Chapter 29: Closed Meetings (I)

All eyes in the hall were on the entrance, only to see a young man rush into the hall in a panic, and pounce on the Speaker Seyfrith.

Seyfrith's face sank, and he rebuked: "What's the panic, it's not like a dragon at all." ”

The man nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." ”

"Tell me, what's wrong?" asked Seyfrith, frowning.

"I ...... We...... Catch a few...... A couple of Shark Dragon guys. The man stammered a little when he spoke in a hurry: "...... altogether There were 3 of them, and they brought a lot of sulfur. ”

"Shark Dragons?" Seyfrith wondered how he could suddenly catch a few Shark Dragons, and they were also carrying brimstone. Seyfrith continued, "Where did you catch it?"

"It's on the border of our dragon territory, we were patrolling, and we happened to meet these guys from the Shark Dragon Clan, I saw that they were sneaky, so I captured them. The man replied.

Hearing this, Seyfrith secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was on the border, if it was captured by breaking into the territory of the Shark Dragon Clan, it was likely to cause a conflict between the two sides. However, Severis still felt a little strange, generally speaking, the Shark Dragon Clan would not dare to provoke the Dragon Clan easily, why did he dare to pass through the border of the Dragon Clan's territory this time, but since he was caught, he had to take a look to understand the reason.

Seyfrith looked left and right at the councillors, and when he saw that everyone had a look on their faces, he commanded the man, "All right, bring them in." ”

After a while, several hardcover dragon men slowly came to the front of the councillors with a few shark dragons, and several shark dragons drooped their heads and looked very depressed. The dragons in the hall began to coax when they saw a few shark dragons hanging their heads, laughter and whistles were endless, if there was something to throw in their hands, I am afraid that a few shark dragons have been stoned to death now.

Seyfrith tapped the table with a hammer and motioned for everyone to be quiet. Only then did Severis ask, "Why did you break into the territory of the dragons, and what do you want to do?"

Everyone fell silent, waiting for the dragons' answers. The three shark dragons exchanged glances with each other, and one of them spoke, "We are in charge of transporting the sulfur, we are just passing by, and we have not broken into the territory of the dragon clan. ”

"Stinky shark dragon, dare to quibble, kill them!" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Quiet, quiet!" Severis said loudly, cursing in his heart, "These guys are getting more and more uneducated, and the education level of the dragons is really worrying......"

"What are you going to do with the brimstone?" asked Catherine, who had been sitting in the seat of the council without opening her mouth.

The three shark dragons showed a panicked look in their eyes, looked at each other but none of them spoke, and lowered their heads one after another. When everyone saw that the three shark dragons clearly had ghosts in their hearts, they shouted and cursed one after another: "Say it quickly, or I will kill you!"

"Low-level creatures, don't you tell you honestly when you get here, don't you think your life is too long?"

The three shark dragons buried their heads lower, and they refused to open their mouths even if they were killed. The shouting and scolding in the auditorium became even more violent, and the whole hall was noisy, with Speaker Seyfris frowning and the parliamentarians looking cold. Finally, one of the shark dragons seemed to be unable to stand the pressure, raised his head and looked at Severis and said: "It's not that we don't want to say it, it's just that it's a dead end if we don't say it, unless we ......" He didn't say everything, but the meaning was very clear, that is, to agree to their conditions.

Seyfrith saw that there was such a quarrel in the hall, even if it was impossible to negotiate conditions, some things could not be put on the table. Seyfrith thought for a moment and said to the councillors, "I think it's better to keep the door behind closed doors, what do you think?"

Seyfrith proposed a closed-door meeting, and the lawmakers all nodded in agreement, except for Kaysved, who did not say anything, but looked with his eyes at Samhain, who was still on the bench. Seyfrith understood what he meant, and said, "Let's meet another day about Savin Bennett." Now that the Council is going to hold a closed-door meeting, please withdraw from the auditorium for the time being!"

Algron was visibly dissatisfied, and snorted softly through his nose.

The council hall was quickly emptied, and the guards did not allow anyone to enter or leave, leaving the empty hall with only a group of council members and a three-headed mermaid.

"Alright, now you can talk. Seyfrith said.

A shark dragon looked up and said, "Please grant us a request, otherwise we won't dare to say it if we are killed." ”

Feeling that he was about to lose his patience, Seyfrith frowned and said, "Do you think you have a lot of bargaining chips?

"Our little life is naturally not worth much, but what we know is enough to exchange for the survival of the entire dragon clan, I don't know if this kind of bargaining chip is enough to talk to adults?" said the shark dragon with a confident look.

The councillors present couldn't help but have a look of displeasure on their faces when they heard the shark dragon in such a smooth tone, and everyone thought: "When did these low-level creatures become so oily, and they could still bargain without changing their faces in the face of the dragon clan's council, they really don't take the dragon clan seriously......"

Seysfris didn't want to be alone by this black cauldron, he looked left and right, and saw that everyone had no objection, so he said, "Okay, you talk about your conditions first." ”

The shark dragon smiled flatteringly: "Hehe, our conditions are actually very simple, I hope the adults can guarantee our safety, otherwise we will not escape death wherever we go, only the great dragon clan can protect us, please let us live in the territory of the dragon clan." ”

"This ......" Seyfrith hesitated a little, in fact, this condition is really nothing, but he is afraid that other dragon clan members will have a whisper, he cherishes his feathers and does not want to hear any unfavorable comments about himself.

"I don't think it's a big problem, I can promise them. Catherine spoke.

"I'm against it!" Loggo retorted, "How can the dragon territory allow these inferior creatures to live here, and the other dragon clan members will not agree!"

"I didn't say that they could be allowed to live freely in the dragon territory, as long as they were put under house arrest, no one else would be able to say anything, what do you think, Lord?" said Catherine.

Catherine's proposal made it impossible for Loggo to refute it for a while, and when Seyfrith saw that the crowd no longer objected, he promised: "Yes, I can agree to your terms, but you have also heard that it must be done in our way." ”

The three-headed shark dragon nodded again and again: "No problem, no problem, as long as we stay in the territory of the dragon clan, there is no problem with the rest." ”

"Tell me, you stinky sharks!" Logo shouted at the dragons as he had nowhere to vent his anger.

"Actually, we sent this brimstone to the merfolk. One of the shark dragons said.

"What?" exclaimed everyone in the room, in astonishment.

"When did the Shark Dragon Clan hook up with the Mermaid Clan? Tell me, what do the Merfolk want all this sulfur for?"

The councillors asked in a rambling manner, and a few sharks looked around and didn't know whose question to answer first. Seyfrith made a downward motion with both hands to calm everyone down, and then continued, "What do you want Brimstone to do first?"

"Ah, that's right, we Shark Dragon Clan and Merfolk Clan have become partners, and the Merfolk Clan help us refine medicines. The shark dragon said.

"What kind of medicine are you making?" asked Seyfrith, leaning forward and taking a closer step.

"I don't know much about this, after all, we only transport sulfur, and the specific situation is only known to the adults at the top. But I've heard adults say that dragons can be easily defeated as long as the medicine is made. The tone of the shark dragon's voice was quite smug.

"I think you're bragging, you can defeat the dragons with medicine, isn't this a big joke, is it so easy for us dragons to get rid of?" Alglon sneered.

"It's not clear about this little one. The shark dragon lowered his head and said.

"Speaker, councillors, I think it's a waste of time to talk to these low-level creatures, just kill them and throw them away. Loggo said, standing up.

"Big ...... Your Excellency, you promised us. The sharks said nervously.

At this point, Catherine interjected and asked, "When did you start, and who taught you how to refine sulfur?"

Catherine's question immediately attracted everyone's attention, and no one paid attention to Loggo's clamor anymore, and they all refocused their eyes on the shark dragons.

"This ...... This ......" The three-headed shark dragon began to make a gesture of wanting to speak again, as if it had some scruples.

Logo slapped the table heavily and said viciously, "Don't say that I killed you again!"

One of the shark dragons was so frightened by him that he rolled his eyes and fainted, and the other two shark dragons were also frightened like chaff, and their eyes were full of infinite fear.

"If you tell the truth, I will guarantee your safety, don't be afraid, as long as you speak ......," Seyfrith took the opportunity to persuade him.

"Good...... All right. The mermaid finally said with difficulty: "It's humans, a few humans have come to our territory and said that they can help us and refine medicines for us, and there are also humans on the merfolk side who help make medicines, and we often see them when we send Brimstone there." ”

"How can humans live at the bottom of the sea, you don't talk nonsense!"

"They were all hiding in a big bubble, and they didn't know what the spell was......" the mermaid said resignedly.

"It could be some kind of magic. A councillor said.

"Why do humans help you, and what benefits have you given them?" asked Catherine again.

"We don't know about this, it's all high-level business. The mermaid shook his head and replied.

The councillors asked a few more questions, and seeing that these sharks really didn't know more, they asked the guards to escort them away and take them into custody for the time being.

Seyfrith asked worriedly, "What do you think about this?"
