949 is the time
The Cult of Fortune has a lot of money, but it also has a lot of expenses. Because the canal was built in a relatively short time, it did not even reach a tenth of its real capacity, so the receipts and taxes were not much.
And a large part of these taxes had to be paid to the lords of the various places through which the canal passed.
In addition, the Water God Sect also scored a lot.
Combined with the monthly gold sacrifices, the income of the Wealth God Cult can be said to be barely surplus.
It's a very healthy business model, but it's also very good to have money to send over. Moreover, such a transaction behavior itself will produce the power of faith, and the transaction amount or quantity of a single transaction will affect the amount of the power of faith.
So Beta is very interested in the needs of the metal dragons.
After thinking about it for a while, Beta said: "I have two kinds of magic equipment here that are specifically for the Zerg, although the cost is relatively high, and there are more gems that can be used. ”
Noah smiled proudly: "Gems are not a problem. ”
"The problem is that the equipment is for human use, and it's smaller." Beta thought for a moment and said, "If you're going to use it, you'll have to change some styles." But before that, I'll tell you what they do, and you can choose one. ”
"Can I only choose one?"
Beta nodded: "After all, we also have to leave some technical reserves, don't you say?" ”
Noah thought for a moment and said, "Then you can introduce it." ”
"The core function of both pieces of equipment is carapace piercing. as well as inflicting additional injuries on arthropods. Beta said: "But one set is supplemented by the detoxification function, and the other set is the one that can cast a magic enchantment for a certain period of time, the kind of double resistance to things and demons, the hardness depends on the user's spirit, and the resistance to dragon breath is also there." And the power of the dragon's breath of that human-faced spider, on average, should not be as great as yours. ”
Noah thought for a moment and said, "Of course not, but there are a lot of them. It's a troublesome thing. I think both pieces of equipment are useful, so why don't you sell us the blueprints together. ”
"That can't be." Beta smiled, "This time, we're only selling finished products. ”
Noah's face was unhappy: "Why not, we are allies." ”
"The dragons also have a lot of unique technologies, so will you sell all the blueprints to your allies as well? For example, the production technology of the dragon crystal nucleus? ”
Noah thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll take a step back." We only need a drawing of one kind of equipment. ”
"Sorry, only finished products."
"Don't really think about it?" Noah said lightly, "Don't you really think that the friendship of the metal dragon is important? ”
"We are indeed allies." Beta said seriously: "But allies don't share everything, a drawing, a steady stream of equipment, no competitors, you should also know how big the benefits can be." ”
"We can guarantee that we will never pass on the drawings."
Beta still shook her head.
If you are an ordinary human negotiator, you must be going to all kinds of bargaining at this time. But Noah is a dragon, and they're used to going straight to the point.
"Then I'll go back and report your opinion to the Senate." Noah paused and said, "In the next words, I don't mean to threaten you, but to advise from the position of a friend. ”
Friend...... Beta nodded slightly, "Please speak." ”
"The senators, they're used to being on top. They have not been to the human world and do not know the current situation. Noah looked at Beta's expression and said, "They already have an opinion about you before, whether it is the transformation of the golden dragon, or the gem as a reward, or even the appearance of the dragon slaying bed crossbow. They don't think very well of you. ”
Beta understood what Noah meant: "This will cause them to cut off our alliance?" ”
"It's possible!" Noah left this sentence and left.
These words came as a surprise to Beta, but when you think about it, it makes sense. The dragon clan is accustomed to arrogance, whether it is a five-colored dragon or a metal dragon, they essentially look down on humans.
The metal dragon just does things more in line with the mainstream concept.
And Beta, as a 'small force' of human beings, not only does not kneel and lick the dragon clan, but even earns a lot of 'money' from the dragon clan. The dragons have an obsession with shiny things, and their hearts ache when they are sent to outsiders.
And most importantly, Beta actually provided the dragon slaying crossbow blueprints to the entire human world, which made the metal dragon patriarch have a poor sense of Beta to the point where he almost sees him as an enemy.
And now that Beta is afraid to 'hand in' the drawings, Noah's instincts tell her that things should turn out the way she imagined.
After thinking for a while, Beta shook his head slightly, if it was the Wealth God Cult three or four years ago, maybe he really had to hand over the drawings in exchange for peace.
But now, Beta even dared to release a large teleportation magic array, and in his eyes, the metal dragon was not a powerful enemy, at most it was just a little troublesome.
What he really fears is the largest infighting in human history...... Holy war.
and the threat to the future of the Underground Demon Kingdom.
Noah turned back into a platinum dragon and flew back to Dragonscale Mountain in three days.
This place was not originally called the Dragonscale Mountains. However, after the platinum dragon returned from the Alternate Plane, it took over this tall mountain range and directly renamed it the Dragon Scale Mountain Range.
In the giant cave at the top of the peak, Noah relayed Beta's words to the dragons. Sure enough, the four primeval dragons were furious on the spot.
"It is unreasonable that a human being should dare to refuse our kindness."
"Break off your allies. We don't need them anymore. There are already thirty golden dragons, both male and female, and they are ready to reproduce. Another huge rusty steel dragon said lightly.
Noah's huge body, in front of this rusty steel dragon, was like a baby.
The other two dragons also responded to their decision with a dragon chant.
The primeval bronze dragon said to Noah, "You go to the Muddy City again and tell the little human pope that he has lost the friendship of the metal dragon." ”
Noah sighed and asked, "Then how do we deal with the human-faced spiders?" Although we will definitely have a chance of winning in a head-to-head duel, it will also cause heavy casualties to the younger generation of metal dragons. ”
"It doesn't matter." The primeval bronze dragon said, "I went to communicate with the astral realm and asked the father to send down divine power to bless me. Defeating the human-faced spider and the five-colored dragon is not a difficult task. ”
Noah wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
Out of the cave, she was about to set off again, but she didn't expect to be stopped by another rusty steel dragon, it was her old friend Regev.
"The Senate has decided to break off its alliance with the Cult of Fortune?"
Noah nodded, "yes." ”
"Something to be expected." Rejiv said helplessly: "The Senate has always had only the five-colored dragon in its eyes. They have not learned about human beings, and they do not want to understand human beings today. The last time I spoke, I was reprimanded and grounded in the mountains for being too human-leaning. ”
Noah also sighed: "They really think that the defeat of the five-colored dragon some time ago is due to our metal dragon. But in hindsight, we found out that it was humans who killed the most five-colored dragons. Although they also paid for a population of almost 200 million. ”
"200 million people, for humanity, is less than one-twentieth of the population, and it will soon be replenished." Regiff smiled contemptuously: "Ancient Legendary Dragon...... It's really too old. ”
Noah didn't answer.
Rygiff said, "After you stay in Wojin City, don't come back, how?" If the Patriarch can summon, you deliberately pretend you don't feel the magic message. ”
Noah looked at Rejiv with some confusion.
"Beta is a very strange human. He is very knowledgeable and very strong. I have studied his beginnings and found that he has a very complete knowledge system. The grade may be above all races. ”
Noah blinked, "I admit he's great, but it's too much of an exaggeration to say that his knowledge is systematic, and above all races." ”
"Not an exaggeration." Regchev turned back into a human: "Here's what I've gathered, what he's said in public." You can't see anything in one or two sentences, but if you look at them together, you will find clues. ”
Noah also turned back into a human and took the booklet: "I'll look at it when I have time." ”
"Remember, find a way to get Beta's friendship." Regiff said worriedly, "I have a feeling that our metal dragon may seek him one day. If the dragon can speak in front of him, things may be easier. ”
When Noah heard this, she immediately laughed: "How is this possible! ”
Although Noah also felt that the decision of the Senator to sever the alliance was inappropriate. But she didn't think the metal dragons would ever ask for Beta. After all, among all the creatures now, except for the gods, their combat power is the most high-end.
"I don't want that day either."
"You're too cranky." Noah shook her head, turned back into her dragon form, and flew up.
Three days later, when Beta learned about the metal dragon's decision, he didn't react much, just said a polite word.
"I also pity the decision of your senate. I'm a great loss for both of us. ”
Noah looked at Beta and said, "I intend to stay as an envoy. Please prepare a courtyard for me. In addition, I am allowed to fly in the air in the city, and rest assured that I will not do such an act in a crowded and crowded place. ”
"No problem." Beta nodded: "Even if we are not allies anymore, it is a normal diplomatic relationship." Rest assured, we will not be hostile to you metal dragons. ”
When Noah heard this, she felt uncomfortable.
This was supposed to be said by the dragon clan, but it turned out to be said by the relatively weak Wealth God Cult first.
Who cares about your 'absence of hostility'?
Noah wanted to retort a few sarcastic remarks, but somehow, she remembered Rejiv's words and gave up the act.
Then, after a few more days, Beta teleported to the outskirts of the Holy City of the Cult of Life.
