Unscrupulous businessman?



Unscrupulous businessman?

Even though I've seen all kinds of bloodline abilities so many times, this weird scene still makes people feel numb.

The whole place was silent, except for the young man who had just recovered and stood up, not caring about his injuries at all. His handsome face was filled with a smile, like a devil crawling out of hell.

What's going on? Why are they just looking at me without saying anything? And the plan hasn't failed?

The red-haired young man looked around with a hint of confusion in his eyes. As he expected, the monsters living in the river would not be afraid of erosion and could easily cross the river by stepping on them.

Everything is perfect, why do these people look like they have seen a ghost?

Aurelius was puzzled.

After this battle, the red-haired young man had a new name among the Dragonborn: [Demon King].

The powerful strength slightly improved the Dragonborn, who didn't know whether to laugh or sigh.

I'm really not a villain, why are you calling me that?!

In order to reduce the number of troublemakers, the red-haired young man accepted the title. The young dragonborn who had always been looking for trouble also backed off and was completely convinced.

A few days later, the Dragonborn found Oreius again.

Fielding did not come this time, only the tall man and the pale girl came to visit. They politely invited Oreius to sit down and brewed the best tea. After the young man took a sip, the tall man began to introduce himself.

"I forgot to introduce you last time. This is Arnold. She can build contracts. We hope to sign a mutual assistance contract with you."

Forgetting the introduction was a lie, but testing her strength was real. The red-haired young man looked up lazily, and the girl's already pale face seemed transparent. She looked at the young man in front of her with some fear, and spoke as fast as possible.

"Are you willing to sign a contract with the Dragonborn?"

"no problem."

Aureus agreed readily. Arnold quickly took out a piece of parchment, and her pupils turned into those of a goat. She handed the contract to Aureus and reminded him dutifully: "Please read this contract carefully. If there are no problems, sign your name at the end."

The parchment was painted with exquisite patterns and the cursive words were gorgeous and smooth. The content of the contract was very simple. Both parties must not betray each other and must help each other. Oleus read it carefully and signed his name directly. The tall man took the place of the dragonborn and wrote on the other side. After all the signatures were completed, Arnold picked up the parchment and a blue flame ignited in the air——

Then, in full view of everyone, the burning fire awkwardly stopped.

Tall man: "......"

Oreius: "......"

Arnold: “…”

The girl looked like she was about to cry, and she tried very hard to mobilize her strength. The flames did not move at all, and seemed to be solidifying here.

The tall man had a blank expression on his face, and it looked as if ink was about to drip out. Feeling his companion's displeasure, Arnold's body trembled, and he worked harder to drive the flame.

Orelius looked at her with sympathy. If she brought shame to the proud dragon descendants when she went out, wouldn't she be criticized when she returned?

He tried to smooth things over: "You can take this back. You don't have to sign it here. I trust your character."

Arno looked at him gratefully and quickly put away the parchment. Both sides were a little embarrassed by what happened. The tall man had a blank expression on his face, but he exuded a charming aura. Oleus rode down the hill on a donkey. After a few words of greeting, he got up and returned to his room.

After he left, the tall man looked at Arnold, who shrank back and said, "I can't control him."

"Then let's just fulfill the most basic contract."

Arno felt as if he had been pardoned and erased the patterns around the parchment. After losing the additional clause, the flame finally burned with difficulty. As the parchment turned into ashes, an invisible connection was established between the two parties of the contract. Arno breathed a sigh of relief and left impatiently.

"This little guy, do you really think I can't recognize you?"

You know, the godhood of the profiteer comes from a devil lord, how could he not recognize the devil's contract. This kind of contract is notorious, and you always have to be careful of those strange patterns. Because you never know which sentence is decoration and which sentence is added by the devil.

It is easy to break this constraint. Just don't sign it from the beginning, or use a higher tier to crush it.

The stars in the sea of ​​subconsciousness dimmed. To sign a contract with a godhead, one must at least be of the same level. Given the girl's reckless behavior, it was not surprising that she exploded on the spot.

Oleus gave the Dragonborn a favor and simply invalidated the contract. As long as they didn't have any bad intentions, they could sign a new contract. If they still wanted to do something weird, the red-haired young man wouldn't mind changing the plan and teaching them a lesson.

Fortunately, the dragonborns received this kind of kindness and tacitly put away their little tricks. The attitude of ordinary dragonborns has also improved. At least when walking in the camp, Oleus no longer needs to worry about being hit by a club at any time.

With the problem of the Eroded River solved, the Dragonborn spent a few days organizing a reconnaissance team and planned to go to the other side of the river to see the situation.

Oleus naturally went with them. Coincidentally, he knew many members of this team. It seemed that the dragonborn had something to hide, so they took advantage of the situation to curry favor with him.

Crossing the river on the bridge built by the monsters' flesh and blood, the dragonborns' expressions became more serious. Only by walking on it in person can one realize how incredible this power is. The width of the river is far beyond their imagination. To control so many monsters is even more difficult. This makes them look at the red-haired young man with awe.

The road after the long river is not easy either. The City of Insects has set up countless traps here and summoned many monsters. If you try to pass them one by one, the whole team will be wiped out and cannot reach the City of Insects.

Orelius saw their actions, shook his head secretly, and spoke out to interrupt the dragonborn's attempts.

"Come with me, there will be no problem as long as you follow me."

The red-haired young man was just taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, his graceful figure moving back and forth among the traps.

How come he was the only one who was fine? Was it because they were just unlucky and all the places they stepped on were traps?

The youngest dragonborn in the team didn't believe it, so he carefully stepped somewhere else. The originally flat ground suddenly sank, revealing a pair of sharp giant claws.

Aurelius glanced back and said, "I suggest you run."

"This thing is so weak, why are you running? You are too cowardly."

"I told you to run away not because it's dangerous, but because there are so many of them."

As soon as the words fell, the entire earth shook. Countless giant red ants emerged from the ground and attacked them. The number of them was enough to kill anyone with claustrophobia. The team was quiet for a few seconds, and then the pot exploded.

“Run!”

Someone yelled, and everyone started running away. They then realized that the red-haired young man had already run to the front, and it seemed that he had expected it.

Oreus turned left and right, and with the help of the terrain, he quickly got rid of the giant red ant behind him and led the team to the swamp smoothly. The gray swamp was full of reeds, and bubbles and bursts of yellow-brown gas were emitted from time to time in the stagnant water. When the team stepped into this land of death, everyone was on high alert.

The red-haired young man warned: "No matter what happens next, don't attack any monsters and don't do anything extreme."

Following his reminder, the Dragonborn were ready, and watched as a strange figure jumped out of the swamp.

One, two, three.

They look small and cute, with emerald green skin that is almost transparent. The pink organs inside their bodies can be seen. The little frogs stare at them, looking quite harmless.

"Follow me and don't touch these poison frogs."

The red-haired young man walked into the swamp without hesitation. The poison frogs seemed to have made an agreement with him in advance, watching him pass through without any reaction. The dragonborns could not help but sigh inwardly at his courage, and at the same time, they were curious about how the other party knew they would not be attacked.

They followed. The further they went, the more these poison frogs changed. If they could be described as cute just now, their appearance might be a bit insulting now. A giant frog half a man's height squatted in the swamp, staring at the intruder with its cloudy and dull eyes. Its chin was covered with dense vesicles, which made people itch just by looking at it.

Oleus did not retreat but advanced. Seeing the astonishing number of frogs and the young man running towards them, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Considering the previous experience, they followed them reluctantly. As the distance shortened, the giant frogs croaked, and the dragonborns became alert and unconsciously put their hands on their weapons. They saw a giant frog leaping high towards them. The dragonborn standing there held the knife, his eyebrows twitching wildly -

“Quack, quack!”

The giant frogs kept calling and jumping towards them. The red giant ants rushed over and waved their forelimbs, but they couldn't pierce the smooth skin of the poison frogs. The other side could swallow a bunch of giant ants with a roll of its long tongue.

The dragonborn, who had been holding the knife, had a stiff expression and slowly exhaled a long breath. He was about to attack just now, but thinking of Oleus' words, he forcibly held back his impulse.

At this moment, the lazy voice of the red-haired young man floated over.

"Don't worry. The poison frogs and giant red ants in this swamp are mortal enemies. The poison frogs feed on giant red ants, and the latter like to feed their larvae with poison frog eggs. So as long as they see the other side, they will kill them first. We are just a supplement to them. They don't care about us."

"How do you know that?"

Orelius smiled but said nothing. He relied on a vest to cheat, which was something only he could do.

Under the leadership of Oleus, the group passed through many obstacles and defeated many enemies. Whether it was the countless monsters or the man-made traps, they were all easily broken by the red-haired young man.

If at the beginning some people wanted to challenge the other party's authority, then after repeated bloody proofs, as soon as they heard the other party say "Follow me", the whole team gave up their minds.

Dead bodies that are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, earthworms that burrow into people's ears, flying snakes with wings, and giant lions as tall as three people...

No matter what kind of monsters or traps come, the red-haired young man can easily deal with them.

Although I don’t know how the other party did it, but isn’t it nice to have a ready-made meal?

"It's up to you now. There are no shortcuts along this route. You must avoid the patrol's eyes."

"Leave it to us!"

The dragon descendants finally had the opportunity to show their strength, and they reacted excitedly, eager to take action right away.

The shadow under the tall man's feet suddenly expanded and swallowed everyone. The surrounding scenery suddenly lost its color, and its shape became distorted and blurred. Countless monsters swam everywhere, more disordered than what was seen from the outside world.

This move is very similar to Shaken's bloodline ability, but the latter cannot be transmitted on such a large scale. The advantages of alien bloodlines are fully demonstrated here, and they are born to stand at the top.

The appearance of fresh life in the Shadow Realm immediately drove these monsters crazy. A dragon roar suppressed them abruptly, and the tall man turned into a gray dragon, coldly warning all the monsters in the Shadow Realm.

Even in the shadow world, dragons are still a symbol of power. The hunters reluctantly chose to retreat. While the situation was stable, the huge dragon spoke in human language: "Come up."

The remaining people boarded the dragon one after another. The shadow dragon flapped its wings and flew into the sky, flying at a high speed towards the direction of the Insect City.

Looking from a high place, the surrounding situation becomes clearer and clearer. The most eye-catching thing is the surging tide in the distance. It is like a wound in the world.

The shadow dragon's deep voice came from below: "That is the collapsed shadow world."

"After the main plane entered the Black Mist Era, all magical elements disappeared. The subsidiary planes that lived on it were affected, and a large number of elements were swallowed by the main plane, and eventually collapsed. The collapsed boundaries were affected by the storms in the outside space, forming a tide that destroyed everything. Even the most powerful shadow creatures would not approach there."

"Except for the Shadow Realm, the Abyss, Hell, the major elemental planes... the situation of all the subordinate planes is similar. It is a catastrophe of destruction. Demons died in the chaos of war, devils survived by any means, elementals self-destructed to make up for the loss of the elemental plane, fairies sang elegy, and dragons challenged the fate of destruction..."

Before the end of the world, all things are equal. Death and destruction become the main theme of the end of the era.

Afterwards, all major races became extinct, and only humans continued to survive and face greater crises. Those creatures who created countless glories could only survive in the world through hybrids, barely becoming legends in people's memories.

Shadow Dragon retracted his gaze. The Shadow Plane was as familiar to him as going home. There was no risk of getting lost. In his perception, there was a huge creature in the west. Its aura enveloped the entire city, and it regarded it as its own forbidden food. Any monster would flee far away once it felt threatened by the other party. And this was Shadow Dragon's destination.

By passing through the Shadow Realm, they can break through the cordon and appear directly in the opponent's camp. The gray-white dragon was about to land, and the red-haired young man on its back suddenly said: "Wait, be careful of the bugs."

Bugs?

At his reminder, Shadow Dragon observed carefully and found that there was a layer of very small insects attached to the ground and buildings. They blended into the environment and were extremely difficult to detect.

"What should I do?"

Once it landed, it would definitely be discovered by the other party. The shadow dragon hovered in the air, a little undecided. The red-haired young man was not in a hurry, staring at the terrifying monster crawling on the ground. A breath rose from the city, avoiding those alert flying insects, and landed steadily on the dragon's back.

"Sorry for the wait, Lord Orelius. I am the butler of the [——] family. The young lady and the gentleman have been waiting for you for a long time. The welcome performance is about to begin. Please step back to avoid being involved."

The newcomers gathered into a blurry figure, and knelt down to salute each other. His face was hidden behind the mist, and he was wearing a sophisticated dress from the era before the black mist. After a certain word came out of his mouth, a strange noise was formed, which was instantly forgotten by the dragon descendants.

They were shocked.

Pollution, this is the highest level of pollution. Just like the "disappearing city", it wiped out people's knowledge of this famous name from the source. It can be done to this extent. The person in front of me is just a housekeeper?

"Thank you for your help."

The red-haired young man nodded slightly, his attitude was rare and serious. This made the dragons even more curious about each other's identities and the so-called lady and gentleman. The conversation between the two was like scratching an itch, making people feel itchy. But neither Oleus nor the butler had the intention to continue talking, but cast their eyes on the city under their feet.

Shadow Dragon had no choice but to withdraw from the shadow world projection of the Insect City. He had just pulled away from the city, and saw black lines overflowing the city, tearing against the power of the original owner. The latter did not notice that someone was invading and was replaced bit by bit.

Finally, when the black line completely covered the city, an illusory figure emerged in the sky.

The dragonborn's eyes widened when he recognized who this person was. The black-robed merchant laughed deeply. A long sickle appeared in his hand and he swung it towards the entire city.

“——”

Click, click.

Something was utterly broken.
