"There’s no saving you Remember to buy a proper burial plot so you can rest well after dying…&8221;

In China, if a doctor tells you so you Instead, he actually means…

"If you want to live, you need to pay up&8221;

If you truly couldn’t be saved, the doctor wouldn’t even tell you about it The doctor would either tell your family or try his best to not take responsibility [1]¹

In negotiation, such tactics would also be commonplace

First, s sound bad; really bad If the other person got scared, all sorts of sca conditions would become easily achievable

In the past, I’d often used such scare tactics in negotiations But this ti

Indeed, if soet out of bed, hoould you o back to sleep?

It was unknoho created the original Seal of the Four Elements on the Titans However, only a God on the level of the Chaos or Order Goddess could create an entire dimension to seal away a species Once such a perfect seal started breaking down, fixing it would be incredibly difficult

"This ancient seal is like an exquisitely created lock, made by a master craftsman Now, a part of the lock is broken, and soh level of craftsmanship wants to fix it To do so, I need to first understand how this lock was created It would be best if I have the blueprint Then I’d kno to take off and repair the lock Of course, the easiest method will be to add another lock on top of this lock&8221;

Based on this way of thinking, repairing this type of lock required unsealing it first However, that would on World would be destroyed As for the so-called "easiesta new seal on top of the old seal was h the old seal, they’d be able to break through the new one just as easily

That hy the dragons couldn’t coh the they’d tried their best to coh all their old records Although they requested the hues for assistance, they didn’t have much hope the humans could help them

But in this situation I directly told theh you invited me to help you, you still can’t be saved&8221;

Halos choked when he saw that the person he invited was s as if it was only natural It took hied to speak another sentence

"You’re… quite honest&8221;

"Of course Honesty is a virtue Casually telling lies that will eventually be seen through, without regarding morality, is utter foolishness&8221;

In soreat benefits However, based on on, especially an older, veteran dragon, would be the ons loved to cast lie detection spells and other such prophecylizards relied on their astonishing, highly reliable instincts that could deterood intentions towards theon World, I wouldn’t have colass in front of h the blood-red wine

"…Although they’ll definitely awaken, and this di, there are still other methods We can delay the time that the Titans awaken There’s even a method to prevent the collapse of this world Of course, how far we can prevent things depends on how otiations with Halos—or perhaps I should call it sca—the welcoht within the sky

I didn’t accept their invitation to stay the night in Dragon City Instead, I chose to rest in the Borealis, which was parked outside the city Toht outside, I would continue the forilant, especially if you earing all sorts of valuables and sleeping in a city filled with professional thieves

"…Professional thieves? If Little Red learns how you’re deprecating the dragons, won’t she be quite angry?&8221;

"Not at all If she knew about this, she’d be really proud and give on rote the ‘Book of excuses you can use for stealing frorandon City’s streets and enjoyed the view of the valuable jade buildings while talking bad about the dragons

"…You don’t say They were like that back in the day as well They basically viewed robbery as a nor like this, even the Metal Dragons would often coainst evil’ All those they clai&8221;

"Ha! It’s because dragons were the strongest species in theabout the to control their power, they let the power go to their heads They’re like naughty children that have acted as they pleased for too long They think it’s only nors as their property&8221;

As Harloys and I walked on the streets, this attracted a great deal of attention fro&8221; us, but as we kept walking, these "followers&8221; disappeared

The earlier incident caused the dragons to view us as walking time bombs In order to not have us cause any ons followed us secretly froons that had nefarious intentions in ons were clearly following us, Harloys and I had no reservations about talking bad about dragons In fact, we even intentionally spoke louder than normal

"Shall we return to the Borealis now?&8221;

"Of course not It’s so rare that we have a chance to visit I want to tour Dragon City’s nightlife&8221;

"With all those lizard tails following you? You really like being a circus parade leader?&8221;

"Of course not? That’s e should change our clothes now&8221;

We casually found a rando in there A series of "traffic accidents&8221; then suddenly appeared behind us When we appeared again, Harloys and I now looked completely different

I was now covered in red full-body are heavy sword I also e quite coon City

Due to certain reasons, it was coon Bloodline warriors wouldn’t show their faces Fine, the real reason was that although Dragon Bloodlines typically brought great power, only the lucky were able to maintain a handsoons were just like hue others by physical appearance Dragon Bloodline warriors obviously wouldn’t enjoy being treated like ons were skilled at? I was iht past the panicking followers that ran here to search forpast, my heavy sword transformed back into a black cat that perched on my shoulder She lazily rolled around and scratched at her whiskers It seemed that this was the for? Shall we rob a dragon’s treasury? Or go steal soonlike that here at this time, wouldn’t that o check out what the dragons are hiding&8221;

"Hiding?&8221;

"Yeah, haven’t you noticed that this city is too caliants?&8221;

I nodded in agreeons here were fighting against the local giant species I refused to believe that the dragons would be able to defeat the giants so easily And even if the dragons won, they would definitely take severe losses I wanted to better understand the true power of the local giant species It would be even better if I could obtain a coons to show you? No matter what, aren’t we supposed to be allies?&8221;
