Chapter 1331 Lorraine 19
Louis didn't understand, but he was greatly impressed by the boldness in Tan You's words.
He hugged the birdcage and said obediently, "I will always follow in my elder sister's footsteps. Wherever my elder sister goes, I will go!"
Tan You nodded in satisfaction and stroked Louis's head: "I look forward to Louis's future, but that's in the future. Let's talk about the present."
She glanced at the "birdcage" in Louis's arms. When the two giant dragons inside met Tan You's gaze, they suddenly trembled, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.
Then, Tan You's slightly hoarse voice rang out: "What do you plan to do with these two?"
Chris's large head peeked in through the window, and upon hearing this, he added insult to injury, "Little Louis, let them sing you little tunes. Don't some of you humans like to keep birds?"
"Just treat them like birds. When you're happy, let them out for a ride. When you're unhappy, whip them a few times."
Ignoring Chris's urging, Louis asked Tan You, "Elder sister, what is productivity?"
He still remembered the word "productivity" that Tan You had mentioned, and he kept thinking about it.
Tan You thought for a moment and said, "In my eyes, productivity is equivalent to labor. If these two dragons are just kept in cages, they are merely birds for people to watch. Apart from making you happy, they can't serve any other purpose."
"But if we send them out to fight, like this dragon, which is aquatic, I can have it guide the water sources of the exile lands. If there are places that are drought-stricken and short of water, I can have it artificially bring rain."
"That's its purpose."
"The most important thing is to properly position capable people so that their talents can be fully utilized."
Louis seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to. He shook the birdcage: "Then, eldest sister, where are you going to put them? It's such a waste to keep them singing and dancing in the cage."
Phoenix and Theodore nodded repeatedly. They wanted to go out now, and whether they would listen to the lord after they came out was something they would decide later.
The place of exile is so vast, how could a human like her keep such a close watch on me?
Tan You didn't even need to think to know that these two giant dragons wouldn't obediently listen to her. How could she release them so easily?
"You can leave if you want, but you can either sign an employment contract or a master-servant contract."
Louis didn't understand the labor contract, but he understood the master-servant contract. He grinned, revealing a gap-toothed smile: "Elder sister, what's a labor contract?"
The two dragons inside the cage, having overheard the master-servant pact, were nearly driven mad. They frantically flapped their wings, but could not break free no matter what they did, and finally could only lie dejectedly at the bottom of the cage.
The only thing to say is regret. Why did I have to be so foolish as to cause trouble for Chris?
And now? He's being manipulated and humiliated by others, while Chris watches with glee.
Tan You looked at the two giant dragons who were almost in a state of depression: "You both know what the master-servant contract is. From now on, your life, death, honor, and disgrace will be in my hands, and I will be able to mold you however I want."
The Frost Dragon Phoenix raised his eyelids, a hint of ruthlessness in his voice: "We would rather die than be slaves."
Tan You raised an eyebrow: "So I gave you another option."
"Sign an employment contract, and you will work for me until I am promoted to the God of Magic. The work schedule is 16 hours a day, 6 days on, 1 day off, and a monthly salary of 1 gold coin." "If you are absent without leave or slack off, the contract term will be automatically extended."
"If you agree, then sign the contract."
Louis was somewhat displeased: "One gold coin? That's too much. Are they even worth that much money?"
Phoenix and Theodore both looked at Louis. Why did this little guy say something so hurtful?
How can they be worthless? They are proud dragons, dragons, okay?
Louis wanted to save Tan You money: "Elder sister, we used to only get one gold coin a month in the Dubot family. How come they're on par with you? Why?"
"One only knows how to flood, the other only knows how to set off fireworks."
Tan You smiled: "If used properly, they can play a huge role."
Neither of the dragons wanted to sign an employment contract or a master-servant agreement. But now, trapped in their cage, they had no choice but to submit. In the end, the two dragons could only reluctantly sign Tan You's employment contract; what else could they do?
Louis, holding the two scrolls, watched Phoenix and Theodore leave with Chris, then looked at Tan You in confusion: "Elder sister, why didn't you just sign a master-servant contract with them? They can't do anything to you then."
Tartarus didn't leave; he just sat next to Tan You, wanting to hear what Tan You had to say.
Tan You carefully put away the two volumes of labor contracts before looking at Louis: "Never push someone to the brink of despair, unless you are absolutely certain you can kill them with one blow."
"When we first arrived in the Land of Exile, even with the support of the gods and the allegiance of the undead and fairies, the power we had at our disposal was still very weak."
"Of course I could simply and crudely sign a master-servant contract with the dragons, but that's the lowest of the low. But if I let Phoenix and Theodore go easily, it would make me look weak and vulnerable, and how would I get anything done in the future?"
"I was originally thinking about how to establish my authority, and Phoenix and Theodore just happened to come to me. Since that's the case, I'll just go with the flow. I need to let others know that I'm not someone to be trifled with, and that offending me will definitely come at a price."
"However, even with ruthless methods, one must also have a compassionate heart. No one wants their leader to be a cruel person."
"Take gods, for example. They may have a terrible reputation, but why do so many races still follow them? It's because when others don't accept them, the gods provide them with protection."
"If you think about it more often, you'll gradually understand."
Tartarus didn't expect Tan You to use him as an example, and couldn't help but smile. But upon closer reflection, Tan You was right.
"If I can humiliate the dragons today, I can treat other races the same way in the future. Who will truly listen to my leadership then? A leader who is not loved and respected cannot hold power for long, no matter how strong he is."
"Not to mention that we also need to get things done, which naturally requires the cooperation of all races."
"Why fight like cats and dogs when everyone can govern the exile area peacefully? In the end, you only get temporary pleasure, but you don't accomplish anything you want to do. It's not worth it."
Carlos chuckled, "Your Lordship is wise!"
Tan You raised an eyebrow and looked at Louis: "Did you understand?"
Louis nodded, clenching his fist: "Understood. In the future, if I encounter someone who doesn't listen to me, I'll beat them into submission first, and then reason with them!"
