Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 486 - 388: Betrayal!

"Esteemed One, have you deciphered Dragon Language Magic?"

After the protagonist instantly cast the Dragon Language Magic to bind those giant dragons, all the human mages became excited.

Especially the mages from the two initial families who interacted with the protagonist, the Earth Element and Fire Element, all gazed at the protagonist with fiery eyes full of expectation.

During the protagonist’s time in the Magic World, it was mainly these two families’ people who were constantly alongside him. They had the closest relationship with the protagonist.

If the protagonist truly deciphered Dragon Language Magic, they, being close at hand, might be among the first to learn Dragon Language Magic.

Although practicing Dragon Language Magic might offend the Giant Dragon Race, as long as they learn quickly, they become the rightful heirs of Dragon Language Magic.

Then, instead of them, they would accuse the Giant Dragon Race of stealing the secrets of Dragon Language Magic.

In doing so, their attacks on Dragon Island and the seizure of the Giant Dragon Race’s wealth would become justified.

Other families, although slightly slower to react, were also not willing to lag behind.

They didn’t even give the Earth and Fire families a chance to speak, directly drowning the protagonist with flattery.

"Esteemed One, our Water Element Mola Clan would heavily reward you to serve our family. As long as you agree, you can enjoy the treatment equivalent to a Patriarch."

"The Mola Clan is really laughable. You can’t even see yourselves for what you are, yet you dare aspire for the esteemed one to serve your family!"

"True! The Mola Clan is utterly ridiculous. They don’t even consider the esteemed one’s cultivation and status but shamelessly claim to offer him Patriarch-level treatment. Is their Patriarch’s treatment even high?"

"Esteemed One, the Mola Clan is not sincere. Our Hongli Clan is the most earnest; if you join our clan, you will be our ancestor. We can even change our surname to yours!"

These words left everyone around stunned.

Everyone looked at the Hongli Clan speaker in shock, captivated by his shamelessness.

The Hongli Clan wasn’t bothered.

They looked at the surrounding strange glances, not ashamed but rather pleased.

These fools simply don’t understand what it means now that Dragon Language Magic has been deciphered.

Among all magical families in the Magic World, the Hongli Clan can only be considered a mid-tier family.

Precisely because their standing has been mediocre, they lack any manner of dignity.

The family motto of the Hongli Clan is "Realism, Pragmatism."

They never engage in illusions; their every action is solely for the growth of the clan and to claim more rights and wealth.

Just like this time.

Before the protagonist, it wasn’t as if no one attempted to decipher Dragon Language Magic.

But everyone failed.

If the Hongli Clan can master this power before anyone else, they could absolutely leap into becoming the top magical family in the Magic World.

Though improbable, what if?

What if the Hongli Clan monopolizes all resources related to Dragon Language Magic?

Then the Hongli Clan would be the new Giant Dragon Race.

The previous generation’s Giant Dragon Race enjoyed tens of thousands of reverence and wealth.

Now, this immense luck has befallen the Hongli Clan.

So, don’t just change the surname; even altering the entire clan’s name is welcomed.

Thinking this, the Hongli Clan mages looked at the protagonist with even hotter eyes. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

As long as the protagonist nods, they would immediately kneel and call him their ancestor.

However, they underestimated the others.

In the presence of so many mages, intelligence wasn’t exclusive to the Hongli Clan, nor was shamelessness.

Despite the Hongli Clan being a mid-tier family in the Magic World, there were numerous small and micro magical families.

If the Hongli Clan could shamelessly surrender, those smaller families could do the same.

As soon as the Hongli Clan finished speaking, during the pause as they awaited the protagonist’s response, a crowd had already knelt before the protagonist.

"Esteemed One, our Hill Clan is also willing to recognize you as our master!"

"Our Fahier Clan is willing to become your vassals, obeying your commands henceforth!"

"Our Boli Clan is willing to recognize you as the master; we will be as loyal as dogs, faithful with no second thoughts!"

The Hongli Clan, hearing the myriad voices, was stupefied.

After quite some time, the Hongli Clan members turned red with anger, trembling with fury.

"You are shameless!"

Upon hearing this, those people immediately sneered.

"Your Hongli Clan dares call us shameless?"

"Exactly! You Hongli Clan led the shamelessness, so if anyone is shameless, it’s you!"

"The Hongli Clan members are not only shameless but also a bunch of hypocrites!"

"Boycott the Hongli Clan; they are the shame of the Magic World!"

The Hongli Clan, known for their eloquence, was overwhelmed by the sheer numbers.

They only had a few mouths, facing dozens.

With so many simultaneously condemning them, the Hongli Clan members almost drowned in spittle.

Eventually, the Hongli Clan reluctantly looked to the protagonist.

Ultimately, they cared about their dignity and couldn’t bring themselves to utter such base words as calling the protagonist their slave.

But they weren’t entirely without cards to play.

Despite being a mid-tier family in the Magic World, the Hongli Clan lacked neither strength nor resources.

The key point is, the Hongli Clan holds a pivotal position.

Families stronger than the Hongli Clan wouldn’t adopt such a shameless attitude as the Hongli Clan.

Smaller families, with a better attitude than the Hongli Clan, couldn’t match their resources.

So if the protagonist chooses, the Hongli Clan indeed stands as the best partner.

"Esteemed One, what is your decision?"

The Hongli Clan looked expectantly at the protagonist.

Hearing this, others also turned their gaze toward the protagonist.

Everyone’s eyes gleamed, as if waiting for a fateful decision.

Except, the foul mood belonged solely to the downcast giant dragons.

Although they long knew the human mages held biases against them, there were even those who opposed them.

However, given the dragons’ formidable power, they never regarded these human mages.

Now, seeing all human mages eager to learn Dragon Race Magic and eyeing them greedily, these dragons finally felt fear.

"Don’t kill us; we’re willing to submit too!"

Dragons are inherently cunning, hardly stronger in integrity than these human mages.

These dragons lack the proud spirit of the Four Seas Dragon Race, and adaptability defines their nature.

Originally, dragons simmered with killing intent at the protagonist’s use of Dragon Language Magic, but realizing the human mages wanted them dead, they immediately betrayed Dragon Island.

"Great Dragon God above, we vow to serve you as our master!"
