Gold is Justice

Hearing Napa mention it now, not only the Mermaid Song members behind, but even the four village chiefs who walked in the front of the blood clan now rushed over with their ears pricked up, wanting to listen to it behind.

"Why... Phew... Can't you understand this question?"

Ariel smiled slightly, originally she still wanted to make herself forget about that sad incident as much as possible.But the more you don't want to mention it, the more someone will bring it up, making her have to think of those golden existences that could have been her "best friends" again...

Cream nodded, and asked with a look of incomprehension: "In fact... President, I can't quite understand it. That's... the power of a dragon! To us humans, having the power of a dragon can be regarded as An adventure that is hard to come across in this lifetime!"

Ariel turned her head and saw such a large group of people gathered behind her, all of them were full of doubts.Now, even if she didn't want to explain much, it seemed that she had to explain.He could only sigh helplessly, shook his head, and said——

"The reason... There are actually four points."

"The first point is that I can't guarantee that what that guy is telling the truth."

Ariel smiled wryly, and said slowly——

"After eating Chi Fei's heart, I can become the next Chi Fei, and then get the memory of the previous Chi Fei in recent years. At the same time, both parties can survive, and the mutual induction between the two parties will be the same after 100 years. Become stronger, and then there will be a decisive battle... Hehe, all these things are said by that guy himself. Just relying on it to say a few words, it makes me eat that weird thing, why should I believe what it says? Is it true? What if there is something like magic lying to me, what should I do?"

"You know, I have no magic talent at all. Among all the people present, if anyone has the weakest resistance to magic power, it is undoubtedly me. That's why I wonder why that guy didn't To arrest others, but to arrest me, is why I became the next Chi Fei."

Suta at the back thought for a while and said, "But the president...that's a dragon. Didn't you say that the dragon language is magic power, so what you say in the dragon language can't be a lie?"

Ariel shrugged her shoulders, and said with a look of disdain: "The concept of not being able to lie in the Dragon language was also said by the red dragon himself. The Dragon language I know is only some recorded in the school. Besides, What language in the world can't be used to lie? If a language can point to ice and say it's hot, it can be used to lie. So, I don't trust the dragon, the first one I don't eat that thing reason."

"After that... if what that guy said is true, and I can really become a powerful dragon, I won't eat it either."

Such words stunned the members next to him.After the one-eyed translation, the blood village chiefs were also very confused.

The copper hand parted the crowd, stepped forward and asked: "(Blood clan language) why? If our creator is you, I think I can accept it. Why don't you accept such a power?"

After the cheese translation, Ariel smiled wryly.

How else can these vampires lose to humans?Fighting against humans, being defeated by humans, and staying in a barren place for 400 years, simply accumulating so-called strength to prepare for a counterattack, but not thinking about why humans can defeat them.

To be honest, if Ariel was more or less afraid of these blood races before, then the more she understood, the less afraid she was of them.

Of course, she wasn't afraid on the whole, but if she was to be alone in a room with an unknown vampire who had been hungry for ten days and a half months, then she should refuse.

"The dragon's power is indeed very powerful. However, being powerful also comes at a price."

Ariel exhaled slowly, and continued—

"Although on the surface, after I gain the power of the dragon, many things will become very simple. But this kind of power is only one aspect."

"To put it more simply, my individuality is indeed strong. But to match it, my social status, my economy, my political ideas, etc., etc., are not a single thing. And get stronger. Instead, get weaker."

Cheese tried hard to think about how to translate these words.Duck frowned and said, "President, what do you mean? You are powerful, don't you have this kind of thing at the same time?"

Ariel laughed, and waited until Cheese tried his best to translate the word "political idea" that might not exist in the blood race into a meaning that other blood races could understand, then continued: "Let's give an example. And our blue Among the small countries bordering the Gulf Empire, there is a small country called the Red Tide Empire. This country is a bandit country with internal chaos. It is an empire in name, but there are many factions inside, and they cannot control each other at all. Belonging to the role of a small follower of the Blue Bay Empire."

"But if one day, the emperor of the Red Tide Empire ate Chi Fei's heart and turned into a red dragon, do you think the Blue Bay Empire, the Hunter Empire, which is at war with the Blue Bay Empire, and several others related to the Red Tide Empire What will the neighboring countries do? Will they suddenly fear this country and bow down to their ministers?"

Dak lowered his head and thought for a while, finally nodded, and said: "We will form a joint army to crusade against the Red Tide Empire. In name... just say that the emperor of the Red Tide Empire has been eaten by this dragon, and now the Red Tide Empire The dragon wants to rule over humans, we want to help the people of the Red Tide Empire free from the dragon, each other's reasons are fine."

As expected of a guy who wants to be a scholar in the future, he still has basic political knowledge.

Ariel smiled and said: "That's exactly why. If I become a red dragon, then of course, the news that I am a red dragon will spread. But I don't have the influence to match it. This If the empire comes to kill me in the name of exterminating evil dragons, I'm afraid I won't be able to win all the time even if I'm a dragon. Besides, I'm fighting all day long, how can I make money?"

Suta couldn't help laughing: "President, you are still thinking about money~~~"

Ariel said confidently: "Of course! Even if you become a dragon, you still need money! How can you be a dragon and enjoy so many delicacies in the human world? I can't just go to a restaurant and eat Bawang's food all the time, right?" ? For any other economic activities, it is not enough to have power, but also to have the corresponding wealth. But once the news of me being a dragon is spread, I am afraid that the only thing that will be brought to me is the power of longevity If you take advantage of these two benefits, the speed of making money will probably be much slower. Don't forget, what I most want to achieve is—”

Speaking of this, Ariel suddenly realized that she had said too much, so she quickly stopped talking.She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with a smile: "In short, this is the reason why I don't want to accept becoming Chi Fei."

Finally, the vampires behind understood this and nodded their heads.The village chiefs glanced at each other, with a little regret on their faces.

"(Kindred) But... if you still want to be our creator..."

Simon sighed and muttered softly.

Although she couldn't understand, Ariel could more or less guess what he was thinking from the expression on that blood race.Ariel smiled, and continued: "The third point... This is my little selfishness. It's about the blood race."

As soon as the cheese translated the words, the blood village chiefs behind immediately raised their heads and looked at the human girl.

At this time, everyone had already walked in front of the portal, Ariel turned her head, looked at so many blood clan members behind her, smiled and said——

"I don't want to be Chi Fei, that's because I always believe that fate is not in the hands of others. The Night Clan has its own power, you have your own culture, your own traditions, and your own morality. You are all a group of people. Free ethnic groups, since they are free, you should not be anyone's slaves, nor should you call anyone your master."

"From the past to the present, even to the future, you will always be your own masters. You don't need to believe in a powerful existence, or follow the guidance of a certain dragon. Is it beneficial to you? Decide."

"You can control your own destiny, and create your own future. This is my hope for you."

Cheese carefully translated these words to his compatriots.These vampires looked at me and I looked at you, and for a while they couldn't even believe it.

……free?

What is this?

In other words, why can this human girl say "only rely on her own efforts, rather than relying on some other powerful existence"?

Rely on yourself...to decide your own destiny...

What the hell is this?

Looking at the bewildered eyes of these blood races, Ariel also knew that there might be no way to make them fully understand the meaning in a short time.But it doesn't matter, there is plenty of time next, so take your time.

"You just said there are four reasons?"



The first thousand and 160 chapter three return journey

While guiding the vampires through the portal, Napa suddenly asked——

"You just said three reasons, so what's the fourth reason?"

Seeing the crowd slowly pass through the portal, Ariel couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a soft laugh.

At this moment, Napa seemed a little anxious, and she quickly said: "What are you laughing at? This is a very serious matter! Your human brain circuit is too strange, and you still don't need power? So, the fourth What is the reason?"

Ariel gently rubbed the little white cat's face, turned around, stepped in towards the portal, and said with a smile——

"Hey, hey, I'm a girl. Don't you know that girls can't just eat food handed over by strangers?"

Before entering the portal, Napa asked in surprise, "That's it?"

Ariel nodded seriously: "Yes, that's all. Isn't there enough here?"

After all, she stepped into the portal.On the other side, I watched with a smile as those blood races passed through one by one, organized their teams, and prepared to return.

Yes...the reason, that's all.

In fact, if I really want to say... There are two reasons why Ariel will never eat this thing.

One is that the red dragon once said that after eating its heart, half of that golden mountain will be taken by one person.

But the problem is... Who wants to share half with you?

You are dying!After you die, those blood races don't need money, and all the gold belongs to you alone.Since I can occupy that golden mountain all by myself, why should I share half with you?

It's a pity that this wish ended in failure in the end... If you want to dig out the treasure in that mountain again, you will need a lot of manpower and financial resources.If they really wanted to take action, it was impossible for the large excavation team not to arouse the vigilance of the Red Moon Empire.At that time, once the news of the Red Dragon Treasure buried here spreads, God knows how much it will cost to deal with the Red Moon Empire.Besides, the Blue Bay Empire itself has to spend a lot of energy on this kind of communication between countries.What's more, the Red Moon Empire and the Blue Bay Empire do not border each other, so how much would it cost to transport the gold back?What do the countries on the way think?

Ugh, just thinking about it gives me a headache...

As for the last, most crucial reason...

Walking in the dark passage, Ariel silently glanced at the sleeping kitten in her arms.

She will not forget.

I will never forget the strong killing intent of this little cat when he mentioned that he wanted to hunt the Red Dragon Chifei...

If he really became Chi Fei, what kind of attitude would this vice president treat him with?

----

In Pelican City in the beginning of spring, it still feels a bit shady at night.

Thanks to the improvement of the economy and the fact that at night, the elemental lights in the entire Pelican City will be turned on, and the bright and majestic color makes the entire Pelican City appear like a dream.

On the street, people come and go.All kinds of small handicrafts and street vendors gather in the square of the old city, and the flow of people is overwhelming, giving people a faint feeling of a big city.

Vigorous, it is the current state.

Mermaid Song Guild.

After a busy day at work, the boss of the chamber of commerce who came to discuss business has finally gradually left the guild.Brad and Buffy went out and sent the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce to some hotels in the city.

At this time, Ke Ke, one of the members of the guild, happily ran down from the second floor, rushed to the counter, slapped a ledger in his hand on the counter, and laughed at Margaux who was compiling the daily work behind the counter.

"Look, look, look! Awesome! Am I amazing?!"

Margo frowned, seeing the crooked handwriting on her work log because of Ke Ke's shot just now.After a short pause, she put down the pen, with a smile on her face, picked up the account book that Ke Ke handed over, glanced at it, and said, "Oh, yes! Little girl, you are really good at this business? You made a lot of money. It’s simply more earned than the chairman.”

Hearing Margaux's praise, Ke Ke folded her arms, looked amazing, and said with a grin, "Isn't that right? I'm good now, right? Haha! I came up with this way of making money." What! I promise, even the elder sister of the president has never thought of using this method to make money! Hee hee, when the elder sister of the president comes back, I will let her praise me well!"

Margaux sneered, and said: "Look at you, even if you really came up with this method, it's only after President Ariel taught you so much economics knowledge that you can master it by yourself." It came out. You said it as if you, a silly girl like you, can figure it out by yourself." Coco didn't care, she took back the account book from Margaux, and sat on the high stool in front of the counter, dangling her legs , and said with a bored face: "Oh... When will the president sister come back... I want the president sister to know how good I am... Oh, I am so annoying! I will go to see the Changmian Mountains and say Maybe the elder sister will be back today!"

Margo was taken aback, and said, "It's already past midnight—"

But before he finished speaking, the necromancer ran out excitedly.

Thinking of how this girl has always missed the president so eagerly in recent days, Margaux could only sigh helplessly, give a wry smile, and continued to bury her head in writing the work diary in her hand.

About 10 minutes later, when the diary was finished, Margaux yawned slightly and packed up the pens and papers.At this moment, there was a soft sound outside the guild gate.Margo couldn't help laughing, and said, "Why? Decided to sleep well—"

It's a pity that she didn't finish her words again, so she swallowed them directly.

Because the one who pushed the door and came in was not the necromancer who only knew how to rampage, but a drunken... paladin who smelled of alcohol all over his body.

Paladin of the Holy See——George Peanutton.

The slovenly paladin was now in light clothing, not his knight armor.Obviously, these days in Pelican City are very peaceful, and these guys don't need to be fully armed all day long.

There is only one exception, that is, the knight sword on his waist is still carried with him, and he has not let it go.

Although the person who came in was not Coco, Margo calmed down quickly, with a smile on his face, and said, "Ah, Mr. Peanutun? Sorry, it's closed now. If you have any requests, please Come early tomorrow."

For Margaux's expulsion order, George looked disdainful.He walked unsteadily to the rest area, sat on the sofa, raised his feet unceremoniously and put them on the table.

hiccup~~~~~~

A big belch immediately filled the guild hall with a strong smell of alcohol.

Margot frowned slightly again, and turned to look at the guild gate.

Now Brad and Buffy have gone out to see off the guests, and they don't know when the big man will come back... In terms of strength, the priest himself is no match for the paladins. Brad is more convenient.
