Chapter 117 What evil intentions could a young dragon possibly have?
Dragon, who has just turned fifty, is indeed very young. If converted to human years, he might not even be as old as Modi.
"I'm just a young dragon, not yet fully grown. What evil intentions could a young dragon possibly have?"
Silver Dragon spoke earnestly, his sapphire-like eyes sparkling, looking utterly pitiful.
This is assuming we ignore its enormous size.
"The young dragon has a lot of wicked intentions." Elena's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but she remained unmoved.
Women are generally not resistant to beautiful things, provided that they are not of the same kind.
Clearly, Elena subconsciously regarded the silver dragon as one of her own kind and harbored considerable malice towards it.
The Dragon Devouring Greatsword was itching to strike, but Modi pressed it down with a palm.
Elena played her part very well; now it's his turn to play the villain.
"Although you are not affiliated with the Dragon Worship Cult, your uninvited arrival has seriously disrupted our work."
Modi's smile sent chills down Long's spine.
The silver dragon's scales bristled, and it straightened its back, like a spinal dragon in its new form, about to breathe on them.
"Hmm?" Elena snorted softly, shaking the Dragon's Bite in her hand, startling it so much that it immediately held back the breath it was about to exhale.
"I've only lived for fifty years. As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything!" Silver Dragon shrank his neck, his tone aggrieved.
Its strong will to survive piqued Modi's interest.
"How did you die in your past life?"
Mentioning those painful memories only made it more aggrieved, and its dragon eyes welled up with tears.
"I was sleeping soundly in the dragon's nest when suddenly a bunch of people came. They were shouting about slaying dragons and glory, and they attacked me directly. I was still half asleep when they killed me."
After hearing its story, Modi couldn't help but tighten his lips.
This was the most frustrated dragon he had ever seen.
When Silver Dragon was forty-nine years old, it was probably right at the end of the Dragon Empire's reign, and he was caught up in the escalating Dragon Slaying Crisis.
"I can spare your life, but what price are you willing to pay for it?"
cost?
The silver dragon immediately thought of the few treasures it had in its nest.
It cautiously announced a number: "One thousand gold coins?"
"...Is this all your life is worth?" Mordy released his hand that was pressing down on Dragon Devourer, and Elena immediately understood, raising her sword slightly.
"I only have this much gold." The silver dragon said with a mournful face, displaying a human-like expression of despair.
It had only recently revived and just built its dragon nest; even this small amount of gold was obtained by having its dragon tooth soldiers dig up gold from various ancient tombs.
Unlike their other murderous and arsonist kin, their dragon nests were soon filled with various precious metals.
It's a law-abiding dragon, as for tomb raiding? Ancient tombs aren't protected by Northern laws.
"This is the first time I've ever seen a dragon as poor as you. I doubt any other dragon would want to lay its eggs with you," Modi said with a look of disgust.
The silver dragon's expression froze instantly; these words had truly struck a nerve.
"By the way, I can provide some information that relates to Audurian."
The moment the name "Audurion" was uttered, the two men's expressions changed slightly.
"If this information is valuable, we might spare your life," Mordy said.
The silver dragon swept its tail, shaking off the dust and bricks, and slowly spoke:
"I overheard this information by chance from an old dragon. It invited me to go with it to a place called 'Ulduhim' to meet our king, Uldurian."
"I don't like going out, so I immediately declined its invitation. To be honest, I'd rather stay in Dragon Nest and sleep peacefully than go out."
It spoke with an air of self-righteousness, full of the flavor of salted fish, and even looked as if it had been honored.
"Do you know where that Alduhim is?" Elena asked.
Silver Dragon shook his head. "I've never traveled far in either my past or present life. I only stay around the vicinity of the Dragon's Nest. Do you expect me to know some random place name?"
“I know,” Mordy suddenly spoke up, “That place is the temple where Audurian once lived. It has been lost for a long time, and I’m afraid that apart from some old dragons, no one would know about it.”
In order to find bargains and ancient artifacts, he had visited that place many times, and he knew it like the back of his hand.
"How did you know? Never mind, it's none of my business. I've already given you the information, look..."
Before Yinlong could finish speaking, he saw the two people in front of him exchange a glance, and an ominous feeling arose out of nowhere.
Elena gestured to Mordy with her eyes, asking if they should eliminate the threat completely.
Modi shook his head slightly, indicating that he had another idea.
He looked at the silver dragon, and it was also graceful... no, it was budding... no, that's not right either.
In short, there is a considerable amount of surplus value.
"Fine, I'll just say it straight. Miss Silver Dragon, you don't want your dragon life to end at fifty, do you?"
Modi pulled out a bundle of iron chains, tearing away his amiable facade.
The chains, forged from the evil iron of the Death Prison, gleamed coldly, and the souls imprisoned within them cried out in agony.
Silver Dragon's breath hitched, and he cautiously probed:
What if I say I don't want to?
"Then I'll give you a new nest, and I'll offer you a condition you can't refuse." Modi held up one finger.
"You mean...you'll pay me a thousand gold coins every month?"
"No, I mean, wouldn't you like to lie comfortably on a pile of gold coins and sleep?"
"Yes, I really want to." Silver Dragon's expression changed, and he put on a fawning face.
Modi projected a portion of his memories onto the screen, which displayed the treasure vault of the Frost Tomb Sanctuary.
Inside, gold glittered, treasures were piled up like mountains, and various gemstones were scattered throughout, making it so dazzling that the silver dragon could hardly open its eyes.
In addition to the original treasures of Frost Tomb, this place also contains the treasures of Frostfire Territory.
Not long after the death of the Red Dragon Fianna, Mordi rushed to Frostfire Territory and slaughtered the remaining forces of the Dragon Cult.
They also looted the treasure vault of the Dragon Prison.
"I'm giving you the right to sleep on a pile of gold coins. Now make your choice."
"Then there's only one answer."
Silver Dragon lowered his head without hesitation, "I will pledge my loyalty to you."
Unfortunately, there weren't any suitable props on site, otherwise it would have wanted to break something else to prove its determination.
However, the young silver dragon was unaware that it was about to step into a vortex of good fortune.
Even dragons cannot escape from this vortex.
"You're just going to kidnap it like this... no, take it back?" Alarm bells rang in Elena's mind. The threat posed by a female dragon far exceeded that of a human woman.
"Isn't the Shuang family short-handed lately? I think this Silver Dragon has potential. Don't worry, I'll definitely train him into a qualified worker."
Modi seemed to have misunderstood, and patted her on the shoulder, indicating that she should relax.
Elena twitched her lips and leaned against him helplessly.
"Don't sleep yet, there's still a Red Eagle treasure trove waiting for us to plunder."
Red Eagle Territory is far more powerful than Frostfire Territory, and its lord's treasury is also much larger.
Besides the treasure chests filled with money, they also contained many valuable items, such as paintings and sculptures from the Second Age, as well as weapons that were famous throughout history.
Mordy found the Black Arrow that slays dragons on a shelf. The arrow, which was completely black, made both him and Elena feel uneasy.
"Wow, there are more gold coins here than in my dragon's nest... Oh well, there are definitely more."
The silver dragon gasped, her eyes gleaming with gold. If Modi hadn't been holding her tail, she probably would have pounced straight into the pile of gold coins.
"How did you get in here? And why did you turn into human form?"
Elena grabbed the silver dragon girl by the scruff of her neck, lifted her up, and stared at her expressionlessly.
Sensing that terrifying gaze, the silver dragon turned its head stiffly like a machine, and chuckled:
"I was just curious about the human nest, so I came in to take a look. As for turning into human form, it's just my habit. Only when I turn into human form can I lie in the pile of gold coins in the dragon's nest and enjoy the pleasure of being surrounded by gold coins."
His words and actions conveyed a sense of poverty and stinginess.
Elena felt a little embarrassed to target her.
Perhaps the young dragon really doesn't have any bad intentions?
Beside him, Modi waved his hand, and a rift opened in the Death Prison demiplane, from which his loyal demon soldiers poured out.
They first saluted Modi, and then began to loot the Red Eagle Lord's private treasury.
Adhering to the principle of leaving some room for others, Modi did not let them empty the entire treasure vault, but left a portion inside.
"Why don't you just empty it out?" Elena wondered.
"If we empty it out, the entire Red Eagle Territory's finances will be ruined."
Modi shook his head and pointed outside the palace. "Not only do my people need to make a living, but the residents of Red Eagle Territory do too. If Red Eagle Territory's finances collapse, they will be the first to suffer."
The silver dragon girl listened from the side and her opinion of him changed drastically.
I initially thought he was a ruthless, inhuman, cruel, and evil man, but I never expected that beneath his cold exterior lay a heart that, despite its flaws, still possessed a conscience.
"Besides, Red Eagle Territory will be mine sooner or later, so why should I make things difficult for my future subjects?"
"...I take back that idea," the silver dragon girl opened her mouth, "Why don't you just say the entire Northern Territory will be yours sooner or later?"
"You understand me very well." Mo Di's eyes lit up.
"The people of the North have suffered under that incompetent Grand Duke for far too long. Now is the time for me to shoulder the burden of the North and its people. Who else but me can take on this responsibility?"
The position of Lord of the North is too dangerous. If he doesn't go to hell, who will? Such a dangerous position should be handed over to him to suppress the rebellion.
Once there was a royal skinner who sat on a golden toilet to block the subspace; now there is Modi who wants to sit on that icy throne to stabilize the northern border.
The silver dragon girl was unable to answer. After they finished looting, she glanced at the remaining treasures in the vault with a regretful expression, then turned away reluctantly. As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw the two of them turn around and stare at her.
"What, what did you do?"
The silver dragon girl felt uneasy under his gaze, and the scales on her tail bristled.
Modi pointed at the projected silver dragon and smiled, "You can't exactly carry us back in human form, can you? Hurry up and transform!"
