"They say you were once the gladiatorial stars of the Colosseum," and while the crowd was indulging in the celebratory atmosphere of the feast, several half-grown children slipped out of the supervision of the attendants, and sneaked up to the three ogre brothers, who occupied a campfire alone, and the little boy at the head of the group boldly poured out to Blue, who seemed to be the kindest, "I mean...... How did you defeat that monster?"

Blue looked back at the two or three "little men" who were not yet half as tall as they sat on the ground, and with a sly glint in his eyes, he said in a deep tone, "Hey, little boy, do you know that we are ogres. ”

With that, he licked his fangs with his tongue in bad faith. But before he could say the phrase "We love to eat little people" on his lips, he was hit on the head by a troll.

"Ignore him," Naru was also a little ashamed of Blue's unscrupulous behavior in scaring the children, and the strong ogre, who was much larger than his two brothers, scratched his head, thought for a moment, and explained to the children, "We are a group, but the strange fish has only a rabble under his hands. Hit them, hit them hard, and then they'll die. He gestured to Blue's freshly steamed Nail Monsters, "And their meat is delicious." ”

One of the youngest, but brightest-eyed children, was obviously not satisfied with the answer, and straightened the corners of his linen shirt, and plucked up the courage to question: "We want to ask, how did you shoot that ugly and smelly strange fish? Did you throw a huge fireball? We heard the explosion in the arena during the day, but we didn't see it." ”

Rubbing the bulging bag on his head, Blue looked at the witch doctor Palu with complaining eyes, and deliberately said to the children with a straight face again: "That's a secret spell that can't be passed on, and it requires special spell casting materials. He took out the spice box from the food box next to him, took out a little chili pepper from it and threw it into his mouth, "like this......"

Munching on chili peppers and slapping his bulging belly, Blue opened his mouth and burped—a blazing fireball erupted from the ogre's mouth, leaping into the air and exploding into a firework under the night sky.

"That's amazing!", "Can you teach us how to release fireballs!"

The onlookers immediately shouted excitedly, but unexpectedly, they attracted their attendants and etiquette teachers who were in a hurry, "The blazing sun is above, how dare you sneak out, why don't you go back to sleep quickly?"

One by one, the naughty bags who traveled together at night followed the teacher with their heads drooped like deflated balls, and walked out of the banquet hall with great reluctance.

Blue waved happily to the children who had said goodbye to him, especially at the sharp corners of the peppers peeking out of the clenched palms of the little boy who had just asked the question, and he was even more pleased with the unexpected prank.

On the balcony of the consul's private office, the old emir looked at this "little episode" between his grandchildren and the three ogre brothers, and after chuckling, he shook his head helplessly. As an older man, he could never understand where the children's seemingly never-ending energy was hidden.

"I want to take care of them, my children and my people, and give them up and keep them safe, so that they can focus on their families and their daily lives," the Archon of Tuka City smiled slightly, "so that they can find a mate, have children, and live the good life that every Medici is entitled to." ”

The old emir felt a hint of weariness in his voice, and Queth, who was sitting beside him, clearly heard it, and he spoke, "Sounds ...... Your mood is a little low, Your Excellency. If it's because of the benthic devilfish, you don't have to worry, with the nature of this monster, there shouldn't be another one in a salt lake the size outside the city. ”

"I'm not worried about this," the old emir sighed, and said in a sincere tone, "The monster is only a temporary problem, and it may be able to make the average city consul anxious, but not so much that it will make the emir's family unsustainable. ”

He motioned for the attendant serving tea and water in the room to withdraw for a moment, then lifted a tapestry embroidered with a full-length portrait of his ancestor, and finally worked on the safe hidden in the hidden compartment behind the tapestry before taking out several scroll papers.

"This is an agreement that has been enshrined by my family and has cast spells," the archon handed several volumes of the agreement to the dragon Pasha in front of him, "to ensure that those who sign the agreement will receive one-tenth of the dividends from the Emir family's estate every year for a period of one hundred years." ”

Seeing that the position of the signatory on the scroll was still blank, Quith immediately understood that this was a specially prepared agreement for him, and he thought for a moment before asking: "First tell me what you want to return, it is not worth it to deal with a benthic magic fish." ”

"The city of Taka needs Leviathan," said the old emir, who had also heard a little about the dragon Pasha's way of doing things, so he didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly, "The salt produced by the salt lake has not been able to find a market in the northern region of Medici - and that region is the richest land in the entire empire, and the lake salt has always been at a disadvantage in terms of price in the competition with sea salt. The reason for this is nothing more than the high cost of transportation. Therefore, I would like to sign an agreement with His Excellency Pasha, who has mastered the future air transport routes, to exchange the profits of the Emir family for the next hundred years in exchange for the right to give priority to the floating behemoth to transport the salt of the lake in Tuka City. ”

Seeing that the young blue dragon showed a slightly intentional look, he hit the railroad while it was hot: "If it's possible...... I mean, if, I don't know, if Lord Pasha is willing to sell a vehicle like the Leviathan, the Emir family is willing to give more benefits than the agreement stipulates in exchange for a transport airship belonging to the city of Taka. ”

"Yes, but it's not cheap. Quest had no intention of going around in circles, so he replied cheerfully.

In fact, the Leviathan's maiden voyage was nothing short of a well-crafted roadshow to show potential customers who could afford the expensive Floating Behemoth to entice them to come along.

As for whether others have the ability to imitate this giant synthetic creature, he can't easily draw conclusions, but as long as the leviathan-based floating giant beast purchased from the young blue dragon, the ultimate control is actually in his hands.

The only question was how to make an offer to the old emir now - the Archon of Taka City was simply too cooperative, and the quid pro quo that Quest had thought of for the purchase of the Floating Behemoth was actually written in the agreement just now.

What new conditions should I think of?" the young blue dragon fell into a moment of deep thought.

Until a chamberlain knocked on the door in a hurry outside the office, and the old emir opened the door and listened to his whispered report, his brow could not help but shrink, and Quis, who also had a conversation between master and servant with his excellent hearing, had an imperceptible smile on his face.
