It could be seen that Snowflake had been longing for a raise for a long time.
But she was a little proud and did not want to mention it in public. She was not a believer of Sui Xiong, so she could not contact Sui Xiong through the channel of faith. As for magic … She really did not know how to contact the Holy Kingdom from the human world.
As a result, this matter had been delayed for many years, and she finally found a chance to mention it today.
Sui Xiong was not a stingy person. After listening to her explanation, he thought about it and felt that her salary was indeed a little low, not worthy of her contribution to the Republic of Northwest. Snow was currently one of the consul of the Republic of Northwest. If she was not lazy and unwilling to take on more work, she could even be one of the grand consul.
At first, the Republic of Northwest intended to have only one grand consul, but later found that this idea was very unreliable. One person was not enough, unless he was Mr. Zhuge who intended to work until his death. As a last resort, the "grand consul" was set as the highest level of civil servants, roughly equivalent to a certain high-level character whose name in the country where Sui Xiong was born on Earth would become a censored word in novels.
Of course … even if all the big shots with blocked words in that country were added up, they would definitely not be a match for any of the Grand Consuls of the Republic of Northwest. And even if all the Grand Consuls of the Republic of Northwest were added up, it would still be impossible for them to have as much management work as even the most idle of the big shots with blocked words.
After all, the inhabited area of the entire Republic of Northwest was estimated to be equivalent to a prefecture-level city on Earth, and the total population was less than a county. Although the territory on the map was comparable to Canada, most of the places were the Ash Forest, mountains, and snowfields … It was like the territory drawn by the colonists in the old days on a map, and it did not make any sense at all.
At present, the entire Republic of Northwest had a total of three grand consul: Madame Teague who was in charge of the civil affairs of Void City, Leonard who was in charge of regular military affairs, and Felix who was in charge of the civil affairs of the four towns in the northwest. The next level of consul should have seven, three in Void City, and one in each of the four towns. However, so far, these seven consul had not been able to be gathered. On the contrary, because of the last civil servant examination, the lower levels of various chief officers and various grass-roots civil servants were almost full.
Sui Xiong estimated and then set a new salary standard for Snow.
"It's still a little low." Hearing this, Snowflake murmured, "This salary is enough to hire human officials, but I'm not a human. If there's an emergency, I can still fight. You should at least pay me the salary of a bodyguard. "
Sui Xiong was speechless and raised her salary again.
After that, he also gave Snowflake a few years' salary, which was roughly from the beginning of the expansion of the Void Mask Amusement Park until now.
Snow didn't expect that there would be such a thing as "back pay". She was stunned for a while and then sighed. "If you don't become a god, but a king, maybe you'll have a better future!"
"Maybe." Sui Xiong smiled and didn't dwell on this topic.
King? It was just so-so.
Could it be that Krieg Keane's achievements back then were inferior to the king of a small country?
After arranging for Shuang and Xian to rest, Sui Xiong thought for a while and sent out a Battle Clone to leave Void City.
After all, the adventure paradise "Dungeons and Dragons" needed a Giant Dragon to hold the fort. This Giant Dragon didn't need to be very strong, but it had to have a good character — at least it couldn't have bad habits such as eating people.
Think about it, if tourists found a dragon nest in the adventure paradise and tried to explore it, only to be eaten by the dragon … it would be a big scandal!
Since it couldn't have bad habits such as eating people, of course, he couldn't choose an evil dragon. Sui Xiong set his sights on the good Giant Dragon.
There were also different camps among the Giant Dragons. The good Giant Dragons were represented by the Metal Dragons — this didn't mean that their bodies were made of metal, but their scales had a metallic luster. The evil Giant Dragons were represented by the Five Color Dragons, whose scales were thick and turbid, like colorful rocks. The neutral Giant Dragons were represented by the Gem Dragons, whose scales were sparkling like gems.
It was strange that in many cases, a certain subspecies of the Giant Dragon would have a very different personality from the original species. For example, the White Dragon was a kind of evil dragon that liked to wander and wreak havoc, and didn't particularly like to settle down. However, its subspecies, the "Ice Dragon," was a famous Lord-type Giant Dragon. It especially liked to mark its own territory, and its personality was generally neutral and kind. The Black Dragon was the most insidious and cunning of the Giant Dragons, but its subspecies, the Crag Dragon, was known for being simple and honest. Even if it was relatively cunning, it was at most similar to Frost.
Sui Xiong wandered in the Main Plane for almost a week. After some screening, he finally came to a col in the south of the Broken Cloud Mountains, close to the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs.
There was a large copper mine here, but no one came to mine it. One reason was that the place was a bit remote, and the transportation was very inconvenient. The other reason was that there was a stingy Bronze Dragon, "Mark Bell."
Mark Bell was a Giant Dragon that had lived for about 500 years. For a Bronze Dragon, this age was a bit subtle. It was on the boundary between the "prime" and "old" years, and it was also an important dividing line between an "ordinary Giant Dragon" and a "legendary Giant Dragon."
Ordinary Giant Dragons would begin to age when they reached this age, and their spirits would gradually decline. They would slowly lose their vitality and sleep for a few months or even a year or two. When they woke up, they would only look for food, move a little, and then sleep again.
If they couldn't surpass this limit, ordinary Giant Dragons would gradually grow old in this state of decadence, and enter the age of old age. Giant Dragons in this era were also called "Twilight Dragons," which meant that their lifespan was almost at its limit.
Generally speaking, an Twilight Dragon could probably live for another 200 or 300 years, and then they would die of old age.
Of course, Twilight Dragons were actually rare, because most Giant Dragons could surpass this limit, which was relatively easy to surpass. Once they surpassed this limit, the Giant Dragon's wisdom and magic ability would be greatly improved, and they would begin to transform from Warriors to Spellcasters.
This process of transformation was a bit slow. Generally speaking, a Giant Dragon would not officially complete the transformation until it was about 700 or 800 years old, which was the time when an Twilight Dragon died of old age.
There was a word "Old" in the name of Twilight Dragons, but their strength was even greater than when they were in their prime. They were both powerful Warriors and excellent Spellcasters; they were both Legendary creatures and Legendary Adventurers.
This state often lasted for a long time, ranging from one or two thousand years to four or five thousand years. But when the time ran out, the Giant Dragon would still die of old age.
To surpass aging and death, Twilight Dragons had to go one step further and become "Ancient Dragons."
"Ancient Dragons" were the real existences that surpassed time. They themselves were Demigod Masters, and they often had a group of powerful subordinates.
As for the level higher than "Ancient Dragons," it was the "Ancient Dragons." Cladma, the God of Underground Caves and Underground Ruins, who had died inexplicably before, was one of the famous Ancient Dragons.
But the specific situation of Mark Bell, whom Sui Xiong was looking for, was still unclear. The last time he appeared in front of people was about 50 years ago. At that time, he was in the prime of his life, but he did not show any great magic ability.
So now some people guessed that he was about to enter his twilight years. For this reason, many adventurers had temporarily lived in a town less than 100 miles away from the "Bronze Valley," waiting for the news that Mark Bell had failed to break through and become an Ancient Dragon.
It was said that the one who had waited the longest among them had waited for nearly 10 years.
Sui Xiong did not want to deal with these people at all, so he turned invisible and flew over the nameless town, arriving at the Bronze Valley.
The valley was quiet and peaceful, and all kinds of animals lived peacefully. Although there was hunting and killing, there was a natural charm to it, which made people feel comfortable.
Sui Xiong flew into the valley and searched with his soul. He smiled and found a man in green who was lying under a big tree. The man's face was covered with a book, and he was snoring under the book.
"Wake up, Mark Bell!" Sui Xiong gently touched the man with his tentacles, but the dragon, who had turned into a human, did not get up. He did not even wake up. He just turned over and continued to sleep.
Sui Xiong did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not expect this bronze dragon to have such a hobby.
He thought for a while, took out a bag of gold coins, and threw them at Mark Bell's head.
When the gold coins slid over Mark Bell's neck and face, Sui Xiong clearly heard the sound of the dragon's nose and inhaling.
"The smell of gold!" Markbell, who was dressed in a green robe, threw the poetry book to the side as fast as lightning. His hands moved quickly, picking up all the gold coins nearby.
"Don't waste it!" He said to Sui Xiong seriously. "There are seven gods on each gold coin. You will be punished by God if you waste it!"
Sui Xiong was stunned. He wanted to ask, "Why didn't I know there were seven gods living on gold coins?"
But when he thought about it, he let it go.
He guessed that Mark Bell was just talking nonsense.
After a while, Mark Bell completely woke up from his sleep. The dragon, who did not look very energetic, sighed sadly as he played with the gold coins that Sui Xiong had given him.
"Alas! It would be great if that dragon ball belonged to a blue dragon or a water dragon! "he said.
"You have said this many times." Sui Xiong sighed helplessly. "Money is just a worldly possession, so are treasures. As long as you work hard enough, sooner or later you will have a dragon ball that belongs to you. "
"If I can borrow the power of that dragon ball, I can save at least two hundred years of hard work!"
"If you work hard under me, I can help you save a mere two hundred years."
"What? How are you going to save me time? "Mark Bell asked curiously.
Sui Xiong smiled and did not answer.
What else could he do? It was nothing more than special training, powerful special training, and devil special training …
If Mark Bell did not participate, then only Xian would receive training. What a pity!
