Chapter 114: The Mage Was Also Crazy For It

William Lowe was extremely unwilling towards Prince Seidan’s offer to help get the formula.

Everyone knew that you were the one who went to get the formula, how could it become his later on?

I’m afraid that even if you got it, you would say that you didn’t!

However, William Lowe didn’t dare to refuse the Prince outright and thought for a long time before coming up with a reason to stop the Prince from going.

“Well, Prince Seidan, I really don’t want to trouble you with this matter. Don’t you still need to go look for Princess Faith? I won’t trouble you with this matter.”

You, Seidan, have a mission. You can’t just act as you please.

Seidan thought about it and found that it was indeed as such.

He was now in charge of finding Faith. It wouldn’t be good if he strayed too far.

“How about this, I’ll get my men to help you, is that alright?”

Prince Seidan’s men were usually elite members of the Kingdom Guards.

He was saying he would get his men to help him, but who exactly would they help?

William Lowe saw through it but didn’t say anything.

He didn’t dare to refuse anymore, because the other party’s knight combat aura was already overflowing.

The Prince’s large hands were constantly stroking the hilt of his sword, acting as if he would make a move if they could not reach an agreement.

Unless William Lowe wanted to face the fury of a tier 6 knight, it was better to endure it.

Hence, in this seemingly friendly and harmonious atmosphere, both parties discussed the specific time and place of departure.

The time was set for tomorrow

However, to prevent the other party from getting to Eddie in advance, William Lowe did not inform him of their destination.

Prince Seidan did not care about these things though.

As long as he was still in this kingdom, there wasn’t anyone who would dare to not give him face.

No matter who it was, even if it was the tier 8 mage Mondo, he would still have to nod his head in respect.

He did not believe that there was anyone in this kingdom who was more powerful than Mondo.

William Lowe hurriedly left the palace after finishing the discussion.

He had to call a family meeting to discuss tomorrow’s plans.

… … …

The outskirts of the country of Langham were uninhabited because there was a Forest of Magic Beasts around here.

A Forest of Magic Beasts is a general name for forests with quite a number of magic beasts.

Only when their numbers reached a certain target would the forest be called a Forest of Magic Beasts.

This place should have been full of magic beasts, but now there were no traces of them at all.

This was all because there was an army stationed here.

The soldiers here wore cloth armor, and their eyes were always alert to their surroundings.

The sign of the garrison was black and red.

They were the vanguard team from the country of Dolan.

They were ordered to come in advance to collect information.

The Forest of Magic Beasts, which was already sparsely populated, immediately became their natural protection.

The warriors also dealt with the magic beasts in the forests by wiping out some of the low-rank magic beasts in the outer area.

In the process of all this, people kept returning and leaving.

Their purpose of coming here was very simple.

It was to find the underage black dragon that had stolen the provisions of their army.

According to the tier 8 mage Chino, the tracking spell that was attached to the black dragon could last be tracked to the country of Langham, which was why they were here to investigate.

Every day, they would go back and forth to gather intelligence.

Until one day, a team of vanguards came back with the latest intelligence.

A most likely underage black dragon had appeared in the country of Langham.

Under the double verification by repeated confirmation and spiritual mages, the authenticity of the news was confirmed.

The captain of the vanguard team immediately collected this news and brought it back to Duke Shelby in the country of Dolan.

When he saw that there was finally news of the black dragon, Duke Shelby could not help but be excited.

Good Heavens! After waiting for so long, you are finally willing to show up.

After pondering for a while, Duke Shelby called Chino over.

He briefly told Chino about the information that the vanguards had brought back.

“What do you think? Is now the best time to send out troops?”

Chino pondered for a moment, and the white mage robe on his body fluttered even though there was no wind.

This was a sign that he was thinking seriously.

“Since this black dragon dares to appear, it means that its injuries have recovered a lot. This time, it has appeared in the territory of another country. It will be very difficult for our army to enter. I don’t recommend forcefully entering the territory of another country.”

Facing the numerous difficult problems that Mage Chino had mentioned, Duke Shelby suddenly lost his gusto.

“Then what do you think we should do now? We can’t just let the meat that has reached our mouths fly away, right?”

As an ambitious person, Duke Shelby dreamed to own the black dragon.

He wouldn’t give up so easily.

Chino also smiled.

“I know what you’re thinking. To be honest, we mages also want a dragon as our mount, so now there’s a solution.”

“What solution?”

“Cooperation!”

“What do you mean?”

Duke Shelby looked at Chino in surprise.

He understood the meaning of the word cooperation. It was nothing more than them crusading against the underage big dark dragon together with the country of Langham.

But after the crusade was over, how were they going to share the spoils?

They couldn’t just split the dragon in half, right?

He wanted the dragon alive.

How much could a dead dragon be worth?

If it was a living dragon, who could resist the temptation and not take it all for themselves?

Duke Shelby naturally understood this principle.

Cooperation sounded very unreliable to him.

Chino only shook his head and expressed his disappointment at Duke Shelby’s ability to understand.

Cooperation did not mean that we would attack the black dragon together with the other party. Instead, we should use the information we have to motivate the other party.

Chino explained to Duke Shelby.

We can use the information we have to lure the other side’s main force to guide the Black Dragon to the kingdom’s border, then we will ambush with our main force there. After the fight over there is almost over, we will clean up the mess. This way, not only can we weaken the other side’s main force, but we can also keep our fighting strength.

Isn’t this kind of “cooperation” good?

Listening to Chino’s plan, Duke Shelby was amazed that he was such an expert.

“You can even think of such a despicable move, you’re really quite the expert!”

Chino shook his head.

“What I said above is not important. What’s important is how are we going to make the other party believe in this matter and do it. This is the most crucial point.”

Although Duke Shelby’s personality was ruthless, he was not stupid.

He could hear the hidden meaning in Chino’s words.

“Then your suggestion is?”

“It is not enough that the information was provided by the vanguards, we have to verify it with our own eyes.”

Duke Shelby was a little dazed when he heard this.

Mage Chino, what do you mean by this?

“What I mean is very simple. That is, we have to pretend to be ordinary adventurers and personally go to the kingdom of Langham to see what the situation is like.”

Duke Shelby was immediately displeased when he heard that.

“Why should I play the role of an adventurer and go there? I am a Duke, so why should I go and suffer that?”

“Then do you want the Black Dragon?”

“Yes…”

“Then don’t talk nonsense.”

Duke Shelby looked at Chino who had snowy white hair, and could not imagine that these were the words of an old man in his eighties.

As expected, not only was he crazy for the Black Dragon, the mage was also crazy for it.
