CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 50: BIG NEWS

But Land still forgave him.

If you ask why the stingy dragon Land was so generous?

That’s because you don’t understand Land at all.

In fact, Land’s stinginess is relative.

When it comes to useless trash, he doesn’t care at all; their intrinsic value is almost negligible.

Just like the young dragons, Xiao Female Dragon Fiona and Xiao Black Dragon Ed.

These two useless creatures, because of their young age, had no real value to Land.

They needed his protection and feeding.

Yet they couldn’t offer him the slightest bit of help.

Raising them to become a fighting force wasn’t something that could be resolved in a short time.

If they were replaced by a young or adult Red Dragon or Black Dragon, see if Land wouldn’t give them some rewards after dealing with enemies.

Of course, those rewards had to be acquired by the other party in its entirety before Land took the lion’s share!

Aganfu, to Land, was a useful talent!

Even though he didn’t have much fighting power, he could effectively absorb Land’s advanced business concepts and execute them perfectly, earning him a lot of Gold Taler.

This was something his current Half-Beastman and Elf subordinates simply couldn’t achieve!

Therefore, Land allowed him to embezzle a small amount of his treasure...

Of course, you could also call it temporary safekeeping.

Land piled the Gold Taler and Silver Rable he had just obtained back onto his treasure heap and then eagerly closed his eyes to quickly fall asleep.

Until the next day when he opened his dragon eyes again.

His expression inevitably showed a hint of disappointment.

The achievement [Wealth]Ⅱ still hadn’t been unlocked!

Could his calculations be wrong?

Land was a bit confused.

The first time he unlocked [Wealth]Ⅰ, he acquired equipment worth nearly 300 Gold Taler.

But in Land’s heart, he actually leaned more towards the notion that acquiring 100 Gold Taler unlocked [Wealth]Ⅰ.

Then according to Land’s years of gaming experience, perhaps 1000 Gold Taler would unlock [Wealth]Ⅱ!

This is also why Land kept Aganfu around and drove him to work hard to earn money.

He wasn’t short by much money.

But now?

Killing the intruding nobility earned him 247 Gold Taler.

The treasure he ransacked from the merchant guild directly sold for 500 Gold Taler, plus the 20 Gold Taler from defeating guards and adventurers to acquire equipment.

Goblin Nobility firearms for 100 Gold Taler.

And over the past three months, he had shipped back 40, 75, and 100 Gold Taler; clearly, the funds had surpassed 1000 Gold Taler, reaching 1082 Gold Taler.

But why couldn’t he still unlock [Wealth]Ⅱ?

Was he thinking wrong?

Could it be the 10-base unlocking condition with 200 Gold Taler as the basis?

Land frowned; perhaps that was the only reason, which made him slightly irritated. It seemed he’d have to wait a bit longer.

But it wouldn’t be too long; based on the current speed of earning money and its growth, Land believed that as long as everything went smoothly, it might only take six or seven months or even less.

He’d be able to make up the missing 1000 Gold Taler!

Time was something he had plenty of!

But he was impatient.

He instructed the Half-Beastmen to wander around outside more.

Hoping to encounter a few more merchant caravans, so he could rob them a few times; perhaps that would be faster?

After all, robbing was his job as an Evil Dragon! Money came so fast!

However, he couldn’t just mindlessly fly around and rob, for that would draw out truly expert Humans and even attract other greedy kin.

.................

"Five months! It’s been five whole months! Little Black Dragon! Do you know how hard my friend has waited over these five months?"

Far away, on the weed field shrouded in black mist,

the Elf incarnation of the Silver Dragon stared expressionlessly at the Little Black Dragon.

Making the Little Black Dragon shiver all over.

He was a Black Dragon with Red Dragon bloodline!

"Sister! Sister! It’s really soon! Please believe me! This is the last time! Just one more month! He’ll be back!"

Xiao Black Dragon Ed clasped his forelegs together, tilting his head, his dragon face full of pleading, with a touch of cuteness.

When Black Dragons grow up, they are somewhat ugly in appearance, but most creatures in nature are a bit cute when they’re young.

"Little Black Dragon! Your so-called brother, who is supposedly as close as Metal Dragon brothers, abandoned you long ago.

Amazing that you managed to bypass lie-detector detection!"

The Silver Dragon’s eyes were slightly sharp, his voice icy.

"I didn’t lie! Sister Silver Dragon! You have to believe me! It’s been five months! We don’t need to wait for just this one more month!

Land must have encountered an urgent matter!

Yes! Maybe he ran into some unexpected situation! I guess he might have found some caravan, tracking them to prepare for a robbery!

It could also be that he met a Mother Dragon! Then he got infatuated, enchanted! Temporarily entangled with the Mother Dragon.

But trust me, one month! One month and he’ll definitely be back! It’s a sense between brothers!"

Xiao Black Dragon looked at the Silver Dragon with absolute sincerity.

"You’ve said that kind of thing seven times already! And I’ve listened to it seven whole times! I won’t trust you anymore! Little Black Dragon!

You and this Little Red Dragon should go to Dragon Island Prison and enjoy the rest of your lives there!"

The nostrils of the Silver Dragon turned into an Elf constantly sprayed white mist.

Clearly, her heart was far from as calm as her appearance suggested!

When she finished speaking, she also glanced at a mound beside her.

"Wuwuwu! Wuwuwuwu!"

A whimpering sound came from the two small holes in the mound.

This was Xiao Female Dragon Fiona’s voice!

The sound had long lost the originally full vigor, now full of pleading tones!

The poor little female was trapped for a full five months!

In these five months, she couldn’t even turn over! She couldn’t even speak! Apart from eating, all she could do was breathe!

She was about to go insane!

Five months! She was only six or seven years old since birth! Five months already occupied more than one fourteenth of her dragon life!

She felt she was the unluckiest dragon in the world!

Just born, she was bullied by Mother of Dragons! Later bullied by Land! Now even bullied by a damn Silver Dragon!

This damn Silver Dragon! Is she really a self-proclaimed benevolent Metal Dragon?

Look at what good things she has done?

Treating a young dragon so abusively! Even us Five-Colored Dragons might not necessarily do such things, right?

She was as disgusting as those Dragon Witch Demons!

By Tiamat! Why did she have to go through such hardships!?

Bahamut, that bastard, should expel this Silver Dragon from the Metal Dragon status!

The cries of the Xiao Female Dragon couldn’t attract anyone’s attention; everyone, dragons, had already ignored her!

"In the end... we still couldn’t catch that Evil Dragon and give him the punishment he deserves?" The golden-haired Viss sighed a bit.

Compared to five months ago, her expression had calmed much more, but she would never forget the Evil Dragon that killed her father.

"Viss, I’m very sorry.

But believe me, once I take these two young dragons back to Dragon Island Prison, I’ll return immediately, and at that time I’ll actively search for the Evil Dragon’s whereabouts! I’ll defeat him and take him back to Dragon Island Prison!"

The Silver Dragon looked at her friend earnestly.

"I believe you."

Viss had no choice but to believe.

"Then, Viss, Ashley, let’s take our leave here first!" The Silver Dragon said as she prepared to transform to her true form to take the two young dragons away.

But just then, a figure emerged from a nearby burrow and shouted out to everyone:

"Miss! Miss! There’s news! Big news!"
