Chapter 84: Let the Dragons Work for Themselves
"Sputnik?huh...... What are you talking about, President Xu, it's so big in space, how can I touch an artificial satellite? Let me tell you, the magic space in the sky is frighteningly stable, and I mobilize the magic element with great ease, it's really ......"
"Kassandra. Xu Yi interrupted Kassandra's words with a calm face. "Akali told me that dragons don't care to lie. ”
Kassandra was stunned, blinked her eyes, and was stunned for a long time before bowing her head.
"This ...... Chairman Xu, I just happened to see the Sputnik flying past me, and I thought it was funny, and then I chased after it and flew faster than anyone, and I didn't do anything superfluous......"
Seeing that Kassandra finally admitted, Xu Yi smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"I know. Otherwise, would I just ask you instead of coming for your trouble?"
Kassandra immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and when she raised her head again, she was refreshed.
"Hey, President Xu, why are you scaring me when you already know?"
"The Chamber of Commerce's magic illusion camera on Sputnik only captured a dark shadow, but it's not sure it's you. I just asked casually, but I didn't expect you to admit it, but I didn't have to guess again. ”
Kassandra was stunned for a moment, then shouted in some shame.
"President Xu, you humans are really liar......s!
"You did fly next to Sputnik, didn't you? Or rather, you have actually harassed our Chamber of Commerce's Sputnik for a long time, haven't you?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
Kassandra was stunned and snorted angrily, "So what? I didn't destroy it! I just didn't think it was fun to be the only one in the sky, so I just let it accompany me!"
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
If you count it by age. Kassandra is actually about to turn over two hundred years old this year.
But judging by the age of the mind. She was younger than Yanis, a girl who was only a hundred years old this year.
This is in addition to the fact that the life of the dragons is longer than that of the elves. It is also related to the fact that the social environment of the dragons is more simple, and young dragons like Kassandra are basically not afraid of the world.
If this were not the case, Kassandra would not have easily believed the exploration fleet sent by the New Flyers Chamber of Commerce at first, and promised them to go to the Sainz continent to report the news, and then easily believed Xu Yi and the others, and even became good friends with Akali later.
Of course, the dragons themselves are too strong, and there really isn't much to threaten them. So they don't need to have so many unnecessary guards.
"Didn't you just say that flying in space is fun?" asked Xu Yixiao.
"It's not that fun when you fly for a long time. Kassandra shook her head. "So I decided, this time I must go back and tell the clansmen, and everyone will fly into the sky to play. ”
"Hmm...... Kassandra, do you think all your people have the ability to fly freely in space?" Xu Yi suddenly asked.
"Absolutely. There are many more people in the clan who are stronger than me, and I can do it, and of course they can. ”
"Not necessarily. Xu Yi shook his head with a serious expression. "Kassandra, we did a lot of preliminary work before you broke through the atmosphere. Ensure all the data in space, and calculate that the space environment will not pose a fatal threat to you. will promise to let you fly up. Now you are free to fly in space, but it is only for you, not for every one of your people. If something goes wrong, do you want to see your people explode to their deaths the moment they break through the atmosphere?"
A hint of horror crossed Kassandra's face, "It's not that scary, is it?
"As I said, this is just your case. ”
"What then? I'd like to make an appointment with those guys in the clan who can fly faster than anyone in space. ”
"Do you really want to?" Xu asked, staring at Kassandra.
"Of course. ”
"That's good. Now you can fly into space, and although it's just an example, it can be representative of the dragons in general. The reason I just said this is because the data we have collected about space is not perfect and cannot be 100% certain, so we cannot let your people risk it. But if the data collection is good enough, we know everything about what's going on in space......"
"I see. Kassandra interrupted Xu Yi. "You just want me to help you collect data, don't you?"
"Clever. Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Isn't there a Sputnik?"
"But artificial satellites are not as flexible as you are in the sky, and artificial satellites are artificial satellites after all, not dragons, and the data they collect is difficult to use as a practical reference. ”
"That's right...... Then I get it. Kassandra nodded, touched her chin and thought for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stretched out her hand to Xu Yi with a smile.
Xu Yi looked at the delicate and white palm stretched out in front of him by Kassander in amazement.
"What for?"
"If I work for you, you're going to pay me, aren't you?" Kassandra laughed, trying to make a treacherous expression.
Xu Yi stared at her with wide eyes.
"That's what Akali taught you, too?"
"Does this still need Akaliism? isn't that true of you humans?" Kassandra replied with a sense of urgency. "Since each of you humans needs to be paid for doing things, then of course I need to do things for you, which is fair, right?"
"It's fair. Xu Yi glanced at her angrily, then his heart moved, he thought for a moment, and continued: "In that case, Kassandra, you go back and help me ask, is there any other clansman who is willing to work for us?" ”
"Didn't you just say that people other than me had better not fly into space and adventure?"
"They are needed for more than just flying into space to help us collect data, there are many other jobs that are suitable for them. ”
"That's ......"
"By the way, it would be better if you were willing to learn to trade in a human way to get what you wanted, and I could give you gold coins as a payment, which would be more convenient for both of us. ”
"If you need gold, we have a lot of it in our clan, and you don't need to give it at all. Kassandra said with a smug expression. "Don't worry, I just want you to offer me something more fun. Like more magic movies or something. My people are sure to demand these things as much as I do, and you don't have to worry about us asking for anything too much. ”
"No...... What I hope you learn is just to adapt to the way we trade as human beings. Although gold coins are still a common currency, money is not the same thing as gold. Maybe...... In the future, we will trade with pieces of paper. ”
"Piece of paper?" Kassandra looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes, a look of disbelief.
Xu Yi naturally didn't bother to explain the basics of currency to her, smiled and brushed the topic over, and then quickly reached a verbal agreement with Kassandra.
Kassandra is willing to work for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and she will also go back and tell her Red Dragons to work for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will pay them the equivalent of gold coins.
As for the price...... Kassandra is tentatively set at half of Akali's current salary, which is sixty gold coins per month.
The rest of the clan will be discussed according to the specific work.
Seeing Kassandra excitedly re-transform into a flying dragon form and soar into the sky, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile proudly.
For the price of sixty gold coins a month, he was able to hire a dragon to work for him, which was simply the best deal he had ever made.
Moreover, Kassandra's work is irreplaceable, not to mention only sixty gold coins a month, even six hundred gold coins a month is by no means a lot.
You know, when Kassandra works for a long time in the future, her scope of work can be further expanded.
For example, with her ability to fly freely in space, and even easily catch up with the speed of artificial satellites, she can fully undertake the daily maintenance, repair and even recycling of artificial satellites.
Compared to the follow-up work on artificial satellites on Earth, which is basically undeveloped, Xu Yi now has a big killer like Kassandra, which can simply envy all the people of the National Space Agency on Earth.
"Hey, Xu Yi, don't you feel ashamed to deceive an innocent little girl from the dragon clan?" Seeing that Kassandra had flown away, Steele ended his swim and returned to Xu Yi.
"How can this be called a deception?" Xu was not surprised that Steele overheard his conversation with Kassandra. With Steele's current strength at the level of a great magician, as long as she was willing, and the other party had nothing to guard against, it would be easy to hear any sound from hundreds of meters away. "I made it clear to her, and I didn't hide it at all. ”
"Hmph, you didn't tell her how special her job is. ”
"Dragons are inherently special. Xu Yizheng said. "I can't ask for this opportunity to make the Dragons officially our partners. But for the sake of the future, I can't have set the price too high in the first place, can I?"
"Well, I understand. Steele nodded, sat down beside Xu Yi, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Then again, Xu Yi, it seems that you really plan to focus on the Demon Cloud Continent?"
"That's right. Compared to the Sainz Continent, the situation on the Demon Cloud Continent is much simpler. As long as the problem of the goblin clan is solved, the Demon Cloud Continent can be built at will according to my heart. ”
"If something happens on the continent of Sainz......"
"What could happen?" Xu Yi smiled at Steele and reached out and touched her still smooth face. "Honestly, Steele, have you ever considered retirement?" )
