Justice in Cooperation
Schroeder's speech finally ended, and the crowd became angry and started to protest.
"That evil dragon must pay the price!"
"Embers of the Burned Kingdom's tyranny will surely end!"
"The North's justice and order cannot be destroyed!"
"One day, his dragon head will be chopped off and used as decoration!"
Schroeder looked around, seeing that the atmosphere was almost complete, and then said in a deep voice, "Now, I have found a special method to trap that Red Dragon, but I am weak and need your help."
"."
Suddenly, there was silence in the hall.
The people who had been so generous just now were now silent as if they were under the influence of Mass Silence Spell.
After all, it is one thing to say it, but it is another thing to do it in person. That giant dragon is a terrifying existence that can destroy 30,000 coalition troops on its own. Although everyone says they want to slay the dragon, no one is stupid enough to risk their own life.
Schroeder noticed everyone's silence, but there was no look of disappointment on his face.
These low-level spellcasters were not originally the targets he came to win over this time.
His peripheral vision glanced at the "Star" lady.
I saw displeasure in the other party's beautiful blue-gray eyes, with no intention of responding at all.
Schroeder, who is good at observing people's emotions, has long noticed that although this lady "Star" has strong spellcasting ability, she is obviously not experienced in the world and is a bit indecisive. In terms of dealing with people, she can even be described as "immature".
——This is why Schroeder dared to interrupt her just now. If it were a strong High-Level Spellcaster, he would never dare to do this.
However, this lady "Star" just expressed doubts that she had lost face. She is obviously not the target of Schroeder.
Thinking of this, he looked at Mr. "Embers".
The noble young man with black hair and golden eyes, his handsome face was full of indignation at this moment, as if he couldn't wait to kill the brutal Red Dragon.
Yes, it's him.
With powerful spellcasting ability, power behind him, and a sincere heart for pursuing justice, isn't this what Schroeder expected, the perfect injustice Da Tou?
In fact, not only Olivia, but also Schroeder also discovered the "flaw" of Polymorph, and his unconcealable arrogance in the subsequent communication process, which made him guess that Mr. "Embers" was most likely a Golden Dragon.
Upholding justice is a creed engraved in the blood of every Golden Dragon. These paranoid guys spend most of their time in disguise to "fish for law enforcement." Many of the killers and robbers who prowl the world's desolate places meet a swift end when their seemingly helpless victims are revealed to be Golden Dragon in disguise.
Golden Dragon will not rest until the perpetrators have been defeated and killed or put on trial, and they will not settle for anything less than a complete victory over evil.
Schroeder did not hesitate to offend High-Level Spellcaster, but also wanted to create this desperate atmosphere of evil coming, just to make this guy suspected of Golden Dragon take the bait.
Sure enough, Mr. "Embers" took action.
"Crack!"
He looked around contemptuously and said loudly, "Is the justice that everyone here just talked about just a joke?"
"Mr. Gray Eagle, I, and the forces behind me, are willing to give us all the help we can to help you subdue that brutal Red Dragon!"
"Your Excellency Embers, thank you for coming forward and contributing to justice and order the North."
"Your Excellency Gray Eagle, there is no need to say more. Slaying the evil dragon is only what I should do, and it is also the duty of any person with a righteous heart.
"You, you... I don't know what to say anymore."
Schroeder rushed forward, held Keosius's hand tightly, and showed a grateful expression.
"Golden Dragon is really easy to deceive. When they both lose, I can catch them all in one fell swoop. At that time, I will become the hero of the entire the North."
Schroeder thought to himself.
"I will definitely do my best to 'help' you."
Keosius also thought to himself, an imperceptible hint of teasing flashed across his golden pupils.
The two hands held each other tightly and agreed to fight against the brutal Red Dragon that was ravaging the North together, and to do so at all costs
——This scene is like the beginning of the epic story mentioned by Bard, full of strong heroism.
However, the true face of this scene is that the evil mage under Vampire shook hands with the incarnation of Red Dragon and agreed to fight against the brutal Red Dragon himself. The reason was to fight for justice.
Seen this way, it seems extremely absurd.
In this way, everyone was happy at this meeting.
People all praised the righteousness of His Excellency "Embers", and wished them a successful crusade against Red Dragon, and restored peace to the people of the North. Of course, the more important thing is to maintain their high aristocratic status.
The meeting ended and people left.
Schroeder left a teleportation coordinate and invited Keosius to go to the secret place specially prepared by Bosque Duchy tomorrow morning to discuss specific cooperation matters.
Keosius did not leave in a hurry, but stayed where he was and waited. Sure enough, the "Silver Star" Olivia stopped him again.
She hurriedly chased after him, with a hint of worry in her blue-gray eyes.
"Anher, you can't trust that human being easily. He is lying. My Divination Spell told me that he is probably a subordinate of Duke Vampire. He is definitely not a good person."
"Of course I know."
Keosius replied calmly.
Olivia was a little confused. "Then why do you still agree to him?"
Keosius looked at the sky, with a touch of perseverance in his golden pupils. "Because now there is a greater evil hanging over Anzeta. I must unite all the forces that can be united to get rid of the raging Red Dragon."
He looked at Olivia and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Don't worry, I will not let go of any evil person. When Gray Eagle assists me in killing that Red Dragon, I will also get rid of him without hesitation."
"I will bring true justice and order to the entire Anzeta, and even the entire Erezege. This is also my goal all along."
"You..."
Olivia was stunned.
During her only more than seventy years of dragon life, she had only a few contacts with Golden Dragon, and most of the people she got along with were members of the same race as Silver Dragon.
Compared with the paranoia of Golden Dragon, Silver Dragon usually does not take eradicating evil as their own responsibility. They prefer to live in a gathering place of humanoid creatures and enjoy life. Unless they face aggressive enemies, they will not take action easily.
Although Olivia also had the deeds of Contend Against Dragon Cult, he had never seen an existence as dedicated to eradicating evil as the "Golden Dragon" in front of him. This made her feel a little strange, but also inexplicably moved.
Keosius saw that Silver Dragon was frightened, and the [Eloquent Speaker] characteristic was fully activated.
"My father, Ancient Gold Dragon Castro, once said this to me fifty years ago: With great ability comes great responsibility."
"This world has given us Metallic Dragon a power that is incomparable to anything else. We must also shoulder the great responsibility of eradicating all evil. This is the rule of the world."
Olivia couldn't help but sigh, "Anher, your father is really a great and wise Golden Dragon."
Keosius stared into her eyes and said in a heavy tone, "Olivia, I have investigated it a long time ago. That Red Dragon is very strong, beyond your imagination, and can even cast nine-level spells."
Olivia's beautiful eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"How is this possible?"
As High-Level Spellcaster, who has studied magic for more than fifty years, few people understand the difficulty of casting Ninth Circle Spell better than her. It is a dream that most mages cannot achieve in their lifetime.
But a Red Dragon who is not good at casting spells, or even a young Red Dragon, can cast Ninth Circle Spell. This is really bizarre.
"Nothing is impossible."
Keosius's tone was even heavier.
"So, if I don't participate in Arcane Hermit Order next time, it is likely that the operation has failed. At that time, I will leave a message on the battlefield of North Wind Fortress and tell you the information about Red Dragon that I detected at the cost of my life."
"When the time comes, I hope you will search for it and hand it over to the righteous."
"Okay..."
Olivia was silent for a while before answering softly.
"Anher, don't always think things are so bad. Bahamut Your Majesty will protect you. I hope I can see you again next time Arcane Hermit Order."
"I hope so."
Keosius replied nonchalantly, as if he had already put his own life and death aside.
He stared at Olivia's faintly twinkling blue-grey eyes, thinking that he had finally been fooled by this silver dragon, and he was just waiting for her to deliver the goods to his door in the future.
Strasbourg, Avenger's Secret Chamber.
This is a secret base specially prepared by Grand Duke Leo of Bosque Duchy for Schroeder and other people who have lost their country. The location is extremely secretive. Even Yuan-ti secret agents of the Embers of the Burned Kingdom are not aware of its existence.
Schroeder and six former Lakman Court Mage gathered here, waiting for the arrival of collaborators.
The space was distorted and a portal opened.
The noble young man transformed by Keosius walked out. He looked around and stared at these mages.
In his eyes, these were all level four mages, not worthy of his attention.
Schroeder quickly led people to greet him, with a flattering smile on his face, "Sir Embers, welcome to your arrival. We homeless people have been waiting for this moment for too long."
Keosius said calmly, "The situation is urgent now, so you don't need to say anything. If that Red Dragon is not removed, the North countries will always be in crisis."
He paused, and a look of suspicion appeared on his face.
"I just want to know, what confidence do you have to compete with that Red Dragon? Is it just you Court Mage?"
"Of course not, please don't be anxious, Mr. Embers."
Schroeder said with a smile.
He took out an old parchment scroll from the secret cabinet in the secret room.
Keosius's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly became alert. He could feel the dangerous aura on it - it was a forbidden secret method for the dragon clan.
[Wagnerd Dragon Binding Array]
8th level conjuration
"Dragon Mad Black Mage" Wagnerd developed this spell out of his endless obsession with dragons in order to study them forever.
Because the power of the dragon is too powerful, this spell requires more than twenty spellcasters to cast it together, or Legendary Caster to cast it, and use the blood and scales of True Dragon as a primer. It can bind a dragon whose life level has not reached the ancient dragon stage.
Wagnerd, Keosius know this name, it was also the famous boss of Anzeta in his previous life.
A hundred years ago, he was kidnapped and became a member of Dragon Cult, forced to serve the evil dragon and Dracolich. Until a hungry Red Dragon swallowed his wife alive, and Wagnerd went crazy.
Since then, Wagnerd became crazy and obsessed with the power of dragons. He captured White Dragon from Anzeta and established Polar Night Demon Tower. He even transformed his own daughter into a half-human, half-dragon monster, becoming the so-called "Dragon Mad Black Mage".
Keosius frowned slightly, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"Is this something from Polar Night Demon Tower?"
"How dare you cooperate with that lunatic Wagnerd?"
Schroeder obviously did not expect that the other party would know about the mysterious mage, and quickly defended. "No, we don't know the origin of this scroll, we just want to use him to deal with that Red Dragon."
Keosius said coldly, "Sir Gray Eagle, I think you should be able to guess my identity."
Powerful pressure spread out, and cold sweat fell from Schroeder's forehead. He trembled and said, "Of course, you are a Golden Dragon who guards justice and order."
Keosius snorted coldly, showing off Golden Dragon's arrogant attitude.
"It's good to know. Human beings, I will cooperate with you, but don't try to take advantage of it to do any tricks."
"Yes, Your Excellency Embers."
Schroeder took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Sir Embers, our plan is this. You will transform back into your true form, face Contend Against with Red Dragon, and lure him to a place we have agreed upon in advance. Then I will activate the magic circle and bind him."
"Of course..."
"I also need your scales and blood."
He secretly glanced at "Embers" and felt relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual about the other person's expression.
Keosius questioned again.
"You mages alone are not enough to cast this Eighth Circle Spell."
Schneider replied respectfully, "I am summoning spellcasters from all over the country, but there are very few responders. It may take several months of preparation."
Keosius said bluntly, "We don't have so much time, the North people are always in danger."
Schroeder said helplessly, "But there are really few spellcasters..."
Keosius interrupted without hesitation, "I have dozens of spellcasters under my command, who can be summoned immediately. I also have responders in North Wind Fortress, who can provide a safe area for you to place the magic circle."
"So, when can we start taking action?"
"A month."
Schroeder answered honestly.
"It takes at least a month for an ordinary mage to learn to draw a part of the magic circle. This magic circle is too high-level and can only be drawn once. Once it is drawn, it will be completely forgotten. And I will be the master controller of the magic circle."
"Very good, I will send his spellcasters here one after another. I hope you can succeed in a month."
"Yes, Your Excellency Embers."
North Wind Fortress, [Magic Coin] Guild residence.
"Five hundred and one, five hundred and two..."
"We recently posted it!"
The president of Magic Coin, Charlotte, who is already a fourth-level mage, is happily counting Gold Coin in the guild warehouse. Their guild recently took on tasks in the city and made a lot of Gold Coin.
Suddenly, a camp mission appeared on his panel.
[The Lurking Mage]
[Court Mage Schroeder, formerly Lakman Duchy, is planning to take revenge on Embers of the Burned King Keosius. Please summon 20 players, disguised as Golden Dragon Anher's family members, and sneak into Avenger's Secret Chamber of Bosque Duchy...] [Reward: 15,000 per person for Faction Contribution, 2,500 for Gold Coin in total] "Why is this the mission of the second and fifth boys again?"
Charlotte was still complaining at first, but when he saw the mission reward column, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Damn, the reward is so high?"
Their guild originally started out as a young man, and they are very skilled in various businesses. I am afraid they will make a fortune directly this time.
"Wuhu, take off!"
"Brothers, hurry up and keep up!"
"Magic Coin, follow me on the expedition!"
Ignoring the crazy looks from ordinary residents, Charlotte yelled in the guild station.
