Chapter 846 - Lacking
"Let's move on to your first request."
The mont Theo heard it, his expression beca grim as he fearlessly stated, "I would like to ask for your cooperation."
"My cooperation?"
"Yes. I want to go sowhere else, but my ability is limited."
The dragon fell silent for a mont and understood the aning. "Do you want to go to another dinsional gap?"
"Dinsional gap? Is that the na for the teleportation circle?"
"Yes. For what reason do you wish to go to another dinsional gap through this place?" The dragon asked. It was clear that Theo wasn't supposed to travel through this place, so the dragon couldn't help but suspect that he wanted to do sothing big. He didn't want to ddle too much with human business.
"I…" Theo hesitated for a mont and said, "Tactical retreat."
"I see. Fleeing from your country." The dragon looked at the surroundings first before saying, "I suppose you want to carry you to another place. Is it possible to know the na of that place?"
"I don't know the actual na to be honest."
"Just tell the na of the country. I know about their dinsional gaps."
"The United States."
"Oh…" The dragon closed his eyes, falling into deep thought. "I can agree to it but with two conditions."
"Two conditions?"
"Yes. First, only you and the rabbit child can ride on my back. Second, you need to prove you are worthy of my help. I know Leonardo as well as his power. If you say that you don't even have the ability to resist, the enemies should be either stronger or more in quantity.
"I assu it's the latter. In other words, there will be multiple people that will chase after you, presumably Mythical Rank Experts. So, I want you to prove to that you can get away from them. Only then will I help you."
Theo opened his mouth in surprise. "That…"
Even the first condition alone was already hard to et. After all, this ant he needed to leave Agata behind.
Agata had been doing her best for him, yet, he couldn't do anything back.
"Child. I need to tell you one thing. If you don't like the condition you get now, you need strength. Without it, you won't be able to do anything.
"If you are strong enough, you can make cooperate with you easily or even force to beco your mount. However, you don't have that strength. Even with altering the trials, this is the limit of my cooperation.
"It's true that you're smart enough to fool multiple enemies, but without possessing any strength, you will always be looked down upon.
"For , there are five important things to have: Abilities, Connections, Experience, Tools, and Wits. You have Experience, Tools, and Wits right now. If you have enough connections, you will surely be able to handle anything you have… Even threatening with a few Leonardo. As for your abilities… It's good for soone at your level, but not enough.
"That's why I still don't see you as a strong man in my eyes. You are still lacking two of them." The dragon shook his head. "Those two conditions… Whether you want to accept it or not, it's up to you."
Theo looked down as his heart couldn't choose this.
"I know that you are not ready to answer this question. Hence, tell the ti and the promised place. I will be there to witness your resolve and see whether you are qualified or not."
Gritting his teeth, he said, "40 days, in the Dark Poison Swamp."
He knew that he couldn't rely on the Wind Emperor in this matter, especially when he had been scrutinized for helping him not long ago. So, the dragon was the only one he could ask for help.
The only thing he needed to think about now was how to break the news to Agata.
The dragon was right. Without external help, he wouldn't be able to handle even one Mythical Rank Expert. Even though there was an option in relying on others, the favor he owed them would be too big, and it would haunt him in the near future.
And there wouldn't be a need for external help if he was actually stronger. Theo learned his current weakness from reality.
At the sa ti, he knew that the dragon would intrude on others' territories. If it was only a King Class Monster, the dragon shouldn't be afraid. However, it would be a different case if the other party was a World Class Monster.
That was why the dragon had also sacrificed so much. Although it was easy for him to bring one more person, no one could say otherwise since he could retract that offer altogether.
Just like he said, if he could beat the dragon, it was possible to make the dragon his mouth and transport all of them.
Clenching his hands, Theo looked at the dragon. "In 40 days. I will show you my answer."
The dragon nodded with a calm expression. "That shall be the agreent between us."
Theo closed his eyes and let out a sigh, disappointed with the result. But this was the only thing he could do in order to deal with the Barbe Group and the Griffith Family without selling his future to anyone else.
"Thank you for making realize how worthless I am." Theo glared at the dragon. There was anger reflected in his eyes, but it wasn't directed to the dragon. He was angry at himself for not being able to get a better result.
"I didn't do anything. I simply stated my own conditions." The dragon shook his head. "Without strength, your life will only be controlled by others. The people around you will be at the rcy of your enemies."
Theo closed his eyes and cald his heart down.
Seeing Theo's expression, the dragon smiled and said, "Alright. Now that we are done with the agreent. Let's continue with the guidance. You are here to know how to get an Order, right?"
"Yes."
"Then, let tell you."
