Chapter 1850: Chapter 1850: Can I Get My Reward First?
The Ancestor Dragon was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Carson Flores to ask so directly!
The matter hasn’t been completed yet!
The Ancestor Dragon chuckled, "How was the Immortal Wine and Immortal Peaches you consumed earlier?"
Carson Flores gave a thumbs-up and praised, "The Immortal Wine is excellent, it changes the constitution and increases the speed of cultivation. The Immortal Peach directly enhances strength, and the effect is obvious. Unfortunately, there’s just not enough. Otherwise, with my Mid-Stage True Immortal strength, I might have been able to advance directly to True Immortal Peak!"
The Ancestor Dragon laughed and promised, "One jar of Immortal Wine, fifty Immortal Peaches, how about it? Are you satisfied with this reward?"
Carson Flores’ eyes lit up with excitement. He rubbed his hands together, appearing a bit embarrassed, but ultimately asked awkwardly, "Senior, can I have the reward now?"
The Ancestor Dragon frowned, "The task hasn’t been completed yet."
Carson Flores explained, "I am a greedy person. When I get the goods, I feel at ease and can give it my all. If I don’t have the goods in hand, I always feel uneasy and hesitant when doing things. Besides, even though I’m in this Sacred Place, I wouldn’t run away with the reward, right? Senior, you don’t have to worry about me slacking off after getting the reward, do you?"
The Ancestor Dragon looked at Carson Flores, his eyes showing a bit of annoyance.
This kid hasn’t completed the task yet, and already he’s thinking about getting the goods. Although his words were polite, weren’t his underlying messages threatening me?
Claiming that he would be hesitant without the reward but would give it his all if he had it?
The subtext was clearly: if you don’t give me the reward first, I’ll work half-heartedly, and if the task fails, don’t blame me!
Little fox!
In the end, the Ancestor Dragon was experienced and wise; he understood that to make the horse run fast, it must be fed. Moreover, this was life-threatening; asking for the goods in advance wasn’t impractical.
Despite being the Ancestor of the Dragon Clan, with a noble identity and great power, Carson Flores was a Special Envoy of the Domain Master, representing the strongest force in this Immortal Domain, not his subordinate. It’s normal for him to negotiate.
The Ancestor Dragon smiled and said, "Very well, I’ll give it to you first."
With a wave of his hand, a jar of Immortal Wine and fifty Immortal Peaches appeared in the air. Carson Flores wasn’t shy and with a sweep of his hand, he collected them all into his Space Ring.
"Thank you, Senior. For the sake of these Immortal Wine and Immortal Peaches, I will give it my all and complete the mission well!"
The Ancestor Dragon nodded, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Carson Flores thought for a moment and asked, "I just heard someone say something about wanting to devour you and become one. What does that mean?"
"Just devouring."
The Ancestor Dragon calmly replied, "We are already two separate entities, though originally split from one person. But now he is him, and I am me. If he devours me, it would naturally benefit him greatly."
"Devouring means to destroy. If I get the chance, I will use a Formation to destroy him and completely sever this bond."
Carson Flores then asked, "As long as we subdue or kill him, can we leave?"
"Yes!"
The Ancestor Dragon explained, "Currently, you can’t leave because his power can interfere with the Teleportation Gate, and I can’t open the gate to send you away. Of course, there are some places in the Sacred Place that you can explore if you’re interested, or you can leave after exploring."
"Alright!"
Carson Flores smiled, "One last question, will the senior tell Oliver Stone the truth?"
The Ancestor Dragon shook his head, "I won’t. If I tell him, he might not cooperate willingly, since there’s a certain risk. Moreover, if he’s mentally prepared, it becomes easy to give the game away. Only when he’s completely unaware can we truly dispel suspicion."
Carson Flores nodded, "Alright, then I have no more questions."
The Ancestor Dragon took out the Array Plate he had prepared earlier and handed it to Carson Flores, then taught him how to use it, finally taking out a golden sphere.
"This is a magical treasure infused with my energy. It’s a one-time-use item that can block one of his attacks for you. Remember, it only blocks once. Therefore, you must quickly enter the core. Once the formation is activated, even if I haven’t yet teleported over, he will need at least five minutes to break through the Protection Shield outside the core."
"As long as you complete the placement and activation of the Array Plate within five minutes, your task will be completed, and you’ll be safe."
Carson Flores remembered everything and smiled, "Got it."
The Ancestor Dragon stared at Carson Flores, speaking in a deep voice, "There’s only one chance. Once the core is exposed, it will be under his control, and no one will be able to enter it stealthily again, and I’ll lose the only chance to suppress him."
His voice became quite serious, "Given his temperament, if we can’t successfully subdue him, he will certainly run wild. At that time, all who enter the Abyss will be his first targets!"
Carson Flores’ heart sank, and he nodded, "Understood."
The Ancestor Dragon spoke softly, "The lives of so many elite disciples of the Dragon Clan are now in your hands!"
Carson Flores suddenly laughed, "Rest assured, Senior, I will complete the mission. By the way, as an aside, why does the Senior take human form while he remains in dragon form? In a way, he truly is the Dragon Soul, right?"
