Chapter 27 Give me one reason not to kill you
Chapter 27 Give me one reason not to kill you
A headless knight, his body billowing black smoke, appeared in the territory of the dragon Diding, riding a one-horned nightmare beast.
Behind the headless horseman was a group of werewolves that walked upright.
The werewolf monster wore armor that emitted a ghostly green light, and its arms were covered in hair, thicker than a human's thigh.
Behind the werewolf monster was a ferocious-looking giant beast pulling a truck that emitted a ghostly blue light.
The truck was loaded with many oddly shaped boxes.
Caravan!
Sophia thought of the caravan that the Lich Brian had mentioned.
That hellish caravan that roamed the Crimson Wasteland found the territory of the dragon Didin so quickly?
Sophia walked up to Distin and patted his dragon leg. "Headless...headless knight, Lord Distin, a headless knight has led a caravan into our territory."
Diding, who was squatting on the ground, stood up, turned around, and faced the headless knight who had entered his territory.
"Kid, do you think this caravan is here to trade with me, or to turn me into their commodity?"
"?"
What does that mean?
Could it be that this caravan intends to capture the dragon Destin and make him their commodity?
Are the Hell Caravans really that terrifying and domineering?
"They...they must be here to make a deal with you, right?"
"If you are strong, they will come to trade with you. If you are weak, they will make you their commodity."
"Huh? Are they really that bad?"
"..."
Diding glanced at Sophia. This brat was too naive. Most of the caravans that dared to travel through various regions of Hell were not good people.
If they were good stuff, they wouldn't have appeared in his territory so quickly.
The headless knight riding the Nightmare Beast arrived in front of Distin and stopped about a hundred meters away.
"Greetings, legendary living dragon. We are the Ash Caravan from the Eternal Embers. We came to the Crimson Wasteland and were surprised to learn that a legendary dragon with flesh and blood like you lives here. We have come here to pay our respects."
We hope our actions did not offend you.
The headless knight, seated atop the Nightmare Beast, placed his right hand on his chest and bowed respectfully to Distin.
Diding didn't reply immediately. He lowered his eyes, his cold, bluish-purple vertical pupils staring at the headless knight sitting on the back of the Nightmare Beast.
The headless knight had no head, but he could clearly feel the cold, vertical pupils of the dragon in front of him, as well as the oppressive aura emanating from the dragon.
The nightmare beast beneath him was intimidated by the aura emanating from the dragon and felt somewhat uneasy.
"A living legend..."
"Give me a reason, a reason not to kill you."
A word devoid of any emotion was slowly uttered from Distin's mouth.
Sophia, standing next to Distin, shivered. The dragon Distin had never spoken to her in such a tone before.
The headless knight riding on the back of the Nightmare Beast stiffened for a moment, then a cloud of black mist emerged from his neck and transformed into the shape of a head.
The headless knight never expected that the dragon before him would dare to say such things when he introduced himself and his caravan.
Give him a reason, a reason not to kill them...
Domineering and forceful.
This was his first impression of the giant dragon before him.
Just as the headless horseman was about to gloat over the matter, his smoky head saw the crimson sky above the giant dragon's head turn bluish-purple at some point, and a flash of lightning streaked across it...
Lord of Thunder!
This was information he received from other lords.
He had just led his caravan into the dragon's territory. When did he offend this Lord of Thunder?
Could it be that he entered the dragon's territory without permission, angering the dragon in front of him?
Correct!
That must be it!
Dragons, being flesh and blood, have a strong sense of territory. He led the caravan into the dragon's territory without prior notice, which the dragon considered an intrusion and an offense.
If this weren't hell, but the human world, his actions might have led the dragons to mistakenly believe they were dragon slayers.
The headless knight quickly realized why the dragon Diding was angry.
He dismounted, took a few steps forward, and once again placed his right hand on his chest, bowing to Distin. "It was my presumption. I should not have entered your territory without your permission, Lord of Thunder."
As a token of our apology, Lord Thunder may freely choose one item from the goods our caravan brought this time.
The headless knight adopted a very humble attitude this time. As a newcomer, he did not want to clash with this flesh-and-blood dragon so soon after arriving in the Crimson Wasteland.
"You think you can get away with this with a single item?" Distin looked at the headless knight, his face expressionless. "Have you gotten too used to being arrogant? Do you think you can just bully a lord-level undead being like this?"
"No, no, we were the ones who were rude first. Lord Thunder, please calm down and give us a chance to repent, considering it's our first offense."
One item is not enough to express our apology, so we need three items!
The Lord of Thunder may choose any three items from our caravan's goods.
Any more than that would exceed my authority.
Diding stared at the headless horseman for a while, then his gaze fell on the caravan behind him.
The werewolf monsters, clad in dark green armor, were all kneeling on one knee, not daring to look him in the eye.
Behind the werewolf team were the ghost-faced demon worms hauling goods.
This demon insect has a hideous, grotesque face, two black and red horns on its head, a flat back, two thick and powerful beast legs, and wings.
They can run in hell and fly in the sky.
The treasure chest containing the goods was placed on the flat back of the Ghost-faced Demon Worm.
There are treasure chests, and there are also cages burning with ghostly flames.
Sophia, standing beside the dragon Distin, looked at the headless knight, then looked up at the dragon Distin.
A thoughtful look appeared on her delicate face. She felt as if she had learned something from the dragon Diding's behavior just now.
I also feel like I haven't fully understood it.
Anyway, she thought the dragon Lord Diding was very powerful. When she heard the lich Brian describe this caravan before, she thought it was very powerful and strong.
Lord Dragon Diding might suffer losses if he encounters this caravan, and might be at a disadvantage when dealing with it.
However, when the powerful caravan that the Lich Brian had mentioned arrived in Lord Didin's territory, Lord Didin seized absolute dominance with just one sentence.
The headless knight, realizing he was in the wrong, even offered to let the dragon, Lord Diding, choose any three items.
Wait, just pick one at random?
The headless horseman didn't say it was free; is he playing word games?
I doubt they would dare.
Sophia looked up at the sky, which had turned bluish-purple. The headless knight dared to play word games; Lord Diding the dragon probably really dared to make this caravan disappear from the Crimson Wasteland...
The headless knight was uneasy; he was truly afraid that the "Lord of Thunder" before him would slaughter them.
Although their caravan had a backup plan, the strength of this "Lord of Thunder" before them... was somewhat beyond their capabilities...
