Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 318 Fishing Guy Never Air Force

The underground prison of the Golden Empire Inquisition is hell for all those with evil intentions.

But this hell is different from the imagined world of flesh, darkness, broken limbs, but exceptionally clean and quiet, so quiet that the slightly heavy breathing of each prisoner can break the silence.

The green dragon Antajiana's humanoid form is also extremely tall.

Based on the aesthetic standards of the ancestral red dragon Kalon Gogmora, this green dragon has a tall humanoid skeleton, is about 1.9 meters tall, and has a plump figure.

He also looked exceptionally tall standing in front of these spellcasters and warriors whose limbs were bound to steel racks with magic-forbidden chains and shackles.

Antajiana looked down at the human in front of her, her pupils as crystal as emerald gems revealing a chilling coldness that made people shudder.

A kobold prison guard took out a syringe from the tray with a grin and drew the ice-blue potion from the test tube.

This ice-blue potion, the Devil's Happy Potion, is an arcane material that has been purified to the extreme. Its cold and pure color seems to be able to bring rationality and calm power to people.

But the spellcaster who was tied to the steel frame showed a look of fear on his face, his whole body began to tremble, and he howled weakly: "Let me go, let me go, noble dragon, I am willing to be loyal to you, I am willing to tell you all the information I know, and I am willing to do anything you ask me to do."

In the cells next door and across the street, those companions who were also driven by the same purpose and will began to laugh.

These men sent by the Harper Alliance and the Southern Noble Economic Alliance began to expect their companions to be happily corrupted and embraced by darkness like themselves.

Only in this way can one get some comfort and relief from the darkness in one's heart, and a sense of satisfaction that comes from not having too little but having inequality.

That is the poison of the devil, corroding these people who originally had a heart of justice, both physically and spiritually.

No matter how frantically the wizard in front of him struggled, no matter how harsh his wailing and begging were, the kobold guard remained steadfast in injecting the cold devil's poison into the wizard's blood vessels.

The ice-blue arcane potion began to spread, and the blood vessels on the mage's forehead and neck were like bulging blue veins, filled with icy blue.

One could even see through the blood vessels and see the cold potion flowing in the blood vessels spreading towards the mage's heart and limbs bit by bit.

"Ho, ho,"

The increased dose of devil's poison fully spread and took effect. The distorted expression of fear on the struggling and wailing mage's face began to calm down, his rapid heartbeat became unusually slow, and even an indescribable sense of calmness and detachment began to appear on his face.

Just like every great master’s sage moment, the satisfaction after obtaining the universal truth.

And in the rest of the prison cells, there were sighs of mixed satisfaction and disappointment.

A faint smile appeared on the beautiful face of the green dragon Antajena.

Originally, these spies from the Harpist Alliance and the Southern Nobles should have been interrogated separately and controlled independently, so as to avoid the possibility of her plan being easily discovered by others. After all, in the world of magic, there is a high probability of miracles happening.

A miracle that can fight against one's own corrupt will.

But Antajiana likes to do it.

She wanted everyone to watch their companions slide from light into darkness and feel the fear.

She wants all those who dare to harbor ill will towards the Golden Empire to experience their own involuntary depravity after seeing their companions fall, so that their minds will be distorted to the maximum extent and their self-righteous justice and light will be covered by darkness.

Antajiana can gain the pleasure and emotions of controlling others from this behavior, which is far beyond the feeling that power can bring. There is no doubt that this is the nature of the green dragon.

For this purpose, Antajiana even increased the dosage of the drug to ensure that these people with strong wills would be invigorated, feel unprecedented happiness, become addicted, and rapidly expand their own happiness threshold, so as to manipulate these people's twisted minds.

However, this devil's poison is not completely without advantages. In addition to invigorating the spirit and refreshing the mind, the mental concentration of all creatures will be greatly improved for a period of time after taking or injecting the devil's happy potion.

In the spellcasting profession, it can be said to be a rare auxiliary spellcasting material. This effect can allow some spellcasters who have difficulty controlling their chaotic minds to release higher-level spells.

Even during the period when the Devil's Joy Potion takes effect, the spellcasters' comprehension and meditation abilities can be greatly enhanced.

The terrifying thing about this meditation efficiency is that the meditation efficiency of a low-level spellcaster can be comparable to that of a mid-level spellcaster, and can even allow creatures such as goblins and kobolds to temporarily gain an understanding of knowledge and meditation efficiency comparable to that of a low-level wizard.

So it is not without reason that Antajiana named this potion the Devil's Happy Potion. During the period when the potion takes effect, even the devil needs to praise this potion!
Of course, if the effect of the potion fades, these people will face extremely horrific torture. The emptiness of life is just the starting point. The inability to perceive happy emotions and the crazy increase in thresholds are the first wave of torture.

What follows is the chaos of being unable to control one's emotions. In short, it is a test of one's will.

If their will is unable to maintain their own autonomous consciousness and they are not replenished with potions, these people will become mad beasts that lose their minds and consciousness, just like a dragon affected by the Dragon Madness spell.

"The great evil queen of poison, the lord of desire," the caster showed a calm fanatical look on his face. Not only did he feel the benefits of the potion, but the greatly improved wisdom and mental strength also allowed the caster to easily glimpse his future position.

If he disobeys the orders and will of the green dragon in front of him, his fate will be the same as those of his companions who were dragged out, with snot, blood and tears flowing, immersed in endless painful wails, and reduced to a beast.

The kobold guards undid the caster's shackles, allowing the caster to move freely.

Antajiana looked down coldly at the noble spellcaster in front of her who was kissing the tip of her shoe almost fanatically, and smiled.

"What's your name?" Antajena chuckled. In fact, the names of these spellcasters had already been exposed by the companions who arrived here first, but Antajena enjoyed this feeling.

"Great Master, your loyal servant's original name was Nacha. If your will requires me to change my name, I will resolutely carry it out!"

Antajiana looked at the humans and half-elves in the surrounding cells, whose faces looked dull and numb. They became somewhat excited and agitated because they smelled the residual scent of the devil's poison.

Many spellcasters even squeezed their faces into the huge gaps in the railings, looking at the green dragon Antajena with strong desire in their eyes.

Even Nacha couldn't help but shudder when he saw the looks of his companions.

"No need," Antajiana turned and walked out of the cell. Her figure gradually disappeared, leaving only the green dragon's chuckle. "Just stay here. I'll find a chance to let you go." "I need to think of a reasonable reason. After all, I am a noble ruler, not a devil. How can I keep noble people like you trapped in this dark dungeon?"

……

The alliance between any countries and forces cannot be achieved through a few verbal agreements. It requires constant consultation and discussion to reach a unanimous alliance and final agreement.

The same is true of the agreement between the Golden Empire and the Elf Kingdom.

Although the ultimate goal of the Golden Empire has been determined and the Elf Kingdom's delegation is anxious, in the alliance between the two countries, the agreement of an elven princess still needs to be approved by the Elf Kingdom's Parliament and the Elf King.

Even if the agreement of the Elf Princess Isabelle Adjani takes effect immediately, subsequent negotiations are inevitable.

For example, in what form should the Golden Empire provide assistance to the Elf Kingdom and how many legions should it send without causing panic in the Elf Kingdom.

The elimination of internal forces within the empire is also a preparation made by the Golden Empire for subsequent wars.

Although the reinforcements sent to the Elf Kingdom this time will definitely not be too many, in order to prevent other forces from taking the opportunity to make irrational moves, the rulers of the empire still decided to clean up the internal situation.

As for war, it is not something that can be achieved overnight. War supplies and food logistics are of paramount importance.

In the more than ten years before and after the founding of the empire, the Golden Empire, under the will of the dragon, dug a grand canal that spanned the territory and connected the northern and southern territories.

As the empire's ruling territory expanded westward, the empire's canals needed to be dug from east to west to connect the east and west seas, forming a logistics system between the ports and the hinterland of the empire.

In addition to canals, the empire also built cities on a large scale. Giant cities sprang up on the land, which required huge amounts of money and materials.

There are also huge expenditures for the empire in industries such as education, medical care, people's livelihood, magic technology revival and research, and military manufacturing.

In addition, the province-city-township-village system established by the empire also consumed a large amount of wealth for operating expenses and welfare subsidies of various departments of the empire, as well as various miscellaneous expenditures.

Compared with these expenditures, the dividends distributed to the Gogmora dragon group are like a stream to the sea.

Moreover, with the development of the empire, the expansion brought about by the mature military and political system also consumed a large amount of wealth.

A mature armament system brings about fully dedicated elite soldiers. The generous welfare benefits and food consumed by these elite soldiers are also an unimaginable wealth.

If the Golden Empire had not opened up several worlds and accumulated original capital by constantly detecting and mining the small dimensional planes surrounding the world of Ekania, even if the empire had such rich and unique land, it would not be able to cope with this kind of gold-devouring consumption.

You must know that not all planes of the world can have a mature civilization system and stable resource acquisition like the world opened up by the Golden Empire.

Among the many planes and worlds explored by legendary wizards, there are many worlds that are even inaccessible to mortal creatures and have no established civilizations.

Some worlds are made up entirely of sea and can only be explored by aquatic creatures. Not only is the efficiency low, but the output is completely disproportionate to the effort put in.

In other words, Charon possesses some incomparable conditions that enable him to accurately obtain these resources, allowing the empire to grow wildly at an unprecedented rate.

But even if the Golden Empire possesses resources from several planes, it will not exempt the Elf Kingdom from paying the resources it should.

"This is how it is between countries. We cannot give up direct interests just because of some friendly relations. We should rather tilt the policy, such as the tax policy of customs trade. This win-win situation is the correct way to develop relations."

Kalon Gogmora explained.

The divinely favored Naga Galun does not need to stay in the sea for a long time like other Nagas. She has the magical protection of the ancestral red dragon and can follow the ancestral red dragon for a long time.

Compared to combat, this Naga's understanding of politics is far from comparable to that of the head maid Chariz.

However, the fact that the God-favored Naga Garun was willing to take the initiative to learn about it was a good thing for Kalon. After all, this also meant that if Garun had potential, then the burden of the Ancestral Red Dragon would be much lighter in the future.

The maid Chariz, who was reading the empire's military and political report, raised her lips slightly. The god-favored Naga Galun raised her eight arms and for the first time put down her weapons to learn to serve others.

The punch, which was a bit heavy for other creatures, hit Charon's body just right.

However, the ancestral red dragon's body was huge, having grown to thirty meters in length. Even when it was crouching, it was still an absolute giant beast. Even with the tall body of the divine Naga and her snake tail coiled around it, she could not reach the back of the red dragon.

The divinely favored Naga secretly glanced at the two-headed white dragon Kamide lying opposite. When the dinner time was approaching, the aroma of the delicious food had made one of the white dragon's heads look around involuntarily, appearing particularly aloof.

Eating in Kalon's castle has become one of the habits of the white dragon Kamide. Of course, coveting the Naga Queen is also the purpose of this white dragon.

In front of the ancestral red dragon, the white dragon Kamide always maintains his original nature, which is an incomparable preference.

However, Kalon firmly rejected the white dragon Kamide's request to take the Naga Queen as his spouse.

The eyes of the God-favored Naga flickered. She knew that in front of the ancestral red dragon, she didn't need to pretend to be pretentious.

So she asked softly, "Your Majesty, will Your Majesty go to the Elf Kingdom in person? I have heard about the ancient civilization of the elves in the kingdom of the deep sea, and I really want to see the kingdom of the elves with my own eyes."

Karon bared his fangs and smiled softly, "Of course I will go. There is the Empire's new hunting ground there."

"But I won't go right away. The empire exists because of us dragons. They are our tentacles and hounds for hunting. Those warriors are also the sickles that the dragons use to harvest the fruits. They will help us get rid of the trouble."

"Of course, after the Empire's warriors leave, the Empire will announce to the outside world that the Emperor of the Golden Empire is traveling west to establish good relations with the Elf Kingdom."

Jialuen smiled and said, "I know that Your Majesty is a fisherman on the seashore and likes to fish for giant whales in the deep sea!"

"Smart," the ancestral red dragon raised its tail claws and smiled, "In fact, I also want to see how many enemies are hidden in the dark corners of the empire. After all, the intelligence that Antajiana got from her torture did not reveal any 'big shots'. This little bit of information is not enough to satisfy the appetite of a giant dragon."

　I've made up for it, thank you all for your votes!
