NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 543: 324
When the young dragon shrank, its height was about one meter fifty-five or fifty-six, and it likely weighed a bit more than a human girl. The material for making a bicycle had to be carefully selected.
It couldn't happen that while riding, the tire's hub would suddenly bend or the bike frame would snap.
"You're drawing something?"
"A bicycle design."
???
So quick?
Thought and done?
She'd just finished speaking, and now he was already starting to prepare. If it were her, even with the idea in mind, for ten or fifteen days, she definitely wouldn't take action.
Given time, she might even forget about it.
Lance started to work.
The young dragon pulled up a stool and sat not far from Lance, silently watching him draw.
Ingrid arrived.
The study door was open. Upon reaching the doorway, Ingrid, who had intended to knock, saw her Lord Viscount busy and the little dragon highness sitting quietly to the side.
She withdrew her hand, ready to knock, and stood at the study entrance, quietly waiting.
About an hour later, Ingrid, who had been standing at the door, saw her Lord Viscount put down his pen and get up to stretch. She then gently knocked a few times on the door and entered the study.
"Lord Viscount, Lady Tixia said you were looking for me."
"Mm, Ingrid, come here for a moment."
Ingrid approached the desk, her gaze resting on the blueprint there. Is this… a vehicle?
It had wheels, a seat, and pedals.
It must be a vehicle then.
The vehicle... looked quite nice.
Lord Viscount had painted the vehicle body in blue and pink, looking somewhat cute.
"Can the craftsmen of Saint Blue make this?"
Lance handed the blueprint to Ingrid, who took it and looked at it closely for a while, then said, "I'm not sure, but you, Lord Viscount, have drawn the blueprint so clearly, and you've even drawn some of the parts separately on the side.
I believe our craftsmen of Saint Blue should be able to make it, but it might take some time. As for the specifics, I can ask the craftsmen tonight and then tell you, Lord Viscount."
"Mm, alright. Let's go downstairs."
"Yes."
Upon reaching the ground floor hall, Tixia was still there, and the Bronze Giant Dragon Melbourne had not yet returned.
Lance wasn't worried about Melbourne running off.
If he dared to run away, in a while, he'd dare to go to Dragon Island as the Black Dragon and extract some Dragon Blood from Melbourne.
"Lord Viscount."
Tixia, sitting on the sofa, respectfully rose and greeted Lance as soon as she saw him.
"Sit down, no need to be so formal," Lance walked over and sat opposite Tixia. "Ingrid, show Tixia the blueprint you have in your hands."
Ingrid handed the blueprint to Tixia.
Tixia opened the blueprint and after looking at it for a while, found the item on it quite novel. Beyond that, she didn't quite understand the other intentions of her Lord Viscount.
"If the craftsmen of Saint Blue can make this 'bicycle' from the blueprint, Saint Blue can build a factory dedicated to producing these 'bicycles.'
The finished 'bicycles' can be sold in Saint Blue, and also exported to the Red Maple Kingdom. Of course, regarding specifics, after you return, you can evaluate with others to see if the profit from the bicycles is worth building a factory for.
If it's not worthwhile, you can find a merchant to sell the blueprint to, or cooperate with them."
Understood.
The Lord Viscount wanted to use this novel 'bicycle' to increase the finances of Saint Blue.
Building a factory for vehicles wasn't cost-effective, and Saint Blue didn't have the time either, as it was in a stage of rapid development.
Collaborating with a merchant was a good option, though.
"I understand, I'll discuss with other members tonight, and once we have a plan, I'll report back to you, Lord Viscount."
"No need to report to me. I just thought of this suddenly. Whether it works or not, you can decide on your own."
"..."
Ah...
Lord Viscount has delegated his authority too thoroughly...
"With the Bronze Giant Dragon, sign the contract at the Dragon God Temple, in the presence of the Dragon God Statue, even the Bronze Giant Dragon will have to consider the Dragon God's feelings when signing the contract,"
"Understood."
"Alright, you all stay busy, I have some things to take care of and will be leaving now, I might not be in Saint Blue for the next few days, if you encounter anything you can't handle, just send me a message."
"Yes..."
Tixia rose to respectfully see Lance off.
The Lord Viscount's frequent departures from Saint Blue were no longer anything new, as long as he didn't disappear for several years at a time, or never return, they wouldn't inquire about his whereabouts.
Lord Viscount was like the wind, coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace.
Lance returned to Black Dragon Island with the Dragon Cub.
He had three jars of fresh Dragon Blood on him, and for the next few days, he planned to stay on Black Dragon Island to refine alchemy with the Dragon Blood.
In his spare time, he intended to create basketball and badminton sets.
As for the Dragon Cub...
During his time refining the alchemy, he would let the Dragon Cub stay within his Domain to cultivate.
After resting for a day on Black Dragon Island.
The next day, after bringing the Dragon Cub into his Domain, Lance gathered some of his own herbs from the island and went to the alchemy room to refine...
He wanted to see if he could refine a potion that could allow human Transcendents to undergo [Dragonification].
If he could refine such a potion, he could sell a little of it.
[Dragonification] potions only needed a little bit of Dragon Blood.
A Formation appeared in the alchemy area, created to prevent disturbances during the alchemy process.
Taking out half a jar of Dragon Blood from the Diamond Talisman, Lance began the alchemy process.
...
Farolan Empire Capital, Blue Moon Palace.
Dressed in a wizard's robe, Eva stood in the center of the great hall, looking at Princess Asina sitting before her. It had been over a year, and she still hadn't found any substantial information regarding Princess Lucia's whereabouts.
Princess Lucia had turned into a Dragon Cub and had been abducted by the Evil Dragon.
Princess Asina, the second princess, was about to become the Empress of the Farolan Empire...
By the end of the year, Asina would officially become the Empress of the Farolan Empire and begin to rule this vast empire.
In recent months, Princess Asina had significantly intensified the search for Princess Lucia, but there was still barely any useful information.
Until recently, Evil Dragons began to appear around the world. Princess Asina thought that the Evil Dragon that had abducted Lucia would show up during this time...
However... to this day, information about that Evil Dragon... was still woefully scant.
"How is it going? Have there been any sightings of Evil Dragons within our Farolan Empire?"
"None. There are occasional sightings of Evil Dragons near the Dragon Domain, though. Princess Asina, shall we send someone to investigate the Dragon Domain?
Perhaps we could discover some clues related to Princess Lucia there."
"Dragon Domain, huh..." Asina, sitting in the main seat, put down her book and supporting her cheek with her hand, said, "The Dragon Domain is too far from us. To go there requires cross-domain travel, and message exchange is extremely inconvenient. Moreover... we don't understand much about that place.
If we send a team, it might even be misunderstood by kingdoms or empires of humans in the Dragon Domain.
For an individual... we cannot find a suitable candidate. It's best not to let the empire's nobles and ministers know about my little sister being abducted by the Evil Dragon.
Otherwise, when that failed princess returns one day, those nobles and ministers might discriminate against her, and it could even affect her marriage prospects.
After all, no noble family would permit their heir to marry a princess who is suspected of having been defiled by an Evil Dragon."
"I will go! I can go alone to the Dragon Domain! If by some stroke of luck I can find Princess Lucia in the Dragon Domain, I will surely bring her back," Eva said.
"You?" Asina shook her head. "You are a wizard, and we have no idea about the attitude towards wizards in the Dragon Domain. What if you go... and can't return?
Even though you remain loyal to my foolish little sister, I don't want to see you die in such an unfamiliar place as the Dragon Domain.
Moreover... even if you find my foolish little sister, what can you do? Can you lift her curse? Can you turn her back from a Dragon Cub into a human?
Can you?"
Eva's lips quivered slightly; she could not lift the curse that turned Princess Lucia into a Dragon Cub, which she had entirely forgotten.
If she didn't remember Princess Lucia's royal status, she would be afraid of not knowing that she had turned Princess Lucia into a Dragon Cub with a Curse.
