Chapter 573 424 Ruishui Oath (Part 2)

"This is..." Darkus was put off for a moment, and then he unscrewed the lid as he spoke, "Maloch, you were too hasty and your teeth fell on the boat."

After holding the Cruel Fang in his hand, Darkus did not throw away the cylinder made of whale teeth, but slowly put it back. Just kidding, in addition to being a magical equipment, the cylinder also has collection value and historical value. It will also be excellent to display in a museum as a reference and evidence of that era.

When his eyes fell on the Cruel Fang, Maloch's pupils shrank suddenly, and then a strong fear surged into his heart. He could feel the powerful power exuded by the Cruel Fang. Even after thousands of years, the Cruel Fang still showed some irresistible control over him, especially when the Cruel Fang was held on Darkus's body. in hand. Fear caused his body to tremble, his mind to fall into chaos, and he was irresistibly attracted to the Fang of Cruelty.

Maloch tried to resist, but the force tightly bound his heart like an iron rope, making it impossible for him to escape. He felt that his will was weakening little by little, as if under invisible pressure, his heart began to collapse. Shrouded in fear and helplessness, a sense of despair arose deep in his heart. He wanted to pounce and take back the Cruel Fang, but he couldn't. Everything about him was resisting him and restraining him.

The original Elendriel was simply incomparable to the current Darkus. When the Cruel Fang was held by Darkus, Malok could feel that he could not muster the slightest resistance. He knew that he was always controlled by the Fang of Cruelty, and that this control was so powerful that he could not resist it.

Just when Maloch was about to do something, the frightening feeling of restraint for him disappeared, and the Cruel Fang disappeared from Darkus's hand, drawing a parabola in the air and rolling down to the soles of his feet. Down. When he saw the Brutal Fangs beneath his feet, he could feel freedom, he was freed from his restraints.

The next second, Maloch's forelimbs covered the Cruel Fang. Then, he raised his head and looked at Darkus in astonishment. He saw Darkus looking at him with a smiling expression. He could feel Dark's Us's friendliness, and Darkus' kindness toward him.

"Things within the elves are very complicated. It's a long story. I don't think everyone here is interested in hearing it now... I am a Druchi, at least now. Thousands of years ago, our Druchi came from the elves. Split apart, in order to fight against the fire dragons of Ulthuan, we took some measures... some methods that made you tired. Those tortured and devastated black dragons were transformed from the fire dragons.

Thousands of years ago, when elves were still walking on this land, an unprecedented war began. In order to effectively fight the dwarves and to realize their own ambitions, some of my cousins ​​found some ways. They used part of your body as a medium to bind you to the will of the elves. I don’t need to go into details about what happened at that time. Many of you here were witnesses at that time.

I can tell you clearly that there are less than fifty black dragons in Nagaros now. These black dragons do exist and cannot be ignored. Things within the elves are very complicated. I can't kill them. I'm sorry! I really can't do it. All I can do is stop hatching black dragons! Let the black dragon never appear again.

Forgot to mention, I am only thirty-six years old this year, and I have never experienced those things. To you, I am a veritable little guy? Yes, little one, but I am capable and qualified to do this!

We are now standing at the intersection of the old era and the new era, and all we can do is to stop the hatred of the past, otherwise we are destined to fall into a deeper darkness. I know...this sounds hypocritical, but I hope you can understand that I'm trying to find peace.

I obtained the Fang of Cruelty accidentally, and I can definitely say that I did use it once. I saw Malok through a medium, and after that... nothing happened after that. I reinforced his desire to stay where he was, I respected him, I didn't call out to him, I allowed him to come to me. I did not enslave him or drive him to use me, which is why I am here today!

In my opinion, you are great and brave, and my respect for you is beyond words. I know that you have experienced countless hardships and challenges, but you have never given up your pursuit and your desire for freedom. I deeply admire your strength and wisdom. You are noble beings. I firmly believe that slavery and oppression are never the solution to problems. Only freedom and unity can bring real prosperity. This is also why I am here today. s reason!

You are the land... No! It is the guardian of this world and a symbol of life and hope.

I understand that sometimes, seeking peace in the face of past hatreds and challenges can seem like a disingenuous gesture. But at this moment, we must bravely take the first step towards reconciliation and peace. I want to work with you to face the challenges of the future. I believe that with our united efforts, we can realize our dreams and create a better future together.

No matter what happened in the past, we can choose to change the future. So...please let us work together and strive for a better future. "Dakeus's voice was full of sincerity and determination. His words were not only a warning to the red dragons and elves present, but also an explanation to his own heart.

The red dragons looked at each other, their eyes full of complex emotions, including suspicion and expectation, but mostly confusion. What Darkus said broke their long-held cognition and caused them to fall into thinking and inner struggle. Some red dragons seemed to have lingering fears and were wary of Darkus. They doubted the motives of the little guy in front of them and worried that Darkus might be seeking some kind of benefit or trap.

Of course, some red dragons realize that they need to make a difficult choice. They know that no matter what, they cannot easily let go of past hatred and suspicion, but they also understand that continuing to immerse themselves in doubt will only bring more of pain and destruction.

"He...he..." Alohan's mouth opened wide, her eyes flashed with shock and admiration, and these words were like thunder and lightning in her ears.

"Dakeus..." Nestela trembled, her heartbeat accelerated, she couldn't believe her ears, her eyes shone with admiration, and a deep feeling of respect and admiration surged in her heart. . At this moment, she could feel that Darkus was so great, so kind, his words were full of wisdom and power, his mind was broad and his eyes were deep.

"That's so good, I just can't say these words..."

However, this time Kewell did not respond to Maranur, but stared at Darkus' upright back.

"Those black dragons are scattered among various families and are the backbone of the family's strength. I can't find a practical way at the moment. The only way I can do it is to prevent the black dragons from appearing again, at least for now." Darkus spread his hands helplessly. Di said to Mordax.

Darkus did not talk about the black dragon in depth, and in his opinion, the black dragon belongs to the old era and is destined not to belong to the new era. Withering and falling in the war may be the best way, unless there is some kind of creature. Transforming technology, but this will also give rise to new problems, such as political issues such as whether the elves owe us, etc., which will still be troublesome at that time.

Physical pain is real, other pain is caused by thoughts. Darkus agreed with this sentence, even if he could make the black dragon's body no longer sick and tortured. He couldn't transform the Black Dragon's mind. It was completely unfeasible. He didn't think the ancient saint's biological technology was so magical.

"He is deceiving you. The black dragon is the best proof. The black dragon is yours..." Baragos's voice sounded again, his words full of provocation and suspicion, accompanied by a trace of ridicule.

However, before Baragos could finish speaking, Splinterwin rushed towards him. He was caught off guard and felt his body sink, and was immediately knocked to the ground by a powerful impact. His body was entangled with Splinterwen's huge body, and the red dragon's powerful power burst out at this moment.

"I've put up with you for a long time! You poor smartass."

Splinterwin roared, pressing down on Baragos with his strong front paws, trying to completely suppress Baragos to the ground.

Baragos, on the other hand, was gritting his teeth and resisting, his body twisting, trying to break free from Splinterwen's restraints. His claws and tail waved, trying to hit Splinterwin's body, but Splinterwin roared ferociously, seemingly unafraid.

Two red dragons fought in the vast open space, their roars deafening, and their roars echoed throughout the Dragon Castle. Their figures were constantly intertwined and entangled, their claws tearing at each other's scales sharply, their teeth making harsh tearing sounds, and the rocks on the ground were splashed in all directions by their force. The wind blew their scales, mixed with the roar of the two red dragons, making the scene even more spectacular.

Baragos struggled hard, his eyes flashing with anger and determination. He would never let Splinterwein succeed or ruin his plan.

Splinterwen showed amazing strength and ferocity, and his eyes were also full of anger and regret. He regretted that he should not have called Baragos. He felt that Baragos' words were too confidential. He knew that allowing Baragos to continue talking would definitely lead to adverse consequences, which he did not want to see, and all his efforts would be in vain.

Baragos was still struggling with all his strength, trying to break free from Splinterwen's restraints, but Splinterwen's power was extremely powerful and did not give him any chance to breathe. His body was tightly bound by Splinterwen. His neck was also pressed tightly by Splinterwin's forelimbs. He felt like he was out of breath and couldn't breathe.

"The battle between the giant dragons was really not in vain, wasn't it? I am going to record this scene." As Tolandir said, his left hand that was not holding the bow had already reached into his arms in the gap in the armor.

"Why are the words so dense?" Darkus muttered, while constantly waving his hands to wave away the smell of sulfur that kept coming to his nostrils. Even if Mordax didn't relay it, he knew that Baragos said some inexplicable words, otherwise Splinterwin wouldn't have had such a big reaction. It was the first time he saw Splinterwein...so violent. .

"That's enough." After everything settled, Mordax hissed lightly, then she turned her head to look at Darkus, and then said, "What about the second one?"

"Second... I accidentally obtained a stone tablet not long ago, with a spell written on it, the Dragon Transformation Technique!"

"The Dragon Transformation Technique? Cathay? Those Dragon Sons?"

"Do you know much about that place?" Darkus asked with some surprise. He looked at Mordax with curiosity in his eyes. He found that Mordax was not simple. He knew about the Dragon Emperor, Asuryan and the Ancient Sage. He knew that one or two were good, but knowing them all was a bit evil. This is what the Eight Classics came from the old era of this world. . He was even a little scared. He was afraid that if the word Draxion came out of Mordax's mouth, then this would no longer be an evil sect, but something against heaven.

"I don't know as much as you think. I know what you are curious about, little one." Mordax's voice carried a maternal brilliance, full of warmth and understanding, like warm sunshine shining on the child, she There was a soft light shining in his eyes, as if telling endless care and love.

"If before we just hugged each other for warmth and everyone got what they needed, the Dragon Transformation Technique is a deep binding. Everyone who has transformed into a human can live and walk in the society of elves.

You will enjoy the rights of elf citizens and can join the army, starting as an ordinary soldier and rising through the ranks until you lead an army. Become a disciple of a certain family, and the family will provide support and provide combat power as a disciple when needed. In politics, you start from an ordinary official and slowly reach the top. But there is no need to think about it as the Phoenix King. There are necessary conditions to become the Phoenix King. I can only say sorry for this. To engage in business, use the wealth accumulated previously to invest in exchange for more returns.

Or simply enjoy life, buy a manor, research recipes and ingredients, cook your favorite food, and farm? Running a boat? poet? actor? architect? In short... you can do whatever you want, just like enjoying a period of life. When you are tired, you can go to sleep, and when you wake up, you can enjoy life again.

By then, you will be no different from the elves. While enjoying the rights of citizens, you must also fulfill your responsibilities and participate in the battle. The most important thing is that you cannot kill for no reason based on emotions and preferences, and you must abide by the law!

No matter first or second, I will not provide you with fresh and juicy elf girls for you to enjoy, I will only provide food such as pigs, cows and sheep! "

Dacus released the second condition, and at the same time he also expressed his position and made a three-chapter agreement. There are no rules without rules. He will not let the red dragon go unchecked just because it is powerful. He is Darkus, not Malekith. Some things cannot be compromised.

"Will the wild dragons in the future be like this?" Mordax asked after relaying the story.

"Of course, dear Dragon Mother, if you want."

There is no doubt that Darkus' second word is attractive to the red dragons. His words evoke the memories of the red dragons. Many of the red dragons have seen how the elves originally lived in this land. They thought of how the elves lived in this land, full of wisdom and civilization, full of spirituality and mystery.

The red dragons were attracted to becoming elves and living in the society of elves. They imagined that they could also become a member of the elves and integrate into the society of elves. This was an irresistible temptation. Living in an elven society means enjoying the nourishment of wisdom and civilization, but it is also difficult to accept. They will be bound by rules and regulations. They will face various restrictions and rules and need to follow the elves' lifestyle and values.

This sudden change is a challenge for the red dragons. They are used to flying in the sky, roaming freely on the vast land, and enjoying an unrestrained life. However, for some red dragons, this change may be worth it, because they can get a deeper experience from it, at least not as boring as now.

"Can I learn magic?"

"Of course, if you are willing, I can introduce my clan mother to you. She is our top spell caster and is proficient in the Wind of Aksha.

In addition, you can also enter the Magic Academy to study, where you will explore unknown magic areas and systematically learn spells and magic knowledge. There, there will be no difference between you and the elves.

Surely your talents and qualifications should be higher? Yes, higher! You will become the powerful red dragon warlock, unearth the secrets of history, and become a master of lore whenever you want. "

Faced with the question of the "terrible" Malatex, Darkus responded decisively. In his opinion, Malatex seemed to have a chance? The key question before was also asked by Malatex, but now Malatex asks this question out of interest.

"Army? The dragon leads the elf army? To be honest, this scene is a bit unimaginable... Of course, you can join the army as soldiers, officers, generals, and commanders. But there is no preferential treatment. Promotion depends entirely on ability, and after that There are also regular assessments, where the strong will advance and the weak will retreat.”

"Businessmen? Of course, as I said before, you can carry out trade in the elven society. We currently have many investment projects there. These projects will continuously return wealth. Or in a few hundred years, it will promote the relationship between elves and other races. Communicate and cooperate with each other, conduct business negotiations and diplomatic negotiations, such as visiting the dwarf's fortress as an elf ambassador? I think this scene will be very... I can already imagine the surprised expressions of the dwarves when they see you."

While answering, Darkus thought, he felt it was too abstract. The greedy red dragon doing business with the elves who were good at doing business was too...

"Artists? What we lack most now is artists. We need amazing works of art and literature to pass on and promote culture and traditions. If you can write a memoir from the perspective of a dragon, I think your work will definitely sell well. Your talent and creativity will bring inspiration and vitality to the elven society, allowing the elves to immerse themselves in the perspective of red dragons and enjoy the wonderful world."

"Love? Of course, love is free. If the other party is willing, I have no need to stop it. Of course... I don't think there will be a fruit of love."

"Injury? I'm not a spellcaster, I don't know much about this, but Ms. Liv mentioned to me before that your wound can be healed, and I also brought the team that healed your wound, which is right there. I believe they can heal you. Of course, if they can't, I can let the Slann magic priests of Lustria take action. I have a very good relationship with them."

It's coming, Daquus feels that it's coming, and the meeting began to become normal. He gradually entered the field he was familiar with. He kept answering and dispelling the concerns of the red dragons. He could feel that the red dragons present were generally interested in the second proposal.

"I... still don't trust this little guy. He... is too talkative. I only trust you. I join because I want to change my lifestyle." Maratx was silent for a moment after hearing what Modax said, and then he made a decision.

Maratx's words caused a commotion and discussion among the red dragons present. He has never been a leader. There is no such thing as a leader among red dragons. The only one who can be considered a leader is Modax, but he has great strength, and his choice will have a significant impact on other red dragons.

"He..." Baragos, who was still pressed to the ground, knew that there was no hope. Despair kept surging in his heart, and he opened his mouth to prepare for the last fight.

However, before Baragos could finish his words, Splinterwin, who was pressing on him, exerted his strength.

"Shut up!" After Splintwin finished everything, he continued, "He didn't tell me before, but I am willing to live this kind of life! I..."

Splintwin was booed before he finished speaking. He has the title of "Broken Wing", but he is also known as "Shameless" among the red dragons. All the red dragons present know what kind of virtue he is.

Darkus walked in front of Malok in the booing that was not directed at him. Malok has been watching him since he threw the Cruel Fang to Malok. He can feel a lot of emotions from Malok's dragon eyes. He can empathize with Malok and know what Malok is thinking. He patted Malok's claws like before, but unlike last time, there is a great risk this time. Now Malok can attack him unscrupulously.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"No! Although this is our second meeting, I can empathize with you. I understand you, Malok." Dacus knew what Malok was saying. He looked up at Malok and responded with a calm smile. This was his third card, and the last card he could play. He also bet that Malok's gun had no bullets. Just as he always believed, Malok was never a beast.

Dacus's move was undoubtedly risky. The red dragons who stopped talking and booing watched the scene from the side. Their pupils shrank and their eyes flashed with incredible spirits. They didn't expect Dacus to be so bold and walk towards Malok without fear. What was even more surprising was that they could clearly perceive that there was a strange connection between Dacus and Malok.

The red dragons began to realize the charm and wisdom shown by this little guy, as well as his unique abilities. At this moment, some red dragons not only admired Dacus, but also began to trust Dacus.

The elves were also attracted by Dacus's performance. Most of them knew about Cruel Fang. In this case, Dacus's action was undoubtedly risky. But they could do nothing. They were more of a witness.

This scene left a deep impression on all the beings present. Dacus showed amazing courage and unparalleled charm.

"I have a friend, a very good friend. His name is Malekith. He is our leader. I want to introduce you to each other. I think you will become very good friends. Are you willing to go and meet me?" Dacus showed his dagger and directly used his big move.

"What about you?"

"I am him, he is me, there is no difference between me and him." Dacus said in a low voice.

Dacus understood. He knew what Malok meant. Malok wanted to be with him, live with him, and fight side by side. But he had to express that the hatching of the black dragon stopped, which meant that Malekith's second black dragon Serafin was gone, and then he rode on Malok... That's not the case. What did Malekith ride? He rides a big dragon, while Malekith rides a small dragon? That's not a big deal. The size of a dragon is the most intuitive expression of its strength. Otherwise, how can the level of the imperial dragon be determined? What will the Druks think of it, and what will Malekith think of it? This will have a series of political impacts.

Modax?

The reason why Daxus gave the brute dragon to Mordax is that the brute dragon will not take shape immediately. This is a long-term project. There is a long process from hatching to adulthood. It is definitely not possible to catch up with the King of Ulthuan unless black magic is used. The most important thing is that Mordax usually has to guard the brute dragon and will definitely not fly around.

Maratx?

Dacus thought Maratx was interested in spellcasting. He was not familiar with Maratx, and he and Modax could not specify who Maratx would take to fight. There was no reason. Unless Maratx found a partner and recognized a certain elf, but that would be a long time.

Skarazak? Skulex? Omdra?

Dacus could feel that Skarazak was not interested in his proposal. Skulex was on the iceberg in Norsca and did not attend the meeting. Omdra was even less likely. There should be no one else besides these people? Unless there were some he didn't know about, but he thought the probability was small.

After seeing Malok nod, Dacus patted Malok's paw. Malok was stunned for a moment and guessed what he was going to do.

Malok raised his front paw that had been tightly covering the Cruel Fang before, and Dacus appeared in the shadow of his paw without any defense. Perhaps, if he pressed his claws down hard, everything would change, but he didn't smash his claws down in the end. Memories kept flashing through his mind. If the original Elendril was like Dacus now... However, Elendril was not like that. If he was given a choice now, he would still do it.

"I made a vow with Splinterwin. I swear that I will protect him! I will do everything to prevent him from stepping into a tragic fate! Even if he eventually steps into a tragic fate, I will do everything to find him and end his pain! No matter where he is!" Dacus's voice resounded through the world, and his voice kept echoing, as if it penetrated time and reached the future.

Splinterwin ignored the red dragon looking at him, and didn't pay attention to the violently struggling Baragos. He looked at Dacus, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart. He could feel the solemnity and sincerity of this oath, which made him feel unprecedented security and warmth.

"I believe in you, Dacus. I believe you will protect me, no matter when and where. Similarly, no matter how desperate the battle is, I will not abandon you, and I will fight with you until the last moment! In the presence of Modax and you all, I, Splintwin! I will keep my word!" Splintwin's roar was full of trust and gratitude.

"In the presence of the River Rick, in the presence of you all! In the presence of the gods! I, Dacus Hell's Disaster! I will never break my promise!" Dacus raised the Cruel Fang in his hand and said loudly.

The oath of Dacus and Splintwin became an eternal promise under various witnesses, and this promise connected each other's souls. The Tayfel River below the Dragon Castle showed no signs of freezing, and the gurgling flow seemed to witness this solemn oath.

"I promise! The elves will never enslave the red dragons. The elves will work hand in hand with the red dragons to build a world of mutual respect and understanding. I rarely swear or promise, and my oaths are never empty promises! This is my true expectation for the future. We will face challenges together and create a better future together! There will be no more slavery and oppression between the elves and the red dragons, only equality between each other!"

Darkus's voice echoed in the air, and every syllable seemed to be a solemn declaration of the future. His eyes swept across every red dragon present, revealing sincerity and determination.

At the end of his words, the Cruel Fang he held tightly in his hand gradually froze, and the frost quickly condensed on the surface of the teeth, forming a thick layer of ice. The cold breath permeated the surrounding air, freezing everything. With a light wave of his hand, the frozen Cruel Fang suddenly burst, and the fragments flew everywhere, blooming in the air like fireworks. The frozen fragments danced in the air, like drifting snowflakes, flashing a faint light in the sun.

Gradually, the Cruel Fang turned into powder and fell to the ground. Those tooth fragments that once symbolized darkness and oppression have now turned into harmless powder, floating in the air and turning into dust.

This scene seems to imply that the oppression and fear of the past have been frozen and shattered and no longer exist. The disappearance of the Cruel Fang symbolizes a new beginning and the arrival of hope.

The red dragons opened their mouths in surprise and stared in amazement. Their dragon pupils flashed with surprise and confusion, as if they couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes. If possible, some red dragons would even open their wings without hesitation and fly to the location of the Cruel Fang to confirm it. For a time, the red dragons were filled with endless shock and emotion. As Modax recounted, they began to re-examine the little guy in front of them and the new possibilities he represented.

"Those who build great things don't mind small grudges." During Modax's retelling, Dacus said to himself silently.

After hearing the retelling, the expressions of the red dragons gradually became complicated. There was excitement and hope in their eyes, but also a hint of hesitation and uneasiness. This promise was unprecedented for them, a brand new experience, a trustworthy hope.

Some red dragons had a gleam in their pupils, indicating their recognition and acceptance of this promise. Some red dragons also became serious, thinking about the credibility and feasibility of this promise. They had a hint of vigilance and doubt in their hearts about the past history and experience.

"I'm a little curious, what about the third one?"

"As if today's incident had never happened..." (End of this chapter)
