Chapter 168: The Treasury of the Demon Dragon and Bezos [Subscription Requested]
Regarding the concept of the divine contract, Chen Xuan had been in contact with it for a long time.
The Naroa natives can afford to pay for it and feel that it is a good deal, and they can do it at any time.
However, each living being can only conclude three divine contracts in his lifetime.
And the cost of the contract is often high.
The price here is fluctuating, for example, the price of Baron Bezos's life preservation with the divine pact is ten years of life and fertility for the rest of his life.
If it is exchanged for a civilian, the same price will not be exchanged for this divine contract.
To put it mildly, the so-called "equality of all" is itself a paradox.
Ability, luck, acquired conditions, and effort all determine that differences in individual abilities are inevitable.
Of course, all living beings are indeed equal in terms of life itself.
But it's good to think about this concept in your head.
Not to mention people, even tools are divided into three, five, nine and so on.
The life span and fertility of a baron are naturally in some ways worth more than that of the poor.
Therefore, there is still a lot of fluctuation in the conclusion of the divine contract.
This is a cruel truth, but it is permeable throughout the continent of Naroa.
In fact, the society of Blue Star also pursues such a law, but it is not as direct as the Naroa Continent.
Everything about living beings has become a bargaining chip in the divine contract that can be sold at a price.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan looked at the tattoo on Baron Bezos's chest, which had become very blurry, and then asked the next question.
"How many times have you made a divine pact?"
There is no difficulty in answering this question.
"It's only been concluded once."
"The price of the divine contract is very high, and it is very easy to attract greed in people's hearts."
"It's not a wish, it's a non-equivalent exchange."
"If you take it as a wish, you will fall into the trap of greed."
"The more you take, the more you pay."
Baron Bezos explained with a serious expression, and under the effect of the contract, he knew everything and said everything.
Chen Xuan naturally understood this truth, and it was almost impossible for the Naroa natives to get the wool of the divine contract.
The abilities granted by the divine pact are either limited to a limited number of times or limited to a limited time.
Just like when Chen Xuan concluded the Divine Pact, he could only exchange everything he had for the double top-level talent that lasted 0.17 water clocks, so the Divine Pact was not a cost-effective choice, and it was only suitable for exchanging power for the last moment of fireworks in extreme circumstances.
In addition, it is Baron Bezos who pays a price that is acceptable to him. In exchange for a life-saving ability.
But it is also impossible to expect to make a fortune by relying on the divine contract and become a super strong.
Only Chen Xuan himself was an exception, after all, he had a golden finger that could modify the contract.
To be honest, in front of Goldfinger, the divine contract is just a handful of wool.
Goldfinger's own ability is his greatest reliance.
After confirming that Baron Bezos did not have a hidden divine contract, Chen Xuan was relieved.
And it also gave him a new idea.
Chen Xuan still has two chances to conclude a divine contract, and if he makes good use of it, it will be a big help.
The Divine Pact is very useful, but it cannot interfere with the outside world, and all the quid pro quo of the contract can only be applied to the contract itself.
Otherwise, the killer should lose his job.
Whoever you want to kill just has to sign an assassination contract.
But this is not possible, because the rules of the divine pact themselves have great limitations.
Now Chen Xuan had already figured out how to conclude the second divine contract.
Once he had packed up his treasure trove, he would go to the temple again.
At the moment of the Demon Calamity, he must mobilize all the forces at his disposal!
After knowing this, Chen Xuan looked at Baron Bezos again and showed a faint smile.
"Now, take me to your treasure trove."
"I know you have a lot of secrets."
……
In the Misty Canyon, Ansetus rides on the back of a four-winged eagle.
Monsters are pouring out of the canyon.
The dark magic of chaos dissipated like smoke, wafting in the sky above.
The monsters here have nothing to do with the Void Teleportation Channel, they come from a large cave in the canyon that was originally in a forbidden state!
No one would have imagined that there was a large cave hidden around the city of Magdam.
Caves of this size rank fourth in the six cave size ratings of Small, Small, Medium, Large, Giant, and Super Giant, and can gush out tens of thousands of monsters every day.
I don't know why I'm banned here.
The cave is at least a few hundred years old.
Ansetus came here by chance, and found the powerful monster sealed in the cave, and was bewitched and became a servant of the monster.
Even he fused into the power of monsters, and the chaotic magic was dormant in his heart, usually showing his normal appearance, and when necessary, he could incarnate into the form of a monster.
That's why he's rarely used magic in combat in recent years.
Ever since the chaotic magic power entered his body, his original demonic cultivation had been in a state of stagnation.
As a master who had reached the silver level ten years ago, it was enough to say that he had not made any progress in his Demon Cultivation over the years.
At this time, Ansetus faintly became the leader of these monsters in the canyon caves.
His eyebrows were erect and his eyes were wide open, and his face was covered in intricate magic patterns.
There are also horns that extend completely on each side of the chin, making him look particularly bewitching.
Riding a four-winged eagle, Ansetus glanced condescendingly.
Suddenly, the fog in the canyon churned violently.
A large, hideous black head suddenly poked out of the fog.
The blood-stained yellow vertical pupils were hidden in the black scales and horns, like two flickering lanterns.
"Boom!"
"Whoa..."
There was a crisp dragging sound, and the slender neck under the skull was revealed.
It is also covered with sturdy scale armor.
Then there is the strong chest and abdomen, and the two broken black wings that extend through the dorsal blades!
If Chen Xuan was here, he would be able to recognize that the huge monster in front of him was the black evil dragon of the West!
Blackwing had bony limbs at both ends, but was pinned down by thick hooks.
As the mist lifted, the dragon's form was fully revealed.
Its body length is more than 30 meters, its wingspan is nearly 60 meters, and its whole body is covered in dense scales.
Each scale is the size of a kite-shaped shield adapted to a human.
With a slender neck and a full chest and abdomen, you can see the outline of the muscles that agitate under the scales when you move casually.
The feet are stout and powerful, with sharp claws and reflex joints.
You can easily break through the rock formations on the canyon ground like grasping tofu, leaving traces of ravines and ravines.
A tail with a bone hammer hangs naturally to its side, and blade-like spines run along the back of the head along the back.
With each breath, the hideous head erupted two heavy columns of air.
In addition to its wings, its hind limbs are also nailed to death by a hook.
Behind the hook are chains, each with a diameter of more than two meters, which pulls vertically behind the dragon and fixes the depths of the canyon.
In addition, there are also traces of hook locks on the dragon's chest, neck, and head.
Although these places have almost healed, the newly grown scales are somewhat discolored, so it can be seen at a glance that those parts were also bound by hooks and locks.
"Akso, are you all assembled?"
The dull sound echoed over the canyon like thunder.
After the large mouth full of fangs opened, every now and then a throbbing spark popped up.
The demon dragon only moved slightly, and the earth trembled slightly.
Ansetus, who was sitting on the four-winged eagle, clenched his fists and pounded his chest.
"Master, the demon army in the canyon has been assembled."
Hearing his report, the demon dragon's huge head shook unexplainedly.
"Hmm, the Void Teleportation Channel is rapidly taking shape."
"I miss the breath I haven't seen for a long time."
Speaking of this, the demon dragon couldn't help but shake its body, and the chains behind it were dragged by it with a "sonorous" sound.
"Roar!"
"There are also four Great Chains of Closure, and if they are lifted, I will be free!"
"This land needs to be purified by demonic flames!"
The demon dragon raised its neck and let out a long dragon roar.
The rippled sound waves pushed the air, opening up a large white mist.
All the monsters below trembled suddenly, and a huge sense of oppression fell in front of them, and even the weeds on the ground were bent over.
The four-eyed eagle carrying Ansetus flapped its wings in a panic, looking shaky.
This is the power of the dragon!
The roar of a huge dragon can spread over a radius of tens of kilometers.
Even the roar could be heard in Magdam.
At this moment, the demon dragon issued a heroic declaration to reappear in the world.
It's been banned, it's been tied down for too long.
The opportunity to regain freedom once and for all is now in front of us.
It will once again roam the land, bringing calamity and destruction!
Ansetus was indifferent to Long Wei, his eyebrows shining red.
Scales emerge from the mouth of the heart and quickly spread to the neck.
These scales look about the same as dragon scales, only much smaller in size.
The three-eyed Ansetus actually has a tendency to become a dragon.
The hideous demon dragon looked at Ansetus, who was becoming more and more bewitching, and showed a humanized satisfied expression.
"The baptism of my dragon's blood not only gives you the ability to master the magic of chaos, but also increases the strength of your body tenfold!"
"Now you're a true Dragonborn!"
"Okay Akso, take my token and greetings, and go to contact the guards of those secret caves."
"I, the sixth general of the Black Flame Demon Lord, the demon dragon Belle Tobias Croedy, ask them to help me free the last few chains."
"Blood Food! I want lots and lots of blood to eat..."
The dragon, named Belle Tobias Croedy, opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of dragon teeth encased in slime from the cavity between its throats.
This dragon's tooth is like a sharp cone, with annual ring-like lines on the surface, and a little dragon power.
Holding the dragon's tooth in his arms, Ansetus saluted again, and then pulled the reins of the four-winged eagle and drove it towards the secret doors and caves shrouded in black pillars of light.
Under the dark clouds, it wasn't just Magdan City that was taking action.
……
"Roar!"
Inside the Baron's Castle, Chen Xuan and Bezos looked out at the same time.
The roar of the giant dragon was still beating like a drum after crossing a distance of tens of kilometers.
The invisible coercion made everyone's heart tense and feel shortness of breath at the same time.
It is hard to imagine how it will be affected if you are in the core area of Long Wei's suppression.
The master and servant glanced at each other, and both read the horror in their respective eyes.
The two of them naturally didn't know about the Demon Dragon, but they knew that this roar was definitely famous!
"North..."
"That's the direction of the Misty Canyon."
Baron Bezos swallowed and said with some difficulty.
Chen Xuan frowned and nodded slightly.
"There's definitely something wrong with Misty Canyon."
"It was there that Ansetus and thousands of laborers disappeared!"
"Now it seems that the problem there is much worse than we thought!"
What is the concept that a roar can travel tens of kilometers?
Chen Xuan didn't dare to think about it anymore, he silently raised his assessment of the threat level of this demonic disaster in his heart.
It is foreseeable that there will be a tough battle waiting for him in the future.
The roar subsided for a long time, and the two of them came to their senses.
They were located in the hall on the first floor of the castle, standing in front of the fireplace.
This fireplace is just a disguise, but it's actually a secret door to the underground treasure trove.
Baron Bezos pressed at several specific points on the fireplace, and the rune door was opened.
A dark stone walkway was revealed, leading deep underground.
The air currents kicked up dust in the aisles, and it was clear that Baron Bezos rarely went in and out of this treasure house.
Bezos led the way, followed by Chen Xuan.
They passed through a slowly descending corridor and finally arrived at their destination—
- The Baron's Treasure Trove.
It is said to be a treasure trove, but it is actually an underground secret room.
The surrounding walls are reinforced with runes, and there are tables, chairs, stools, and two sets of low cabinets.
Large cash boxes are neatly stacked on the wall, and there are many antiques with unique shapes.
The chamber was dimly lit, and the nasal passages were filled with the smell of dust.
It doesn't look like a treasure trove, it's like a basement that no one cares about.
However, when Chen Xuan opened those cash boxes, he changed his mind.
There are a total of twelve large cash chests, each of which is square, like a treasure chest often seen in movies.
Seven of them contained dark gold coins.
Chen Xuan made a rough estimate that such a box could hold about two thousand dark gold coins.
Based on 2,000 pieces, the total value of each box can reach 2,000,000~2,478,000 crowns.
In addition to that, there are three crates of Mithril Coins and two crates of Bronze Mountain Coins!
As for the Black Iron Coins, it seems that they are not among Baron Bezos's savings options.
After all, the three currencies of dark gold, orichalcum, and mythril, in addition to their monetary value, are also precious magical metals in themselves, which can come in handy for many purposes.
All the cash drawers combined are worth more than 10 million crowns!
These are the riches that Baron Bezos has accumulated over the years of his reign.
Chen Xuan had to sell a lot of Demon Tears to make so much money!
Without any hesitation, he directly put eleven of the cash boxes into the storage compartment.
Leave Bezos a cash box full of dark gold coins for daily expenses!
