Chapter 486 - 375: The Not-So-Strong Blood Raven

Fortunately, the Black Knight’s attack this time did not result in any casualties, but Long Yi really experienced the madness of the Black Dragon Empire. The power that transcended ten dragon marks, if Black Knight had not had some weaknesses, it would have cost some price to defeat him.

This incident made Long Yi realize the urgency of the situation. The present Black Dragon Empire cannot be measured by conventional means any longer, to deal with them, all means must be utilized!

As for how the Wesley family handled its young master after this event, Long Yi was not interested. Neither was he interested in understanding how the emperor appeased the people, using the occasion to further unite them. He only knew that if the battlefield was filled with such creatures during a war, surrender would be a better option.

If you lag behind, you will be beaten.

Long Yi heard this sentence when he started school, and it remained true even in this world. Peace comes from power, a phrase Long Yi greatly admired from Cain, and with which he totally agreed. Without power, even an individual could not stand firm in this world, let alone a country.

Okay, bastards, you brought this on yourselves!

With the purifying power of Tears of Light, Dandi’s friend successfully shed her Yaksha image, completed the final evolution, and became human. Regarding her dressing style, she decisively chose to imitate Dandi’s image, and Long Yi, incapable of criticizing, let her be. However, it was strange that her appearance was exactly like Dandi’s.

"Ah, didn’t I tell you? All the Blood Ravens sent to Rongka are all Dandis." Dandi replied when Long Yi asked.

It turned out that the Blood Raven clan, although fairly large, could not withstand consumption at Rongka’s hands. In the end, the Blood Ravens found a way from the knowledge left by the Giants.

Cloning.

Find a volunteer and use the power of the Endless Sea of Blood, coupled with the technology of the Giants, to clone countless avatars.

Dandi was this volunteer.

The cloned Dandis had the barest of intellects, but with the and inherited knowledge, they could swiftly transform into full-fledged Blood Ravens over an extreme period of time. Over all these years, the Blood Ravens have relied on this method to avoid extinction.

"So, strictly speaking, I should be Dandi 233. And my friend, or rather, my sister, is Dandi 275," said Dandi.

"So, essentially all the Yakshas out there, are your sisters?"

"Yes, that’s it!"

"So if I can liberate them from the Mire of Hell, they will stand by me?"

"Of course! Once freed from the Mire of Hell’s contagion, their self-awareness will awaken, and then, with their consciousness restored, they will naturally stand with us! Because there is nothing more reliable than the Giants!"

Long Yi couldn’t help but smile, the cunning Blood Ravens didn’t mention anything about loyalty, only their self-interest, which sounded more reliable than sudden loyalty.

"This time, including me, a hundred Yakshas have been sent and are currently on standby in the Imperial City of the Black Dragon Empire. Due to Yake’s distrust of us, creatures from Hell, after parasitizing humans, he made us stay in the warehouse at the lowest level of the Imperial City. The place is completely isolated from the outside world, totally unknown to others. The other squad that Rongka lent to Yake is stationed in the Imperial Palace, serving as his bodyguards."

Dandi 275 said.

"A hundred people." Long Yi’s eyes lit up.

The continuous attacks on the White Dragon Empire by the Black Dragon Empire pushed Long Yi’s annoyance to the extreme, and now, shouldn’t it be time to agitate the other side a bit?

"I have a small question." Ai Lin suddenly said.

"What?" Both Dandis asked.

"You guys don’t seem to have any combat power."

At Ai Lin’s words, both Dandis blushed simultaneously.

Even in Hell, the Blood Ravens aren’t a particularly combative race. They have the advantages of intelligence, large numbers, and agility, but they lack in combat ability. After becoming Yakshas, most of them just parasitize creatures to carry out reconnaissance missions. Once the mission fails, their fighting style, which depends only on claws and the power of Hell’s contagion, can hardly win in any Plane.

Having now evolved into human form, this entirely new form has deprived them of their fighting possibility.

"If we teach you combat skills, would you be willing to learn?" Long Yi asked.

"This... wouldn’t be good, would it?" The two Dandis exchanged glances, hesitation apparent on their faces.

Long Yi knew what they were worried about. In the beginning, when Rongka transformed them from Blood Ravens into Yakshas, he didn’t improve their combat power in any way. The only reason for this was that the Blood Ravens were too clever and cunning. Thanks to the help of the Giants, the Blood Ravens possess rare wisdom in the entirety of Hell. If they are given power, no one knows what they will do behind the scenes. In fact, Rongka knew about the Blood Ravens’ secret plan of cloning themselves. This ability, which even Rongka himself doesn’t possess, was developed by the Blood Ravens. On one hand, Rongka, who supports Hell’s pacifism, doesn’t need such technology. On the other hand, Rongka believes that the technology of the Blood Ravens is his own, and if he needs it in the future, he can always take charge.

So, it was precisely because of its fear of the Blood Raven’s intelligence that Rongka greatly restrained its power.

However, Long Yi had no such fear.

But even if he did, Long Yi would still decide to take a gamble. On one hand, the pressure from the Black Dragon Empire drove him to search for more external aid. In the meantime, his mutual hatred and repulsion with the Blood Ravens were enough to tie them together. Even if their loyalty wasn’t yet guaranteed, mutual manipulation seemed like a straightforward means.

As Long Yi evaluated the pros and cons here, the two Dandis were already touched.

The Blood Ravens, possessing the most exceptional wisdom in Hell, had been frequently bullied over the years. No one has ever treated them this well, not only helping them in achieving their long-desired ultimate evolution but also willing to teach them combat techniques!

They shared a connection between their hearts and almost shared the same thinking. With their collective sentiment, they held a great deal of affection for Long Yi.

"Little Zi, is there any problem?" Ai Lin asked softly.

"No problem, you see when they see Brother Long, their eyes are almost gleaming. Don’t worry, there will be no problem," Little Zi said.

The important task of teaching the combat skills fell upon Ai Lin. As a girl with wings, she was more suitable than Long Yi. Honestly, even though Long Yi’s personal strength was top-notch, he wasn’t a good teacher. Ai Lin was an excellent student because she could figure out things herself. Long Yi, being aware of this, directly assigned this important task to Ai Lin. As it turned out, Long Yi made the right decision. Ai Lin was far more meticulous and better at teaching than Long Yi. By this time, Long Yi had seen the Blood Ravens’ intelligence that crossed over the plane. Ai Lin had inherited Long Yi’s idea of confronting the enemy head-on, and yet, on the second day, the two Blood Ravens had already applied the combat techniques taught by Ai Lin in various dark and cunning corners.

Alright, anyway, their enemy was the Black Dragon Empire, who the hell cared?

It had been five days since the Black Knight’s attack. The fight by the Black Knight had become the new hot topic in the Imperial City. Since nobody was injured, people were talking about it with smiles on their faces. Only Long Yi knew how scary it would have been if the Black Knight had ignored him and rushed into the crowd.

Whenever Long Yi walked in the streets, he could see people who paid their respects to him. All of these people genuinely liked this young man with a large stature. If not for him, the White Dragon Empire would have fallen into chaos long ago. Regardless at any moment, a real hero is always loved by the people.

At this time, Long Yi had just finished a series of purchases and was on his way back to the villa. Suddenly, a young man rushed towards him.

"Mr. Long Yi! Hello, are you free now?"

The young man looked familiar to Long Yi.

"Are you from the Eye of White Dragon?" Long Yi recalled that at a previous meeting, this clumsy young man rushed up to him, saying that his boss wanted to meet.

"Ah! It’s really Mr. Long Yi, you remember me even though we’ve only met once!" The young man was very thrilled. Obviously, compared to that time, he was a lot more polite now.

"What is it this time? Your boss wants to see me again?" Long Yi laughed.

"Hehe, this time I’m here on behalf of my boss, inviting you to the Eye of White Dragon meeting that’s to be held tonight." The young man said.

"Eye of White Dragon meeting? What’s that for?" Long Yi was puzzled.

"As you know, Mr. Long Yi, we, the Eye of the White Dragon, are a non-profit think tank independent of the state. Our members include officials, businessmen, who are all secretly involved in the Eye of White Dragon. Our purpose is to help this country become stronger. You should also know that the stronger the country is, whether it’s officials or businessmen, they will all benefit from it. This is the meaning of our existence. Every first day of the week, in the evening, we have a meeting - the emperor’s meeting is during the day, and ours is at night. We analyze the emperor’s intentions, the direction of the current world situation and then make plans." The young man explained to Long Yi.

"What does it have to do with me?" Long Yi was puzzled.

"Mr. Long Yi, you’re being modest. If we talk about influence in this country excluding the emperor, it might be you." The young man said.

Long Yi could not help but smile.

In terms of influence, Long Yi admitted. But if it came to making national plans and policies, he didn’t think he was capable of doing so. He found himself reasonably smart, but he really wasn’t interested in this kind of things that required calculations. Things like thinking were the most annoying, resolving issues with punches was so simple and effective, wasn’t it?

"I don’t really want to go," Long Yi said with a chuckle.

"Our boss said, even if you just go and listen for fun, it will only be beneficial and not harmful to your future planning," the young man continued to say.

Long Yi thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

Scratching his head, he thought about it.

"Okay, where do I go tonight?" Long Yi asked.

"Ah, we will send a car to pick you up tonight. Thank you for accepting our invitation! Thanks a lot!" The young man shouted excitedly and ran away without looking back.

Well, it seemed to be a secret for them. (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote and recommend at qidian.com, your support will be my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
