Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 18 Drogo Film and Television Base Construction Plan
"Is this island really only sold for ten gold coins?"

Elsa looked suspiciously at the businessman in front of her. He was fat, had a curly beard, squinted eyes, and a smile that almost wrote "I have a bad idea" on his face.

Since returning from the Holy Mountain, Drogo has begun planning to build a film and television base to shoot "Journey to the Holy Mountain" and many possible subsequent films.

Land is very expensive in the city and Dragon Island is too far away. After searching for a long time, we finally found this small island southwest of the Twin Tower City, five nautical miles away from the port.

When communicating with the current owner of the island, I got this incredible price, ten gold coins.

It's not that she has become rich and arrogant, and doesn't care about ten gold coins anymore.

But for an island with an area of ​​more than 15 square kilometers, the price is really too cheap.

Not enough for Craig to order two sets of yo-yos!

Judging from the eagerness of the merchants, there seems to be room for price reduction.

"Of course, I only sell it for ten gold coins. I have been in business for so many years, and I have never cheated anyone. You can go to the city to ask around. I dare not say how big my business is, but my reputation is definitely guaranteed."

The businessman wiped his sweat and glanced nervously in the direction of the sun. The sunset glow was like brocade, dyeing the sky.

Elsa looked at the island. The terrain was very flat, and the highest point was probably less than a hundred meters above sea level. Apart from the fact that there were few trees for an island and it looked bare, there didn't seem to be any other flaws.

"Have you made up your mind? To be honest, I am in urgent need of money, so I have no choice but to sell the island at such a low price. It is also a helpless measure."

The businessman became more and more anxious as he spoke, and he looked at the sun frequently, only to see that the sunlight was about to sink below the sea level.

Noticing the merchant's anomaly, Elsa figured out how to figure out what he was hiding.

"Why don't you take me around the island carefully?"

"No need, there's nothing to see on this island."

"But what if I buy it after looking at it and feeling satisfied?"

"Then I'll take you to have a closer look at the island tomorrow. Why don't we go back today? It's almost dark now and we can't see anything clearly."

"I know lighting magic."

“No…” The businessman’s expression was about to burst. He glanced at the boat and tried to move towards it.

Just as he was about to take a step, he bumped into Drogo's dragon horn.

Before the businessman could explain anything.

"Yo——"

A shrill howl came from the shadows in the distance, and no one knew what creature made it.

Elsa looked at the merchant and tilted her head, as if to say, "Now it's time for you to confess."

Seeing that there was no point in hiding it any longer, the businessman confessed everything.

"This island does belong to me, but there is a tribe of Kuo-Tao fishmen on the island. They come out of their holes every night. I can't build anything on this island, and I can't grow anything either."

The businessman felt so aggrieved that he almost cried.

"Isn't there any adventure group organized to drive out this murloc tribe?" Aisha asked.

Logically speaking, this is the first thing businessmen would do. They don’t care about species protection.

"No, this group of Kou Tao fish people were here before the Twin Towers City was built. They are the indigenous people, and we are the latecomers. The government requires the protection of indigenous groups, so, can I leave?"

"can."

After getting Elsa's consent, the merchant ran towards the ship.

"Wait."

Hearing the voice behind him, the businessman fell to his knees and said, "I have explained everything I can. If I don't leave now, it will be too late."

Elsa threw a bag over and said, "Ten gold coins. You can also go to the city to ask around. I can't say how big the business is, but the reputation is definitely guaranteed."

The merchant picked up the money bag and crawled into the boat.

"So, how are we going to take over this island?" Elsa asked Drogo.

"Of course, we will kill most of the fishmen and keep a small number. We will put the remaining ones in the zoo for viewing. When we get tired of them, we will draw a protected area for them to live in. Then we will set up a Thanksgiving Day to thank them for giving up the island."

"Huh?" Elsa didn't follow Drogo's train of thought.

"Hehe, I was just kidding. How could I do such a beastly thing?" Drogo didn't expect that the Kingdom of Sutton was so civilized.

"You scared me, so what should I do?"

"There you go."

"Ah? I'm a fisherman?"

"It will win."

Elsa stared at Drogo's big red eyes, it didn't seem like he was joking.

"How do I win?"

Drogo drew a magic circle on the ground, a teleportation circle, which he had just learned, so that he could call people at any time. A flash of light appeared, and the drow team appeared.

"Help Miss Elsa change her clothes and dress her up in the image of the Mother of the Sea."

As we all know, the brains of creatures from the Underdark are more or less abnormal, and the Kuo-toa are particularly abnormal.

They are very fanatical about religion, but they are not quite sure if there are any real gods in this world, so they opened up a new track and created their own gods.

The highest-ranking god among them is a god called Mother of the Sea.

Although it is difficult to understand why, the Mother of the Sea, a god created by the fishmen, is a human female with shells on her shoulders and a crayfish head and claws.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s some evil demon from outside the domain.

After a while, Elsa reappeared with a lobster shell on her head, and her words echoed, "Can you explain what we are going to do?"

The plan is that Drogo is going to stage a play in which the murlocs of the Nameless Island are in distress and the Mother of the Sea comes to the world.

A little trivia about creatures in the Underdark: if you pair up any two intelligent beings there, there is a high chance that they will have a grudge against each other.

As it happens, he now has a team of elite drow warriors under his command.

Therefore, the drow will pretend to attack the murloc tribe. In the critical moment, Elsa, who plays the Mother of the Sea, will appear and summon the legendary dragon Drogo to defeat the invading drow in one fell swoop.

--------

As the night deepens, it is the time when the Kou Tao fishmen are active, coming out in groups of two or three to look for food.

"Look at this shell. I picked it up yesterday. It's so beautiful." A fishman was showing off his collection.

The envious eyes of its companions made it feel very satisfied, and it continued to boast: "This must be the shell that the great mother of the sea wore. Look, how bright it is."

The fishman held the shell high up, and it glowed with colorful colors under the moonlight.

“Swoosh—tap—”

The shell in his hand suddenly disappeared and was nailed to the ground by a crossbow arrow.

Turning around, I saw several tall figures walking out of the shadows.

It's Zhuoer!
Protect the tribe!
The murloc grasped the spear and was about to charge forward, but the drow in the distance suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. Before he could thrust out the spear, he felt a chill on his chest and the flash of a knife had already arrived.

A huge force pushed it backwards and it crashed heavily onto the beach.

Eh? Not dead?

Seeing his companion being kicked to the ground, the fishman had no time to figure out why he was still alive, so he stood up and ran towards the tribe.

"High Priest! Drow, there is Drow!"

The murloc priest noticed the commotion on the beach, and as the intellectual leader of the tribe, he quickly realized that they were no match for the drow.

But he was not afraid because he was protected by the great Mother of the Sea.

He chanted something, waved his staff, and began to perform the priestly ritual he created.

However, the drow was faster than it thought. Before the ritual was completed, it had already flashed in front of it and stabbed it straight in the heart with a dagger.

Oh, great Mother of the Sea, are you going to abandon your most devout believer?

The priest closed his eyes in despair.

However, the dagger was slow to arrive.

what happened?

It opened its eyes nervously, only to see the drow hiding in the shadows in panic and escaping into the distance.

"Roar--"

With a terrifying roar, a giant red dragon appeared in the sky. Its spread wings blocked the moonlight, and it spewed red flames from its mouth, driving the drow away in all directions.

As the dragon landed, a figure that made it so excited that it couldn't breathe walked down from the dragon's back.

A human body, a lobster's head and claws, and shoulders covered with dreamy shells.

It is He, the great Mother of the Sea.

All the fishmen prostrated themselves on the ground, crawling on the ground and not daring to look directly at the gods.

"This red dragon is my messenger. He will work with you to build this island."

Ah, the voice of the Mother of the Sea is so beautiful too.

The priest did not get up from the ground until She disappeared at the junction of sea and sky on the giant dragon. All the fishmen stared blankly in the direction where the Mother of the Sea left.

The priest felt that his soul had been sublimated and he could sacrifice his life without hesitation to execute the oracle.

But there was a faint doubt in my mind: why would the messenger of the Mother of the Sea be a fire-breathing dragon?
But it soon convinced itself that it should not doubt the Great Mother of the Sea, who was supposed to be omnipotent.
