Feige looked at the gold in his hand and thought there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't see it with the detection spell. It reacts to spells in the same way as gold, using a variety of other metals to counter them, and it also shows the correct response. Feige believed that if he hadn't seen how it was taken from the golden dragon, he wouldn't have thought in advance that it was actually growing scales.

In other words, if these scales were to be sold, no merchant would deny that it was gold, and therefore it did have value.

The more something seems to be fine, the more likely it is that there is a problem. The fact that gold and soul can become the only two hard currencies in hell is not determined by chance, but must have withstood the test of time and various technological developments. Feige thought for a moment and walked to the cauldron next to the dragon circle. The food of the golden dragon was cooked in the cauldron, and it exuded a strong smell of alchemy.

"Those are alchemy gold, you devils also know this recipe, right?" the giant king Jiao Luo smiled slightly, he said: "We have added some other ingredients to the alchemy gold, which are not difficult to find, so these feeds don't cost a lot of money, especially compared to the output. Tell your lords that I can give you this recipe, don't worry. ”

Fitch was noncommittal, taking matters into his own hands and examining the liquid in the cauldron. Alchemical gold is famous in the underworld, and it is often used to deceive ignorant summoners from other worlds. Since the story of turning stones into gold is widely spread in the multiverse, it is common for people to ask the devils for the ability to turn stones into gold, or directly ask for a large amount of wealth, and at this time alchemy gold can appear. It is an interesting alchemy recipe that uses some of the properties of the Seven Layers of Hell to turn any object into gold, with the exact same properties, but only temporarily. Feige also often uses gold as a spell material in his own laboratory on the seventh floor of Hell, but this kind of experiment must be completed within half an hour, otherwise the "fake gold" will turn back into sand.

On the premise of not being further destroyed, this kind of alchemical gold can generally last for about half a year, so the devil often sends fake gold out in the form of works of art to reduce the chance of being dismantled and smelted. If there is no artistic cell, if the "gold" crown is melted into a liquid and prepared to be made into gold coins and bars, it will gradually turn into something like lead and iron from the inside, but the surface that comes into contact with the air will still look like gold. There will always be a day when the scam will be exposed, but generally no one will be able to hold on to that day. The devil will do everything he can to take the souls of the greedy to hell, leaving behind the remains that will only turn into sand and dust.

Thinking of this, he had a guess, but he needed to judge further. So Fei Qi grabbed a little golden dragon feed from the pot, dipped a drop in his tongue, and then used the devil's powerful senses to cooperate with the knowledge of alchemy to judge.

It is true that alchemy gold is the mainstay, and the rest of the things are not in the knowledge of the contract demon, and Fei Qi's own alchemy can't control other worlds, so he naturally can't identify it. He couldn't prove whether his guess was correct or not, but that didn't stop him from reaching out and dipping it a little more, deliberately poking his finger to the base of his tongue in a particularly exaggerated way, smashing it hard, and then frowning hard. There was as much confusion in his eyes as there was nervousness, so it seemed very real that the sudden realization that followed.

The Giant King's cheeks twitched for a moment, then changed to a smiling expression. Feiqi noticed the subtle change with his peripheral vision, and then said, "I'm going to check on those golden dragons, including their physical health...... Wait. ”

The word "wait" was exchanged for a snort from the king, and he could hear that he was a little dissatisfied. "Why is it so cumbersome? I don't have time to spend here with you all the time. Hurry up if you want to check!"

"If a thousand tons of gold were in front of me, I wouldn't have to bother. Feige muttered as he walked over to the golden dragon. A few younger-looking golden dragon heads didn't lift up, just humming and chirping to themselves. The older dragon snorted at Feiqi, showing a hint of anger, but still very restrained.

Feige walked straight to the dragon's side where the scales had been removed, and began to examine its wounds. He had only killed dragons before, but had not raised them, nor had he studied them systematically, so how could he understand the physiology of dragons? Especially since this golden dragon is unique and has not been mentioned in the important knowledge that hell has given to the devil, so he is completely pretending.

"Well, it's a bit different from what I thought, but it basically confirms what I thought. Fei Qi tasted the dragon's blood, took a sip on the ground, and then said to King Joluo with an unusually serious expression, "How long can these golden scales be kept?

"What do you mean by that?" King Jolow was still stiff-mouthed, but Feige was becoming more and more convinced that his guess was correct.

"Alchemical gold is a scam, and its outcome has never changed, it is only a matter of time before gold turns into sand. Feiqi flew up, floated to the height in front of King Giolo's eyes, and said: "Sooner or later, the two words determine the difficulty of the golden deception, and the dragons happen to be the race that has an extremely long lifespan, and even the legendary can live forever. Can these two qualities be combined? Some people will say that one is alchemy and the other is a living being, how can they be combined? But there is no shortage of strong people in the world who have both imagination and creativity. ”

"My lord said that he wasn't sure which method you had chosen, but he already had two ideas. One is a reference to the Alchemy Golem, an animated object that can continuously generate alchemy potions by devouring surrounding substances, such as acid, fiery glue, and thundering stones, and then use throwing or spraying these alchemical substances as a means of combat. Apply this Golem's method to the dragon's body and modify the dragon's organs to produce a more stable and long-lasting alchemy gold. Feige started editing, but his ability to show full confidence with great physical and emotional control — deception, in fact—was very convincing.

"The second method that the lord thought of was based on alchemy, using the dragon's blood and soul as additives to catalyze alchemical gold. In some backward parts of the multiverse, there are enhancements that transfer biological abilities to other creatures. Although alchemy flasks are not living creatures, they do have strange mob-like organisms such as activation potions, as well as alchemy gels (slime creatures whose body fluids are alchemical potions). As long as you carefully select and study it as an element......"

"Don't talk nonsense here!" King Jolo said as he resisted not wiping the sweat from his forehead, "It's useless to say this, these are gold, dragons can also produce gold, if you say they are not gold, show proof!"

"These demons present here can't detect alchemy gold, only our lord can detect it with the skills of the Deep Hell Purgatory, are you willing to go to hell with me to meet him?" Feiqi shook his head, and then said: "And you just asked for evidence? The soul contract does not need evidence, and your soul knows what you are doing." If the lord doesn't find out that you are cheating in it, then that's it, and you can boast of beating the devil in the contract transaction in the future. But since the Great Lord has pointed it out, then the Soul Contract will ask you if there is such a thing. It is you and your soul who have to prove your innocence, and you must first find a way to let your soul lie!"

"You're talking nonsense!" said King Jolo, "I've paid for it and fulfilled the contract......

"No, you're not done!" said Feiqi, "I leave completely with the gold and the golden dragon you proposed earlier, and can burn the soul contract in my hand in front of you, but the part of your soul will not disappear at the same time." You know very well that you have cheated in the contract bargain, and that your contract will continue to exist until your soul, and the souls of all your descendants, are paid to Hell. The devil can accept loss, but hell never will. The Great Lord will be waiting for you in Hell, as well as your sons, grandchildren, and children and grandchildren. Our income will be much higher than it is now. ”

King Jolo's face finally changed, and he couldn't tell whether it was iron blue or sallow, or the color of marble that could radiate. "Maybe I should go meet your master, he must be a very cunning bastard. ”

"My master has nothing to do with chaos and is not oviparous, but I will truthfully relay your assessment. Feige said: "Let's be realistic and solve the problem in front of us first." In fact, it is not a big mistake, but it is just necessary to re-evaluate the value of these gold and golden dragons. ”

"Gold is to be used, and though these flakes of gold—allow me to call it that way, to praise you for your improvement of alchemical gold—flake gold has only value for use and consumption, and its value of preservation may suddenly disappear over time, so it is to be discounted. A large part of gold's value is in store of value, not in trading and using it, so the discount on this part will not be low. At the same time, the flake gold we took must be disposed of as soon as possible, which is bound to affect its price. And with such a large amount, it is very likely that it will be circulated back into our own hands, which is another potential risk. If the devil who took the scale gold finds that there is a problem or suffers a loss, we have to take the risk. Risk is cost, and it is necessary to discount from value......"

Subsequently, Feige and King Gioro engaged in several rounds of-for-tat but harmonious and friendly negotiations, with rounds intervaled by Feige's "request for instructions from the lord". The negotiations were frank (each side said their own words), cordial (greeting each other's relatives), and there was a thorough exchange of views (everyone was loud and noisy). Eventually, the two sides constructively agreed on the basis of mutual respect (neither wanted to flip the table) in view of the same strategic goal (the soul contract was to be completed).

The scales were too large to be sold, and the devil took only sixty percent, and the four living golden dragons were now twelve, six for the old, and six for the young. These golden dragons account for 30% of the Giant Kingdom's holdings, which can be regarded as cutting off a large piece of meat. Therefore, the Corner King only allowed Feige to pick two of them, and the rest was designated by him in the dragon circle. All the methods of raising the golden dragon, and all the steps related to the process of making scale gold, are also kept by the devil and are not to be passed on.

That's the best thing to do. Feiqi closed his eyes and communicated with the "lord" for a moment, then nodded and flew in front of Yaka. "The lord agreed to this exchange and asked you to guarantee the safe delivery of the goods. ”

He blinked his right eye, and the eyeball pointed diagonally at the Giant King, and Yaka understood what he meant. As has been said before, after the devil completes the transaction, after freeing himself from the obligations of the contract, he unleashes the evil, and at this time the black eats the black. Although the rune giant's brain is not as good as the devil's aura, he has also done a lot of things like black eating black, so he still has to guard against it.

The giant showed the devil the moment of the method of breeding, which contained a very complete recipe for alchemical feed. Then, they loaded the scales with gold, drew the golden dragon and handed the reins to the devil. After inspecting it, Feige announced that the contents of the Soul Contract were complete, and the contract scroll burned to ashes in its hands.

King Jiaoluo felt a pang of relief all over his body, as if he had been lifted from a thousand-ton burden. He took a long breath in the sky, and then immediately launched an attack on Feiqi!

"All dragons, eat! this is a meal for you!"

The humpbacked giants who were in charge of raising the golden dragon all lay on the ground at once, and they called in unison to cast spells on the golden dragon in the circle. Gray-black smoke emerged from the dragon's scars, filling in the broken wings and broken claws. Instead of the self-untying chains, the smoke became reins and whips that drove them towards the Devils.

"Go, kill the hunchbacked giants, and leave the dragons alone. Fitch gave the order to Yakka, and then said something that made King Gioro furious: "I'll deal with this big stupid man who claims to be king." ”

The response to Feige's provocation came immediately, and a huge fist flew towards him with the glitter of runes. Feige shook his head and lifted a finger. He wasn't trying to block his fist with this finger, but behind the Giant King.

A thick arm came out from behind the king and then strangled his neck. The giant prince Tata tried to pull his father back, and said excitedly and "sincerely": "No! I can't fight like this! I will try to earn it back, and don't increase the loss!"

"You let me go, you idiot, won't you lose nothing if you kill the devil?" The two men kept bumping into each other on the walls of the cave, and the whole mountain began to shake violently.

"Father, no, the devil will attack our tribe endlessly because of this attack!" Tata had a very good reason, and he racked his brains to find a reason for his actions under the hint of his demonic ability, which was perhaps the most cerebral of his life. "Have you forgotten, the devil's lord already knows the gold and the golden dragon here, and maybe the location. The devils used to only plunder the flatlanders (humans and other low-lying races living in the plains), and in the future, they will completely target our tribe! There is no other way but to let them leave safely, and then continue to cooperate!

"You forgot...... Only...... Presentation...... Strength, only ...... There is respect. Jiao Luo couldn't breathe, he swung his elbow back hard, and finally stopped showing mercy. As a result, the shaking of the cave was even greater, and rocks began to fall.

Feige smiled sympathetically at the father and son who were caught in the fight, but was not surprised by the outcome. He implanted a temporary thought in the prince's consciousness, which lasted only until Feige left the world with a pay. He wants to make sure that the deal goes smoothly and stop anything that threatens the deal.

There is nothing wrong with this thought until the deal is completed, it is natural, correct, and reasonable, and no spell can detect it. However, the "transaction" in the prince's consciousness is different from the transaction of the soul contract, which ends with Feige and the devils leaving peacefully with their payment.

So, the prince dragged the king back, and Feige joined the slaughter of the hunchbacked giants. Those dragons should be dealt with by other devils, and Feige only wants to complete the battle with the best efficiency, and does not seek to be free of battle damage. And these golden dragons are also money!

If Yaka is in danger, she can still save her for the sake of her usefulness - at most.
