This giant dragon indeed excels in strategy. While its combat skills leave much to be desired, its acun for making money is quite impressive.
However, its size is undeniably enormous; even curled up on the ground, it resembles a giant hill. Judging by its length, it's probably over 4,000 ters.
Rose subsequently leaped up from the dragon's neck, holding a dazzling Dragon Race reversed scale, and stood beside Lin Rui, saying, "I've taken it down; this Tier Eleven giant dragon is at least enough for the territory to feast for a few days!"
Lin Rui's lips curled into a smile, saying, "Very good, very good. Such a massive dragon, the fresh at it produces must be several hundred thousand tons, right? That's at least nearly ten million units of resources, enough to stabilize people's hearts for a few days."
Presto hurriedly got up, twitching at the corner of his mouth, anxiously saying, "You can't eat ! You can't eat ! I have an identity registered on Dragon Island, and if you eat , Dragon Island certainly won't let you off."
Lin Rui's gaze turned cold: "Are you threatening ?"
Presto quickly shook his head, the violent shaking tugged at the corner of his eyes, causing him to inhale sharply from the pain: "Hiss~ It's not a threat, not a threat. I just feel it's not worth it for you. Moreover, if you kill , won't my Dragon Nest treasures just benefit others? We're all Azure Realm forces, without much deep hatred, there's no need for this endless struggle. I can pay ransom for my release! My Dragon Nest is filled with wealth, it's inconvenient for you to take it now, but if you let go, I will certainly transfer a substantial amount of resources to you at the Divine Throne Banquet."
"This is far more worthwhile compared to killing . After all, even if you kill , aside from a few scraps of at, not much resources would blast fall. The giant dragon's treasures are all in the Dragon Nest, and I don't carry much on ."
"Is that so?" Lin Rui toyed with an Origin Treasure Chest, scanning this giant dragon up and down, saying, "But I think your greatest treasure seems to be on your person."
"Origin Treasure Chest!" Presto's eyes imdiately widened to the max, feeling paralyzed all over!
Why would an Origin Treasure Chest appear!
What has he been doing during Plane War?
And himself, exactly how muddled is his brain.
To conceive of running before such a high-level existence, courting death like this!
Seeing Lin Rui's unpleasant expression, he was so frightened that he continuously retreated: "Boss! Boss! We can discuss matters reasonably. Even if the Origin Treasure Chest is indeed precious, it's not priceless. It can be purchased with wealth."
"The treasures in my Dragon Nest are enough for you to buy more Origin Treasure Chests. Don't act rashly; whether I live or die doesn't matter, mainly so you avoid losses, which would be detrintal."
Alright, Lin Rui admitted he had so points there.
Slayers of dragons, isn't their main objective the vast wealth in the Dragon Nest?
Now if Lin Rui stabbed it to death with a sword, it would probably take an unknown amount of ti to reach its Dragon Nest, benefitting the forces near its Dragon Nest.
Slaying this giant dragon typically yields just about four or five items, considering various legacies and wealth on the dragon, the absolute maximum would be around a dozen items.
But the wealth inside its Dragon Nest amounts to billions, there might be dozens of Legendary Weapons, perhaps even Divine Artifacts or Divine Core Fragnts.
Seeing Lin Rui's inclination, Presto hurriedly remarked, "Boss, Boss, ease up on the killing intent. Between two forces contesting, it's not necessary to completely annihilate the opponent, especially when separated by millions of miles. Signing a compensation agreent better serves mutual interests."
This is a common occurrence in the Azure Realm; even when two allied forces fight an evil force, they commonly sign contracts dividing interests post-battle. Unequal distribution can even lead to disputes brought before the Judgent Court for arbitration by an empire Judge.
Presto was genuinely scared. Who are these people? At the slightest disagreent, they resort to annihilation.
Didn't I just burn a few of your leading citizens, without forcing a dead hand on your territory?
The contact and friction between the two forces can be resolved by fighting once and then signing an agreent. Is it necessary to fight to the death?
However, Lin Rui remained unsatisfied, scanning the giant dragon again, saying, "You burned dozens of my soldiers, and destroyed nurous buildings, do you plan to settle with so compensation?"
What else?
Just over a dozen soldiers, you lose more than that clearing monster camps.
Burning buildings, compensation seems the more fitting solution!
But Presto was internally shouting, though outwardly adopting a submissive stance: "If worse cos to worst, we can sign a vassal contract. Boss, as long as you don't unleash destruction, everything can be negotiated."
Vassal...
Lin Rui looked with surprise at the muffled giant dragon before him, this creature's survival instincts were truly maxed; as long as it could live, dignity was irrelevant.
Lin Rui contemplated briefly, saying, "Then let's sign a vassal contract."
Vassal forces are required to pay tributes to their Sect Leader each cycle, and Lin Rui can adjust each vassal's obligations, demanding tributes of wealth, soldiers, or even territory!
Previously, Golden Pansy Domain had a batch of vassal Feudal Domains.
This Legendary Giant Dragon Presto, although currently alone in the Golden Pansy Domain, has forces of its own, with subject races and territorial domains.
By adjusting its vassal tax, Lin Rui could collect hundreds or even a few thousand soldiers, and potentially gain hundreds of miles of territory.
"Signing a vassal contract doesn't negate the need for compensation."
Presto dripped his dragon blood onto the contract Caroline handed over, nodding repeatedly, saying, "Of course, of course. A vassal contract is part of the agreent."
Before finishing his words, Presto widened his eyes.
[Ding, you've acquired the subordinate trait from Golden Pansy Domain, Blessing of the Goddess of Fortune: All citizens' fortune 1, all probability chanism judgnts have a fixed probability increase of 0.5%]
[Ding, you've acquired the subordinate trait from Golden Pansy Domain, Martial Spirit: Physique 2, Will 2, Root Bone 2, Soul 2, Life Value 100, Damage Reduction 1%]
[Ding, you've acquired the subordinate trait from Golden Pansy Domain, Celestial Country: All resource points output 25%, agriculture, fishery, hunting, gathering output 25%, logging, mining, and other industrial resources 50%, probability of all types of natural disasters -100%.]
What level of protection is this?
If all resource points output 25%, abundance of various resources 50%. Presto calculated with his dragon claw, it's possible that even after paying tributes, the remaining wealth might exceed before. Dragon Nest's treasure growth would continue!
Of course, this effect is significant now that he's within Golden Pansy Domain.
Once he's thousands of miles away, whether his territory can actually yield such effects remains to be seen.
He desperately wished to leave now, but Lin Rui clearly didn't want him to, saying, "I've already inford the territory; they plan to feast on Legendary Giant Dragon at. As a vassal, consider how to alleviate the Sect Leader's concerns."
Presto hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth, harshly severing his tail, letting the enormous dragon tail of over a thousand ters fall before the domain's palace plaza.
"Boss, this thousand-ter dragon tail also has several million units of fresh at."
Lin Rui glanced at him, attempting survival through a severed tail, quite the daring move.
"Boss, can I leave now?"
"Not yet."
Being rejected again, Presto internally writhed, questioning why he subjected himself to bone-picking and flesh-stripping here over one Legendary Weapon, one dragon egg?
But this ti Lin Rui truly misunderstood him; Lin Rui wasn't keeping him to extort further, but was considering that if Wutong lashed out in anger, he could swiftly flee on this dragon's back.
Once arrangents were complete, he had to deal with Wutong.
