Chapter 631: Arrogance (2)

Cervantes sat on the chair, crossed his legs, tilted his head and sighed at the duke in front of him: "Duke Flogat, you should have heard of it, what is the purpose of my coming this time, I think you should also understand it very well, right?"

How could the Duke of Flogat not know?

Recently, there has been a storm on the mainland, and a wave of unsettled waves has risen again and again, and the impact of what happened before has not been completely eliminated, and another thing has emerged again.

No one expected that the elves who hid themselves in the depths of that forest would have the courage to send an army to the border of the Kurkut Empire to confront their army, and let them hand over the imprisoned elven slaves as soon as possible, otherwise the elves would go to war with the Kurkut Empire.

This incident really frightened the nobles of the Kurkut Empire, because they had never thought that the elves would dare to do this.

In the past few hundred years, everyone has followed an unspoken rule when organizing a slave hunting team, and those who do not follow that unspoken rule will be ostracized and suppressed by everyone.

It is precisely because of the existence of that unspoken rule that their family has been able to continue unharmed until now-

It is not allowed to capture a large number of elven slaves, and you can only catch a maximum of fifteen elven slaves a year, and you can't make a noise, and you can't let too many people know about it.

They are like holding a knife, cutting the meat from the fat of the elf clan little by little, maybe five years and ten years will not see any results, but now hundreds of years have passed, the strength of the elf race has become weaker because of this unspoken rule, and the elves have not been able to recover at the beginning, let alone now?

The strength of the elves has been weakened a lot unconsciously, but by the time they come to their senses, they no longer have the strength to resist.

While the elves were enduring and preparing to recuperate and regain their strength, but they were also slowly weakened, the status of human beings was rising rapidly, and they soon surpassed the elves.

Therefore, the nobles of the Kurkut Empire did not understand why the elves actually sent an army to confront them.

If there was a war, then they would have a reason to officially send an army into the Stars and Moonlight Forest, capture a large number of elves, and also take the opportunity to acquire more elven slaves.

When the unspoken rule was formulated, some nobles of the Kurkut Empire were involved, after all, their territory was not far from the Star-Moon Forest, and if the elves really recovered, then they would definitely be the first to suffer.

Then they recovered from the fact that the elves sent an army to confront the Empire, and found that another big event had happened on the continent!

It is a crime to capture slaves without permission, and no matter which country has a clear rule, the main source of slaves must be 'war', which is also a compromise made by the Church of Radiance and the Church of Justice.

Slave traders have backers behind them, after all, this is a lucrative industry.

However, although admitted, it does not mean that the church likes the existence of such a thing as "slaves", on the contrary, most churches are very rejecting the existence of slaves.

But how many medium- and large-scale wars could there be on the mainland? If there were no medium-sized and large-scale wars, the slaves captured in the small-scale wars would not meet the requirements of the nobles for slaves at all, so the 'slave catchers' came into being.

Among them, the most profitable must be the alien slaves, especially the young and beautiful alien female slaves.

Mermaids need to go deep into the ocean and are difficult to catch, and most of the alien 'beauties' are not considered beautiful in the eyes of humans, only the 'elves' - only this alien race is the most in line with human aesthetics.

Elven slaves are popular with the aristocracy, and although they may lose their heads if they are discovered, many still choose to take risks.

How could the Duke of Flogat not know?

As one of the great nobles of the Kurkut Empire, he has more than one elven slave in his family, which is usually used as a 'reward' in addition to the use of their lineage.

Before, he was one of the nobles who had no fear, but now he didn't think so.

The 'man' sitting across from him was the recently famous Grand Duke of the Black Dragon, Cervantes Doig Screaming Wind.

As a legendary black dragon, he has a very powerful record, and as the world knows, there is more than one legend who died under his hands.

Hostile to several legends, and fighting, but still able to survive until now, no matter how you look at it, you know that this is not a weak person.

In the past few days, he has also heard that the principality, which has just become independent from the country of mages, has sent forty-three knights and launched an attack on forty-three families at the same time, and it is invincible.

All of them are strong people who can fight more than one enemy, and they can also be among the best in the ranks of extraordinary powerhouses, but they have never appeared in front of the world before, so they have not been famous, and no one knows how powerful they are.

But now it's clear that it's a bunch of monsters!

According to reliable sources, the bloodlines of most people in the Principality of Sorrowful Wind have been alienated, and if you look at it from a strict perspective, those guys are no longer 'human'.

With the power of a monster, the magic flowing in his blood, and the teachings of the most holy man in the world who has passed away, all this has made the knights of the Principality of Sorrow powerful...... It also caused the nobles to suffer!

Who would have thought that the elves would unite with the Principality of Sorrowful Winds, and this time the operation was also supported by the Church of Fortune.

This is something that no one expected, so the Duke of Flogat is also having a hard time doing it now.

How to answer?

But this black dragon has come to the door, and it is still in this tense time.

He came to the door after that had happened, and it was obvious that he probably didn't want to do anything with them, but if it really had to, he probably would?

Duke Flogat was a little unsure, so he remained silent, thoughtful, and did not answer.

Seeing this reaction of Duke Flogat, Cervantes was not surprised, took out a nail file from his pocket and began to polish his nails.

As the minutes ticked by, the black dragon blew and blew the nail powder onto Duke Flogat's desk, but he still didn't react.

Cervantes had never been a very patient dragon, and he felt a little irritated when he looked at the pensive look of the chubby middle-aged man in front of him.

"Duke Flogat, do you ~want to ~ be good~~?"

Leaning lazily back in his chair, Cervantes stared blankly at the ceiling and threatened weakly: "Hurry up and make a plan, for a big man like you, it's not a big deal, is it?"

As he spoke, the wild-looking eyes looked at Duke Flogat.

When Duke Flogat awoke from his contemplation and looked up, he met the cold gaze.

When he saw those eyes, he felt a chill all over his body, and a wordless fear permeated his heart.

Duke Flogat took a deep breath, and it seemed that the dragon was already a little impatient, and he began to release the dragon's might......

"Your Excellency, the reputation of our Flogat family is at stake, and I have to think about it carefully......"

The middle-aged man wanted to explain with a hypocritical smile on his face, but he was interrupted by the black dragon in the middle of his words: "In that case, then why did you do this kind of thing in the first place?"

"You just have to tell me one thing now, okay or not!" Cervantes sneered, "It's hypocritical enough!"

Duke Flogat's fingers trembled slightly, and he took another deep breath to calm his excitement.

Dragons are so arrogant to humans...... Dragons are so proud of all humans......

The smirk on his face almost collapsed, and Duke Flogat pondered for a long time, and said, "Your Excellency, it's not that you can't, but after I let them go, how should the loss of the Flogat family be calculated?"

“...... Well, in other words, you want to get compensation from me?" asked Cervantes with a strange expression.

"It's ...... nature"

"Did you make a mistake?"

Duke Flogat's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at the black dragon in front of him in astonishment.

Cervantes leaned back in his chair and looked at him coldly, "I am a dragon, and all you can get from me is your life—from the beginning, you will exchange the elven slaves in your family for your right to continue living." This is also the so-called empty glove white wolf, which is also the ...... I give you mercy."

"Do you have any grievances?"
