Chapter 1071： Getting better (1/2)

In terms of personal feelings, Gawain regarded Merita as a friend, and he also had a natural goodwill and admiration for the glorious dragon civilization, but he should not only make decisions from a personal perspective as the ruler of an empire. He wants to ensure that every wealth created by citizens is used in the right place.

Now that Tarrond is in trouble, Melita and other envoys have not formally asked for help, but it will be sooner or later. Of course, Gawain can provide assistance, but there must be equal political benefits behind the assistance. Technological gains, economic or resource gains, and even pure humanitarian gains, these must be taken into consideration.

It is also after comprehensive consideration of these aspects that Gawain finally believes that assisting Talrond at this time will be an investment with amazing potential returns.

Hundred-legged insects die but are not stiff. The once glorious Tarrond civilization on this planet is still a treasure house even if it falls, even if you don’t consider the ancient technology buried in the wasteland and the dragon’s accumulation so far. The wealth destroyed in the flames of war, only the dragons themselves, is a force that cannot be ignored for the mortal nations on this planet, and the opportunity to help these powerful creatures... is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Gawain sat on the sofa, thinking carefully about the meaning behind this incident and the necessary measures for taking various actions. Rebecca looked at the expressions of the ancestor curiously beside him, and after a long time she couldn't help asking: "My ancestor, what are you thinking?"

Gawain glanced at the girl with a smile on his face: "I just thought of providing assistance to Tarrond... It is a rare thing in a lifetime to let the dragon bear love."

Heidi blinked, and his thoughts became active: "Do you need to let businessmen'activities'? We can purchase a large amount of surplus or even old grain from the northern countries in advance, so that countries can no longer get them before the first harvest season this year. By providing more food to aid Talrond, we can become the biggest pillar of the dragon kingdom, and even provide the only food aid. This will be a monopoly aid. With the dragon clan’s tradition of abiding by the contract and morality, we will get Tal. Lund’s greatest and longest support. This will probably cost a lot of money, but it’s always worth it. Compared with the support of the Dragons, the food is only a small cost."

Heidi's subtle idea made Amber and Rebecca bother to look at her more. Even Gao Wen showed some unexpected eyes, but after a short period of thought, the latter shook his head: "Say To be honest, this idea of ​​yours is indeed quite...to my liking. If we had put it in the past, we could have done this, but now we can’t."

Heidi froze for a moment, and did not react for a while: "Ah? Why?"

Before Gawain spoke this time, Amber next to him said: "It's not easy? Times have changed. Before Cecil was alone, but now we are going to build an alliance and we need to develop a set The rules let everyone observe that we eat meat. We can’t even leave the soup for others. Even further, we want to leave a portion of meat for others. Otherwise, if things are done too absolutely, who else in the world wants Believe in Cecil's'common destiny'?"

The half-elf said such a long paragraph casually, which surprised both Gawain and Heidi, and the latter's eyes widened: "This is really not like you can say!"

Amber akimbo his hips: "What's the difference? Isn't it just a matter of organizing gangs? I have seen a lot in the slums back then..."

There is some truth to this half-elf's words, but the self-satisfied appearance is still very awkward. Heidi held back for a long time before resisting not rubbing a Frost Arrow to explode her head. Of course, the main reason was that she could not hit her head. After slanting Amber with an unmoving look, Heidi turned his gaze back to Gawain's face: "Then ancestors, how do we ensure Cecil's initiative in this matter?"

"It's very simple. Although we can't buy food on a large scale for monopoly aid, we can be the first to stand and call and organize," Gao Wen laughed, taking this opportunity to teach Herty what to do in the future international order. Do, "The biggest difference between playing a role in an alliance and being a'lone hero' is that your'right to speak' can be equated with real strength and even resources, as long as you use your prestige and checks and balances to take the lead in making a piece. Things, even if you actually didn't pay anything at all, everyone can think that you are the one who paid the most.

"Of course, others are not fools. If we really don’t give anything, then no matter how great the prestige and the right to speak will gradually fall away. Moreover, the embryonic form of the alliance has not yet been established, and we can’t say much about prestige and checks and balances, so Real money still needs to be smashed in. The cost of taking the lead will certainly be higher than that of people who "make one point, shout two points, and do three points", but it will definitely last longer. ."

Gawain spoke patiently, Heidi listened carefully, and the short words of teaching made the latter feel very beneficial. These are perspectives that she has never considered, but after understanding them It immediately realized.

"Well, I can't finish talking about these things for days and nights." Finally, Gawain realized that it was too late, so he stopped talking, with a complex and self-deprecating smile on his face, "It's really The elderly became preaching without knowing it."

"Please don't say that, these'teachings' have benefited me a lot," Heidi said hastily, "Your experience and wisdom are a valuable asset."

"Okay, it's no good to flatter me," Gawain smiled and waved his hand, then turned his head and looked at the dragon egg that was placed not far from the sofa, still standing quietly. On the base of the groove, there was a light golden glow under the light, the surface of the runes flickered, and the mysterious lines were looming in the eggshell. Gawain's face slowly became weird, "I still wonder what to do with this thing. Son..."

Gao Wen's words immediately drew everyone's attention back to the dragon egg. Amber couldn't help turning around the dragon egg, but still didn't hold his mouth: "Speaking of this dragon egg, this thing It really has nothing to do with you? You were called by the dragon goddess in the middle of the night, and I didn't know what to talk about all night. Not long after he came back, Tarrond sent the dragon egg over and named him. Let you take care of... how does this sound like... Mom!"

The second half of Amber's sentence ended in an exclamation. An ice magic ball almost the size of her head rubbed the tip of her ears and flew to the distance. Heidi didn't know when he had already grabbed the staff and stared. Looking at the shame of all things, Gawain still whispered to the side: "Next time you try to lower the focus of the cast a little bit..."

Amber’s cold sweat flowed down her forehead. Rebecca on the side was shivering and she did not dare to say anything. At this time, the latter finally remembered that she had said similar things not long ago, and at the same time, she vaguely felt that she owed a beating... …

After a while, Heidi finally put away the staff. The butler stared at Rebecca and Amber, then looked at the dragon egg, and then at his ancestor: "Did you really decide to hatch it? We are still not sure about the true intention of that'god' entrusting this dragon egg to you... Even if he is not malicious, the consequences of this thing after hatching are too unpredictable."

"I understand your concerns, but we have to try before we know how this thing changes in the face of external stimuli," Gao Wen said, "and to be honest...are you not curious about it?"

Heidi stared at the dragon egg, and after hesitating for a long time, he nodded in embarrassment: "...Indeed, I am also curious about what this thing will hatch."

"Arrange a special room for it, maintain a suitable temperature according to the parameters suggested by Merita, and then let the technicians set up the magic net and transformation device in the room," Gawain said as he thought, "arrange later. People are guarded in shifts and always pay attention to any abnormal changes in this dragon egg."
