After Joel returned to the palace, Raya compiled the recent events in detail and submitted it as a document.

Looking at the dense text, Joel was not in the mood to read at all.

"Raya, please give a brief summary." Joel said.

"Yes, a few days after Your Excellency disappeared, Lanfric returned to the city and brought news that he had signed an agreement with the evil dragon Liyan, ordering Fuztel to give up the compromise with Your Excellency and instead

Surrender to him."

"Wishful thinking..." Crassus commented.

Raya glanced at Crassus, and then said: "This angered the goblins, so Lanfric was arrested, and then Liaan attacked."

"Did you lose the fight?" Joel said.

Judging from Crassus's injuries, this should be the case.

Laya nodded, "Lord Crassus was defeated when he fought with him. The dragon Fafran blocked his follow-up attack, but he was also defeated by him. In the end, the evil dragon Leah was defeated at the expense of himself.

Stopped the offensive."

Joel suddenly realized that it is difficult to determine the winner in a dragon battle.

Most dragons have the characteristics of high defense, thick blood, and fast speed, which means that even if they cannot defeat their opponents, they can still have enough time to escape. The patience of dragons is always limited, and they will not spend too much money.

Time to chase the fleeing opponent, unless the opponent takes away your treasure.

Although I don’t understand why Favron sacrificed himself to protect Joel’s property, he still owed a dragon’s love.

"This is information about Liya'an." Raya pulled out a piece of paper from the organized file library, and then said: "The height measured with the magic prop measuring ruler, Liya'an is about twenty-five meters tall.

, the scales on the body can resist the attack of Dodoria No. 1."

"..Dodoria No. 1?"

"It's the goblin airship, Your Excellency." Crassus said, "In that attack, a total of thirty-five airships launched an attack together, but Liyan resisted it with its scales."

"Thick." Joel concluded.

This kind of defensive power is not much better than that of Igna who has not yet passed his mature stage.

After a pause, Joel discovered a problem.

Important recyclable captives were missing, and disappeared before he could pay for them.

"..Where is Antoine?" Joel asked.

Crassus pulled out a box from the side, and Laya introduced: "We have not forgotten Your Majesty's instructions, and we will only let him leave after he pays the ransom. This is the ransom left by Your Excellency Antoine. Yonce

The empire was also affected. In the chaos, Lord Antoine felt that he had to take responsibility for his people."

"Is the scope of the impact already so wide?" Joel asked.

"The evil dragon Liyan provides absolute military support, and the goblins provide a steady supply of soldiers. Unlike humans, everyone in the goblins, including children and the elderly, can become a warrior. When the goblins gather together

, their racial talents can be brought into play, stronger goblins will be born, and their fertility will even be improved."

Raya's eyes were filled with sadness, and her words were filled with sadness, "The capital of the Bana Kingdom has been used as a warm home for the evil dragon."

"..The holy weapon you talk about doesn't work either?" Joel asked.

"A sacred weapon in the eyes of humans may be just an ordinary weapon in the eyes of others..." A voice came from the door.

"Your Excellency, your return"

Fuztel hurriedly walked in, came to Joel, and bowed respectfully.

It can be seen...compared to before, his attitude towards Joel is more respectful than fearful.

The reason for this change may be the appearance of Liyaan.

Yoel's strength is definitely not inferior to that of Lian, and his resistance to "relics" is even more exaggerated than that of holy weapons.

"Joel.."

A voice with a hint of nostalgia and reliance came from behind Fuztel.

Joel couldn't help but raise his eyes. He felt both familiar and unfamiliar with the sound.

That was Elena's voice, but compared to the bold and naive tone in the past, there was a hint of timidity in her voice.

"Did you receive a bad education like Igna?" Joel said, and suddenly there was a look of vigilance on Joel's face, "Is it possible that you want to take advantage of my carelessness and sneak attack on my treasure?

"

"Sneak attack on treasure...?" Elena couldn't help but be confused by the question, "That should be theft."

"One idea." Joel said confidently.

Maybe this stupidity can make people around me feel relaxed.

Elena couldn't help but smile, and the fatigue on her body also faded a lot.

She felt tired not because of "receiving a bad education" as Joel said, but because... she had seen too many miserable scenes. Hiding under the strong city of E. Palenque, they were doing well.

But in the wild and suburban areas, they could only use fences and fences to stop the goblin villagers. They were powerless to stop them. They could only fight with their flesh and blood bodies, but the results of the fight were often cruel. She had seen too many

Such a scene.

"Joel...I want to help you."

"Do you want to borrow gold coins from me?" Joel asked. His face showed hesitation, but after struggling for a while, he said: "Interest will be calculated..."

"No, I want you to expel the goblins!" Elena said decisively.

Fuztel took over Elena's words and said, "King Bolton of the Kingdom of Scarlet, I ask you to conquer the Goblins."

"What do I get?" Joel asked bluntly.

"Each goblin can be provided with one gold coin. This is the price offered by King Bolton. Normal expeditions in the adventure house only cost dozens of copper coins. This is definitely a good price."

Joel nodded. He did not say anything. When Elena asked, he had already decided to agree.

"Do those goblins just count?" Joel asked.

"...No, I need to report your answer to King Bolton for the transaction to be completed. In times of crisis, the integrity of the nobles is trustworthy, but...they are absolutely unwilling to pay one more gold coin."

When he thought of the passing gold coins, Joel couldn't help but kick Igna.

"What to do?" Ignar was confused. He was breathing heavily and smelling the breath of "freedom" just now, but was interrupted by Joel's kick.

Well... this kick reminded him that he was not free.

The freedom here is based on the pet contract.

"..You are in the limelight, but you have lost tens of thousands of my gold coins. You can obviously keep the remaining goblins."

"But you ordered it to be resolved quickly." Igna looked aggrieved.

But he didn't dare to argue with Joel. The threat of sending him back to find Aunt Filicina was still there.

"..Go and call Tim and the others." Joel ordered.

"Not interested..." Igna said listlessly.

"Call Demi and Dodonic."
