Game of the World Tree - Chapter 424
Chapter 422: Platinum Dragon King’s Proposal
Eve didn’t really believe Reinhardt’s statement that he had no idea about the Scepter of Life.
As far as Eve knew, since the Twilight Era, dragons have been declining in the Segos Universe.
It’s not that their power is no longer strong.
But as time goes by, the birth rate of this ancient race of dragons is getting lower and lower.
Not only that, there are more and more dragon eggs without dragon patterns, and only low-intelligence and mixed blood dragon beasts can be born.
In the heyday, the number of dragons was more than a million, and the high-end power almost occupied half of the entire universe.
But now, I’m afraid that the total number of purebred dragons in the entire Segos Universe is less than 10,000, and it is still decreasing.
It is for this reason that dragons will reproduce with other races and give birth to sub-dragon species.
The purpose is to hope that individuals with atavism will appear in the sub-dragon species to supplement the number of dragons.
As one of the most famous and oldest dragon gods among dragons, Reinhardt has also been working hard for the reproduction of dragons. Adopting various abandoned dragonlets is one of his actions.
The Scepter of Life has the ability to activate and purify the blood of living beings, and Eve didn’t believe that she would not be tempted.
Therefore, when Reinhardt expressed his willingness to give the fragment of the Scepter of Life to Eve, but he needed a promise, Eve more or less guessed what his purpose was…
“If I can do it.”
She smiled slightly and looked at him.
The blond elf Reinhardt turned into looked serious.
He did not directly state his request, but first talked about his experience in Florence:
“When I was visiting Florence, I once entered your temple.”
As he said that, he glanced at Eve and said apologetically:
“I’m sorry, I didn’t have your permission, and I deliberately concealed my breath. But the fact is that I’m afraid you discovered me the moment I entered the temple.”
Eve listened, but did not comment, but continued to smile.
Reinhardt didn’t care. He continued,
“I saw your holy symbol at first sight and recognized it as the legendary Scepter of Life.”
“And when I visited your temple, I also saw some half-elves undergoing the blood purification ceremony and becoming real elves.”
Reinhardt sighed softly,
“At that time, I knew that you might have completely mastered the priesthood of life and become a true goddess of life…” After speaking,
he looked at Eve, his expression became serious,
“Your Majesty Eve, I hope that after you repair the Scepter of Life, you can help the dragon clan purify their blood.”
It was indeed the case!
Eve was not surprised.
Reinhardt’s request was similar to what she guessed.
If her guess was correct, Reinhardt’s original intention of coming here this time should be to fight against the Despair Dragon Nidhogg and complete the Scepter of Life.
I’m afraid that he changed his mind after discovering that the Scepter of Life was in Eve’s hands and Eve had completely mastered the priesthood of Life.
Only the true god who controls the priesthood of Life can maximize the effect of the Scepter of Life.
The strength shown by Eve should not be underestimated.
It is well known that she sealed the seventh demon god Azazel with her own strength.
As for killing Nidhogg…
Although no one saw it, when Eve told Reinhardt, she said it in the ancient Segos language in the World Tree inheritance.
Ancient Segos is the origin of Dragon Language, Giant Language and Elven Language, and each sentence has magic.
When it comes to the name of the true god, there will naturally be a corresponding induction.
Therefore, when Eve said it, Reinhardt understood that Nidhogg really fell.
And being able to kill and seal two mythical beings in succession is enough to prove her strength.
Facing such a true god, it is normal for the platinum dragon king Reinhardt, who advocates justice and cooperation, to give up the pursuit of the ownership of the scepter of life and seek cooperation instead.
Not to mention, Reinhardt is not a real body, but a demigod incarnation, and he may not be able to fight.
If Eve made trouble, it was not impossible to keep him in the Elf Forest.
“How is it? What do you think?”
Reinhardt smiled at Eve and asked.
Eve raised her eyebrows:
“Helping the dragon clan purify their blood? This promise… seems a bit vague.”
Reinhardt listened, nodded slightly, and continued:
“Of course, there are more details. And it’s not free. Compared to a promise, I think this is more like a long-term transaction with the dragon clan, a…”
He raised his head and looked at Eve, with a slight smile on his face:
“The covenant between the true gods.”
The covenant of the true gods?
The oath of the true gods?
Eve was a little surprised.
It can be said that Reinhardt was clearly expressing goodwill.
Because, in most cases, the oath between the true gods can easily turn into a covenant.
This surprised Eve a little, because she guessed that the other party might ask her to help his relatives purify their blood.
But she didn’t expect that they were planning to cooperate for a long time, and it was more likely to conclude an alliance!
He trusted her so much?
Or did he… notice something?
For a moment, Eve became alert.
She, should not reveal her identity?
Hmm… He once mentioned an old friend. Could it be that… Reinhard also knew the former World Tree?
Eve had all kinds of guesses in her mind.
However, even if the other party expressed goodwill, she was no longer a rookie at the beginning, and she was still alert.
And Reinhard still looked at her with a smile, waiting for her answer.
After a while of flickering eyes, Eve sighed softly:
“Then, please tell me the details.”
After thinking about it, she finally decided to listen to the other party’s proposal.
In any case, the other party was extending an olive branch.
As long as she ensured that her identity was not exposed, it seemed that it would be good to make friends with the dragon clan.
Although the dragon clan has declined, there are still some strong ones.
After hearing what Eve said, Reinhardt’s smile became even gentler, and he replied:
“First, I will give you the fragment of the Scepter of Life, and from now on, every month, the dragon clan will send five dragon beasts or sub-dragons, or bring five dragon eggs that have lost their dragon patterns, and ask you to purify their blood.”
Five per month?
It’s not a big expense…
Eve nodded.
Reinhardt paused and continued:
“As for the reward…”
“In addition to the fragment of the Scepter of Life, I am willing to let these purified dragons choose freely, giving your Chosen Ones a chance to sign a partnership contract with the dragon clan.”
“And I will not interfere with their beliefs, I just hope they can grow into real dragons.”
Partnership contract?
Eve was slightly stunned.
This time… she was really surprised.
