At this moment, he also realized that generally speaking, the Life Contract is unchangeable. After years of modifications by the human race, the Life Contract has become entirely biased towards humans. As long as a contract is signed, although it is nominally a Life Contract, it is actually not much different from a Slave Contract, just with a more pleasant name.
However, it is not completely unchangeable. If there is a significant disparity in strength between the two parties, the contract can change according to the difference in power.
It can turn what was originally a human master into a slave, making the dragon race the master.
But this is all based on a situation where the gap is very large. The current contract has been refined over countless years and must have several times the strength difference to effect any change. Otherwise, it would be impossible.
Could it be that this Silver Dragon Princess before him actually possesses second-tier strength? That’s impossible; the Silver Dragon Princess is just beautiful and does not have such high power.
Especially since he is merely an Alchemist, the Duke Realm would not assign him a Silver Dragon Princess whose strength exceeds expectations. Could there be some problem here?
At this moment, he could not afford to think too much. Fortunately, the Life Contract is inherently biased towards humans; changing the Life Contract requires several times more power.
His consumption far exceeds that of the other party. As long as he persists like this, he will eventually achieve victory.
While he was thinking, seeing that both sides were at a stalemate, the Silver Dragon Princess suddenly underwent a transformation. A flash of white light appeared, and the original Silver Dragon Princess vanished. In front of Daniel stood a giant dragon with two horns, a body like a long snake, and four claws.
It moved its body, coiling around Daniel, wrapping around him several times before opening its mouth to bite at his shoulder, which Daniel hurriedly grabbed.
The previously stagnant contract began to shift entirely towards the Silver Dragon Princess, quickly about to penetrate Daniel's mind and successfully sign.
Daniel was startled; upon seeing her body, he instantly understood. No wonder such a transformation occurred; this was no mere Silver Dragon Princess, but clearly a Holy Dragon, the most powerful and mysterious king of dragons.
The two dragons obtained by the Dragon Rider World Guardian were also Holy Dragons. Otherwise, how could he have succeeded?
How did this situation arise? He wanted the Silver Dragon Princess, how did it turn into the Holy Dragon? The gap between the two is just too large.
Suddenly, he had a flash of insight and shouted, "Rebel, you are a rebel."
Where there is oppression, there is resistance. The Dragon Rider Clan treats the dragons, who are originally at the top of the food chain, as slaves. Such cruel oppression will naturally provoke the strongest resistance from the dragons.
However, this world is dominated by the Dragon Rider Clan, which can easily suppress the dragons. Any sign of rebellion is met with death. After countless years of bloody warfare, all rebellious dragons have been killed, leaving only those who have submitted to humanity.
Of course, this is only on the surface. The dragons are unwilling to become slaves and secretly resist, wanting to overthrow human tyranny and allow their kind to live freely. This is the rebel force.
Theoretically, all dragons can be considered potential members of the rebel force. However, due to the constraints of the Life Contract and human oppression, most dragons have no choice but to submit to humanity.
But this does not prevent them from secretly aiding the rebels, placing agents among humans, and through the Life Contract turning those who should be their masters into slaves, becoming part of the rebel force and continuously relaying information about humanity to the rebels.
As for why he encountered that situation, it’s simpler. Alchemists do not possess particularly strong powers and are easier to control. Moreover, he is talented and has the potential to become the president of the Imperial Alchemist Association in the future, making him one of the most important figures in the empire. Turning him into a slave is certainly much better than others.
The Holy Dragon sneered, "You guessed it; so what?"
Daniel was left speechless. Just like her, so what? If he were truly an Alchemist, he would indeed be unable to escape from a Holy Dragon's control.
In terms of equal levels, a Holy Dragon is an invincible existence; challenging higher levels is easier than drinking water. Unfortunately, he is not an ordinary Alchemist.
No longer able to hide it, his internal magic power erupted completely. Under the astonished gaze of the Holy Dragon, he gradually shifted the contract's content in his favor. No matter how much the Holy Dragon struggled, it could not change this fact.
In the end, he could only helplessly watch as the contract seeped into his body, signing this humiliating agreement bit by bit.
With a painful groan, the contract was completed, and the Holy Dragon could no longer maintain her form, transforming into a human but without any clothes, revealing her graceful curves.
"It’s impossible, this can’t be. How could an Alchemist be stronger than me?" The Holy Dragon pointed at him.
"There’s nothing impossible."
"No, you’re not human at all. For so many years, the Dragon Rider Clan has signed contracts with my kind, and there hasn’t been a pure human in ages. Even a lowly slave has a trace of dragon blood within them; the only difference is how much.
But I don’t sense even a hint of dragon blood in you. You’re not human, or you’re not from this world. You’re from another world. What are you doing here?"
Daniel was taken aback; he didn’t expect her to guess the answer so quickly. The Dragon Rider World had never interacted with other worlds; how could she know?
However, thinking about it, she was the Holy Dragon, the noblest existence of the dragon race, extremely rare in number. Even among the rebels, she held a high status, so it was possible for her to know about the existence of other worlds.
Daniel secretly felt relieved. Before entering, he had blocked any messages inside to prevent those three old geezers from spying on him. Otherwise, if they had discovered the Holy Dragon, there would have been no good outcome; he wouldn’t even have been able to escape.
The Holy Dragon realized his origins, put on some clothes, and turned to rush outside. She had to convey this message.
The conflict between the Dragon Rider Clan and the dragon race was merely an internal conflict that could still be eased. However, the appearance of someone from another world here was definitely not a good thing. Since he had discovered her, even if it meant exposing her whereabouts, she had to get the message out.
"Stop right now!"
At Daniel's shout, she had to halt her movement under the despairing gaze of the Holy Dragon.
This was the cruel nature of the contract; no matter how much it was a Life Contract, after being modified by the Dragon Rider Clan for so many years, it had completely tilted in favor of humans and bore no difference from a Slave Contract. Without her master’s command, she couldn’t leave at all.
Holy Dragon temporarily stabilized, and Daniel felt a headache as he contemplated what to do next.
Now that his identity was exposed, he could only find a way to subdue her; this was the only chance he had to continue lurking. Otherwise, once his identity was revealed, he would be left with no choice but to permanently flee within the world.
At that point, it would be questionable whether he could even survive, let alone complete his mission.
"Well, I think we can talk. Although I come from another world, it was actually just by chance that during an experiment, a black hole swallowed me and brought me here."
"You think I would believe your words?" Holy Dragon looked at him with disdain.
"The truth is as I said. Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter. What I want to tell you is that as a member of the resistance, if you expose any information, your fate won't be much better. As a Holy Dragon, you are full of treasures. If they find a way to break the Life Contract, they will definitely arrange for a new master for you. At that time, you will become nothing more than a breeding machine, continuously giving birth to the infinitely potential Dragonblood Nobility for humanity.
If they cannot break the contract, whether the resistance has to pay a price to redeem you or uses you as bait to set traps against the resistance, it will deal a significant blow to them. We should have a good talk."
Holy Dragon fell silent. She knew that Daniel was not speaking empty words; such situations had occurred before. As the most mysterious existence among dragons, Holy Dragons were extremely rare and served as leaders of their kind.
Once, a Holy Dragon was captured and it took an enormous price to redeem her. On the way back, she was attacked by humans, resulting in the sacrifice of dozens of elders before she managed to escape.
The cost was painfully high. Even for the sake of her own kind, she could not expose her identity.
"What do you want to discuss?"
Seeing an opportunity, Daniel smiled. "It's quite simple. I won't reveal your identity if you don't interfere with my life. How does that sound?"
What other choice did she have? The giant dragon thought for a moment and could only agree. The resistance had paid a considerable price to allow her to blend into human society, intending to pull a future president of the Imperial Alchemist Association into their ranks to relay messages for them. Who would have thought she would encounter Daniel, getting herself caught in this situation instead and having him hold leverage over her?
"Sure, but don't hinder me from delivering messages, and you must cooperate with me in gathering information."
"How can that be? My identity cannot be exposed. What if the other party catches on?"
"Then don't blame me. You don't really think that just because of a contract, you can control a Holy Dragon, do you? I have plenty of ways to deal with it."
After some argument, Daniel eventually agreed. If he had time, he would cooperate with her actions, but who could know when that time would be? Perhaps tomorrow; tomorrow and tomorrow, there are always tomorrows.
For a moment, both sides stared at each other in silence. Daniel stood up to get a drink of water, while Holy Dragon watched him warily and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I'm just getting a drink of water. My name is Daniel. By the way, what's your name?"
"Catherine. You can call me Catherine."
"Great, Catherine, let's tidy up a bit before we head out. Make sure not to let anyone see through our disguise."
"Don't worry. Since I dare to impersonate the Silver Dragon Princess, I naturally have the confidence not to reveal any flaws."
Only then did Daniel feel relieved. He tidied up the messy room caused by their earlier fight after signing the contract and walked out with Catherine.
