Chapter 28 Bloodstained Angel Feathers
Chapter 28 Bloodstained Angel Feathers
The Lord of Thunder merely had a thought, and the sky above his head turned bluish-purple.
Occasionally, a bluish-purple lightning bolt would flash by.
The headless knight dared not gamble, nor did he dare to use "Eternal Ember Ghost Realm" to intimidate the Thunder Lord before him. He feared that if he uttered "Eternal Ember Ghost Realm," the Thunder Lord would deliver a thunderous blow to them.
Mentioning his background might actually make the "Lord of Thunder" think he's threatening him.
As the leader of the caravan, he dealt with all sorts of undead creatures and knew when to mention his background to maximize profits, and when to mention it to bring disaster to the caravan.
It is obvious that bringing up the background in the current situation will bring disaster to the caravan.
The dragon before me, a creature of flesh and blood, was both domineering and serene.
The dragon's purplish-blue vertical pupils remained completely unmoved as it faced the caravan's cargo.
It was very calm, so calm that there wasn't a single ripple.
This is not normal.
Dragons are inherently greedy.
When the undead skeletal dragons throughout Hell saw his caravan's goods, their greed, fueled by an undisguised lust without knowing the value of the goods, was impossible to conceal.
Under normal circumstances, a living, breathing dragon should be more greedy and violent than a skeletal undead dragon.
But he saw no greed in the dragon's vertical pupils.
Even when he told the dragon to choose any three items, the dragon remained unmoved.
The vertical pupils showed no change.
That's what made him uneasy.
The dragon, revered as the "Lord of Thunder" by the undead lords of the Crimson Wasteland, truly dared to disregard their background and kill them all.
The reason was simply that they had trespassed into the dragon's territory without his permission.
This behavior... is indeed far too rude, far too arrogant and domineering for a dragon...
However arrogant and domineering they may be, they are not as domineering as the dragon Diding.
The dragon Diding immediately said, "Give me a reason not to kill you."
"Lord of Thunder, please give us a chance to repent."
The headless horseman once again humbled himself and begged Diding to spare them.
The dragon Diding stared at the headless knight for a while, then his gaze fell on Sophia. "Kid, do you like that Nightmare Beast? If you do... it's yours now."
"?"
Sophia pointed to herself, implying that she had taken the Headless Horseman's Nightmare Beast?
She doesn't have the guts...
However, the dragon Diding said that... he must have wanted to teach the headless knight a lesson.
She said that if she didn't like it, it might upset the dragon, Destin.
"You...you like it, right?"
Diding's gaze fell on the headless knight. He didn't speak, but just stared at the headless knight expressionlessly.
The headless knight's face, formed from black mist, showed a look of astonishment.
He never expected that the "Lord of Thunder" would take a liking to his partner.
"Lord of Thunder, the Nightmare Beast has been my companion for a long time. Could you... perhaps use something else..."
The headless knight couldn't continue. He realized that the Lord of Thunder didn't care about the Nightmare Beast. If he didn't give it to him... then the Lord of Thunder would probably make him and the Nightmare Beast disappear together.
"Understood, Lord of Thunder, please wait a moment."
The headless knight walked up to the Nightmare Beast, patted its head, and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to travel the rest of the journey by myself. You stay here."
"I'm sorry, this situation happened because of me. I've dragged you into this. You stay here and wait until next time I come to see if I can redeem you from the 'Lord of Thunder' with other goods."
The Nightmare Beast understood the Headless Horseman's words and nuzzled its head against the horseman's body.
The headless knight touched the Nightmare Beast's head again, then turned and looked up at Distin. "The Nightmare Beast now belongs to you, Lord Thunder. I hope that when I come to the Lord Thunder's territory next time, the goods I bring can be exchanged for the Nightmare Beast."
Diding remained silent.
The headless knight gently patted the Nightmare Beast's back, and the Nightmare Beast walked towards the spot where Sophia was sitting, looking back every few steps.
It understood its current situation. When it entered the dragon's territory, it was arrogant and thought that the dragon would lower its posture and take the initiative to contact them, just like the other lord-level undead creatures in the Crimson Wasteland.
Unexpectedly, the dragon completely ignored them, and even the "Eternal Ember Ghost Realm" could not subdue it.
"Who informed you of my whereabouts and the location of my territory?"
Diding asked the headless horseman.
"It is the Crimson Lord."
Without hesitation, the headless knight sold the "Crimson Lord" of the Crimson Wasteland.
He dared not put on airs any longer; the Lord of Thunder didn't care at all about the background of his caravan.
Crimson Lord...
"What goods did it exchange for my information and territory location from you?"
"A blood-stained angel feather."
"?!"
Angel feathers? !
Sophia, standing beside the dragon Diding, showed surprise in her red eyes.
Angels are mythical beings, holy, powerful, and inviolable!
Why would such powerful and sacred beings appear in hell?
Bloodstained angel feathers...
It must be the devil!
Only a powerful and evil demon can harm the legendary angel.
"Your caravan has come to my territory. Do you want to trade with me, or do you want me to become your commodity?"
"A trade! Naturally, I want to make a trade with the Lord of Thunder to see if either of us needs anything."
The headless knight raised his hand to touch his forehead, intending to wipe away the cold sweat, but instead touched a handful of black mist.
Startled by the words of the "Lord of Thunder," he forgot that he was headless.
The main reason was that their caravan had indeed had such an idea before coming to the territory of the dragon Didin.
A dragon with flesh and blood is an absolute top-tier commodity in Hell, something that is "extremely rare and hard to come by"!
Not just their caravan, but any caravan traveling through hell would have the same thought upon receiving such news.
He was misled by the "Crimson Lord".
According to the Crimson Lord, the dragon Diding was just an ordinary lord-level dragon with average strength.
He dared to lead his caravan into the territory of the dragon Distin openly, unless he was misled by the Crimson Lord and misjudged the strength of the dragon Distin.
Another point is that their caravans are used to being powerful and don't take lord-level beings seriously at all.
His greed, coupled with his desire to possess the dragon Destin, led him to make an unwise move.
"Show me your products."
"Alright, Lord of Thunder, please follow me."
The headless knight walked up to the demonic insect with the ghastly face that was displaying the caravan's goods and introduced them to Diding.
"These are some of the more common mimics. They can be used to store items and also to guard your home. The 'dungeons' that humans talk about really like these mimics."
