NOVPUBChapter 372 -236: Suppressing the Red Dragon with One Hand? Then, isn鈥檛 my Demon Reaper also in danger? _2
鈥渀
Should I give this Red Dragon a chance to borrow money from me?
Borrowing money is a sham.
The real aim is to oppress him by using the identity of a Pureblood Red Dragon against that of the First Generation Red Dragon King.
It鈥檚 called borrowing money, but in reality, it鈥檚 squeezing the Red Dragon King dry.
The idea is clever, but if there really comes such a day, the Red Dragon will probably incur another sizable debt.
...
No fun in that.
Bullying a weak Red Dragon is pointless.
He definitely has money on him; he鈥檚 just too stingy to part with it, and it wouldn鈥檛 be right to just rob him outright.
I have to set an example for the Dragon Whelp; even if she wants to be an Evil Dragon when she grows up, she should become a distinguished one.
鈥淚f you have no money, then sign a five-year cooperation contract with Saint Blue. During these five years, Saint Blue won鈥檛 restrict your freedom, but when Saint Blue needs you, you must fight for Saint Blue.
After five years, the contract is automatically terminated. If you disagree, you can either bleed a little, leave your dragon horns, or鈥 leave one Dragon Claw.鈥
Choose. Considering you and my Dragon Whelp are from the same clan, I鈥檒l give you one more chance.鈥
潡堭潣凁潡答潣?co
鈥淵ou want to enslave me?鈥
鈥淚t鈥檚 a cooperation contract, not a Dragon Knight contract.鈥
鈥淔ive years is too long, three years!鈥
鈥淎greed.鈥
Three years will be enough.
The reason I want the Red Dragon to sign a cooperation contract with Saint Blue is that the presence of Pureblood Dragons can deter some of the covetous forces around Saint Blue.
Once Saint Blue gets through this financial crisis, whether the Red Dragon stays or leaves won鈥檛 be important to me.
He agreed to this?
The Red Dragon feels he has lost out; knowing how quickly humans agree, he should have said one year earlier.
鈥淚 misspoke earlier, one year.鈥
鈥淭ixia, Leia, fire up the pot and get the oil ready 鈥 we鈥檙e eating dragon meat tonight.鈥
With a bone-chopping knife suddenly in hand, Lance watched as the Red Dragon鈥檚 fiery red vertical pupils revealed panic. This guy is serious, isn鈥檛 he?
The knife in the human鈥檚 hand was no ordinary one; it was an extraordinary knife capable of breaking through Giant Dragon scales.
鈥淭hree years, three years, three years, just three years! It was just a joke, why did you take it seriously? Let me see the contract contents.鈥
鈥淭he contract content is just one sentence: when Saint Blue is in trouble, no matter where you are, you must appear in Saint Blue as quickly as possible to fight for it.鈥
鈥???鈥
The Red Dragon was stunned; the contract really didn鈥檛 limit his freedom. With just this one sentence, after signing the contract, he could leave Saint Blue whenever he wanted and go elsewhere.
Doing so wouldn鈥檛 be a breach of contract.
鈥淚 don鈥檛 have to stay in Saint Blue all the time?鈥
鈥淔or the first half-year, you鈥檇 better not leave Saint Blue. Right now, there鈥檚 a financial crisis, and war could break out at any moment. If you stay, it lessens the likelihood of a war erupting.
The powers around Saint Blue are not yet strong enough to ignore a Pureblood Red Dragon.鈥
Lance couldn鈥檛 be bothered to play guessing games with the Red Dragon. He laid out plainly the purpose of the contract.
It was a simple matter and didn鈥檛 need to be so complicated.
鈥淎fter half a year, once Saint Blue has weathered the financial crisis, you can leave anytime. While you鈥檙e away, if Saint Blue doesn鈥檛 summon you, you don鈥檛 have to return.
Once the contract period is up, Saint Blue will automatically terminate the contract with you.鈥
鈥淚鈥檒l sign this contract!鈥
Staying in Saint Blue for just half a year is nothing to a Giant Dragon; it鈥檚 like closing and opening one鈥檚 eyes.
A quick nap鈥 Perhaps a year will pass in no time.鈥
鈥淗old on, you鈥檙e not handling food, and鈥 you need to replenish the fish in the lake, too.鈥
鈥淎lright鈥︹€
The contract was signed; replenishing the eaten fish was no difficult task for him.
It made sense why the Dragon God approved of this human; he was too strong, and his actions were unlike those of other humans he had encountered.
Blunt and decisive, with no runaround.
If it were someone else signing a contract with him, the terms could probably stretch five or six meters long.
The crisis caused by the Red Dragon was thus averted.
Tixia thought it was [resolved] rather quickly.
鈥渀
From the time the Marquis returned to the signing of the contract with the Red Dragon, how long had it passed?
Less than an hour.
And still, it鈥檚 the Marquis we鈥檙e talking about鈥
But somehow, something feels off.
The Marquis could concoct Magic Potions, summon Source Beasts.
So, here comes the question, could a Summoner鈥檚 strength be so great as to swing a Giant Dragon with one hand?
Or is it that鈥 when the Marquis tamed the Source Beasts鈥 it wasn鈥檛 like other summoners, fostering a bond with them, but鈥 relying on his own formidable strength to beat them half to death鈥 and then signing contracts with them?
Regardless of the scenario, the Marquis is unbelievably powerful鈥
No wonder the Marquis dared to come to Saint Blue alone all those years ago鈥
Leia had realized this fact as well when her subordinates opposed her joining Saint Blue and tried to challenge the Marquis鈥
And then鈥 the Marquis鈥檚 pet Giant Tortoise, along with a Two-Headed Hellhound鈥 directly crushed their will to fight.
It was originally thought that Saint Blue鈥檚 Marquis was a gallant noble with little strength, but it turned out he was a gallant noble with hidden dragon-slaying power.
Galaway of the Holy Blue Knight Legion hung his head in shame, not expecting the Count to be so strong.
A Count with dragon-slaying power, who also has a duchy with unlimited potential, is truly worthy of Princess Leia.
It鈥檚 a pity鈥 it seems the Count has no such intentions at all.
Princess Leia isn鈥檛 bad-looking either, so why does the Count have absolutely no thoughts about romancing Princess Leia?
If they were to fall in love, marry, and have children, Princess Leia鈥檚 children would still be of the Royal Family.
The Holy Blue Knight Legion withdrew.
Tixia, after briefing Lance on the current situation in Saint Blue, also left to attend to her duties.
Lately, the officials in Saint Blue have all been quite busy.
Today, had the Red Dragon not desired to take possession of the Marquis鈥檚 mansion, they wouldn鈥檛 have shown up here.
Having come, Lance doesn鈥檛 plan to leave tonight.
He鈥檒l stay the night in Saint Blue and return to Alchemical City tomorrow.
The Red Dragon issue was settled, and Lance thought the Hell Grim Reaper from the Abyssal Netherworld would leave Saint Blue, but the Hell Grim Reaper stayed until evening.
Meanwhile, he kept brainwashing his Dragon Whelp, trying to convince it to sign a Soul Reaper contract with him.
He also asked what relationship the Dragon Whelp had with him.
When the Hell Grim Reaper learned from the Dragon Whelp that this human strong enough to defeat a Giant Dragon was raising her as a whelp,
his attentiveness increased.
Having such a fierce person as a supporter, if he managed to develop this timid Little Dragon into a Soul Reaper, and if the Grim Reapers from The Abyss dared to bully the Soul Reaper contracted to their Abyssal Netherworld, wouldn鈥檛 this ferocious utterly ruthless human beat the Hell Grim Reaper into idiocy?
One thing made him uneasy, though 鈥 this ferocious, utterly ruthless human seemed to glance occasionally in his direction.
Could it be that this fearsome man鈥 could see him, this Little Netherworld Soul Reaper?
That shouldn鈥檛 be right. It鈥檚 normal for a human at the Legendary Level to see him, but this fearsome man鈥 shouldn鈥檛 be a Legendary Level fighter yet, should he?
Defeating a Giant Dragon doesn鈥檛 make one a Legendary Level fighter.
Legendary Level fighters, besides having legends of their own in the world, also have strength infinitely close to a deity; some of the more powerful Legendary Level fighters can even challenge deities.
Inside the mansion courtyard.
The Hell Grim Reaper hovered behind the Dragon Whelp, holding special paper and a pen, tempting the Dragon Whelp to sign a Soul Reaper contract with him.
The Red Dragon was not within the courtyard, as he was repairing the lawn outside the mansion.
鈥淟ittle Dragon, this Soul Reaper contract鈥 hold on a moment, I鈥檒l discuss the Soul Reaper contract with you in a bit鈥 I鈥檓 now suspecting that fierce man can see me鈥 I鈥檒l go verify鈥︹€
The Hell Grim Reaper from the Abyssal Netherworld floated in front of Lance, staring intently into Lance鈥檚 eyes, staring and staring鈥 he started to feel something was wrong, as if the fierce man were also staring back at him鈥
鈥淯m鈥 fearsome man鈥 can you see me?鈥
鈥淚 cannot.鈥
鈥?!!鈥
He could hear him speak and yet he dared to say he couldn鈥檛 see him?
This is bad, if the fierce man could see him, doesn鈥檛 that mean鈥 he鈥檚 seen everything about him coercing and enticing the Little Dragon into signing the Soul Reaper contract?
Whew鈥
Lance let out a breath, and the Hell Grim Reaper鈥檚 hat on his head was blown off by it.
It was a Little Demon with black horns on its head.
He looked somewhat familiar.
