Alien world

Chapter 1350 272. Alliance Intention
Grasti almost convinced the Dragon Mother, but the Dragon Father was still a little unwilling. Grasti continued, "There is a proverb in Liberty City: It is better to have a bird in your hand than a thousand birds in the forest."

"Ilimoas, Grasti, come with me to see the chief."

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

Grasti jumped onto Elimoas's back and followed her to catch up with her mother.

"What method did Annan use to get you back?" Grasti had a strong desire for knowledge.

"Children should not know."

Grasti pondered, "So you've already done it? Can a dragon bear a human child? Will you give birth in dragon form or in human form?"

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

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

Elimoas thought that Grasti might be a better dragon for Liberty City than herself.

On the ground, groups of blue dragons gathered in families on hills, surrounded by their families making fires and cooking.

In just a few days, the blue dragon tribe only migrated less than five hundred miles.

Their progress was slowed down by a host of gnolls, kobolds, and a few beastmen.

Arriving at the center of the hills, Ilimayas followed her mother to the largest hill, where there lived an ancient dragon as huge as a hill.

Its scales are a deep blue, reflecting no light, and are as rugged as rocks. Its old head is covered with traces of time, but it does not remind people of aging, but adds majesty and immortality.

Elimoas stood before it, as small and insignificant as a human being standing before herself.

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

When the Ancient Dragon spoke, its voice echoed like ancient thunder across the empty hills: "The Broken Mountains... at the Lake of Ten Thousand Lakes?"

"Chief, I don't know either..."

Its vertical pupils, which seemed to contain stars, fell on Ilimayas: "What do you think?"

"You ask me?"

The chief said: "Ilimoas, you are the only blue dragon who has been to the Broken Mountains. You know better whether it is suitable for the tribe to survive there."

Ilimoyas lowered her head and thought for a moment: "The Broken Mountains are vast, not too noisy, and not too remote, which makes them suitable for our habitat. There are some human forces there, but Annan will help us deal with them."

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

The ancient dragon's inquiries went beyond the responsibilities of a young blue dragon, and Ilimoras felt a tangible 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 dragon eyes, which were larger than Grasti's body, fell on it: "Why?"

Grasti was not intimidated: "Have you heard of Emperor Fesman?"

Emperor Fesman was also a legendary figure during the expedition period when humans left Wilheim. He also established Feo Sky Island, one of the Thirteen Supreme Kings today - the Rainbow City.

Some memories flashed through the old patriarch's dragon eyes: "Are you talking about the short guy who stutters when he speaks?"

Grasti continued, "Feosky Island is still the paradise of the griffins. This is only because the griffins chose Emperor Fesman in the first place."

“You have spoken highly of Annan,” said the old patriarch.

"Because I live in Liberty City, I know what those people think, what they do, and the future they imagine."

Grasti told the "horrible" truth it saw in Liberty City: the academy that imparts knowledge has no threshold and welcomes all races to study, even goblins and civilians. "Like 'pie'?"

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

"More stable than 'Pie' because they learned everything from Liberty City?"

Therefore, it is almost impossible for the pie to fall apart due to some external force.

The old patriarch said slowly: "But child, you are still young and don't understand how fickle the short-lived people are. They change their orders every day, and any decree and oath will only last for a few short decades."

"So how do you trust that your future successor won't change his mind?"

Grasti answered the old patriarch's question from another perspective: "Annan is a warlock, half immortal."

"Hmm...interesting answer."

The old patriarch raised his head slightly:
"I can accept Annan's invitation, but he has to accept a test."

……

"What test?"

Ilimoas relayed, "You must ensure that the blue dragons can live in this land stably and permanently, and will not be disturbed by people with malicious intent."

It may sound confusing at first - why would a species at the top of the food chain worry about such a problem?
But we are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Dragons are full of treasures, and there is no guarantee that there will not be greedy dragon-slaying teams eyeing them.

Compared to other blue dragons who are obsessed with treasure, the chief is more concerned about the continuation of the entire clan, or in other words - this clan is its "treasure".

Annan quickly responded: "That's easy. We can form an alliance."

"alliance?"

The Mother of Dragons on the other side of the portal repeated.

"Yes, allies. Whoever is your enemy then will be the enemy of Liberty City!"

For a human to say 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 full of unquestionable firmness.

"Humans listen to you?"

"They may not listen to it for now...but I think it won't be long before Liberty City will be no less powerful than any other force."

This is something that both the Dragon Mother and the old patriarch agree on.

The Mother of Dragons, representing the old patriarch, did not express any aversion to the alliance - this was good news for Annan.

The blue dragon tribe coveted the Broken Mountains, while Annan coveted the blue dragons themselves. If they could form an alliance with them, the shortcoming of Liberty City: the lack of high-end combat power would be completely solved.

If Annan wanted to do something, the blue dragons might not take action, but if Liberty City was in danger, they would never sit idly by - and given the dragons' greedy nature, Annan could easily spend money to hire them.

The Dragon Mother neither agreed nor rejected it immediately. 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 come over?"

"tomorrow."

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

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