When the sky is dark.
The inventory is completely completed.
Fifty-three boxes of gold coins alone were counted, each box containing 10,000 Nubao, plus scattered silver coins and copper plates, totaling 600,000.
In terms of the number of gold coins, even some ancient dragons would be ashamed.
This shows how many caravans the young red dragon, with the assistance of Sambian merchants, has caused in the past few decades.
At the same time, it can also reflect the busy trade on the East Road, and the caravans harmed by it are only a small part of them. Those who belong to Sambia, or those who have paid sufficient protection fees, have been let go.
Those who were harmed were only those who were in tit-for-tat opposition to the Sambian businessmen.
If enough memories can be extracted from the red dragon's corpse, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as being a disgusting Sambian businessman.
Because some chambers of commerce might not have been destroyed by Sambia, especially the chamber of commerce from Cormyr.
…
It wasn't just the Vizeme Manor that stayed up all night.
In Odulin, the capital of Sambia, a large number of people also stayed up all night.
Odulin is located in the heart of Sambia.
Except for the elves and the people of the valley, few people remember that this land once belonged to the Moon Valley, one of the valleys.
Sambian merchants used their vast wealth to carefully design the city, erasing all traces and memories of Moon Valley.
Viewed from the air, the city looks like a huge radiant pattern, with a central core composed of three huge buildings, and grand avenues like the rays of the sun radiating out from the core.
The building in the center is the auditorium of the Sambia Senate, the mouthpiece of the business class and the country's actual rulers, and many decisions about Sambia come from here.
To the left and right are the guard tower and the guardian gate.
Don't be misled by the name.
The Tower of Guards is not a station for soldiers, but the mint of Sambia. All Sambia currencies are minted here. Other cities do not have this right. Private mints are considered illegal and are taken into public ownership. .
A powerful army is stationed here all year round, and it is closely guarded. Even if a fly wants to fly in, it has to ask for their permission. They are only loyal to the merchant council, and even the commander-in-chief is not qualified to mobilize them.
The guardian gate is the Sambia treasury, which stores the commercial taxes paid by various cities and caravans in proportion every year to build various public facilities. It is said that the wealth inside is an astronomical figure, even the ancient dragon All salivate.
But so far, no giant dragon has dared to come and plunder.
It is normal for the Guard Tower and Guard Gate to be brightly lit every night.
The former is the minting of currency day and night, and the latter is the treasury guards taking turns patrolling.
It would be abnormal if the lights were on in the auditorium at night.
While silently telling the citizens of Odulin that something big had happened, something closely related to Sambia, the leaders of the merchant council were discussing countermeasures.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Our strategy is foolproof. How could the entire army be wiped out in just one afternoon? Especially when we sent a young red dragon. The half-elf only had less than a thousand people. He mainly relied on Those treants and pixies, is there an error in the message?"
"If there is an error in the first wave of news, what about the second wave and the third wave? This is already the fourth verification. There is absolutely no mistake. Not only the mercenaries were wiped out, but the red dragon is also dead!"
"The red dragon is also dead? Is this even more impossible? Does he have a powerful being in his hands that can fight against the red dragon?"
"According to the news that came back, it was the young lord named Gavin who did it himself!"
"This is even more nonsense. I have seen that lord with my own eyes. He is not yet twenty, and his professional level has not yet reached extraordinary. Where did he get the power to slay dragons?"
"I remember that in the newly released opera about wits against vampires, it was said that he once killed two drow vampires with one force, which shows that his strength is indeed extraordinary, and he may have a trump card that we don't know about."
"Things like opera are originally used to flatter people. It would be too naive for you to believe in this kind of thing."
"The opera is a lie. Won't Darnell and August, the judges of the Hammer of Justice, also deceive people? They have also publicly admitted the authenticity of the opera."
"The latest news, the latest news, the latest news, the dragon's lair in Thraxata has been found, it's in the Blood Corner."
"This cunning guy, I didn't expect to be able to play tricks under the light. Over the years, he has been pretending that he has a dragon nest in other places. The blood horn is just the impression he uses to contact us, and his feelings are all false."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and send a mage task force to transport the treasures from the dragon's nest back to make up for the loss of this failure. After so many years, this red dragon should have been fattened by us."
"It's too late, the dragon's nest has been emptied, not a single child is left."
"Impossible, this is impossible. It has only been midnight from the official start to now. Excluding the time to find the red dragon's nest, how long do they have to move a dragon's nest? Even if it costs two or three hundred thousand Nubao, how long can it take to move it out? , it’s not a simple matter, could the news be wrong? Is it a fake dragon’s nest that was discovered?”
"It can't be wrong, because the news came from a dragon-born servant in Thraxata. Not only has he served him for many years, but he also brought memories of the dragon's nest. There are mountains of treasures inside, and the gold coins are at least half a million Nubao. , he saw with his own eyes two people and two riders, led by the red dragon who was transformed into a ghost, entering the dragon's nest."
"Then how did he evacuate a dragon's nest in such a short period of time? Does he also have a mage task force like us equipped with a large number of teleportation staffs? No, you just said it would be two people and two people!"
"This is not right, that is not right, what is right?"
"If you have the ability, can you give me a reasonable explanation?"
"If I had a reasonable explanation, why would I still be here grinding my teeth?"
The entire Sambia Business Council was in chaos.
The news that came one after another was not inconsistent. It was not clear how the other party did it.
Originally, they thought that they had clearly seen the new little lord and the strength of the Three Rivers Land.
It's just a piece of fat for them this summer.
Who would have thought that this piece of fat would bite people.
Not only does it bite, it also hurts.
"The commander-in-chief is here, the commander-in-chief is here, the commander-in-chief is here!"
Following waves of shouts, a group of Sambia knights armed to the teeth walked in first and lined up in two lines, waiting for them to stand up.
A tall, thin old man walked in slowly.
He exuded an air of twilight, his eyes were cloudy, and his steps were slow. Even though he was wearing the most luxurious and fashionable clothes and the most expensive foundation on his face, he still couldn't completely cover the age spots on the exposed parts of his body.
This man's name was Odus Yamast, and he was the chief of the Sambia Merchant Council.
The Merchant Assembly implements an electoral system, and the finally elected ruler is the Grand Commander, with a term of seven years.
However, since there is no limit on re-election, once you become the commander-in-chief, you will generally work until death unless there are special circumstances.
This was apparently the case with Odus, who was secretly called the Immortal by many Sembian businessmen.
Especially those businessmen who were concerned about the position of commander-in-chief wished he would die soon.
But he is like this now, like a candle in the wind. It has been more than ten years, but it still remains the same, as if it is going to be extinguished, but it just won't go out.
Legend has it that his old age is not simply aging, but a terrifying aging magic that even the legendary priest cannot do anything about.
The more powerful this person is, the more he fears death.
The guards around him changed from two to four, four to eight, and now they became a small team.
It is said that the extraordinary warriors who guard him are not one small team, but two small teams, working in black and white shifts. There is always a small team that follows him day and night, including when he sleeps.
Many people are secretly criticizing, and being stared at by a group of people, can you sleep well?
Whether willingly or unwillingly.
The moment Odus entered the auditorium, all the members of the Merchant Parliament stood up and paid tribute to him.
Rather than respecting Odus, they respected the title of Commander-in-Chief and the merchant council system of Sambia.
Only by respecting this system and being the one who benefits from this system can we continue to maintain our current interests and maintain our current high position.
Whoever tries to shake up this system is their biggest enemy, whether external or internal.
"Everyone, sit down!" Odus's voice was as old as his appearance, muddy and slow.
Under the protection of many guards, he slowly walked to the rostrum in the auditorium and spoke again: "I believe you all already know the reason why you were called here overnight, but before that, I want you to see a few things first. A small image."
The Commander-in-Chief of Sambia waved his hand, and a guard walked to the stage holding a crystal ball.
Some knowledgeable Sambian congressmen recognized the origin of the crystal ball at a glance. It was a memory projection crystal ball.
It belongs to a set of magical instruments.
This is the mother body of this set of magical equipment, and he will play the image of the location of the child crystal he is holding.
This magical instrument is precious and rare.
Even the wealthy Sambia Business Council does not have a few sets.
It will only be used in some key battles.
Could it be said that the commander-in-chief secretly used this magical instrument?
The other party has already answered him with practical actions.
A huge image shot directly into the sky above the auditorium.
A holographic image appeared in front of everyone.
The mercenaries assembled in an orderly manner were waiting for the tall tree man to attack.
Even the well-informed members of the Merchant Council, many couldn't help but gasp.
Dozens of Treants and Enlightenment Trees, a number that sounds inconspicuous, can only feel the terrifying pressure when they face the charge with their heavy steps.
Within a few seconds, they heard the red dragon's unique roar coming from far away.
But in the next second, everything changed drastically.
The terrifying thunder and lightning rang directly in everyone's ears, making everyone feel as if they were on the shore of Yewen Pond and in the middle of a battlefield.
"Revenge Storm! This is a nine-ring spell!"
"There is a quasi-legendary druid or quasi-legendary priest present!"
"Who intervened? Which strong person intervened?"
"It's no wonder, it's no wonder. Those mercenaries were just cannon fodder to attract the enemy's attack. They couldn't withstand the bombardment of the nine-ring spell. No wonder they collapsed so quickly."
There are many knowledgeable people among the members of the Merchant Council, and they recognized the origin of this spell at a glance.
One by one, they couldn't help but discuss quietly with the people around them.
Most spellcasters can obtain ninth-level spell slots at level 18.
Once they successfully cast their first nine-level spell, they will be revered as quasi-legends.
Because it’s only a matter of time before they step into legend.
Not to mention there are no legends that suddenly appear, even quasi-legends don’t appear suddenly.
Every one of them is well-known to the big forces, and they are registered and paid close attention to.
Although most of them cannot be traced, after all, spellcasters who are extraordinary or above have begun to have teleportation skills, and they appear and disappear one by one, making it impossible to trace them.
Regarding the newly released Sir Gavin from Battle Valley, they have already found out everything inside and out. There is no news about which quasi-legend he is closer to, otherwise they would be more cautious.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
