Chapter 6: Mutual Friends
Since you spell magic......
Luke changed his posture to hold the spear, and the Greedy Dragon Spear looked like a spear, but it was actually ...... It is a top-of-the-line wand.
The mysterious substance mixture "Aria of the Burning Cloud Tide Song", Luke has completed the absorption of the fourth dose, although it is still the last dose away from the most perfect fire elemental affinity, but it should be enough to deal with a black dragon.
Luke pointed his spear at him, and the gluttony flew into the air.
The gluttonous ancient dragon inheritance has reached its final stage, and its roar resonates with the dragons, and when the dragons roar, they realize how to cheer on their opponents.
Aware of the extraordinary origins of this dragon-like creature, the dragons looked at the golden dragon King Tyranny, who was lying on the high base, silent, quietly watching the battle that was about to break out in the field.
The dragons had no choice but to concentrate on maintaining the shield and praying for the black dragon in their hearts.
The gluttony hovers in the air, and five magic circles appear and revolve around it, and the magic power is accumulated in the magic array, and the air-to-ground bombardment can be turned on at any time.
Luke slammed the Greedy Dragon Spear to the ground, spreading the earth in a circle of ripples, and then setting off waves of fire. In the wave of fire, a fire snake composed of six fire elements rose, the snake's head faced the black dragon, the snake's mouth opened, and the blazing fireball condensed in the snake's mouth.
Above the field, dark clouds were thick, and after a thunderbolt flickered in the clouds, the black clouds turned into red clouds. More and more lightning appeared, the lightning was white at first, but it reacted with the fire element in the red cloud, and the white lightning turned a deep purple.
The rumbling sound was endless, and the electric chains in the clouds were connected and combined to form a continuous power grid.
However, this is not the end of the story.
The ancient dragon language was chanted from Luke's mouth, and five floating magic arrays also appeared around him, and the formation technique was aimed at the black dragon, and the magic power was condensed in the array, and the light became more and more vigorous.
When the black dragon saw such a scene, he immediately replenished several shields, and all the attack magic spells gathered by the floating magic array were revoked, and they were all changed to defensive magic.
Layers of shields and shields protect the black dragon inside, and the dragon armor is also full of brilliance, pulling all kinds of magic resistance to the maximum.
This one was completely turned into a battle between shield and spear to see who came out on top.
"Since you defend it, then I will attack!"
After Luke finished speaking, the Fire Falling Thunder Boy in his right eye burst out with a strong purple light, and a purple thunderbolt crackled down from the fire cloud. A shield moved over the black dragon to catch the thunder blow, and the shield was instantly shattered, and the thunder also scattered into scattered electric sparks and disappeared.
New shields are produced, and dense thunderbolts are falling non-stop.
At the same time, the fire snake spits out fireballs, and the magic circle around Luke and Gluttony simultaneously releases magic beams, which are saturated like a Gatling gun and tilts fire at the black dragon.
In the fire cloud in the sky, meteorite-like fireballs fell with a whistling sound.
Spreading fire, thunder, and magical energy melted into the tide and slammed into the protective barrier around the field. The ripples of the fire clinged to the barrier and climbed upward, and the inside of the barrier was like a blast furnace for steelmaking, and the light became brighter and brighter, so that people outside could no longer see what was happening inside the screen.
Agatha and her entourage were stunned.
They had never seen such a ferocious magical confrontation, unlike the magnificence of Clear Sky vs. the Presequential Holy Book Theresia, the battle between the Meteorite and the Black Dragon was simply brutal.
The center of the battle is like a high-powered exhaust fan, frantically pumping magical elements from the entire area. The directional flow of magical elements formed bands of colorful light, which were then drawn into the protective barrier in a vortex.
The roaring thunder seemed to tear the sky apart, and the shaking earth seemed as if a volcano was about to erupt.
King Tyranny, the golden dragon, stood up and spread his wings into the sky with a high-pitched dragon roar, and all the dragons spread their wings in unison. High in the sky, the dragons that flew back from the city of Shenglun circled around the fire clouds, and the dragons roared one after another.
The airships of the City Guard Corps greeted them, the gun doors on the side opened, and the magic projectile cannon was loaded and ready to fire.
The accompanying guards stepped forward to protect Agatha behind her.
Sandpaper and her sisters all floated, their hair flying into battle mode, boiling and setting up magic cannons against the magic barrier.
A war between the Golden Shield Empire and the Dragon Kingdom will break out at any time due to misfire.
At this moment, the magical frenzy behind the barrier came to an abrupt end, and after all the brilliance was extinguished, the middle of the arena had been bombarded beyond recognition. The upturned earth was burned into a glass shape by the hot fire, and six fiery snakes wrapped around the black dragon, binding his wings, wrapping around his neck, and shrinking the dragon's mouth.
The black dragon struggled to fight the fiery serpent, but was still bound by the fiery serpent's limbs, and eventually fell to the ground on its side. The black dragon's body was blown up with green smoke, a large area of dragon scales was lifted, and the flesh and blood were burned in a scorched lake.
The gluttony fell from the sky, pressed the black dragon's head with its front paws, and opened its mouth to bite its neck.
"I admit it, we lost!"
Hearing that the Golden Dragon King Tyran had opened his mouth to admit defeat, Luke immediately stopped his gluttony.
Gluttony flew back to Luke's side, shrunk back and forth on him a few times, and then burrowed into the back of his right hand and turned back into a dragon pattern.
The dragons lifted the protective barrier, and one by one the dragons in the air landed in their respective high bases.
The golden dragon King Tyran recited a dragon language, and the fiery serpent that bound the black dragon suddenly turned into black charcoal and scattered into ashes.
The black dragon stood up without speaking, and after saluting King Tyranny, he jumped on his high base, buried his head in his wings, and lay down.
"I'm supposed to be the one who fights you." The golden dragon squatted on the high base, his attitude was still arrogant, but his tone was much calmer, and he even used honorifics: "Black Dragon Bali is not enough to be your opponent in terms of strength or identity." ”
Seeing such a big change in the attitude of King Tyranny, the golden dragon, Luke immediately understood that he must have seen the inheritance of gluttony.
This is an encounter with an old dragon!
He should be honoring Banat, who has become a dragon soul.
Since the Golden Dragon King Tyran didn't say anything, Luke also played dumb riddles with him: "It's not too late for you to end now, and Gluttony and I are very much looking forward to fighting you." ”
The golden dragon looked at the airship pressing from the sky, and then looked at Luke: "If we fight now, I'm afraid we won't be able to restrain our subordinates." War is not what I want, and it should not be what you want. ”
Luke replied: "We love peace, but in order to protect the citizens of the Empire, we are not incapable of accepting war. ”
At this time, Agatha came to Luke's side, she did not know the tacit understanding that Luke and the golden dragon King Tyran had just reached, so she was very careful to guard the dragons.
In front of them, a black dragon was beaten like this, and I was afraid that this group of dragons would be angry.
However, to Agatha's surprise, the golden dragon King Tyron said, "I apologize to you for the trouble we have caused your country these days, and I promise that the dragon will no longer enter the sky above the city at will." ”
Is this softening?
Is this the Golden Dragon King?
As Agatha's brain went into disarray, Luke said, "No, we want the dragons to come over the Empire often and put a little pressure on the other guests of the Empire." But please don't chase the airship and don't threaten the safety of the citizens of the Empire. ”
A smile appeared on the Golden Dragon King's face: "This is also the purpose of our visit to Saint Lun City, if you don't like those guests, let us do what pressures them." ”
Agatha looked at the golden dragon and then at Luke, and couldn't figure out how the first time they met, one man and one dragon, laughed at the same time treacherous.
Agatha leaned close to Luke and whispered, "What are you plotting with these dragons?" ”
Luke replied, "There's nothing plotting right now, just that these dragons are potential allies." ”
"Allies?" Agatha looked incredulously at the dragons standing on the high base, a little uncomfortable with this rapid change of faction.
Luke whispered, "It's not appropriate to go too deep here, I'll find an opportunity to meet King Tyran alone to see how well the Empire and the dragon can work together." ”
"I knew that you would definitely be able to solve the trouble caused by the dragon when you came to the imperial capital, but I didn't expect it to be solved in this way......" Agatha hesitated for a moment and asked, "Since you are an ally...... Do you want food and accommodation expenses? ”
"If you don't say it, I almost forgot. Even if it's allies, we can't keep them in vain, this money must be! ”
Luke turned to the Golden Dragon King Tyranny, and said, "Since you have decided to follow our rules. So...... Can you settle the food expenses for these days? In addition, you occupy this steel mill, and the reduction in steel production every day is also a huge loss for us. ”
"It is your honor for the dragon to patronize your city. Do you have to pay for eating a few of your cows and occupying an unmanned steel mill? ”
Luke said, "King Tyranny, you are an ancient dragon who has lived through ancient wars, don't lie with your eyes open. A few cows, can you feed your sixteen dragons?
And the cattle we supply you with are no ordinary cattle. The bison you used to eat were run around without any one to manage them, eating mud and grass covered with dung and drinking sewage with silt. The meat of that kind of beef has no texture and a fishy taste.
The cattle we supply to you are kept on clean farms, and they are fed every day by mixing all kinds of grains, and the water we drink must be purified in 38 processes. Cattle that can be sent have to go through layers of selection, not too small cows, too old cows, and no low intelligence cows.
Ladies and gentlemen, don't you think that the beef that the Empire has provided you with has a much better texture and taste than the cows you have eaten before? ”
Speaking of the beef he had eaten recently, the dragon nodded with deep feeling.
Although it is not known how the intelligence of a cow affects the taste of beef, beef with a high IQ is indeed delicious. The meat is tender and not loose and does not stuff the teeth, and the taste is much better than the bison I used to eat.
Another reason why dragons are so keen to go out and be active is because they eat too much.
King Tyranny, the Golden Dragon, pondered.
He led the dragons to the Holy Lun City of the Golden Shield Empire in order to find out what the angels wanted to do here. But after a period of investigation, nothing was found.
The dragon's target is too big, and he is not familiar with human cities, so if he wants to find out more information, he needs the locals to be his eyes and ears. The dragons are doing nothing these days, and trying not to hurt people, just to force the empire to send people to negotiate and occupy a favorable negotiating position.
Now the Golden Shield Empire is not weak and deceitful on the surface, an elf clear sky can defeat the first holy book Theresia, and the mysterious human in front of him is not weaker than himself.
I don't know how many such powerful people are still hidden in the Golden Shield Empire.
Fortunately, both parties have a mutual friend who can reach a certain degree of cooperation, and the first step plan can be said to be overachieved.
As for paying a sum of food and land expenses, this kind of trivial matter does not need to be too careful.
Besides, beef is really delicious, but it must be expensive.
"Well, I'll admit that dragons eat a lot more than you humans, and we drove the people out of this factory.
How much do we have to pay for this? ”
Luke opened his mouth and said, "The cost of food is 10 million Reichsmarks per day, and the cost of accommodation is also 10 million Reichsmarks. ”
King Tyranny, the Golden Dragon, said, "I don't understand the value of the Imperial Mark, a piece of paper can buy something. Let's pay in gold...... Do you receive gold? ”
Agatha didn't expect King Tyran to accept such an outrageous offer without even paying back the price, and paid for it in gold.
Who would have thought that the meteorite would have thought about it for a while, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, King Tyranny, the Golden Shield Empire has abolished the use of precious metals as currency circulation. Moreover, all the gold collected by the dragon is raw ore, which is mixed with a lot of impurities, and it needs to be refined to make jewelry.
Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, a lot of the imperial gold is used to make tableware, and it's really useless for us to ask for too much gold. ”
When Agatha saw that Luke didn't even want gold, she knew that he must be thinking about something better in the Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, Agatha was also very distressed and said: "Gold is so heavy, it is too inconvenient to use it as currency." Gold is now a beautiful metal for us, and it is not even as good as steel in terms of practical use. ”
King Tyranny, the golden dragon, sighed: "I didn't expect you humans to see the essence of gold clearly, they are beautiful metals. What other currencies do you accept besides gold? ”
Dragons like to collect shiny things, and the dragon kingdom is very rich in gold reserves, so every dragon's lair has a lot of gold, and King Tyran has a mountain of gold.
But collecting gold is only a hobby for dragons, and they don't value gold. After all, it can't be eaten, and dragons don't trade with each other with gold.
Seeing that King Tyran agreed to trade other items, Luke said, "Now that steam technology is widely used in the human world, the fire crystal used to provide heat energy for steam engines is a consumable. I know that the Dragon Kingdom has very large reserves of fire crystals, and if the dragon is willing to use the fire crystals to pay for food and accommodation, I think Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will be more than happy to accept this deal. ”
Hearing that the Dragon Kingdom had huge reserves of fire crystals, Agatha immediately said, "The empire is very willing to accept fire crystals. ”
"Fire Crystal?"
King Tyranny, the golden dragon, thought of the red hedron that would heat up, and this kind of hedron was indeed very abundant in the dragon kingdom, much more than gold. Aside from its ability to generate heat, the dragons didn't find the stone of any use.
Exchanging fire crystals for beef is more cost-effective than paying in gold.
"Yes. But...... If the amount is too large, you need to go to the Dragon Kingdom to dig and transport it yourself. ”
"No problem." Luke didn't expect King Tyran to let him go to the Dragon Kingdom to dig up fire crystals, so there was nothing to be polite about: "Our ship is going to the Dragon Kingdom, can it be safe?" ”
"Go to my territory and bring more delicious beef for my children, and they will keep you safe. The price of the beef they eat will be deducted from the fire crystals. ”
King Tyran doesn't even ask how many fire crystals a cow can be exchanged for, and this kind of hedron that is useless to the dragon can be dug up as much as he wants.
