A strange world

Chapter 1350 Section 272. Intention to form an alliance

Grasty almost convinced Dragon Mother, but Dragon Father was still a little unwilling. Grasty continued: "There is a proverb in Liberty City: There are a thousand birds in the forest, it is better to have one bird in your hand."

"Elimayas, Grasty, follow me to see the clan leader."

The Dragon Mother said, flapping her huge dragon wings and rushing towards the resting place.

Grasty jumped on Elimoas's back and followed her mother.

"What method did Annan use to get you back?" Grasty's thirst for knowledge was very strong.

"Children don't know."

Grasty mused: "So you've already done it? Will a dragon conceive a human child? Will you give birth in dragon form or human form?"

Elimoas didn't want to answer her sister's boring question: "There is too little homework."

"I also feel that the textbooks written by professors are not as fast as mine. If this continues, I'm afraid I will have to start studying abroad." Grasti said distressedly.

Elimoas thought that Grasty might be more suitable to be a Free City dragon than herself.

On the ground, the blue dragons gathered as families on hills and hills, surrounded by family members making fires and cooking.

In a few days, the blue dragon tribe only migrated less than 500 miles.

A horde of gnolls, kobolds, and a handful of beastmen slowed them down.

Arriving at the center of the hills, Ilimoyas followed her mother to the largest hill, where an ancient dragon as huge as a hill was entrenched.

Its scales are a deep blue, do not reflect any luster, and are as rugged as rocks. The old head is covered with traces of time, but not only does it not remind people of aging, but it adds majesty and immortality.

Standing in front of it, Ilimoyas was as small and insignificant as a human standing in front of herself.

As soon as she landed, she heard her mother talking to the clan leader: "...Annan is willing to give us 20% of the gold mine."

When the ancient dragon spoke, its voice was like ancient thunder echoing in the empty hills: "The Broken Mountains... where is the Lake of Ten Thousand Lakes?"

"Clan leader, I don't know..."

It seemed like its vertical pupils containing stars fell on Ilimayas: "What do you think?"

"You asked me?"

The clan leader said: "Elimayas, you are the only blue dragon who has been to the Broken Mountains. You know better whether it is suitable for the survival of the clan."

Ilimoyasi lowered her head and thought for a while: "The Broken Mountain Range is very vast, not too noisy, not too remote, and is suitable for our habitat. There are some human forces there, but Annan will help us solve them."

"Then do you think we should agree to him?"

The ancient dragon's questions exceeded the responsibilities that a young blue dragon should bear, and Ilimoyas felt real pressure.

At this time, Grasti touched her wings with his head and took the initiative to share the responsibility: "Old patriarch, we have no reason to refuse."

The pair of dragon eyes bigger than Grasty's body fell on it: "Why?"

Grasti showed no stage fright: "Have you heard of the Viessmann Emperor?"

Emperor Viseman was also a legendary figure during the human expedition out of Wilhelm. At the same time, he established the Feo Sky Island, which is now one of the Thirteen Supreme Kings - the Rainbow City.

Some memories appeared in the old patriarch's eyes: "You mean the little man who stuttered a little?"

Grasty continued: "Feo Sky Island is still the paradise of griffons, all because the griffons initially chose Emperor Viseman."

"You have very high praise for Annan." the old patriarch said.

"Because I live in Liberty City, I know the ideas of those humans, what they are doing, and the future they imagine."

Grasty told the "terrible" truth it saw in Free City: the academy that imparts knowledge has no threshold, and any race is welcome to enter and learn, even goblins and even civilians.

"Like 'pie'?"

Grasty knew about Pie—Mr. Fast, Bronzebeard, was a former member of that organization, after all.

"More stable than the Pies because they learned everything from Free City?"

Therefore, it is almost impossible for a "party" to fall apart due to some external force.

The old patriarch said slowly: "But my child, you are still young and do not understand how fickle the short-lived species are. They change orders every day, and any decrees and oaths will only last for a few decades."

"So how do you trust your future successor to not change your mind?"

Grasty answered the old patriarch's question from another angle: "Annan is a warlock and half-immortal species."

"Hmm...interesting answer."

The old patriarch raised his head slightly:

"I can agree to Annan's invitation, but he has to accept a test."

…

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

"What test?"

Ilimoyasi relayed: "You must ensure that the blue dragons can live in this land permanently and stably, and will not be invaded by people with malicious intentions."

It sounds confusing at first—how could a species at the top of the biological chain worry about this?

But I am not afraid of thieves stealing, I am afraid that thieves will miss me. Giant dragons are full of treasures, and there is no guarantee that a profit-minded dragon-slaying team will not target them.

Compared with other blue dragons who care about treasure, the clan leader cares more about the continuation of the entire clan, or in other words - this clan is its "treasure".

Annan quickly gave a reply: "This is easy to do. We can form an alliance."

"Alliance?"

The dragon mother on the other side of the portal repeated.

"Yes, alliance. Whoever is against you at that time will be against Free City!"

A human saying this to a group of dragons is like a little boy holding a wooden sword telling a princess that he will protect her, but Annan's expression is unquestionable and firm.

"Do humans listen to you?"

"Maybe not for the time being...but I think it won't be long before Free City will be no less powerful than any other force."

This is something that both the dragon mother and the old patriarch agree with.

The dragon mother, representing the old patriarch, did not express aversion to the alliance-this is good news for Annan.

The blue dragon tribe covets the Broken Mountains, while Annan covets the blue dragons themselves. If they can form an alliance with them, Free City's shortcoming: the lack of high-end combat power will be completely solved.

If Annan wants to do something, the blue dragons may not do it, but if Free City is in danger, they will never sit idly by - and with the greedy nature of the dragons, Annan can just spend money to hire them.

The Dragon Mother did not agree immediately, nor did she reject it. She said that she would wait until the blue dragons arrived at the Broken Mountains before deciding whether to form an alliance.

"When can you get here?"

"Tomorrow."

It was already night, and Joan and the others also needed to rest.

"Then tomorrow, we will go and settle with Lord Raymond!"
