Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 406 The Disliked

"Is this the contract? I can feel it, we're together."

Dania smiled with joy, her outstretched hand seemingly trying to grasp the invisible chains.

Rean was sweating profusely. He could feel the snake woman's gaze behind him. It seemed that the girl, who had entered the honeymoon phase, had become quite sensitive.

"SOL (Holy Sun)".

As that redemptive light, like sunshine, descended, the girl who had recited the incantation revealed a joyful expression.

She found her destiny, and received her "souvenir". Rean felt inexplicably a little sour.

Perhaps for her, Suer was the father who best matched her memories.

Lex? He's impressive, but the more you know about his background and personality, the harder it is to respect him. Perhaps he hasn't experienced the age of fatherhood yet, and hasn't completed the necessary personal development.

Dania squinted, then revealed a genuine smile.

"The compatibility is excellent, and the other two dragon words can be combined to form incantations." This undoubtedly made him extremely satisfied.

Dania also has two dragon phrases, namely "Fire of the God of Fire" and "King", which seem to have a high compatibility with "Sun". That's how dragon phrases and other "language" spells are; adding even one more character can lead to completely different possibilities.

After this contract, Rean felt his strength and physique decrease again, which was a significant weakening. On the other hand, his agility and spirit increased slightly, which left him somewhat bewildered.

[Biotype Level: Diamond, Status: Strength 19, Constitution 20, Agility 12, Spirit 23]

"The increase in my mental attributes should be due to the magic and mental power from the contract feeding back into my mental state, which has raised my soul's upper limit to a certain extent, but my agility..."

After thinking about it for a moment, Rean began to understand.

"During the previous racial evolution, agility was reduced slightly. Now it seems that the increased strength and physique suppressed the body's reflexes and balance. Now that the upper limit has been weakened, the suppressed agility has actually returned."

This reality improved Rean's mood, proving that his approach was correct.

An overly inflated and reckless body, lacking balanced power, will cause the body to lose precise control.

The subsequent practical tests proved that his combat ability had not decreased but increased. Precise control and timely reaction were far more important than a little extra strength and physique.

Rean noticed that the two sisters consumed roughly the same amount and quality of essence, but Hela's weakening was insufficient, so it wasn't reflected numerically. Both sisters' capacities were more than three times that of Sina's, making it difficult to say whether their potential was higher or whether Sina was simply too pathetic.

This reassured Rean a little; perhaps contracting some ordinary sorcerers would consume less resources than expected.

They're both very busy people and rarely get to meet, so Rean and Dania chatted about their recent work.

Hearing that Rean planned to take over some shady business from the slave market, she became interested, not because she was actually tempted by those petty profits.
"Great, finally we have room for those crazy dark elves."

The chosen ones of the Dark Elf God described the Dark Elves as "relatives from the countryside," yet the Kingdom and Radiant City could not do without them. The mere teleportation ability between the Lesser and Greater Mirror Elves was an essential "infrastructure" for the Kingdom.

As the Mirror Maiden's Church gradually expanded in Radiant City, the number of dark elves in the city naturally increased. The Mirror Maiden might have wanted to find another way for her people to survive, but these people were a real problem for the people of the land. "The mistresses are all incredibly arrogant and rude; they actually asked me for men and slaves!"

"Those dark elf archmages are generally quite powerful, but this week I have received a joint complaint from the archmages of Mage Street, all of which involve stealing materials, illegal research, human experimentation, fraud and framing."

"They're just ordinary dark elves. They're bloodthirsty and greedy. Some of their warriors can't do anything but fight, and they're unwilling to go to the underground ruins, saying it's too dangerous there and that their fighting skills are better suited for killing."

Looking at the constantly complaining Dania, Rean felt a little sorry for her and then refused the request without hesitation.

"This isn't a toilet, there's really no need to send everything here."

Rean almost pinched his nose when he said that; he genuinely despised those dark-skinned elves.

They are extreme egoists, unstable elements who could betray at any time, and such people would cause trouble in any city.

Many illegal acts in other races and countries, including running brothels, blood sacrifices, the slave trade, deceiving foreigners, and attacking people on land, are perfectly legal in their own minds.

This kind of "ignorance is bliss" mentality is absolutely disastrous for those maintaining order on the ground.

"At least, consider it." The princess said helplessly, "I'm a little overwhelmed. After all, I'm your lord, so it's only natural for me to help share the burden."

Rean, however, made an X. He had finally managed to get things sorted out a little, and now you're throwing down a bunch of bastards. Who knows how badly they'll fight.

Those who understand Dark Elf society more are less able to accept such "friendly citizens." Rean now understands why Victoria despises Dark Elf society so much.

This is still the Dark Elf of the Mirror Woman society, which is considered to be among the more benevolent ones. The Dark Elf's "kindness" is very different from what people in the world know. For them, not actively killing, plotting, or committing crimes is probably considered kindness.

On Rean's side, there was also a group of half-elf immigrants. They were arranged by their mentors and were outsiders who came to receive protection. Among them were many professionals and craftsmen, most of whom were neutral or benevolent.

Half-elves have long been victims of persecution, and the main force that discriminates against and hunts them is the elves. Many active elf advocates regard them as monstrous species that must be eliminated.

Both dark elves and half-elves are outcasts of the elven race, but the latter are probably prey for the former.

The sight of half-elves and dark elves together was too beautiful for Rean to bear.

Dania sighed and didn't insist.
"They also demanded an arena, claiming it was for a blood sacrifice to the gods, but the Mirror Woman clearly didn't ask for one. I think it's them who want to satisfy their own bloody pleasure."

"Oh, that's a good option."

After thinking for a moment, Li En spoke.

Is letting evil kill evil really evil? At least Rean thinks it's a good thing.

"I'll have Dimon arrange for them to sign waivers, so they can do their own thing and maybe even bring me some business."
