A year ago, Olivia would have definitely panicked, but after her experience in the Imperial Council Hall, she has given up on many unrealistic illusions and has become much more pragmatic.
She heard the hidden meaning in Cassius's words just now - the red dragon didn't really want to declare war with Myhrvold, but was trying to get down.
Cassius said that the prerequisite is "if Jenny Hiss' behavior represents Myhrvold's will" rather than "Jenny Hiss's behavior is Myhrvold's will".
Olivia considered it for a moment, then lowered her head and said in a deep voice:
"I'm sorry, Cassius. I apologize to you on behalf of the Myhrvold clan. The accident just now was not the will of the clan. It's just that my aunt is a bit stubborn and misunderstood you. I hope you can forgive me."
Jennysis, who was crushed under the claws, also reacted and quickly defended:
"Your Majesty Cassius, this is all my own decision. It has nothing to do with the Myhrvold clan or my father. I am willing to bear all responsibilities."
Cassius said calmly: "Janesis, my patience has its limit. This is the last chance. For the sake of Congressman Olivia, don't let me find out about similar things again.
As for taking responsibility?
Haha, if I kill you, that old guy Oszedro won't let it go, and the empire and the Melward clan will definitely go to war.
In this case, I have no choice but to impose a slight punishment. I hope you can remember this lesson and never look away again. ”
"Hiss——"
Along with the sound of flesh being burned, a mark of surging fire appeared on the silver dragon's chest.
Cassius then released his front paws, put away the majestic pressure of the ancestral dragon, turned around, and returned to his Iron Throne.
"Hoo, hoo"
Jenny Histon felt her body lighten up, she gasped for breath, and cast a grateful look at Olivia.
Along with the tiny magical light, the silver dragon returned to the appearance of a noble woman, but her clothes were messy at this time, and there was an extra mark on her white chest.
Janesis raised her head, looked up at the high red dragon, and then lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty Cassius."
"Hmm"
She clutched her chest and let out a muffled groan. The fire around the mark was extremely hot, making her feel heartbreaking pain.
Immediately afterwards, chains made of flames wrapped around her slender neck, leaving burn marks and scars on her fair skin.
Cassius returned to the throne and said casually: "You have lost my trust, so I can only use this method to ensure smooth cooperation. As long as I want, the flames will turn your heart into coke at any time.
In addition, if you think that I am a heinous tyrant, then declaring war on the empire and playing such tricks will only make me laughable. ”
"Well..."
Janesis clutched her chest, gritted her teeth and nodded.
She listened to the other party's contemptuous words, felt the heartbreaking pain, and looked down at the mark that looked like a slave mark and the ugly marks on her neck.
She should have been ashamed.
For any silver dragon, this is a naked humiliation, with marks, scars, and chains, treating her like a pet.
But the red dragon on the throne gave her an unprecedented feeling. Not only did she not have the desire to resist, she also wanted to surrender and even worship.
It was scary, and it filled Jeannesis with visceral fear.
This is obviously an evil red dragon.
A tyrant.
It was the existence she originally hated the most. As the daughter of Silver Wings, Janexis is very likely to become the next leader of Myhrvold. She has defeated countless evil forces. How could she want to surrender to such an existence?
Bahamut, why on earth is this happening?
"Sorry, Your Majesty."
All kinds of complicated emotions were tangled together, as if there was magic, and Janesis could only repeat what she just said again.
Olivia watched from the side. For some reason, she felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, so she took the initiative to remind: "Cassius, now that this matter has passed, let's talk about various matters of cooperation between the empire and the clan. ”
"Okay."
The red dragon nodded slightly.
Janesis finally returned to normal. She took out the paperwork she had prepared and said carefully:
"In order to help Anzeta Great Wilderness resist the invasion of abyssal demons, the Myhrvold clan is willing to send three mature silver dragons and twelve adult silver dragons, and impart various knowledge on how to deal with demons.
The Burning Ember Empire needs to pay a certain fee to cooperate with the activities of the Silver Dragons, and the Empire is also obliged to assist when Myhrvold carries out operations to exorcise demons in other areas. ”
Cassius was a little surprised: "This old guy is not too stingy this time, he is a bit sincere."
Three mature silver dragons and twelve adult silver dragons, this is enough to form a considerable force even in Fiansuo.
It seems that the determination of the "Silver Wing" to resist the devil cannot be faked.
But in fact, Cassius is very confident in the empire's resistance to demons, and summoning these silver dragons is just the icing on the cake - more importantly, it is a line with the metal dragon forces in the south.
As for the second article, the Ember Empire is obliged to cooperate with Myhrvold in exorcizing demons in various areas, and Cassius has no objection.
But this is what he thought: If the Empire occupied the Fianso Continent, or even the entire world, no matter where a demonic disaster occurred, resisting the demons would be what the Empire had to do, which would mean there was no cost.
This time when Cassius mentioned "old guy" again, Janesis did not refute, but whispered:
"Your Majesty Cassius, my father has been fighting against demons for thousands of years. His determination will never change. You can rest assured..."
After what happened just now, the silver dragon known as the "Silver Scale" has become more obedient and no longer as angry as he was at Goncalo Palace.
"There seems to be no problem..."
Cassius browsed the contract casually, checked it again with the power of imperial authority, and then left his name on it.
Several sparkly words appeared on the contract.
【Casius.Claudius.Noricius】
The red dragon grinned and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a ferocious smile.
"Then it's a pleasure to work together."
Janesis pursed her lips.
Although the process was somewhat tortuous, she completed the task assigned by her father and promoted cooperation between the Empire and Myhrvold.
Now, Jenny Hess has completely lost the idea of "defeating the red dragon" in her heart. She can't even raise the slightest thought of resistance. She just wants to end it all as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, she lowered her head and said respectfully: "Happy cooperation, Your Majesty." (End of Chapter)
