Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Auction Ends, Massive Impact!
The auction officially ended.
The next morning at eight o’clock, dragons everywhere started moving.
All shipping routes were planned by the server "Book," ensuring they flew fixed routes and delivered every package to the maximum degree, avoiding the situation of flying around randomly everywhere.
"My route’s pretty good! I can deliver 16 orders directly!" A green dragon looked somewhat pleasantly surprised at the orders he’d just grabbed on the app. "Though this order seems to require passing through the Fire Elemental Lord’s territory."
"Want to switch with me? I really like Sizzle Crackle. I can have him treat me to tea when I pass by." A fire dragon heard this and quickly moved closer.
"Sizzle Crackle?"
"That’s the name I gave the Fire Elemental Lord. That guy’s name is really too hard to remember, but if you use his sound as his name, isn’t it way easier to remember? Same with the Water Elemental Lord. I call him Gurgle Gurgle Sizzle..."
"Is there a possibility that Gurgle Gurgle is actually his sound, and Sizzle is the sound you bring when you go there?"
"Anyway, that’s the sound I hear when I see him." The fire dragon said righteously. "Your route is really nice though. Want to switch?"
"I’m not switching. Who doesn’t know you’re unlucky? Probably flying across the continent you’d only have a few orders, right?"
The green dragon looked at him somewhat warily, then quickly flew toward the warehouse, leaving the fire dragon standing in place looking for his next target.
The thing was, this guy had bad luck and ran into a mage who liked hiding away in the most remote edge regions of the continent. Flying the longest distance, delivering the hardest package, and there weren’t even any other orders on the route for him to grab!
On Dragon Island, Dragon Delivery’s warehouse was especially busy. Every few dozen seconds, a dragon carrying some treasures would fly out.
Under normal circumstances, these things naturally wouldn’t need to be transported to Dragon Island, and wouldn’t need centralized management. But unfortunately, this auction had way too many heavyweight products, so they could only make this compromise.
Before noon, the Magic Net had already exploded.
Throughout the continent’s south, dragons were everywhere. All kinds of dragons appeared endlessly. They’d swoop down from time to time. Some people even felt like over a dozen dragons had flown over their castle. That psychological pressure was obvious.
"Dragon Delivery really is fast!"
"With so many dragons mobilized, no wonder they dare promise the highest level of express delivery guarantees delivery within one day!"
"Dragons in the past would swoop down, then go home and count their money. Dragons now sit in offices, wait for us to send money over, then go out for a stroll, bring money home. Times really have changed!"
"Just the dragons flying over my house, there were over a dozen. Is my place a major thoroughfare? Tell me, should I try highway robbery... Oh wait, can’t beat them. Probably can’t collect tolls either. You guys know what dragons like? Should I open a... service-oriented shop with better service?"
"Hahaha, the thing I auctioned yesterday already arrived! Magic Net auctions really are awesome!"
"You guys don’t know—last night I specifically invited nearby nobles to my territory for a party. We drank until almost dawn. Everyone was tipsy, just about to rest or head back to their own territories. The moment they walked out the door, they saw a dragon descend and deliver something to me. That feeling was just too amazing!"
"Same here. The only thing I found a bit problematic was my slaves seemed to get scared. But no big deal, they’ll adapt eventually. They’ll accept that their lord is just this powerful."
Some people shared information about passing dragons, others showed off the benefits of dragon delivery. Whether related information appeared in Magic Net videos or Magic Space, every time it appeared, it would attract a huge crowd of spectators and onlookers.
The thing was, dragons and delivering packages just seemed so... out of place! The contrast was way too strong.
Eastern region of the Kingdom of Dawn.
On the border of two small viscounties, tensions were high.
"For generations we’ve used the river bend as the boundary. The river bend changed—that’s nature’s miraculous work. We should follow the gods’ guidance. This extra piece of land should belong to me!"
"How’s that possible?! Our land was passed down from our ancestors. This river changed course, but the land that originally belonged to me should still belong to me. At most, the half of the river that belonged to you now needs me to bear responsibility for!"
Viscount territories really weren’t that big. You could say every bit of land was crucial to them. Some worse-off viscounts would even fall into the embarrassing situation of not having money to hold banquets.
Not long ago, the river changed course, causing these two viscounts who’d always used a river as their border to have serious disagreements.
After long negotiations, they still couldn’t reach consensus. War was about to break out.
Finally, the verbal sparring ended and they each returned to their own camps.
"Father, can we win?"
"Of course! We’re the Baruch family!"
The Baruch family patriarch talked tough, but his strength was somewhat lacking. After just a few rounds of charges, they fell into a disadvantage. Just when he was feeling desperate, a dragon’s roar came from the sky.
A blue-white dragon flew in from the distance. Completely ignoring the war happening on the ground, it flew directly to the Baruch family patriarch.
This sudden change startled quite a few people. The soldiers who’d been fighting on the battlefield couldn’t help but stop at this moment, all shifting their gazes over.
"Bastard! Didn’t expect during our war, he’d still have the mood to browse the auction! Everyone don’t panic. This is a Dragon Delivery dragon, just here to deliver something to him. It’ll leave soon! Everyone get ready, in a moment..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the Baruch patriarch in the distance quickly open a package and directly swallow a vial of some unknown liquid.
The next moment, his body started rapidly expanding, becoming incredibly muscular. Just looking at him made people feel fear. The frost dragon who’d come to deliver looked at this guy, and even his eyes showed a hint of interest.
Didn’t expect this human to actually contain a trace of dragon bloodline. No wonder this guy auctioned for their dragon race’s dragon blood grass used to purify bloodlines... So for a human knight, the awakening of even a trace of dragon bloodline would probably be a huge change.
Thinking of this, the frost dragon’s expression toward the noble on the opposite side changed somewhat.
Poor guy. He probably never imagined the other side would actually use the auction to turn things around against the wind, right?
Almost at the same time.
Krig City, in what was once the Temple of War, the head of the War Technology Forces, Tech General Lava General Geyera sat in the main seat. The remnant royal families of the eighteen nations he’d recently saved, along with some important noble lords and other powerful figures, were all gathered together, each face full of worry.
