Just when Jerry was helpless to take a thousand guards and knights, with a nervous heart, hurried to the capital of the Vant, just when the biting cold wind outside the defense line of the 'Iron Fort' summoned the last trace of strength to bombard the strong city wall, and at the same time, when Ray was furious because the morale of the soldiers was dripping and could not bear the harsh war, and he personally led the crazy military training, a huge wooden sailing ship, dangling and squeaking, went to sea from the southernmost port of the Smart Empire.

The sea breeze was controlled by a strong willpower, obediently following behind the sails and gasping desperately. Seventy-two huge triangular and four-cornered white sails swelled up like freshly made dough, driving the golden hull across the calm sea and heading south. The magic that manipulated the wind and the sea was so great that the sailing ship sped across the sea three or five times faster than the fierce horses on land.

The waterline of the hull was pressed very low, and it was clear that the ship was loaded with something very heavy. Looking at the hundreds of priests standing on the bow of the sailboat, dressed in golden robes and wearing rings on their fingers with the emblem of the god of wisdom, it is conceivable that these priests were part of the highest ruling echelons of the Smart Empire. Then, the identity of the person who can make them drink the sea breeze on the bow of the ship willingly is naturally even more remarkable.

The ship was moving fast on the sea, and the waves near the bow of the ship had not yet emerged from the sea, and had been re-pressed into the sea by a powerful force, leaving only two white marks on the stern. A large number of seagulls were curious to follow the sailboat, this was the first time they had seen a sailboat that could run so fast. However, with the gentle movement of the fingers of a Smart priest in the bow of the ship, the seagull immediately moved away from the sailing ship in terror.

After a long morning of rapid sailing, a lone island appeared on the horizon ahead. There is not much green on the whole island, there are golden rocks everywhere, and countless huge rock pillars rise from the ground, and there are large and small caves on it. The entrance to the cave shimmered in the warm sunlight, as if countless diamonds had been set on it. Thousands of birds, large and small, circled lazily around the rock pillars, as if in a feeding movement after a full meal.

The ship continued to move forward, and less than five miles closer to the island, it was clear that what had looked like birds just now was a myriad of huge wyverns with scales shining in the sunlight. Look at the wyverns hovering among the rock pillars, each more than a hundred feet long, and as they swirled, they occasionally let out a loud howl towards the sky, shaking the waters near the island and trembling slightly.

This is the 'Dragon Island', which has become one of the forbidden places for humans after the War of the Gods, and the 'Dragon Island' that has not been visited by any creatures for more than 100,000 years. Those dragons from the Forgotten Continent, carrying the eggs laid by their own people, worked hard to hatch the first batch of 20,000 small dragons. After the dragon's forbidden magic, 10,000 of them grew rapidly, and their strength quickly increased to the level of adult dragons. Except for the lack of a little bit of the wisdom of an adult dragon, these ten thousand flying dragons are already a huge and terrifying combat power.

Huge fluctuations of magic power continued to emanate from below the Dragon Island, and it was the elders of the Dragon Clan who were casting secret methods to use geothermal heat to hatch the remaining tens of thousands of dragon eggs. Over the past 100,000 years, the number of eggs laid by dragons adds up to a very large number, and some of them may lose their vitality due to too much time, but even if only half of the eggs can successfully hatch, it will be a terrifying force, which is enough to restore the dragons' former glory.

A man shrouded in black robes and a black hood on his head slowly walked out of the cabin. Looking at the more than 10,000 dragons flying over Dragon Island, he laughed in a low voice: "Sure enough, it is a group of mindless reptiles, although the forbidden magic can catalyze the rapid growth of those flying dragons, so that they have the power of adult dragons, but it is only magical power, the dragon that lacks the wisdom of the dragon clan is just a puppet... Moreover, having given up the almost endless life of the dragon clan, just to ensure that the dragon clan has enough combat power in just a hundred years, those elders of the dragon clan can really be ruthless. ”

The boat stopped suddenly, but the man in black didn't seem to be affected by the boat's stop, and floated lightly to the beach of the island with the sea breeze, and greeted a little black dragon with a fierce face and a long scar on his stomach in front of him: "Excuse me, is this Dragon Island?"

The black dragon Dak was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled twice, his front paws were placed on the top of the head of the man in black menacingly, and he said with a big grin: "If this is not Dragon Island, then what do you think this place is?。。。? Tut-tut-tut, we don't welcome humans here, whether you're from the continent in front of you or the Forgotten Continent, we don't welcome it, get out of the way. I've just eaten and I'm in a good mood to kill you. ”

More than a dozen black flying dragon meteorites smashed down, and one dragon landed on the ground in embarrassment, and after finally turning over his body, he stammered and asked: "Brother Dark, is this thing, this thing is human? It's so small, they're so small, and they're so ugly." ”

Duck said in a big way, "Yes, man, he is human, and all human beings are ugly, no matter what kind of human beings they are, they are ugly, treacherous, shameless, vile, indecent, and vicious. So, I tell you, don't deal with humans, or you'll be cheated of everything. Remember what I said, humans are not good things, and when you see humans in the future, it is enough to kill them directly. ”

A black dragon immediately spat out a mouthful of dragon breath, carrying a highly poisonous and super hot dragon breath and bombarded the man in black on the head. Darkbar clicked his mouth, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth. In the eyes of these dragons, this tiny human should be dead. Even the most powerful paladin of mankind during the War of the Gods did not dare to confront the breath of the dragon clan head-on, this human had no breath of strength at all, where was there any reason to survive?

However, the man, the treacherous, shameless, and despicable human whom Duck called suddenly had a fist-sized diamond in his hand, and he held it in his hand and breathed towards the dragon. The dragons' eyes flickered, Dark's wings had completely covered the man in black, and on the tips of Dark's nails, he had already grabbed the diamond that emitted a seductive light, and a strange rumbling sound came out of his throat.

Not only Dark, but all the black dragons looked at the huge diamond in fascination, and their eyes didn't seem to move. Although it has just hatched from the dragon egg, it is completely because of the catalysis of magic and sufficient food to become such a large body, but the dragon clan's nature to like treasures has long been deeply imprinted in the depths of their genes, these black dragons who have never seen jewels, only feel how cute the shining treasure in front of them is, how tempting, how much it makes their blood swell, if it weren't for the diamond caught in the hands of their most admired big brother Dark, they would have let go of it and robbed this treasure long ago.

After a long time, Duck coughed a few times, pretended to put away his wings, put on a majestic appearance, and looked at the man in black. He rumbled and asked, "Okay, you cunning fellow, tell me, what the hell are your goals? Do you want to do anything bad to our dragons? damn it, you think, take out a diamond and make me... Oh God ... ”

Without saying a word, the man in black shook his sleeves, and a great tudge of diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, opals, crystals, magic crystals, mythril, pure gold, and even large nuggets of gold, newly minted angular gold coins, and even richly decorated marble statues filled with glowing crystals of all colors, which 'jingled' and landed on the sand.

So, Dark, who had just put on a majestic appearance like a judge, drooled uncontrollably from his mouth, and he looked at the pile of jewels with the eyes of a mother looking at her precious son, and said softly: "What a beautiful treasure, this is the legendary treasure of the clan, right? My father told me that we dragons are most comfortable sleeping on treasures, and I don't know how many times more comfortable it is than sleeping in a cold cave." ”

The man in black chuckled softly, "Of course, dear Dark, your name is Dark, right? If I heard me right... You see, your so-called human beings are treacherous, shameless, despicable, blah, etc., etc., this is just a legend, how many legends are true? Especially when the truth of the battle of the gods has been buried in the iron curtain of history, we don't know what happened in history, do we?。。。 But I know that only this legend is true, that is, only a lot of treasures can match the noble status of your dragon clan. Think of the 'click' sound of your beautiful scales rubbing against the equally beautiful gold coins. ”

Darker and a group of black dragons nodded in fascination: "Yes, what a beautiful sound." There was even a black dragon lying down, stealthily grabbing a few gold nuggets and starting to rub the scale armor on top of his head. He rubbed vigorously as he snorted in comfort: "Brother Dark, it's so comfortable, don't you want to try it?" It's much better than mating. ”

After all, Duck is an older black dragon, and he can still resist that temptation in front of a large pile of jewels. Reluctantly looking away, he scratched his chin with his front paws, nodded and said, "You have it... There is some truth to it ... Although my father always told me that you humans were bastards and that they were all garbage that should be killed. However, if you humans are not good people, we cooperated with humans last time to attack that 'Divine City', so human beings ... Tsk, how do you say that?"

The man in black bowed slightly, smiled softly and said, "Actually, I just want you to know that we and you can be friends." ”

Duck snorted, blinked his eyes and asked, "Really, friend, well, the word friend, but it's a very serious thing, friend, hum... ”

The man in black flicked his finger and said, "Friend, you are the one who can provide you dragons with a large number of jewels, and give you the opportunity to earn a large number of jewels, Mr. Duck, what do you think? ”

Dark's long tongue licked the bridge of his nose lightly, and he muttered in a low voice, "That's a good point." Immediately, he perked himself up and asked, "Tell me, then, you little human being, what are you doing here in our Dragon Island? Tell me, what do you want? Or, what do you want to do?"

The man in black laughed a few times again: "Oh, it's very simple, I just want to meet the current patriarch of your dragon clan, this is not a problem, right?"

Dark's eyes rolled: "See my father... If you can... then, then, let my father see you ... Oh, of course, I'm going to tell my father right now, that a fairly amiable human wants to see him. When a pile of jewels appeared in front of Duck again, Duck's words immediately changed his words, and he rolled up a violent wind, carrying the jewels into a huge cavern on a nearby rock pillar. After a few wild laughs similar to perverts getting a few beautiful women in the cave, Duck flew out again, and after a week around the rock pillar, Duck recited a spell and added ninety-nine enchantments to his cave, and then he was relieved, flapped his wings and flew back towards the center of the island.

Very smoothly, the man in black was brought to the dragon patriarch. Lying on a huge rock, Dark's father looked at the man in black curiously. Indeed, it is curiosity, and it is not filled with too much malice. For these elders of the dragon clan who have some memories from their ancestors, humans are a creature that cannot be too close, of course, the elders do not exclude limited interaction with humans, after all, from the memories of the ancestors, it was humans who launched a war against the dragons, but the cause of the war was not known to those ancestors themselves, and it was not necessarily the fault of human beings... Well, although I am a little sorry for the taste of the ancestors, but for the sake of those beautiful jewels, the visit of humans can still be barely bearable.

For the elders of the dragon clan, the only thing they are curious about is that humans should have legends about the dragon clan, so it is a bit strange that a human who does not seem to be very powerful dares to come to the dragon clan's lair. They need to figure out what these humans are going to do, what they want to do, and what kind of impact they will have on the dragons. Seeing that his race is slowly recovering to life, at such a juncture, it is not necessarily a wise thing to make enemies with humans.

The man in black looked at the dragon king and did not speak. The dragon king looked at the man in black, holding a huge piece of gold nugget with a full three feet square on his paws, and slowly played with it, but did not speak.

After a long silence, a giant dragon with almost transparent white scale armor opened his mouth: "Hmm, human, tell us, what is your intention?"

The man in black looked at the Dragon King, who nodded slowly, signaling that he could speak. The man in black chuckled, "Peace, Covenant... On behalf of the humanity of the continent, I make an alliance with the powerful dragons. All conditions are negotiable, huh?"

The more than 300 wisdom dragons nearby were obviously stunned for a moment, and these dragons from the Forgotten Continent laughed wildly when they heard the words of the man in black, as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world: "God, peace, you humans and our dragon clan ask for peace, and you still ... You also ask for a covenant with us ... Ridiculous, don't you know that we dragons and you humans are mortal enemies, how can we possibly form an alliance?"

Countless dragons, large and small, enchanted by magic, hovered and fluttering overhead, screaming like parrots learning the words of their predecessors. For a time, the entire 'Dragon Island' was full of attacks on human beings, the exposure of human despicable nature, and the accusations of human shameless behavior. If you don't look at the person who speaks and the person who speaks, the way you just listen to the words is like a country judging the enemies of the people.

The man in black shrugged his shoulders easily, spread his hands and said, "Well, well, humans are mean, shameless, and indecent... But at least ... Humans are rich, as it seems. With a flick of his sleeve, a large pile of jewels rained down on him from another dimension. A ten-foot-tall mountain of jewels appeared in front of him, radiating a dazzling glow in the sunlight.

The nearby dragons were all stunned at once, and no dragon spoke anymore, their eyes were glazed over the pile of jewels, and their tongues seemed to have bows in their mouths.

After a long time, the dragon king whispered, "Are you insulting us? Do you think that you humans can buy us dragons with such a small amount of jewelry? ”

The man in black interrupted him: "Nothing is impossible, a hundred times such jewelry." He flicked his fingers easily, and two more of the same jewel mountain suddenly appeared.

The dragons let out a gasp 'sizzle' at the same time, and the black-clad man's clothes fluttered, almost swept up by the scattered air currents. He looked at the Dragon King proudly, and said with a smile: "How do you feel? A hundred times more jewels, and we have also signed a covenant with you, so that we can live in friendship forever, and you dragon clan can also go to our continent to work and earn more jewels." Even if we can help you to establish a dragon country, a dragon government, and the 'Dragon Island' will become a political entity politically equal to the current seven empires on the mainland, with good diplomatic relations. ”

The man in black gushed out, "We can carry out economic and cultural exchanges with each other, so that the dragons can accumulate a lot of wealth, rebuild Dragon Island, and pursue a better life... Dragon, I see that I like to eat sea fish, but haven't you ever thought about the taste of that tender lamb chops? You are drinking fresh water now, but do you want to taste the best red wine? As long as you have wealth, a large number, an infinite amount of wealth, you can eat as much as you want. ”

With the flick of his fingers again, about a thousand catties of lamb chops smoked by the palace secret method appeared on the ground, and at the same time, hundreds of barrels of wine barrels with a diameter of about five feet appeared.

The dragon king simply grabbed about a hundred catties of lamb chops and put them into his mouth. His tongue was almost swallowed by himself... After a long time of tea, he grabbed the red wine barrel, tore open the lead seal, and poured the bright red wine into his throat... After a long time, a sigh of admiration full of emotion came from Dragon Island.

The nine highest-ranking elders shared the hundred-pound lamb chops - Duck secretly grabbed a piece from the claw of one of the elders and put it into his mouth. Twenty dragon elders shared the rest of the red wine... Silence, a long silence appeared.

After a long time, after the dragon king and the elders exchanged a look, he suddenly revealed a hideous and terrifying appearance, and roared loudly: "We are much stronger than you humans, we can completely rob you of these things." We can kill you, kill you all, so that we can enjoy your stuff as we please. We don't need to be allied with you, and with our power we can enjoy the best. ”

The man in black sighed: "Okay, you can kill all of us humans, then you can only go back to the island and continue to eat your sea fish." Do you herd your own sheep, do you smoke lamb chops, do you grow vines, do you make wine? No, no, no, no, you don't know anything. You would never have been able to enjoy such wonderful food without our help. In the same way, you dragons can't dig for ore on your own, and you won't find such beautiful treasures. ”

The man in black grabbed a gold nugget: "You can use magic to collect endless gold, but compared to this beautiful gold necklace, which one do you like?" The dragons gasped again, croaking in their mouths with unknown meaning.

The man in black shrugged his shoulders, threw the necklace and gold nuggets back, shook his head, and said, "It's still human, only we can make gold into such a beautiful work of art." Do you know what a work of art is? That is wealth, the value of a work of art is a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times more noble than the same weight of raw materials, only a truly noble creature can taste the preciousness of a work of art. I wonder what you think?"

"Food, drink, use, you dragons can't take care of those things by themselves, only we humans, the humans who have made an alliance with you, can continue to provide you with all the pleasures you need, all the extravagant items. Oh, think about it, you dragons, noble, proud dragons, are you going to live like our human nobility, or like those barbarians, gnawing raw fish, drinking rainwater, filling your caves with cheap gold... Gold... Gold... ”

With every sound of 'gold', the man in black grabbed a gold nugget and threw it out like garbage. His fingers once again picked up an extremely graceful wine glass, and sighed and said, "Look, who is more precious than those rigid gold and this wine glass full of vitality?"

"In the same way, who is more delicious than raw fish and rainwater and lamb chops and fine wine?"

"Think about it again, after you have wealth, although I don't know what your dragons' daily habits are, don't you think that when the sun is shining warm, there is a group of human servants to help you wipe every piece of scale armor and make you radiant? What a gap. ”

The Dragon King hesitated for a moment, his front paws lightly scratched his chin, and whispered, "It makes sense, we really can't, we shouldn't destroy you humans." We really wouldn't be able to enjoy much without you. Not... But you and us, after all, are enemies, and this, if you cooperate with the enemy, our ancestors ... ”

The man in black said disdainfully: "Okay, that's enough, your ancestors? Come on, in the current world, who still remembers their ancestors? Isn't what everyone is pursuing is the happy life now? Yes, our ancestors and your ancestors are indeed enemies of life and death, but we human beings ourselves have forgotten those things, and we don't care who our ancestors fought with desperately, so why should you care?"

The dragon king and the elders of the dragon clan looked at each other with serious faces, after all, they were wise dragons who had inherited some of their memories from their ancestors, and they would not give in easily.

The man in black sighed: "Okay, well, I know what you are suspicious, you suspect that we are not sincere, and you suspect that we have malicious intentions towards you. But come to think of it, if we humans really have ill will towards you, what we are appearing on the sea now should not be a small sailing ship, but a huge fleet, gathering five million high-level magicians to directly destroy the entire 'Dragon Island' with forbidden spells. But we didn't do this, for the sake of the lives of our people, for the sake of the blood of our two tribes will not be shed in vain again, I have come to peace talks with you with sincerity, and even I have brought so many jewels, are these jewels in front of me fake?"

The dragon king didn't speak, he was pondering.

The man in black said almost helplessly: "So, okay... ”

He was just about to add something, when an elder of the dragon clan, a green dragon with three long horns on his forehead, said in a low voice: "But, humans, maybe I should think that you dare not attack us, but lure us with various conditions, because you are afraid of our strength. You humans can't defeat us, five million high-level mages, do you have so many mages, what is the population of your entire continent?"

The man in black let out a smack in surprise: "My God, do you doubt our strength? Five million high-level mages are nothing? If necessary, we can mobilize twenty million mages of various lines." Don't you know? In addition to the smallest Bicester Empire, which has a population of less than 30 million, the Van Empire has a population of 270 million, the Wright and Duck Empires have a population of nearly 200 million, the Ritter and Lever Empires each have a population of nearly 150 million, and our Smart Empire has a population of more than 300 million. ”

The man in black gently comforted himself in his heart: "They don't know the specific situation of the mainland, and if they say something big, there should be no problem... Cry, God, the believers of the God of wisdom whom you have taught us will never tell the truth. ”

He continued, "Our seven countries have more than 100,000 temples of all sizes, countless followers of various gods, and more than 70 million priests, priests, and missionaries, and everyone has magical power above the level. Do you think that our strength is weak, especially now that I can show you our strength. ”

The sea parted with a thud, and a full 10,000 mages emerged from the water and flew high into the sky. At the same time, the front deck of the sailboat on the sea was separated from the left and right, and a huge, fifty-foot-tall pure black ** law puppet slowly stood up, surrounded by wind magic, and slowly flew up to the Dragon Island, reaching the sky above the area where they were discussing.

At the same time, 10,000 mages launched the forbidden spell magic 'Meteorite Descending', and huge meteorites roared and fell on the sea surface fifty miles away from 'Dragon Island', and the sea suddenly boiled. The magic golem let out a howl, and the twenty-foot-long greatsword suddenly slashed, and a pillar of rock was split into pieces in the flash.

The magicians' spells did not frighten the dragons, and they could send out twenty wyverns at random, and they could unleash dragon magic with similar power, and even cast spells faster. However, the magic puppet in front of him made the Dragon King shout in surprise: "Dragon Slayer? You guys, you still have such a thing left? That, it should have been completely destroyed during the Divine War." ”

The man in black waved his hand gently, and the 10,000 mages flew in the direction of the mainland without looking back, as if to show that they did not have any ill will towards the 'Dragon Island'. And the so-called dragon slayer machine also opened the breastplate by itself, dismantled the magic crystal inside, and then turned into a stone and smashed heavily on the ground. The man in black laughed, "Okay, now can you trust our sincerity? It's really true, and it doesn't mean to be against the dragons. Peace and development are the founding principles that mankind on our continent is now pursuing. ”

"Peace, friendship and mutual benefit are the norms of our countries. We all have a loving heart, and we will be our friends with any race, as long as they are not hostile. We are not the human beings who were manipulated by the gods during the war of the gods and knew nothing but war. We have our own ideas, our own considerations, a peaceful, prosperous life, and that's what we need. ”

The dragons were a little moved, and they began to talk in whispers from ear to ear. A golden dragon whispered in the dragon king's ear: "If they really have such great power, then it seems that it will not be difficult to destroy us again. After all, we all know that our ancestors were defeated because there were too many human beings. Otherwise, one of our people could kill at least a thousand humans... Now, the population of their country is hundreds of millions, God, what a terrible unit of numbers... Wang, our strength now is not even as good as that of our ancestors. Our population is too small to afford the attrition of war. ”

Another blue dragon secretly said to the dragon king: "Yes, yes, that's the truth, we now use magic to give birth to 10,000 clansmen in order to prevent attacks, what a big loss." If we can live in a relatively stable environment, we can slowly develop the strength of our race. ”

There was also a green dragon who said with great recollection: "King, the things they give are very good, especially the lamb chops, which are really delicious." Well, can we consider making a permanent non-aggression agreement with them, so that we can enjoy those things for a long time. ”

A black dragon who looked older than the Dragon King muttered, "I'm very interested in what he said about establishing our 'Dragon Island' country, maybe our previous failures were because we didn't establish the kind of thing called a country in the Dragon Clan, well, maybe this is an opportunity." I remember that those human countries are divided into a lot of nobles, commoners, warriors, etc., our dragon clan is too simple, except for the king is the elder, and then the clan, is this the reason why we have rarely developed?"

。。。 。。。 。。。 。。。

After a long discussion, the man in black sat down boredly under Dark's wings to block out the somewhat scorching sun. In return to Duck, the man in black made a few barrels of red wine again and poured Duck into his stomach. Dark, who was smacking his tongue and savoring the delicious taste of red wine, had already cast a pitiful look at his father.

When the sun was about to set, the dragon king finally drove away the elders beside him, coughed and spoke: "Very good, human, we unanimously feel that there is nothing harmful to the interests of our dragon clan in an alliance with you. This is an act that we can accept ... As you said, what happened to our ancestors may have been a misfortune that erupted under God's manipulation, but it should not affect the friendly relations between our two races. We should communicate with each other and develop for mutual benefit. ”

The man in black sat lazily on the ground, nodded and said, "Of course, respected patriarch, I also have this opinion. I swear by the gods I believe in, you know, in the name of the gods, but the most sacred oath of all, and we will never break it. Well, I swear in the name of the gods that the seven kingdoms of our continent and the dragon clan will form a permanent alliance, never attack each other, never betray each other, and always get along with each other with a loving heart. This is the unifying oath of humanity on our continent, and now, it's your turn. ”

The dragon king and a group of elders glanced at each other, they continued to think for a while, and after carefully looking at the man in black, they stood up cautiously, solemnly aimed their heads at the sky, and spread their wings behind them. The Dragon King howled loudly, "Since you have made an oath in the name of the gods you worship, then this oath is sacred and valid. Then, in the name of the founding god who created all things, we dragons swear that we will form eternal allies with the humans of the continent, we will never betray, and we will never take the initiative to harm a human being... Of course, if humans attack us, we will fight back ... Of course, if a member of the dragon clan takes the initiative to attack humans, they will be severely punished according to human laws. ”

The man in black applauded loudly and applauded loudly. He quickly took out two large, thick pieces of parchment from his arms, with a bottle of ink and a quill out of nowhere, and said with a smile: "Then, now this is the official terms of our covenant, as long as the patriarch and I draw separately, our contract will be completed... Oh oh, oh, it's not that I don't believe your oath, but I'm going to have to show some evidence to the other humans on the continent, right? ”

The man in black took the initiative and explained the terms of the treaty eloquently: "First, this means that we are absolutely equal to each other, of course, we do not deny that the dragons are in a strong position, and they signed a treaty with us out of friendship." The wyverns, whose pride had been satisfied, nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, it's some specific terms, I don't think everyone is interested in reading the specific content of the terms, it's nothing more than the dragon family buys all the luxury items from us with money equivalent to the market price, and we provide the opportunity to work, so that the dragon can accumulate a lot of wealth... Isn't there absolutely any problem with that, look, who understands human writing? By the way, fortunately, for hundreds of thousands of years, at least some of us humans still remember this ancient writing, otherwise it would be really a problem. ”

"Okay, okay, there's no problem with this clause, isn't it? The following is what I said, we help the dragon clan to build a dragon nation according to the model of the human state, aha, by the way, our seven countries are also willing to cede a piece of fertile land on the continent, so that the dragon clan can live and work in peace and contentment on it. Of course, you can choose to live on Dragon Island and use that piece of land as a villa, and when you have free time, you can just go over and have fun. Of course, out of respect for the countries with which we have diplomatic relations, we can't send troops to help you defend that piece of land, you can consider putting a group of elite soldiers there to maintain social order, right?"

"Oh, you are so generous, there is absolutely no problem with this one, I swear, yes, you can also understand this kind of writing, there is absolutely no problem, rest assured, we have all sworn in the name of the gods, how can we break our promise? ”

"Aha, well, there is a supplementary clause here, that is, when we humans hire dragons to work, dragons should provide the greatest convenience, and we humans must not withhold the dragons' salaries, once the dragons have completed their work, and the 'satisfactorily' and 'perfectly' have met the employer's requirements, we must pay our salaries on time, and we must not deduct our salaries and wait for the next year's New Year, right? Protecting the interests of our dragon allies means protecting our own interests. ”

"Well, well, and here, the people of the dragon clan, if they want to collect wealth, they must go through us. Of course, members of the dragon clan can use magic to scavenge for all kinds of minerals underground, but since we humans are united in protecting the interests of the dragon clan, I think you don't mind our little request. That is, we designate the mineral deposits, and the dragon who exploits the minerals should pay us a little tax. Oh, it's quite simple, it's a little bit of land expropriation tax (maybe there are our farmlands and pastures, isn't it?? that's about lamb chops and wine). Well, a little bit of municipal management fees, oh yes, our managers, need to provide you with the best logistics services... As for other mineral value-added tax, natural environmental protection tax, noise pollution compensation tax for nearby people, etc., they are all minor issues, and it doesn't matter. ”

"Of course, since the above taxes have been agreed, then these taxes are no problem, right? Oh, that is, when you buy lamb chops and red wine, because your body size is too huge, the consumption is too large, for our domestic lamb chops and red wine and other related manufacturing industries will cause a malicious monopoly acquisition situation, in order to protect the interests of other businesses, there should be no problem in charging a certain purchase tax, right? ”

"Really, the friends of the dragon clan are really too friendly, you all agreed? Oh, oh, oh, by the way, it wasn't for this elder to remind me, I forgot that there is another one below, that is to say, we have to follow the general practice of human beings on our continent, for the public welfare facilities of the society and the social welfare of the disabled and widowed, we have to levy personal income tax on all members of the society who are able to work, I swear, this is what everyone has to pay, very good, can you understand? That's great, you know, we have a lot of children and old people to raise, and you can understand the pain of raising children? Oh my God, I've finally found my soulmate... By the way, the dragon baby is really cute, and if this black baby doesn't bite my thigh, it will be even more cute. ”

"Alright, Lord Dragon, you can draw a charge... Oh my God, oh my God, how did I forget that there was such a one? Look, this is on the back, yes, the clerk must have made a mistake, he actually wrote it on the back. Oh, this one is very simple, that is, because the nobles border our Smart Empire, after all, we are only separated by two thousand miles by sea, and we are still very close neighbors.

"Therefore, according to the mainland's custom, our good-neighbor countries must sign a military alliance agreement with a certain relationship. In particular, the distance between 'Dragon Island' and several other countries is too close, and we signed such an agreement to maintain our mutual security... Yes, in order to minimize military conflicts. By the way, what about this agreement, let me explain, it's the so-called 'common law of things', that is, any attack on your dragon clan is an attack on our Smart Empire... Of course, what you can understand is that the attack on our Smart Empire is equivalent to an active attack on the Dragons. ”

"Yes, yes, it is really an incomparably honorable honor for the Dragon King to be able to understand this clause. There is relative rights and interests only if there is pay, and our Smart Empire will definitely use all our military strength to ensure the interests of the dragon allies, oh oh oh, oh oh, we are allies, how can I not believe your sincerity?。。。 God, you're so kind, but since you have to swear that the nobles' army will guarantee the safety of our Smart Empire, then I'm sorry to accept it. ”

"Okay, please draw it, by the way, can you make your claws a little smaller? God, you can change into human-like shapes? It's convenient, good, good, write your name... Of course, write your dragon name as well, so it will be more legally beneficial. If it's not too troublesome, please come and sign your name as well, after all, there are more witnesses, and our covenant is guaranteed, right?"

When his saliva was almost dry, the man in black finally shut up, and he carefully folded a piece of parchment and put it into his arms, and the other one was naturally collected by the dragon king. This agreement, which records the friendship covenant between the dragons and humans, must occupy an incomparably glorious page in history, right?

The man in black sighed contentedly, and then, he let out a surprised voice: "What? You ask how many other countries are close to you? Oh, let me think about it, hmm, the southernmost port of our Smart Empire is about more than 2,900 miles away from Dragon Island, I took a whole number just now, there is no need to add the fraction of more than 900 to it... As for the other countries, the nearest one is the Levou Empire, and their nearest outlet to the sea should be more than a thousand miles away from our port. ”

"Oh, yes, God, did I say that the other countries are very close to Dragon Island? God of Wisdom, did I say such a thing?"

A bad feeling appeared in the hearts of the dragon kings... Isn't the god of intrigue the one known among the gods for never telling the truth?

The man in black seemed to sense something, he nodded at the dragon king with a grin, hawed his waist, and then said with a smile: "Then, the matter is settled." I don't think you will have any doubts, right?Very good, that's fine, I should also return to the Smart Empire, you know, after all, I am the emperor of the Smart Empire, and it's not a fun thing to leave the imperial capital for too long... By the way, I forgot to introduce it, I'm Kalin, the Emperor of Smart's Empire, and by the way, I'm Kalin. ”

"Hahahaha, this elder must be joking, how can I have other meanings? Our Smart Empire and the Dragon Clan signed a military mutual assistance treaty, also for mutual security, although I am the emperor of the Smart Empire, but this title can't say anything... It's not been a few days since I've been holding the position of the emperor, but it's just the name of an emperor, what's the big deal? His Majesty the Dragon King can also claim to be the emperor now, after all, the Dragon Kingdom is about to be established. ”

The dragon king and the elders exchanged glances with each other, and their brains began to ache. They were a little depressed, their ancestors had consumed too much power on the Forgotten Continent, and the wisdom they could inherit was limited. If they could truly inherit all the knowledge of the dragons, maybe they should know what this human was talking about, right?

Carlin smiled and waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, then, now that everything is done, it is a pleasant and beautiful meeting, it will definitely go down in history, I swear, I believe it will." ”

The dragons watched in a daze as Carlin staggered away, and they suddenly realized that they had signed a pact with the humans without any practical benefits, except for a free tasting of a bunch of lamb chops (worth 10,000 gold coins), a bunch of red wine (worth 100,000 gold coins), and a bunch of jewels (just looted from the home of the old emperor's supporters of the Smart Empire, and the Carlins' own savings had not been touched at all).

What makes them especially depressed is that it seems that they have taken a big advantage in the agreement, unlike their ancestors, they can go to the mainland to buy their favorite food and wine, and they can live in harmony with humans. However, it takes a lot of money to buy those luxuries, and where do they get that money? rob it? Isn't that forcing themselves to be punished? Mining feels like being a free miner for humans. Working for humans in exchange for wages? God, wouldn't humans be able to command the noble dragons to work with a pile of lamb chops and red wine?

The dragon king and the elders looked at each other and froze.

Carlin suddenly ran back in small steps, and said with a grin, "Ladies and gentlemen, it occurred to me that since we have reached an agreement, then you are obliged to fulfill the terms of the agreement. Oh, yes, I have a business right now that I need to hire a lot of dragons to help with... Rest assured, I will protect the interests of our allies. I don't know if I'm the most honest emperor on the mainland?Don't worry, everything is fine... In this way, for each wyvern, I will hire him for ten catties of gold every day, a total of ten thousand wyverns, and then I will hire them for about ten days. ”

"By the way, don't you think that the time we spend traveling, eating, and sleeping will count towards our employment time? Well, it would be nice if you could understand what I mean ... Well, since there is no problem with the time, then, out of the concern of the allies, I will provide a batch of more valuable artworks in place of those gold, rest assured, it is guaranteed to be worth the money. For example, 1,700 years ago, a famous human beauty used a golden toilet, what a commemorative thing... The price of this on the black market is worth more than a hundred catties of gold. ”

"Hahaha, you have no opinion? That's great, hehehehe... So, I won't bother you, if there is any problem, I will send a messenger over, okay, goodbye, I hope you have time to go to Smart Emperor as a guest, hehehehe... ”

Tens of thousands of wyverns stood blankly on the beach of Dragon Island, watching the sinister Carlin proudly shake his thighs and twist his hips onto the deck of the sailboat.

The sails were raised again, and Carlin saw that Dragon Island had disappeared from view, and he immediately tore off the black robe on his body, and after a long breath, he wiped the cold sweat that kept flowing down his forehead. After being busy for a while, Carlin gritted his teeth gloomily and muttered an order: "Go back to the empire and order that the price of all food, wine, and art on the market should be more than ten times the market price... Hmph, see if I don't knock out the last copper plate of those dragons... Their ancestors were wiped out, but they still have some secret cellars, right? It's exciting to think about, the treasure of the dragon that has been hidden for hundreds of thousands of years, I really don't know what good things are in it. ”

With Carlin's triumphant laughter, the sailboat hurried home.

Halfway through, the sailboat ran into a fleet of ships that had come to meet the rescue. Tens of thousands of soaking mages who were soaked in the sea and almost fainted were climbing up the rope ladder to the sailboat. Carlin stood on the bow of the ship, shook his head, and said with great hatred: "You low-level priests, can't you work harder? Can't your magic power be a little stronger? It's just that you gather the power of 10,000 people to send out a forbidden spell, and you almost can't fly to the sea where the rescue fleet is waiting, you... I dare boast that we have five million High Mages ... Damn, if we really had five million mages, not to mention high-level, even if it was five million low-level mages, we would have swept away the sinners a long time ago. Hum... ”

In the midst of Carlin's disgruntled muttering, and in the light of the sunset, a large section of the golden sailing ship floated on the waterline, heading for the port of the Smart Empire.

Carlin's curse could be vaguely heard: "Damn, I was so nervous, I was in too much of a hurry, I actually forgot about that fake dragon slayer... However, I don't think the dragons will touch that kind of thing, right? I'm not afraid that they will see the flaws... What if they saw it? Anyway, the agreement has already been signed with me, as long as I don't go crazy to pull a piece of their dragon king's dragon scales down, will they still break their dragon's most sacred oath? ”
