Chapter 675 Symptoms of Sain's Addiction
"On behalf of my entire nation, I would like to express my deepest apologies for the damage to your city and the various losses caused."

Inside the royal palace, the two clan leaders, Bontou and Eroshidor, sat together, watching as Nadi, representing all the dragons of the floating islands, bowed her head in apology.

"Furthermore, we thank your country for repaying evil with kindness and for saving our people over the past two months. Our people will do everything in our power to repay this kindness."

The once raging dragon, now Nadi, spoke with a solemn expression and in a very formal tone.

Based on the total timeline, it has been seven weeks since the floating island dragons were driven out of the Sien dungeon and treated. Nearly two months have passed, and they have finally recovered enough to communicate like a normal intelligent race.

Congratulations, congratulations.

This is the first time that Bantoo and his group have officially met with representatives of the floating island dragon race.

In response to Nadi's humble statement, Bontoo gave a kind yet dignified smile and said:

"There's no need for such formalities. I already know that the real culprit is the First Demon Dragon, and you are also victims."

He launched into a long, drowsy, and respectable speech that could make anyone sleepy. Do all those in power enjoy giving speeches like this?

It's hard to imagine, but Nadi is now the highest-ranking dragon in the floating island dragon race. She is an elder in the race and has a higher prestige than the other elders.

Why? Because she's very good at fighting, it's that simple.

As for the clan chief, unfortunately, he died in the plague, and a number of elites in the clan were also lost for various reasons, and many died in the battle with Ero and his men.

For the floating island dragon race, whose entire clan numbers only a few hundred, the deaths of those killed by Ero were a significant loss, leaving them with only two or three hundred members.

It has undoubtedly suffered a severe blow.

As a result, Nadi has become the person in charge, temporarily considering herself an elder, but she may become the clan leader in a while.

Seeing that Natti and Bontou were conversing in rather proper and formal official language, and that the atmosphere was even somewhat pleasant, Hidal couldn't help but whisper to Erro.

“I never expected this,” Hiddleston exclaimed, looking at Nadia. “They looked like they had no mental disabilities back then, but after resting for so long, they actually recovered.”

"Ahem, watch your words." Ero coughed slightly, but to be honest, he also thought the floating island dragons who had just come out of the Sien dungeon were idiots.

“I know, I’m keeping my voice down, no one will hear me.” Hidal lowered his voice again, the dignified four-legged dragon chieftain sounding incredibly sneaky.

"." Ero didn't even bother to talk to him.

Perhaps because they had gone through a tough time together, being badly beaten by the Mad Dragon Prince, their relationship had actually improved compared to before.

Mad Dragon Prince did do a good deed.

Erro ignored Hidal and looked at Nadi, who had come alone, thinking about the things they had discussed with Bantou.

We absolutely must win over this group of floating island dragons and establish cooperation.

Ideally, they should be able to reside permanently in the Warrior Kingdom.

There's no need to worry too much about the public's voice. As long as a reasonable explanation is given, the people of the Warrior Kingdom are understanding, which is perhaps due to the nature of warriors.

Ero personally inspected the floating islands, and the situation there was simply appalling. They had been completely devoured by the hungry dragons infected with the plague, and even the ground had become thin.

Ero had hoped to learn about the history of the floating island dragons, but all he found was a deserted island, completely worthless.

However, this could also be one of the reasons they persuaded Natie to stay.

And the other most important and crucial reason is—

"How is your recovery from the injuries you sustained in the dungeon?" Banto asked with concern.

“Thank you for your concern,” Natie frowned and gave a wry smile. “As long as you don’t think about it intentionally, it won’t be a burden on your mind.”

All the dragons on the floating islands felt as if they had spent a hellish period of time repeatedly in the Sien Dungeon.

However, when they tried to recall it, their memories were quite vague. They only remembered being brutally beaten by a giant dragon that resembled a world-destroying demon, but they couldn't remember exactly how many times they were beaten or how long the beating lasted.

Intelligent beings may deliberately forget bad memories to protect themselves, and that's probably why they forget them.

“That underground city is indeed amazing, and it is indeed annoying,” Bontoo managed to come up with a compromise, “but it also leaves people with good memories.”

"What wonderful memories."

Upon hearing this word, Natie's lips unconsciously curled into a grin, and she was practically drooling. Fortunately, she immediately realized her lapse in composure and composed herself.

However, her whole body already exuded a sweet aroma like dessert.

Seeing her like this, Erro and Hidal exchanged a glance, feeling that it was safe to keep each other.

The second key reason is the Sien Dungeon, or more precisely, the food in the Sien Dungeon.

The dragons from the floating islands were driven mad by a sugar-oil mixture during their week in the Cyn dungeon, all of them becoming significantly overweight. Only Nadi, in her human form, didn't show any signs of this; even in her mad dragon form, she would have been heavily pregnant. It's not incomprehensible that such delicious food could induce such an exaggeratedly mentally challenged state, partly due to the astonishing effects of delicacies like the "Century Soup," but also because the shadow cast by Baylor was simply too profound.

So, in order to escape the shadow of Beller, the dragons of the floating islands chose to indulge in the pleasure of food, and once they became addicted, they could not extricate themselves.

It's probably Beller's fault.

At this moment, Nadi suddenly spoke up:
“If your country does not mind, our people are willing to stay here temporarily to compensate for the losses we have caused.”

Hmm, as long as I offer compensation, these humans won't refuse, right? I don't want to go back to that barren floating island!

Nadi appeared polite on the surface, but inwardly she was already showing signs of having a well-thought-out plan.

That way we can live here legitimately, eat in the Sien Dungeon every day, and a bright future awaits us!

Yes, although their mental state has returned to normal, Nadi and the others have inevitably developed symptoms of addiction to food.

They get really excited if they can't have delicious food, especially sweets.

"It is kind of you to show your appreciation. If you really wish, our country will not refuse."

Excellent, excellent! We didn't even have to say anything; these dragons asked to stay on their own. Very good!
As Bantou thought to himself, the curve of his smile widened.

At this moment, both sides present felt that they had benefited.

It's a win-win!
Natti and Bontou exchanged glances, both seeing satisfaction in each other's eyes.

The cooperation was thus established.

Although there are still many details to be discussed and many conditions to be negotiated, that's a matter for the future, and can be left to the responsible ministers.

What's filling this place now is the joy of the initial agreement on cooperation.

“In that case, I should dedicate a territory to you,” Bantou said, waving his hand and summoning a map of the Warrior Kingdom in the air.

Then, he pretended to look at it carefully for a while, then, with an apologetic expression, he said:
"I'm sorry, there is no vacant land near the capital. If you don't mind, there is a nice piece of land near Blackrock City, or you can live in the Dragon's Nest."

Blackrock City!
As soon as Natie heard the word, her heart started pounding with excitement, and she mentally screamed for this option to be chosen.

Because Blackrock City is right next to the Sien Dungeon, how could they possibly pass up such a uniquely advantageous condition!

“Blackrock City is fine; we don’t dare to dream of land in the capital,” Nadi said immediately.

"Hehehe, they've taken the bait!" Banto was inwardly laughing. "So I can even talk like an artist!"

The pleasant atmosphere of the meeting continued, and both sides got what they wanted and felt they had made a great deal.

Outside the royal palace, the capital city, which had been almost reduced to ruins in the battle, has been largely rebuilt. Residents who were relocated to other cities are returning one after another, and the city will soon be able to return to its former daily rhythm, as if the dragon and Yunka had never existed.

In a world where civil engineering magic exists, infrastructure construction can be done at an unbelievable speed.

The magical fog of Yunka not only harmed humans but also all living things. As a result, it dealt a heavy blow to the ecosystem around the capital. Although the fog disappeared, the concentration of magic was still higher than in other areas.

As a result, monsters from other places were attracted here, including many powerful monsters that wreaked havoc everywhere.

Adventurers from the capital and nearby cities have received quests to hunt monsters and are currently engaged in fierce battles in the outskirts of the city, where there are a large number of adventurers.

Another place that attracts adventurers is the Sien Dungeon.

An organization of scholars specializing in the study of various written materials in the Sien Dungeon has issued an exorbitant reward, demanding all information about the "red-haired man" who killed Yunka that day. The high reward has motivated all adventurers, and everyone is now scrambling to find out what's inside Sien.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the people for Thane, Bontou was finally able to make up his mind to get closer to Thane. Not long ago, he even discussed erecting a monument for Thane's underground city to show his honor.

Although for Gong Qiying, a monument is probably less valuable than spiritual support, the feeling of being appreciated is quite nice.

In addition to the monument, Bontou has prepared a second item related to the Cinn Dungeon.

This idea came about inspired by our ancestors, and it just so happens that Lanler has been promoting it.

“There just happens to be a major matter concerning the Sien Dungeon that requires your help,” Bontoo said to Nadi.

"What is it?"

In response to her question, Bontoo said:

Have you ever heard of a battle festival?

"We are prepared to use the full strength of the nation to bring this to a close."
