Chapter 381
Odin did not speak.
"There's one thing I need to correct: my husband and I did try to stop Constantine from stealing the Primal Power, but we didn't succeed. Constantine still managed to take most of the Primal Power."
Losweiser spoke calmly and unhurriedly, her words revealing the majesty and composure of a Silver Dragon Queen.
"As for how we view Constantine now... my husband and I believe that with Constantine's current strength, he has surpassed most of the Dragon Kings, but he is not yet at the top level."
"Not up to top-tier standards?"
A young dragon king asked, "Ms. Melkwy, I have heard of the power of the Primal Power. It is a power completely different from modern magic, beyond the comprehension of all of us. How can Constantine, who has obtained such a powerful Primal Power, still not be able to join the ranks of the top? I don't believe it."
"The Primal Power is indeed powerful, but if you don't know how to use it, it's just a hollow concept."
The one who answered the young dragon king was not Losweiser.
It was Claudia, not Claudia.
All eyes turned to the beautiful young woman in the corner of the table once again.
She crossed her arms, lowered her head, and remained expressionless on her still beautiful face. Even surrounded by Dragon King level figures, Claudia showed no stage fright.
"Does Ms. Claudia mean... Constantine is not yet able to perfectly wield the Primal Power?"
"No, the Primal Power is ultimately just a kind of energy, just like if you have a bomb in your hand, you can cause damage by throwing it."
Claudia said calmly, "With Constantine's skills, throwing this bomb skillfully is not difficult; the difficulty lies in... how to increase the amount of gunpowder in the bomb, what methods can be used to throw it farther and more accurately, what kind of damage will occur after the explosion, and so on."
Upon hearing this, the three members of the Melkwy family exchanged glances.
Claudia is right.
When the 'First Generation Fusion Old Kang' attacked the Red Dragon Sanctuary, Losweiser used the purest Primal Power to effectively damage him.
The "Soul Judgment" technique, which Leon later obtained from his master, belongs to a type of magic technique within the Primal Power school.
Claudia's meaning is easy to understand: Old Kang has all the strength he needs, but he doesn't know how to use specific techniques.
It's clumsy and useless, don't worry.
"Sea Dragon First Princess is right. Moreover, as far as I know, Primal Magic has long been lost, and it is practically impossible to find the Primal Magic Manuals."
The old man spoke with an air of inexplicable confidence.
The Dragon King is like this: the older he gets, the more confident he becomes.
Because they have lived a long time and seen a lot, they feel that their understanding is the whole picture of the present era.
Another young dragon king, whether to curry favor with his 'old leader' and make a good impression, or because he genuinely had experience in this area, then spoke up.
"What you say is true. I also spent several years searching for Primal Magic, but in the end I failed. I dare say that Primal Magic is extinct in this generation."
Primal Magic is extinct.
The Silver Dragon couple almost burst out laughing.
"Perhaps, Primal Magic may really be... extinct."
As Claudia spoke, she glanced meaningfully at Leon and Losweiser across from her.
The couple knew that Claudia was the author of "Soul Judgment," so did her saying that mean... she wanted to hide the matter of Primal Magic?
Well, that makes sense.
The meeting was originally aimed at Constantine; there was no need to leak important information about their own clan.
We're having meetings, but we haven't reached the point of forming an alliance yet.
However, the couple didn't dare to make too much eye contact with the Sea Dragon beauty.
Should I let her discover that I wrote a martial arts manual and exclaim, "Wow, how come you have my martial arts manual?"
Claudia wanted to keep a low profile, as did Leon and Losweiser.
The meeting continued.
After the discussion about Primal Magic, the group turned their attention back to Constantine.
"Excuse me, everyone, I have a slightly off-topic question for Silver Dragon Prince." Golden Sand Dragon King Morgan looked at Leon.
"What's the problem?"
"We don't yet know how Constantine knew about the Primal Ruins; but we want to know how you obtained the information that Constantine wanted to seize the Primal Power?"
Because my former boss used Primal Power to turn Old Kang into a Frankenstein's monster, intending to use him to conquer all sides, but unexpectedly created a father for himself.
This father awakened his self-awareness and tasted the benefits of Primal Power. In order to take revenge on me and my former boss, he went to find the Primal Ruins.
Do you want me to tell you the truth, bro?
Once this is said, none of you here will be able to leave.
"I have unique intelligence outposts, so getting information about Constantine's movements isn't difficult," Leon said.
"An intelligence outpost? Interesting. Why would they design something like this?"
"Because I had fought Constantine twice before, I felt a sense of crisis, so I specially created a communication outpost to prevent him from attacking me again."
"Oh? Then, Silver Dragon Prince, regarding this information of yours—"
Before Morgan could continue asking, Ischa suddenly spoke up, "Hey Morgan, since this is the Silver Dragons' secret intelligence exchange outpost, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to keep asking around?"
"Ah, this—"
Losweiser seized the opportunity and followed up with another attack, "Besides, this was originally set up as a precaution. If we dig deep and insist on finding out how it works, then my husband's efforts will have been in vain."
Morgan was slightly taken aback, speechless after being choked by the two beautiful and sharp-tongued women.
Finally, he shook his head and smiled, "You two are right."
"Snort."
Ischa snorted and then looked at Leon, who was separated from her by Losweiser, and winked at her brother-in-law.
Leon smiled to himself, thinking that having two cunning women in the house did have some effect.
They're really going to fight when something happens.
The meeting is still ongoing.
In the time that followed, the Dragon Kings discussed how to deal with Constantine.
Several hours later, after a vote, the response to Constantine was determined as follows:
"We will send a certain number of guards to be stationed near the territory of the Crimson Flame Dragon Clan. If Constantine takes any risky actions, we can investigate and intervene immediately."
"After we keep putting pressure on Constantine for a while, we can tighten the encirclement until we force Constantine out."
"During this time, everyone should collect as much information as possible about the Primal Power. We need to extract all the Primal Power from Constantine."
"Does anyone have anything to add to this?"
Leon slowly raised his hand. "And then what happens after you reclaim the Primal Power from Constantine?"
"Of course, it should be used for the right purposes."
"The right... path?"
Leon savored the word carefully.
There's nothing wrong with the word itself;
The problem is the person who said that word.
It's not that Leon has a stereotype about Dragon Race, it's just that this power is too great. Those of you who have obtained it... will you really use it for the so-called righteous cause?
"Silver Dragon Prince, do you have any other ideas?" the old Dragon King, who had been very active in the meeting, asked.
Leon for a moment, then turned to look at Losweiser.
Losweiser nodded slightly to him, meaning that he should say whatever he thought was right.
"I think we should just keep an eye on Constantine and his territory, without putting pressure on him or starting a war."
"War will inevitably bring casualties, but if you think it's worth exchanging mountains of corpses and seas of blood for Primal Power, then I have nothing more to say."
When General Leon wasn't acting like a brute, he was quite intelligent—even a bit of a morally manipulative person.
They directly used moral blackmail against these dragon kings.
You are using the lives of your own people to gain power that doesn't belong to you.
You've done it; you're new to this.
If you're not going to do anything, just obediently keep an eye on Lao Kang and that's it. Don't bother with any fancy stuff.
I heard everything you were thinking in the Silver Dragon Sanctuary.
Of course, the above decision was made based on objective facts.
Leon also had some subjective thoughts of his own, namely... compared to this group of dragon kings, he actually had more faith in Old Kang's character/dragon character.
After returning from the Far North, Noa told him that Constantine had the opportunity to get rid of their group of students, but he didn't.
Even after learning that Noa was Leon's daughter, Constantine still did not hold a grudge against her.
From this, Leon knew that the mad dragon had principles.
Therefore, he preferred to temporarily place the Primal Power with Constantine rather than entrust it to other unfamiliar dragon kings.
Losweiser taught him that all power is tied to politics.
Politics, on the other hand, is a sophisticated disguise of the selfish desires of those in power.
That supreme divine power is like a delicious cake, and everyone wants a taste. Therefore, in front of this delicious 'cake,' never trust anyone you don't know, even if they are on your side.
"Well... alright, let's have a vote on Silver Dragon Prince's proposal then. Those who agree with Silver Dragon Prince, please raise your hands."
The old Dragon King's tone carried a hint of certainty.
Because he knew that everyone present wanted a share of the Primal Power.
How could I possibly agree to that naive kid's suggestion?
That's ridiculous.
As expected, none of the Dragon Kings present, except for Losweiser, Ischa, and Claudia, raised their hands.
"Unfortunately, Silver Dragon Prince, your proposal was not approved by everyone."
"Then, I declare—"
Just as the old man was about to make a decision, Odin, who had been silent throughout the entire meeting, slowly raised his hand.
"I agree with Mr. Casmod."
The confident old man next to him was taken aback, and his face turned somewhat ugly.
But wait, there's more to come.
After Odin finished speaking, Morgan, the Golden Sand Dragon King, also raised his hand.
"Hey, I think Brother Leon makes a lot of sense. Fighting and killing are no good. Let's sit down, have a cup of tea, and chat happily. Maybe that old Kang guy will hand over the Primal Power to the country on his own!"
Not only Morgan, but the other dragon kings also raised their hands after exchanging glances.
Compared to "the Primal Power that may not be able to be retrieved," "leaving a good impression on the old Thunder Dragon King" is more important.
Soon, the number of people raising their hands exceeded the number of those not raising their hands.
Leon chuckled and crossed his arms.
"Queen, I declare your declaration invalid."
91 Sweet Married Life (3K)
As evening approached, the Dragon King Secret Meeting came to a successful conclusion.
Taking advantage of Constantine's presence, the dragon kings who wanted to seize the Primal Power left one after another.
Only a few people remained in the meeting room:
The estranged couple and their eldest sister, Princess Claudia of the Sea Dragon First Princess, as well as Odin, the Thunder Dragon King, and Morgan, the Golden Sand Dragon King.
