Chapter 512 Tricked



\'A Greater Forest Dragon\'s egg? Is that really valuable enough to be compared with the Empress\' Divinity Fragment?\'

Nial was confused because it looked like the Royal Princess was extremely interested in the Greater Forest Dragon\'s egg.

Dragons were Mythical Creatures but he still didn\'t understand how it was comparable to the Divinity Fragment portal.

However, it was not in his hands to make a decision whether they would accept the bet and fight a one versus one battle with a representative from each side.

"The last Greater Forest Dragon was killed thousands of years ago… How did you obtain its egg, and why is it hatching now?!" A High Elf at the Keltia rank asked all of a sudden. He was skeptical of the Dracos and couldn\'t allow the Royal Princess to fall into the trap that was being spread out right in front of her.

"There is no need for you to believe my words. However, you should understand that I will die the moment I lie while signing the Soul Contract we will have to set up before our fight. I understand your concerns but we don\'t lie. That\'s against our pride as descendants of the Great Dragons!" The Dracos Leader thundered at the end. He raised his right arm into the air and spit flames out of his palms.

In response to this action, the other Dracos began to shout out loud as well. They repeated the same action as their leader, raised their right arm into the air, and released searing hot flames from their palms.

Nial visualized this with great interest. The entire conversation was pretty intriguing, especially since it looked like the Royal Princess wanted to get her hands on the Greater Forest Dragon\'s egg.

Nial wasn\'t aware of its true worth but considering that the Royal Princess was uncertain whether to accept the item they had bet, or just to wage a war in the Forest of Life was more than enough to understand the egg\'s value.

The Forest of Life was prepared for an all-out war right now. They had received more than enough time to make sure that everything would be ready for an attack!

"Your life is not important enough for me to trust you. I can already tell that your senior ordered you to lie about the Greater Forest Dragon\'s egg and to die if you were to lose the bet against us. Don\'t think that we\'re foolish enough to trust a single word from someone like you!" The same skeptical High Elf from before said, his eyes filled with anger and even hatred.

\'They really resent each other…\' Nial thought as he visualized thousands of Dracos that were ready to tear off the High Elves\' heads. The Elves, no matter which sub-race they hailed from, had a similar vibe. They didn\'t look angered because their expressions were stoic and seemingly without emotion. However, the pressure their bodies exuded was nothing to scoff at.

Nial was not sure if he had made a mistake by trying to decrease the casualties as much as possible. He had been hoping to deal with the Dracos since his impression of Ophelia had been really good. She was tremendously talented and her personality was as good as her talent.

At least that was what he remembered about her, including that she had teased him after winning the Runicier tournament in the Golden City.

Turning his head back to his subordinates, the Dracos Leader gave everybody a cold look making everybody turn silent. Even if the High Elf wanted to provoke the Dracos Leader and his people, it was quite obvious that his words were true. His life was not valuable enough to bet against the Empress\' Divinity Fragment.

That was a matter of fact and a bitter truth not a reason to get agitated about.

"All of us will sign the Soul Contract, and more than a hundred thousand Dracos and thousands of powerful monsters will become your slaves for eternity if we don\'t bring you the Greater Forest Dragon\'s egg upon losing. Though I doubt it will be necessary to say that, but we won\'t lose either way!" The Dracos leader said in a calm tone, which was a stark contrast to the angry, yet, somewhat excited expression he showed.

"We won\'t even be able to kill ourselves or each other upon signing the Soul Contract, that is if the Royal Princess is willing to bet the Empress\' Divinity Fragment against the Greater Forest Dragon\'s egg! You might spout nonsense and question our value and worth again, but I can reassure you that we are a proud race. Everyone here is a Master Blacksmith at the bare minimum and also a Runicier, though most are not Master Runiciers!

You will eventually earn a big fortune with us as your slaves, that is, if I\'m really lying about the Greater Forest Dragon!!"

\'Damn…even I want to bet on the Empress\' Divinity Fragment!\'

Nial didn\'t know what the Royal Princess wanted to do with a Greater Forest Dragon hatchling, but he could tell that having a fleet of Dracos, and their monsters at his disposal would surely be a huge benefit.

If they were to become his slaves, no Origin human would ever lack runic armaments of all Tiers. He would teach the best Runicier Dracos how Broken Runic Armaments are created, mass produce them, and sell everything to his people before he would expand his business.

The economy within the human shelters would receive a boost and skyrocket because everyone would be able to raid dungeons much easier. Everyone\'s wealth would increase rapidly and it would only be a matter of time before their mana core ranks would increase as well.

Nial didn\'t even notice that he was licking his dry lips and that his demeanor was slowly changing. He didn\'t like having slaves but he would love to have 100,000 well-trained Artisans in his Orion Artisan Guild. The Dracos could also raid stronger dungeons with their tamed dungeon beasts.

All of this would be quite interesting, but it looked like his expression and change in demeanor were misunderstood.

The Royal Princess looked at Nial for a few seconds and a faint smile emerged on her lips. Her conflicting thoughts were cleared up at the sight of the blind human and she turned to the Dracos Leader.

"Alright…in that case, I will choose Nial as our representative!" The Royal Princess declared proudly and a cold smile appeared on her face.

The Elves froze when they heard what the Royal Princess said. They had been certain that Evalyne would reject every possible offer simply because it was way too dangerous to bet on the Empress\' Divinity Fragment.

It was also pretty certain that the Forest of Life wouldn\'t succumb to the flames of the Dracos and their tamed beasts.

However, the Elves were not the only ones to be astonished. Even the Dracos Leader could hardly fathom that the Royal Princess had agreed to the bet so easily, let alone that she would drag someone who didn\'t belong to their race in their trouble.

Nial was human, and only at the Peak of the Prometheus rank. The Dracos Leader couldn\'t really understand what was going on…

And while looking at the blind human, it was pretty obvious that Nial was just as astonished as everyone else.

\'She tricked me!!\' Nial screamed in his mind, feeling the urge to twist the Royal Princess\' neck…well, not really…

\'What the hell is she planning?!\'
