It can be seen that Xuehua misses the salary increase for more than a day or two.
It's just that she is a little arrogant after all and is unwilling to mention this matter in public, and she is not a believer of Sui Xiong, so she cannot contact Sui Xiong through faith channels. As for magical contact... contacting the Kingdom of God from the human world, such a powerful magic, she really doesn't know how to do it. .
As a result, this matter has been delayed for many years, and it was not until today that she found the opportunity to mention it.
Sui Xiong was not a stingy person. After listening to her explanation and thinking about it, he felt that her salary was indeed a bit low and not worthy of her contribution to the Northwest Republic. Xuehua was currently one of the consuls of the Northwest Republic. If not Because she is relatively lazy and unwilling to take on more work, she can even be ranked among the great consuls.
The Northwestern Republic initially planned to establish only one grand consul, but later found that this idea was unreliable, and one person was simply not enough—unless he was Mr. Zhuge who planned to devote himself to death. As a last resort, we simply set the "Grand Consul" as the highest-ranking civil servant, which is roughly equivalent to a high-ranking figure in the country where Sui Xiong was born on earth. A certain name would become a blocked word in the novel.
Of course... all the word-blocking tycoons in that country combined would never be enough to beat any of the great consuls of the Northwest Republic, and all the great consuls in the entire Northwestern Republic combined would not be able to manage as much as those big-blocking word tycoons. Even the most idle among the guys.
After all, the entire Northwest Republic has a land area with a population equivalent to that of a prefecture-level city on Earth, and the total population is not even that of a county. Although the territory on the map is comparable to Canada, most of it Every place is filled with ash forests, mountains, and snowfields... This is just like the colonists of the old days drawing territories on a map, which has no practical meaning at all.
Currently, there are three chief consuls in the entire Northwest Republic: Mrs. Teague, who is in charge of the civil affairs of Void City, Leonard, who is in charge of regular military affairs, and Felix, who is in charge of the civil affairs of the four northwest towns. There should be seven consuls at the next level, three in Void City, and one in each of the four towns. However, so far, these seven consuls have not been able to gather together. On the contrary, lower-level officials in various fields and various grassroots civil servants have almost been fully recruited due to the last civil service examination.
Sui Xiong made an estimate and then re-established a salary standard for Xuehua.
"It's still a bit less." After hearing this, Xuehua murmured in a low voice, "This salary is enough to hire a human official, but I am not a human. In an emergency, I can still fight. You should at least use the bodyguard as a Also give me a salary."
Sui Xiong was speechless and raised her salary level again.
Then, he also repaid Snowflake’s salary for a few years—roughly from the time when Mask of the Void Amusement Park began its expansion phase until now.
Snowflake didn't expect that there was such a thing as "repayment of wages". She was stunned for a while, and then sighed: "If you don't become a god and become a king instead, you might have a better future!"
"Maybe." Sui Xiong smiled slightly and did not dwell on this topic.
king? Nothing more.
Are Crick Keane's achievements back then worse than the king of a small country
After arranging the dormancy of Shuang and Xie, Sui Xiong thought for a moment, sent a combat clone, and left Void City.
In the adventure park "Dungeons and Dragons", a giant dragon is needed after all. The dragon does not need to be very powerful, but it must have a good character - at least it must not have bad habits such as cannibalism.
Think about it, if guests found a dragon's nest in an adventure park, tried to explore it, and were eaten by the dragon... this would be a big scandal!
Since bad habits such as cannibalism are not allowed, then of course he cannot choose an evil dragon. Sui Xiong set his target on the kind dragon.
The dragons are also divided into camps. The representatives of the good dragons are metal dragons - this does not mean that their bodies are made of metal, but the scales on their bodies are glowing with metallic luster; the representatives of the evil dragons are the five-color dragons, whose scales Thick and turbid, like colored rocks; the representative of the neutral dragon is the Gem Dragon, with its scales glittering and translucent, like gems.
Oddly enough, many times, a certain subspecies of dragon has a character that is completely different from the original type. For example, the white dragon is an evil dragon that likes to roam and wreak havoc, but doesn't particularly like to settle down. But its subspecies "Ice Dragon" is a famous lord-type dragon. It especially likes to mark a territory as its own territory, and its personality is generally neutral and inclined to be kind. The black dragon is the most insidious and cunning dragon, but its subspecies, the rock dragon, is known for its simple thoughts, loyalty and honesty. Even the relatively cunning ones are almost as strong as frost.
Sui Xiong wandered in the main plane for almost a week. After some selection, he finally came to a mountain col located to the west and south of the Duanyun Mountain Range, close to the Kingdom of Thousand Springs.
There is a large copper mine here, but no one is mining it. One is because the place is a little remote and the transportation is very inconvenient; the other is because there is a cheapskate here, the bronze dragon "Mark Bell".
Mark Bell is a giant dragon that has lived for about five hundred years. For bronze dragons, this age is a bit subtle. It is located on the dividing line between "prime" and "old age" and is also the dividing line between "ordinary dragon" and "old age". An important distinction between "Legendary Dragon".
For ordinary dragons, after living to this age, their bodies will begin to age and their spirits will become increasingly weak. They will slowly lose vitality and sleep for months or even a year or two. When they wake up, they just look for food and move around a little before going back to sleep.
If it cannot exceed a certain limit, the ordinary dragon will gradually grow old in this decadent state and enter the age of old age where it becomes drowsy day after day. The giant dragons of this era are also called "twilight dragons", which means that their lifespan has almost reached its limit.
Generally speaking, a twilight dragon can probably live for another two to three hundred years, and then it will grow old and die.
Of course, twilight dragons are actually rare, because the vast majority of dragons can surpass this limit, which is relatively easy to surpass. Once this limit is exceeded, the dragon's wisdom and magical abilities will be greatly improved, starting from a warrior to a spellcaster.
This transformation process is a bit slow. Generally speaking, it will not be until about seven or eight hundred years old - that is, when an old dragon dies, that the giant dragon will officially complete the transformation and become an "elderly dragon".
The old dragon has the word "老" in its name, but its strength is even worse than in its prime. They are both powerful warriors and excellent spellcasters; they are both legendary creatures and legendary adventurers.
This state can often last for a long time, ranging from one to two thousand years to four to five thousand years. But after the years run out, the dragon will still grow old and die.
To transcend aging and death, an old dragon must go one step further and become an "elder dragon."
"Ancient dragons" are the ones that truly transcend time. They are demigods themselves and often have a group of powerful subordinates.
As for one level higher than the "Ancient Dragon", it is the "Ancient Dragon". Koradema, the god of underground caves and underground ruins who died inexplicably before, was one of the famous ancient dragons.
As for the Mark Bell that Sui Xiong is looking for this time, the specific situation is still unclear. It was last seen in front of a crowd about fifty years ago. At that time, it was a mature dragon, but it did not show much magical ability.
So now some people are speculating whether it is about to enter its twilight years. For this reason, many adventurers are already living in a town less than a hundred miles away from this place called the "Bronze Valley", waiting to confirm Marco Bell's breakthrough. News of failure to become a twilight dragon.
Among them, the one who has been waiting the longest is said to have been waiting for nearly ten years.
Sui Xiong didn't want to deal with these people at all, so he disappeared and flew over the nameless town from the sky to the Bronze Valley.
The valley is quiet and peaceful, and all kinds of animals live peacefully. Although there is hunting and killing, there is a natural charm that makes people not find it offensive.
Sui Xiong flew to the valley, searched with his soul sense, and smiled when he came to a man in green who was lying under a big tree, covering his face with a book, but the sound of snoring could be heard from under the book. before.
"Mark Bell, wake up!" He touched the other person gently with his tentacles, but the dragon that turned into a human did not get up, or even be awakened. It just turned over and continued to sleep.
Sui Xiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that this famous bronze dragon would have similar hobbies to Xie.
He thought for a while, took out a bag of gold coins, and threw it towards Mark Bell's head.
When the gold coin slid past Mark Bell's neck and face, Sui Xiong clearly heard the sound of the dragon sniffing and inhaling.
"The taste of gold!" Mark Bell, who was dressed in green, threw aside the poetry book on his face as fast as lightning, moved his hands quickly, and picked up all the gold coins nearby.
"Don't waste it!" He said seriously to Sui Xiong, "There are seven gods on every gold coin. If you waste money carelessly, you will be punished by God!"
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment. He wanted to ask: "Why didn't I know that there are seven gods living together on gold coins in the world?"
But on second thought, forget it.
I guess Mark Bell is just talking nonsense.
After a while, Mark Bell completely woke up from his sleep. This giant dragon, who seemed not to be in good spirits, sighed melancholy while playing with the gold coins given to him by Sui Xiong.
"Oh! If only that dragon ball was a blue dragon or water dragon ball!" he said.
"You have said this many times." Sui Xiong sighed helplessly, "Money is something external to the body, and so are treasures. As long as you work hard enough, sooner or later you will have a dragon ball that belongs only to you."
"If I can borrow the power of that dragon ball, I can save at least two hundred years of struggle!"
"If you can work well under me, I can help you save a mere two hundred years."
"Huh? How are you going to help me save time?" Mark Bell asked curiously.
Sui Xiong smiled slightly and did not answer.
What else can he do? It's nothing more than special training, strong special training, and devil's special training...
If Mark Bell doesn't participate, then only Hail will be able to receive training, which is really a pity!
