I became the old one

Chapter 209 The Returning Fire Essence, The Great Chief's Reward (Subscribe)

After finishing the conversation with Kratos, Nop already had a general idea in mind about how to deal with the fire spirits.

As the saying goes, a small meeting is held for small things, and a small meeting is held for big things.

For issues related to the empire as a whole, there are basically only a few pioneers who make decisions in the end.

But now, on the planet Lagnia, which is basically isolated from the world, there is no response from the gods, no contact with the rest of the forerunners, and only Nop can make a choice.

Another way to deal with the problem is to gather all the dragonborn in the base together.

Vote.

The dragon descendants in the base are all Knopp's cronies.

He knew a little about his brothers, and he knew that the final result of the vote might not be too different from what he expected.

"If that's the case, let me be a dictator for once." Nuop looked up at the sky, and the red light of the sun could be seen faintly on the gray sky, "If the time comes, if today's decision really brings disaster, Then let me alone bear the consequences of this matter."

Just like Kratos said.

In this case, even in the worst case, it is only Nop who is punished, and the rest of the scientific researchers in the base have nothing to do with this matter.

"I can let you go, but there are prerequisites."

Nope returned to his laboratory, and Huo Jing's deputy commander, Gracia, still stayed here obediently, with a flattering smile on his face, without any expression of impatience.

"You say."

Gracia smiled and replied: "You are the most sincere friend of our Huo Jing. Let alone one condition, even if it is ten or one hundred conditions, as long as the requirements are met, we can agree to you."

"To be honest, I still can't fully trust you." Nope said: "But your proposal is also reasonable. You can leave from the planet Lagnia, but only the person I designate can control the spaceship to leave. You and The others must stay in the outpost, and I will choose to release you only after this matter has a good result."

The smile on Gracia's face slowly became a little stiff.

However, after noticing the killing intent vaguely released from Nop, Gracia immediately behaved a lot.

"Of course." He nodded repeatedly. As a prisoner, he is not qualified to bargain.

"Then the matter is decided like this."

Knop took a deep breath and rubbed his temples with a tired expression on his face.Making this decision seemed to consume all his strength and energy.

……

After getting the permission of Nope.

A part of the fire essence was released, and they manipulated the spaceship to leave from the planet Grania.

After leaving the Granita planet, these fire spirits immediately showed a relieved expression.Most of the fire spirits are physically weak, far from the monster-like physique of dragon descendants.

Live with dragonborn without gear.

It is indeed a very stressful thing for these fire spirits, and they also need to disguise their true nature in the process of getting along.This is simply torture both physically and mentally.

Thankfully this difficult time is over...

However, Huo Jing didn't spend much time in the void, wasting time meaninglessly.

After leaving the planet Lagnia, the remaining fire spirits immediately launched their spaceships and sailed towards the holy land of the fire spirits, "Kosig".

After several years of arduous sailing, the fire spirits finally returned to their homeland safely.They fully reported what they encountered on Planet Mine No. [-] to the relevant departments of the superior, and then it was time to wait for the summons.

The administrative response speed of the fire spirits was much faster than expected.

Almost a few days after the report, the fire spirits on the spaceship were summoned by the chief.

The administrative structure of the Huojing tribe is very simple. At the top of the power is the chief, and below the chief are generals of all sizes.Each general has his own armed forces and space battleships that can travel between stars.

General Cyrus, whose head was knocked alive by Kratos, was also one of them.

The general in charge, General Cyrus, ranks at the bottom of all the generals in terms of overall strength, but he is also the top figure in the Huojing administrative system.

The death of such a character on a remote planet is not a small matter for the fire spirit society.Getting the chief's attention was to be expected.

Among the returned fire spirits was the navigator of the warship.

to be frank…

Nope's impression of the navigator is not good, after all, it was the Huojing navigator who first took the initiative to attack the city.

Unfortunately.

Navigator is definitely an indispensable position for driving a warship.

The rest of the fire spirits can be detained by choice, but if there is no navigator, the battleship can only get lost in the boundless deep space of the universe.

And now, the navigator who successfully returned to his home holy land was summoned by the chief.For a low-level person like him, such an opportunity is absolutely unique.

After learning the news, the navigator was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

He spent several days taking care of himself meticulously, and he spared no effort to spend all his wealth to tailor an exquisite dress.

Hundreds of detailed records have also been carefully prepared for the issues that the chief may mention.When he finally got everything ready, the warchief's guard also came to his door.

The navigator held back his excitement and followed the guards to the palace of the great chief.

The huge palace was built on a huge volcano nearly [-] meters high. Black and red lava stone pillars formed the main body of the palace, and thick chains stretched across the dome.

Beams of high-energy lasers spewed out from every corner of the palace, forming layers upon layers of onion-like shields above the palace.

After a rigorous search, the navigator, led by the guards, went to the chamber inside the palace.

In the empty hall.

On the throne at the end sat cross-legged the Fire Chief.

The Great Chief stands more than five meters tall and wears an ornate feathered crown on his head.His size is huge among the fire spirits, but he seems a little uncoordinated.The belly is bloated and fat, but the limbs are a bit slender.

Coupled with the protruding fangs, a ferocious feeling emanated from the great chief.

There are more than a dozen seats arranged beside the chief, and the figures on them also exude a strong sense of oppression. These fire spirits are the chief's staff and direct generals.

He is also a big figure in the Huojing tribe.

"Meet the Great Chief!"

The navigator knelt on the ground, his tone trembling slightly due to excitement.

He had prepared more than a dozen different opening speeches in the past few days, but at this moment his mind was blank, and he could only say some unnutritious words dryly.

Fortunately, although the great chief had a ferocious face, his tone was quite approachable, and he did not blame the navigator for his gaffe.

"I've read the message you sent." The chief said slowly, smiling, "I'm saddened by the death of General Cyrus. Those barbarians will have to pay for their brutality."

After a slight pause, the chief continued: "However, I am also very interested in some of the contents of those news, so I specially summoned you to ask this time."

"It is my pleasure," replied the navigator.

"Those creatures called Dragonborn have a strong affinity for subspace?" The chief asked directly.

"That's right." The navigator said: "We found the city of the dragon descendants in the planet Mine No. Migrated from other planets with life."

"How strong are the dragon descendants?" The chief asked after thinking about it.

"Very strong."

There was a look of fear on the navigator's face.

What he recalled in his mind were two pictures that happened ten years ago.

In the first picture, Nope, the forerunner of the Dragonborn, hit the damage comparable to the battleship's macro gun with his bare hands, almost hitting the battleship's external armor.The second picture is even more terrifying. The ghostly Kratos sneaked into the battleship and tore General Cyrus' head from his neck alive, like a ferocious beast hunting a defenseless prey.

"There seems to be a unique practice system in the dragon-born society, and the strongest among them has the power to threaten battleships."

The navigator added: "However, that kind of existence seems to be extremely rare in Dragonborn society."

"yes…"

The great chief nodded, and the staff and generals beside him whispered.

Although I couldn't hear what those big shots were talking about, the excitement revealed in the words couldn't be hidden.

"Then there is another problem here."

The chief said, with a more serious expression on his face: "In the report you provided, it was mentioned that those dragon descendants seem to believe in some real gods?"

"Is such that."

Belief in and worship of gods has been integrated into all aspects of dragonborn culture.

Even if Nop deliberately wanted to hide some information from the fire spirits, there would inevitably be clues leaked out and detected by the enemy.

Ten years is not a short period of time for either a dragonborn or a fire spirit.If the mind is careful enough, a lot of useful information can be collected in a relatively closed environment in ten years.

"Dragon descendants worship mainly two gods, one is the Feathered Serpent God who brings good harvests, and the other is the goddess who is in charge of wisdom."

The navigator replied: "Above these two gods, there seems to be an older and more powerful primordial god. It is said that this god is the creator god who created the existence of all things from the chaos. The description of this god is too It is too exaggerated, so whether the existence of the third god is real or not is still a question."

"Ah, very good."

The warchief pondered over the information the navigator had provided.

The civilization of the fire spirits has developed to a very tyrannical level. In the past thousands of years, they have conquered and devoured hundreds of different intelligent races.

Among these races, some guys also believed in powerful gods.

Those ancient existences with a huge body like a mountain, enough to tear the earth and stir the sea... indeed have the qualifications to be called gods.

Unfortunately, even gods can get hurt and bleed.Under the saturation bombardment of space battleships with endless fire spirits, the gods believed by those wisdom tribes are not difficult to deal with.

In contrast…

The flesh, bones, and even the extraordinary power contained in each god's body.

For the fire spirits, it is a precious wealth, and it can even directly affect the evolution of the entire tribe.

Low-level civilization, subspace-friendly physique, powerful bloodlines, magical witchcraft, and real gods... No matter from that point of view, the dragon descendants found on the planet Mine Pit [-] are enough to be regarded as the most suitable prey.

A happy smile appeared on the chief's face, and he said to the navigator who was kneeling on the ground: "You are a good boy, and the information you provide is equally valuable."

"However, I still have one last question for you to answer. Come on... Come to me, and I will give you the supreme reward."

"reward!?"

The navigator felt his heart beating suddenly.

He raised his head boldly, and saw the great chief looking at him gently.The staff and generals on both sides of the throne also had warm smiles on their faces, as if they were welcoming the return of heroes.

Everything is like a dream.

"Thank you for your generosity." The navigator did not doubt him, and got up and came to the throne of the great chief.

Click!

However, what happened next was completely beyond the navigator's expectations.

Two tall and burly guards quietly appeared behind the navigator, grabbed his neck, and lifted the navigator into the air.

"What are you doing!?"

The navigator was stunned by the sudden change and kept struggling.

But as a civilian staff member, how could his strength be on par with those of the genetically modified guards of the imperial army.The thick palms pressed against the navigator like iron pliers, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't shake it in the slightest.

"The information you provided is precious, but not comprehensive. In order to ensure the authenticity and effectiveness of the information, I must see it with my own eyes."

With the same smile on his face, the great chief explained softly.

same smile...

What was brought to the navigator before was approachable, but now it looks like an abyssal devil.

"Don't eat me!" The navigator couldn't think of the big chief's plan at this time, his facial features were twisted, and he cried at the top of his voice.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp clicking sound entered the brain.

He felt his brain was knocked open by some kind of hard and sharp tool, and the severe pain was accompanied by a cool feeling... Then, a hard object was forced into the brain, stirring constantly.

The navigator's tongue fell weakly, his eyeballs turned white and twitched with the turning of the spoon, and the muscles all over his body spasmed terribly.

"It's your honor to become one with me as food." The chief said with a smile, "For inferior fire spirits like you, isn't this the supreme reward?"
