"Old Wolf, give me all the gold coins and purple gold coins in the Magic City's vault and put them into my space ring."

"What? Give you all the gold coins worth tens of trillions of gold coins?"

The old wolf shook his head: "No, no, if I give it all to you, how can the residents of the Magic City still spend money normally? You suddenly want so many purple gold coins. Do you want to use this money to bribe the people on Dragon Island? Those dragons? That’s a good idea, but I can’t give you all of it. I’ll give you part of it at most.”

"Give it all to me if I ask you to. Why are there so many questions?"

Zhou Ming said impatiently:

"You said that in the Magic City today, are there still people using purple gold coins in their pockets? After the launch of the 'Alipay' mobile payment function of the 1st generation, think about it for yourself, have you ever used a cash currency? ?”

"Not to mention you haven't used it now, but you haven't used it in the past thousands of years, right? Everyone in the Magic City has a badge account. No matter when buying groceries or shopping, they use badges, which is equivalent to a cashless Payment, maybe in the current Magic City, many people have never used purple gold coins, but they have probably never seen them, and even if they have seen them, they don’t know that they can buy things..."

"I estimate that each of the gold and purple gold coins in the Magic City's vault has been untouched for thousands of years. Do you remember what I said?"

“If something doesn’t flow for a long time, it’s worthless.”

"This is not only true for knowledge, but also for gold coins that represent money. Why don't you give me all those useless gold coins?"

After hearing this, Lao Lang still hesitated and said: "If the citizens knew that the treasury was empty and the gold coins were gone, they would definitely panic!"

"It's not like the numbers on their badge account are empty. Why are they panicking? The money he's spending now is those invisible numbers, not the gold coins in the vault. There is no connection between the two. Why are they panicking?"

"Okay, okay, don't waste my time. Is it more important to conquer the dragon clan or those dead gold coins? Please give me an accurate answer!"

"Okay, I'll take you to the vault."

The old wolf really couldn't argue with him, so he could only take him to the treasury with the consent of the seven elders.

Kakakaka~

After the heavy metal door opened, there was first a blinding golden light, and then everyone was stunned.

Especially Zhou Ming, he was stunned.

many.

Too much.

This treasury, which covers an area of ​​twenty acres and is no more than several times larger than the castle where he lives, can only be described in two ways:

full.

Countless gold coins, silver coins, purple gold coins and a large number of gemstones and treasures filled the vault!

Even if the vault door does not open left and right, but opens inside and outside, it may not even be able to open the door.

Zhou Ming also found that he had made a mistake in his estimation.

The eight space rings he wears have a total capacity of 1,700 cubic meters, which cannot hold all the gold and silver treasures.

Can't even fit one percent.

In addition, the same is true for the space rings on the hands of Sails and Sabina.

Zhou Ming asked Old Wolf: "Old Wolf, there are so many treasures lying in this vault, don't you know?"

Old Wolf said awkwardly: "How do I know? It's my first time to come to this place." He is not a fake. He has been the president of the association for ten years, and it is indeed his first time to come to this place.

Zhou Ming was speechless, then faced the "golden mountain" in front of him and began to collect work.

Half an hour later.

Except for one reserved space ring, the other seven rings are all full, containing 1,600 cubic meters of treasure.

Sales and Sabina also collected some each, containing about 500 cubic meters of treasure.

The total is 2100 cubic meters.

Even so, the gold and silver treasures in this huge treasury were only slightly collapsed at the door.

Looking at the mountains and seas of treasure left, Zhou Ming shook his head: "Who said there aren't collectors among magicians? Otherwise, how could this vault be so full? I guess he must have been a dragon in his previous life."

In addition to packing a batch of gold and silver treasures, he also prepared some other gifts, such as magic lamps, artificial luminous diamonds, rainbow lights, etc... There are a lot of shiny things prepared, I believe those dragons will like them.

In addition, in order to maintain communication, Zhou Ming also brought a set of communication signal enhancement stations and a set of network signal bridging stations to ensure smooth communication with the Magic City 100,000 kilometers away.

everything's ready!

Summer is on March 15th.

Around seven o'clock in the morning.

Zhou Ming, Sails, Sabina and a magic saint-level expert named "Crofts" (who is also one of the seven elders of the Magic Association) boarded a large magic aircraft. , ran towards the east sea, and headed straight towards Long Island.

…

Magic flying machines are very fast.

Even under the control of controller Crofts, it flew at 20 times the speed of sound.

He often travels hundreds of miles away in an instant.

As a magic saint-level expert who has mastered part of the "space magic", the "teleportation technique" he used opened the eyes and fascinated Zhou Ming and others.

Not only that, he also gave Zhou Ming some kind "reminders".

"Boy, this mission is not as simple as you think."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

Crofts began to talk about the grudges between the Magic Association and the Dragon Clan.

Tens of millions of years ago, during the struggle between humans and elves for hegemony, the dragon clan adopted a wall-riding strategy, sometimes siding with the humans and sometimes with the elves, hoping to reap the benefits.

However, this approach did not please both sides, and was unanimously suppressed by the humans and elves. After suffering heavy losses, the dragon tribe declared neutrality, and neither side would help.

After humans became the overlords of the land, the dragons had to shrink their power and lost a lot of territory. They even hugged the elves for warmth and formed close allies... After all, in the eyes of humans, the dragons have countless treasures hidden in caves. From dragon meat, dragon blood, dragon scales to dragon bones and dragon tendons, they are all "mobile treasures" of money, so it is impossible for the dragon clan to form allies with humans.

Under the constant "hunting" of humans, the number of dragons has become increasingly rare.

Even if the dragon clan announces the termination of its alliance with the elves and takes the initiative to show its goodwill, humans will not be able to stop their pursuit of "wealth".

In the end, there were only a few thousand dragons left, and they all migrated to the Dragon Island overseas, thus avoiding the extinction of the race.

After recuperating on Dragon Island for millions of years, the dragon clan's vitality has been slightly restored, and the population has returned to 10,000.

But Dragon Island is short of gold and silver, and the nature of the Dragon Clan makes them unable to lack gold and silver. What should they do?

Rob.

Go grab the human kingdom on the mainland!

And there are hundreds of dragons, forming a group to rob the mainland.

That period, in the history of the eastern coastal countries, is called the "dragon tide plundering gold period".

During this period, the human kingdom was robbed of countless wealth, and countless humans died in the dragon tide attacks.

In this case, the Magic Association, which is very close to Dragon Island, stood up and resisted the dragon invasion again and again.

But at that time, the dragon clan was still very powerful, and the power of the Magic Association was not as strong as it is now. The powerful magicians of the Magic Association had no problem intercepting the dragon clan, but it was impossible to intercept the intrusions from any direction that were thousands of miles away. Dragon clan.

Therefore, "dragon tides plundering gold" still happen from time to time and are difficult to completely stop.

This passive situation was completely changed until a mage named "Bard" was elected as the president of the Magic Association.

Bud is full of hatred for the Dragon Clan because his parents, family, and most beloved wife all died in the "Dragon Tide Looting Gold". He practices hard and climbs up, just for revenge!

After he was elected as the president of the Magic Association, he believed that the fundamental way to solve the "dragon tide looting gold" was to go directly to Dragon Island and kill all the dragons! Only then can the problem be solved once and for all.

But at that time, the Magic Association could not gather so many powerful mages to form a mage army to kill more than 10,000 dragons. The Magic Association at that time did not have this ability.

So Bard carried out a series of reforms, built space teleportation arrays leading to multiple powerful empires, established a contribution point system, and attracted top mages from all over the continent to flock to the Magic City.

Only ten years after Bard's reforms were implemented, he formed a huge mage group with 50,000 legendary level or above mages and went straight to Dragon Island!

The dark war lasted for about five years, and both sides suffered heavy losses. However, the Magic Association had a steady stream of personnel to replenish it, but if one of the dragons died, they would lose their combat effectiveness forever.

The balance of victory continues to tilt towards mankind.

Especially the dragons on Dragon Island were killed to less than 3,000, and the entire dragon clan was about to be exterminated.

The Dragon God who lives above the stars, who is also the patron saint of the Dragon Clan, in order to protect his descendants, personally stopped the Magic Association, hoping that the Magic Association would let the Dragon Clan go without killing them all.

Of course Bard disagrees, and there are also protective gods on the human side, even more than one. If the Dragon God dares to take action against them, the Dragons will undoubtedly perish!

At this moment, two human protector gods (that is, Dharma God-level powerhouses) also rushed over and formed a confrontation with the Dragon God. The situation was very unfavorable to the Dragon Clan.

After several days of negotiations, the Dragon Clan chose to compromise. The Dragon God took away more than 2,000 Dragon Clan descendants. The remaining hundreds of Dragon Clan will continue to stay on Dragon Island and promise never to invade the human kingdom on the mainland. If there is any violation, , the Magic Association can kill Dragon Island at any time.

Bard's dream of killing all the dragons was shattered unwillingly, but there was no other way. With his ability, he could only go so far.

"In other words, the decline of the dragon clan is directly related to the Magic Association?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Yes, the existence of the Magic Association makes it almost impossible for the dragons on Dragon Island to leave Dragon Island." Crofts said.

"You said that most of the gold and silver treasures in the vault in the Magic City were seized from Dragon Island during the war against the dragons launched by President Bard?"

"Yeah, most of them."

"Fortunately, you told me this important information. If I didn't understand it, this mission might be messed up!"

The property robbed from the Dragon Clan and then given to the Dragon Clan is not a sign of goodwill, but a deliberate attempt to stimulate the other party.

Of course, some things have happened for millions of years. Even the dragon clan, which has a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years, after several generations of dragons, it is unlikely that those gold and silver treasures once belonged to their ancestors.

But what I'm afraid of is accidents. What if something goes wrong?

So Crofts' reminder was very timely. The cheating old wolf almost cheated him... But you can't blame him. It happened millions of years ago, and not everyone understands it very clearly.

In this informed chat.

About 4 hours later.

An oval island shaped like a coconut appeared in front of several people.
