scale armor, the vitality of flesh and blood, the biomagnetic field, the breath energy, etc., are not difficult for the strong to perceive. And although the strength of Udi's dragon body is still a long way from an adult black dragon, at least the gap will not be too outrageous.
And in this regard, Roy will only feel that Udi's ability to grasp and restrain his own breath is very strong, and he will not feel that Udi's dragon body strength is really at this level.
"The news you learned is correct, this place was originally the territory of the Queen of Darkness, but..."
"She's too weak, but she's only level sixteen, just an ordinary black dragon that has just come of age, I flew out of the depths of the dark forest, passed by here, and beat it with my hand, but the little girl's skin flew away crying and chirping."
??
Roy's head was full of question marks, his face changed several times to understand the information contained in this sentence, and then his waist bent lower.
At the same time, the mastery-level arbitrary spell that he had been silently pinching in his heart was directly canceled.
This was originally a life-saving spell that he thought would run away directly if he saw that the situation was wrong, but after he felt the cold warning from the tone of Udi's words just now, he struggled for a while, and still chose to give up.
Under the crown of this powerful black dragon, he must have sensed his hidden magic that was quietly running.
Out of consideration for the difference in strength between the two, Roy chose to follow the heart.
Udi naturally didn't perceive the hidden magic in Roy's body, he was just scaring the other party, it was best if it worked, and it didn't hurt if it didn't.
"Alright, let's get down to business, and tell us a little bit about your business of veins, slaves, and robbery." The black dragon, who was still showing a ferocious look on his face one moment, said in a flat tone the next moment.
After Roy silently sighed in his heart about the changes in the character of the evil dragon, he quickly spoke, this matter is one of the goals he wants to achieve at the risk of his life this time, and it has come to this point, even the escape spell has been canceled, and his life is completely in control of the claws of the black dragon crown in front of him, Roy is not as nervous as he was just now.
"The ore vein slaves robbed these three kinds of business, and let's talk about the ore veins first. The dark forest is vast, the elemental power is rich, there are definitely a lot of magic crystals, metals, gems and other rare ore veins here, as long as the black dragon crown is willing to send a large number of kobolds out to prospect, you will definitely be able to find a lot, and the raw ore mined by our Hygrindand family will be refined, reprocessed, and sold to the outside world to make huge profits.
As for the slave business, the Duchy of Kas is adjacent to the kingdom of Yarbit, and sometimes there are some small conflicts and wars, which also produces a large number of slaves, but the border between the two countries is patrolled day and night, and slave hunting activities are difficult to carry out. But if you can open a slave trade passage here in the dark forest.... Naturally, the wealth rolled into the pockets of the crown.
The last robbery business .... The Duchy of Cass and the Kingdom of Yalbit often have rich merchant teams crossing the border to sell all kinds of goods that other countries do not have, during this period, many people will choose to take the road close to the outskirts of the dark forest in order to avoid the army, if you can send your elite monster warriors to attack these rich merchant teams, you will definitely be able to make a big profit, and if you feel that these harvested goods are not needed, our Hygrindand family can sell them for you..."
After listening to Roy's explanation, Udi couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.
It has to be human.
It can't be said that Udi was once a human being, but his ideas are not so sophisticated, shrewd and scheming.
It can only be said that Roy is talented, a natural businessman, and his heart is ruthless enough.
Slave trade and robbery are not much lighter, if not even heavier, than the crimes of burning, killing and looting done by the evil dragons.
"You convinced me, but should you pay some price and chips for a business of this size?" Udi said in a flat tone, the huge hideous black dragon head overlooking Roy.
"The price...."Roy's eyes changed slightly, and he said respectfully, "Naturally, in order to show sincerity, our Heatgrinder family is willing to give up eighty percent of the benefits of these businesses!" ”
Hehe.
Udi snorted coldly, expressed his disdain, and said directly no longer hidden,
"Accept my contract, become my servant, and walk in the kingdom of mankind on my behalf!
And the benefit, this king can promise you, and then let the Hygrand family become the ruler of the Duchy of Cas! ”
"This..."Roy's face changed unpredictably, hesitating, moving, struggling, and finally suddenly gritted his teeth and knelt respectfully in front of Udi,
"Roy is willing to submit to the majestic dragon wings under the crown."
"Very good, your choice will make you feel fortunate for the rest of your life." Udi spoke indifferently, as if he didn't care about the allegiance of a high-level spellcaster.
The dragon scales that had grown off before flew out of the cracks between his scales, and with the dragon blood squeezed out, in the serious chanting of the dragon language, the dragon scale contract flew towards Roy, and finally slowly submerged into his forehead.
The power of the dragon veins began to generate within Roy's body, violently transforming his physical body.
But after all, it is a high-level spellcaster, although its body is much worse than that of a warrior class of the same level, but under the strengthening of decades of magic power, it has also reached the threshold of an intermediate professional, so the severe pain of the dragon vein's transformation of the flesh does not make Roy make a gaffe action, he just frowned, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After a few moments, the transformation was complete.
Uddy grinned as he felt an extra spiritual connection in his mind, and that he was able to take complete control of his life through this spiritual connection.
It was so easy to fool a high-level spellcaster into becoming a servant, and there was a whole family that had been in business for many years behind it.
The contacts, channels, resources, information, etc. represented behind it are intangible benefit outputs.
Even if it is not counted in the family power, just in itself, a high-level spellcaster is enough to make Udi feel sincerely excited.
The strength and means of the Fa Ye are not comparable to ordinary professionals. A tenth-level ordinary professional warrior who has just entered the advanced level, with Udi's current strength, bursts out with all his strength, and it is estimated that he can kill the other party with a single face, and the other party can't escape if he wants to.
But if you are a first-level tenth-level ordinary mage, regardless of whether you win or lose, as long as the other party masters a mastery-level teleportation spell, there is a high probability that Udi will not be able to keep the other party, unless the other party has not prepared a spell in advance, and Udi is not far from it, which still has the possibility of sneak attack and killing.
However, the existence that can grow into a high-level spellcaster is almost always a strong person who has been carefully screened, and it is a real strong person from the heart to the strength, and it is difficult to find the newcomer attribute of carelessly underestimating the enemy.
This is one of the two reasons why Uddy chose to fool Roy instead of using violence.
Another reason is that even if he uses violence to defeat the other party, it will also make him realize the true strength of Udi, a ninth-level allomorphic black dragon, although the strength is very strong, and the potential is also extraordinary, but if you want to make a high-level spellcaster surrender willingly, it is much more difficult than making him surrender to an adult black dragon.
This is a very realistic thing.
After all, potential is only potential, and it has not been exchanged for real strength, and sometimes not only can it not make people bow down and surrender, but it is easy to have different hearts.
An allomorphic dragon with extraordinary potential and not very powerful strength, how valuable is that?
Slavery, research, trafficking...
Just think about it, and it is estimated that there will be many beings who are ready to move.
After the initial transformation of the dragon vein was completed, Roy left the Black Blood Valley with the mission.
.....
"Although it is subject to the claws of a black dragon, in terms of results, this should be the best choice."
Walking out of the Black Blood Valley and feeling the power of the long dragon veins surging in his body, Roy had a look of excitement that could not be hidden, and the helpless expression of being forced to accept the family contract in the valley could not be found on his face at this moment.
His lifespan is not much left, and his potential is almost exhausted, and he can break through to a high-level spellcaster, but also with the help of foreign objects, not to mention being able to become a master-level spellcaster, even if he takes another step or two, reaching level eleven or twelve, whether he can succeed or not is unknown.
And now?
Having a powerful adult black dragon as a backer is one of them.
The increase in life brought about by the transformation of the dragon vein can allow Roy to live for at least one or two hundred more years, which is the second.
The increase in the qualification potential brought by the dragon vein makes it easier for Master Roy to break through the career level, which is the third!
Roy chose to take such a huge risk to talk to an adult black dragon about business, and told the huge benefits contained in it, which was intended to lead the black dragon to rely on and value him.
Only in this way can you increase your chips and let a proud adult black dragon sign a family contract with him!
In Roy's concept, with the arrogance and strength of an adult black dragon, although a beginner spellcaster will not be regarded as an ant-like role, he will not take it too seriously, so even if Roy takes the initiative to surrender, the adult black dragon will not necessarily take him under his command.
It is estimated that many adult black dragons are more willing to kill each other directly, eat the corpse, and then plunder the other party's wealth, which may be more convenient for them.
"There is also dragon blood, with the dragon blood given by the master, the overall strength of the family will quickly jump to a level!" Roy thought of the large bottles of dragon blood stored in the space bag, and his mood was even happier.
As for whether the aura and characteristics of the dragon's blood after the transformation will be exposed?
It doesn't matter, if it's exposed, it's exposed.
Because humans who have been transformed by dragon blood have other names among humans.
Dragon-blooded warrior, dragon-vein warlock.
Among human beings, many families and individuals have dragon blood, which is not unusual.
Some are bloodlines left behind by dragons, and some are bloodlines produced by dragon-slaying (both dragons and wurms).
Therefore, if it is exposed, no one will think that the Heatgrinder family has taken refuge in a black dragon, and will only envy and sigh that the Heatgrinder family's good luck has actually obtained dragon blood.
....
Black Blood Valley, Longtan.
Udi took the space bag containing the trading items from Caladan's hand, entered the magic power, took a look at the contents and put them aside, lowered his head and commanded Karadan,
"You'll be solely responsible for Roy's affairs in the future."
"Follow your orders." Caladan bent down respectfully.
"Alright, stand down."
"Yes."
Caladan retreated.
Udi looked at the departing Karadan, and the other party's message appeared in his eyes.
[Mage Level: Seventh-Rank High-Level] [Creature Level: Eighth-Rank Advanced]
"Are all creatures more than mage level?"
This is also understandable, driven by the feedback of the family contract and Caladan's own promotion, it is quite normal to surpass the mage level.
Increasing the caster's level requires a large increase in mental power, so the ascension is naturally slow.
