"Master Arnold, is the food I cook delicious?" Fire Elf Anji Garcia approached Arnold with scorching flames all over his body and said in a seductive tone.
"It's not bad. I can hardly entertain guests." Arnold slowly wiped his mouth like a dead fish eye, as if he didn't take Angie's tone seriously.
"Indeed, it's not bad as a treat." Lied nodded with satisfaction, mainly because he hadn't eaten for a day, and there was really nothing good to eat in the Demon King's City, so he was very thirsty.
"What! Damn human being, how dare you look down on me?! Tell me how delicious it is! Roar!" After hearing this, Anji's eyes suddenly burst into flames, and the aura of flames on his body became stronger, and he stared at the rude Lieder fiercely.
"Tsk, Coris." Arnold was annoyed and called out the name of the water elf.
"Angie, would you like to cool down?" Coris smiled and poured a jet of water on Anji's head, and the scorching flame suddenly dimmed into a small flame.
I saw Anji kneeling pitifully on the ground, her body shrunk a lot. Keris liked it so much when she saw it, she hugged the little Anji and rubbed her.
"If you don't want to get paid, just give me a better life." Arnold curled his lips, taking advantage of me and still being so presumptuous in front of me. Do you think I won't dare to deal with you because you are a fire elf?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Anji whined helplessly.
"Okay, let's talk about business now." The great sage Arnold put away the tableware and food on the table.
The things on the table just disappeared out of thin air in front of Benedy's eyes, but he was no longer surprised.
"Tell me, what do you want to do with me, the great magician who lives on the highest peak in the south, the Sacred Mountain of Sipri, and is known as the Sage Arnold Muse?"
Arnold put his hands together in front of his chin and looked at Benedy and Reid on both sides of the dining table with a critical look.
What a stinker? This was Lied’s first thought. Why does this person talk so stinky and act so pretentious!?
Benedy didn't think anything of it. He thought for a while and said: "There is something, I want to confirm with Brother Arnold. Is the reason why the Antara royal family can still prosper in the past hundred years also have your handiwork?
"
In Benedy's opinion, a kingdom has become so rotten that it cannot be so strong for a hundred years anyway. It seems that it still has the intention to continue to rule.
The reason why he was so suspicious was that the magic power of the old man with a cane was somewhat similar to Arnold's magic power, and the method of making a house invisible in space was also similar.
Arnold Muse, although he is in the holy mountain of Sipri, seems to have always been paying attention to the Kingdom of Antara.
Arnold had no intention of hiding it from the beginning. He just paused and looked at Benedy and said:
"It is much easier to maintain peace in a kingdom than to stop wars in multiple countries. This continent cannot afford more wars."
"What will the war bring?" Benedy was a little curious.
"War will bring death, despair, pain and other instinctive emotions..." Arnold was hesitant at this time whether to tell Benedy these things.
"Hey, you are still not exposed to the consequences of war...especially during this period." Arnold looked at the sky vaguely.
"Brother Arnold, please don't play charades with me. I want to know what the consequences of mass death, despair, and pain will be."
Benedy was a little speechless. Why do you powerful people like to play riddles? Whether you say it or not doesn't seem to have any effect on you at all, right?
"Haha, yes." Arnold was stunned for a moment when he was told that, then he raised his eyebrows and thought for a while before continuing: "But I will tell you this information later. Now let's talk about the current matter."
Arnold seemed a little troubled. He was formulating a plan for himself in his mind. In his opinion, the kingdom of Antara should also change.
"You should know the story of Black Dragon in the Royal City," Benedy said.
"Salsa Jones." Arnold naturally understood.
"Is there any way to remove the curse on it?" Benedy continued to ask.
"You want to attack her? You have to think clearly. Once Black Dragon is gone, the kingdom will lose its support. After that...hehe, Mavis will be in danger." Arnold seemed to have anticipated something.
"And how do you control a Black Dragon that is not bound by a contract? Her power is enough to slaughter the entire King Mebis City and the Kingdom of Antara that has lasted for more than 800 years." Arnold looked at Benny with interest.
Dee, the other party's idea is very bold.
"Control? Why do you want to control her? After the curse on her is lifted, I will take care of her." Benedy said harshly. Anyway, Arnold would not watch the kingdom be destroyed like this unless he had other plans.
But that is almost impossible. The other party has made it clear that they do not want to see large-scale casualties. How could they allow such a thing to happen?
"It can be considered a time of peace now. Although the Kingdom of Antara has acted a little recklessly over the years, it can still be considered as maintaining a balance with the east, west, and north." Arnold added some knowledge to Benedy.
"And if the balance is once broken, the scary monster-like woman in the west can be said to be a problem. The Demon King's army in the north alone is already a trouble, not to mention the madman in the east who likes to fight."
Arnold pointed out the hidden threats one by one, and then he held his forehead with a headache.
"Even so, do you want to break this relatively stable situation and release the poor Dragon?" Arnold finally asked Benedy seriously.
"..." Benedy didn't expect that rescuing a Dragon would cause such great turmoil in the entire Lenaras. It's like a butterfly flapping its wings can blow out a tornado in the distance.
"What kind of release... I just think this is too unfair to her, and if I have to live in such a country for a long time, I will always have to solve some troubles." Benedy looked a little bitter.
He thought again of Salsa who was crying desperately in mid-air before leaving. The fact that the master could open his heart to her was enough to explain everything.
Buqi said on the surface that nothing good would happen if they got involved, but he wanted to know more about Black Dragon's situation.
From Benedy's perspective, Butch is definitely a kind enough Dragon.
But Benedy didn't notice that Arnold was also looking at him from the perspective of another person. Arnold felt a slight fluctuation in his heart when he listened to Benedy's words.
"Recently, some monsters full of resentment have caused chaos in the kingdom, and the surrounding area is even more turbulent. How can ordinary people live in such a place?" Benedy thought to himself, he couldn't always live in a ravine with his master.
?
Benedy, you are still as good as ever, just like you were when I first met you. You are such a kind person. You are completely different from me. You will never become a bad person like me.
Arnold actually raised the corners of his lips silently, and looked at Benedy with a hint of inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
