Downton was a little moved. Smaug was not a human being and would not spend as much extravagantly as those tyrants. As a red dragon, it had all the characteristics of the dragon family, including collecting all shiny things, so the vault must be filled with mountains of money.
of wealth.
"That's absolutely impossible. Let alone killing him, he can't even drive him away. Six years ago, Smaug was already a legend, and now he might even be even more legendary. He can kill you all with just his mouth.
."
Oak really didn't save any face for Downton, and his words were cruel.
"Then you lit the cauldron just to disgust Smaug?"
Downton calmed down. Not to mention the legends, they couldn't even defeat the Generalissimo. If they did, they would die.
"Yes, at least it can give it a headache for hundreds of years!"
Having been imprisoned by the Dark Altar for more than six thousand years, it would be strange for the upright dwarves not to take revenge.
"What if the treasury is empty, or if we can't get there through the secret passage after lighting the furnace, won't we get nothing?" Downton must find an excuse to take advantage. He is not a person now, but a person.
The leader of the team should think about the interests of everyone.
"Even if the treasury is empty, as long as the melting pot is ignited and the will of Lonely Mountain is activated, the Firemen will receive huge benefits."
After all, Oak is the king, and he is not stupid at all. He knows that there is no benefit, and even a fool will not sacrifice his life.
"The Firemaker?" Downton frowned, "The one who ignited the melting pot, right?"
"Yes!" Oak threw out the temptation, "The melting pot, only every new king who is crowned is qualified to ignite it. Think about what a huge honor this is!"
"Sorry, I'm not a dwarf. This honor is of no use to me. How about something practical?" Downton rolled his eyes. We are not the Templars who advocate glory. We can be fooled by just using illusory titles and slogans.
Cheating to sell one's life.
"Aren't you a paladin? What about the eight virtues you believe in? Why are you so fussy about it?"
Oak was not happy.
"Don't talk about those useless things. Even if you are a three-year-old child, no one will play with you without a lollipop." Downton joked.
"I am already the spirit of the King of the Hill, and I don't have a single coin in my body. But I allow you to use all the wealth in the treasury."
Who says dwarves are all straight-headed? He is also good at drawing pie.
"That's the wealth of the Red Dragon King. Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Let's show it off. If I ignite the melting pot, how about you all being loyal to me?"
Downton threw out his long-planned idea. There are more than a hundred hill king spirits with dragon-slaying strength. What a terrifying combat force they are. After getting them, they can not only conquer Frankfort, but also conquer the north.
A world.
Of course, conquering a country does not mean having high-end combat power. Conventional armed forces, population, logistics, diplomacy and politics are all factors that need to be considered. But it is better than no hope.
"I, Emperor Polo, do you really dare to say that? The Holy Ring of Wrath of the Lonely Mountain is one of the inheritances of the Dwarf Kingdom. You actually want to take it for yourself."
Oak lost his composure and looked at Downton as if he were a fool.
"Then if I run into trouble, how about you help me fight?"
Downton had known for a long time that the other party would not agree, so it was just a matter of extra effort to repay the money. If he agreed easily, it would appear that his worth was too low.
"Three times, we can fight for you three times!"
Oak was quite reluctant. Although the King of the Hill was not a racist, he was the protective cornerstone of the dwarves. Fighting for a human was even more uncomfortable than killing them.
"Five times, this is my bottom line, otherwise we will break up."
Downton didn't dare to go too far. He had to get five battle commitments first. If he couldn't reach an agreement by then, the worst he could do was have Homer set up a dark magic circle to imprison these guys.
This is an epic magic outfit, and it represents extraordinary significance. Even if it cannot be used, Downton will still use it in exchange for huge benefits.
"make a deal!"
Oak actually didn't want to agree and was going to discuss it with Wood. After all, he was a powerful leader, but he suddenly found a powerful will coming and suppressing them.
"Huh, put your little thoughts away in front of me!"
The cheap god has taken action.
"Is this willpower a legendary one? No, it seems to be even more powerful!"
Oak couldn't help but ask. To be honest, if it weren't for this will deterrence, he would really destroy Downton's soul tree, turn him into an idiot, and then fly away to find other people to cooperate as an epic with independent consciousness.
Magic equipment, it has this ability.
This evaluation is very high, but the cheap god is not happy. The legend is nothing. I am a god. Well, I just died.
"Homer, prepare a short paragraph. I always feel that these dwarves are very unfriendly."
Downton was a little depressed. He originally thought he had gotten an epic jewelry, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a life-threatening time bomb. If the magic hadn't been quite effective, he would have just shelved it.
"Who do you think I am?"
Homer joked that there was no need to remind him of such things. Together with the God of Cheap, he could deal with these disobedient King of the Hill spirits.
"After the underground adventure is over, the Cheap God and I will spend some time turning them all into slaves. What Smaug can do, I can do ten thousand times better."
Homer hummed, it inherited the most splendid magical civilization of Netheril and was known as the ancient wisdom grimoire of the erudite.
Downton smiled happily at the thought of getting a group of Hill King slaves, but he quickly suppressed his excitement and hurriedly discussed with Sissy.
"Sissi, we have to withdraw!"
Not to mention that the princess has two super beasts, but she has high-end combat power. Even if she doesn't have it, Downton still has to stay with her as long as possible based on her status.
"Ah? Why? The fun has just begun!"
Sissi was puzzled.
"Our plan was to steal the treasury, but now it has turned into a confrontation. It is too dangerous and the harvest is not big. It is not worth it!"
Sissi is a princess, and if she leaves, Wood will definitely ask questions, so Downton dare not tell her the reason, otherwise this simple girl will not lie and will definitely expose her flaws.
"It won't be dangerous. Wood is here, and his Demon Bow Knights are very powerful. They can definitely defeat those dark races."
Sissi didn't want to leave. It was a rare occasion when she came out and encountered such a big scene. It would be a pity not to see the ending.
"Okay. If you stay, we will withdraw!"
Downton won't force it.
"Wait a minute, are you worried that Wood is too good and our team won't be able to share much of the spoils in the end? No, he is a nice guy and he won't treat everyone badly."
Sissi grabbed Downton.
"No, I just don't want to get involved in the melee."
Downton smiled bitterly. Wood was too strong. Even if the other adventure groups didn't serve as cannon fodder, they would have to put in more effort. This was unavoidable.
"Sissi, our team is not suitable for team battles."
Although Twilight didn't know why Downton made this decision, there must be some meaning to it, so she followed the suggestion.
"Okay, I'll go talk to Wood."
Sissi hesitated for a moment, but decided to go with Downton.
"Protect Sissi, if something happens to her, you will have to pay with your life for her!"
Wood followed him personally and warned Downton that if Sissi didn't have two super beasts to protect herself, and if she wasn't about to face a battle with the Red Dragon camp, he would definitely send someone to escort the princess.
"Don't worry about me anymore. You should hurry up and build the treasury. Only with this kind of record can you be qualified to challenge Heinrich and pursue Di Lanxue!"
Sissi teased.
"Um!"
Wood is very confident, whether he wins or not is another matter, but his momentum cannot be weak.
Downton and his party left, but Neuer did not send anyone to pursue them. After all, Wood was the enemy, and the vault was the focus of defense. Once they were eliminated, it would not be too late to kill the others.
"Have you noticed? Dupont and Mueller haven't shown up yet, are they dead?" Hutao looked around with a mysterious expression, "Or is there some conspiracy?"
"Probably not dead!"
Twilight's tone was very firm. Dupont and Muller were not ordinary people. They must have made unexpected discoveries and were stopped in their tracks.
If it were normal times, Palin would have started to speak to show his presence, but now he just lowered his head and moved forward silently. His confidence has been completely destroyed by Downton.
"Stop beating around the bush. I've made sure that no one is following you. What are you planning to do?"
Compared to others, Twilight's observation skills were extremely meticulous, and she was the first to discover that Downton was purposefully circling rather than leaving the Forge.
Downton briefly explained that for people like Twilight, one must be honest and honest. Only in this way can friendship be won. Besides, with Twilight's character, he would not kill someone to seize the treasure for an epic magical costume.
"You're so lucky!"
Twilight looked at Downton, shook her head and laughed.
"Hey, hey, I almost died!"
Downton rolled his eyes.
"What I know is that the reason why those strong people are successful is because when opportunities come, they can seize them and go through them."
Twilight nodded. In one's life, one will encounter countless adversities. If you survive, the sea and the sky will be brighter. Others only see the fame of Heinrich and Di Lanxue, but they don't know how much hardship they endured behind their backs.
On the verge of death.
Seeing Downton and Twilight talking and laughing, the atmosphere was quite harmonious and she couldn't get a word in, which made Sissy a little irritated.
No matter where I go, I am the center of the world, but I have been frustrated several times in Downton.
"Sissi, please forgive me for my white lie just now. We are not evacuating, but we are going to carry out a big operation!"
Downton shows his cards, he doesn't want the princess to look down on him.
"Yeah, I understand."
Sissi is innocent and not an ignorant fool. Downton and Wood are not familiar with each other, so why should he share the news about the secret passage?
"So we're going to do something big?"
Hu Tao's ears were very good. After hearing this, he floated over on a flying ray, got close to Downton, and asked in a serious manner.
"Um!"
With the former seventeenth king of Furnace Castle, Oak? Lonely Mountain, as a guide, Downton led the team, just like wandering in his own backyard. It went smoothly. After passing through several secret passages, the troll
Su Ya lifted up a piece of floor, and then a large furnace appeared in view. (To be continued...)
ps: Oh yeah, the heavyweight battle in this volume has begun, and Downton is about to have another great harvest!
