Chapter 210: Confusing Cause and Effect

Mo Hao could sense that the dragon's fighting spirit that was beginning to become active in his body was also reminding him that the wealthy Lord Dozoniya in front of him was a genuine dragon.

"The Dragon-Slaying Destroyer Sword? It really lives up to its name."

Lord Dozonia clearly sensed the extent of the dragon's resentment on the black and white sword lying across his neck.

Baby dragons, giant dragons, ancient dragons, almost all known and unknown dragons can find the corresponding aura on this sword.

This great sword seemed to be born...

No, that's not right. This was not innate. Instead, it was the result of countless killings against the dragon clan. This weapon was heated by dragon breath, forged with dragon power, and tempered with dragon blood.

The only reason for its birth is to kill and massacre the dragon clan.

"I have no ill will towards you or the people here."

Lord Dozonia's performance made Mo Hao put away his sword, because he was telling the truth. If Lord Dozonia had any ill will towards the people here...

It actually doesn't take much time for a dragon to destroy a city.

If the person has a serious evil taste, he can even block the city and watch the people in the city gradually develop to the point of cannibalism.

After observations along the way, both Mo Hao, who had nothing to do with Reyasinwa, and Cecilia, the last royal family of Reyasinwa, had to admit that Lord Dozonia was better than most human lords in managing the territory.

Mo Hao put away his sword and found a chair to sit down. He didn't mind that Lord Dozonia had bad intentions, because with his strength, he could chop off his head before the other party made any moves.

Especially when the dragon used transformation magic to transform into a human, its own strength was weakened.

Mo Hao has nine ways to kill a weakened dragon that has transformed into a human form before it jumps up.

Nine kinds!

He handed the conversation over to Princess Cecilia, because he knew clearly what Lord Dozonia originally wanted to communicate, and he would not talk to a wandering swordsman.

"Your Highness, although I shouldn't say this from my position, I still hope you can go back, find a place to hide, and never come back."

Princess Cecilia picked up the teacup and took a sip of the black tea. "Reason."

"The king's power is beyond your imagination. When destroying Reyasinwa, the king didn't even take action."

As he spoke, Lord Dozonia looked at the platinum swordsman beside him and said, "Even if this gentleman helps you, the outcome will not change."

Seeing that the conversation between the two sides involved him, Mo Hao shrugged and responded with a smile, "Well, I think this issue needs a practical test before we can draw a conclusion."

Ever since he learned about the existence of the Demon Dragon King Caesar, Mo Hao had the idea of ​​blocking the door with a knife and slaughtering dragons along the way.

The reason I didn't do that was simply because there was a task at hand that needed to be completed.

However, the plan of blocking the door with knives and killing people has always been Mo Hao's top priority after completing the task.

Cecilia also refused on the spot, "The revenge for the destruction of Reyasinwa will not be settled just like that."

"Well, I guessed this would be the answer." Lord Dozonia spread his hands, looking helpless, like an elder who was kindly advising a younger generation but was rejected. But the princess's answer was already in his imagination. The kingdom would be destroyed, and everyone in the family would be wiped out. People would just let go of their blood feud...

To put it bluntly, if Princess Cecilia dares to say that she can let it go, Lord Dozonia may have to cast a few thought detection spells on her to see what is going on in her mind.

The hatred of destroying a country and a clan can be let go just like that. This reaction is really too scary... no, it's too scary.

"Nice look, but you don't seem to have asked the people of Reyasinwa if they are still willing to be your subjects."

"What did you do to them?!"

"I ate up a few corrupt officials, a few useless people who were occupying positions, and reduced some taxes. Of course, the most important point is that I let some dragonborn marry local people. If the plan goes well, this place will be full of dragonborn in a few generations."

Lord Dozonia smiled brightly, as if he was talking about something worth boasting about. "You know, most of my people like to destroy and plunder. But I am different. I like to build an environment that I like, and I prefer to propose a proposal that can benefit both or even all three parties."

"Just as if you leave, I will help to forge the news that you are dead. You will gain freedom and liberation, I will gain a small territory, and the people of Dozoniya will gain a lord who is extremely friendly to them and can protect them."

Mo Hao frowned as he listened to Lord Dozonia's explanation, and at the same time looked at Princess Cecilia.

As expected, Princess Cecilia's expression wavered, and she seemed to be persuaded, but soon hatred filled her eyes again.

Seeing Princess Cecilia waver, even for just a moment, Lord Dozonia seemed to have seen a flaw.

"And even if you keep going, what will you get in the end? A great war? Countless deaths?"

"You want to take back the territory, but my fellow tribesmen will not agree. You can only rely on the army to drive them away, but how many people will die in the process?"

"Those who died all had families and loved ones."

……

The Lord of Dozonia had no intention of keeping them for dinner, nor did he even think of inviting them to stay overnight.

Perhaps it was because of Mo Hao's presence that made him feel particularly uncomfortable. After all, not everyone could sleep peacefully when they knew that there was a crazy murderer living next door to their room.

Not to mention that inviting him to stay overnight would be like inviting a murderer to sleep next to your room.

You can sleep, but whether you can get up afterwards is another matter.

The three of them found a hotel to stay in. Both Esti and Mo Hao could see that something was wrong with Princess Cecilia.

Looking out the window at the prosperous streets, Princess Cecilia couldn't help but whisper, "Should I really continue to provoke war?"

Mo Hao, who was looking at the scenery outside from another window, said without turning his head, "Esti, there is no magician around here. Ask him to check if your princess has been hypnotized."

Recalling what Lord Dozonia said, Mo Hao sneered.

"There's no question of whether or not to take revenge. Besides, the Dragon Clan destroyed your country first and killed countless of your people. Now they want revenge and now they're telling you to cherish other people's lives?"

"When you confuse cause and effect and start to get caught up in the right and wrong of this sophistry, you have already lost."
