Moreover, these small bodies, less than a meter in length, can be divided into more than ten at a time.
Of course, controlling so many clones can be quite troublesome.
But if they simply swarm forward, the actual operation might not be that difficult.
“This is amazing!”
A smile appeared on Otto’s face as he seemed to have already imagined his future enemies being surrounded by a group of mini-ottos and then blasted into pieces.
In addition, the size of the clones can be even larger.
Theoretically, the power of the self-explosion would also increase accordingly. However, after using this ability, he would need to consume a large amount of food to replenish the energy expended.
Overall, it is a very practical new ability, which is bound to become his go-to last resort.
When Otto returned to the Land of the Soaring Dragon satisfied, the conversation between Angelina and Black Rose had also ended.
Looking at their expressions, the conversation seemed to have gone smoothly.
Black Rose took her leave first, and Angelina stayed behind.
When the surroundings quieted down, Angelina said to Otto: “Your Majesty, she wants to win me over…”
“Black Rose?”
Otto asked curiously, “What do you mean?”
“In short, she wants to form an alliance with me.’
Angelina truthfully said: “Yes, completely bypassing you. She doesn’t seem to know my true identity and treats me as an ordinary human noble.”
“Heh! Bauhinia…
Otto shook his head, smiling: “Merchants, these selfish creatures, always take risks for profit. If the price is right, they are even willing to sell the rope used to hang themselves.”
“Rest assured, I didn’t agree to her.”
“Did you explicitly refuse her?”
Angelina hesitated for a moment, then immediately knelt in front of Otto:
“Please forgive me, I…”
“You misunderstand me.”
Otto said indifferently: “I’m sure she won’t give up on you easily. If she continues to try to contact you in the future, you can agree to her.”
“Like
Angelina looked at Otto, puzzled.
“Just do that. When the time comes, I’ll tell you what to do.”
Though Angelina was more proficient in fighting and killing than these roundabout matters, she also understood that a servant should not pry too much into her master’s thoughts.
All she needed to know was that whatever Otto asked her to do, she would do, and that was enough.
Then Otto instructed, “In the near future, I will send some Burrowing Worms and Kobolds to Mido. They will dig a tunnel between Mido and the Land of the Soaring Dragon.
After this project is completed, it will be much more convenient for you to travel between Mido and the Land of the Soaring Dragon in the future.
When you go back, be more vigilant. There may be several small-scale earthquakes occurring in the Mido Region in the future. Don’t let your people mistake my pets for ordinary monsters and kill them.”
“Please rest assured, Great Silver Dragon Lord!”
Angelina respectfully agreed, and then left the Land of the Soaring Dragon with Korf.
As soon as they left, Goblin Gaz came into the Council Chamber.
“How did your task go?”Otto looked forward to working with this powerful goblin, who proved to be one of the most useful in his family after Saru.
While instructing him to call for Angelina, Otto also arranged another task for him.
The goblin respectfully knelt before Otto and said, “The current situation at the junction of Dragon Bone Wasteland and Nolan Forest has been investigated.”
Investigating the current state of the Dragon Bone Wasteland was the other task Otto gave to Gaz.
So far, the most dominant force there is still the Trade Federation, led by Black Gold City.
The federation is made up of several independent city-states, which have connections with each other.
From the beginning, Otto was distrustful of the Bauhinia Chamber of
Commerce.
Ordinary traders would not dare to do business with a giant dragon, let alone one that is affiliated with numerous evil creatures and appears more like an evil dragon.
Bauhinia is definitely more than just an ordinary chamber of commerce.
Unfortunately, Link the werewolf, who had some connection with them, knew nothing about it.
He probably was still being fooled by Lady Bauhinia, thinking the imposter Black Rose who posed as her was the real person.
Under Otto’s prompting, Gaz continued, “The current situation there seems to have little difference from when I left Black Gold City.”
The city-state closest to Nolan Forest is not Black Gold City, but Loess City, whose lord is a not-so-weak centaur.
As of now, Loess City seems to be the transit station for Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce’s trade in the Land of the Soaring Dragon.
Moreover, according to intelligence, Rita, the leader of the Swift Spear Clan, was spotted in Loess City by a lizardman named Bark.
She likely has received shelter in Loess City, and possibly even joined it.”
As for the female centaur who escaped from Gaz, Otto still had some impression of her.
This is somewhat tricky – at first, when there was no information, it would be easy to just kill this escaped fish.
But now, he felt the need to consider Konoheim’s wishes.
After all, this is the last little sibling of someone’s cherished daughter, even though he doubted Storm Titan would recognize Rita.
If you count this year, she has already been away from Nolan Forest for two hundred years.
Regarding the disposal of the escaped fish, there is no need to rush; it won’t be too late to wait after Otto probes Konoheim’s intentions.
“Outside Loess City, there are also some mixed adventurer towns with very chaotic inhabitants, including various races.
Since the new king Lait waged wars on neighboring countries, many refugees have poured in there.
Because most city-states in Dragon Bone Wasteland are unwilling to accept poor refugees, they mostly cram into those shabby and narrow adventurer towns.
This is all the current information about the junction between Dragon Bone
Wasteland and Nolan Forest.”
In addition to that, Gaz continued, “Regarding those newly joined monsters of the Soaring Dragon Legion, that is, those who once belonged to Lars Lait.
We have obtained some interesting information from them.”
“Let’s hear it…”
Otto squinted his eyes, lazily lying on the pile of treasure on the Blackstone Platform.
“It’s very likely that the injury of Storm Titan Lars Lait was done by a powerful
Demon Lord!”
“Oh, that’s quite interesting.”
Indeed, Otto became genuinely intrigued.
So, Gaz continued, “The new members of the Soaring Dragon Legion don’t know much about the specific situation, but at this point, we can confirm:
He is currently squatting in the far east of the Skyreach Mountains, that is, in the Land of Red Flames. It is highly probable that he is a Demon Lord skilled in the use of fire..
