Chapter 260: Chapter 2 Sanjia Tribe_3

Volen had never intended to deceive the other party on this issue, and this was indeed the main reason he and Solos had come to seek help from the Caucasus this time.

"Sir, to be frank with you, our Sanjia Tribe, no, it should be said that the entire Mountain People Alliance, has encountered some minor troubles, but this problem is more serious within our Sanjia Tribe." After licking his thick lips, Volen didn’t try to hide much, "This gem mine was found by a Dwarf Professional Miner we hired, and both the quantity and quality of the mineral deposits are quite satisfactory. However, when we began mining, we encountered some trouble. Two Wicked Dragons took an interest in this mine. They settled here, drove our miners away, and stopped us from being able to mine. Although we tried everything, we still couldn’t drive them off."

After a pause, Volen seemed to ponder something, and it took him a while to continue, "Volen can sense that you, Sir, might be dissatisfied with the small number of Earth Dragon Cubs we presented to you. But Sir, this was not our intention. The Earthwalking Dragons living at the foot of Baden Gold Mountain mate only once a year, laying dragon eggs that typically range from one to two. Each female Earthwalking Dragon will guard and incubate only one of them, and the remaining egg is acquired by our tribes through special methods, hatched to obtain a young dragon, which after training becomes a mount for our Mountain people’s Earth Dragon Warriors. But, Earth Dragon eggs emit a special sheen before they are hatched, which has become prey for Wicked Dragons who like to collect various jewels and luminous objects. Over the past few years, our Sanjia Tribe has lost at least fifty dragon eggs. That is to say, our Sanjia Tribe has lost at least fifty Earth Dragon Warriors. However, in the face of the divine beasts that are the Wicked Dragons, our Mountain people warriors have a natural fear, combined with the astonishing power of the Wicked Dragons. Hence, we have come here to seek your assistance, Sir, in driving these two Wicked Dragons away from the region."

So that was it! It was only then that Komer suddenly understood. No wonder the other party was so generous with their offer; they were asking him to snatch food from the dragon’s mouth. But Wicked Dragons usually lived at sea, so how did they end up so far inland on the Continent, and two at once no less?

Sensing the doubt in Komer’s eyes, Volen quickly added an explanation, "Sir, these two Wicked Dragons seem not to have fully grown. Based on our observations, they are both still in their adolescent growth stage, uh, these two Wicked Dragons also seem to be a couple, which is why they appear together. Our gem mine is located on the eastern foothills of Baden Gold Mountain Range, close to the sea, not too far for the Wicked Dragons – that distance is nothing to them."

"Mr. Volen, you think too highly of me. Wicked Dragons are hardly something Komer would dare to contend with. Heh, it’s not like an Ogre; compared to the Wicked Dragon, an Ogre is but a baby to a grown man. Who would dare to provoke its dragon scales?" Shaking his head, Komer firmly refused the request, finding the other party’s idea somewhat fanciful. They actually intended to use such a naïve tactic to tempt him. He knew of the Wicked Dragons’ power from what Mihailovich and Rebry had told him. Wicked Dragons had roamed the Southern Nether Sea for many years, claiming the lives of countless merchant ships and caravans, and no one dared challenge them. Now, with not one but two Wicked Dragons, it became even less likely, "This isn’t even a risk; it’s pure suicide. I don’t believe anyone would dare to fight and risk being at odds with two Wicked Dragons simultaneously. I do love gems and dragon eggs, but I value my life even more."

Hearing Komer’s resolute refusal, Volen was not disheartened. It was common sense not to challenge a Wicked Dragon lightly; if Komer had agreed right away, Volen would have doubted his sincerity.

"Lord, these two Wicked Dragons are not as dangerous as you imagine. First of all, they are still juvenile Wicked Dragons, lacking many of the powers possessed by adult Wicked Dragons. Moreover, these Wicked Dragons are not natively from this place; theoretically, they should be living at sea. The reason they came here in the past few years is unknown to us, but if we can show that we pose some danger to them, chances are that as a couple deeply in love, they will not easily let their mate take risks. It is more likely they would choose to leave, and we are only asking them to do just that." The usually inarticulate Mountain man was now trying his best to demonstrate his oratory skills, which, albeit simple, could sometimes be more persuasive.

"Mr. Volen, you might be underestimating the power of the Wicked Dragons. Having lived here for a few years, as you have mentioned, they must have collected a significant number of gems and dragon eggs. Would they easily give up such a nest that they’ve found with difficulty? Moreover, if it were as simple as you say, your Mountain people could drive out these two Wicked Dragons on their own strength, without needing to come to the Caucasus for help, and without having to pay such a hefty price?" Komer was unmoved by the other party’s words, countering coldly.
