Chapter 50: Chapter 8: A Seemingly Simple Plan
In the deep underground dungeon, Karon, who never paid much attention to the concept of precise ti, had blurred his own sense of ti. However, the daily feeding schedule and the cheers from above the gladiatorial arena helped him grasp the passage of ti.
Half a month had already passed, and his sub-brain nodes had grown from one to six.
But the ti required for the latter nodes to develop grew longer, consuming most of the accumulated heart energy.
The nutrition in Karon’s body was also gradually falling behind, no longer as abundant as the food in the Dragon Nest Territory, with only the fixed ration of three als a day.
Now the Red Dragon’s body had beco a bit thinner, although its fra was still large, it was clearly a skinny dragon.
However, the dragon race does not advocate slimness as beauty, and Karon also prefers himself to be more mighty and robust. That way, he possesses greater deterrence and the beauty of strength.
Fortunately, the six sub-brain nodes that had fully developed and ford had connected to form a sub-brain node group, which was barely enough to take on the tasks Karon assigned to his sub-brain.
And the Pick Elf brought so good news to the Red Dragon.
"According to what you said, this Emperor of the Imperial is incredibly powerful, even the official apprentices accepted by advanced mages need to apply and report to the Imperial’s administrative departnt. Being a bit domineering is good."
The slit pupils of the Red Dragon flickered with lively flas in the shadow under its wings, it seed that the Emperor of the Imperial had an excessively strong desire for power, wanting to suppress all the forces within the Imperial.
"Except for the direct loyal nobles and mages to this emperor, most other nobles and mages belong to the Neutral Faction, this explains a lot, no one wants an unshakable iron curtain looming over their heads," the Red Dragon said while looking at the elf seated in his palm.
No wonder that squinting mage Hughes had once hinted that he could help Karon. It seems that the squinting mage was the eyes planted in the Loyal Faction by the Neutral Faction, and did not want the emperor’s power to grow further.
If the growing dragon group were successfully absorbed by the emperor, it would be a terrifying increase in power. So it seems, Will Clarence and his family should be loyal to the emperor’s faction.
The Red Dragon squinted its eyes, many things and opportunities needed to be observed through Hughes to beco apparent to him. Gently, he said, "You’ve worked hard, Riven, and I’ll need to trouble you to et with the high-tier student of that neutral mage and tell him I need to et with him, maybe there’s a deal he’d be very interested in."
"However, don’t go to him personally, just have soone else deliver the ssage."
"Okay, but I need to get a good nap first," the petite elf lay in the warm palm of the Red Dragon, let out a long yawn, and then gradually fell asleep.
The Red Dragon also habitually placed his broad hand flat on the ground, then selected a comfortable position with his head, resting it on his other claw, closed his eyes, and quietly fell asleep.
As Karon gnawed and swallowed the last bone of the whole pig delivered early today, the squinting mage already stood at the doorway of the dungeon, observing the Red Dragon’s every move.
"Long ti no see, Red Dragon. I knew you were a smart giant dragon," the squinting mage had an air of confidence, as though he held all the aces.
Karon squatted down, folded the wings covered with fine scale armor beside him, and with crimson pupils looked at the mage whose face always had a mysterious smile, sowhat displeasedly said, "Hey, mage, can you speak with your eyes open."
?
The squinting mage Hughes was instantly stunned, his eyes widening in surprise: "What the (bleep), are my eyes really that small?"
Karon did not answer the mage’s question, a trace of a smile flashed through the crimson slit pupils, then, with a serious tone, he shifted the topic, "Tell , mage, what ways do you have to help ."
Phew, Hughes let out a breath, habitually squinting again, and shook his head, "If you had agreed to cooperate earlier, we could have intercepted you in advance. As long as you voluntarily signed a contract with , even the Emperor of the Imperial would have to acknowledge this fact."
"But now the emperor has already taken control of the dragon group’s allegiance, he intends to ta you and that Red Dragon as his most powerful war tools to protect the royal war beast, even my teacher, the Holy Sanctuary Grandmaster mage, can’t retrieve your allegiance."
Karon was very aware of the mage’s plans, claiming to help, but in fact, wanted to subdue him, then use him to control the dragon group’s power.
However, upon hearing the emperor’s decision, he couldn’t help but surge with anger, a jet of fire spewing from the Red Dragon’s nostrils, his deep voice echoing down the empty corridor, "So mage, did you co here just to mock ?"
The squinting mage shook his head, "For balance, the Emperor of the Imperial allows the nobles to freely select the other juvenile dragons after their defeat, as long as they can sign a contract with the juvenile dragons, the Emperor of the Imperial will also recognize the juvenile dragons’ allegiance."
"I’ve co here this ti to persuade you to encourage the Blue Dragon and the Green Dragon to sign contracts with our faction of mages. We respect the opinions and rights of the giant dragons more than the Emperor of the Imperial, and the juvenile dragons will also gain corresponding freedom; we are the better choice."
"Heh, you cannot bring
any help, but dare to ask for mine?" The sparks from the Red Dragon’s breath beca even more intense, he stood up, his ferocious head stretching towards the iron door made of fine steel, staring straight at the mage,
"Are you willing to be suppressed by the emperor’s authority for so long? I’ve heard that you honorable mages have to report a large magic experint to the Imperial’s related administrative departnts."
The squinting mage maintained a smile on his face, spreading his hands nonchalantly, "What can we do? The Emperor of the Imperial not only possesses supre strength himself but also has the support of countless nobles and legion warriors."
"We mages just prefer to research so magic, it doesn’t matter whether we’re suppressed or not, after all, we’re not those nobles who prioritize power over life."
Karon smirked inwardly, because every mage required resources beyond calculation. Not to ntion those fearso magic materials, rely the magic potions and various magic gem crystals that assisted in a mage’s cultivation were sothing that a smaller noble could hardly afford.
Not to ntion these high-tier mages, behind each mage, there must be one or more nobles supporting, able to afford the consumption of a mage. It appeared that neutral mages and neutral nobility might still be a bit unclear about the situation from within, but from the outside, he was not confused.
The pursuit of interests is sothing that cannot be changed by anything, the Red Dragon’s voice lowered, imbued with a tempting strength, revealing the massive white fangs of the giant dragon,
"What if, I an if, one day the dragon group accidentally escaped and unintentionally slaughtered all those loyal to the Emperor of the Imperial nobles, what kind of accident would that be?"
The smile on the squinting mage’s face finally disappeared, taking in a cool breath, "Red Dragon, this might be an idea, but I cannot call the shots on this matter. I need to go back. Perhaps next ti I return, I’ll bring the news you’ve been expecting."
