248. Rumors
After Joel completed the pattern, the entire E. Palenque was shrouded in strong magic.
Mages are the group with the fastest communication in this world. The magic props they control have the means of long-distance communication, and "good news" like this has already been conveyed through messaging between mages. E.P.
Lenk has restored its former prosperity, and is even better. In Duke Tobias Ridge, many wealthy families in the city are also willing to move to E. Palenque. Such an environment can improve the chances of becoming a magician.
For them, this is the biggest attraction.
But behind the prosperity there is a rumor.
In the commercial street of E. Palenque, the bard was talking about this matter to the surrounding people.
"What I am going to tell you below is a true story. This story happened in the city of E. Palenque, about an evil dragon..."
The bard spoke in an emotional voice, with a deep feeling that made people shudder.
"Are you talking about the lord?" someone asked.
"Of course it is not the lord who brought prosperity to E. Palenque, but also built such a holy land for mages. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is great. The dragon I want to talk about has nothing to do with greatness. From this evil
Words are enough to express it." The bard talked eloquently.
When people around me heard it, they became even more interested.
"On a very dark night, there is an extremely evil dragon. He walks through the streets, looking for prey, and the targets he targets are young women who have given birth."
"Were they eaten?" the onlookers asked in fear.
"..No, they are required to provide...milk." The bard said solemnly.
In the palace, there was a discussion about this rumor.
"I knew... nothing good would happen." Elena sighed.
"To a certain extent, Igna is quite bold." Laya commented.
"Igna, you're not bad." Joel patted Igna on the shoulder.
Igna felt a little aggrieved, "Obviously...it was something Joel ordered me to do, so why did it become my problem?"
"Joel's instructions are normal...but what you did is abnormal." Elena gave the answer.
"I just stopped those women at night, showed my teeth and smiled to show my kindness, and told them my purpose."
"You showing your teeth...are not showing kindness..."
No one would think that a vicious beast with bared teeth is a good intention.
"Damn... Demi didn't want to talk to me anymore after hearing this rumor recently..." Igna felt even more wronged, with tears in her eyes.
Little Belle, who was playing in the courtyard, walked into the palace and noticed Igna's expression. She asked curiously: "What's wrong with Igna? Why is he crying...Has he been taught a lesson by Joel again?"
"
"...I didn't beat him. You don't understand. These are the tears of growing up." Joel said.
"Yes, the journey of love is not smooth sailing." Igna comforted himself.
Little Bailey understood instantly, "Is it sister Demi? You two are having conflicts again."
"Conflict between lovers." Igna nodded.
"This is what he thinks." Elena felt a little pitiful, but she still exposed the truth.
While everyone was discussing, Crassus walked into the palace.
"Raya, take little Bailey to play in the courtyard."
Raya nodded.
Joel has a reason for doing this.
The Silver Dragon protects the young dragons in all aspects, just like its dragon mother did in the past. Maybe they will let the young dragons know the preciousness of gold coins, but they will not let them know the source of the gold coins prematurely.
Cruel. Exposure to the evil side too early will have an impact on the growth of young dragons, and Joel adheres to this approach.
"Your Excellency Yoel, what you ordered has been largely completed. The Goblins in the Kingdom of Scarlet have been cleared away." Crassus said respectfully.
"Then, it's up to you to distribute the rewards." Joel nodded and said, "By the way, include yourself, so you don't have to distribute the first place reward."
"You're even harsh on bath water..." Elena was stunned, "But doesn't that thing have any effect on Crassus?"
What Joel said is "no need", which means that Crassus does not need to use "bath water" to improve his strength.
"That water is effective because it is contaminated with my blood and breath. Crassus doesn't need this. He signed a family contract with me, and he will naturally absorb the breath when he stays next to me." Yoel said.
"It is my honor to stay next to Lord Joel." Crassus knelt down on one knee, expressing his respect and loyalty.
"Now that the goblins have been cleared away, it's time to ask for gold coins from King Bolton." Joel's pupils narrowed slightly, "More importantly, the secret treasure of the kingdom..."
Because of Manrac's incident, Joel had not yet learned about the secret treasure from Hughes Bolton, but Foztel asked for the information on his behalf.
Through magical means, the authenticity of this information can be confirmed.
"So who should I bring with me to meet King Bolton?" Elena thought seriously, "First of all, brother Foztel must be brought with him. However, matters like meeting the King must be dealt with seriously.
.”
"Well... take it seriously."
Joel seemed to only hear this, and he ordered:
"Crasus, take all the dragons! And the orcs, let's go find King Bolton!"
"...Did you misunderstand the meaning?" Elena couldn't help but ask.
"Wrong understanding? If we don't deal with it seriously, then of course we are robbing him." Joel said seriously.
Elena could only be thankful for this. Fortunately, Bailey was not here, otherwise correction would have been a troublesome matter.
"These are unnecessary preparations to seize the treasure. Do you understand what kind of action this is?"
"A massive looting operation." Joel said he understood.
Um, I don’t know how to communicate with dragons anymore.
"It's a covert action, stealing his treasure without others noticing... This is the most correct way!" Elena signaled.
Joel condemned, "Damn treasure thief!"
If there is anything that Silver Dragon hates the most, it must be treasure thieves.
Often, the way in which one thinks he is collecting treasures safely will be stolen by thieves.
If they lose the battle, the Silver Dragon will not be so angry, but they can't even know who the thief is, which makes the Dragon desperate. A qualified treasure thief will erase the magic that the Silver Dragon has blessed on the treasure.
imprint.
"Aren't you the same..." Igna said.
In the world of dragons, Joel has stolen treasures many times.
"This is different..." Joel said forcefully, "I'm...borrowing it."
