I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 52 Maintaining a Good Image
the next day.

Ganon stood on the west bank of the corner of the long river, looking at the elves on the other side across the river more than 20 meters wide.

Jamil, the garrison chief of the Muxia Walled City, was wearing plain leather armor and was accompanied by three guards across the bank.

According to the information inquired from Cohen in advance, Jamil is only a druid at the master level, and the three guards look like ordinary soldiers. Such a team configuration is dangerous even for Helganon, who was just an adult before.

But Ganon could feel that there was a lot of aura in the jungle behind them, and the real big army might be hiding there.

This is quite a normal insurance policy.

"Your Excellency Red Dragon...is it appropriate to call him that?" Jamil said neither humble nor overbearing.

From survivors released from the green dragon's lair, the forest guards have heard of the red dragon.

Although dubious, Jamil still tried the option of dialogue with the other party first, and the red dragon did come to the appointment.

Jamil also saw a human being next to the red dragon, as well as an acquaintance of his own - his former subordinate Ke En.

Ganon brought them to accompany him, also in order to reduce the tension of the other party meeting the red dragon.

"You may call me Ganon, Your Excellency the Ranger," Ganon replied.

"Then, Mr. Gannon." Although he felt that calling Mr. Yilong was a bit weird, Jamil continued to follow the other party's meaning, "I want to officially confirm that you really killed the green dragon on the northwest edge of Breeze Forest?"

"I killed it," Ganon admitted.

"Did she die a painful death?" Jamil asked.

"It's more painful to be killed by me while burning with fire." Ganon replied.

"Thank you very much, this is my sincere words. Personally, I really want to give you a big hug when I hear this news! That green dragon killed my mother, and also mutilated many Mu Xia citizens. To be honest, I didn't fully grasp the crusade against her, and I didn't know how many people would be sacrificed. You did me a big favor." Jamil said seriously.

"Hugs are unnecessary. If you really thank me, how about something vulgar? The forest guards don't even have a bounty for that green dragon, right?" Ganon said bluntly.

Jamil was stunned for a moment, and then took a decorative silver pendant from his waist: "It's because I didn't prepare well. I will send someone to deliver the bounty tomorrow. Let this be my personal meeting gift."

He tossed it vigorously, and Gannon looked at it from the other side. This amount of sterling silver is not expensive, but the micro-carvings on this pendant are extremely fine, and he can tell at a glance that it is definitely made by a famous craftsman, and it is a collection that dragons will like.

"Intentional." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he had a little more affection for the elf officer. "Your Excellency, the patrol officer, is only here for this matter?"

"I also heard that Mr. Ganon took away some of the Mu Xia citizens imprisoned in the green dragon's lair, so I made a special trip to confirm the responsibility. Forgive me." Jamil directly stated his purpose.

"They have a good life with me. I just use the contract technique to ask them to help me repair the lair in return. It's not a heavy job. According to the current construction schedule, they can go back in five months at the latest. I will always guarantee their treatment. If you are worried, I can ask them to come here to show you later." Ganon said and glanced at Cohen.

Cohen understood and shouted at Jamil seriously: "I am willing to testify, Chief Jamil! Everything he said is true!"

"Okay, then please let us confirm, so that we can explain to the family members. In this way, Mr. Ganon, we can increase the bounty for hunting the green dragon as a thank you gift. Can you please release the citizens of Mu Xia tomorrow?" Jamil tried to negotiate with Ganon.

"The bounty of your forest guards is one thing, and it's another thing for me to ask them for a reward, and I really need people here. Don't worry, I don't intend to enmity with you elves for no reason, and I will release you as promised." Ganon didn't let go easily.

"Then at least allow us to confirm their safety on a regular basis, or allow them to see their family members, right?" Jamil obviously expected this reply, and didn't seem very persistent, but put forward other conditions along the way.

Ganonen thought for a while and agreed: "Yes, how about having their family members come here to visit them at sunset every day, or send letters? You can also bring them some necessities."

This can also somewhat reduce the cost of maintaining labor on his side.

"It would be great if you could agree." Jamil relaxed a little. "To be honest, I didn't expect you to be so sensible at first. The dragon I know is not like this."

Ganon just smiled when he heard that.

"Cohen, I haven't seen you for a while. I heard about your case and I did an investigation. I will try my best to help you get a pardon." Jamil looked at his former subordinate.

"Sorry, sir, I don't plan to go back to Muxia, I plan to settle here with my wife!" Cohen shouted.

"...That's it, I can understand it."

Jamil still showed a bit of surprise when he said this. It is normal that Keen does not plan to return to Mu Xia. He was surprised that Keen actually chose to settle in the territory of the Red Dragon.

In the end, Jamil looked at Zhenna who appeared with the red dragon again, and asked, "Excuse me, is this the younger sister of Her Majesty the Queen of the Longji Empire?"

Her Majesty the Empress—it was obvious that Mu Xia already knew the news of Fred's ascension to the throne.

"That's right." Zhenna answered frankly.

"Actually, my subordinates are on the side of the empire and heard a little rumor..." Jamil said tactfully.

"Is it because I was brainwashed to kill my own subordinates together with Ganon? That was the rumor released by the imperial sister. She sent someone to assassinate me and wanted to blame Ganon, but we worked together to kill him." Zhenna replied with a serious face.

"Ha, that's true!" Jamil immediately believed the statement, and then a look of disdain appeared on his face, "The new queen is indeed capable of such a thing!"

Ganon suddenly paid attention to these words, and Jamil showed obvious hostility towards Fred who became the queen.

It is impossible for humans and elves to easily believe in the fantasy of being able to talk to the red dragon. The reason why Jamil would try to do this is not only the testimony of the elves who were released, but also the fact that Ganon avenged him.

But now it seems that there may be Fred's factor in it. According to the rumors of the empire, the red dragon living here has formed a relationship with the empire, and Jamil seems to have some opinions on Fred who is now in charge of the empire.

"Did Fred do anything to Mu Xia after he ascended the throne?" Ganon asked.

Jamil's face changed slightly, and he immediately realized that his attitude was a bit obvious.

"Oh, I just heard that the new empress of the Dragon's Back Empire proposed to buy a few pieces of land with minerals in Muxia. The envoy's attitude was strong... It should be said that he was a little contemptuous, and finally broke up. Our king expelled the envoy. That's what happened." Jemil clasped his hands and replied.

Gannon and Zhenna exchanged glances, realizing that this matter might not be as simple as Jamil said.

"Mr. Raganon, let us confirm the situation of the citizens." Jamil turned the topic back.

"You go." Ganon ordered Cohen to go back and bring people.

Soon, Cohen brought all the elves to the river to be confirmed by the forest guards, and Jamil briefly asked everyone.

In the end, Gannon and Jamil had a simple negotiation, and confirmed some details of personnel treatment and release time, and then Jamil said goodbye politely.

"It's okay." On the way back, Gannon was quite satisfied with the result of this conversation in his heart.

He doesn't need to be friendly with the elves in Muxia, he just needs to maintain a stable relationship that is not hostile.

Regardless of whether Jamil really believes him completely or is still wary of him, talking with Jamil can at least convey the impression that he "can talk" to Mu Xia.

It won't do him any harm to leave Mu Xia with a good image of "powerful but relatively less dangerous".

——He maintained this idea for about two months...

Until a runaway elf princess forced her way into his domain.
