Chapter 100 and Chapter 16: Finding the Farm

Someday it will happen.

Winkel urges his servants to procreate, and he proves surprisingly bad at it. Regardless of the setbacks, his chief of staff persevered and worked hard to fulfill his duties to the satisfaction of his master.

And he overbred.

"Minions!" Vai

queu

Barking. "Minions!"

His chief of staff did not respond, but lay in armor in the soaked courtyard of the inn. The warm iron plate looked like it had been struck by King Wotan's lightning, and his man inside was already half dead. Even its tail is soft!

They found his body in the rubble of his bedroom. He didn't wake up for several hours.

"I told him not to do it." Goblina lamented sadly, while Chocolate held the unconscious Chief of Staff in her arms. Winkel's minions formed a circle around Manlin Victor, flanked by faces unknown to the dragon. All the magicians present kept casting spells on the Prime Minister, but to no avail. "I warned him!" I warned him!"

"It seems like a shock." Juris said, shaking his head. "It's a miracle that he didn't die on the spot. If he hadn't reached for the potion before he fell unconscious, he would have left us......"

"You, doctor." Winkel turned to the pesky Allison. "Wake him up!"

"We're working on it, Your Majesty!" The Dryant said that Knight Kia cast [Full Heal] on the Dragon's Friend. "His body is functioning normally, but his soul is ......"

"His soul was almost enlightened," some red-haired Manlin explained. He experienced such great happiness that his soul was afraid to return to the world and find everything else disappointing. He won't wake up until Victor realizes that there are other pleasures in this universe besides what he sees. ”

"What could be happier than serving me?" Winkel looked down at his chief of staff and replied. "Minions! Minion! I have a challenge to win! Minions!"

His friend's body didn't even twitch.

"I shouldn't have pushed him," Winkel realized, filled with remorse. "If His infinite love for me wasn't enough to wake him up......"

"He's alive," the redhead said with a shrug. "So he's still tied down to the world. Give him some time to recover from God's vision. ”

"How long will it take?" Allison asked the redhead.

"It depends. It took me a whole week to fantasize about myself before I got back into the waking world. ”

"A week?" Vai

queu

frowned. "My Immortal Hunt Challenge will start in a few days!" I can't wait a week!"

"Fairy hunting?" Kia asked, looking up at the dragon with primal desire.

"Will there be a princess?" Gorinich asked salivatingly.

"You weren't invited!" Winkel rebuked both of them before turning to his other retinue. "No matter. I'm going to hold him in my hands. ”

"No, Your Majesty, don't do that!" Alliso

Plead. "He's completely helpless in this state and he needs medical attention."

"There's no safer place than around me," Wankel insisted. "You can heal him on the way to the fairy farm."

"Is the king going to attack with Victor?" K

IGHT Kia asked. "It's too dangerous to take him there. Just one spell and he'll die forever. ”

The dragon grunted, but was still considering her words. His minions may be too vulnerable, and the dragon currently lacks the funds to raise him......

"Yes." Goblina asked, her face full of worry.

"For the sake of our alliance, I will leave my chief of staff on your land until my servants take care of him and recover his health, and I will not be able to summon him back to me," Wankel said. "If something happens to him while I'm away, I'll burn this island to ashes. Did I make that clear?"

The goblin shuddered a little at the sight of the threat, but nodded anyway. "I have the best Minions in the world," she said. "A week? We'll wake him up in three days! But what about Tarask?"

"Obviously, you're going to feed him while I'm away. Minions, I want you to prove that you are better than her servants. "A little bit of competition between the Minions will only increase their productivity." I must leave first, burn down the Immortal Manor, and let Ice Fang take his place. ”

"Then I'll go with you." Knight Kea said.

Winkel looked at the arrogant Manlin. She must have an IQ of 9 square roots, and she doesn't understand that he doesn't want her around. "Nope."

"Can you take me there?" (Paladin) took her hand and almost begged him. "Please, I need to act!"

"And how much?"

Knight Kia froze. "How much is what?"

"How much are you willing to pay for my privilege?"

Since the dragon knew that his grandfather could not hear her, it took the knight's silence as an admission of his poverty. When she plucked up the courage to speak out, it was for bargaining. "Do you want me to pay you for your work?"

"I don't want to, I ask you to pay me and make me ignore your incompetence," Winkel explained in a language she could understand. "It's an honor to go on an exclusive adventure with the best dragons in the world, and you don't deserve it. I can't stand idly by without proper tribute. ”

Now that he thought about it, he could make money on it.

"That'sβ€”" Knight Kia let out a long sigh as she stopped herself from trying to get past her servant station. "You need someone to talk to the locals. I can replace Vic. ”

"Like you were my niece's servant?" Winkel replied contemptuously. "I assure you that the locals will beg for the privilege of giving me guidance."

"If they don't understand you, they won't." (Paladin) replied. "Victor wrote about the location of the farm near Nagastan, where the people did not speak Mandarin or Dragon."

Winkel opened his mouth to mock her further. "Ah, before I leave, I'll have one of my minions cast a translation spell on me!" Your logic is flawed!"

"When you get to this country, the spell will disappear. As long as I can cast spells as much as I want. ”

Van Kerr had intended to turn her down until he realized that without [Master Shield], there was no way for him to heal himself in a pinch. [Paladin] may be a second-class minion who can help him recover from his wounds......

"All right," Winkel said. "But you can get on the wagon. My hands are too good for you. ”

He could already imagine the moment when his chief of staff would sweep that inbred dragon from under the knight's nose......

After leaving Teikoku Island, Vai

Fly in a straight line to his destination, fly over the sea, and then reach the huge continent. Knight Kia tells him that they will pass through the Jade Empire first, a name that inspires his memory. It is said that a dragon helps the local Manling people to "farm".

Winkel wanted to brag back and forth with this powerful relative, but he didn't have enough time. The ice cube and his party have already left, and he needs to meet them at the farm so as not to default on the challenge.

The maggot flew over the continent for a whole day, one night, and until the next sunset, while Grinich struggled to follow. They pass through verdant forests, rice paddies, and high mountains; However, the city of Manling they passed through seemed to be mostly deserted.

Their journey takes them to the dry land between the ocean and the huge mountains that make the Albon Mountains look like hills. Winkel smelled the smell of scaly hides on the ground, from serpentine dragons to lizardmen.

The dragon decided to stop at a large city on the way, which was a cluster of circular terracotta houses near the local forest. Unlike the stone and wooden beehives to which Winkel was already accustomed, the place was built mainly of red clay and brick. The architects focused their attention on the columns, pillars, and domes, while the dragon noticed tigers and elephants in the huge enclosure nearby.

Like all the other cities they flew over, the city seemed uninhabited; However, Winkel's keen senses noticed the people in the house, who were too shy to face him.

"We arrived earlier than I thought!" When he landed in the deserted square, Van Kerr was overjoyed. "We might have time to do a short survey."

"Quick exploration?" Zia asked, jumping off Golenich's back, by which time Zia was exhausted.

"Golenich is thirsty......" said the policeman. Gorinic needs breast milk ......"

"I have to train in my class and fill my treasury with new gold," Winkel reminded the Knights of Kia's purpose in life. "Now, announce that I'm here."

"Say, herald?" Knight Kia asked, showing her lack of retinue.

"My chief of staff always announces my great and magnanimous presence to the primitive natives," Winkel said to the uncultured biped, who had already regretted bringing her on this trip. "Tell them I brought them the civilization of dragons."

"Ah, okay." The knight spoke, quickly casting a translation spell on himself and the mightiest dragon. "Brave citizens, we're here to help!"

"Money!" Winkel reminded her that the man grimaced. "Tell them to bring the cows!"

The door of the round house opened, and a black cobra the size of a man crawled out. Winkel recognized it as a snake beast, or Naga; A red scarf is wrapped around one mouth. "What's going on?" Naga hissed, then noticed Van Kerr and a paralyzed Golenich. "Oh, another dragon expedition. That's great. Listen, if you're here to grab cattle, I can only politely ask you to leave and never come back. ”

[Ξ± magnetism (scale) was [negative] revised].

"Is this the village of Danyakuria?" K

Ight Kia asked, who was in charge of planning the trip. Naga nodded, as anxious as Winkel himself was to break up with her. "We are looking for a former stronghold in the area. Have you seen any signs of fairy activity lately?"

"No, because everybody stays at home," Naga replied. "It's been a while since we've heard from a nearby village, but I don't know if it's the voice of a fairy or the plague."

"Can you tell us the direction of these villages?"

"Minion Kia, you're ignoring what's really important," Vai

Towards the Naga, exhausted by the knight's incompetence. "I have time for a short exploration."

"Task? No one is going to go on an expedition with this damn plague! All the adventure guilds are closed and our economy is ruined! Naga hissed with his tail wagged. "Respect my safe space!"

"You have nothing to be afraid of," Kia said. "I am immune to [disease], and as a [paladin], I can cure it as much as I want."

"(Knight)?" Naga immediately turned to Kia and watched her so intensely that it unnerved Manlin. "Which god?"

"Mithra," she replied, Naga wagging her tail excitedly.

"This changes everything!" Yes, I might have a mission for you!" Naga cleared her throat. "Our association of architects is holding an annual architectural competition. A team had to visit and evaluate our design, but they needed to include Mithra or Leone's [paladin]. All the healers mobilized to deal with (the elven plague) and social distancing, but we couldn't find anyone who met our standards. ”

"Why do you need Paladi in an architectural competition

?” Kia asked, frowning.

"Because these paladins of the gods are compelled to speak the truth and act with chivalry." The orc replied. "So we can trust that they will give an honest opinion. Because we can't limit competition to one class, their partner can be anyone or anything. ”

"How much and for how long?" The dragon asked some pointed questions. "I'm the best adventurer in the world, with the highest rates, and we're running out of time."

"If you win the competition, you can get a million gold medals," Wankel salivated, but the next words shattered his hopes, "but it could take days." ”

Ah, that's too long!" You'll have to wait until I burn down the Immortal Farm to find your winner. ”

"I won't accept this task," said Knight Kia, whose greed showed that she was unworthy of being a minion. "I don't need gold."

"The winner will also receive a powerful magical item from our guild's holy patronus," Naga said, "and some will even receive a Hero Badge." ”

"Why would someone get a Hero badge in a building competition?"

"The fewer the problems, the more gold," Wankel interrupted, finding her lack of enthusiasm for hoarding irritating. What did Manlin Victor like about her? She lacks the value of a true dragon!

"Your Majesty, don't you think this mission is suspicious?" K

IGHT Kia asked. "When someone proposes a task with such a high reward, he is either wrong or treacherous."

"If you doubt me, then cast magic on me," Naga said. "I have nothing to hide."

"I said I'd stop profiling, but I'd make an exception; [Enhanced Karma Scan], "Kia casts a spell to read Naga's karma. A smile quickly spread across her face. "It's not bad, it's orderly...... In Mu

It's so refreshing to stay for so long, I forgot that there are people like this. ”

"If I have time to claim the gold, where do I find it?" This part has been settled, Winkel asked.

The snake insisted, "First of all, you have to swear to get involved and give it everything you have." "Our holy patron saint really insists that we do it."

"Of course, I swore to win." Wacker shrugged.

"I swear by my honor," Kia replied, "if Shesha needs comfort." ”

"Oh, my guild doesn't worship Shesha," Naga replied. "She tolerated us because our dungeons offered business opportunities, but our adventurer mortality rate was a bit too high for her."

The paladin blinked. "You mean the dungeon?"

"Yes, the dungeon. I'm [Dungeon Architect] and [Trap Master]. Why, do you think the trapped grave grows on a tree? Who do you think designed these snake pits and secret passages? No one has ever respected our hard work. ”

"Don't remind me," Winkel said. "When I ordered them to build an arena and more towers for my castle, commanding my minions was a constant struggle. Alas, their minds could not comprehend my incomparable, visionary design. ”

"So it's a dungeon building competition?" Knight Kia drew her sword. "Wait, which god would sponsor such a guild?"

Naga looked at her strangely. "I think your attempt to get me to confess my faith is an attack on my religious freedom."

"But you just asked me which god I servedβ€”"

"Yes, but that doesn't mean I have to tell you. What if I worship the Sangha? Would you treat me differently?"

"Yes." Knight Kia replied ominously.

"I'm absolutely right."

"I don't care which 'god' servant you are," Winkel said. "Where's the gold?"

"Do you have a map and feathers?" The knight Chia reluctantly handed the Naga to him, and the snake struggled to draw a small cross on it. "Damn two legs, you can't make a map for someone without arms...... Now forgive me, I have to dodge germs. ”

"Your Majesty, are we really going to do this?" Knight Kia asked, glaring at the snake as he returned home.

"Yes, but I'll have to burn down the fairy manor first." 1,000,000 gold coins are enough to shatter Ice Fang's delusion of wealth.

Speaking of Ice Fangs, the dragon hummed the wind to sniff his opponent's scent in case he managed to sneak in front of him.

The skill check was successful.

Stunned.

"What?" K

IGHT Kia asked.

"I smell it......" Van Kle couldn't believe it. Dragon's blood?"
