Chapter 595
Chapter 595 Dragon Auction
Greem, who had sent the entire Ailovis region into turmoil, had appeared once again.
This short message spread throughout the Zhentarim in a single day, as if it was an infectious plague.
The name of a Second Grade adept shouldn’t be able to create such massive waves in the center of the continent. After all, there were over five hundred clans of various sizes scattered across Zhentarim. It wasn’t as if Second Grade adepts were everywhere, but there were at least a thousand of them.
However, he was the first and only Second Grade adept to crush a decent ranked vampire family with the power of his own clan.
The defeated Vik Family had lost over half of their family members. Even family head Haines had suffered fairly severe wounds. That wasn’t the worst of it all. The weakening of the family had also provoked several neighboring vampire families into action.
The newest information revealed that the Aimer, Snowden, and Moen Families had already started conspiring together. They were preparing to split up the Vik Family between them during this period of weakness that the Vik was experiencing.
These vampires had already shut the doors on the southwest of Zhentarim and started their own bloody battle. Plenty of rumors about the deaths of human nobles and changes in territory ownership could be heard from the southwest.
That was why most neighboring adept clans were not optimistic about Greem’s odds with how hastily and hurriedly he was committing to this. Still, with the eye-catching auction of the dragon, Greem had successfully attracted enough attendees to his ceremony.
…………
The location of the banquet was set within Magma Hall.
Long wooden tables had been neatly placed together and filled with all sorts of delicacies and wines. Delicate desserts, drinks, and fruits had all been prepared– a perfect show of the host’s goodwill and generosity.
The ones who substituted for maids were snakefiend girls that had been specially selected.
They had perfect faces and explosive upper-body figures. If one had no inhibitions to their snake hair and bodies, then the snakefiend girls were a very attractive race as well.
They stood by the side of each table, using the table and the tablecloth to obscure sight of their snake body as they helped every adept to get the food they wanted with a sweet smile on their faces.
However, the adepts who had an interest in the food and the beauties were still a minority. Most adepts were gathered around the fire prison, holding their wine glasses in hand as they talked about the imprisoned wind dragon with their friends.
It had been too long since the last appearance of a dragon in the World of Adepts!
The large adept organizations had enslaved dragons in their hands, but never before had anyone so publicly displayed and auctioned a dragon as Greem had.
It was a valuable chance, especially for the adepts who were searching for dragon blood, dragon bones, or dragon tendons. In fact, this could be their only chance.
The Wagenhagen, the Congreve, the Juniper, the Plantagenet, the Bahrain; all of the reputable mid-sized clans and small-sized clans of Zhentarim had sent envoys to observe the ceremony.
Of course, their real purpose was still the auction that was to happen after the banquet.
Adept Greem had promised to sell off this Second Grade wind dragon at that auction.
In all honesty, nothing could satisfy these clan envoys as much as this promise alone!
If they brought back a Second Grade wind dragon back with them and adequately broke it in, they would instantly have a powerful combat force within their clan. What quicker way was there to increase the power of the clan.
As for why Greem didn’t take this dragon for himself and chose to put it out for auction instead? Everyone had their guesses. The most reliable rumor was that Greem’s newly established Crimson Clan lacked the necessary experts in this field. He had trouble taming such a mighty dragon and could only convert it into other useful resources.
Of course, while this theory wasn’t complete, it still got half the reason right.
The other reason why Greem had so easily sold the wind dragon away was that there was just too many Second Grade minor dragons in Lance. Even if there weren’t a hundred Second Grades like Wind Dragon Cherkes, there would at least be eighty or ninety of them.
The Crimson Clan had established their foothold in Lance. Their Second Grade adept squad had also been formed. They might not be able to provoke a Third Grade dragon, but was it not a simple matter to deal with a Second Grade dragon?
There were three Second Grade dragon lords living within a ten thousand kilometer radius of the metal fortress alone. Cherkes was no more than the first prey to fall in the Crimson Clan’s net, and he would not be the last.
Finding a way to sell the wind dragon and making a profit was the best course of action.
This way, the Crimson Clan would obtain a new path to strengthen themselves rapidly, would they not?
