Chapter V Ambassadors
As soon as the sun disappeared on the horizon with the last bit of afterglow, the people of Meili City suddenly heard the sound of deafening horns, which came from the direction of the Night Temple where the night elves lived.
The loud trumpet sounded higher and higher. Not only the black dragons in the Dragon Plate were flying up and down the sky, but other dragon beasts that had been tamed into mounts began to stir up, looking very restless.
People took to the streets one after another, wondering why this panic-making horn arose.
The Ian and his sister were waiting in line at the gate of Merri to leave the city. As they heard the horns that were louder, Masha began to feel a little scared.
"Ian, would it be a sign of ordering to pursue us?"
"Don't think about it."
Seeing the city gate guards responsible for the inspection coming towards them, Ian quickly stopped his sister from asking questions with his eyes.
"It's so late, you two are going to leave the city?" The city guards couldn't help but look at the two people in front of them with suspicion.
Judging from their appearance, they are no different from ordinary adventurers, but they look a little panicked.
Even businessmen rarely choose to leave the city at this time. If adventurers go out at night, they will be in groups. It is really rare for them to go on the road like them.
"Just be comfortable, we... are being hunted by enemies, can that... be allowed to let go?" Ian quietly gave the soldiers a few gold coins, and tried to bribe the other party so that he could leave the city faster.
"Okay, you guys go there."
It felt that the brother and sister were indeed hunted down. The guard weighed the heavy gold coins in his hand, waved his hand, and agreed to let them pass.
Under the cold gaze of the night elves patrolmen, Ian and Masha walked out of the city gate carefully. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, two overwhelming black shadows suddenly obscured the moonlight above Meili City.
"Look, what is that?!"
Whether it was the caravan that had already left the city or the people in the city, they all commented on the two black shadows that were constantly approaching with confusing eyes.
Due to the appearance of the Dark Night High Priest, most people speculated whether this would be a flying boat full of night elves again.
However, this speculation was broken after seeing the night elf patrolman's emergency warning signal.
"Oh my God~~~~~ There are actually two black dragons again..."
After the shadow approached Merry, Ian finally understood why the night elves sent a warning signal.
It's a dragon! It's no less than the two giant dragons guarding the black dragon in Meili!!
The broad wings obscured the moon's light and cast a shadow of fear on the ground.
"Go away, Masha!"
He drew the seated horses hard, and Ian rushed to a group of caravans that began to move eastward due to panic.
"etc……"
Frightened by the black dragon hovering above his head, Mashare tightened the reins and followed Ian to join the caravan running wildly.
"What a big dragon..."
Even though the people on the street had already hid in the house, they still couldn't help but stretch their heads out and looked at the two giant dragons hovering over the city.
"It's impossible to be wrong. This power is a holy object of our tribe."
"Who is it, summoning us with the trust of the Dragon God."
These two black dragons that suddenly appeared were the two dark ancient dragons sleeping in the Luso wasteland. Moya used the power of the contract that he had just obtained from the Necromancer to successfully summon them to Remeri.
In the dragon's questioning gaze, Moya slowly rose to the night sky with a dazzling silver horn raised in his hand.
"It's me, the new contractor."
According to the method of using the Necromancer Sect, Moya poured his magic power into a dragon horn, and the ancient dragon sleeping nearby was indeed summoned.
Seeing the high priest appear, the night elf patrolmen quickly removed the poisonous arrows they had already taken and also lifted the alert. Just seeing that the two black dragons did not attack the high priest, they understood that the black dragon's purpose was not to attack Meili, but it was probably related to the sound of the horn just now.
Since I had seen Moya summon the spider monster, the night elves also believed that the black dragon was summoned by the high priest.
"As the contractor trusted by the Dragon God, what kind of help do you want from the Dragon Clan?" After confirming Moya's identity, the larger one asked Moya's purpose of summoning them.
Although the Dragon Clan Covenant has always been used to defend the city, if it is a real right to use it like Moya, even if the black dragon attacks another city, they will agree. After all, unlike other ancient dragons in the Light system, the black dragon itself belongs to the dark clan who likes to destroy and fight.
"My request is simple, I just hope that the city can get more guardians. It is too fragile. I hope it can grow into an irreplaceable earth fortress for the night elves through the peeks of the surrounding countries."
Understand the purpose of Moya summoning him, the two black dragons looked at each other.
Although their arrogant self-esteem does not allow themselves to bow to the third-order species, the constraints of the sacred objects on the dragon clan cannot be refused by them.
"According to the request of the holy possessor, Badiru/Sesa is willing to enter into a Guardian contract."
Put down your wings, and two black dragons landed in the central square.
Moya put his hand flat on the dragon's head, and through the transmission of magic, he signed a guardian contract with the black dragon. The red mark displayed on their foreheads is the "contract", indicating that he has given up his freedom and voluntarily become a guardian.
Since he had planned to tame the flying dragons in the Gilcock Mountains as a dragon cavalry, Moya had already reserved enough spaces when planning the Dragon Plateau, and the three black dragons filled the originally spacious reserved land.
After confirming that Tinglongping was his new home, the two black dragons returned to the cave where they originally lived, and there were treasures they collected. Even if they agreed to become guardians, they still had to bring the favorite collections of the dragon clan.
After personal verification, Moya always knew why the Church of Light attached so much to the "Dragon Clan Covenant". It was so easy to subdue the arrogant dragon clan. No wonder the Church of Light regarded it as one of the three major artifacts. It can be imagined how angry the Emperor would be when he knew that the lost "Dragon Clan Covenant" fell in her hands.
However, what she cares most about at the moment is not this, but Merry.
"Bilfit, should we relocate new residences for these big guys?"
From the stone tower to the square, watching the two black dragons returning to the original cave to collect the treasure, Bilfit also agreed with Moya's point of view.
Indeed, with Meili's current area, it is far from enough for other dragon beasts that will be added in the future.
Moreover, Moya had a premonition that relying solely on these three black dragons, he was far from defending against wars that could break out at any time in the future.
The increase in the number of ancient dragons is inevitable, which means that the city can no longer adapt to the changes in the situation and really needs to rest and recuperate.
"Sistar, do you remember the property stored in your space bag? Treat them as the cost of expanding Meri. Merry's expansion project must be accelerated. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the royal trial, the night elves will not continue to expand the expansion of the ground for the time being, and the nearby countries are in chaos. We must make Merry a real fortress, a city that will never fall."
Meili's current urban structure has indeed surpassed an ordinary commercial city, but it is not enough.
As the night elves expand on the surface, the human army of Yolai Yodo will point the finger of the war here.
"Bilfit, Priest Thorne, I will go to nearby countries during the time when the Parliament is held to create some chaos, so that they have no extra energy to stop harassment of Merry. You, take the opportunity to step up the expansion. I hope that the Death Leader can be delayed in the north for a longer time, so that the Church of Light will not cast its main force on the Eastern Continent." Moya, who had made up his mind, suddenly changed his mind and decided to sneak into countries that might pose a threat to Merry, and create some chaos for them.
"No, you are already well-known as the high priest of the night elves. This method will not work. They will still settle the accounts on Merry and the night elves, which will intensify the already tense situation."
Bilfit was the first to disagree with Moya's decision. Thorne and Tutt also firmly opposed it.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished it yet. I'm not stupid enough to blatantly create chaos for the nearby countries. Find a smarter human, pretend to be me, and set off with the envoys. Of course, the guards will follow you together, so as not to be suspected. As long as you prove that the "High Priest of the Night" has been staying in Mingsu, even if you suspect that it was me, those human kings will have no choice. Without evidence, how can they count on Merry and the Night Elf?" Moya, who has already thought of a way out for himself, has already calculated this point; "Don't worry, as long as I show up in the few days of the Parliament in Mingsu, no one will doubt it. You're thinking too much, Bilfit."
"But……"
Bilfitt was still not very relieved. He was worried that Moya would inevitably have trouble and danger alone.
"This method is good." Compared to Bilfit's concern, Thorne and Toot agreed that doing so would not make people doubt.
"Sistar, aren't you going to persuade her? It's too dangerous."
Seeing the two abyss priests agree, Bilfit quickly turned his helping eyes to his only hope - Sistale.
"As Moya's younger brother, do you still understand her personality?" Sistale did not object. He knew that even if he objected, Moya would still follow her decision.
"Although I won't object, at least, you have to bring a few guards to protect you secretly. Otherwise, the Chief of the Sacred Shrine would not let you go alone. Don't forget that he just agreed to you leave, but did not say that he would let you go alone."
"I understand, I will select a few Abyss Knights from the nearby squad. Can you let me go with confidence? I still have to chase those two children."
Knowing that Bilfit and Sistale were both worried about their safety, Moya said she would take good care of herself. She casually ordered a few more familiar members of the Guards, and Moya was ready to go on the road.
