f4;9605;8bfb;7f51; "Boy, I know your story. You are much smarter than your ancestor Lorraine." A silver-haired old man smiled and patted Lorraine heavily on the shoulder.
Then he lit the cigar in his hand very skillfully, held it in his mouth and took a slow puff, exhaling a stream of light smoke with a rich aroma.
Master, master~!
Seeing the curls of smoke transforming into various patterns in the air, the prince couldn't help but admire him. Only a master who has been smoking for a long time can spit out such beautiful and vivid patterns.
This is not just smoking, it is art.
Although Sir Alex is at the forefront of fashion and a leader in cigar smoking, when he has nothing to do, he hides in the office drinking red wine and smoking cigars.
But the old man can only spit out a few circles at best. Although he can make a big circle and a small circle, or a three-ring circle to cover the moon, he can't do it with more circles.
How can someone like this old guy be able to draw patterns in the air with smoke so easily?
This made Sir Alex feel a little ashamed.
He couldn't help but take a careful look at the old man, and still remembered that this man's name was Morehouse Solas. Dragon names were very long and difficult to pronounce, so it took Lorraine a lot of effort to remember them.
But Vera didn't introduce him too much, so when he saw the contempt and disdain in the other person's eyes after blowing out the smoke ring, the prince could only smile politely at this moment.
On the contrary, several other old men nearby showed knowing smiles in unison. Another old man looked at Morehouse Solas jokingly and said jokingly: "It's time for Old More to show off his glorious deeds again.
Save it, we’ve been hearing it for six hundred years.”
Old Moore held a cigar in his hand, raised his head and snorted disdainfully, saying sarcastically: "You are nakedly jealous."
Then he hooked his finger at Lorraine, and the ordinary war soul stone hanging on Lorraine's chest was pulled out of Lorraine's clothes with a strong force, and flew towards the old dragon's hand while shaking.
.
Lorraine quickly untied it, and the War Soul Stone flew into the hands of Morehouse Solas with a "swish" sound.
He weighed it in his hands a few times and said in memory: "I gave this to Hal back then."
Lorraine was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, this heirloom of the Lorraine family, the mysterious stone that hides the powerful power of the Divine Blessing Knight, was sent by the old dragon in front of him.
"You're not giving it away~!" Goncalves looked at Old Moore with disdain and said, "Are you selling it?
I defrauded people of millions of cash. You still have the nerve to say so."
Morehouse Solas chuckled, raised his hand and threw the battle soul stone to Lorraine. He spread his hands and said: "I just said it casually at the time, who thought that boy was serious.
More than ten years later, I forgot about it, but I didn’t expect that he would actually come back.”
The elegant Ms. Gwendoline Lias glared at Old Moll with dissatisfaction and said: "You old immortal. You just became the richest man in the Dragon Clan just by virtue of this. Look, you are so proud."
Morehouse Solas scratched his neck and said dissatisfied: "This is the largest transaction made by an individual in the thousands of years of history of our clan, and it is enough to be recorded in the history books."
Vera blinked. She was very interested in the history of the Lorraine family and asked obediently: "Grandpa Moore, what happened back then?"
Morehouse Solas touched the sparse silver hair on his head, looked at Lorraine and said: "I remember it seemed to be summer, when I was not that old. One time I went ashore to buy things, and I saw a silly boy coming from the country.
, rode an old horse that was too fast to move, and took a rusty broken sword. He claimed to be a knight and imitated other heroes to save the beautiful, but the result..."
Old Moir slapped the table and laughed loudly, saying: "I was beaten violently, and the girl he kindly went to save also ran away.
I thought this young man was quite funny, so I drove away the person who hit him."
"Then that, then that?" Vera smiled happily, grabbed old Moll's arm with both hands and shook it, "Say it quickly, Grandpa Moll."
"Then that silly boy shamelessly insisted on becoming my disciple." Old Moore said with a recalling expression on his face: "He followed me for two whole days. I had no choice but to bring him back."
Lorraine smiled bitterly and felt a chill in her heart. No wonder Hal, Lorraine never mentioned how to get to Dragon Island. This experience was nothing but glorious.
It is a romance novel compiled by later generations, but it is said that he beats bullies and fights monsters, interspersed with the guidance of the goddess, the pursuit of mysterious people and other classic plots of knight novels.
Just like Tang Monk's search for scriptures, he went through a lot of hardships before finding Dragon Island. Of course, this acting novel was written under the instruction of the descendants of the Lorraine family and is regarded as the official reader of Hal Lorraine's story.
It turns out that this is not the case at all.
"I heard from Vigalis that Vera found a Hal, a descendant of Lorraine. We on Dragon Island were all shocked." Morehouse Solas looked at Lorraine carefully up and down with a pair of shining eyes.
, said: "Everyone is guessing whether you will be a great hero like your ancestors."
Goncalves stroked his silver beard on his chest and said teasingly: "Now it seems that you are a bigger kid than Harlequin and Lorraine.
One person is given ten pounds of gold as a gift, tsk tsk, what a big gesture~!"
Old Moore patted Vera's little hand and said with a smile: "Vera must have made a fortune from this kid, right? Tell me, how much have you earned this year? I know that the Flying Eagle Group belongs to this kid."
Vera said in surprise: "You know all this?"
Old Moore smiled proudly and said: "I not only know about the Flying Eagle Group, I also know about this guy's neighbor, nicknamed Pluto. People say that as long as Lord Lorraine is here, the sky will be three feet high and the earth will be five feet thin.
A good moneymaker."
Goncalves winked at Vera and said, "Vera, if you have money, you should make some contributions to your hometown.
You see, the meeting hall has never been renovated since you left, and we don’t even have a place to play cards.”
Vera glanced at Lorraine, then laughed dryly and said: "That's their nonsense, but actually there isn't much...
Didn’t I share it all with everyone?”
Ivitelias raised her hand, slapped the two old men on their foreheads twice, and cursed: "Old men are not good at repairing, they are cheating children out of their money, be careful of Enrellias coming to pull your beards.
"
The two old men smiled coquettishly. Goncalves touched the place where he was beaten and said, "It's not because we always suffer losses when doing business with humans. It's rare that we get an advantage."
Galaherela, who had been silent all this time, suddenly nodded and said with emotion: "Just a few days ago, I had a fist-sized piece of pure fire crystal, but the guy who bought it said it was a defective product, and for eighty gold, I thought
Buy it and think I’m a fool~!”
"Why don't you just change the place?"
Gallagherella, who looked like an honest person, spread his hands and said helplessly: "I changed to several stores in a row. I found that they seemed to have colluded and gave me the same price. I was really angry.
If I couldn't reveal my identity, I would have burned them all in one go."
Lorraine's heart moved and he said: "Seniors, or people in the entire Dragon Island, if you need to trade in the future, you can go to the Flying Eagle Group and just give Vera's name. They don't dare to do anything."
Several old dragons looked at Vera in surprise and said, "How powerful is this little girl now?"
Vera proudly puffed up her chest. She patted her bulging chest with her little hands and said proudly: "I am also a director of the Flying Eagle Group."
After he finished speaking, he added a special sentence and said solemnly: "But all the money was spent on stocks."
To dispel the ambitions of the old dragons.
"It's time to eat~!" Vergalis greeted and walked over with Queen Enrelias holding plates.
After drinking and eating, several old dragons picked their teeth in an inconspicuous manner and praised the entire Dragon Island, and Vergalis had the best craftsmanship.
Not long after lunch, more and more visitors came to the door. After receiving Vera's gifts, the residents of Dragon Island couldn't help but wonder: What good things happened to the stupid little girl from the Vergalis family after she went out for several years?
?
It seems that he suddenly became a successful person.
There were also a dozen children younger than Vera among the visitors.
Vera selflessly took out all her favorite snacks, instantly turning herself into an unprecedented hero in the eyes of these little dragons, shouting around her sister.
Vigalis looked at Vera with satisfaction, who was being pulled by the child and asked her to tell her adventure story. Then he looked at Lorraine and said: "I didn't expect you to achieve what you have today. At that time, I just wanted to let Vera
Take it out and go for a walk, you don’t have to sit on Dragon Island all the time.
However, you gave us a lot of surprises."
Lorraine was a little flattered to receive Vergalis's affirmation, and said modestly: "Actually, I was also pushed. Many things were not of my own free will."
"For example, if you have a conflict with the Holy See of Light, go to the Semitic tribe to steal the bride?" Vigalis said with a narrow smile.
Lorraine touched her nose awkwardly and said, "You know all this."
Vergalis nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice: "We are not indifferent to the human world. Elder Blanc sends a lot of newspapers every one or two days. I have to say, this is really a good thing.
Vera's mother and I occasionally travel around the mainland to relax. Of course, I'm not saying that what you did is wrong.
You did a good job, especially taking the War Fortress from the Undead."
"A thousand years ago, we had a headache with the war fortress," Old Moore leaned back comfortably on his chair and kept puffing away, "In the last war, we also tried to build it on the battlefield.
One came over, but it didn't work.
Due to some reasons, we cannot directly attack the Semitic people."
Lorraine said in surprise: "The High Priest of the Undead still has a way to make the Dragon Clan worry?"
Vergalis shook his head and said, "It's not him, it's the people behind him."
"The person behind the high priest?" Lorraine asked doubtfully. This was the second time he heard this statement. No one had ever mentioned this in history, not even the Vatican Vatican seemed to know about it.
Old Moore said: "The technology of War Fortress comes from the Demon Clan's Soul Gathering Tower, which is a very terrifying weapon.
Of course, the demons I am talking about are not the demons that humans in this world call them, but the real demons."
It's like two children fighting. The parents of both parties can only watch from the side, and at most they can give some pointers. If they try to take it personally, the other's parents will rush forward immediately, and the situation will escalate.
Vergalis helplessly spread his hands and said, "This is called politics."
Although he had already guessed in his mind, Lord Lorraine was still shocked when he heard Old Long say it himself. In some long stories that are regarded as epics by modern people, there were only a few words about the Demon King of the Abyss.
They are described as red-skinned goat-horned monsters with bat wings and cow legs. They feed on the souls of living creatures and travel thousands of miles across the land.
Lorraine suddenly remembered that, minus the bat wings, the image of the Demon King described in the epic was exactly the same as the Demon God enshrined in the Semitic Demon Temple.
The background of the High Priest of the Undead is indeed not simple.
But it’s normal to think about it. If he had a simple background, he wouldn’t have lived for more than two thousand years and would have been killed long ago. Not to mention the dragon clan, there were also several mages known as demigods more than a thousand years ago.
"We believe that the High Priest of the Undead, Kalimdor Beutlis, is a demon." Old Moore applied solemnly and said slowly: "Moreover, he once tried to steal the bones of our ancestors from the dragon tomb."
Lord Lorraine opened his mouth in surprise and said to himself: "Good boy. This old guy is so bold and dares to go to Dragon Island to dig up people's ancestral graves. The key is that the high priest of the undead is still alive and well."
"Of course he was beaten away by us. If he hadn't run so fast, he would have been killed by us two thousand years ago." Old Moore snorted coldly and said: "We don't care if he dominates the remote corner of the Semitic tribe.
Still want to get involved in the human continent?
Here, we are covering it~!"
Morehouse Solas suddenly exuded a strong aura of domination, looking like a gangster who was about to go shopping and compete for territory with others.
Sure enough, the Dragon Clan's territorial concept is just as strong, but they regard the entire human continent as their own territory.
Old Moore looked at Lorraine and said: "I know that humans are not optimistic about this war at the moment. We can provide you with some support, but it is very limited. It is limited to the war fortress against the undead.
We will not and cannot directly intervene in the war."
Lorraine pondered for a moment and said: "The war fortress of the undead is nothing to worry about. Over time, we have the means to restrain it. In fact, I have a better proposal."
Vigalis and Old Moore looked at Lorraine in surprise. There were not many people in this world who dared to sit down and negotiate terms with the Dragon Clan.
"Tell me about it." Old Moll was a little interested. He was more and more appreciative of the person he was called Lorraine now.
Lorraine said: "We don't need the Dragon Clan to participate in the battle. War is our own business, and I firmly believe that we can win the final victory.
I wonder if the Dragon Clan can use its own advantages to provide intelligence support to humans so that the war can be won faster."
"Intelligence support?" Old Moore asked in confusion.
"The dragons can fly higher and faster, and are difficult to be discovered by the undead. As long as you detect the movements of the undead army," Lorraine explained slowly.
Several old dragons looked at each other and nodded almost at the same time. This is very simple.
"Furthermore," Lorraine said with a smile, "We can use the method of employment. Even if the so-called demons know about it, you can say that it is a personal voluntary act."
"Hire? Interesting..." Old Moore touched his chin, looked at Lorraine as if he were a stranger, and said: "You are the boldest human being I have ever seen. Are you going to hire a dragon?"
For Vera's sake, okay.
How much can you pay?"
Lorraine scratched her head and said: "One month..."
"Three thousand~!" Vera walked up quickly, pressed Lorraine's shoulder with her little hand, and said loudly, then glanced at Lorraine, blinked smartly, and winked.
"Three thousand..." Old Moll lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "If it's just for investigation, this price is pretty good."
Sir Lorraine actually wanted to compare Vera's expenses when she was a scout. At that time Lorraine offered her a high salary of 10,000 yuan a month.
Unexpectedly, Vera was cut down to 30%. What made Sir Lorraine even more unexpected was that this old dragon actually agreed~!
For a moment, Lorraine felt unreal and couldn't help but giggle: hiring a dragon to work for a month only costs 3,000...
No one would believe it if I told you, this is the Dragon Clan~!
The dragon clan who can destroy the world with just a wave of his hand is like hiring a class of Zhongnanhai bodyguards for fifty yuan. It is simply too cheap~!
"You really have the talent to be a foreman." Lorraine secretly thought to herself, causing Vera to glare angrily and pinch Lorraine's back hard with her little hand.
Their discussion had long attracted the attention of the surrounding Dragon Clan people. After hearing about the salary of three thousand a month, many people were obviously moved.
After three months, it was ten thousand yuan, enough to cover a big bed, and she rolled on it. This is what Vera did when she first got rich.
These dragons looked at the elders of the dragon clan eagerly, wishing they could loudly agree on their behalf.
Several dragon clan elders looked at each other, and finally Old Moore nodded and said: "That's fine, if the children are willing to go, we have no objection, just let them see the world, Dragon Island is too isolated after all.
How many people do you need?”
If this cost three to five hundred, he wouldn't be able to support himself. After thinking for a moment, Lorraine said: "Thirty people are enough. Everyone can work for one day and rest for two days."
Hearing Lorraine's arrangement, Old Moll smiled with satisfaction and thought to himself: I am quite considerate of everyone.
Then he said: "According to what you said, this is still a very easy job."
"But I also have conditions," Lorraine hurriedly added: "It's best to go as an adult. Although everyone is not allowed to participate in the battle, in the event of an emergency, you must have the ability to protect yourself. The lichs of the undead tribe also need to be able to protect themselves."
Not vegetarian."
"Of course we understand this." Old Moore nodded and said, "We have fought against lichs many times."
Lorraine first breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up his spirits and said, "Now that we've finished talking about this, it's time for us to discuss more important things."
"More important things?" Vergalis and the dragon clan elders were surprised.
Lorraine looked serious, nodded heavily, and said sternly: "It's enough to fight this kind of war twice. I don't want my descendants to have to fight the High Priest of the Undead again in a thousand years.
He will always be a nightmare for mankind, this time, I will kill him~!"
Lorraine's words made the dragon clan elders look at him with admiration.
However, Vigalis seemed to already know what Lorraine was thinking. He pointed at Lorraine and smiled at the dragon clan elders and said: "Look, I have said before that this kid is not simple."
