Chapter 8 Negotiation!



"Huh? You can actually speak the common language?" Wilmes showed a surprised expression.

Although she was imprisoned in the lowest level of the Mage Tower as soon as she passed through the portal, she realized that this was not the familiar Feren.

But it is another completely different magical world.

Especially, the existence of the magic network cannot be felt in the surrounding environment at all, which is simply the best evidence.

The red dragon once tried to intimidate and threaten the apprentices who took blood from him, but found that the other party could not understand the common language at all.

The apprentices also used a completely different language system when talking to each other.

Of course, this is nothing to be surprised about for Feren, which is connected to the multiverse.

After all, in the forgotten kingdom, intelligent creatures would travel to other worlds almost every day due to various reasons and accidents, either actively or passively.

Likewise, many creatures from other worlds will cross over to Faerun.

Some powerful spellcasters even maintain close contacts and exchanges with powerful spellcasters in other magical worlds.

But now, suddenly hearing the common language of the continent of Faerun spoken clearly from the mouth of a boy from another world, Wilmes began to feel that something was wrong.

However, Zuo Si obviously did not intend to waste his precious time answering these irrelevant questions.

He gave a casual explanation, and then began to describe the situation of the entire Mage Tower and even the floating city outside before and after the outbreak of the plague.

However, Zuo Si secretly hid the fact that he was the source of the plague.

When the red dragon heard that the necromancer who had attacked and imprisoned him had disappeared, and that those apprentices who had taken dragon blood from his body and offended his authority had all died, he could not help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Good thing they died! It was such a bargain for them!"

"Yeah, it's really a bargain for them."

Zuo Si nodded, pretending to agree with it.

Even though the huge beast was currently restrained, he was still very careful to keep a safe distance and didn't dare to get too close.

Who knows if this red dragon will suddenly attack, opening its mouth and spewing out a deadly cone of flaming breath.

You should know that the breath of an adult red dragon can easily melt most metals and even rocks, and can even directly destroy magical items.

But Wilmeslu didn't care about these.

She was a proud and conceited person, and had long been accustomed to the fear and awe shown by mortals towards her.

What’s more, the person in front of him is still a “little kid” who is not yet an adult.

However, she obviously ignored the two corpse-like creatures near the entrance that were killed by "Little Guy".

Zuo Si might not be considered powerful and could not be compared with a great necromancer like Asta, but he was definitely not a weakling.

At least in this tower, not many apprentices dared to despise the strange inventions, magical creations and potions he carried with him.

The female red dragon stared at me with two lava-like eyes, her mouth slightly curled up, and she ordered in a tone full of playfulness and arrogance: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and untie the magic restraints on me! After the great Wilmes regains his freedom, he may consider sparing your life and kindly allow you to become my slave or servant."

As the last word fell!

An overwhelming and astonishing aura was released from the red dragon's body.

Zuo Si only felt that the muscles all over his body were uncontrollably tense and stiff, as if he was cast under a spell of immobilization, and even his breathing stopped.

fortunately!

This state of shock did not last long. He broke free with his own willpower, and a strong sense of vigilance and fear flashed in his eyes.

Zuo Si was not sure whether the terrifying aura just now was the legendary "Dragon's Might (ferocious aura)" or some other kind of innate magic and ability.

You should know that in the Forgotten Realms, all true dragons are born spellcasters.

They are like warlocks. They don't need to learn anything at all to master many high-level spells that make mages envious and hate.

Many spellcasters work hard throughout their lives, but may not be able to reach this level before they die.

Realizing that this "negotiation" might be more troublesome than he had expected, Zuo Si immediately took a deep breath, forced himself to stay calm and rational, and bowed again.

"Thank you for your generosity and kindness. It is an honor for a small mortal like me to serve such a great being as you. But before that, I hope to sign a binding magical contract to ensure the interests of both parties. After all, only if we work together can we get rid of those troublesome guards on the road to the upper level."

"Magic contract?"

A look of surprise appeared on Wilmes' face.

She really didn't expect that this "little guy" in front of her could come up with such a good thing.

After all, making a powerful red dragon that naturally loves chaos abide by the agreement is definitely not something that can be achieved with just any ordinary magic contract.

"That's right. I have written all the terms in advance. You just need to make a statement of agreement and the contract will take effect immediately."

As he spoke, Zuo Si took out a scroll made of unknown leather from his bag.

Unlike those magic scrolls that were made no more than two or three years ago, this pale yellow scroll was obviously quite old.

The moment it was spread out, a large and horrifying blood-red mysterious symbol was instantly revealed.

Anyone who sees these symbols will immediately convert them into the words that they are most familiar with and easiest to understand in their minds.

Wilmes only took a quick glance and immediately understood that if he signed the contract and violated any of the terms, the terrible curse contained in the scroll would take effect.

At that time, all the treasures in her lair will be instantly and randomly teleported to an unknown place.

For a greedy red dragon that values ​​money above all else, this price is absolutely unbearable.

Therefore, the smug look on Wilmes' face in the previous second was replaced by anger and rage in the next second.

She opened her big mouth full of fangs, spewing sparks from her nostrils and throat, and threatened in a harsh voice: "Damn little bug! How dare you negotiate with the great Wilmes! I order you to remove the magic restraints immediately! Otherwise, the moment I regain my freedom will be the day of your death!"

Before he finished speaking!

Boom!

Suddenly there was a loud noise and violent vibration from the upper floors of the tower.

At the same time, the binding magic circles on the ground that were flickering with a faint light suddenly became dimmer.

not good!

Zuo Si's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He understood that this was a sign of excessive energy consumption.

The constant attacks from the undead creatures outside are consuming the reserves of the Mage Tower at a very fast rate.

So much so that they had to start reducing the supply of magical energy to maintain the binding circle in order to convert this energy into offensive spells to kill and repel the undead creatures that tried to rush in.

The red dragon undoubtedly also noticed that the restraints on his body were weakening, and slowly stood up from the ground, with a cat-playing-with-mouse light in his eyes.

"Ah! It seems I have no use for you, does it?

You just mentioned that there are hordes of undead creatures outside, which will quickly deplete the energy of the Mage Tower.

By that time, there will be nothing that can stop the great Vermes from destroying everything.

Both this tower and the entire floating city will become the property of the great Vermes.

As for you, you treacherous little creature.

I will let you experience the most painful and desperate way of death..."
