“Miss, don’t listen to him. How can we let an outsider with unknown origins know about that matter!”
On the other side, Abigail’s face was still full of vigilance as she spoke to Joshua Bingaman again.
“Abigail, so many years have passed, I’m afraid many people have already noticed that matter, and it’s no longer a secret.”
With a light sigh, Joshua Bingaman lowered his star-filled eyes, seemingly engaged in a final mental struggle.
The formula for a Tier 3 Magic Medicine was his family had been searching for many years but still remained elusive. This time, it was undoubtedly a rare opportunity.
Moreover, the other party had the loyalty of a Tier 4 Powerhouse. This kind of powerful background was not something he, as an earl’s family, could contend against, even if that incident hadn’t occurred.
With that in mind, Joshua Bingaman hesitated no longer. With a slightly raised, fair face, he looked directly into Leo Ray’s eyes and said, “I presume
Your Excellency should be aware that our Rivers Famliy’s territory is Firsdale
City, right?”
“I’ve heard about it.”
Looking at the other party’s neither humble nor arrogant demeanor, Leo Ray nodded appreciatively.
Regarding this point, the sisters Serena and Stella had indeed reported it at noon.
“Then, may I ask Your Excellency if you know that our family’s Firsdale City, just as the name suggests, truly has a dragon sealed deep within the city?”
After a brief pause, Joshua Bingaman inhaled deeply and uttered a shocking statement.
“Oh?” Hearing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a somewhat surprised expression, signaling for the other party to continue speaking.
“This Red Dragon has been trapped in our family’s enormous dungeon for hundreds of years. This matter is a secret within the Coldflame Kingdom, and even most nobles do not know about it.”
While tucking a stray strand of blue hair behind her ear, Joshua Bingaman calmed her mind and continued, “It can be said that the mission of our Rivers Famliy is to guard this dragon for the Coldflame Royal Family generation after generation.”
“To be able to trap a dragon, especially a Red Dragon with the fiercest temper among its kind, for hundreds of years.”
On the other side, Scarlett couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.
It was well known that dragons were extremely unyielding creatures. They possessed not only extraordinary strength and strong vengefulness but also exceptional magic resistance, making it almost impossible for the Human Clan to seal them.
It seemed that there must be an untold story behind this.
“Although we of the Rivers Famliy do not know the reason why the Coldflame Royal Family has sealed this dragon, we have been loyally guarding this mission for centuries until five years ago…”
Following, through Joshua Bingaman’s account, Leo Ray found out.
As it turned out, even though the Red Dragon trapped in the dungeon carried multiple powerful seals and high-level defensive barriers, it was almost impossible for it to break free.
However, according to the family tradition, to be on the safe side.
Every ten years, the powerful members of the Rivers Famliy would use a secret method to reinforce the seals and barriers once, unchanged for centuries.
Five years ago was the most recent reinforcement.
During that time, the Rivers Famliy’s powerhouses, led by Joshua Bingaman’s father, experienced a sudden accident while reinforcing, causing the Red Dragon to regain consciousness for a brief moment.
Eventually, they completed the reinforcement, but just within those few seconds.
Most of the Rivers Famliy’s powerhouses were injured, with Joshua Bingaman’s father suffering the most severe injuries, falling victim to the difficult-to-remove Dragonfire Poison.”
“Although our Rivers Famliy’s ancestral Magic Medicine, the Tier 2 Ice Restoring Pill, has the effect of removing such fire-element toxins.
But the Dragonfire Poison my father suffered is too severe; the Ice Restoring
Pills I refined could only delay the spread of the poison.”
Alter nve years, nis DOCIY naa aeterloratea, ana recently, ne naa even Decome bedridden. ”
As she spoke, a fleeting trace of sadness that was hard to notice swept across Joshua Bingaman’s pretty face, and she returned to normal almost immediately.
It was apparent that she didn’t want to expose her vulnerable side so easily. “At the time, after thorough examination by Master Clifford and many other medical experts, it was concluded that to restore my father to normal, a Tier 3 Magic Medicine called Ice Crystal Holy Spirit Pill must be found.”
A hint of helplessness appeared on Joshua’s cold and stern face as he continued, “This Tier 3 Magic Medicine, also known as the upgraded version of the Ice Returning Pill, has been extremely rare. Our family has exhausted all efforts and searched the entire Coldflame Kingdom for many years without finding a single one.”
With another low sigh, Joshua said, “In the end, after much hardship, we could only find a Magic Potion formula for the Ice Crystal Holy Spirit Pill from a noble alchemist in the Saint Night Kingdom. The basic requirement for this exchange was another Tier 3 Magic Medicine formula…”
“I see.”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, touching his chin as he mused, “One last question, if your family has been guarding the Red Dragon for the Coldflame Royal Family for generations, why has it reached such a state today, with the royal family seemingly not lending any help?”
Looking straight into Joshua’s eyes, Leo Ray asked, “Even if there is no ready-made medicine, the royal family should be able to provide a Tier 3 Magic Medicine formula, right?”
“Your Excellency must have heard something about it already, haven’t you?”
With a self-mocking smile, Joshua’s disappointment was written all over his face as he said, “The old king is old and frail, already struggling with his own health.”
“The princes have been competing and fighting for power for several years, and things have gotten even worse lately, almost turning the royal capital into a battlefield.”
“So, who would have the time and mind to care about the life and death of a small noble family like ours in a remote city?”
At this point, Joshua bit his lip tightly and sighed softly once more. Undoubtedly, despite the many strong seals and barriers below Firsdale City,
if the Red Dragon were to go out of control, her family would undoubtedly be the first to suffer a catastrophic disaster.
Even so, for hundreds of years, the Rivers Family had remained loyal to this mission generation after generation.
Unexpectedly, the Coldflame Royal Family would turn a blind eye to her father’s situation in the end.
“I understand.”
On the other side, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
He had heard about this from Linda before.
However, due to Linda’s low noble status, the information she obtained was very limited.
From what he could see now, the internal strife within the Coldflame Royal Family was even more serious than he had imagined. “Coldflame’s power struggle for the throne? This is good news.”
At this moment, Leo Ray couldn’t help but ponder internally.
According to the information provided by Linda, the strongest Coldflame Royal Family had a Tier 5 Powerhouse in the royal capital, and the number of Tier 4 Powerhouses was even over ten.
Tier 3 Powerhouses were too numerous to list in a short period, and their overall strength was undoubtedly strong.
It was without doubt, the more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities it would create for them in return.
With this thought and a sense of joy, Leo Ray regained his spirits.
He then said to Joshua, “Joshua, you said earlier that you can refine Ice Returning Pills, right? I wonder if you have any of this magic medicine on you right now?”
“Without concealing anything from Your Excellency, I am currently carrying three of them.”
On the other side, a hint of doubt appeared on Joshua’s pretty face as she asked, “May I ask what Your Excellency intends by this?”
“Show me the magic medicine.”
With a faint smile, Leo Ray’s face was filled with calmness as he said, “Perhaps, you will soon see the long-desired Ice Crystal Holy Spirit Pill..”
