Red Dragon Emperor

Goblin tax collector Benny drove the ogre to Feralas, sizing up the young man in front of him with his small sunken eyes, showing a look of scrutiny.

Different from the old fritters such as caravan buddies and mercenaries I saw before, when facing himself and the ogre, the eyes of this young man in front of him revealed shock and interest. It was the first time he had come to the Triangle Plain, and since From the material of the leather armor on his body, it can be seen that this person is not simple.

"Tax Officer Benny, this is a passenger following our caravan—Mr. Feralas. He admires the elegance of the Triangle Plain very much and came here from the south," the caravan steward helped explain.

"Well," Tax Inspector Benny nodded, and said in a goblin's unique high-pitched voice, "Young man, show your identity card."

Hearing this, Feralas reached out and took out the adventurer certificate from his pocket, stood up and handed it to the goblin.

Territorial Continent has a strong sense of territory and region, and the population flow is slow. On the one hand, it is because of the ubiquitous dangers in the wilderness. On the other hand, it is also a problem to enter the territory of other forces.

In order to prevent robbers, spies, cultists and other forces from sneaking in, any force will strictly control the inflow of people. If the identity of the visitor is unknown, he will be turned away by the city guards. In some vigilant areas, the unknown person will even be arrested and tortured. .

In this regard, the chamber of commerce that undertakes the function of material circulation has a natural advantage. Almost all lords welcome merchants who donate taxes, and apply for business qualification certificates for the chamber of commerce, which can allow the chamber of commerce to pass collectively.

However, it is not so convenient for individuals. They must show their qualification certificates one by one. Generally speaking, qualification certificates include: kingdom citizenship certificate, adventurer certificate, noble certificate, etc.

The applicability of qualification certificates varies in different regions. For example, the citizenship certificate and noble certificate of the Dana Kingdom can pass in the cities of the kingdom and friendly forces, but they may be killed on the spot if they are taken to the hostile Odyssey Kingdom.

Relatively speaking, the applicability of the adventurer certificate is much wider, because most lords will not reject adventurers who can solve various troubles.

The Goblin tax officer took the adventurer's certificate from Feralas, first confirmed the authenticity of the magic imprint on it, and then opened the certificate to check if there were any bad records inside. Seeing that it was full of mission records and high-score evaluations, Can't help but look at Feralas more.

Feralas has also been observing the goblin. He found that the goblin's eyes were shining with wisdom, and he could really distinguish the authenticity of the magic imprint. He couldn't help being surprised.

You must know that distinguishing the authenticity of magic imprints requires a wealth of knowledge and magic knowledge. In the human kingdom, the role of tax collectors is generally played by mage apprentices, and even rudimentary mages in some prosperous cities.

He couldn't connect the Goblin, who was the lowest wild monster, with the knowledgeable spellcaster.

After confirming that there was no problem with the adventurer's certificate, the goblin returned the adventurer's certificate to its original owner.

"Young man, don't cause trouble in Feisai Kingdom."

"As long as things don't mess with me."

The goblin tax collector nodded and went to check the next carriage.

The inspection process lasted for more than ten minutes, and everyone in the caravan was finally allowed to pass, and drove the carriage to Shichui Town.

As soon as he left the checkpoint, Feralas couldn't help his curiosity, and turned to look at the goblin on the ogre's shoulder.

He whispered to the bearded mercenary riding beside him, "Uncle Merck, do you know what's going on with this goblin?"

Merck also lowered his voice and responded: "Feras, in the Triangular Plain, you have to abandon all your previous common sense about monsters. The monsters in this place are completely different from those in other places. Have you ever seen an orc who takes a bath once a day? Have you seen it?" A skilled ogre chef,

Have you ever seen a well-mannered quilboar? It's not surprising to have a knowledgeable goblin. "

"Haha," the steward of the caravan not far away chuckled, and took over the conversation: "Brother Feralas, if you want to ask about this, I do know something."

"Oh, please tell me, Mr. Manager," Feralas made a gesture of listening attentively.

The steward of the caravan looked around, and said in a low voice, "Tax Officer Benny claims to have graduated from a certain faction belonging to the real dragon. It seems to be... what is it called [Burning Wings], but I know he is bragging. Because he never graduated."

"Last time, he was drunk in a tavern and cried loudly. He cried bitterly that he failed to pass a certain assessment of [Burning Wings] and was eliminated. He could only become a tax officer. He also said a lot of incomprehensible words, what? What a great explosion, spiral ascension or something..."

Gradually, everyone entered Shichui Town, and there were more pedestrians around.

"There is such a place in the world where so many races live together."

Looking at the orcs, wild boars, tauren, gnolls, goblins, kobolds, humans, barbarians, and a few centaurs and ogres walking on the street, Feralas was dazzled and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

After entering the city, the passenger - Feralas' deal with the caravan was completed, but he did not leave the team because he promised the bearded mercenary to have a good day together.

The caravans were going to sell the goods they brought, and there was no need for mercenary protection in the city, so the mercenaries were also free.

Merck received the salary from the leader, and ran towards Feralas with a smile, hooking his shoulders together: "Go! I'll take you to have fun!"

A while later, in the largest tavern in Stone Hammer Town - [Wild Boar and Whistle], Feralas, the bearded mercenary and everyone were drinking and carnival.

In this wide tavern hall, all kinds of races gathered together, holding oak wine glasses, laughing and punching to add to the fun, and the atmosphere was warm.

In the center of the tavern, there is also a square platform, which is where the troubadours perform.

It's just that troubadours are not always available, and the stage at this time is empty.

After seven or eight cups of flavored spirits brewed by the wild boar, Feralas blushed and felt a little drunk, but at the same time very excited, he pushed away the wine glass handed over by the bearded mercenary who was also a little drunk.

"Uncle... Uncle Merck, let me... come and perform a song for you, a song from my hometown."

"You...can you do it? I think you are drunk."

"I... I'm not drunk."

Freeing himself from the grasp of his fellow villagers, he staggered towards the stage, and with the skill of a high-ranking ranger, he stepped onto the stage.

"Everyone! Everyone! Quiet! Quiet!"

In the tavern, everyone who was drinking and having fun heard the words, turned their eyes to the center of the tavern hall, and saw the young ranger on the stage.

"I'm Feralas from the Yod Province of the Pooh Kingdom in the south. I am very happy to come to the Triangle Plain today. Let me perform "Yord's Forest" for everyone."

When they heard someone performing a show, everyone was elated, cheering and whistling.

Feralas was not stage-frightened either, so he picked up the musical instrument placed on the side of the stage and began to play and sing.

"Ah~."

Hearing the beginning of the continuous "ah", the bearded mercenary - Merck was shocked and couldn't help shivering, feeling a bad premonition.

"..."

His premonition was correct. Although Feralas was powerful, he was tone-deaf, and the drinkers in the tavern wanted to curse people as soon as they spoke.

"This is the ugliest song I've ever heard!"

"My ears! Why did you hurt my ears!"

"My god of orcs! Stop singing!"

"..."

Feralas was unmoved, the audience was excited, and the wine glasses were thrown towards the stage one by one.

But Feralas is worthy of being a high-level ranger. Even in a drunk state, it is more than enough to avoid the wine glasses thrown by ordinary people. He turned sideways and twisted his waist to avoid everyone's attacks, while still singing incessantly.

The magic sound filled the ears, and the drinkers became more and more annoyed. The scene suddenly lost control, and the wine glasses and benches flew together.

The wild boar boss's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he hurriedly greeted everyone, but everyone was drunk, and they would obey the greetings, and the tavern was in chaos.

That night, the legend of a death musician spread throughout the town of Stonehammer with the return of the alcoholic.

The next day, Feralas sat up from the bed in the [Wild Boar and Whistle] tavern, and when he woke up, he remembered the absurd things of last night, and suddenly felt that his whole body was not well.

He held his head in his hands and his hair was disheveled.

"My God! What have I done?! My first name!"

……………………………

Moduo Peak Forest.

On the top of Oka City, in the palace named [Red Castle], stone pillars line the end of the throne hall on both sides.

Jose was in a comfortable posture, reclining on the throne, listening to the progress report of the kobold family below.

"Master, the first thing is, most of the road from Oka City to Xunlin Town has been completed. According to this progress, it only takes one week to connect the two places, and the opening of Moduo Peak Forest will never be delayed."

"Well, I don't worry about your work," Jose nodded casually.

Half a month ago, he released the news that the Moduo Peak Forest was about to be opened, and the opening should not allow visitors to run around in the forest.

For this reason, he decided to build a road in the Modo Peak Forest to connect the capital, Oka, and the Triangle Plain. On the other side of the road is the former Modo Peak Forest border patrol camp. It has been renamed Xunlin Town.

"I'm not worried about the roads. What I'm most concerned about right now is the allocation ratio of purchase qualifications for real estate in Oka City. Do you have any good solutions for this?"

"With an initial plan, it is decided to distribute according to the population ratio. The residents of the Triangle Plain and the residents of the Moduo Peak Forest are equally average. At the same time, we have to reserve some shops in prime locations and sell them to major chambers of commerce as appropriate. The business environment of the capital is not good. behind……"

"The founding ceremony, are the candidates sent by the major races ready?"

"Returning to the master, the candidates have been determined, and they are still training and rehearsing. There are still more than two months before the founding ceremony, so there is still plenty of time."

"..."

After reporting the preparations for the founding of the country in detail, Ergou continued: "There is one last thing, master, there is bad news from the Triangle Plain. Hulk has received intelligence from secret agents. There are external forces trying to sabotage the founding ceremony, but the news has not yet been confirmed. true and false."

"It's just a bunch of jumping clowns, there's nothing wrong with it," Jose's casual attitude remained unchanged, but his eyes were fixed, full of killing intent.

He waved his hand: "Okay, go down and do what you are responsible for."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Er Gou retreated.

In the corridor-shaped throne hall lined with stone pillars, Jose lay alone on the throne at the end of the hall, lost in thought.

Someone tried to sabotage the founding ceremony of the Forsey Kingdom, which didn't surprise him, because there were many people who hated him, [Dana Kingdom], [Northern Witch Council], especially the battle that killed them a few months ago. Four legendary powerhouses, and four legendary powerhouses who escaped with serious injuries.

The revenge of the relatives of the dead legendary strong, the revenge of the seriously injured legendary strong, or other forces that do not want to see a powerful force appear in the middle of the prairie, they all have the motive of destruction.

However, as he said, the saboteurs are just a bunch of clowns, and he doesn't worry about how much damage these clowns can cause.

At present, the construction of the inverted magic tower is completed, and the area around the city of Oka is a hundred miles away, which is his home field.

This home field covers the entire Moduo Peak Forest and part of the Triangle Plain. Within this range, unless a demigod makes a move, the Red Dragon has absolute confidence and strength to control the overall situation.

The people behind the jumping beam clown also understand this point, and will never send a strong person to die, so they can only make a small fuss.

Small fights don't hurt, but they are disgusting.

"You personally took people to the Triangle Plain. During this time, I don't want to hear any bad news," Jose said to himself.

Yet the empty hall responded.

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

A shadow moved in the shadow of the stone pillar and walked towards the entrance of the hall. It was the leader of [Red Dagger], the Wolf Man—Van Cleef.

If we say which team Jose has invested the most resources in these years, then [Burning Wings], [Pro Guards], and [Red Dagger] are definitely the top three.

[Burning Wings] gathers the top magic talents of various monster races. They are not only research institutions, but also a base for cultivating spellcasters. Their importance is self-evident.

[Pro-Guards], the most elite fighters under Red Dragon form [Pro-Guards], they are the last line of defense around Red Dragon, equipped with the best equipment, enjoy the best practice resources, and are responsible for guarding the palace.

If the [Pro-Guard] is the guard on the surface, then the [Red Dagger] is the guard in the dark.

[Red Dagger] According to the functions of the members of the organization, it can be roughly divided into two categories:

The first type is thieves, they are rare in number, but all of them are elite, at least mid-level professionals, and their leaders are master-level thieves trained by Red Dragon for more than 20 years. Generally speaking, [Red Dagger] It will not be dispatched, and once it is dispatched, it will be extraordinary, and it will inevitably deal a devastating blow to the enemy.

The second type is intelligence personnel. 【Red Dagger】has intelligence sources independent of the Kingdom system. These members hide in various parts of the Kingdom on weekdays and seem to live an ordinary life. Once they find something that endangers the Red Dragon, they will report it immediately and will Threats are killed in the cradle.
