Chapter 143: 141 Lait, the New King_l

Translator: 549690339

Several humans suddenly appeared in the land of the Soaring Dragon, surrounded by monsters, which was obviously not a good sign.

So, these guys were knocked out by Krom and locked up.

Longfang and Krom planned to deal with them after Otto returned.

However, Otto was a bit puzzled.

Didn’t this Orc come to the Land of the Soaring Dragon with his family? It was said that his wife and daughter were living in the inner city, and Longfang had even arranged a nice residence for them.

So, why was he running around outside in the middle of the night?

Otto didn’t ask, and Krom wouldn’t mention it on his own.

Were they really expecting this powerful Dragonborn Beastman to say that he was going through an embarrassing mid-life crisis right now…

Accepting the Dragonborn Transformation ritual and becoming stronger was a good thing.

But at the same time, because he became more robust and his body size increased, he was temporarily alienated by his beloved wife.

At least until he could accurately control his growing strength, he was forbidden to enter his home.

Just as he was squatting miserably in front of his house in the middle of the night, waiting for daylight, those unlucky people happened to appear right under Krom’s eyes.

If Otto didn’t inquire, he wouldn’t naturally reveal this miserable experience.

Currently, only Longfang knew about his embarrassment, but the single Quilboar had some difficulty understanding his predicament.

Regarding these humans, Otto was very interested.

Soon, several Lizardmen dragged in a few haggard-looking humans.

These guys indeed looked like the Lait people.

Tall, with dark eyes, thick brown beards and body hair, wearing shabby leather clothes.

As Otto examined them, these Lait men of varying ages also saw Otto.

Damn, it was a freaking huge dragon!

Immediately, some timid fellows were scared and collapsed to the ground, as most inexperienced people couldn’t tell the difference between evil dragons and kind dragons.

In their eyes, as long as it was a dragon, it was a monster that ate people. Although Otto was probably somewhere in between the two, neither good nor bad.

However, there was one exception among these people.

A large man with a bare chest, sporting an ax-shaped mark on his chest, stared disdainfully at the cowards nearby.

This caught Otto’s attention.

“Humans, how dare you trespass into my territory!”

With Otto’s crimson eyes fixed on these bearded men, his voice was deep and terrifying, “Speak your intentions, or you will be torn apart and devoured by my minions!”

Most of the people were scared speechless by Otto, but the only seemingly

calm tall man sneered at Otto, “Silver Dragon, your good days are coming to an end; the great New King will soon sweep away all things around Lait.

If I were you, I would seize the time to let us go, then run to Serbia, kneel at the feet of the New King, kiss his toes and beg for his forgiveness!”

Had the kid been scared out of his wits?

Feeling annoyed, Otto waved his dragon claw, and the Lizardmen took away the foolish talker and the terrified guys beside him.

Once Shasharu returned, they would hand over these guys to him for a proper interrogation.

Somewhat embarrassed, Longfang immediately knelt in front of Otto and said, “Sorry, Your Majesty, I didn’t expect… ‘

“It’s fine…

Feeling a bit speechless, Otto lay on the Blackstone Platform, showing that he didn’t mind.

At this moment, Krom suddenly spoke up, “Your Majesty, about the Lait New

King that he mentioned, perhaps I can provide some intelligence.”

Although Otto didn’t care much about a human monarch, since his lap dog had run onto his territory, it was only appropriate to learn a little more.

With Otto’s permission, Krom began, “Before joining the Soaring Dragon Legion, I was a slave in the Serbia Colosseum of the Lait Kingdom.”

“Colosseum?”

Otto’s eyes lit up, feeling that this Orc’s background was quite similar to his own.

This made Otto suddenly feel that the Orc, whom he had only met a few times, seemed much more familiar.

Hearing his master’s words, Krom thought Otto was very interested in the Colosseum.

So he began to explain, “The Colosseum is the favorite entertainment venue of the Lait people, almost every town has different scales of Colosseums, and even some sparsely populated villages are no exception.

Even watching a few guard dogs fight could get them sitting on the ground, watching all afternoon.”

On this point, Otto could also relate.

Just like those stupid people in Kor Town, even though they didn’t have much money, they still went to the Colosseum to have fun.

As for Krom, although he said he was a slave in the Colosseum.

But compared to monsters like Dire Wolves, there probably wasn’t much difference; both were part of the Colosseum’s performance.

After all, to most humans, Orcs were just another type of monster.

There was not much to discuss about the Colosseum, and Krom quickly continued, “The reason I could escape the Colosseum and even leave Serbia with my wife and daughter to come to the Land of the Soaring Dragon was actually all thanks to the Lait New King.”

Without Otto asking more, he continued, “At that time, the New King had just launched a military coup, personally killed his elder brother, Grand Duke Lait, and then declared the Lait Kingdom as history, proclaiming himself the New King and changing Lait to a kingdom.”

It sounded like a ruthless and ambitious figure.

Suddenly, Otto asked, “Do you know much about the Lait Kingdom?”

“About as much as an ordinary citizen…”

Krom could only give an uncertain answer.

At Otto’s request, Krom began to recount everything he knew about the Lait country.

Just as he said, these were things any ordinary citizen would know.

Firstly, it was a small coastal country. Besides being adjacent to Nolan Forest and the Sulfur Mountains in the east, it had the abundant Harvest Bay in the west.

Additionally, Lait bordered three other similarly sized countries, Tal, Dilant, and Mido, all of which were vassals of the Farrand Kingdom.

None of these countries were very affluent, and the infertile coastal lands could hardly grow any crops, yet they still had to pay taxes to Farrand.

As a result, many adventurers would often take their chances in Nolan Forest and the Sulfur Mountains.

Or they would go out to sea and dabble in piracy; the merchant ships of the Castilla Empire across Harvest Bay were their favorite big fish.

Since the Dragon Disaster appeared, most adventurers had also swarmed to become pirates.

Poor and rugged places produce rogues, and Lait was a rather chaotic kingdom as it was.

Their monarchs hardly ever had a normal accession, and Grand Duke Lait had also seized power after personally killing his father..
