"Wine and coffee,

I just need a drink.

Remembering the past,

I drank a second glass.

Knowing that love is like flowing water,

It doesn't matter who he loves.

I want wine and coffee,

One glass after another......"

The café's newest gramophone plays a slightly decadent song, and Roland, who wears a bartender vest, peeks to the side as he wipes a crystal glass.

The princess of the Golden Dragon Clan drooped her head, her face covered by her long hair could not be seen clearly, and a thick aura of defeat rose from her back. Nidhogg, who had transformed into a middle-aged man, pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and shook the Bellini wine in his hand.

Perhaps because there are many similarities between coffee and bartending, Nidhogg's bartending skills are also quite good, like this, when it is close to closing, he takes out a variety of high-end wines from the wine cabinet to mix wines, and enjoys his own hand-blended wines that far exceed the standards of high-end hotels, while flipping through the ledger and listening to the pleasant crisp sound of gold and silver coins, which is his unique way of relaxing.

But today, because of the beautiful sound played by the gramophone, the sound of precious metals was a little inaudible, and he didn't pursue it. It's just like his master, with a mocking expression, and silently says, "It's still a little ghost......

With his life cycle, there may be a bit of a stance problem in saying this, but Roland doesn't want to pursue a hundreds of years old "child", Valrhona on the side is lost, and no one cares about him.

The two-headed dragon has just come out of a traditional non-violent competition between the dragon clan and who will win and who will lose. It's clear at a glance at the moment.

The dragons' temper minimizes the chance of conflict, but conflicts can still break out sometimes. If it is a very strict matter, it will be reported to the Council of Elders for adjudication. If the problem is not large, it is dealt with according to an unwritten rule.

The rule is very simple, that is, to compete who has more collectibles and is more valuable, that is, the wealth contest. The losing side obeys the winning side.

Immediately after leaving Li Lin's office, Nidhogg challenged Valrhona to fight for the rich.

As a dragon princess, Valrhona's treasures are among the top ten among the dragons, although she didn't take them out with her. But there is still an eye for appreciating contrasts. Follow her thoughts. How many black dragon babies can there be in a black dragon that is less than a thousand years old? Valrhona, who tried not to show her disdain, didn't think much about it, and agreed to it, and the sneer on the corner of Nidhogg's mouth was also regarded by her as a dead end, and she never thought of the possibility of failure. I never thought of agreeing to accept the challenge. In itself it means failure.

The game took about half an hour. 25 minutes for a horse-drawn carriage ride, 4 minutes for a walk into the Niderhogg mansion, and the last minute was the final minute.

There is nothing special about Nidhogg's mansion itself. Neither did his lord build the underground part into a fortress for survivalists, nor did he let vulgarity flood mansions like the nouveau riche.

Fountains, courtyards, flower beds, mansions - every element that makes up the mansion is rigid in the pattern of a wealthy merchant, and the interior decoration is also quite good, except for the statues and paintings of naked teenagers, the whole reveals a kind of sophistication based on abundance.

These were just appearances, and as soon as she stepped into the atrium of the garden, Valrhona's mind went blank.

At the center of the neatly manicured bush path stands a statue of a black dragon.

With a large number of black diamonds as the main raw material, amethyst as the embellishment, and red diamonds as the final finishing touch, the original life-size sculpture of Niedhogg.

A finger-sized black diamond is enough for a family of five to eat and wear for several years, piling up as many black diamonds as a hill, cutting and polishing by skilled craftsmen, one by one they are combined into a black dragon with wings spread and head high, and then with amethyst without a trace of variegated claws and wings, and red diamonds the size of a human head are used as eyes......!!!

Black diamonds are already worth a lot of money, and red diamonds are the rarest variety of colored diamonds, let alone the head-sized ones.

What kind of dog is this?!This black dragon bastard, how much of a tyrant is he?!!

Valrhona, who almost held her head and screamed loudly, rushed into the bathroom in one go, trying to wake herself up with cold water to get rid of this terrible nightmare, but as soon as she opened the bathroom door, she almost collapsed to the ground.

Bathtubs and sinks made of white gold, flush toilets made of rhodium gold, commonly known as black gold, toilet paper holders made of ivory, and screens made of gloomy wood made of thousand-year-old gold silk sandalwood......

In front of Nidhogg, known as the "fighter among the local tyrants", it only took one minute for Valrhona to experience what it means to be completely defeated, and she has been in a state of despair since then.

It's no wonder that she is so out of shape, although the dragon family has a long lifespan, in the long life cycle, it can also get a lot of top collectibles. But they created their own zào treasures, or such a big deal as Nidhogg, which had never been done before.

Don't let Fafrona bundle her own treasures compare to that sculpture, even if you take out the property of the stingy old grandfathers of the Presbyterian Church to cheat, it is not worth adding a bathroom to others!

Niederhogg has always had dividends from the company's operations, because of his personal interests. So he has been colonizing, human trafficking, doping smuggling, financial fraud, and the exploitation of workers...... and so on. And his breathtaking tactics did work, relying on bullets and whips to maximize the efficiency of the factory's operations, and at its peak, workers in the company's factories, whether men, women, children, or foreign slaves, worked at least 16 hours a day, with no overtime pay, no vacation, no sick leave. Risking your life to refresh your production and Nidhogg's bonuses. The workers who died of exhaustion and illness on the production line and those who dared to resist were all dragged to the crematorium at the back of the factory and burned without exception.

Darker than the factories are the mines, the railroad and the cotton plantations, where the stories are enough to silence the most crying child, saying that every meter of the pit sleeps a ghost, that every sleeper is buried a corpse, and that every cotton plant is filled with blood and tears. Not to mention the tragic stories of sending people to cut off rivers and causing crops to die in order to speculate on land, and the landlord's family was surrounded by thousands of demolition thugs and prevented from moving until they died of thirst and starvation.

Under such an efficient, modern pressure, Nidhogg's personal assets skyrocketed. Now he is the second richest man in the world after Li Lin, a big capitalist, and a big landowner. Not only did they leave the wealthy merchants of humans and orcs far behind, but even the dragons could only look at them. Fight with a little female dragon of the golden dragon clan to get rich, and there is no pressure to throw her three streets.

"Well, according to the old rule, the loser must obey the winner's demands, right?"

The smug face did not hide anything, and the words mixed with the smell of alcohol sticked, and Valrhona's body shook, and she trembled in humiliation.

Rules are rules, no matter how much you hate this little bastard of the black dragon, as a princess of the dragon clan, she is reserved and will not allow to violate the rules.

With her hands clenched into fists on her knees, Valrhona clenched her lip as she waited for Nidhogg's declaration.

"Uh-huh...... The face and figure are good, and the temperament is okay......"

After rubbing his chin and commenting on his head, Nidhogg slapped his palms and said happily:

"It's decided!Let's ask Miss Valrhona to make a cameo appearance and get together the necessary manpower for the show!" (To be continued......)
