Arad's Sword

Chapter 500 On the Rewards for Deeds
Regarding the overture from the Patriarch, Midi accepted it without humility.

He was very clear that this kind of overture at this moment did not mean that the Patriarch really favored him, but that he had shown enough strength to make the Death Scorpion think he was worthy of protection.

If the Death Scorpion is really facing Midi, then from the beginning, it should directly express its attitude, just like Verna did, instead of letting people from the Red Blood Bat Family come forward to question or even launch an attack.

In the final analysis, the "King of Fighting" Thor's influence was too great, so that once Thor expressed his dislike for Midi, the attitude of the entire Death Scorpion was shaken.

In this huge family, if there is anyone who can be regarded as one of their own, I am afraid that there is only Verna.

Unexpectedly, this domineering, willful, unreasonable woman would become her companion.

Midi glanced at Verna who was smiling beside her, and couldn't help feeling emotional in her heart.

"What are you looking at?" Verna gave Midi an angry look.

"It's nothing, but anyway, thank you." Midi said seriously.

"Hmph, don't be complacent here. You have to know that this is just the beginning. The real test will be when you return to the family next time." Verna turned her gaze away, and then there was a trace of her tone in her tone. anxiety.

In the final analysis, no matter what Midi does, he is still a member of the Death Scorpion family. Even if the Red Blood Bat joins forces with the Flame Snake and the Two-headed War Wolf to condemn him, in the end, the Death Scorpion will at least keep it. Midi is dead.

But within the family, apart from Verna, an ally, Midi no longer has anyone to support him. Whether he can get the approval of the high-level is actually the key to whether he can continue to move towards the Black Dragon Conference. .

Now, Thor, the "King of Fighters" who everyone is optimistic about, has obviously had many conflicts with Midi, so Verna is most worried about the next family discussion.

Although she, as the high priest of the black dragon, also has a certain right to speak, but first of all, her influence is not as good as that of Thor. As soon as Thor speaks, Midi immediately becomes alone.

Once law enforcement elders and other xenophobic people who don't like Midi speak up, it is very likely that Midi's work will be in vain.

After all, no matter how powerful force is, it is difficult to take effect within the family. If force is really used within the family, the only result will be to be labeled a traitor.

Even if Midi can kill one elder in one blow, can he kill all the elders in one blow?

Obviously impossible.

Therefore, Verna was a little worried.

However, Midi hinted to her with her eyes that there is no need to panic.

I really don't know where this guy's confidence comes from.

Verna secretly sighed in her heart.

Under the escort of heavy guards, the group quickly returned to the huge cave where the Death Scorpion family was located. There was no unnecessary ceremony. Including Midi and Thor, the group of fighters who entered the Crystal Dragon Castle were all arrested by high-level officials. They were brought directly into the central meeting hall.

The family chose these fighters to enter the Crystal Dragon Castle to experience and seek inheritance. At this moment, it is time to reward meritorious service and arrange seats within the family.

As the number one family in Menzoberranzan, the Death Scorpion already had a huge influence.

During the selection process of this year's fighters, the fighters of the three major families who ranked second, third, and fourth almost all died. Therefore, it can even be said that once the seats in the family are arranged, it is equivalent to deciding on these fighters. Their seats in Menzoberranzan.

As for Midi and Thor, how to arrange it is what everyone is most concerned about.

"This time the Crystal Dragon Castle Trial, our Death Scorpion family can be said to have won a complete victory, but who has contributed the most and who is behind must be clearly explained here, so that we can be accurate Rewards for meritorious deeds." The law enforcement elder spoke first.

Without even looking at Midi, he nodded directly to Thor, and said with a pleasing expression, "Thor, you are the mastermind of this trial. Let you explain the situation first."

Thor took a step forward and said simply: "There is nothing to repeat about the process, just take stock of the spoils."

As he said that, he took off the storage ring in his hand, activated it directly, and then took out all the spoils in it.

These trophies were all obtained by the Death Scorpion's team, starting from the seventh floor of the Underground Dragon Pagoda and searching all the way down.

Of course, those suitable for the fighters themselves have already been taken away by the fighters, and the rest will be handed over by Thor.

Although these trophies are leftovers, they are also trophies from Crystal Dragon Castle, and they are definitely considered high-quality goods in Menzoberranzan City.

Whether it's weapons, equipment, or those rare materials and medicines, every one is taken out, which makes people's eyes shine.

And later, when Thor took out the seventh- and eighth-level potions that were exchanged for black flame coins from the Dragon God Temple, only the sound of breathing was left in the entire meeting hall.

Even the high-level members of the Death Scorpion family, whose eyes are above the top, can't help their eyes glowing when they see those potions that are enough to cause a bloodbath in a single bottle are lined up in front of them like this, as if they were hungry for blood. Like a wolf.

"Okay, well done! As expected of the chief core disciple of our Death Scorpion family, you have made a significant contribution to the family during this trial, and you are fully worthy of rewarding and setting an example!" the law enforcement elders repeatedly said Cheers, as if they completely forgot Midi on the side.

"These are just additions. That kind of thing is the real harvest of this trial." Thor smiled slightly, and took out another ring that was close to him.

This ring was exactly the ring that the Death Scorpion Clan distributed to every family fighter at the beginning to store the Black Dragon Remnant Monument.

The next moment, a gleam of light flashed, and the base of the huge black dragon stele, which was more than one meter long, had appeared in the meeting hall.

At the same time, a vast and ancient dragon's breath diffused in all directions.

This is still under the condition that the Black Dragon Remnant Stele has not been activated. If the Remnant Stele is activated, how strong will the aura be?
The moment he saw the Black Dragon Remnant Stele, even the Patriarch, who had been sitting silently on the main seat, was finally moved, and his eyes shone brightly.

Even the head of the family was moved. Now, the winner is already divided, right?
The high-level people present suddenly had such thoughts in their hearts.

Although Midi may also come up with a lot of good things, but since Thor has already taken the position, then, in order to follow Thor's wishes, it is very likely that Midi will be directly sent to the bottom.

Of course, there is no need to worry about life, but I am afraid that he will not be able to obtain the qualification of a fighter in the Black Dragon Conference.

As for Verna, what she wanted most was the Black Dragon Remnant Stele, but at this moment, seeing that the person who took out the remnant stele turned out to be Thor, a look of disappointment and sadness flashed across Verna's eyes.

How wonderful it would be if the person who got the Black Dragon Remnant Stele was Midi!

The black dragon priestess couldn't help but think this way, not only because she asked Midi to help get some fragments, but also because she also hoped that Midi could win in the family's internal judgment.

but now……

Just as the priestess was secretly saddened, a voice sounded.

"Thor did a good job. With this base, it will be much more convenient to place the stele."

It was Midi who spoke. He seemed to be completely unaffected by the atmosphere in the meeting hall. He said this in a calm and even slightly condescending tone, as if he was evaluating Thor's good or bad.

Others looked at Midi with the eyes of an idiot.

If you lose, you lose, and if you lose, you still want to provoke that "fighting king" Thor with this tone. Is this courting death?

However, Thor himself, who was provoked, didn't say anything, just snorted coldly.

Midi just smiled slightly, and took out the same ring from her bosom.

Another gleam of light flashed, and in the conference hall, a black dragon remnant stele appeared again.

Only this time, it's not the base, but the body with the most inscriptions engraved on it.

The length is not one meter, but a full three meters!
If at that moment just now, the dragon's breath rushing towards the face could be described as vast, then at this moment, the concentration of the dragon's breath is simply suffocating!
In an instant, those elders couldn't care less about face anymore, they sat down on the spot one by one, and began to greedily absorb these auras!

Hearing a bang, the Patriarch stood up excitedly, stepped on the hard ground under his feet, and with a flick of his body, he was already in front of the black dragon stele, and touched the stele with his hands. On her body, it was as if she was stroking a lover!
"Okay, very good, very good! Midi, you have done a very good job! On behalf of the entire Death Scorpion family, I would like to express my gratitude to you!" The Patriarch, who had always been in the city, had an uncontrollable tremor in his voice at this moment.

Then, he laughed wantonly regardless of his manners, and said: "With this dragon tablet and the base, our Death Scorpion family can prosper for another thousand years, and even break away from Menzoberranzan. It is possible to become a temple!"

Temple?

Midi's heart skipped a beat.

This is the first time he has heard of the word "temple". It sounds like it is a higher level existence than a city.

However, now in this conference hall, it is not a good time to ask, so Midi just wrote it down secretly, and didn't say much.

On the other hand, Thor snorted again, and said, "Midi, don't be too complacent! Don't forget, this black dragon monument is guarded by a level 71 corpse horned dragon. If it wasn't for I lured that corpse-horned dragon away, how could you get the body of this stele with your ability alone? How can you be a good boy if you get cheap here!"

Is that so?
Midi sneered inwardly.

This Tolmin knew that Midi was holding the largest part of the dragon tablet, but he still took out his own dragon tablet in this meeting hall. Take away a share, at least to the extent that both parties share equally.

In this way, Midi's greatest advantage was virtually eliminated by him.

Sure enough, just as Midi expected, as soon as Thor's words fell, the voice of the law enforcement elder also rang out: "Since the two sides jointly obtained the two dragon tablets, it is only natural that they are big or small. , the merits of the body of the stele and the base of the stele should be counted together!"
