Chapter 137: Receiving The Gift

"Are you trying to imply that Dragons used to work with humans? Specifically, the dwellers of this island?" Elric asked the warm voice of Lapu-Lapu.

"We did. It was only under a certain agreement though as the Dragons are also after something that we have. In exchange, they offer protection to us against any invaders and enemies that would try to snatch the treasure away from us." The warm voice replied.

"Treasure?"

"The reason the giant Anuks are here is to get that certain treasure that has been passed down to us and had been under our protection ever since the time immemorial."

"And that item is?"

"That is something I do not know." The voice said with a quivering voice. An unsure gist between his words.

"You are not sure?"  Elric asked, confused.

"I am not sure. But we trust and follow the guidance of the spirits and the Babaylan."
