Chapter 1,399 Eos’s Special Preferences
"The chosen one of the Goddess of Gold Coins. Uh-huh." Although his previous attitude was normal, Eos said something strange here. But then it continued to speak, this time in dragon language:
’ If that elector were the person next to you, I would have thought that the little halfling was back to his old habits. I think back then, when that little guy saw Apollos, he stuck to him, offering his money and his life. She can even come to me to borrow money. Even the road to becoming a god followed him, and even though the walk was quite strenuous, he didn't even hear a word of suffering from that lazy little thing. But seeing your appearance, I believe you are a real person. I heard that there was a lot of trouble on Dragon Island recently. ’
Wow, sister, you are my sister! If you don't speak human words, just speak dragon language. Why is it so hard to say that you have to greet me in the face? Because the person who selects people is only superficial, so you can tell by looking at people that I have real abilities. Have I offended you?
Someone wailed in his heart. But he couldn't get angry at the dragon in front of him, because he could learn several facts from his previous words.
First of all, Eos has a relationship with his current patron, the gold coin goddess Ke Yin, and maybe he knows the other three as well. I don’t know what the story is, but my friendship with Ke Yin is absolutely nothing to say.
Even if you have the ability to pursue a solo career, if you are temporarily borrowing someone else's name to do things, if you meet the friend who supports you and get ridiculed a few times by others, can you turn your back? At times like this, just laugh and get over it. After all, they didn't chase you, they just said it casually. It can be seen that this kind of friendship is that of friends, not enemies.
Secondly, Ke Yin is so courageous that he dares to borrow money from a dragon! But this also shows that the friendship between one person and one dragon is so good that Ke Yin borrowed money from a dragon! Because borrowing money from Long, let alone someone who has never heard of it, he has never even thought about it.
Dragons like all things that sparkle. This is not an urban legend or a rumor, but a real fact; and the dragons are still goods that can only be imported but not exported. It is no easier for a penniless miser to come up with money than for an ordinary person to dream of reaching the sky.
Anyway, someone was shocked. But despite being shocked, there was also some joy. It's not that I'm a bitch. After being hurt by the dragon, I still shamelessly stick to it. But if he has an extra level of relationship with this dragon, coming from the Goddess of Gold Coins, then his affairs should be a little more stable. So Lin said excitedly: "Lord Eos, about what happened to me before..."
However, within three seconds of someone being happy, a bucket of cold water poured down on him. Although the gem-constructed dragon had a friendship with Ke Yin, it was impossible for him to help a magician he had just met. The friendship between dragons is not that easy to deal with. It directly cut off Lin's words and said, "I know which dragons did it, but I can't help."
Being choked, someone was speechless for a while. Eos calmly called his servants and contacted the chamber of commerce stewards brought by Henry to discuss the contents of the transaction.
Unlike other vulgar dragons, Eos does not pursue mountains of coins. Instead, it likes spiritual works of art. The so-called spiritual works here do not mean that the work is particularly good, but that the creator is concentrating on the work during the creation process and placing certain emotions on the work. There is another name for this term in other places in the Lost Lands - cursed items.
Regardless of whether the creator knows magic or not, works created from strong emotions have one common characteristic, that is, there are no rules! The emotions, thoughts, and environment at the time of creation will give this kind of works unique powers of varying strength and weakness. Sometimes this power can be a bit unreasonable.
Most of this power is negative, which is why the outside world regards such works as cursed objects. But this curse is certainly not painful to the gem-constructed dragon.
The dragons themselves have rough skin and high magic resistance. Although spiritual and soul magic can work, it is not a small curse that can bring down these giant dragons.
Even so, if you stay with this kind of thing for a long time, it will have negative effects in a subtle way. But Eos liked such things, and specially asked people from the Greco Chamber of Commerce to collect them. The two sides have just gotten online.
In fact, according to Henry, this gem-constructed dragon can also collect magic equipment, regardless of whether it is good, bad, strong or weak. But compared to the cursed objects, which no one wanted, magic equipment was in short supply in the outside world, and Eos was not meant to be used, but simply collected. So which one they will choose as a product to send to Dragon Island is not very obvious.
As a dragon on Dragon Island, the items it can provide are of course the specialties of Dragon Island, or the dragon tribe's specialties. Dragon bones and teeth can be used to make weapons or magic props; dragon scales can be used to make armor; dragon blood can be used to make potions. Eos can even get things like dragon crystal. However, dragon crystal is too precious, and the Greco Chamber of Commerce cannot trade such things.
Although the pricing on Long Island is bad, it is better than other places where prices are high and no market is available. After all, the source of the things here is guaranteed, and the goods may not be available elsewhere in Midland, and if they are, they may not be genuine.
Although no one stated the origin of these things clearly, it was obvious that they came from the Dragon Tomb.
Originally, the dragon tomb, as the final destination of the dragons, should be sacred and peaceful. Now it has become a warehouse for reselling materials. No wonder the old black dragon at home is dissatisfied with Long Island.
As for the thoughts of the dragons who were still willing to stay on Dragon Island even though they knew they would have no peace after death, Lin was not sure. Maybe he will be like the people who signed up for organ donation in his hometown. After all, if he dies, the organs will rot or burn, so he might as well donate them and use some of the remaining heat. From this perspective, it's a good thing.
The servants of Eos are a group of ordinary people of the Homo sapiens race. There are some from all races, but mainly humans. These people don't have the attitude of living in the shadow of the dragon and fearing all day long. On the contrary, it is quite natural, just like living a normal life. It's just that the master they serve is a giant dragon.
These people also have no access to the 'special' artworks collected by Eos. But to maintain the cleanliness of such a palace, some hands were necessary. Besides, unlike other young dragons who are keen on hunting food themselves and eating raw food, Eos likes cooked food, so he naturally needs the services of some cooks.
At the prompt of a slight movement of Eos's fingers, these servants brought a roasted whole lamb that had been prepared long ago and was kept warm by magic. It was placed on a silver tray and carried on the shoulders of four servants like a sedan.
This gem-structured dragon used a snake-like attack speed to swallow the whole sheep in one gulp without moving an inch of the silver plate. A few servants' shoulders were lighted, and they carried the silver plate down without even looking at it. It seems that this kind of gameplay is quite skillful, and they usually do it often.
Henry and his steward were in contact with another group of servants. Both sides skillfully took out the list, checked and bargained with each other.
Dragon crystal is one of the most precious trading items on Dragon Island. It cannot be exchanged based on quantity alone. It must be other things of the same grade or equally precious in the eyes of the dragon. Therefore, the stewards of the Chamber of Commerce are greedy, and they will not have wishful thinking. Instead, they will obediently focus on materials that can be used to make weapons and equipment.
However, Lin, who was the original protagonist of the conversation, did not feel left out at all. Because when Eos said that he couldn't help, his attitude was not a sign of avoiding someone, or of despising or ignoring someone.
Instead, it looks like those storytellers get to a certain point and expect people to ask, "What next?" It is also like some people who are sure of winning, waiting for others to ask for their performance.
Anyway, Eos's smart eyes were staring at someone, wanting to see what kind of choice the magician who was embarrassed by it would make, or what exchange conditions he would propose. This is what this gem-constructed dragon wants.
Lin was not a young man, and when he saw that Eos was not repelling others, he knew that he had not done something well. You have to spend money to buy information from low-level people, but there seems to be no way to find a giant dragon to do things and rely on friendship for free.
Not to mention that the friendship is not his, but that of the gold coin goddess. Borrowing her name to owe her a debt, this behavior of selling a goddess doesn't seem to work?
So what bargaining chips do you have to impress this dragon?
If we only talk about numerical value, then even if we bring in an astronomical number of coins, it will not be enough to satisfy the greed of the Dragon Clan. Therefore, giving away all your wealth directly is definitely the next best option. Because if you give away all your property, you may not be able to get a giant dragon to help you with things.
If you want to go with what he likes, Eos' preferences have actually been clearly revealed. Namely those cursed works of art. But I couldn't find such a thing at the moment, let alone use it as a reward for this dragon.
There are some magic equipment, but I haven't made a living by selling these things for a long time, and my research direction is not in this area. There is no demand, and there are no trial works left over from the research process. What is kept around now is for use. I couldn't bear to exchange these for Eos' favor, and it would be troublesome to do it again.
However, looking at the layout of the palace and thinking of Eos' preferences, Lin suddenly had a guess in his mind. After glancing at the giant dragon, Lin then pressed his chest and lowered his head and said, "Sir, please wait for me for a moment. I have a gift prepared for you. I will get it now." After that, he disappeared on the spot.
A certain magician suddenly disappeared. The gem-constructed dragon seemed not to notice, and quietly maintained its lying posture with its head raised, as if it had returned to its previous state of sculpture. But in fact, it was also curious about the method used by the magician, at least it was different from the teleportation magic it knew.
When Lin returned to the palace again, he brought a small sack with a heavy weight. He held it in his hand and said, "Lord Eos, this is the gift I want to give."
