Transaction refers to the exchange of value between two parties through the medium of money and services.

Although many people claim that their transactions are fair, even win-win, in fact, since the invention of trading, there has never been a so-called "fairness" and "win-win".

On the contrary, it is always the predation of the strong against the weak.

If a transaction appears to have a very large number of benefits for both parties, then it must be seriously detrimental to the interests of third parties.

As many philosophers have mentioned, the nature of the world is competition, plunder, and deception, although human beings have always tried to deceive themselves, believing that light and hope are always with us, even in the darkest moments.

However, it is ironic that most people who believe in the good light of the world often end up not very well, but those who believe in the dark nature of the world are more likely to survive in cruel conditions and gain more wealth and power.

As a person who firmly believes that the world is dark in nature, Zhang Cheng does not feel at all that it is a wise choice to make a deal with a dragon whose power is far greater than his own, especially if he has not yet figured out the situation.

Because he didn't understand why the other party continued to choose to stay and sleep in this invisible underground since he had that energy crystal that was enough to sustain his life, why didn't he choose to rush out and fly freely above the blue sky.

Obviously, either the dragon has some ulterior plan, or it is imprisoned underground by some force and cannot leave.

Most importantly, Zhang Cheng was very eager to know where the original dragon in front of him came from, and where did the magical knowledge and power it provided to the Valyrians come from?

After all, according to the normal process of the evolution and development of life, a world like the Song of Ice and Fire, which does not produce mysterious energy itself, would not have been able to survive without the intervention of powerful external forces.

Therefore, the dragons of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire are either alien species or created by some powerful magical civilization that has been wiped out in history......

"Why don't you speak? Don't you want to make a deal with me, don't you want to get the handsome face and great power of the Valyrians?" Seeing Zhang Cheng standing still for a long time, the dragon lowered his huge head and whispered temptation.

It may look so hideous and terrifying on the outside, but its magma-like eyes reveal a light of wisdom and cunning.

"I'm willing to make a deal with you!" Eric snapped a few steps forward, cocking his head and shouting at the dragon.

"You?" the dragon glanced at him contemptuously, a look of disdain on his face. "Stupid human, do you think anyone is qualified to make a deal with me? I didn't just burn you directly, it's already a reward for your courage, now get out of the way. ”

With extreme anger and unwillingness, Eric took several deep breaths in a row, and finally obediently retreated to the corner.

He knew very well that he had no room for bargaining, and that there was no way he could take any revenge on a dragon as huge as a mountain, and that it would be better to kill himself than to do so.

Zhang Cheng, who was standing silently not far away, saw everything that had just happened, and suddenly asked: "The Valyrians say that you are the first dragon in the world, so I want to know where you came from?

"Oh, you're interested in my origins?" the dragon curled the corners of his mouth, a hint of playfulness.

"Of course! I'm not only interested in where you came from, but also in the magic you have taught the Valyrians. I think it's worth knowing a little bit about your great and glorious past before making a deal, isn't it?" Zhang Cheng pretended to bow humbly.

"Hahaha! Interesting! You are so funny! You know? For thousands of years, there have been countless people who have longed for power and wealth from me, but you are the first and only one who wants to know where I came from. I have to say, you have managed to arouse my curiosity, can you tell me, what motivates you to want to know where I came from?"

The dragon's deafening laughter echoed through the empty underground, and the bubbling magma seemed to be suddenly manipulated by an unknown force, and began to erupt violently, all of which were blinding red as far as the eye could see.

But what is amazing is that not a drop of such a strong eruption splashed on the two people who were close by.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is just a coincidence, a kind of luck, but in Zhang Cheng's eyes, it is a manifestation of precise control of mysterious energy, to be exact, fire element energy.

There is no doubt that Klonada possesses an unusually powerful magical ability, in addition to the intelligence and language abilities that its descendants do not possess.

As for what exactly this ability is, it remains to be seen......

Resisting the questions that popped up in his mind one after another, Zhang Cheng responded with a calm smile: "My motive is very simple, that is, to acquire everything that can enhance my strength and knowledge. However, I am a suspicious and conceited person, so when I gain knowledge and power, I want to understand the essence of it, such as potential flaws and dangers. ”

The dragon nodded its huge head slightly, "Okay, I think I understand." You may not believe that I was not born into this world, nor is it the crimson comet in the sky that you are referring to. In fact, I come from a completely foreign place, and that crimson comet is where all the dragons in my world lay their eggs. ”

"Spawning?!...... you mean" Zhang Cheng's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had found something unusual.

"Yes, you guessed it, right? The red comet itself is made up of completely pure energy lenses, and even the radiation that normally emits outwards is enough to affect an entire world. In our understanding, it is a base for the breeding of powerful offspring, and whenever it passes through my world, the pregnant dragon will fly up to lay its own eggs, and wait until it flies back again to take the eggs and hatch them. Only the hatchlings hatched in this way are not smart and strong enough......"

As she spoke, Klonada seemed to fall into some kind of memory, constantly spinning around on the hot lava.

That's why, the dragons hatched in this world are like beasts, and they don't have any magical abilities. They didn't absorb enough energy at all when they were still eggs, so each one of them was like a retarded or imbecile among humans, right?" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said what he was guessing in his heart.

He finally understood why Kulo Kerba was far more intelligent, able to understand and execute complex commands than the three dragons that Daenerys had hatched.

It's not just the magical transformation, but the bottle of well water rich in arcane energy makes up for some of the lack of energy intake......
