Chapter 23: Dissecting the Eternal Dragon
As a mentor, Solanlian asked him what school of magic he wanted to choose as his major.
Orondo chose "children only make choices, adults want them all"!
The reason why he is so confident, of course, comes mostly from the eye of truth.
After all, even the Eye of Truth says that his energy phase is suitable for almost all schools.
That being the case, what else is there to say?
Let's learn it all. If you can't learn it, if you can learn it, it won't be a revolution.
It's actually that simple.
But in Solan Lian's eyes, even Prince Kael'thas only majored in enhancement and energy molding, and minored in illusion, protection, and summoning. Orondo, who chose this way, is simply ambitious.
But the reason why Solanlian made this judgment, she didn't know that only a small part of the reason came from her own reason, and most of it came from Orondo, who had chosen the path of the mage, and the reason why the arcane smell became better.
Orondo left her Wizard's Tower in reluctance to leave her cousin. Aunt Cousin also wanted him to live in her mage's tower, but he refused.
He's going back to his dorm.
The reason is also very simple - there is a big guy in the dormitory who wants him to go back every day.
So in the afternoon, Orondo went to the library for half a day, read a book for a long time, and the sky was a little dark, so he immediately rushed back to the apprentice's dormitory.
Go back to the apprentice quarters where it was just him and her, and find the spot from last night.
Knock.
The next second.
There was a "squeak" and the door opened automatically.
Operating tables, surgical utensils, all available.
She's in there too.
"Good evening. Excellency. Orondo didn't know what to call each other, so he could only smile and say hello as much as he could.
"This is the subject of tonight's dissection." She didn't respond to his call, and with a flick of her hand, a monster with a gray-black mist fell onto the operating table.
It was a monster the size of a calf, covered in scales, with teeth and claws, a head almost the size of its body, and a pair of disproportionately small wings on its back.
Seeing the way it looked, Orondo's pupils shrank.
"Looks like you know it." There was a playful look on the female mage's proud face, "That's funny. An apprentice actually knew such a strange monster. ”
Of course he knows it, isn't it just a young dragon of an eternal dragon!
Of course he wouldn't admit it in front of her. Otherwise, it would be strange that a mage apprentice who had never been out of the hills of Hillsbrad would actually know this kind of dragon species that even archmages don't necessarily know!
He quickly explained, "I've read books related to dragons in the Dalaran Library. It contains images of the various stages of the dragon's growth. Its appearance is almost the same as that of the giant dragon, but the color is a little strange...... Is this a variant of the dragon? ”
The female mage had a noncommittal look at his explanation. "This is a baby dragon of an Eternal Dragon, an Eternal Dragon is a variant of the Bronze Dragon."
"Do you want me to dissect it?"
"Don't you dare?"
"What don't you dare. To the mage, the dragon is full of treasures. To the mage, the dragon is full of secrets. If it weren't for the fear of provoking the punishment of the dragons, I think all mages would want to study the dragons. ”
The female mage nodded and continued, "Then what are you waiting for? Come and see what the dragon has to offer. ”
What else can Orondo say? Even if he wants to regret it, he regrets why he fired that fireball technique in the backyard in the first place!
This is a big guy who can catch elusive dragon cubs like the Eternal Dragon.
Luckily, she wasn't hostile to herself, otherwise Orondo didn't think she would last a second.
[Host, you are too confident. It only takes one thought for her to destroy you now......]
"Shut up!"
Orondo was annoyed and demanded that the Eye of Truth not be verbose.
But to be honest, he really didn't have any psychological pressure to dissect an Eternal Dragon cub.
Picking up the surgical utensils specially prepared by the female mage, Orondo stood in front of the operating table - it seemed that she had improved the light on the operating table, and the light on the operating table was much brighter today than yesterday, and he didn't need to use the light technique.
Surveying the dragons on the table, apparently under the control of magic, Orondo said, "I haven't read any books about dissecting dragons, and I only know a little about them. ”
She still looked noncommittal.
For some reason, Orondo loved it the way it was. As soon as you pick up the scalpel, you will become very calm.
God knows why this happened, he wasn't a surgeon in his last life.
In a very strange state of mind, Orondo began to deal with the hapless Eternal Dragon cub.
He was ready to cut it off, and it was easier to dissect a dead thing than a living thing. Unfortunately, he hadn't read any books related to dissecting dragons, and the aid of the Eye of Truth didn't work.
So in the end, Orondo stabbed the Eternal Dragon cub three or four times near its head before killing it - in dissection, mages would never take dissecting creatures lightly. Because of the creatures worthy of mage's dissection, their hearts are often the most important organ in the study.
It wouldn't be good if it broke.
The special scalpel easily cuts through the hard-to-break scales of the sword, and under the suppression effect of magic, the corpse of the Eternal Dragon cub will not spurt blood indiscriminately.
Unlike last night's dissection of the demon imp, when he dissected the demon imp, he had already seen the physiological composition of the inferior demon with the same physiological characteristics as the demon imp.
Last night's dissection was more akin to turning knowledge from a textbook into practice.
Tonight's dissection is a real exploration. Not much knowledge, no textbooks, new explorations.
Orondo first explored the claws and teeth of the Eternal Dragon cub.
As a result, he concluded: it is very similar to a crocodile! The young dragon's muscles are more powerful than those used to open its mouth. Its teeth are also similar to those of a crocodile, including canines for tearing and puncture, incisors for cutting flesh, and a set of molars for clamping and grinding.
The only difference from the crocodile is that the mouth of this Eternal Dragon cub can be stretched open in a manner similar to a snake's mouth, stretching to a very large extent.
He would have liked to study its spines, claws, and horns, but it was just a child. There are some claws, spines and horns that haven't started to grow yet.
As the dissection deepened, Orondo began to reach out to the main organs in the dragon's body.
It took a long time for Orondo to open the baby's skull and begin studying its brain.
After observing it, he found that the dragon's brain was very large, both in absolute terms and in proportion to the body.
According to the location of the human brain and the lizard brain, the part of the dragon's brain that is used for memory and reasoning is very significant, so this is why the dragon is very intelligent. In addition, there are parts that may be used to control certain parts of the dragon's unique functions, and Orondo is blind to this aspect.
Fortunately, the female mage's voice intervened at the right time, and she said, "That's the dragon's microlobe, which has synapses that are directly connected to the optic nerve. It is generally believed that it is this micro-lobe that produces the ferocious momentum of the dragon, which is the so-called generator of dragon power. ”
O Master!
Now that she had spoken, Orondo, whose hands were bloody, began to ask some questions.
It was the first time he had discussed this with the mysterious female mage, and the first time he had spoken so much to her.
If the scene was not so bloody, it would have looked quite harmonious......
