That's a fake elf

In a long and narrow cave, a large number of dwarves were diligently digging into the stone wall with their pickaxes.

From time to time, you can see a piece of crystal ore falling to the ground, and being put into a basket made of vines by the dwarf overseer.

[You discovered the Silver Pine crystal vein, reserves: rich]

Looking at the purple crystals inlaid on the stone wall, Li Ang couldn't help but swallow.

Compared to the amount of magic crystals in this mine, the 20 units of magic crystals that Alice took away were just a drop in the bucket.

"A group of Pegasus stole some magic crystals from here before. I guess those things fell into your hands, right?"

The leader of the Golden Dragon clan picked up the magic crystal in a basket and looked at it. When he turned around, he saw Li Ang who was secretly reaching for the magic crystal, and his face suddenly darkened.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Ang's aura and divinity could not be faked, proving that he was a pure-blooded high elf favored by Asha, Willis would have sprayed him with dragon breath.

"Ah hahaha, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand it at all?" Li Ang put down the crystal in his hand awkwardly, wiped the dust from his hands, and said with embarrassment on his face.

"You smell like them, so there's no need to quibble in front of me. I won't be angry with you just because you took them in. That's not my style."

Seeing the other party pretending to be dumbfounded, Willis squeezed Li Ang's shoulders with a smile, and unknowingly used the power of the dragon.

"You are really a rich man. I apologize to you on behalf of Alice and her family!"

Hearing the creaking of the bones in his shoulders, Li Ang looked ferocious, immediately raised his hands in surrender, and endured everything alone.

"Don't flatter me, I won't go to war for just a few dozen units of magic crystals."

"I will kill the leader of the Pegasus tribe, just to give them a warning so that they will not dare to steal again."

Willis patted Leon on the shoulder and watched him use [Touch of Nature] to treat bone fragments, with a pleasant smile on his face.

"Don't worry, they won't come here to steal again, I can guarantee that." Li Ang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a forced smile.

"They won't, but some people won't. I know what you plan to do here."

"It's nothing more than imitating those Pegasus and seeing if you can take some magic crystals from me."

"But do you know why I didn't hide it, but took the initiative to bring you here to visit?"

Willis crossed his arms and looked at Li Ang seriously, without any smile in his eyes.

When the dwarves who were working heard Willis's words, they all looked at him as if they were a fool.

As if laughing at his ignorance of life and death.

"Ah ha ha ha ha!" Li Ang touched his nose awkwardly, suddenly not knowing how to answer the question.

This golden dragon, who has lived for who knows how long, is indeed an old fox with different appearances and duplicities. Don't be too sneaky when it comes to knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

"More than 100 years ago, an unprecedented border war took place between Fanasil and the Sasha Empire. As a border trade city between the two countries, Jungle Castle became one of the main battlefields."

"The war was extremely fierce. Almost two-thirds of Fanasir's jungle warriors died, and the organization almost collapsed."

"Without the jungle warriors guarding the national border, the once prosperous and powerful Jungle City soon turned into a jungle ruin, and the demihumans living under the protection of Jungle City were also displaced."

"At that time, Duke Fanasil was in urgent need of strong foreign aid to deter the Sasha Empire, so he begged the high elves of the Mist Mountains to take action."

"But the high elves enjoy an immortal life in the Mist Mountains. How can they participate in such a war where they can lose their lives at any time?"

"However, the high elves, who have enjoyed peace for thousands of years, are also worried about invaders reaching the Mist Mountains, so they leave this burden to the forest dragon clan."

"The Forest Dragon Clan helped Fanasil expel the imperial invaders and arranged for me to be stationed here. This is how the Jinli Clan of the Jungle Dragon Cliff was born."

"According to our agreement with the high elves, all resources within two hundred kilometers of the original Jungle City now belong to the Jinli clan. Not even Duke Fanasil can take them by force."

"So if you want to exploit this mine, I advise you to give up as soon as possible, because you can't bear the pressure from the dense forest Longya, the high elves, and the Saxia Empire."

Pointing to the crystal on the ground, the Golden Dragon Clan leader showed a sneer on his face.

At that time, the Sasha Empire fought for this crystal vein that could be mined for thousands of years, and a war broke out with Fanasier. It was their forest dragon clan that finally repelled the Sasha Empire's invaders.

The current dense forest dragon cliff is built at the highest point of the Silver Pine Mountains. You can always overlook the ruins of the dense forest of Fanasier and the Silver Pine Fortress built by the Sasha Empire for the war.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of the dense forest Longya that the Shaxia Empire army in Silver Pine Fortress has not dared to make a large-scale invasion in the past hundred years.

After all, in the eyes of the Dragon Clan, which has control of the air, anyone who dares to invade over the mountains is simply asking for their own destruction.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I don't want to come here anymore. Can you let me and my companions go?" Li Ang raised his hands high and smiled helplessly.

"Hmph, I won't punish you just because you told lies. Of course there are other important things to bring you here. Come with me."

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Following the Yinsong mine vein to 200 meters underground, a huge underground world appeared in front of Li Ang, leaving him stunned.

Not far from his entrance, a castle not far behind his own Cedar Forest Castle stood on top of a volcano crater.

This castle actually uses magma as its moat and granite and obsidian as its walls.

Under the light emitted by the magic crystal at the top of the cave, the city was rendered dreamlike.

Under the crater, from the large and small blacksmith shops and houses, there was the sound of clanking and the scolding of the master blacksmith.

The endless dwarves and fire monsters on the street were not afraid at all after seeing the two of them, but instead showed curious eyes.

Glancing at the stunned Leon, a smile appeared in Willis's eyes.

At this moment, the gate of the volcano castle opened, and a dwarf cavalry riding a white bear rushed down.

When the surrounding dwarves and fire monsters saw this, they immediately made way for them, with a look of reverence on their faces.

"Master Willis, why are you here? If you want to find me, just ask a dwarf to notify me."

A tall, fleshy little giant with red hair jumped off a small mountain-like war bear and greeted the two with a smile on his face.

"I just brought this little guy over to have a look. This is the Lord of Ironforge, Fire Lord Batman * Hammer, a dwarf who believes in the god of fire and forging [Bolt]."

"Since their clan was destroyed by the Sasha Empire a hundred years ago, I reopened this underground space for them. They are now responsible for mining magic crystals for me."

Pointing at the red-bearded dwarf, the Golden Dragon Clan leader showed a smile.

"You told me he was a dwarf?" Looking at Batman, who was three meters tall, clad in body parts and comparable in size to a troll, the corners of Leon's mouth twitched.

"Who is this?" The Fire Lord asked in shock as he glanced at the slender and incredibly beautiful silver-haired elf.

"Our new neighbor, the current lord of Yew Ridge, the previous idiot was killed by his own subjects." With a sarcastic smile on his face, the Golden Dragon Clan leader's tone was full of contempt.

"It turns out you are the new Lord of Yew Ridge. Since Lord Willis introduced you, we will be friends from now on."

"Dwarves are never stingy with their friends. If you need to build weapons and armor for yourself in the future, just tell me directly to Batman and I will give you a [-]% discount!"

"If you can get good wine and precious fine gold and mithril, I guarantee that you will get the best high-quality equipment in the entire continent here."

The Fire Lord patted his chest, stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, and laughed boldly.

"Lord Willis, you brought me here not just to meet the Fire Lord." After shaking hands with the Fire Lord, Li Ang asked the Golden Dragon Clan leader curiously.

"Batman, show this little guy to my reserves."

"no problem."

. . . . . . . . . . . .

[You discovered the Golden Dragon Treasure House, reserves: rare]

In a treasure house made entirely of cold iron, Li Ang saw mountains of gold nuggets and magic crystals.

From a visual inspection, the number of gold nuggets definitely exceeds 1 yuan, and the number of magic crystals definitely exceeds 5000 units.

You know, one of these gold nuggets is equivalent to 100 gold coins!

Looking at the magic crystals that could fill a swimming pool, Li Ang swallowed, closed his mouth with difficulty, and resisted the urge to rob from the dragon and the fire lord.

"How about it, aren't you surprised? This is the wealth Mr. Willis has accumulated over more than 100 years by opening up one-tenth of the underground world in the Silver Pine Mountains."

Patting Li Ang on the shoulder, the Fire Lord laughed.

"It's incredible." Li Ang cautiously glanced at the Golden Dragon Clan Leader leaning on the warehouse door, and was amazed.

Although Li Ang had long heard that golden dragons had the innate ability to convert the metals and minerals they eat into gold, he did not expect that just one golden dragon could accumulate 100 million units of gold within 100 years.

You must know that in the past, when Zishan Ridge was in its best days, the annual tax was only one or two thousand gold.

"Don't talk too much. I brought you here not to prove how rich I am, but to do a business with you."

Pulling away the Flame Lord who was still chattering, the Golden Dragon Clan Leader's face looked a little gloomy.

These gold nuggets are a piece of black history for him. Who knows how much earth and metal he ate in order to help this guy Batman open up this underground world? It makes him sick even now when he thinks about it.

"You say, I listen."

Looking at the mountains of gold and magic crystals, Li Ang blushed, like a girl in love with spring. Everyone likes money, and even though he is an elf, he is no exception.

"I know that Yew Ridge has recently received the highest level of divine blessing from the goddess Asha. I believe that in the next year, there will be an explosive growth of miraculous creatures and various wild animals."

"My purpose is simple. I need meat. A lot of meat. Whether it's the meat of ordinary beasts or the meat of miraculous creatures, I don't mind."

"If you can provide it, I can exchange all the gold and magic crystals with you. How about that?"

As the leader of the Jinli clan, Willis has always been worried about the development of the dragon group. This is his responsibility and obligation.

"That's no problem, but can I ask?" He touched the gold on the ground with his fingers, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. Li Ang's expression became a little strange.

"Say it," Willis said pleasantly.

"You have to promise not to beat me up first!" Li Ang said weakly.

"I'm not going to touch you just because you asked a question, say!" Looking at Li Ang's submissive look, Willis frowned.

"I just want to ask, can the golden dragon really pull out the golden dragon?" Li Ang took a deep breath and showed an expression that looked at death.

"Fart, whoever spread the rumor, I'm going to kill him!" Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Willis suddenly became furious.
