"Similarly, compared with raw fish, rainwater, lamb chops, and fine wine, who is more delicious?"

"Think about it again, after you have wealth, although I don't know what your dragon clan's daily habits are, but don't you think that when you are under the sun and your scales are getting warm, there will be a group of human servants to help you

Isn't it wonderful to wipe every scale and make you shine? Cleanse your body with sesame oil to make your body fragrant and full of vitality. This is better than enduring the wind and rain on the island.

, let the noble and beautiful scales be dimmed by the wind and rain... What a huge gap this is."

The Dragon King hesitated for a while, then gently grabbed his chin with his front paws, and whispered: "It makes sense. We really can't and shouldn't destroy you humans. Without you, we really can't enjoy it.

There are too many things. Well...but you and us are enemies after all. If we cooperate with the enemy, our ancestors..."

The man in black said disdainfully: "Okay, that's enough, your ancestors? Come on, in today's world, who still remembers their ancestors? Isn't what everyone pursues the happy life now? That's right,

Our ancestors and your ancestors are indeed enemies of life and death, but we humans have forgotten those things. We don’t care at all who our ancestors fought desperately with, so why should you care?"

The Dragon King and the elders of the dragon clan looked at each other with serious expressions. After all, they are intelligent dragons who have inherited part of their memories from their ancestors. They will not give in easily.

The man in black sighed: "Okay, okay, I know what you are suspecting. You suspect that we are not sincere and that we are malicious to you. But think about it, if we humans really have malicious intentions towards you.

, what we appear on the sea now should not be just a small sailing ship, but a huge fleet, gathering five million high-level magicians to directly destroy the entire dragon with forbidden spell magic.

Island. But we did not do this. For the safety of our people, and for the blood of our two races to not flow in vain again, I came to you for peace talks with sincerity, and I even brought

There are so many jewels, are the jewels in front of you all fake?"

The Dragon King didn't speak, he was deep in thought.

The man in black said almost helplessly: "Well, okay..."

Just as he was about to add something more, an elder of the dragon clan, a green dragon with three long horns on its forehead, said in a low voice: "But, humans, maybe I should think that you don't dare to attack us, but use various methods to attack us."

You are tempting us with these conditions because you are afraid of our strength. It is impossible for you humans to defeat us, five million high-level mages? Do you have so many mages? What is the population of your entire continent?"

The man in black clucked his tongue in surprise: "Oh my God, do you doubt our strength? What are five million high-level mages? If necessary, we can mobilize 20 million mages of all disciplines. Don't you know?"

Except for the Bicester Empire, which has the smallest population, with less than 30 million people, the Vant Empire has a population of 270 million, the Wright and Dark Empires have nearly 200 million people, and the Reit and Leif Empires each have nearly 100 million people.

There are 50 million people, and our Smart Empire has a population of over 300 million."

The man in black comforted himself gently in his heart: "They don't know the specific situation on the mainland, so there should be no problem if they talk big words... Phew, God, the believers of the God of Wisdom you taught us are

You will never tell the truth."

He continued speaking loudly: "Our seven countries have more than 100,000 large and small temples, countless believers of various gods, and the number of priests, priests, and missionaries exceeds 70 million, and everyone has a level above

Magical power. Do you think that our power is weak? Especially since I can show you our power now."

The sea water parted with a 'swish', and a full 10,000 mages emerged from the water and flew high into the sky. At the same time, the front deck of the sailboat on the sea separated to the left and right, and a huge one, fifty feet high, appeared.

The pure black magic puppet slowly stood up, and surrounded by wind magic, it slowly flew up to Dragon Island and reached the sky above the area where they were discussing.

Ten thousand mages simultaneously activated the forbidden spell "Meteorite Falling from the Sky". Huge meteorites roared and landed on the sea fifty miles away from "Dragon Island". The sea suddenly boiled. And the magic puppet let out a

There was a howling sound, and the twenty-foot-long giant sword suddenly drew out, and a rock pillar was split into pieces in the flash of light.

The magicians' spells did not frighten the dragons. They could send out twenty flying dragons at will, and they could cast dragon spells with similar power, and even cast spells faster. But the magic puppet in front of them was

This made the Dragon King shout in surprise: "Dragon-slaying machine? You, you actually still have such a thing left? That, that is something that should have been completely destroyed during the God War."

The man in black waved his hand gently, and ten thousand mages flew towards the mainland without looking back, as if to show that they had no ill intentions towards 'Dragon Island'. And the so-called dragon-slaying machine,

He also opened the breastplate himself, disassembled the magic crystal inside, and then turned it into a stone and smashed it heavily on the ground. The man in black laughed: "Okay, now everyone can trust us.

Are you sincere? We...really have no intention of being an enemy to the Dragon Clan. Peace and development are the nation-building policies that humans on our continent are currently pursuing."

"Peace, friendship, mutual benefit, this is the code of conduct pursued by our countries. We all have a loving heart, and we will become our friends as long as they are not hostile to any race. We are not during the God War

Those human beings who are controlled by the gods and know nothing but war. We have our own ideas, our own considerations, a peaceful and prosperous life, this is what we need."

The dragons were a little excited, and they began to discuss in low voices. A golden dragon whispered in the Dragon King's ear: "If they really have such a powerful force, then it seems that it will not be difficult to destroy us again."

After all, we all know that our ancestors were defeated because there were too many humans. Otherwise, one of our tribesmen could kill at least a thousand humans... Now, their country has a population of hundreds of millions.

Oh, God, what a terrifying numerical unit that is... King, our current strength is not even as good as our ancestors at that time. Our population is too small to withstand the consumption of war."

Another blue dragon secretly said to the Dragon King: "Yes, yes, that's the truth. In order to prevent attacks, we are using magic to spawn 10,000 tribesmen. What a huge loss it is. If we can create a relatively stable environment,

By living in a favorable environment, we can slowly develop the strength of our clan."

Another green dragon said with endless aftertaste: "Wang, the things they gave are very good, especially the lamb chops, which are really delicious. Well, can we think about it and reach an agreement with them in the future?

What about a permanent non-aggression agreement? Then we can enjoy those things for a long time."

A black dragon that looked older than the Dragon King muttered: "I'm very interested in what he said about establishing our 'Dragon Island' country. Maybe our previous failures were because our Dragon Clan didn't establish something called "Dragon Island".

National things, well, maybe this is an opportunity. I remember those human countries were divided into many nobles, commoners, warriors and so on. Our dragon clan is too simple. In addition to the king, there are elders, and then there are the clansmen. Is this true?

Is it because we rarely develop?"

... ... ... ... ...

After a long discussion, the man in black sat bored under Duck's wings to block the scorching sun. In return for Duck, the man in black once again produced a few barrels of red wine and asked Duck to drink it.

His stomach was full. Duck, who was licking his tongue as he savored the delicious red wine, had already cast pitiful eyes on his father.

When the sun was about to set, the Dragon King finally drove away the elders beside him, coughed and spoke: "Very good, humans, we all feel that forming an alliance with you will not harm the interests of our dragon clan. This

It is a behavior that we can accept... As you said, what happened to our ancestors may just be a misfortune that broke out under the control of God, but this should not affect the relationship between our two races.

friendly relations. We should exchange what we need and develop mutually beneficial relations."

The man in black sat lazily on the ground, nodded and said: "Of course, respected patriarch, I agree with you too. I swear by the gods I believe in. You know, swearing in the name of gods is the most sacred oath.

Ah, we will never violate this oath. Well, I swear in the name of the gods that the seven countries on our continent and the Dragon Clan will form a permanent alliance, never attack each other, never betray each other, and always have a loving heart.

Get along with each other with your heart. This is the unification oath of our continental mankind. Now, it is your turn."

The Dragon King and a group of elders looked at each other. They continued to think for a while, and after carefully looking at the man in black, they stood up cautiously, pointed their heads seriously at the sky, and spread their wings behind them.

The Dragon King howled loudly: "Since you have made an oath in the name of the gods you believe in, then this oath is sacred and valid. Then, in the name of the founding god who created all things, we, the dragon clan, swear, and

Humans on the mainland have formed eternal allies. We will never betray, and we will never take the initiative to harm a human... Of course, if humans attack us, we will definitely fight back... Of course, if a member of the dragon clan takes the initiative to attack humans

, will be severely punished in accordance with human laws."

The man in black clapped loudly and cheered loudly. He quickly took out two large, thick pieces of parchment from his arms, along with a bottle of ink and a quill from somewhere, laughing.

Then he said: "Well, now here are the terms of our official covenant. As long as the patriarch and I sign our pledges respectively, our contract will be completed... Oh oh oh, it's not that I don't believe your oath, but I always

Do you want to get some evidence to show to other humans on the mainland? In order to avoid them saying that I embezzled a large amount of jewelry without meeting you, then I will be wronged."

The man in black took the initiative and explained the terms of the treaty eloquently: "First of all, this means that we are absolutely equal to each other. Of course, we do not deny that the Dragon Clan is in a strong position because they are out of friendship.

That's why they concluded a treaty with us." The flying dragons, whose self-esteem was satisfied, nodded with satisfaction.

"Then, there are some specific terms. I guess no one is interested in seeing the specific content of the terms. They are just that the Dragon Clan uses money equivalent to the market price to buy all luxury items from us, and we provide job opportunities for the Dragon Clan to

You can accumulate a lot of wealth... right? There is absolutely no problem with this. Look, who knows human writing? By the way, fortunately, for hundreds of thousands of years, at least some of us humans still remember this ancient writing.

, otherwise it will really be a trouble."

"Okay, okay, there is no problem with this clause, right? Then everyone can rest assured...The following is what I said. We help the Dragon Clan to build a Dragon Clan based on the model of a human country.

Countries, ah ha, by the way, our seven countries are also willing to cede a piece of fertile land on the mainland so that the Dragon Clan can live and work in peace and contentment on it. Of course, you can choose to live on Dragon Island and use that land as a villa. Occasionally

When you have free time, you can just go over and play. Of course, out of respect for our diplomatic allies, we cannot send troops to help you defend that land. You can consider putting a group of elite soldiers and generals there to maintain social order.

, isn’t it?”

"Oh, you are so generous and generous. There is absolutely no problem with this one. I swear, yes, you can understand this kind of writing. There is absolutely no problem. Don't worry. We all swear in the name of the gods.

After that, how could we break our promise? We Smart people also have the spirit of chivalry..."

"Aha, okay, here is a supplementary clause, that is, when we humans hire dragons to work, dragons should provide the greatest convenience, and we humans must not withhold the dragons' salary. Once the dragons complete the work, 'Satisfaction'

'Yes, after 'perfectly' meeting the employer's requirements, we must pay the salary on time, and we must not withhold the salary to wait for the next New Year, right? That is too unkind, and I believe we will never allow it.

What happened is that protecting the interests of the dragon allies is also protecting our own interests."

"Well, well, there is another place here. If the people of the Dragon Clan want to collect wealth, they must go through us. Of course, members of the Dragon Clan can use magic to search for various minerals underground, but since we humans are unanimously protecting the interests of the Dragon Clan,

I think you don't mind our little request. That is, we designate the mineral deposits, and the dragons who mine the minerals should pay us a little tax. Oh, it's actually very simple, that is, a little bit of land.

Expropriation tax (maybe our farmland and pastures are there, right? That's related to the income of lamb chops and wine.), well, a little municipal management fee, oh, yes, our managers,

We need to provide you with the best logistical services... As for other mineral value-added taxes, natural environment protection taxes, noise pollution compensation taxes for nearby people, etc., they are all minor issues and have nothing to do with them."

"Of course, since the taxes above have been agreed, then there is no problem with these taxes, right? Oh, that is, when you buy lamb chops and red wine, because your body is too huge and your consumption is too large, for our domestic

Related manufacturing industries such as lamb chops and red wine will create a malicious monopoly acquisition situation. In order to protect the interests of other businesses, there should be no problem in charging a certain purchase tax, right? Of course, we won’t charge too much, and we won’t charge too much.

I just want to give other businesses some psychological comfort."

"Really, the friends of the Dragon Clan are really too friendly. Do you all agree? Well, please sign... Oh, oh, oh, by the way, if it wasn't for this elder to remind me, I had forgotten that there is another sentence below.

That is to say, we must follow the common practice of our mainland humans, for the sake of social welfare facilities and social welfare issues for the disabled, orphans and widows, we must levy personal income tax on all members of society who are able to work. I swear, this is

Everyone has to pay, good, can you understand? That’s great, you know, we have a lot of children and elderly people to support, can you also understand the pain of raising children? Oh, my God, I

I finally found a soulmate... By the way, the dragon babies are really cute. If this little black baby didn't bite my thigh, it would be even cuter."

"Okay, Mr. Dragon King, you can draw the mark... Oh, my God, my God, how could I forget that there is such a line? Look, it is on the back. By the way, the clerk must have made a mistake.

Oh, he actually wrote it on the back. Oh, this one is very simple, it is because the nobles and our Smart Empire are bordering each other. After all, there is only two thousand miles of sea road between us, so we are still very close neighbors.
To be continued...
