Upon seeing the four people, Rangnick immediately stopped and became alert.
"We mean no harm, we just want to make a deal with you?"
A calm voice rang out, reaching his ears. Little Rangnick didn't believe it at all; none of the four people in front of him were kind.
One was nearly three meters tall and clad in heavy armor, another was over two meters tall and wielded an iron hammer, one was hidden in a black cloak, and there was also an old man who was neither human nor inhuman.
Of course, he did not reject the deal, but simply took a few steps back to maintain what he considered a safe distance.
What kind of transaction?
“It’s very simple…” the heavily armored man said in a deep voice, simply describing what he needed to do.
After hearing this, Rannick's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty: "I can do that, but can you defeat that dragon?"
He stared intently at the four men, and when he saw the heavily armored man nod calmly, he said, "Don't worry, since we dare to do this, we naturally have some confidence. We can promise that after we kill the dragon, we will restore your territory and your status as a lord."
Hearing the promise from the other party, Rangnick breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a gamble, and he didn't know the identities of the people in front of him, he took the gamble.
"I will do as you say, and I hope you won't go back on your word!"
After saying this, seeing the others nod, Rangnick immediately turned and left without further hesitation.
...
"Someone has discovered a treasure trove of ruins in the northwest of Dragon Territory, which is suspected to be the secret treasure of a powerful kingdom in the northwestern countries that existed thousands of years ago."
Su Qing was somewhat surprised when she saw the news, as it was too sudden, but after careful consideration, she felt it made sense.
Countless dynasties have risen and fallen on this continent, so it's quite normal for a treasure left behind by a kingdom thousands of years ago.
After a moment's thought, Su Qing decided to send someone to take a look first, and then make the trip herself once she was sure.
Li Ming and Old Sam are both very busy right now, as there are many things to handle in the newly built South Dragon City and North Dragon City.
Alan is currently training his troops and cannot leave for the time being.
Hillary is currently busy with construction; with her plant-based magic, she's as capable as a dozen construction teams.
It seems that the only one we can use now is that female knight!
Su Qing had someone summon the female knight and asked her to come over.
When the female knight learned the dragon's purpose in summoning her, she wasn't particularly happy, since no one would willingly travel such a long distance for no reason.
Reluctantly setting off, she traveled for half a day and had just arrived at her destination when an extremely terrifying power enveloped her and suppressed her on the spot.
Who are you?
The suppressed female knight was somewhat angry. Even if she was stupid, she knew that she had been tricked, or rather, that the dragon had been tricked, and that she had taken a bullet for the dragon.
"Who we are is not important. On the contrary, you are a high-ranking knight. How could you be willing to be a lackey of a dragon?"
A somewhat aged, mocking voice made the female knight's face flush red. Who would want to be a lackey of this dragon? At that moment, a knife was already at her throat; if she disagreed, there was only death on her mind.
Moreover, given that dragon's shamelessness, who knows what excessive things it might do to her before she died.
Besides, even if I become a lackey, what does it have to do with you?
What do you want to do?
The female knight glared at the group.
"If you don't want to do anything, just wait here quietly. We'll set you free after we kill that dragon!"
The old alchemist tossed the female knight into the cave, uttered a casual remark, and turned to leave.
After the female knight left, Su Qing put the treasure out of her mind and began to study the puppies that had just been born.
First, there is the two-horned wolf, which is almost a weakened version of the four-horned wolf, and is extremely wolf-like.
After confirming this, Su Qing had the two-horned and four-horned demon wolves raised together.
The second type, a black and white dog with only one horn, has almost completely lost its wolfish nature. Compared to the first type, the two-legged wolf, it is weaker, but relatively more lovable.
They are not afraid of strangers at all; they will pounce on people they encounter and grab their trouser legs to climb up.
With a stroke of his pen, Su Qing classified these black and white dogs as pets and kept them separately.
Finally, there is the third type, a round, black, fluffy dog. It is weaker than the first two types, but it possesses a magical talent that the first two types do not have.
It can now spit out shadow orbs the size of glass marbles.
Of course, compared to the magical talent of the four-horned wolf, the magical talent of the black fur ball dog is relatively weak. It seems to have breeding value. With proper breeding and bloodline optimization, some good breeds will emerge sooner or later.
Su Qing instructed the farm manager to take detailed notes, recording the dogs' daily growth, before leaving satisfied.
Back at the castle, as Su Qing reviewed the reports from South Dragon City and North Dragon City, he realized that the female knight had been gone for two days and there had been no news of her.
He summoned Hillary to inquire, and the two signed an equal contract, so they would have a connection with each other.
"I can sense that the other party is not in any immediate danger, but it seems to be trapped!"
Based on the information she sensed through the contract, Hillary told the truth.
Su Qing nodded and told her to leave, then lowered her head to think and ponder.
Could there really be some treasure there, and the female knight is trapped inside because she is not strong enough?
That's quite possible!
Thinking of this, he sighed. He really had no useful soldiers under his command. They couldn't even handle such a small matter. What use were they to him?
I still need to go there myself!
Briefly instruct Little Mary that if anything happens in the castle during this time, ask her to handle it first; if you can't decide, wait for her to return.
After giving the instructions, it flapped its wings and left.
Little Mary was left behind, feeling a bit nervous. She hadn't expected the dragon to trust her so much, and she didn't know what to feel.
She remembered that she was kidnapped by this dragon, so why was she now helping him with things in the castle when he wasn't around?
Leaving aside Little Mary's strange mood, Su Qing leisurely arrived at the place where he had reported the discovery of the treasure ruins in the short span of half a day.
While in mid-air, he noticed nothing unusual. But as soon as he flapped his wings and landed, a strange change occurred.
