Chapter 172

Most reptiles preferred warm and humid environments. Even extraordinary creatures like dragons were the same. Apart from frost dragons, no one would choose to build their nest in a cold and desolate place.

Moreover, even frost dragons would almost 655% choose to build their nest in a higher terrain. This would save them a lot of trouble, and allow them to devote their limited time to unlimited sleep.

Therefore, the icy plains were Adam's best choice at present. Without the threat of other dragons, there were no complicated races to expel, and the annoying dragon-slaying warriors would also reduce their frequency of harassment due to the harsh cold.

This would bring him a lot of time to develop, and could be said to be the most ideal place to build his nest at present.

"Then, Canbi, do you know the exact location of the icy plains?"

Canbi repeatedly nodded. "I do, my lord. The icy plains is at the legendary world boundary, and is the northernmost part of our world."

World boundary. If not for Canbi mentioning it, Adam would've forgotten about this concept. The world of mages was too vast. Moreover, due to its powerful origin and planar sacrificial magic, it was constantly expanding. Ordinary mages would find it hard to find a true world boundary. However, in this plane, the world boundary was eternally unchanging. If ordinary races were lucky, they could personally come in contact with it.

After knowing about the existence of the world boundary, the icy plains held an even greater significance to Adam. The planar sacrificial magic runic array had to be placed at the strongest, weakest, and most unstable point of the plane. The world boundary was definitely one of them.

Adam raised his spirits and asked Canbi. "Have you been there before?"

Canbi's excited expression turned sluggish as he replied somewhat embarrassedly, "No, my lord. That place isn't suitable for us to live in. Therefore, very few foreign races would approach it. However, I know the icy plains aren't too far from here. "

Adam nodded and kindly patted Canbi's shoulder with his wings. "Lead the way. If the information is true, you will obtain everything you desire."

After Adam left the tribe, Lina led the remaining tribesmen to welcome the Dragon Slayer emissary. She had written a script about the extermination of her tribe, and was prepared to convince the emissary with it.

However, there was still one big problem. There were too many survivors, and they were too strong. Nearly forty Nature Controllers were a powerful force no matter where they went. If he wanted to increase his credibility, he would have to hide a portion of his clansmen until he successfully joined the Dragon Slayer Organization. Then, he would gradually take them back.

She pointed out three weaker elves to follow her, then ordered the rest of the elves to disperse. She adjusted her mood and slowly approached the messenger.

"You are … forest elves? How can he be so strong!? "The emissary quickly landed on the ground and assumed a defensive posture.

Lina was pleasantly surprised. She asked excitedly, "Excuse me, are you the emissary of the Dragon Slayer Organization?"

The emissary became even more vigilant. Elemental fluctuations overflowed from his body, and his feet sank into the ground. He was ready to attack or escape at any time. "Who are you people? How did he know my identity? No! You're spying on me! You guys are the ones who have been spying on my whereabouts?! "

Lina put on a sorrowful expression and said, "Sir, we are the forest elves of the Green Leaf Tribe. Our tribe was destroyed and only a few of us survived."

The messenger said suspiciously, "Green Leaf Tribe? I remember your tribe leader is called Jensen. Where did he go? "

Lina felt disdain in her heart. She thought that a force that dared to go against the dragons would be powerful. She didn't expect that the emissary they sent was just a rookie. Such a low-level test …

"Jensen? No, sir emissary, my father is called Vernon. Before he died, he told us to wait for you. He said that only the organization has the ability to avenge us! "

"Please believe us. Everyone in the tribe and my father were killed by the evil Frost Dragon. We want revenge. Please let us join the Dragon Slayer Organization!"

Clumsy and exaggerated acting. Lina thought to herself. She felt that if she heard such words, she would never believe it. But miraculously, the emissary on the other side believed it.

Although the emissary didn't give up on gathering energy, he was much less vigilant. It wasn't that there weren't any unlucky tribes under the rule of the dragons. They were exterminated because of something that angered the dragons. Previously, he heard that the Green Leaf Tribe had regained their freedom. It seemed that the temperamental dragon had changed his mind.

The Dragon Slayer Organization had absorbed many of such tribes. Although they were few in number, they were powerful enough. After all, they were nature controllers, an extremely rare profession.

Moreover, the emissary had absolute confidence that even if these forest elves were problematic, they wouldn't betray the organization after witnessing its might. Because it was a path to strength, allowing the mortal races to break free from the shackles of their bloodline. It was a method to 'cultivate' like the dragons!

Above the wasteland, Adam adjusted his direction, then grabbed Canbi and flew above the clouds. The bitter cold made Adam feel comfortable, but Canbi wasn't used to it at all. He could only wrap his body in energy, and curl into a ball as he shivered.

"Master, your little maid has contacted the Dragon Slayer Organization." The journey was very boring. The Devil was bored to death, so he projected his consciousness into the slave's body, borrowing the slave's eyes to observe different scenes.

"Did it go smoothly?"

"Inconceivably smoothly. This organization doesn't seem to have a brain." The Devil was still brooding over Adam's evaluation. "The little maid only said a few words, and he believed her."

Adam was slightly startled. He had previously agreed to Lina's request to reveal his existence and the bloodline purification experiment in exchange for her trust. However, he didn't expect that trust would come so easily.

Indeed, this was a highly problematic organization. Adam was basically certain that their ultimate goal wasn't as simple as dragon slaying. The conspiracy behind them must be astonishing and bizarre. Otherwise, no organization would be so careless in recruiting members. This was equivalent to exposing themselves to the prying eyes of others without reservation.

"Unless they're doing it on purpose. But what can numbers do?" Adam couldn't figure it out.

The demon muttered, "This Dragon Slayer Organization doesn't seem like an alliance at all. It's more like a religion. Only a religion would recruit members without any scruples, because only a religion would have such a wide range of strange brainwashing methods."

Adam abruptly halted his flight, coincidentally dodging a gigantic thunderbolt ahead. He felt that the Devil had hit the nail on the head. The Dragon Slayer Organization's methods were indeed like a religion. Their goal was to recruit believers and condense the power of faith?

"This plane isn't as simple as I imagined."
