Chapter 515: Curse
"Hawkers, if there was no parental system, our dragon clan would have been solved as early as the god generation, and it would definitely not have survived until now. The dragon girl sighed and said, it seems that she knows a lot, but ......
"Then now I can finally talk about it, what does the parental relationship you just mentioned have to do with me......" said himself, and the dragon girl in front of him also smiled slightly. "I'm really sorry, because I haven't talked to a normal human in a long time, so now I feel like I'm a little bit wrong. With a slight flick of her tail, the dragon girl continued. "So...... A word about the origin of the dragon family's parents...... Humans, you know what? about the curse of the dragons. β
"Is the curse of the dragons...... "I thought about it for a while, to be honest, the dragons should basically have no curses, because the existence that can curse the dragons should not be in this place, but ......
"I see...... yes, at this time, I also remembered the description in the old picture book - the ordinal number of the dragon race that cannot be continued. "Whew...... If I'm not mistaken, it's probably about the reproduction of the race. He said so, and the dragon girl in front of him also gave herself a smile.
"Yes...... That's it, I'll be honest about why our race has a breeding problem - we're cursed. β
"Sure enough......" Although there is no conclusive evidence, I did hear that the dragon was cursed by the gods in a certain movie, and since it was cursed, it seems that the dragon clan has no way to continue to reproduce in large numbers.
"You know what...... Before we reproduction, the degree of reproduction is much higher than that of ordinary humans, as long as it is a dragon over ten years old, it can indeed lay eggs, and the degree of egg hatching has even reached half a year. What do you think...... It sounds a little scary now, but at that time it was a very common situation, and in the time of the gods, we dragons basically flew in groups like bats or other birds. β
"Wow ......" just imagined it, and he already knew what a terrifying situation that scene was, if the dragons who were called the embodiment of evil in that era came out in groups, as long as they didn't encounter the gods, there would be no way for ordinary races to do any harm to these dragons.
"You'd be wrong. "Probably peeking into her own thoughts," the girl in front of her also shook her head and said. "At that time, we were much weaker than the blood clan of this era, do you know why......"
"I see. Because of the high fecundity, all the power is used for the next generation......"
"That's it, because of the high fecundity, the power stored in the body is stored in the egg every time the egg is laid, so that the child inside can absorb it, but ...... Of course, because of the absorption of these powers, most of the young dragons born from eggs already have some degree of strength at a very young age. However, although these forces seem very weak to us now, they are still in their beginnings for the Protoss at that time...... This power of ours is a calamity, so ...... They have cursed us. Speaking of this, the dragon girl also sighed loudly, but ...... I just sighed, but I didn't see the presence of anger or hatred in her eyes. If there's any real emotion, it's β rejoice.
"In those days, in order to calm down, nay, silence us, in order to be a calamity, a large number of gods cast a curse on the altar. If it was just the curse of a few gods, it shouldn't matter to our entire race, but it was hundreds, thousands of gods with divine power, although the power of a single god race was not at all pressure in front of us, but when these gods gathered, their divine power still had an effect on us. With a sigh, the dragon girl continued. "The first thing that is limited is our reproductive power. As I said before, dragons could even give birth to offspring in half a year before they were cursed, but now it's different. After being cursed, five hundred years, in a long five hundred years, the dragon clan can only give birth to one dragon, and do you know, how long the dragon clan lives?"
"What is the lifespan of the dragons...... Isn't it infinite, I remember, there is a ...... in mythology, "Yes, the description of dragons in mythology should be infinite or close to infinite life, but ......
"Whew. A thousand years, the time we dragons can live, the time we can exist in this world - only a thousand years. Although, in the past, we thought it was a very long time, and there were many dragons who lived for hundreds of years and then went to think about it. But...... After being cursed, even if it were a thousand years of full life, we would be able to produce only one pair, two dragons, how about despair? The dragon girl asked herself.
I nodded, indeed, about this, let's explain it from a human perspective. First - humans are a race that is not very fecund. In a year, at most three to four offspring will be born, which is still a very small probability of probability, the normal probability that human beings can give birth to one offspring a year, and in a lifetime, human beings will only give birth to two offspring at most, of course, this is in modern times. But...... Why do you have more children - because it doesn't matter.
Yes, it doesn't matter, because the number of human beings is very large, and by this time it has basically occupied most of the earth, and even if the number of human beings is small, they only need to give birth to more offspring in their lifetime. Yes, it's not that difficult for humans as a whole to give birth to offspring or something, but ...... If one day, God told mankind that human beings can only produce two offspring in their lifetime, what would human beings think......
Yes, that's panic, and while most humans only give birth to two offspring in their lifetime, it just doesn't matter, but if they can only give birth to two, the meaning is completely different, and at that point, humans will probably roar miserably.
What does it mean to be able to give birth to only two offspring β it means that the number of human beings will definitely not increase. Yes, the number of human beings will definitely not increase, compared to the current human population, which is still increasing, what will happen to the stagnation of human population-that is, the number of human beings will definitely decrease. And then - extinction.
Yes, it's that simple, and if you transfer this statement to the dragons - you already understand what the impact of this situation has on the dragons.
"Yes, the number of dragons has decreased significantly in terms of this curse, although the curse sent down by the gods has other effects on the dragons, but all the other influences combined, they are not comparable to such a curse. And then...... In just a thousand years, the number of dragons began to decline sharply, because most dragons simply did not live that long. The hunt of the gods, in order to obtain rare materials, or - to steal the precious dragon eggs of the dragons. To be honest, that era was the darkest age of the dragons, just a year ago, the total number of dragons was 9o% less, and in the years to come, presumably the number of dragons will continue to be weakened, there is no doubt about it. So...... In order to avoid this, the dragons have developed a system of parenting. β
"I'm sorry, I'm a little excited. Wiping the sweat left on her face, the dragon girl said with a sigh. "Ah, Elder, are you in? And when she heard the dragon girl say this, she also saw the gap opened behind her, and an alien species came in. And that alienated species is an elder who can easily deal with himself.
"Well...... I just wonder why it hasn't come out yet, princess, it looks ...... You're so happy. There was a hint of relief on the elder's face, but it only appeared for a moment, and the next moment it was hidden in his eyes.
"Well, because I haven't seen a human for a long time, I've been talking for a little longer, so Elder, this is what you want. As she spoke, the dragon girl also showed the bead in her hand. However, compared to her own hand, the light emitted by this bead in the hand of the dragon girl is also much stronger, probably because of the same clan.
"Yes, princess, please lend us this thing if you can, we need it very much. The elder said respectfully, but he also saw a look of fear and greed in the corner of the turtle's eyes.
"Cut. Gently smashing his tongue, the face of this dragon called the princess also had a trace of helplessness. "Really, you really haven't changed, Elder, for your own sake and your race, even if I don't want to give it to you, you will fight with your life to take it, but...... I don't think I can say that this time. To give. As she spoke, the dragon girl also threw the bead towards herself.
And I took such a bead very easily, and the temperature of this bead was even higher than when I got it at the beginning.
"This bead was obtained by the human in front of you, so if you want it, then ask him to borrow it. As she spoke, the dragon girl also stared at herself with an indifferent look.
"I see. "Focus all your attention on yourself, so you can see your true character, right...... I don't care.
"Well, give it. "I don't care about it, I don't know the use of this bead, so it doesn't matter if I give these alienated seeds.
"Hey, I almost forgot, human...... Would it really be nice for you to give this bead to these aliens? At this time, the dragon girl also cracked the corners of her mouth and said.
"What? what do you mean. Just as she was about to give this bead to the elder, the dragon girl also said the same thing behind her.
"It's not interesting, it's just...... Will you just give this bead to this pig...... That's the question. And even in front of this elder, this dragon girl doesn't care.
"Princess, please respect yourself, do you know what you're talking about?" Hearing what the dragon girl said, the elder also said excitedly to the dragon girl, and he was also - the first time he saw this elder so excited.
"What do you mean, Dragon Maiden?" he asked himself, turning to the Dragon Maiden, who seemed to be ready to speak. "Looks like you already know the alien species are coming. The dragon girl asked herself, and she nodded, as if the witch clan had sealed them.
"Then you know why the witch sealed them. β
"No, you don't seem to have told me that. Whyβisn't it the witch's own initiative?" he asked the elder, who smacked his tongue but didn't reply to his words.
"Heh, it seems that you have a weak heart, "venerable" elder, why is this race sealed, can you please tell the truth well, probably, you haven't even told the truth to your people. β
"Damn, why do you want to get in my way, Princess, for all this time, but I, our people, are protecting you. β
"Indeed, I have a lot of respect for you, but...... The person who brought me here seems to be you. β
"Hmm. Hearing the dragon girl's words, a trace of sweat was also left on the elder's face. "Why do I know...... Well, do you think I don't know about this...... It's a thing inside the egg. Respectable egg thiefβthat's a name for you, hypocrite. β
"Damn. What do you know...... Only your power, we, and I can return to human identity, but you ...... You're holding me back at this time, why, you just have to watch it here, even if you have the human factor, do you want to help these stupid guys?" the elder asked the dragon girl, who nodded. "Of course, you shouldn't have forgotten, our race has signed a contract with humans, so ......"
"Cut, I see. In that case, have you forgotten what I implanted in your body, and I could have pretended not to know anything if you didn't say these superfluous words, but since you said so, then...... Dragonmaiden - go and snatch this dragon ball from this human's hand, it's an order. β
"Is this really the case...... However, you seem to be underestimating me. At this time, something also appeared in the hand of this dragon girl.
"Is this a bead?" Yes, another bead appeared on the dragon girl's hand, but compared to the bead in her hand, the bead on the dragon girl's hand was extremely dark, as if it was an abyss, attracting her consciousness.
