Red Dragon Emperor

Although no one dared to start a war, the destruction of the Northland Witch Council also had a serious negative impact. Many countries announced that they would cut off trade with the Kingdom of Fossey, which caused a severe winter for the already restricted business of the Kingdom of Fossey.

However, damage to business interests is a matter of money, and if the Northland Witch Council does not eliminate it, it will be a fatal risk.

Money and life, it’s not a difficult choice to make.

"I want them all!" On the throne in the Red Castle Hall, Jose said to the Prime Minister of the Kingdom below - You Gou.

Nigou's brows were filled with distress. During this period, the resistance from the southern countries made his head turn gray with worry. He felt like his scales were falling off with worry: "But, Your Majesty, the southern countries refused to purchase goods from the Kingdom of Fusai. If we do not reduce production capacity, our weapons can only be left to rust in warehouses, and our food will have no market and can only rot in the ground."

"As for the Red Nest Mistress, the demand for Red Nest is far less than that of the southern countries, and it is not enough to absorb our country's production capacity. After all, not all true dragons are as generous as you and equip all armies with sophisticated weapons and equipment."

Jose readily accepted the small compliment from his family members, because after all, Yougou was telling the truth.

In fact, ordinary real dragons pursue a three-no-thing strategy when it comes to low-level monsters: they don't care about food, weapons and equipment, or life and death. As long as it doesn't affect their rule, the bottom-level monsters can do whatever they want.

The most obvious example is the Red Nest Matron, who only purchases weapons and equipment for her elite army. Instead of purchasing them with money, she exchanges ores and other products for things.

"There is no demand in the southern countries, so we will create demand."

Jose lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Send my order and send a message to the Red Nest Matron. The Kingdom of Fossey has a large number of alchemical poisonous bombs. These bombs can help the Red Nest gain an advantage on the battlefield."

Yougou was stunned for a moment, and then he responded: "I understand, Your Majesty, you want to put pressure on the southern countries by providing Hongchao with high-magic alchemy products."

Jose nodded, then shook his head: "Not entirely right."

"Sell it to Red Nest Alchemy for highly toxic bombs, and then go to the southern countries to sell antidote potions. Also, the production of antidote potions is limited and the price is not cheap. Do you understand!"

Yougou took a breath, and then looked at the red dragon on the throne with admiration: The master is worthy of being the master.

After turning around and thinking about it, Yi Gou said worriedly: "But Your Majesty, if we... blackmail the southern countries like this, will we go too far and trigger a counterattack from the southern countries?"

"Don't worry, the Red Nest Mistress wants their lives, and I want their money. Their ruler knows very well how to choose."

After thinking for a while, Jose continued: "Yi Gou, as a decision-maker, you have to understand the king's current situation and the motives of his opponents."

"Why did Moulin create a three-legged situation?"

"Because he didn't want to engage in a lose-lose battle with the Red Nest Matron, thus giving others an advantage. However, the momentum of the Red Nest Matron's move south had to be stopped, so he adopted two methods. One was to organize the southern countries to form a coalition. In the Northern Expedition, we used the Qogor Mountains as the battlefield to block the Red Nest Matron, and the second reason was to choose the Kingdom of Fusai."

The red dragon then said: "Then the question is, why choose the Kingdom of Fusay?"

"Is it because the Kingdom of Fusai has a strong military? Or is it because the Kingdom of Fusai is rich in products?"

"neither,

It’s because I have the potential to replace the Red Nest Matron and become the leader of the five-color dragons in Tydanor. As long as the Kingdom of Forsey is still there, the Red Nest Matron will not be able to deal with the southern countries wholeheartedly, just like I am worried that the witch of the North is pulling her back. Just like the hind legs, the Red Nest Mistress is also worried that the Kingdom of Fusai will hinder the Red Nest. "

"Now, we are a thorn in Red Nest's side. Compared with the southern countries, Red Nest wants the destruction of the Kingdom of Fusai more."

"So, essentially, our interests and those of the southern countries are the same."

Looking at the thoughtful family members, Jose waited for a while, and then said: "The general direction is the same, but not completely the same. The southern countries do not want to see the Kingdom of Fusai become stronger and replace the Red Nest as theirs. Threat, as far as the south is concerned, the Kingdom of Fossey is best a tool to check and balance the Red Nest, a tool under their control."

"If my guess is correct, the southern countries are using the Northland Witch Council to suppress the products of the Kingdom of Fossey this time. The purpose is to weaken the Kingdom of Fossey, and then when we are in trouble, we will put forward conditions and let the Kingdom of Fossey be fulfilled. flat."

Yougou suddenly understood; "So your Majesty is attacking the southern countries by supporting the Red Nest Matron."

"That's right," Jose nodded.

"Judging from the current situation, Moulin's tripartite plan has been successful. Although wars of various sizes continue, a fundamental decisive battle will not break out. The situation has temporarily eased. We must seize this opportunity to develop ourselves."

Jose looked at Yougou: "How are the materials for building the magic tower prepared?"

"Your Majesty, 90% of the materials have been prepared. The basic materials are all available. However, the remaining 10% of the core materials are not produced by the Kingdom of Fusai and need to be purchased from the outside world."

"Construction of the Thorn City Magic Tower will begin as soon as possible. As for the missing core materials, I will find a way to make up for it. Make a list for me later."

"As commanded."

After Gou left, Jose stayed alone in the throne room and fell into deep thought.

The Triangular Plain is an important grain-producing area of ​​the Kingdom of Fossey, and it is also the main source of meat for the Kingdom. It also guards the capital of the Kingdom of Fossey, so its geographical location is very important.

As long as the City of Thorns is without the Magic Tower, Jose will not be able to rest at ease.

This matter cannot be delayed.

However, looking at the current situation, the southern countries will definitely not sell the core materials for the construction of the magic tower to the Kingdom of Fusai, and they will have to find a way from the outside world.

"It seems I have to go to the star realm."

Currently, there are three pillars in the north of Tedanor, and the situation is balanced. The high-level combat forces of all parties dare not move lightly. In addition, Jose has not yet entered the realm of demigods, and there is no limit of six places, which provides conditions for him to go out.

Of course, he would sneak away without alerting anyone.

Jose acted resolutely and immediately went to the star realm to purchase after getting the missing list.

It’s still the same place—Youhuo City.

The procurement process went smoothly, except that there was trouble with the core of the magic tower - the tower spirit.

After installing a floating tower spirit in the underground magic tower and feeling the power of the higher tower spirit, generally lower tower spirits can no longer enter the eyes of the red dragon, but the higher tower spirit is so precious.

"Lord True Dragon, most things in the entire multiverse can be sold with money, but some cannot. The high tower spirits are not for sale."

The legendary lich who received the red dragon said: "High Tower Spirit, Youhuo City does have goods, but they are not used to exchange money. You have two options now. One is to exchange things for things, and exchange the equivalent items we need for the High Tower. Spirit Core, the second is to lower the requirements and choose an economical tower spirit core that can be sold with money.”

Jose lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "How to measure the value of the core of the high tower spirit, and what can be exchanged for it?"

"It depends on what you have?" The lich's eyes burning with soul fire faced the red dragon.

Jose felt unhappy. He felt that the lich looked at him like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, but he was indeed asking for something.

It is said to be an exchange of equal value, but merchants pursue profits. You can know with your knees that the value of the items you pay is higher than the value of the tower spirit core to complete the transaction. Otherwise, where will the profit come from.

As for the profit, it depends on the Lich's conscience.

After some intense bargaining, the two parties failed to reach an agreement.

Not to mention conscience, there is not even a black heart in the Lich's empty chest.

"Farewell!"

With the idea of ​​shopping around, Jose left Youhuo City and planned to go to other cities.

But before heading to other cities, he decided to send back the materials he had purchased.

In the lobby of the Red Castle, Yi Gou took several dimensional bags that floated over.

"Except for the core of the tower spirit, all the materials needed to build the magic tower have been completed," Jose paused, then asked: "How is the construction progress of the magic tower in Thorn City?"

Yi Gou put the dimensional bag away: "The foundation has been laid on the reserved site. According to the construction plan, it will be completed in three months."

"Three months, emmmm..."

The tower spirit is only needed after the magic tower is built, which means that the red dragon needs to get the core of the tower spirit within three months: "I will think of a way first. If I still can't buy the high-level tower spirit after three months, Core, we can only sell a medium tower spirit core and make do with it."

"..."

After communicating with his family members for a period of time, Jose made an unexpected patrol, checked the existence of spies from external forces lurking in the Kingdom of Fusei, and then returned to the magic tower and teleported to the star realm.

He planned to go back after purchasing a suitable tower spirit core.

For the dragon clan, not showing up for three months is very normal and will not arouse suspicion from the outside world. After all, three months is the time it takes for the dragon to take a nap.

Besides, if something really happened, he could teleport back immediately.

Hanging Castle, Jinyang City, Beacon City...

In one month, Jose visited more than twenty star cities, but still could not purchase a satisfactory tower spirit core.

Like Ghost Fire City, the core of the Tower Spirit is a treasure that all major forces have at the bottom of the box. It cannot be purchased with money at all.

In more than twenty astral cities, most of the Red Dragon's requests to purchase the core of a high-level tower spirit were rejected: No sale!

As for those who are willing to buy or sell, either the lion opens its mouth, or there are additional conditions, such as signing a guardianship contract and so on.

Jose is not willing to sell himself for a Talling core.

After being rejected once again, Jose was quite depressed and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed while walking on the streets of the star city.

"We can't continue searching blindly like this..."

While he was angry, he was also reflecting and thinking of solutions.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to go to the Githyanki psychic warship, the Wanderer, to seek help and guidance from his allies.

The Githyanki are astral pirates, after all.

In the pirate business, what is most needed is not the strength of force, but the ability to collect information. If you don't identify your prey in advance, there will be little to gain from wandering around blindly.

"Higher Tower Spirit Core?"

After hearing the red dragon's problem, the ruler of the [Wanderer] - Queen Ygleth covered her mouth and chuckled: "José, don't forget, you took a floating tower spirit from me. Core, since its establishment, the Wanderer has robbed not only 1,000 but also 800 mages, and nothing else. The Tower Spirit Core is indispensable."

"Well, maybe you should get the tower spirit core you bought from the Star Boundary City from me."

Jose looked embarrassed. He realized that he had really hit a dead end. He didn't expect that robbing the mage tower was the Wanderer's specialty.

The embarrassment only lasted for a short while, and he returned to normal and felt happy: the problem at the core of the tower spirit was solved.

Queen Ygleth continued: "Although I have the core of the tower spirit, I can't give it to you for free."

"That's natural," Jose nodded.

Blood brothers, let's settle the score clearly, and the two sides are not blood brothers. For the sake of the health and stability of the alliance, it is not advisable to take the benefits of the alliance for nothing without any reason.

"Your Majesty the Queen, please tell me, what do I need to pay in exchange for the core of the tower spirit?"

This time it was Euglath's turn to be in trouble.

She had no shortage of ordinary coins and legendary equipment. The Red Dragon couldn't get the demigod equipment and other precious items she needed, so it was really difficult to make a decision.

After thinking for a while, she came up with an idea: "Well, I have an old enemy in the Abyss."

"This old enemy recently participated in a bloody battle and was not at home. We took this opportunity to ransack his home."

"No problem!" Jose agreed.

He doesn't have any psychological burden when robbing the devil.

Moreover, since Queen Euglath is confident of raiding her old enemy's house, it means that she can deal with the devil, and the risk for Jose to follow her will not be too high.

"Okay! Enjoy!"

Queen Yglais said: "The results of the plunder will be considered, and the core of the tower spirit will be deducted from it."

Jose nodded in agreement.

After a pause, Queen Ygleth continued: "No matter what the harvest is, as long as you can vent your anger this time and take away that bastard's hometown, I will give you a satisfactory tower spirit core."

"Then thank Her Majesty the Queen in advance, but having said that," Jose asked, "Who is your old enemy?"

"One of the lords of the 365th floor of the Bottomless Abyss, Lord Barlow the Fire Demon - Murphy Sac!"

"Murphisac?!" Jose's face suddenly became wonderful.

"how?"

Seeing the appearance of the red dragon, Queen Ygleth asked curiously: "Have you seen Murphysac?"

"No, but there is a little, emmm... little conflict between me and him."

Queen Yugelais was curious. After all, the strength of the red dragon didn't seem to be enough to provoke an enemy of Lord Barlow's level: "How did you fight against him?"

Jose thought of the lost Elf King, who was buried in the garden deep in Mirkwood: "He had a grudge against an elder who helped me, and I inherited this grudge."

"That's it," Queen Ygleth said without delving into it.

"Without further ado."

Queen Yughlais is also a master who doesn't want to wait for revenge: "We will set off now and go to the bottomless abyss. It will be difficult if we return after the bloody battle of Mephisac."
