Chapter 2364 Paying Respect

As Bruce Wayne said: I'm rich.

Yes, I am rich too.

Although the money only belongs to Master Dewey now, I can spend it as much as I want as long as it is used in the right way.

It feels so good to be able to spend money as much as you want.

The dignitaries of Moonlight City are also rich, and very rich. They not only inherited a large amount of treasures accumulated in Moonlight City since the goblin rule, but also plundered huge amounts of wealth from surrounding island countries during the melee.

Otherwise, why do you think Moonlight City has so many affiliated islands?

Those are the last remnants of the island countries that were invaded, plundered, and besieged during the melee.

As for the residents of the island, they either moved to Moonlight City, became the subjects of elves and goblins, intermarried with them, and gave birth to countless mixed-race children, or they were executed, buried in the mud, or thrown into the deep sea.

These are all historical processes that must be experienced during the melee period, and there is no need to elaborate.

If the seizure of power had happened thirty years ago, I would not dare to say what I am saying today. After all, Master Dewey’s business empire has not yet taken shape, the magic airship is only in the trial stage, and the goblin clan’s scientific research project has only just entered the mainstream. In the era, it was difficult to plunder a large amount of wealth and treasures from the powerful people of Moonlight City by relying only on the enchanted equipment forged by the dwarf master craftsmen and the magnificent buildings built by the goblin forging masters.

At that time, the powerful people in Moonlight City had the capital to challenge me in terms of wealth.

However, thirty years later, their huge wealth flowed into Master Dewey's pocket and into the treasury of Fort Vicky like water.

This kind of inflow of funds is not only irresistible, it is also a reasonable and legal way to promote the scientific and technological progress of Hefeng Continent.

Thirty years of capital consumption have made Moonlight City's elite feel ashamed in front of Master Dewey's huge assets.

"Master Dewey's assets can indeed block the excuses of those fools." Elder Mai Sonoda picked up the tea cup, smelled the tea aroma, and continued: "But you can't underestimate their determination. Those people may not be the strongest. Strong, maybe not the richest, maybe not knowledgeable, but one thing is that they are keen and addicted to playing tricks, and are good at internal fighting. Otherwise, Anasta's parents will not treat the still young Ana Star entrusted it to me."

"I'm curious about something, please enlighten me."

"explain."

"What important responsibilities did you hold before taking up the position of elder?"

"Haha." Elder Mai Sonoda chuckled twice and said, "It's not a heavy responsibility, but the position is not low. Before I succeeded to the position of elder, I served as the president of the Rose Legion."

"President of the Legion of Roses!"

Our eyes widened and we were so shocked that we didn't come back to our senses for a while.

"Isn't it like that?" Elder Mai Sonoda glanced at me, then looked down at himself, and suddenly smiled: "It's true, I haven't trained seriously for many years, and I'm already old. Whether it's temperament or radiance, The aura he came out with has become a bit weaker, and he is more like a politician who is chasing fame and fortune in the political arena."

Listening to Elder Mai Sonoda's self-deprecation, I wanted to deal with her, but because we were relatively close, it was difficult to compliment her, so I chose to remain silent.

Seeing that I was silent, Elder Sonoda Mai chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, you are not wrong to say that I pursue fame and fortune. Before I took up the position of elder, I did despise those who pursue fame and fortune, but when I become After becoming an elder and tasting the taste of power, my mind was slowly infected by the desire for power, and the desire for fame and fortune in my heart gradually became apparent. Now, whether you say I am a politician who pursues fame or fortune, or you say I want Whether it’s a noble lady who wants to dominate the Vanity Fair, she is still the real me.”

Elder Mai Sonoda spoke frankly, but what she has experienced over the years has proven that she has not been swallowed up by desire, but has persisted in her true heart, achieved herself, and fulfilled her promise.

Even if she is checked by several other elders, she has to admit that the Elf Queen has indeed grown very well under the protection of Elder Mai Sonoda.

"No wonder, no wonder Her Majesty Anastas was able to survive in the quagmire of imperial nobility. This is entirely due to the protection of you, a powerful man with high position and authority, but who always sticks to his true heart!"

"Thank you for your compliment." Elder Mai Sonoda smiled and said, "But I deserve it."

"It is true that I protected Her Majesty Anastasia, but first of all, I promised her parents to support her to rise to power. As for me, I am more committed to promises and don't like to go back on my word. Since I promised, I will definitely do it. I can do it. Secondly, I also have selfish motives. After supporting Anastas as the queen, on the one hand, I can have greater power, and on the other hand, I can also cultivate my Beibei according to the process of cultivating Anastas. , maybe one day in the future, my Beibei will also be honored in that position."

Speaking of this, Elder Mai Sonoda caressed Beibei's little head lovingly.

Beibei responded to her grandma with a sweet smile.

It can be said that Elder Mai Sonoda benefited a lot from this trip. Not only did he find out the truth about some past events, but he also learned about some past events of Elder Mai Sonoda.

After leaving the mansion, I walked quickly towards home.

After entering the house, he found Selen, who was napping on the sofa out of boredom. Without saying a word, he picked up one of his legs and walked out the door.

Dragging all the way, Salem actually remained asleep. He had to admit that the dragon's skin and fat were really strong!

After entering the forest and almost reaching the destination, Salem woke up and found out that I was dragging one of his legs. He immediately broke away from my hand and flew up, glaring at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked confused.

"What did you say!" it roared in an almost collapsed tone: "Drag me by one leg into the forest. What are you going to do?"

I scratched my head and looked confused: "What to do? What to do?"

"Say! Do you want to skin me and roast me!" Salem said angrily: "I knew you had wanted to roast me and eat me a long time ago, so as to avenge the dragon's breath I sprayed on you!"

"Hey, hey, where did you want to go?" I innocently spread my hands and said, "I just saw that you were sleeping too hard, so I didn't wake you up. I thought I'd wait until you were somewhere before I woke you up. It would be better for you. Not only didn't I wake you up? You understand my good intentions and even say that I want to eat you! Tsk, it’s not like I’ve never eaten pterosaur meat before. Although it’s very chewy, it’s actually not delicious.”

Seeing that I didn't seem to be lying, Salem frowned and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"I plan to contact Tyrannosaurus King Bakar."

"Contact my Lord for what?"

"Thank you," I said, "If it weren't for the dragon scale he gave me, I would probably have been killed by Antuen."

"Antuen? Have you seen Antuen?"

I nodded: "I saw you, and we had a good chat."

Seren stared at me for a while and then said: "Yes, I almost forgot, you visited Antuen these days. Oh, really, you should have told me earlier and took me with you too. I also wanted to Let’s pay homage to Antun’s honor again.”
