Make the dragon great again

Chapter 34 Leeks and New Servants

"Do I have any other options?"

"A wise decision." The pure white dragon nodded slightly.

The cumulus thunderstorm gradually subsided, leaving only a small part of the thundercloud as a warning to the Lich. Alvarez was relieved when he saw this, which meant that the opponent at least had no intention of killing him.

And Adrian was actually secretly relieved. Although he was not stable on the surface, in fact, this state of full talent and ability was close to the limit of his current strength;

Originally, Adrian was still worried that if Alvarez broke the jar and sacrificed the army of undead collected for decades like he did during the battle against Edmund 50 years ago, in exchange for a short time If you have an extremely strong internal force, the situation may change unexpectedly.

It's not that Adrian is really afraid of this Lich. If the fifth-level [Thunderstorm Cumulus] is added with a bunch of Draconic magic that has reached the fourth level, the Lich with a damaged phylactery will not have any damage at all. The slightest chance of a comeback.

What Adrian cares about is related to void feedback.

——In addition to defeating the enemy within the scope of the dungeon, and then making the enemy lose their fighting spirit, the void feedback obtained is higher than simply defeating or expelling!

He has verified this point from Glenn's previous behavior.

Among the two groups of humans who entered the dungeon, those who were directly killed provided the lowest amount of void feedback;
Those who lost the ability to fight and were judged to be defeated by the Dungeon Guardian provided slightly more void feedback;

And those who lose the fighting spirit first and then lose the ability to act, provide the most void feedback!
After Adrian came into contact with Edmund, he had some understanding of the high-level power of this world, so he felt a certain sense of urgency. He didn't want to miss the void feedback that could speed up his own strength.

Alvarez is the most powerful intelligent creature among the enemies Adrian has encountered so far. After defeating him, the void feedback provided is already huge. On this basis, if the condition of "losing fighting spirit" can be met, The added void feedback is considerable.

Therefore, if Alvarez could voluntarily give up resistance, Adrian would not choose to fight to the end.

However, the battle is over now, and Alvarez has lost his will to fight, so the dungeon has judged that the fight against the intruders is over, and "settled" the void feedback.

Therefore, Adrian, who is based on the idea of ​​maximizing benefits, began to come alive again at this time...

'Since it has been judged that the confrontation is over, if I fight Alvarez again at this time and defeat him again, I wonder if I can get a new void feedback? '

Adrian's long eyes were shining, and he felt as if he had found a broad road.

'Hmm... If this idea is feasible, wouldn't I just need to imprison a group of intelligent creatures in the dungeon in the future, and let them escape freely at regular intervals, and then the dungeon guards will catch them back again and again... Sigh! '

The pure white dragon's eyes suddenly turned to the two groups of humans in the distance, their eyes were very hot.

'Wouldn't it be like cutting leeks, one crop after another? '

Rex, Coleman and the others felt goosebumps all of a sudden on their backs, but because they didn't dare to look directly at Adrian, they didn't know where this strange feeling came from...

'Well, there is no rush, let's get this lich thing done first... Tsk tsk, how can there be no undead creatures in a dungeon? '

Under Adrian's slightly burning eyes, Alvarez asked:
"I want to know, what do I need to do Your Excellency to let me go?"

"Let you go? I don't think you are qualified to negotiate such conditions."

Adrian looked calm, and he wasn't afraid to provoke Alvarez at all. At worst, he would hit him again, just to test the guess just now.

Edmund, who was in the staff, was quite frightened by the master's tone. He was really worried that Alvarez would be completely enraged, and then he would drag his original body to self-destruct together...

However, Alvarez was not as staunch as Edmund imagined. He had made up his mind not to fight this phantom dragon again, and as a lich who aimed to be "truly immortal", his ghost life There is no such thing as "one dies" in the creed.

Being alive is more important than anything else, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to transform himself into an undead lich...

After looking at the [Edmund's Rod] suspended beside Adrian's dragon head, Alvarez said cautiously:
"Then... I wonder if Your Excellency is willing to accept my surrender?"

This time, not only Adrian, who was looking forward to the battle, and Edmund, who was worried that the lich would break the jar, but also a group of people lying on the ground shivering in the distance, were shocked by Alvarez's straightforward attitude. Arrived.

Adrian forcibly swallowed the phrase "If you want to fight, fight" that had just been mentioned in his throat, barely maintained his indifferent and profound look, and said:
"...Oh? How do you want me to surrender?"

"I want to sign [Soul Contract] with Your Excellency just like Edmund!"

Alvarez said these words, in fact, after careful consideration.

First of all, Edmund is obviously only one of the servants in the contract, but Adrian intends to help him regain his body, which shows that there is a high probability that the two parties signed the [Soul Contract] with transaction conditions as a premise. Edmund and Adrian Ann is a direct affiliation.

Secondly, since it is impossible to leave, there are only two ways of passive death or active surrender, then Alvarez, who will definitely not choose to die, in order to avoid revenge by Edmund, the "senior" who first loyal to the master, and the master Signing the same contract as it is the best way;

In this way, Alvarez and Edmund are equal in terms of contract. At least Alvarez avoided the possibility of Edmund becoming his "officer" in the future, and blocked Edmund from seeking revenge by taking advantage of his status difference. Chance.

And most importantly, Alvarez, as an ancient king in the second era, had a much clearer understanding of dragons than modern people:

An ancient pure-color giant dragon can steadily reach the sixth [Legendary] rank when it becomes an adult. If it grows further into an [Old Dragon], its strength can reach the seventh [Sanctuary] rank, and reach the peak, To become a [Ancient Dragon] pure-color giant dragon, that is almost a god-like ninth-order [Havoc]!
It was the end of the second era when Alvarez was alive. At that time, fantasy creatures were already rare in the mainland. Although the records of various fantasy and mythical creatures were far clearer than modern ones, they were only heard of but never seen;

Therefore, in Alvarez's heart, it is inevitable that he will have contempt for the legendary records, and even think that he can defeat a young pure-colored dragon and obtain all the dragon's blood;

It wasn't until just now that Alvarez was forced into a decisive defeat by Adrian's [Thunderstorm Cumulus], and then he realized that the gap between the Gaia species and the Phantasmal species is really so big... …

Thinking of Edmund's stubborn "old friend" who surrendered to the dragon city lord, why don't he just be a little more straightforward and make a good impression in such a situation?
That's why Alvarez directly "demanded" to "sell his soul" to Adrian...

……

"...Sworn One, Alvarez Kenya Tudante."

The fiery red branded text appeared directly below the bloody contract, and then disappeared into the air together with the entire contract.

In the end, there were no twists and turns. With Edmund hesitant to speak and Rex and the others stunned, Alvarez signed the [Soul Servant Contract] with Adrian.

As for the "conditions" that Alvarez received, they were not treated as preferentially as Edmund was. There was no such thing as "helping to break the limit", only "forgive crimes and provide a place to nourish the soul".

Looking at Alvarez who has only a translucent soul body and leading a bunch of undead creatures to bow down to him, and then look at Fay, Glenn, Olin, and Edmund who has returned to his original body , Adrian sighed:
"Finally, I feel a little like a dungeon master..."

Alvarez, who had surrendered, put on a straight posture and said obsequiously:
"Master Adrian, is this large underground cavity the dungeon we are waiting for? It is indeed full of magic power, and it is much larger than the dungeon I had before. It is indeed your residence, Lord Adrian!"

"This is just the first floor of the dungeon. Glenn and Olin are the masters of this floor." Adrian Dragon Claw pointed to the two dragon beasts that were staring at the Lich.

Alvarez said with half flattery and half amazement:

"Such a grand underground space is actually only the first floor of Lord Adrian's residence! You really deserve to be Lord Adrian!"

Hearing this topic, Edmund, who was still getting used to his long-lost body, also turned his attention to this side.

He had just found out the identity of Adrian's dungeon master, but since he already owed the soul contract, no matter what he thought, he could only accept this fact, and had to have certain respect for his master's "old lair". To understanding.

And Adrian, who finally got two men who can talk, is also very happy to talk at this time, and then said:

"This dungeon is a super-large magical castle with space attributes. If you add the mimic castle on the surface, there are ten floors in total, but now except for the first and second floors underground, and the ninth floor of the core where I live Outside, the other floors are all vacant.”

This time, Alvarez was really frightened, and even Edmund, who was rather sullen, was shocked by the information revealed in Adrian's words.

The causes of dungeons are various, but they are generally no more than four types: ancient tombs, lost cities, natural caves, and large-scale magical facility relics.

Among them, the category of "Magic Facility Ruins" is the rarest, most difficult to form, and also the most dangerous category!
In Alvarez's memory, there are only three dungeons of this type that he knows of, each of which is in the famous place of death in the second era, and even ordinary legendary powerhouses dare not set foot in it.

As for the dungeon of my master, just listening to the description, "has the attribute of space", "super-large magic castle", "ten floors", these are compared with those [places of death] that Alvarez knows Don't give in too much, or even worse!

But Edmund's shock was very pure.

A super-large ancient magical castle ruins with space attributes!This is a treasure mountain for any magician, especially a Gaia magician like Edmund who has reached his limit. Encountering such a relic is like getting a magic handbook left by a high elf!

Therefore, Edmund, who was still a little bit emotional when he realized that he had become a "dungeon master's running dog", immediately put aside the strange feeling in his heart and focused all his attention on observing everything around him...

Compared with the two magicians, Fay and the other three inferior dragons just tilted their heads, saying that they could not understand these difficult words at all, which made Adrian feel that their intelligence still needs to be improved.

Although I really want to continue chatting with the two magicians, it seems that there is still one thing that needs to be resolved first.

Adrian looked at Rex and the others who had got up from the ground in the distance and were looking at this side uneasily.

"It just so happens that the addition of two magicians, especially the lich Alvarez, has improved the defense system of the dungeon a lot at once. We can use these human races to test the [leek field] plan that we just thought of!"
