Chapter: Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
“Fine! Roar! Fine, human, you win. I will compensate you with two hundred gold coins. A great dragon deigns not to bicker with you lowly humans over two hundred gold coins!”
Black smoke mixed with lightning spewed from Bryant’s massive nostrils. Although his words implied he didn’t care about two hundred gold coins, anyone could see his intense displeasure from his lightning-flashing eyes.
Nobody Does Human Things’ (M) eyeballs rolled as he decided to test this blue dragon’s bottom line.
“Since that’s the case, you will compensate me with two hundred gold coins now.”
This statement stunned Bryant.
But it was immediately followed by burning rage.
He had never met such a shameless human.
“Why!” he roared. “Aren’t these two hundred gold coins deducted from the reward?”
“Didn’t you say you didn’t care about two hundred gold coins?”
Nobody Does Human Things (M) shrugged nonchalantly.
He knew that the great dragon before him had already signed a master-servant contract with King of Winter (Xi Wei).
Therefore, he was not afraid that the great dragon would suddenly spew a mouthful of lightning dragon breath and kill him.
“But we humans are different. Two hundred gold coins are very important to us. Winter is coming soon, and I need to hire craftsmen to re-inspect this house. I’m sure you understand, as the weather gets colder, craftsmen’s fees will increase. If I get two hundred gold coins now, I can immediately hire craftsmen to renovate the house.”
Saying this, Nobody Does Human Things (M) paused. Like a shrewd merchant, he counted on his fingers. With each word he spoke, he bent a finger, and the blue dragon’s eyelids twitched.
“That’s about it. I estimate we’ll be out for half a month. Let’s calculate based on a 10% price increase in Winter City after half a month. You can not give me two hundred gold coins now, but when we settle the reward, I will deduct two hundred and twenty gold coins.”
“Impossible!” Bryant shook his head and refused.
He desperately wanted to slap this dilapidated tile house and the human inside into meat paste, or unleash a dragon’s breath to let them experience the temptation of being crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
However, he could not do that.
The contract bound his actions at all times.
So, he could only be helplessly enraged, shouting and cursing:
“This is robbery!”
“As a great, proud dragon who controls vast wealth, and an adult blue dragon… Tsk, do you really care about those extra twenty gold coins?” Nobody Does Human Things (M)’s eyes appropriately displayed intense contempt and disdain.
“I do, no, I don’t care, but…”
Bryant stammered for a long time, finally realized, and retorted angrily,
“This isn’t about twenty gold coins at all. You are humiliating an adult dragon.”
“Alright,” Nobody Does Human Things (M) shrugged.
“Then, we’ll see you at Winter Fort. I think Your Majesty Winter will be very happy to judge whether or not I have humiliated your dragon, and whether or not I should claim these twenty gold coins.”
“This…”
Upon hearing that he had to see King of Winter (Xi Wei),
Bryant deflated.
It felt like a trivial matter between ordinary soldiers being escalated to the lord.
Nothing should be known by King of Winter (Xi Wei).
Otherwise, the money he had saved from his work in the past few days would be lost entirely.
“Alright,” he compromised again.
His originally upright dragon’s back seemed to have become hunched for some reason.
What could have crushed the spine of a great dragon?!
“I will give you the gold coins now.”
Bryant took out a cloth bag from his Space Ring. Then, he took half of the money he had earned from his work over the past few days and threw it into the bag. It just happened to be two hundred and twenty glittering gold coins.
Nobody Does Human Things (M) reached out to take it, but after pulling for a long time, he couldn’t get it.
Looking up, he saw the huge blue dragon actually starting to cry.
“What are you doing?”
“I (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ*), I just have sand in my eyes…”
“What sand? Don’t dragons have a membrane over their eyes?”
“None of your business! (╯‵□′)╯”
…
…
In the airspace of Eagle Territory.
A group of Venom Dragons were flapping their wings at full speed, leaving trails of white air currents behind them.
“Guild Master, we’ll definitely be the first to arrive at Pine City, right!”
“Hmm… Maybe!”
The strong wind howled past his ears.
Call Me Arin (Male) tidied the messy hair on his forehead.
Venom Dragons were good in every way, except they lacked a windproof shield. It was rumored that Your Majesty Winter’s pink dragon, which could be ridden during the day and night, generated a constant temperature windproof shield when flying. This was truly enviable!
These dragons were rented by Call Me Arin (Male) at a great cost.
A total of 78 Tier 4 Magic Cores.
Most were bought offline from other players. Later, when they couldn’t buy any more, they bought players’ gold coins and used the gold coins to buy Magic Cores from King of Winter (Xi Wei). If they rented dragons directly from King of Winter (Xi Wei), the cost would be one-third more than trading directly with the dragons using Magic Cores.
On the entire Server, only Bai Yuekui might have similar financial resources, but that Bai Yuekui seemed to be delayed by something, and all members of the Scarlet Rose team had not dispatched.
This was good.
The fewer competitors, the easier it would be for him to be the first to activate the promotion mission. First come, first served. Who knew if the first player to complete the mission would receive a special reward?
“Croak croak!”
The Venom Dragon beneath him suddenly cried out in alarm. Following that, the other Venom Dragons in the group also began to croak. The orderly flying formation suddenly became chaotic.
“What’s going on? Why are the dragons out of control?”
The members of the Xuanye Guild were a bit stunned.
Those with bad luck had already been thrown off by the Venom Dragons.
“Roar—”
A dragon’s roar came from behind.
Hearing that roar, Call Me Arin (Male) shivered, his vigilance raised to the highest level. He turned his head and saw a colossal blue dragon rapidly approaching, reaching their position overhead in the blink of an eye.
The blue dragon carried Call Me Arin (Male)’s elite player team. Two players represented one riding a Venom Dragon, and one sitting on the blue dragon’s head. Their gazes met, and time seemed to slow down.
But this was just Call Me Arin (Male)’s illusion.
The blue dragon flapped its wings, like a thunderclap, roaring its way forward.
The Venom Dragons were blown about by the strong wind, even the strongest Venom Dragon beneath Call Me Arin (Male) trembled.
In a daze.
Call Me Arin (Male) suddenly thought of a saying.
No matter how fast an AE86 is, it can’t catch up to a Mercedes driven recklessly by a lunatic.
Even if he had 78 AE86s now…
“Damn, isn’t that blue dragon Bryant? How did Nobody Does Human Things (M) manage to hire this great dragon? That’s so cool!”
“But that’s too much! He didn’t even restrain his dragon might as he flew past us!”
“Exactly, Guild Master, when will we be able to show off like them?”
The players of the Xuanye Camp looked back at their Guild Master, only to find Call Me Arin (Male) looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, tears streaming down his face.
“Holy crap! Holy crap!” ¡°o(><;)))° "Disaster has struck! The Guild Master is emo!" "Do you still have videos of muscular men cuddling? Hurry and show them to the Guild Master..."
