Chapter 204: 202 Our negotiations broke down 1
Both the Fire Forge Furnace and the Fire Forging Skill are the most precious inheritance of the Red Copper Dwarves.
After Dain and Ebik had to engrave the Blood Covenant, Otto naturally knew its importance.
But he didn’t take them away from the Black Iron Dwarves, as they would be more effective in their hands.
Although to the current Otto, Lars Lait was very strong.
But just by some words, he wanted Otto to submit easily?
That must be looking down on him!
With a squirming of flesh and blood, a ferocious dragon head grew out of both Otto’s shoulders.
Ever since devouring Tatum Hill, he could easily control the three heads simultaneously.
The three pairs of crimson dragon eyes stared dead at Lars Lait, and Otto’s tone was cold: “You say it’s a trade, but it looks more like an overbearing robbery.
Or is it, Lars Lait, that you really think that as soon as you show up, I’ll obediently submit under your feet?”
Lars Lait looked at the three heads on Otto’s shoulders with a bit of interest, then spoke calmly like a genial grandfather: “Compared to a Silver Dragon, you look more like the offspring of the Mother of Evil Dragons, Tiamat… Putting that aside, it seems you’re not very satisfied with my offer.
But since it’s a trade, there’s naturally room for bargaining.
I’m not afraid to tell you that I am determined to obtain the Fire Forge Furnace and the Fire Forging Skill. If we can resolve this peacefully, it would be a good outcome for both of us, wouldn’t it?”
At this point, Lars Lait pointed at the densely packed army of monsters and giants behind him and laughed at Otto, “What do you think of them? Not to boast, but if you don’t have those strange exploding iron balls, my minions alone would be enough to defeat you.”
He was right in saying that. The quality and quantity of Lars Lait’s minions were indeed high.
Among them were almost all kinds of giant races and powerful monsters unique to the Sky Mountains.
Races like Gnolls, which were relatively weak, had very few numbers and were either used as cannon fodder or as slaves for other powerful races.
So, was Lars Lait threatening him?
Just as Otto was thinking this, Lars Lait pointed to Kana behind him and said, “What if I say I can offer all those minions along with this Storm Giant as a bargaining chip?”
Standing behind Lars Lait, Kana bit her lip tightly, her body trembling slightly, but ultimately she did nothing.
“What do you mean?”
Otto looked at Lars Lait with some confusion, while the latter chuckled, “Very simple, as long as you hand over the Fire Forge Furnace and Fire Forging Skill to me, those minions and the Storm Giant behind me will be yours!
You will be their new master!
Think about it, this is a powerful army of fifty thousand, mostly composed of strong races like Hill Giants and Stone Giants.
With their help, you can easily invade the human territories, seizing vast amounts of fertile land and treasure.
Isn’t this more valuable than the Fire Forge Furnace, which is of little use to you?”
It sounded good, but Otto wasn’t foolish enough to believe him.
However, at his signal, Sofia, who was flying above, used her Mage Hand to take out a silver scale.
“What is this?”
Lars Lait looked at the scale in confusion.
In response, Otto smiled, “I want to see your sincerity. As for the method, it’s simple. Just stick this scale on the Storm Giant, and I won’t hesitate to believe you.”
“I see…”
Lars Lait looked back at Kana, and despite her reluctance, she eventually took the dragon scale with trembling hands, immediately feeling a pain from the depths of her soul.
She instinctively wanted to resist, but was stopped by Lars Lait’s gaze.
Despairing, Kana could only let Otto’s scale perform the Dragonborn Transformation Ritual on her.
However, because she was against it, the scale soon fell off her body and Kana’s appearance didn’t change much, indicating that the transformation was not deep.
“So, have we reached an agreement?”
Lars Lait didn’t care about his own subordinate.
It seemed that he was in a good mood now, with a faint smile on his face.
But soon, Lars Lait’s expression changed, as he grabbed Kana’s right hand, which held a sword tightly.
If Lars Lait hadn’t discovered it in time, the sword would have pierced his waist from behind…
“Why?”
Lars Lait looked surprised at Kana and quickly realized the cause.
“I see…”
Upon discovering the existence of the Blood Covenant, Lars Lait ruthlessly punched Kana, sending her flying. He then ignored the unconscious Storm Giant and turned to Otto, demanding, “I think I need an explanation!”
“Tsk…
With a look of regret, Otto took a deep breath.
Flaming Poison Breath, Strong Acid Breath, and Toxic Breath were all unleashed at once, rushing towards Lars Lait.
At the same time, Otto didn’t forget to taunt, “In short, our negotiation broke down, and that’s my explanation!”
As Otto acted, Sofia quickly waved the Soul Eater Wand in her hand, casting numerous support spells on the big clumsy dragon.
“That’s why I hate dragons, such arrogant creatures…”
Lars Lait sighed, and then clenched his intact left hand forcefully. A shield made of condensed thunder appeared in front of him.
The powerful Flame Poison and Strong Acid were blocked in front of him, while the toxic gas caused by the Toxic Breath was directly disturbed and dispersed by the wild electric arcs.
The formidable breath weapons that had troubled so many enemies had only caused a little trouble for Lars Lait.
But Otto had never hoped that his breath weapons could hurt him, as he hadn’t really reached the level of a Legend yet.
What he dared to challenge Lars Lait with was the attributes of the two legendary weapons he had devoured.
Through them, it wasn’t impossible for him to harm Lars Lait.
The previous attack was just to cover his next move.
After being buffed by Sofia’s various support spells and his own strength that was infinitely close to the legendary level, Otto’s speed was astonishingly fast.
In an instant, the Dragon Claws he had inherited, imbued with a legendary cutting effect, reached Lars Lait’s front..
