  "Didn't you just swear an oath to Ryujin Hieber that you would tell me anything I asked? How can you go back on your word now?"

  "I've answered enough of your questions, even if I had sworn an oath to the dragon god, I would have done my utmost in benevolence and righteousness. There is no spiritual contract between us, and the current situation has exceeded its limits, so if you don't agree to my request, I will temporarily forget about that thing, sorry, my memory hasn't been great these years. This mine may be very useful for you, whether or not you want to know is up to you." Xian Nü Long said.

  "You need to understand one thing, the war song scroll that Guo Guo smashed out was only to summon the fire crane as his companion, as for why you were also implicated, I think you yourself are more clear about the reason. The brilliant light ring power of the war song to summon a demonic pet requires mutual agreement, so why didn't you object just now? Furthermore, a spiritual contract is a noble contract, it's an imprint that is engraved between the heart and soul, unbreakable, it means that from now on we are companions in life and death, not the kind of master-slave relationship treaty you think it is. In Bi Meng history, many noble priests died to protect their demonic pets, you have already made a huge mistake subjectively! Also, Guo Guo is not my demonic pet, what right do I have to order him to do something he doesn't want to do?" Liu Zhen Han smiled slyly.

  "My emerald dream only allowed me to extract the magical elemental power of Huohe in a state where our hearts were connected, but I didn't clearly understand Huohe's inner world. How could I have opposed it?" The fairy dragon was somewhat flustered: "Don't try to deceive me with boring lies! Despicable Bimeng! You and this Frostfur Pichu share the same resonating dragon breath, which is already a rare phenomenon of life convergence. How dare you say you can't command it? Are you not interested in knowing about the Great Mine now?"

  "What's 'Life Resonance'?" Liu Zhen was taken aback and rolled his eyes, clearly having never heard of the term.

  "In the dragon clan, the most caring expression of parents to their children is the fusion of life. In your two lives, no external force can affect your feelings, and you are destined to be inseparable from each other in this life and the next." The fairy dragon said.

  "I'm not a dragon clan, how can I have this... Obis Rach! Won't it be the curse of the Dragon Lord again after eating the dragon egg?" Liu Zhen was shocked and jumped three feet high.

  People from surrounding areas came pouring in.

  Many people still don't know that Lord Master had eaten dragon eggs and was also cursed.

  Cui Peishan's face was particularly ugly. Helen didn't dare to look at the instructor's eyes again, and quickly lowered her head.

  "A curse? What curse? This is a loving legacy of the Dragon Clan's bloodline! Don't spout nonsense, if you won't agree to my demands. Then just kill me, no freedom is better than death." The dragon maiden said.

  "So, I've been so fond of Guo Guo, and it's actually because of the curse? Not genuinely liking it from the heart?" Liu was stunned, blinking his eyes for half a day: "Nonsense!"

  "Which sacrifice would regard the calamity beast as a son?" The fairy dragon disdainfully curled her lip, countering with facts the proud Lord Pigg.

  "Hey, I'll just treat it as my son then. How about that?" Liu Zhen was shocked and hugged Guo Guo, pinching the soft and rosy little face: "Whether or not to let it have its way, if it doesn't want to, I won't force it."

  "Is it willing or unwilling to lift the contract?" The fairy dragon's voice was trembling.

  Guo Guo nodded her head. Laughing so hard that her small eyes narrowed into slits, she burrowed back into Liu Zhen's arms, hiding her face and messing up his clothes.

  "Why is the seal of the contract still imprinted on my heart? Why can't it be lifted even after I agreed?" The fairy dragon struggled to control her composure, trying not to lose her temper. But her voice had already risen by an octave.

  "What's the hurry? It's not too late to lift it after you tell us the secret of the mine." You're playing with me? Got a bit tender. A faint, almost imperceptible glint of cunning flashed in Old Liu's eyes.

  Guo Guo cooperated and lifted his head, his little brain nodded vigorously, and he took out a guava from his belly pocket, taking a bite and leaving two big tooth marks.

  "In fact, the secret of this mine is more useful to you than to Meng. I used it to gain my freedom, and you took advantage of me." The fairy dragon gazed at Guo Guo for a whole half day, and finally put her mind at ease. "Deception" should not be something that such a low-level demon could understand, it's a higher level of intelligence.

  "We've been waiting for your words for half a day." Cui Peishan said impatiently.

  "Why can't plants grow in red soil? The main reason is that the red soil contains a rich amount of metal elements, and this large quantity of metal elements makes it impossible for even the hardy wild grass to grow. The fragile plant fibers simply cannot withstand so many metal elements. This is the largest mine on the barren land."

  "What kind of mine is this!" Kuan Tu and the Bimon militiamen with erect ears let out a sigh of disappointment. Which land didn't have metal elements? Even the air was filled with all sorts of elemental compositions, or else how would magic and battle songs be driven?

  It's mainly iron oxide and copper oxide, right? Liu Zhenhua used red soil to burn bricks in the production team. Red bricks need to be burned for three days, while green bricks need to be burned for ten days. This is still understandable. If this can also extract minerals, then we'll be making steel on a large scale, surpassing Britain and America!

  The fairy dragon shook her head, and the large emerald ring face suppressed everyone's urge to ask questions.

  "You may think it's nothing, but the dwarves of Khazad-d?m consider this treasure given by Moradin, the dwarven god, because they possess a strange and unique plant that no other race has - the secret treasure of the valley dwarves, known as Mithril. It's the same trees you saw on Razor Hill."

  "Golden cicada?" Even the knowledgeable and experienced Cui Yuanshan had never heard of it.

  "This is a strange plant that can turn soil into gold, and the more its roots grow in poor soil rich in minerals, the more luxuriant it becomes. The 'Golden Mulberry' can absorb the rich metal elements from the red soil to become its own nutrients. Before the mulberry fruit is ripe, there is no difference with ordinary mulberries. However, after the fruit falls to the ground naturally, the skin will gradually rot, and the inner core is a pure metallic fruit. This metallic fruit contains other trace metal elements, and its metal structure is quite perfect. The ancient dwarves call this metallic fruit 'Golden Steel Fruit', which is harder than the high-quality carbon steel used by humans in the desert. Moreover, the 'Golden Steel Fruit' has excellent elemental compatibility, making it very suitable for crafting magical weapons." The fairy dragon scanned the silent crowd around her.

  "This plant must be of interest to the villagers." Liu Zhen said with a pleasant smile.

  "Do you also know Entwash the Treant?" The fairy dragon looked at this Pigg in surprise.

  "He and I are friends, we've had drinks together. Mu Shu Ren is said to know a few of you dragon clan."

  "I don't even know if it's true or false." Liu Zhen thought that it wasn't just a matter of acquaintance, he still owed him a favor and had been thinking of returning it to this day.

  "It's true, he and my parents were the best of friends, but there hasn't been any news of him in the Southern Cross Star Forest for thousands of years. It turns out that he has already awakened from his slumber." The fairy dragon couldn't help but reevaluate this guy who was even more mysterious than the Demon Lord.

  "Richard, don't interrupt the noble Dragon Fairy with your boring experiences. Please continue to dispel our doubts." The beautiful snake listened and felt embarrassed, glaring at Liu Zhen.

  "In the era of the Great War between gods and demons, the ancient firearm 'Gurī Faiyā' was cast using 'Golden Steel', not because steel had not been refined or invented 10,000 years ago, but because the Gurī Faiyā required a wind magic array to be engraved on it. Therefore, 'Golden Steel', which has good magical adhesion properties, is the only choice. Of course, 'Pure Gold' and 'Secret Silver', which are both hard and have good magical adhesion properties, can also be used to make Gurī Faiyā, but the amount of these two metals that can be mined is really too low."

  "Nonsense!" Liu Zhen said: "A pound of fine gold and secret silver can buy three fairy dragons back as maidservants."

  "Hmm... I've said what I had to say, now it's your turn to keep your promise, isn't it?" The fairy dragon didn't seem to think much of the threat.

  "There's something you haven't said yet. The bullet." Liu Zhen shook hands with Adou and threw him a copper bullet in the shape of a mulberry, holding it between his fingers, and asked Xian Nv Long: "What is this made of? Why is there no seam at all? Is the technical means stamping or welding? Why is there no bottom fire? Tell me the reason and I will let Guo Guo fulfill the promise to cancel the contract."

  "What is welding and forging? What is the bottom fire?" The fairy dragon was asked to be confused: "It's all said, the ancient power cannon can't be made without the help of the ancient dwarves. The 'Golden Steel' tree grows for eight hundred years or more, and the fruit that comes out, also known as 'Golden Steel', has a metal ratio that is severely imbalanced, with a large amount of mixed elements inside. Once it encounters a heavy impact, the disordered elements will mutually repel each other, causing an explosion. Every hundred years, the power of this elemental explosion becomes greater, almost comparable to the black powder invented by Master Gablin that can blast open rock layers. The ancient dwarves call this explosive 'Golden Steel' 'Molten Fury', which is seen as a bad omen, so the ancient dwarves usually cut down the Golden Steel tree when it grows to eight hundred years old, treating it as a consumable item. Until Master Gablin met Master Dao Gen, he discovered this secret and created the secret weapon that destroyed the demon clan's 'Black Obsidian Destroyer' flying corps. However, due to the difficulty of engraving magic arrays and the scarcity of ammunition, the ancient power cannon corps could only have a hundred-man formation. The magic impact cannon has the same principle as the ancient power cannon..."

  Using a delicate but powerful wind system magic circle, firing these "Moldavin Fury" is no different from the magical impact cannon using dozens of "Moldavin Fury" combined together into a large-scale

  "It's just a cannonball. This is also the reason why the 'Dwarven Fire Cannon' was named as such, despite being invented by the great master Gablin of the Earth Elementals." The dragon lady's words opened the eyes of these Boos, and it was clear that the long-lived Dragon Tribe, especially this wise and knowledgeable dragon lady, were indeed well-versed in knowledge.

  "Master Gabrin's broad-mindedness is truly admirable." Jingyu couldn't help but praise.

  "Speaking of which, I was also shot by a fire gun, and Korina was also shot. It's quite an honor to be hit by this kind of weapon." Liu Zhen looked at his own chest, where there was a sparse patch of chest hair, with a shallow wound cut by shrapnel still congealed with a layer of blood scab.

  "Excuse me, esteemed Fairy Yun, is the 'Golden Osmanthus' on Razor Mountain still able to cultivate 'Molten Fury'?" asked Muskman Adou timidly.

  "The largest one, the Golden Blossom Tree, is just over 800 years old. It was the first batch of fruit when Deke and you started the war." The fairy dragon sighed: "This was also obtained from the ancient Guli Dwarf tribe back then. At that time, the Guli Dwarf tribe had a 'Golden Blossom Tree' that was nearly 700 years old and suddenly turned black-hearted. The other 'Golden Blossom Trees' were all planted with stolen seeds."

  It's only been a few decades. This 'Golden Wattle' takes ten years to bear fruit, and just now that venomous python has destroyed quite a few of them in its rampage. Because we don't have the ancient dwarves' unique cultivation methods, these wonderful plants are being destroyed one by one."

  Cui Peishan turned around, her gaze sweeping towards the door and the empty space outside. A scattering of broken twigs and leaves, enough to make the beautiful snake guide's heart ache.

  As long as that 800-year-old tree is there, I don't worry about anything. Liu Zhen thought of the "Fountain of Life" treasured in the cave and his heart bloomed with joy.

  "Your profound knowledge has really broadened our horizons." Cui Peishan thanked Xian Nü Long very politely.

  "For dozens of years, you must have accumulated a lot of 'Golden Steel' too, right? Why haven't I seen any Golden Steel weapons?" Liu Zhen shook his fingers, sat back on the throne of the Earth King, and slowly extorted the Fairy Dragon with pleasure.

  "We obtained about 400 'Golden Seed' seeds from the Dwarf tribe back then, but due to our lack of cultivation skills, only less than 100 sprouted. Each 'Golden Seed' produces around 50 pounds of 'Golden Steel' per year. The first ten years were barren, and now we've harvested for over twenty years, with a total storage of about 100,000 pounds.

  I, the Dragon Maiden, have spent decades learning to craft magical weapons in many famous weapon shops across the Aegean continent. My goal was to create perfect Golden Fire Guns using this 'Golden Steel', but the more I researched, the more I realized that even with a small hammer, engraving a powerful wind magic array capable of propelling 'Molten Fury' thousands of feet into the air is impossible to achieve at the current level of alchemy on the Aegean continent, unless the Dwarf master Dogen is reborn."

  "Didn't anyone see through your disguise?" Liu Zhen was a bit curious.

  "We dragons naturally have a way to cleverly change our appearance. It's not a difficult thing, as long as we intentionally keep a low profile and don't stay in one place for too long, hiding our identities isn't a problem either." The dragon fairy rolled her eyes at him.

  "Awesome!"

  "This is nothing, we fairy dragons will learn to see it as life. I once studied theology in the church of San Francisco, philosophy and thought at the Montaigne Academy in the Vent Empire, and received the most systematic command combat training at the Teutonic Knights School in the Duchy of Neuvil, all under an assumed name or pseudonym, my military achievements were not outstanding."

  "You've trained your troops well, being able to integrate the land and make it so neat, it's not easy." Liu Zhen said was true.

  "Then you are boasting about yourself, dear Lord, didn't you defeat them?" said the Dragon Fairy.

  "I'll ask you one more thing, since you've been saying that this world's evil has changed its ways and turned over a new leaf, why did it attack Florence again?" Liu Zhensheng asked in a somewhat reserved tone.

  "Just let one of the fairies stand on the south bank of the Sanggan River, and the nobles of Meng will swarm in. You have plundered the living space of others, and the earth spirits have no choice but to fight." The fairy dragon said coldly.

  "Goblins, remember that it was Prince Richard of the Kingdom of Bimon who ordered me and you to fight. In the future, don't come looking for me for revenge!" Liu Zhenpeng rolled up a trumpet flower with his hand, and a chaotic noise erupted.

  "The last question has been answered, now hurry up and fulfill your promise." Xian Nü Long said urgently.

  "Hand over all of your 'Golden Steel' and then fulfill it without delay." Liu's tone made Xiāo Niáng Lóng feel somewhat uneasy.

  "Right under your seat, lift up this obsidian throne, underneath is a large underground vault storing all the 'Golden Steel'." The fairy dragon suppressed her anger with great effort.

  "Since you've learned forging, that's great! Help me forge a batch of Golden Steel weapons with this 'Golden Steel Essence'. Don't worry, I have enough manpower to help you with the rough work. You just need to guide them. Once the weapons are ready, I'll fulfill my promise to set you free, remember!" Liu Zhenpeng pointed at Xian Shi Long, who was about to get angry, and shouted: "It's not that I won't let you go, but you have to help me with something to make up for your loss. You even turned my wife into a poisonous person, you should show some remorse!"

  Guo Guo's little head leaned over and nodded vigorously.

  The fairy dragon gritted her teeth and stared at them, hesitating for half a day without responding.

  "Isn't that right?" Liu Zhen's eyes narrowed as he leaned in, his finger lifting the delicate face of Xian Nü Long.

  The fairy dragon turned her face away and continued to remain silent.

  "I'll make you surrender with just one sentence." Liu said. The fairy dragon turned her head to look at him, her eyes filled with contempt, and she enunciated each word: "I'd-rather-die-than-surrender!!!!!"

  "Get rid of all the goblins for me! Fairy Dragon, you're first!" Liu Zhen ordered Fruit.

  Guo Guo's big belly skin suddenly lifted, and the Medusa badge on his belly was immediately removed. He made a gesture to summon Borangsha Huohe, and another small claw hooked towards Xian Nv Long.

  "Who says I won't answer! I answered..." The disdain in the fairy dragon's eyes vanished instantly.

  Liu Zhen was shocked and burst out laughing.

  "I also have a condition." The fairy dragon suppressed her anger and took a deep breath.

  "Say."

  "I can help you forge weapons, but these dwarves, you must acknowledge their civilian status! It is not allowed to plunder their property, it is not allowed to degrade them into slaves without freedom!"

  "This is easy! I'll have the census office register them at once, they will become the second batch of commoners in Florence, they are free, and their private property I absolutely won't touch a single bit, but 'Jīn Jīn Shān' and Jīn Gāng are mine!"

  "It's settled then." The dragon fairy walked out of the gate and went outside to comfort those shocked and leaderless earth spirits.

  "Are you really going to let this fairy dragon go?" Cui Peishan asked Liu Zhenshen in a low voice.

  "Mentor." Liu Zhenhong smiled: "You don't need to ask this question."
