Luther has always been a curious and bold guy.
So he asked, "Why does the Mountain Eagle need gold coins?"
The Mountain Eagle looked at Luther very calmly, and then said, "A red dragon brought her cubs to a crater near Eagle Mountain to build a nest. She demanded protection fees of 200,000 gold coins from us. The king couldn't defeat her, so he didn't choose to suppress her by force, and sent me here instead."
In fact, it did not come specifically to find Luther, because the King of Eagles had not asked about Luther's origins, so naturally he did not know where Luther was.
The mountain eagle simply flew north and landed when it passed the first city.
But the mountain eagles obviously remembered Luther. After all, their king sent an unprecedented ten snow flowers.
The mountain eagles obviously also understood the value of the bright snow flowers, so they brought fifteen bright snow flowers in exchange for 200,000 gold coins.
The extra part is considered as labor fee for humans.
Luther and the other two were stunned after hearing this. A red dragon robbed a group of mountain eagles, and succeeded.
The Eagle King surrendered without even fighting.
Lawful creatures are indeed a group of rational creatures.
Then the three people from the Pompeii family felt a little worried, because in history, Pompeii Castle had been attacked by dragons many times.
The dragon plundered wealth and caused casualties.
Eagle Mountain is not close to Pompeii, but it is not far away either. It is definitely within the deterrent range of a red dragon.
The key point now is whether this red dragon wants to come to the human world to rob.
Since the rise of humans, many dragons know that robbing humans is risky. Maybe they will fail to rob and be slaughtered instead.
However, incidents of robbing humans or being slain by dragons still occurred frequently.
It depends on the age of the dragon.
The five kinds of dragons, the red dragon, the blue dragon, the green dragon, the black dragon and the white dragon, are extremely greedy and evil. They are also very violent, easily angered and believe in their own power.
The younger the dragon, the more eager it is to show its strength and start a war. Of course, this also results in a high mortality rate. When a five-colored dragon grows older, it will choose to use other methods to rob wealth.
For example, collecting protection fees.
Just like this time the red dragon blackmailed the mountain eagle.
But this is not absolute. Whether the red dragon will rob humans or not depends on what the red dragon specifically thinks.
All in all, the red dragon is definitely one of the most difficult creatures in the world.
By the way, because dragons constantly rob humans of their gold coins, and before they die, dragons will find a secret place to bury themselves and their wealth.
So even though humans continue to discover gold mines, the value of gold has remained stable and has not depreciated.
In this respect, dragons are like the banks of this world, stabilizing the value of currency.
Amen.
But worrying is useless. Since even the Eagle King has chosen to surrender to this red dragon with its cub, it is impossible to defend against it with Pompeii's strength.
Even the Count of Libya might not be able to stop such a powerful dragon.
If the other party came to collect protection fees, Luther could only accept it and pay the tax obediently.
Hell, the lord still has to pay taxes.
horrible.
Let's not talk about these things for now. Luther would naturally not refuse the request of the Mountain Eagle. Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about the last time with the Snow Flower, Luther should also help this group of lawful creatures.
"Thank you, human." The Mountain Eagle said gratefully.
"You're welcome, Mr. Mountain Eagle." Luther also said.
There was no place in the castle to entertain the Mountain Eagle, so Luther could only let the Mountain Eagle stay outside the castle. Then Luther sent his father to Kaiyue City to borrow 200,000 gold coins.
Dad’s face was useful before, and now the knight’s dad’s face is even more useful.
There was no way to borrow money, because both Luther and his partners were out of money. The 200,000 gold coins that Luther earned from selling flowers had already been spent.
Only Baron Philippe had any money left.
Selling the snow flowers takes time, and distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. However, after Luther sent his father, he still took 15 snow flowers to Alice Ranch in the west of the city and asked Miss Alice to help sell the batch of snow flowers.
From a business perspective, Luther still made a profit from this deal.
Because fifteen snow-bright flowers were worth three hundred thousand gold coins, after deducting the two hundred thousand he paid to the Mountain Eagle, he still made a small profit of one hundred thousand gold coins.
Mucuo, for Luther, who now has a wealthy family, one hundred thousand is just a small amount of money.
When Luther arrived at Alice Ranch, the beautiful Miss Alice was wearing a tight suit and a riding hat, riding a white purebred horse, and walking leisurely in the open pasture.
The Thoroughbred is a very valuable breed of horse.
Purebred horse is just a concept, not a category, because there are many types of purebred horses, such as Prussian purebred horses.
Thoroughbred horses are called thoroughbreds because humans only breed them with horses of their own breed.
Once mixed, it is no longer a purebred horse.
Thoroughbred horses are generally used as excellent racehorses and mounts for nobility.
An excellent hunting dog, also a pet dog exclusively for the nobility.
Alice's business is gambling, betting that in the future the metropolis of Pompeii will have a lot of wealthy nobles.
In fact, the money earned from this kind of business is just a small amount, not as much as real estate. Currently, Miss Alice has obtained a piece of land and is starting construction.
I believe that once Pompeii develops into a city, she will become a rich woman.
"How do you have time to come and play with me?" Miss Alice glanced at Luther who was riding a horse, and then asked Luther while sitting on the horse without getting off.
Lack of manners and education, and exuding hormones casually.
This is the merit of the great baron's eldest daughter.
Luther didn't want to get off the horse and look up at the young lady, so he could only sit on the horse and communicate with her helplessly.
"I have fifteen snow flowers. Can you help me sell them?" Luther took a bag from behind the horse, opened the bag and revealed ten snow flowers.
This flower is Miss Alice's jewelry, and Miss Alice is very familiar with it.
"You actually got fifteen more snow flowers?" Miss Alice said jealously, her beautiful big eyes turning red.
If you can get unlimited snow flowers from the hands of the mountain eagle, then why do you want to do any other business? You can become a top billionaire just by selling snow flowers.
Because Alice will always remember that hundreds of snow flowers were floating on the top of Eagle Mountain.
So beautiful.
That is the beauty of gold.
