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

Chapter 85

Nightblade Castle, the guest room.

"Everything is going well?" The messenger who manipulated the golem behind confirmed to Anya.

"That's right, just as we planned before... No, it's even smoother than planned. My people have initially gained the trust of the red dragon, and I just received the report." Anya said to the golem.

"The red dragon can take the lead from Mu Xia, it's better not to underestimate him." The envoy gave a cautious opinion.

"Of course, so in order to fully paralyze him, I spent a lot of money, but the most important thing is to do what he likes." Anya explained, "It has now been confirmed that the red dragon does have a special hobby for humanoid creatures. As long as this is properly handled, it is relatively easy to deal with."

"So, have you found anything?" the messenger asked.

"It has been preliminarily determined that the tower as a whole has some kind of special power. In addition to the Holy Fire, it seems that it can freely summon golems in the tower that can be driven by the owner. As for the manipulation method, it seems that when the red dragon uses the power of the tower, it often takes out a book." Anya replied.

"The magic book that manipulates the mage's tower? That should be at least a high-level artifact. Didn't the red dragon bear the price for using it?" the messenger asked.

"So far, no obvious price has been found for the red dragon, and the red dragon seems to have no restraint in using its power. Perhaps, it is an artifact whose price has been paid off or transferred, just like angels and demons do not need to bear the price for using the corresponding artifact." Anya replied.

There is one thing Anja didn't explain.

According to the information they inquired from the empire, the red dragon entrenched in that ruins should have only just grown up.

However, according to Mu Xia's information and several contact observations, it can be fully confirmed that the red dragon has obviously grown to the late stage of adulthood.

The red dragon, who was originally only over 100 years old, has grown to be at least [-] years old now, which is most likely also influenced by that tower.

The messenger may have already noticed this point.

"You've done a great job. The people in 'Maze' really didn't let me down." The envoy praised.

"Thank you for your appreciation." Anya saluted respectfully, "Master Messenger, our family has contributed a lot of resources to this mission. I wonder if we can reduce the tribute for the next time?"

The envoy was silent for a moment, then replied, "Let's discuss this point after you have achieved more results."

"I understand, we will not let you down." Anya bowed her head humbly.

When the golem returned to silence, Anya raised her head.

This time, she was not angry because the envoy refused to reduce the tribute. She had originally planned to leave the family. Since this hopeless family was willing to surrender and pay tribute to the other party, Anya had already lost interest in fighting for the family's interests.

This is just a temptation. She has tried similar temptations several times, including asking the forces behind the messenger to intervene, but she was rejected every time.

While showing obedience in front of the messenger, she also asked the subordinates of the "Labyrinth" to inquire about various information about the messenger and the forces behind it.

According to the information at hand, she found that the messenger most likely concealed a lot of information about the red dragon from her own forces.

This guy also wants to monopolize...but that's fine.

She knew that from the standpoint of the messenger, there was a high probability that she could not bear the crime of concealing the report.

In other words, even if she snatched the power of the Red Dragon and made it her own, she would not be targeted by that force, but would only be marked down by the messenger.

As long as he gets the power that even the legendary powerhouse can handle, the messenger can only be furious at her incompetently.

As long as the next plan goes well.

According to the report of his subordinates, although the red dragon was still cautious, the beauty trick seemed to be very effective against him.

Then it is enough to just continue to do what he likes and paralyze him.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared in Anya's heart.
-
Infinity Tower, an open space near the ranch.

"As you like?" Zhenna, standing in front of Ganon, blinked her eyes twice.

"Yes, since the master behind them wants me to be a deceitful taker, then I will play this image well, do what I like to paralyze her, and fish her out." Ganon replied lazily on the ground basking in the sun in the shape of a dragon.

"You want to get the power of the 'labyrinth'?" Zhenna asked.

"Yes, the Grand Duke of Xihe Principality is a trouble after all, we have to kill him." Ganon said.

"Even for the labyrinth, this is not an easy task. Grand Duke Di Pu's private life is miserable, but he is not without strength. He practiced the Holy Light Art when he was young, so he is a priest at the master level, not to mention he has extraordinary guards around him. Just catching one or two assassins and forcing them to sign slave contracts may not be able to complete the task." Zhenna reminded.

"I can also do the killing, as long as someone can find out the right time to do it." Ganon replied.

"So are you going to fish out that Anya Nightblade, and then borrow her power to control the maze?" Zhenna understood a little bit.

"It would be ideal if they could get this done while they're sugar-coating the shells, but I guess they won't agree to such a costly condition since they're planning something wrong," Gannon said.

"Then why don't you just start with the three dark elves that were sent earlier, follow the clues to capture the person who was connected and force her to sign a contract, and turn all the dark elves into slaves and train them hard?" Isbel on the side suddenly clenched her fists.

"This is indeed the simplest method, but the [Prisoner's Contract] is only useful if the other party accepts it. It will be more difficult if you encounter a stubborn stubble that is not afraid of death. However, many assassins on the side of the dark elves are like this. Once the follow-through is broken in the middle, they will scare the enemy instead, so this can only be used as a last resort." Gannon explained.

The empire had sent assassins before, and he captured one of them, but before the interrogation began, the other party committed suicide on the spot.

According to the confessions of the three dark elves, the assassins of the "Maze" basically have a similar style, and the master behind them, Anya Nightblade, may not be so easy to control.Once the other party chooses to die without hesitation, the contract will be useless.

These three dark elves signed the contract because they were too confident in the insurance they had made earlier.

"And don't forget, behind the dark elves, there are other people giving orders, and that is the big fish. Even if Grand Duke Di Pu is ignored, just to ensure our safety, we have to get rid of all those who are eyeing us." Ganon added.

The three dark elves confessed not only the masters behind them, but also an emissary behind their family - there are other forces controlling the Nightblade family and supporting the Nightblade family to become the masters of Nitrilan.

It's a pity that the knowledge of the three dark elves who were treated as cannon fodder is limited to this point. Only the senior members of the family are qualified to directly contact that force, and Anya Nightblade is the messenger's contact person.

And the task of spying on Ganon seems to be issued by that messenger.

It was not enough to just catch Anya Nightblade. Gannon also caught the "messenger" behind her. This process must be done carefully. Simply and rudely using the [Prisoner's Contract] to follow the clues may cause the chain of clues to be broken due to unexpected resistance.

"Then do as you say." Zhenna nodded.

"Speaking of which, what are you doing?" Isbel looked at Ganon.

At this time, Ganon was lying on the ground, and the dragon's body bulged like a hill.

Three dark elves, two stood on either side of him, and one climbed onto his back. Each of them held a long-handled brush in their hands, and brushed the scales on Gannon's body fiercely.

"You saw it too, cleaning your body." Gannon turned his head slightly after answering, "Put a little force, haven't you eaten?"

"Yes!!" The three dark elves tried their best to scrub quickly.

"Just dry rubbing?" Isbel muttered, "I've never seen you take a bath in water."

"Did you try to spy on the bathhouse?" Ganon glanced at Isbel.

"Ganoen hates being wet, just like a cat." Zhenna explained, "Unless the water is completely boiled."

"I don't want to, but really only boiling water can make me feel the temperature is okay." Gannon replied.

After turning into a red dragon, he became extremely fond of high temperature environments, and would feel uncontrollably depressed when his body got wet in cold water.

The memory left by Helganon shows that he once soaked in magma, which is the real hot spring for the red dragon.

"Then you have to bathe with boiling water every day?" Isbel asked.

"That's so troublesome. I usually release high temperature from my whole body to bake the surface of my body, and then wipe off the dust." Gannon replied.

Ganon felt that to a certain extent, this way of bathing was quite hygienic. After washing, probably not even a single bacterium could be found on the surface of his body.

Moreover, the dragon doesn't sweat, and the dragon scales basically only have a little stain from the outside world.

"Using the transformation technique to make the body smaller should be more efficient, right?" Isbel said.

"It feels like a massage, it's comfortable." Gannon stretched his body comfortably, "It's rare to pick up three maids for nothing, so I have to give them some work."

"Wouldn't it be better to leave this kind of thing to Shitou?" Zhenna muttered.

"Stone took the group of people he received from Grand Duke Dipper's army to repair the tower." Gannon replied.

"It makes me want to try it too, do you still have a brush?" Isbel suddenly wanted to try it.

"I always feel that you will greet strange places... Forget it, if you want to be safe, come if you want." Gannon glanced at her warily, and told one of the dark elves, "Go and get another brush."

"Then I too..." Zhenna wanted to join with some hesitation.

At this time, a dragon's roar came from the sky, and Ganon suddenly raised his head.
