"How...... How can it be! The Red Dragon Queen hurriedly retorted, "Lord Iona has said that our existence is a burden to this world; For the sake of the stability of the world, we try to minimize our activities, and Iona said that we had better save our bodies, otherwise the dragons alone can quickly eat the world. ”

"Is that so?" Arthas was skeptical, "But your Excellency the Queen, you have not eaten anything short of food these days. ”

"I ...... I'm in human form now, so how can it be the same! If I actually eat in dragon form, you...... You've been eaten poor by me for a long time! I don't know if it's an illusion, Arthas felt that the Red Dragon Queen blushed a little.

"Wait, that is...... What is said in this book is false? Alfonso redirected the conversation back on track.

"Well, it's all fake." The Red Dragon Queen nodded in reply.

"You dragons don't collect precious treasures and keep them in your lair?" Alfonso still couldn't believe it - after all, the Book of Dragons, as an almost popular science book about dragons, has been regarded as a classic for thousands of years, and who would have thought that in the face of real dragons, the content of this book would be as useless as a novel?

"What a faux pas!" The Red Dragon Queen retorted angrily, "I've said it several times, the Dragon Sleep Temple is our home, not a 'lair' as you call it!" ”

"No, no, no, I still can't believe it." Alfonso shook his head, then pulled out a gold coin from the pocket of his burlap robe—a gold coin minted by the Kingdom of Lordaeron, with the delicate double-headed eagle emblem engraved on it. It is not only for aesthetics, but also for anti-counterfeiting.

"Your Excellency, you want to sue me. Are you not interested in such gold coins at all? Alfonso held the coin between his fingers and dangled it in front of the Red Dragon Queen, as if teasing a child who wanted a snack or a toy.

But the Red Dragon Queen didn't even look at the gold coin, she shook her head disdainfully and said, "No, only you mortals need to use currency, in our Dragon Sleep Temple, everything is shared by everyone." Whether it's food or something, we don't need to buy and trade. ”

Seeing the look of surprise on Alfonso's face, Arthas only felt comical - I don't know what kind of guts. The Chancellor of the Exchequer wanted to extort a treasure from the Red Dragon Queen to subsidize the Union's huge post-war economic gap, but what he didn't expect was that it would be measured purely in human currency. Then the Red Dragon Clan is undoubtedly a well-known poor bastard.

"So......" Alfonso muttered to himself. Don't have a mountain of treasure? Don't have an inexhaustible supply of gold, crystals, and diamonds? The Light is above......"

From the face of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alsace can vaguely detect a ...... How to say, the expression of disillusionment?

"No, no, it can't be left like that!" Alfonso gritted his teeth and re-stared at the Red Dragon Queen in front of him; The expression on the Chancellor's face looked a little hideous at the moment, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly, so frightened that the Red Dragon Queen couldn't help but take a half step back.

"I'll make sure first. Your Excellency, for the wrongs of your people in this war and the reparations they must make. You shouldn't have any objections, right? It's just because the Red Dragons don't use currency and don't have anything else of value that there's no way to compensate humans - that is what you mean? ”

"Well, that's right." The Red Dragon Queen nodded, and said in an apologetic tone, "I am willing to take responsibility for the mistakes they have committed for my children, and I hope to make amends to you...... But if the compensation you want is money, I really can't ......."

"In other words, as long as it's something else that dragons can contribute, that's fine, right?" Alfonso interrupted the Red Dragon Queen.

"Something else?" The Red Dragon Queen had a puzzled look on her face, "If we had, I'd like to take it out and apologize to you...... But what do you really want from us? ”

"That's easy." Alfonso breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let your people do the coolies!" ”

Bitter...... Coolie? Arthas was once again stunned by the Chancellor's whimsical whims, though both dragons and young dragons were of great strength, but ...... Isn't it too ...... to use dragons as coolies?

"Coolies?" The Red Dragon Queen apparently knew what the word meant, "This...... How can this work? I...... How can my people do coolies to mortals? ”

"Why not?" Alfonso's words had a mocking tone, "As the guardians of the world, you have even joined the orc side to attack us, and I heard that many of your people are willing to be used as mounts by the orcs, so as a human coolie, why not?" ”

"You...... How can you say that! The Red Dragon Queen retorted with some anxiety, "Those children lowered their heads because they were deceived by their compatriots; And, I ...... It's not their fault that I'm imprisoned by the enemy, and I can't teach them, is the real reason why they became orc mounts! ”

"Regardless, it's true that your people's attacks on humanity have cost us dearly; Since Your Excellency the Queen has the heart to make amends, but you can't afford to pay for it, you can only do coolies - if you have money, you have the power to contribute, this is a rule that has existed since ancient times. Alfonso said, spreading his hands.

"But...... But coolies or something......" Obviously, the Red Dragon Queen still can't accept such a form of compensation, but the guilt of human beings makes her heart waver.

"Of course, coolie is just a way of saying it." "If I could, I'd rather call it a ...... Help, that's right, mutual help between allies. ”

"Help?" The Red Dragon Queen blinked—a word that was clearly more positive than "coolie."

"That's right, help." Alfonso said to the Red Dragon Queen, "In the meeting just now, His Majesty mentioned that the Alliance was about to build a huge fortress in the southern part of the continent, where the orcs first appeared in this world, to defend against a possible second attack. ”

"The original plan was that when Kurtilas' new ship was able to launch, the kingdom of Lordaeron would recruit a large number of strong men, who would travel by sea with the Storm refugees to the south of the continent to help our allies rebuild their homes and build the fortress." Alfonso inadvertently revealed the topic he had just discussed with King Terenus. (To be continued......)
