Chapter 17: The Ice Dragon on the Mountains of Beirutes
Mayor Snch is facing one of the most difficult choices of his life.
The reason is that a few days ago, Marco sent a message through the communication elemental magic weapon - Lu Xi has not yet forgotten the equipment of the patrol.
By default, it's almost enough to leave this group of people to work for a few years, and when the time comes to put them back, they still have to do patrol tasks.
Moreover, Mayor Sienqi has already apologized, and Lu Xi is not ready to make the relationship too stiff, no matter what, the Spirit Farm is still divided under Crowk Town.
As a result, Marco didn't have much trouble contacting Mayor Sench, that is, hiding from the others that it was a little troublesome.
During the conversation, Marco provided Mayor Skench with the shocking news that Miss Lucy of the Soul Farm had raised a baby dragon as a pet.
This is not the key, the key is that the news that the ice dragon on the mountain of Beirutes has already spread to Tanlsi because of the loss of the dragon egg and made a big fuss around.
Although Tanlsir is a long way from the Beirutes Mountains, for the ice dragon, it is really only a few days of flight time.
The time when Miss Lucy was lost, plus the route revealed by the Dragon Hunter Mercenary Group before, and the time when the ice dragon lost the dragon egg, a combination of several conditions, it is easy to conclude that Miss Lucy's magic pet is the lost dragon egg of the ice dragon on the Beirutes Mountain.
Marco said conclusively, but Mayor Siench didn't dare to believe his words directly, and sent someone to inquire about the news for a few days, and finally got it confirmed today.
It is known that the dragon hunter mercenary group has received a mission related to the Beirutes Mountains, and the task content is "dragon eggs".
It is certainly impossible for the nobles who issued this task to find only one mercenary team, and not all mercenaries will take on the task, so it is not surprising that news has spread.
In addition, Mayor Snch also heard from the Warners Auction House that Miss Lucy had indeed purchased a disguised elemental artifact - a guest with only a few thousand gold coins to trade, and the secrecy of the Warners Auction House was obviously not too high.
Of course, after learning of Miss Lucy's identity, Warners Auction House will obviously make a remedy, but the news that has spread is not something they can remedy.
So, after synthesizing all kinds of information, Mayor Sench was finally able to determine that it was indeed Miss Lucy who took away the dragon egg of the ice dragon on the mountains of Beirutus, and even hatched it and became her magic pet.
This matter seems to be nothing on its own, after all, the ice dragon on the mountains of Beirutes has already gone back after making a big fuss, and has no intention of continuing to track its dragon egg.
Dragons, of course, are a kind of arrogant monsters, they look down on any other monster, including humans, they are short-tempered, prone to anger, and vindictive.
Possible dragon ...... It's also very lazy.
For example, the ice dragon on the Beirutes Mountain, I don't know if it's because of the environment, the temperature on the iceberg is too cold, so the ice dragon likes to hibernate like some monsters.
After making a fuss for a while, the ice dragon lost interest in continuing to look for the "dragon egg" and went home to hibernate.
Anyway, dragon eggs can still be laid after waiting for a few hundred years...... bar.
Of course, if you change to other dragons, you may insist on searching endlessly, but there are many differences between dragons and dragons, especially for intelligent life, there are always various differences in thinking.
To the confusion of Mayor Snch, Marco gave a somewhat desperate suggestion.
"Tell the news of the dragon's eggs in the Spiritual Farm to the ice dragon on the mountains of Beirutes."
Based on Marko's experience at the Shrine Farm, he didn't think the Shrine Farm could resist a dragon's attack.
Once the Ice Dragon finds the Spiritual Farm, the Spiritual Farm has only one chance of being destroyed.
Mayor Snch also asked Marco what he could gain if he did such a thing.
Marco asked directly how much Mayor Siench had paid in his dealings with Mayor Julie of Muhatta.
At the mention of this, Mayor Siench was heartbroken, and what he handed over to Mayor Julie was not a simple 100,000 gold coins for Miss Lucy, it was completely equivalent to tearing off a piece of meat from his own body and giving it to the other party.
But it doesn't work without paying this price, and it's clear that Miss Lucy doesn't care what a human town is worth to her, and she doesn't have much hostility towards Mayor Snch because she doesn't.
Then Mayor Snch wants to talk to Miss Lucy about business, and there is no hope, because Miss Lucy doesn't care, for better or worse.
After learning that Miss Lucy had negotiated such a big deal with the town of Muhatta, Mayor Siench would rather Miss Lucy open her mouth and ask for more compensation from herself, and 100,000 gold coins is a fart.
So Marco confidently suggested to Mayor Sench that as long as Mayor Sench could lure the ice dragon to the Spirit Farm and make it attack the Spirit Farm, he could find a way to enter the warehouse of the Spirit Farm and bring out the contents when the Spirit Farm was fully resistant to the ice dragon.
Think about how many things are in the Soul Farm, and think about the value in them, Mayor Snch is already thrilled when he hears it.
But that doesn't guarantee the rest of the questions, Mayor Snick didn't say yes, but looked at Marco.
Marco smiled steadily, "What are you worried about?" Revenge from the Rolert family? They are not in the kingdom of Trummini now, and where can they know about it? β
This is Miss Lucy's greatest confidence, but unfortunately it is no longer useful at this time.
"Or are you worried about the Poberstein family? Miss Lucy is just a relative of the foreign family to them, and maybe there is a family affection, but so what? Who in the Pobelstein family would want to come and see for themselves a catastrophe caused by a dragon? β
"Most importantly, isn't Crowk Town the closest to the Spirit Farm, as long as you can take the lead in dealing with the Spirit Farm before other forces arrive, will you still worry about leaving any traces?"
As for Xiuge, Marco was already sure that the other party would stand up as soon as the ice dragon attacked, and no matter how talented he was, he would never be able to be an opponent of an adult ice dragon.
Maybe he will survive, but he will be seriously injured if he lives, and he may be able to save him when the time comes, and get a thank you from the Pobelstein family...... The death of a knight is not unusual.
And Miss Lucy ...... Marco's eyes were dark, but he comforted Mayor Sench in a good voice, "Miss Lucy is just an ordinary person, with some elemental magic weapons on her body at most, plus she is the main target of the ice dragon's revenge, she is the most difficult to survive, and you don't need to do it yourself." β
Mayor Snch hesitated, so Marco began to raise again, mentioning that the ones he had "seen" belonged to Miss Lucy.
In the midst of those exaggerated interests, Mayor Snch was moved, he knew that Marco had a lot of just guesses, but from Mayor Julie's deal, Mayor Snch could confirm those guesses.
As long as there are enough benefits, people can't help but try, even if they make a mistake, it will be an abyss.
"What about you?" Mayor Snch looked at Marco calmly, and after making a decision, he naturally paid attention to more details, and he wasn't really stupid.
"How can you guarantee that you can escape under the attack of the dragon, and at the same time escape with so many things......"
Mayor Skenki's eyes narrowed, in fact, according to Marko, he could completely ignore Marco and let him die in the attack of the ice dragon.
And by checking the reason for the accident at the Spirit Farm, he is better able to accept the property of the Spirit Farm and better wash away his suspicions.
"With your help, of course." Marko bowed his head humbly, "I hope you can provide me with the Shield of Light' elemental artifact, as well as some contract packages with more gri. β
Mayor Senki's eyes froze, there are many types of elemental magic weapons, but only a small number of elemental magic weapons can resist the dragon's attack.
Although the shield of holy light can be called the treasure of their Crowk family, it is not enough to fight the power of the dragon.
However, Marco didn't need to face the ice dragon directly, as long as he could resist the aftermath of the ice dragon's attacks in the past, he could save his life.
Marco waited calmly under the gaze of Mayor Sench, and soon, Mayor Snch nodded slowly, "Yes, I'll have someone send it to you." β
After hanging up the communication, Mayor Skench called his subordinates, and after a little thought, asked him to go to the Mercenary Guild to post an anonymous mission - he still didn't want to take too much responsibility himself, and he didn't want to expose himself directly.
The task is to tell the ice dragon on the mountains of Beirutes where its eggs are.
For this, Mayor Skench paid a considerable amount of money for the mission, after all, the price of the anonymous task would be doubled.
After Marco hung up the communication, he looked at Dove with a miserable white face, Dove was another low-level elemental mage in the patrol and Marko's subordinate.
Unlike Annie, who is young and has a lot of momentum and future possibilities, although he also listens to Marko's arrangements and orders, but he doesn't really follow Marko, Dove feels that it is difficult for him to be promoted to the level of an intermediate elemental mage, so he defected to Marko early in the morning to make plans for himself.
After hearing the communication between Marco and Mayor Skenki, Dove's face turned pale and it was impossible to tell if it was due to an overdraft of elemental power or because of this obviously terrible conspiracy.
"I know, you're going to make the right choice, right?" Marco patted Dove on the shoulder as if soothingly.
Dove swallowed, his voice trembling, and his mind blanked the answer, "Yes......"
"Don't worry, Mayor Skench and I won't treat you badly, let's do a good job." Marco's friendly and kind smile.
Dove lowered his head, his voice slowly calming down, though still trembling, "Yes." β
β¦β¦
Lu Xi didn't have long eyes, so she naturally didn't know what was happening here, she just ordered people to watch Marko's actions - but unfortunately, Marko's two calls were before this.
The first time, of course, was to see the dragon footprints of the dragon, and Marco initiated contact with Mayor Sench on the same day, because there was no elemental mage to act as a battery, Marco did not have a long conversation.
And then it was this time that Marco found Dove almost immediately.
The time he chose was also just right, he had just arrived at the Spirit Farm, everyone was busy, and no one had time to observe others.
So, what Lu Xi saw and felt that something was wrong with Marco was already Marco after confirming the plan with Mayor Sienqi.
I did the daily tasks of the return week as usual, and took time out every day to brush up the goodwill of the residents who should be brushed, and the morning time passed.
In the afternoon, Lu Xi went to see the progress of the construction of the "collective dormitory" under the construction of Jaegli, which was different from her own cottage that was automatically built in an hour.
The construction of this collective dormitory requires a lot of real people to work, so these low-level elemental warriors given by Levert have been building houses for themselves recently.
The progress is very fast, and Lu Xi estimates that it can be successfully completed in about five days, and in the end, there is a bonus to the game system, which saves a lot of time.
Then Lu Xi took Betem to the warehouses of the Lingyu Farm and sorted out all the goods that signed the trade contract.
From the third day of her return to the Spiritual Farm, there were convoys of noble merchants from various noble merchants who had been promised.
Fortunately, Betm and Rowem are in charge of this part of the matter, and Lu Xi goes to check the progress every day, so she doesn't really have to think about it.
What made Betham a little dissatisfied was that although Miss Lucy gave him all the transactions with the various families and gave him great trust, she did not let him contact the original residents of the Funeral Farm, and only excused Rowem to be in charge.
So now, Bethham has not even known anything about the other locations except Miss Lucy's residence, several warehouses, and the square of the Funeral Farm.
However, Betham was not too anxious, and as soon as he came up, he showed the intention of fighting for power, which easily disgusted Miss Lucy.
With his methods, he can always figure out the whole of the Spiritual Farm by taking his time.
More than a week after the tasks of the return week had been completed, that is, half a month after Lu Xi returned to the Spirit Farm, she suddenly received an unexpected letter.
[Miss Lucy, the situation is urgent, let's make a long story short, someone has spread the news of you and Miao, the ice dragon on the mountains of Beirutes has already passed towards the Spirit Farm, please be careful. γ
Lu Xi's brain, which was immersed in peaceful daily life, stiffened for a while before he realized the news energy contained in it...... A dragon flew towards the Soul Farm???
The ice dragon on the mountains of Beirutes...... Isn't it her own mother?
Lu Xi looked at the carefree farming in the yard, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the signature at the bottom of the letter.
