Fortunately, both parties have a common friend and can cooperate to some extent. The first step of the plan can be said to be over-achieved.

As for paying for food and space, you don’t need to worry too much about such small things.

Besides, beef is indeed delicious, but it must be expensive.

"Okay, I admit that the dragon's appetite is very large compared to you humans, and we also drove away the people in this factory.

How much do we have to pay for this?”

Luke said: "The food fee is 10 million Reichsmarks per day, and the accommodation fee is also 10 million Reichsmarks."

The Golden Dragon King Tyron said: "I don't understand the value of the Imperial Mark. A piece of paper can actually buy things. Let's pay with gold... Do you accept gold?"

Agatha didn't expect that King Tyran would accept such an outrageous offer without even paying back the price, and she would pay in gold.

Who would have thought that Meteor actually thought about it and said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, King Tyron, the Golden Shield Empire has abolished the use of precious metals as currency. Moreover, all the gold collected by the dragon is raw ore, and there are many impurities in it.

It still needs to be refined to make jewelry.

Your Highness, the eldest princess, all the gold in the empire is used to make tableware, so it’s really useless if we ask for too much gold.”

When Agatha saw that Luke didn't even want gold, she knew that he must be thinking about something better in the Dragon Kingdom.

Therefore, Agatha also said very distressedly: "Gold is so heavy, it is too inconvenient to use it as currency. Now gold is just a good-looking metal to us, and it is even worse than steel in terms of practical use."

The Golden Dragon King Tyron sighed: "I didn't expect that you humans have seen the essence of gold clearly. They are very beautiful metals. Besides gold, what else do you accept as currency?"

Dragons like to collect shiny things. The dragon kingdom has very rich gold reserves, so each dragon has a large amount of gold stored in its lair. King Tyron even owns a gold mountain.

But collecting gold is just a hobby of dragons, and they don't value gold. After all, it can't be eaten, and dragons don't use gold to trade with each other.

Seeing that King Tyran agreed to trade with other items, Luke said: "Steam technology has been widely used in the human world now, and the fire crystal used to provide heat energy for steam engines is a consumable. I know that there is a very huge fire in the Dragon Kingdom.

Crystal reserves, if the dragon is willing to use fire crystals to pay for food and accommodation, I think Her Royal Highness the Princess will be very happy to accept this deal."

Upon hearing that the Dragon Kingdom had huge reserves of fire crystals, Agatha immediately said: "The empire is very willing to accept fire crystals."

"Fire crystal?"

The Golden Dragon King Tyron thought of those red crystal stones that generate heat. There are indeed many such crystal stones in the Dragon Kingdom, much more than gold. Apart from generating heat, the dragons don't think this stone has any use.

Exchanging fire crystals for beef is more cost-effective than paying with gold.

"Yes. But...if the amount is too large, you need to go to the Dragon Kingdom to dig and transport it yourself."

"No problem." Luke didn't expect that King Tyron would actually ask him to go to the Dragon Kingdom to dig for fire crystals, so there was nothing to be polite about: "Can our ship go to the Dragon Kingdom to ensure safety?"

"You go to my territory and bring more delicious beef to my children. They will ensure your safety. The price of the beef they eat will be deducted from the fire crystal."
