Chapter 233: Harper Alliance (Part )
"You mean..."
"They have already included the Burning Kingdom in the list of hostile forces and started collecting intelligence, preparing to overthrow the so-called 'dark rule'?"
In the main hall of the palace, the red dragon lay on the iron throne, exhaling hot, sulfurous air in displeasure.
"So they were sent by the Harper Alliance. Their noses are as sensitive as dogs. They are really a troublesome bunch.
Cassius glanced at Richard on the ground and grinned.
So, what price should I make you pay? My stomach is still a little empty. "
Under the threat of Long Wei and the lives of his companions, Richard had already suffered a mental breakdown. He knelt on the ground with disheveled hair, not even a trace of the high-spirited ranger who once was favored by the Supreme Fairy.
"I, I've told you everything."
His voice had already become hoarse from extreme pain.
Cassius slowly stood up and walked towards Richard step by step.
An invisible and powerful dragon might swept over him, and the half-elf could even smell the sulfur coming towards him.
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
"The price you paid is not enough to get back your poor elf lover."
"If that's all, just imagine the wonderful scene. The elf will wail in my mouth, cut and crushed by my sharp teeth."
An invisible glow emanated from his vertical pupils, which was the [Trembling of Fear] that broke through the half-elf's last mental defense.
Richard looked distracted and almost mentally collapsed, as if he had seen a scene that was too unbearable to watch.
You should know that the red dragon's preference for elves is not a rumor, but is recorded in detailed information. Even the alliance's intelligence specifically mentions this and marks it in red.
He banged his head against the hard floor again and again, and blood flowed from his forehead down his cheeks.
"Please, let her go. I am willing to pay any price, even if it means eating me."
Cassius walked back to the throne and said coldly: "You are nothing to me."
He paused deliberately.
"But I do need your help to accomplish some things. This is your only, insignificant value to me."
Richard suddenly felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and a last glimmer of hope appeared in his expression.
"So what do you need me to do then?"
He was ready for any greedy demands.
Under the threat of his companions' lives, Richard's mental defenses have been completely breached by Cassius, and he has become a puppet to be controlled by others.
Cassius said word for word: "I want you to return to the Harpers and become a double agent for the kingdom."
Richard's expression froze for a moment, but then returned to normal.
Perhaps he had expected it, or perhaps he had no room to resist, so he just answered weakly.
"It's an adult."
Cassius nodded in satisfaction and continued, "My spellcasters will provide you with communication magic equipment."
"At a fixed time every month, you need to report to us the intelligence of the Harper Alliance. If we find that the information does not match the actual situation, or you have not provided intelligence."
His words paused again.
A clear magical image appeared in the hall. A tall female elf was trapped in a cold iron cage, like a canary trapped in a birdcage.
Her eyes were closed and her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was still immersed in the overwhelming failure she had just suffered.
"You'll never see her again."
Richard stared at the beautiful face for a long time, and finally lowered his head, his lips trembling slightly: "Abil..."
"My lord, I will."
"Trust me, I will complete the task." The Tiefling guards who had been waiting for a long time tied his hands from behind, walked through the passage of the kingdom, and prepared to escort him to the wizard tower in Rumple.
He said nothing. From beginning to end, he did not struggle or resist. He just obeyed helplessly.
He turned his head and looked into the distance, as if he saw that familiar face again.
"Abil, wait for me, I will rescue you."
This kind-hearted and unruly half-elf ranger, under the threat of his sweetheart's life and the cruel oppression of the red dragon, had to become a spy for the Burning Kingdom - becoming the villain he once despised the most and serving the evil forces.
But this is the cold reality.
"Another intelligence channel."
"The Harper Alliance?"
"Tsk, those nosy guys, one day they will pay the price."
"However, that silver dragon seems to have some relationship with them."
Cassius yawned out of boredom, then connected to Trump's magic mirror.
"Did you take over that Harper's Ranger?"
"Yes, Master. Everything went smoothly. Your wisdom made him dare not resist at all. He could only become a puppet of the kingdom."
Trump's tone was a little excited, obviously he had just come out of the laboratory.
“And he has a mysterious power that comes from the legendary Supreme Fairy.
"These ancient beings living in seclusion in the Fey Wasteland possess magical powers, and their leader is at least a legendary level or even a higher level, but it is difficult for them to directly interfere with the main material plane."
"I think we might be able to steal this power."
"Oh?"
Cassius was not interested.
Most of these extremely powerful supreme fairy lords who own their own territories in the outer planes only recognize kind people, and their power is often more inclined towards natural miracles, which is not in line with themselves, and even if they get it, it will be like a waste.
So, Cassius just reminded:
"You can do some experiments, but be sure to protect his life. I don't want to see a spy sent to the Harper Alliance turn into something strange or a corpse."
"Of course, my Lord."
After being poured a bucket of cold water by Cassius, Trump immediately calmed down, and the excitement in his expression also faded a lot.
Only then did he remember that this half-elf from the Harpers still had a mission from the Red Dragon and was not a captive experiment that he could do whatever he wanted with.
"You just understand."
"My next sleep is coming soon. You should prepare the protective array as soon as possible. During my sleep, try not to cause trouble and ensure the stable development of the kingdom."
Cassius ordered.
The ripples of magma flowing on his body have become increasingly obvious - that is the manifestation of the blood seed bursting out in his body and the overflow of fire element energy.
"Yes, Master."
Trump solemnly took his leave and cut off the magic image link.
Cassius yawned again, his mouth wide open, and he casually looked at the magical image beside him that had not yet dissipated.
"Elves...
"Most of the elves of this era come from existing elven kingdoms. Perhaps we can find out about an old acquaintance."
He recalled the dangerous scene when he first entered this world. It seemed like a long time ago, but it also seemed like it happened just a moment ago.
However, he has changed drastically - he is no longer the young dragon roaming around, but a being that makes the entire North tremble in fear.
