"Mastering technology, mastering more advanced technology, mastering more advanced and disruptive technology, my children and grandchildren must remember that this is the most effective way to create a lot of wealth quickly.

When the Leviathan took to the skies, the ancient commercial transportation mode of Medici and the entire world of Ash had been completely overturned, and no one could stop the 'Scales of Eternal Order' from amassing wealth. ”

——Santos, founder of the Sha Rhino chaebol and an early member of the "Scales of Eternal Order" Chamber of Commerce, "Santos Ben Zosse's Letter to the Descendants"

When the roof of the laboratory was hinged up, the Leviathan rose from Midtown, to the surprise of all the people in Nome. This flying beast that had never appeared before in the ash world first brought endless panic, and after the City Watch rushed to inform him, the panic turned into shock in a very short time.

A few days later, when the pod was fully built, the massive bio-vehicle welcomed its first visitors. Those invited by Quest were representatives of businessmen from all walks of life.

Many of these people do not live in Nome. But when they heard that the dragon Pasha had built a massive Leviathan, they all arrived at Nome City as fast as they could with 120,000 curiosity, either on the mage's flying carpet or on a camel beast all night.

Even the birth of the Leviathan spread to the imperial capital of Beit, and General Potbelly, who had worked with Quest, came to see the Leviathan's maiden voyage with a group of nobles.

In this regard, although the dragon Pasha did not notify before, he also expressed a warm welcome attitude, after all, this is also conducive to the further promotion of Leviathan flying vehicles.

However, for some unknown purpose, the official Medici tour did not use the usual flying carpet, but came to Nome City in a modified Uso airship.

When the "Flying Fortress", which had been reduced by several times, arrived, the accompanying mage first built an obelisk more than 30 feet high outside the city as a mooring tower before it was able to anchor and dock smoothly.

"Your Excellency, this is all improvised by those noble mages. "When General Medici visited the young Blue Dragon at the Pasha camp in Midtown, he immediately made a clear connection with the mages of the Obsidian Council, "After they heard that you had built an 'airship', they didn't know what they were crazy about, and they cobbled together such a thing from the spoils of the Usan......

Through his communication with General Potbelly, Quest learns that this is the work of the Obsidian Council again. Recently, Davishuer has been closed to the door, leading many people to think that he may have been injured in Usang and is recuperating. And it was on this occasion that the Obsidian Council began to expand its influence. One of the most important measures is to suppress the officials of the Medici who have been promoted and appointed by Davishuer.

Quest's title of "Pasha" belongs to the highest position of Medici that has been granted in recent years, and because he is a dragon, it is not surprising that he is targeted by the Obsidian Council, which takes it as its duty to defend the interests of noble mages and the aristocratic class.

"It's really too simplistic and crude. The young blue dragon who learned about this secretly complained that he really didn't expect the council to be so positive and tough, "Didn't they consider the form of 'buying'?"

Indeed, the Obsidian Council had let him down, and those noble mages probably didn't even have the word 'buy' in their dictionaries. From their point of view, the very existence of the dragon Pasha was a challenge to the Medici aristocracy.

The Leviathan, on the other hand, was purely a show off of military prowess - although the "fanatic armor" was not less expensive to buy. However, before the group came to Nome, the Obsidian Council spent a lot of money to repair a Usang airship and named it the "Blazing Sun Boat" to show off its strength to the young blue dragon.

When the pot-bellied general paid a visit to the dragon Pasha, the representatives of the nobles who remained on the airship were also holding their own meetings in full swing. The noble mages sent by the Council even used magic to ensure that the content of the conversation would not be detected.

"As you know," said the middle-aged nobleman in a dark blue mage robe, stroking his beard and in a very contagious tone, slowly but succinctly, "the Medici Empire has just experienced the invasion of the Utesans, and although we have finally emerged victorious, we have still paid great losses - a blizzard, a breach of the Nero River, and a predictable grain failure for the coming year...... The fiefs of several nobles here have been affected, but the dragon Pasha, who faced the advance legion of the Uzaans, seems to have managed his territory well. The 'Buying Tournament', the 'Fanatic Armor', and the 'Leviathan' that we are about to visit are all generating a lot of money for him. But have you ever wondered where the initial funds for his initiation of these things came from? The five-colored dragon, who is known for his greed for money, is willing to embezzle the silver Kate in his lair? Of course not, the dragon Pasha has managed to scrape together the huge start-up costs by squeezing the fortunes of the Medici nobles......

Seeing that everyone present was attracted by his speech, Lillett bowed slightly in satisfaction, stretched out the palm of his hand into a fist and swung it down vigorously, and concluded categorically: "Since it is the start-up capital obtained from the aristocracy, we also have the right to benefit from it—I mean, the Leviathan is a good compensation." ”

Full bandit mentality - "what's yours is mine" is very similar to the general idea of a five-colored dragon. It's a pity that he's not a dragon, and our protagonist Quest has the same thoughts as him.

"You mean that the 'Blazing Sun Boat' doesn't need to add coal or black oil, and that there is a magical artifact connected to the earth elemental plane installed on it, which can be refueled at any time?" Listening to the big belly's narration, the young blue dragon suddenly became interested in a certain piece of information leaked in his words, and asked in a slightly surprised way.

"Sure enough......," General Medici thought to himself. Before leaving for Nome City, the Captain of the Wind of the Great Vishur paid a secret visit to him, taught him some words, and told him to reveal them to the dragon Pasha: "There is a special strange object on the airship made by the Obsidian Council - the 'Oremochi's Barrel of Waste', with which it can communicate with the Earth Elemental Plane at any time, and only requires a very small amount of precious metals or gems in exchange, and can replenish a large amount of black oil, coal, or other fuel that is regarded as waste by the creatures of the Earth Elemental Plane at any time. ”

Very detailed news - Quis thought about it for a while and understood that the potbelly was actually a "porter". Nine times out of ten, this news was deliberately passed on to him by the scheming Great Veshur, and it was a plan to kill two birds with one stone - that is, to help the Medici Empire defeat the Usang Expeditionary Legion, and to bring a big problem to the Obsidian Council.

It's another conspiracy. Even if he was unwilling, the young blue dragon still had to admit that good things like "Oremoqi's Barrel of Waste Slag" were delivered to his mouth, how could he not laugh at it?
