Chapter 383: Customs

So, when Long Yi appeared, this Earth Dragon Knight immediately stared at Long Yi's face.

At the beginning, Sorin's makeup for Ryuichi had a reference. And that reference is none other than Abbas.

Abbas usually doesn't like to go out, but as a member of the Black family, Abbas's face shape naturally inherits the characteristics of the Black family. And these, inevitable characteristics, Sorin must have taken care of.

Long Yi's appearance now belongs to the kind that looks quite similar at first glance, but it doesn't look much like it when you look closely, but the more you look at it, the more you look like it.

Especially the Earth Dragon Knight was originally nervous, but it naturally looked very similar.

"Ahem, this sir...... Villain, it's just a duty, please don't be surprised......" Earth Dragon Knight said nervously. He had a device in his hand, and this device was a little larger than the one before. As he spoke, he injected his fighting energy into it, and the device immediately appeared with light, sweeping Ryuichi and Erin beside him up and down.

The main purpose of this device is to detect vindictive energy. But Long Yi had already reduced all his fighting energy to the power of a giant at this time, and Erin's body was a complete dragon power, which was completely undetectable by this device.

Realizing that the device did not alarm, the Earth Dragon Knight breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed and said, "Please come in, my lord, and apologize to you again." ā€

Long Yi smiled, turned around and threw a small bag to the coachman, and said, "Thank you for taking care of yourself along the way, go buy yourself some decent clothes for this little thing." ā€

The coachman took the bag, and the hardness and edges of it immediately raised his blood pressure a lot. And the slight protrusion of the corners from the pockets immediately made the dragon knight's eyes widen.

It turned out to be a gem!

This man actually gave the coachman gems as fares!

What the hell!

If the Earth Dragon Knight was a little skeptical at the beginning, now he doesn't have the slightest suspicion. In this Black Dragon Empire Imperial City, there are few families that can make such a generous move!

Xiao Zi passed underground. Sorin, on the other hand, entered the city under the cover of Ryuichi and Erin. It is easier to enter the city during the day than at night.

"Whew...... It's so cool to be a local tyrant!" Long Yi took out a gem from his pocket and put it in the sun to look at it carefully.

"I didn't buy it with money, it felt like a fake. Erin said as she looked at the diamond in the dragon's hand.

"Haha, although I made these things, there is no difference in the ingredients!" Long Yi said proudly.

Yes, those night pearls and these gems. All of them were made by Long Yi himself.

Needless to say, the composition of the beads is no different from the mussel shell, and the clamshell is beaten into powder to make beads. Just get something that glows and fill it in.

And these diamonds are much simpler, just find some charcoal and make them. Because the ingredients are simple, they are purer. It looks even brighter than a real diamond!

There are several famous hotels in the inner city, and Ryuichi and Erin chose the most luxurious one to live in. The act of paying entirely with gems directly alarmed the hotel owner. The best room and the most delicious food were naturally available.

And then. For three full days, Long Yi and Erin walked around the entire imperial city.

It has to be said that the supreme control has brought some impact to the imperial city, but it is difficult to hide the prosperity in it. The Imperial City of the Black Dragon Empire covers an area of nearly six hundred square kilometers and has a population of more than one million. Of course, this is counting the area and population of the periphery. Among them, the inner and outer cities have an area of 80 square kilometers and a population of less than 100,000. It is different from an open-ended business empire like the White Dragon Empire. The Black Dragon Empire monopolized everything in the hands of the Imperial Family, the most famous of the Imperial Cities. The best, the most extravagant, are certainly run by royalty.

In the past three days, Long Yi has a thorough understanding of the residents of the Black Dragon Empire's imperial city.

To put it nicely, they are very pragmatic. To put it mildly, they are all snobbish.

No, extreme snobbery.

Dogs look at people and people are just petty fights, and here, the most common thing is to show off their wealth on the street.

Compared with the world where Long Yi showed off his wealth in his previous life, the flaunting of wealth in this world seems a little simpler and crude. In just three days, Long Yi saw six times when noble ladies competed with each other to buy expensive jewelry. I have seen two rich merchant auction houses deliberately auction useless things at high prices. Not to mention the many more brain-dead behaviors.

However, in Long Yi's opinion, showing off his wealth like this can't show that he is rich at all. Because he spent a lot of money, didn't he end up with something about the same value as this money? The money just changed and returned to his side, to put it bluntly, he was just a poor poor ghost who couldn't bear the money in his bones.

If you want to show off your wealth, there is one easiest way.

Donate.

Give homeless people a man-made building, let them live in it for free, and raise them for a lifetime. Give each of the poor people in the city a car and help them maintain it for the rest of their lives.

How cool.

However, in addition to this, Long Yi also had a deeper understanding of the inhabitants of this imperial city.

These people supported their emperor in a very extreme way. Anytime their emperor was mentioned, a sickly excitement appeared on everyone's face. They would even shout long live the emperor during meals, and would thank the emperor for bringing them income when collecting money.

This kind of treatment has never been seen by the Emperor of the White Dragon Empire.

If he wasn't worried about Xiao Zi being discovered, he really wanted Xiao Zi to see if everyone had been brainwashed.

However, thanks to this snobbish atmosphere, even in this period of supreme control, the soldiers patrolling the streets did not bring much trouble to Long Yi and them, and Long Yi, who followed the local customs, gave full play to the behavior of the local tyrants.

For three days, Long Yi was doing the locals, while Xiao Zi and Sister Dandy searched the entire city. The Dandy sisters determined the location of the Yaksha, and Xiao Zi even infiltrated the real yĆ n room of the Black Dragon Empire. To Ryuichi's surprise, the factory that once made undead warriors was reopened.

It seems that this time the number of destinations has increased again.

Then, Ryuichi also started to act.

That morning, Ryuichi arrived at the door of Abbas's mansion and handed over a letter to the guards at the door.

Soon after, a thin old man walked out of it, and the old man looked Long Yi up and down, and then said, "Follow me." ā€

This old man is Abbas's personal attendant, he grew up with Abbas since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is like a brother, and he has a deep trust in Abbas, and many of Abbas's affairs are entrusted to him to take care of.

Long Yi smiled slightly, followed the butler, and walked into Abbas's huge mansion.

Even in the Black Dragon Empire, which is full of huge wealth, the huge mansion of Abbas is enough to scare people to death. As a businessman of the royal faction, the money he made in his life was even comparable to that of the American treasury. Of course, most of this also goes into the treasury as taxes.

Abbas has loved two things in his life.

Money.

Bet.

Abbas gambled a lot, and the stakes were huge.

And there was a bet that made Abbas haunt him the most.

Ten years ago, while the old emperor was still alive, Abbas made a bet with Emperor Garnier, who insisted that the world would find a natural fiery diamond.

The so-called fiery eye diamond. It should be a huge diamond in nature, but in the center of a pure, colorless diamond there will be a fiery red diamond. At first, no one knew what the dispute was, but there was a lot of trouble here back then. Abbas lives on his own, and if he can find the Burning Eye before he dies, the Emperor will reduce Abbas's tax rate. And if Abbas fails, the emperor will once again raise the current tax rate to an astonishing height.

Ten years ago, Abbas searched the world for the fiery diamond and paid a lot of money. But this kind of thing that can be encountered but not sought is definitely not something that can be found when you find it. Some people try to deceive and deceive, but let alone the fire eye, the first attribute of a giant diamond is extremely difficult to satisfy. After finally cutting off the heads of a few people, no one ever challenged the prize again.

Originally, after the old emperor died, Abbas thought that the bet should have lapsed. But the new Emperor Jacques made the bet again at this time, and it was clear that he really intended to raise the tax rate for Abbas.

This annoyed Abbas, but the thought of Jacques' monster made Abbas dare not refute it. After all, the ministers who were beheaded before are examples.

Now, Ryuichi is here.

Abbas was a fat man, short and fat, and because he was not as tall as Thorn and lacked any vindictiveness, he appeared extremely clumsy. However, when Long Yi took out the fire eye diamond that was bigger than his fist from his private space, Abbas rushed to Long Yi almost in one step, and then turned out the gem with trembling hands, and looked greedily at the fire eye inside like a flame beating.

"Your Excellency!"

The butler spoke from the sidelines.

Abbas immediately realized his gaffe.

The fiery eye diamond was handed over to the butler, who put on special glasses and looked at it carefully, and after a while, Abbas saw with his own eyes that his hands trembled with excitement when he saw that he had not been shocked for ten thousand years!

"It's true!"

Although the butler had tried his best to suppress his feelings, this sudden surprise made his hands tremble uncontrollably.

Abbas hurriedly took the diamond, and although it was only a rough stone that had not been cut in any way, its sheer size and incredible immaculate purity had left Abbas with no time to care. He stared greedily at the fiery eye in the center of the diamond, barely willing to take his eyes away!

"My lord, can we talk about the remuneration?"

Long Yi reminded aloud. (To be continued......)
