Chapter 23 Bargaining (asking for double monthly votes)
After Ijeona left.
Saga turned around to look at the damaged short wooden staff, the stainless steel sword and other items. He hugged them all, waved his dragon wings, and flew towards the towering Yakan volcano in the rising air.
During the flight, the little dragon looked down.
The dense forest centered around the Yacan volcano is lush and green.
Since Saga was not flying very high now, but only flying at a low altitude, the dense and prosperous tree crown branches were brushed by the air flow between the wings of the young dragon, making a rustling sound while shaking.
Some leaves flew off the branches and followed behind the young dragon.
quickly.
The forest smell that entered the nose was gradually replaced by a faint smell of sulfur.
The Yacan volcano is right in front of you.
Yakan Volcano is an extinct volcano, towering tall into the sky. It has not erupted for thousands of years, so lush dense forests can grow around it. Even in today's winter, this forest with dense magical vegetation is still lush.
There is the palace and fortress of the Red Dragon Girl on the top of the mountain.
The treasure house of the Red Flame Queen is said to be deep in the palace on top of the volcano.
But the location of the dragon's nest where Saga and Yekarina were raised was almost halfway between the top of the mountain and halfway up the mountain, not inside the palace.
For some reason, the Red Dragon Lady never lets Saga and Yekarina go to her mountaintop palace.
She herself only went to the palace on the mountain occasionally, and lived in the dragon's nest most of the time.
Little Saga curiously asked the Red Dragon Lady, but the Red Dragon Lady was not interested in answering.
A few minutes later, the beautiful young dragon that looked like diamonds gathered its wings and landed on the edge of the dragon's nest.
Saga trotted all the way and shouted: "Mother, I have dealt with the reptiles that invaded your territory."
Deep in the dragon's lair, a pair of red pupils emerged from the shadows.
The majestic body of the Red Dragon Lady lay prone on the warm ground and said to Saga: "My child, I am proud of you."
She seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on her lips.
Saga put the stainless steel sword, short wooden staff and other things in his arms on the ground, leaving only the magic weapon revolver with a relatively delicate and complex structure as a collection. After thinking about it, he smiled and said to the Red Dragon Lady: "Mother, these are my trophies. Can I trade them with you for a magic gem?"
"A pebble-sized onyx will do."
The little dragon held the tip of the Red Dragon Girl's tail and shook it gently.
The red dragoness raised her slender tail and carried the little dragon holding the tip of her tail directly to her eyes.
"Oh? Greedy little guy, aren't those gold and silver coins you have hidden enough to satisfy you?"
The red dragon lady's eyes swept across the scales on Saga's neck, and a half-smile appeared on the dragon's face.
"Many baby dragons don't even have a single copper coin in their collection when they are this big."
This is true.
A young dragon that is just one year old has no chance of obtaining treasure under normal circumstances.
Saga smiled coquettishly, still holding the tip of Red Dragon Lady's tail, swaying it left and right in the air, and said: "Mother, just one, I want one. If it doesn't work, you can give me a half-broken one." Magic gems will work too.”
Compared with gold and silver coins, magic gems are more valuable, have scarce mineral deposits, and are deeply loved by real dragons.
There are many ordinary gems, and their value is relatively average. For real dragons, they are just more beautiful stones. Only very poor dragons will use ordinary gems to decorate their dragon nests, mix them with a few magic gems, and pretend that they own them. A lot of wealth.
Magic gems that can absorb elemental energy are truly rare.
All high-quality weapons, whether they are staffs, warrior swords, exotic weapons, guns, etc., require the use of magic gems as core materials, some advanced spell scrolls, constructs, elemental towers, etc. , also requires magic gems.
"Well, let me take a good look at these things of yours."
The Red Dragon Lady stretched out her huge dragon claws and pulled the trophies brought by Saga a few times.
"Half a piece of red onyx, about sixty grams, in exchange for these messy trophies of yours."
Red Dragon Lady said with a smile.
In terms of overall value, half a piece of red agate is roughly the same as Saga's miscellaneous trophies. However, under normal circumstances, no creature would be willing to exchange a highly valuable magic gem, even half of it, for some low-level ones. Equipment of little use.
The Red Dragon Lady's love for this dragon cub is already obvious.
"What do you think, my child?"
As she spoke, the Red Dragon Lady shook her tail slightly, and a soft force shook Saga down.
With a thud, the little dragon sat down on the ground. At the same time, because he heard the words of the Red Dragon Lady, the immature dragon's face couldn't help but reveal a smile of joy.
Saga raised her head and looked up at the majestic Red Dragon Lady.
His eyes rolled, and then he acted coquettishly at the Red Dragon Lady. He ran over and rubbed the Red Dragon Lady's claws vigorously, saying: "Well, can one hundred grams be okay? My good mother, give it to me. Let’s put it all together.”
After hearing Saga's words, the Red Dragon Lady couldn't help laughing. The deep and magnetic dragon roar swept out of the dragon's nest, making many creatures stiffen and dare not move for a long time.
After a few seconds, the laughter stopped.
The red dragoness stretched out her claws and gently stroked the young dragon's head.
"Little Saga, I like your greed."
As the red dragon, the leader of the five colored evil dragons, the nature of the red dragon is violent, greedy, ferocious, and fearless. The reaction of the red dragon girl is natural. If Saga shows kindness and generosity, the red dragon girl will be angry and dissatisfied.
Under the surprised gaze of the young dragon, the Red Dragon Lady changed the subject and said, "However, a real dragon will never make a loss-making business."
"Half a piece of red agate, in exchange for these trophies of yours."
"Deal?"
The little dragon failed to bargain, but he was not depressed. He nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice and said: "It's a deal, it's a deal."
As he spoke, he pushed a bunch of messy things toward the Red Dragon Lady.
At the same time, the surrounding space distorted, ripples appeared, and a deep crack visible to the naked eye was quickly formed, more than ten meters long, wide in the middle and narrow on both sides.
Under Saga's curious gaze, the Red Dragon Lady put her dragon claw into the crack and groped around for a while.
Just a few seconds later, a half piece of red agate, which was only one-third the size of Saga's tiny scales, was taken out by the Red Dragon Lady.
"Saga, you have to remember."
"If there is a dragon that is willing to make a loss-making deal with you, then it must be secretly planning something that you don't know about, and it is probably harmful to you rather than beneficial to you."
Although Thorn Island is now under the rule of dragons, there are still some bold maritime trading merchant ships passing by this island, risking their lives to negotiate with the Red Dragon Lady, and exchange money for the fallen minions of the monsters in the Red Dragon Lady's territory. Fur scales, magic materials contaminated with dragon scent, etc. Since this can bring long-term benefits to herself, the Red Dragon Lady accepted the merchant ship trade. She occasionally buys some drinks, food, and magic equipment that require precision processing. Armor and other supplies for the family members to wear.
Dragons are misers, but they are not always in and out.
Dragon does not reject transactions that are beneficial to him.
"This principle also applies to other races."
While handing the red agate fragment to Saga, the Red Dragon Lady spoke calmly in a low voice.
Saga nodded seriously and said, "I understand, mother."
The inheritance of dragons is not omnipotent. The dragon lady who belongs to the five-color dragon occasionally imparts her experience of dragon birth to the little evil dragon. As for whether the young dragon can understand and learn it, it is not within the scope of the dragon lady's consideration.
The Red Dragon Lady nodded slightly, and then her huge body stood up amidst the slight tremors of the ground.
At the same time, the Red Dragon Girl extended her dragon wings, and the dragon wings that covered the sky and the sun left a shadow, covering Saga.
"Stay in the dragon's nest and don't go out for the time being."
When the Red Dragon Lady is not in her territory, she never lets Saga and Yekarina leave the dragon's nest.
After the explanation, the red dragon lady shook her dragon wings and left the dragon's nest in the strong wind. She didn't know what she was doing outside.
