“Your Majesty, I only need treasures, no matter what they are. As for the reward, I have many wives in the Dragon Lair. I wonder if Your Majesty—” Odyssey said casually as he teased the dwarf girl beside him when he heard the Dwarf King’s question.
Without waiting for him to finish, a few dragons emitting Dragon King’s aura behind him immediately stepped forward with dark faces. “Lord Dragon King, can you be a little more serious? A deal with the dwarves could affect our future development in the Dragon Clan. If you’re careless, we can leave the Light Dragon Clan and join the other Dragon Kings.”
“Seriously, why is our Dragon King so frivolous? Can we still be ranked at the top in the subsequent assessments and gain the appreciation of the Dragon Emperor? I heard that the Elven Kingdom is now at war with the Holy Dragon Kingdom. The Forest Dragon King was originally an ally of the elf clan, but he helped the Dragon Emperor in the battle. I think he must have gained a lot of points in the Dragon Emperor’s heart.”
As a lower-ranked dragon, he was collectively crusading against Odyssey. Usually, Odyssey would be angry. However, he was submissive and repeatedly apologized. “Everyone, don’t get mad. I was just joking! I’m trying my best to fulfill my duties as a Dragon King. Didn’t you notice that I went out of my way to ask the dwarves for treasure? The dwarves’ manufacturing technology is second to none in all the kingdoms. As long as I can swindle some good things from them, the Dragon Emperor will look at me in a new light.”
“Swindle? Did he just say that?”
The dwarven ministers looked at each other in dismay and saw the furrowed lines on each other’s forehead.
The Light Dragon King was a clown. The Light Dragon clan was in the Dwarven Kingdom’s territory. Their cities were usually built in the sky and on high mountains, and the areas at the mountain base were where the dragons utilized. Both sides had always stayed out of each other’s way. However, after the Light Dragon King made a trip to the Holy Dragon Kingdom not too long ago, he suddenly showed an eagerness for treasure and took the initiative to contact the dwarves.
At first, they thought that the Light Dragon King had developed some strange collector’s habit, just like how he had married so many wives. However, after some investigation, they found that it was not the case, especially since the Light Dragon King’s words revealed much information.
The Light Dragon King’s purpose in collecting treasures was to offer them to the Dragon Emperor. When did the Dragon Clan have an emperor who could control the Dragon Kings? What kind of ruler must that emperor be?
“Lord Dragon King, we don’t like to joke. We mark our prices very clearly. Why don’t you tell us the specific price you can pay for the treasures?”
“Well, I can give you 10,000 gold coins for a platinum-tier treasure and 10,000 gold coins for a diamond-tier treasure. What do you think?”
“Are you joking?”
The Dwarf King frowned, his thick beard sticking up.
It was too much of a fantasy to want to buy a platinum-tier treasure for 10,000 gold coins. The Light Dragon King was obviously trying to make things difficult for him.
“I’ve already given you a fair price. You should know that the Light Dragon Clan doesn’t have that many gold coins.” Odyssey remarked casually.
The dragons behind him had ugly expressions on their faces. ‘And whose fault was that?’
If it were not for Odyssey’s wanton spending and that he liked to marry women of different races and had to hold a big wedding every time he married them, they would not be so poor then.
“Light Dragon King, the number of your gold coins in your lair has nothing to do with us. Your abject state does not justify offering me a low price.”
The Dwarf King’s tone became impatient. Initially, he had been delighted that the Light Dragon King took the initiative to cooperate with the dwarves. Even though the dwarves were powerful, they were not stronger than the dragons and did not possess any flying ability. If the dragons could cooperate with them to mine some raw materials, it would be much more convenient. However, looking at the situation before him, the Light Dragon King was clearly trying to trick him.
“Dwarf King, I just want some treasures. Why are you so nosy? I think the price is already very fair. Don’t ask for too much. If you don’t give it to me, don’t blame me if I have to use force.”
Odyssey’s expression also became impatient. He let go of the two dwarf girls in his arms and began to roll up his sleeves. A powerful aura that surpassed a Dragon King’s level emerged from his body, forming the shadow of a dragon the size of the sun. The sky islands could not bear the intense pressure, and it fell with a creaking sound. The bottom of the sky islands also cracked open, and rocks of different sizes fell.
“What power is that?”
All the dwarves held their breaths. They had the impulse to kneel under the power displayed by the Light Dragon King. Did he always have such powerful strength?
“Lord Dragon King, what are you doing? Did you forget the Dragon Emperor’s instructions that you need to use special means to collect treasures?”
Before the dwarves’ shock subsided, a dragon behind Odyssey reminded him. Odyssey was stunned at first, but then a hesitant look appeared on his face. “The Dwarven Kingdom is so far away from the Holy Dragon Kingdom. As long as no one tattles about it, even if we do anything, the Dragon Emperor won’t know about it, right?”
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the sun in the sky darkened. The black aura of death engulfed the sun, causing the world to sink into darkness. The skeletons in the ground for many years stood up one after another. They looked up at the sky and roared.
“That is a new kind of magical element. Did the Dragon Emperor create that?” Odyssey’s expression changed. He had just mentioned Watson when he saw the phenomenon that changed the structure of the world. It was too coincidental.
“Did the Dragon Emperor hear the Dragon King’s words and was dissatisfied with us, so he used that method to warn us?”
“Our lives are so bitter. How can we follow such a useless Dragon King? If we follow the other Dragon Kings, we don’t even have to worry about anything. Why don’t we jump ship?”
That discussion made Odyssey feel dejected, and he restrained his imposing manner. “I know; stop arguing. We clearly have such powerful strength, so why do we have to negotiate? The Dragon Emperor is too merciful. How about that, Dwarf King? I’m willing to spend 10,000 gold coins to buy platinum-tier weapons and 100,000 gold coins to buy diamond-tier weapons. Is that enough?”
“You must be joking. That is not a fair price.”
The Dwarf King stood up and waved his hand.
“Still unfair? You have such a big appetite.” Odyssey widened his eyes; the platinum-tier weapons developed by Watson in the Holy Dragon Kingdom only cost 10,000 gold coins each. The weapons developed by Watson were definitely better than those dwarves. Why should they pay more? They might as well not buy those platinum-tier weapons if they cost more than 10,000 gold coins.
“You misunderstand, Light Dragon King. I mean the price is too high. Let’s do 1,000 gold coins for a platinum-tier weapon and 10,000 gold coins for a diamond weapon! In return, you can tell me more about the Dragon Emperor. ”
The Dwarf King left his seat and came before the Light Dragon King. He stretched out his right hand and smiled, the corner of his mouth twitching.
After the Light Dragon King’s aura, he felt as if his life was threatened, especially when the world had turned dark and the smell of death was everywhere. It even affected the Dwarven Kingdom when they were so far away from the Holy Dragon Kingdom. The Dragon Emperor was obviously more powerful than the Light Dragon King. He should not provoke him.
“You are a sensible person, Your Majesty. Don’t worry. I will tell you more about the Dragon Emperor and guarantee that you will make a profit. We can discuss the price again. I think 1,000 gold coins is still too much to buy a platinum-tier weapon.”
Odyssey patted his chest. The Dwarf King’s face darkened. He said, “Thank you very much, Light Dragon King.” However, he cursed in his heart.. A thousand gold coins for a platinum-tier weapon meant that they would make a loss. ‘Why don’t you die?’
