Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3234

Chapter 3234 Breaking the Cycle (Part 1)

"We are not talking about teaching a lesson to one of the great countries." The Father of All Ice Dragons said. "If it was just that, I'd follow you in an instant even though you probably wouldn't need my help, just my company to have a good laugh over the mountains of corpses of your enemies.

"You are talking of attacking the World Tree on their own turf. That rotten piece of wood is not a Guardian in name only. I won't put my life and those of my beloved Brood for an absolute nobody!

"If the Yggdrasill had attacked you, I would march with you because it would mean the new World Tree has gone mad already and I won't stand any fucker bullying you, old friend. But this? The Yggdrasill targeted a cocky runt who got too arrogant for his own good.

"We both know that a powerful treasure like an omni pocket is a curse to those too weak to protect it. What are you going to do the next time it happens? Are you going to fight Verhen's battles for the rest of your life? Because I sure won't!"

"Please, old friend." Valtak couldn't refute any of the Ice Dragon's logic and talking about near-death visions would make him sound even crazier. "Just do this for me and all our debts will be considered settled."

"No." Quashol shook his head, producing crystal clinks. "I owe you a lot, Valtak, but I can't bear the thought of wasting my gratitude on a hatchling that doesn't even carry your blood.

"I can't allow you to drag me into this. We both know you are a softie, and if I give in to your plea once, you'll do it again. Ask me anything that's actually for you and I'll fly to your side. Until that moment, don't waste my time with another call."

"What about the Ears of Menadion? Aren't you interested?"

"Damn if I am!" Quashol's eyes shone with Dragon greed as his mouth watered at the mere name of the artifact. "Give me your word the Ears will be mine and we can discuss terms, but a rat race?

"I should put everything on the line on the chance to get the Ears? Does anyone work in the hope of getting paid? I need certainties, old friend. The best I can do is to keep the existence of the Ears a secret, but other Dragons might not be so caring.

"Remember my words about treasures and curses because if you keep running your mouth, Verhen is going to lose another artifact he's too weak to protect. Quashol out."

The hologram of the Ice Dragon disappeared, leaving Valtak dejected. Not because of the refusal but because if even one of his dearest friends turned him down, the rest of the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Brood would do the same.

The Father of Fire didn't have time to call one Dragon at a time. To get a force capable of tipping the scale of the battle, he needed to convince Elder Dragons. If they accepted, the rest of their bloodline would follow.

As predicted, Irslak, the Father of All Storm Dragons, Ananta, the Mother of All Black Dragons, and many others refused to help one after the other. They did it out of concern for Valtak, hoping that he would realize how foolish his endeavor was and give up on the suicidal mission.

One Tiamat wasn't worth that much effort, especially with Elysia ready to keep the bloodline alive in case her reckless father died. The Elder Dragons considered any other option as enabling the Father of Fire's madness.

"I said yes. I'll help you and Lith." Gentor, the Father of all Golden Dragons said. "My greed and I will stand by your side, old friend. But first, I'd like to talk with Lith in person and give the Ears a test drive. You know, trust but verify." _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
