Sofia and Moray went to the Magic Laboratory to study the remaining two Lait people, and to deal with the explosion caused by the goblin.
Soon, at Otto’s request, Saru arranged quite a few Lizardman Scouts and Hawkmen to go to the Sulfur Mountains.
They were responsible for monitoring the Lait people’s every move, while also trying to capture some new test subjects.
Once everything was properly arranged, Otto looked at the empty Council Chamber and felt an inexplicable sense of comfort as he lay on the Blackstone Platform covered with treasures.
Now, almost everyone in the Land of the Soaring Dragon had a lot of work to do, while Otto, as the highest leader, found himself with too much free time on his hands.
For the following days, Otto spent his time eating and sleeping comfortably.
It wasn’t until a week later, when the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce returned to the Land of the Soaring Dragon, that Otto’s life began to change.
This time, the leader was not Elsa but a mysterious woman cloaked in a black robe.
She called herself Black Rose, but according to Sofia, she was actually the Fake Elsa from last time.
By her side this time was not the short-haired female warrior Heel but a tall, thin man who looked sickly.
His name was Black Spirit, an undead mage whom Moray recognized at a glance.
Just like their previous conversation, the Bauhinia brought a large number of skilled slaves and various production equipment to the Land of the Soaring Dragon.
However, Otto was somewhat dissatisfied with the severe shortage of weapons, and the promised Torsion Ballista arrived with only one unit.
In the Council Chamber, Otto met the leader of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, Black Rose.
“I think I need an explanation…”
With cold eyes, Otto stared at Black Rose, while Black Spirit next to her struggled to breathe under the immense Dragon Fear.
His body seemed to be in poor condition, as if he would drop dead at any moment.
Black Rose, on the other hand, seemed to be in good shape, apparently strong in power.
However, she hadn’t come to the Land of the Soaring Dragon to intentionally offend Otto, and after realizing that the Silver Dragon was genuinely angry, she knelt down on one knee and began to explain.
“Honorable Silver Dragon Lord, please believe that we have our difficulties…”
“Difficulties?”
Otto shook his head: “I only look at the results, not the process. All I know is that you haven’t fulfilled what you promised, and now you’re talking difficulties.
“Can I understand that…”
With his voice sounding terrifyingly dark, Otto continued: “Are you playing
At the same time, Otto increased the release of his Dragon Fear.
At this point, even Black Rose felt uncomfortable.
Black Spirit, next to her, was directly overwhelmed by the powerful aura, feeling short of breath.
“Great Silver Dragon Lord, please give us a chance to explain…”
Black Rose gritted her teeth, cursing Otto in her heart while speaking respectfully: “We are willing to offer all the slaves and materials we brought to you to express our apologies, just asking for your forgiveness…”
Dragon Fear disappeared instantly, and a smile appeared on Otto’s face.
Although he was now wealthy, saving some expenses was still a good thing, right?
“Now, you can explain what exactly happened.”
“Greedy dragon…”
Black Rose cursed Otto in her heart again, quickly adjusting her attitude and spoke somewhat helplessly: “Honorable Silver Dragon Lord, the reason for the lack of weapons this time is entirely due to the recent unrest in the human world.”
Upon hearing this, Otto immediately thought of the Lait Kingdom’s recent aggressive advances.
According to reports from Lizardman Scouts and Hawkmen near the Sulfur Mountains, the Lait Kingdom had declared occupation of all of Mido’s territories two days ago.
Now, Mido had already become a part of Lait.
Not only that, it seemed that the Lait King was not content with just this, as the Hawkmen’s intelligence indicated that Lait’s army had even reached the Sky Mountains.
Apparently, he also wanted to firmly control the dwarves in his hands.
However, the dwarves were not easy to deal with, so Lait’s army was stuck at the foot of the Sky Mountains, unable to advance any further.
Could it be that the Lait King’s current momentum was so strong because…
While Otto was thinking about this, Black Rose had already started explaining: “Recently, the Lait Kingdom has stirred up wars in all directions, with neighboring human countries feeling threatened. A large number of weapons have been forcibly confiscated by the nobility and royalty.”
“The weapons we brought this time were from the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce’s stock in Black Gold City. Although the other chamber of commerce also held a considerable amount of stock, they were unwilling to sell at this time without sky-high prices.”
There were some things that Black Rose didn’t say.
If it hadn’t been for the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce seeing the exclusive operating rights to various materials and goods in Nolan Forest, they might have hoarded all the current scarce weapons and equipment like the other chamber of commerce, waiting for a crucial moment to sell at a good price. Suddenly, Otto asked: “What is the current situation around Lait?”
Black Rose was stunned, as she didn’t expect that a dragon would actually care about human kingdoms.
Nevertheless, she quickly replied: “The Lait king has been making aggressive moves recently, and he has already clashed with both Tal and Dilant, occupying an advantageous position.”
There were rumors that Lait’s army was as terrifying and powerful as demons from hell, unstoppable.
Moreover, their weapons and equipment seemed to be getting better and better, so many people speculated that they had collaborated with Mido.”
“Does Bauhinia pay close attention to this war intelligence?”
“Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce also deals in intelligence sales.”
Black Rose seemed to have no intention of hiding anything, and besides, a behemoth dragon wouldn’t likely be a client in this field.
However, she didn’t expect that Otto would soon offer crucial news.
“I am very satisfied with your willingness to offer these materials, so as a reward, I will tell you the latest information about Mido.”
Otto said casually: “Just two days ago, Mido was completely annexed by the Lait Kingdom. Now, the Lait people are confronting the dwarves at the foot of the Sky Mountains.”
‘What?”
Black Rose’s eyes widened in disbelief, because the Lait Kingdom had always been an inconspicuous small country.
To the public, the fact that Lait was simultaneously fighting against both Tal and Dilant was already astonishing. Little did they know that the Lait king was actually waging war on three fronts.
Not only that, but they had also completely eliminated Mido in the meantime, and now they even provoked the dwarves in the Sky Mountains.
Truth be told, Black Rose was reluctant to believe it, but considering the recent situation, it seemed quite possible..
