For the next period of time, the entire city of Tru was still in panic.
After all, there are two legendary monsters living in the city now, and these two guys can destroy the entire city at any time and anywhere.
Half a month after defeating the eldest prince, Hood came to Dress's house with an excited look on his face.
"Hahaha! Mr. Wind Swordsman, Mr. Dress, this time you are really famous in the continent." Hood said with a flattering look on his face.
"What brings you here, Hood? Has my bet money arrived? Or has the thing I asked you to do before been completed?" Dress asked with a smile.
"Hahaha! I think we have both! Last night, the headquarters sent over the money you won and the money I won. Also, the armor you asked me to make has been completed. There are seven pieces in total." Hood directed his men to come in pushing several large boxes.
Four of the large boxes were filled with gold coins, which were the money Dress had won from gambling before.
As for the remaining small box, it contained cloth armor made of Bemenstein fur.
"There are four large boxes of gold coins in total, and each box contains 40,000 gold coins, for a total of 160,000 gold coins. Mr. Dress, please count them." Hood said with a very flattering smile to Dress.
"I remember that even if the money I won was multiplied tenfold, it should be 130,000 gold coins. How come there are 30,000 more gold coins?" Dress asked.
"Haha! 10,000 gold coins among them are my thank you gift to you. You made me earn a lot of money this time. Thanks to you, I can retire early, so I specially gave you some gifts. As for the remaining 20,000 gold coins, someone asked me to give them to you." Hood smiled and said.
"Tell me, who asked you to give it to me?" Dress asked while sitting on a chair, supporting his head.
"I am the Lord of Tru City. I give you these 20,000 gold coins in the hope that Mr. Dress will not come to Tru City again. Because the Holy Silver Dragon Empire has put some pressure on Tru City, Tru City will classify you as unwelcome.
Of course, if you must enter Tru City, I hope you can disguise yourself so the guards can't see you." Hood smiled and said.
Honestly, the current Lord City Lord is in a very difficult position. Although the Holy Silver Dragon Empire hasn't said anything, the one who brought the Holy Silver Dragon Empire down this time is from their own Tru City. What do you want him to do?
There was no other way! The Lord of Tru City couldn't afford to offend either side: on one side was the behemoth that was the Holy Silver Dragon Empire, and on the other was a terrifying existence that could easily destroy the entire city.
After learning that Hood and Dress were on good terms, the Lord of Tru City immediately approached him and offered him 20,000 gold coins.
I hope that Dress can give me a little face in the future and not come to Tru City again. If I must enter the city for supplies, I hope I can disguise myself a little bit to save his face.
"This is the situation, Lord Dress. The Lord of Tru City is really at his wit's end. He can't afford to offend either side. You also know the power of the Holy Silver Dragon Empire. Besides, he is just an earl of the Kingdom of Aofei and can't afford to offend big shots like you. I hope you can accept these 20,000 gold coins." Hood told Dress all the circumstances.
"Well! Take these 20,000 gold coins back. I'll accept the money I won and your 10,000 gold coins as a thank-you gift. Tell the mayor of Tru City that I will not return to Tru City unless it is necessary. If he needs to buy supplies, I will not make it difficult for him." Dress said.
Now, gold coins are just a string of numbers to me, and they are enough for me to spend anyway!
He was just a small earl from a remote kingdom and a small lord of Tru City. There was really no need for him to make things difficult for him.
Moreover, the mayor of Tru City is usually a good person, and the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, so Dress has no intention of making things difficult for him.
"That's good. I'll tell him. Are you really not going to accept the gold coins? If you accept them, he'll feel more at ease. If you don't, the city lord will probably become suspicious." Hood said.
After all, he came here to act as a lobbyist. If Dress accepted the money, the meaning would be different and it would make the mayor of Tru Village feel more at ease.
"Okay! I understand. I'll take the 20,000 gold coins. Is there anything else?" Dress nodded and said.
"Also, the people from the Holy Silver Dragon Empire have arrived and are staying in the City Lord's Mansion. I hope to visit them tomorrow." Hood said.
Hearing this, Dress finally perked up. This was the real boss!
"In your opinion, are they here to fight me, or to pay the ransom and take my person away?" Dress asked.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but the Silver Dragon Empire probably doesn't have the courage to fight now. After all, the Kingdom of Luflank is pressing hard, and they brought a lot of big boxes this time. They should be asking you to pay the ransom. Lord Dress, you should be able to make a lot of money this time." Hood said.
"Okay! I understand. Go back and tell them that I'll be waiting at home for people from the Holy Silver Dragon Empire to come and visit me tomorrow." Dress said with a smile.
Hood nodded, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries before Dress saw him off.
"Grudes, how are our two guests and two prisoners doing now?" Dress asked after sending them away.
The two guests were two silver dragons, and the two prisoners were naturally the eldest prince and Mondes.
"My two compatriots are relatively well-behaved and have been waiting for the ransom from the Silver Dragon Clan. As for our prisoner, he has magic chains and the food has not been very good these days. He probably only has the strength to lie on the ground." Grodes said.
In fact, the two silver dragons are more unlucky, because the person guarding them is Behmonstan, so the two silver dragons are really well-behaved.
"That's good!"
Just as Dress was about to go back to his room to rest, there was another knock on the door.
Who would it be at this time?
Dress walked forward and opened the door. Standing at the door was a man in a black robe. It was Yorick, whom he had not seen for many days.
"Long time no see, Mr. Dress. You have done something earth-shattering recently!" Yorick said.
"It's nothing. It was the Holy Silver Dragon Empire that came to us first." Dress said.
"Mr. Dress, I have exchanged everything you gave me for magic energy crystals, totaling 6,000 kilograms. And I brought a guest this time, come here." Yorick said.
Only then did Dress notice that there was someone standing next to Yorick.
