#459 - Chapter 459 Redeeming the Dragon
“I’ve decided to name them Wall, Famine, Pestilence, and Death!”
After saying this, Wu Wei looked proudly at the gathered demon heroes and the two fallen angels around him.
“What do you think of these names?!”
“Amazing!”
“Not bad, they have a classic feel!”
“Impressive, as expected of our lord!”
As brainless sycophants of the Abyss Lord, the demon heroes, led by the Imp Matriarch, unhesitatingly gave Wu Wei's four names high praise.
However....
“Wall? Famine....”
Unlike the demon heroes around him, who were all sycophants.
The two fallen angels cultivated by the Abyss Sect actually had brains.
Liz scratched her head.
“I feel like these names are familiar.”
“Wait a minute, Lord.”
“You didn’t name these four little guys by directly translating the names of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from human history, did you?”
The next second after she said this, Wu Wei kicked the fallen angel Liz, who had exposed his naming scheme, back into the [Beast Ancestor's Back Garden].
However, not long after Liz was kicked out of the Abyss.
“Lord, they're hatching!”
Little Mara, who had been secretly licking dragon blood, immediately reminded Wu Wei after noticing that the dragon eggs' shells were cracking.
Because of her reminder, Wu Wei hurriedly turned his head to look at the dragon Ovi's incubation pouch.
Sure enough, the time was not far off from what the Bloodline Contamination Chamber had predicted.
At this time, cracks had appeared on the shells of the four dragon eggs.
The hatchling dragons that Wu Wei had been looking forward to for so long were finally at their most crucial moment.
“Wuu wuu....”
With a whimper from one of the hatchlings, the first one, which Wu Wei had named Wall, crawled out of its broken shell.
As soon as this cute little hatchling saw Wu Wei, it immediately whimpered.
It whimpered, wanting to get closer to Wu Wei, wanting him to pick it up.
It was obvious that although it didn't have any extraordinary abilities at this time, it was still instinctively choosing the one that looked to be the highest in status from the surrounding beings.
Then came the second, the third, and the fourth.....
In less than two minutes, the remaining three hatchlings had also hatched.
Under the lead of their brother, Wall, the three later-hatched hatchlings also chose to approach Wu Wei.
In the end, Wu Wei picked up the four little hatchlings with a doting look, smiling from ear to ear.
“Hehe....”
Looking at the four little hatchlings, Wu Wei's eyes were full of fervor.
“Once these four little cuties have all grown up, they will definitely shine in my future wars!”
“Moreover....”
Wu Wei pinched the wings of the hatchling named Death, saying excitedly.
“With them, I will have absolute control of the sky!”
Wu Wei was right, dragons are indeed natural aerial overlords.
He had keenly noticed this during the previous entrance examination for the War College.
At that time, although the War College Allied Forces only had the dragon Ovi, they were still able to firmly control the entire sky.
No matter how Wu Wei and the other lords used their air power, they were still unable to confront the dragon Ovi head-on.
Therefore, after Wu Wei captured the dragon Ovi, he was so eager to have his own dragons!
However, just as Wu Wei was still immersed in the idea of how to use his dragons, the dragon Ovi said weakly to Wu Wei.
“Um...”
“Lord, according to our agreement, shouldn't you let me go?”
At this time, the dragon Ovi, due to using his own flesh and blood to hatch these four dragon eggs, was in terrible condition.
He couldn't even fly, let alone move, and needed the help of the giant spirit demons serving him.
It could be said that this poor dragon had suffered the greatest torment in his life from Wu Wei.
Hearing the dragon Ovi say this, Wu Wei was very straightforward.
“Okay, no problem!”
“After a while, I will contact your master, Lord Xue Qingtian, and have her pay the ransom to take you back.”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, hope appeared in the dragon Ovi's eyes.
“Then... I'll wait!”
“No, wait!”
Suddenly, the dragon Ovi could be said to have jumped up in shock from his deathbed, doing a carp jump and shaking off his previous weakness and頹勢.
He tilted his head and said to Wu Wei.
“You can't let me go back yet!”
“Because you haven't restored my Little Ovi!”
“Uh....”
Wu Wei scratched his head.
“Is it really necessary to restore that?”
After saying this, Wu Wei shrugged his shoulders, pointing to the little hatchlings around him.
“Don't you think that the function of my incubation pouch is much more powerful than your Little Ovi?”
Hearing Wu Wei's shamelessness, the dragon Ovi couldn't hold back.
“Damn it!”
“What powerful function!”
“You're just forcibly changing my function, okay!”
“There's no need to say more nonsense!”
“If you don't change it back for me today, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself in your territory!”
“That way, you can forget about getting my ransom back!”
After saying this, the dragon Ovi grabbed the Abyss Throne tightly, refusing to let go no matter what......
Wu Wei, who was originally just teasing him, couldn't hold back any longer, helplessly settled the four hatchlings, Wall, Death, and the others, and then took the dragon to the Bloodline Contamination Chamber again.
Yes.
Once again.
————————————
Several hours later, in a neutral trading zone of a certain human empire.
“Damn it, why hasn't Wu Wei arrived yet?”
“Is he trying to play me and not return the dragon Ovi to me?”
Xue Qingtian, who was also a student of the War College, pondered to herself as she paced near the teleportation field.
The reason why she thought this way, that Wu Wei might not return the dragon Ovi to her, was not because she was petty or anything, but because in recent times, due to a mistake by the royal family, the army that had been stably subjugating the dragon nest plane every year had been wiped out, causing the value of dragons to soar throughout the human empire, regardless of whether the dragons were dead or alive, their prices could be said to have skyrocketed.
Therefore, under these circumstances, Xue Qingtian thought that it was reasonable for Wu Wei to keep the dragon Ovi.
But her thoughts were superfluous.
Because not long after she thought this, a very familiar voice entered her ears.
“Hey yo, isn't that our Little Xue?”
“What, are you getting impatient?”
As the Abyss Teleportation Gate landed, the dragon Ovi poked his head out of the Abyss Teleportation Gate, and immediately saw his “master” whom he had been “dreaming of”!
“Ovi!”
After hearing the dragon Ovi's voice, Xue Qingtian couldn't control her longing any longer, and directly pounced over, hugging the dragon Ovi's neck.
Somewhat different from what people usually think.
As one of the few forces in the human empire that can raise dragons.
Xue Qingtian and her predecessors would not completely treat the dragon Ovi as their vassal.
Because in their opinion, the dragon Ovi, who had lived for hundreds of years, was more like their elder, their friend, and even their family.
Although they would usually quarrel, the problem was that the bond between them was real.
“Why are you so thin?”
“Did that human lord named Wu Wei not give you food to eat?”
“I knew that poor lord didn't have the financial resources to raise you!”
Xue Qingtian asked.
“Cough cough!”
Suddenly, a cold male voice rang out beside her.
“Ms. Xue, I need to state one thing!”
Looking at Xue Qingtian, who was in a state of excitement, Wu Wei rarely showed a smile.
“First of all, I am indeed a poor lord, but the problem is, I did provide the dragon Ovi with enough food!”
“He is so thin because of some special reasons.”
“If you don't believe me, you can ask the dragon Ovi himself!”
Hearing Wu Wei's defense, Xue Qingtian looked at Ovi, trying to find the answer.
“Um.”
“Lord Wu Wei (changed the address) did give me enough food, although these foods tasted like a mixture of dog shit and sewage.....”
After feeling Wu Wei's murderous aura, the dragon Ovi immediately changed his words.
“Cough cough, although these foods were not so exquisite, they were indeed sufficient in quantity!”
“Phew... that's good!”
Hearing the dragon Ovi say this, Xue Qingtian also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Um, Mr. Wu Wei.”
“Now that you have returned the dragon Ovi, then we can fulfill the redemption agreement, right!”
“Don't worry!”
“Because before that, I need you to sign this contract first, otherwise, I will not be able to make the dragon Ovi keep it a secret.”
Wu Wei shook his head and handed a contract purchased from the auction house to Xue Qingtian.
Xue Qingtian took the contract and immediately understood.
What Wu Wei gave her was a confidentiality agreement.
Since the dragon Ovi had stayed in Wu Wei's territory for a long time, and also knew some of his secrets as a lord (newly hatched dragons, the structure of the Abyss, and the organizational structure of Wu Wei's territory, etc.), Xue Qingtian, as the dragon Ovi's owner, needed to sign such a confidentiality agreement on his behalf.
Not only dragons, but also many warring lords would sign such agreements when redeeming members of their families.
In order to keep secrets!
Therefore, without too much thought, Xue Qingtian signed the agreement and handed it back to Wu Wei.
Wu Wei also nodded after seeing the contract take effect.
“Okay, now that this contract has been signed, then we can also sign the redemption agreement.”
After saying this, Wu Wei handed the second agreement to Xue Qingtian.
However, this time was different from the last time.
This time, Xue Qingtian exclaimed after only reading the agreement for a short time?
“Are you crazy?”
“Why is the redemption price of the dragon Ovi so much higher?”
“And....”
Xue Qingtian raised her head, looking at the dragon Ovi in disbelief.
“What the hell is this so-called... Little Ovi recovery fee!”
