Tanning, not only is he a violent dragon, but he is also obviously a chatterbox.
However, thanks to this guy's words, Xia Xin gained a lot and learned a lot of valuable information.
The first is the identity of Tanning, who turned out to be a legendary dragon.
The so-called legendary dragon refers to the dragon that is sung in the world, there are only eight dragons, and less than half of them are still active.
The Second Heavenly Dragon, who had disrupted the battlefield of the three parties, was only in the third rank.
Tanning, on the other hand, belongs to the fourth rank - the Six Great Dragon Kings.
Now, of course, it's not a dragon, it's a demon.
And beyond that, there's the matter of the original land of Aini.
Xia Xin, as a descendant of Aini, is already a sure thing to be restored, and what promotes this thing is the noble family of the original seventy-two pillars, Aini's new territory has been allocated, calculated in the unit of the human world, it is nearly 500,000 square kilometers, but in terms of land quality, it is only a third-class general land in the underworld, and the old Aini is in the hinterland of the devil, which belongs to the second-class high-quality land, about 200,000 square kilometers.
Obviously, the Demon King is going to use the area to make up for the quality defect, but this is just a theory, in fact, if you really want to compare the 500,000 third and 200,000 second places, whether it is population or output, the former is far inferior to the latter, the land of the underworld is constant in quality, and the third place will not become the second class no matter how it is developed and maintained, and vice versa.
And now, the territory of the old Ani has been scattered in the hands of many nobles, most of them are reincarnated demon nobles, and a few are pure-blood demon nobles, but almost all of them are the families of the seventy-two pillars.
However, the lords can redistribute or exchange land through gambling and fighting, which is the tradition of demonic society, and as a tradition within the tradition, it is the "retrieval of territory".
In the contemporary era when ranked games are flourishing, the gambling of the demon lords is also in the form of games, but Xia Xin has just received the chess pieces, and he obviously does not have this ability.
Therefore, if Xia Xin intends to exchange for his former land, he must adopt the most traditional king-to-king gambling method - Aini has the dignity of a duke, and it is impossible to deign to fight with the other party's dependents.
In fact, the pure-blooded demon nobles are easier to deal with, especially those seventy-two pillar families, the restoration of the Aini family was originally promoted by them, and the restoration of the old Aini Leader was planned from the beginning, but the reincarnation of the demon nobles is another matter.
In Tanning's words, the restoration of the Aini family and the Aini Collar has actually become an arena of struggle between pure-blood nobles and reincarnated nobles.
Tannin seems to find this amusing, completely ignoring the fact that he is also a reincarnated demon......
Although Xia Xin wanted to remind him, he gave up considering the reason why this guy became a demon.
Tanning's body is indeed a demon, but its mind is still a dragon king, not a demon lord.
This chattering dragon king flew really fast, so fast that Xia Xin felt that it was a good thing that he hadn't forgotten to improve his strength, but even so, he still had to protect Erica, but Erica's strength had not yet reached the point where he could sit firmly on the back of a dragon king at this speed.
The earth below was swept by at an astonishing speed, and when it crossed the mountains, the view was an endless plain in which rivers flowed, and the land was fertile and green.
Such a large plain, if it was in the human world, would have become an important grain production base long ago, but here, it is sparsely populated, and only some village-level population gathering places can be seen sporadically.
If it weren't for the dragon's flight over these places, which would have attracted cries from below, Xia Xin would have suspected that this was no man's land.
The land is so vast and sparsely populated, it's a luxury.
However, Xia Xin's emotion did not last long, and soon, he began to find that the situation on the ground had become different.
The houses became more and more numerous, the pristine greenery, began to be replaced by cultivated fields and paths interspersed with them, and in the distance, the silhouettes of large buildings could be seen.
As the dragon king flew in, Xia Xin also saw it clearly.
That's a city.
The huge castle stands in the center, and it is surrounded by modern buildings that surround it layer by layer, covering a vast area, and at a glance, it is a modern city.
And this reflects the enormity of this castle, which can be described as magnificent in appearance, and in this environment, there is no rustic feeling at all, but it feels more spectacular.
It is also a destination for Tanning.
The ancestral city of the Aini clan has undergone countless years of repair and expansion before it reaches its current scale.
In the hundreds of years that the Aini clan was cut off, it was owned by outsiders, and although it was not stopped, it was not carried out in the name of Aini.
If Xia Xin really claimed to be the heir of the Aini family, he should be ashamed, but unfortunately he was not.
In various senses, Uncle Xia Xin's mentality is very correct - a windfall from the sky, he is here to add wealth.
The dragonlord's body began to swoop, which is interesting, unlike other dragons, accelerating instead of slowing down before descending......
Xia Xin clearly heard the exclamation coming from the ground, and at the same time heard the dragon king's voice of satisfaction.
Obviously, the acceleration during the descent was definitely not due to the actual need for the landing......
In the wind, one dragon and two demons landed successfully.
I say this because before the dragon king touched the ground, Xia Xin and Erica had already known each other very well and flew by themselves.
The two of them landed lightly on what appeared to be a marble floor in the air currents raised by the dragon king.
This is a platform on the castle, although it may be a large balcony for this huge castle.
Many demons stood here, gorgeously dressed, and their eyes were mainly focused on Xia Xin, with different expressions.
The expressions of a small number of people seemed to be more kind, and most of them did not show any obvious intentions, and only a very small number of them were somewhat hostile.
The most intense is a man who is equivalent to a forty-year-old human in physiognomy, this is a reincarnated demon, there is a slight difference in the aura between the reincarnated demon and the pure-blood demon, although the creatures outside the demon can hardly detect this, but the demons themselves can clearly feel it.
Xia Xin felt that this guy should logically be the current lord of the local area—the only way to explain why his hostility was so strong.
And among a group of demons, the one who caught Xia Xin's attention the most was a handsome red-haired guy.
It's not because he's handsome, but the clothes he wears are quite eye-catching to Xia Xin - it's both armor and cloak, which can be said to be the only one in the audience, and it's just arrogant.
And in him, Xia Xin couldn't feel the fluctuation of magic power at all, which meant that Xia Xin's current strength was completely in front of this demon......
"Duke Aini, we've been waiting for you for a long time, and I think Tanning should have made it clear to you on the road."
The red-haired demon walked out of the crowd with a hearty smile, and the other demons, at least on the surface, showed him a respectful look.
"I'm Sazex Lucifer, the current Demon King, your knighthood grantor, let's get down to business first, do you want to ask the Marquis of Ramonton for a land exchange?"
