Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

Duke Aiden hurried forward, bowed politely, and then said loudly: "Good day, Mr. Hermit.

Thank you for your help to the family, and welcome to Silver Castle. It is our honor to have you here."

"Good day, Mr. Hermit."

The chief wizard Kaushik and the three knights behind him also saluted respectfully and greeted in unison.

After chatting along the way, Heloise did not seem so restrained, just smiled and said: "See you again, Mr. Hermit"

"You are the Duke Aiden mentioned by Miss Heloise.

The Hermit just nodded and looked around the people in the hall, and finally looked at the Duke Aiden.

The people of Silver in the hall did not know that in the deep green eyes of the Hermit, or Cassius, they were like naked, without any secrets - that was the crushing of the essence of life.

As a red dragon with ancestral blood, that is, Even though he is an incarnation, Cassius also possesses a life essence far stronger than theirs.

[Duke of Plantagenet - Aiden (Professional Level: Battle Master 12)]

[Silver Blade - Simon (Professional Level: Champion Warrior 20)]

[Master of Mysticism - Kaushik (Professional Level: Mage - School of Spells 19)]

[Leader of the Mithril Hand - Feodor Pate (Professional Level: Rune Warrior 16)]

“Tsk tsk, it is worthy of being the continent of Feanso where gods and demons fight each other. Even a noble who controls some cities can have such strength. "

Browsing the information on the panel, Cassius couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

A sub-legendary warrior, a great wizard close to legend, and several powerful warriors of the same extraordinary level.

The power that the Silver family showed him alone was so much.

If such a configuration was placed in the North, it would be more than enough to rule a principality, and even be able to penetrate the most powerful Principality of Bosk among the northern countries.

But on the continent of Fianso, in Victoria Harbor, the largest and most prosperous city on the west coast, it couldn't even completely control the city, and could only compete with the other three major families.

Thinking of this, Cassius said in a relaxed tone: "Hehe, you are worthy of being one of the rulers of Victoria Harbor, Duke Aiden, it seems that your family is indeed quite powerful. "

At this moment, sweat could not help oozing from Kaushik's forehead. The many spells he had arranged in the Silver Castle were useless in front of this hermit.

And he had a strange feeling - the existence in front of him had already seen through him, and everything about him could not be hidden in front of him.

And Simon also subconsciously held the silver sword at his waist to ensure the Duke's safety, but his arms were also shaking slightly.

Just now, he felt an unprecedented strong aura overflowing, and even made him feel instinctively afraid.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Hermit is the benefactor of our Silver family."

Duke Aiden saw that the atmosphere was a little strange, and hurriedly smiled.

"Mr. Hermit, you protected our Silver caravan and rescued my daughter. I really don't know how to thank you.

This is just a small thank-you gift to show our Silver family's sincerity. Please be sure to accept it. "

He called several of his servants and ordered them to bring the boxes that had been prepared long ago.

But they were too heavy, and the servants took great effort to move them to the hermit and opened them skillfully.

Suddenly, golden light was everywhere.

The boxes were filled with gold coins, tens of thousands of them, exquisite gold jewelry, and pearls that were as shiny as sand.

Obviously, Duke Aiden had a detailed understanding of the preferences of bronze dragons, knowing that they were greedy for gold like all dragons, and regarded pearls as delicious snacks.

Even the people in the hall were shocked to see this. With so much treasure, it is hard not to breathe fast.

——But it is obviously impolite to spy on other people's wealth. They quickly controlled their emotions and focused their expectant eyes on the Hermit.

The eyes of the "Hermit" were shining, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he nodded repeatedly, obviously quite satisfied with the gift.

The light green pupils reflected the glittering brilliance of gold-obviously, even the metal dragons could not completely restrain the greed from the instinct of dragons.

However, this is not the end, and it can even be regarded as an appetizer.

Duke Aiden continued: "Mr. Hermit, this is only part of our thank you gift.

The arms brought back by the caravan can still be measured by gold coins, but for me personally, my daughter-Heloise is priceless.

I really don't know how to express my gratitude, I can only present our many collections in Victoria Harbor, I hope you like it."

"Pah, pah. "

Duke Aiden clapped his hands, and the door of the hall slowly opened. Maids dressed in luxurious clothes lined up in an orderly queue and walked in slowly.

They were holding transparent glass boxes, which contained various precious collections, many of which were still shining with brilliant magical light.

Red corals from the seabed, ships in glass bottles, crowns of Naga nobles, and huge pearls with colorful brilliance.

These were almost all precious collections from the ocean carefully prepared by Duke Aiden.

As far as he knew, in addition to gold and pearls, the bronze dragon, as the "Dragon of the Coast", also liked other treasures from the ocean, and the Silver family, which had been entrenched in Victoria Harbor for many years, obviously had a lot of inventory.

More than a dozen collections were presented and displayed in front of the hermit, and Duke Aiden also secretly observed the other party's reaction.

The "hermit" admired the carefully prepared collections, and his light green eyes showed an unconcealable love.

Duke Aiden knew that his goal had been achieved - the Silver family had successfully gained the favor of this ancient bronze dragon.

The Hermit sighed, "It seems that Victoria Harbor is indeed the most prosperous port city now. Your Silver family is really wealthy.

In this case, I cannot refuse your kindness. I will accept these gifts of thanks. If you need help, let Miss Heloise toss the coin."

Duke Aiden winked, and Heloise hurried forward and asked softly, "Mr. Hermit, I have something else to ask you.

Do you know - the cultists who attacked us that day, those guys who called themselves believers of the "God of Domination", what exactly are they?

The Hermit sneered, "Hehe, just a group of insects who don't know their own abilities. They don't even know that their minds are being controlled. It's ridiculous.

But according to common sayings, they should be called... puppets of the Mind Flayer."

"Mind Flayer? "

Hearing this name, Kaushik, who was standing next to him, suddenly changed his expression and turned pale.

He had systematically studied the knowledge of the multiverse with Trafalaro, and understood how evil and dangerous the mind flayers were.

Kaushik called up some memories in his library-like mind and recalled them carefully.

The mind flayer, also known as the mind sucker, means "mind plunderer" or "mind slave" in the underground common language, and is sometimes called ghaik (brain-eating bastard) by the Githyanki.

This is a brutal aberration that is feared by many intelligent creatures in the multiverse because of its powerful psychic power.

The mind flayer extracts and eats the brains of living victims, thereby devouring their personalities.

These aberrations often live in twisted nests deep in the underdark, trying to rule all other life forms, control their brains and make them obedient slaves.

Kaushik couldn't help muttering to himself: "How could the mind flayer appear in the world above? "

The Hermit glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Young wizard, the history of these bugs is much longer than you know, and their greed is far beyond your imagination.

Four hundred years ago, I destroyed a Nautilus battleship of the Mind Flayer and learned about their great blueprint. "

Hearing these mixed information, Duke Aiden frowned and his expression became more solemn: "Mr. Hermit, the goal of these Mind Flayers is Victoria Harbor?"

The Hermit said lightly: "You can say that, but it is far more than that, and this is one of the reasons why I came to Victoria Harbor."

Duke Aiden said: "Mr. Hermit, our Silver Family will provide you with everything we can, and we only hope that you can cooperate with us to wipe out these monsters."

The Hermit replied: "Of course, but you need to find me a place to stay first.

Haha, I originally wanted to go back to my room in Tal Harbor, but I didn't expect that place to sink directly to the bottom of the sea. "

Duke Aiden said hurriedly: "Of course, Mr. Hermit, we will build a mansion for you in the best location in the upper city, so that you can enjoy the most beautiful sea view of Victoria Harbor."

The hermit shook his head and refused: "No need, the upper city is full of monks and nobles, which is a bit boring, and there is no contact with all kinds of groups."

"So what do you mean?"

Looking out the window, watching the ships coming and going in the port, the corners of the hermit's mouth curled up slightly:

"Let's do this, I need your Silver family to build a tower for me in the most chaotic and mixed place in the lower city.

The name is the Coast Tower. "

Duke Aiden quickly responded: "Yes, Mr. Hermit, ten days, give us ten days, we will build a tower for you in the lower city. "

But at this moment, he secretly laughed in his heart, obviously mourning for the underground chaotic forces entrenched in the lower city.

An ancient bronze dragon with a strong sense of justice appeared in the chaotic lower city, which was definitely enough for those thieves and cultists to bear.

But Duke Aiden was very alert to the ancient and evil mind flayers - what on earth did they want to do? They actually wanted to kidnap his only daughter?

Unexpectedly, the hermit suddenly spoke again, interrupting his thinking.

"By the way, Duke Aiden, don't forget to transport all these treasures to the tower. "

After saying this, the hermit created a space crack and disappeared in the hall, leaving Duke Aiden standing there alone, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After all, it is still a dragon.

Victoria Harbor is still noisy and bustling, with merchant ships coming and going in an endless stream.

However, there is a rumor in the city that Duke Aiden's only daughter Heloise was ambushed by cultists, and the Duke was furious.

The famous Silver Blade, the Duke's confidant Simon Amorim personally led a team of hundreds of elite mercenaries to the most chaotic Wilson Street in Victoria Harbor.

Just when the various forces in Wilson Street were worried and thought they were going to conduct a large-scale sweep, these mercenaries began to work in the street, which puzzled them.

A few days later, a beautiful blue tower has stood in the Wilson District, with a sign of "Coast Tower" hanging on it, which is out of tune with the low, mottled buildings in the lower city.

The Mithril Hand mercenaries escorted a large amount of gold treasures and put them all into the tower, which also aroused the greed of the surrounding thieves and gangs.

And after all this was done, the Mithril Hand mercenaries all evacuated, leaving only a group of helpless servants and a man in a gray robe in the tower.

Although this is likely to be the treasure of Duke Aiden, facing the seemingly sparsely guarded tower and the dazzling treasure, the surrounding desperados are still coveting it.

Some gangs and cults even colluded with each other, and even pulled a group of undead, wanting to invade the tower together and divide up the rich treasures.

But after a night of thunder and lightning with extremely bad weather, the fishermen complained about the moodiness of the "Sea Queen", and the door of the Coast Tower was full of ashes, and the servants were cleaning it up.

The people in Wilson Street were surprised to find that the several cults and gangs that planned to invade the tower had mysteriously disappeared and never appeared again.

So, another rumor gradually spread: the owner of the Coast Tower, the man who called himself "Hermit", was an extremely powerful wizard.

Some people even swore that there was an extremely terrifying dragon living in the tower, but most people sneered at this.

As the largest port in Silver Moon Bay, Victoria Harbor is very tolerant, and people are no longer surprised by orcs, dwarves, elves, and even foreign races such as Naga.

Soon, the residents of Wilson Street gradually got used to the existence of the Coast Tower, using it as a pawnshop for receiving ocean treasures and as a place to buy intelligence.

The most enthusiastic about this tower are the undead, who often enter the tower in groups and accept tasks from the mysterious hermit.

In the eyes of these players who use Victoria Harbor as their birth point, the "hermit" in the Coast Tower has obviously become the most mysterious and important NPC.

Standing on the top floor of the Coast Tower, staring at the sea surface crowded with ships outside the window, Cassius narrowed his eyes slightly:

"According to the original trajectory, the Domination God Cult kidnapped Heloise to threaten Duke Aiden and gradually took control of the armed forces of Victoria Harbor.

Now that the Silver family's caravan has been rescued by me, I want to see what tricks they can play." (End of this chapter)
