Roddy's unhurried tone was far more intimidating than a roar. Basta felt an inexplicable chill in his bone marrow at this moment, but he quickly overcame all this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you threatening the Dragons? Who gave you the guts?! "
"You are mistaken about one thing, Basta."
A flat response sounded from behind him. Basta's eyes widened instantly. For a moment, he couldn't believe his own guess. Basta couldn't move his limbs at this time, but looking at the expressions of his four companions in front of him, Basta indeed had a feeling of being frozen by an extremely cold spell …
"Lord Victor …"
Aglais, Leuve, Nick, and Dean swallowed their saliva at the same time, then bowed respectfully. This lord of the Frost Dragon Race didn't walk in from outside the room, but from behind the broken crystal wall. He directly stepped into the room.
With his movement, the crystal wall that was full of cracks also disappeared, revealing the spacious conference room behind. Crystal Dragon Lord Crupus sat on a chair next to it. Obviously … the entire wall just now was an illusion. On the other side, Black Dragon Herrlöw Lord Procasto stared at these people and said in a deep voice, "You guys are quite capable."
In addition to the three lords, there were seven other elders of various races sitting at the long table. There were a lot of parchments on the table in front of them. Some of them were even holding strange bones, plants, or crystals. Obviously, this group of people was studying the problem of the Demons.
In the past ten minutes or so. They could clearly see what Basta and the others were doing through the wall of illusion. Even with the soundproof enchantment, they could still hear what they said.
At this time, their faces were very ugly.
For the lords and elders, Basta and the others were no different from slapping them in the face. They had just made Kardashian and the others "Honorary Elders", and then a group of juniors came out and ridiculed and even humiliated them … If this kind of thing were to spread, would the lords of the Dragons still have any dignity to speak of?
Although Basta was slapped by a human, it was not a glorious thing for the Dragons. However, the Dragons who were able to reach their current position were not fools like Basta. On one side, there were a few unimportant second-rate characters in the clan, and on the other side, there was the supreme leader of the Human Alliance …
Most importantly, everything Roddy did was to protect the reputation of the five "Honorary Elders" of the Dragons. With such a clear situation, they knew very well which side they should stand on.
In fact, all the elders and lords present were responsible for what had happened. They had thought that the ceremony a few days ago was safe enough, but it turned out that they had underestimated the shamelessness of the idle people in the clan. The Dragons claimed to be a higher race. Although they were strong, the construction of "spiritual civilization" was indeed a bit sloppy. Their power came from nature. Even if they were to be useless for life, they could still crush humans like ants. Therefore, people like Basta had long been a headache for the lords and elders.
The elite Dragons like Iscar, in the process of constantly tempering themselves, naturally developed a higher moral requirement through their understanding of various civilizations. In contrast, the ignorant and incompetent Basta and the others were like uncultured scoundrels. Reason? It would not make sense at all.
Usually, when these guys harmed the lower races, the elders turned a blind eye and pretended that they did not see it. However, they did not expect this group of bastards to come and show off to their "own people" … This showed that the Dragons also had the bad habit of "everyone kicks a wall when it's down".
They claimed to be a "higher race", but now it seemed that they were really not that high.
There were countless moments just now when the lords wanted to rush over and stop their unrestrained taunts — because what they had done was equivalent to trampling on the "Honorary Lord" title that the lords had announced.
However, Lord Victor stopped the elders beside him. As Kardashian's father, even when Basta requested to "keep her as his mistress", he kept his cool and did not show any signs of breaking out.
Even when Roddy made his move, he still did not say a word. Instead, his tense face relaxed. After Roddy had slapped Basta until his face was covered in blood, he then signaled the people beside him to walk out of the enchantment.
Lord Black Dragon Herrlöw did not think too much, but Crupus knew — if Roddy really hit someone, it meant that there was room for discussion.
On the other hand, if Rody did not say anything, that would be the biggest problem.
Crupus tilted his head from his seat, looked at the group of people in front of him and said aloud: "Today's matter, we need to have a good talk."
The originally noisy Aglais and the others were now silent. The only thing they could do was to bow to the lords and elders.
"My Lord … I, I —"
Basta's imprisonment was lifted by Edith. But now he no longer had the courage to take revenge on Roddy. Victor glanced at him, but did not look angry, just expressionlessly said: "Just stand here, I have something to ask all of you."
Roddy used a towel in the lounge to wipe the blood on his hands. At this time, he very naturally greeted the group of big shots in front of him: "I did not control myself today. If I have offended the lords and elders, I hereby apologize."
He spoke sincerely, as if he was willing to accept punishment, but these lords refused even more sincerely. Pucasto directly pointed at Leuve and said: "This unmotivated thing has lost face here, I should be the one to apologize."
Leuve lowered his head and did not dare to say a word, like a child who had caused trouble. The others all stared at the ground, no longer looking as arrogant as they were just now.
Roddy and the lords and elders exchanged pleasantries, but the hearts of these Dragons became colder and colder. The scene of the lords making things difficult for Roddy did not happen at all. Instead, they were the first to be scolded. They did not even dare to sit, and obediently stood at the side to listen to the scolding.
Because of the disappearance of the illusion, the area of the room was a lot larger. In addition, Victor's side was originally a conference room with a lot of chairs, so Victor directly waved at Kardashian and Iscar and the others: "Elders, please take a seat first. Today, I want to carefully listen to what they want to say."
With that, he also invited Roddy to take a seat. When Edith's illusion also sat next to the elders, the entire room only left with Basta and the other four standing there.
"Continue."
