That's a fake elf

"Wait a minute, since you have craftsmen on your ship who can make cannons, you must know how to repair and use them, right?"

Li Ang originally just wanted to get the parts back, but when he heard that Drake actually recruited a group of craftsmen from Fuso, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You want to use my people to help you repair these weapons and teach you how to use them?" Drake looked at Li Ang with a half-smile, his eyes slightly mocking:

"Why do you think I would agree? Just because you look like a woman?"

"Hey, Queen Drake, we have already signed an agreement and we will be a strategic alliance from now on. Can't you even meet this small request of an alliance?"

Li Ang's face darkened, he waved the scroll in his hand and said:

"Don't you call yourself a person who respects contracts?"

"The covenant states that we must help each other. If we encounter enemies who covet Longwu Island, we need to join hands to fight against them."

"Haha, even though the contract says so, the brothers still have to settle the score."

Drake put away his own contract and said with disdain:

"An alliance is an alliance, but that doesn't mean I will support you unconditionally. After all, these sea elves came for you from the beginning."

"If you are thinking of taking advantage of me, I advise you to give up the idea."

"I support those top craftsmen, which cost at least 10 gold coins every year, which is an astronomical sum."

"If you want to use them, you have to pay me!"

"..." Li Ang looked at Drake, who immediately changed his face after signing the contract, and couldn't help but be refreshed by the other party.

"Okay, then tell me how much it will cost me to repair these things and know how to use them!"

"That's right. According to the market price, a gold-level weapon costs about 2 gold. If it is a war weapon, the price will increase by 20%-50%."

Drake glanced at the parts on the ground, counted them and said:

"The maintenance and repair of weapons and equipment is generally 10% of the cost."

"You have a total of ten damaged units. The repair cost is 2 gold. If you add the material fee and technical consulting fee, I will give you a discount, so it will be 6 gold!"

"You are robbing this!" Upon hearing this amount, Li Ang suddenly became angry.

His Zishan Ridge has not been able to collect so much tax revenue in ten years. Even if he takes over Longwu Island, he can mine fine gold and mithril, but it will still require a huge investment of manpower and material resources upfront.

It is estimated that within a year, he will not even be able to get his money back. Now Drake is opening his mouth, obviously seeing his embarrassment.

"Hmph, my price is already very favorable. If you don't believe me, ask the guy next to you how much it would cost if this thing were handed over to an alchemist from the Mage Alliance for repair."

Drake sat carelessly on the intact [Yellow Dragon Cannon], with his legs crossed and a philistine smile on his face, just like a profiteer.

"......"

"Say!" Seeing Edward's hesitant expression, veins popped up on Li Ang's forehead.

"Probably around 8. In addition to maintenance fees, material fees, and technical consulting fees, we usually need to send top alchemists from the Mage Alliance, and we also charge carriage fees, lost work fees..."

As more than a dozen expenses were clearly reported, Li Ang's face became darker and darker, and Edward quickly changed the subject:

"But you have me now, and we have a contract. As long as you can ensure the safety of Perona and me, provide food, clothing, housing and transportation, and help me find some precious materials and samples from time to time, all miscellaneous expenses can be saved. "

"Edward, although our contract has expired, is it a bit too much for you to switch jobs to someone else in front of me?"

Drake knocked the [Huanglong Cannon] under his seat with the butt of his gun and said with a steady expression.

"You still have the nerve to propose a contract to me?"

As soon as he heard the word 'contract', Edward said with resentment on his face:

"When we made the contract, I agreed that I would serve you for ten years. After ten years, you would let me go, but you imprisoned me starting from the tenth year and forbade me to go to other places. Good reputation It says to ensure my safety."

"I have never seen such a shameless person as you."

"Who makes you unwilling to continue signing a contract with me? The people in the Mage Alliance have been unwilling to cooperate with me because of my identity. They let you run away. Where can I recruit another suitable alchemist?"

Derek shrugged, rolled his eyes, and downplayed the fact that she imprisoned Edward. He turned his gaze to Leon and said with a smile:

"How are you thinking about it? You have a war coming soon, so you don't have much time to think about it."

Li Ang touched his nose awkwardly and whispered: "I don't have that much money now, can I use other things as collateral?"

"Don't try to fool me with the Fountain of Life. I have plenty of it. Although it is precious, not many people can really afford it."

Drake saw what Leon was thinking at a glance and immediately took a shot of vaccination:

"If the goods cannot be circulated, they will not have much value. What I need is real gold and silver that can be circulated."

"..." Li Ang had a speechless expression on his face.

Everyone said that the [Fountain of Life] was a priceless treasure, but why did it come to him and Drake, and it was treated as if it were a piece of shit on the street, and was despised by others?

"Hey, then take a look, I have something here that you like, and estimate the price!"

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Seeing Li Ang squatting on the ground and starting to take out the rags from the system space, Drake finally couldn't help but jump off the cannon, walked up to Li Ang, and said seriously:

"You entrust a person to me, and I will directly waive all the messy fees for you. I will only charge you a material fee, which is 1 gold."

"You want me?" Upon hearing this, Edward held his arms and backed away like a little woman about to be violated by a robber.

"Stop being so sentimental!" Derek kicked Edward away, his face darkening.

"Who do you want? Let's agree first, it can't be Gao Lan, Perona and the others." Li Ang was a little nervous and stared at Drake intently, for fear that she would make some unsatisfactory demands.

Seeing Li Ang's vigilant expression, Derek frowned, a complex look flashed in his eyes and said:

"I want Helen captured by you."

"Exchange one mermaid for ten intact [Huanglong Cannons], and you will definitely not lose."

"Drake, I can't agree to your condition." Li Ang said with a frown.

"Why? When this war is over and you hand over the Holy Grail of the Sea, Helen will no longer be of any use to you."

Li Ang's refusal made Derek feel cold, and there was an imperceptible killing intent in his eyes:

"Do you want a woman? I can exchange ten beautiful women with you for her. Whether you want a human, an orc, or a monster, I can get it for you."

"Do I look like such a hungry person?" Li Ang was stunned and turned to Edward who was swallowing his saliva and asked.

"..." Edward wiped the corners of his mouth, nudged to Li Ang's side, and whispered:

"If you can't accept it, I can."

"Get out of here!" Li Ang kicked the LSP away, turned around and said to Drake:

"It's not that I won't release her, but that she swore allegiance to me not long ago. If she betrays her, she will die."

"You should know very well that the oaths sworn by advanced spellcasters like us have powerful spell effects."

"..." Derek opened his mouth and sighed helplessly:

"In that case, let me change the conditions!"

"You have to ensure that she will not be captured by the Mermaid Queen during her lifetime."

"Of course, she is mine now, and I am naturally obliged to protect her safety and prevent her from being liquidated by the mermaid clan." Li Ang nodded, feeling very happy in his heart.

At first, Helen was kept just to threaten Drake, but now it seems that Drake values ​​Helen far more than he imagined.

Drake took a deep look at Li Ang, put away the parts on the ground and the intact [Huanglong Cannon], and then frowned and asked:

"Speaking of when you plan to implement your plan, you must know that the longer the time is delayed, the higher the possibility of Vimona being exposed."

"Although Perseus is an idiot, Kratos beside him is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has an extremely keen sense of war."

"Since arriving near Longwu Island, he has sent several groups of sharks to guard the area. He must have sensed some dangerous aura."

"Don't worry about this. I have already found an actor. If there are no accidents, we should be able to delay it for three days." Li Ang raised his head and glanced in the direction of Dragon's Ding, with a smile on his face.

"As a collaborator, I have to remind you that the lich is not a good person."

Seeing Li Ang's complacent expression, Derek frowned, and a trace of gloom flashed in his golden pupils.

"It seems that Vimona has a good relationship with you. She even told you about Sandru's existence."

"But don't worry, I have this lich's handle and what he wants most in my hands."

Li Ang looked at Drake's bulging chest and couldn't help but said:

"Whether the [Huanglong Cannon] can be repaired, please give me an answer as soon as possible. This secret weapon is the key to whether I can carry out the beheading plan."

"Hmph, I'll give you the answer the day after tomorrow at the latest." Derek put the magic gun back into the gun bag on his thigh, turned around and left.

"Won't you stay for a meal?" Li Ang shouted.

"No, I'm afraid of being drugged by this pervert!" Derek glanced at Edward and disappeared into the forest.

"What a bad impression you have left on her!" Li Ang glanced at Edward and was surprised that this guy was so bold that he had drugged Drake.

"How can you blame me? That thing was originally prepared for me, but she drank it and was slept with by others." Edward spread his hands and said with an innocent expression.
