Chapter 1306: Chapter 702: Dragon’s Breath Tremor Bombs
After linking the regeneration necklace, the juvenile Red Copper Dragon couldn’t put it down, playing with it while exclaiming repeatedly, “Ten points of regeneration! Three daily uses of regeneration techniques! Three uses of cure spells! Three uses of mass healing of fatal injuries! One use of mortal deflection! It’s too powerful! No wonder it costs three hundred thousand gold coins—it’s definitely worth the price!”
Just this one magic necklace is worth several tis the treasure of my Dragon’s Nest.
Aivensa jumped up and ran to Gaven, planting a heavy kiss on his cheek, and loudly declared, “Gaven truly is my favorite person, always so good to , hahaha…”
Gaven started to feel a headache coming on. It seed necessary to find a few instructors for Aivensa to teach her so etiquette.
So behaviors, while acceptable when sporting the appearance of an adorable seven or eight-year-old girl, seem rather inappropriate under the guise of a youthful and radiant seventeen or eighteen-year-old young lady.
While carefully storing away the Moon of Resurgence, Aivensa pretended to ask nonchalantly, “Where’s Roderick? Why haven’t I seen that bad dragon?”
“I assigned him to an external task.”
“What external task? When will he be back?” Aivensa asked with a look of disappointnt.
It wasn’t that her relationship with the juvenile Red Dragon had improved; she still held on to that childish competitive mindset.
In this world, there are two kinds of people you brag to most enjoyably.
One is your closest friends and family, and the other is your enemies or rivals.
Especially the latter—boasting in front of soone who once overshadowed you but whom you’ve now surpassed brings unparalleled satisfaction.
“He won’t be back anyti soon, but if there’s a chance, I’ll take you to see him.” Just like before Dragon Sleep, Aivensa’s every thought was written plainly on her face, making it easy for Gaven to read her completely. Thus, he had to use stalling tactics.
He didn’t even dare to ntion that the juvenile Red Dragon was now guarding an automated silver refining production line, as that would undoubtedly invite a flurry of questions. Getting entangled in the curiosity of a Red Copper Dragon is a thoroughly troubleso affair.
“No need to wait until later; I have the ti now, so let’s go right away.” The juvenile Red Copper Dragon feigned ignorance, directly disregarding the deeper aning of Gaven’s words and interpreting them literally.
“You might have ti, but I don’t.” Gaven refused firmly; he wouldn’t indulge Aivensa’s impulsive habits.
“You should’ve said so earlier.” Aivensa’s face imdiately fell.
“Here’s a task for you: go fully recruit the Gnolls across the Rocklands. For every Gnoll you recruit, I’ll pay you an additional gold coin—settled on the sa day, no delays.” Gaven decided to use an old trick to distract her. Nothing is more effective than gold coins.
As for the Gnolls in the Rocklands, Gaven had no intention of leaving them unclaid.
And for such a mission, having a True Dragon take the lead was the quickest solution.
Aivensa’s eyes imdiately lit up with golden glints as she asked, “You an additional paynt? The annual salary we originally agreed upon stays the sa?”
“It stays the sa,” Gaven confird.
So things lose value as one’s own status and wealth grow.
The ten-thousand-gold annual hiring agreent he initially signed with Aivensa seed exorbitantly high at the ti.
Now, it’s nothing more than a drop in the bucket for Gaven; he could casually produce a piece of magic item that would make Aivensa work for him for three years.
Yet Gaven had no intention of unilaterally altering the employnt contract just because his worth had multiplied many tis over. A True Dragon’s greed in such matters is insatiable; no matter how much you give, they’d only be satisfied temporarily before trying to seek even more.
The real strategy was keeping her in the dark about his fortune and making full use of her current economic system.
Aivensa’s understanding of gold coins was still stuck at pre-Dragon Sleep levels: one gold coin per Gnoll—a deal she saw as incredibly lucrative.
After all, she just had to roar at the entrance of those Gnoll caves, and dozens or even hundreds of Gnolls would eagerly follow her back to her territory.
The Rocklands are so vast; there must be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of these little critters—no, little darlings.
Aivensa could already envision her Dragon’s Nest filling up with gold coins at a visually perceptible rate, making her Dragon’s Nest treasure the largest among all juvenile dragons in Felen.
Oh!
She’s already the richest among her peers; just this Moon of Resurgence alone would be enough to keep many Giant Dragons striving until adulthood.
She truly was sharp-eyed back then, choosing such an exceptional agent for herself. Even during her Dragon Sleep, her influence continued to grow, and her Dragon’s Nest treasure kept accumulating steadily.
Gaven had indeed honored his word; the paid Dragon Sleep he had promised Aivensa—given his strong growth montum—was worth delivering without resorting to petty tricks with a Giant Dragon. The re extraction of a small portion of cash from Blackwell Town had been more than sufficient.
After so brief thought, Gaven said, “There’s another investnt opportunity with massive returns. Not sure if you’d be interested in hearing about it.”
“An investnt with massive returns?” Aivensa instinctively clutched her small purse tightly, as though protecting her Dragon’s Nest treasure.
“It only takes six months to see at least three to five tis the return. But if you miss this chance to make money, don’t bla for not telling you.” Gaven was all too familiar with the quirks of dragons.
It wasn’t that he was eyeing the cash in Aivensa’s Dragon Nest—he was simply laying the groundwork in advance.
Not informing her of profitable ventures was one thing.
