Section 90. The gift of Annan and Elias

"Your Highness Elimoas, I already have a territory, and I am asking my subordinates to build a magnificent palace for you." Annan admired Elimoas' graceful slender dragon body.

The two heads were hiding in the distance, closer than the last time, looking at this side with ignorant and innocent eyes.

"Remember your promises...... said Elimoas.

"I won't forget."

The portal disappeared, and Annan muttered to himself in confusion: "What promise? ”

Irie Gravel, which arrived like a rolling wine barrel, interrupted Annan's pondering meditation.

The plan he had drawn for the Gem City had reserved the location of the City Lord's Mansion - within a hundred meters of the arcane core. The Blue Dragon's Lair was placed on the right hand side of the City Lord's Mansion. The appearance is the same as the Blue Dragon's Lair in Starmoon Bay, and the size has been expanded to the same size as the City Lord's Mansion, but so many large earth elements will almost be completed by a month.

But Annan was not very satisfied.

Dragon's Lair is predominantly "savage", and uncivilized dragons who prefer to live alone generally live in the wilderness and abandoned castles. Only the ambitious red dragons like to occupy the territory of the magpie's nest humans - so among the knights, the evil dragons who rule the palace and rob the princess are usually the red dragons.

Blue dragons have a swarming trait that is rare in the dragon family, and they are bound by blood, maintaining a bond with each other. So Eli Gravel expanded the Blue Dragon's Lair to be as big as the City Lord's Mansion in response to this - he designed several "guest rooms" for Elimoyas' dragon-friendly friends.

The appearance of the lair when maintaining Starmoon Bay is due to the fact that the blue dragon is a cave-dwelling creature, and it is nostalgic.

Annan thought it was too rudimentary.

The blue dragon loves gemstones, especially sapphires, but there are not that big gems - and even if they do, Annan can't afford them.

Glass instead of gemstones?

Invented by the dwarves and carried forward by humans, this thing looks like a gemstone...... But the glass is not very strong, and all dragons except the white dragon, including the bone dragon, have the ability to know the value of the item, and when it is known by other dragons, Elimoas will not be able to raise her head in front of her relatives and friends-

"How's the crystal?"

Erie Gravel said that alchemists can make crystals, which is much cheaper......

Praise the alchemist!

It's just that no matter what the quantity and volume go up, the price will go up...... Even a piece of brass that large is worth a lot of money.

Annan went to find Olmedo, who remembered that she had several alchemists under her wing.

"You're willing to do it."

Olmedo didn't know what Annan was doing in the Tatoon Empire, but she knew that Annan never wasted his money.

"Elimayas was my first friend, and she helped me a lot......"

Olmedo stared at Annan for a long time, and suddenly said, "It is difficult for humans and dragons to have children. ”

"W-What? I don't understand! I don't know what you're talking about! Annan explained in a panic, "And crystals are resources, and you won't lose money if you sell them if you need money." ”

Annan persuaded the others in this way, but there was always a skeptical emotion in their eyes.

Annan had no choice but to hide on the side of Yili Gravel and discuss with him the plan of the Blue Dragon Crystal Lair, such as such a large crystal lair would cost at least tens of thousands of gold coins, such as the Treasure Mountain that no longer needs to be faked.

"Elimoas has a lot of gems." Annan remembered something.

"You want to trade those gems for crystals?" Eli Gravel admired Annan's skills, and he had not heard of anyone taking treasure from the dragons.

"I mean, can you design something that shows off gemstones?"

……

Erlan old soil, desert area.

It seems that since last year, groups of gnolls and orcs have escaped from the desert, leaving the surrounding towns uneasy.

Locals later heard that a dragon had landed in the desert. The pros of the nearby city-states tried to crusade, but several waves of people were dispatched, and none of them returned.

Or a great catastrophe immortal mage escaped back, saying that there was a group of blue dragons in the desert-

Those professionals who wanted to slay dragons died down. As we all know, the gregarious blue dragon is more difficult to provoke than the golden dragon. The surrounding towns also ignored it, and the barren desert was only wild beasts anyway.

Catacombs.

The blue dragons occupy the resting place of the dead old king, and the presence of fluorescent stones embedded in the walls of the corridor is their only respect for this place.

On this day, Elimoas put away all the gems and crawled through the long passage, being blocked by two prime-headed blue dragons as she approached the exit.

"Kid, where are you going?" A soft female voice asked.

"Towns of Humanity."

"But you took your treasure with you......" a deep male voice sounded.

"That human has gained territory again, and he needs money."

The stout blue dragon roared angrily, "Elimoas, you have betrayed the traditions of the dragon clan!" ”

Elimoas still leaned back at her slender neck, "The human promised me 5% interest per month. ”

As the father and daughter confronted each other, a soft female voice continued: "Our Elimoas have grown up......"

The slightly slender blue dragon rubbed Elimoas's head.

"Son, your father and I have scraped together some gold coins...... "It stretched out a dragon claw and slashed through the void, and the gold coins poured out of the void like a tide.

"Here's 10,000 gold coins...... 500 gold coins per month...... Is that right? ”

"But don't be fooled by humans...... "said the stout blue dragon, crumbling the tiles under his claws into powder." No one can deceive the blue dragon...... No one! ”

"I know."

Elias put away the coins and crawled out of the tomb, stretching her wings in the sun-drenched desert ruins, kicking up dust and flying towards the nearest town.

……

The warm winter sun shines on the huge crystals, reflecting a beautiful dazzling light.

This nest made entirely of crystals is so vast that it resembles an ice cave of frozen soil. Its foundation had been replaced with orichalcum, and even if the dragon rolled on it, it couldn't leave a single scratch.

On the day the Crystal Lair was built, Annan opened the portal and invited Elimoas, who had become a human, to Gem City, which was full of busy figures.

"It's my New Year's gift to you, albeit late." Annan led Elimoas into the crystal lair and quipped, "I don't even have a copper coin now." ”

"Where's your money?"

"Replaced with crystals."

Annan pointed around, and at this moment, Elimoas released a pile of gold coins that almost drowned him, roughly twenty thousand gold coins.

Annan gratefully accepted the coin, and then drew Elimoas' attention to the top of the rock: the sunlight refracted through the transparent crystal of the top and fell into the cave.

"You can also set your gems on it."

Annan urged Elimayas to give it a try, but she said there were no more gems.

"Where's your gem?"

"Changed to gold."
