641: Chapter 158: The Knife That Does Not Leak Water_1 641: Chapter 158: The Knife That Does Not Leak Water_1 “What, the Red Dragon has made a contract with Earl Hudson?”

Morrison asked incredulously.

The dragon they all went together to catch in the Ula Mountains, Hudson had merely returned half a day earlier than them.

In just that little bit of time, the Red Dragon had ended up as someone’s mount.

If he’d known this dragon could be tamed so easily, he would have contested steadfastly on behalf of the royal family.

Morrison was getting on in years, with few left that he could actually be active.

It wouldn’t be in his personal use but it’s needed by the royal family!

Crown Prince Caesar’s reputation was rather bad.

If a giant dragon could be tamed, it could restore his prestige and make up for the previous loss of reputation.

But now it’s too late, the contract has already been signed, there’s no going back.

“Yes, Mister Morrison.

After being sent back to the military camp and bound in iron chains, the Red Dragon soon woke up.

Earl Hudson personally went over to inspect the situation, and the Red Dragon took the initiative to form a contract with him.

It became his dragon, so His Excellency ordered the release of the Red Dragon to recover from its injuries.”

The statement from the aristocratic military officer was clearly a message that Hudson intentionally released to the outside world.

This was his Marshal’s Camp, without his approval as the commander in chief, the offering group would not have enough influence to let the aristocratic military officer say all he did.

Unsurprisingly, Morrison was practically choked.

The situation in the legend was really happening right before his eyes, the reality shock it brought would be too much for anyone.

Although he didn’t want to believe all this, the facts were right in front of him, not leaving any room for disbelief.

Thinking back to the story of Hudson picking up an Earth Bear halfway, he appeared to once again acquire a giant dragon.

It seemed to be a justified story.

This unstoppable luck was hard to believe unless he was blessed by the divine.

“I understand, inform that young Efiel, let him handle it!”

Morrison said tiredly.

Grandchildren have fortunes of their own, as an old-timer in the royal family, he was already more than a hundred and seventy years old.

No matter how good his maintenance was, his active days were limited.

If he kept worrying about these things, he would meet his end sooner.

Sky Knights aren’t cabbages, the royal family needs their service to maintain the kingdom’s existing strength!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a familiar voice came from behind.

“Ancestor, I already got the news.

This situation is hard to handle.

The addition of a giant dragon will indeed enhance the kingdom’s strength.

But this Red Dragon previously attacked the military camp, set fire and destroyed a large number of material warehouses.

The Union Investigation Team will surely suspect that we’re staging a show!”

Duke Aefero said dejectedly.

Improving the kingdom’s strength is a good thing, but he would rather not do it in this way.

Originally, Hudson’s reputation within the country was skyrocketing, he was completely invincible among his peers.

Supporting someone else as competitor was impossible.

The present Koslow clan is weak and can be suppressed, but what about thirty or fifty years later?

By then, Hudson will still be at his peak and most of the elderly in the kingdom will have retired.

It simply seems like he’s a chosen “powerful Prime Minister in the making”.

The worst part is this soon to be powerful Prime Minister not only has good luck.

Even though he didn’t pick up gold coins when he was out, he was able to capture magical beasts!

First, it was the Earth Bear, now it’s a giant dragon.

If he were to wander around the Magical Beast Mountain Range when he is free, who knows how much more he would gain.

The trouble with the Union Investigation Team on the other hand, is purely an excuse.

They are here to pick a fight, they would always find a way in.

Unless all the nobles in the Alpha Kingdom are willing to give up the Orc Prairie and not extend their paws over here, trouble will keep brewing.

“Alright, Efiel!

These minor problems, let yourself be bothered with them, don’t bring me into it.

After all, the dragon has been brought back, the task of the Offering Group has been completed.

As for the rest, you can figure it out on your own.”

Having said that, Morrison turned and walked away.

Today’s shock was too overwhelming, he needed to go back and calm down.

This is the downside of growing old, he couldn’t handle the shock.

Seeing all this, a bitter smile appeared on Duke Aefero’s face.

If there was an easy way out, he wouldn’t have to worry.

In dealing with a special existence like Hudson, it was a delicate balance the royal family had, both needing to make use of and limit him.

The balance was hard to maintain.

The slightest mistake could cause a major disaster.

…

Within the Marshal’s Tent, Hudson and Duke Aefero sat facing each other, leisurely drinking tea as if they were well-acquainted friends.

“Congratulations Earl Hudson, for becoming the fourth Dragon Knight on the continent!

This is a great honor for our Alpha Kingdom, His Majesty will surely be delighted.”

Hearing Duke Aefero’s words, Hudson secretly rolled his eyes.

Caesar III would be delighted, yeah right.

Originally, his rapid rise was already causing enough concern.

Now, with this new development, his danger level was bound to skyrocket.

“Haha…”

“It’s all luck!

Maybe the previous battle damaged the Red Dragon’s brain, as soon as I went to inspect, it was crying out for a contract with me.”

Without an explanation, it would’ve been okay.

Duke Aefero became even more depressed with this explanation.

If the Red Dragon’s brain was really damaged and it developed a contract-signing habit when seeing people, then the royal family has really suffered a great loss this time.

However, this was just a thought.

Although there were many strange cases in the dragon race, none had occurred where a dragon’s brain was damaged causing it to proactively sign contracts with people after seeing them.
