Chapter 184

The wolf cub was still young after all, and its mentality had already collapsed under Adam's cruel methods. It had forgotten its previous strength and persistence, as well as its strange hatred towards the dragon race, and actually said such a weak sentence.

But even if it forgot, Adam did not.

"Why do you hate the dragon race?" Adam asked again.

The wolf cub immediately stopped crying and replied, "The dragon race is a traitor. They betrayed the world during the invasion, betrayed the world when our ancestors decided to seal the dimensional rift, and finally betrayed our ancestors after the Covenant was signed."

It was a short sentence, but the wolf cub's tone became calmer and calmer. He felt that he was going to die. There was a dragon in front of him, and no dragon would be happy to hear what he said just now. Since he was going to die, he might as well say it directly. "The dragon race is the most despicable race in the world. They are lazy, cruel, and treacherous …"

Before he could finish, he saw Adam lowering his head. The wolf cub thought that Adam was going to eat him, and was so scared that his eyes narrowed, but they immediately widened again.

Adam did not have the intention to eat him, but he was not in the mood to listen to his nonsense. He only asked, "Why did the dragon race continuously betray the world?"

"I don't know."

"What is the name of a powerful being that surpasses the elders?"

"Among the werewolves, it is called a sage."

"Why can't the elders be born again?"

"Because the world is injured."

"Why is the dragon race not affected?"

"I don't know."

Adam asked several questions in a row, but the wolf cub knew very little, especially when it came to the dragon race. After he could not think of any other questions, Adam threw him back into the cage and walked out.

"Did he lie?"

When Adam was interrogating the wolf cub, the Devil was watching the entire process in his mind, and replied, "I don't think so."

"Don't think so?"

The Devil hurriedly said, "If these natives did not have the ability to hide their soul waves in their infancy, then everything he said would be true. But who knows if they have the ability or not?" It felt a little wronged by Adam's distrust.

Adam ignored it. After confirming that the little wolf was not lying, he chased the Devil back into the Drakonid body from his mind, walking as he sorted out the information he had just obtained.

Based on the little wolf's answer, it was confirmed that there was a foreign plane that was hostile to the Dragon Plane. Furthermore, the war had already been waged in ancient times. Although the natives of the Dragon Plane had defeated the invaders, they had paid a heavy price. The powerful beings that flew into the sky in the murals and the sages that the little wolf mentioned probably corresponded to the extraordinary levels of the mage world. Now, they were probably all dead. Even if they were still alive, they wouldn't be in a better situation than the previous elder.

Adam guessed that the reason why there were so few powerhouses in the Dragon Plane was because of the lack of Origin Energy. That awkwardly named foreign plane must have some kind of method to plunder Origin Energy.

This was very important. The reason why the World of Mages could become stronger and stronger was because of the planar sacrificial magic array. As far as Adam knew, there was no other plane in the Void that had this kind of technology.

Now, in Adam's' Novice Mission ', he had encountered a plane that was suspected to have similar technology. If the news was confirmed and sent back to the World of Mages, The Fifth Element Holy Tower would not sit still.

"Looks like I've hit the jackpot," Adam muttered to himself.

Two months flew by in the blink of an eye. The Free City had become very different from before. There were signs of prosperity.

There were two more products that the mayor sold: snow monster slaves and frost giant slaves.

They did not forget about the covenant to help each other. After discovering that the werewolf tribe was empty and the underground space had collapsed, the entire tribe launched an attack on the only possible culprit, the Free City.

There was no doubt that they had failed.

The strength of the two tribes was similar to that of the werewolves. There was one extraordinary being in each tribe who had survived using a secret method. However, perhaps because their souls were weaker than the werewolves, the power that the extraordinary being left behind was very weak. Adam had used two elemental missiles to send them on their last journey.

The remaining tribesmen had all become prisoners.

Adam had been to the tribes of these two tribes, but he did not find any buildings similar to ancestral shrines. He was not surprised. The werewolves were considered to have some brains, but they did not find any written inheritance. The brains of these two tribes were only made of muscles. It was expected that there was no ancient information left behind.

The adventurers coming and going in the Free City brought an unprecedented bustling scene to the wasteland. The various buildings that the Devil had built were also put to good use.

However, the adventurers felt that the Free City was very strange. It was not only because it was built on the icy wasteland that had been regarded as a forbidden area since ancient times, nor was it because it seemed to be in good order despite having no rules. It was because the Dragonborn mayor had set a rule that transactions with the mayor's residence would not accept currency or elemental crystals. They only wanted strange items and things that looked like strange items but had been proven to be useless by them.

Strange items were a unified term used by the natives of the Dragon Plane for mystical items with special functions.

However, this was not strange to Adam and the Devil. The currency of the Dragon Plane and the energy stones that they called elemental crystals were worthless to Adam. On the contrary, the special items that they thought to be worthless were treasures to Adam.

"Capture a Dragon Whelp and hand it to the mayor's residence. The mission reward is 75,555 units of elemental crystals or items of the same value. The reward for a Frost Dragon Whelp will be doubled. The mayor will personally host a bloodline promotion ceremony."

On this day, a mission issued by the mayor's residence caused a huge uproar. The adventurers found it hard to believe that there was actually a second force in this world that dared to publicly announce the hunting of dragons other than the Dragon Slayer Organization.

Apart from that, although the 75,555 units of elemental crystals were tempting, the news that was revealed afterward was even more maddening: bloodline promotion!

In this world where bloodline determined one's strength, this was a condition that could tempt anyone. In order to promote their bloodline, not to mention a Dragon Whelp, even if the target was a real giant dragon, there would still be people who dared to fight it.

No one was worried that the Free City would break the contract because no one dared to fool so many races. Once the contract was broken, even if the mayor of the Free City was a giant dragon, he would not be able to escape the fate of the city being destroyed.

Of course, this was only what they said to comfort themselves. Even if Adam really couldn't do it, the possibility of them being united was very slim.

The commotion in the Free City and the opening of the Icefield Slave Trade once again became a hot topic and spread to the various cities of the Race Alliance. At this time, the mysterious Dragon Slayer Organization finally made a move.

They sent an emissary to the Free City to establish a branch and discuss matters of alliance.

At the same time, for the first time in a long time, Adam received an active contact from Lina. "Master, I have received an appointment from the Dragon Slayer Organization. I will arrive in your city soon."

The emissary was Lina.
