A dragon raised at birth

"What are your plans?"

Diablo's eyes were piercing, and he didn't answer the question.Although his strength is weaker than these two queens, it is only temporary.

"Diablo, it seems that you are willing, since that's the case..."

Under Diablo's slightly puzzled eyes, the person whose real body was thousands of miles away from him stretched out his palm towards him in the communication light curtain, and then Diablo felt the changes in the surrounding space.

Subconsciously, Diablo was ready to fight against this force and suppress the surrounding space, but the next moment, he stopped moving again.

"Diablo, don't confront, we need concealment for the rest of our conversation."

Glancing at the eldest wife next to Queen Crystal Frost who hadn't made a move, Diablo chose to trust her.Then time and space changed, and the gray sky and lifeless land came into view.

Subspace field!

Gazing at the not-so-vast barren land under his feet, Diablo recognized what it was, because he also possessed a similar ability.

But he has no way to drag the target into the subspace field when they are thousands of miles away.From this point, he can realize the gap between himself and this king dragon.

Of course, now is not the time to care about this. In this subspace domain, the eldest wife and Queen Jingshuang, who were separated by a vast distance just now, are standing opposite him.

Normally speaking, the three of them should form a tripartite confrontation, but two of them have an unusual relationship, so there are some changes in their positions.

"Tsk, I really envy you, you were able to find such an excellent partner."

Looking at Diablo standing next to Ophelia, Queen Aristan sighed sincerely.

"Is this the time to say this?"

Hearing this exclamation, Diablo couldn't help being a little speechless. He looked up at this subspace that was more stable than the field he opened up at the beginning,

"Your Majesty, you can't just say this with such a big fanfare?"

"Since you are in such a hurry, Mr. Diablo, then I'll get straight to the point."

Allison sighed.

"What do you think of the Three Great Empires?"

"How else can I look at it, of course I look up."

When it comes to those behemoths that dominate the material world and even span many planes, Diablo's tone can't help but feel a little helpless.

Facing this kind of power at the level of a giant, even Diablo couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and this was the reason why he created the power.

"Indeed, the empire is too strong, so strong that all our races can only look up to it, but when the empire plots something against you, are you willing to bow your head and submit?"

"Do you see me giving in?" Diablo smiled.

But at this time Ophelia spoke up, exposing Diablo mercilessly,

"You haven't surrendered now, but according to the current progress, it won't be long before you will fall under the sugar-coated shells of those forces."

"how is this possible?"

Diablo had an unnatural look on his face.

"Hey, Sir Diablo, I only temporarily chose to endure it under my lobbying."

Noticing Diablo's predicament, the Queen of Crystal Frost opened her mouth to help Diablo out of trouble, which made Diablo express her implicit gratitude to the queen.

"His heart is still the same as before, and he is unwilling to succumb to the oppression of the imperial forces."

"You want to fight against the empire?" Ophelia squinted her eyes. She established a country in the southern border of the mainland. She couldn't understand how huge the empire was.

"Confrontation is out of the question, and it's not realistic. My current pursuit is to prevent my country from being oppressed and humiliated by the imperial forces.

I just hope that the dragons living in my country can reproduce freely. "

Crystal Frost Queen Alison shook her head, her words were full of helplessness.If it was possible, who wouldn't want to wipe out all enemies from all directions and relax their spirits?

"I don't have much to pursue. It's enough to make those imperial forces not dare to make up my mind."

Diablo also spoke after him, and what he expressed sounded like a salty fish, but combined with his identity, it was a big ambition.

Chapter 403 Economic Plundering

"Both of you said that you have no big ambitions, but you still have higher hearts than the sky."

Hearing the pursuit of the two dragons in front of her, Ophelia smiled.

A king, Longju, who established the kingdom of dragons, wants the people to be free and reproduce without being threatened.How far does it have to go to make this happen?

Only when they reach the same level as those empires, those behemoths that can traverse the void and conquer endless planes will be taken seriously, and they will not wantonly use force to trample on the dignity of a country.

And Diablo's seemingly salty pursuit is also quite interesting. Although it is not as ambitious as this Monarch Dragon, it is also not low in difficulty.

No one dared to call his attention, it must have absolute power to be able to do this.But even if it grows up and becomes a complete Shengyao Dragon, there is still an immortal existence that dares to make a move.

"Don't just talk about us, then you are not bad, right? What is your goal and your pursuit?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, so let's tentatively decide to be able to gain a foothold in the material world." Ophelia showed a faint smile, which made Diablo lose his mind for a moment.

"You came out of the Dragon Realm. If you want to gain a foothold in the main material world, you must also have the strength and confidence to fight against the empire. From the current point of view, we have a common goal."

Queen Crystal Frost spoke, but the content of his words forced Diablo to interrupt.

"Wait a minute, if I heard correctly just now, you said Longyu?"

"Well, what's the problem?" Queen Crystal Frost blinked her snow-white eyelashes, as if she didn't understand why Diablo interrupted him here.

"How do you know Longyu?"

Diablo's expression is so dignified and rich. For him, it is not only the origin, but also his biggest hole card and the confidence to build against the imperial forces.

"I told her." Ophelia said.

"No, why did you tell her all this, even if you are looking for cooperation!"

Diablo was dumbfounded. He never thought that it would be his wife who leaked such important information to a king dragon. Isn't this asking for trouble?

"Don't be nervous, I have the same origin as you, and I will not leak these important news."

Aristan, Queen of Crystal Frost, said something that shocked Diablo.

"You also came from the Dragon Realm? No, no, without permission, it is impossible for a dragon born in the Dragon Realm to leave."

Diablo asked, but quickly dismissed the possibility himself.No matter how talented you are without authority, it is impossible to break the boundary between soul and legend and leave Longyu.

"I didn't come from the Dragon Realm. The Monsrock Empire set up a laboratory specializing in the study of frost dragons in the base glacier of the Northland. My ancestors were born there."

"Your ancestors?" The low-voltage pineapple captured the key words.

"Well, that's right, my ancestors, after the collapse of the empire, the laboratory set up in the polar glacier had a serious malfunction. My ancestors found an opportunity at that time, escaped from it, and united together to survive in the glacier land reproduce, and I am their offspring."

What Queen Crystal Frost said deeply shocked Diablo. He didn't expect that the king dragon who shocked the world would have such a background.

"So in a way, we are the same kind, we have the same origin."

"..."

Diablo was silent for a moment, still unable to believe it. Dragons don't like to lie, but it's not that they don't know how to lie.

"I want to see the laboratory that your ancestors escaped from. It should still be there, right?"

"It's still there, but the damage has been very serious with the passage of time, and the tower spirit inside has been wiped out. After our discussion is over, I will take you there to have a look."

"it is good."

For this kind of identity verification, Diablo felt that it was better for him to do it himself.

"Now tell me about the situation we are facing!"

The Queen of Crystal Frost looked at Ophelia, who had few words. Through the fight not long ago, she had confirmed the power held by the partner of the Dragon of Holy Glory. This was an existence worthy of her careful treatment.

"Ophelia, your existence has not been exposed for the time being, and you have not been oppressed by the imperial forces, so let's skip it for now. As for Diablo, although he is not very free, he is under the supervision of all parties, so there is no major problem for the time being, and you life is enough to make ninety-nine out of ten male creatures jealous."

"..."

Seeing that the queen was talking about himself, Diablo grinned,

"The kingdom is not a big problem now, is it? As far as I know, the Parkinson Empire has now lifted the trade blockade of the Crystal Frost Kingdom, and can already conduct business with neighboring countries."

"That's the problem!"

As he said that, the queen, who never showed her inner emotions in front of Gu Long, showed a melancholy look on her face.

"The empire lifted the blockade on our country and allowed neighboring countries to communicate with our country. It would be fine if that was the only way, but the empire also participated in the communication."

"and then?"

Diablo is not a novice who knows everything. He understands the economic foundation of the Golden Twin Kingdom. Although he doesn't know how terrifying the empire is, the two are not on the same level. This is for sure.

"Economic plunder? Brain drain?"

"You know?" Queen Crystal Frost glanced at Diablo in surprise.

"Know a little bit."

"Then do you have a solution?" The Queen's eyes showed hope.

"Talk about the situation in detail first!" Diablo rubbed the space between his brows helplessly.

"After the Parkington Empire lifted the blockade, they sent people over to discuss a trade agreement with me..."

"Then a large number of high-quality and cheap products from the empire poured into the kingdom, and the high-quality and cheap products quickly replaced the low-efficiency and uneven-quality handmade products in the kingdom. For beggars."

Before the queen could finish speaking, Diablo spoke out, a backward agricultural country that could only be called a kingdom in terms of force, and was powerless in the face of an industrial country with advanced magic technology.

"You really know, is there a solution?"

"Yes, tariffs are imposed to limit the amount of these high-quality and cheap goods that flow into the country. At the same time, laws are introduced to find ways to protect your country's already weak manufacturing industries. When necessary, you have to pay for subsidies."

"I still have to pay?" Jun Wanglong was a little unhappy.

"If you don't want your country to become a leek field for the empire, you must bleed now."

Chapter 404 Brain Drain

"so serious?"

Hearing Diablo's words, Aristan's face suddenly became serious.But she subconsciously felt that this was alarmist talk, but her rationality told her that it was possible.

Although it is a king dragon that has survived for more than 500 years, in those years, which is quite long for mortals, she spent most of her time indulging in the extraordinary realm.In terms of governing the country, she is just new.

"Of course, the kingdom's production capacity structure and technology are too backward, even some well-developed principalities are inferior. When you open the market to foreign countries, the handicraft workshops in your kingdom, except for the most skilled ones , and the rest can only be slaughtered."

Combining his knowledge, Diablo said that with the development of free trade, the final result that the Kingdom of Crystal Frost may face,

"At that time, your kingdom's high-tech commodities can only be purchased from abroad, and the economy will lose its autonomy. Foreign merchants can unite to control the pricing power of your kingdom's commodities, and wantonly harvest the kingdom's wealth."

"I'll do as you say."

After listening to Diablo's words, the face of the Queen of Crystal Frost, Aristan, was a little distorted.It is impossible to interrupt trade with other countries.

Although she is a king, the kingdom is not hers.Because of the opening of the shopping malls, trade with other neighboring countries, and even business exchanges with the empire, the kingdom is still making a lot of profits so far.

Suspension is impossible, and trade with foreign countries must continue, but she will not allow the kingdom's economic market to develop to the point that Diablo said.

"According to what I said, it can only have a slowing effect. It can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause. The fundamental problem is that your kingdom's technology is too backward. The products produced, whether in terms of efficiency or quality, are far inferior to foreign countries."

"Then what should I do?"

Queen Crystal Frost humbly asked for advice, it was related to her wallet, and it was okay to lower her posture a bit.

"What else can we do? Of course, it is to cultivate high-tech talents. You have to find a way to send your loyal and highly intelligent talents to foreign colleges to learn high-end knowledge, and then let them come back to establish a complete magic industry system."

"Send someone to study abroad?"

Hearing Diablo's suggestion, Queen Crystal Frost's face became even uglier. The three words "unwilling" were directly written on her inhumanly perfect facial features.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Diablo didn't think there was anything wrong with the plan he gave. For a country that was completely behind in all aspects except for a slight advantage in force, it wanted to improve its national strength in a short period of time and narrow the technological gap with the empire. , sending overseas students is the only effective and direct way.

"You just said, talent plundering. But now you suggest that I take the initiative to send overseas students. Isn't this taking the initiative to send talents to other countries?"

It was already uncomfortable to watch other countries plunder money from her own country in a reasonable and legal way, but now she wants to improve her national strength, but this dragon of holy glory told him that she should take the initiative to take the money from her own country. Excellent talents are sent to other countries.

"If not, tell me, how do you shorten the gap with other countries, do you rely on your own research? How many detours will it take?"
