Chapter 366: Dragons and Premeditation
What is the difference between riding a dragon and riding a horse-drawn carriage?
Perhaps, some people will answer that I am very majestic in riding a dragon, it is very common to make a car, and riding a dragon is very fast, and the carriage is very slow, or that riding a dragon requires strength, and the carriage only needs funds above the level is enough, but if you want me to talk about it......
"Don't talk nonsense like it looks like the wind is pulling, the carriage is much more comfortable than riding a dragon, and it's flying in the sky without a cover, so I didn't think about what to do when I encountered a storm!"
There were endless dark clouds in front of us, and Xiaohong and I were drenched in rain under the clouds, or, let's say, sleet and hail.
The sky above the new year was not very warm, and the low temperature made the rain turn into Xiaoice lumps and hit my head with a crackling sound...... I've put on my full armor.
And not far away, the blue dragon soared among the clouds a little higher, and their favorite weather in the thunder and lightning system was this, and the abundant electricity would give them the most comfortable massage and energy replenishment in their bodies, and he couldn't help but let out a moan like a horse killing a chicken. Recite...... But judging from the dragon knight who has hair upside down and half of his body is blackened, this encounter is worse than mine, and it seems that there is still a big difference between a half-blood dragon and a true dragon.
Dragons are strange creatures that emphasize dignity, they are proud enough to be called arrogant, and the contractors who are willing to become dragon knights are often young dragons, and old dragons with a little seniority and history will not want to be someone else's mount...... Don't talk about the professional mount who is now hiding back in Ciro, it's obviously a special case within a special case, such an unruly dragon, I've seen him for so many years...... Looks like Moriel could be added recently.
Ahem, normal dragons will reject dragon knights, that's it. It makes no difference whether the relationship is good or not. After all, you don't have a good relationship with a certain friend. He wants you to lie down and let him ride for decades, and it is estimated that the best result is that the two sides will fight fiercely, and from then on they will go their separate ways.
As for the knight novels, if you give some barbecue, glass, etc., you can be successfully abducted, if it is not that the dragon is mentally retarded, it is probably an excuse after the real plot is concealed, such as the temptation of Xiaolongnu or Ji Knight...... Ahem, it seems to be far away.
There is a big gap between the real dragon knight and the legendary story, and it is probably the plot like this: a strong man poisoned by a knight novel caught a small dragon. Beat to death, and if you win, you will force the other party to sign a subordinate contract or something.
And the dragon clan is a group of particularly proud creatures, if it is not for the crushing of the general gap, they would rather die than give in, and then finally become a strong dragon knight was surprised to find that the dragon that can be handled by himself is far weaker than himself, this mount has basically no effect, so hard to get a means of transportation, maybe it will be chased by the dragon and his father, is it a little worthless.
If the dragon knight can wait for three or five hundred years, maybe the young dragon can become an adult dragon, but if a strong person can live for three or four hundred years, what is the role of an ordinary adult dragon who is just a quasi-legendary combat power.
The conclusion is that don't look at the dragon knight looks imposing. But in fact, unless it is the protagonist template inexplicably admitting the master, I am afraid it is synonymous with chicken ribs.
Let's look at it now. The largest dragon knight legion in this plane is in Baier, and the knights are all half-blooded dragons, it should still be a brother and sister relationship, and it may not be anything if they sign a soul contract or a subordinate contract, and the two sides should be similar to a playmate.
"Saying all this, just to prove that this treatment is extremely normal? She made it clear that she was tossing you, whether you were shaking M or really getting your head into the water, and you were completely hopeless. β
The ridicule of the dead cat left me speechless, but looking back on the past, such treatment was really rare.
Although Xiaohong's self-esteem as an ancient red dragon is also extremely strong, it is still good for us old friends, and occasionally she will take us to fly two at critical moments, such as the last time she rushed back to Sulfur Mountain City to face the demons, she was accommodating and arrived in time.
And this time, to follow the dragon riding Grand Duke to the royal capital of Baier, his mount is the fastest blue dragon of the dragon clan, Erin Bella basically has no possibility of keeping up, and this matter involves the dragon clan, as the underground dragon queen Xiaohong is also planning to contact with the surface dragon city, so I am ready to come together, so, I am very normal to ask for a ride, of course, I understand the dragon clan better, so it is enough to just grab the fly.
Molill in the same class? No matter how you say it, it's Xiaohong's mother, doesn't this mean asking her, "Is it okay to ride your mother?" ββ¦β¦ It seems that there is something wrong there, but it is the same as what I asked Xiaohong before, "Let me ride you, okay?" β
Ahem, the association of the zombies was thrown aside, back to business, this time Xiaohong was unexpectedly easy to speak, saying, "They are all good sisters, what are you doing outside, ride directly on your back", although I feel that something is wrong, but it is also very uncomfortable to be caught and swaying all the way in a trance, I also gladly accepted it, but the result ......
"If it's a little dragon that can't fly, forget it, the ancient red dragon can obviously fly on the clouds, why do you have to suffer from ice and rain, obviously you said that the fire dragon should be more uncomfortable than me."
ββ¦β¦ Less verbose, the old lady is happy, do you want not to suffer from the rain? Okay, I have a spot here. β
Xiaohong maliciously grew a dragon's mouth, which was full of sharp dragon teeth, and spit out dragon inflammation, considering the possibility of being swallowed "accidentally", I swallowed my saliva, but resolutely refused this mention.
"No, I think it's better to sober up with some rain."
ββ¦β¦ You do need to be sober. β
Although I don't know why she is angry, it seems that everyone around me said that I was wrong, and according to the past practice, it is indeed a good chance that I am wrong, so let's bear with it a little, well, it's definitely not that I'm worried that she will throw me down and temporarily succumb.
Ahem, anyway, I have a thick armor and high ice resistance, and the damage of ice and rain can be completely ignored, but my feet are a little cold, and I am a little hungry, I remember that I should have filled my backpack when I came, so I took action and took out a picnic cloth......
ββ¦β¦ Roland, if you make a fire on my back to roast my feet and meat, I will let me stay in the grand seat in front of me. β
So, I was silent for a moment and changed my approach.
"Grilled sausages and warm wine don't do either! I'm working hard in the rain, and you're actually drinking on my back! Do you know how much I endure this rain and snow as a red dragon? β
Then you're going to fly high...... I don't say anything like that, because of my years of experience. If the woman is angry. The more you say, the more you get wrong. It's better to keep silent.
"It's warm, and half of your ......"
"That's not the reason, hey, it's your own fruit wine, where did you get such good peaches...... I want two-thirds! β
Okay, so under the effect of the wine, Xiaohong didn't suddenly fly upside down and spin in the next time, and I didn't need to tie myself to the dragon's back, so. I took three barrels and lit a fire to grill them...... There's no way, in fact, this bucket is only enough for half a mouthful of Xiaohong.
After drinking, Xiaohong sighed unexpectedly, and then suddenly rose, and she spread her wings and flew straight into the sky.
Looking at the various shapes of the surrounding clouds, it is like a fairyland, and the warm sunlight is much more comfortable, and of course the most enjoyable. But above the clouds, there is finally no need to be drenched in the rain.
"Forget it, fighting with you will only make me uncomfortable. I knew for a long time that there was no point in getting angry with a guy like you. β
ββ¦β¦ Hey, hey, I'm helping you anyway, can't you be a little polite? Am I as unbearable as you say, am I as angry as you say. β
"Yes."
Xiaohong's answer was categorical.
"Yes."
The dead cat interjected again.
γYes!γ γ
The system is angry and brushes in the zΓ i sense.
For me, Xiaohong and Moriel's peers are both troubles and opportunities.
She is the dragon queen of the dungeon, just this identity, it determines that when Xiaohong appears in front of other dragons, and even enters the dragon gathering place on the ground, it will determine whether the red dragon and the black dragon can be recognized by other dragons.
Obviously, Xiaohong's governing style and Moriel's governing style are completely different, and even if Moriel wanted to return to the ground, Xiaohong would at least try to see if she could reach a settlement.
The specific time when the two powerful color dragons were banished to the underworld is no longer reliable, and it is completely unknown whether there are any dragons left in question back then, and even the specific reason for the banishment and the time limit of the banishment are not known now, the only thing that can be confirmed is that both dragons are the oldest inhabitants of the underworld, and they went much earlier than the dark elves and rose.
The dragon clan can inherit the knowledge of the previous generation in the dragon egg, so the red dragon and the black dragon are not good birds (secretly glanced at Xiaohong), since they were collectively banished, most of the time there was a lot of trouble, but in my personal opinion, any law and punishment should not affect future generations, the parties of the year are gone, and now the descendants of the red dragon and black dragon want to return to the ground, it makes sense from a logical point of view.
ββ¦β¦ Dragons are not dragons if they are reasonable. β
That's what Xiaohong said when I brought it up, and leaving aside the declaration for the time being, it seemed that she had hit her own map cannon, and because she said it was so reasonable, and even vaguely proud, I was speechless.
The more ancient the race, the more they like to emphasize the glory of the past, and the same thing is that they put the set of things of their ancestors on the altar, and the old stubbornness that says "the law of the ancestors is immutable" every day is definitely not limited to humans and elves.
"Since there are customs and conventions in the past, since everyone lived like this in the past, why change?"
It is foreseeable that our trip will definitely not go smoothly, but if we don't try, Xiaohong will not be reconciled, and I will not be reconciled, after all, now is a golden opportunity.
Is the timing good? Of course, it's good, one of the three major gathering places of the dragon clan is threatened, the mortal enemy Titan is about to be resurrected, and the holy war is coming, and this holy war will inevitably pull the dragon clan who maintained a transcendent posture in the past, and the entire race will suffer a crisis, and it will not take advantage of the fire to rob it...... Ahem, wouldn't it be a waste of this rare opportunity if you don't send charcoal in the snow?
During the crisis, the bottom limit of people will naturally decrease, and the same is true for the dragon clan, plus the two colored dragons themselves can help other dragon clans, which is also a powerful bargaining chip.
Although it is a bit despicable, the confrontation between the state and the nation has always been done in every possible way, and since it is the best choice with the highest success rate, what reason do we have not to use.
And as long as we have the approval of the dragon clan, or even just acquiescence, the black dragons and red dragons of the underground world can appear in the sky of the main plane on a large scale, and we can also increase a lot of instant combat power.
And once the great feats that have not been completed by the dragon queen and the dragon king in the past dynasties, Xiaohong's position will be more stable. There will even be other Elder Dragons trying to return to the surface. Take the initiative to work for it.
Of course. Considering the consistent habits of these two dragon clans, I am also hesitating whether I am opening the door to steal, but when I think that if I can't survive the catastrophe in front of me, there will be no "future", I think I can still try, after all, with the dragon queen Xiaohong watching, there should be no big mess in a short time.
As soon as I thought of the chaos, I looked at the slowly flying Moriel in front of me with displeasure. Recently, she has no expectations and pursuits anyway, but she is very leisurely every day.
"I'm really going to get in trouble."
As soon as Moriel returned to the ground, she showed very well that an ancient red dragon would do that if she was evil, attacking villages, kidnapping for ransom, being a war mercenary, and even robbing other dragons, she was simply the perfect villain, or she would not have been on the scourge list so quickly, and her identity as a former dragon queen. It also made the surface residents' perception of the underground dragon decline at a high speed.
"Sure enough, it's the same as written."
ββ¦β¦ Luckily, most of the black and red dragons are still in the Underworld. β
Every time she heard such words, Xiaohong's teeth itched with anger. Such a concept naturally deepened the difficulty of our trip.
"Do your best to secure your destiny."
When I evaluated the success rate of this trip and thought that the success rate was even less than 30%, Xiaohong looked at it very well.
"That's all, why do I think the biggest trouble on this trip is not this thing, as if there is some trouble waiting for me. Am I forgetting something? Or am I having something that I haven't noticed. β
"You're not paying attention much!"
Well, it seems that I accidentally touched something again, and the complaint came again.
And finally the complaint stopped, and our speed was much faster, but it was probably not a matter of time and a half to catch up with Helent and his blue dragon mount in front, in fact, if it hadn't waited for us, I am afraid that this speed could have doubled.
ββ¦β¦ That little guy flies so fast. β
"Anyway, that little guy is at least 200 years old, he's a little guy, what am I, and a little guy? Can't it be faster? β
"It's about the top speed, and if it's too slow, you can fly on your own."
The speed of the blue dragon is so fast? In fact, Xiaohong and Moriel are too slow, and the blue dragon is probably more than three percent faster than other dragons, and this is mainly a bonus to its ability to control the wind, and the dragon of Hai Lunte has just reached adulthood and is also at the peak of speed, so it is naturally much faster than us.
Elder Dragons should fly faster than normal adult dragons? This is also what most people think, but they don't think much about it, the big guy may not be fast, and the super dragon that is seven or eight times the size of an adult dragon can fly and consume more than seven or eight times that of a small dragon.
And since they are called ancient dragons, most of them are over a thousand years old, most of the time is spent sleeping lazily or studying spells, and even hunting is done by their own subordinates, and their physical fitness is much worse than when they were young, coupled with the pressure of their huge size on their internal organs, they even seem lazy in the rhythm of flapping their wings.
Of course, since the dragon clan is a race that is born with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, in battle, most dragons will choose to use magic and natural abilities to speed up themselves, so in a short period of time on the battlefield, the speed of strong dragons will not be slow, but if it is a long-distance rush, it is too luxurious to use natural abilities to accelerate, and the result is that adult dragons and prime-aged dragons are the fastest.
And the size of the dragon clan will basically not grow until the late stage of the ancient dragon, to the point where magic and natural ability are far more important than hand-to-hand combat, even the stupidest white dragon is already the top master of a certain kind of magic, and their unique dragon language spells and special spells are even more powerful.
As far as I know, in addition to being one of the few ancient dragons who insist on daily exercise, Xiaohong has a strong hand-to-hand combat ability, and his attainments in mantra magic, fire magic, and space magic are not low.
This is obviously a great thing for our next actions, after all, although we were asked to help, but considering those extra tasks and the arrogant habits of the big lizard, it is estimated that it is inevitable to do it.
"Hopefully this trip will go smoothly, although I always feel like I'm going to be in big trouble. My bad premonition has always been very smart, for example, when I go out, I say I want to bring an umbrella, but you just say no. Look, isn't it raining, and I look at the weather, maybe there will be a typhoon again......"
"Crow's mouth, shut up!"
Well, looking at the tornado not far away, I obediently shut up. (To be continued......)
