After giving Lin Li the Domain Robe, Nefa looked at Rogge, who was recovering, with a complicated expression. He sat down, and said to Lin Li, "I was tricked by Geresco to be trapped here for thousands of years. I thought I would be enemies with you humans, but I didn't expect to work together to deal with my own kind. However, your performance really surprised me. You have such abilities at such a young age. If I'm not wrong, when you attacked just now, you were able to use the power of Abyss? From what I know, that's the method of an ancient deity. "
"What was the situation then? With Geresco's abilities, he didn't need to use deception to seal you. I heard that when you were defeated by Geresco, he wanted to kill you. It was Tutankhamun who pleaded for you, and he changed his mind and decided to seal you here? " Lin Li didn't continue the topic about the power of Abyss, and instead asked about Nefa. Of course, he didn't want to expose Nefa's scars. He knew that Nefa wouldn't make up a lie in front of Rogge for the sake of his pride. The same thing would have different results when viewed by different people and from different angles. Hence, Lin Li didn't doubt Nefa's words. He was just a little curious.
Of course, Lin Li's question was rather direct. It was no different from exposing Nefa's scars. Nefa could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He glanced at Rogge, and said, "Old Rogge said it, right? That's right, I have to admit that I'm not Geresco's match. I lost completely that time. However, it wouldn't be easy for Geresco to kill me. After all, the situation back then was different. If I wanted to escape, no one could stop me. "
"At that time, I didn't know that Geresco was coming for me. I thought he was going to look for my brother, and coincidentally saw us fighting, so he helped me. Hence, after I was defeated by Geresco, I didn't try to escape immediately. Geresco probably knew that he would have to put in more effort if I tried to escape. Hence, after he defeated me, he said he wanted to make a deal with me. "
"Then, you agreed?" Lin Li started to doubt Nefa's intelligence. As the controller of the Laws of Evilness, he was too gullible.
"I have no choice. I can't reject Geresco's offer. Besides, I didn't expect him to not want me to become the new Dragon of Destruction after destroying the Tree of Eternity with his own hands. " A look of indignation flashed across Nefa's face. Even the weak humans had a figure like Geresco. Why was he, the descendant of the Dragon of Destruction, destined to never reach the peak?
"What conditions made you lose your ability to think?" Lin Li asked curiously.
"He said that a large crack has appeared in the Night Canyon, and he needs a Sanctuary powerhouse to suppress the violent power in the crack. As long as I agree to do this, he'll tell me some things about the Dragon of Destruction, especially the true situation of the battle between the Dragon of Destruction and the Immortal King." At this point, Nefa glanced at Rogge gloomily. Obviously, Rogge's method of dragging him down was exactly the same as Geresco's.
As the controller of the Laws of Evilness, Nefa felt frustrated and helpless after being schemed against by the same method twice. Who asked him to be caught so easily? Even though he knew that it was impossible, he had to give it a try in order to fulfill his wish. However, the good thing was that he had survived this crisis. He only hoped that what Rogge knew would be useful to him.
"I don't quite understand. Is this very important to you? Don't you already know the key to becoming the Dragon of Destruction?" Upon hearing Nefa's complaints, Lin Li couldn't help but feel strange. Was the true situation of the battle between the Dragon of Destruction and the Immortal King that important to Nefa?
"If someone doesn't allow you to step into the Sanctuary-realm, and claims that he'll kill you once you step into the Sanctuary-realm, and even if you have the power of the Sanctuary-realm, you won't be able to resist the other party. Do you want to step into the Sanctuary-realm first, or do you want to figure out what's going on and how to solve it? "
"Before I was tricked by Geresco to come here, I only wanted to know how to deal with my younger brother. I wanted to know why the Immortal King wanted him to restrict me. After Geresco made me stay, I finally realized that becoming the Dragon of Destruction is not as easy as I thought. "
How to become the new Dragon of Destruction? Actually, Nefa already had an answer to this question. The skeleton of the Dragon of Destruction Azardas under the Blackstone Mountains, which was guarded by his younger brother, Tutankhamun, was very likely the key to him becoming the Dragon of Destruction. However, at the same time that Nefa obtained this answer, the question of how to become the new Dragon of Destruction required more than just this answer.
According to what had always been said, the Immortal King killed the Dragon of Destruction because the Dragon of Destruction wanted to destroy the Tree of Eternity. However, to Nefa, this explanation was clearly not reasonable enough. Tutankhamun was arranged by the Immortal King to guard the skeleton of the Dragon of Destruction in the Blackstone Mountains. It would still be understandable if it was for the sake of the Tree of Eternity. However, why did Geresco, who had personally destroyed the Tree of Eternity, also forbid the new Dragon of Destruction from appearing?
If Nefa didn't figure this out, he probably wouldn't have the guts to take that step even if the skeleton of the Dragon of Destruction was placed in front of him. Hence, in his opinion, the battle where the Dragon of Destruction fell should be a key. Only by figuring out the truth of that battle and the true intentions of the Immortal King would he be able to think about what to do next.
Although Lin Li didn't have a good impression of Nefa, he did feel a little sympathetic towards his fate. First, it was the Immortal King, and now it was Geresco. Both of the two god-like powerhouses in Anril didn't want Nefa to become the Dragon of Destruction, which was equivalent to cutting off the possibility of him reaching the peak. That might not be a big deal for ordinary people, but it was definitely the greatest tragedy for a person who had supreme aspirations. It was a classic case of having high aspirations, but having a fragile life.
"Well, it seems that this is really important to you. No wonder you fell for it. However, have you ever thought about when Geresco was born and when the Dragon of Destruction fell? How would he know about that battle that only the two parties involved knew about? " Of course, Lin Li didn't believe that Nefa couldn't see the problem, but he was curious about how Geresco explained it.
"In the beginning, of course I didn't believe what he said, but later on, he mentioned some details about that battle just like Old Rogge. Although it wasn't important, it was enough to prove that he really knew about it." At this point, Nefa turned to look at Rogge. Thinking about his tragic experience of being chased by the Flame Dragon Lothar, he was instantly infuriated. He angrily said, "Old Rogge, you should have recovered from your injuries after resting for so long. Don't forget that I was the one who stood in front of you back then. Shouldn't you tell me what you know now?"
"I didn't expect you to stand in front of me back then. That's a little different from your character." Rogge's eyes were still closed, and his tone was a little sarcastic. However, it was obvious that he didn't have any ill intentions.
In fact, when Rogge saw Nefa's huge dragon body standing in front of him, he was as surprised as seeing the sun rise from the west. Although part of it was because of a deal, the fact that Nefa could make such a choice in such a critical situation was not something that could be brushed off with a simple deal.
Although they had been enemies for more than 1,000 years, and Rogge knew that Nefa had brought a serious disaster to the Darkness Shrine when he was asleep, Nefa was no longer an enemy that Rogge wanted to get rid of after they fought against the Flame Dragon Lothar together.
"Hmph, if it wasn't because I wanted to know about that battle back then, your life or death wouldn't have anything to do with me," Nefa said straightforwardly.
"That's true, but I'm still very curious. How can you be so sure that what I said would be useful to you? What if I heard everything from Geresco?" Rogge finally opened his eyes, and there was a hint of mockery in his gaze.
Rogge had heard the conversation between Nefa and Lin Li just now, and he was even more shocked when he heard Nefa say that Geresco seemed to know about that battle. However, he couldn't remember telling Geresco about that matter, and he didn't even reveal anything to anyone. How did Geresco know about it?
"What's wrong with that? I can verify it with you. Geresco might lie to me, but there's no reason for him to lie to you. Weren't you the closest comrades-in-arms back then?" Nefa had obviously considered this problem long ago, and wasn't bothered by Rogge's words.
"Alright, about that matter, how did Geresco tell you? I'd like to hear what you know first." Rogge searched his memory, but he couldn't remember when he had revealed what happened back then. However, it had been too long, after all. No matter how good a Sanctuary powerhouse's memory was, it was impossible for him to remember every day that happened thousands of years ago.
Nefa definitely wouldn't have agreed to Rogge's request in the past. This was the most effective way for him to prove that Rogge wasn't lying. Once he told Roger everything he knew, he would have no choice but to be fooled by Roger if he continued to make things up on this basis.
However, after this battle together, Nefa trusted Rogge a little more even though he wasn't willing to admit that he was a comrade-in-arms with Rogge. Hence, after hesitating for a moment, Nefa cast aside his worries, and told Rogge everything he knew.
