Chapter 3: Give Me a Month
"Horton, shouldn't you give us an explanation?" the young man said in a deep voice. Even for the Otlov family, a dragon egg is expensive.
Horton seemed to have lost all the strength of his body, leaned against the edge of the stove, and struggled for a while before standing up, "Viscount Saiah, I lost the dragon egg, there is nothing to say. How to punish it, you ask. ”
"Okay, then now I pronounce my sentence on your actions as the eldest son of the Otrov family in Twilight City, and from now on, the Michim Dragon Arena will be owned by Twilight City as compensation for the loss of the dragon egg. "The youth pronounced the sentence quickly.
"Mr. Horton. The faces of the people changed dramatically.
The tall and thin boy Wren trembled even more, and he almost went limp.
This time, he was the only one who passed all three rounds, this year's hard work, has almost spent all his father's savings, if the Mitheus Dragon Arena is taken away like this, then everyone here will lose the opportunity to graduate, and can only find another Dragon Arena to start over.
However, those three gold coins were already half of my father's life savings.
Wren stretched out his hand to stop in front of Viscount Saiah, crying, "No, you can't just take away the Dragon Fighting Arena, if you take it away, then we really have nowhere to go." ”
As a teenager who has made dragon fighters his lifelong dream, he doesn't even know where he can go without this place.
"Mr. Horton, it's hard for me to be a student like this. A wind bird egg with atavistic phenomena is definitely worth more than a hundred gold coins, and your dragon fighting arena has not been repaired for more than 20 years, so it is not worth much at all, even if you add that eight-generation bloodline dragon turtle, it is about the same price, so the Otrov family did not take advantage of you at all, you should know. The young man said with a frown.
Horton was clearly desperate, tears streaming down his cheeks, and he couldn't speak.
With his ability, he can naturally find a job in other dragon fighting arenas where he can get more than a dozen Caesar silver coins a month, and as a silver dragon fighter, he can live a very nourishing life anywhere.
But this dragon fighting arena that once had twenty-four wurms, and even one was dominated by three generations of wurms, is already the only epitome of grandpa's brilliance in this world.
Despite its dilapidation, it was once one of the three major dragon fighting arenas in the Kingdom of West Asia.
He knew he would never be able to hold on to this last glory again.
With difficulty, Horton took out dozens of Caesar's silver coins from his pocket and threw them on the ground, "This is the last money, you guys have divided it, get out of here." ”
In addition to the expenses of all the personnel, the biggest cost of a dragon fighting arena is actually the diet of the dragon turtle, since the death of grandpa in battle, it is already a miracle that only one eight-generation wulong Mitheus dragon fighting field can last so long.
The legendary name of Mitheus, like Karen's status as the son of the duke, seems to have long been forgotten by this world.
"Teacher...... "The children were already crying. Although Horton is strict, in life, he is really good to them.
Horton sighed, calmed his mood, and looked up at the place he had held on to for more than thirty years, and now it was like his former dream, full of holes, no longer the glory of the day.
"Let's go!" Horton waved his hand.
Li Xiang looked at all this, his brows furrowed.
All of this is self-inflicted, and it can be said that those few mouthfuls of roast chicken directly buried the dreams of everyone in the Mitheus Dragon Arena.
Seeing all this, his heart also tugged involuntarily, he didn't know if it was caused by Karen's kindness in this life, or because it was his responsibility in itself.
It was not until this moment that Li Xiang could be regarded as having accepted this identity and fact.
"Wait!" He stepped forward, grabbing Wren as he was about to pick up the silver coin.
Viscount Saiyan frowned, "Is there anything else you need?"
"How much is that dragon egg worth?" asked Li Xiang.
The young man stretched out a finger, "I said it very clearly just now, at least a hundred Lukka gold coins. ”
"Okay, that's a hundred Lukka coins. Li Xiang took a deep breath, "However, I hope you can give us a little time." We'll scrape together a hundred gold coins to compensate for the loss of Twilight. ”
As soon as he spoke, everyone was startled.
"Karen, what nonsense are you talking about. That's a hundred gold coins, how do we get them together!" Horton scolded loudly.
"yes, Karen. That's a hundred gold coins, not a hundred silver coins. Wren said.
A hundred gold coins is ten thousand silver coins, which is almost enough for all of Mitheus's expenses in ten years now. You must know that the tuition fee for each of them for three months is thirty silver coins. Again, all fees are included.
Li Xiang looked at Horton, who was born early, in Karen's memory, he was full of admiration for this silver dragon fighter, a dragon fighter who gave up the luxurious life he could have in order to adhere to his ideals, it is difficult to find it in today's kingdom.
Who isn't busy every day in order to make a better life for themselves?
"Teacher Horton, are we just giving up?" Li Xiang looked at Horton and said loudly: "You have persisted for more than thirty years in order to keep this place, once you let go, does this place still have anything to do with the former Mitheus? Do you want the name of the Mitheus Dragon Arena to disappear from this continent? Let everyone forget the ballad that was once sung for it?"
Horton was clever, and the old tears were in his eyes, and he said loudly: "I don't want to, of course I don't want to, but what else can I do?"
"There is no way to go. Trust me, there's always a way. Li Xiang knew that any straw now could directly make Horton give up hope in his heart.
"Forget it, Karen. I know you're looking out for everyone, but now that it's over, I know I should let it go, maybe it will be easier for me. Horton wiped away tears.
Li Xiang said: "Yes, you believe me." ”
He ignored Horton, who was already on the verge of collapse, turned his head to look at the Otlov brothers and sisters, and performed a noble etiquette, "Venerable Viscount Saiyan, Miss Dilis, I beg you to give the Mitheus Dragon Arena another month, and after a month, we will definitely give a hundred gold coins." ”
"Why should I believe you?" said Viscount Saiyan coldly. As a nobleman, he knew better than anyone what a hundred gold coins meant to an ordinary commoner.
"Brother, just give them a chance. Miss Dilis, who had already secretly wiped her tears, pleaded.
Saiya looked at his sister, his face full of tenderness, "Dilis, I know you sympathize with them, but this time it is related to the interests of the family, and I can't play with it." Lending dragon eggs to the Mitheus Dragon Arena for a year is already a huge mistake, and if we continue to make mistakes, it would be our own stupidity. ”
Li Xiang suddenly stretched out his hand, took out a golden badge from his arms, and threw it to Viscount Saiya, "Maybe you can take a look at this." ”
Saiya stretched out his hand to hold the golden breastplate, and his hand sank slightly, it was actually made of pure gold, and when he saw the distant mountains and sunset signs on the breastplate, his face changed suddenly.
In the Kingdom of West Asia, only the direct family members of the five families who have the right to senate are eligible to wear the badge made of pure gold, and this piece just now is the symbol of the Denister family in Sunset City, with a total of only five pieces.
Although the nobles of the kingdom are secretly discussing whether the Denister family will lose the royal seat in the next parliament and be replaced by the Miander family, even if the Denister family loses the seat, he is still a first-class grand duke, which is not comparable to the small third-class Earl Otrov family.
However, if it was the Dannister family, why did they come to this remote town?
