"Finally!" Wankel arrived at the coast, saw the sea and was very happy. "It's finally here!"

After flying non-stop in the desert for several days, the sight of the clear water filled him with infinite joy. Watching the sun set over the water has never felt so pleasant.

"This is the Inland Sea to the east of the V&V Empire," Manlin Victor said on a Gorinich ride, with the Knight Kia behind him. "We're almost home."

"Are Your Majesty sure they don't want to deal with the dungeon mission yet?" Knight Kia asked, a little disappointed. "It's suspicious, but we need more levels and power-ups."

"My treasure is calling to me," Winkel said. The trip exhausted him, especially the last section. "I may be a tireless, beautiful dragon, but I need to feel the warmth of gold under my paws."

In addition, the storage of the "Ice Fang" and his crew was left unattended. If they do not have close relatives to claim, then he will take them back himself. The memory of the opponent should never get in the way of profits.

"I think we should do as many difficult tasks as possible," IGHT Kia said. Maybe look for artifacts like the legendary [Conspiracy Armor]. Won't that help against Odius?"

"Your enthusiasm today is astonishing," Manlin Victor said. "You're usually more ...... I don't know, it's apathy, right?"

"Remember what I said to you in Dortonia?" Knight Kea asked, and the Chief of Staff nodded. "I've finally had a purpose again, and I've never been so excited. I can clear the dungeon by myself!"

"Well, now that I can cast eight layers of spells, I can finally learn some decent teleportation spells." "We can easily accomplish this task after the more important things are arranged."

"Indeed, since the buffet of the Dragon Secret Society is the responsibility of the organizers," Winkel explained, Manling Victor's skin turned pale. "Minions, you fed everyone in time when I ruled the desert, not a lush Minion utopia like today. You can handle it. ”

"I think Your Majesty is a little optimistic, but...... Well, we now have a teleportation network and a food supply in Tarask. I also received a report [of the Crimson Study] telling me that the Agarthans had succeeded in sending the beast to the Dodo. ”

Knight Kia made a strange expression. "Can the Tarasques breed with dodos?"

"Yes!" Vai

Nodding.

"No," replied Manlin Victor, always pessimistic. "Or at least, if they can, I pray I'll never see action."

Speaking of the buffet, Winkel was hungrier. "I want a cow feast!"

"Gorinich is also hungry," the police complained. "Gorinich is so hungry that he has to eat himself!"

"There's a trading post in Nagastan nearby," Manlin Victor said, pointing to the west. "We can resupply there."

"They have colonies in the Far West?" Knight Kia asked, crossing his arms. "I thought Bahrain had assimilated the region a long time ago."

"Nagastan succeeded in establishing a trade route on the ruins of the Sabrais Empire," said Manlin Victor. "As far as I know, this has caused tensions with local powers such as the Yongsheng Empire, who see these trading posts as a prelude to military expansion. I think the plague may have delayed a full-scale conflict in the region. ”

Winkel didn't care about Manlin's quarrel, and neither did his stomach. "Friend Victor, hurry up and find me a cow, or we'll call the Knight of Kia to help."

"Me?"

"I don't think she can summon any food," his chief of staff said.

"She's a minion," Winkel reminded Manlin Victor (Ma.).

Food chain. "If we can't find food soon, we're going to have to make sacrifices to avoid starvation." Since she was the most worthless servant of the group, he would rather start with her than with Gorinich.

"What does that mean?" Chia the knight asked, ignoring his duty. "Victor, what does he mean?"

"Oh, nothing!" Manlin Victor hurriedly replied. "Let's find the trading post!"

Thanks to the Paladin, it didn't take us long to find it. The owner of the house built a large brick house on the cliff, near a sandy road and a pen of goats. This place may be able to accommodate dozens of brutes, but there are no accommodations for any dragons.

Is the lava bath requirement too much?

When they had all landed, startling the goat, his servants climbed down from Golenich and knocked on the door. A rotting ghoul in a round hat opened the door and immediately noticed Winkel. "Oh, two dragons at the same time!" He said roughly. "It's the first time."

"Where's the other one?" Van Kerr looked around and ignored Golenich.

"Are you here to heal?" The innkeeper asked. "If there is, please fill in your illness in our paperwork."

"Wait, I recognize the voice," Knight Kia muttered, "Nestor?"

The ghoul narrowed his eyes and quickly recognized the paladin. "Madame Kachin Independence Army? Is that you?"

"Nestor, you stubborn old ghoul, you haven't seen you in years!" Knight Kia smiled at the undead. "How's your doing?"

"You know him?" Victor asked,

"When I went to the War of the Century, he was a crusader," Kia said. "The best shooter I know!"

"It feels like a lifetime ago." The ghoul said, then whistled at Winkel. "Well, you must be a famous V&V adventurer!"

"Of course, my words and deeds are pale in the face of my splendor! The emperor said proudly.

"Well, they say either that you are a valiant freedom fighter or that you are a greedy warlord bent on conquering other countries for a penny. It's weird, always one extreme or the other. I'm sorry I didn't welcome you properly, this place is such a mess. ”

"What are you doing in the desert?" Knight Kia asked him, perhaps hoping for a discount. "I haven't seen you since the last battle with King Baraul."

"I retired from the expedition, and the Naga lord of Nagastan gave me a sum of money to maintain this trading post." The undead replied. "I mainly serve a handful of adventurers or merchants who brave the desert."

"Wait, you're a ghoul, a carrion eater." "How do you eat in the middle of nowhere?"

"Let's put it this way, I don't accept labels." The ghoul replied with a crooked smile. "As far as you're concerned, though, since there's Ms. Kia on your side, your stay is free. Most of my beds, though, are filled with patients; I want to keep those infected businessmen alive

"You're a therapist?" Victor asked.

"I'm a hat (innkeeper). Thanks to my professional and personal allowances, my inn can treat almost anything. HP, SP, Status Effect, Petrified, Crippling ......"

"Wait, what's going on?" Victor nudged Manlin. "We pay for a bed and we can grow arms?"

"You need to pay for a bed, sleep in a bed for eight hours, and you'll be cured at the end of the day," the ghoul explained. "As the plague continues, I have become the de facto hospital."

"Can you cure dwarf addiction?" Van Kerr's head lifted. "I want a servant."

The ghoul makes a strange noise that disappoints the dragon. "I can cure neither addiction nor the rare (Stockholm syndrome). But I can cure (E

th

all)。 ”

"You can cure total mind control, but you can't cure alcoholism," Knight Kia narrowed.

"I don't set the rules, Ms. Kia. In short, that nasty plague resists magical healing, and even my own privilege. But since I can refresh everyone's HP every 8 hours, at least I can keep the patient alive until we find a cure. ”

"I'm going to cast [Full Heal] on them," [Paladin] proposed, but ordered Vai

Confused, he didn't ask for the fee first.

"That is helpful, but be careful, ma'am," replied the shopkeeper. "The infected person looked normal for a few days, and then they started spraying infected blood everywhere."

"Oh, is that how disease is contagious?" Van Kerr thought curiously. He had always wondered how birth defects in mammals occurred. "Sometimes, I wonder how you slave species survive on their own."

"Come to think of it, dragons are immune to disease, and when I leveled up in [Monster Knight], I developed resistance to them," Manlin Victor said. "Maybe there's something worth exploring there."

"So far, even experienced alchemists and healers have not found a cure," the shopkeeper shrugged.

"I trained under Camilla." Manlin Victor replied, and the ghoul sneered. "Yes, I know, in the current situation, I shouldn't brag about it, but if anyone can find a cure, it's me."

Winkel immediately understood the plan of his chief of staff. "Then we'll sell it for a good price," the dragon said happily. "Clever!"

"Do you want to profit from the suffering of your patients?" Knight Kia argued angrily, not seeing the big picture.

"Look at me, Manlin." Winkel said, staring into the paladin's eyes. "What would they say if I, the richest dragon in the world, offered a cheap cure to my minions?"

"Say you're kind and magnanimous?"

"No, it's worthless!" Vai

replied. "Have you considered the cost?" The amount of time Manlin Victor spent on this matter is the time he didn't spend taking care of my every whim!"

"This discussion can wait until we find a vaccine," said Manlin Victor

Say, the innkeeper somehow rolled his rotten eyes.

"I decided to sleep on the beach, but I asked for the cows in return," Wankel insisted. "Goats can't do it."

"I'm going to see if there's any beef in the pantry."

"And, Nestor, we're close to Sabrata, right?" Knight Kia asked, "I've been thinking about stopping by that store on my way back."

"The pyramids," Winkel corrected, still remembering the elven catastrophe that began there. "I don't want to get my paws dirty anymore."

"You're a little late." The ghoul said. "This place was empty two weeks ago. Apparently, there was also a crazy mummy and a bunch of undead at the bottom of it, but they all left. ”

Winkel suddenly remembered that his servants had told him that the Aknapep mummy had built his lair at the bottom of the sea. "Explain." The dragon commanded.

The mummy called on all the damned worshippers of Sabra on the other side of the desert to join him. Clichés like "the end is coming". He even has a puppet with a signboard. ”

"Their end is near," Winkel said. "That mom owes me millions."

"Do you know where they went?" Manling asked, anxious to avenge his master's lost wealth.

"I don't know," [innkeeper] shrugged. "As far as I know, they opened the magic door and then disappeared. Despite this, almost all of the crusaders I was still in contact with moved back to Gardmani shortly after. I don't know what's going on, but I've heard that Priedan's soldiers are making trouble. ”

They should. for their days are numbered.

"Since you're here, can you sign for me?" The ghoul asked everyone. "I have a feeling that it will cost a lot of money in a century."

"Don't worry," Winkel said comfortingly. "It's going to cost a lot of money now."

After two more days of flying on their stomachs, Winkel's team went home.

Since their departure, the Gollumers have grown larger, mainly due to the dwarves opening portals around the city. Countless new faces poured into the capital, from goblins from the Taiko Empire to Manlin merchants from the port of Wankel. The desert was pushed back further, and golems and wizards tended the verdant fields.

Winkel let out a roar announcing his triumphant return, and the townspeople raised their eyes to the sky in response. Cheers and applause soon echoed through the streets, and his minions welcomed their beloved ruler back in the right way.

The dragon walks towards his castle, which has remained unchanged since he left and had his first conflict with King Wotan, and then he enters his basement and finds his only true love.

"It's good to be home," said Winkel, who rested for a moment on his treasure.

His gold reserves recovered from the resurrection of "Nasty Allison", but did not grow either. The dragon took comfort in the fact that his new colony would eventually increase its size tenfold; He just had to wait for the gold to flow out.

Congratulations! Complete your first trip to the world, and you and your trusty chief of staff receive a personal Magellan allowance!

And other servant dignitaries also joined his coffers. "Minions." Winkel cleared his throat. "May the empire sing my name for my triumphant return!"

"Really," Jouis said, examining a pile of papers. "With the new conquests, our resources have increased dramatically. We have already begun to develop the remaining naval infrastructure in the port of Winkel, extract the whisky sea, and establish trade treaties with foreign countries. Our monopoly on the first global transmission network is expected to double our national revenues next year. ”

"You'll be happy to know that your army is ready and equipped with the safest equipment ever." Malbruyne happily added.

"How's the piggy bank II?" Winkel asked, mourning the death of the first man by Wotan's lightning. He could no longer fly half the world alone. The dragon has lost a lot of fat and he can see his ribs!

"It's almost done." The dwarf assured.

"And what about the Oknur rocket?" Manlin Victor asked, which confused Winkel.

"Ready to launch on Sahain's Day." "We will save the surprise to the critical moment to avoid a riot among his followers."

"Great." Knight Chia said. "Can I supervise the preparations?" It's not Paladin's style, but it has to be done. ”

"Gladly," Delicious Ma

Say. "You'll be pleased to know that our guidance systems and passenger safety protocols have been tested, tested, tested."

"But there are still some bad things that need to be addressed," G Jules said. "It's heaven. The angels have drastically slashed their investments in the empire, and while they still keep the hospital and school, Mir's departure is a blow to our management. ”

"The Happy Nation is more than happy to compensate the Empire for its losses." Malfoy said hurriedly, glancing at Manlin Victor. "Because we don't forget our heroes."

Knight Kia grimaced, but focused on the real threat. "Are we ready to attack Pryden?"

"We can be in Samhai

After the festival organize a landing on their shores. ”

"Minions, I have a task for you." Winkel remained silent as he spoke. "You are to be scattered to all corners of the world, to meet each of the chiefs of staff, and ask them to send a message to their dragon masters"

All his retinue were ready, waiting for him to enlighten them.

"The fairies have violated the ancient truce that binds our race; They kidnap helpless monsters to get their blood and escalate to steal their souls! This cannot be tolerated!"

[When] activates!

"I, Van Klell Knight Bane, have declared war on Praitan, but it's no longer my business!" The dragon raised his fist. "A lesson must be taught to the Fomos, and for this reason, in the name of the old demon maggot, I convene the first dragon secret meeting since the end of the first Fomo war with the dragon!" There won't be a third!"

Most of his servants raised their fists, ready to conquer Prydan in the name of the dragons. "For the revolution!" The dwarves present shouted.

"Free property!" Malfoy said.

"And the new undead!" Juris said.

"For the whole world!" Knight Kia raised her sword.

Manlin Victor clapped his hands and smiled, even though he looked strangely uneasy.

"Now......" Van Kle followed, his minions all waiting for his last words.

The dragon built a nest on his treasure.

"Now I'll take a nap."
