70: Two-headed dragon

"If we want to seize money from them using conventional methods, it will likely be difficult and troublesome.

Therefore, I need the two of you to snatch gold coins from some ill-reputed nobles and merchants in the kingdom.

If you truly encounter anyone unforgivably evil, kill them; consider it doing a good deed on the side!

But I don't require you to start robbing immediately. Spend some time first gathering intelligence.

After getting the lay of the land, complete all the robbery work within one or two days, so the Royal Family of the kingdom won't be able to react in time.

If you go house by house, investigating one and robbing the next, you might end up being ambushed by a Legendary Expert of the royal family!"

Hearing this, the two Sky Knights solemnly guaranteed:

"Don't worry, my Lord. We will act cautiously. Even if we unfortunately run into a Legendary Expert of the kingdom, we will absolutely not let them learn anything about you from us!"

Actually, the probability of encountering a kingdom's Legendary Expert in this matter is very small. After all, the operation will only last one or two days, and the kingdom cannot quickly figure out their pattern of movement.

Moreover, Arthur naturally trusted those purchased from the Portable Shop, so he quickly said:

"I know your loyalty, so you must pay even more attention to your safety. If even one person like you sacrifices himself, it would be a huge loss to me!"

"We will definitely not fail Arthur's trust!"

Seeing Arthur value them so much, the two were moved and swore their allegiance again.

Afterwards, the group discussed the detailed steps, and the two immediately left Initial City and headed for the kingdom.

They didn't even rest for a single night after receiving the assignment.

Arthur felt both moved and fortunate about this: moved that the two were so loyal to him, and fortunate that he had the Portable Shop to secure their loyalty... Another two months passed, and Arthur's fiancée Olivia's eighteenth birthday banquet was less than a week away.

Arthur had promised Paul half a year ago that he would attend, so he truly needed to schedule time to go.

However, since there were still five days, Arthur was not in a hurry.

Two months had passed, and his Shop had added four new items.

First were the two items Arthur himself chose to replicate. For the first item, he chose the captured Minotaur Kote.

After all, all the experts he could summon were from the Human Race, so adding a Beastman would make things more comprehensive. After the replication was complete, Kote was killed.

"He was once the Clan Chief of a certain Minotaur tribe, possesses Earth Attribute Battle Qi, and has the strength of a Peak Sky Knight.

Price: Ten million gold coins."

Of course, Arthur didn't replicate Kote just to increase the comprehensiveness of the items.

Since he dispatched experts to plunder wealth on the Human Race side, how could the Beastmen be an exception!

Therefore, he also replicated two Sky Knight Minotaurs, sending them to the Orc Royal Court to gather intelligence and prepare for action.

Unlike the Human Kingdom, gathering intelligence in the Orc Royal Court was merely to find out which tribes and Beastmen were wealthy, regardless of their morality, as it made no difference to Arthur, a human.

Now that two months have passed, the situation on both the Human Race side and the Beastman side has been largely understood.

But they haven't acted yet, for two reasons.

One is to let the previous situation calm down, allowing the Human Race and Beastmen to lower their guard.

The second is that Arthur doesn't want to add complications to this birthday banquet, planning to act after the banquet... And the second item Arthur replicated himself was the Sky Knight Greatsword that Victor and others had previously wanted!

"Sky Knight Greatsword, forged by a Forging Grandmaster using Black Iron Ore Essence combined with various rare Materials over several months, capable of splitting mountains and severing rivers with ease.

Price: Three million gold coins."

The price was acceptable. Arthur immediately equipped the six Sky Knights he had previously summoned with one each, spending eighteen million gold coins.

The remaining two items were randomly summoned by the System.

Whether it was luck or not, one of the items directly summoned the sky knight armor, which was a matching set for the Sky Knight Greatsword.

"sky knight armor, forged by a Forging Grandmaster over several months, capable of blocking eighty percent of attacks from Sky Knights and Grand Magi. It is a treasure coveted by countless Sky Knights.

Price: Four million gold coins!"

It seems armor is still more expensive than weapons!

Since they had the weapons, the armor naturally couldn't be missing. Thus, Arthur spent another twenty-four million gold coins to equip the six Human Race Sky Knights with armor.

With both weapons and armor complete, the strength of Victor and the others has now soared several times, allowing them to fight two to three of their former selves!

Therefore, Arthur's expenditure was worthwhile!

Next was the final random item, which Arthur found quite decent,

because it was a flying Demonic Beast. The previous Harpies had put immense pressure on everyone in Initial City, so flying Demonic Beasts are highly sought after in this world.

"Two-Headed Wyvern, possesses strength comparable to a Peak Earth Knight, has a certain degree of dragon Bloodline, and is a subspecies of Dragon.

They not only have high Magic Resistance and Physical Resistance, but their close combat ability is also good. Most importantly, their two heads—one can spray acid and the other can spray fire—are extremely powerful!

Price: One million gold coins!"

If he had been present during the previous war between Initial City and the Beastmen, it is estimated that a single Two-Headed Wyvern could have routed the thirty thousand Harpies who lacked Earth Knight level experts.

Furthermore, riding a Dragon is the dream of many people on the Continent of Gods, including Arthur!

Although it is only a Wyvern, it is still a Dragon. As long as he rides it, he looks magnificent.

Therefore, when Arthur first drew the Two-Headed Wyvern a week ago, he redeemed one, had a suitable Dragon Saddle specially crafted for riding, and then thoroughly enjoyed the pleasure of riding a Dragon.

At the same time, he experienced his first flight in life, which was extremely exhilarating!

Arthur flew from morning until evening and still felt unsatisfied!

After becoming slightly more proficient, he also took Karona, letting her sit in front of him, and they enjoyed the pleasure of riding the Dragon together!

They even rode the great Dragon together above the clouds to watch the sunrise and sunset, which was utterly romantic.

This made the love in Karona's eyes, when looking at Arthur, even stronger.

After all, few girls can resist something so romantic!

Regarding the matter of him gaining another Dragon, Arthur explained publicly that he had simply encountered it by chance, captured it with combined effort, and thus it became his mount.

Arthur had publicly displayed three Earth Knight Human Race experts, plus two Mountain Giants.

Capturing a Two-Headed Wyvern seemed plausible, so everyone didn't doubt his words, only envied him.

It must be known that most great Dragons would rather die than surrender. Although the Two-Headed Wyvern only inherited part of the Dragon Bloodline, regardless of how much strength it inherited, its unruly nature was exactly the same.

Making them a mount is extremely difficult.

Most would rather die than comply, and even those who occasionally submit will only serve as the mount of a true expert.
