Chapter 142 - 142: 140 Human Spy_l
The amount was much more abundant compared to the kind-hearted Red Dragon who donated his entire fortune.
Various gold and silver treasures reflected dazzling and enchanting light under the flame of Otto’s dragon claw.
Otto first swallowed hard, but couldn’t bear it anymore and rushed up, burying his enormous body in the pile of treasures.
He rolled around in it as if taking a bath, happily turning over.
Hard metal coins and gemstones with sharp corners would be somewhat uncomfortable for ordinary creatures.
But for a dragon, it was no different from a soft massage bed.
Since devouring three True Dragons, many draconic habits have gradually influenced Otto.
Although he was careful not to be too affected, there was nothing wrong with his love for treasures, right?
Moreover, the soul from the flower family that Otto originated from was inherently a treasure fanatic, but in the past, he just loved a type of red paper more.
Furthermore, there were no other entertainment options now…
Due to Otto’s sudden action, the only light source nearby disappeared, but luckily Sofia found the switch for the illuminating gemstones nearby.
Soon, various colors of light lit up one by one at the top of the hall.
Although Sofia’s expression was not as impulsive as Otto’s, her wide eyes seemed to be filled with golden light.
Moray was excitedly floating around a pile of treasures, having found a bunch of precious magic metals.
Many magic research topics that were shelved due to the insufficient mining capacity of the Sulfur Mountains could now be studied again.
After having enough fun, it’s time to consider how to take away these adorable and charming little treasures.
At first, Otto didn’t expect the Blue Dragon’s treasure vault to be so rich, and more than a dozen adult Ogres were not enough.
So, Otto contacted Saru through the scales under his dragon horn.
At his request, the Corrupted Elves led by Elise quickly rode over on Chimeras and Wyverns.
The Corrupted Elves first came to the dungeon through the teleportation array and respectfully stood by Sofia’s side, dutifully acting as the power banks.
During the previous battle, the Corrupted Elves, led by Elise, mostly hid in places with no one around and acted as edge observers.
However, Otto didn’t depend on them. As long as they could do their daily work well, that would be enough.
With the help of Corrupted Elf power banks, Sofia, who had restored her mana, used magic to create large Ice Chests again,
This time, they were specially designed for Chimeras and Wyverns, so they didn’t need to be made into backpacks, but more like hanging baskets.
Several adult Ogres, under the command of Second Fatty, were continuously loading various treasures into the ice hanging baskets from far away.
After being filled, Sofia would seal the top to prevent even a single gold coin from falling out during transportation.
Some Ogres were responsible for transporting the ice hanging baskets through the teleportation array and tying them to the legs of Chimeras or Wyverns.
Then it was a mechanical repetition of the work. Until all the treasures were packed and taken away, none of the flying monsters waiting outside were allowed to run around.
By the time Sofia had drained all of the Corrupted Elves’ mana reserves, the Blue Dragon’s treasure vault was finally emptied.
In order to uphold the noble principle of taking everything except for a needle and thread, everything else was taken away. Even the magical gems that served as lighting in the hall’s ceiling were all pried out and taken away.
It was well-known that many areas within Blackstone Castle still lacked lighting, so they couldn’t afford to waste them.
With all their magic drained, the Corrupted Elves looked dazed and weak, their bodies limp on the ground. They were later carried away by the Ogres on their shoulders.
Now wealthy, Otto casually threw a few gold coins into his mouth as a snack.
The gold coins, stamped with stars and moons, somehow tasted like hard candy to Otto, although without the milky flavor…
What concerned Otto more was that these gold coins with celestial patterns had much better quality than the ones in Blackstone Castle.
The casting process was also very exquisite. Compared to these coins, the ones at home seemed like cheap knockoffs from a small workshop.
But these were just passing thoughts for Otto.
He quickly put these aside, placed Sofia on his neck, and led a group of Chimeras and Wyverns carrying the ice baskets towards the Land of the Soaring Dragon.
As for the Ogres and Corrupted Elves, they had to follow the main force of the Soaring Dragon Legion and walk back home.
On the way back, Otto and Sofia kept an eye on the large aerial beasts, fearing they might lose some of the precious gold due to their clumsiness.
As a result, the speed of their return was a bit slower.
Compared to before the army’s departure, the Land of the Soaring Dragon hadn’t changed much, just appearing a bit desolate due to the reduced number of monsters.
Under Moray’s continuous scolding, the Chimeras and Wyverns put on bitter faces and carefully placed the ice baskets in front of Blackstone Castle.
Then, they hurriedly left to find a place to rub their nearly frozen claws…
Longfang and Dragonborn Beastman Krom arrived as soon as possible.
At Sofia’s request, Longfang gathered some remaining Quilboars and Ogres to carry the treasure-filled baskets into the inner palace where Sofia and Otto lived together.
The Half-Elf girl took out the Legendary Battleaxe and the huge Totem Pillar from the Treasure Bag and handed them to Otto.
After that, Sofia happily hummed a tune Otto had never heard before, bouncing and skipping off to the inner palace with Moray to count the treasures.
Meanwhile, Otto stayed in the Council Chamber, preparing to try to devour the Totem Pillar in front of him.
However, Longfang and Krom remained close, so Otto didn’t move, looking puzzled at the two of them.
“Is there anything you need to report to me?”
Upon hearing Otto’s low voice, the Quilboar and Dragonborn Beastman looked at each other. Then, Longfang stepped forward.
“Your Majesty, during your absence with the army, we captured several humans who sneaked into the inner city of the Land of the Soaring Dragon.”
“Humans?”
Hearing this, Otto immediately placed the two weapons on the Blackstone Platform covered with gold and treasures, then motioned for Longfang to continue.
From Longfang’s account, Otto quickly understood the matter.
In short, several adventurers or spies from Lait Kingdom had sneaked into the inner city of the Land of the Soaring Dragon at night, hoping for a lucky break.
Obviously, their luck wasn’t very good. Before they had a chance to make a move, they ran into Krom, who had no home to return to..
