A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 430 - 332: An Undead Lord Is Required, Legion Arrival_3

The interaction between the two appears quite naturally familiar.

Before Shire was officially appointed as the Lord of Ximu Territory by Galos, the one responsible for managing this area was Green Dragon Ludwig.

After Shire took office, the two spent some time on the handover and transition.

During this period, one was a brave adventurer skilled in dealing with various races; the other, the Green Dragon among the Five-Colored Dragon, was relatively adept at communication and coordination, thus they got along well and established a certain friendship.

Green Dragon was in a very good mood.

He stepped forward, even extending his flexible and slender tail tip, quite familiarly placing it on Shire’s shoulder, and said with a smile, "Since we’re old friends, it’s rare to meet again, won’t you show some gesture?"

"For instance... give me a few shiny and lovely gemstones as a meeting gift? Or, at least invite me to the best tavern here, so that I can enjoy a feast of fine wine and good food."

"Gemstones are out of the question."

Shire smiled and patted the dragon tail resting on his shoulder, speaking lightly, "However, the best wine and the most sumptuous food in Ximu Territory will absolutely be enough. But before that, I have another small matter."

His gaze swept over the few juvenile dragons, finally fixed on Red Dragon Kahill.

"Human, what are you looking at?"

Red Dragon Kahill immediately sensed his gaze.

Though aware of the human’s powerful abilities, being stared at so brazenly made her feel a bit agitated, she snorted two sparks from her nostrils, baring her teeth in a low growl.

"Please forgive my rudeness."

Shire’s smile remained unchanged, sincerely explaining, "Just that your body is so strong and agile, the Dragon Scale’s shine flows like everlasting burning Fiery Flames, full of power, made me unable to help but admire it, and took a few more glances."

Upon hearing this unrestrained praise, Red Dragon Kahill’s impatience and anger indeed dissipated a lot, she slightly raised her head, feeling this human looked much more agreeable.

She snorted softly, saying with a hint of pride on her dragon face, "You have a good eye, you know, our Master of the Dragon Clans also has half of a Red Dragon bloodline."

After speaking, she added, "You mentioned earlier, another matter? What is it?"

Shire’s eyes were bright, calmly looking at the Red Dragon, "I hope to obtain some of your Dragon Blood."

Among the Five-Colored Dragon, Red Dragons are known for their intense desires, using fresh Red Dragon Blood as the main ingredient to brew secret wine can greatly enhance fertility, which can improve his and his Snakefolk partner’s success rate of conceiving offspring.

Kahill first froze in surprise, seemingly doubting if she had heard it wrong.

Then her massive Dragon Eyes widened instantly, from her nostrils no longer spewed sparks, but two streams of scorching smoke!

"Human, dare you covet my Dragon Blood?! Absolutely impossible!!"

To ask for her blood, this seemed to her as an enormous affront.

However, just as she was about to completely explode, Shire silently took out a small pouch from the storage tool.

When he loosened the opening, inside were five or six pigeon egg-sized, perfectly cut Magic Gemstones, internally seeming to have liquid flames flowing, shimmering with alluring red light.

These years, he has managed Ximu Territory, handling countless matters big and small, accumulating quite precious loot himself.

And according to the initial contract with Galos, the leader wouldn’t interfere or seize his personal gains.

"These gemstones are merely the down payment."

Shire said, "As long as you are willing to provide Dragon Blood, we can establish a stable trading relationship, and there will be better things to offer as thanks afterward."

Kahill’s angry roar and howl were choked back.

She originally intended to reject sternly, telling this audacious human to immediately pack up his gemstones and completely give up.

But... but...

Her gaze was glued to those beautiful gemstones, those words of rejection wouldn’t come out no matter what.

No choice, what the other party offered was simply too much.

She had no reason to refuse.

As for forcefully seizing these gemstones, not to mention the leader’s reaction, she weighed the disparity in strength between the two sides, quickly abandoned this impractical idea.

"Actually... my Dragon Blood is also quite good."

Beside her, Green Dragon Ludwig flicked his tail, leaning over trying to get a share, "Give those gemstones to me, I can bleed for you now, in large quantity and sufficiently."

Shire smiled, politely yet firmly declining.

"Thank you for your kindness, Ludwig, but sorry, I need Red Dragon Blood."

Red Dragon Kahill watched Green Dragon eating a loss, proudly huffed twice, her thick tail unconsciously swinging slightly, kicking up some dust.

"Humph, human, you indeed have a good eye, knowing that we Red Dragons are the mightiest among the Five-Colored Dragon, and our Dragon Blood is the best."

She tried to make her voice still sound aloof, but her tone softened: "Moreover, you did indeed show enough sincerity."

"In that case, in consideration of the gemstones, I will exceptionally agree to your earlier request."

A mutually needed transaction was thus reached.

Whether it was the Red Dragon who obtained the coveted gemstones, or the human about to gain precious Dragon Blood, both felt highly satisfied inside.

Shire handed over the gemstone-filled pouch, casually asking as if in small talk, "Speaking of which, I remember there should be a juvenile Black Dragon in the tribe, why didn’t she come with you this time?"

Green Dragon looked enviously at Kahill who received the gemstones, and said, "You’re talking about Seraphina, aren’t you?"

"Just as we entered the territory of the Sel Wilderness, she received a direct order from the leader, thus went off alone to meet the leader."
