Chapter 225 A Red Dragon (Part 4)
Luther has always been a curious and bold guy.
So he asked: "Excuse me, why does the Mountain Eagle need gold coins?"
The Mountain Eagle looked at Luther very calmly, and then said: "A red dragon brought her cubs to a crater near Eagle Mountain to build a nest. She charged us 200,000 gold coins for protection. The king couldn't beat her, so he didn't choose to suppress her by force and sent me here."
In fact, it didn't come to find Luther specifically, because the Eagle King didn't ask about Luther's origins, so naturally he didn't know where Luther was.
The Mountain Eagle just flew north and landed when it passed the first city.
But the Mountain Eagle obviously remembered Luther, after all, their king gave an unprecedented ten snow flowers.
And the Mountain Eagles obviously also understood the value of the snow flowers, so they brought fifteen snow flowers in exchange for 200,000 gold coins.
The extra part is considered as labor fees for humans.
Luther and the other two were stunned after hearing this. A red dragon robbed a group of mountain eagles, and succeeded.
The Eagle King didn't even fight, and chose to surrender immediately.
Lawful creatures are indeed a group of rational creatures.
Then the three people of the Pompeii family felt a little worried, because Pompeii Castle had been breached by dragons many times in history.
Dragons plundered wealth and caused casualties.
Eagle Mountain is not close to Pompeii, but not far away. It is definitely within the deterrence range of a red dragon.
Now the key is whether this red dragon wants to come to the human world to rob.
Because since the rise of humans, many dragons know that robbing humans is a risky thing. Maybe they can't rob and are killed by dragons.
However, robbing humans or being killed by dragons still happens repeatedly.
It depends on the age of the dragon.
The five kinds of dragons, red dragons, blue dragons, green dragons, black dragons, and white dragons are extremely greedy and evil. They are also very irritable, irritable, and believe in their own strength.
The younger the dragon, the more eager it is to show its strength and start a war. Of course, it also causes a high mortality rate. When a five-colored dragon gets older, they will choose to rob wealth in other ways.
For example, collecting protection fees.
Just like this time when the red dragon blackmailed the mountain eagle.
But this is not absolute. Whether the red dragon robs humans depends on what the red dragon thinks.
In short, the red dragon is definitely one of the most difficult creatures in the world.
By the way, because dragons constantly rob humans of gold coins, and before they die, dragons will find a secret place to bury themselves and their wealth.
So although humans continue to discover gold mines, the value of gold has been very stable and has not depreciated.
In this respect, dragons are like the banks of this world, stabilizing the value of currency.
Amen.
But worrying is worrying, and worrying is useless. Because this red dragon with a cub, since even the Eagle King chose to surrender, it is impossible to defend with Pompey's power.
Even the Count of Libya may not be able to stop such a powerful dragon.
If the other party came to collect protection fees, Luther could only accept it and pay taxes obediently.
Damn, the lord also has to pay taxes.
Terrible.
Let's not talk about these first. Luther would naturally not refuse the request of the Alpine Eagle. Let's not talk about anything else. Just talking about the last time with the snow flower, Luther should also help this group of lawful creatures.
"Okay, please wait for a day, I will go to collect gold coins." Luther picked up the snow flower on the ground and took over the matter.
"Thank you, human." The Alpine Eagle said gratefully.
"You're welcome, Mr. Alpine Eagle." Luther also said.
There was no place in the castle to entertain the Alpine Eagle, so Luther could only let the Alpine Eagle stay outside the castle, and then Luther sent his father to Kaiyue City to borrow 200,000 gold coins.
In the past, my father's face was useful, and now the face of the great knight's father is even more useful.
There was no way to borrow money, because neither Luther nor his partners had any money. The 200,000 gold coins that Luther earned from selling flowers had already been spent.
Only Baron Philip still had money.
And selling Xueming flowers takes time, and distant water cannot save nearby fires. However, after Luther sent his father, he still took 15 Xueming flowers to Alice Ranch in the west of the city and asked Miss Alice to help sell the batch of Xueming flowers.
From a business perspective, Luther still made a profit from this deal.
Because 15 Xueming flowers are worth 300,000 gold coins. After deducting the 200,000 gold coins he gave to Alpine Eagle, he still made a small profit of 100,000 gold coins.
Well, for Luther, who now has a big family, 100,000 is just a small amount of money.
When Luther came to Alice Ranch, the beautiful Miss Alice was wearing a tight suit, a horse hat, riding a white purebred horse, and walking leisurely on the open pasture.
The Thoroughbred is a very valuable breed of horse.
Purebred horses are just a concept, not a classification. Because there are many types of purebred horses, such as Prussian purebred horses.
Purebred horses are called purebred horses because humans only allow them to breed with horses of the same breed.
Once mixed, they are no longer purebred horses.
Purebred horses are generally used as excellent racehorses and mounts for nobles.
Excellent hounds and pet dogs are also exclusive to nobles.
Alice's business is gambling, gambling that the future metropolis of Pompeii will have a lot of wealthy nobles.
In fact, the money earned from this business is only a small amount of money, but not as good as real estate. At present, Miss Alice has obtained a piece of land and is starting construction.
I believe that as long as Pompeii develops into a city, she will become a rich woman.
"How do you have time to come to my place to play?" Miss Alice looked at Luther who was riding a horse, and then asked Luther while sitting on the horse without getting off the horse.
Lack of manners, education, and casually exuding hormones.
This is the advantage of the great eldest daughter of the baron.
Luther didn't want to get off the horse and look up at the lady, so he could only sit on the horse and communicate with her helplessly.
"I have fifteen snow flowers. Can you help me sell them?" Luther took a bag from behind the horse and opened the bag to reveal ten snow flowers.
This kind of flower is Miss Alice's jewelry, and Miss Alice is very familiar with it.
"You actually got fifteen more snow flowers?" Miss Alice said jealously, her beautiful big eyes turned red.
If you can get snow flowers from the hands of the Alpine Eagle without limit, then what other business can you do? Just selling snow flowers can make you a top rich man.
Because Alice will always remember that there are hundreds of snow flowers floating on the top of Eagle Mountain.
It's so beautiful.
That's the beauty of gold.
