Chapter 17: A Desperate Shot

Charlie handed over the chairmanship of the meeting to the City Hall Administrator Scotch.

She left the meeting hall of the municipal district with a calm face.

The black dragon got rid of its lethargic state.

Thankfully, the boring meeting that tormented his spirit was finally over.

Lee's source is from a mercenary.

The big businessman Edson promised him if he could bring the news.

Then, he will give him a thousand gold coins.

Don't underestimate the thousand gold coins.

Ordinary mercenaries, with such a sum of money, can retire early.

Charlie walked to the reception room.

Met the extremely tired mercenary ranger.

She had an impression of the man.

It's the old man in Hydson's caravan.

"What the hell is going on?" Charlie sat down, chin propped up with one hand.

Lee poured a glass of water for the tired ranger.

The ranger, who had grown a lot of stubble, took it and drank it all in one gulp, and then he felt a little more relaxed.

"When we got back to the Imperial Capital, we parted ways with Mr. Kidson.

Most of the time, our team spends time in the Mercenary Guild lobby.

Or, the bustling adventurer's tavern in the imperial capital......"

"Until, Mr. Hydson's butler found me.

Say...... Mr. Hydson was arrested. ”

"Mr. Butler gave me a note, here."

Ranger handed the note to Lee.

Lee handed it over to Charlie.

Charlie spread it out with one hand and glanced sideways.

There was a very sloppy line written on it.

【Ideal Township! Count save me! 】

"A lot of people were talking about it on the way here.

Speaking of Mr. Hydson, there is another big businessman......

That gentleman, Pryushkin, is about to be sent to the gallows! ”

"If the time is right, it should be five days later. Uh, you ......"

The dusty ranger wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Charlie with a raised palm.

"I see, you go down and rest."

When Li was resting the mercenaries, he only heard a voice behind him say indifferently:

"Lee, by the way, help me get McGonagall here."

Lee turned around and slightly lowered his head and pounded his right chest.

After a while, McGonagall, who had turned into an elf Shota, staggered in.

Without saying a word, Charlie handed McGonagall a piece of parchment with chic characters written in handwriting.

The ink on it is not dry.

McGonagall's gaze was instinctively drawn to the string of numbers on the parchment roll.

【1,000,000 Coins】

At the bottom of the parchment is Charlie's tail ring, covered with a fire paint stamp.

This coat of arms symbolizes her unique authority in the Floating City.

With this paperwork, McGonagall was able to withdraw 1,000,000 gold coins from the City Department of Finance.

"Say it! Let me do what! Anything goes! ”

McGonagall's expression was serious, as if she could 'sacrifice' anything for gold at any moment.

He felt that even if Charlie proposed marriage on the spot, he would definitely agree without saying a word.

"How old are you now? If you carry me, can you fly all the way to the imperial capital? Charlie asked with a deep groan.

McGonagall hadn't replied yet, but the silver dragon beside her, who had been silently serving as the background board, spoke:

"He's still a teenager, he's not that big, and he's not fast. If you go to the imperial capital, why don't you let me send you there. ”

Charlie was slightly stunned, and then immediately realized.

She was understanding, and raised her hand to pull the black dragon off her shoulder.

Then, he stuffed it into the arms of the silver dragon.

Whether it was the silver-haired handsome guy's version of Antanaron, or the black dragon in his arms, they were all confused at this time.

"Well, if you're afraid that you won't be able to see Xiao Hei during the period when I'm leaving......

I can leave him behind and take care of you for a while! ”

Charlie also wants Silver Dragon to fill the façade and be her thug.

But she felt very 'fascinated' by this silver dragon that suddenly appeared and saved the ideal township.

Where did this dragon come from?

Why save the ideal township?

Why haven't you left until now?

What exactly is he up to?

In short, it's all an unsolved mystery.

It's no wonder that she has so many questions, it's really a series of 'mysterious behaviors' of Yinlong, which is too puzzling.

He was more dutiful than Charlie's guards, and he had to stay outside Charlie's door almost when he slept.

Later, in desperation, Charlie prepared a separate room for him next door.

This solved the embarrassing 'Silver Dragon Gatekeeper Incident'.

Staying by Charlie's side day and night, but not wanting a copper plate in the township.

It's the kind of 'Buddha Dragon' that Charlie gives a box of gold coins, and he will smile and decline politely.

So in the past, Charlie was also very polite to him.

The two of them spoke as if they were saints meeting.

The corners of the silver dragon's mouth twitched slightly.

I think there is a deep misunderstanding of the appearance here......

But when it comes to the 'Black Dragon', he obviously can't say anything.

Feeling the low pressure of 'Xiao Hei', Yinlong didn't dare to delay any longer.

Immediately, he put the hot potato back on Charlie's shoulder.

That action...... If you want to describe it, it feels like a 'bomb disposal'.

"Nope! You misunderstood, I'm just willing to send you there!

Helping others is the nature of our silver dragon! ”

And this nature has just been added.

The black dragon was still angry, and he spewed a breath of hot air and brought out a few sparks.

As if questioning Charlie.

'Will you throw it out for me again?' ’

Charlie ignores a certain black dragon who has recently become particularly irritable.

Her eyes were shining like stars at night.

McGonagall had quietly put away the parchment.

Refund money or something, it doesn't exist.

The salvation of people cannot be delayed.

However, in order for the silver dragon to turn into its body, its huge body does not cause damage to the ideal village.

They had to leave and come to a large open field.

The silver dragon in the prime of life is very large.

It's about the size of an entire White Castle.

What a wonderful creation is this?

Silver scales, beautiful dragon horns, graceful body shape......

Charlie was almost stunned.

Black Dragon: "......"

Dead Woman ......

The black dragon's tail was now like an iron whip, and it slapped Charlie's back a little hard before she 'came back to her senses'.

The silver dragon gently lowered Charlie's dragon wings to the ground, allowing Charlie to climb up his body.

McGonagall, who was stupidly following behind, also wanted to go up with her.

As a result, the silver dragon's long snake neck bent over and blew lightly on him.

directly blew this confused child away.

The bronze dragon became elf, and it rolled several times before stopping.

He sat up, stuck out his tongue, and reverted to his dragon form.

The silver dragon ran and took off.

Charlie was on his back, and he was very excited.

It's a lot more exciting than flying!

Longtai!

Right! After she returns, she will build a towering dragon platform in Ideal Township!

Let the dragons take off in the ideal country in the future!

……

Imperial capital.

The news that the two big businessmen were imprisoned at the same time has become known to everyone.

This also reflects that the connections expanded by these two big businessmen are extremely extensive.

At various banquets held by nobles, guests can be heard talking about it from time to time.

"Do you think 'that thing' they say will be true?"

"I don't know. Goblin Three Magazines didn't say a word about this. Maybe it's fake. ”

"Crush an army of 100,000 orcs? How dare you blow ......"

Statements such as these are quite popular among high society.

But specifically talking about the two big businessmen, what is the reason for going to prison......

It's nothing more than two points.

First, wealth moves people's hearts.

You must know that the black pearl necklace worn by a certain marquise has caused a sensation in the upper circles of the imperial capital.

Greedy people naturally make some calculations that should not be made.

Second, the rhetoric they spread is something that the core of the empire's power today is not happy to hear.

It's enough to have a Ray Tyglin with the Silver Empire.

The empire is now extremely disgusted, and the nobility in the fiefdom is too 'inflated'.

Obviously, they want to make an example.

And the two unlucky businessmen were caught off guard and hit the knife edge.

Anyway.

From the arrest and imprisonment of two big businessmen, to the sentence of execution.

The officials involved are surprisingly efficient.

Until today.

The iron-faced Edson and the frightened Pryushkin had been pressed to the gallows by the Praetorian Guards.

An official unfolded a parchment scroll and began to read the crimes they had committed to the onlookers in the square.

Don't wonder how the two big businessmen have a 'case record'.

In these years, when I pulled out a turnip, I didn't come out without a few mud ideas.

After living a lifetime, who can walk without stepping on a few ants?

Not to mention the two big businessmen who made their fortunes.

If you listen carefully to these lists.

The wise will find that the charges read out together are far from the standard of betrayal by hanging.

However, there is a sin in the imperial punishment.

Say, 'You must die.'"

After reading out the crime.

The onlookers were enraged.

Yes!

These two villains are so damned!

They get into cheap goods!

Sell it at a price gouging!

Earned so much money without conscience!

Look at their crimes!

A whole sheet of parchment is written!

The dragon god is above!

Damn it! Right! Hang them!

The stone was picked up and thrown.

The two big businessmen who smashed it broke their heads on the spot.

Accompanied by the angry shouts of the civilians, the executioner put a rope around their necks.

Just pull the control valve next to it.

The plank under their feet will open.

It won't be long before these two people stop kicking their legs and go straight back to the arms of death.

Despair filled the eyes of the two great businessmen.

At the moment, they are engulfed in fear.

The shadow of death loomed over them.

Just when the prosecutor's hand was raised, he was about to wave his hand to give the order.

The scorching sun in the sky was obscured.

Some people looked up.

Today the weather is fine and cloudless.

How is it cloudy?

And when they look up......

Instead of white clouds, he saw a dragon that covered the sky, the silver Guardian Antanaron.

The executioner's hands trembled in astonishment, and he accidentally pulled the wooden pole.

The two big businessmen, who were already ecstatic, instantly emptied their feet.

They fell vertically.

The rope around their necks was tightened.

The eyes of the two big businessmen were bulging out.

Their mouths are gagged with dirty cloths.

But if it is not blocked, it will not be able to make a sound at the moment.

The legs of the two were like live fish caught ashore, suffocating and struggling frantically.

At this critical moment when every second counts, a brilliant flame fell from the sky.

Flames hit the gallows.

The incomparably brilliant fire arcane 'roared' like a dragon, engulfing the gallows.

The ropes around the necks of the two big businessmen were burned.

The man also fell straight under the gallows.

In the sky, a young nobleman dressed in gorgeous clothes stepped down from the back of a dragon, and he stepped on the air as if walking on the clouds.

Step by step towards the people on the ground.

Flying above the heads of the comers, there are eight brilliant 'flying stones' of different colors.

These 'flying stones' uncandidly 'fly' around the top of their heads, exuding a soft glow.

Set this man off like a god descending to the earth.

If the bard were there, he would not be able to pluck the harp and sing a song.

And everyone in the square will never forget this scene at this moment.
