Breeding Dragons From Today

Chapter 488: The Pursuit of the Skeleton Clan. The Traitorous Royal Envoy!

“What’s the situation with the deathgod artifact you mentioned?”

The royal envoy’s jaw bones moved slightly, asking something that he was more interested in.

“I guarantee with my soul that if there’s even the slightest bit of a lie in what I’m about to say, the sovereign god will come again, and my soul will never be reincarnated!”

The skeleton archmage bowed his head respectfully, his posture humble. The royal envoy nodded in satisfaction, waiting for the skeleton archmage’s most crucial information.

“When my warriors were being slaughtered by that bastard with more than ten dragons, I led my people to resist with all my might...”

“Enough, enough!”

The royal envoy waved his hand angrily, his impatience almost overflowing.

“Tell me the main point!”

“Yes!”

The skeleton archmage lowered his head even lower. The flames in his head danced. His jaw opened and closed as he said, “The deathgod artifact is in the hands of the skeleton royal family. The rumor that has always been spoken of is true!”

“What?”

The flames in the eyes of the royal envoy suddenly soared!

“What you said... is true!”

“My oath is still effective, my Lord Envoy!”

“Hiss...”

The royal envoy sucked in a cold breath. Although he tried his best to suppress it, the flames in his eyes still betrayed the wild joy in his heart.

A deathgod artifact...

This might be a hot potato for a minor demigod like the skeleton archmage but, for an royal envoy like him, someone who had touched the threshold of becoming a highgod...

This was the key to becoming a royal!

A soldier who didn’t want to be a general wasn’t a good soldier. Similarly, a skeleton who didn’t want to be a royal wasn’t a good skeleton!

The royal emissary’s loyalty to the royal family almost instantly changed.

“What’s your name?”

“Eh?”

The skeleton archmage was surprised by the royal emissary’s question.

Why are you asking me this...

Are you offering me a reward?

The great skeleton mage could not hide the ecstasy in his heart when he thought of this.

“Your Highness, my name Is Ulrix!”

“Ulrix, get up.”

The royal envoy waved his hand, and an invisible force helped Ulrix, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

Ulrix said with a smile that he could barely hold back.

“Hehe, Ulrix, do you know what else we skeletons have to pursue in the endless river of life?”

“Hmm...?”

Ulrix was confused. Why did he suddenly talk about such things with him?

“I don’t know, Your Highness!”

Urix answered honestly.

“It’s status, Ulrix. It’s something that we couldn’t get even when we were alive!”

“Death has taken our lives. So many regrets disappeared in the instant that we died in this world. But in the Underworld, Ulrix, we have a new life!”

“Uh... Your Highness?”

Ulrix looked at the excited royal emissary who was waving his hands and feet in confusion.

What is he doing?

Is he trying to take me under his wing and instill his ideals and values in me?

Hmm... it wasn’t a loss to be able to work under the royal envoy. After all, those who were appreciated by the royal envoy wouldn’t have poor achievements in the future.

“From the moment we obtained our new life, we fell into the long river of time. In front of the Great Goddess of Time, our goals in life became laughable...”

“Indeed, your highness. The thoughts of those who wanted to gain status and power in life would vanish like smoke in the long river of time.”

Ulrix nodded and echoed the words of the royal envoy. Unexpectedly, the royal envoy shook his head with a disappointed expression.

“No, Ulrix, this is not right!”

“Well, what does your highness think of this matter?”

Ulrix did not dare to refute and only went along with the royal envoy’s flattery.

“Based on my experience of living for so long, we should return to the original starting point and pick up those desires that we have abandoned!”

“Without those desires, we would really be dead. In the sense of the soul, Ulrix, return to your nature and climb up, wanting to be in a high position.”

“Your Highness, you’re right!”

Ulrix respectfully flattered him.

“I plan to keep the deathgod artifact for myself, Ulrix!”

“What?”

Ulrix felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

“Your Highness... you mean... you want to betray the royal family... ?”

Ulrix did not think before he spoke in shock. The moment he blurted out this sentence, he regretted it.

What am I saying, idiot!

If the other party did not mean that, wouldn’t I be finished?

Normally, there would not be any royal emissaries who betrayed the royal family. They were all loyal servants to the royal family.

“That’s right, Ulrix, I want to betray the royal family!”

Unexpectedly, the royal emissary instantly admitted it without any hesitation.

“Uh... good decision!”

Urix quickly flattered him.

“I want to keep the deathgod artifact for myself. Once I get that... do you know what it means, Ulrix? I will directly rule the Underworld!”

As the royal envoy said this, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter. The entire space was shaken by his laughter until it was about to crack.

“Ulrix is willing to follow in your footsteps!”

Ulrix was a clever skeleton man. He knew that at this time, only by expressing loyalty could he survive. The royal envoy did not ask him for help, but ordered him. If he refused to join...

He would die!

As for loyalty to his royal family?

Let them go to hell. Were those things more important than his own life?

Hearing Ulrix swear loyalty to him, the royal envoy burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha... Ulrix, you... you still don’t understand? Hahahaha...”

“I don’t understand, Your Highness. I’m not very smart and stupid. I hope Your Highness can enlighten me.”

Ulrix did not dare to be negligent. Everything he said went according to the other party’s meaning, and he did not dare to be rebellious.

“Hahaha, you do know your place!”

The royal envoy nodded his head in satisfaction.

“I didn’t mean that it was very clear, Ulrix. I’ve been emphasizing it just now!”

“Wh... What?”

Ulrix was somewhat unable to grasp the other party’s meaning.

“Alright, I’ll repeat it again, Ulrix. I said just now that I want to monopolize the deathgod artifact.”

The royal envoy repeated.

“Mm, I understand what you mean. You’re betraying the royal family.”

“No, no, no, that’s not what I want to tell you. What I want to tell you is that I want to ‘monopolize’ the deathly artifact.”

The royal envoy emphasized the word “monopolize.”

“Monopolize...? Monopolize...”

Ulrix seemed to have understood something, and a sense of fear spread throughout his body.
