Chapter 112 The price of teasing a dragon is death
The black magician had seen Godwin in human form and knew that he was not very old. Moreover, the other party had believed his lies from the beginning. Therefore, the black magician concluded that the evil dragon in front of him was just a simple-minded guy with strong limbs.
As long as Black Dragon is willing to be fooled again, he will definitely find a chance of survival.
"Lord Black Dragon, the effects of rare potions are incomparable to those of ordinary potions. Of course, to refine rare potions, one must pay a special price. If you find it difficult, we can try the effects of ordinary potions first."
The black magician suddenly found a new opportunity for himself. Yes, if the potion he made up casually had no effect, he could easily make an excuse and say that it was because the materials were not top-notch enough.
The expression on the black magician's face gradually relaxed, and he was no longer as panicked as he was at the beginning.
The old man's face was drooping, and Godwin could see clearly the smug micro-expression on his face.
Godwin's face turned cold, and he realized belatedly that he seemed to have been fooled by despicable humans.
Shen Jiang arrived in a different world, bleary-eyed and flustered, dark circles under her eyes. Her biological clock had been disrupted, her sweet dreams disturbed by the dragon, and she felt rather listless.
Lord Black Dragon was probably still busy outside searching for treasure. On the vast earthen slope, apart from the dragon blood trees, there was only the whistling of the wind, like the intermittent sobbing of a person, cold and desolate.
It was the height of winter, and while there wasn't a blanket of snow here, the sudden drop in temperature was making Shen Jiang uncomfortable. She sneezed loudly and violently. She quickly pulled out her thick, warm down jacket and pulled out the magic scroll Xiao Pu had given her. Just as she was about to leave for Duogang City to join Ellis and the others, she heard a sinister voice: "You're here."
A voice suddenly rang out from behind, startling Shen Jiang. The large black dragon, who had appeared out of nowhere, said this and left. When Shen Jiang turned around, he saw the black dragon's aloof figure walking in a certain direction.
Shen Jiang hurried to catch up, but she had no idea what was wrong with Lord Black Dragon. She could sense that he was in a particularly low mood today. Black Dragon had been out fighting all day these days, and when they video-called him this morning, Godwin had seemed quite cheerful.
Could it be that he met a troublemaker outside and lost the fight?
This is difficult to coax, after all, the big boss seems to have never lost to anyone in a fight before.
Shen Jiang took out a hat and scarf from the space, followed the black dragon and put them on while walking. He thought as he walked, and soon found that the huge black shadow in front of him had stopped.
Shen Jiang poked his head out from beside the black dragon and saw an old man, tortured to death, tied to a tree. His clothes were very thin, and his exposed hands and feet were covered with burns. The grumbling sound coming from his mouth was exactly what Shen Jiang had initially thought was the sound of the shrill wind.
Because the other party used very little magic power, Shen Jiang could tell at a glance that he was a black magician, a black magician far superior to himself. It seemed that this guy was the source of Godwin's unhappiness.
But since he has tied the people here and lets him do whatever he wants, why is Lord Black Dragon still unhappy?
Godwin seemed to have heard Shen Jiang's mood. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "This despicable human has betrayed my trust and dared to tease me. I will never forgive him easily."
Shen Jiang's face froze, and he asked cautiously, "I wonder what he did?"
Godwin naturally wouldn't tell her the truth. Without absolute assurance, he wouldn't let his followers harbor unwarranted expectations. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had the foresight to keep this plan secret from his followers. Even when things were going smoothly, he didn't let his excitement get the better of him.
"Hmph, teasing and deceiving the dragon is a crime worthy of death no matter what you do!" When Godwin thought about how he was fooled by this guy, he instantly exhaled a stream of white air.
Shen Jiang told herself to stay calm. No matter what the man did, she must not panic! She must not let the fire burn her head!
Godwin raised his chin with great pride: "I'll give you one last chance. Tell me, what do you see in her?"
The man's scattered eyes focused again. He looked at the giant dragon and the strangely dressed human woman in front of him. His brain, which had been slow due to hypothermia, started to work again.
"Haha, haha..." The man seemed to have discovered some incredible secret. The knowing look in his eyes made Shen Jiang's whole body go numb. He chuckled strangely, "I know, I know."
Godwin took a step forward, frowned, and asked, "What did you find?"
"Foolish dragon, I will curse you with my life!" The man tied to the tree suddenly burst out with astonishing strength, shouting at the top of his lungs: "I curse that you will never be able to break the forbidden spell on her! You will be betrayed by the one you love! You..."
Before he could finish, Godwin's sharp dragon claws instantly pierced the man's chest. With just a little force, he crushed the old heart. The man's vicious curse stopped abruptly, and a malicious and smug smile appeared on his face.
This wasn't the end. Godwin condensed the purest dragon flame and ruthlessly crushed the man to ash. In the end, even though the man was gone, something invisible twisted and swirled in the dragon flame. Shen Jiang stood there dumbfounded, as if hearing the wails of a soul from deep underground.
Shen Jiang, who was a little sleepy before, was completely awake in an instant.
The price of deceiving Black Dragon was something Shen Jiang had never dared to think about before, but now she saw it clearly. Cold sweat welled up in Shen Jiang's hat, and she didn't even dare to look up and look directly into Lord Black Dragon's eyes.
Shen Jiang wanted to escape, but she had already experienced it. No matter how far she ran, she would inevitably be sent to another world. As for staying away from Lord Black Dragon, she didn't dare.
What a smart guy he is! If she dares to disappear mysteriously, he only needs to ask the silver dragon Perrin for a few dragon scales, calculate the time, and he can find her directly without even having to spend extra effort looking for her.
"Human."
Shen Jiang suddenly came back to his senses and quickly responded, "Lord Godwin."
"You don't have to take what that guy just said to heart. He's a piece of trash."
Shen Jiang nodded, half understanding. The man's last words suddenly came to mind, and he quickly comforted Lord Godwin: "Lord Godwin, you don't have to take that guy's words to heart. I will use the power of light to cleanse you of the filth now."
Godwin waved his hand: "No need."
He knew her intentions. With her piety and loyalty, even if everyone in the world betrayed him, his believers would not betray him.
The reason why Godwin was so confident was not because he had used Aphrodite to test the human heart, but because he could see and feel, and what humans did moved him little by little, and he believed that his judgment would not be wrong.
Shen Jiang silently accompanied Lord Black Dragon for a while, preparing herself mentally. As soon as Lord Black Dragon left, she immediately activated her magic scroll and headed for Duogang City. Unaware of Ellis's recruitment progress, Shen Jiang focused her attention on the matter.
It was nothing. Right now, all she could think about was Lord Black Dragon's harsh method of burning people. She urgently needed something to divert her attention.
Shen Jiang arrived an hour later than scheduled. Luckily, Ellis was very flexible and left Catherine and Beatrice waiting for the Witch near the teleportation array while he went to gather his chosen new companions.
Ellis strictly controlled the number of people this time and only selected 10 people, 7 of whom were orcs and 3 were ordinary humans. At that time, he and Catherine would each lead five newcomers, which would be enough to lead the team and prevent any sudden accidents.
The newcomers were all looking forward to meeting their new leader. After all, they had already seen the methods of Ellis and others, and Ellis, the one they spoke of with respect, was said to be coming in person today to assess them.
I heard that he was a very important person, and all their remuneration would be provided by her.
After everyone stretched their necks to the limit, they finally saw a young girl. What surprised everyone even more was that after removing the scarf covering her head and face, they found that the person in front of them was a girl with black hair and black eyes.
Everyone present looked at each other in confusion, but fortunately they did not lose their composure too much and maintained a reaction that satisfied Shen Jiang.
She was feeling a little restless at first, but when she saw that the candidates chosen by Ellis were quite calm and composed, she couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.
If these people reacted calmly upon seeing her, then there's no need to mention how terrified they would be upon seeing Lord Black Dragon.
Godwin flew towards the hilltop where the silver dragon Perrin was. He needed Perrin's magic word; he didn't have the patience to play truth or dare with humans anymore. Unfortunately, Perrin had disappeared somewhere else, leaving only a magic message at his door. Godwin triggered the magic bubble.
"Welcome to the home of Silver Dragon Perrin. Unfortunately, I'm away on a long trip these days. If there's an emergency, please come back in three days."
Godwin: ...
This guy's style is just like that, it's almost the same as saying nothing.
Godwin went back to Dragon Mountain to look for his believer, but he found that he was not there. There was a silence on Dragon Mountain that Godwin was not used to. He remembered that the last time he appeared in front of his believer in human form, the believer was selecting a suitable weeder for him in the human city.
Godwin took out the magic mirror without hesitation.
A moment later, a black dragon flew towards the direction of the human country it had visited last time.
