Even if you become a witch, you have to eat oranges

What is it that is being traded?

Elena was naturally curious about this question, but she couldn't ask it at this time, so she asked another question:

"Then how do you want us to help you?"

"To put it simply, I hope to borrow your power, Master Messenger."

"I know that the messenger and her companions who come every time have powerful power... although they are not as powerful as the Transcendents, they are far beyond ordinary dragon people."

"We dragons have the advantage of fighting in close quarters, but the shortcomings are very obvious. If we can get the help of the witch's power, we will definitely be able to destroy those 'Devil's Towers'!"

Elena confirmed that the 'Devil's Tower' undoubtedly refers to the blood-breeding towers she had seen before.

"As for whether I want to assist you, I still need to discuss it with my companions."

Elena was somewhat reluctant in her heart. After all, she had just been beaten so badly, how could she not have any grudges in her heart.

Of course, if the benefits offered are tempting enough, it’s not impossible to consider it.After being able to use the magic weapon and trump card, she still had some leeway.

Seeing that Elena was not looking very positive, the dragon man Shane Shit changed the topic:

"Seeing the envoy reminded me of the one who came last time - every envoy's visit is once every few decades. I have only seen the old man five times in my long life. Just count these. One witch after another left the deepest impact on me."

"Oh? What's the name of that witch?"

Elena asked curiously, since she is a witch sent by the Elta family, she should not be unknown after such a long time.

"Let me think about it...well, her name is Aite. She is such a fiery little girl."

Elena blinked, but she didn't expect that she really knew him.But it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

I just didn’t expect to hook up with the Erta family at such a young age. Lady Lernina, are you committing a crime?

No, Lernina seems to be a little younger - so this is a story about a poor boy meeting a rich girl?

"...This one is indeed my elder. She is called the Explosive Flame Witch outside, and she is already very famous and powerful."

Elena briefly talked about Aite's status in the outside world.

"The growth rate of the witch is really amazing." The old dragon man couldn't help but sigh:

"Back then, she asked me about the secret of fire, but I didn't expect that she has grown into a big shot." As he spoke, a blazing flame ignited in Scheinshte's hand, but it did not hurt the palm of his hand at all.

"Excuse me, what exactly did she ask you for?"

"Of course I have to use the power of 'Secret' before I advance - old man, I haven't been able to advance for hundreds of years. Being able to use 'Secret' is the only thing I can be proud of."

Elena's eyes glowed a little when she heard this. This 'mystery' should refer to the characteristic.

"Then, can you please teach me a lesson?"

"Ugh--"

Scheinshit suddenly let out a long sigh, with a look of deep sadness on his face:

"The sacrifice caused by the blood disaster for a period of time is very harmful to the clan and the battle. I really don't have the energy or mood to teach others."

"If someone is willing to help us and reduce the casualties of our tribe, I can relax."

Elena's mouth twitched, this was not a hint but an explicit statement.But she really couldn't make her own decision now, so she could only act stupid.

"Lord Messenger, I have one last question."

The wrinkled face of the old dragon man became extremely serious, and he asked solemnly:

"Excuse me, what do the great gods think of the recent bloody disasters?"

Elena was shocked. She didn't expect that the 'descendant of gods' mentioned by the old dragon man before seemed to be more than just an adjective.

Naturally, I have not received any oracle.

Her mind raced, and she finally gave a vague answer:

"As long as you persist, destiny will naturally bring about smooth results."

"Yes, my lord."

The dragon clan leader chewed on this sentence over and over again, feeling that it had a profound meaning. If he didn't understand it, he must not have fully understood it.

……

Elena returned to the campfire and roughly recounted the exchange with the dragon man to her companions.

"Why should we help them? We had to fight to the death with them before."

Simalu curled her lips and said that she obviously still had grudges about the previous incident and could not accept helping the enemy.

"We can first see what's so special about their tribe, that they can actually make a deal with the witch - if the harvest is too low, they won't be interested in them."

Hesson's ideas are obviously much more rational. If there are enough benefits for her, limited cooperation is not impossible.

"Ah, by the way, why do you guys eat so differently from me?"

Elena was suddenly confused. It seemed to her that they were grilling meat, while she was drinking broth.

"Because Hela came over and occupied the bonfire before -"

Naya burst out laughing and said:

"Because I told her that soup is easy to digest after all."

Elena fell into deep thought. She immediately walked towards the carriage and said seriously:

"I have to find a reason to praise her quickly!"

……

"Lord Patriarch, they are probably not messengers——"

The tall dragon man came over. In the direction of his advance, the dragon men who were resting stood up one after another and looked at him nervously.

The leader of the dragon clan pressed his hands to signal them to relax, and took the initiative to greet them:

"So what? At least I can confirm that they are related to the great Elta family."

"So what! There are too many witches related to that family. Besides, what's the use of trying to please them!"

"In the face of this bloody disaster, every possible force should unite! The continuation of the ethnic group is the most important thing."

Scheinst's face was serious. After a pause, he said:

"Don't underestimate that great existence. They can last for thousands of years and have a much deeper foundation than you think."

"If we really anger them, a small tribe like ours will be wiped out easily!"

He pointed to the vast starry sky that covered the sky above the secret realm and seemed to never change. Countless stars there shone brightly and radiated bright starlight:

"For more than 1000 years, the glory of the Kingdom of God has been hanging there, telling all existences that this secret land is their territory."

After a brief silence, the dragon leader sarcastically said:

"...However, now there are other gods' brilliance coming to compete with this Kingdom of God."

He pointed to the blood-red setting sun on the other side. Different from the gentle and vast starry sky, it carried a frightening brilliance and coercion when it appeared. It was an existence that had surpassed the starry sky in recent times:

"In this case, it seems that this god is not invincible."

"According to family records, it has been more than 1000 years... There have been several invasions by the power of foreign gods, but the starry sky has always been the same starry sky."

Volume 139: [-]. Communication

The direction of progress seemed to be facing the setting sun.

The orange-red sunlight was as deep as blood. The ordinary leaves on both sides of the forest were dazzlingly green against the dim background, and the dark brown branches were blurred in the sunset.

A procession moves along the trail.

"The environment around here always feels a bit familiar..."

Elena did not stay in the car, but walked beside the leader of the dragon people. The dragon people were strong and tall, and walking was already amazingly efficient.

"This is the edge of the Cold Forest Region among the four regions. It is at the junction with the Wind Valley Region we are going to. We will leave here soon."

"Four Realms?"

"Yes, it is said that hundreds of thousands of days and nights ago, Lord Dragon God used his supreme power to piece together four space fragments and create this four-domain space."

Scheinshit's wrinkled face showed awe and admiration for the Dragon God, and he continued:

"Legend has it that at the edge of the four realms, there is a powerful adult dragon sleeping. Once there is an event that can endanger the entire space, they will wake up and maintain the peace of this small world."

The old dragon man now knew that this little witch was very curious about various legends and history, so he took the trouble to explain these widely circulated stories.

"However, this is just a legend. No one has ever seen a real adult dragon. There are quite a few rumors about it."

"So, have you ever explored the depths of this space?"

"No, the tribe has lasted for thousands of years, and generations of explorers have gone to the ends of the Four Realms, but they have never really found the Kingdom of Dragons."

Scheinshit's face was a little dim, but his eyes were filled with yearning and longing, and he sighed:

"This is just a trial place built by Lord Dragon God... No one has ever seen the real Dragon God's kingdom from the outside world."

Isn't it the secret realm outside, the Seven-layered Abyssal Sea?It is true that materials and treasures related to dragon production are often found here... Even the Red Reef Islands on the apprentice level have dragon-related treasures.

I don’t know what is going on in the deepest levels, but the first few levels of the secret realm are almost completely destroyed by the witches... The Kingdom of Dragons you hope to see may not exist at all...

Elena didn't dare to say this, she asked curiously:

"Even if we don't make it to the end, we should still be able to get some deep news, right? What is the outside of the Four Domains like?"

"Actually, this is considered a secret..."

The old dragon man let out a bitter laugh, but still couldn't resist Elena's curious gaze and continued:

"Among the dragon people who went to explore, there are many elderly transcendants... They have protected the tribe all their lives, and at the end when the fire of life was about to extinguish, they chose to look for the unknown hope."

"A returning transcendent dragon man said: At the end of the Cold Forest Domain, frozen water covers everything. It is so cold that even the air you exhale will freeze. A large number of white giant beasts live there."

"Deep in the Wind Valley region, there are flocks of iron-like birds living in large mountains. They roam in the sky. Intruders will be surrounded by them if they make a sound. The king among them is as terrifying as a young dragon."

"In the Fire Peak Domain, the mountains are spewing out flowing fire. There is no life there. I heard that there are huge black shadows swimming in the sea of ​​fire. The Dune Domain is a large desert from beginning to end. It is an absolute dead zone that will deprive everyone of everything. the power of."

Feelings: We walked around outside and then ran inside... Elena felt more and more familiar as she listened.

"Are those dangers really enough to stop you?"

Elena questioned. With the strength of the clan leader and...the dragon leader in front of her, it shouldn't be difficult to survive if they were careful.

She generally understood that a dragon's transcendent refers to a person who has clearly surpassed the boundaries of an apprentice, but has not yet reached the 'official witch' level and will not be excluded.

"Because I can't get out, there are invisible obstacles blocking me."

"Since there is no way out from the outside, what is it like inside? The place where the four realms meet should be very special!"

"Yes, the center of the entire four-domain space is the most special place... you will be able to see it in just a while."

The old dragon man smiled and said:

"That is the place that all beings with dragon blood long for. It is the final trial place built by the great Dragon God for his descendants. There are tons of rare treasures in it."

"There, we, who have lived in this small world all our lives, have to leave here to explore the hope of the outside world..."

Wouldn't it be natural to be excluded once you reach the official witch level?Their system should have a similar jump in strength.

"Do you really want to leave here?"

"I am already old...but many young dragon people want to see the larger world and see the kingdom of the Dragon God."

He stopped talking about this topic and asked instead:

"Although it was a trial site built for the descendants of the Dragon God, the divine envoys of Starry Sky were able to bypass this restriction every time and explore the trial site."

"They will bring out some things that are useful to the dragon blood descendants and exchange some precious resources with the tribe."

It turns out that the transaction refers to this... This can be considered a mistake.

"Yes, after your tribe rests, we also hope to go to the trial site."

Scheinshte did not expect to receive such an answer. He deliberately did not ask them when they would go or if they would go.

He has never heard of other beings besides the divine envoys of the starry sky who have mastered the method of deceiving the Dragon God - is it possible that they are not cheating and are really the envoys sent by the starry sky kingdom?

The old dragon man here fell into self-doubt about his speculation, while Elena over there urged:

"Tell me more about the trial ground!"
