Game of the World Tree

?AN ELF RIDING A BLACK DRAGON

Constant barrage of messages flew across the screen within Little Salty Cat’s live stream, as the players who cannot join the quest watched the mercenaries of human caravan confront the black dragon.

“Hmm, I’m a little disappointed that the first human NPC models that we’ve seen are so unattractive.”

“Lol, don’t you know? This is called realism! Even back on the real world, not everyone can be good-looking, you know. Heck, just try walking out at any random streets and let’s see if you can even spot any beautiful person at all.”

“Hmm, i think adding NPCs that looks like westerners kind of breaks the immersion for me…”

“…Are you suggesting that you only want to see oriental type of characters in a western-themed fantasy game like this? That’s even less immersive!”

“I still think these human smugglers are so unattractive….Although they’re kind of better looking than the orcs I guess.”

“Tsk, we’re elves, the quintessential representation of beauty, how could they even compare to us?”

“Speaking of which…these smugglers do seem pretty weak! They can’t even handle the first wave of Blackie’s dragon breath attack.”

“Well, Meryer has already reached the strength of a Silver-rank. What I’m more worried about are their equipments! His breath attacks are destroying everything!”

“Ah, having Blackie as the main DPS is a good strat, but it’s just too heavy-handed in my opinion.”

“I totally agree as well!”

The players watching the stream are talking all over the place.

But regardless of how cheerful the player’s side was chatting upon the stream. At this moment, the enemy’s side particularly their leader Belus, was feeling completely bewildered…

An elf was riding on the back of a black dragon!

He even dared to swear upon the name of the Eternal Lord Iteo that no one would believe him if he told them about this scene he had just witnessed. Anyone would just likely think that he had gone mad from drinking too much fake wine.

The black dragons, in particular, are widely known as the most evil and ferocious of all the colored dragons. In fact, they can be considered the most despicable and shameless creatures in all of existence!

On the other hand, the elves are universally recognized as the most beautiful, peaceful, and honest amongst all of the sentient races in Sàiges.

So how could these two existence on the polar end of each spectrum be involved with one another?

Belus’ first thought was that maybe this elf was a plaything of the black dragon since dragons in general are a eccentric bunch of creatures. Aside from their pursuit of treasures, many of them also have all sorts of weird peculiar hobbies…

It wouldn’t be entirely impossible to encounter a dragon that have a fetish for breeding with an elves per se…

However, if this assumption was correct and this female elf was indeed being raised as its plaything, then how could an arrogant dragon even allow such an elf to ride upon its back?

After all… this female elf appeared to be weak, and as a powerful and esteemed beings belonging to the golden race, dragons would only allow anyone to climb upon their heads if there were enormous benefits to be gained.

Could it be that… this was just a weird kink of this particular black dragon?

Perhaps this dragon…just liked having cute female elves ride on its back?

However… that elven girl doesn’t seem very scared either!

On the contrary… it seems like she’s even a little excited?

What the hell is this combination exactly?

Belus was utterly puzzled.

Nevertheless, this weird occurrence did not stop him from attempting to negotiate with the other party.

“Lord Black Dragon, I don’t know how we may have offended you. Indeed you are very powerful, and we do not wish to become your enemy…”

After speaking, he then changed his tone to a more threatening one.

“But I must tell you, our caravan is affiliated with the great Sauron household. We also hope you will not try to make an enemy of the Sauron family and test our bottom line…”

Belus placed a stronger emphasis on the words ‘Sauron family.’ while he was talking since mentioning the name of the Sauron household is quite useful in negotiations like these.

In general, if their caravan encounters any sort of difficulties during its journey, everything would be solved just as long as they invoked the name of the Sauron family.

Even a powerful beings like a dragon would hesitate to ever mess with them!

With the background of their patriach having legendary strength, and possibly connections to demigods or even more ancient beings, such powerful household like theirs can organize a dragon-slaying team within an instant.

Aside from those ancient monsters among the dragons who have lived for thousands of years, nobody would dare place their own life at risk just to mess with a caravan that has the Sauron family as its backer.

This time, Belus firmly believed that this Black Dragon would retreat as long as he revealed his backers.

After all, it was only a young black dragon.

As long as the family desired it, sending out a few high-level experts would be enough to slay such a young dragon.

Upon seeing the humans stop negotiating, the players within the live broadcast room were also stunned.

“Huh? They just backed down?”

“After all, they are just a caravan. They must be afraid when encountering a black dragon, right?”

“I thought they were going to fight… “

“No, no… Didn’t you hear the implied threat on the caravan leader’s words?”

“The Sauron family? What kind of family is that? This guy looks like he has some powerful backers…”

“Psh! Even if they have some powerful backers, can it be stronger than ours!?”

“Yeah! Our boss is the goddess! The one who single-handedly fought against the gods a thousand years ago!”

“Speaking of which… Will Salty Cat really let them go for real?”

“I don’t know about Salty Cat, but I believe Meryer won’t let them go since they have now shown their wealth,..”

“Right, that guy is very greedy for treasures…”

As the barrage of comments from the viewers became more and more numerous, the black dragon also clearly heard the name mentioned by Belus.

“…The Sauron family?”

His eyes lit up, and there was no fear in his expression, but rather a hint of excitement.

“Is it the Sauron family that has been stirring up trouble all across the continent…smuggling banned items everywhere, trading with different races, and plundering a lot of ill gotten wealth?”

Belus, “…..”

His face looked a bit conflicted while listening to the unpleasant strings of allegations stated by the black dragon.

The old mage suppressed his anger and secretly remembered the name Meryer before nodding.

“Yes, its that great Sauron family.”

Regardless of its opinion of the Sauron family, this dragon would definitely back down now since it recognized his backers.

It called itself Meryer, right…

Its just a young black dragon, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with it in the future!

However, contrary to his expectations, the black dragon became even more excited.

“You guys are actually from the Sauron family! That’s great! That’s really great!”

“Then… your caravan must have a lot of treasures!”

“Leave it! You must leave all your treasures for this Lord!”

The viewers in the live chat: “……”

“See, just like I’ve said, right?”

“Indeed, black dragons are all greedy…”

“Wait…did Meryer just forget about the captured elves again?”

Meanwhile, Meryer’s breathing became heavier as his eyes turned red with excitement.

The Sauron family!

They were the richest human noble family on the entire continent!

This time…he’d really hit the jackpot!

Not only could he punish evil and promote good, but he could also reap a large sum of treasures!

The black dragon became even more excited.

Belus: “….”

After hearing the black dragon’s unexpected words, his face became even more unpleasant.

Where did this uncultured black dragon come from?

It still wanted to fight them despite knowing that they are part of the Sauron family?

He suppressed his anger and said,

“Black dragon! Do you know who is the leader of our family?”

Meryer scratched his ear and yawned.

“Ruaah~! Isn’t it just a legendary expert? Hmm…I remember my father once said that Sauron’s patriarch seems to have some connection with an ancient deity, but so what?”

At this point, Meryer raised his head with a proud expression.

“Hmph! Isn’t it just a true god? It’s not like this Lord haven’t seen one before! Hmph! In fact, I’ve even met a living one recently and im sure that one I’ve met is far more powerful!”

“Hah! I even joked and chatted with a great true god! This lord even received her blessings and that ancient deity personally arranged attendants to serve this lord. Ha ha ha! “

The little black dragon then raised its head smugly, full of pride.

After speaking, Meryer’s expression became somewhat ferocious.

“Besides…I want to warn you! This Lord is a righteous and great silver dragon! Not a black dragon! Although I look like a black dragon, this lord has the heart of a silver dragon!”

“I will eventually become a great silver dragon! Evil humans, your slander has already angered this lord!”

“Now…you must not only have to leave behind all your treasures and the captured elves, but also cut off your own two arms!”
