The red dragon just wants to do whatever it wants

Chapter 220 'Garbage' Cleanup

Middle-earth in the New World, the Principality of Lovalden.

As the ship docked, especially the familiar dragon-headed flag, Rhodes, a dragonborn, quickly wrapped his scaly body in a linen robe tightly, revealing only a pair of eyes that were still somewhat different from ordinary people. , began to do the work of moving goods at the dock as always.

Since the great rebellion 45 years ago, the Principality of Lovalden has completely entered a fragmented state in which various forces are divided into one party. For ordinary people, just to survive is already a matter of great effort and a bit of luck. .

Being a dock porter is a laborious job, and you are paid by the piece. The employment environment is worse than that of Blue Star's takeout industry. Ordinary people can barely make ends meet after working exhaustingly for a day.

But as a dragonborn, what he lacks most is strength. The work that ordinary people use to earn a living has been turned into an income-generating business. His income in a day can often be equal to seven or eight strong adults.

But no matter which world they are placed in, aliens are often easily ostracized.

If it weren't for the fact that Rhodes's physique as a dragonborn was also different from ordinary people, he would have been beaten up by his peers and collected protection fees.

Such fighting prowess has naturally attracted the covetousness of many gangs near the port. They tried several times to recruit him as a thug, but Rhodes escaped in various ways.

The experience of being imprisoned in a ranch with his friends when he was a child and being treated like animals and constantly having their blood extracted for magic materials was still vivid in his mind. This made him have no good impression of these gangs and just wanted to stay away.

Maybe even he himself never thought that for the first time in his life, apart from Red Scale's gang of dragonborn companions, he would develop trust and affection for a mixed-blood drow and a group of barbarian sailors.

The porter position provided by the other party's ships that regularly arrived at the port also provided him with the most stable income guarantee. At the same time, it was also relying on this income that allowed him to live stably in the lower city of the port for so many years, while still having enough money to provide relief. Help other dragonborn companions in the city.

With the clear and sweet sound of a Lovalden silver coin and seven copper coins being handed in, Rhodes was in a good mood and couldn't help but muster up the courage to pay them wages in person to the half-blood who was sitting on the mast with his two long legs crossed. Zhuoer asked:

"Sister Ariana, can you help me see if the money I have saved is enough to settle in Scanis?"

Ariana looked at the dragonborn who covered her tightly in surprise:
"You haven't given up yet?"

Only then did he remember that this dragonborn and several companions wanted to take their ship to the old continent to seek life.

After all, this may be related to the entire dragonborn immigration and even control issues. She couldn't control what her dragon master David Yutos thought about this, so she said to this group of dragonborn children:
There is no ideal land anywhere. If you want to live a decent life in a new place, save money first. Only by paying enough tribute will the Dragon Lord be able to look at you 'burdens' in a different light and even make him his subordinate.

Yes, in Ariana's view, even dragon beasts are regarded as non-dragon aliens by the dragons and are not welcome, not to mention that these bloodlines are even more mixed with inferior humanoid dragonborn.

Their physical fitness in all aspects may far exceed that of ordinary humans, but to the dragons, they are still just a burden, not even qualified as 'currency'.

She had no idea that her original joke would be taken seriously by the other party, and he would continue to implement it for decades.

Rhodes suddenly asked bluntly: "Give up? This place has been full of injustice, discrimination and oppression since I can remember. This place is hell for us dragonborns. Now that I have the opportunity to escape from here, I will naturally do my best. "

Speaking of this, Rhodes didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly lowered his head in disappointment and said:

"Furthermore, a friend of mine named Red Scales may have smuggled herself to Scanis. I want to see if I can find her."

That year, he had a nightmare, dreaming that he was possessed by a demon named Gudmund, and then turned into ashes by the red scales that also had something wrong with him, but just when he thought he was dead , but woke up naked from the battlefield and was found by his companions.

It was Red Scale who saved him!definitely is.

Seeing such a persistent dragonborn young man, Ariana had a headache. She really couldn't bear to continue teasing him, so she had to reveal part of the truth and said:
"Then you may be doomed to be disappointed. Since 15 years ago, the high elves have begun to attack the Scanis continent on a large scale. Even my master's territory Katgana has fallen. Even if you are in the past, if you are lucky, If you are sunk by the Elven Navy on the way to feed the fish, you will also be dragged to the front line by those long-ears to be slaves and cannon fodder. Even so, do you still want to go to Scanis to settle?"

When Rhodes suddenly heard this, he felt a huge disappointment and darkness swallowing him whole.

It seems like decades of hard work have all lost their meaning.

".I understand, thank you sister Ariana."

"Little Rhodes, I have a feeling that it won't be too far away when my dragon master returns to the main material plane from Baator Hell. Do you want to come to my ship and become a sailor first? When that time comes, You will have another choice to realize your long-cherished wish."

A ray of light appeared in Rhode's eyes again, but when he thought of something, his eyes dimmed again. He turned his head and pursed his lips and apologized to the drow:
"I'm sorry, I still have two friends who need my care. Without me, they can't survive in this port city."

"Then I wish you good luck." Ariana nodded and said nothing more.

After all, she only offered this olive branch because she believed that this dragonborn had certain nurturing value. She was a drow, not a charity.

Rhode nodded with a smile, collected his wages for today, turned around and left with his tired body.

But just when Rhodes was about to disappear into the port, Drow, who was sitting on the mast observation rail, seemed to feel something. He instinctively raised his hand and saw a magical messenger owl land on his wrist.

After reading the magic letter, Ariana sat up straight:
"Pavla is on top!"

"Then boy, wait."

Ding.

Just as Dragonborn Rhodes was about to leave the port, he heard the voice of the hybrid drow coming from behind him again.

As soon as Rhodes turned around, he saw a golden trajectory falling in front of him. He instinctively reached out to catch it, and then he was stunned.

A platinum coin!Devonser Platinum Coin!

This is a huge sum of money that he can only earn by carrying goods for hundreds of days at the dock!The prerequisite is to meet a captain like Ariana who naturally has a good impression of their dragonborn.

"What are your orders? Miss Ariana." Even the title changed for a while.

But after seeing the fanatical look on this drow's face, Rhodes panicked even more.

He had heard many rumors about drow's promiscuity, and even real dragons had their waists lowered!I simply dare not think deeply about it.

For a moment, Rhodes thought it was Miss Zhuoer who saw that she was almost an adult and wanted to try something fresh and delicious.
Should you agree to it?Or promise?
I just don't know if my small body can withstand the ravage from my drow sister. It is said that these drows generally have the habit of physically punishing their playmates.

'I should be able to bear it, right?This is Devonser platinum! 'But just when the dragon-born boy was having wild thoughts, Ariana took out an enchanted dagger from her waist and threw it in front of Rhodes, saying:

"I'll give you a task. No matter how many people you find, clean up the port city. If anyone blocks it, take this Dark Disaster and kill him. When the sun rises from the sea tomorrow morning, I want to see A spotless port neighborhood.

“Spotless!
"do you understand?"

After giving this almost absurd task, Ariana jumped down from the observation deck on the mast and disappeared into the lower city, leaving Rhodes alone.

He glanced at the garbage and even excrement all over the port, and his head almost exploded.

Cleaned to spotless condition, how is this possible!

In particular, the people of the entire port of Volenz, or most of the urban areas in this century, have an extremely foul-smelling habit:

That is to dump your chamber pot directly on the street in the morning, and let the shoes and wheels of pedestrians carry the filth far away.

So much so that when a traveler comes to the block and raises his head, the first thing he sees is definitely not an exotic scenery with a different style, but most likely a pot of auntie spilled by a woman with a Baotou from the second floor.

This means that even if he really leads people to clean up the streets, all his efforts will be wasted the next day.

"Damn it! Why did Ariana suddenly give me such an unreasonable task? Cleaning up the streets? Isn't it a need that only comes when some big shot comes?"

In his memory, he had only encountered this situation once when he saw King Lurwarden traveling for an inspection when he was young.

As a result, the unlucky king was assassinated in the street by the rebels, and then the entire Lurwarden became a mess.

"Wait! Big shot?"

When I think of the big shot that Miss Ariana can follow so enthusiastically, it seems that it can only be that person.
Son of Crimson Disaster—His Royal Highness David Yutos?

Is the legendary His Highness coming to Lowarden?

Upon realizing this possibility, Rhodes felt his heart suddenly beat violently.

This is his, no, their chance!

An opportunity to prove yourself.

Let His Highness the Red Dragon see the value of these dragonborns!

A dragon may be powerful enough individually, but it also needs dependents, followers, and even vassals to serve it.

Just like Miss Ariana, although she is a drow, she has already become the leading captain in the entire Midway Bay by relying on the intimidation and influence of the dragon.

Every time Ariana's dragonhead ship arrives, all the gang members in the entire Volenz, large and small, have to be honest for a few days, at least not daring to attack this drow crew member.

"Mader, fight!" With this thought in mind, Rhodes pulled out the dagger stuck on the stone slab, tightened his robe tightly, and rushed towards the block where his friends were.

As long as this thing is done, maybe they will never need this stuffy robe to cover themselves in the future.

As night fell, Rhodes went out with shovels and brooms, the children he had recruited under his 'coin-spreading' offensive, and the people who dared to take risks for this windfall.

But even though they consciously acted covertly, in the eyes of the gang members entrenched in the port of Warrenz, it was still considered a big move.

Although Rhodes and the others were cleaning up the garbage on the streets, did they get the consent of their gang members?
Soon, as a scream for mercy rang out, the last thing Rhode wanted to happen happened, and he immediately led a group of timid friends and rushed over.

"Hey, isn't this our little dragon Rhodes? What? You little trashes come out to 'take jobs' at night. Have you handed in your protection fee for this month?"

"No, I didn't know that you have to pay money to do this business." Rhodes took a deep breath and replied with his head lowered.

"Then why are you still standing there? Either pay the money or cut off a finger and give it to me. This is the rule in the lower town of Warrenz."

"Who made the rules?" Rhodes suddenly found himself becoming surprisingly calm.

The gang member was immediately dissatisfied with Rhodes' arrogant attitude: "Of course it's our Blood Jackal Gang, you!"

He was only halfway through speaking when he watched in disbelief as a sharp dagger pierced the leather armor on his chest, and then he was speechless.

It seemed that he never expected that the dragonborn child who had been exploited by him for his entire life would actually choose to stab him violently.

How dare you! ?
Rhode then stabbed him several times in the spotlight, completely silencing the opponent. Then he looked around at the crowd and said:
"Clean up this garbage. Tomorrow morning, this garbage will disappear completely."

This was originally a word that Rhodes had an idea to calm people's hearts, but he didn't expect that not long after he said this, thick blood began to overflow deep in the street, as if there was a monster hiding in the darkness, silently Clean up this unsightly garbage.

Seeing that it was getting close to early morning, and looking at the blood all over the street and the corpses that could be seen lying on the street just around the corner, Rhodes led people directly into the water purification workshop.

I just didn't expect that a conflict might have to break out to solve the problem. The workshop owner didn't know if he had caught wind of something, but he directly promised to provide clean water for free with a smile on his face.

With sufficient fresh water, Rhodes and the others were finally able to directly use clean water to flush the streets.

After a busy night, the smell of blood in the entire Warrenz Port finally dissipated.

Just when Rhodes was watching the sun rise from the sea in a daze, reflecting on the spotless port streets, just when he breathed a long sigh of relief and couldn't believe that he had actually completed this seemingly impossible task. .

"Ang!!!" Waves of dragon roars came from the sea.

When Rod Muran looked back, he saw a red figure flying surrounded by hundreds of dragons of various colors.
Come down.
