Chapter 1690
Finally, Silas revealed his request. Dragos was beyond the reach of society, and had survived on its own with its own clan lawsaway from the rest of the world. They never caused trouble to anyone... but that didn't mean they could have peace. Thedragon's saliva was their clan treasure which blessed their land, but its rarity and value had brought them a lot of danger. Overthe years, the number of greedy people that tried to attack the village had increased, each more scheming than the other. It wasclear that the dragon's saliva brought them more trouble than blessings, so the villagers of Dragos had to find something toprotect them if they wanted to survive.
Silas had been worried sick about such things until he met Stefan.
Although Stefan was rude, he was different from the others who had come to the village. Silas could tell he was a refined person,and that had given Silas hope. On that day, the guards at the memorial chamber had caught Stefan, tied him up, and left him inthe hall at the head of the village. The villagers raged, wanting him to be punished for what he had done to their beloved dragon-they wanted to cook him over a fire to pacify the dragon's wrath. Silas tried his best to dissuade them, and finally locked Stefanup in a dark room beside the memorial chamber. He figured someone would come to Stefan's rescue given his status, and whenthat happened, he could negotiate with them. As expected, Quinton and Xavier had come over with their men right away, andthey were more powerful than Silas imagined. The fact that they chose not to destroy the village to rescue Stefan made Silas feelthey could be trusted, and that perhaps they could have the power to protect Dragos and its villagers.
“My request might be a little unreasonable but... it's the price you have to pay for taking the dragon's saliva." Silas had stoppedbeing aggressive, and his old face looked desperate and hopeful. "If you agree, Dragos will live on fora very longtime." "That'sit?" Xavier asked, looking perplexed. He thought they would ask for a lot of money, but their request was rather simple. He feltquite sympathetic for the people of Dragos after hearing their story, so he didn't find the request unreasonable.
"If you say yes, we'll need your thumbprint for confirmation. If not... we'll risk our lives to fight you!"The surrounding villagers immediately tensed up when Silas said that, and gripped their weapons tightly.
"There's no need for that. This guy and | have men-they can stand guard at the foot of the mountains or at the head of the villageto protect you all throughout the year as long as you let Stefan go. It's completely free of charge." Xavier agreed quickly. It wasn'ttough for him to arrange such a thing.
"| don't object either." Quinton lookedat Silas. Compared to Xavier's casualattitude, he was more sincere. "I don'thave many men, but they're bold andloyal. | believe they'll do their best toprotect Dragos as long as | tell themto." "That's great." Silas sighed inrelief. The content is onNovelDrama.Org!

Quinton added, "But my sister mightneed to use the dragon's saliva givenher condition; | hope you can agree tothat." "If you both sincerely protectDragos, you'll be considered oursaviors. We might be a little rougharound the edges, but we're honestpeople. Yes, the dragon's saliva israre, and we get less than fiftymilliliters of it every year, but we'renot so stingy to keep it when it cansave our savior's life," Silas saidstraightforwardly.
