Chapter 50 It turns out I was the challenger.
"I am that dragon."
As Poisson finished speaking, Isabel blinked blankly.
"Haha... Don't joke around, how could a human turn into a dragon? Little brother, let your sister go, this is a misunderstanding..." She twisted her body, trying to break free from the ropes.
I've heard from my elders that male humans are a more terrifying species than dragons. They don't care about race or gender, and they're indiscriminate in their consumption of meat and vegetables!
Although the human cub in front of her was still young, who knew if there were any adult humans hiding nearby? Isabel didn't believe that a mere human cub could subdue these raging giants.
But the next second, the human cub, which should have been harmless and even a little cute, gradually grew larger, with fine scales appearing on its skin little by little. Two giant wings rose high as its body unfolded, blotting out the sky and inspiring awe.
"Now, do you believe it?"
A deep male voice came from the mouth of the ferocious dragon head. Isabel could see rows of white, gleaming dragon teeth, as sharp as countless small daggers.
She made a quick comparison.
The dragon in front of her could bite her head off in one bite!
……
In the empty stone house, Isabel carefully walked to the table, and under the dragon's extremely intimidating gaze, she studied it for a long time before finally settling down on the chair.
A goblin climbed up the table leg, acting like a professional waiter, and asked, "Tea, coffee, or Coca-Cola?"
"Uh... tea will do."
Isabel said awkwardly, unsure of where to put her hands, so she simply crossed them in front of her, creating a deep cleavage.
"Sorry, no."
The goblin shook his head decisively, slid down the table leg, and showed no hesitation.
"Th...thank you?" Isabel said awkwardly, then realized that the other person had already run far away, leaving her alone in the room with the dragon.
Isabel was still a little dazed. When Persson turned back into her original form in front of her, she thought she was doomed. Unexpectedly, Persson not only did not harm her, but also invited her to his territory for a chat.
When a green dragon, twenty feet long and covered in sharp teeth, extends an invitation, it's unlikely anyone would have the courage to refuse.
For the sake of her own life, Isabelle nodded decisively and followed Persson to the stone house in the very center of the territory.
However, she still did not understand Poisson's purpose.
Why did you let her go? Why didn't you just swallow her whole? And what were you planning to do with her here?
Countless questions swirled in Isabel's mind, but she had only figured out one thing—
This green dragon is different!
He was neither the cold-blooded monster his elders described, nor the cunning and cruel tyrant Ferenczek portrayed him as.
Conversely, if we ignore Poisson's terrifying appearance and analyze his behavior alone...
Isabelle even felt that he was a gentleman!
"Relax, Ms. Isabelle."
The dull sound echoed in the stone house. Isabel subconsciously straightened her body, but dared not disobey Persson's wishes, and her back involuntarily went slack.
"Tell me, what's the purpose of your visit?"
Persson spoke in a relaxed tone, as if two old friends were having a casual chat, but Isabelle dared not take it as a casual conversation. In her view, it was more like an interrogation, an interrogation that would decide her fate.
"I..." Isabel's words froze on her lips. She knew very well that she had not come here with friendly intentions, but she dared not tell the truth.
"I'm here to discuss cooperation!" she tried to appear calm, but even she couldn't believe the incoherent ramblings she was spouting. "The... the eight-eyed giant spiders are a common threat to us. If we don't join forces, those giant spiders will surely spread to every corner of the Forbidden Forest!"
"A threat?" Persson chuckled softly, and Isabel's heart skipped a beat. "To you, the eight-eyed giant spiders may be the greatest threat, but to me, they are just some troublesome little guys."
Isabel had to admit that Poisson was right.
Even if all the eight-eyed giant spiders combined, they couldn't do any damage to Poisson against a flying dragon.
"Since... since you're unwilling, then I'll take my leave." Isabel stood up decisively, using this as an excuse to leave, but her long, whip-like dragon tail suddenly blocked the doorway.
"Wait a minute, you haven't finished asking your questions yet..."
The long dragon tail, like a snake, crawled up Isabel's body, tightening little by little along the curves of her body. Isabel trembled, but dared not make a move.
"I don't understand..."
The dragon's tail coiled around Isabel's neck, and with a gentle pull at the tip, it forced her to meet those terrifying amber vertical pupils.
"Since you're here to discuss cooperation, why be so sneaky? If the goblins weren't so alert, I might not have even noticed you..."
Persson spoke casually, as if he were just asking out of curiosity, but the dragon's tail that was gradually tightening was a reminder to Isabel that lying would not end well.
"I...I just wanted to make sure you were home." Isabel tried to remain calm, but her heart was pounding like a drum.
"Is that so?" Upon hearing this blatant lie, Persson showed no anger whatsoever.
On the contrary, he seemed to truly believe it, not only loosening his dragon tail but also stepping back to make way for Isabel, indicating that she could leave.
Isabelle tentatively took a step, and seeing that Persson did not stop her, she continued walking until she reached the gate.
"What do you think of this place?"
Suddenly, Poisson's voice rang out.
"Excellent," Isabel replied without hesitation. "It's hard to imagine that this place was built by a bunch of goblins and trolls. You are definitely an outstanding leader!"
"I think so too," Persson readily admitted, but his next words sent chills down Isabel's spine:
"Therefore, if anyone dares to threaten this place, dares to destroy this territory I have painstakingly built, I will not hesitate and will spare no expense to completely destroy them!"
call--
A cold wind blew, knocking a strand of hair from the corner of Isabel's eye. A large group of giants marched past her in orderly steps, their rough stone spears deadly enough.
Several goblins patrolled along the wall, carefully inspecting every log, tapping and knocking with their little hands to ensure that the defenses were flawless.
Further away, the three giants were returning carrying their prey, which was none other than the eight-eyed giant spider that terrified the centaurs!
Without a doubt, this was a powerful and well-organized territory, far surpassing the loosely organized centaur tribes even without Persson.
Isabel turned around, and Persson was still entrenched in the stone house, seemingly unconcerned about her departure. His massive body almost filled the entire room, and the designer of the stone house had clearly underestimated his size.
The entire centaur tribe also misjudged the situation!
Recalling Ferenze's confident assertion that the green dragon he had seen was only a dozen feet long, thin and with long limbs, Isabel couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
The entire centaur tribe was utterly powerless against Persson, yet they still regarded him as a challenger.
That's so naive it's laughable!
She suddenly realized what she had to do.
She must save the centaur tribe!
"I'm sorry, Lord Persson." Isabel lowered her head, showing her submission.
"You are a great leader, so there is something I must tell you: Bain is plotting an attack on you."
"The time is tonight!"
