They don't want me to try anymore.

This is the most terrifying dragon in legend!

Just then, the black dragon opened its mouth and spoke in a female voice: "Interesting mortal, actually managing to intrude into this dream..."

Wait, she knows she's dreaming?

Does she have a genuine sense of independence?

Richard and his two companions were all shocked.

Meanwhile, in the underground palace ten thousand meters below.

Isabella, bound by chains, is concentrating on remotely controlling her dream self within the Carefree Corridor.

It turned out that after the simulation ended, Isabella carefully reviewed her memories and confirmed that she had indeed sensed the presence of the Dream God.

As an observer when the Dream God fell, she knew some of the intricacies of the situation, so she immediately suspected that Richard might have been to the Hall of No Bliss.

Therefore, she decided to go and see for herself.

Ordinary people, dragons, or even ordinary gods would find it difficult to do this.

But Isabella was different.

As a powerful being capable of confronting gods head-on, even when sealed away, she is still sensitive to anything related to her, even if it's just a statue—not to mention, in the dream of the Dream God, there is another version of herself that clearly points to her.

Therefore, as long as she is willing to put in the effort, she can remotely control this prosthetic in the Worry-Free Corridor.

After several days, she successfully extended her mind into the Carefree Corridor, and then...

Hey, you know what, you really shouldn't say it!

And sure enough, Richard was there!

Not only were the humans frightened, but she was also quite surprised.

She originally just wanted to give it a try.

It's like when you draw cards and the first 90 draws are all wrong, and you only have 10 left. You don't have much hope, but you get two gold cards. How can you not be happy?

But after the initial joy, Isabella immediately became cautious and nervous.

She was unaware that Richard also had a simulation, and thought this was her first real-life meeting with Richard—although she had previously indirectly sent him dragons and worms, indirect is indirect, and it's different from face-to-face interaction.

A precious first encounter must be cherished!

I can't let him leave a bad impression on me! But I also can't spoil this big idiot too much, otherwise he'll definitely take advantage of me later...

Isabella gritted her teeth, recalling the experience of making the dragon blush and her heart race during the first simulation.

In the dreamlike corridor of carefree joy.

Isabella stared at the three little figures for a long time before speaking her second sentence: "Tell me, humans, who are you, and how did you get here? The Carefree Corridor has been closed for nearly a thousand years; normal people cannot enter."

Knowing that this is a dream, in other words, the giant dragon in front of us can be seen as Isabella's true form in a certain sense?

Richard was very excited!

I've finally made contact with her!

However, he also did not want to reveal the existence of the simulation, so he replied with considerable respect and caution: "We have no intention of disturbing you, Great Dragon King! We come from..."

After briefly introducing everyone's identities and their purpose in stopping the Blue Gloves, he added, "We dare not deceive you; we were trapped here by accident and don't know how to get out. Do you know..."

Beside them, Alice and Veronica were both tense.

They didn't understand Isabella, and felt that Richard's tone seemed a bit too relaxed. They were afraid that the dragon in front of them might suddenly turn around and wipe them all out if it was displeased.

After all, this is the legendary Wings of Calamity!

However, Isabella would not do that.

Seeing Richard's cooperation, she promptly reciprocated with a smile of goodwill.

"Hahaha, so you've managed to humiliate the followers of Order? Interesting, very interesting! Well done, humans!"

The dragon turned its head and stared straight at Richard: "I'm in a good mood and can help you."

"But you have to agree to one condition~"

Chapter 143 A Very Equal Treaty Was Signed

"Please tell us, as long as you don't mind our lack of strength, we are happy to serve you."

"Hum~"

Richard's humble demeanor amused Isabella, but she didn't put on airs and quickly straightened herself, saying, "I want you to offer me the hearts of three lord-level demons within five years. The specific sacrificial ritual is..."

A lord-level demon?

Richard immediately recalled the relevant knowledge:

The classification of demons differs from that of humans, taking into account their species and their survival background in the Abyss. Generally speaking, the combat strength of a lord-level demon is roughly equivalent to that of a human ranging from high-silver to mid-gold.

Most of these demons live in the abyss.

However, in recent years, many demons have been roaming the North and the northeastern border of the Empire, among whom there are likely some lord-level ones.

Overall, this task is not easy to complete.

However, Isabella has given me five years, which makes things easier. By then, I should be at least in the mid-Silver rank, Veronica should be close to Gold, and with Luvia on the other hand, there's hope...

While Richard was devising a plan, Isabella was also thinking.

She didn't give Richard this task because she wanted to make things difficult for him; rather, she genuinely needed the devil's heart.

If she can obtain it, she can escape the seal sooner and recover her strength faster.

But... wouldn't it still be a bit difficult for him?

Seeing that Richard hadn't replied for a long time, Isabella added, "If you find it too difficult, one is fine, or something not fresh is fine too... well, personal safety is the priority."

Alice and Veronica both squinted.

How jarring!

Are you the legendary Scourgewing? Are you really that easy to talk to?

Shouldn't you be breathing fire, terrifying humans into trembling fear, and then grinning as you force them to sign slave treaties?

...Well, at least Veronica thinks she would do that.

On the other side, Isabella also felt that she was being a little too deliberate.

Then she suddenly spread her wings, stirring up a gale that dispersed the rolling dark clouds, and then raised her huge dragon head, with sharp teeth several meters long, high to look down at the three humans.

She feigned anger, exhaling a small puff of flame, and said to Richard:

"Still haven't decided? I don't have much patience, humans..."

"No, you misunderstand, Great Dragon King."

Richard quickly replied, "I'm willing to agree to that condition. I was just thinking about how to accomplish it."

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you~"

Isabella breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression remained haughty as she looked down at the three of them, saying:

"This is not just a transaction, but also a test. You are an enemy of the Church of Order, aren't you? If you perform well, I may consider taking you as a familiar and helping you cause some trouble for that bitch of Order."

"That would be my honor."

"To put the minds of weak beings like you at ease, let's sign a contract."

That's what she said, but actually, Isabella wanted to put her mind at ease. She was a little afraid that after leaving the special environment of the Carefree Corridor, she would no longer be able to contact Richard.

Richard shared the same idea.

After all, he had decided long ago to establish contact with Isabella!

This is both a personal emotional demand and a requirement of the grand strategy to save the motherland!

Soon, a phantom scroll, several meters long and wide, appeared in mid-air, with a huge dragon claw imprint pressed into the blank space below.

After glancing at the contents, Richard promptly signed his name.

The princess and the vampire behind them once again wore complicated expressions.

Because they discovered that the contract contained nothing more than the details of the transaction that had just taken place.

Or more specifically, there are no penalty clauses or similar provisions for transactions that fail to be completed.

Isn't this... a little too gentle?

Were the most famous dragons in history actually friendly to humans?

Isabella was also watching the two women at that moment.

Those two little ones, were they the future Vatican Queen and the rulers of Divine Grace Island?

By human standards, she's not bad, she's a good match for that idiot, but... that only applies before I came out!

Once I break free of the seal, you'll all have to step aside!

hum!

That said, wasn't that big idiot too quick to sign?
