Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

"At least we have reached an agreement on this matter." Kleisto breathed a sigh of relief. He was really nervous just now. If Ron didn't listen to his explanation at all and insisted on turning him to the Goddess, the whole situation would be ruined. It will definitely be worse.

"I only have one question." Ron stared at the crystal dragon. "Why would you make such a bet with that god? I have fought against him - barely - it is far from an existence that I can deal with. And you... can you tell which ancient dragon you can shake down?"

Apart from this, Ron really couldn't think of how Krystal could win this bet.

"Unfortunately, no," the Crystal Dragon grinned, seeming to be smiling, but Ron couldn't feel any warmth in his smile, and even Xuri's skull-shaped head smiled more benignly than this guy. Be kind, "But you know what? We Crystal Dragons have unique advantages in astrological divination."

"I divined that you have a trump card that can contain that giant - not the arrow, but the real power that belongs to you."

Ron laughed angrily at his words: "That's really weird! You can divine something on me, but I don't know it myself? What the hell are you thinking?"

"Impossible," Kleisto looked at Ron firmly, his mirror-like eyes seeming to see Ron clearly inside and out, "You must have such power in your body, if the astrology is possible It’s not accurate, but now that you and I are face to face, this feeling is very strong here!”

"There is a kind of power in you, which is tainted with the aura of being close to the gods! If you rely on it to ascend to the position of gods or compete with gods, it is not enough, but to deal with the heir of gods, at least it is more than enough to contain him!"

"Think again!"

The Crystal Dragon was wrapped in the radiant power of positive energy. His words seemed to be born with the power to make people believe in him. Coupled with his firm tone, even Ron was shaken at this moment and began to Think seriously about whether you really have such power.

It has something to do with the gods...gray mist? But that does not belong to him, it is the power of the Finalizer. Ron can only use it when that existence wants to lend it to him. Usually when facing powerful undead creatures.

The Frost Goddess is a living creature.

If he wanted to borrow Gracia's power, the Grand Duke would definitely be willing to give it to him as long as he was willing to sign a contract, but Ron was not willing to become a supporter of the devil, and strictly speaking, it could not be considered his own. strength. Just like Gray Mist, it was just some kind of "reward paid in advance", or "charity".

Then there is only...

A strange rune appeared in the palm of Ron's hand. Its appearance was accompanied by a faint black mist and exuded the smell of blood, but these were completely unimportant in Kleisto's eyes!

This rune has an aura that is close to that of a god! That’s it!

"This is... the 'dust rune' of the 'Chisel Tooth Pact'! There is no way I can mistake this!"

A chisel-tooth contract? Dust runes? Ron looked at the crystal dragon's excited and vigilant expression in confusion, and his vigilance hid fear, and wanted to confirm whether the big lizard was treating him like a monkey.

"You don't know? Ah, that's right. If you haven't started your multiverse journey, how would you know?" Kresto was startled at first, and then showed a look of surprise, "The Pact of Chisels is not The organization of our world, although this dragon clan has expanded to dozens of planes, their teeth have not yet bitten the edge here. "It's normal for you not to know."

"I know that you dragons are divided into different camps based on colors, metals, gems, etc., but I have never heard of a 'chisel tooth'." Ron noticed that the other party was observing this rune, so he tried to let him know Be a little clearer. After all, this Krysto seemed to know something about it.

"Of course, of course, the dragon faction you mentioned is one of them," Crystal Dragon nodded, "but as a large and powerful group, dragon factions are not the only way to divide them."

"In the endless multiverse, metal dragons may form five metal knights with different ideals but the same goal; different types of dragons may form the Scale Claw Alliance for the same goal; an extremely powerful dragon may Will become the overlord in his world and rule all the dragons; different breathing methods may also create specific groups, and in addition to these there is another one: the participants all agree on one aspect of the dragon's nature - scales, teeth, Claws, wings, and eyes represent endurance, ruthlessness, brutality, speed, and cunning respectively.”

"The Pact of the Chiseled is one such faction whose members believe that dragons should ruthlessly and forcefully rule over other races, and the Dust Runes were created to achieve this goal."

"These runes constitute a special language and writing system. Only the core members of the faction can fully understand their meaning and exert the most complete power, while the peripheral members can only read and write but do not understand their true meaning. As for those creatures under the rule, they can understand the meaning conveyed by the power of runes, but they cannot learn to read and write throughout their lives. "

"Faction members certainly do not teach these runes to the ruled creatures, and the ruled cannot express the meaning of the runes clearly and accurately. Such a system ensures that the core demands can be carried out unambiguously without any confusion. A case of tampering and distortion.”

Kresto said, his eyes still staring at the runes in Ron's hand: "Of course, these rules only apply to creatures within their jurisdiction and members who have joined them. For a person who has never even heard of That doesn't apply to their humans - you know what I mean, friend?"

"I can only see the parts of Dragon Language and Infernal Language from it, but that's obviously not all of it," Ron frowned, "I have no way to apply it."

If Ron could crack it, he would have put the runes intercepted from the bloodline of Exuri into practice.

"It doesn't matter." Upon hearing Ron say this, the Crystal Dragon became even more excited, "Tell me! Tell me its meaning! I can complete it for you!"

"Oh my god, ever since I passed through their territory on an accidental trip, I was forcibly recruited as a peripheral member. If it hadn't been for an accident, I would have donated there for the rest of my life! I have always wanted to give to them after I escaped from there. A little bit of retaliation, but I never had a chance! This time I picked it up!”

"'Scale', 'Thunder'." Ron read out the two different meanings of this dust rune in dragon language and purgatory language respectively. Before he could ask Klesto whether he could pass these two simple What vocabulary has been acquired, but the crystal dragon has already started roaring up to the sky.

On his scales, positive energy and radiant energy were rapidly transformed, turning into arcs full of danger and destruction, leaping on his huge dragon body!

"I understand! I understand!" Kleisto laughed in surprise, "You idiots! I'm Kleisto! You can't restrict me on any level! I have mastered the dust runes. One of them——"

"Kala——"

Under Ron's stunned gaze, as the electric arc on the crystal dragon became more intense and violent, a bolt of lightning was drawn by it and fell from the sky, striking the corner of his head accurately. The surrounding electric arc immediately lost control and swallowed up the adult dragon in an instant!

When Ron opened his eyes again and his vision recovered from the blazing white lightning, Kresto fell into the surrounding ruins in a state of embarrassment like charcoal. His dark eyes saw Ron's gaze. He seemed to want to I wanted to say something more, but all I could say was a cloud of black smoke with crackling static electricity coming out of my mouth, accompanied by a sound——
