Chapter 72 Giant Dragon Egg! The Minister’s Ambition! A Disdainful Smile!

Sade suddenly raised his head and looked at the minister in disbelief.

"Really? Are you sure that's a Giant Dragon Egg?"

"Yes! How would I dare to deceive you, Master Mage?"

The minister answered solemnly, but Sade still did not believe him. How could a Giant Dragon Egg be so easily obtained? Although Sade wasn't a giant dragon, he had a powerful giant dragon mother, making Sade somewhat familiar with giant dragons.

Giant dragons were born with extremely low fertility because of their powerful physical strength. The more powerful a giant dragon was, the more difficult it was to give birth. This could be seen in Prescott.

Due to their low fertility, they would always be highly protective of the giant dragon eggs and even newly born baby giant dragons, regardless of any giant dragon in the giant dragon clan.

Of course, there were exceptions. For example, Prescott was a mixed breed when she was born. Therefore, she was not treated as a giant dragon by the giant dragon clan and was naturally chased out by the clan.

The giant dragon race was ranked above all other races in this world. It was undoubtedly the strongest among all races in terms of strength. Therefore, to snatch a Giant Dragon Egg from the hands of a giant dragon was more difficult than ascending to heaven. Besides, only adult female dragons could breed giant dragon eggs, not to mention anything else.

Adult giant dragons were existences that even the archmage did not dare to provoke. Yet, the minister said that he had a Giant Dragon Egg here. Wasn't this a joke? Could he even obtain a Giant Dragon Egg from a giant dragon with his strength?

Sade's heart was filled with disbelief, but a curious expression appeared on his face, "A Giant Dragon Egg? Where is it? Show me!" As he spoke, Sade waved his hand and directly removed the minister's control, signaling him to take the Giant Dragon Egg out. He wanted to see how the minister would take out a Giant Dragon Egg.

The minister was ecstatic as the physical restriction was removed because he realized that Sade was interested in the Giant Dragon Egg. This also meant that his life could be saved. He quickly walked into the hall. Sade followed although he was not worried that the minister would run away. The minister stopped when he reached the location of a secret door.

Looking at where the minister stopped, Sade thought to himself, 'Is this the place? This is indeed where the minister hid his treasures but does the Giant Dragon Egg exist?'

Sade was a little puzzled, but he hesitated again when he saw the energy materials on the secret door. After all, if he could use the energy materials, the treasure inside would not be so simple. However, just as Sade walked up and thought that the minister would open the secret door, the minister did not follow but looked at Sade with a flattering smile and said, "My Lord, the Giant Dragon Egg is in the secret underground room. However, I need a special key to open this secret door. Before I open it, my Lord, can you agree to one condition of mine?"

"Condition? How dare you talk about conditions with me?" Sade immediately smiled, hearing that the minister talked about conditions with him at this time.

He finally understood it. This minister planned to negotiate with him, which must be out of his mind. The minister was not aware of what kind of situation he was in now.

Looking at Sade's smile, the minister thought that Sade was willing to listen to his request. Suddenly, he became bolder, "My Lord, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will open the secret door of the underground chamber for you now, and I am willing to offer all the treasures in it to you for free. If you can help me take down the entire Kingdom of Herlock, you will be the Kingdom Archmage. I am willing to offer all the resources in the Kingdom of Herlock to you."

"If I don't agree?"

"You don't agree?" The minister revealed a confident smile, as he did not believe that Sade did not want to have a giant dragon as a Magical Pet. After all, that was a giant dragon. Once a giant dragon reached adulthood, its terrifying battle power was enough to destroy a human kingdom easily.

It was precisely why the minister had the idea of becoming the king. Although he had almost no talent in magic, this did not prevent him from having the determination to dominate the world. As long as he could hatch the giant dragon, he would be able to become the leader who reigns over all people.

This was why the minister had unintentionally obtained this Giant Dragon Egg from a dying Dragon Slayer in the early years. Only then did he resolutely set foot on this path of hegemony.

Moreover, he had spent a lot of money and effort to build this secret chamber shrouded in special materials to isolate the dragon aura from the Giant Dragon Egg. However, he did not expect that the incubation period of this Giant Dragon Egg would be so long. More than ten years had passed, but there was no reaction.

Seeing that he was about to complete the great cause of stealing the country but was directly interrupted by Sade halfway, the minister felt very unpleasant. His life was in Sade's hands now. So what if it was a Giant Dragon Egg compared to his own life?

He did not believe that Sade did not have any thoughts about the Giant Dragon Egg. This was an opportunity for anyone to reach the peak of his life. As a mage, how could Sade not be interested?

Because of this conviction, other thoughts arose in the minister's mind. Now that he was old, it was no longer realistic for him to dominate the world. At the very least, he wanted to become the king of the Kingdom of Herlock.

Sade was mighty. Just him alone was enough to scare away all the envoys of the Third Prince of the Magic Empire. This was enough to show how powerful Sade was. Since Sade was so powerful, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for the minister to become the Herlock King if he could obtain Sade's help?

The minister's idea was quite simple. He wanted to use this Giant Dragon Egg, and the perfect plan he proposed to tempt Sade to work for him. He believed that as long as Sade was a mage, no mage would be able to resist such a temptation.

After all, whether it was the Giant Dragon Egg, various magic treasures, or even the supply of a country's resources, these were not something an ordinary mage could use.

However, he did not realize that Sade was not an ordinary mage. In terms of wealth, not to mention that of the King's Great Basin, just the wealth that Sade possessed was easily comparable to a kingdom's wealth.

Sade did not lack all kinds of rare elemental treasures in terms of magic resources. He also did not lack magic power. Due to code magic, his magic path was completely different from the traditional magic path, and he was not in a hurry in this aspect.

Even in terms of influence, Sade's mother was Prescott, who had become an ancient dragon. She was now the king of the entire King's Great Basin. Would Sade need the resources of a tiny Kingdom of Herlock?

Therefore, in the minister's extremely confident face, Sade waved his hand and used water control to turn the water into a tough blue rope to tie the minister up.

The minister was confused, 'How is it possible? How can he refuse a Giant Dragon Egg? He can't open the door of the underground chamber without a special key. Yet, why did he refuse?'

The minister couldn't understand the reason. In his opinion, even if Sade wanted to take the treasure by force, he wouldn't be able to do it. The underground chamber was shrouded by unique materials. Even if Sade's power were at the archmage level, he wouldn't be able to open this underground chamber made of special materials.

In the face of his doubts, Sade stood at the position of the secret door.

"Impossible! You can't open this secret door. This secret door and even the entire underground room are made of special materials. Even if you are a powerful mage, you can't harm it. If you want to obtain the Giant Dragon Egg inside, you'd better agree to my request and cooperate!" The minister lay on the ground and shouted, trying to persuade Sade.

However, Sade no longer intended to pay attention to him, 'A special material? A powerful magic power that could not be broken? What does it have to do with me?' Sade's face showed a trace of disdain.

He touched the center of the secret door's lock. Sade glanced through the entire secret door, and his mouth slightly opened. In an instant, the special ability derived from the blood of the Celestials was activated instantly. An invisible force emitted from Sade's body and immediately covered the entire secret door.

Sade's eyes lit up, then the corner of his mouth rose slightly, and he bit down.

"Swoosh!"

It was like snow melting in early spring. In an instant, the secret door disappeared. What appeared before Sade's eyes was a narrow and dark stone staircase that led to the secret underground room.

"How is this possible?" The minister was utterly shocked.

He could not believe that the door of the underground chamber, which he had made with special materials, was so easily destroyed. For a moment, the minister could not accept it at all. He lay on the ground and roared hysterically.

Sade, disturbed by the minister's voice, waved his hand. Strings of changing water ropes directly tied the minister into a dumpling, blocking his mouth. The minister could only rage helplessly on the ground.

Sade didn't care about this at all. It was more like Sade didn't have the slightest pity for him. However, Sade did not want the minister to expose the matter here, considering the issue of the rumors. Therefore, he directly used water control to leave a small measure in the minister's heart and brain. These were all the results of Sade's efforts over the years. He was most familiar with the water control ability.

After the minister was sent to the Kingdom of Herlock to confirm all the crimes he did, Sade would directly detonate these small measures and instantly destroy the minister's brain so that he would not be able to spread any news about Sade.

After all, he had just left the King's Great Basin. He did not want to attract the attention of tens of thousands of people as soon as he came out. It would be awful.

Sade walked down the stone stairs and reached the lowest floor shortly after. He saw a gigantic stone chamber before him. The interior was inlaid with many azure elemental gemstones, emitting a blue halo that illuminated the entire space.

Sade immediately understood that this was probably the minister's treasure trove. He stepped in. However, the moment he entered, Sade immediately felt like passing through a fragile wall, as if his entire body had passed through a considerable layer of soap bubble wall.

Sade frowned as soon as he passed through. He felt that the air was filled with a highly dense water element.
