Hobbs felt that his train of thought had short-circuited.
That's right. Under the cloudless sky ten thousand miles in front of the mist, it was indeed very strange for a black dragon to suddenly appear without any warning. Moreover, after it appeared, it didn't attack the Whalebone that was closer to it. Instead, it immediately went for the empire warship. Hobbs found it particularly peculiar.
But you're saying that this black dragon was summoned by this Elementium Silver smuggling merchant? How is that possible?
Even if this man who called himself Ishmael was indeed a powerful magic chanter, he could not reach this realm. Dragons were the holiest symbol of the Empire. Ever since Terra I, no one was qualified to sign a summoning contract with them.
Even the strongest magic chanter now couldn't summon a dragon to fight for him. Even if he could… was there a need to use such an overwhelming force to deal with an empire warship?
