Chapter 393: The biggest beneficiary

Due to the ruins, Ethan stayed for half a day longer. In the end, he couldn't restore the lost murals, so he had to give up and go home.

When Ethan returned to Maro City and saw the dragon head hanging on the city gate, he was stunned.

Because it was obviously a blue dragon head, but now it has become a black dragon head.

This is strange. You know, dragons are the condensation of magic essence. Even if they die, their skin and flesh will only slowly dissipate over time, unlike other animals that rot.

In other words, it is impossible for it to turn black.

But why is it like this now?

Ethan was confused, but he didn't have time to think about the reasons. As long as he was sure that the dragon head was the original one, it could be hung on the city wall as a demonstration.

When he returned home, he found a bunch of visitors.

Most of them were "allies" who had taken the initiative to decouple from the Lawson family's economy before. Now that the dragon head was hung, they took the initiative to stick to it again.

I heard that some of them have been waiting for ten days and half a month.

Ethan didn't have time to care about them, and handed them all to Papalia.

There is only one guiding ideology for handling: if there is no price to pay for wavering, then anyone can waver, and there will be no rules in the future.

Papalia received Ethan's instructions and immediately followed them.

And he is also a ruthless person. He directly copied Ethan's words in his own name and said them again to everyone.

As for what the price is, let everyone think about it for themselves.

Anyway, the Lawson family is satisfied, and the rules are still the previous rules.

If you are not satisfied, then the rules will be changed until you are satisfied.

After hearing this, everyone looked ugly and left in disgrace.

Ethan was very satisfied with Papalia's performance, especially when he made ruthless remarks in his own name.

In this way, he offended people, and he was the one who benefited.

Even if something went wrong, for example, this group of "allies" did not want to pay the price and united to strongly oppose him.

At that time, he could make himself lose face and use him as a scapegoat.

Although the probability of this is very small, we must be prepared.

And Papalia said this in his own name, which is the best defense.

In short, no matter what, as the leader of Maro City, I, Ethan, must be upright and righteous.

I will never do such a thing of bullying the weak.

What if someone finds out that I did it?

OK, then there is no need to look, it must be my men who acted on their own initiative.

And the reason why Ethan must punish this group of "allies" in a bullying way is that he was forced by this group of people.

Although it stands to reason that they just stepped on the Lawson family when they were in trouble, and the purpose was only for their own safety needs, which is understandable.

But Ethan can't stand the indecision of this group of people.

It's not possible that when there are benefits, everyone will take it together, and when there are difficulties, let me, Ethan, take it alone!

Since they are unkind first, you can't blame me, Ethan, for being unjust.

If I don't punish them this time, they will dare to do it in the future.

The most important thing is that their indecision is likely to lead to inconsistency in the Maro City Council, and even possible things of singing the opposite tune.

This is obviously intolerable.

After all, although Maro City has the name of a parliament for consultation, it must be ruled by me, Ethan, for it to have a meaning of existence.

If anyone dares to sing a different tune, he is challenging my authority.

I couldn't deal with you before, but now is not the same as before.

With the title of Dragon Slayer, his prestige is at its peak. If he doesn't take all the power at this time, it would be a waste of opportunity!

Thinking of this, Ethan, who was bathing in the bathtub, smiled knowingly.

Sophia, who was serving him bathing, saw this scene and couldn't help but smile: "What did you think of? You are so happy."

"Nothing!" Ethan put away his smile and asked, "By the way, what's the matter with the dragon head?"

"His Majesty the Emperor sent an envoy to comfort the people attacked by the blue dragon!" Sophia replied.

"Your Majesty!" Ethan frowned when he heard this: "You sent an envoy? Why didn't they come before? Now that the dragon is dead, they are here.

And what does it have to do with you making the dragon's head black?"

Sophia wiped Ethan's body and said slowly: "You also know that the blue dragon has always been a symbol of the royal family of the Aslan Empire.

If a blue dragon attacks the people of the empire, even if this blue dragon is not registered with the royal family, it will have a bad impact on the royal family.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I painted the blue dragon black."

Ethan nodded: "You are still thoughtful. The envoy should not say anything when he sees the black dragon!"

"No!" Sophia He pursed his lips: "But, he stayed!"

"What does that mean?"

"Not sure! But I think it's probably to prevent blue dragon materials from entering the market, especially dragon blood.

You know, dragon blood has always been the royal family's biggest trump card and the most important means of rewarding.

With dragon blood, they can control the Magic Association.

But this time we got a lot of dragon blood. If it flows into the market, their advantage will be gone."

Hearing this, Ethan frowned: "Will the emperor only send people to us?

Or will he send everyone who gets dragon blood?"

"Only to us, because almost all the dragon blood is in our hands, and all of it is stored in the underground corridor of the Duke's Mansion."

When Ethan heard that all of it was stored in the underground corridor of the Duke's Mansion, he was shocked: "How can you agree to Leon doing this?"

"What else can we do?" Sophia asked back: "You know, dragon blood is like flesh and blood. If it is not properly preserved, it will disappear completely in one to two years at most.

We don't have the foundation of the Duke's Mansion, so we can only let them keep it."

Ethan smiled bitterly: "If they keep it, how can they get it out again?

And they want to do some secret operations in private, and we don't know.

I have been busy for nearly a month, working for the Duke's Mansion."

Sophia spread her hands: "I have explained the reason to you. If we don't let them keep it, the result is that no one will benefit.

Let him keep it, at least the things will not be in trouble.

The rest depends on whether you, the [Dragon Slayer], have enough deterrence on Leon."

"Then the share of the Casillas family will also be kept by Leon?" Ethan asked.

"As far as I know, it is like this! Only a small part was transported back to the family!" Sophia laughed: "

As for why Duke Casillas, who is also a duke, also chose to hand over the things to Leon for safekeeping, it can only be said that there are differences between dukes.

Don't think that the Stein family is now in decline, but the underground corridor of his family is definitely the world's top space storage place, no one else!"
