Li Aili didn't understand why the cute little pony living on the clouds would ask for a sky-high commission of 100 million a year.

Are these Pegasus also planning to buy houses in Tankar?

The price made her immediately abandon her plan to keep horses in the castle courtyard.

Li Aili pulled out the dragon gemstone necklace.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to contact her boyfriend.

Li Aili pursed her lips, suppressing her chaotic thoughts, and tried to speak to the Dragon Gem, "Are you over there, Arthur?"

"Yes." A man's voice came immediately from the other end, as if he had been waiting.

After the man responded, Li Aili fell silent.

Her mind kept replaying her conversation with the man in the white robe.

Will Arthur hear me?

Okay, she was overthinking it. The white rose in her pocket didn't react, so the dragon gem necklace probably wouldn't work either.

How should she ask him?

These questions weighed on her mind, making her somewhat uneasy.

“What’s wrong?” the Duke’s voice broke the silence. “My darling.”

Li Aili slowly exhaled, "I'm here in the Pegasus Colony."

"Um, have you ever thought about getting the Knights a new mount?"

The Duke immediately understood her implication: "Those Pegasus horses living in the far north?"

Li Aili: "Yes."

The Duke paused for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Weren't those Pegasus always acting as 'mercenaries'?"

Li Aili said with a headache, "Yes, but one of their arch-enemies has made a comeback..."

"The Gilman family of the Holy Light Court?"

Li Aili thinks she just heard this surname from Tianma.

The Duke then asked, "Have they offered prices for those Pegasus horses?"

Li Aili emphasized, "There are 1,500 Pegasus horses here."

Duke: "..."

Duke: "How much?"

Li Aili: "...One hundred million."

The other party breathed a sigh of relief, "If it's a lifetime contract, then..."

Li Aili: "One year..."

Dragon Gem fell silent again.

The Duke's voice came from the Dragon Gem, though it was hard to describe the tone.

"One hundred million, for a year?"

Well, Li Aili had to admit that the price was somewhat outrageous. "...Yes."

The Duke did not refuse.

The knights all dreamed of riding Pegasus, although from their tone of voice, it was clear that the Duke wasn't very interested in it.

But the knights of the Cold Jade Knights do.

“Darling, let me talk to these Pegasus.”

So, Li Aili returned to the one-eyed pegasus with the dragon gem necklace.

"Oh? So? Can you accept the price I'm offering?" the one-eyed pegasus asked lazily.

A deep male voice emerged from the dragon gemstone necklace:

"Apart from that, do you have any additional conditions?"

The one-eyed Pegasus tilted its head slightly, seemingly examining the dragon gem necklace with its good eye.

"Hey, of course."

Li Aili never expected that 100 million a year was just an 'entry fee'.

"As for fodder, we'll at least eat oats grown by the wood elves."

"If you can get your hands on plants rich in the element of light, we would be even happier."

Duke: "...Is there anything else?"

One-Eyed Pegasus: "Of course. Then there's the issue of habitat."

"Find the Cloud Giant and build us another 'nest'."

Li Aili heard a faint sound of a man drinking water coming from the direction of the dragon gemstone necklace.

"Is there anything else?"

"Oh, females and children don't go to the battlefield."

"How many of your groups are females and children?" the Duke asked calmly.

The one-eyed pegasus said without any hesitation, "Not much, only three-fifths."

"Oh, right, and if you could also help me 'stir up' the Gilman family, that would be even better."

Li Aili: "…………"

With a 'snap,' her beautiful fantasy about Pegasus' other half shattered.

Li Aili heard a loud thud coming from the direction of the dragon gemstone necklace, where a metal water glass was placed heavily on the table.

"Alright, let me speak with my wife alone for a moment." The Duke's voice sounded like he was suppressing a surge of anger.

Li Aili quickly grabbed the dragon gem necklace and ran away.

Before she could speak, a man's voice came from inside the necklace.

“I think this kind of ‘good thing’ is more suitable for our ‘brother-in-law,’ honey, what do you think?”

Li Aili: "..."

"He got that ranger still riding the 'Swift Shadow Deer,' these pegasus horses are just perfect for him."

Li Aili: "…………"

"Alright, I've informed Fishernanki of this good news." The man spoke quickly and decisively.

They looked exactly alike, and fearing they might be a step too late, this large herd of Pegasus settled down in their home.

"He replied, saying that he had already notified his chief executive officer and treasurer."

“Honey, go and tell that group of ‘adorable Pegasus’ the good news right now.”

By the way, let's talk about the amazing plants you might need.

Li Aili: "..."

Finally, before ending the call, the Duke said, "My dear, knights should be allowed to cherish the beautiful dreams they have had since childhood."

The man took a deep breath. "Promise me you won't poke them, okay?"

Li Aili: "..."

As the two were talking, a spatial portal opened in the center of the Pegasus herd.

Two elven governors, with dark circles under their eyes and receding hairlines, were the first to step forward.

The one-eyed pegasus had stood up at some point, his muscles taut, and was staring at the two elven governors with his one remaining eye.
