I traveled to another world and became a princess kidnapped by a dragon

The more the better?How much is too much?How much and how little?He couldn't understand the values ​​of the dragon, and he could only do his best to collect more resources.

To be honest, he started collecting these resources with the idea of ​​exhausting all his assets.

Although the things Christina needs are relatively common things, the problem lies in this quantity.

At the beginning, when he transported those materials, he calculated them bit by bit. Now that he has the backing of the country, he no longer has the cautiousness at the beginning, and he buys everything that can be bought on the market.

Of course, the minimum demand in the city must be left.

Isabella would never have imagined how much impact her words would have on this country.

Countless material resources were continuously brought outside the castle where Christina was.

All kinds of resources quickly piled up into hills.

Although salt is a material that the human body must absorb, the price is not low, not only because the demand is relatively small, but also because this is an inland area, the daily salt needed Most of them were transported from other places, so if you want to pile up materials like salt into a hill, you can imagine how much money the Marquis of Essos spent.

Of course, these materials are not all obtained at market prices.

If it is based on the market price, it will definitely cost more.

After the lord's announcement was released, countless merchants who owned those materials sold them to the lord at a relatively low price. It wasn't that these merchants were so kind, it was entirely because they didn't want to anger the terrifying dragon.

Christina's towering and majestic body, sharp claws like spears, and scales like steel armor all shocked everyone.

They had already been terrified by the giant dragon, so naturally they didn't dare to have any thoughts of angering each other. Since Christina came to ask for those supplies, they naturally wanted to contribute some.

Christina naturally would not have thought that her words would cause so many things. While waiting for what she wanted, she watched with great interest the ants moving back and forth underneath.

She finds it quite interesting to these mortals who help her carry supplies.

A large number of resources were moved in front of Christina. The Marquis of Essos has been watching Christina's expression from a distance. Seeing that Christina did not waver at all, he knew in his heart that this must be Unable to meet the needs of the other party, I had no choice but to continue to move up.

No way, he dare not let it go.

Finally, after the materials had covered a street, the officials of the Marquis of Essos also reported that basically, all the materials that can be raised in the city are here, if it is not enough for Chris For Tina's needs, she can only choose to be dispatched from other towns, but it will take a long time, so now the Marquis of Essos can only explain the situation to her personally.

The Marquis of Essos finally hesitated and chose to negotiate with Christina.

He walked towards Christina with heavy steps, he was ready to die.

He had already determined his heir before, and arranged for the carriage to be sent out of the city. Even if the dragon really got angry and burned the city to the ground, the Essos family would never be destroyed.

"Ah, Your Excellency the Great Dragon, here are all the supplies you need that can be raised in this city. I wonder if there are enough? If not, then we can only raise them for you from other places. That takes time."

Christina heard the words of the Marquis of Essos, glanced at the supplies and those mortals who looked at her tremblingly and said, "Is that all? Well..." Christina's voice was drawn out some.

And it was the elongation of the tone that almost made the Marquis of Essos' heart pop out of his throat, as did the retainers and soldiers who followed the Marquis of Essos.

Their faces were pale, and bean-sized sweat dripped from their foreheads.

But then Christina's words let them breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Okay, that's it. Since you can only raise so much, forget it."

The Marquis of Essos was overjoyed and said to Christina: "Then, Lord Dragon, how do you take these things away? Do you want me to send someone to help you transport them?"

Christina said coldly: "Does Benlong still need your help to deliver this thing? Don't compare me with you mortals."

Speaking of which, Christina opened her mouth wide at the resources piled up in the street below.

With a strong suction force, those materials flew into Christina's mouth.

When all the resources entered Christina's mouth, everyone present was shocked.

None of them could imagine how such a thing could be done.

Although there are space magic items such as space rings and space bracelets in this world, they are all extremely expensive and have limited space. A storage ring worth dozens of gold coins can only hold five. About cubic meters, the space of five cubic meters can't hold many things.

So Christina's move shocked everyone.

Everyone marveled at the magic and fear of the giant dragon in their hearts, and everyone was glad that the other party did not deal a devastating blow to the city.

Christina closed her mouth, and said to the Marquis of Essos, "I have already accepted the things, so I will go."

The Marquis of Essos immediately said: "Go slowly, great dragon."

Christina spread her wings, then flapped them lightly, and flew into the air.

Just flying up, everyone below felt as if they had experienced a hurricane.

After Christina flew high into the sky, she suddenly saw a huge metal statue standing in the center of the square.

She flew directly to the side of the statue.

The figure of this statue is the ancestor of the Marquis of Essos, the Marquis of Essos I.

It is precisely because the Marquis of Essos I opened up this original city that the prosperity of the city of Essos today exists.

After the Marquis of Essos I passed away, everyone in the town raised funds to cast this metal statue in memory of the Marquis of Essos I.

Christina would notice this statue not because she knew the Marquis of Essos I, but because the statue was made of metal.

She opened her mouth wide, and a hot breath spurted out of her mouth instantly.

Christina's sudden behavior immediately aroused the panic of everyone around, and those mortals fled in all directions screaming.

Everyone thought that Christina was going to burn the city.

Everyone looked desperately at Christina's huge body standing in the air, waiting for death to come.

Christina's figure was so shocking that these people couldn't afford any resistance.

But soon everyone realized that something was wrong, because Christina was just burning the metal statue with dragon's breath.Did not spread the flames elsewhere.

And the huge ten-meter-high statue quickly melted under the scorching dragon flames.

The hot molten iron flowed to the surroundings, but was blocked by an invisible stand and did not spread out.

After the entire statue had disappeared in the dragon flames, Christina stopped releasing flames.She flapped her wings again and flew in the direction of the Mussory Forest.Under everyone's surprised eyes, Christina's huge figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"What is this Lord Dragon doing? Why did he fuse the statue of the ancestor?" Marquis Essos III asked in surprise.

"This...we don't know either." Everyone shook their heads and didn't understand the reason.

"Could it be that the First Marquis once had contact with this Lord Dragon? Offended this Lord Dragon?" Some people speculated.

But then there was a reaction: "Sent... sent... we sent..."

"What's wrong?" Everyone turned their attention to the person who spoke, and saw that the person looked at the metal block that had melted into a cube and said so with a flushed face.

"I'm afraid I'm scared crazy!"

Everyone asked the reason one after another, and some ridiculed, thinking that this person was frightened out of his wits.

But then the man's words stunned everyone present.

"Haven't you reacted yet? Dragon Steel, this is Dragon Steel. This is a priceless treasure. After being baptized by the dragon's breath, the metal contaminated with the dragon's breath is a priceless treasure. Hahaha, and it's still the same It is a huge piece, if it is sold to those dwarven blacksmiths, it can definitely be exchanged for tens of thousands of gold coins." The man said so excitedly.

"Count... tens of thousands of gold coins?" Everyone present widened their eyes when they heard the number.

There is no way, the number of tens of thousands of gold coins is too huge, it is not a number they can imagine at all.

Even in this city of Essos, there are only a few transactions that can reach tens of thousands of gold coins, and every transaction has attracted various attentions.

"Could it be that the giant dragon is thanking us?" Someone speculated hesitantly.

Although this conclusion is absurd, apart from this possibility, everyone really can't figure out the reason, or is it for deterrence?

However, no matter what the reason for the giant dragon to ask for those supplies, or why he left this piece of dragon steel, he must truthfully report these things to the upper echelons of the imperial capital, and let the upper echelons of the imperial capital worry about these things. .

Chapter 14 The Imperial Council

The capital of the Caesar Empire - Caesar City.

In the Imperial Palace of Caesar City, which is located in the center of the capital of the empire, an emergency meeting is being held at this time. All the important nobles of the upper echelon of the empire have come here, and the meeting is naturally discussing the matter of a red dragon descending on the city of Essos not long ago. .

This is the number one event in the entire empire right now.

King Julius Caesar sat on the throne and looked down at the ministers who were discussing.

After a while, Julius Caesar said with a serious face: "I think everyone already knows what happened in Essos City."

The crowd responded.

Before coming here, everyone has been told what happened.

After knowing that a giant dragon had visited the city of Essos, these nobles immediately came to the palace, and now everyone looked worried.

After all, the existence of giant dragons is indeed an extremely terrifying existence in their eyes.

Caesar said: "Since everyone already knows the situation, I won't repeat it again. So what do you think about the fact that the dragon came to the city of Essos? Let's talk about it."

After Caesar's words fell, someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, according to the message from the Marquis of Essos, what the dragon took from the city of Essos was not gold, silver and jewels, but rare treasures." Those things, but some edible supplies such as salt, spices, noodles, etc., and the amount is very large, I think, is the dragon feeding the army?"

The person who spoke was the intelligence chief of the empire—William Brono. He was the first person to receive the good news from the Marquis of Essos. He naturally knew the most about the situation, and he was in charge of the intelligence collection People, the Mussory Forest is naturally a place of special concern, and any troubles there are under the supervision of the department.

Earl William's words attracted everyone's attention. After all, William was the most authoritative in terms of intelligence.

It's just that everyone responded to this speculation with a ridiculous attitude.

"Master William, why does a giant dragon raise an army? And we all know that monsters cannot be tamed, so how can they form an army?" Someone retorted, "I'm afraid that the giant dragon is just greedy. It's about your appetite." The man said casually, but, these casual words are really true.

William sneered and said: "For greed, Sir Bejas, do you know how much supplies the dragon took away? That's enough supplies for an army of 10 people to last half a year. Do you think so much? That giant dragon only satisfies its appetite? And there are many things like salt, oil, and flour. If it satisfies its appetite, the dragon will only eat these things? In addition, you seem to have forgotten one thing, although Warcraft is very difficult It was tamed by us humans, but the opponent is a giant dragon. The upper-level monsters have natural dominance over the lower-level monsters." Earl William said seriously.

Sir White Huss was immediately speechless. He was just responding in a daily way just now. He really didn't know exactly what the dragon took away.

"Mr. William, please explain in detail." Caesar said to Earl William.

Earl William explained: "According to intelligence, the giant dragon came from the depths of the Mussory Forest. After the giant dragon left the Mussory Forest, it went straight to the city of Essos. Passing along the way Many towns have never stopped, presumably because the goal is very clear. The supplies needed by the dragon are basic ingredients, and the movement of the Warcraft Forest in the past few years can explain what happened in the depths, and With that level of turmoil, I'm afraid it's the ninth-level monsters fighting for territory."

"Ninth-level monster..." Everyone changed their faces when they heard this word.

The ninth-level monster is the existence at the top of the world, and it is the existence that has stepped into the realm of transcendence and holiness.

There are only a few rivals in this country.

Moreover, the monsters themselves are stronger than the human race. I am afraid that it is possible to defeat the level [-] monsters only if the several sanctuary powerhouses in the country work together.

Earl William continued: "Moreover, there has never been a sighting report of the giant dragon in the past few hundred years, and I am afraid that it went to it from other places. The Warcraft riot a few years ago is likely to be the result of the giant dragon and other superiors. It was caused by monsters competing for territory, and now that giant dragon is asking for those supplies, I think it may be to feed the army and continue to expand the territory."

William said solemnly to Emperor Caesar: "Although these are just my humble guesses, I still feel that it is necessary to take this matter to heart and be prepared to deal with the monster riot."

A tall man in armor said, "Master William, is this saying that we should send troops to the southwest region?"

The one who spoke was the great general of the country—General Longbottom.

William nodded and said, "That's right, we must send a certain number of soldiers to Essos City and evacuate the towns between Essos City and the Mussory Forest."

"It's too much to make a big deal out of a molehill. It's just a guess. It's not good to mobilize people like this." Another minister also said.

This one is the finance minister of the empire—Marquis Fellner, who is in charge of the empire's various expenditures.

His complexion is quite bad. Leaving aside the matter of sending troops, it is very difficult to evacuate everyone in the town between Essos City and Mussory Forest.

Not to mention the simplicity of evacuation, but the issue of resettlement after evacuation.

If they are not resettled, these people will become refugees, robbers and the like, and women and children may become slaves.

This is not a good thing for this country, it is a hidden danger, and if it is resettled, it will cost a lot of money. For Marquis Sola, who is in the position of finance minister, this is very uncomfortable.

The country has a budget every year, and unexpected expenses can only be cut from other places, which requires recalculation of the budgets of various departments.

The workload was unimaginable, so he naturally didn't want to agree to do so.

General Longbottom also frowned and said: "I also think this is inappropriate. Now we are confronting the barbarians in the north, and it is now the beginning of autumn. If winter comes, I am afraid that the war will start again. If this When I send people to the southwest, I'm afraid it will give those barbarians an opportunity."

And William said coldly: "I'm afraid you two have forgotten the Warcraft riot for five years. Do you remember how many people died at that time? Have you forgotten why we have been paying attention to the situation in the Mussory Forest?" ?We have always been trying to prevent that kind of thing from happening again. But now that the dragons have appeared, isn’t it a sign of a problem? If that kind of thing happens and causes that level of loss again, then It's not about money and soldiers. Don't forget, the various resources of the Great Mossori Forest can only be provided by the city of Essos for the time being. If the city of Essos falls, I don't need to explain the impact Bar."

William's words left both Longbottom and Sola speechless.

They naturally remembered what happened five years ago. The Warcraft riot directly led to the disappearance of several towns, causing countless deaths and injuries, and also led to the continued expansion of the Mussory Forest. It can be said that that incident led to the collapse of the Caesar Empire. Territory is reduced to a certain extent.

Emperor Caesar spoke at this time: "Everything you say makes sense. Yes, the northern barbarians do need to be vigilant, and financial issues are also a problem, but as Sir William said, the situation in Essos cannot be ignored. But I thought of a way to solve this matter to a certain extent.”

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty." Everyone said quickly.

Caesar said: "In the name of the country, the Adventurer's Guild is entrusted to let the adventurers go to the Mussoli Forest to investigate the situation. If they can find unusual news, the country will reward them with gold coins and honorary titles of nobles."

Everyone was taken aback and said that this method is feasible.

There are many powerful adventurers in this world, so you only need an honorary title and a certain amount of gold coins to effectively get the movement of the Mussory Forest.

And once something goes wrong, the residents can be evacuated in advance at that time. If nothing happens, there is no need to waste state funds to resettle those citizens.

"I hope it's just that we are overthinking. Warcraft riots, alas. I really don't want to experience that kind of disaster again." Caesar sighed.
