Chapter 108: The Test in the Cave
After the night, Renekton's breath was already weak, and his wounds had begun to deteriorate and become a blur of flesh and blood because of the pain that had made him describe as withered.
Xia Yi didn't take the initiative to talk to him, she calculated the speed of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and in about another day, they would be able to climb the Snow Peak, but she didn't find the wealth in the dragon's lair, nor did she get any clues about the Orc epic items.
The ice cave was sealed, and it was the Frost Dragon who guarded them.
Through the soul breath outside the cave, Xia Yi learned that the dragon had been napping for the past two days, and it looked quiet but very irritable.
Finally, the frost dragon couldn't help it, it grabbed the crack in the ice wall with one claw, Xia Yi patted the ice ballast on his body, sat up, this dragon's strength is really big enough, her small body is definitely not thicker than this ice wall.
"Get up, dwarf, I know you're alive."
The Frost Dragon breathed a cold breath and even spoke, it spoke the lingua franca of the continent!
Xia Yi raised his eyebrows, amusedly surprised, and said, "I thought that the dragon could only speak dragon language, but this also fully proves that you are indeed a perfect race, both in terms of strength and intelligence. ”
She was a little excited, after all, it was the first time she had spoken to a dragon, but what she received was a cold answer, the frost dragon had no voice, its voice was like the whistling of the Valley of the Wind, it sounded vague and intimidating.
"Sweet words don't give you any chance of survival." The dragon replied, turning to the dwarf lying on the ground. "Dwarven warriors are notoriously tenacious, and you're no worse off than I am. ”
Renekton opened his eyes, and he struggled to his feet. Stand up on one foot without saying a word.
"The Ice Clan asked me to guard you, I'm not a watchdog, in order to save my strength, I decided to leave only one person."
The Frost Dragon's meaning is clear, it's going to kill a man. Xia Yi craned his neck, gave it a strange look, and asked, "Can you go against your master's wishes?" So why do you want to be a mount? ”
Shay only understood according to the rules of the contract she knew, in the Forsaken Lands, once she contributed to the Fire of Oath. The servant dared to disobey his master's command. will be punished by the God of Contract.
Perhaps it was her words that angered the Frost Dragon. It roared at Shay, who could feel the cold wind and broken ice as if it were about to tear itself apart.
"Me! Kamulas! Not a slave to anyone! No one can be my master! "The dragon's voice was like thunder." No one! The humble Ice Clan can't be above a dragon! ”
"Okay, okay, count me ...... gaffe"
Xia Yi admits her mistake, and she doesn't want to remind the dragon that it has been used as a mount by the Ice Clan. Xia Yi steadied herself, she was almost blown away by the dragon's breath just now!
Kamulas calmed down and said impatiently, "You decide for yourselves, who will be the survivor." ”
This choice is the most difficult for Renekton. He is weak now, as long as Xia Yi knows some martial arts, he can defeat him.
"Dear Kamulas, the life and death of our dwarf race has never been in the hands of others, even if the other party is a dragon, even if it is a captive, we have dignity!"
Xia Yi secretly said that this dwarf is too cunning, and he is righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, and he has a lot of bellies.
"I'd love to try it out with Mr. Dwarf, but ...... Mr. Dragon, this is not a Colosseum after all, and if you win, you may not be able to live, and you may also suffer the wrath of the Ice Clan, so I have a small request, you must let the winner between us go. ”
Xia Yi glanced at Renekton, his face was very gloomy, she didn't want to die with this dwarf, even if he was in his prime, Xia Yi's strength should not be underestimated, not to mention, the dwarf was already half crippled.
"Don't blame me for falling into the well, it's you who want to calculate me first." Xia Yi muttered that she was not a saint who repaid her grievances with virtue.
The Frost Dragon was condescending, its blue eyes staring at Xia Yi as it hesitated.
"Mr. Dragon, I don't know what despicable means the Ice Clan has used to temporarily imprison you, but I know that the Dragon will not obey the orders of an inferior race."
Kamulas was said to have moved, and just because it was now under control did not mean that it could not be disobeyed.
The frost dragon said to the dwarf: "Of course I will not call you to fight, the fight between the two ants will only make me sleepy, the dragons are fair, dwarf, if you can use your wisdom to convince me, let you go." ”
Wendou? Shay didn't expect the Frost Dragon to come up with such a method.
This made the dwarf leader breathe a sigh of relief, no matter how good Xia Yi is, he can't be more knowledgeable than an elder, he Renekton is already in his seventies! I've seen more gold than Shay has ever seen gravel!
Renekton gladly accepted: "What's the comparison?" ”
Kamulas said proudly, "A hundred years ago, I was already the first warrior among the dragons, and now, I am after the first wise man of the dragon clan!" If you ask each other questions, and if you can't answer them, even if you lose, I can act as a notarizer, and if any of you can't even answer my questions, I'll make an exception and let you two go. ”
Xia Yi was stunned, and the dragon is more intelligent than the dragon?
To be honest, she didn't even figure out her "birthplace", the abandoned place!
"Really?" Xia Yi asked timidly, she preferred simple and crude solutions, and using her brain was not what she was good at, "What are the rules of the competition?" If a dwarf speaks a dwarven language, I can't answer it anyway! ”
"Rules ......," thought the dragon, "rules are questions that can only have answers, and you can be a riddle, an alchemical knowledge...... Other than that, I'm the rule! ”
Xia Yi didn't dare to guarantee the dragon's morality, and she could only accept it when it came to this, and said with a wink: "Any questions? ”
"Any questions!" The frost dragon nodded a little bit of a huge head.
"Ladies first??" Xia Yi asked weakly.
This made Kamulas despise this woman, and he even wondered if it was an insult to his wisdom to ask such a slick and superficial woman questions.
The dragon said coldly, "The injured are first. ”
"Ahh Fair and wise decision! ”
Renekton bowed to the dragon, he was happy because he thought of a riddle that was a dwarf riddle in his dwarven hometown, the countryside called "Shire", where the old man teased the child, so he had to translate it.
"What can cry without a mouth, fly without wings, bite without teeth, ......murmur without a throat," Reekton looked at Xia Yi and said proudly, "This is a riddle that my grandmother taught me, can you guess the answer to its riddle?" ”
The riddle of the dwarves? The first question was a dilemma for Shailly, as she paced in place, her eyes glancing around, and many things flashed through her mind, none of which could fit perfectly.
Recton was victorious, urging the dragon, "Mr. Camuras, I suppose you should make a rule that you should not think more than a minute about every question, or else she won't be able to answer the question that we will wait for her for days and nights?" ”
The Frost Dragon glanced at the dwarf, and though it had no eyes, it was full of contempt.
"You're right, the dragon has a time limit of ten heartbeats." "But dwarf, are you proud of a vaguely illustrated riddle?" ”
"Don't dare, Lord Kamuras." Renekton obediently lowered his head, he was counting the time.
The dragon's heart beats slowly, about a minute out of ten beats.
Xia Yi's eyes lit up, snapped his fingers, and said, "Wind, the answer is wind!" ”
The frost dragon cracked its mouth, revealing its teeth, white as ivory, but sharper than a shark, and it was supposed to be smiling, looking more like a grin.
Xia Yi noticed very carefully that one of the Frost Dragon's thin teeth had fallen out, and Xia Yi didn't think too much about it, maybe he lost a tooth in the fight.
"Mr. Dragon, allow me to digress, um...... Just a suggestion. Can you turn into a humanoid form? It is rumored that in dragon magic, there is a high-level transfiguration technique that can transform into a human form? Looking up at a dragon answering a question makes me nervous. ”
Shay was stalling because she hadn't thought of stumping the dwarves at all.
Compared to Xia Yi's ease, Renekton's face was about to be pulled under his crotch, and it was his turn to answer the question, and if he was a little negligent, he didn't know what the dragon would do with the loser.
"Miss Human, stop saying anything irrelevant!"
The Frost Dragon didn't answer immediately, and after a while, he said, "You still know the magic of the Dragon Language?" I can't use dragon magic anymore. ”
A haughty dragon, calmly admitting that Shay couldn't tell whether it was worthy of admiration or pity. Dragon magic is an ancient inheritance power that only dragons can learn.
"Little girl, have you decided to abstain? Don't delay Lord Kamulas! Renekton urged, his palms sweating, and he said that it was fake not to worry.
Xia Yi smiled, revealing two rows of thin teeth like glaciers, she had already thought of a question.
Xia Yi coughed lightly and said: "My question is this, ancient alchemists often have complex numbers to calculate, this is a simple question I saw in the materials: Suppose, there is a row of dragon caves, the first cave is inhabited by one dragon, the second lair is inhabited by two dragons, and so on, each lair is inhabited by one more dragon than the previous one, until the end of a thousand nests, then, how many dragons are there in this row of caves?" ”
Xia Yi blushed slightly, with her failing math, thinking of this elementary school math problem, she was really ashamed of the ancestors!
However, the dwarven leader and the frost dragon were completely dumbfounded!
