The Trickster King

Chapter 154 Do Not Harm My Lord

Xiao Xun continued, "Moreover, if the Jingji Group is forced to withdraw from the domestic market due to this incident, Western countries will consider the Jingji Group to be in their camp and will absolutely try to win them over.

At that time, the global market will see a new wave of growth. If you want to make a quick buck, now is a good time to buy at the bottom.

Although the domestic market has been lost, the international market will break through to higher levels. We still need to cooperate with them. Now is not the time to kick them while they're down, but to offer a helping hand." wap.kanshuwu.net

Mu Jiahe smiled and nodded in approval, "It's rare for you to see things so clearly."

Xiao Xun heard Mu Jiahe's praise, "Of course, I'm just analyzing this issue from a technical perspective, and these things just came to mind."

When it was about time, the two of them returned to the other world.

Mu Jiahe sat up in bed, "Are you planning to go with me to see Boulderjia and your Polgard, or are you preparing..."

Before Mu Jiahe could finish speaking, snores from the other side answered Mu Jiahe's question in place of Xiao Xun.

Looking at the sleeping Xiao Xun, Mu Jiahe really wanted to reach out and hit him, record it, and tease, "Hmm! Like a little white pig."

He halfway reached out but restrained himself, got up, changed his clothes, and headed towards the underground palace.

Construction workers in Saint Luoman were working overtime through the night to build a place for the two dragons to live, but finding a large enough open space in the prosperous Saint Luoman was quite difficult.

They first had to relocate the original residents and then level the houses. Since Saint Luoman had never kept dragons before, the architects had to consult many books and begin planning the location and construction methods.

The two dragons could only stay temporarily in the broken underground palace. Because of the contract they signed, and because these two dragons hatched in Saint Luoman, the dragon race would not cause trouble.

But this did not mean that the dragon race would not inquire about the matter. The Dragon Emissary was already on her way, and her purpose was singular: to ascertain the origin of the dragon eggs.

Sailor Pith looked at the gradually awakening Great Black Dragon in front of him and ordered the prepared live sheep and captured young magical beasts to be sent over so that the Great Black Dragon could feed immediately.

Xiao Xun slept until dawn before waking up. After sleeping for a night, his neck and waist ached, and he felt like he had caught a chill last night.

Looking at the rising sun outside, Xiao Xun quickly got dressed, left the castle, and drove to the underground palace.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the underground palace, he found it had already been taken over by the city's guard. Not only had they cordoned it off into a perimeter that not even a fly could enter, but they had also erected a three-story high scaffold and enclosed it with a large waterproof tarp, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was happening inside.

Even several mages had simultaneously set up forbidden magic here to prevent forceful breakthroughs from the outside and to stop the two dragons inside from attacking.

The head of the guard army stood two steps below Xiao Xun every day during the morning court. Of course, he recognized him and let him pass directly. kanshuWu.net

As Xiao Xun walked inside, he smelled a foul, fishy odor. He frowned, covered his mouth and nose, and continued walking inward.

When he reached Sailor Pith's side, he saw the Great Black Dragon tearing into a magical beast. Although it was not as large as the magical beast from Mount Migal, it was still significantly larger than an ordinary magical beast. It was easily torn apart by the Great Black Dragon, which was chilling to behold.

"Why has your dragon started feeding already, and mine is still in the ice?"

Hearing Xiao Xun's slightly complaining voice, Sailor Pith had a playful expression, "Who told you you're a gifted genius, capable of casting ice magic with such power? Clearly, this dragon is no match for you."

After speaking, he looked at the Great Black Dragon, "Isn't that right, Boulderjia?"

The Great Black Dragon even swayed its large head in agreement.

Xiao Xun pointed at the Great Black Dragon in surprise, "It can understand human speech?"

The Great Black Dragon looked at Xiao Xun, "Not only can it understand, but it can also speak a few words."

Xiao Xun was stunned, mainly because he was overwhelmed by the Great Black Dragon's foul breath. He pinched his nose, "Got it, got it. Speak less in the future, and when you do speak, don't direct it at people."

The Great Black Dragon roared up to the sky, "What are you, daring to mock me? I'll eat you."

As it spoke, its body lunged forward with the momentum of Mount Tai crushing down, its claws aimed directly at Xiao Xun's head.

The speed was extremely fast, and Sailor Pith had no time to react.

Xiao Xun instinctively raised his hands to shield his face. This was pure physical damage, and his two arms couldn't possibly withstand it.

Just as its claws were less than a meter away from Xiao Xun, a deafening roar echoed.

"Do not harm my master."

Seeing that the other party was not attacking him, Xiao Xun lowered his hands, opened his eyes, and saw the purple-skinned two-headed giant dragon extend its claws, blocking the Great Black Dragon's assault.

And that roar just now was naturally uttered by the two-headed dragon Polgard.

Sailor Pith waved her hand and shouted, "Both of you, stop fighting."

The Great Black Dragon glanced at Sailor Pith, then shouted at the two-headed dragon, "You deformed freak, get out of the way."

The two heads of the two-headed dragon combined were not as large as the Great Black Dragon's single head, but it had the advantage of having two mouths, making it very effective in a verbal spat.

With two mouths scolding one, the Great Black Dragon, out of respect for Sailor Pith, could not make a move, and the scene was quite comical.

Xiao Xun shouted, "Polgard, shut up."

The two-headed dragon immediately fell silent. Seeing that the two-headed dragon had stopped speaking, the Great Black Dragon did not dare to utter another word.

Xiao Xun said to Sailor Pith, "Your Majesty, it seems they must be separated, otherwise, if they keep arguing, who can stand it?"

Sailor Pith also agreed. She hadn't expected such great animosity between them as fellow species.

"Captain of the Guard."

The Captain of the Guard ran over upon hearing Sailor Pith's call, "Your Majesty, please instruct."

Sailor Pith said, tilting her head up, "Notify them to build another Dragon Taming Office, but make sure it is very far from the other one. Preferably one in the south and one in the north."

The Captain of the Guard bowed to Sailor Pith, "Yes."

At this moment, a minister walked over. He first glanced at the dragons with immense shock in his eyes, then bowed to Sailor Pith and said, "Your Majesty, the funeral is about to begin."

"I know. Have the people responsible for feeding these two dragons be careful, lest they swallow them."

After speaking, she looked at Xiao Xun, "Let's go! Come with me to send off Prime Minister for the last time!"

Sailor Pith and Xiao Xun arrived at the Fire Shield Divine King's Palace by carriage. The entire street was solemn and dignified. The city guard stood on both sides where the hearse passed, bowing their heads in silent tribute.

After Sailor Pith arrived, the High Priest announced the official commencement of the funeral. The first item was the firing of cannons.

Three cannons were fired into the sky at the entrance of the Fire Shield Divine King's Palace. Then, at every kilometer, three similar cannons fired blanks into the sky, creating noise but causing no harm.

After twelve consecutive cannon volleys were heard from the mountaintops, the second item commenced: the Empress's address.

It mainly recounted the Prime Minister's achievements and shortcomings during his tenure.

After the address, the Empress had no further role. The rest was entirely handled by the High Priest and a few elders from the Senate.
