Chapter 83: Do you want me to help you seize power or destroy the country? She must love...
The red wind dragon was originally indifferent to the humans walking towards him.
But when he listened to the human talk about his fantasies every midnight, for a moment, he couldn't tell whether the human was here to laugh at him or was a puppet sent by the black dragon Godwin Caesar to find out his true thoughts.
Countless speculations flashed through Quick's mind, but in the end, he still couldn't suppress the fantasy that emerged in his heart: Maybe there was a one in ten thousand chance that this human was really here to help him escape.
For this reason, Quick finally raised his eyelids and condescended to take a look at the human in front of him.
When Shen Jiang saw his reaction, she knew that he must be moved.
She didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly stated her purpose: "I have a way to do all this and set you free, provided that -"
Quick's huge dragon eyes stared at the small patch of grass in front of the human's feet without blinking, and his heart couldn't help but pause and tremble with the human's words.
"You must sign a contract with me, become my disciple, and work for me willingly."
"Get lost!" Wind Dragon Quick suddenly raised his head, his pupils shrunken to the point of needles, filled with resentment and resentment. He was the Black Dragon's captive because of his lack of strength, but the Black Dragon had done nothing to him except limit his power. If he were reduced to a human's apprentice, he would truly be a disgrace to the dragon race.
"If the Black Dragon Godwin knew that a human dared to dream of making one of his kind his disciple, he would definitely kill you!" roared the Wind Dragon Quick.
Priest, the son of the vampire clan, was originally strolling around and relaxing. Upon hearing the unusual movement, he immediately flashed to Shen Jiang's side and said, "Madam, I am happy to serve you, if you need anything. One potion will suffice."
When Quick saw this guy, he felt even more resentful, but his body shrank unconsciously.
He arrived just in time.
"Priest, son of the blood clan." She turned her head to look at Priest, "As my indentured disciple, tell me how I treat you."
Priest: “…It’s okay.”
Shen Jiang sent him a one-sided message in his mind: "Do you know how much effort it takes me to make a potion? Do you want Julong to be your subordinate? If so, tell me nicely."
Priest's eyes lit up, and he smiled wickedly. "That's certainly quite good. This lady is a very powerful potion witch, having awakened both light and wood magic. Her future is limitless. One can only imagine the character of a human who has awakened light magic. Furthermore, she never forces a pawnee to do anything they don't want to do. She is always fair and just, rewarding her for her work. She is undoubtedly the best pawnee in the world."
Shen Jiang was so flattered by his seemingly real and fake flattery that she almost dug her toes into the ground. When she thought about how she usually praised Heilong in this way, she couldn't help but think that Heilong had a strong psychological quality and was very receptive to any flattery.
Feng Long still had the same attitude, and said in a cold tone: "Get lost! Human's running dog!"
"How do you talk to your grandfather like that?" Priest said angrily.
He raised his foot to kick the red dragon, but was stopped by Shen Jiang.
Shen Jiang patiently tried to persuade the stubborn wind dragon, "Your parents haven't redeemed you in six months. Do you think you still have a chance to leave? Don't forget why you came here. Lord Godwin dotes on me. After all, I'm the only believer he's ever personally acknowledged. Only I can free you."
Quick hesitated for a second, then said, "Dragons will never be slaves!"
Seeing him wavering, Shen Jiang added a bargaining chip: "This is your last chance. As my indentured disciple, all you have to do is work for me. Not only will you be paid, but you'll also receive vacation time and be released early. Are you really not going to consider it?"
Shen Jiang placed the magic crystal he bought from the crystal shop in front of Feng Long.
Quick couldn't help but stare at the magic stone that contained extremely rich energy with his dragon eyes wide open: "Is this what you call reward?"
Shen Jiang thought to himself, it can’t be that serious, isn’t it just a magic stone of slightly outstanding quality? Why is he so excited that his voice is trembling.
Little did she know that the magic stone in her hand was extremely genuine and pure. It was a crystal that contained magical energy for tens of thousands of years. It was rarer and more powerful than any magic stone that Wind Dragon Quick had ever seen.
Quick quickly recovered his composure and asked calmly, "Allow me to be free and return the Philosopher's Stone as a reward. I don't believe this world will give away gems for nothing. Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"
Is it revenge? Seizing power? Or destroying the country?
Shen Jiang swallowed the words he wanted to say, and his face was full of complicated expressions.
She knew this Red Dragon was a man of unrepentant nature, always spouting earth-shattering conspiracies, his dark attributes practically at their peak. Without making him her disciple and giving him a death order not to harm anyone, she truly didn't dare hire him.
No, there must be something wrong.
Shen Jiang retracted the crystal and walked away, completely ignoring the red dragon roaring and trying to bargain behind him, and walked towards the top of the mountain.
Because at this time, she had already seen the huge and ferocious figure of the black dragon hovering in the sky.
"Lord Godwin, I would like to give you this magic stone." Shen Jiang appeared respectful, but was actually testing you.
Black Dragon Godwin had one good point: he prided himself on being powerful and considered everyone else trash. He disdained to resort to any underhanded tactics, so while he acted arrogantly, he could be described as being aboveboard.
Sure enough, Shen Jiang heard Godwin exclaim in surprise, "Where did you get this Philosopher's Stone?"
Shen Jiang pretended to be confused: "Is there anything special about this magic stone?"
Forgive her for not being able to see.
Godwin choked at her question. He was about to lecture her about studying magic, but then he remembered the blow he had just dealt her today. Now that the believer had finally mustered up the courage to offer him a rare Philosopher's Stone, it would be unkind of him to reprimand them.
Godwin took a deep breath and explained in a gentle voice, "The Philosopher's Stone has levels, just like magical creatures. Low-level magical creatures are not qualified to explore the magical level of magical creatures or stones that are above their own level."
Shen Jiang remembered that she had studied this as basic knowledge in the magic book. Therefore, the magic stone worth 40 yuan in her hand must have exceeded her detection level as a junior magician.
Shen Jiang was even more curious now. "Lord Godwin, what level is the Philosopher's Stone in my hand?"
Under Shen Jiang's eager gaze, Godwin continued, "Where did you get this magic stone? It has pure power close to my level. It's rich, but not much. You should save it for when you break through."
Shen Jiang shook her head repeatedly. How could she dare to take back something she had given to her ancestors? Besides, this thing only cost 40 yuan. How could she feel reluctant to part with it?
She was planning to wholesale a bunch of them, so there was no need to pretend to be reluctant.
"This is the gift I give you. Don't worry, I will continue to look for such a magic stone for you." Shen Jiang's face was full of an expression that said, "Please accept it, ancestor. I am totally willing to give it away."
Seeing that she was unwilling to explain the origin of the Philosopher's Stone, and thinking of her mysterious comings and goings, Godwin couldn't help but become curious about where she came from.
But none of this mattered. Seeing the believer's devotion in offering the Philosopher's Stone to him, even a fierce dragon like Godwin, with a heart of stone, felt somewhat moved. Although he couldn't reciprocate the believer's wishes, he could show some dragon-like friendliness to his believer.
"You gave me a Philosopher's Stone of great value. I can grant you one reasonable wish."
Shen Jiang hesitated for a while before tentatively asking, "Can I take that red dragon, Quick, as my disciple?"
Godwin was stunned, as if he had not anticipated such a bold request from his followers. Clearly, allowing a fellow dragon to become a bonded disciple to a human would inevitably stir up trouble among the dragon clan.
This human always did things unconventionally, but Godwin suddenly understood why she did it; it was all for him.
Her strength was limited, and human life was like morning dew. If she didn't resort to such extreme measures, no matter how hard she tried to learn magic, she would never be able to reach a level that matched her own.
His followers always adhered to their duties and never made any unreasonable requests. If it weren't for him, they would never have done this. What she lacked in strength, she made up for in intelligence. It turned out that she had been working hard in places where he couldn't see.
Seeing the believer's slightly uneasy expression, Godwin changed his words and said, "Of course."
Shen Jiang looked up, his eyes wide open in slight surprise.
She didn't expect that the black dragon Godwin would be so easy to talk to. She had originally planned to go back and get a bag of her magic crystals to lure the black dragon.
Shen Jiang said happily, "Don't worry, I won't let Fenglong do anything that harms the world, nor will I drag him to seek revenge and destroy the country."
Of course he knew that she was a very kind person, just by looking at how she treated his servants.
"Just do what you want, it's okay." If anything goes wrong, he will cover it.
"That's great. I want him to help me blow down the red dates and longans on Dragon Island and collect them, those miscellaneous fruits. Since you agree, I can do it boldly." Shen Jiang said with a smile.
Godwin: ...
Are they talking about the same thing?
I shouldn't have agreed to her nonsense.
If the news got out, he wouldn't care, but Quick would probably die of shame.
But words are as good as deeds, and Godwin could not break his promise. In the end, under the death gaze of the black-faced Godwin, the wind dragon Quick faced the choice of remaining a captive or dying, and was forced to choose to become a human apprentice.
He had a premonition that Godwin would really choose to kill himself in order to make his believers give up.
The first order Shen Jiang gave to his new disciples was the same as the one he gave to Priest: do not kill humans and do not harm Ellis and others.
Quick also pleaded with her in a firm voice: "Don't let others know that I am your indentured disciple."
By the time the group finished moving, it was still early. The red dragon, freed from Godwin's metal circle, was like a magpie that had been reborn, and the whole dragon was full of joy.
Until Godwin's lackey led him to a grove of trees covered with red, shrunken fruits. He pointed at the fruits that he had never even glanced at and said, "Use your wind magic to help me pick them and gather them together."
Quick looked at the human in disbelief: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Shen Jiang raised five fingers and said, "If you collect all the fruits in this orchard and the other orchard before sunset, your reward will be five magic stones."
"This is easy." Quick was indignant that his great wind magic had fallen to this point.
If Catherine and Ellis were to do all this work, it would take at least half a month. Shen Jiang just wanted to take this opportunity to see how accurately high-level wind magic could be controlled.
In Shen Jiang's opinion, big killer moves like whirlwind and tornado are nothing, but if one can control every gust of wind to the extreme, such as cutting off the red dates from the tree with an air blade without any damage to the ground, and using a whirlwind to collect them directly in the air without damaging the fruit trees, then he can really reach the pinnacle of skill.
Quick: "Do you think such a request can stump the genius dragon Quick?"
Quick chanted dragon magic in a low voice, with a look of ease and disdain in his eyes.
Soon, his face turned from black to red and then to white.
Quick then realized that he had just recovered his strength and it was quite a challenge to perform this kind of magic that could both destroy and protect.
