Chapter 465 - Give You a Gold Coin for Compensation (2/2)

When Bryant saw it, he flinched, finally losing his cool. “The Dragon Duke Seal, it’s black, the Red Dragon Queen, how… how?! That old hag… You’re only twenty-one!”

The black Dragon Duke Seal was special. Bryant was very smart and had read many books. He was familiar with all of these secrets.

Before seeing this seal, Bryant was confident in his trip. But now, Link unexpectedly had the dragons’ support… The High Elves weren’t afraid of dragons or Ferde, but when they were allied, they were more than a match for the Isle of Dawn.

Link didn’t speak. He stayed silent, waiting for Bryant to sort through his thoughts.

After a long while, Bryant finally recovered. He still wasn’t willing. Staring closely at Link, he said, “Are you really going to turn my race into your enemies? Think carefully. This will be an extremely difficult road. Three hundred years ago, I tried it too, but reality told me it was impossible.”

Link didn’t reply. He stood up and retreated, taking out the Dragon King’s Fury sword. He didn’t use any power but pretended to stab Bryant three times.

It was strange. Link’s sword didn’t contain any power, and his movements were laughably slow. He was stabbing seemingly unimportant areas on Bryant’s limbs instead of critical organs, too. But Bryant’s body shook violently with every stab.

After those three stabs, Bryant’s forehead was covered in sweat. His face was as white as paper.

Clang. Link put his sword away and smiled thinly. “I’m good at casually finding someone’s Achilles’ heel, and that’s true for both people and races. If you don’t trust me, we can try it.”

Bryant could barely stand up. “Thirty percent!” he gritted.

Link shook his head.

“Ten percent. Nothing less!”

Link still shook his head. He tossed a gold coin at Bryant. “If you really want to benefit, you can have this coin. Nothing more.”

Bryant didn’t want to accept it. He didn’t even reach out, but somehow, he felt something cold in his hand. It was the gold coin. Link had used a spatial spell to transport the coin into his hand.

The coolness stimulated Bryant’s palm, making his cheeks burn. An ineffable humiliation surged in his heart. He took out his wand, his Mana automatically surging.

Link chuckled. He just watched Bryant, waiting for him to do something.

Slowly, the Mana ripples on Bryant’s body calmed down. He stared at Link, having seemingly aged many years. “Young man, you will pay for your arrogant actions!”

With that, he turned and left. His silhouette was slouched now, and the powerful aura was gone. All that remained was the thick feeling of age and lethargy.

Seeing his back, Link knew that the talks were over. He would soon welcome the High Elves’ attacks.

“I heard that the High Elves have a secret force called the Black Thorn. The Assassins are all very skilled. Among them, there’s a duo called the Double Shadows. They have a Legendary dagger each and high speed magic equipment. They’ve never failed any of their missions. Go back and tell your queen that I’d like to witness them.”

Bryant flinched. He was extremely shocked. Both the Black Thorn and Double Shadows were confidential secrets of the Isle of Dawn. If Link knew, it meant he’d made sufficient preparations.

He didn’t know that Link had received all this information from the game.

“Your wish will come true.” Bryant sped up.

He left the Mage Tower without stopping. Once outside, he transformed into a cloud of light and flew towards the sea. After a while, he was above the gyromagnetic iron. He saw light in the mine. Many miners were digging right then with continuous dings and clings.

He impulsively wanted to throw a corrosive light ball down and turn all the damn miners into mud, but he forced the urge down.

Flying past it, he was thousands of feet into the sea. There was a ball of mist there. Passing into it, he saw the three Silver Storm Sparrows anchored there. Bryant landed on the deck of a warship.

A Magician instantly went over. It was Level-9 Magician Vonhelon. “Prophet, how was it?” he asked.

“It’s over.” Bryant’s face was dark.

“Then… do we?” Vonhelon pointed at the mine in the distance.

“No, let’s go back. The situation is beyond my expectations. When we return, I will personally report the specifics to Her Highness.” With that, Bryant went straight into the cabin, leaving a confused and upset Vonhelon.

After a while, the High Elf fleet started back. Whoosh, whoosh went the crashing waves. The three ships quietly left Ferde’s sea.

On the seaside, Link watched as the Silver Storm Sparrows left. He let out a relieved breath. He had actually had been worried that Bryant would lose his temper and act recklessly. Things would have become troublesome, which was why he’d run over.

Now that they’d left, the situation was much better.

Seeing the Silver Storm Sparrows fade away, Link turned to go back into the Mage Tower, but after a few steps, he suddenly felt something and looked towards the southern sea. He could feel something hiding there. It was a weird thing that seemed to follow the Silver Storm Sparrows.

Almost at the same time, a message popped up in his vision.

Link was already curious. He immediately cast a minor Levitation spell and used the Spatial Distortion Force Field to push himself. He also cast an Invisibility spell and started following the Silver Storm Sparrows from thousands of feet away.
