Chapter 185

Adam had already given up on Lina's mission.

If the Dragon Slayer Organization was an organization similar to the idiots who worshipped evil gods in the world of sorcerers, and was used to communicate and offer sacrifices to other planes, then Lina might be able to infiltrate the upper echelons of the organization. She might even be able to take control of the organization.

However, based on the current information, the Dragon Slayer Organization was built by the remnants of the World War, which meant that the natives of the Dragon Plane had no chance of entering the upper echelons.

Now, the Dragon Slayer Organization's decision had caught Adam off guard. He had never thought that the organization would act in such a … whimsical manner.

They even sent a gift.

A Frost Dragon Cub.

Half a month later.

"Master, I also want to be transformed by you like Canbi." Upon seeing Adam, Lina lifted up her emissary's signature cloak and acted coquettishly.

Adam first ordered the Devil, "Send the Frost Dragon Cub to my laboratory. Apart from you, don't let anyone near it."

The Devil obeyed and left. Lina looked at it strangely. She felt that the Drakonid had the same aura as her master.

In just a few months, Lina had changed a lot. She was no longer trembling with fear in front of Adam. Now, she was brimming with confidence.

As Adam's most capable subordinate, Lina's modification request was naturally not a problem. He ignored Lina's happy expression and asked directly, "Tell me everything you know about the Dragon Slayer Organization."

Lina's expression became serious. She began to tell him everything that had happened in the past few months.

"… We finally found an emissary who was on a mission to a Fire Dragon's territory. We stopped her before she reached the territory." Lina paused, then continued, "She was an Astral. She was very strong, much stronger than I was back then. Her fire elemental abilities …"

Adam interrupted her, "Get to the point."

Lina angrily stopped talking. She had carefully thought about this part for a long time. It was her biggest bargaining chip to claim credit, but she didn't expect to be interrupted. However, her master's orders were not something she could disobey. She could only make it short, "Twenty-one of my slaves died. I finally killed that Spirit Race emissary."

Adam's eyes narrowed, "Killed? You paid such a huge price just to get a corpse? "

Hearing the displeasure in Adam's voice, Lina woke up from her self-confidence and stammered, "Y-yes, but it's not over yet!"

"Continue. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation." Adam's voice was cold.

Adam's change in mood put a lot of pressure on Lina. She finally realized once again that authority could only raise her status. However, in front of Adam, she was still that little maid who could be easily crushed. Lina no longer dared to emphasize the price she had paid. She jumped straight to the point, "The Dragon Slayer Organization discovered this matter. Another emissary came looking for me, but he didn't punish me. Instead, he brought me good news. The Dragon Slayer Organization has appointed me as their new emissary. My first task is to bring a gift to the Free Cities."

She took a deep breath and continued without waiting for Adam to ask, "Furthermore, I obtained a miraculous item. The Dragon Slayer Organization calls it the Extraction Technique. When I followed the Extraction Technique's instructions, I could feel the power of my bloodline continuously increasing."

The identity of an emissary, a Frost Dragon whelp, and a suspected inheritance. These three added together were enough to offset the loss of twenty-one Nature Controllers. Lina felt the pressure on her disappear, and she let out a sigh of relief.

"Tell me the contents of the Extraction Technique."

Lina's expression changed again. She hesitantly said, "Master, I'm afraid I can't. The Extraction Technique was directly imprinted in my body by the emissary. He told me that if I spread it, I would die." She was afraid that Adam wouldn't believe her, so she emphasized, "Master, I'm telling the truth."

Adam looked at her without saying a word. The pressure on Lina suddenly increased. Cold sweat flowed down her face, but she didn't dare to move.

Just as she was about to speak, the door was pushed open and the Dragonborn walked in.

"Stand still and let me see," the Dragonborn said casually. Then, he reached out a finger and poked it into Lina's head.

Devils were experts in souls and contracts. This kind of restriction that sounded like a contract was exactly what a Devil was good at.

A moment later, the Devil said to Adam through the contract, "It feels very strange. There is indeed a restriction, but it's not a contract. I can't tell what it is, but it seems to be related to the origin."

"If I forcefully read it, will it affect my true body?" This was the question that Adam was most concerned about.

The Devil said without hesitation, "No, even if there is a countermeasure, I can cut it off. It definitely won't affect you."

After receiving the Devil's promise, Adam gestured for him to leave. Then, he said to Lina, who was trembling in place and didn't even dare to treat her wounds, "Take care of your wounds and the things you need to tell the slaves. I'll wait for you in the lab."

— — —

The laboratory was located in the most remote corner of Freedom City, and no one was allowed to enter within a five-kilometer radius. Some reckless adventurers were very curious about this fifteen-meter-tall building and wanted to sneak in to check it out. However, they were never able to do so.

As Adam walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, he adjusted the ice element within the range of the Draconic Aura. Through constant fine-tuning, he achieved the effect of visual deception. In the eyes of creatures below the level of Extraordinary, Adam didn't exist.

In the lab, the Frost Dragon was sleeping in its cage. According to Lina, this was a young dragon that was close to thirty years old. However, it was only three meters long. Compared to Adam's current nine-meter dragon body, there was a huge difference. One could imagine how slow the natural growth of dragons was.

Although he was very interested in her, Adam suppressed his desire to study her. The most important thing now was that Lina might have important knowledge that came from another plane.

The young dragon was fed a secret medicine. Lina said that without the antidote and medicine, the young dragon would need two days to wake up naturally. However, perhaps because it felt the Draconic Aura of its own kind, the young dragon woke up in a daze.

Adam thought about it and didn't do anything. It was good to talk to her in advance. If he could persuade her to hand over the inheritance, Adam felt that he could spare her dragon life.

The Frost Dragon got up from the ground and fell on its butt. It stretched out its dragon claws to rub its butt and eyes, and found that there was a giant dragon in front of it.

She suddenly felt wronged and shed tears. Big drops of tears fell on the ground and made a crisp sound. Then, she cried, "Are you here to save Sophia? Sophia was taken away by bad people. Poor thing! "
