At the same time, Basta, who had always been a cuckold to others, did not understand what had happened to him.
At this time, Roddy's words about Kardashian kept echoing in his mind. Speaking of which, Basta and Kardashian did not have much contact before, and every time they did, it happened to be under the eyes of Lord Victor. They had never had a real "one-on-one" date, so it was impossible to tell whether Roddy's words were true or false. But from the perspective of a proud Frost Dragon Race, when did a "human" dare to lie in front of him?
Those magisters could not wait to kneel in front of him and talk to him. How could a small city lord with no ability compare to them?
With such a mentality, Basta naturally did not suspect that Roddy was lying to him. Thinking of Kardashian's murderous expression before she left, this young Dragons inexplicably felt a trace of regret. But male Dragons were creatures with their lower bodies. When he thought of Kardashian's identity as the daughter of Lord Victor and her hot body, he felt that he should not be defeated by such a setback.
"Next time, I must work harder."
He muttered to himself and quickly flew back to the vicinity of the "space-time rift" where Lord Victor was. But as soon as he landed, he sensed a fiery presence not far away. In his dragon form, he quickly lowered his head and carefully looked at his companions. "What's going on?" he asked in a low voice.
"Lord Queo is here."
This reply made Basta's eyes widen. Previously, the fluctuation of the "space-time rift" attracted a red Dragons, who said hello and left. Who would have thought that in less than a day, the big boss Lord Queo would come looking for him. The Frost Dragon Race and the Red Dragons had always been at odds. Previously, after the destruction of the "Demonic Gate," Roddy had witnessed the scene of the two lords competing openly and secretly. Now that the two had gathered again, it was obviously not for some "friendly meeting."
In front of the Dragons who were at the level of Lord, Basta was completely a small character. So his return did not attract the attention of the two lords. At this moment, Queil was using his usual method to stimulate Viktor's emotions. Blazing fire elements filled the surroundings, and the surface of this lord's body was leaping with red radiance. His face was full of a satisfied smile. "Viktor, give up on your plan to rope in the humans. These ants are not worthy of the dragons' attention at all. Let's see if you still want to sign a contract with that guy. Old friend, are you crazy? "
Queo rarely called others "old friend." This did not mean that he was friendly. Instead, it meant that he was confident that he could defeat Link.
Victor was very shrewd. He would not be easily angered by Queo. The two were now next to the "space-time rift." In order to stabilize the rift in the stream, all the water had been blocked outside by spells. At the same time, there were also several magic circles used to stabilize the space-time ripples. But now, all of this had been abandoned. The dim magic circles were washed by the stream, and the sound of the magic circles seemed to be mocking them.
"No matter what, when the demons really invade, all the Dragons will probably fall into the enemy's trap. If you don't use humans as cannon fodder, will you have another High Elf jump out and repeat the same mistake? "
These words sounded cruel, but in the eyes of the Dragons, it was the truth. Queo shook his head. "There are many things that Dragons can solve themselves. Isn't the matter with Lasis an example?"
"Lasis" was the Lord of the Shadow Dragons, and also Merlinsera's father. When he said "solve", it naturally had a bloody smell. All the other Dragons had participated in the encirclement and annihilation of the Shadow Dragons. Victor and Queo had lost many of their subordinates in this series of operations, but in the end, they still managed to eliminate this group of Dragons. This was probably the biggest "civil war" among the Dragons in the past thousands of years.
Victor did not want to discuss this topic. He only shook his head. "Queo, I don't think you came here just to gloat. Why can't you just say it directly? "
"Tsk tsk, beating around the bush is something you are good at, Victor. I have always been very straightforward."
Queo did not forget to mock Link. Then he said, "I think you have some understanding of the space-time anomaly. We've never stopped studying dimensional rifts over the years, and at the end of the day, we all want to occupy more rifts for storage. After all, when it comes to the level of the Planar Wars, 'dimensional energy' is something that you and I lack, right? "
This was the consensus among the Dragons. Why were the space-time rifts so important to the Dragons? Because they allowed the Dragons to absorb and store a kind of power known as "space-time energy". This power did not have much effect on the ordinary creatures in the world, but it was very effective against the space-time teleportation devices like the "Demon's Gate". In other words, this was a special strategic resource for the Planar Wars. In terms of wealth, no Dragons lacked money. After all, other races were no different from cash machines in the eyes of the Dragons. However, the amount of space-time energy they had in reserve largely determined the power of the Dragons.
After all, this energy could not only be used for defense, but it could also be used to explore other planes and obtain resources from other planes. The ranks of each Dragon race were similar. Below the Lords, there were the powerful "Dragon Guards". Usually, the elites of these Dragon Guards would use the "power of time and space" to explore other planes. Although it was very dangerous, the harvest was often incomparable to the resources of the current world.
When Victor heard him emphasize "space-time energy", he suddenly had a bad premonition. Then, Queo revealed a proud look and said with a smile, "The Red Dragons are very lucky. After the space-time anomaly, they accidentally discovered a new batch of space-time rifts. They are immeasurable wealth for the entire Dragons. Of course, the Red Dragons will not take such a large amount of wealth for themselves. Old friend, I feel that the Frost Dragon Race has always been a good friend of the Red Dragons, so I came to you first to discuss the distribution of the wealth … "
These words set off a storm in Victor's heart!
Listening to what Queo said, the Red Dragons were obviously very lucky … What "such a large amount of wealth"? It was probably because they were lucky enough to discover a large number of space-time rifts!
Don't listen to Quayo's words about being "good friends all the time." This was simply a form of coercion and temptation. If you are willing to cooperate, then we are good friends. If you are not willing to cooperate, then you can only watch helplessly as I join forces with the other dragons!
Victor's thoughts turned quickly, but he tried to maintain a calm face. Before this, the Dragons did not have a dominant family. The Dragons were usually estranged from each other. Everyone was scattered everywhere, so there was no problem of who was the leader. But if there was a war of "Demon Invasion", the Dragons would join forces to fight against the enemy, and one of the Dragons would become the "dominant" Dragons. Why did Victor spend so much effort to form an alliance with Elsen City? Because in his plan, the friendship of humans would become an important weight for the Frost Dragon Race to rule over the other Dragons in the future!
Although humans were individually weak, they were a force that could not be ignored when they were united. Victor's plan had been going smoothly. Who would have thought that the Red Dragons would suddenly become a new force? They even began to use the space-time rifts as a bargaining chip to trade everywhere!
It was not difficult to imagine that all the Dragons could not resist the temptation of the space-time rifts. After all, it was not only about wealth, but also a trump card in his hands in the future Dimensional War. Victor felt a chill in his heart because he realized that Queo's "sudden wealth" meant that he would definitely become the leader of the Dragons in the future!
"What are your conditions?"
At this point, Victor knew that he could not refuse.
"As I said before, don't bother with the humans," Queo said as he observed Victor's indignant expression.
The latter had worked so hard for so long, how could he give in? He immediately waved his hand and said, "Impossible. Without the humans, do you want to fight the demons alone?"
"We don't only have one choice. Humans …"
"Who else can you find? Do you think there is any race on the continent that is more suitable than humans? They know magic, have armies, have strong reproductive abilities, and most importantly, are stupid and greedy enough … "
In the end, Victor could not control his emotions and fell into Queo's trap during the argument. Queo narrowed his eyes and continued, "Ah … Victor, I agree with some of the points you said. These locust-like fellows do have strong reproductive abilities. In terms of population, no one can compete with humans who can mate and reproduce all year round. But you said that they know magic, which is exactly the problem. "
This Red Dragon Lord was also not an idiot. Although he always said that he opposed the "alliance with humans", in fact, he only opposed the "alliance between the Frost Dragon Race and humans". As a lord, how could he not see Victor's ambition? Therefore, after laying the groundwork, he gave a "compromise" in a seemingly magnanimous manner. "In my opinion, we can continue to cooperate with humans, but we must find fellows who are obedient and easy to control. Those who are ambitious because they have learned a little magic and want to be on equal footing with the Dragons all day long should be eliminated as soon as possible. Victor, you must understand that they are fated to be slaves! "
The conversation between the two was very loud. Several young Dragons outside the circle looked at each other in dismay. They all knew that this Lord Queo had a fiery temper. Not to mention other races, even the members of the Red Dragon Clan would be easily beaten and scolded in front of him. Therefore, if Queo's words were to be used as a standard … then the humans would be in big trouble.
Queo, who had revealed his true intentions, waited for Victor's response. The latter did not speak for a long time because Queo's words were obviously aimed at Roddy and Elsen City. It seemed that when Roddy was at the "Devil's Gate", this lord was thinking about him. But as for the root cause, Victor had to admit that Queo was targeting him.
