Chapter 693: Counting is Counting
Rhodes has never been a generous guy β at least not when it comes to conspiracies.
When the guys on Rodlong Island wanted to use themselves as cannon fodder and thugs, Rhodes decided to teach them a profound lesson as soon as possible.
Not everyone can be taken advantage of.
Rhodes didn't ask Landis what Ryushima intended to use as bait, as he was aware of the conspiracy when he was aware of it.
What could be more tempting for a "prophet" than to "be allowed to preach among the dragons"?
Rhodes bet that the guys were absolutely intent on luring themselves with such blank checks, and were even willing to put up a little sweetness as a "deposit" before it was done.
But in the same way, Rhodes also dared to guarantee that if he really completed the task with difficulty, then the guys on Dragon Island would definitely not be willing to hand over the real reward.
Of course, this is premised on Rhodes completing the mission "with difficulty" - if Rhodes easily completes the mission on Dragon Island, the group of guys may also make sense to fulfill their promises.
But the problem is that Rhodes doesn't like to be used, especially in this fraudulent way.
So, Rhodes was going to do it - to swallow the bait of Dragon Island first.
Originally, Landis really didn't want Rod to do that.
Although Landis also has some dissatisfaction with a certain old guy, but at the end of the day, Landis is a dragon, and those dragons are his kind after all, and he wants Rhodes to leave instead of intervening in it, which will make him very uncomfortable.
But Rod's chips attracted him.
"You know." There was a different meaning in Rod's expression, "I'm a rune annihilator, and I don't have any interest in runes - even if you give me a world rune, it will be meaningless in my hands." β
"But you, Mr. Landis, you're not like me."
"Looks like you're a ...... When I was in the Black Forest, I saw you leading a group of dragons to trouble Bather, and it seems that you have good connections among the dragons. β
"As far as I know, the Frost Dragons are quite a formidable dragon species, and usually you're far superior to the Flame Dragons and the like."
"If some guy who doesn't have long eyes provokes an existence they shouldn't, after recovering their rune fragments, you seem to be a good successor."
The temptation of the red fruit.
Rod's words are already very straightforward.
For dragons, the most precious thing is the rune fragments in their bodies, but as a rune annihilator, rune fragments are meaningless to Rhodes, who can take them out as rewards and distribute them to those who are willing to help him.
Landis didn't speak, but Rhodes could feel his breathing getting heavier.
For Landis, rune shards are a great temptation.
Rune shards!
The dragon's strong body allowed them to exert their power to the greatest extent after possessing the rune shards, and in this case, each rune shard was precious to them!
Unlike humans, dragons become more and more able to control and tolerate runes as they age, and if they reach a certain level of growth and are unable to obtain rune fragments that match their bodies, they will fall into aging.
Why was Shivana jealous of her own mother?
Because for Sivana, who was born with a secondary rune, it was only a matter of time before she became an ancient dragon!
This kind of rune fragments that appeared at the time of birth will gradually merge with Shivana as she grows older and her body grows, she doesn't need to worry about aging without enough rune power to support her body after she grows, this is simply the chosen dragon among dragons!
Even at the beginning of the birth of Dragon Island, a large part of the reason was that the dragons themselves killed each other and caused serious internal attrition, and the ancient dragons had to establish relative order in order to maintain the internal stability of the dragons.
In order to maintain this order, each dragon was given a rune shard large enough to become an elderly dragon when he reached adulthood, and it was for this reason that the dragons were willing to accept the nominal rule of Dragon Island.
Now, Rhodes said that he would kill the guy who didn't have long eyes, and then give the rune fragment to Landis, how could this not make Landis excited?
Landis is already a prime-aged dragon and is only one step away from entering old age!
Although Landis still has some inventory, his inventory is obviously not enough to make him an Elder Dragon, and he is now running around in order to find a chance to get rune fragments and make himself an Elder Dragon?
Rhodes will almost be in front of him!
However, after just a few deep breaths, Landis rejects Rod.
"If you insist on killing, I'm afraid I won't be able to take you to Dragon Island." There was a hint of loss in Landis's tone that was difficult to hide, "Although I long for the world runes and rune fragments, I will not cooperate with you for them, it is a betrayal of my own race. β
"Oh?" Rod raised his brow in a respectful manner, "It seems that you are still a good dragon?" β
"It's not good or bad." Landis didn't receive Rhodes' compliment, "I got the rune fragment of Dragon Island when I was an adult, and it was it that helped me get to where I am today, although my good opinion for those old guys is limited, but no matter what, I won't break my bottom line." β
"Bottom line...... "A nice wordβso you can help me get to the bottom of things, but you're not willing to follow me and teach them a lesson, even if you can profit from it yourself." β
"That's right." Landis nodded, "I would rather this matter end here, I'd rather those old guys use their brains more than an uncontrollable being to learn about the existence of Dragon Island and cause some damage, which is ...... for me The disadvantages outweigh the advantages. β
"You're smart enough." Seeing that Landis didn't plan to cooperate with him, Rhodes was not very disappointed, "Otherwise, you communicate with them first, and we will talk in another place - the equal kind." β
"What do you mean?"
"I'm a little upset about the use of Dragon Island, but since you don't want to get involved, I can talk openly and honestly, and I can help you solve your troubles, but you have to pay enough price."
"Why are you doing that?"
"Frankly β I'd love to be able to get rid of that dregs." Rod twisted his neck, "My lovely disciple now needs a higher-level experimental textbook. β
