Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 510 Placement
"This... How is it possible... You! Why do you have such power!?"

The green-footed dragon snake whimpered in Noshil's hands in embarrassment and said that all individuals of this race possessed an indescribable pride, a pride that made this guy still unable to believe what was happening to him until this moment.

But its horns were still tightly clamped by Noshil, almost all the bones in its body were broken, and there was a huge feeling of oppression that suddenly erupted in an instant, everything told it that what was happening now was definitely not a dream.

'I didn't faint.'

Nosher was a little surprised. After suffering such a severe injury, even his mouth had been cut into four pieces, this guy could still continue to speak so energetically with his leaky mouth. Such perseverance was really surprising.

But no matter how strong this guy's perseverance was, in Noshil's eyes, it no longer posed any threat, so he just threw the green-footed dragon snake on the ground beside him, causing the monster to grimace in pain instantly. Then, in the next instant, he quickly swung the giant axe in his right hand, and with a bang, he instantly chopped down the green-footed dragon snake's head!
"He's in good spirits, but his brain seems to be a little damaged."

The vertical pupils of the green-footed dragon snake instantly tightened and became thinner than a needle. Noshil's axe directly scared its soul back and made it instantly realize the current situation. If this axe really hit its neck, its soul would immediately return to the Beast Garden and say goodbye to this beautiful world completely.

"Wait... wait! I surrender! I surrender! As long as you can let me go, I am willing to offer all the wealth I have accumulated over the past 30 years! If you want my soul, I am also willing to sign a contract with you! Please, sir! Let me go, I am willing to swear to the gods of the Zoo! Everything I said is true!"

The green-footed dragon snake endured the severe pain all over its body and tried its best to raise its head slightly, wanting to know whether the price it offered could impress this mysterious devil, but Noshil just raised the giant axe again without saying a word. The green-footed dragon snake closed its eyelids in despair, not daring to face the cruel fate that was about to come.

But what it didn't expect was that Nosir's axe did not actually fall. He first used the back of the battle axe to lift up the head of the green-footed dragon snake, allowing the two to look at each other from a perspective of one looking up and the other looking down. Then he waited until the spirit of the green-footed dragon snake calmed down a little, and only then did Nosir slowly open his mouth and speak to the giant beast in front of him.

"From what I know, your people don't seem to have the habit of collecting gold and silver treasures. So as for the collection you mentioned over the past 30 years, even if I look at it from the most optimistic point of view, I guess the only things you can come up with are some skeletons and armor left behind by other underground explorers, but I don't care about that kind of thing."

"As for your soul, this suggestion is very interesting, but unfortunately, I am not actually a devil, so I currently do not have the ability to cast the Hell Contract on other creatures. Your suggestion is very tempting, but it still does not make sense to me."

The green-footed dragon snake opened its eyes. Noshir's words seemed to reveal a lot of information, which gave it hope of survival again. It seized the opportunity to speak again.

"No matter what it is! No matter what it is! As long as I can do it! As long as you can let me go! I am willing to agree to it! Please tell me your request! I can swear to the gods of the Zoo that I will do my best to realize your request and wish!"

Noshier raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"It's rare to see a green-footed dragon snake with such a strong desire to survive. Doesn't the book say that your clan is extremely proud and would rather die than surrender? But why don't I see this in you?"

The corners of Nosir's mouth unconsciously raised into a somewhat evil smile, but the green-footed dragon snake dared not speak. After all, its name was now in Nosir's hands. No matter how this guy insulted it, it had to endure it. As for why the proud green-footed dragon snake was willing to lower its dignity like this for the sake of its life safety?
Well, there is nothing it can do. After all, it is only 34 years old this year. It has just reached adulthood in the Green-footed Dragon Snake race. It still has a lot of time to enjoy. And most importantly, it has not yet completed the great mission of the Green-footed Dragon Snake race to continue its offspring. Because of this, it cannot end its life so hastily! Even if it becomes a beggar for mercy, it will not hesitate!

Nosil didn't know what this green-footed dragon snake was thinking, but he did have some questions that needed this guy to answer. It was indeed a good thing that this guy was so cooperative now.

"What's your name? Green-footed Dragon Snake."

Noshir put his battle axe on the monster's neck and asked in a friendly manner.

"... Gasper."

"Gasper? Well, in view of your cooperation, I am willing to promise you that as long as you can work hard in the next question-and-answer session and explain all my questions clearly, I am willing to let you go. Among all my enemies, this kind of treatment is unprecedented. I have to say that you are really lucky."

Gaspar's throat moved. Obviously, he didn't really believe what Noshir said, but at this point, he had no choice but to follow this option.

"Hiss~ Please ask, sir, I will tell you everything I know."

Noshir nodded.

"Very good, then tell me now, besides you, are there any other particularly difficult monsters lurking in this mine?"

Gaspar's heart trembled, and he didn't quite understand why Noshir asked this question. But considering that he didn't seem to have any right to ask back, he answered directly and straightforwardly.

"No, sir. This area used to be my territory. I will not allow any other creatures that can threaten me to continue to occupy here. Now, except for many underground giant bats, underground lizards, and underground giant spiders, there are no other medium or large species in this nest. The only reason these small monsters can survive is that they can serve as a high-quality food source to fill my insatiable stomach."

Noshier nodded with some understanding.

'There are no other dangerous species. This is similar to what I guessed. The green-footed dragon snake has a strong sense of territory. It is unlikely that other dangerous creatures will appear in the area where they live. However, the materials left in this cave are really rich, including bats, lizards, and even spiders. ''These monsters are all dangerous, but definitely not deadly. Let's just hand this area over to them. This will not only train their group combat capabilities, but also let them practice independently on how to distribute limited resources relatively evenly in the future. In general, it will kill two birds with one stone. '

Noshier focused his attention on the green-footed dragon snake again. Gaspar's answer was very detailed. This detailed reply made him nod with satisfaction, but then he continued to ask.

"You should know that the cave you are occupying was once a mine dug by underground gnomes. Similar mines are found in almost all surrounding areas. Do you know which areas, especially in the southeast, contain particularly powerful monsters?"

Gasper also answered immediately.

"I do know a little bit about this, but I only know the details of the other two nests that are only about ten kilometers away from here. A watcher beholder lives in one of the mines in the west, and the other place was transformed into a base by a group of minotaurs. There was a period of time when the food in the cave was not abundant. I have been to those two places to find food, but I have no idea what is in the mines and nests in other directions."

Gaspar honestly told Noshier all the information he knew, and Noshier understood that this was all the information Gaspar could provide.

"The information is not particularly detailed, nor is it the intelligence I want to know. But you didn't play any tricks, which is good. You tried to deceive me at first, and this action almost cost you your life, but now your honesty has bought you a chance to survive."

Noshier slammed the battle axe aside, walked over to Gaspar, and violently straightened his bones, allowing some of the limbs that were not seriously damaged to barely restore their original functions.

"Well, now you should have recovered some basic mobility. Since you can walk now—pop!"

Nosir clapped his hands lightly, and the next moment after the applause, Mizora came at the call accompanied by a red teleportation light. Nosir pointed at the Green-footed Dragon Snake Gaspar, and gestured to Gaspar at Mizora beside him.

"This is my attendant. Her true identity is a Canbion from the Nine Hells, and she is also a highly skilled wizard. So listen carefully, Gaspard. If you still want to stay alive, then you must follow her instructions and sign an extremely unequal treaty that everyone loves to see. If you are really willing to exchange everything you have for your life, then show it to me now."

Gaspar stood up trembling. He didn't expect that things would develop to this point in the end. Although he had said before that he was willing to give up everything he had in exchange for his own survival, when he really had to do it, he subconsciously wanted to go back on his word.

However, just as this thought came to his mind, within a second, Gaspar's eyes involuntarily looked at the giant axe standing beside him. After being silent for three seconds, he chose to abide by the oath he had made before. He raised his uppermost right forelimb and resolutely pressed his hand - the claw mark - on the contract.

"Wise choice."

Noshir smiled with relief. In this day and age, it was not easy to find such a villain who cherished his life and kept his promise. However, since the contract had been signed, Gaspar would definitely not be able to make any more waves.

Now, for this green-footed dragon snake, Nosher only needs to consider one last thing, which is how to place him in the future, and he already has two ideas in this regard.

One is to keep the green-footed dragon snake here and let it live with the vampire derivatives that will move here soon. The advantage of this option is that Gaspar can help them gain a foothold here, and it can also act as an alternative eye to help monitor and control these vampire derivatives to prevent them from getting out of control if left unattended.

However, there are disadvantages as well. The most important reason is that Gaspar's injuries are quite serious. Considering the various injuries all over his body, even with the help of healing magic, it is absolutely impossible for this guy to recover his combat effectiveness within a week or two.

Coincidentally, this period of time happened to be the most difficult time for the derivatives to adapt to the Underdark and struggle to survive in this unfamiliar environment. Leaving Gaspar here would not bring any help to the derivatives. On the contrary, at least in the initial period of time, it would become a burden to them. For this reason, Noshil was not inclined to this option.

As for the other option, that is to give it to King Snitker. The Green-footed Dragon Snake is an ancient weapon designed by the Storm Giants in ancient times to deal with dragons. The actual combat power of an adult Green-footed Dragon Snake is actually comparable to that of a white dragon of the same age, and it is even far superior in terms of IQ.

If such a powerful green-footed dragon snake was given to King Snitker, such a generous gift would definitely bring the deep dwarves and their side closer together to the greatest extent. At the same time, this generous act would also demonstrate Noshir's strength and magnanimity. People would know what the name Noshir meant, and this generous gift would surely receive rich rewards and make this alliance more stable.

Considering this aspect, Nohill feels that the second approach is undoubtedly better.

Although the Green-footed Dragon Snake is precious and can be considered powerful among ordinary monsters, if Noshir really wants to find a qualified security guard for these derivatives, then there is no need for him to stick to such a monster. After all, this is the Underdark, and all kinds of monsters are flying all over the sky. As long as Noshir is given some time, he will definitely be able to find a guardian who is far more suitable than the Green-footed Dragon Snake.

"…Forget it, let's just leave it here for now. I'll consider the specific implementation process after I finish those chores. As for the period of time when I'm busy, I'll leave Gasper to Mizora to guard and take care of him."

Noshir shook his head and temporarily decided the direction of Gaspar's future destiny, but in addition to these things, he had more things waiting to be solved and dealt with.

Nosher, who came out of the mine, announced directly to Asdeln and the others that he had conquered the most powerful monster in the nest, and asked them to select a large number of people to settle here as soon as possible. He naturally flew quickly towards another mine.

It took less than five minutes for Noshir to successfully reach another abandoned mine nest, and in this abandoned mine, he also successfully saw what kind of monster occupied this cave.
