Chapter 238: 236 Lauren Dungeon_1
At this, Sofia glared at Otto in dissatisfaction, while the latter sheepishly scratched his chin with his front claws.
Once she realized that he was all talk and no action, Sofia rolled her eyes back at Otto and then slowly floated over to Black Rose using her Flight Skill.
“What? ?what are you trying to do?”
Black Rose uttered a resentful sound, but at this point, there was nothing else she could do.
Thorny vines with sharp, poisonous barbs entwined tightly around her body. These barbs punctured her clothes and the deadly poison was injected into her body.
At this moment, she felt her head becoming heavier and heavier, as though she might faint at any time.
Sofia didn’t want to communicate with her, but with an unusual smile on her face, she placed a silver scale on Black Rose’s forehead.
Immediately, she felt a strange force at work deep within her soul.
She instinctively wanted to resist, but she couldn’t muster even a bit of strength from anywhere in her body.
Sofia’s eyes seemed to contain a strange power, and with just one glance, Black Rose felt her spirit being sucked into a mysterious vortex.
At this moment, she was unable to resist in either body or mind, and could only let Sofia manipulate her until the Blood Covenant was completely inscribed on her soul.
After that, Sofia nodded to Otto, who then removed the green thorns binding Black Rose.
At the same time, Sofia also lifted the control over her mind.
Finally, Black Rose regained her freedom.
Even though she could now reach for the teleportation scroll in her pocket at any time, she remained unwilling to move.
The image of that damned Silver Dragon changed in her eyes, becoming incredibly majestic and paramount.
Despite her reluctance, she still knelt respectfully before Otto, pressing her head tightly against the black stone floor.
“Bark will teach you what to do next. Remember, when I’m not around, you must follow Bark’s orders.”
As Otto’s voice echoed in Black Rose’s head, she nodded repeatedly.
Of course, she could choose to refuse.
But at the cost of her life, with her soul shattered, leaving no trace of her existence in this world.
Black Rose was loyal to Lady Bauhinia, but now facing this desperate situation, things had changed.
“I’m sorry, Elsa? ”
With an apology to Lady Bauhinia in her heart, Black Rose followed Bark out of the Council Chamber.
She believed that many things would need to be dealt with after this.
Once everyone else had left, Sofia asked Otto, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
“Are you busy lately?”
Otto asked curiously.
Sofia chuckled, “Not too busy, but I still have a lot to learn from Felina.
In many ways, she knows quite a bit.”
“Felina?”
“Yes.”
Apart from other things, she still called her biological mother by her name.
After a moment of silence, although Otto had many questions, he didn’t say anything.
Sofia quickly left the Council Chamber, planning to learn various useful knowledge from Felina as she had said.
As for what knowledge exactly, it was still kept secret from Otto.
The little girl really has grown up
With that thought, Otto flapped his dragon wings and flew out of the Land of the Soaring Dragon.
Bark had said that there was a city-state in the Dragon Bone Wasteland that was quite difficult. Even with Gaz personally leading the attack, it couldn’t be taken for a long time.
Since he had nothing better to do in the Land of the Soaring Dragon, Otto decided to take a trip there himself and stretch his legs.
Although it was far away, for Otto’s current speed, it didn’t take much time.
On this occasion, his true form was at its peak.
Before the sky darkened, Otto arrived at his destination.
Since they couldn’t take the city-state, only a small number of the Soaring Dragon Legion’s dependents were left there.
The other monsters, led by Gaz, bypassed this tough nut to crack and focused on the other city-states instead.
The Dragon Bone Wasteland was vast, and even compared to Nolan Forest, it was much larger.
There were dozens of variously sized city-states within it.
If the leaders of the city-states were willing to submit to Otto and accept the Blood Covenant, it would be fine. But if they were determined to resist to the death, Otto wouldn’t have the energy to manage all these city-states.
So the only outcome awaiting them was destruction.
And Gaz was following Otto’s mindset in handling this.
So far, several city-states in the Dragon Bone Wasteland had fallen victim to his actions, turning into ruins.
The city-state beneath Otto at this moment had temporarily escaped destruction due to its special structure.
This was an underground city called Lauren City, located deep beneath the Dragon Bone Wasteland. Its structure was similar to the underground city left behind by Aileen.
Of course, it was much larger in scale.
It was also rumored that a legendary powerhouse resided in the city, but the authenticity of this hadn’t been confirmed.
After all, the Soaring Dragon Legion had been wreaking havoc here for quite a while. Even though Gaz had become a powerful Dragonborn Goblin, he still hadn’t taken that crucial step.
Under normal circumstances, teleportation arrays were used to move people in and out of the city. For now, the teleportation array was unilaterally shut down from inside the city.
Lacking access, this was why Gaz had been unable to deal with the city-state.
When Gaz left with the main force of the Soaring Dragon Legion, he didn’t forget to call in Burrowing Worms from Northland of Nolan Forest.
It was believed that with the help of the Burrowing Worms, a passage to the interior of Lauren City could be excavated.
But now that Otto had arrived, perhaps this step could be skipped altogether.
As Otto landed on the ground, the surrounding monsters immediately knelt before him of their own accord.
Ignoring the majority of the monsters, Otto’s gaze fell on a familiar-looking goblin.
If his memory served him right, this goblin should be one of Gaz’s confidants.
“Your Majesty!”
Upon sensing Otto’s gaze, the goblin promptly stepped forward, waiting for instructions.
“Where is Lauren City?”
All around, the surroundings looked ordinary. At a glance, there was no sign of Lauren City.
The goblin was taken aback for a moment before respectfully replying, “I apologize, Your Majesty, but we only know the general area.”
“Take me there!”
The goblin, upon receiving the command, didn’t hesitate to mount his Warg and run ahead to lead the way for Otto.
