692 The Melancholy of Emmones 4
Oh no, that's a bit absolute. In fact, in the process of Gordon's conversation with the white dragon, spells still play a very key role. Aziz lent Gordon an interesting magic item called "Yusuf's Tongue".
This item is said to come from Yousuf, the most famous merchant in the desert continent, and can allow the person who holds it to be able to speak well and convince everyone. It is said that it was because of this prop that Yu Sufu was able to win many battles in business negotiations, and finally amassed a large amount of wealth and became the most successful merchant in the Southern Continent.
Ordinary people may see the "Yusuf's Clever Tongue" item as mysterious and powerful, full of legends, but after Gordon got this item from Aziz, he immediately saw that it was just some mental spell that increased the influence of the user's words on others.
In fact, in the game, there are many items such as "Yusuf's Clever Tongue", which can improve the player's skills such as "threat", "bluff", "negotiation", "valuation", etc. For task-streaming players who don't like to use violence to solve problems, like puzzle-solving and socializing, as well as game profiteers who buy low and sell high, and earn gold with their three-inch tongue, there will always be a set of such equipment.
Of course, the effect of those equipment is far less powerful than the effect of the legendary-level item "Yusuf's Clever Tongue".
It was also surprising that Aziz was able to come up with such a rare prop that could play a huge role on special occasions and lend it to Gordon. With the help of this prop, Gordon knew that he was going to fool the white dragon Emmonris with his mouth cannon, and it would be more smooth.
Before a series of preparations. Gordon adopted a two-pronged approach of both civil and military advances. The traps used in battle did a big job, though. However, he was still unable to kill Emmones and snatch the Mystery Gem. So now I can only use the route of walking around the mouth.
He uses the spell of Legends of Knowledge. The past of this white dragon is fully understood. This guy was also originally a member of the legion of the Red Dragon Titanis, and participated in the battle against Seanzu from the beginning. However, compared to the other powerful and ferocious true dragons under the command of the primeval red dragon Titanis, Emmones is obviously not qualified.
He is the weakest of the five-colored dragons and has the lowest IQ, and he is inherently inferior to the best dragons like the black dragon and the red dragon. And Emmonris is not only inferior to other types of dragons, but even among the white dragons, they belong to the weaker category.
The Titanis was the real powerhouse of the five-colored dragon side in the Akhorhia Civil War that year, and it was also the object of the longing of many dragons. Emmones also joined his legion because he longed for the strength of the Titanis. It's just that this white dragon is a marginal role in the legion, let alone entering the most elite and powerful guard regiment. I have never even stepped into the frontal battlefield, and I have always been doing the work of escorting logistics supply teams. Every now and then, I have to be sent to do chores or something.
The huge gap between reality and ideals, coupled with the ridicule and ridicule of other dragons, made the originally enthusiastic Emmones gradually unbalanced and resentful, and secretly vowed to become the greatest and most evil dragon in history, so that the Titanis would also bow under his wings, and let Tiamat praise his exploits.
While the battle of Seanzu was in full swing. Emmones Rees was given a crucial task. He is to lead a team of twelve Dragonborn warriors to infiltrate the Tower of Eternity, located in the heart of Serianzu, to destroy it and cut off the city's water supply. Hit the morale of the defenders of the city.
For Emmonris, who has been excluded and looked down upon, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity to prove himself. So the white dragon was full of confidence. I took on this task with great enthusiasm and took action immediately.
So this guy's brain is a bit stupid. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. If the task of destroying the Tower of Eternity was so important, how could he be sent to carry out such an inexperienced and unpowerful fellow? He was just deliberately sent out to die. Distract the defenders in order to carry out the Titanis' true plan as cannon fodder.
However, since the wild lily also has spring, this stupid and weak white dragon also has its own lucky day.
By various coincidences, Emmones led a group of cannon fodder to infiltrate the heavily guarded Tower of Eternity, and sabotaged a magical reality that was at its most critical moment.
The biggest victim is, of course, the original owner of the arcane gem "Grey Frost", Master Andrei. After a series of raids, chaos, battles, explosions, and deaths, the arcane gem's energy spiraled out of control and spread rapidly, freezing the entire city into a large ice cellar. And under the influence of the Mystery Jewel, Emmones and AndrΓ© became what Gordon and his party saw today.
What happened in the Tower of Eternity completely changed the fate of Emmonris, but it did not have much impact on the entire battle situation of Seanzu. After all, no matter whether the climate is hot in summer or cold in winter, war always goes on.
Since then, Emmones has been trapped in the Tower of Eternity for more than a hundred years. Because the power of the Arcane Gem blocked this tower from the outside world, the Red Dragon Titanis, launched a general attack, and used the Ancient Orb to bring the entire city into another dimension, and he could only witness the occurrence of a qiΔ as a bystander.
The white dragon, who has lost his flesh and blood and transformed into an unstable undead and energy hybrid form, gradually distorts and distorts his mind in this lonely and isolated environment. Because he was jealous and envious of the Red Dragon Titanis, and was extremely eager to do something evil, Emmones became what Gordon sees today, calling himself the "Great Dragon" all day long, and he is particularly obsessed with the absurd stories made up by Ainia.
Hearing Emmonris mention the Red Dragon Titanis, Gordon said, "White Dragon, the Titanis did use a powerful treasure in the final decisive battle with the Golden Dragon Loloados. But even if he doesn't use 'Miphagne. 'Ottton' is still a powerful and evil primeval red dragon, and is still the object of awe of countless five-colored dragons. And you. Without the Mystery Gem, I am afraid that it is impossible to even live. How can it be compared to the Titanis? β
"Shut up! Shut up! Emmones roared.
Gordon's words had clearly poked the white dragon in the sore spot, so much so that he had to refute the mage's words with such a violent reaction.
After the roar. It's a long silence. The white dragon was like an old yellow dog exposed to the sun, lying on the ground without saying a word. Seeing this scene, Gordon knew that the heat was almost over, so he spoke: "White Dragon, in fact, you don't have to be too discouraged. At least nearly 10,000 years have passed since the era of Akhorhia, and the mighty Titanis is long gone, and only the illusion of constant reincarnation indicates the existence of the Red Dragon and his legions. And you, however, are still alive. So you still have a chance to become a real dragon and surpass the Titanis. When the people of the world heard the name of Emmonris, they trembled with fear. β
Gordon's words were like a bad uncle coaxing a child. But Emmones was convinced. His eyes lit up with a dazzling light, and he craned his dragon neck and asked, "Master, are you telling the truth?" β
"Of course. There are not many beings in this world who can live for nearly 10,000 years. This is your unique advantage. β
What he said was nothing more than a fool of the pie that Emmonrys had painted. However, Aemonris, who is not quite in his right mind and is bent on becoming the number one evil dragon in history, is convinced. White Dragon's self-confidence that had just been shattered by Gordon. It was as if it had come back in a breath.
"Hmph, you're right. I, Emmones, is unique. Since the Titanis died in that battle and I survived, then I will one day. Be able to surpass that primeval red dragon! β
"But ......," Gordon said.
"But what? Say it, Freeman! You are the most evil mage and must know what it takes to become the greatest dragon. Sue me quickly! Emmones said eagerly.
Now. With a mouth cannon, Gordon's image in Emmonry's heart. He has risen from a small human reptile to a mentor who can guide him to become a great dragon.
The mage knew that the stupid protein dragon had been fooled. So he cleared his throat slowly, and then continued: "If you want to become a great evil dragon that is truly feared by all beings and will go down in history, you must first have the power that truly belongs to you. You can't rely on arcane gems. β
Although he was very reluctant to get along with him for nearly 10,000 years, the mysterious gem that was the greatest guarantee for his survival, but the desire to become a real evil dragon finally prevailed. Emmonris struggled fiercely in his heart, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "Then Mage, how do I get rid of my dependence on the Mystic Gem?" β
A secret smile appeared on the corner of Gordon's lips, and he secretly said in his heart, "Finally hooked", before he said to Emmonris: "I want to ask you, do you really think that you are now in this half-undead and half-energy survival form, is it very good?" Don't you want to return your soul to flesh and blood? β
Emmonris looked at his thin, translucent body with a puzzled expression, and shook his head: "I...... I don't know. I've spent an unknown number of years alone in this state, and I'm used to it. β
"Nope! No! No! Gordon shook his finger and said, "White Dragon, if you want to surpass the Titanis, you must have a firm will, and you can't let the inertia of life drag you into the quagmire!" β
Gordon said to Ammones in a tone selling Amway's products, "You dragons have the most powerful body of any race in the entire multiverse, and they are countless times superior to us humans. Why would you give up such a strong body? Moreover, only with flesh and blood can you do many things that evil dragons can do. β
"What's the matter?"
"Emmonris, don't you love to hear adventure stories? Then you should know that in those stories, the dragon's favorite thing to do was to kidnap the princess and take her back to his lair. Putting aside the knights who are as nasty as flies and scrambling to kill the dragon's den to save the princess, I ask you, do you know why the dragons kidnapped the princess? β
"Why?" Emmonreth showed a puzzled expression, "Is there any reason why the dragon is going to kidnap the princess?" β
"It seems that this white dragon is really stupid in this Tower of Eternity. Does he think that the dragon kidnapping the princess is like a cat eating fish and a dog gnawing bones, it is a natural thing, it is a biological instinct? Gordon thought to himself.
This guy had previously captured Venia and Angeline in his lair. I'm afraid it's just an imitation with an unknown purpose. He only did this after listening to the story of Ainiah's little girl.
I complained in my heart. The mage continued to fool the stupid dragon: "Emmonris, you think that after the dragons have captured the beautiful princess to their home. Just do nothing, and wait for the brave people to save the princess? This kind of thing that is not beneficial and will invite trouble, will the evil dragons with great strength and deep wisdom do it? β
"Of course not!" Emmonres shook his head violently. After a moment of serious consideration, he added, "Hmm...... Yes! After the dragon kidnaps the princess back to the dragon's lair, he trains her to be a slave girl, and asks her to clean her scales and claws for her master every day, and she also tells her master stories! β
It's not just Gordon. Even the others in the cave almost burst out laughing when they heard Ammonris's answer.
After holding back his laughter, Gordon couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration in his heart: the enemy who had made his group unable to start before and tried their best to deal with it was actually such a "simple and simple" guy, which really made people feel mixed tastes......
Gordon could only patiently explain to Emmonris, "Emmonris, your dragon clan has a low fertility rate, so there are males in your clan, whether it is a five-colored dragon or a metal dragon. They tend to actively look for beautiful and excellent females to reproduce. And the princesses of the worldly nations, whether human or elven, are the best of the females. So the main purpose of the dragons kidnapping the princess is to be their wife. Enrich the harem. β
Gordon's words made the girls pout, especially Miss Agelin, who has the status of a real princess.
"I ...... I thought this Ferreton mage was a noble nobleman. Who knew it would be like this...... So ......" Angeline's fair cheeks flushed one after another, and she felt as if she had become one of the princesses who had been taken captive by the dragon as brides.
Gordon didn't know how the other observers were feeling. Anyway, his purpose now is just to try his best to fool Emmonris.
His rhetoric of "the dragon kidnapping the princess" is high-minded. Of course, it's just nonsense. Historically, there have been many cases of dragons kidnapping princesses. But that is by no means Gordon's nonsense "mating and reproduction theory", but there are all kinds of different reasons for it.
Even the dragon kidnapping the princess simply for a lucrative ransom is more common than simply robbing a princess to be a wife.
However, Gordon's words succeeded in deceiving Emmonris, who was not very easy to use and whose knowledge was extremely limited. Seeing that the white dragon kept nodding his head and muttering "reasonable, reasonable", expressing his agreement with his fallacies, Gordon continued: "As far as I know, the women of the Red Dragon Titanis are not only numerous, but also of all races. So Emmonrys, if you want to become a great evil dragon that surpasses the Titanis, then you must first surpass him in terms of the quality and quantity of the harem. And in your present state, ethereal as a mass of gas, without real flesh and blood, how can you do that kind of thing with the females? β
Emmones Reis was completely fooled by Gordon: "That's right. You, the evil mage, gave up on being transformed into a lich and lived a long life so that he could take more beauties captive and then humiliate them...... I remember the first thing you did after you overthrew the kingdom was to trick the beautiful queen and princess into slave girls...... Sure enough, if you want to be a real villain, you can't be without women around you......"
Gordon didn't know how this guy had come up with such a pattern from the story made up by Ainia Hu, but since Emmones was led to the Tao by himself, he only needed to work hard to achieve his goal. The mage said, "White Dragon, since you have realized the necessity of having a true flesh and blood body to become a great evil dragon, then I have a mention. β
"What's the mention of yì?"
"I'll help you regain your true dragon body. And you, give me the Mystery Jewel as a reward. It is powerful, but it is the biggest obstacle to your growth. Only by abandoning your reliance on arcane gems can you have any hope of surpassing the Red Dragon Titanis. β
The name "Titanis" is like a catalyst, which makes the desire in Emmonris's heart continue to increase. After all, the original White Dragon was aiming for this primeval red dragon.
But Emmones wasn't stupid to the end. In the face of Gordon's bewitchment, he did not lose his mind, and immediately presented the Mystery Gem, but said suspiciously: "Mage, how can you ensure that what you say is true? Hmph, you're an evil mage. Evil people, on the other hand, often have nothing to do with the quality of honesty. What if you're just trying to trick me into getting my Mystery Gem? β
"You guessed it, my ultimate goal is to get my hands on your Mystery Gem." Gordon said in his heart.
But he wasn't just a fool. Gordon did have the power to bring Emmonres back to flesh and blood. The white dragon's body is frozen underneath, and as long as it is thawed, it will still remain fresh and alive. As for the technical issues, it's nothing. Cloning and soul transfer are the means of prolonging the lives of the Akkhohia mages. And the arcane knowledge of these, Gordon has already understood clearly from the stone tablets he found before.
