Lord Chronicle

Chapter 226
As he entered, clusters of soft balls of light lit up one after another on the top of the dragon lair, illuminating the dark space for him.

Sol looked at it while walking, Pasqueira's dragon lair was a stone cave, barren of grass, dry and wide, similar to Elebena's.It's just that the rocks that make up the cave are dark and hard, giving the whole cave a sense of solidity and majesty.

After going a thousand meters deep, after turning a bend, a vast stone cave appeared in front of Sol.At the same time, he saw the dragon patriarch in the shape of a dragon for the second time.

The huge golden dragon lay lazily on the ground, and its huge body made the huge cave seem a little cramped.Like all the dwellings of giant dragons, countless gold and silver jewels and messy utensils are laid out in the cave, shining brightly under the ball of light.

Seeing Sol, the Golden Dragon didn't get up, but just raised his chin slightly: "Please sit down."

Sol couldn't help but look around, where should I sit?
It seemed that Pasqueira didn't care too much about such trivial matters. Sol hesitated, and simply held up a large pile of gems, and sat down on his buttocks after the pile was high enough.

To be honest, the bottom of the ass is cold, and the puffy feeling is not very good.But when he thought about the tens of millions of wealth under his ass, Sol understood why all the dragons like to lie on the golden mountain.

"Now tell me, what are you doing here?" At this moment, Pasqueira spoke.

As for how to talk about "employment", Sol had already considered it on the way to Long Island.

Hearing Pasquela's words, he said, "That's right, I have a little matter, and I hope to get help from the Dragon Clan."

Pasquela rolled his eyelids and looked at him: "Hehe, what kind of trivial matter requires you to come to Long Island again?"

"Uh... Actually, it's not too small, but for the Dragon Clan, it's just a matter of effort." Sol scratched his head and told Pasqueira his request.

After listening to him, Pasqueira was surprised: "There is such a thing?"

Sol nodded: "Yes, that's the magic that necromancers accidentally discovered, and it can carry out the largest long-distance teleportation so far. In this war of Dinar, Lulin used this thing to invade... "

Pasquela obviously has no interest in human wars, he interrupted: "You mean, his blueprint is in your hands, and you plan to rebuild the teleportation array?"

Saul responded casually: "Yeah, that's why I plan to..."

Suddenly, his words stopped, because Saul noticed that Pasquela was staring at him with a special look.

"Clan, patriarch?" Saul asked tremblingly, not knowing if he said something wrong.

The golden dragon narrowed his eyes slowly: "So, you already knew that the necromancer had this kind of blueprint. Then the last time you asked the dragon clan to help attack the Zegel Mountains, it was also because of it?"

With a buzzing in his heart, Sol felt like a mole thrown into the sun, with nowhere to hide.

This old dragon has such a strong insight. At this moment, Elebena's warning sounded in his mind before he left: it's best not to play tricks in front of the dragon clan.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and Thor stammered: "This, that, I didn't actually... Oh no, I mean, that's not the main reason why I asked the Dragon Clan for help..."

Pasqueira raised his head, then propped his chin with one of his front paws, and made a rather humane gesture: "Don't be nervous, kid, I've seen too much, human beings always like to play with very simple things. These are not clever little tricks. I just wonder, since you already have blueprints and can build a teleportation array by yourself, why do you need our help?"

In fact, Sol is also forced to do this.In the leather tube he snatched from Jestan, in addition to the blueprint of the teleportation array, there are also research results left by the necromancers, as well as detailed process records when the teleportation array was established in Lulin and Bahrain.

From there, Sol learned for the first time that the establishment of the teleportation array actually required such a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

According to the Necromancer's records, in order to establish the two teleportation formations connected to the Bahrain Territory, the Lulin Empire almost exhausted all the collections in the treasury before successfully sending tens of thousands of troops into the territory of Dinar.

Since then, although he has plundered a lot of wealth in Dinar, Lulin is no longer able to rebuild a new teleportation array.This is also the reason why the same thing never happened again during the war.

More importantly, Sol learned from the records that in addition to extremely astonishing energy, the teleportation array also requires an extremely large amount of magic power to drive.This involves controlling the operation of the teleportation array, as well as the problem of accurate positioning and sending the target to the designated location, especially the large-scale teleportation of tens of thousands of people, the requirements for magic power are stricter.

Therefore, the operation of a teleportation array requires the full control of two liches. Of course, it is meaningless to have only one, so a set of effective teleportation arrays requires four liches.

Sol, who has been in this world for a long time, of course knows what this means.Liches are the highest-level existence among necromancers. Their magic power is so strong that even ninth-level magicians can't match it.

Therefore, one can imagine the concept of a teleportation array that requires the full operation of four liches.

It can be said that the only thing that can replace the Lich is the Dragon Clan with powerful magic power.

In fact, Thor can also go to the Magician Guild for help, I believe they will also be very interested in the new space magic of the teleportation array.

However, based on the lessons learned by the Adventurer's Guild, Thor no longer trusts these large organizations, especially when it comes to this brand-new magic that can disrupt the balance of power between continents.

If the Magician Guild masters this technology, who knows if there will be a second invasion of Lulin in the future?So at least in the short term, Saul intends to keep it a secret for the time being.

Then the Dragon Clan, who has always remained neutral and does not like to intervene in human affairs, has become the best choice.

After hearing Saul's reasons above, Pasqueira couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Thor looked at him nervously, waiting for the golden dragon's answer.If the dragon clan refuses to help, Sol's plan can only run aground.Well, it is not known how long this war that has swept across Dinar will last.

Although in desperation, Sol can still seek help from the Wizards Guild, but he doesn't want to take the risk.This is like chasing wolves at the front door and tigers at the back door, who knows what the consequences will be.

Finally, under Saul's nervous gaze, Pasquela said, "I refuse."

"This...why?" Sol was surprised: "This can end the war as quickly as possible, and I don't know how many people will be saved."

Pasquela shook his head: "Don't forget, little friend, the Dragon Clan doesn't care about your human affairs."

Sol couldn't help but said, "But last time..."

Pasquela smiled slightly: "Last time, it was to repay you for solving the Kennylos ruins for us, so I didn't intend to blame you for playing in private. This time, the Dragon Clan doesn't owe you anything, and we have no obligation Help again."

"What if I'm willing to pay some price?" Sol took a breath and said slowly.

Sure enough, in the end, it still has to rely on interests to speak.

Pasquala frowned: "Don't you understand? We don't want to interfere..."

"I found Kajirido's treasure." Sol said indifferently.

"Varied…"

"I know that many dragons owe Elebena a lot, including you. In addition, I don't mind generously donating part of the treasure to support you." Thor continued.

Opening his mouth in astonishment for a while, Pasqueira suddenly put his head in front of Saul, the dragon's mouth split open and raised two lovely arcs: "Basically, I also think that things are not negotiable."

Staring blankly at the "crescent moon" on the dragon's face, Sol secretly exhaled. It seems that the pursuit of treasure is indeed a common problem of all dragons.

Miss Elebena, I misunderstood you, you are not alone...

Just when Sol was proud of successfully buying Pasqueira, he saw a sly look in the golden dragon's eyes: "My little friend, if you want me to agree, I think you should pay a little more."

"What is it? Just say it." Although he faintly felt that something was wrong, the desire to win over the dragon clan surpassed everything at this time, so Thor didn't think much about it.

"Afterwards, give us a copy of the blueprint of the teleportation array." Pasquela said cunningly.

"Shrimp!?" Sol stared at the seemingly loyal old dragon in front of him in astonishment.

Yuan, so this is the purpose of this old guy...

Suddenly, Sol fully understood, and it was obvious that Pasqueira's heart was moved when he heard about the existence of the teleportation array.It's no wonder that the Dragon Clan's favorite thing is to collect treasures and wealth, and one of the reasons why they are powerful is to rely on the continuous accumulation of various knowledge for thousands of years.

So how could he let go of the teleportation array, a good thing that opened up a new field of space magic?You must know that Pasqueira once said personally that the dragons have no advantage over humans in terms of space magic.

No wonder Pasquela didn't say anything behind the seemingly refusal just now.Obviously, he was waiting for the right time to make a request for the teleportation array.

Unexpectedly, Sol was so impatient that he offered to give away the treasures of Cakirido. How could Pasqueira not agree to such a good thing of buying one and getting one free.No wonder the old dragon smiled so happily.

Poor Saul thought he had the trick, but he made an own goal and fell into Pasqueira's scheme.

Ginger, as expected, is still old and spicy... Besides, it is this kind of old ginger that is about to become a fossil.

But even though he knew he was being fooled, Saul couldn't help but refuse.He nodded dejectedly: "I...I understand."

"Very well, then it's settled." Pasquale stretched out his front paws in front of Sol.

Sol hugged the nail at the front of the dragon's claw and shook it: "It's settled."

Then, Pasquela said solemnly: "But let me explain first, we will only help you drive the teleportation array, and will not do anything else, even if you are killed in front of us, we will not help you, understand ?"

Thor knew that this was the biggest concession of the Dragon Clan.He nodded and said, "I see."

Only then did Pasquale say with satisfaction: "Then, when you need us to do something, go to Elebena, and she will notify me."

"Erebena?" Saul was taken aback, what's the matter with her?
Pasqueira coughed a little embarrassedly: "Actually, just now Elebena has been using telepathy to listen to our negotiations. She said that she must participate, so..."

I, I knew, how could such a good fortune be missing the female dragon.

He glanced at Pasqueira resentfully: "So, you got a lot of kickbacks, right?"

The noble golden dragon immediately screamed at the sky-high price: "You misunderstood, the share I earned was already in her pocket before she got it. Of course, she did say that for this time, I owe her enough money." Forget the part..." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Sol actually felt his old face turn red at that moment.

"That's right." Pasqueira added: "I just discussed a figure with her. As the reward for this help, Elebena will ask you to collect it after returning. This is the first payment, and the balance will be sent to you." The blueprint, you can just give it to me afterwards."

Hearing that the two dragons had negotiated the price behind his back, Sol felt a bad breath rushing to his head.

Seeming to see Saul's dissatisfaction, Pasqueira hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's not much, it's just a little more than half of what you paid Elebena before."

Plop... Thor passed out completely.

This...doesn't this mean that only half of Kajirido's treasure is left...

Sure enough, none of these dragons are fuel-efficient lamps.

It didn't know how long it took for Sol to wake up slowly. At this time, he didn't even have the energy to blame Pasqueira.

Alas, consider yourself unlucky, who told me to be cheap and sent to my door to be slaughtered?
He thought about asking Gru about it, but he thought it would be better if he didn't listen to him.It's fine if this guy dies, otherwise, if he finds out that he is alive and well, I don't know how troublesome it is.

In this way, saying goodbye to the golden dragon who laughed so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, Thor left the dragon's lair in a daze, and returned to the place where Elebena sent her to land.

"Hey, where are people?" Sol looked around, but found that the top of the mountain was empty, and there was no shadow of Elebena.

Go to other dragons to press for debts?Or find a place to sleep?

Just as Sol couldn't help guessing, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Elebena has gone back."

Surprised, Thor turned his head quickly, only to realize that it was the red dragon Israel who spoke.

I don't know when he came behind him, Sol said in surprise: "Master Israel, you said that Miss Elebena is gone?"

Red Dragon nodded: "Yes, she flew back to the mainland."

"What?" Sol exclaimed in surprise, she actually left Lao Tzu on Long Island and ran away by herself?
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that I only asked Elebena to bring me, but didn't say that it should be a two-way trip.But after collecting so much treasure from me, this one-way ticket is too expensive, right?
Just when Sol was yelling at Elebena for being shameless, the red dragon, who was looking around, suddenly said in a voice that seemed inadvertent, but Sol could just hear it: "Ah, it's so boring, I really want to fly away Take a look at the mainland. Think about it carefully, in fact, it’s not bad to bring someone to fly with you.”

Of course Saul couldn't fail to notice.

So, he turned his head, and "just in time" met the expectant gaze "inadvertently" shot by the red dragon.

Thor:  …

Israel: ...

When the murderous aura in the red dragon's eyes became more and more intense, Sol only said with interest: "Uh...that's really a coincidence. May I ask Lord Israel, can you take me with you by the way?"

Israel "considered" for a while, and reluctantly said: "Well, anyway, I was just on a whim."

"Ahaha, thank you so much..."

Using magic to make Sol float by his side, Israel flapped his wings and was about to fly. Suddenly he lowered his head and said, "Speaking of which, should you give me some..."

Before he could finish speaking, Saul said weakly: "I understand, I will pay you."

As if feeling embarrassed, Israel snorted viciously: "Don't think too much, I'm just asking in passing. Besides, you'd better not expect such good things every day."

Thor: I should just pray that this doesn't happen to me every day...

"Speaking of which, you owe Elebena so much money, isn't it very hard?"

The red dragon that was about to take off heard that its feet were soft, and its wings drooped immediately.He gave Saul an indescribable look in return with resentment, and then he soared into the air.

midair...

"By the way, I heard Elebena say that you have a good opportunity to make money recently, you'd better not forget about me!"

"Of course, how dare I..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

"I swear on the life of the villain..."
