Chapter 170 The Dragon and Bezos's Treasure House [Subscribe]
Chen Xuan had come across the concept of divine covenant a long time ago.
As long as the natives of Naroa can afford the price and feel it is worthwhile, they can sign a divine covenant at any time.
However, each creature can only sign a divine covenant three times in their lifetime.
And the cost of the contract is often very high.
The cost here is floating. For example, the price Baron Bezos paid for his life with the divine covenant is ten years of life and fertility for the rest of his life.
If it were a civilian, the same price would not be enough to get this divine covenant.
To put it bluntly, the so-called "equality for all" is itself a paradox.
Ability, luck, acquired conditions, and degree of effort all determine that differences in personal ability are inevitable.
Of course, from the perspective of life itself, all creatures are indeed equal.
But this concept is just a matter of thinking about it in your head.
Not to mention people, even tools are divided into different levels.
The life span and fertility of the baron are naturally more valuable than the life span and fertility of the poor in some ways.
So there is still a lot of fluctuation in the conclusion of the divine covenant.
Although this principle is cruel, it is implemented throughout the entire Naroa continent.
In fact, the society of Blue Star also adheres to such a law, but it is not as direct as that of Naroa continent.
Everything of the living beings has become a bargaining chip that can be sold in the divine contract.
Chen Xuan thought of this, looked at the tattoo mark on Baron Bezos's chest that had become very blurred, and then asked the next question.
"How many times have you made a divine contract?"
This question is not difficult to answer.
"Only once."
"The cost of the divine contract is very high, and it is very easy to arouse people's greed."
"It is not a wish, but an unequal exchange."
"If you treat it as a wish, you will fall into the trap of greed."
"The more you ask, the greater the price you have to pay."
Baron Bezos explained seriously, and under the effect of the contract, he said everything he knew.
Chen Xuan naturally understood this principle. It is almost impossible for the natives of Naroa to take advantage of the divine contract.
The abilities granted by the divine contract are either limited to times or limited to time.
Just like when Chen Xuan made the Divine Contract, he could only get two top talents lasting 0.17 water clocks with all his efforts, so the Divine Contract was not a cost-effective choice, and was only suitable for exchanging power for the last moment of fireworks in extreme cases.
In addition, Baron Bezos paid an acceptable price in exchange for a life-saving ability.
But it is impossible to rely on the Divine Contract to get rich and become a super strong man.
Only Chen Xuan himself is an exception, after all, he has a golden finger that can modify the contract.
To be honest, in front of the golden finger, the Divine Contract is just a handful of wool.
The ability of the golden finger itself is his greatest reliance.
After confirming that Baron Bezos did not have a hidden back-up of the Divine Contract, Chen Xuan was relieved.
And it also gave him a new idea.
Chen Xuan still has two opportunities to make a Divine Contract, which will be a great help if he makes good use of it.
The Divine Contract is indeed very useful, but it cannot interfere with the outside world. All the contract exchange conditions can only act on the contract itself.
Otherwise, the assassin would be out of work.
If you want to kill someone, just sign an assassination contract.
But this is impossible, because the rules of the divine contract itself have great limitations.
Now Chen Xuan has figured out how to sign the second divine contract.
As long as he cleans up the treasury, he will go to the temple again.
In the face of the demonic disaster, he must mobilize all the forces he can use!
After knowing what to do, Chen Xuan looked at Baron Besos again and smiled faintly.
"Now, take me to your treasury."
"I know you have a lot of private collections."
...
In the Misty Canyon, Ancetus rode on the back of a four-winged demon eagle.
Monsters are pouring out of the canyon.
The dark chaotic magic dissipated like smoke, floating in the sky.
The monsters here have nothing to do with the void transmission channel, but come from a large cave in the canyon that was originally in a banned state!
No one would have thought that there was a large cave hidden around Magtan City.
This size of cave ranks fourth in the six cave scale ratings of micro, small, medium, large, giant and super giant. Tens of thousands of monsters can emerge every day.
It is not known why it was sealed here.
This cave has a history of at least hundreds of Naroya years.
Ansetus came here by chance and found the powerful monster sealed in the cave. He was bewitched and became the servant of the monster.
He even integrated the power of the monster. The chaotic magic power was dormant in his heart. He usually showed his normal face and could transform into a monster when necessary.
This is why he rarely used magic element to fight in recent years.
Since the chaotic magic power entered his body, his original magic element cultivation has been stagnant.
As a master who reached the silver level ten Naroya years ago, his magic element cultivation has not improved at all in these years. This is enough to explain the problem.
At this time, Ansetus has become the leader of these monsters in the canyon cave.
His eyes were wide open between his eyebrows, and his face was covered with complicated magic patterns.
There was a pair of fully extended horns on both sides of his chin, making him look particularly weird.
Riding on a four-winged magic eagle, Ancetus looked down from above.
Suddenly, the fog in the canyon rolled violently.
A huge and ferocious black head suddenly emerged from the fog.
The blood-stained yellow vertical pupils were hidden in the black scales and horns, like two flickering lanterns.
"Clang!"
"Hua La La..."
A crisp dragging sound appeared, and the slender neck under the head was also revealed.
It was also covered with solid scales.
Then there was the strong chest and abdomen, and the two broken black wings extending from the dorsal blades!
If Chen Xuan was here, he would recognize that the huge monster in front of him was the black dragon of the west!
There were bone limbs at both ends of the black wings, but they were firmly nailed by thick lock hooks.
As the fog dissipated, the figure of the magic dragon was fully revealed.
Its body length was more than 30 meters, with a wingspan of nearly 60 meters, and its whole body was covered with dense scales.
The size of each scale is comparable to a human zither shield.
With a slender neck and full chest and abdomen, you can see the bulging muscle outline under the scales with just a few moves.
The feet are thick and powerful, with sharp claws and recurved joints.
It can easily break the rock layer on the ground of the canyon like grabbing tofu, leaving traces of gullies.
A tail with a bone hammer naturally hangs down to the side of the body, and the blade-like spines extend along the spine to the back of the head.
Every time it breathes, the ferocious head can spray out two thick air columns.
In addition to the wings, its hind limbs are also nailed by a hook.
Behind the hook are chains, each of which has a diameter of more than two meters, pulled vertically behind the dragon, and fixed in the depths of the canyon.
In addition, there are traces of hooks on the dragon's chest, neck and head.
Although these places have almost healed, the newly grown scales have some color differences, so you can tell at a glance that those parts were originally bound by hooks.
"Axo, are you all assembled?"
The dull voice echoed like thunder in the sky above the canyon.
After the big mouth full of sharp teeth opened, leaping sparks came out from time to time.
The magic dragon just moved its body slightly, and the earth was shaking slightly.
Ancetus, sitting on the four-winged magic eagle, clenched his fist and hit his chest to salute.
"Master, the magic army in the canyon has been assembled."
Hearing his report, the magic dragon's huge head shook for no reason.
"Well, the void transmission channel is taking shape quickly."
"I miss the long-lost breath."
At this point, the magic dragon couldn't help shaking his body, and the chains behind him were dragged by it and made a "clang" sound.
"Roar!"
"There are still four big sealing chains. As long as they are removed, I will regain my freedom!"
"This land needs the magic flame to purify!"
The magic dragon raised its neck and let out a long dragon roar.
The ripple-like sound waves pushed the air and swept away a large piece of white mist.
All the monsters below trembled suddenly, and a huge sense of oppression was pressing in front of them, even the weeds on the ground were bent.
The four-eyed magic eagle carrying Ancetus flapped its wings in panic and looked shaky.
This is the power of the magic dragon!
The huge dragon roar can spread to a radius of tens of kilometers.
Even in Magtan City, this roar can be heard.
At this moment, the magic dragon issued a heroic declaration to reappear in the world.
It has been sealed and bound for too long.
The opportunity to regain freedom completely is now in front of us.
It will once again crisscross this land, bringing disaster and destruction!
Ansitus was indifferent to the dragon's might, and his eye between his eyebrows flashed red.
Scales emerged from his chest and then quickly spread to his neck.
These scales looked similar to dragon scales, but they were much smaller.
The three-eyed Ansitus actually had a tendency to turn into a dragon.
The ferocious dragon looked at Ansitus, whose appearance was becoming more and more weird, and showed a human-like satisfied expression.
"The baptism of my dragon blood not only gives you the ability to master chaotic magic, but also increases your physical strength tenfold!"
"Now you are an out-and-out dragonborn!"
"Okay, Axl, take my token and greetings and contact the guards of the secret door caves."
"I, the sixth general under the Black Flame Lord, the magic dragon Belle Tobias Kroedi, ask them to help me get rid of the last few chains."
"Blood food! I want a lot of blood food..."
The magic dragon named Belle Tobias Kroedi opened his mouth and spit out a ball of dragon teeth wrapped in mucus from the cavity in his throat.
This dragon tooth is like a sharp cone, with annual ring-like patterns on the surface, and a little dragon power.
Holding the dragon tooth in his arms, Ansethus saluted again, and then pulled the reins of the four-winged magic eagle, driving it towards the secret door caves shrouded by black light columns.
Under the black cloud, it was not just Magtan City that took action.
…
“Roar!”
Inside the Baron’s Castle, Chen Xuan and Bezos looked outside at the same time.
The huge dragon roar was still as loud as a drum after crossing a distance of dozens of kilometers.
The invisible pressure made everyone’s heart tighten and their breathing quickened.
It was hard to imagine what kind of impact would be if they were in the core area of dragon pressure.
The master and servant looked at each other and read horror in each other’s eyes.
Of course, the two of them didn't know about the magic dragon, but they knew that this roar was definitely famous!
"North..."
"That's the direction of the Misty Canyon."
Baron Bezos swallowed and said with some difficulty.
Chen Xuan frowned and nodded slightly.
"There's definitely something wrong with Misty Canyon."
"It was there that Ansetus and thousands of laborers disappeared!"
"Now it seems that the problem there may be much more serious than we imagined!"
Roar can travel dozens of kilometers. What is the concept?
Chen Xuan no longer dared to think about it anymore. He silently increased his assessment of the threat of this demonic disaster.
It is foreseeable that there will be a tough battle waiting for him in the future.
The roar subsided for a long time before the two of them calmed down.
They were in the hall on the first floor of the castle, standing in front of the fireplace.
This fireplace is just a disguise, it is actually a secret door to the underground treasure house.
Baron Bezos pressed several specific points on the fireplace, and the rune secret door was opened.
A dark stone walkway was revealed, leading to the deep underground.
The air flow raised the dust in the corridor, and it was obvious that Baron Bezos rarely visited this treasure house.
Bezos led the way, followed closely by Chen Xuan.
After they passed through a slowly downward corridor, they finally arrived at their destination——
——The treasure trove of Lord Baron.
It's said to be a treasure house, but it's actually just an underground secret room.
The surrounding walls have been reinforced with runes, and there are tables, chairs, stools and two sets of low cabinets inside.
Large cash boxes are neatly stacked against the wall, as well as many antiques with unique shapes.
The light in the secret room was dim, and the smell of dust filled the nostrils.
It doesn't look like a treasure house at all. Instead, it looks like a basement that no one cares about.
But when Chen Xuan opened the money boxes, he changed his mind.
There are a total of twelve large cash boxes, each of which is square and square, like a treasure box that often appears in movies.
Seven of the money boxes contained dark gold coins.
Chen Xuan made a rough estimate and found that such a box could hold approximately two thousand dark gold coins.
Calculated based on two thousand pieces, the total value of each box can reach 2,000,000~2,478,000 crowns.
In addition, there are three boxes of Mithril coins and two boxes of Orichalcum coins!
As for black iron coins, it seems that they are not among Baron Bezos's savings options.
After all, the three currencies of dark gold, orichalcum, and mithril, apart from their monetary value, are also precious magic metals that can be used in many ways.
The total value of all the money boxes together exceeds tens of millions of crowns!
These are the wealth that Baron Bezos has accumulated over the years of his rule.
Chen Xuan had to sell a lot of magic tears to earn so much money!
Without any hesitation, he directly put the eleven cash boxes into the storage compartment.
Bezos was left with a money box full of dark gold coins for daily expenses!
