Chapter 1183: Invitation and Contact
Crassus had always been hostile to Leo, not because the red dragon didn't like Leo, but because Leo's presence hindered his plans. At first, it was Crassus's curiosity that was at work, but when the red dragon realized the great potential of the mortal race, his purpose changed fundamentally.
From the initial curious contact, to the subsequent conscious integration, and then to the purposeful influence and control after integration, Crassus gradually expanded his energy in the mortal race. If nothing happens, the mortal race will eventually be controlled by the dragon, become a subordinate of the dragon, and lose its reading surname.
It's a pity that the heavens don't follow people's wishes, and the two orc wars disrupted Crassus's plans, and then the appearance of Leo and the rise of the kingdom of Araso made a mess of his plans.
By now, even the little fear of the mortal race for dragons was gone.
Crassus, the emissary of the Red Dragon Legion, had a bad feeling, and when he came to Riptide from the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, he didn't feel half of the awe of the dragon from the city's masters, Queen Scarlett of Arathas and Prince Leo. The two men's attitude towards him was too formulaic, making Crassus feel that they were treating themselves as ordinary messengers.
Treating the emissaries of the Temple of Dragon's Sleep as ordinary emissaries had never been believed in by Crassus's people before, but Scarlett and Leo's performance forced him to accept the shocking fact that Arathor treats the emissaries of the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep the same as those of other forces.
The majesty of the dragon has been provoked!
No matter what Scarlett and Leo think, at least that's what Crassus thinks.
How could the emissaries of other forces be compared to the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep?
How dare Leo and Scarlett treat him and the other messengers equally?
Extremely dissatisfied in his heart, even angry, Crassus couldn't show it, which made him feel very breathless, but who let Leo stand next to the Blue Dragon King Malygos, Crassus didn't want to be rude in front of the Dragon King. In any case, Malygos is also a figure on the same level as the Red Dragon Queen Alexta.
Leo had already noticed Crassus's dissatisfaction, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, the dragons were so arrogant that they were used to putting on a proud posture in front of humans, and they really thought that everyone had to keep them?
Leo and Scarlett's attitude towards him was lukewarm, and Crassus didn't want to stay in Riptide Fort for long, no politeness, no greetings, and the red dragon directly stated the purpose of his visit: "Queen Alexta is very worried about the appearance of Deathwing and Twilight's hammer, and it is a good thing that Alathor has the heart to gather the power to protect the world, but Riptide Castle is not a suitable place, and the Temple of Dragon's Sleep is more reassuring, after all, the power to protect the world also has a part of the tribe." ”
You directly said that the tribe can't trust the alliance, so why go around in such a big circle?
Leo secretly despised Crassus, he still knew who Thrall was, and if the tribe really had the heart to cooperate, Thrall would definitely have the courage to come to Riptide Castle. Crassus brought such words, either Sal had other plans, or the red dragon was deliberately taking the tune.
Perhaps, both.
Once racial interests are involved, the individual's character is no longer reliable. The orcs are at an absolute disadvantage at the moment, and the living environment of the orcs has suddenly become worse due to the pressing steps of humans and the alliance, and Leo has reason to believe that Thrall will acquiesce to something in order to change this situation.
It seems that Thrall is very interested in obtaining the priesthood of the Guardian of the Earth, so it's no wonder that he is like this, who can't fill the gap left by Deathwing? Even if the priesthood obtained in this way may not last long, with Thrall's ability, it is not difficult to take this opportunity to get closer to Alexta and other dragon kings in the battle against Deathwing, and even make their attitude tilt slightly towards the orcs.
It's really a big problem for the orcs to hook up with the dragon, no, I can't give them a chance.
Thinking of this, Leo did not object, but nodded and accepted Crassus's invitation: "Since this is the case, for the sake of the whole world, we will meet in the Temple of Dragon Sleep, and I hope that we can negotiate a solution that everyone can accept when the time comes." ”
He didn't expect Leo to agree so easily, a look of shock appeared on Crassus's face, he was ready, if Leo and Scarlett objected, he would find a way to convince them. Who would have thought that Leo would agree without even hesitating, leaving Crassus's prepared rhetoric useless.
The astonishment is followed by vigilance, and yes, you read that right, vigilance. Crassus didn't think that Leo was such a guy who trusted people so easily, and in the Red Dragon's thoughts, Leo must have some plan, otherwise he would never have agreed so quickly.
If Leo knew that he didn't object to Crassus's words, but provoked the red dragon to be vigilant, I don't know what expression would be revealed. Follow your Crassus, and doubt me; If you don't follow your wishes, you will be angry with me, it's really hard to do it.
"Why did you say yes?" Scarlett was also puzzled by Leo's suggestion that he did not object to Crassus, and after Crassus left, the paladin asked Leo, "It was we who invited Alexta and them, it should be that they came to Rapids, why did it become that we went to the Temple of Dragon's Sleep?" ”
"The Dragon King can't afford not to give face, after all, they are the main force in this fight against Deathwing." Leo lowered his voice as he spoke, and said in a voice that only he and Scarlett could hear, "The dragon's soul is still in the dragonking's hands, how can Alexta let that artifact appear if he doesn't go to the Dragon's Sleep Temple, without the dragon's soul, it will not be easy for the dragonlord to hand over the power given to them by the Titans." ”
The reason why this era is called the Age of Dragons is because of the strength of the Dragon King, and the Dragon King with the magical power given by the Titans is synonymous with invincibility in this world, how can the era of mortals who do not let them lose their divine power come?
After getting used to being high and giving orders, how many people are willing to return to the ordinary? How many people are willing to watch the people they have previously instructed equal to them?
Leo believed that Alexta's mood must be extremely conflicted at the moment, and they were extremely sensitive to anything, and it was not wise to provoke them at this time.
Besides, even if he doesn't have a home advantage in the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, Leo won't care. In this world where the strong are respected, the big fist has the right to speak, and the strong can make real decisions, if other people want to play any tricks and make any calculations, Leo will let them understand this truth.
Is there a difference between the so-called home and away advantage in the face of absolute power?
Crassus's arrival and departure didn't cause much of a stir in Riptide Castle, and most of the people in the city didn't even know that the messenger of the Temple of Dragon's Sleep had arrived, and their eyes were drawn to the temple of magic that was being built.
I have to say that it is a very happy thing to have magic, such as building a magic temple, changing the earth before Leo crossed, I don't know how much work it will take to lay the foundation, this world is good, let a few magicians go over and do it.
The Temple of Magic did not exceed Leo's expectations, and after Edlaide contacted the Mage Guild and the Warlock Guild, they agreed with little bargaining, and sent someone on the day Edlaide contacted them.
The opportunity to make contact with the purest elements is irresistible to the caster, so what is the point of sacrificing some money to contribute a little magic material?
Leo and Edlaide still underestimated the Mage Guild and the Warlock Guild, these two guilds are not bad money, although the cost of building the Magic Hall is huge, but it is not in the eyes of the two guilds, and even the people of the two guilds know Alaso's plan for the Magic Hall and scold Leo for being too stingy, and they have more than doubled the size of the Magic Hall by paying out of their own pockets.
After learning about this, Leo could only say: professional, really professional, more professional than self-done five - anyway, it seems that something strange has popped up?
With the strong men of the Mage Guild and the Warlock Guild stationed, coupled with its own strong city defense system, the safety of Riptide Castle has been greatly guaranteed, even if Deathwing comes again, it can resist one or two, and the buffer of that time is enough for Leo to rush.
Leo muttered to himself, "Now, I can go out with peace of mind." ”
"Master, are you going to the appointment?"
Xenesalaya quietly appeared beside Leo, and she was sent by Leo to invite the three dragon kings in the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep and other places, and she really brought back special news - when Xinesalaya conveyed Leo's invitation to the bronze dragon queen Solidomi, she left the Cave of Time and met the Infinity Dragon who brought a message to Mdozno.
"That's of course, how could I not go to Mdozno's invitation? In terms of purpose, Mdozno, who rules the Infinity Dragon, and I are fellow travelers, and since the trajectory set by the Titans for this world is not reasonable, why not change it? Do you really want to watch yourself gradually go to ruin? ”
Leo said as he motioned to Xinaisaraya for her to tell her where she had encountered the Infinity Dragon.
Leo was not going to go to the Cave of Time, he believed that Mdozno would also take this into account, after all, the two had a secret contact in private, and it would be easy for outsiders to discover if they passed through the Cave of Time.
Although the Infinity Dragon who came into contact with Xinaisaraya did not tell the Black Dragon Queen where they met, how could Leo not think of the key to this?
Since ordinary Endless Dragons could appear in that place, how could Mdozno, as the Dragon King, not be able to do so?
"Master, I think the Infinity Dragon is acting weirdly, so it's better to be careful."
Seeing that Leo was about to leave, Sinaisaraya couldn't help but remind her that she didn't want Leo to fall for Mdozno's calculations.
"Come with me to see." Leo beckoned to Sinaisaraya, "Even at the end of time, he can't help me, and if Mdozno tries to plot against me, he will only fail." ”
