It doesn't matter what the lord is.

In addition, Zang Zheng of the Abyss Church would rather freeze himself to death than not ensure that Lid survives, which makes Lid realize that perhaps the Abyss Church and the Dragon Clan did not call him here simply to kill him, but these people also wanted to get something from him.

That thing is the key to his life.

Because of this thing, Reed was not killed immediately.

But the problem is that just knowing this is useless. Lid recalled the various items he carried with him, and each one was far from a key. If he had to say anything, it was only the origin of the Black Flame Armor that was a bit unusual. When he was heading north, the Lingwu Lord also expressed a feeling like "It's a waste to use this thing as you are now."

But the Black Flame Armor doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the key...I won’t think about it for now.

Secondly, the identity of the woman behind the screen.

The moment she asked that question, Lid made a judgment in his heart that the person hiding behind the screen must not be the eldest princess of the dragon clan, Dong Li. Not for any other reason, but mainly because the question was too unprofessional.

The Abyss Church cooperates with the Dragon Clan, and the Dragon King and the Princess must be the core members. If the Dragon Clan does not know some specific information about the [Key], it is impossible for the Abyss Church to be acquainted with them.

But the question from the woman just now was like a passerby who heard some information and then hurried over to ask him. There was no core information, and Lid had to figure out what he brought. The threat behind it was also a bit naive. If this was the Dragon Princess, Lid felt that the Dragon Clan would have been beaten to the ground by the Giants and Elves long ago.

After making this guess, Lid gradually began to understand the situation.

It was obvious that Long Wang and Dong Li knew some secrets about Lid, and they originally planned to take Lid to another location for interrogation.

That place is probably the one mentioned by Zang Zheng.

However, someone on Chaoyao Mountain who was of high status in the dragon clan had intercepted Lid in advance.

Who could that person be?

Reed closed his eyes, and Merlin's words came to his mind.

--"Secondly, there are some hidden dangers within the dragon clan. The Dragon King's second son, Nopres, and third daughter, Frey, are not on Dongli's side..."

Lid opened his eyes, sighed deliberately, and said:

"I have decided not to tell you this. Because you don't deserve to know." A female voice with some anger came from behind the screen:

"Why, do you think I don't dare to kill you? I am the eldest princess of the dragon clan, Dong Li. Who else but me is qualified to know about this?" Lid dusted off his body and said righteously:

"I am about to die, so I am not afraid of offending you. So what if I am Dong Li? The dragon tribe is so powerful, but you can't even defeat the elves who have been suffering for a long time. You just lost the battle, but you still want to pretend that you have returned victoriously. It's scary and disgusting! Now you are planning to mobilize troops against humans, isn't it just to cover up your weakness and use force to force the dragon tribe to do what you want? Let me tell you, all your brothers and sisters are ten times stronger than you."

The person behind the screen coughed twice, then said in a hoarse and fierce voice:

...You, you continue. "

There was an unconcealable joy in her voice.

It’s like a child who has been isolated for a long time and finally finds a friend to talk to.

29. You are the first

After finding out the other party's preferences, Reid's next words came naturally.

"It's a pity that you took advantage of the Dragon King's favor to occupy the army, leaving your brothers and sisters with talents but unable to display them." "You can't defeat the elves in the east, and you don't dare to go to war with the giants in the west. You are hesitant to fight humans and can only make some boring threats."

"The dragon tribe has lost its sharp claws on your hands and is getting weaker and weaker, but you have not reflected on your thoughts at all. Dong Li, you will regret it sooner or later!" Lid said everything he wanted to say in one breath, and the woman on the other side of the screen kept shaking her shoulders.

When Lid really didn't know what else to say, a voice came from the other side:

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you when you say this?"

Lid replied calmly:

"Since I dared to come to the Dragon Clan, I have already put life and death aside. Living in disgrace means death, and resisting also means death. Why should I fear death? But justice cannot be buried. You are not worthy of being in charge of the affairs of the Dragon Clan. This is the conclusion I came to a long time ago."

As Reed finished speaking, a cheer suddenly rang out from the other side of the screen: "Good!"

Then the wooden screen exploded and shattered into countless pieces, like brilliant fireworks. At the center of the explosion, a pink-haired girl stood sideways. She was wearing a tight-fitting long dress and armor on her shoulders and waist. She had an extraordinary appearance, with an innate nobleness between her eyebrows, but her smile was as lively as a girl next door.

After looking at Lid, the woman said:

"I have also met many humans, and you are the most pleasing one among them. I will give you the qualification to communicate with me face to face... My name is Fulei, the third daughter of the Dragon King and the third princess of the dragon clan. What just happened was actually a small test. Yes, I actually wanted to test your attitude towards Dong Li."

It was obvious that there was no test. Frey just wanted to impersonate Dongli's identity to extort information from Lid.

However, since she found such an excuse, Reed naturally saw through it but did not say anything, and cooperated with her performance.

Frey was very satisfied with Lid's reaction, nodded, and continued:

"I didn't expect you to have such good taste. The entire dragon clan is praising Dong Li, especially that old witch named Ming Fei, who even said something like, 'I suspect that the Dragon King passed on all his good qualities to Dong Li, and the remaining eight are all more ugly than the other.' It's really a joke. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that I'm actually much better than her, right? I'm prettier than her, more hurried than her, more polite than her... It's just that my realm of cultivation is a little bit lower than hers, but that's because my stinky dad has always been partial to me and refused to teach me the real skills."

Lid knew that he couldn't just obey Fulei at this time, so he pretended to be cheated and a little angry. Fulei also hurried to comfort him, and Lid finally "calmed down", which made Fulei feel that humans were easy to deal with, and not as cunning as Princess Dongli said.

The person who killed Ofland was being played around with by her, and that felt pretty good.

When Reed had caught his breath, Fleur walked up to him quickly, impatiently reaching out her hands to touch Reed all over, saying:

"I tell you, if I can find the key before Dong Li, I can definitely get some face back from my dad. Maybe I'll be the one leading the team to fight next time, how impressive that would be. Then I'll let Dong Li be my deputy general, and he'll work like a slave by my side every day."

Reed felt as if he was going through a security check before boarding a plane. He quickly stopped Fulei and asked, "Tell me first, how did you hear that I had the [key]?"

Fulei puffed out her chest proudly and said happily:

"When my father and Dong Li were plotting, I happened to pass by and heard them talking about this. I didn't hear the details, but I knew they wanted a key from you to help the Abyss Church open a door. The Abyss Church came all the way here for this. That woman named Shi Yuan

He is still living in the side hall now."

After Fulei finished speaking, she blinked slightly and continued:

"So, where's the key?"

Lid stared into her eyes for a long time, exhaled, and said, "What's the benefit of giving you the key?"

This obviously went beyond Frey's logical thinking. She tilted her head, and the gold ring on her hairpin made a tinkling sound. Frey asked in confusion:

"benefit?"

Lid patiently explained to her:

"Look, the key is in my hand now. I can give it to you or Dong Li. It's the same to me. Your Highness can certainly use force to force me to hand over the key, but wouldn't that be the same as Dong Li? As the saying goes, attacking the heart is better than attacking the body. Your Highness should promise me some benefits at this time.

In this way, I can sincerely help the temple

"

Fulei showed a look of realization, nodded, and said with her hands on her hips:

"Of course, I'm not like Dong Li, who only knows how to solve problems with violence. But let me think about it, what can I give you? You're a dying man, you don't need anything."

Well, this has already sentenced Reed to death.

Reed had wanted to try to see if he could use Frey's identity to do something. But now it seems that Frey's basic IQ is still online. She knows very well that Reed killed Ofland, which is a capital crime anyway, so she didn't say anything carelessly like "save your life", which is meaningless.

Lid thought for a moment, sighed deliberately, and replied:

"I know this, too. The [benefits] I mentioned are actually just hoping that Her Highness Frey will tell me more about Dong Li. In this way, before I die, I might be able to analyze more of Dong Li's weaknesses and tell them all to Her Highness. After all, in the short time we just spent together, I have determined that Her Highness's talent is ten times better than Dong Li's, and I died because of Dong Li... I can't avenge this vengeance myself, but I believe that Her Highness will one day soar to the sky and sweep out the villain who stole the high position.

Fulei was stunned for a moment, and her voice became a little sad and low unconsciously:

“I didn’t expect you to have this intention… Well, to be honest with you, you are actually the first person I have ever met who said that I am better than Dong Li.

Even my subordinates are just

They just obey my orders. But if they are given a chance to choose between me and Dong Li, they will definitely choose Dong Li.

Because Dong Li's realm of cultivation is higher than mine, and he can lead troops to fight, he is unattainable in the eyes of all dragons."

Frey pounded her slightly below-average chest with her fist, then pulled herself together and said:

"But I just won't admit defeat. Your name is Lid, right? You are my number one supporter, and I will have more supporters in the future until I can compete with Dong Li. I will tell you all of Dong Li's secrets. You help me, I help you, and we can definitely bring that vicious woman down from the altar."

Reed nodded solemnly, looking at the high-spirited Frey, but his heart was calm.

He just wanted information. In this race where even the naive Princess Frey was at a higher level than him, he had to get as much information as possible to have a chance of survival. This was a countdown game. If he couldn't find a breakthrough before the time ran out, he would die as Frey said.

The pressure is always on him.

30. Create chess pieces

"Although I don't want to admit it, I really can't think of any shortcomings in Dong Li. She is strong, cold-blooded, and strong-armed, and her subordinates dare not speak out. No one will criticize her behind her back, and no one dares to criticize her behind her back."

Fulei did have a lot of resentment towards Dongli.

In fact, this dissatisfaction is very simple. Dong Li is her biological sister, and it is not easy for her to say bad things about Dong Li in public. Privately, her subordinates are full of admiration for Dong Li, and Fulei really can't find anyone to complain to.

Now there was finally someone who could complain about Dong Li with her. Although this guy was a human and was about to be executed, Fulei still felt much more comfortable. It was precisely because Lid was going to be executed that she could talk to Lid about her sister without any burden - the perfect superwoman in the eyes of all dragons.

However, when Fulei finally had the chance to say a few words, she found that after thinking it over, she had no idea what to say.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Frey was afraid that Lid would notice that she was feeling guilty, so she quickly crossed her arms and said:

"But she must still have a lot of problems. It's just that she has hidden all these problems. Yes, this is also where Dong Li is despicable. She only spreads her achievements among the dragon clan, but keeps silent about her various problems! This is definitely wrong."

Lid nodded and said:

"Yes, in this respect, Dongli is far behind Her Highness Fulei." "Of course."

Fulei smiled, revealing her small canine tooth on the left side, and said happily:

"However, I have been with Dong Li for such a long time that I know some of her little secrets. For example, I can tell you that Dong Li is not as magical as the outside world says. She often cried when she was a child. She would cry when her father scolded her, when she was teased by the Flying Dragon Army, and when she lost a competition. But she would not cry out loud. Every time she cried, she would rub her eyes with her sleeves. When I saw it, she would say it was the wind."

Fulei seemed to be recalling the past, and said while thinking:

"She also liked reading books. Many of the books came from you humans, but she would read them. She said that you were able to develop the national defense formation, which showed that you were smart and worth learning from. She also seemed to have a secret base that she would go to every week, but she didn't allow her subordinates to follow her.

Before Fulei could finish her words, a noisy voice rang out from outside:

"Tell me! Who allowed you to bring the criminal here? Let me tell you, the cooperation between the Dragon Clan and your Abyss Church does not mean that you can act beyond our control! Get out of the way!" The guy who spoke had a rough and somewhat violent voice, and it was obvious that he was not human.

Then Zang Zheng's voice sounded:

"Obey orders, isn't that what you dragons say? Since our church has seen the princess's order, we will naturally follow your princess's orders." The grumpy old man who had just spoken sneered and said coldly:

"She is worthy of being called a princess? In our dragon clan, only the eldest princess's orders count! Go in and arrest him! I'm telling you, if the criminal escapes, none of you will survive."

Hearing the noise outside, Frey's expression changed instantly. She suddenly grabbed Lid's wrist and anxiously looked for cover in the room, as if she wanted to hide him. But in fact, even Frey knew very well that she couldn't hide Lid at all. No one here could hide Lid.

Reed tried to break free, but Fulei's thin arms were stronger than his, and Reed had no way to break free. Fortunately, Fulei could still listen to what people said, so Reed lowered his voice and said to her:

"Thank you, Your Highness Frey." Frey turned around and looked at Reed.

Lid slowly took off a jade pendant from his waist, took it in his hand and looked at it, seeming a little reluctant, but still "reluctantly" stuffed it into Frey's arms, sighed deeply, and wished Zhui

"Your Highness, this is the so-called key. I know that I am being taken away this time, and I am afraid that I am in danger. Although I met Your Highness by chance, Your Highness now has someone to talk to after a long time, and I have also seen hope in the double fear of leaving my hometown and being on the verge of death. To me, Your Highness is like the light of the world, and I will give everything I have to Your Highness."

Fulei let go of Reed's hand, looked at him quietly, and said in a trembling voice: "You..."

Lid smiled casually and continued:

"My only wish is that Your Highness does not give it to the Dragon King. Your Highness also said that the Dragon King prefers the eldest princess Dong Li. If you give him the key, he can just say [

Well done, the rest will be given to Dongli] Then you can give all the credit to your sister. After that, I will insist that I have never seen the key, and then I will probably die miserably. But one day, Your Highness will be able to take this key and find the treasure buried here by your own strength. At that time, no one can take away the Qiqiong of the Palace, and Your Highness will surely replace Dongli. "

After Reed finished speaking, there was a bang and the door of the hall was violently kicked open.

With a rumbling sound, a dark brown two-legged dragon slowly walked into the hall and looked down at Frey and Lid coldly. He did not show any special respect to Frey, but rather had a faint feeling of interrogation:

"Your Highness, the king wants to see the criminal. You are overstepping your authority."

Fulei bit her lip and held the jade pendant given by Lid tightly in her hand without saying anything. Lid smiled and took the initiative to say:

"Her Highness Frey has never seen a human. When she heard that I killed her ninth brother, she wanted to come and see me so that she could avenge her brother herself.

-Anger for family, this can never be called

Wrong. "

The flying dragon suddenly raised its wings, and Lid's entire body flew out and hit the stone wall of the hall. Lid spat out blood, and Alayya, who was outside the door, drew her sword and rushed in directly.

Feilong said coldly:

"You have no right to speak here. Take away!"

Several flying dragons with ridiculously high realms of cultivation walked into the hall, grabbed Lid without saying anything, and took him away. Lid glanced at Frey, and he felt that this was probably his best acting moment. The seemingly forced but actually painful and desperate smile was played to perfection by him, and Frey's eyes immediately turned red.

The moment Reid turned around, he had already forgotten everything that had just happened.

The jade pendant he gave to Fulei was certainly not a key, it was just an ordinary antique.

But Fulei would definitely not give the jade pendant to the Dragon King, otherwise she would not be able to tell whether it was real or fake. Before she realized that it was actually a fake, she would keep asking for the truth, even taking rash actions, and finally turning it into a riot.

What Lid needed most now was chaos. There was really little he could do, because he was unfamiliar with the Dragon Tribe and had no chess pieces to use. If he didn't have any chess pieces, he would create them.

Lid could feel Frey's gaze behind him. She looked at the dragon that took Lid away in front of her without asking for her consent.

She clenched her teeth. Although Fulei didn't say anything, there was already a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
