Perhaps because she was free from pressure during this period, the middle-aged woman looked much younger, and her overall demeanor had changed significantly compared to before.
"There is a treasure trove that should be related to the former Lily Kingdom..."
The middle-aged woman spoke calmly and in a nonchalant tone, quickly finishing her account of the events.
After listening to her story, Su Qing slowly narrowed her eyes.
He was very interested in what the other party was talking about: a treasure trove, the relics of a kingdom... just thinking about it made his heart flutter.
Su Qing, intrigued, suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked at Ariel: "Lily Kingdom? Lily Territory? What is the relationship between you two?"
He wasn't really sure about that, but since the two of them came together and had such similar names, they must have a deep relationship.
A thought flashed through his mind; something came to mind.
"Lily Territory was established by people who lost their country. As for me, if the Lily Kingdom still existed, I should be a princess."
Ariel spoke calmly, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Su Qing was a little confused. Another princess? These days, princesses are really worthless.
Thinking to himself, Su Qing continued to look at the two of them: "So you're planning to give me the treasure trove?"
Ariel's calm expression froze, and she was momentarily stunned.
Compared to her usual aloof demeanor, she looked exceptionally cute at this moment.
You have such a big face!
The middle-aged woman smiled faintly. According to the original agreement, she had already given this treasure trove to Ariel. What to do with it next was his business. All she needed to do was lead them to that place.
"I hope the lord can take me in; there might be an opportunity for me to break through my current limitations."
Ariel spoke calmly as always.
Treasure troves are not simply places to store treasures; they are filled with countless traps, mechanisms, and magic arrays. If one is not careful, one will surely die.
However, she did not know the specific details of those treasure locations, and if she wanted to explore the core, her strength alone might not be enough.
So she thought of asking this dragon for help.
"If I can break through, all the remaining treasures inside will be yours; if I fail to break through, we'll each have half of those treasures."
Su Qing said with great interest, "The terms are very tempting, but they don't seem to satisfy my appetite..."
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up: "Whether you succeed in breaking through or not, all the treasures are mine!"
Ariel frowned slightly, her narrowed phoenix eyes revealing a hint of hostility.
Su Qing smiled brightly: "Don't look at me like that. Haven't you considered that the conditions you mentioned before would put you in great danger?"
"Beautiful princess, it seems you still don't understand me. If you fail to break through, the remaining half of the treasure will be enough for me to kill you."
"So whether you succeed or fail, all the treasures inside are destined to be mine!"
The divine theory left Ariel speechless. After a long while, the woman actually smiled slightly: "You are a beast, but it's good. Greater pressure may make me more confident in breaking through. I hope we can cooperate happily."
Su Qing grinned: "It's a pleasure working with you!"
As she spoke, a contract appeared before her, and Su Qing quickly signed her name.
Ariel, meanwhile, stared at the name of the deity at the top of the contract, lost in thought.
The god of the wild?
Why should we swear in the name of this deity?
Why?
Of course, it's because swearing an oath in the name of this god is useless!
When you swear an oath or make a contract in the name of a deity, the deity will sense it. If you break the oath, the deity will consider it a provocation and will punish you.
The God of Wildness was already crippled to this state; if he dared to do anything else, Su Qing felt that he could kill him now.
Finally, the contract was successfully established, and Ariel prepared to depart the next day.
Su Qing has no objection.
He took advantage of the half-day that was approaching evening to make a trip to the intelligence department.
It's been more than ten days, and the basic framework has been set up.
Because Su Qing completely relinquished control, the entire intelligence system was built based on Chris's ideas.
It is divided into three parts.
First, there's the internal department, specifically responsible for monitoring all members of the Dragon Alliance to prevent betrayal.
Then there's the external side, responsible for gathering intelligence from the outside world; undercover agents and spies are all part of their duties.
The collected information was handed over to the intelligence department for unified sorting, screening, and comparison.
The structure is very simple, but it works very well.
In a short time, Chris had roughly completed the basic structure of the internal and intelligence departments, leaving only the most troublesome external aspects.
Because not only do they need to send people out to gather information, but they also need to plant spies within certain forces.
Therefore, it requires both careful selection and training, which is not an easy task.
Su Qing took a tour and was generally satisfied, considering it a supplement to the intelligence department of the Dragon Territory.
Two pairs of eyes are always better than one!
After leaving, Su Qing went to the place where the Dragon Territory caravan was staying and briefly inquired about the transaction volume during this period.
Because he allowed the war to begin, the trading volume of magic cannons skyrocketed during this period, making him a fortune.
"When we get back, we'll tell them that next time they bring a more advanced magic cannon, version 18.1."
"In addition, we also need to conduct research and upgrades on the magic cannons we use ourselves."
"We must ensure continuous upgrades and replacements. We can sell the old ones that we don't use directly to them without worrying about the cost."
“This is a business. To make money, you have to invest. I’m not a narrow-minded person.”
However, Su Qing's eyes suddenly hardened: "No large-scale testing of the cannon's power is allowed. Tell those alchemists that anyone who disobeys should be dragged out and beaten... Don't kill them, that would be a waste. Break their legs and make them sit in wheelchairs while they continue their research..."
After handing over the details, Su Qingfei returned to headquarters and began dealing with some of the new forces that had joined the alliance recently.
As night fell and the night wore on, Su Qing finished dealing with all the big and small matters. When she looked up, she saw a bright moon through the skylight.
A flash of inspiration bloomed in her heart, but it vanished in an instant. Su Qing pondered carefully, but couldn't think of anything else.
eccentric!
Su Qing shook her head and left to rest.
He was setting off tomorrow and needed to face the treasure cave with high spirits.
Whether it's hidden treasure or a cave, just thinking about it is exciting.
The next morning, Su Qing waited all morning until noon when a beautiful figure came into view.
Clad in light, snow-white armor, standing atop a silver dragon, wielding a silver spear, and with her long, flowing hair dancing wildly, her entire demeanor seemed to have undergone a transformation compared to yesterday.
Not far away, a middle-aged woman stood in mid-air, with a pair of snow-white wings behind her, a faint smile on her face, waiting for them.
Let's go!
Once everyone had arrived, Su Qing prepared to depart!
