“Krom, there are some questions I need you to answer.”
Otto looked at the respectful Dragonborn beastman in front of him and soon asked, “Do you know the name of the new Lait King?”
Krom was startled at first, but quickly answered, “This is no secret. The full name of the new Lait King is Walton Lait.”
What puzzled the powerful Dragonborn was that the great Silver Dragon Lord had summoned him just to ask such a simple question.
With this confusion, Krom left the council chamber, while Otto’s face darkened and his mood became complicated.
Combining Sofia and Moray’s research with his own past memories, Otto had come up with a bold speculation.
The new Lait King may be controlling a considerable number of different types of True Dragons.
At the very least, Blue, White, and Red Dragons must be there, otherwise, where did those strange little pills come from?
Starting from his birth into this world, it had only been four years.
Even if this year was included, most of the True Dragons were still in their infancy stage, with little to no combat power.
Waiting for them to reach adulthood would take more than a hundred years, by which time the new Lait King would probably have long died of old age.
Thinking about it, this might be the reason why the other party developed such pills.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the new Lait King has mastered a method to quickly breed giant dragons.
After all, in this world, many things do not follow common sense.
Just look at Otto!
Who would be willing to believe that this nearly 16-meter-long giant dragon is not even five years old this year?
But if the new Lait King really had control of several True Dragons…
A glint flashed in Otto’s eyes as True Dragons were the best tonic for him.
At first, Otto thought of staying out of the fray, watching the human countries fight each other from the sidelines, but now it seems that at a critical moment, it might be necessary for him to step in.
Not for anything else, just for the potential True Dragon snacks that might exist.
“If only I could plant some spies in the Lait Kingdom…”
Although Otto had this intention, actually executing it would be difficult.
All the members of the Soaring Dragon Legion were strange monsters, who could be handy for reconnaissance in the surrounding areas, but if they really infiltrated the Lait territory, they might be discovered immediately.
Even human-like races are mostly treated as slaves in the land of Lait.
Don’t be fooled by the generally unimpressive lives of the Lait people. They have always looked down on humans from other countries, not to mention the various humanoid races of non-humans.
“Perhaps we need to purchase some human slaves through the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, preferably native Lait people, and then engrave Blood
Covenants on them…”
Just as Otto thought this, Sofia contacted him through the Communication Scale.
At the request of the half-elf girl, Otto arrived at a clearing on the edge of the Land of the Soaring Dragon.
It looked quite lively here; in addition to Sofia and Moray, the Goblin who could always cause explosions and many top monsters of the Soaring Dragon Legion were present.
In the center of the field, however, stood a Torsion Ballista sent by the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.
But it seemed to have undergone some special modifications, and it looked somewhat different from the one Otto remembered.
At this point, garrulous Moray introduced, “Honorable Silver Dragon Lord, you finally arrived. See? This is the newly-transformed Torsion Ballista after the Blackstone Magic Laboratory’s renovation, and the power is amazing! ”
Blackstone Magic Laboratory? Otto looked around puzzledly, as it seemed that the large-headed Goblin had been fully accepted by Sofia and Moray.
Moray spoke without any respect in his tone, but Otto didn’t bother to mind it and just asked, “What have you done?”
This Torsion Ballista was the only one in the Soaring Dragon Legion at the moment. If something went wrong with it, Otto wasn’t sure if the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce would send him another one.
“You will know soon!”
Moray had a mysterious look on his face. Then, several Goblins began to quickly load the Torsion Ballista with thick arrows.
At the same time, Otto noticed that the arrows they were loading were different.
The original metal arrowhead had been replaced with a transparent Magic Crystal, which seemed to be filled with some strange liquid.
Following Moray’s order, a loud bang accompanied the launch of the thick arrow, which shot directly into the depths of the forest in the distance.
Soon, Otto could hear a huge explosion and looked in the direction of the sound towards the point where the arrow had landed.
The Magic Crystal tied to the arrowhead seemed to be some kind of explosive. several nuge trees were cnrect1Y Diown apart, snowmg Impressive power.
Although the power might be inferior to that of a breath weapon, the long range made up for it. If it had a certain scale, it would be almost no different from a cannon.
“How about that?”
Moray’s voice sounded somewhat smug.
But Otto struck back, “Wait until you can solve the reloading speed of this thing before singing your praises to me.”
As Otto said, the improved Torsion Ballista did have significantly greater power, but the fatal flaw remained.
The speed of reloading arrows after each shot was too slow. With that time, enemies who had survived the first round would have long rushed to their faces.
Moray chose to remain silent for the time being, but Otto persisted, “What about my Magic Puppet?”
Upon hearing this, the Soul Eater Wand containing Moray shook violently, apparently unprepared.
Otto sneered, “Now that the Land of the Soaring Dragon is not lacking in humanoid slaves with a certain magical talent, if you don’t show any results soon, I may really have to carve you up!”
Moray looked for help from Sofia, but the half-elf girl’s expression was icy cold.
He knew that if it came to that, Sofia would be more than happy to personally send him into Otto’s mouth.
Sometimes, you have to push a bastard like Moray to see how efficiently he can work.
The next morning, two exquisitely made Magic Puppets were presented to Otto.
This allowed Otto, whose recent life had been plain and boring, to finally have something to do.
“Don’t forget, you still have to train some decent Magic Apprentices for me!”
Just as Moray was about to leave, he was taken aback by Otto’s words and then shouted angrily, “Wait until you’re able to fully control these two Magic Puppets before you talk about that, my time is precious!”
As for Moray’s complaints, Otto nonchalantly focused his attention on the two
Magic Puppets..
