Valentine's Fortress, the highest hall, seems to have become a space close to the kingdom of God. The high throne in the golden amber was only visible, and the phantom condensed as it was real, pacing in front of the kneeling old man.

"The situation on Norton's side has subsided, the Arcanists have retreated, and the price they have paid is discouraged from coming back," said the illusory Theresia, "I'm thinking about what to do with that Santarin, the advice of the Earl of Cold Spring, uncle, what is your opinion?" ”

Kneeling on the ground was the Prime Minister, who had just been released from house arrest. Knowing that his daughter had just become a saint, the prime minister was in a better mood, but after this experience, his mentality also changed somewhat.

The goddess asked him to continue to preside over the affairs of the empire, and he did his best, and the goddess asked him to give advice, and he did his best.

"The Santalin Society openly colludes with foreign enemies and must be severely punished......"

The Prime Minister said, "However, the point of Count Cold Spring's point is worth noting, these magicians are not the same as those who have entered the upper echelons of the Empire. ”

"In the past, His Majesty could only rely on the upper level magicians to restrain each other, but these people are inseparable in some fundamental interests. For example, Hathaway Ted has been very close to several other big families lately, and they have been doing a lot of ...... around magic particles The exchange of interests has formed a de facto alliance. ”

"The Empire needs to support other mages against this alliance, and this member is all from the lower Scattered Grove Towers. ”

"Count Cold Spring is also a marginal character among the upper mages, and apart from his close relationship with Mosmut, he is not valued by other mage families. It is fitting for him to dominate this force. ”

Phantom Theresia nodded: "This is indeed a very special character, in the past, I used to treat him as an informant left by Richie Prell with me, and I looked at him differently, and then I realized that it was the guy himself...... Operate. ”

"It's true that his weight in the empire is not heavy, but he is in the business of magic guide guns and magic guide cars, and he can't grab the lucrative business of magic guide planes and even floating ships. ”

"That's why he took the initiative to go to Norton to master the Santarin Society, a very positive ...... Opportunists, if I hadn't sent Podina over, he would have sold those magicians to the Red Federation. ”

She thought for a moment and settled her mind. The action of nodding at that moment made the Prime Minister stupefied, and the real Theresia was like that.

The new Theresia created by this goddess of order is becoming more and more like, at least in these small details.

"Anyway, the Empire still has a lot of floating ship workshops in Norton, and the magicians in those workshops are also small families, plus this Santarin Society, let them grow stronger, and compete with the big families of Hathaway and Cimbona, which is in the interests of the Empire. ”

She sighed: "This is the so-called ...... Checks and balances?"

Her eyes were long, as if she was looking for some traces of memory in her heart, and then she smiled: "Divide and disintegrate, pull one faction to fight another, and merge vertically and horizontally, that's all there is to say." The wisdom of mortals, it's really interesting. ”

The Prime Minister didn't dare to interject......

The phantom waved his hand again and said, "It's up to you, uncle, to approve it, the crime of colluding with foreign enemies cannot be forgiven, for the sake of the empire, I can tolerate it for the time being." ”

"Explain their actions as a covert plot by Zold, on my orders, to push the Santarim Society to deal with the Arcanists, lure them into the bait, and deal a heavy blow in one fell swoop. ”

"Zord has meritorious, promoted to the rank of Marquis, let him oversee the Norton Floating Ship Workshop, and bring the magicians of the Santarin Society to join the Workshop and contribute to the rebuilding of the Empire's Floating Fleet. ”

"Zold's promise to the Santarin Society, Norton has few people, and the territory and the people are not considered, and all other conditions are met. In particular, their debts to the Joint Communications Commission, as well as the ownership of the Magic Tower taken by the Committee, were returned to them. ”

"The Joint Communications Commission has been controlled by those high-level magicians, and although I can borrow the power of this network, it is also in their minds to continue to monopolize them, and to cut off my ties with the people. So let's push Norton's wizards to build another communication network. ”

"Let Zolde be the president of the Mage Federation, he should know how to pull these people into his own power, so that in the fields of industry, mage association and communication network, the mages can be divided into two factions. ”

The Prime Minister has taken note of the main points, and he should be respectful.

After the Prime Minister leaves, the Phantom meets a gorgeous maiden, who is none other than Ginny, the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Commerce.

"It would be a great sacrifice for His Majesty Elsa to let the silver dragon change the patriarch and give up those young silver dragons, especially the youngest daughter of the Osquim patriarch......"

Ginny faced the phantom Theresia fearlessly: "Her Majesty Elsa has proposed three options, and Her Majesty Theresia chooses them. ”

The phantom flickered for a moment, and his tone did not change: "Has it taken so long to evaluate? ”

Ginny said: "The first option is to fully liberalize the trading control of Jinpu in the Dawning Empire, and I believe Your Majesty is also mentally prepared for this." ”

"The second option is to approve His Majesty Takhis's plan to replace the Golden Dragon to lead the Dragons, and not interfere with the Void Dragons hosting in places other than Heavenly Mountain...... Corresponding trade. ”

"The third option is for Her Majesty Elsa to settle in Heavenly Mountain and set up a market where the gods can trade freely. ”

The Phantom chuckled and said, "These three options, no matter which one they are, will make Her Majesty Elsa's Jinpu ear several times brighter." Sacrificing a part of the silver dragon can get such a rich return, worthy of the god of trading. ”

She shook her head and said, "The third one is impossible, and the second one I have to promise is that whether it is a silver dragon or a red dragon, it will eventually be wiped out by the Void Dragon, and it is impossible." ”

"The first...... It seems that Her Majesty Elsa's eyes are still on the Dawning Empire, but unfortunately, I still can't agree. ”

"I'm not the Theresia I used to be, but my opinion on this hasn't changed. In my eternal order, commerce can only be a useful supplement to order. When commerce flourishes, all kinds of changes will inevitably shake the eternal order. ”

Ginny opened her mouth to defend herself, but was stopped by the phantom waving her hand: "I know very well about this, I have memories of another world, I have seen with my own eyes what the world has finally become after commerce has eroded the souls of mortals. ”

"I can promise that there will no longer be restrictions on the circulation of Gimpour's in transactions related to transcendent affairs, and that the Temple of Commerce will be allowed to participate in the affairs of the empire within a limited scope, but that's about it. ”

The phantom's voice turned into a roar that echoed in the hall: "Tell Your Majesty Elsa my words word for word." Tell him that even if the Silver Dragon Clan rebels, even if the Void Dragon Clan is my enemy, I will not budge. ”

The phantom's tone turned contemptuous: "If Your Majesty Elsa wants to create your own order, I am also happy to be able to compete with him, whether in the mortal world or in the god world. ”

Ginny hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty Elsa never thought of it that way......"

She had to explain further that the phantom suddenly rippled slightly, which was the effect of the teleportation spell on the projection.

"There's a problem with the silver dragon......"

The Phantom said, "I will send the Red Dragon to solve it, and if the Temple of Commerce still wants to make a difference in the matter of the Silver Dragon, it is best to see that you are also working on it." ”

Ginny said eagerly, "Your Majesty will see it!"

..................

Tangus Temple Hill, formerly the headquarters of the Loyal Alliance, is now the meeting place for the Temple of Commerce, various chambers of commerce, and media workshops, as well as a distribution center for news from East Fein. Originally, every inch of land was at a premium, but even if Valentine rebuilt and the center of East Fein shifted to Valentine, the price of land here still rose three times a day, to the point that even the dragons were at a loss.

The Osquim Merchant House, which has always been in the city, has been deserted for more than a month now.

Ever since Silver Dragon was accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country after crying in the sea of sand, the merchant hall has not been cared for. After the Osquim family's Mirror Stone and Silver Bell were arrested and imprisoned, even the people who came to inquire about the transfer of the merchant house disappeared.

In the middle of the night, the temple mountain was as noisy as day, and a series of noises could be heard from the already sealed merchant hall, but no one dared to ask.

In the teleportation room deep in the Merchant House, a petite figure picked up a broken arm from the ground and let the wound on his shoulder bleed.

Her body was also blurred with flesh and blood, and her originally delicate cheeks seemed to have been crisscrossed by sharp blades and cut hundreds of times, becoming extremely hideous. Only the short pink hair, and the small horns protruding from the forehead, can still see a trace of the former pretty.

As if frightened by the massive pain, she held her arm and looked around blankly, seeing cobwebs and dust, as well as a teleportation circle that had been pried away from many parts.

Confirming that this was her destination, she fell to her knees feebly, not caring at all about the severed arm, but letting out a terrible and hoarse wail like a chick that had been driven out of a bird's nest.

"Father's ——!"

Tears mixed with blood, making Timmy Osquim's vision scarlet.

The scene that happened not long ago passed through her heart, cutting her heart like a knife.

"I'm sorry, Timmy, my father is so stupid......"

Her father picked her up from the bed in the dragon's lair, and said hurriedly, "I thought that both the empress and the goddess should remember that it was our silver dragon, our Osquim family, who were the first to congratulate the birth of the Dawning Empire that night." ”

"I thought that we had a friendship with the goddess of commerce for tens of thousands of years, and the entanglement of mutual interests was so deep that it was impossible to separate. ”

"I was wrong, Timmy, I shouldn't have listened to you and followed the Dawning Empire and Theresia with all my heart. ”

"For the sake of the entire Silver Dragon Race, the young dragons, and our Osquim family must make sacrifices. ”

At that time, my father rarely turned into a human form, turned into a handsome young man, and hugged himself tightly in his arms: "Me and your brother, and your sister, we can all sacrifice, but it can't be you, we must not sacrifice you!"

"Let's go, get out of here and go where you need to go!"

"Remember, live well, this is your only mission!"

At that time, Timmy was still rubbing his eyes and muttering, "Dad, I just woke up and haven't brushed my teeth yet, so you tell me ......"

The roar of the dragon outside the lair made her wake up instantly......

"The red dragon is here, even their dragon god is here. ”

The father smiled sadly: "Our ancestor, that is, the God of the Silver Dragon, will not ask, this is the oracle of Her Majesty the Goddess, and he can only accept it." ”

"Let's go!"

Father gave her the teleportation rune and threw her into the teleportation room deep in the lair: "From here, go to the Tangus Merchant House, and then use the teleportation rune to go to the dragon's lair we opened in Hadrang, and from there to where you should go and where you want to go!"

"Remember, don't come into contact with the Temple of Commerce, not even the Temple of Hadron, the Goddess of Commerce won't help us!"

"Hurry up——!"

As soon as my father finished speaking, several red dragons broke through the entrance of the dragon's lair and rushed in, their mouths were covered with blood, hanging with minced meat, and they were still shouting: "Don't let that little bastard go!"

The father turned back into a dragon, blocked the red dragon, and shouted without looking back: "Go away——!"

Originally, his father was the tallest and most majestic dragon in Timmy's mind, but now compared to those red dragons, he looked so thin.

Timmy shuddered and activated the teleportation circle, before being severely injured by the broken teleportation circle of the Merchant House.

At this time, she no longer felt pain, and she had already tasted the extreme pain in the dragon's lair.

"Father's ......"

Timmy numbly used a spell to pick up her arm, and then she burst into tears, knowing that her father would not survive.

Tears and blood spread out under her, and she finally came to her senses.

"Revenge ......"

There was a thought echoing in his mind, go to the Divine Fall Plateau, go to Li Qi's side, and let him avenge himself!

Just as she was about to activate the teleportation rune in her hand, she hesitated again.

It's been a long time since I've seen Richie...... Months or years?

After Richie fell out with Theresia, she forcibly stopped contacting her for the sake of her business.

When she was about to turn into a dragon, her father took her back to the Dragon Domain and threw her into the dragon nest to "raise dragons", because she was in too much hurry and forgot to tell Li Qi.

Now maybe he forgot that he still has such a stupid, mercenary, and ungrateful little dragon female apprentice, right?

It's okay if he can become a dragon, and he can tempt him with the previous agreement, but he can't become a dragon yet!

Timmy's tears flowed again, and when he really saw Richie, he just nodded indifferently, what should he do?

"By the way, there are also mirror stones and silver bells......"

Timmy thought of another reason why he couldn't go to Richie, his brothers and sisters were still in prison, and the entire Osquim family in the Dragon Domain had been wiped out, would they still have a way to live?

"Gotta save them......"

Timmy thought so, her status in the family is very special, and she has been designated as the patriarch since she was a child. She didn't know why she was so noble, but her brothers and sisters didn't treat her as a sister, but as a master, and she had been used to it for many years.

Now she deeply realizes that what she has lost and is about to lose is not just her attendant, but her relatives.

If you can't save it, then let's die together.

The wandering little dragon girl is so desperate at the moment.

She struggled out of the teleportation room and rummaged around the merchant hall from memory, trying to find some medicine to heal her as soon as possible. It's a pity that when the merchant house was banned, the deacons and servants below must have been purged, and they didn't leave her with anything at all.

"I'm so useless......"

Timmy cowered in the corner, muttering to himself, ready to survive the night with a half-dragon, half-human physique.

The ceiling and floor shook suddenly, and several figures appeared.

"Little Leaf!"

"Night Star!"

"Jewels!"

It's a playmate who grew up with her since she was a child, they are all pure-blooded silver dragons, and they have constant transfiguration, and they look like fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers.

Their elder brothers and sisters participated in the Weeping Sand Sea Air Battle under the leadership of Jingshi, and after returning to the Dragon Domain, they were imprisoned by their respective families, and handed over to the Red Dragon a few days ago, and the fate is self-explanatory.

They were afraid that the red dragon would also capture them, and they wanted to avenge their brothers and sisters, so they ran out of the dragon domain through various methods and came to the Osquim Merchant House to lurk.

They knew that Timmy was next, and that the patriarch would not hand over Timmy, so they came to the merchant house to wait for her.

"Let's go save the mirror stone too!"

"We don't know what to do until we know what to do!"

"And Sister Yinling, she's also very powerful!"

After listening to Timmy's plan, the three friends suddenly had a backbone.

The silver dragon called "Little Leaf" is well-informed: "There are also a few silver dragons who fought with Brother Jingshi have also escaped, go find them first, and get together with more strength!"

Timmy's heart burned, but he was ashamed and said, "I'm injured and can't fly yet......"

The two young dragons, Night Star and Jewel, immediately fought each other......

"Ride me!"

"I'll carry Timmy!"

So Timmy chose Xiao Yezi, the young silver dragon......

The young dragons were contacted by the Dragon's exclusive dragon language, and they unanimously agreed to participate in the rescue operation, and after agreeing on a meeting place, a resistance group composed of teenagers and young Silver Dragon fugitives was born.

At this time in Norton, Zelder had just entered the Governor's Palace with triumphant steps.
