Chapter 441: Signing A New Treaty

[Platinum-tier item: the Blue Comet]

[Abilities: Comet Impact (summons a huge comet to fall and cause large-scale platinum rank damage), Pale Blue Flames (liquid flames that exceed the normal temperature of fire), Flame Barrier (raises a tall flame barrier to block platinum-tier attacks, and doubles the effect of fire-elemental attacks).]

[Additional Ability: Sky Orbit (creates an orbit made of flames in the sky, able to reach any location instantly).]

After the fusion was completed, the specific information of the platinum-tier item appeared before Watson’s eyes. He then handed the item back to Olena.

“Miss Olena, that is a platinum-tier weapon made from the item you just gave me. Do you like it?”

Olena received the fused platinum-tier earring from Watson. She looked a little shocked. She looked down at the earring, then looked up at Watson. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

It was not a matter of whether she liked it or not. She had never heard of any technology that could turn a gold-tier weapon among the dragons into a platinum-tier weapon.

The dragon race was powerful because of their long lifespan. Just like humans, most of the dragon race’s technology originated from ancient times and was left behind by the gods. Unlike humans, who changed their dynasty due to war and other factors that caused the loss of those old technologies. As the dragon race had a long history, it was not common for them to change. Therefore, most of the dragon race’s technologies were preserved well.

That made the understanding and manufacturing of weapons within the Dragon Clan far exceed that of humans. The Dragon Clan could create diamond-tier holy relics while humans could only create platinum-tier weapons.

The Dragon Clan’s technology far exceeded that of humans. That was a fact all dragons publicly acknowledged that. However, that idea broke in front of Watson’s platinum-tier items. The dragon race could fuse two low-tier items into a higher-tier item. That was no longer a forging technique but a miracle that was close to magic.

King Landhar noticed the expressions on Olena and the other dragons’ faces. He laughed. “Lady Fafnir, now you should know why there are countless powerful geniuses in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but I just had to name Watson as the number one genius.”

Fafnir nodded when she heard that. “With that technology, the strength of the Holy Dragon Kingdom can be raised to a higher level!” That kind of special creativity was not something that one or two powerful geniuses could compare to. That meant that the youth had become the strongest in the kingdom purely because of his technology.

From the moment she entered the capital, Fafnir had seen many shocking scenes. When she saw the skills Watson had mastered, her shock had reached its peak. In her opinion, regardless of whether it was powerful strength or precious items, they were not important. That was because no matter how powerful a genius was, they would age and die, and no matter how precious the items were, they would be damaged.

However, technology was different. As long as one had the talent to master technology, they would be able to create the first two continuously.

With that in mind, Fafnir could not help but think highly of Watson. Even if a low-tier human possessed such powerful technology, it was enough to earn the respect of the dragon race.

At that moment, King Landhar III said, “Lady Fafnir, you’re wrong. In fact, Watson became the kingdom’s strongest genius, not simply because of his technology, but because he defeated all the other geniuses in my competition. In other words, Watson not only has outstanding technical ability, but he also has unrivaled strength. ”

“It’s clear that the power contained within that youth’s body isn’t as strong as the other geniuses in the kingdom that I had sensed before. Just how did he defeat those people? However, putting all that aside, just because he possessed both technology and powerful strength, that still isn’t something that an ordinary person can do.”

“I’m afraid that I’ll have to rely on you,” Fafnir muttered in her heart. After taking a few deep breaths, she calmed her inner feelings. She raised her head to look at King Landhar III and asked, “You summoned me to the palace to show me this? You’re not just showing off to the Dragon Clan that a great genius has appeared in your Holy Dragon Kingdom, are you?”

“Of course, Fafnir. You and I are old acquaintances. I summoned you for one purpose only. I want to change the current situation with the Dragon Knights in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. You also know that there are only ten Dragon Knights in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. That is because the number of dragons provided by the Dragon Clan is too minimal. This is not because the Holy Dragon Kingdom is not strong enough. Therefore, I’ve thought about it recently and decided to expand the number of the Dragon Knights to a hundred!”

“Human King, what are you talking about? Does that mean you expect us to give you 100 dragons? The arrogance! The Dragon Clan is a race more noble and powerful than you humans. There are only a few thousand of us. Yet, you want to enslave 100 dragons? Aren’t you a little too greedy?” Rem sneered coldly.

Olena said, “Rem, don’t be anxious. The human king is not a stupid person. He must have his intentions for such a proposal. Perhaps he has already prepared a generous gift in exchange for the 90 extra dragons.”

“No matter how many gifts he gives, they can’t be compared to our dragons.”

When Rem said that, her gaze shifted to the platinum-tier earring in Olena’s hand. She hesitated for a moment. “But if the human king can teach us the technology to create platinum-tier weapons, I think we can still consider it.”

King Landhar III smiled and said, “I want a hundred Dragon Knights, and you must cooperate unconditionally. I will not give you any reward, and the dragons you provide must survive the Dragon Knight training.”

“King Landhar III, what do you mean?”

At that time, Fafnir could not hold it in any longer. Not only did she have to provide the dragons for free, but she must also ensure their survival. The human king was too arrogant. His attitude was as if he treated the dragons as fools. He did not care about their thoughts at all. Did he want to cancel the treaty he had signed with the dragons?

The smile on King Landhar III’s face grew wider. He said, “Just as Lady Fafnir thought, the purpose of my meeting with you is to rewrite the treaty between the Dragon Clan and the Holy Dragon Kingdom. The Holy Dragon Kingdom accepted ten dragons from the Dragon Clan in the previous treaty to nurture them. The Holy Dragon Kingdom bears all the expenses. Furthermore, the Holy Dragon Kingdom will have to pay hundreds of millions of gold coins if there are any losses incurred while we nurture the dragons.”

“That clause is not beneficial to the Holy Dragon Kingdom; we do not receive any benefit at all. On the contrary, the Dragon Clan does not need to do anything in food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. It’s like we’re spending a large amount of money every year to help the Dragon Clan nurture the clan’s younger generation.”

“So what? That treaty was set 100 years ago. Your ancestors were not dissatisfied with it, so why do you have so many complaints? Even if things are as you said, it’s already a great favor for you that the Dragon Clan is willing to support the Holy Dragon Kingdom and sign a treaty with you to form the Dragon Knights. Other kingdoms are begging us for the same treaty, and we have rejected every one of them. Why are you still upset?”

Rem expressed his dissatisfaction.

“I’ll correct your mistakes. Your previous kings signed a treaty with us because the humans did not have the strength to fight against us. Don’t tell me that humans now have the strength to fight against the Dragon Clan?”

“I don’t know about the other kingdoms, but at least the Holy Dragon Kingdom has a few geniuses who can fight against the Dragon King. With Watson’s advanced technology, my kingdom can mass-produce platinum-tier weapons and armor, and even the gods are on our side. With such a powerful force, I can create a platinum-tier army. I will not have to fear anyone, including the dragon race. ”

King Landhar III spoke with assurance, and his attitude was unyielding. The first thing he wanted to correct was the attitude of the dragon race; they were too arrogant!

“You’re bold, Human King! Do you want to start a war with the dragon race by saying those words?”

“Judging from the power I have now, it doesn’t matter even if I start a war with the dragon race.”

When he learned that the Severed Fingers Gang had killed a dragon to please Watson, King Landhar III already had that thought in his mind.

A dragon’s murder was not something the dragon race would let go of. Rather than waiting for the dragon race to question him and humbly give him compensation, he might as well be tougher. He might as well shed all pretense of cordiality with the dragon race and redraw the treaty with the dragon race. Under such circumstances, either the Dragon Clan would leave in a fit of anger and turn against the Holy Dragon Kingdom, or they would endure the fact that a dragon had been killed.

He was happy with either outcome. Just as he often said, everything was in his plan.

“Despicable Human King, how dare you say such words? You clearly don’t think much of us. Since that’s the case, I’ll now destroy the palace and the entire capital to avenge my dead dragon compatriots. I’ll let you see the consequences of being disrespectful to the dragons! ”

Rem roared. Petal-shaped scales appeared on her body, and the wings of a dragon spread across her back. She seemed to be on the verge of becoming a dragon.

However, at that moment, King Landhar III walked into the hall. He stretched his right hand in front of the three-meter-tall throne and gently knocked on the throne.

“Commandment!”

As he slowly uttered those two words, an invisible fluctuation suddenly burst from the throne. That fluctuation radiated in all directions, with King Landhar III’s body as the center. When it passed through Rem, who was in the process of dragonification, her body shook, and the reaction of dragonification completely disappeared.

Standing there in a daze, Rem looked at her hands in disbelief. ‘What’s going on? Why can’t I turn into a dragon? I feel that all the energy in my body seems to have disappeared.’

Olena and Fafnir showed similar expressions. They felt as if the power in their body seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force, and they could not use it at all.

“That power is the same as what I felt when I first entered the capital. I thought that that power originated from the second genius of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the girl named Nia, but now it seems that power is contained in the throne in front of me. Does that throne have a special ability to seal others’ strength?”

Fafnir looked at the huge throne in front of her. She could feel the fluctuation from the throne. Even if she was at the peak of diamond tier and her strength was comparable to starlight-tier, she could not exert even the slightest bit of it.

“Lady Fafnir, you saw through my meaning with a single glance! That’s right. Your abilities are sealed by this throne. The name of that throne is the God-king’s Throne of Commandment. Its ability is within the scope of my rule. As long as there is no permission from me, no one, not even gods, can exert their strength here.”

In other words, even if the Dragon Clan were to attack in full force within the Holy Dragon Kingdom, they would be killed! “Oh, right, I’ll tell you one more thing. Watson created that throne. Now, not only has he mastered the ability to create platinum-tier weapons and armor, but he can also create starlight-tier items. Just one item can make my kingdom as tough as an iron bucket. When we create more items, one can only imagine how powerful the Holy Dragon Kingdom will be.”

When King Landhar III opened his arms and said those words, Watson remained silent. The three dragons knew that King Landhar’s words were not groundless.

The three of them had lost their abilities. If King Landhar III wanted to make a move, he did not need to find a particularly powerful elite. He only needed to find a few ordinary guards to take them down.

“Lady Fafnir, I’ll repeat what I said just now. I want to sign a new treaty with the Dragon Clan! From now on, the Dragon Clan will provide 100 dragons for my kingdom, and you will also have to bear the full cost of the Dragon Knight training for those dragons. And we are not to be blamed for their deaths.

“Of course, I’m not an unreasonable person. I can promise to use platinum-tier armor and weapons made by Watson when training those dragons. I’m even willing to give stronger items to some of the dragons who have performed exceptionally well, including starlight-tier items! The props that those dragons carry will belong to them. The kingdom will not take them back. If you agree with me, Lady Fafnir, then let’s sign a new treaty.”

“I’ll need to think about that.”

When Fafnir showed a hesitant look, Rem said, “Lady Fafnir, what’s there to think about? We can’t agree to send more dragons to the Holy Dragon Kingdom for free. Furthermore, we have to bear all the expenses. In the end, we can only exchange for some items that we may not be able to get. That is a total loss for the Dragon Clan! If we agree to that, we will definitely become a joke for everyone else when we go back.”

In ancient times, the Dragon Clan was a powerful race that was second only to the gods. They were superior to humans and other races. Humans had always been respectful to the Dragon Clan. However, they had instead become the weaker side when faced with that human king. How could they tolerate that?

“Rem, my thoughts are quite different from yours. If King Landhar III can give us powerful items, as he said, it’s not impossible to provide more dragons for him. We can only get more items that way, right?”

Olena toyed with the platinum earring in her hand.

Rem glared at Olena fiercely and said, “You idiot! Since you want to get something from the humans so much, you might as well be their mount.”

“As long as they give me enough, it’s not impossible. If they want me to be their mount, they should at least give me a starlight-tier item.”

Olena was not angry after being reprimanded. Instead, her eyes were shining as she spoke.

Platinum-tier weapons were nothing more than toys to her. She was a little regretful because she had only given Watson two gold-tier peak earrings. If she had given Watson a diamond-tier item instead, she might have already obtained a starlight-tier artifact.

She would let him ride her like a pet if she could get a starlight-tier artifact out of that.

“Fafnir, you don’t have to worry about signing the treaty now. I’ll give you three days to think about it. You only need to give me an answer within three days.”

King Landhar III did not have any intention of forcing her. He smiled and said, “The banquet will begin soon. Let’s not talk about that for now. Let’s go to the banquet first. ”

As soon as his voice fell, he led them into the banquet hall that had already been prepared.

Two rows of chairs could be seen in the banquet hall. On the chairs were all kinds of rare delicacies, each served on a crystal-clear jade plate. Around the tables and chairs were handmaidens dressed in gorgeous clothes. They were walking around like butterflies, carrying trays filled with food and wine.

Kiana and the three princes had already put on their formal clothes and were waiting in the hall. When they saw King Landhar III, Kiana and the others bowed their heads and looked at Fafnir and the others curiously.

They had already heard that the honored guest invited by their father at that time was an elite from the Dragon Clan.

“It’s rare to see a member of the Dragon Clan. The last time we saw them was 100 years ago. Our ancestors signed a Dragon Knight Treaty with them. I wonder why they’re here now? But I must seize this opportunity.”

The First Prince reached out and touched the creases on his gown to flatten them. He looked faintly excited.

As the most capable heir to the throne in the future kingdom, he had to do whatever it took to rope in powerful forces. There was no doubt that there was nothing more powerful than the Dragon Clan. If he could get their support, his status in the kingdom would become even higher. Perhaps even his father would look up to him.

However, the Second Prince had a different thought.

‘I heard that the Dragon Knight Legion lost a huge dragon some time ago. Does their visit have something to do with that? If that’s the case, then that group of dragons might erupt and cause trouble later. I have to be careful to avoid being implicated! Speaking of which, if those dragons really dare to behave atrociously in the palace, then the kingdom will definitely break the treaty with them. That is actually a good thing for the kingdom. Because of the restrictions of the treaty, the kingdom could only have ten dragons. If the treaty is no longer viable, the kingdom can capture wild dragons wantonly, and there will be no limit to the Dragon Knights.’

The Third Prince was also thinking about something. However, he was not thinking about the Dragon Clan. Instead, he was staring at Watson.

‘D*mn that Watson! He already has my sister, Kiana, but he still seduces the girl from the Saint Laurent family. Kiana has been complaining to me about that for a long time. Later, I must find an opportunity to teach him a good lesson.’

While everyone had their own ulterior motives, King Landhar III walked to the head of the dining table. He did not sit down but waved his hand. Immediately, a few guards walked in from outside and carried the huge throne. It was placed at the head of the table.

After putting down the throne with great effort, the guards took a few steps backward. King Landhar III shook off the gorgeous robe on his body and sat on the throne. In an instant, the robe that was painted with the sun, the moon, and stars, as well as the dazzling crown, appeared on his body. Then, his figure blurred, leaving only a portion of his eyes that overlooked the world.

“Everyone, please take a seat.”

A dull voice echoed in the hall. King Landhar III’s voice was like the command of a god, making it impossible for anyone to refuse. Following his voice, everyone sat at the banquet table. The princes sat closest to King Landhar III, on his right. Watson, Kiana, and Nia sat to his left while the dragons sat at another table.

After everyone sat down, a maid walked into the hall with silver-white or gold-red wine bottles in her hands. Basher, who was wearing an apron, also came in. He was carrying a huge magical beast with a metal stick on its body. The beast’s shape could not be seen clearly, but it had been roasted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. It emitted a rich aroma of meat, which made everyone drool.

Sidi was beside Basher, who was playing with a few bottles of medicament-like condiments. Her face was full of excitement.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve cooked. Before I arrived in the divine realm, I remember that I learned to cook in the mortal world. I’ll be the one to cook this time. I believe I’ll definitely satisfy everyone.”

As Sidi spoke, Basher put the roasted magical beast on the table. He took a sharp blade from his pocket and cut it. Then, a maid put the meat on a plate and placed it in front of everyone, along with the wine.

“Everyone, this is the latest wine and dish in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. I hope that our guests from the Dragon Clan can comment on it after tasting it.”

Basher extended his right hand and introduced the meal. The dragons immediately lowered their heads to look at the meat on the plate and the wine beside it.

There was no treasure that the powerful Dragon Clan had not seen before. There was no rare delicacy that they had not tasted before, so they did not care about what Rand Harson III said.

After hesitating for a moment, the first to act was Olena. She picked up a knife and fork, picked up a piece of magical beast meat, and put it into her mouth. A moment later, her eyes suddenly widened, revealing a look of disbelief.

“What kind of magical beast meat is this? Why is the taste so strange? It seems to contain a lot of energy, and it is irresistible.”

Hearing Olena’s exclamation, Fafnir and Rem could not help but take a piece of the magical beast’s meat and put it into their mouths. After tasting it, Fafnir’s pupils contracted. “Is this from a platinum-tier magical beast?”

She had eaten platinum-tier meat before as the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan. It tasted very similar to the meat in front of her. However, she had only eaten platinum-tier meat once or twice in her life. The human kingdom could actually obtain meat at that level, but it was too extravagant to capture a platinum-tier magical beast and be willing to kill it.

As she sighed, an invisible scent accompanied by the unique taste of the magical beast’s meat exploded in Fafnir’s mouth, causing her eyelashes to tremble. She closed her eyes and leaned comfortably on the chair, sinking into an indescribable aftertaste.

Even though the texture of the platinum-tier magical beast meat was good, what was more important was that the meat was sprinkled with some special spices. After taking a bite, it was as if one was in heaven. All the troubles and trivial matters were thrown out of the body.

Besides Fafnir, Olena and Rem, who had also eaten the platinum-tier magical beast meat, were also sinking into the aftertaste at that moment. They could not even speak.

Fafnir only opened her eyes after a few seconds. She opened a golden-red wine bottle in front of her. The dishes were already so delicious. How was the wine?

She poured the golden-red wine into the cup in front of her. She took a small sip. With just one sip, her expression became shocked once again.

“This wine seems to contain the aura of the Spring of Life. There is also a strange fruit fragrance. I seem to have seen that fruit fragrance somewhere before! I remember now. That is the taste of the sun fruit unique to the Forest of Eternity. Was the wine made from the sun fruit?”

“You guessed it correctly. That wine is made from the sun and moon fruit grown in the Forest of Eternity. Now, wine is not a rare thing in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. You can buy a bottle for only 1,000 gold coins. Of course, the quality of the wine that I prepared is much higher than the ordinary wine.”

King Landhar III’s figure was hidden within the huge throne, and others could not see the smile on his face.

That banquet required him to display his strength in front of the dragons and display the unique style of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Nothing like the precious sun fruit wine and platinum-tier magical beast meat could reflect the kingdom’s wealth.

“Of course, I have prepared another gift for everyone here.”

King Landhar III clapped his hands, and guards walked in. Each of them was carrying a huge box. When they arrived in front of the three dragons, the guards opened the huge box filled with gold coins. There were at least tens of millions of gold coins.

Fafnir and the others were dumbfounded. “Your Majesty, what are you doing?”

Were the gold coins to bribe them? It looked like it.

King Landhar III succeeded if that was his plan.

“It’s nothing. My kingdom has recently earned a large number of gold coins, so much that we don’t have anywhere to put them. These gold coins are redundant, so I’ll give them to you as travel expenses. After all, you’ve come all that way for a long journey! It doesn’t matter if you agree to sign a new treaty with me or not; that money is yours. ”

King Landhar III’s rich voice caused Fafnir and the other two to fall into silence once again.

Ten million gold coins were given just like that. Even some ordinary dragons would not have such a terrifying wealth. In addition, they had tasted the magical beast meat and wine brewed from the sun fruit, which made them wonder what had happened to the Holy Dragon Kingdom, for it had changed so much. They felt like the Holy Dragon Kingdom was a completely different kingdom compared to a few years ago. Had they excavated a few ancient ruins and obtained many treasures from them?

Fafnir could not help but think so, but she did not show it. She said, “In that case, thank you, Your Majesty.”

Initially, she disagreed with King Landhar III’s idea of signing a new treaty. She said that she needed to consider it because her ability was sealed. As long as she left the Holy Dragon Kingdom, she would report everything that happened there to the other kings of the Dragon Clan. They would either lead the Dragon Army to attack the kingdom or lead the Dragon Clan to leave the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

However, she was inclined to sign a new treaty with King Landhar III. She had tasted more platinum-tier magical beast meat and received a reward of tens of millions of gold coins. However, King Landhar III did not promise anything more. If they signed a new contract with King Landhar III, one could imagine they would only receive more things.

While Fafnir was still hesitating, King Landhar III threw out another surprise.

“Oh, right! I’m going to spend money to upgrade all the industries in the kingdom. The Holy Dragon Kingdom has no more room for improvement in the fields of weapons and armor. Therefore, the next step is to upgrade the kingdom’s potion-making industry! The potion-making industry has not been doing well recently. The output has dropped by 50% compared to the past few years. Fortunately, there is a goddess among the kingdom’s seven gods who control shadows and potions. With Watson’s help, I believe that the kingdom’s potion-making level will be upgraded to a new level soon.

“The Dragon Clans should be very familiar with potions. Most of them can increase a person’s strength, and some have magical effects, including potions that increase reproductive ability! That is the focus of my current research. I plan to use that potion to make the kingdom give birth to more children in the short term. In less than ten years, the Holy Dragon Kingdom will become the most populous kingdom on the continent and the kingdom with the strongest combat power. I wonder if the Dragon Clan has any thoughts about potions that can speed up the reproduction rate.”

“King Landhar III, you don’t have to say anymore. I agree with your idea of signing a new treaty with the Dragon Clan.”

Fafnir took out a handkerchief, wiped her mouth, and sighed.

Rem and Olena wanted to say something, but they kept their mouths shut because they knew that even if they were in the same position as Fafnir, they would still make that decision.

The potion proposed by King Landhar III to accelerate fertility was too tempting for the dragons. The dragons were powerful, but they would make deals with the humans for that. Their fertility rate was too low, making it impossible for them to survive in that world alone. If the potion could increase the number of dragons, then they would have a completely different chance of ruling that world.

Compared to the other things that King Landhar III had given them, that condition would move them more.

“King Landhar III, I agree to sign a new treaty with you. There is only one condition, and that is I need the fertility potion that you mentioned! You must ensure that the effect of the potion is stable and harmless. The kingdom can research the potion first. Then, I will make sure that it is useful before signing a new treaty. Is that okay?”

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble, Lady Fafnir. It’s just a potion to promote fertility. You can just leave such a small matter to Watson.”King Landhar III turned his gaze to Watson, who had been eating since the banquet started. He said, “Watson, I’ve given you a task. Develop a potion that can promote the dragons’ fertility rate. You can do that in a day, right?”

Watson could not only make weapons, but he could also make potions. The three women looked surprised.

Feeling the gazes of the three Dragon Clan members, Watson put down his knife and fork, revealing a somewhat depressed expression. He only wanted to have a peaceful meal. Why would King Landhar III target him?

“Your Majesty, that kind of thing is quite tricky. I’ll try my best to do it.”

“Watson, is that really difficult for you? I want it in one day. If you can’t develop the corresponding potion within a day, you’ll have to bear the consequences. You’d have to stay in the palace and by my side until you develop the potion.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. It won’t be that difficult to make such a potion.”

King Landhar III felt angry and amused at Watson’s contradictory words. He knew Watson could make such a potion, but he did not want to do it. He had urged the young man to agree with him. He clearly had extraordinary strength, but he did not have any desire to show it. That youth left him with no choice.

“Fafnir, you heard Watson’s words. The potion will be ready tomorrow. So before that, why don’t you sign the treaty with me in advance?”

“That’s fine. It’s only one day ahead of schedule anyway! Remember this, King Landhar III. If you lie to me, I won’t just tear up the treaty. I will get the entire Dragon Clan to go up against the Holy Dragon Kingdom.”

“Don’t worry, Fafnir. I have the confidence to do it.”

King Landhar III’s voice was calm. His confidence came from Watson and Sidi, who were beside him. In fact, even without Watson, Sidi would have created the potion anyway. The reason he chose Watson was that it would be beneficial to his subsequent plans.

He even asked Sidi to help him prepare the meal in advance. Things had developed just as he had expected. He said that he would give the dragons three days to consider. However, he did not really want them to consider it for too long. He wanted Fafnir to sign a contract with him before the banquet ended.

After hearing King Landhar III’s affirmation, Fafnir hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and seemed to have made up her mind.

“Even if I don’t believe you, I’m afraid I have no other choice now. After all, with our powers sealed, even our lives are in your hands! There’s no point in wasting time. Let’s sign the contract now.”

“I like your straightforwardness.”

King Landhar III clapped his hands. Immediately, a guard came out with parchment and a quill pen and placed them in front of him and Fafnir, respectively.

After writing down the terms and requirements, Fafnir and King Landhar III cut their fingers and pressed a bright red handprint on the papers. The contract took effect as the two parchment papers gleamed with luster.

After putting away the parchment papers, King Landhar III and Fafnir looked at each other. Fafnir heaved a sigh of relief while King Landhar III revealed a genuine smile.

The contract between the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the dragon race had completely changed from that moment onward. The former weakness of the Holy Dragon Kingdom had turned into the weakness of the dragon race. That was a slight improvement for the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but it was a big step for mankind.

‘The dragon race is only a minor obstacle. It’s time to let those foolish and arrogant dragons understand who is the real master of this continent.’

King Landhar III clenched his fist quietly, his eyes burning with flames. His gaze was not there at that moment but in the distant future.
