Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 740 - Selling A Lie That Might Kill You



Arthur stood on the top of that barrier while watching the world around him change fast. It was like doomsday and at this stage of fight he couldn\'t stand there without getting hurt.

So he flew back towards the angry Doaf and stupefied Amera.

​​

"I request permission to take out my mages and take redemption for what they did to my world," when Arthur came closer he heard Doaf asked with gritted teeth and shaken body out of deep anger and desire for vengeance.

"Your help isn\'t needed," yet the grandmaster didn\'t put his request into the eye, "you can rest assured, we will take the revenge you desire with our own hands."

"But there are far more groups of them out there to be handled by you alone," Arthur didn\'t wait for Doaf to try and convince her as he shouted even before coming near them.

"What did you just say?" the grandmaster narrowed her eyes, "don\'t tell me you can tell their locations as well."

"Do you have a map?" Arthur shrugged and that made the grandmaster pause for one second. She gazed at him, trying to reevaluate him.

"I can\'t say I get such surprises each day Willy," she slowly said before taking out a map out of her storage ring, "this can suffice. Can you mark down the places they are in?"

"I can only point out their places in a limited distance around," Arthur took the map and rapidly unfolded it. He pointed towards a spot before strangely a black dot appeared on the map.

"It\'s an enchanted one," the grandmaster simply said, "you can still sense their presence. What do you use? An array or a gear?"

"It\'s just me," Arthur hurriedly pointed out over fifty places," here, these are their hidden spots in the area I can sense."

She took the map and was alarmed by the large number of these lycans presented directly under her nose. "Do you say there are even more?" she gave him a deep glance trying to size him up again.

"I bet they are," Arthur firmly stated, "but the main problem isn\'t in them."

"Sure, my boys and girls can handle these rats easily," the grandmaster snapped her fingers before a giant mage appeared with tough features and big muscles.

"You know what to do," she simply said to him while handing the map to him. "What is the main problem Willy?"

"The mole," Arthur instantly said while giving that mage a skeptical glance.

"Don\'t worry, Roffer isn\'t someone to be suspected."

"Anyone is under suspicion," Arthur wasn\'t convinced with her words, "the last world being burnt down was done by the one who was supposed to protect it."

"Oh, so you are now asking me to mistrust everyone around me, right?" she even laughed before waving her hand to Roffer. The latter just nodded before vanishing.

\'Keep an eye on him,\' Arthur wasn\'t feeling any comfort with that man around, \'I don\'t like him.\'

\'Me neither,\' Gege said.

\'He is just a bodyguard,\' the golden dragon didn\'t agree, \'the main traitor will be someone very sneaky and won\'t be that easy to be spotted.\'

Arthur felt the words of the golden dragon seemed to be correct, but he didn\'t ask Gege not to follow that man using the tree.

After all everyone here was a suspected traitor until proved otherwise.

"What about the rest of the world?" Doaf suddenly asked, "are there any more of such lycans out there?"

"I won\'t let you go off with your team," the grandmaster however didn\'t give him the chance to continue asking. She knew like everyone standing around what he wanted.

"There are," yet Arthur answered nonetheless.

"How can you be so sure of that?" the master crossed her arms in a skeptical way, "you said your ability is limited."

"Yup, but these lycans didn\'t just confine themselves around this city of yours," Arthur didn\'t try to be polite here and instead he threw the next lie over their faces without even flinching. "They are arranged in an array."

"A… what?" the master seemed to be taken aback by what he just said.

"Their locations, their arrangements are something related to a strange array we met in the world we came from."

"What array?" the master turned around and focused her eyes over Amera.

If Amera and Doaf were idiots then they wouldn\'t have figured out what Arthur was trying to do here. So when the grandmaster turned to ask her, Amera knew without any question what she needed to say.

And as Arthur did, she lied.

"That array was something I never saw before," Amera slowly said, "it was a twin but not one array, right?" she asked Doaf who nodded in agreement but said nothing.

He didn\'t know what to be said here.

"In fact there is already one form of an array ready," Arthur on the other hand didn\'t let this chance slip through his fingers, "see, up there… all those forces that are standing doing nothing just above your protective dome… they are the first array."

As he pointed towards the sky and the barrier and what lies beyond, his simple and silly trick strangely gave off the results he wanted.

A diversion enough to support his claims.

Alongside Amera\'s and Doaf\'s words, and the presence of such a threat that seemed unlikely to be faced with the current forces, the grandmaster was deeply immersed in her own thoughts.

"\'If you may, grandmaster," yet Amera had to step in after a serious meaningful glance from Arthur, "that array was about to tear the world apart and summon a gate to something we feared to be… that deadly universe."

The eyes of the grandmaster wided open for a second before she regained her composure.

"We… had to run away from there before that array would tear the world apart and kill all of us," Doaf stepped in finally after linking all the dots, "we can\'t allow such a thing to happen here."

The grandmaster seemed alerted, however from all her years of life she knew she couldn\'t just trust a bunch of lies thrown over her face and make decisions based on them.

"I\'ll see through this," the grandmaster calmly said before snapping her fingers. Another giant mage came all of sudden, making Arthur wonder how she did get all those giants from.

"Go and check out the validity of this information," she took a small and transparent crystal that she held closely in her fist for a few moments and then gave it to the mage.

"Send me what you find every five minutes."

"Yes ma\'am," the mage said in deep respect before vanishing.

"Now all we have to do is wait," she smiled in a very amused way, "and again if what you said to me was wrong, your lives, all the three of you will be killed in my hands."

Arthur had to swallow his bitter saliva while wondering if that master was sane or had something wrong in her head.

As for the other two, they kept their fake calm while evading looking at each other. It was a very risky situation for all, yet to make the lie stand out they needed to perfect their act.

And hopefully what that grandmaster was looking for would prove their lie to be true, in a way or another.
