Chapter 412: Profitable Job
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav
In creation myths, the Creator's fury would transform into thunder and his tears would manifest as torrential downpours . His delight would cause the lands to bloom with flowers, while his sadness would cause the land to freeze over . I never expected that I would prove this for real one day .
As the researchers outside shouted in surprise, the abnormal scenes gradually subsided . It was very rare of me to lose control of my emotions . However, my typical habit was that the angrier I got, the calmer I would become . After some careful thinking, I brought up a question .
"Why did the All-Ending Dragon Excelsius never tell me? I trust him; far more than I trust you . "
"Would there be any meaning if he told you? Are you capable of taking revenge? You'd probably attract even more trouble if you knew too much . If Excelsius was really thinking about what's best for you, he definitely made the correct decision in not telling you anything about this . "
As the Supreme Immemorial Dragon Sam was a bystander in this incident and didn't care either way, he spoke frankly without worrying about any consequences .
I thought about it for a little while and agreed with Sam's analysis . I now also faintly perceived the astonishing power of the true culprit behind the scenes .
First of all, that existence had managed to cut off the snow mountain's connection to the rest of Eich . Although the snow mountain was already a unique location—it was as if it was a different dimension—it was still a part of the mortal plane of Eich . I had never even heard of it being possible to cut off part of a plane and then revert it back to normal .
Even Ayer cutting off all contact to the Earth Elemental Plane wasn't something anywhere nearly this ridiculous . That was because Ayer cut off contact to an entirely independent, different plane . However, this culprit behind the scenes actually managed to temporarily cut off part of a plane and then revert it back to normal again .
"…So this existence is at a minimum equivalent to a Main God? They didn't even need to personally appear to suppress the Frigid Nightmares . "
If this type of existence was the true culprit, then they would only need to speak up to easily destroy the Mist Kingdom . Why go to all that trouble?
"I don't understand why they took such a roundabout method…"
I didn't understand it, so I decided not to think about it for the time being . I forcefully suppressed the frustrations in my heart . Now wasn't a good time to let my emotions run rampant .
"Since I've already waited more than three hundred years, waiting for a little more time isn't much . So there's still a true culprit behind the scenes… One day I'll . . . "
There was no need for me to speak fierce words, swearing revenge out loud . It was enough if I was aware of the iron will inside my scarred heart . No matter who the true culprit was, and no matter how powerful the existence, I, Roland, would definitely make them fall into Hell together with all the other culprits .
"I need more power—I don't have much time left . It looks like I need to lower my lack of limits even further…"
I took a deep breath and calmed my expression . I wouldn't allow unnecessary emotions to affect my judgement .
The most important thing right now was the negotiation with the Supreme Immemorial White Dragon before me . If I did a good job, perhaps we would gain a trustworthy ally within Dragon City .
In fact, the rest of the negotiations were simple . Since this was our first meeting, both sides only made shallow promises, attaching nothing important to our discussion . It was as if we were casually chatting and improving our relationship . Still, when that old dragon saw the Baby Dragons, his eyes lit up—it was almost as if he was a certain type of gentlemanly existence .
The Baby White Dragons currently had intelligence similar to young human children, and they were delighted to see a "little boy about their age" join them . They pulled him into playing games, climbing mountains, singing children's songs and attending class together . I had to try my very best to not laugh out loud when I saw a Supreme Immemorial White Dragon play tag with the Baby Dragons—and even be called a "slowpoke . "
When he finished playing with the Baby Dragons, he came out with a large red flower that the kindergarteners gave him along with doodles on his face . I finally couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing, while he smiled and shook his head .
"I haven't been so happy in years . This is the first time I've met intelligent Baby White Dragons that aren't bloodthirsty . Can I take one with me?"
"No—they're still half-complete products . Being able to do this much is due to the uniqueness of this world . If they leave, they'll probably revert immediately . "
"…So you're saying that it's still impossible to make ordinary White Dragons become intelligent?"
"Currently, it's impossible . But as research proceeds on these Baby White Dragons it should be possible to engineer an inheritance method that can be used in the mortal plane . It's only a matter of time . Of course, if you can bring me some Adult White Dragons as experimental subjects, the speed of my research should greatly improve . "
Sam nodded upon hearing this .
"…I'll bring you the experimental subjects you desire . I should be able to bring you at least ten Adult White Dragons by next year . As long as they don't die—no—if you can develop an inheritance method for White Dragons with no negative side effects quicker because of this, it doesn't matter if they all die . However, I want to see an absolute, complete inheritance method in the end . "
Such a generous old dragon he was . With just one comment of mine, he agreed to bring me ten or even more Adult White Dragons . Relax—even if they survived, they would all meet "accidental deaths" on paper . How could I possibly give up on such excellent combat beasts…? Of course, since he was said it didn't matter to him if they all died, he had tacitly agreed to allow me to use the Adult White Dragons however I pleased . What he really meant with his words was "I only care about the results, so you can do whatever you want . "
"…It's best if you can obtain results in half a year or less . My ninety-seventh child will be born soon…"
Alright, now I completely understood . Sam was probably considering things for his own children more than for the entire White Dragon species .
Thinking about it, Sam was indeed quite pitiful . Baby White Dragons would forever be born with the intelligence of wild beasts . This was fine for White Dragon parents that only had bestial intelligence themselves, but for an intelligent White Dragon to watch their child be nothing more than a meat-eating carnivore for the next several centuries indeed seemed rather painful . It would also be difficult to manage the Baby White Dragon . What was the parent supposed to do, lock it up in a cage like a pet?
Plus, other dragon species' children would always be intelligent from birth, while White Dragons were forever discriminated against . Not only that, the intelligent White Dragons couldn't even counter any of the discrimination . After all, the entire world treated White Dragons as no better than wild beasts, and even the intelligent White Dragons could only agree .
"…I hope this marks a good beginning to our cooperation . I shall pay an appropriate price for your services . Oh, by the way, can I occasionally stop by and play with these children?"
"Of course . "
Sam didn't mention a single word about the specifics of what he would pay me, but this was a result I was already more than satisfied with . Right after letting Sam out of Frigidwinter Earth, I made up my mind .
