Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 521 Beat Them Up!



"We are not on good terms with the Elven races as you can see…is that fine with you?" The Dracos leader asked all of a sudden, all the traces of hostility wiped out of it.

When Nial heard the change in the Dracos leader's tone, he knew that the Dracos had been baited successfully.

The tension in the surroundings diminished and the following minute or two were spent with the Dracos testing a bunch of runic armaments. One of them tested the power of a Broken Runic Armament, which resulted in it breaking apart.

Nial smiled weirdly at the reaction of the Dracos as they realized what one of their brethren had just done.

"How much do you usually sell the Broken runic armaments for?" The Leader of the Dracos army asked after a while when he realized that Nial didn't answer his first question. The runic armaments given by Nial were already stored in the spatial ring and he wanted to ask only a few more questions to make sure that he could convey everything properly to his superior.

It wouldn't be that disastrous if they were to return home with new connections to someone such as Nial. By telling his superior everything that happened in the last few hours, including the 'new' invention of properly working Broken Runic Armaments, the Dracos Leader might be able to prevent getting abandoned or punished by his superior.

He couldn't be certain whether his superiors would abandon an army of 100,000 Dracos and tamed beasts, or if he would give them the Greater Forest Dragon egg. The latter was an unlikely scenario because the Greater Forest Dragon egg was more valuable than 100,000 Dracos and tamed beasts in the eyes of the higher authorities.

However, with the appearance of a variable like Nial, a blind origin human with the powers of the Late God of Darkness, and exceptional knowledge as a Runicier, things might change a little.

Nial's other powers were unknown to them for now but it was quite obvious that he could easily defeat ordinary Keltia-ranked Dracos while he was merely at the Peak of the Prometheus rank.

"Broken Runic Armaments are more valuable than ordinary Runic Armaments. You can only use them once but their power is manyfold better than other runic armaments at the same rank. Furthermore, I am currently the only one who can create them. At least, I don't know anyone else who can create Broken Runic Armaments. If you know anyone, feel free to correct me. The demand for Broken Runic Armaments is very high, which is also why they're usually between 200-500% more expensive than ordinary Runic Armaments at the same Tier!

As for the other 'issue', there is no need to be worried about that!" Nial added as he thought about an answer about the relationship between him and the Elves, and the bad terms between the Elven races and the Dracos.

"I am just a human and I want to make a business deal with the Dracos. The Elves have nothing to do with that. In fact, they can profit from our deal as well," He added while turning to the Royal Princess whose eyes were staring daggers at him, "No offense, but you used me to get your hands on the Dragon egg, so… I will play it to my advantage!"

Nial was still quite nonchalant with the Royal Princess, who could barely control her twitching eye as she heard what Nial said.

"It's not like you ever thought about what you did before you jumped into the fray…" She wanted to lash out at him but grumbled quietly.

Nial heard her, of course, but he simply ignored the Royal Princess' grumbling.

"While you leave, can I borrow your people?" Nial enquired to the Dracos Leader who did not appear pleased with the request.

However, after considering something, he nodded his head and pointed toward them.

"I won't force them to listen to you, let alone to work under you, so you will have to convince them. I will need a while before I return, either way," The Dracos Leader said, just to add an important word of caution, "but in exchange, you will make sure that the Elves won't attack my people…and the other way around as well, obviously. If necessary, you can beat up a few of my people, we're quite resilient!"

Nial nearly broke into laugher when he heard what the Dracos Leader said but he managed to keep his pokerface.

"I will do my best. You have to leave either way. Just try to get the Greater Forest Dragon egg, otherwise, you guys will have to listen to the Elves until the day you guys die."

Nial could sense that the Dracos were not satisfied with the current situation but they had to accept it nonetheless. Being able to learn something while working with Nial would help them a lot, especially when it came to the Broken Runic Armaments. It was not impossible for others to recreate them and it was only a matter of time before more of them would be produced by other races who also wanted to own such powerful weapons.

Nial was fully aware of that but he chose to ignore the truth because it didn't matter too much. While others would be at the initial stage and try to replicate what he could easily do, Nial could become better and keep improving further.

That was what he wanted to do, one way or another. Thus, while allowing the Dracos to learn from him, he would do exactly the same for them. It wouldn't be a problem to experiment a little with runic constellations as long as the Master Blacksmiths forged masterpieces that endured a little bit more pressure than the average products he received from his people.

He had a few talented blacksmiths but they didn't have any forging techniques, let alone techniques with which they could temper metal properly.

It was time for Nial to take a step forward and become rich enough to do everything he needed to do. There was no need to waste anymore time playing around!

The Dracos leader spend some time talking to his people before he spoke to the Royal Princess for a few minutes. The Royal Princess didn't seem pleased with the conversation but that was not something the Dracos Leader could be bothered about.

He left not too long after, leaving behind a bunch of Elves standing in front of more than a hundred thousand Dracos and tamed beasts, all of whom ended up feeling stranded in the middle of nowhere.

"Looks like you guys have no place to stay. How about you guys help the Halheim Shelter to expand in size before you leave? You can build a home for yourself while expanding the shelter and leave once you're done. Of course, that is if you guys want to leave later!" Nial offered all of a sudden, making the Royal Princess nearly shriek in disbelief.

"Wait…you want them to live with the origin humans in the Halheim shelter?!"

"Of course, we've already accepted a few individuals of other races. So it's nothing new."

"But you do realize that your idiotic government won't accept that, right?" The Royal Princess pressed on but Nial merely shrugged his shoulders in response.

"Who are they to stop me?"
