Game of the World Tree - Chapter 316

Chapter 314: Hunting the Black Dragon

“Hehe, first the elves deposited in the underground chamber of commerce were deceived, and then for some reason the existence of the church was exposed to the Eternal Lord, and even attracted His attention directly…”

“I still don’t understand what happened that night to make that person so angry…”

“But there is one thing I understand, this is probably a conspiracy against me.”

The old voice continued to echo in the secret room.

“A conspiracy against you?”

Border Earl frowned.

“That’s right.”

“The will of the Eternal Lord descended, and then my underground arrangements were destroyed by other beings, the Scepter of Life was stolen, and then… the news of the black dragon spread in Maple Leaf City. All this happened too coincidentally.”

The old voice said, sighing:

“If you think about it carefully, you will find that all these things revolve around one thing, that is, my desire for a body…”

“The other party… is targeting me. This time, the news of the black dragon is probably to lure me out.”

“My plan to reshape my body has been destroyed. Now… the best way is to find a new body.”

“And not long after, the news that there is a black dragon nearby spread in Maple Leaf Territory. Isn’t this a trap, or what?”

After hearing the answer of the old voice, the expression of the Border Earl also became serious.

The mirror in the secret room was still flashing, and the old voice was still echoing:

“It’s just… I don’t understand how the other party found out about my underground arrangements. Could it be… a traitor in the church? But all the members who entered the church were parasitized by my children. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any problems. Unless…”

“Unless what?”

Border Earl asked.

“Unless… a demigod-level being takes action personally, taking advantage of the chaos to obscure my perception.”

The old voice said.

“Demigod…!”

Hearing this, Border Earl’s pupils shrank slightly.

“Hehe, don’t make a fuss. The Segos plane has been closed for a thousand years, and it has also been recuperating for a thousand years. According to Rigdal’s prediction a thousand years ago, it is time for the magic power to recover. It is estimated that at most in a dozen years, the plane channel will be reopened. By then… not to mention demigods, real gods may walk on the earth.”

The old voice laughed.

After hearing this, the Border Earl’s eyes flickered slightly:

“Is this also the real reason why strange phenomena have occurred in various parts of the empire in the past six months, as well as the news of the revival of the evil god?”

“Of course, with the recovery of magic power, the world will also become lively. If we don’t take advantage of these ten years to restore our strength, then when the plane channel is completely opened and the true gods walk the earth, everything will be out of our control.”

As he spoke, the old voice was filled with a hint of sarcasm:

“The gods in heaven… don’t want to see that there are still mythological beings beyond their control in the world of Segos. After all, no one wants to be the second Yggdrasil!”

And after speaking, the voice changed the subject and said meaningfully:

“Of course, this is also an opportunity for you… “

After hearing these words, the Border Earl’s eyes flickered slightly.

He pondered for a moment, then asked:

“Then… do you know who is targeting you behind the scenes?”

The old voice was silent for a moment, then chuckled:

“I have some guesses.”

“The only one who can summon the elves who are suspected to be undead and are very interested in the Scepter of Life, plus the familiar breath of death, is the one from the underworld.”

“It’s just… I don’t understand, since He has already seized the Scepter of Life, He should have achieved His goal, why does He still want to attract me with the Black Dragon…”

“Or… is that rumor true?”

The voice echoing in the secret room was a little puzzled.

“Rumor?”

Border Earl’s heart was slightly moved.

But this time, the old voice did not answer.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Border Earl stopped asking and changed the subject:

“So… are you still going to deal with this black dragon?”

After a moment of silence, the shadow in the mirror sneered:

“Deal with it! Of course I will deal with it!”

“But it’s not me who will deal with it, but you who will deal with it.”

“Me?”

Border Earl was stunned.

“That’s right, killing the black dragon that attacked the territory is also the lord’s responsibility.”

“Whether you send people yourself or summon adventurers, since the other party wants to attract people over, then… we will really send people over!”

The old voice was a little teasing.

Border Lord: …

“And … who said I’m not interested in this black dragon?”

“Humph, no matter how bad my condition is, I’m still a true ancient god! Not only does the other party need to rely on the power of the Eternal Lord to weaken me, but they also have to lure me to the Dark Mountains. This shows that the other party’s strength is not much stronger than mine!”

“At least … the other party doesn’t have the confidence to defeat me head-on!”

“Besides, the other party can use anything as bait, but they shouldn’t use the black dragon…”

“It’s not certain who attracts whom and who will be the final winner.

” “You just need to do what I say, and leave the rest to me.”

“Don’t worry, when I fully recover, I will naturally fulfill our contract and help you achieve your goal.”

The old voice laughed, but it sounded a little gloomy in the dark secret room.

…

A black dragon appeared on the border of Maple Leaf Territory!

And the other party is suspected to have built a nest in the Dark Mountains at the border! Not only

that, the great Border Lord Otto has issued a commission to the entire Maple Leaf Territory, offering a reward of 300,000 pounds of gold coins to hunt this black dragon!

If the black dragon can be captured alive, the reward will be doubled to 600,000 pounds!

Not only that, if the black dragon’s lair is found, the treasure seized will also belong to the mercenary group that completes the mission!

As the news spread in Maple Leaf Territory, all the mercenaries and adventurers in Maple Leaf Territory and its surrounding areas were excited.

“300,000 pounds of gold coins! Lord of Eternity! What a huge fortune!”

“If it is captured alive, it can be doubled! And… the Earl also promised to give all the wealth of the black dragon to the mercenary group that completes the mission!”

“What’s wrong with the Earl? He is so generous!”

“It is said that he is busy with the encirclement and suppression of cultists in the territory recently, and he can’t get away for the time being, so he wants to entrust this task to others…”

“Hiss… He is really rich! He deserves to be one of the seven candidates!”

Looking at the posted notice, everyone’s eyes were red.

Three hundred thousand pounds of gold coins!

This huge sum of money is enough to buy thirty single-family villas in the most luxurious area of Maple Leaf City!

Not to mention, if the black dragon is captured alive, the profit will double!

According to reliable information, the black dragon seems to be underage, and its strength has only reached the peak of the upper silver level!

This strength is not insurmountable for some nearby mercenary groups.

As for the black dragon’s treasure… As a giant dragon clan, the black dragon is also good at making money. Even an underage black dragon may have an astonishing amount of wealth!

For a time, almost all the mercenary groups that received the news were ready to move.

The second update will be in the early morning.
