The reason why I say I am very "lucky" is because a special guest came that afternoon. Fortunately, this special guest only arrived after Joanna left.

Otherwise, Du Wei was very worried whether Loulan City would become a battlefield.

In the afternoon, a dragon roar came from the sky in Loulan City. The roar of this top-notch creature brought great panic to the humans in the city. Fortunately, under the maintenance of well-trained soldiers of the Tulip family,

Panic is under control.

Tens of thousands of people saw it, in the sky. A huge black cloud-like shadow streaked across the sky. It had long wings, a long tail, a huge body, and a huge head.

, sharp claws...

"Dragon!! It's a dragon!!!!"

After the first shouting broke out, countless responses were quickly received.

A huge adult black dragon circled in the sky above Roland City and gradually lowered its height. It confirmed that the soldiers below did not shoot arrows at it. Then it used a rich voice to make a human voice.

"Tulip Duke! I want to see Tulip Duke!"

Du Wei was frightened and met this dragon on the highest tower of his Duke's Palace Castle.

"Hello..." Du Wei looked at the huge creature in front of him. Its wings were flapping, and the strong wind blew on Du Wei's face, making his skin feel pain.

However, compared with the previous two dragon princes, this black dragon is an old acquaintance of mine.

"Oh... Du Wei! You hateful human being." The black dragon lowered its height appropriately. It stretched its neck and looked at Du Wei from a close distance.

Du Wei didn't care what the big lizard called him. He shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone: "Oh, the respected Chief of Guards of the Dragon Clan, the respected First Warrior and the First Wise Man of the Dragon Clan... Uh, are you like this?

When this time comes, do you want to ask me any wisdom test questions again?"

Du Wei couldn't help but feel funny when he remembered that the last time he almost made this stupid dragon think twice about the arithmetic sequence in mathematics.

When it mentioned its own embarrassment, the Dragon Guard Chief also became a little angry. He bared his teeth at Du Wei and said, "Oh, cunning human! I haven't figured out whether your answer is right or not! Damn...

There aren’t that many humans on the sacred mountain, let alone that many rooms!”

"You can calculate it slowly." Du Wei curled his lips and said, "Okay, Dear Chief of Guards, is your arrival a declaration of war on me? Oh... I almost forgot to thank you. Thank you for the information you provided.

, prevented me from dying in the hands of the two dragon princes in front of me. So, are you here on behalf of the third prince now?"

"The third prince is very dissatisfied with your actions." This stupid dragon sighed, but even when it sighed, its voice sounded like thunder.

"Dissatisfied?" Du Wei smiled: "I didn't kill that second prince."

"I don't care who killed that cowardly guy. As a king of the golden dragon clan, he can't even defeat me. If a cowardly guy dies, he will die!" This black dragon seems to be confident about his own strength.

Very proud: "The reason why the third prince is dissatisfied is: since you can kill one, why didn't you kill the other?!"

"Well...if I kill the eldest prince too, then I'm afraid no one can compete with the third prince for the position of clan leader, right?" Du Wei smiled softly.

Huh, the intelligence of these large reptiles is really very limited. How can such crude strategies compare to humans.

"So the third prince is very dissatisfied." The black dragon snorted. A ball of flame came out of its nose. Fortunately, Du Wei was prepared and used a magic defense to dissolve the flame, and then said with a smile: "Dear guard

Sir, please tell me, Your Highness the Third Prince, what else do you need from me?"

"Peace." Black Dragon seemed a little dissatisfied: "Your Highness asked me to tell you. No matter what, you have made some achievements... Although it is very weak, well, only a little bit. But your kind Highness still decided to reward you a little.

What. Our benevolent Highness is a leader who knows rewards and punishments clearly!"

A warm smile immediately appeared on Du Wei's face: "Oh? Then I don't know, your highness, the third prince, what are you planning to reward me?"

The black dragon stretched out its huge claws, and then slowly unfolded them. In the palm of its hand was a small, round bead that looked like crystal.

"What's this?"

Du Wei clearly felt a faint magic wave.

"This is a fire-avoiding bead." Black Dragon said in an arrogant tone: "This kind of thing is of little use to the powerful dragon clan. But it should be a good reward for the insignificant human magician.

In addition, the third prince told you that it is satisfied with you for the time being, so if it has any instructions next time, you must obey it."

Du Wei didn't care about the arrogance in the other person's tone... Faced with such a simple-minded idiot, Du Wei wouldn't argue with him.

After carefully accepting this "reward", Du Wei suddenly smiled at the black dragon. His smile was a little cunning.

Well, judging from this guy's tone, I don't have to worry about the third prince coming to trouble me again. Since the other party mentioned "next time", then the third prince shouldn't come to kill me before we cooperate "next time"

.

What a pity...I still want to get a dragon pet.

"By the way, the third prince should have returned to the sacred mountain." Du Wei suddenly raised such a question, which surprised the black dragon. Du Wei continued to laugh and said: "Are the criminals from the north coming again? Oh, no.

No misunderstanding, I just expressed a little worry about the great Earth Dragon Clan. If possible, I am willing to lend a little strength."

"Hmph, the great dragon clan doesn't need any help!" The black dragon simply rejected Du Wei, but it still gave some information that satisfied Du Wei: "Those guys will organize an invasion every few decades, but

We were defeated every time. So, you don’t have to worry! For us, it’s just a little supplement to fill up the abyss of sin! I hope that the more sinners come, the better! In this way,

We can chop off more heads of criminals to fill the abyss, and the dragon clan will also be liberated!"

"Do your job well, human being!" Black Dragon smiled disdainfully: "Now the third prince and the eldest prince have rushed back to the sacred mountain. As for you...His Royal Highness the third prince asked me to tell you, in view of what you have done this time

After achieving some results, it is very fond of you as a human being. If you continue to work hard, maybe it will lower its status and become your friend."

Huh, be friends? I really want to be its owner.

Du Wei secretly smiled in his heart, but smiled on his face: "Then...is there anything else?"

"No more!" the black dragon roared, and was about to flap its wings and fly away, but suddenly left the last words: "Hey... um... tell me the calculation method of that question when we meet next time!

"

Seeing this huge figure flying into the sky and gradually turning into a tiny bit... Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not afraid of this black dragon at all. With his current power, it is not a problem to keep this guy. And... there is a cuckold Gandalf in the cellar of the castle at his feet.

That old guy is displeased with the Dragon Clan! He just killed a dragon prince just because he didn't like it. If this old guy finds out about the black dragon's visit, he will probably kill another land.

But Du Wei didn't want to kill this stupid dragon. After all... After learning about the invasion of sinners...

Let's leave some strength to the Dragon Clan. After all, it's really hard to find a good watchdog these days.

Now it seems that the troubles of the dragon princes have been temporarily solved. Although Du Wei is not afraid of any dragon princes, after all, it is still very troublesome for such monsters to visit. Moreover, compared to the elegant eldest prince, the proud second prince

Look...this third prince doesn't seem to be a noble guy. Facing a powerful enemy may not be scary. But facing a powerful enemy with poor character will be very troublesome.

With Du Wei's strength, he is not afraid of a head-on challenge from a certain prince of the Dragon Clan. But if he plays some dirty tricks behind his back, it will be a headache.

Now that the trouble is solved, it seems that Du Wei can relax a little in the coming days.

Du Wei began to concentrate on thinking about the Northwest Corridor.

How to guard a canyon that is ten miles wide and dozens of kilometers long...

But at this time, another thing happened to Du Wei.

The trouble this time comes from the imperial capital!

Because of the previous incident of the Golden Wolf Head leading troops to sneak into the Dessa Province, the imperial capital was furious. Even if Prince Chen tolerated it, he would not be able to bear it in the face of this "blatant trampling on territorial sovereignty".

Even if Du Wei knew deeply that the empire was not ready for a full-scale war at all. Prince Chen would probably focus on accumulating strength and stabilizing internal issues in the next few years. For the time being, he would mainly focus on appeasing the grassland people.

land strategy...

However, the empire cannot remain silent on this matter. Otherwise, at least for the dignity of the empire, it will be an unexplainable issue.

Even if it is for the sake of face, you should show your toughness appropriately.

The royal court on the grassland seems to have a calm attitude. The grassland has sent envoys to the imperial capital.

I heard that the empire's military headquarters was in a quarrel over this matter. Several military bosses smashed several tables and smashed dozens of tea cups. There were even a group of young generals, and even

Wrote a letter in blood to petition the regent...

However, the negotiations with the prairie people did not yield a good result.

Both sides are arguing.

The grassland people didn't want to fight, and the empire didn't want to fight either. So the fight started with each other and turned into spitting at each other.

A month has passed since the beginning of this matter, but the negotiation table in the Imperial Capital is still in a state of anxiety.

Well, or, to be precise, the biggest job of the empire's diplomats and envoys on the grassland every day is to think of more things to say, and then spray them on the other side at the negotiation table.

Of course, in order to cooperate with the negotiations, the military also made some symbolic adjustments. For example, the Royal Guards Corps conducted a small-scale military exercise and issued a symbolic official document requesting the Northwest Army to enter a state of combat readiness...

But Du Wei knew that the value of this kind of official document was not much higher than bullshit.

The Northwest Army has entered combat readiness? Are you kidding! The Northwest Army has almost always been in a state of combat readiness for so many years!

Moreover, once the war starts, the army will be mobilized and countless amounts of money and food will be transported to the northwest... To whom? To the Northwest Army? To supplement the money, food and supplies to the Northwest Army? Prince Chen would not do such a stupid thing!

Du Wei can be sure of one thing: Prince Chen will not go to war with the grassland people before the northwest army is solved. This is the bottom line.

So the negotiation table became a place for politicians to perform. The war faction was busy making speeches and asking for war, while the anti-war faction was busy calculating the expected consumption figures of the war. They really spent their time, and it is said that they came up with a document that people can read

I can’t help but feel the chilling statistical results! Judging from this result, if the empire goes to war, it will probably set back the empire’s national strength for a hundred years...

But it just so happens that such exaggerations are very popular in the imperial capital.

After all, the empire has been at peace for too long. From top to bottom, a considerable number of people have become content with peace. They have an instinctive aversion or fear of war.
To be continued...
