Chapter 15: condition

　　 On the dark glade, the black dragon and the blue-clothed girl stood opposite each other, and both sides were unexpectedly calm. Vaguely heard the voices of other dragons arguing about the distribution of trophies, but Wilette did not move at all.
　　 If it wasn't for the pile of minced meat that belonged to Camilla not too far away, it would be hard to believe that the two were rivals just now.
　　 "I think, if you can make this request, your Royal Highness should be prepared?"
　　 Ai Luo changed a comfortable posture, and the same elegant lingua franca came out from his mouth. If you didn't look at his hideous appearance, Willett might think that he was in front of a noble young master with good tutoring.
　　 "Please allow me to take a little bit of your time and tell you the cause and effect."
　　The girl glanced at the deadly thief Maggie for the last time, turned her head resolutely, and bowed slightly to the dragon.
　　 It turned out that the girl’s real name was not Willett, but...Bella Gerrard, the youngest princess in the Kingdom of Falkenrich.
The Kingdom of Falkenridge and the Duchy of Stasi are rivals that have lasted for hundreds of years. The hatred between them is so deep-rooted that the original cause of the enmity is actually hard to remember, and the people of the two countries are still firmly Remember this fact.
　　 Although strictly speaking, the national power of the kingdom is generally stronger than that of the principality, but Fakenridge is the weakest among the nine kingdoms of the Western Continent. If it weren't for its royal family, the Gerrard family, for a long time ago, the Haval Empire, one of the four empires, could not maintain the title of "kingdom".
　　 Of course, the rulers of the Haval Empire will not help the Kingdom of Falkenrich because of this, but just sell them a lot of face so that this country can be called a "kingdom".
On the other hand, the Duchy of Stasi is much better than the former: not only the three successive generations of dukes are ambitious and scheming rulers, but the most recently succeeded Grand Duke Jon is a young, promising and well-known Mowu Shuangxiu. The genius. In less than half a year, he released a series of positive and iron-blooded policies, and there is a trend to completely conquer Falkenrich!
Fakenridge’s royal family realized the danger of this increasingly powerful neighbor in the previous generation. However, Fakenridge faces many crises. There are great nobles in the country who cover the sky with their hands and domineering, and there are rebels and barbarians in the country. , The situation can be described as a mess.
　　Under this situation, the king and a few officials of the conscientious faction have spent all their energy just maintaining the situation without further deterioration, and it is impossible to use any means to counterbalance the increasingly powerful Principality of Stasi.
　　 To make matters worse, Bella’s brother, the eldest prince, is a brash man with a brain and muscles. Although he is superb, he can't even carry an army. Bella’s sister, the second princess, is addicted to pleasure all day.
　　 Once the old king falls, I'm afraid that the entire kingdom will be conquered instantly-this is the fact that Bella placed before her when she first learned about the international situation.
　　 On the same day, Bella made a rather amazing decision.
　　 She knew that her political methods were not clever, nor did she have the amazing talents of Grand Duke Jon in combat, and it was impossible to save the country by herself. Therefore, she took the initiative to take off the princess's gorgeous dress, put on an ordinary adventurer's dress, secretly left the palace, secretly looking for all kinds of strange people who can restore the situation.
　　 Obviously, Camilla and the others are the characters Bella had seen before.
　　 It’s a pity that the time left for Bella is still too short. When she just gathered the flame team together, she met the Tokamak faction led by Ai Luo...
　　 Ai Luo could see that to face the fact that her three years of hard work was turned into ashes, even if Bella made a rational expression, her eyes still showed a trace of unwillingness.
　　 "But your will is very strong," Ai Luo said quietly, "When killing that thief, it was very simple."
　　 "When I killed the first person, I was seven years old."
　　 Bella stared at the dragon, "My assassination is better than magic, you will see it."
　　 "Woman, I don't care about your assassination technique. It doesn't make sense to the dragon."
　　 Ai Luo snorted lightly, his eyes sharp as a knife.
　　 "You know, what I care about is... your condition."
　　 Bella smiled, and a decent smile quickly replaced the previous stubbornness: "I have accumulated some treasures in the three years of adventure. If I use them for my life, your Excellency should be interested."
　　 "Kill you, we can also find treasures."
　　 It was Weiss who interrupted Bella. This black and red young dragon did not know when it appeared like a ghost next to a big tree.
　　 "Sorry, you can only find the treasures of the three of them." Bella frowned and looked at the new dragon coldly.
　　Weiss ignored Bella, instead turning his attention to Ai Luo: "The food is given to them, and I want to compensate."
　　 "The previous gold coins, you can take away one thousand."
　　 Ai Luo said without blinking, he was obviously more concerned about Bella's condition than that of Weiss. Knowing the nature of the black dragon, he directly sent Weiss with a thousand gold coins.
　　 "Okay, let's go on, Your Royal Highness. Now we should talk about your freedom."
　　 Seeing Weiss disappear into the darkness silently as he came, Ai Luo spoke again.
　　 If you are someone who doesn’t know much about dragons, maybe you’re already scolding Ai Luo for being shameless at this moment: Doesn’t redemption of life mean redemption of freedom? What is the logic!
　　 However, Bella was clearly prepared, her expression did not even change.
　　 "I have a plan," she said briefly, "Although I must withdraw my freedom in advance, if it can be realized, you may gain more than you think."
　　 "Go ahead." Ai Luo gestured.
　　 "The Kingdom of Falkenrich needs help. I hope the Tokamak faction can turn the Icote Valley into a barrier between the two countries."
　　 Bella quickly explained that this idea was actually only thought of when she killed Maggie, but... there is no other way!
Don’t look at Ai Luo’s gentle and elegant demeanor, but she sees the cruelty and greed hidden in those dark eyes very clearly, once she can’t satisfy the other’s appetite, she’s afraid she will use herself in the next second. His body truly satisfies each other’s appetite.
　　 What's more, the colored dragons of the evil camp are often not very patient.
"If you allow me, I will return to Falkenridge immediately and announce in the name of the princess that Earl William's relic has been presented by the Blaze Team. In addition, we will regularly deliver the resources you need. You and you The faction does not even need to deliberately help us, just continue to develop according to your original ideas."
"I know."
　　 Ai Luo nodded noncommitantly, he understood Bella's meaning all at once-it seemed that this princess did have some skill... At least she understood that Ai Luo's current territory was indeed a bit conspicuous.
　　 The last time it was Wolf Warriors, this time it was flames. As long as people think that Earl William's relic is still here, there will be a steady stream of adventurers coming. If this continues, no one knows when the Tokamak will be unable to resist.
　　 And Bella's idea is also very good, to put it plainly is to attract firepower to Icourt Valley.
　　 Ai Luo's inheritance memory told him that the area near this valley is the main passage of the border between the two countries. If the Tokamak faction can control this area in its own hands, then Grand Duke Jon must give more consideration when sending troops.
After all, even a faction of young dragons can really develop to the extent of controlling a region, so unless the top adventurers are alarmed, the cost of destroying it will inevitably be so high that a principality needs to think twice. .
　　 After all, this so-called alliance, Bella is hoping that Ai Luo can buy time for Falkenrich.
　　 Doesn't she really want a dragon faction to be a true ally?
　　 Of course I do! However, she also thinks about the cost very clearly: now it is only the most shallow level of cooperation, looking at Ai Luo's appearance, she already needs her own bleeding...
　　 If you want to reach an offensive and defensive alliance with this faction, then the dragons will definitely require more things, and even like the dragons in some fairy tales, slowly overhead the country and then control it is not impossible!
Today, the Dragon Flame Empire, one of the four major empires, is undoubtedly such an example: in the Dragon Flame Empire, although it is nominally a covenant with the metal dragons, in fact, everyone can see that the metal dragons have already taken the imperial government Eating has become an empty shell. The actual power in this country is not the emperor, but the supreme leader of the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon!
　　 So, walking with a dragon is always a matter of both danger and opportunity, even if it is a metal dragon in the good camp. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The story of the bard telling by the people and the dragon fighting against evil is just a story after all.
　　 "This is the condition you just said, and what we need, please sign your name."
　　 After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Ai Luo quickly took out a piece of parchment and a magic pen from the void, brushed it a few times and wrote the contract, and handed it to Bella.
"this is……?"
　　 Seeing Ai Luo take out the pen and paper, Bella was stunned for a moment, and then when she saw the content of the contract, she couldn't help widening her eyes completely.
　　 Dragons rarely write, at least rarely on paper. This is mainly because their front paws are not as suitable for writing as human hands. However, looking at Ai Luo's appearance, it is obvious that he is very proficient in this skill.
　　And the font on the contract is quite beautiful-Bella swears that among the nobles in Fakenridge, there are few people who can write such good characters!
　　 The most important thing is the content of the contract. Ai Luo did not ask for a large sum of gold and silver jewelry as she expected, but a lot of food and building materials, and even books on various aspects of basic knowledge!
　　 This contract does not seem to have any literal traps, and the price of breach is only the more common "Bella's soul belongs to Ai Luo."
　　 Bella relaxes a little bit, at least... it's half done.
　　 "Well, where is your treasure?"
　　 Watching Bella sign the contract, Ai Luo nodded slightly, "Let me see how you are sincere?"
"Yes, the great lord, they are all in Castgate—the nearest town we came to." Bella pointed to a certain direction, "I will take them for Your."
　　 However, Ai Luo's next sentence once again exceeded Bella's expectations.
　　 "No, let's go together."
