Chapter 488 You see if she wants money or a son(1/2)
To be honest, Li Wei really didn't expect the proactive overtures or even weakness from Nether Ember City, let alone that Ms. Fudu would send Kangevian, his 'baby son', to him.
Out of instinctive defense, Li Wei immediately thought about what other evil intentions the other party was planning.
But on second thought, it seemed unnecessary.
Without him, Zeelandia has experienced rapid development for half a century, and now the economic and comprehensive strength of both parties are completely different.
Even if Lady Corruption is the overlord of the Underdark, it would be difficult for her to radiate her tentacles to the surface.
For this point, you can refer to the group of drow in Gelthorne.
Following Rose's call, this group of little gangsters have been fighting back against the mainland all day long, but they have been around for thousands of years and still haven't been able to organize a decent action.
Rose's equally chaotic mind has no idea what she is thinking all day long. If it were a normal god of the race, he would either be mad at the unsatisfactory drow, or he would have screwed the drow long ago.
It has become the most dangerous dark force.
Of course, the most likely possibility for the latter is to be eradicated in advance by forces that believe they will be threatened.
But Levi broke this limitation.
As a force that also took root and developed in the Dark Region, Li Wei gained recognition from Silver Moon City and Jishui City through "changing vests", large-scale immigration introduction, and interest bundling, and became a member of the surface forces in the North.
This is a development trajectory that is almost impossible to replicate.
Because the premise is...Li Wei is really a genuine silver dragon that conforms to the mainstream society's view of lawful development on the surface.
Things like identity can sometimes be so evil.
Just like Blue Star's Three Kingdoms era, even in the depths of troubled times, if you come from a noble family and from a poor family, there are two completely different treatments when you go out to hang out.
And if you are a Huns or Qiang people from outside the Great Wall, I'm sorry, don't talk about raising an army in the Central Plains. If others don't disagree with you and chop you to death, you will be considered polite to you.
Because of adhering to the legacy of the Han Dynasty, no one regarded these barbarians as human beings at all.
But if you think about it this way, the problem comes again. If someone with an identity like Li Wei is placed in the Dark Area, there is a high probability that he will be directly kidnapped to make hot pot... just like when Li Wei just broke out of the shell.
Similar.
Thinking back on this, Li Wei suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling.
At the same time, he had to admit that Savivian, the ancient black dragon, did have his own wisdom in survival.
At least, the other party is weighing the pros and cons as a lord.
From this height, the opponent's camp and even his likes and dislikes towards you are no longer as important as subjective matters.
The interests and development of the city-state are the most important!
From the perspective of Ember City, how can we maximize our own interests?
Of course, they will do whatever it takes to get on the last train of Zeelandia, which is integrating the resources of the entire Northland to prepare for development across the ages!
Levi also had no reason to refuse.
Ember City can become an underground city-state as famous as Gelthorne and Iron Molten City, so it naturally has its own unique advantages.
The Screaming Valley, sandwiched between the Dark Lake and the Fungal Forest and full of poisonous mist and miasma, is also a rich source of various magical gems throughout the North.
Some people even suspected that under the throne where the corrupt lady lay, there was a mine full of associated magical gems.
This is a genuine mining and soil boss!
However, due to the backward mining, cutting and processing technology, the output of Ember City can only be considered limited. In addition, there is no direct export path, and the price has been kept very low by middlemen such as drow or human caravans.
Therefore, Levi was very suspicious that when Ms. Fudu and her family rushed into the Nether magic ship, she was trying to collect some ready-made technology to improve the technology related to her family's mining industry.
But these are not very important now.
With the advanced technology accumulated by Zeelandia Hog Mining's one-stop mining, smelting, forging and other industries, it is at least two generations ahead of its peers.
Savivian must have understood this, and while he worked hard on research and development but was crushed, he simply broke the pot and smashed it - let's just export raw materials honestly.
Anyway, with the abundant mineral resources in Screaming Valley, selling her to become a Taikoo Dragon City is not a big problem...
If she really becomes a Taikoo Dragon one day, it seems that the current problems will not be a problem...
As for the placement of this black dragon...
Li Wei looked at Kangevian who was slumped on the ground, with a face full of hesitation and despair, and empty eyes, and suddenly felt funny.
I wondered how a strong female dragon like Savivian could give birth to such a weird thing, but she was so fond of this youngest and most cowardly son.
After thinking about it, Li Wei asked with interest:
"Do you have any objections to your mother's arrangements?"
Suddenly hearing Li Wei's voice, Kangevian trembled slightly, as if he was afraid to look directly into the eyes of this 'enemy of this life', and whispered with evasive eyes:
"Since I am a dragon, do you provide food and accommodation here?"
"..." Levi was immediately stunned.
Calvin, who was in the shadows on the side, also choked and coughed.
Due to the face problem of being a city lord, Li Wei instinctively prepared to agree with a wave of his paw, but stopped midway.
Damn...it's fine if you're a drow, you won't be able to eat much food if you let him eat for a month.
But this guy is just like me, a real dragon!
Levi was sure that if he dared to agree, with this guy's brain circuitry, he would probably eat in a revengeful way with the brain circuitry that would bankrupt him.
In one month, I am afraid that I can eat the food rations of a thousand-man battle group!
If this hole is opened, in the future, five-color dragons may come to Zelandia in various disguises, hoping to eat and die here...
Li Wei is sure that there is definitely a five-color dragon who can do such a thing!
Almost as soon as Levi thought this, Sigard, who looked troubled, ran in and reported:
"Your Majesty! The warden of the underground special prison asked me to ask you for advice on how to deal with the ancient red dragon."
"Ancient red dragon?"
Li Wei had a question mark. When did he catch an ancient red dragon?
Sigard was speechless and said: "The person who is planning to rob our bank's reserves before today's ribbon-cutting ceremony is named... Hu Enda."
Li Wei slapped his forehead, as if there really was such a person who wanted money rather than his life, and asked:
"What happened to that red dragon?"
Sigard replied numbly: "Classic warden reaction, that guy ate all the food rations in the entire underground prison in one day... He is still shouting about hunger, and most of Zelandia can hear that guy
The dragon is roaring...The noise has seriously affected the work and rest of the underground residents, and even the Arcanist of the Demon Research Institute has reported it."
Levi thought for a moment and said, "I'll figure out a solution for this bastard later. Now, let's close the door and let Alley go, and give him a good beating to make him more honest."
Hearing this tough answer, the transparent Kangevian felt himself shrinking again, feeling more and more that he was seeking death during this trip.
I haven’t seen other dragons treat an ancient red dragon so rudely.
Even Sigard, who was one of his own, was sweating profusely after hearing this;
"But His Highness Alley hasn't entered the legend yet. He is an ancient red dragon."
Levi waved his hand and showed a mysterious smile:
"It doesn't matter, the magic confinement trap is still a while away from being ineffective. Besides, if that lazy little guy Ai Li wants to enter the legend, it's just a matter of turning her head. Let her get familiar with the mount first. She should be able to
If you like this gift, by the way, give this dragon some blood first to make him be more honest. As for the dragon blood, package it and send it to the Demon Research Institute. They should use it for their recent projects."
Sit, sit, sit?
Gift?
Kangevian's entire dragon was dumbfounded.
Sigard nodded thoughtfully and excused himself:
"Do your will."
Only then did Li Wei's eyes fall on the confused Kangevian again. He spread his paws and said legitimately:
"As you can see, the city lord's family doesn't have any food left."
Kangevian said with despair:
"But I have no money anymore."
Li Wei narrowed his eyes, and his vertical pupils revealed a golden light:
"Then where did your money go?"
Kangevian said pitifully: "I deposited it in your bank...the deposit certificate was lost on the way."
Li Wei immediately felt an incredible sense of absurdity, that a five-color dragon really came to him to save money...
For this reason, he was too embarrassed to keep the money secret, and said a little funny:
"You used a fake identity when you were depositing money, right? But it doesn't matter. I'll have someone accompany you to the bank later to report the loss. Don't worry, the money won't be lost. Otherwise, my bank would be just a decoration."
"Really!?" Kangevian's originally dead eyes finally had a hint of life.
To be continued...
