The day after the silver dragon left, Earl Dumbledore also came.
Six warships were moored neatly in the offshore area of Tasman Island. Earl Dumbledore, with his entourage, entered on to the beach in a small boat and met with the White Dragon Lord.
Earl Dumbledore put his feets together, then his right hand on his chest, and performed a standard noble courtesy, "Salute to you! Dear Lord of the Islands, Lord Amos."
The White Dragon Lord glanced at the entourage behind the Earl. Gandalf and Jax were already on the list, and all the equipment had been worn once again ... It seemed that Earl Dumbledore had also spent his money to compensate them.
Jax glanced at the white dragon lord's dragon pupil, his neck shrank. Amos had left a serious psychological shadow on him.
Regardless of what Jax thought, the White Dragon Lord looked at the Earl in front of him as if he were a fat sheep to be slaughtered, nodding slightly, "Hello, Master of Bailey City, earl of Dumbledore's family, these courtesies should be avoided, Come on! Bring out the ransom! Did you prepare it?"
"Your Excellency Amos, I have brought a total of 3.5 million gold coins and 1.5 million worth of magic items. This is the list. Please go through it."
The entourage on the side took the list, walked forward and presented it with both hands.
Amos took the list and checked the items on it. These magic items had detailed introductions and were marked with market prices.
"The magic items are in this dimensional bag, and the gold coins are sealed and stored on the ship."
Amos rushed to the side and whispered something to Willy, and he nodded, understanding what his brother meant and turned around to fly to the ship.
Amos and the Earl of Dumbledore waited patiently on the beach. After a while, Willy returned and landed by his brother's side, "No problem."
It seemed that Earl Dumbledore still valued his heir very seriously.
"Well, great!" Amos said to Bruce who was trapped between the two ogres, "Boy! You can go."
Bruce heard the words, moved his steps, and walked towards the earl in shame.
As a lawful real dragon, Amos never thought of reneging his words, "You can go! But there can only be one such instance. If you dare to do it next time, then only the blood of the Dumbledore family can calm my anger!"
Seeing the white dragon lord lift his wings and was about to take off, Earl Dumbledore stopped and said, "Please wait, Lord Amos."
Amos was a little confused when he heard the words, "Oh, what else do you have?"
"Well, I'm here this time, I also want to establish friendship with you, Your Excellency."
Amos came with interest, "Friendship? You talk about friendship with a dragon! Are you not afraid that I will eat you without bones?"
Earl Dumbledore said, "Your Excellency must be joking. As a lawful and neutral true dragon, apart from the colour difference, what else is different!
"Furthermore, the news of Her Excellency Elena joining the Nine Eyes Alliance has spread. Even if I don't believe my judgment, then I have to believe in the vision of the Nine Eyes Alliance."
Amos said, "Well, the news spread quickly."
The Nine Eyes Alliance was well-known among the major races for its long-term eradication of monsters and had never recruited the existence of evil camps. The influence of Elena's joining the Nine Eyes Alliance had begun to emerge.
Amos's voice changed, "Even so, what qualifications do you have to talk about friendship with a real dragon?"
Earl Dumbledore always had his signature noble smile on his face, "Because we have common interests."
"Ha, interesting, I'll lend you an ear, what good can you bring me?"
"I have also been developing marine resources, but the number of murlocs under me has been unable to increase, and the output is very limited."
As he said, Earl Dumbledore looked enviously at the black breeding base outside the city of White Scale City, and continued to speak, "But now, Lord Amos has developed a large-scale breeding technology to obtain the rich resources of the deep sea. That said, it's as easy as digging into a bag."
Amos also understood what the earl meant: "Did you know that those commodities are the default items of the Black Crow Chamber of Commerce?"
"As the owner of Bailey City, I naturally know where the precious ingredients of the Black Crow Chamber of Commerce come from."
Amos raised his brows, "Oh? Now that you know, you still dare to touch the raven's profit?"
The Raven Council was the top power in addition to the three major spellcaster organizations, and they were not good people.
"I don't dare to. I don't want to get up the next morning with a death (crow) feather stuck in my pillow."
Earl Dumbledore was very honest and openly admitted the fact that he didn't dare, "However, I can still fight for the things that the Black Crow Chamber of Commerce doesn't like, such as seaweed and ordinary fish."
Amos frowned and said, "What do you want those things for?"
In this world, the noble lords' eyes, grains were generally self-produced and self-sufficient, and the shelf life of seafood was not as good as some dehydrated grains, and the hoarding value was low, so Amos became curious.
"Since you've asked, then I will not hide it from you."
The earl paused to organize his thoughts, "Your Excellency also knows that after my poor sister gave birth to the children of the Lowe royal family - the Baynes family - she left us. Now, only the two children are left there. Now that the old king is getting weaker, the princes are growing impatient. A battle to seize the throne would soon be inevitable."
"Though the Lowe Kingdom looks calm on the surface, secretly, turbulent winds are blowing underneath the facade, and the princes have formed factions of their own, so naturally I have to help my poor nephew. "
After saying this, Earl took out the handkerchief and wiped the wetness from the corners of his eyes.
Amos also understood what the Earl meant. Once the battle started, food production would be affected. If there was a stable source of food at this time, it might even determine the outcome of the battle.
There were no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits. This sentence was the eternal truth.
Amos nodded and said, "In this way, we do have room for cooperation. For specific matters, I will send a Murloc to discuss with you."
"Your Excellency Amos, I still have a ruthless request."
Amos raised his brows: "Since it's an unrelenting invitation, don't talk about it."
Count: "..."
"Ahem, I want to sign a contract with your Excellency, please protect the Dumbledore family when necessary. I am willing to ..."
"Shut up!"
Amos interrupted the earl's words and suddenly stretched out the huge dragon head in front of the earl, exposing his mouth full of sharp fangs. The fangs were still hung with sticky dragon gluttons, and the cold breath of the white dragon sprayed on the earl's face ...
The entourage behind the earl tensed and put hands on their weapons. Everyone shed cold sweat, lest the white dragon starts creating trouble.
Earl Dumbledore raised his hand to stop the movements of the entourage.
Amos narrowed his eyes, raised his head a little, and looked down at the earl condescendingly, saying in a cold tone, "What do you think I am? A mercenary? Human! Greed is the greatest sin!"
Earl said forcefully, "Your Excellency, first look at my reward. It won't be too late to conclude after that."
The strong self-confidence revealed in the earl's words aroused the curiosity of Amos, "Oh, what gives you the confidence to make such a condition!"
Earl took out a long box from his arms, the surface of the box was outlined with exquisite magic patterns, exuding a strong magical atmosphere.
He lifted the box to the white dragon's eyes.
Amos took the box, opened the seal, took a glance, immediately closed it, and put the box away.
"Good! Your request … I accept."
