"Why are you doing this."
When Jared arrived at the meeting place and greeted Caroline and Gina, who were already waiting there, the Lord of Hiryan asked in a strange tone. In response, Jared looked back at her with a curious expression of uncertainty." Did I do something?"
"It is precisely because you have done nothing that I want an answer ... Of course, I'm not trying to meddle in Berukolin's quest, I'm simply standing in the Academy Convocation's position, wanting to know why you chose the way you did." For some reason, Jared noticed that before speaking, the Lord of Heyan first confirmed Kura, who had already shrunk down and fallen asleep in Caroline's arms, before explicitly presenting his counterargument, which made Jared feel a little strange. Although the Lord of the Heavens had once said that the Academy Convocation was an equal class of five, according to the current view, although Eganol treated Kura quite casually on a regular basis, but when it came to serious matters, she would always care about Kura first, which was, I must say, a rather strange thing to say.
"You know very well that the old man is the biggest threat to the Kingdom of Marco, the country's only Aria, and with two Aria on our side and the two of you working together, it would be easy to destroy him. Why didn't you do it? Since Euphemia has given you the command, I don't think I need to intervene in your mission, but I'd like to remind you that if you destroy him, your mission will be completely accomplished, right? Without Max, the Marco Kingdom is nothing more than a toothless tiger, so there's no need to pay attention to it. No matter what those weird machines in this country are, they can't match the power of a single Chanting Envoy, I think you should understand that."
Jared shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I don't think so."
Indeed, just as the Lord of Hiryan said, as long as Max was killed, the kingdom would become a toothless tiger, but a toothless tiger is still a tiger, a tiger has no teeth and claws, just killing Max would not achieve the goal that Jared originally hoped for. And, in Jared's plan, Max's survival was a very important thing.
"I ran away from him, and that gave him a little confidence."
Jared explains to the Lord of Hiryan.
"He believes that we fled because we were unable to confront him head-on. And the reason is just as you said, Max himself believes that he is the unobtainable character of this kingdom, and if we have the real strength, it is impossible to let go of such a good opportunity. But that's exactly what I want him to think. ... Gullibility is the first step to failure, and since he can't take that step on his own, we'll let him take it. Moreover, if we kill him now, it will make the Marco Kingdom even more alert, since they know that the other party is a character who can even easily kill the aria envoys, so they will certainly be very cautious in the next treatment, and may be very anxious to jump over the wall. We have to make sure that we are able to catch all of this group of people, not just a few of them, otherwise, something like a leaky net can be quite troublesome."
"That's a good point, kid. I guess it wasn't for nothing that Euphonia gave you command. ..."
Eganol stretched, then yawned, and turned to wave his hand at the crowd.
"Well, I won't do much, I have my own things to do, and I can't just hang around here all day ..."
"Then, Lord Hyrulean, may I ask you a question?"
Jared smiled helplessly and bitterly, then he opened his mouth to ask, which made Eganol's turn his head curiously to gaze at the teenager in front of him.
"What, you little white boy is not still want to make out with big sister me, now can not, but we can change time ..."
"Hmmm ... hmmm!!!"
Gina grunted heavily, but Eganol was completely unfazed.
"I'm curious."
Jared, on the other hand, has absolutely no intention of being carried away by Eganol.
"From what I've heard, the humans in this country seem to have a deep prejudice against orcs, so how is it that you have been welcomed by them? That's something I'm curious about. ..."
"I'm not an orc, boy. Can't you see that? I didn't realize you had such poor eyesight. You see my tail and my horns, and you still think I'm an orc?"
The Lord of Hyrule stretched out a finger and shook it lightly, and she proudly stuck out her red tongue and licked her lips.
"Never mind, as a reward for not letting me down tonight, let's show you my true form."
The dark, huge shadow covered everything in front of her in the blink of an eye, Gina's eyes opened wide in surprise, and she even retreated behind Caroline. A huge, intense, almost overwhelming aura of majesty flowed out, and the original Eganolle lowered its neck, gazing at the human in front of it with eyes the size of lanterns, and its huge, dark wings slowly unfolded with an incomparable holiness. Everything showed the nature of this huge creature that was far above humans.
"Hmph! Just a slightly larger lizard, a reptilian variant ..."
Though Gina continued to try to ignore the unpleasant feeling of intimidation, her voice was a little weaker now.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear that, little sister. No matter what, I'm a pure-blooded Dark Dragon ..., don't compare me to something as lowly as a Black Dragon, and I won't take revenge on you for that kind of stupid idiot. Then, I'll see you later ..."
A strong gust of wind blew, and the massive figure of Eganol melted into the night sky and disappeared.
"Phew ..."
Until then, Jared was relieved.
（"Who's better thanthe black dragon you killed earlier?)
Caroline inquired as if in jest .
"About a third ... no, a half of her."
(You're also the one who won't give in.)
Caroline laughed softly, even if Jared's mouth was hard, she could see that after watching the restored Eganol, Jared was even a little bit shaken in front of the incomparable dragon's power. The five Great Chanting Ambassadors were indeed unassuming characters, and none of them were easy to deal with. For the two of them, an enemy like Eganol was perhaps even more difficult. Dragons are born with extremely hard scales and armor, as well as strong physical combat abilities. In addition, Eganol's status as a Great Chanting Envoy also gives him great power in magic, so facing such a foe would be even more difficult than facing a normal human.
"Really, don't compare me to you ..."
In the face of Caroline's mockery, Jared could only throw up his hands in surrender. After all, Caroline was the only one among them who didn't show the slightest sign of weakness even in the face of the dragonized Eganol, and Kura, who had long since curled up like a cat next to Caroline in a deep sleep, was completely out of the question. Come to think of it, she was also one of the five Chanting Ambassadors, so maybe she was already used to it.
"Well, let's go back."
Jared shrugged his shoulders and decided not to dwell on this matter. Although Caroline did not show anything on the surface, but from her teasing just now, it is clear that Caroline for Yi Ganol three times "molested" Jared is a bit dissatisfied. So Jared very wisely decided not to continue to dwell on this issue, and ...
"Wait."
A call from behind caused the group to stop in their tracks, they turned to see the gifted men that Jared and Gina had encountered in the slums earlier were assisting the strong man who had given himself up to save his companions as they made their way towards them, it was clear from the bruises on the men's bodies they hadn't taken their lumps either but in the end it seemed as though the plan had worked.
"Congratulations on your rescue."
Jared stepped forward and gazed at the man in front of him, realizing that in his hand, he was holding a tattered rag doll.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, then turned his attention to a young man nearby.
"Uncle he went home and took care of some business ..."
Noticing his question, the man hurriedly explained. Now they had personally experienced the power of Jared and the others, to be able to turn such a solid city into such a broken ruin was something that these ordinary gifted people had never even thought about, but now, after seeing Jared do this, it seemed that something that had been hidden deep down in their hearts had begun to gradually feather its nest.
"It's true, gifted people still shouldn't live with ordinary people!"
The strong man roared in anger, and then punched the ground with a heavy blow.
But Jared's not impressed.
"You must have heard about my plan from them."
"... Yes..."
"Well? Interested?"
"Of course!"
The man waved his arms angrily, endless hatred and hate burning in his eyes.
"As long as I can make these bastards get what they deserve! Even if I have to turn into a devil, I'll do it!!!"
"Very well, then go ahead and do it, and it's up to you what you can make of it."
For this man, Jared did not say anything more, he just faintly left this sentence, then turned to leave. The people he abandoned looked at each other with some bewilderment, but gradually, this bewilderment turned into determination, the original feeling of uncertainty has now evolved into the motivation and goal of living. They stood up again, helped each other, and walked in a completely opposite direction.
(In that case, they'll do something cruel for revenge.)
Caroline commented without moving, while looking at the backs of the men disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.
"Sooner or later, you have to pay back."
Jared shook his head, the corners of his mouth quirking into an expectant smile.
"Let's see, the ambition of these guys."
