After rebirth, one gold coin bought the Elf Princess

Roland: “…”

He was very sure that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor was somewhat out of touch with the masses.

Hiring people to dig thousands of miles into the vast sea of ​​sand and dig frantically within an uncertain range, not to mention how to maintain logistics support and how much it would cost, even a fool would know that Roland was looking for treasure.

He has many enemies and they will definitely come to cause trouble.

After a brief calculation, Roland spread his hands and said half-jokingly, "Hiring 300,000 workers to go deep into the desert, using tree-planting magic to provide food supplies, and using transport convoys to replenish tools and other supplies will cost at least 20,000 gold coins a day."

“And that doesn’t include unexpected expenses.”

"No one knows how long this excavation will take, three months, a year, or ten years? I don't have that much money."

"I have!"

Valenie raised her head and said, "The treasure trove of the tribe is not short of gold, silver and jewelry. As long as we sell some of it, we can maintain the excavation project."

Seeing Valenie's serious expression, Roland was somewhat moved, but he still rejected her.

It is a pity to take money from someone. If you take the Dragon Emperor's money today, can you still refuse her request tomorrow?

Although Roland believed that Valenie would not take advantage of someone in distress, he still chose to refuse.

He doesn't want to be controlled by others.

Seeing that Roland was unwilling to accept it, Valenie thought he was worried about the money, so she frowned and advised:

"Roland, the day of annihilation is getting closer. You must become stronger. It is very important to find the claws back."

"I know, but we can't do it in a big way. The enemy won't let us keep digging. And those damn adventurers will swarm over us like flies smelling blood."

Valenie was speechless for a moment.

She really hadn't thought about that.

She subconsciously put herself in the environment of Dragon Island and believed that the project could proceed smoothly.

She frowned and thought, trying to find a better way, but to no avail.

It certainly wouldn't work just with her and Roland, and hiring someone to attract attention wouldn't work either.

Neither this nor that worked. She felt a little annoyed that she knew the claw was somewhere underground but couldn't dig.

"Let's dig down first."

Seeing that he was stuck in a deadlock, Roland simply decided to get on the road first and then find a way out.

Although she didn't think it was a good idea, Valenie couldn't think of a better solution, so she agreed.

At least Roland is willing to persist in the search, which is better than giving up directly.

As a noble magician and a sacred dragon, he certainly doesn't have to do the digging himself.

They summoned elementals and sandworms and began digging along the soft sand.

The sandworm, which is good at digging, is a typical monster from another world. It can only survive for a period of time after being summoned by Tiamat.

These unintelligent low-level life forms are between flesh and blood life and elemental life. Their bodies are made of flesh, blood, and sand. They have no brains, only simple biological instincts.

Roland's method of driving the sandworms was also very simple. He used the smell of food to lure the sandworms, allowing them to continue digging downwards in pursuit of food.

The combination of sandworms and earth elements is very suitable for digging, and a huge pit dozens of meters deep was soon dug.

To avoid being discovered, Roland summoned sand to cover the top of the giant pit and used trees as support to create a stable structure that would not collapse even if a caravan passed by.

Under his plan, sandworms and earth elements quickly dug out an underground city under the sea of ​​sand.

The extra sand was transported to a place hundreds of miles away through teleportation to create traces of tomb robbery.

There are three such disguises.

Even if someone passed by, they would only find traces of tomb robbery but would not be able to find his underground city.

Sandworms are very efficient, but also very inefficient.

Because after five days, sandworms began to die on a large scale.

Not every otherworldly creature can survive on the plane of Tiamat.

Sandworms have very strong vitality, but the atmospheric composition of their plane is completely different from that of Tiamat, which is also the main cause of their death.

Watching the insects fall in droves, Valenie fell silent.

She didn't want to say anything discouraging, but it seemed that the method of digging by summoning creatures was impossible.

Roland sat on a clean open space, summoned the magic dining table, took the lavender arcane snacks from the table, and ate them slowly.

"What are you..."

Valenie was a little confused about Roland.

"You have to eat when you are hungry. How about a piece of cake? It's delicious."

"Does this make sense?"

Valenie was speechless.

Of course she knew about the magic dining table. This magic was actually an entertaining magic created by the Dragon God on a whim, and it was later spread.

Convert magical energy into food, which can be turned into calories when eaten to provide life needs.

It looks great, but there will be two energy losses during the conversion process, which is far worse than directly converting the magic energy into heat and providing it to the human body.

The magic dining table is more often used as a means to test the ability to control magic.

The Dragon God himself can convert energy into food at a rate of over 99.99%, with almost no loss. On the contrary, it can greatly improve the taste of food, which can be considered a very useful entertainment magic.

The conversion rate of ordinary magicians is generally below 50%, which is a complete waste of energy.

The conversion rate of demigod-level magicians rarely exceeds 80%.

Valenie stared at the magic table, observed it for a moment, and asked in surprise: "How much magic energy did you use just now?"

"One standard unit of arcane energy."

Roland said calmly, picking up the magic spring to replenish his water.

Valenie's eyes lit up instantly.

She grabbed a piece of cake in disbelief and put it into her mouth to taste it.

“Your conversion rate is over 90%?!”

"About 93%." Roland said calmly.

He didn't understand why Valenie was so excited. He once achieved a conversion rate of 97%, but now it was far from his peak.

If he didn't want to eat something good to adjust his mood, he wouldn't want to summon at all.

"Do you know what a 93% conversion rate means?!" Valenie was a little excited.

"It means 7% of energy is wasted. Are you going to eat it or not?"

The conversion rate is low, so what? Is it necessary for you to be so excited and mock me?

Roland said indifferently.

As long as you make fun of yourself before Valenie does, she won't be embarrassed to follow you and make fun of you.

Valenie didn't choke on the cake, but on Roland's words.

"Eat, why not eat!"

Now that it has been summoned, it would be a waste not to eat it, not to mention that this is a magical snack with a conversion rate of 93%.

Because it is entertainment magic, it naturally has some joking attributes. For example, the deliciousness of magical food is directly linked to its conversion rate.

The higher the conversion rate, the tastier the food.

Magic snacks with a conversion rate of over 65% surpass most human chefs, and snacks with a conversion rate of over 80% are quite delicious.

She had only tasted the magical snack with a conversion rate of over 90% in the Divine Realm.

It was a product summoned on a whim by a high-level Dragon God messenger, with a conversion rate of about 92%.

The high-level Dragon God messenger was very satisfied with the summoning results, so he asked the young sacred dragon to share it. This is Valenie’s best memory of the magic snack.

In the somewhat dim and eerie underground palace, the originally unhappy mood caused by the stuffiness disappeared with the delicious magic snacks.

Both of their hands reached for the last dessert almost at the same time.

Seeing that Valenie had a good appetite, Roland smiled and retracted his hand.

The last and first desserts were far more delicious than the others, but since Valenie liked them, he didn't feel comfortable arguing.

Valenie picked up the snack, cut it in half with her fingertips, and handed it to Roland.

Through this action, she hinted to Roland that Tiamat was big enough for both humans and dragons to survive, and they should cooperate sincerely and share the fruits of victory.

Looking at the smiling expression and clear eyes on Valenie's lips, Roland took the snack and put it into his mouth.

You have some conscience and know not to eat alone.

Since you’ve eaten my snack, you’re not allowed to object to me later!

Roland didn't have as delicate a mind as Valenie. He only had one thought in his mind now, which was to quickly get his claws back.

After eating and drinking, Roland looked at the last sandworm lying quietly in the corner and said in a deep voice:

"Sandworms are limited. Last time we summoned all the sandworms within our visual range. We can't summon more in a short period of time. What should we do now?"

The summoning of life from another world is not very grand. Its essence is to open a channel between two material planes that can allow low-level life to pass through, and then sit back and wait for the rabbit to come to the claw machine.

The higher the level of summoning, the more powerful the life that can be summoned is, but there are also more restrictions.

The general principle is that the ecological balance of the summoned world must not be destroyed, otherwise there will be backlash.

If a powerful being from another dimension were to make an opening on Blue Star, taking away some rats and cockroaches would not cause backlash. However, if he kidnapped a group of pandas, they would most likely be backlashed before they could finish summoning them.

All in all it is very troublesome.

Sandworm summoning is a low-level summoning technique that can summon millions of sandworms at a time, but they cannot be summoned again for a long time after being summoned.

There are billions of sandworms in every patch of sand on the plane where the sandworms live. Taking away millions of them will not affect the balance at all, nor will it cause any harm to Tiamat.

If a few of them get lost occasionally, they will die within a short time and will not become an invasive species.

Looking at the dead sandworms scattered all over the ground, Valenie suggested softly, "Let's hire some people. We've dug so deep, we can't give up halfway."

"If we hire too few workers, it won't be enough. If we hire too many, secrets will be leaked." Roland reminded softly.

There was a sharp flash in Valenie's eyes.

"So what if we are discovered? We are super dragons. Who dares to stop us?"

"Don't mention dragons. The dragons have been driven out for too long. Have you forgotten the Titan Convention? The appearance of dragons on the continent will be regarded as an invasion. The strong men of all races are obliged to unite to hunt down dragons."

Valenie was speechless for a moment.

She is very strong. Even a dozen peak level six human beings are no match for her. However, there are too many peak level six warriors from various races on the continent. If there are too many people, she will not be able to stop them.

Roland looked up at Valenie and said in a deep voice, "I have a way, but you have to avoid it."

"What method?" Valenie's curiosity was aroused.

"Dead domination."

If he wasn't familiar with the dragon, Roland would never have mentioned necromancy in front of the sacred dragon.

After all, holiness and necromancy are completely different paths of magic.

"Do you want to revive these sandworms?"

"Yes, dominated undead sandworms can work tirelessly, as long as they replenish their magical energy regularly."

"Then I have to stay. Can you compare with me in terms of abundant magical energy?"

Roland looked up at Valenie, somewhat incredulous.

He instinctively thought it was a test, and asked in a deep voice: "You don't reject necromancy?"

"You may have a misunderstanding about necromancy. Controlling the dead is not evil in itself. What is evil is the act of transforming oneself into the undead."

"The Necromancer is still a member of the Order camp, but the Undead Wizard is an absolutely evil person who has joined the Undead camp."

It turned out to be the case.

Valenie had served the Dragon God for many years and was very familiar with the God's attitude.
