Chapter 369: Dragon Island and Gloria
The location of Dragon Island is located in the northwest of the Elven Empire, an island in the open sea outside the northern continent.
Its strength is composed of dragons in the orderly camp, such as the red dragon vein, the blue dragon vein, the golden dragon vein, the white dragon vein and other dragons, with order and wisdom. And the green dragon, the black dragon and other chaotic and neutral dragon systems, more often than not, are the kind of dragons that burn the city and seize the treasure in the legend, and these dragon systems are not under the control of the dragon island.
But the most surprising thing is that the dragons of Dragon Island have carried out explosive behaviors that have shocked the world's attention, which is very different from the arrogant and powerful image of the dragons themselves.
It all started thousands of years ago.
When the current dragon emperor took office thousands of years ago, the first problem to face was how to feed the hundreds of dragons on the dragon island, the dragon's appetite is not ordinary, one meal can easily eat ten cows, a hundred dragons are a thousand cows per meal, and the pulled out is piled up into a mountain!
The dragons are rich, and their long life span has allowed them to accumulate a lot of wealth, and if they use this wealth to buy food, they can support their daily food and drink, but the dragon regards wealth as his life, and let them give away their own gold coins in the lair, which is more uncomfortable than killing them!
If you don't spend this money, the dragons on Dragon Island will starve, and the dragon's heart will be scattered.
After spending all this money, the dragon's heart is also scattered.
In the face of this problem of the century, the contemporary Dragon Emperor gave full play to his subjective initiative and put forward a new proposal on the basis of examining the needs of the world's business.
Since our dragon has a long lifespan and is so strong that it will crush most of the scum races, why not use our power to make money with our own hands?
At this time, a little brother of the dragon proposed, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor means to let us go to the human city to loot?
The Dragon Emperor said that your pattern is not high enough, what age are you, and you are still doing these traditional ways to make money?
These immoral things have been done too much, and those sand sculpture human warriors are like Nima going crazy, all of them want to be dragon slaying warriors, and the corpses are piled up all over the beach of Dragon Island!
If we want to do it, we will do something with a high pattern.
And so, a plan that many dragons regarded as great, creational, and completely renovated was born.
Under the proclamation of the Dragon Emperor, Dragon Island has introduced a number of services including but not limited to armed escorts, armed escorts, dragon knight contracts, mutual defense treaties, one-time employment agreements, etc.
To put it simply, you pay for it, and they contribute to Dragon Island.
When Ji Chen knew that Dragon Island was actually this style of painting, he almost dropped his jaw in surprise, but after thinking about it deeply, although wars still often break out in this world, and there are constant contradictions between countries and races, on the whole, it is no longer the era when dragons were invincible tens of thousands of years ago.
Humans, goblins, and elves have all developed enough means to threaten the dragon, but they need to pay a relatively large price, and they are not evil dragons that cannot resist the attack.
Then as time went by, the living conditions of the dragon clan gradually deteriorated, and there was no stable and reliable source of wealth, and looking at their small treasury was the same as thousands of years ago, I suddenly felt an itchy scalp.
So it's understandable that Dragon Island launched this plan - what a fart!
Ji Chen seriously suspected that the Dragon Emperor might be some kind of traverser, so he tossed these things out.
With this plan in place, the dragons have something to do for a long time, satisfying their desire to fight and kill, and at the same time making money every day, without worrying about the mad dragon slayer warriors coming to them for trouble.
- After all, we are employed, so if you have something to do, go to the employer, it has nothing to do with us.
- What? You can't beat the employer? Then my friend, you might as well spare some time to check out the Didi Revenge service launched by our Dragon Island, for only fifteen million gold coins, we can dispatch a whole dragon formation to clean up all troubles and enemies for you with dragon flames and minions!
- Of course, you will be responsible for all the food costs, housing expenses, and possible healing expenses incurred during the period!
That's probably it.
It's magical, anyway.
Anyway, in the past thousand years, when there are conflicts between various countries and races on the continent, they will more or less hire dragons to raid the formation.
- Since the dragon is hired on the other side, wouldn't it be a disadvantage if I didn't hire it?
It's a peculiar business system based on the dragon as a strategic deterrent.
As a result, the dragon island dragon ushered in the most nourishing period of life, and only needed to go out every day to scare people with teeth and claws, and a little activity could earn a lot of gold shining, wouldn't it be happy?
Of course, if you see a giant dragon on the other side, you have to observe it carefully in advance and consider whether to act, otherwise it will not be good if you accidentally face your relatives such as your third uncle and second aunt, who are all your own dragons.
However, there is one thing to say, the dragon still knows the importance of commercial credit, and it is still very hard when there is no dragon on the other side, so it has always maintained a good reputation.
There are hundreds of giant dragons on the surface of Dragon Island, and there are at least four hundred adult dragons with combat power, and the strength of each one is equivalent to a rare-level hero unit, which adds up to an extremely large force, enough to turn a major battle.
If you can be called in to assist the front line of the Ocean Crown to resist the demonic attack, you may be able to delay until all the orderly forces are mobilized, participate in the war in time, and then support the Ocean Crown on the front line.
Sure enough, hearing this, Serena hesitated.
"You want to hire a dragon dragon?"
"That's right."
"The purpose of hiring is that you're all epic, and there shouldn't be any long-sighted guys who will provoke you, right?"
"Yes."
"Who is it?"
"Demons."
Serena was stunned, and Ji Chen continued: "To tell you the truth, my territory is located in the middle of the Western Middle Ocean, and it is the first line of attack by the demon army on the side of the Dreaded Demon King Balza. ”
Serena quickly realized, "I see, then you are quite unlucky, you can stop it, your territory is not, it is estimated that it will be pushed away like a piece of grass." ”
The corners of Ji Chen's mouth twitched, this dragon girl was really direct when she spoke.
Serina looked at Ji Chen, who was silent, and seemed to realize that what she had just said was a little wrong, and coughed lightly: "I understand, since there is a door-to-door business, we naturally have no reason not to do it." ”
"I don't know how many heads you want to hire? We have three dragons, five dragons, seven dragons and even a giant dragon formation service items, the price is reasonable, you are satisfied"
"I'm going to hire all the dragons of your Dragon Island."
"What!?" The legendary dragon girl's eyes widened, and her eyes changed, "Do you know how many dragons there are in our Dragon Island?" ”
"At present, there are a full four hundred and fifty-eight heads registered, and according to the average employment price last year, each head needs an average of 880,000 gold coins, which is only the level of medium and low intensity fighting, and the time is still limited.
If it is a battle against a demon that is extremely life-threatening, it is normal to double and double and double! ”
"Are you sure you have that much gold?"
Ji Chen didn't speak, but his indifferent face showed that he had this confidence.
He has a lot of gold coins, tens of millions of gold coins in his backpack, and hundreds of millions of them that are temporarily preserved on Reinhardt's side, but it is obviously not enough to hire the dragons of the entire Dragon Island.
However, he has something that Dragon Island has absolutely no way to refuse.
Under Serina's suspicious gaze, Ji Chen took out a map and showed it frontally.
Just for a second.
But under the capture of the dragon's eyes, Serena still took in a line of words on the map at this moment.
- Map of Gloria.
After a brief moment of thought, her face quickly became vivid as if it had changed, and she exclaimed.
"Glori"
Ji Chen hurriedly covered her mouth with his hand, looked left and right, and said, "It's not a secret if you say it." ”
Selina's face flushed a little, and she nodded quickly and said in a low voice.
"Your Excellency Ji Chen, you actually have Gloria, the map of the ancient elven main city in your hand? Is it true? ”
"Naturally, it's true, it's enough to pay for hiring, right?"
"Of course enough!"
The name of Gloria, the main city of the ancient elves, is very loud, and the elven queen of the previous generation has also carried out a huge search operation to find this city buried in the dust of history.
According to ancient texts, Gloria is home to an immeasurable amount of wealth, enough to arm a million-strong army with all kinds of ordnance, not to mention all kinds of priceless lost technology.
And the key to open the city was in Ji Chen's hands at this time.
Serena said excitedly: "Enough is definitely enough, there are many more, but Your Excellency, you use this as a mercenary money for us, aren't you afraid that the elves will trouble you?" ”
Ji Chen's face darkened, "What do you think, how can I give you the entire city?" ”
The wealth contained in an entire Gloria is immeasurable, and it is easy to hire the entire Dragon Island to serve him for a hundred years.
Such a considerable fortune, but he could not bypass the Elven Empire to obtain it. If it had been put before, he would have had the patience and confidence to find it little by little, to tackle it little by little, and even slowly gather the seven treasure house key fragments and keep his most valuable treasure house for himself.
But now that Ji Chen doesn't have much time, the demon may break through the rule barrier tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, and invade in an all-round way, stretching his minions to the crown of the ocean.
Time is now the most scarce thing.
Ji Chen needs to convert the capital in his hands into resources to enhance the power of the crown of the ocean as soon as possible, and make more preparations for the upcoming invasion.
"I will speak to His Majesty Rajafa and His Excellency Erin about this, and with them I will find Gloria and use this map in exchange for a batch of resources, some of which will be used as your mercenary money."
Serena nodded abruptly, "That sounds reasonable, I don't think the elves will refuse your offer." ”
Ji Chen said: "Since this is the case, then please return to Dragon Island as soon as possible, tell His Majesty the Dragon Emperor about this matter, and send the hired dragon to the crown of the ocean as soon as possible." ”
Serena said, "Of course, I don't think my countrymen will refuse such a generous employer, as long as they are paid enough. ”
Serina soon embarked on the return journey, and Ji Chen watched her board the carriage and gradually disappear at the end of the street, turning around and walking towards the Ancient Tree of Life.
Next, it's time to get the elves on their side.
Ji Chen and the others came to the ancient tree of life again, and saw Ladifa, who had just changed into a gorgeous court dress and was wearing a portable palace dress, and Erin, who was still wearing a mage robe
Tell me about Gloria's map.
The unfathomable strength of the contemporary elven empress suddenly stood up from her chair and said in surprise, "What you said is true? Do you have Gloria's map? ”
Even Erin looked surprised and couldn't help but come over curiously.
Ji Chen took out the map and unfolded it on the table, and said in a normal tone: "I got this map by accident, and now it is time to mobilize to resist the demon invasion, I think I can take it out, find the city, and invest the resources in it into the war, so as to increase the victory rate." ”
Raja and Erin didn't ask Ji Chen how exactly he got the map, nor did he ask why he hadn't taken it out before.
They don't want to destroy the tacit understanding and relationship between the two parties.
Raja nodded and said, "If we can get the resources of Gloria, the speed of the empire's mobilization will be much faster, but it's a pity that we haven't gathered the treasure house key fragments yet."
"I've got three here."
Looking at the three metal fragments scattered on the table, Raja and Erin couldn't help but look sideways, and their eyes changed.
Not only did you get the map, but you even got three Treasury Key Fragments?
Wouldn't I be able to get all the key fragments except for the two of their elves?
Ji Chen said very calmly: "Give me some more time, I can find the dwarven clan and the rest of the lost treasure house key fragments, and give it to you along with this map, but I have one condition." ”
Ladifa and Erin glanced at each other, as if confirming something, Ladifa, and said, "Your Excellency Ji Chen, please speak." ”
"I want some of them as payment, both in Gloria City and in the treasury."
He provided the map, and provided the other treasure house key fragments except for the two in the elf's hand, and he naturally had this right.
It's better to say that this is still cheap, and if it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have time to look for it, he wouldn't have suffered such a big loss.
Although it will take some time to find the Treasury Key, Gloria's resources in the city are enough for him to pay for the dragon dragon's employment.
After only a moment's thought, Raja agreed.
"I agree, if you bring the map and the three Treasury Key Fragments, you will be entitled to a portion of the resources and wealth."
Such an attitude is for the strong, and if other weak people come to talk about such conditions, it is undoubtedly a sin.
Ji Chen was not worried that Ladifa and Erin would covet and turn their faces, because strength was a heavy weight on the scale, and before they had any other ideas, they all had to look at the serious consequences of his anger.
At least, the elven fleet doesn't have to think about going to sea in the middle of the ocean.
In terms of the distribution of benefits, they negotiated it faster than expected.
