Chapter 149: End of the Assembly
“An alliance... with dragons? With the Dragon Lord, no less?”
“I-is that even possible?”
As soon as Ember finished speaking, the black mages stirred once again.
Not that they were typically chatty—their usual role was to sit silently, cowed by the pressure of the executives and the Great Shadow. But today’s gathering had been full of unprecedented surprises.
“Haven’t the dragons remained neutral for hundreds, no—thousands—of years?”
“......”
“Would beings like that... especially the most noble, the Dragon Lord... really ally with a white mage?”
The murmuring grew louder until the Shadow Witch posed the question with a voice steeped in skepticism.
“Yes. I believe they will.”
Standing in the center of the room, Ember replied with unwavering confidence.
“And the reason?”
“Because dragons are proud and mighty beings. They wouldn’t form alliances with anyone weaker than themselves.”
