The wind blew gently, and the green leaves of the woods were like waves, wave after wave.

The whole world is quiet.

Gray raised his head and looked quietly at the Great Elder of the Golden Dragon. He was silent.

The members of the Silver Moon Knights' hearts were already in their throats.

Time passed by bit by bit, Gray was still silent, looking at the Great Elder of the Golden Dragon.

The dragons all began to discuss quietly.

"What do you think he will answer?"

"It's nothing more than letting us choose neutrality in their war with the Black Dragon, which violates the agreement between us and the Black Dragon clan."

"He didn't have enough chips to ask us to do that, at least not now."

"The key is that he has a very bad relationship with heaven and hell, and he has no reliable allies. We all know that."

The slightest rumbling of the discussion was floating in the wind, small, but it was enough for Catherine, Vivian, and even Ecleon, Lucy to hear it clearly.

At this moment, Gray's mind was already in an uproar.

"Oh my God, I thought he would be polite for a while, but he asked the question like this?"

"This answer is particularly important, we must think about it."

"Have you ever thought about it before?"

"If we can come up with a foolproof set of arguments or exchange of interests, there is no need to come here directly. We just need to write a letter to them, right?"

"My God, so our trip is likely to fail?"

"It is definitely not possible to directly raise the conditions, we must think of a solution."

"You guys quickly think about how to answer this question! We can't beg them, right? This way of negotiation is impossible to reach an agreement!"

"Don't worry, he didn't say we had to answer now. Maybe we can think about it again."

"Wait, who are you? Ritchie?"

"Uh...yes, it's me. I'm just here to listen."

Just as the angel and the demon were anxious, the two lichs were not in their state, and the black cat had not yet come up with a negotiation argument under such a disadvantageous position, the Great Elder of Golden Dragon spoke again.

"Young Lich King, is this difficult question? Are you not even thinking clearly about what you want?"

All the noises subsided. Especially the sound in Gray's mind became quiet. Or, it was stuck.

On the contrary, Gray, who had not spoken, spoke. He said calmly: "Of course I know what I want. Please believe me, the Great Elder of the Dragon Clan. I have never been so clear about what I want."

"Then why don't you answer my question?"

"Because I'm thinking about how to fully express our intentions, and more because we value this friend of the Golden Dragon Clan."

"Is that so? Can you answer me now? What do you want us to do for you?"

"I didn't want you to help me. To be precise, I would like to invite you to walk with me and the Holy Light. I don't want you to help me."

Hearing this sentence, everyone, including the dragon present, even the members of the Silver Moon Knights, even the great elder in front of Grey, and the black cat in the armor, were all stunned.

"Hehehe." After a while, the Great Elder of Golden Dragon smiled slowly: "This statement is very interesting. It is the first time I have heard it. It is clearly because you have asked for us, but you said, are you inviting us to walk with the Holy Light? It seems that we still need to thank you. I don't know that the Lich King's words are so superb."

"No, this is not a word. It is a thoughtful and sincere invitation." Under everyone's gaze, Gray said lightly: "As I said before, 24,689 years have passed since the forces of heaven and hell came to this land. This is a long period of time. They have brought civilization to the races living on this land, but also disputes. We have had glory, war, and even ignorant and dark times. Now, everything is about to pass. I am not resistant.

Reject heaven and hell themselves, and even, I thank them. They are our teachers. What I resist is their distorted faith based on their own interests. The creatures on this land have awakened and we will pursue our own future, rather than becoming chess pieces of the game as before. As a brilliant and great race, as a member of the Celtics continent, I sincerely invite you to join our team. The faith in heaven has boundaries, and what we want to pursue will be a future without boundaries."

"So, your purpose is to be the races on the entire Celtics continent."

"Yes."

"But it does not include the Black Dragon Clan?"

"Including them, but also the people of Gustav. A bright future should not be based on slavery and deception. If someone firmly wants to use their power to distort justice, fairness, and justice, I will have to take measures to save those oppressed. This is the meaning of the existence of the Bone Light Vatican. The weak and the strong share the power to live under the same sky. And the dead will become the most determined executor of justice."

The whole world was silent, including the Great Elder of the Golden Dragon, as well as other giant dragons present, and even the voice in Grey's mind.

Ricky opened his eyes slightly, looking amazed.

Bangmai blinked desperately and muttered in a low voice: "I never knew what I did was so great, really."

This was undoubtedly an unexpected negotiation.

The wind blew gently, and the water droplets splashed in the pool drifted in the wind.

Grey quietly raised his head and looked at the Great Elder of the Golden Dragon. The sun shone on his armor and shone with light.

Everyone was watching him.

No one whispered anymore, everyone was listening quietly. Even though Gray didn't say anything, they were waiting.

"Your dream amazes me, the young Lich King." After a while, the Great Elder of the Golden Dragon spoke, "I thought I would face a carefully scrupulous negotiation of interests, just like countless negotiations I have faced in the past. Unexpectedly, I heard such a remark... In the past, we only believed in power. I even doubted the authenticity of your existence for a time. But now, I began to believe it."

"We all need dreams, respected Lord Golden Dragon. There is no end to life, and living should not be just living. There should be your and my footprints in the long river of history. Do you agree with this sentence? I always believe that Golden Dragon is a great race."

"It sounds exciting. Hahaha, but... we should also face reality. Your strength is very different from the opponent you are about to face. This is a problem we have to consider."

"Yes. If you met me six years ago, you might be even hesitant. But now, you have even begun to think about it. This is change. Times are changing, the world is changing, and everyone is changing. At a speed that has never been seen before. As long as we persevere forward, dreams will eventually become a reality."

"Give me some time, young Lich King. I must be responsible for the entire Golden Dragon clan."

When the Great Elder said this, many of the dragons present opened their eyes widened.

The voice in Gray's mind cheered even more.

"Grey, we shouldn't doubt you! You're already an excellent negotiator."

"Grey, right, really. At least I was convinced as an angel."

"Has he been convinced?"

"At least he was willing to think about it, it was an improvement. We even thought it would be a price to make them neutral, but now it seems that we have the potential to fight for them to become allies."

"I just said it as I wanted to say. In fact, I never thought of achieving it in exchange for interests." Grey replied softly.

"His Lich King, I would like to invite you to stay in Dragon Valley for a few days. On the one hand, we will improve our understanding of each other. On the other hand, we will give me time to consider it. Is it OK?"

"Honored."

When Gray turned his horse's head and left from the edge of the deep pool, the entire Golden Dragon Clan's eyes seemed to change when he looked at him. There was light on his body, so dazzling that the words about interests that had been prepared seemed so small and unbearable in front of him.

Of course, some of them have more hostile eyes.

"This opponent is stronger than we thought."

"Yes. In fact, from the moment he appears, we should realize that if a Lich is not a Lich King by power, then he must have other extraordinary things. We underestimate him."

"The Great Elder seems to be really thinking about it."

"It's just a consideration, not a decision."

"Do you think what he said is true? Maybe as long as we test him, he will reveal his true colors."

"Save it, when it comes to tests, aren't angels and demons better than us?"

"There is an angel and a demon around him. No, it should be two angels and two demons."

Yes, Ricci's guardian angel and inducing demons are also here. It's just that Delia and Salina are just hiding far away. Although this level of hiding can be described as being under the dragon's nose.

The dragons whispered.

Dragon Valley is a place without privacy. Every giant dragon can see any corner of Dragon Valley with just stretching its neck. However, Dragon Valley is also a place full of privacy. Every dragon's mind is a world. When you feel that they are just lying down and sleeping with their eyes closed, maybe they are practicing dragon language magic, writing spells, meditating, and even, they may dozens of dragons gather together for a meeting.

In contrast, Grey and his party who came to the Valley of Dragons seemed to be completely exposed to them, and every move could not escape their eyes.

...

A short day passed like this.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflects the sky into red. Birds and birds chirp back to their nests.

At the end of the journey, the dragon circling back and forth in the sky reappeared again.

Archer Norman took his tribesmen to busy themselves in the yard, preparing a new day's dinner for the Silver Moon Knights. Elkeleon and Lucy were busy sharing their "cooking experiences" with them. The greedy dwarves stood by and kept their eyes wide open.

However, the Silver Moon Knights did not see any signs of being bribed by food, and they all stayed quietly in their rooms.

Gray stood on the balcony and looked into the distance, while also looking around at the dragon's nest on the cliff in the distance. The dragon in the dragon's nest was also quietly staring at him.

The black cat lying on the bed licked his paws and asked, "How long do you think they will make us wait?"

"Maybe it's three days, maybe it's five days, who knows? When they think it through, they will tell us." Vivian was eating pastries leisurely.

Katherine crossed her hands and said softly, "We'd better do something during this time."

"What do you want to do?" asked the black cat.

"I always feel that there are not many people in Jinlong who tend to us, and maybe not. Today's negotiations should be considered successful, but if we only rely on today's negotiations, we will definitely not be able to achieve our goals. During this period, those who insist on opposing us are definitely trying hard to convince others, and others will not necessarily defend us. If we do nothing, the situation will be unfavorable to us."

Vivian interrupted and said, "But we don't even know who we should look for. Do you know the dragon here? We don't even know the name of any other dragon except those who brought us in and took care of us."

Ricky sat on the bed and listened quietly, his eyes rumbling.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Catherine hesitated and said, "Maybe, someone will come to us on his own initiative. I mean, there is a dragon."
