350 Conditions to Collaborate on the Bloodline Improvemen (1/2)

”It isn't impossible for me to help you with that, but I have some conditions.”

Yale was already expecting that Ronragruk would ask for his help in that matter, but he couldn't just agree to do it in any circumstance.

”It is reasonable to put conditions. Speak.”

Ronragruk had never expected that Yale could agree without asking for something, and after seeing Yale's battle prowess, he was even more confident that Yale would ask for something in exchange.

”First, you must tell everything about this plan to the Dragon Race and the lizardmen tribe. Everyone must know about it to avoid misunderstandings.”

The last thing Yale wanted was that another misunderstanding was created between both tribes due to acting stealthily. After all, both had misunderstandings in the past, and although the most powerful members of the Lizardman God Cult died, it was difficult to ensure that there wasn't anyone who would do something similar after hearing that Ronragruk was transforming lizardmen into members of the Dragon Race.

Moreover, there were high chances of members of the same family battling against each other if one of them transformed and the others not, and Yale wanted to avoid that problem.

”Second, the transformation of the bloodline will be completely voluntary. Neither you nor anyone else can force others to have the evolution of their bloodlines even if the change of the bloodline is for their own sake.”

Yale wasn't against of investigating bloodlines and improving them, but that was always with the consent of the experimented party, he would refuse to collaborate to do something like that if the others didn't want to do it.

He knew what happened in the eastern continent and gave birth to half-beasts, and those experiments without caring about those being experimented were something that Yale hoped that never happened again.

”Third, all the members of the lizardman tribe should be allowed to join the Dragon Race with or without transformation of the bloodline.”

Ronragruk frowned a bit hearing that point, but he didn't interrupt Yale.

”Fourth, there mustn't be any discrimination for those who hadn't improved their bloodline. All of them should be treated equally.”

Yale knew that if the lizardmen couldn't join the Dragon Race tribe or had fewer rights than the others, they would ask for the improvement in the bloodline even if they weren't willing, and for Yale, that was the same as forcing them.

”Fifth and last, I will be the one in charge of the improvement of bloodlines, and you will help me with anything I ask you for that purpose. However, I can't stay here indefinitely. After we standardized a transformation process, I will leave, and you must continue following the previous rules even after that moment.”

That last part seemed logical for Ronragruk at the start since Yale seemed used to modify bloodlines, but the part of making him continue following the same rules after Yale had left was a bit more difficult to endure.

After all, his intention was originally forcing all the lizardmen to improve their bloodlines, and in case someone refused, forbid that lizardman from joining the tribe. At most he thought of letting them join, but with fewer rights to force them to ask for the improvement of the bloodline.

Yale's conditions were completely against his intentions like if he had seen through him, and in fact, that was the truth because Yale obtained some information about him in their previous battle.

”Aren't those conditions a bit too harsh?”

If Ronragruk wanted to improve the bloodlines of the lizardmen by relying on his own power, no one could put conditions to him, but since he asked Yale for collaboration, and Yale would create the method for improving the bloodlines, he couldn't just ignore Yale's conditions.

”Those are basic things if you want me to collaborate. I won't let a tragedy like the one happened in the eastern continent to happen again. If you don't want to agree I will just leave and you can do it as you want, but not on my sight.”

Yale's voice was so cold at that Ronragruk felt that it wouldn't be strange if the floor started to freeze.
