Shut up, I don't want to have children with you anymore.

Nacho stood at the entrance, and he couldn't take a step inside without Ellandi's next order.

After a short silence, Alandi slowly spoke.

"Bray, Jaggers, Hami, Felix, Walton, Kayla, and including Ravi and Star, eight dragon kings have died since I gave you this task. I want to know, is it really that difficult to kill Leon Cosmode, Nacho?"

Nacho at the door was tense all over and even swallowed his saliva very carefully.

He stared with cold sweat dripping down his forehead. After a long while, Nacho replied,

"This is an accident, sir. I saw him disappear into the space crack with my own eyes. Who knew he would come back..."

"I never believe in accidents, Nacho."

What I mean is, stop talking nonsense here.

Nacho pursed his dry lower lip and bowed, "I'm sorry, sir, it was my carelessness that caused these losses."

Alandi snorted coldly, then changed the subject, "Come and sit down, I made some tea."

"Yes, my lord."

With Elandi's permission, Nacho dared to step into the house and go to the balcony.

He sat down on the other side of the tea table, but still looked very nervous.

"You've been tired from traveling all the way. Have some tea to moisten your throat." Alandi didn't look directly at Nacho, but still looked at the darkness outside.

"Yes, my lord."

Nacho picked up the teacup with both hands and took a sip.

The tea has started to get cold and is not as tasty anymore.

But Nacho knew that Alandi would not ask him to have tea for no reason.

But he didn't dare to ask.

When following a leader, the most important thing is to ask less and do more.

"How's the tea?" asked Alandi.

"It's delicious, my Lord."

"Really? This tea is called 'Red Robe' and is produced in the Eastern Continent."

After a pause, Alandi slowly turned his head and looked Nacho in the eye. "At the same time, it was also your father's favorite tea."

When Nacho heard the word "father" from Alandi's mouth, he was obviously stunned.

He subconsciously clenched his teacup and didn't dare to answer.

Seeing Nacho's serious expression, Alandi continued,

"After Victor was executed by Leon, you took over the task of killing Leon from me. I trusted you, so I asked you to supervise and dispatch Ravi and the others. But the results you gave me are really unsatisfactory, Nacho."

Gumbling—

The bitter taste of tea filled Nacho's mouth. He swallowed stiffly, his heart beating wildly.

Nacho understood what Ellandi meant:

Don't do this job anymore.

"Although the specific actions of the Dragon Kings are decided by themselves, you are still involved in the overall plan, right?" Alandi asked slowly.

"...Yes, my Lord."

"Well, this is what we discussed when we first reached cooperation with the Dragon Clan."

Alandi sighed, "But the loss of eight dragon kings at once, plus what happened to Constantine a long time ago, Leon Casmode really taught us and the dragon race a hard lesson."

"grown ups......"

"The Dragon Clan has recalled Adam in order to kill Leon. So we in the Empire should also make some changes. What do you think, Nacho?"

This has been made very clear.

Nacho was no fool, he stood up immediately and spoke very quickly,

"Please give me another chance! I will definitely lead the Dragon King to kill Leon Casmode!"

"I've given you plenty of chances, Nacho."

Facing Nacho's plea, Alandi remained indifferent, "But it turns out that the difficulty of this task is far beyond your ability. Perhaps..."

Alandi lowered his eyes to look at the red tea in the cup and smiled faintly, "You have to find another way to rescue your father from prison."

"grown ups!"

puff-

This time, Nacho knelt directly in front of Ellandi, clutching his trouser legs, and begged in panic.

"Please, sir, give me one more chance, one last chance, I will -"

"Okay Nacho, it's actually stupid to take on an impossible task just to clear your father's name."

"My Lord! I, I——"

"The tea's getting cold, Nacho."

"..."

Alandi sneered, then shook off Nacho's hand, stood up, and walked towards the exit of the room.

He didn't stop at all, nor did he give Nacho any chance to pledge his loyalty.

loyalty?

Oh, what the empire lacks the least is loyalty.

Countless people are firmly controlled by Alandi, including Nacho Salaman.

pat-

The door lock jounced, the door opened and closed, and the sound of leather shoes tapping on the wooden floor gradually faded away.

Nacho knelt there, the cold midnight wind rushed in from the balcony, penetrated through his collar, and the chill instantly swept through his whole body.

He turned his head woodenly and looked at the tea on the table.

"The tea's cold, Nacho."

Ellandi's last words echoed in Nacho's ears.

Weakness and depression invaded his body and mind.

At that moment, he seemed to understand that in the face of absolute power, black and white can be reversed and right and wrong are no longer clear.

Such power was once placed in front of Nacho, but in the end it slipped through his fingers like sand.

He didn't hate the guy who couldn't be killed no matter what. He just hated himself for not recognizing this absurd world earlier.

Nacho reached out his trembling hand, picked up the teacup, and drank the cold tea in one gulp.

Then he stood up, left the inn, and walked alone in the midnight empire, dragging the moonlight.

His back looked decadent and thin, like an abandoned, tattered puppet.

......

After leaving the inn, Alandi took a carriage back to the imperial city.

Squire Scott came forward to report,

"Sir, the heart-protecting dragon scales of Bray and other dragon kings have been recovered."

"Ah."

"Also, sir, there has been new progress in the 'project' in the Far North. Would you like to take a look?"

Hearing this, Alandi raised his eyebrows.

Looks like it's not all bad news tonight.

"Lead the way." said Alandi.

"Please follow me, my Lord."

The two of them finally came to an underground secret room in the imperial city.

There are many demon-suppressing stones placed inside the secret room.

And in the center of the Demon-Suppressing Stone is a white glowing object.

It was suspended quietly, its light was crystal clear and milky white.

Alandi's eyes lit up. "Is this the 'Original Power' dug out from the Far North?"

"Yes, my lord."

Scott said, "After Ravi died in the battle, without the assistance of space magic, the dragons stopped their activities in the Far North, but we still achieved some results. That's what you see now."

Alandi stared at the white glowing energy body. Even though he had never practiced magic, he could feel the power in it.

It is restless, longing for a container that can perfectly accept it.

No wonder it takes so many Demon-Suppressing Stones to suppress it.

"Well done, Scott," Alandi praised.

Scott bowed, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."

"Don't be too happy yet. Now that the original force has been found, have you found its container?"

"There are already several candidates. But the ones I am optimistic about are these three brothers."

As he spoke, Scott handed over a list.

However, Alandi just glanced at it casually without looking closely. "This is the task I gave you. You just need to show me the result."

"Yes, my lord."

"With these, the 'Sharp Knife' plan can be completed soon." Alandi said softly.

Scott rolled his eyes and agreed, "That's right, sir. By then, our cooperation with the dragon tribe will be able to go a step further."

Alandi glanced at Scott calmly and said, "Operation Knife was indeed initially launched to achieve a deeper cooperation with the Dragon Clan, but that idiot Nacho has not yet dealt with Leon Cosmode. So... we have to change the original intention of formulating Operation Knife."

"Does your Excellency mean... to use the sharp knife plan against Leon?"

"That's right. No matter how strong Leon Cosmode is, he can't defeat the primordial power of the dragon race."

Alandi stared at the white energy in front of him and said confidently.

"Your Excellency is wise." Scott flattered at the right time.

"Then, does this primordial power come from the Dragon God Tiamat?" asked Alandi.

"That is not the case, my lord. Even the dragons have not yet found the place where Tiamat fell."

Scott explained,

"But the original power we have shared comes from the first generation of the Dragon King who inherited Tiamat. This Dragon King is even known as the 'First King' in the myths and legends of the dragon clan."

Alandi was slightly surprised, "Oh? He's from a prominent family."

"Yes, my lord. Although this primordial force is only a small part of his power, it is still immeasurably powerful."

"The first king also figures in various legends of the dragon clan. He runs through the history of the dragon clan and has made outstanding contributions to the development of the dragon clan. He is known as the hero of the dragon clan. Even today, people are still singing his name."

Scott also looked at the restless primordial force.

"His name is... the original dragon king Noah."

Noa leaned against the door of the temple as a huge silver figure slowly landed in the courtyard.

The Little King crossed his arms and turned around to shout, "They are back."

The next second, a small figure rushed out.

"Mom and Dad, you're back!"

Moon trotted over to meet him.

Rossweisse was about to squat down to greet her baby daughter, but the dog man next to her got there first.
