Inside the camp cabin, after Xia Lan applied medicine to the sleepy Delane, she gently pulled the boastful Faaudis out.
"My Pope, please worship your god." Faaudis really floated up and circled above Xia Lan's head, almost making him dizzy.
"Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on them? How come one of them almost died?" Xia Lan asked helplessly as she looked at the flying Faaudis.
“Who would have thought that Tone Sudin would shoot arrows as he said? I almost didn’t react. He is my devout believer, how could I ignore him? The gods will watch over each of his lambs.
And I've already stolen all the gold coins hidden in the bottom of the cabin by Tone Soutine, the man who wanted to kill my believers... No, I'm giving them to you to develop the Church of Truth. Otherwise, you won't be able to control that greedy dragon."
Faaudis was obviously very dissatisfied with Xia Lan's words, and he pouted angrily.
"Well, thank you, great Lord of Truth. After we defeat the monsters outside, I will build a temple for you."
After hearing this, Faaudis showed a satisfied look.
"Your Majesty, who are you talking to?" Mai Dan, who came hurriedly, saw Xia Lan talking to himself at the door. He looked around carefully and asked in a low voice.
"I am praying to the Lord of Truth. What is the matter, Maidan?"
Mai Dan reacted and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this is bad! Suler has been captured by Lord Arthurs!"
"He's been captured. Arthurs shouldn't eat people...why did he capture him?"
Xia Lan was a little puzzled. She had just given him a sum of gold coins that Phaodis had taken from Tone Soutine, so what was he doing now?
"I've long said that the money-grubbing dragon is unreliable. All he cares about is gold coins. Just like you said before, it's clearly overdosed on heavy metals."
Phaodis disliked Arthurs since the first time he saw him on Silver Deer Island. He disliked him even more after he grew into a young dragon and posed a threat to him.
But given Arthurs's personality, if he could see Phaudis, he would also be unhappy with this wild god. There is no one more arrogant than Lord Arthurs.
Ignoring Faaudis's nagging, Xia Lan followed Mai Dan to Arthurs' residence.
Next to the tallest wooden house in the camp, Soulaire, who was captured by Arthurs, was standing in front of the door holding a wooden board. Seeing Xia Lan, his face was full of excitement, but he didn't dare to move. The wooden board was written with "Blue Dragon Bank".
He probably understood what the blue dragon wanted to do. It turned out that a dragon couldn't be too rich.
Arthurs had just returned, but he had also captured another person, Chekov. The roughest man in the camp was pleading with despair on his face: "Master Arthurs, I really don't want a loan. I can't spend it here."
"Big guy, I've already investigated. You've lost all the gold coins Xia Lan gave you. Don't you want to win them back? Don't worry, my interest rate is very low."
Arthurs imitated Xia Lan's tone, pressed the strong man who wanted to escape in front of him and persuaded him.
"But I don't want to work for a hundred years." Chekhov disagreed and struggled desperately.
"Doing business is a bit risky. Xia Lan said that if you gamble nine times out of ten, you lose, but there's still a chance of winning, right? Believe in yourself, Chekhov, you can do it..."
"Your Majesty, please save me. I will never gamble again. Never again!"
Arthurs wanted to persuade him again, but when Chekhov saw Xia Lan, he seemed to have seen his savior and crawled towards Xia Lan desperately.
In excitement, Chekov, who had good talent to begin with and had eaten monster meat in recent days, broke through to the extraordinary level and entered the black iron level, but still could not escape the dragon claws of Arthurs.
Xia Lan looked at this scene speechlessly, "Arthurs, what are you doing again?"
Arthurs raised his head and said arrogantly, "Xia Lan Auglos, I have decided to be self-reliant and earn my own gold. I have kicked you out of my partner role. You will have to take care of yourself."
"Self-reliance, when did you develop a brain?" Xia Lan was full of surprise. Could it be that the dragon really had excessive heavy metals?
"Hahaha……"
Arthurs laughed out loud, not understanding what Xia Lan said about him being stupid before.
"Xia Lan Auglos, regret the days without Lord Arthurs. When you paid me yesterday's wages for steelmaking and the previous debts, the great Arthurs awakened!
Every dragon with an ideal should rely on itself, rather than pinning its dreams on others. I must learn to work for myself and be my own boss..."
"Alright, alright, play as you please. Soulaire is still young and learning. Find someone else to be your sign-bearer."
Xia Lan waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to listen to the crazy dragon's big talk anymore. The recent Warcraft incident was enough of a headache for him. He didn't care about the bank's affairs as long as he didn't cause any trouble.
As for Chekhov, it was a good lesson for this guy who had become the most troublemaker since Frederick left. It was unheard of for him to lose everything in the gambling.
"No, he is my general manager. There are many businesses waiting for him to handle, and he has to implement my grand plan." Arthurs shook his head to express his disagreement.
But after a while, seeing that Xia Lan didn't say anything and her eyes were wandering for a long time, Arthurs said embarrassedly: "Give me money..."
He came in without knocking, and my gold coins got scared..."
Xia Lan remained silent, staring at Arthurs for a long moment before saying, "Give me back my secretary."
…
In the end, the king took back his royal secretary without paying a single copper coin, and as for the howling Chekhov, no one cared about him.
Xia Lan reflected on himself. He felt that it was wrong for him to not only pay off the debt owed to the Faouds National Bank but also pay Arthurs wages because Faouds suddenly brought back more than a dozen boxes of gold coins, which made him feel proud.
It's all Toné Soutine's fault. Why is he showing off with so many gold coins?
…
At this moment, Tone Soutine, who was being lamented by Xia Lan, was lying in the bottom of the cabin where he had lost his gold coins, drinking bottle after bottle of wine. "Where are my gold coins? Where did my gold coins go?"
"Sir, we are almost at Zilaner Island." A guard walked in with his head held high and said carefully.
“Chi!”
With bloodshot eyes, Tone Soutine stabbed to death the guy who appeared when he was so unhappy, then staggered to his feet and stabbed him twice more.
"Do you want me to go back and die? If I don't bring back the gold coins, those guys will kill me!"
After a hysterical outburst, Toné Soutine sat down again. The fear in his eyes dissipated, and he gradually became crazy.
"Want to kill me?
You planned the Snowy Night Incident thirteen years ago and stood at the pinnacle of power, so why can't I?
Thirteen families versus thirteen years, a cycle...
Hahaha……
Fate, how sweet it is!"
