Chapter 400: Dragon City Anecdote

"You are hopeless, remember to buy a tomb first, lest you die and have no place to bury you."

At some point, when the doctor says that to you, it's not that you're hopeless, but that...

"If you want to survive, don't be stingy about asking money."

And if you are really hopeless, I'm afraid you won't say anything in front of you, and you will either inform your family or try to make excuses.

When negotiating, this similar technique is also used a lot.

First, make the problem as serious as possible, and hold it up high, and if you are frightened, then all kinds of blackmail-like conditions will be accepted as they are ordered.

I'm used to using this kind of negotiating skills in the past, but this time, I didn't lie.

"...The collapse of this plane is unstoppable. Now that the Titans have awakened, and even the avatars have started to move freely in the outside world, it is almost impossible to let them fall into sleep again."

Yes, when a person has awakened from a long sleep, and is even ready to get up, is there any way to make him go back to sleep?

Although I don't know who made the seal back then, but a race can be sealed with a self-balancing plane, at least it is the existence of the goddess of chaos and order, and there is a loophole in the perfect seal he arranged, and I want to fix it , how difficult it is.

"The seal in the past was like a precision door lock arranged by a master craftsman. Now the lock is partially broken. If you want to repair this lock, you poor craftsman, you must first understand the structure of the lock. It is best to have a lock. Design drawings, and then remove it for revision. Of course. The easiest. Just add a lock next to it."

Follow this line of thought. If you want to repair the seal again, you have to untie the seal first, but this world is over, and the so-called simplest solution is meaningless just to put a new seal on the surface of the seal. Titans can crush the old one. Seal, the new seal is even simpler.

So even though all branches of the Dragon Clan racked their brains and searched through the past classics, they still couldn't find a way. Now I came to ask a human mage for help, but I didn't actually expect much.

But on this occasion, I said bluntly that it can't be done, which is almost saying "Although you invited me to come, you are still hopeless."

The person who invited him couldn't help but smiled triumphantly, what he said was a matter of course, Horus was suddenly stopped, and it took a long time to say a word.

"You are very sincere.

"

"Of course, honesty is a virtue, and telling lies that will be seen through at will. It's not about morality, but pure stupidity."

Lies can indeed reap substantial benefits in certain circumstances. But according to my experience with Xiaohong, when dealing with dragons, especially old dragons, it is stupid to use lies to cheat. In addition to their constant detection of lies, true seeing and other spells, the more terrible However, this kind of large lizard that relies on instinct is often amazing intuition, and can judge whether the other party has good intentions and lies just by intuition.

But if there is really no other way, I don't need to come.

I shook the wine glass, and through the bright red like blood, the scene in front of me was like a dream.

"...Although they will wake up for example, this space is destined to be collapsed. There is no other way. We can delay the time for the other party to wake up, and there are even ways to prevent the collapse. Of course, which step we need to take It cost a lot to…”

------------

I finished talking with Horus, or should I say fooling around, and the welcome banquet came to an end naturally, but it was already late at night outside.

I did not follow their invitation to settle in at the location arranged by Dragon City, but chose to return to the Northern Lights moored outside the city, and wait for tomorrow's dawn to conduct formal consultations.

After all, sometimes it's better to be a little more careful, especially when you've got all kinds of treasures on you and you've just stumbled into a group of professional robbers.

"...Professional robbers? If you belittle the Dragon Clan like this, Ainmethius (Xiaohong) will be very upset if you know it."

"No, if she really knows, she will only praise it proudly. After all, she was the female dragon who wrote the robbery reason manual back then. In her mind, robbery is also a skill, and she herself is this skill master."

Walking on the streets of Dragon City, I admired the priceless jade buildings, and then spoke ill of the Dragon Clan.

"...Needless to say, they were like this back then. They regarded robbery as a normal profession. Color dragons had no scruples. Even metal dragons often do similar things, but they often use them to fight evil and so on. excuses. But in the end the fortunes of the 'villains' are gone."

"Heh, for a long period of time, they are the bosses of the main plane's individual combat power, and no one cares about them if they do bad things. The unrestricted violence will naturally get out of control, just like the domineering children who are undisciplined. Yes, it's normal to take other people's things as your own."

When Heloise and I walked on the road, in addition to constantly attracting the attention of bystanders, we also attracted many "followers", but the followers disappeared as we walked.

The previous incidents have already made us mobile bombs in the eyes of the Dragon Clan. In order to prevent us from causing trouble, there are naturally people following secretly to disperse those uninvited guests.

And knowing that there are people following in the dark, we still speak ill of the Dragon Clan without fear, and even deliberately amplify our voices.

"Go back now?"

"Of course not. It's rare to come here once. I also plan to visit the night view of Dragon City."

"Walking around the streets with a bunch of tails? Do you like being treated like a monkey so much?"

"Of course not, so let's change clothes."

Randomly find a corner to wander in, and a series of traffic accidents suddenly appear behind, and when they appear again, they are no longer the two people just now.

The red full-coverage armor is carrying a giant heavy sword, coupled with a strong dragon vein breath, which is not uncommon in this city.

For some reason, this kind of fighter who deliberately makes people invisible is the mainstream. After all, the awakening of the dragon veins brings power at the same time. Those who can still maintain an acceptable appearance are lucky. Those pure-blooded dragons also judge people by their appearance. It's not a good feeling to be treated like a bastard.

As for the most common detection spells? I was immune from the start.

And when I passed by the flustered follower, the epee turned into a black cat on her shoulder again. She rolled lazily and scratched the cat's beard. She is most comfortable.

"Go there? To rob the treasure house of the Dragon Clan? Or to steal more dragon eggs?"

"...I'm not a giant dragon, and I don't have that hobby. What's more, if something happens again, everyone will know that we did it. Go and see what the dragon clan hides."

"Hidden things?"

"Well, don't you find this city too peaceful?"

"You mean... giants?"

I nodded. At that time, Helent had the impression of the war between giants and dragons. I don't think they will get rid of all those difficult giants in a short period of time. Even if they win, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. I I hope I can actually understand the actual combat power of those giants. It would be even better if there are battle reports from the two races.

"Why don't the dragons lead the way themselves, anyway. We are all allies now."

"...will you let your 'allies' see your weakness?"

"……Too."

But unfortunately, although we worked very hard to find it. I searched along the paths of healing and drinking water, but there were still no traces of those injured dragons.

"Even if it is a dragon, it will inevitably need a lot of water and medicine to supplement after being injured. It seems that it may not be here."

"...Where will it be, the front line of the battlefield? There won't be another Dragon City, right? Hey, what are you thinking about so seriously, I'm just talking casually."

"No, maybe it's really possible. I don't think those dragons will expose their real core so easily."

And our two envoys chatted while walking, and from time to time, we even looked at the stalls on the side of the road, trying to pick up some rare treasures or something... what? Are we not doing business anymore? We are just doing business. Aren’t diplomats also serving as spies? See if we are still collecting other people’s sentiments. Are we as dedicated as we are?

"...It seems that you are thinking about something very impolite. Normal diplomats are not all spies and spies. They are the bond between the two countries. They are very hard."

"...Well, well, trying to test the bond of the background color of the other party's underwear, and then mobilizing the other party's people to take to the streets, etc., and finally trying to sponsor the opponent's domestic opposition. It is a hard bond."

Although there is still no huge gain, but chatting and talking nonsense, my mood has improved a lot along the way.

"To be honest, if the situation permits, I really want to make a deal with the Dragon Clan. After all, every giant dragon is a treasure house, and the accumulation of so many resources is really worth seeing."

"...how to trade? The Dragon Clan doesn't lack anything."

"Hmph, they have a lot of shortages. Didn't you realize that life in Dragon City is very monotonous? There are no casinos, brothels, or bars in normal cities, and even if they don't lack anything, can't we create consumption? Eat, drink, and scatter, you can’t make money like that.”

"You mean?"

"Don't look at Xiaohong's inconspicuous appearance. In fact, she attaches great importance to her scales. She will go to the volcanic bath every once in a while, and she will also polish her nails regularly. It is said that if she does not take care of them for a long time, the scales will decrease. Combat power."

This is not my nonsense, human nails are boring and cracked, probably just ugly, and if the dragon claws are scratched out and the nails are broken, it will probably make the opponent laugh out loud, and the volcanic bath is rich in minerals and fire elements , can make the red dragon's scale armor more vigorous and hard, and it is also the only way to enhance the defense ability. One of the roots of the silver dragon robbing the volcano, it is said that the silver dragon is also the most beautiful among the dragon clan...

"Look, those mothers are so troublesome with the little dragon. She can transform into a human form, but the baby is bigger than her and difficult to manage. We can provide baby storage services, let them go shopping happily, um, we can also sell necks Circle them and let them walk with their young dragons on their tethers."

"...It sounds like a pet store for humans."

"Hey, don't worry about this little thing. Besides, besides those traditional services, we can do beauty and manicure here. Look how monotonous the color of their wings is. It's either red or blue. There's only one color, We can provide painted tattoo services, such as embroidering a big tiger, lion and so on."

"...Don't mention how awkward it is to embroider a tiger's head on the dragon. One wing on the dragon is red and the other is white? Is it a red dragon or a white dragon?"

"Yeah, Heloise, you are such a genius, you reminded me, this is a really good idea, we can also provide other dragon services. For example, you are annoying the black dragon. You can apply a layer of it Gold, and make camouflage on the dragon's head and wings, pretending to be a golden dragon. This way it is much more convenient to rob, who will always guard against a golden dragon with a 'full sense of justice'."

"...Don't say it, I think if you really do this, you will probably be hunted down by all the dragons, especially the golden dragons."

"Yes, you

Gossiping is probably the best way to relax. Frankly speaking, Dragon City still gave me a lot of pressure. After all, anyone who sees the battle strength above the holy rank and legend in the street will shudder, not to mention the group of dragon elders in the banquet. To be able to achieve that position, the weakest one is an ancient dragon, no worse than ordinary epic powerhouses, and the strongest... there are at least five targets that I can't see through at all, conservatively estimated that they all surpassed it My heyday.

"The Dragon Clan is really blessed. These golden bloodlines are simply too cheap. As long as the adult is the weakest, it is the golden rank combat power. With a little training, it can crush ordinary legends, and human beings can only be a silver to the top after training for a lifetime."

"...By the way, since they are so powerful, they should have had a good time in that 'history'."

I just shook my head.

"Basically, it's similar to a mage. In the first half, he was a pig teammate in a sleepwalking state. He thought he could stay out of the matter this time. When he found out that the situation was wrong and fully participated in the battle, the battle was about to collapse."

"Same as Cloud Tower?"

I just remembered that I didn't seem to have told Heloise about the extremely bad report card of the kingdom of wizards in "history".

"Well, it's actually the same thing. It's all about their overconfidence in their own strength, which makes them used to sit back and watch the outside world change, thinking that everything is just a fleeting moment, a short-term torrential rain, and when they find themselves sucked into a deep quagmire and unable to get out , It’s hard to get up again. Didn’t you realize that whenever I talked about holy wars, that Horus would either pretend to be stroking his beard and giggling, or just interrupted, making it clear that the Dragon Clan still planned to stay out of the matter this time.”

"...What happened to the Dragon Clan in history?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the big tree attracts wind and others always think about it. It was turned into a bone dragon army by the undead, slaughtered by evil gods, parasitized by bugs, cooked and eaten by giants. Later, scattered dragons even the human empire All the battleships are going around. Of course, they joined the coalition later, but they have suffered heavy losses, and several branches have even become extinct."

"Oh, so this is still a prophet? Will the Dragon Race be so miserable in the future? Can you tell me in detail?"

What surprised me was that the "person" inserted into the dialogue between me and Heloise's psychological link was behind me.

I turned around abruptly, only to find that it was a seemingly young snow elf, whose short body was not as tall as my lover's, and the little red apple-like face was very cute.

"How is it possible? How can the conversation of the mind link be eavesdropped."

While his face was full of surprise and inexplicable, the white rose in his sleeve was pinched in his hand, his face was still pale with shock, but in his heart he was seriously calculating the information that could be leaked, and was considering the possibility of killing people in Longcheng.

"...Young people these days are really scary. They always want to kill people and silence them. Don't worry, young man, I came here with good intentions. Please put away your rose. The old man can't bear it when he is old. scare."

The little Zhengtai-like snow elf spoke old-fashionedly, obviously an old monster, those silver-white eyes that looked extremely pure had actually seen through everything.

"The old man's name has been forgotten by the world. You can call the old man Sam, the ancient white dragon. After all, he should be the grandfather of the white dragon you killed before. By the way, what do you need to color the white dragon to become a golden dragon?" How much do you charge? Can I owe the debt, the old man is very poor." (To be continued...)

ps: Well, make adjustments, there will be two updates tomorrow, one chapter at noon and one chapter at night, try to advance the update time.
