Chapter 832: Inhuman Intellect
?
As the knights finished gathering the mountain of gold in a single safe house and locked it, they set camp and waited for Jeffry''s order to bring it out. They knew this would be the payment of a gold drakaina, no one wanted to debate such a being on the pay beingte.
"I hope nothing bad happens." One of the knights sighed as they sat around the fire. "I want to be at home."
"Don''t worry; it''ll end before we know it. Just be happy that we aren''t drafted into the desert. The heat alone is hellish, and everyone thinks that''s a suicide mission." Another growled, munching on the freshly grilled fish.
"Don''t say that... what if someone reported you..." Suddenly, they started hearing a loud drumminge from the forest. BAM! BAM! BAM! Loud thuds resonated in their chests as the campfire flickered, its mes rising into the sky.
The drumming elerated and arge shadow appeared from the forest. Half of the soldiers shat themselves as the massive red dragon red at them, that was no drumming, but its heartbeats.
"I...smell...gold..." The red dragon growled as he approached them, it was the disguised ug. The knights stood in terror and pulled their swords, "A red dragon! It''s massive!" A woman cried.
ug took a single step toward them like a prowling cat, her heartbeat growing louder and faster as the me of their camp shed bright red. "I''ll take the goldter..." She stared at the woman who just spoke with a grin.
The woman started shaking and fell to her knees. "You''ve been courageous enough to call me out. Tickling my sweet spot..." She sniffed her with a growl. "I''ll take you with me as well..."
"The gold..." A knight in the back growled, "Can you take it? Please leave her," He said.
ug extended her tongue out and licked the woman from head to toe, lifting her up like a fly in a toad''s long tongue.
"Save me..." the woman cried, her army cracked under the pressure of ug''s tongue. ug then closed her mouth on the woman, entrapping her and muffling her screams and pleas. "I''ll take her and the gold. Unless you can pay me for her a hundred gold coins so I can buy a more beautiful ve."
ug approached the door and lifted her ws, about to smash the whole ce.
"Please wait!" one of the knights cried, "We''ll bring you the gold, please let us do that." ug sat in ce. "Server me, bugs."
The knights rushed inside to carry the gold out to her. They can either peacefullyply, or get all burned to death. This red dragon is taking the gold anyway, the best they can do is try to keep the safe house from being destroyed and save their own lives. Death here would be meaningless.
As the knights moved the gold out, they all agreed to gather their money together to pay for the woman''s price, the knight who spoke for her was her fiancé. They were to be married the next month, they couldn''t leave their college and get separated like this.
"This is all the gold in the house. The total worth is five hundred tinum coins." One of the knights showed the crates to ug.
"Indeed, I don''t smell any more gold inside. But, you''re carrying something else." She sniffed him.
"We''ve gathered a hundred gold coins for you. Please release her." He put the bag of gold above the crates.
"A deal is a deal," she giggled and opened her mouth, spitting the unconscious woman on the ground. "I can just take your money and leave, but I''ll tell you why I''ll honor the deal with you bugs." She giggled and red at the woman''s fiancé.
"She smells of two more men other than you..." ug giggled, "Unlike you, I don''t like used goods." She grabbed the gold and flew away, leaving that bombshell as a parting gift.
When ug returned to herir, the girls and Tempo who were watching stared at her as she poured the five hundred tinum coins and hundred gold into a separate room. "Second part done, now for the third." She approached them with a smile.
"Are the kobolds taking good care of you?" ug asked with a smile.
"They are..." Ae looked at her, "But what are you going to do next?"
"Just keep watching. I need to act quickly, so I''m leaving now." She opened her wings and flew out immediately.
ugnded in the forest beside Jeffry''s mansion and looked around with a grin, "Good, the trees are tall here." She shifted into a gold drakaina again and stood on her hind legs, using illusion magic to create an image of herself{True form}
"I''m indeed beautiful; you won''t find such sparkling green scales anywhere else." She looked back, "Time to work." She started casting spells and flying everywhere, brawling with her illusion in what looked like a deadly battle.
The forest quaked and monsters started running away. Jeffry''s mansion cracked from the quakes as fire rose from the ground and lightning fell from the sky. Everyone could see ug shing with the gold drakaina among the clouds; their roars sent terror into the people of the nearby cities and viges.
After a long battle thatsted almost an hour, the gold drakaina managed to get a clean sh on ug''s neck, severing her head and dropping her corpse behind the mountains, but not before losing an arm.
Jeffry cheered, "Yes! She got her!" He looked at the knights, "Is it ready?" He already knew that some random red dragon stole his money, that was painful, but it was not a problem, he could still gather another five hundred tinum coins if he sold his treasures and fired some knights. He can still make that money back and profit from ug''s hoard and body.
The gold drakainanded in his courtyard, careful not to damage anything or drip her blood into the wells. "Don''t worry; I won''t even soil your ground. I''m only here for my pay."N?v(el)B\\jnn
"Of course! We have it right here, I''ve brought it the moment I saw your magnificent battle starts." Jeffry waved his hand as the knights dragged a cart full of gold. "I hope your injuries heal soon."
"Don''t worry, I''ll get better." The gold drakaina grabbed the carriage and left without damaging a single flow in his garden or leaving a droplet of blood.
"That was a hefty sum of money, I''m basically broke now...but let''s hurry. We must get ug''s body fresh to sell it. The sooner the better."
He rushed on horseback to get ug''s corpse.
ugnded back in herir and dropped the second five hundred tinum coins, "Let''s keep
going." She flew out immediately, leaving the girls baffled.
The moment Jeffry and his knights reached the ce where ug''s corpse dropped they found nothing but arge crater and some blood. "Did someone take the corpse before us? Her head was severed, she can''t be alive." He growled.
"It''s almost nightfall and this ce in the forest is extremely dangerous. We need to get back to the mansion and head to herir tomorrow. We''ll also send a search group to find the thieves." His knightmander said with a confident face. "Don''t worry, we''ll get her back." "You better do. We''ll need that money." Jeffry growled as he returned to the mansion with his
men.
ug who was watching them from afar giggled, flying to greet them.
Just half an hour after Jeffry got back to his house, ugnded in his courtyard in her true form with arge thud. "Jeffry! You''ve sent a gold drakaina to kill me! What the fuck were you thinking, bug." Her roar shook the whole estate and shattered their windows.
The knights came out panicking as did Jeffry, half naked as he was just taking a bath with his
wife.
"ug?! You''re alive?" He cried.
"You really thought a gold drakaina could kill me you fool? To let you know, I''ve already
killed her." She reached with her w in his house and pulled his naked wife out of the bath, dangling her in front of everyone by the legs.
"Fucking pay me twice what you paid her, or you''re the whole family will witness something ugly as theirst thing in life." ug growled, violently shaking his wife. "Please put her down! I''ll get you the money, five hundred tinum coins." He cried.
"Huh?" ug growled and bit his wife''s arm off, "I''ve said double. You''ve paid the gold drakaina five hundred."
The wife screamed her lungs off, but ug couldn''t care less. She''s been spying on them for the past years and knew well that all of her problems with this stupid noble house came from Jeffry and his wife''s schemes, so she''s now showing them what a dragon can do. "I''ll get you the money! Anything you ask for, just put her down, she''ll die of blood loss." Jeffry was about to lose his mind, everything had escted far beyond what he could handle. "Get the money now. I''m sitting here with her until you do, you better hurry up." As ug growled Jeffry rushed out with his knights to take loans from other nobles, it was an emergency so he just gave them signed letters to ask for money in his ce. After two hours, Jeffry managed to gather a thousand tinum coins from debts and presented them to ug,
two full carts of gold.
"This is it, please let my wife go." He cried.
ug nodded, "This gold solves you hiring a gold drakaina to kill me." She smiled, "Now..."
She red at the wife, "You''re the bitch who sold myir''s location in an auction aftering by it by pure lucks, I''ve even asked you not to, and paid you for it." She growled, biting her second arm off.
As his wife screamed her lungs off in agony, Jeffry''s face twisted like it was drying out. "Wait!
I didn''t hear anything about that?!" He was losing his hair.
"Your wife found myir''s location a decade ago. I''ve asked her not to disclose that information and paid her a hundred tinum coins, tried to be civilized." ug lifted her tail up. "She sold that information and you know that. She''ll now pay for it." She swung her massive tail and crushed Jeffry''s barns and farnd, killing half of his guards and toppling several sections of his mansion.
In the wake of all the destruction, ug wasn''t stopping and she crushed his legs with a second hit before breathing on him with her draconic poison, crippling him for life.
As the surviving knight stared in terror, ug flew with the money and wife away. Less than an hourter, she sold the wife for four hundred tinum coins to another noble family that wanted to use her as a political tool.
At this moment, ug had made two thousand and four hundred tinum coins and a hundred gold coins, but she wasn''t done yet. Her n had only reached the halfway point.
