160: Red Kestrel Adventure Group
Chapter 160: Red Falcon Adventurer Group
Ultimately, after some negotiation, the core technology of the Magical Vehicle was sold for 170 million gold coins, which was the maximum liquid capital Elizabeth could mobilize.
Although the transaction price far exceeded the original expectation, Dick also included many additional core technologies. Everything bundled together was worth at least 300 million gold coins.
Dick obtained a huge amount of cash, while Elizabeth gained technical support for the magical revolution. It was a transaction that satisfied both parties.
The two currently only had a verbal agreement and had not signed any Magic Contract. After the Championship ended and they left the Underground City, Elizabeth would complete the transaction with Dick immediately.
And now, Elizabeth had clearly become Dick's key protection target, after all, she was 170 million gold coins on the move.
This resulted in Dick staying by Elizabeth's side most of the time, becoming a bodyguard just like Cecilia.
Anyone who dared to touch Elizabeth was touching Dick's 170 million gold coins, and that was seeking death.
Regarding this transaction, Elizabeth actually had her own little plan. She had long determined that Dick would become her King Consort in the future and stay by her side.
Since that was the case, Dick's money was her money, and her money was Amyria's money.
Overall, she didn't lose anything in this wave; it was even equivalent to earning 170 million for free.
Cecilia, who was beside them, was in turmoil. She didn't know about Elizabeth's calculations. What she cared about was the explosive statement from earlier.
Finally, several hours later during dinner, while Dick was cooking, Cecilia couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"
"Of course, after the Championship ends, I will officially sign a Magic Contract with Dick, and the subsequent contracts will also..."
"That's not it, Your Majesty," Cecilia's face flushed red as she corrected in a low voice, "I mean... about us serving together."
Hearing this, Elizabeth's pretty face instantly turned rosy. She had no experience in that area and had only been impulsive and spoken casually earlier.
Every time she was with Dick, she easily lost control.
But the Empress obviously couldn't admit her mistake in front of her subordinate, so Elizabeth stubbornly said, "Yes, is there something wrong?"
"Too, too wrong, Your Majesty, what on earth are you thinking? Women of my Emilia Royal Family have never... never been so shameless!"
Cecilia was very traditional in that regard and couldn't quite accept the abnormal relationship between three people, but most importantly, she couldn't accept Elizabeth's degeneration.
The great Empress of Aimiya sharing her husband with other women? This was simply a trampling of the Royal Family's etiquette!
"Hmph, I am not just any Royal Family woman, and Dick is not just any young man. Why should our actions be limited by ordinary rules and confined by worldly customs? Being stuck in worldly rules cannot make the Empire rise..."
Listening to these difficult-to-refute grand principles, Cecilia did not accept them. She always remembered the mission of the late Emperor and intended to correct Elizabeth if she went astray.
"Your Majesty, I will never agree. You are debasing yourself and lowering the dignity of being an Empress..."
Elizabeth crossed her arms over her chest and said indifferently, "Next time we rest overnight, I'll go find Dick after I shower."
"Your Majesty, you..."
Before Cecilia could finish, Elizabeth added, "You have to come too!"
"???"
...
At the same time, at the entrance of the First Layer of the Gaia Dungeon, a group of thirty adventurers was undergoing inspection.
"What are you going to the Gaia Dungeon for?"
Facing the question from the Adventurers Guild staff member, Victoria said gently, "We are from the Red Falcon Adventurer Group, preparing to pick up trash on the First Layer."
The First Princess of the Toya Empire had disguised herself at this time, using shapeshifting magic to transform into an ordinary middle-aged woman.
The most beautiful woman in the Toya Empire could now be lost in a crowd and not found immediately.
"Oh, the Red Falcon Adventurer Group, average level 14. Please bring your adventurer licenses for registration..."
Listening to the staff member's instructions, Victoria nodded in response and respectfully handed over the thirty adventurer licenses.
Victoria was smart; she put a small piece of gold leaf in the first adventurer license. This was a necessary bribe to prevent the staff member from deliberately holding them up and not letting them through.
After all, during the Championship, the Adventurers Guild would take full control of the competition venue, including but not limited to managing personnel entry and exit, executing adventurers who maliciously disrupted the rules, and so on.
Generally speaking, non-participating adventurers with levels above 20 would be prohibited from entering.
Not only would there be level restrictions, but carrying overly valuable equipment, having overly special magic professions, or even having a bad reputation would result in being prohibited from entering.
The Red Falcon Adventurer Group led by Victoria were not participants and needed to pass inspection to enter the Gaia Dungeon.
Although Victoria was fully prepared, with both their documents and their own levels meeting the requirements, allowing them to pass the inspection perfectly.
In theory, however, the staff could deliberately make things difficult for them and find various reasons to hold them up, so bribery was of paramount importance.
Soon, the staff member saw the gold leaf when checking the first adventurer license and quickly put it into their pocket with lightning speed.
"Okay, you have no problems. Go in and pick up trash. Good luck."
As expected, after only one minute, the staff member quickly checked all the adventurer licenses, averaging two seconds per license, clearly just going through the motions.
Victoria nodded and led everyone from the Red Falcon Adventurer Group into the Gaia Dungeon.
Not far away, the Spirit Snake Madam, who was sleeping at the entrance of the Gaia Dungeon, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at the Red Falcon Adventurer Group that had just entered with suspicion.
"Strange humans, why do they like to pretend to be pigs to eat tigers so much? So many strong people in their fifties are actually pretending to be rookies in their teens..."
The Spirit Snake Madam muttered to herself, then closed her beautiful eyes again and slowly fell asleep leaning against the sofa.
The task Dick gave her was to intercept the Youth Group adventure teams carrying cards with full marks. As for other matters, she was too lazy to do them.
Even if this so-called Red Falcon Adventurer Group slaughtered the entire Underground City, it was none of her business at all.
At the same time, on the Red Falcon Adventurer Group's side.
"Madam Victoria, that Spirit Snake Madam doesn't seem to have discovered us..."
Hearing this, Victoria chuckled and shook her head, glancing back at the Spirit Snake Madam at the entrance with a slight curve of her lips.
"How is that possible? The First Layer is her domain. Our little illusion might be able to fool the idiots of the Adventurers Guild, but it definitely can't fool her!"
Another member joked, "What if she discovered us? A mere level 58 magic snake would be tired of living if she dared to cause us trouble!"
"Let's go quickly. Within a week, I want the life of that Empress of Aimiya!"
Victoria urged, then walked forward. The Red Falcon members immediately fell silent and followed closely in a neat formation.
