Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 23 Attack on the Giants

After leaving the manor, Old Hadow hadn't left yet, waiting for Long and the others to come out.

Walking a distance, Vidirpan couldn't help but said: "That baron must be an evil person!"

Ron said indifferently, "Anyone who is not blind can see."

"Do you know that you are still trading with him?" Vidirpan was puzzled: "This human being is greedy, and even ignores the laws and regulations of his own kingdom to do illegal things. He has a way to die!"

Ron: "..."

As expected of a golden dragon, the ingredients are pure enough.

Ron didn't answer, but asked, "How long have you been in Blackstone Town before?"

"More than half a month." Vidirpan wondered, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"You have been dressed as adventurers in Blackstone Town for so long, have you noticed those prostitutes?"

Vidirpan frowned and said, "The alleys here are full of prostitutes, what do you want to say?"

"How much do they charge once or for one night?"

"You! You won't be so horny!?" Vidirpan was ashamed and angry.

This guy actually said such a thing in front of himself and Curelia!Moreover, there are two beautiful female true dragons beside him, but he is not interested in it, but has become interested in humans instead!
Sure enough, all mutant dragons are freaks!

"Six copper coins at a time, twelve copper coins a night, my lord." After they were sent out respectfully by the servants of the manor, old Hador bent down in front of them, paused for a while, and continued: "Young man Girls can increase the price by three copper coins."

Ron said lightly, "Six copper coins can only buy one kilogram of bulb potatoes, and twelve copper coins can only buy two kilograms. Selling the body can only get such a meager profit. Have you ever thought about justice for them?"

Vidirpan struggled and wondered: "They, they pay their bodies, and the mercenaries pay copper coins. This is a legitimate business transaction..."

Ron shook his head and asked again, "Have you seen civilians in the town?"

Vidirpan nodded hesitantly.

"The yield of bulb potatoes is very high, at least it is no problem to feed the common people, but the common people in the town are abnormally thin, and even a large number of women are required to engage in sex work to earn a meager income. What does this mean?"

Curelia said thoughtfully: "I seem to understand that this is caused by the baron's exploitation of the citizens. Too much agricultural tax and resident tax have been collected, which has made it difficult for the common people to survive."

"That evil guy should be dealt with more!" Vidirpan said angrily.

Long En sighed, didn't he say that Jinlong is very smart?Sure enough, the physique of dragons and dragons cannot be generalized.

"Are you sure you want to execute a human nobleman privately? Don't forget your identity."

By default, metal dragons cannot interfere with the normal operation of human society, especially gold and silver dragons.

Every rational and kind gold and silver dragon will try to avoid interfering with human society, because they know that if they are too powerful, they will inevitably have an unfair and unbalanced impact on human society, even if their starting point is good.This is inconsistent with their concept of fairness and justice.

"Then he should be reported and reported!"

Ron was completely speechless, and reported to the fief nobles?Report him on what?Heavy taxes?Exploiting the people?People will only tell you: Sorry, these are all in line with the laws of the kingdom for the fief lords.

What's more, even if you report it, there is a high probability that it will be ignored by the upper-level lords, and the common people report the nobles?In the eyes of those nobles, this is simply a big joke.

Glancing at Old Hador next to him who didn't seem to hear anything, Ron didn't continue talking.

Ron knew that the nobles in this world had problems like Baron Bray's. This was not something that could be solved by punishing one or a group of nobles. As long as the aristocratic system still existed, such things would never disappear.

Back in the town, Old Hado said his goodbyes and left, while the three of Lon and En went on to buy other things.

After hearing what Ron said before, when Curelia and Vidirpan looked at the poor civilians and prostitutes around them again, apart from pity, there was a little more anger towards the perpetrator in their eyes.

After buying the necessary items, the three returned to the tavern. The food will be traded tomorrow, and Baron Bray will have to spend some time processing the food, and Ron and the others will have to stay in town for a day.

There was still some distance from the tavern, and Curelia suddenly whispered with sharp eyes: "There are two people following us."

Ron, who was walking in front, spoke, but the voice came from their left side: "Don't worry, keep going."

It was only then that Curelia suddenly realized that Ron in front of her was just an illusion, and Ron himself had already walked towards the side alley under the cover of the illusion.

After silently finishing off the two stalkers, Ron shook off the blood on his hands and looked at the corpse with its throat ripped open.

"Humans are really strange creatures. They are greedy, stupid, and extremely fragile, but they still have something that can be called the glory of humanity." As a former human, Long En said with emotion.

After catching up with Curelia, Vidirpan asked curiously, "The baron did it? What does he want to do?"

Ron said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just that the baron has had enough."

Sending people to follow them in private is definitely not out of good intentions. It doesn't matter what the purpose is, as long as Ron knows that the other party has malicious intentions towards them.

"Didn't you say that you can't interfere with human society at will?"

Ron smiled: "You metal dragons are not good, but I am a blue dragon. Isn't it common for five-color dragons to kill some people?"

But now it's better to complete the transaction first, Ron doesn't want to cause any complications for the time being.

After one night, Ron paid a nonchalant visit to Bray Manor and completed the deal with Baron Bray, who also seemed to have nothing happened.

Ron was extremely generous when paying the gold coins, without any reluctance - anyway, he had already decided that he would get them all back after a while.

The three dragons walked out of Heishi Town, and after confirming that there was no one around, they changed back into the form of a real dragon, and rose to the sky under the cover of the cloud and mist technique.

Curelia and Vidirpan, who were used to the human form on weekdays, didn't feel much, but Ron only felt refreshed after finally recovering the dragon.

Ron felt that this might have something to do with the five-color dragon's distaste for turning into other creatures, especially weak ones.

In the eyes of five-color dragons, only real dragons are the most noble creatures. They disdain to become humanoid like gold and silver dragons. The freak of the real dragon.

Ron knew very well that the influence of the true dragon's nature on him was becoming more and more obvious, and his mentality had been changing towards a true dragon, but he did not reject this change.

Whether man or dragon, he is always himself, and that is enough.

With flapping wings, Ron was enjoying the feeling of riding the strong wind for a long time. Suddenly, he noticed something a bit abrupt at the edge of his field of view.

"Wait, is there something moving in the northern woods?"

Hearing this, Curelia and Vidirpan both looked towards the north. Among the dense forests, a large group of huge humanoid creatures were constantly breaking or pulling up the trees blocking the way and moving slowly.

Ron said in a deep voice, "It's a hill giant!"
