Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

Genjiro frowned, wondering why Genjiro would suddenly show such signs of weakness.

But his doubts didn't last long; his brows furrowed even deeper.

He noticed that Erii's face had also turned pale, though not as intensely as Genji's, but it was indeed due to the strange friction sound that caused her weakness.

A soft, rustling sound filled the air. Although the sound was faint, even the sharp howling of the storm couldn't drown it out. It seemed to resonate deep within one's soul, sending chills down one's spine.

Although the sound was very strange, it was not as exaggerated as the other two people's reactions.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Ye.

The boy was unharmed, but his face became extremely cold and stern, filled with a chilling murderous intent.

The music of "Swan Lake" played from the loudspeakers in the Skyview Corridor.

Then came the steady, rhythmic footsteps, as if someone was approaching.

Lin Ye's face turned extremely gloomy.

He knew that the evil spirit had arrived.

Chapter 109 A Pleasant Cooperation... Ah!!! [Please Subscribe!]

Lead-black clouds filled the sky, and streaks of lightning flashed like rolling dragons.

The torrential rain poured down like raging waterfalls cascading down upon the earth, accompanied by deafening white thunder and lightning. And amidst this apocalyptic atmosphere, the symphony of Swan Lake resounded from the Skyward Corridor.

The newcomer was dressed like an officer from Ula, exuding a chilling aura, like the ice and snow of Siberia in the Arctic.

As for Genjiro and Genjiro, after their previous conversation with Lin Ye, they both knew that the person in front of them was most likely Herzog, the true master of the two shadow warriors, Tachibana Masamune and the King.

"You've come..."

However, upon seeing the appearance of this evil spirit, Lin Ye changed his previous cold demeanor and greeted it with great enthusiasm.

What the hell? ! !

This scene caught Genjiro and Genjiro off guard, as did Herzog, who was also making his appearance.

Because Lin Ye's tone was so eager, it felt more like a meeting between old friends, or like seeing a long-lost friend.

However, upon closer listening, a strong sense of murderous intent is mixed within this fervent tone. Although the boy appears to be smiling, he gives the impression of grinding his teeth and sucking blood.

Herzog was taken aback. He had been thinking about how to break the silence, or rather, what tone to use when addressing the people present.

After all, he had come here in person and had not intended to resolve the issue by force. At least he would not resort to force before the negotiations broke down. But he did not expect Lin Ye to be so "enthusiastic".

Herzog became puzzled.

In his mind, Lin Ye shouldn't know him, since the two had never met, and the person who had actually seen him was buried in the permafrost of Siberia in the Arctic.

This was actually due to Herzog's information asymmetry, because the other party did not know that the court noble who tormented the shadow warrior Tachibana Masamune was none other than Lin Ye in front of him.

Similarly, the other party was unaware that Lin Ye knew all the plot details of the Dragon Clan, and even more so, everything about Herzog. The other party had no idea that Lin Ye knew everything about him, which is why he was caught off guard by such an eager tone.

But Herzog was extremely shrewd and cunning. Faced with such a warm greeting, the other party replied in an equally warm tone: "It seems that we really hit it off immediately. To meet in such a dark and stormy place is probably a wonderful and fascinating kind of fate."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye continued enthusiastically, "Absolutely! It has to be love at first sight! It has to be fate!"

Lin Ye was extremely excited, and this excitement also made Erii, who was beside him, feel something unusual.

This was the first time Erii had ever felt such intense emotion from Lin Ye; it seemed like this emotion had only ever appeared in her.

For a moment, the girl's eyes flickered, surging with a meaningful light, and her gaze toward Herzog was filled with hostility.

The enemy of a love rival.

Seeing Lin Ye so excited almost startled Herzog, who thought Lin Ye had gone crazy and was about to attack him.

"Since we seem to get along well, how about we go into cooperation?" Herzog said.

"Cooperation? In what areas?"

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly.

Herzog said in a low voice, "A partnership that can be mutually beneficial for both of us is also a truly great partnership."

"Oh ho, I'd like to hear more."

Lin Ye looked very interested.

Herzog, wearing a nobleman's mask, had a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

"However, if you really want to cooperate, you'd better think it over carefully. I won't agree unless you offer a very high price," Lin Ye emphasized.

"How about the throne of this world?" Herzog asked bluntly.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow. "It sounds very lofty, but it also feels a bit empty. Constantly spouting clichés like controlling the world doesn't really inspire confidence. Besides, I've never had any grand ambitions. I just want to live a peaceful life with the person I love."

Herzog continued, "I dare to say this because I am confident that as long as we can cooperate, we will definitely have the right to dominate this world, and everyone will need this power."

Lord Lin Ye, you need it too.

Even if you don't have lofty ambitions, isn't wanting to spend your life peacefully and happily with the girl you love the most extravagant thing in the world?

I know that someone as powerful as you doesn't actually crave fame or fortune. Otherwise, with your strength, you could have a very high position and status in this world, instead of being unknown as before. To be honest, I didn't even know you existed before this. Before you showed your power, I looked at you like an ant. But when you displayed that great power, I was deeply shaken.

You are a dragon, not a worm. You possess the power of a dragon, yet you are content with mediocrity.

I can sense that someone like you must yearn for peace and tranquility, and want to spend those beautiful and peaceful days with the girl you love. Aren't these things, these pure and beautiful desires, the most coveted things in the world?

Don't forget that this is the world of dragons. How can you find peace and tranquility with the girl you love? Because you both possess powerful dragon blood, and having such pure and terrifying dragon blood is itself the greatest original sin.

Countless enemies will lurk in the shadows, coveting your power. They will pounce on you like demons, ready to drag you into the darkness and devour you completely.

Herzog said in a hoarse voice.

He walked slowly around Lin Ye's body, just like the serpent in the Garden of Eden in the Bible that tricked Adam and Eve into eating the forbidden fruit.

Seemingly sincere words are like a venomous snake hissing and flicking its tongue.

During this process, neither Genjiro nor Genjiro spoke, because they also needed to adjust.

They had suffered heavy losses in the recent battle with the snake-like dead servants. Although they still had a third of the dead servants left, if these creatures attacked relentlessly, they would pose a significant threat to them.

So they quickly adjusted during this lull, and they didn't want to break the atmosphere of the standoff. They also wanted to hear what methods this man named Herzog had and what kind of schemes he had.

The fact that the other party dared to so brazenly announce the negotiations on the spot clearly meant that they were included, but Lin Ye was the first choice and the primary figure, while they were secondary figures.

While keeping an eye on Herzog, they also kept an eye on Lin Ye.

It can be said that they knew the other party was Herzog, and they also knew that this ambitious man indeed possessed cunning and power. As for Lin Ye, if he were to cooperate with the other party, he might really obtain those things he had been dreaming of, but the premise was that he would not be devoured by Herzog. However, to obtain those things, he would have to pay a certain price and face certain dangers. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and there are no free lunches.

Lin Ye looked at Herzog with a deep gaze and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Does the evil spirit you're referring to include yourself?"

Herzog did not deny it. He nodded. "Of course, that includes me. I am a demon. I am even more evil than them. But you can't survive in this world without being evil. Only by harboring evil in our hearts can we do things that are beneficial to us without restraint, right?"

But allies are different. If we can form an alliance, then we are close partners, and my evil will only be directed at my enemies, not my allies.

Lin Ye, if you are willing, we will be the closest and most loyal allies. We will never betray each other, until the very end of our journey to the throne.

"Tsk tsk, interesting, the end of the throne, huh..."

"That's quite enticing, isn't it? It's as if the throne is right before my eyes. But why should I believe you? Surely you're not expecting me to blindly trust you just because you're standing here and saying a few words? Wouldn't that be a bit too hasty?"

Lin Ye couldn't help but complain, seemingly criticizing the alliance for not being grand enough.

So you're saying you've agreed?

Whether I agree or not is another matter, but at least I need to see your sincerity, right?

Herzog chuckled hoarsely, "Sincerity? Aren't these sincerity?"

As he spoke, he took out two black sticks and rubbed them together.

Minamoto no Chizuru and Erii's bodies trembled involuntarily.

However, even under such a sound, the serpentine dead servants, who had already retreated, roared again. Their pupils shone fiercely in the wind and rain, and they all looked up at the people on the Sky Tree Corridor, seemingly waiting for Herzog's order to kill.

But before this order was given, even if they were bloodthirsty, they dared not act rashly.

Herzog looked at the serpentine undead below with loving eyes, as if looking at his own children, and smiled with satisfaction: "Lord Lin Ye, how about it... you see, right? These serpentine undead are our greatest asset, and in the future they will also be the main force in attacking this world."

As long as they are there, we can ensure that we can rampage through this world and tear apart anything that gets in our way. I also know that there is a very large treasure in this world, and in this treasure is something that can evolve dragon blood.

You may not want this, but that doesn't mean others don't need it, like the girl next to you.

The girl named Erii is troubled by a disordered bloodline because her bloodline is imperfect, a missing piece. It is this missing piece that causes the girl's bloodline to become violent. If the final sequence of this bloodline can be completed, then the bloodline of this girl named Erii will become stable.

Moreover, not only will the opponent no longer be prone to rage, but their bloodline will even be further strengthened. They will possess unparalleled power, ensuring they remain unharmed in any attack—isn't that what you want to see?

Herzog continued, patiently explaining.

It did sound very tempting, and even Lin Ye couldn't help but be 'moved'.

Especially when the boy looked at Erii beside him, it seemed that he had already made a decision in his heart.

“If you are interested, I would really like to work with you.”

Herzog looked at Lin Ye and extended his hand to the boy.

Beneath the pale, noble-looking mask, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upwards in a smug smile.

He seemed to already see that Lin Ye would agree, and that the boy would definitely agree, because Herzog understood human nature too well. He understood human nature from a very young age and also knew how to use human weaknesses to attack his opponents.

As long as a person has desires, then they will have weaknesses. These desires can come from all sorts of things, such as wealth, power, women, or even the desire for an ordinary and happy life. These things are all manifestations of desires. Lin Ye's desire is to enable the girl around him to live a happy and stable life, and this is Lin Ye's weakness.

Herzog mentioned exactly what Lin Ye wanted, so he felt there was no reason for Lin Ye not to agree.

So at that moment he reached out his hand, waiting for the other party's response.

The storm was howling fiercely, but Herzog was not in a hurry. He knew that the boy would eventually make a choice that satisfied him.

"Come on, let's rule this world together in the future. I see your potential, and I know you are a very powerful ally. We will definitely reach that point in the future, and then we will get what we need from each other, nothing more."

Herzog pressed on, his tone very solemn, which also conveyed his inner determination.

But if you listen carefully, you can hear a very gloating hissing sound emanating from him. The sound is very faint, but extremely piercing, as if an extremely evil ghost is residing in the other party's body, coveting Lin Ye's body. As long as Lin Ye can agree, then this evil ghost will wait for this opportunity.

However, Herzog kept his composure, trying his best to restrain himself and make sure he didn't show too much of himself. Otherwise, if he revealed his grotesque, demonic corpse, he might scare the other party away or enrage them in an instant. That's why he needed to stay calm.

The reason he found Lin Ye was because he saw Lin Ye's potential. Not only that, it can be said that Erii also fell in love with this boy named Lin Ye. Erii would not listen to her brother Genji, but she would listen to Lin Ye. So, as long as he got Lin Ye, it was equivalent to getting Erii.

Herzog's next vessel plan can also be implemented perfectly. He decided that after forming an alliance with Lin Ye, he would give her some benefits in the early stages, but when it came to the final stage, especially when it came to fusing with the god, he would use Erii as a vessel as soon as possible, and Lin Ye as a very delicious food.
