Dragon of Catastrophe-Chapter 279 - 131: Launching an Attack on Black King City
About half an hour of walking later.
The three arrived at a castle on the city’s edge.
The Mage approached the soldiers at the gate, exchanged a few words, and after a few glances from the soldiers, they came straight over to the trio and said:
"You say you’re friends with Marquis Ronald. Do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence? Well, here it is."
War Wolf said, taking out a silver medal from his pocket.
"This is... isn’t this the Talent Recruitment Order issued by Marquis Ronald? Those who hold such a token are all talents appreciated by the Marquis!
I didn’t expect you three to have such status. Please wait a moment."
The soldiers’ eyes lit up; they mumbled a few words and quickly said something to the trio.
Then they headed into the castle.
Before long, a man in his fifties or sixties, with half-black and half-white hair and a noble temperament, his face with a few wrinkles, approached.
He scrutinized the three and said, "You’re the ones Ah Pu recommended. Besides this silver medal, what else did he give you?"
"Are you Marquis Ronald?"
Glasses looked at the man and asked.
"Of course."
"Then this is for you."
Glasses said, taking out a letter. Ronald opened it, his expression immediately stiffened, he clutched the letter and tucked it into his pocket, saying:
"Let’s talk once we’re inside the castle."
He said, turning to walk inside. Seeing this, the trio hurried to follow. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
But at this moment, the Caster shouted, "Hey! You three! Did you forget something?"
"Forget something?"
The three exchanged puzzled glances.
"Money! Didn’t you say you’d pay a Gold Taler for bringing you to Marquis Ronald?"
"Ah! It does seem like that’s the case, but we don’t have money!"
"No money? You wasted half an hour of my time and you’re broke? Are you seeking death?"
The Caster was furious, raising his arm, and several azure energy missiles began to form.
"Whoa, it’s magic! It looks quite formidable! What kind of magic is this? How destructive is it?"
War Wolf marveled.
But to the Caster, it sounded like mockery.
You’re the talents the Marquis wants to introduce, and you don’t even recognize Arcane Missiles? Who are you trying to fool!
"Alright! Alright! Everyone calm down, I’ll cover their debt."
Marquis Ronald said, tossing a Gold Taler to the Caster.
The Caster took the money and left happily.
Afterwards, the trio was taken by Ronald to a secluded secret room.
The Marquis stared intently at the three, sternly saying, "Are you sure you want to defeat the terrifying Demon Dragon, Land Saphis Oakben, and save the world?"
"Of course, it’s for this mission that we’ve come to this world! If we can’t complete this mission, what’s the point of our lives!"
War Wolf said with a confident smile.
"You three! Indeed noble warriors! Admirable!
These days, there aren’t many who dare to wield their swords against a Demon Dragon!
I heard from Ah Pu that you can create things like machine cannons, machine guns, rocket launchers, laser weapons, frozen bullets? Super Armor-Piercing Cannons, right? But how powerful are these weapons, exactly, for you to be so confident?"
The Marquis asked.
"How powerful?" The trio exchanged glances and suddenly burst into laughter:
"So powerful you can’t even imagine! Didn’t you say that Demon Dragon wiped out the entire Royal Capital? I’ll tell you now! Once we create these weapons, we too can easily destroy a Royal Capital!
Not to mention the Royal Capital! Destroying the world and making you the world’s king is no difficult task!
Slaying gods, demon hunting, it’s all easy!"
"What! Really that impressive?" Ronald asked, looking shocked.
"Of course! We’re not lying!"
"Then... can I see it?"
"We don’t have anything now, but if you help us establish a workshop, cooperate with our work, I estimate in two to three months, we’ll have some simpler weapons made.
Give us about half a year, and we can produce Super Armor-Piercing Bullets, laser weapons for you!
No matter how strong that Demon Dragon is, it’s just a creature of flesh and blood; facing these weapons, it’s sure to die!"
The three were full of confidence.
"This... is it really that strong? If what you say is true, I will reward you heavily!"
"Heh heh! We just need a little time!"
"Alright! Just some time, that’s all! I’ll give it! Whatever you need, I’ll provide!
But let me be clear, during this time, I will have people watching you, and if you fail to deliver results, I will make sure your deaths are miserable!"
"Don’t worry! If we can’t deliver, feel free to kill us! Be it beheading, disemboweling! Or drawing and quartering, if we so much as flinch, we lose!"
This display made Ronald trust the trio even more.
Good men!
He then began to actively cooperate with their work.
Time slowly began to pass.
As the trio started constructing a workshop under Ronald’s supervision, preparing to manufacture weapons,
those pretending to be dead kept drifting, with many drifting to civilized lands.
They continuously exchanged information in group chats.
"Damn! I think I’m underwater. Do you know, there are all sorts of fish-men around here and some mermaids that have the upper body of a human and fish lower halves; they are stunningly beautiful."
"Bro, send me an address!"
"I don’t even know where I am, how I got here, let alone give you an address?"
