Chapter 268: Hands Up
A remote canyon area in the forest outside the Vitali Imperial Capital.
As the Star Singer Aelia, who was the High Elf handling this contingency this time, her eyes were indifferent as she looked at the ‘two elves’ in front of her with different expressions and opened her mouth:
“Your offer is too high.”
Even though he had already heard about the two metal dragons’ offer that was almost like a giant dragon’s big opening, but at this moment, when he heard the other party actually sit on the ground and raise the price once again in person, it was still inevitably a bit unpleasant.
However, she, who was clearly a Legend, did not act rashly, much less directly choose to rob them hard.
At the first time she came, she had already sensed the seemingly non-existent fluctuation of magic power in this canyon.
Magic Maze Lock!
The dragons had also shamelessly changed even the name of this plagiarized past magical technique, calling it beautifully – Dragon’s Nest Guard.
Daring to do this in front of their High Elf military, it was obvious that the main messenger was a very experienced roller.
If it is because of the rash action, once the other side launched this effect unknown dragon nest guard, afraid of this batch of war materials will also be directly destroyed.
But it was also just as she said, the asking price of this gang of metal dragons was too high!
Arms were usually between 1.7% and 10% off on the black market depending on the color.
The color of this lot was indeed quite new.
Can it not be new if it was just snatched off the Luwalden Kingdom’s transportation route?
There were even a few carts of [Rage Combination] in it, the kind that was equally spicy to drink, but at least the ass didn’t spit fire straight out of it.
But these two metal dragons actually dared to sell them directly at the original price, the greed of the dragons, it can be seen.
“But this is what you guys desperately need, isn’t it?” The elf anthropomorphic silver dragon Sebritz raised his hand to stop the brass dragon fellow who was about to open his mouth, and asked back with his head held high and arrogantly.
In his heart, he was panicking.
He did not expect, originally just wanted to do a small vote for some money to go away dragon, actually caused a legend!
It was also the legendary Moon God’s Chosen, the King’s Sister of the new Elf Queen of the Elf Kingdom, Alashea – Star Singer Eriya.
When he had just returned to the old continent of Scannus from the Torrell Plane, he clearly remembered that this female elf was fighting the dwarves at the Eight Peaks Mountain!
When did she return to the New Continent, and they just happened to bump into her!
At such a critical time, it would be even more important not to let Vlatimir, the guy with the mouth without a door, just open his mouth!
God knows what kind of trouble he might cause.
Vlatimir, however, was a bit anxious, and secretly ‘private messaged’ his best friend through magical messaging, asking:
“What do you want? This isn’t what we agreed upon! Didn’t we agree on a slight discount for a quick sale?”
Sebritz replied decisively, “There’s been a change of plans, so we can’t do this deal.”
“Why?” Vlatimir almost exploded on the spot.
They had risked being beaten up by a group of five-colored dragons for nearly a month, and were waiting for the shipment to be finished to share the gold, but now they suddenly said they couldn’t do it! Who else would not be happy about it?
If he did not know his best friend better, he would have suspected that this guy is not trying to get rid of himself to swallow the proceeds alone!
Encountering such a guy who had read biographies to the point of stupidity, Sebritz felt like he was about to vomit blood, and could only quickly explain:
“Encountered a tough character, Lunar God’s Chosen, Star Singer Aelia, even in Toriel, I’ve heard that she’s a famous hawk.”
“It’s just a legend! If she really dares to rob hard, big deal, I’ll burn all the goods, I’m sure she won’t dare to mess around.”
“KAM! Do you understand in the end! She is the spokesperson of the Moon God in the Material Plane, what ingredients of the Moon God have you forgotten? Or do you want to selectively forget some history for the sake of some money?”
“. Alright, I get it, what should I do? I’ll listen to you.” Vuratimir was silent for a while, but compromised.
Perhaps not all giant dragons knew this, but any metal dragon that had read some historical biographies knew one thing:
Back then, behind the scenes of single-handedly planning and executing the ‘Killing King’s Star Dragon Frenzy Fan Lock’ could not be separated from the participation of this Moon Goddess, Shahanni Moonbow.
There are even rumors that this [Secret of Lunar Flare], who is revered by the High Elves as the ‘Mysterious Prophet’, still resides on top of the Killing King Star, personally guarding the Dragon Madness Labyrinth Lock, which concerns the lifeblood of all the High Elves.
All High Elves understood the importance of this mission.
Once the suppression and threat of the Dragon Frenzy Labyrinth was lost, giving the dragons a chance to resume their civilization of gathering and attacking in groups, with the dragons’ vengeance, for their group of Higher Elves who backstabbed their ‘dragon masters’ during the Dragon War back in the day, a bloody retaliatory cleansing was almost certain to come.
So in Sebritz’s opinion, the Moon God Chosen in front of him was almost the spokesperson for ‘Class A War Criminals’ in the eyes of the giant dragons.
He could go and rob the five-colored dragons and do business with the High Elves.
Yet he would never allow himself to possibly make a deal with a war criminal.
God knows what the other side would do with this war material.
Was there any possibility of threatening Toriel’s metal dragon population? Or the Dragon Island, which was alone overseas?
That’s the bottom line!
“First, we’ll force them back by offering a high price, and when they negotiate, we’ll find a chance to leave.”
“Then this shipment?”
“What we can’t take with us, we’ll burn it in a fire, of course.” Sebritz also said with some heartache.
“Burned!?” Vlatimir only felt as if his cloaca was spiking with blood, and was close to jumping straight to his feet.
“Okay, we agree.”
“Huh?” The two metallic dragons who were frantically pairing off in magical communication looked up in shock to see the Lunar God Chosen twisting her head around and slightly angling her pointed chin at the deputy behind her.
Then a full four large boxes of treasure that required several elves to carry at once were carried over and opened in front of them.
Upon seeing the four large chests full of exquisite elven gold and silver coins and treasures mixed with various colored gemstones scattered out at the same time, Vuratimir could hardly take his eyes off of it.
At least two thousand pounds worth of gold!
The wealth of a full-grown dragon was probably no more than that.
It’s real money to be made in the black!
However, when Sebritz looked at the shiny golden treasure in front of him, he only felt a coldness running straight from his feet to the back of his head, but he still could only pretend to be full of greed and exclaimed:
“Your generosity is enough to make the world look at you.”
Aelia also showed a bright smile for the first time:
“Then prepare to trade.”
“We’ll go pick up the goods right now, please wait for a moment.” Sebritz immediately nodded.
Saying that, he pulled Vulatimir, who couldn’t move his legs, and twisted his head towards the valley.
“Wait!” Behind him, however, came the voice of that Elven God Chosen.
The two metal dragons’ hearts sank, and they saw the Star Singer smiling coquettishly at them:
“The payment for the goods hasn’t been brought yet.”
“This. It’s too heavy, come back later to pay with one hand and deliver with the other, we believe in your reputation, Your Highness.” Sebritz smiled sardonically.
“That’s fine, I’ll have my men carry it over for you, just in time, we also have to count the goods in person don’t we?”
“Also . Haha, hahaha.” At this moment, Sebritz already had some regrets!
Damn it, he only wanted to covet the elves’ money, these elves were afraid that they weren’t playing with the idea of getting both the dragon’s goods.
“What should we do? She seems to be eyeing us.” At this moment, even the money-minded Vuratimir could see the light.
It was really a ruthless character!
“Act as you see fit, later on you will directly detonate the magic maze lock, while we will split up and escape.”
“What about the money?” Vlatimir was a bit reluctant.
“Don’t think about it! Judging by the nature of this elf, if he hadn’t been tampering with the gold coins like the she-dragon I’d just change my last name to Moonbow!”
“It’s really too despicable! He doesn’t even follow the basic rules of black market trading!”
Sebritz, however, looked at the fellow as if he was an idiot, and said that the first rule of the black market was that the weak was the strong! Only those with equal strength will talk to you about the rules!
When doing this kind of thing, gain and risk will always go hand in hand.
“Remember! Don’t take any chances later! Don’t have the slightest hesitation either!”
Hesitate, and you will lose.
And may be captured! And then fall to the elf’s relentless blood pump and feces-making machine!
“Yes!”
A quarter of an hour later, after they had arrived in front of the valley where they had stuffed their loot, in full view of Aelia and the accompanying elves.
“Please.” Aelia raised her hand and smiled.
The two turned metal dragons looked at each other with hard eyes, Sebritz ready to transform back into his original form, and Vuratimir clenching his fists violently.
But the gesture was a lonely one.
There was no imagined Mistlock Stampede, no smoke-filled explosion and flames that burned all the goods together.
There was nothing but, a long and eerie silence.
The two suddenly ‘Spartan’ metal dragons stared at each other with coppery eyes, slowly twisting their heads around to see an elven caster emerging from the shadows and bowing to Aelyria, handing a dull magical gem up to her and saying:
“Your Highness, as you wished, the maze lock has been broken.”
Aelia held up the magic stone in front of her and looked at the two defeated and dumbfounded metal dragons and said faintly:
“I’m sorry, this so-called ‘Dragon Nest Guard’ of yours is nothing more than that, when it comes to magic maze locks, we, the High Elves, are the original.”
Looking at the metal dragons who fell into silence, Elijah, who was the victor of the breakthrough, revealed an arrogant smile and asked:
“You two metal dragons have stolen and tried to sell our High Elves’ frontline supplies, come with us to Dwensel.”
Sebritz and Vuratimir glanced at each other in dismay, facing an existence that had completely crushed them in terms of both technology and strength as well as in terms of dimensions, they had no choice but to obediently transform back into their original body prototypes, and then raised their claws, wings, and tails at the same time.
The dragon’s entire body is a weapon, and only such a surrender posture can let the elves feel at ease to get close to them, and then use the cane to tie up their mouths, claws, and wings, and feel at ease to transport them.
One could only hope to find a way to escape while being transported.
But just as the two metal dragons had just taken the surrender posture, all the elves who were paying full attention to their defense focused on them.
Hundreds of magical awns erupted out of the layered wagons in succession.
“On guard!” The elves instantly changed color, and they even protected Star Singer Elijah, who was also staring blankly, in the middle.
Eriya, however, took a deep look at the two metal dragon paths that were still ‘dumbfounded’ until this moment:
“Counting on me? Good acting, even I was fooled by you.”
“…” Sebritz, who was forced to lie and count, also felt confused.
Then, he suddenly smelled a familiar odor that made his scalp tingle.
The next moment, accompanied by the groaning of wood and the sound of the curtain being lifted in unison, it was seen that a youthful red dragon led by hundreds of dragon beasts of all colors squeezed out of the ‘warehouse pipeline’ like swarms of groundhogs, and in the blink of an eye, it encompassed half of the valley.
Not only that, the half-blooded Zorro Aliana also led a squad of Zorro Shadow Dancers that had long been ambushed nearby to block the gap in the canyon.
This result undoubtedly made Aelia a bit stunned:
“Davyutos?”
She had originally thought that what was coming was a bunch of fishing for law enforcement metal dragons from Dragon Island.
Upon seeing the visitor, she was suddenly amused.
There was actually a bigger ‘fish’ that came to her door of its own accord.
It was true that today was her lucky day, Eriya.
“Eh? It’s actually our Star Singer, Your Highness Aelia, we, truly, are destined for each other.” David, who was struggling to get half of his body out of the completely scrapped van, was also somewhat happy.
Never in a million years did he expect that the Elven Queen’s Highness who had set up a layout to ambush them near that ultra-long-distance teleportation array in Scannis that had nearly shot a group of their dragons into hedgehogs would actually meet in such a situation.
It was also wrapped up in a dumpling by its own dragons.
As expected, sometimes the time comes when the offense and defense change shape, and it comes so suddenly.
But on both sides, both felt that they had made a fortune.
No extra pleasantries.
“Fight!” David and Elijah gave this icy command near-simultaneously.
And along with this word coming out of his mouth, Star Singer Elia, who was the Moon God’s divine Chosen, pestled the magnificent and ostentatious staff in his hand towards the ground.
Along with an illusory moon wheel appearing from the side, a white pillar of light went straight up into the sky.
At that instant, it was as if thousands of stars were blinking at the same time.
[Meteor Shower]
However, this Star Singer had just ‘opened up’, and after David used his senses to determine that the King’s Daughter in front of him actually dared to fight alone, he changed his mind and raised his claws to point towards Aelia with a single finger:
[Wind Zero Silence]
In an instant, the wind stopped, the sound was quiet, and the meteor shower that was originally spectacular also came to a halt.
Only Eriya as a humanoid hand puppet like incredibly stood in place.
On the other hand, David, who used this ‘One Finger of God’, once again shriveled up on the ground, as if his soul had gone out of his body.
That scene, just like in Warcraft 3, the White Tiger Priestess just opened a meteor shower and was publicly ‘ah! It was the same.
However, at this time, a tough female ogre killed out from among the elf guards, like no one’s business, and then slapped this legend who was about to be ‘unfrozen’ out with a stick.
All the elves only heard a crunching sound, and I don’t know if it was an illusion or not, but they felt that the back of their highness’s head had deflated a little bit.
Looking at His Highness Aelia, who was alive and dead, and the mountains of dragons, dragon beasts and dragon familiars.
All the High Elves, at the same time, threw down their weapons and gave up resistance.
Raised their hands.
