Western Fantasy Lord: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 105 Three Dragon People

The people of the Qingniu tribe stared in disbelief at the fiery clouds that illuminated the night sky like daylight.

They hadn't expected that the black ball they threw would be so powerful.

If someone is a beat too slow and hasn't had a chance to throw it yet, quickly stop and hold it in your arms.

Gao Ji stared blankly at the distant forest, the firelight casting an orange glow on his face.

At that moment, a bolt of electricity flashed blue in the darkness, and Vivian appeared beside Connors.

"How is it?" Connors asked, turning his head.

Vivian gave a thumbs up: "All wiped out."

Connors breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Connors." Gao Ji approached with a complicated expression and asked, "What... what exactly is this thing?"

Connors smiled slightly: "The Justice No. 2 ball mine, an explosive weapon, is a unique product of our Lily Town."

"Could you sell some to our Green Ox tribe?" Gao Ji asked urgently.

Although their Green Ox tribe was dirt poor, if Connors were to sell, he would sell everything he owned to buy it.

Connors shook his head.

Gao Ji looked somewhat disappointed. If they had this, they wouldn't be bullied by others anymore.

Connors explained, "It's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but I only brought that many with me this time, and I've almost used them all up."

"Furthermore, while it's true that a common man is innocent, possessing a treasure is a crime. If this item were to be noticed by other tribes deeper within the Chaotic Lands, have you considered what might happen to you?"

You should know that even the Duke desperately wanted the ball mine; if he weren't the son of the Duke of the Southern Territory, this technology might not have been preserved.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Gao Ji helplessly realized that Connors' words made sense. Those guys deep inside wouldn't reason with them. If they discovered such a good thing, the Green Ox tribe would not only lose its protection, but might also face bloodshed.

"All right...

'

After the flames subsided, Goki, Connors, and some of their tribesmen arrived at the site of the explosion.

The situation here was horrifying to the people of the Qingniu tribe.

Before me lay an open area, with broken trees burning with scattered embers and the ground riddled with charred craters.

Dozens of charred corpses, billowing smoke, lay scattered about, their bodies completely encased in hardened charcoal, obscuring their features.

As the wind blew, the charred corpses were instantly illuminated by embers with spiderweb-like cracks.

Gao Ji swallowed hard, and suddenly felt the urge to buy a ball from Connors again.

"Judging from this, we won't be able to collect much loot."

Early the next morning, Gao Ji, along with several members of his tribe, Connors, and Vivian, set off for the location of the energy crystal mine.

Qinghe Hills.

.

The purpose of this trip was exploration. Although the Qingniu tribe knew that there were many mineral veins nearby, they knew almost nothing about the specifics.

Reluctantly, Connors had no choice but to come along.

The road was rugged, and it took the group a long time to reach their destination.

The trees in the Qinghe Hills are not dense, and the terrain is undulating, like a wave.

Connors looked around and as he walked, he suddenly stepped on a hard lump.

He bent down and picked it up. After sweeping away the dust, a crystal as clear as glass was revealed before his eyes.

It's an energy crystal!

He was excited and quickly took out a shovel from the suspended bracelet and began digging on the spot.

Seeing this, Gao Ji, Vivian, and the others came over to help. Connors took out more shovels from the levitation bracelet and distributed them to them.

He bought all these things the day before leaving the northern fortress. After learning that the society here was underdeveloped, he bought many things and stored them in the suspending bracelet, so that they would come in handy in such situations.

As more and more soil was dug out, the energy crystals in the soil became more and more concentrated, until the shovel shoveled into the soil with a "clang" and hit some kind of hard object.

Connors' eyes lit up. He squatted down and gently peeled away the surface soil.

Thick layers of rock were exposed, with exquisite energy crystals embedded within them.

He called Gao Ji to his side and pointed to the energy crystals embedded in the rock layer, saying, "This mineral is called energy crystal, and this is what I need you to mine."

After returning to the Qingniu tribe, he took out many iron picks and shovels, which were convenient for mining, from the suspended bracelet and handed them to Gaoji.

After doing all this, he and Vivian rode on Flying Feather and returned to the northern fortress.

North Gate Office.

Connors sat on the sofa opposite Ophelia and said, "Duke, I have commissioned the Blue Ox tribe to mine a vein on the outskirts of the Chaotic Lands. I hope the Northern Fortress can provide them with some protection. Otherwise, with their actions so blatant, they may have a hard time surviving any crisis."

..

Ophelia picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "I can offer them shelter, but what can you give in return?"

Although Connors has established a relationship with the Grand Duke of the North, it doesn't mean that Ophelia owes him anything.

Connors pondered for a moment, then spread his five fingers and said, "How about I provide the Grand Duke with five hundred ball mines every month for free?"

Ophelia said, "1000."

"600 pieces," Connors countered.

"2000 pieces."

Connors: "???"

He was dumbfounded.

No, who taught you to bargain like that?

This is disrupting market rules!

Connors stiffened his neck, chuckled awkwardly, and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Well, let's keep it at 1000. I think 1000 is a good number, it's a lucky number."

Ophelia shook her head: "I won't change what I've said."

Seeing that she wouldn't budge no matter what he said, Connors felt a bit of a toothache and had no choice but to reluctantly agree. He had discovered that although Ophelia looked young, she was just like his duke father.

It's all Old Deng's fault!

Chaotic land, Qinghe Hills.

Three dragonmen with long dragon horns on their heads and red dragon tails swung behind them entered the area and noticed the large pit that Connors and his group had dug. They jumped down to take a look.

"Big brother, there's a human scent here." One of the female dragonmen, with short hair, wearing a leather skirt, and her wheat-colored waist exposed, sniffed the lingering scent in the air and said.

..

"No, not just humans, this smell..." Another burly, iron-pillar-like dragon-man sniffed the air, his expression changing: "White Tiger race!"

The man addressed as "Big Brother" turned around, his eyes burning with intensity: "Are you sure?"

"There's no mistake. You know my father; he likes to collect the skulls of powerful orcs, including those of the White Tiger. This place has a very similar scent to that skull," the burly dragonman said with certainty.

The female dragon-woman sniffed the area, her eyes filled with a strange look: "Besides the scent of humans, there's a strong smell of blue oxen and a faint hint of mountain wolf. It's really odd."

The burly dragonman gently wagged his tail and recalled, "The two tribes closest to here seem to be the Blue Ox Tribe and the Mountain Wolf Tribe."

"It can't be mountain wolves. They were once purged by humans and are extremely hostile towards them," the female dragon-woman said.

A few years ago, when Ophelia had just taken over as Grand Duchess of the North, she was annoyed by the orcs who frequently came to harass her.

When patience accumulates to a certain point, it's time for it to explode.

Ophelia personally led the Northern Legion into battle, wreaking havoc across the chaotic lands and wiping out the unruly tribes one by one.

It was only after receiving warnings from other countries and within the Steel Dragon that she had to stop; otherwise, she had even planned to wipe out the entire chaotic land and eliminate the root of the trouble.

However, Ophelia was not a bloodthirsty person. In her view, whether they were orcs or humans, they were just different in their positions, and she had no emotional inclination towards either side.

Those tribes that were wise enough to avoid being massacred by the Northern Legion were among them, including the Red Dragons.

However, the other branches of the dragon people were not so lucky. Currently, the dragon people branch is almost entirely reduced to the Crimson Dragon lineage, with the survivors of the other branches all being merged into it.

"Did you know that a while ago, envoys from the Silver Kingdom came to our tribe and asked us to help them find White Tigers? They'll trade a Great Elf for one, and they'll take as many as they can get," said the dragonman, who was called the eldest brother, his eyes shining.

The burly dragonman and the female dragonman exchanged a glance, their breathing becoming somewhat heavy.

"Lan, Bailier, let's go to the Blue Ox Tribe!"

On the tower of the Qingniu tribe, the guard on duty suddenly saw three figures enter the territory and he immediately became vigilant.

He drew his bow and arrow, and shouted, "This is the territory of the Green Ox tribe. Who goes there? State your name!"

Lan smiled dismissively, raised a fireball in each hand, and hurled it toward the two towers.

boom!

The two towers exploded with a deafening roar, and the two guards screamed in agony amidst the flames.

The commotion quickly drew Gao Ji's attention. As he approached, he saw two guards engulfed in flames, falling from the tower.

Thump... He fell to the ground, struggled for a moment, and then fell silent. Gao Ji was instantly furious, but when he saw the attacker's face that day, his heart sank.

Red dragons? What are they doing here?!

He approached the three red dragons, suppressing his anger at the death of his companion, and gritted his teeth as he asked, "May I ask what brings you three lords here?"

"Big Brother," the dragonman glanced at Bailier, then stepped forward, understanding the implication, and said expressionlessly, "A human and a white tiger should have arrived in this area recently. Did you see them?"

Gao Ji remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he felt a chill.

Are they here to see Connors and Vivian?!

"We haven't seen it."

"lie!"

Lan snorted coldly: "Your heartbeat was abnormal just now."

Orcs are generally more perceptive, and the three dragonmen all possessed the combat strength of guardian knights, so they were able to clearly detect Gorgione's heartbeat.

Gao Ji's face darkened: "My lords, I really don't know what you're talking about."

Bailier sneered, "I think you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

He flashed by, and Gao Ji's vision blurred as a whip kick came straight at him.

boom!

Gao Ji flew out and crashed heavily into a house in the distance.

"Chieftain!"

The members of the Qingniu tribe gathered around with concern.

"Cough cough cough..." Gao Ji coughed up a mouthful of blood and forced himself to stand up. He felt like his bones were about to fall apart.

He looked down at his chest, where a purplish-blue bruise was clearly visible, burning with pain.

As the clan leader, he had practiced breathing techniques, but because he had no elves, he had not yet reached the level of a guardian knight.

If it were any other member of the tribe who had been kicked like that, they would probably be lying on the ground, unable to get up right now.

At this moment, Bairiel conjured a fireball in his hand, casually pointed it at a pale-faced member of the Blue Ox tribe, and shouted, "Old man, if you don't talk now, your tribe will be the next target."

"I said..." Gao Ji silently apologized, then said helplessly, "The humans and White Tigers you mentioned came from the Northern Fortress, but they've already gone back."

Lan raised an eyebrow, approached a man from the Green Ox tribe, and coiled the flame in her hand around him like a snake. She asked playfully, "Is what your chieftain said true?"

Feeling the burning heat on his skin, the male member of the Green Ox tribe broke down, collapsing and saying, "The chieftain has reached an agreement with that person, and he will come again later."

Gao Ji closed his eyes, a look of guilt on his face.

He felt that he had betrayed Connors.

"Big Brother" Longren pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, since we have nothing to do recently, let's wait here for a while."

At this moment, he seemed to realize something, and suddenly turned around, looking back in confusion.

The leaves of the trees in the dense forest swayed gently in the breeze.

Dominic, holding Bianca's hand, trudged through the dense forest in terror.

That day, Connors's ball mines wiped out almost the entire fighting force of the Mountain Wolf tribe. When Dominic found out, he took Bianca out to play again. When they returned, they happened to see the three Red Dragons acting arrogantly at the village entrance.

The two hid in the dense forest not far away, using the thick leaves to conceal themselves. The leaves rustled in the wind, providing the best cover for any noise they might make.

After witnessing the whole thing, Dominic immediately grabbed Bianca and ran wildly through the dense forest.

We have to notify Connors, or we're doomed!

"Domi, slow down, I can't keep up," Bianca said breathlessly.

The two headed south and soon emerged from the forest, where a magnificent fortress appeared before them.

call out!

As they approached within a certain distance of the fortress, an arrow landed in front of him.

Dominic was forced to stop. He looked up and saw the soldiers on the city wall raising their bows and arrows, aiming them at him.

He froze, but remembering the crisis facing his tribe, he didn't care about anything else and shouted, "I am from the Blue Ox tribe, here to see Connors!"

The soldiers on the city wall looked at each other in bewilderment. The deal between Connors and Ophelia was a matter for the higher-ups; they, as low-ranking soldiers, would never know about it.

The officer in charge of guarding the city wall today had a stern expression. He waved his hand and ordered, "Fire!"
