Chapter 1268: A New Identity (7)

"Hollywood doesn't use makeup to make extraterrestrial movies," Leo said, "and I've been paying attention to this place for a long time, but this trade model hasn't caught the attention or interest of the dragons." ”

I did see the difference: "There is no currency here, it's all barter, and it's too primitive, it is estimated that the upper dragon clan will still use currency, or just use magic crystals or something." ”

"That's also a simple imitation of the civilization of the main plane." "Unless the bigger cities, or their holy cities, have a complete commercial system, after all, this is the countryside at best, like your hometown of Ville." ”

"Then a caravan has to come." I say.

I didn't stay in the business district for too long, firstly, because there was not much value for observation here, and secondly, the dragon cultists who came and went saw that I was submissive, and the weak race like the nezumi almost knelt down, and I was not very comfortable.

Before leaving, I asked Nidhogg, "What do you think?" ”

Nidhogg couldn't guess the meaning of what I had brought him in, and guessed carefully, "Are you reminding me that we are as weak as them in the face of more powerful dragons?" ”

"Sort of." Noncommittal, I took him and left.

When we got out of town, no one dared to stop us, so we went straight to the old place, and Nidhogg volunteered to hunt, and I slowly lit the fire and prepared the spices.

Not long after, Nidhogg brought back two deer, and we roasted and ate and talked.

"Have you thought about your life, do you still have a goal?" I asked.

"Talking about life ideals?" Leo smiled.

Nidhogg said seriously: "The dragons are too powerful, they don't even need too much intelligence, and we have intelligence, we have to try to become stronger, to combine wisdom and strength, this is my goal." ”

It's not very noble, but it's very real.

"So, what do you think of the world?" I didn't comment on his answer, but I asked a deeper question.

Nidhogg was puzzled, and subconsciously looked up at the sky, and then looked in the direction of the city.

"The world, it's big, it's big,......" he pondered the words, "Dragons are the most powerful creatures in the whole world, all creatures are subservient to the dragons' feet, and of course, there are those wild creatures who have no intelligence, they are just food and slaves that the dragons are too lazy to conquer, and those invaders from the small world who pass through the rifts are more difficult to deal with, but they will never succeed." ”

You can see that he is mobilizing all his knowledge. It is rare to be able to generalize to such a degree, just like an ancient person on the earth who has traveled to the modern era and can describe the whole world as reasonably as possible with his simple and simple worldview, which is quite organized.

As he spoke, his voice lowered.

"I said, is there a problem?" Nidhogg simply stopped and asked me.

"No," I shook my head, "but if you grow wings and take to the skies, your view of the world will change." ”

Nidhogg's eyes lit up: "You, will you help me evolve?" ”

"I'll give you a chance, and it's up to you whether you succeed or not, but that's not what I'm going to say." I say.

When it came to opportunities, he looked expectant, but he immediately realized the problem of the probability of success, and he was a little gloomy, and he didn't notice the words behind him.

"I knew before I came, you drank the blood of Chief Wurm, but that was too ......risky," he said, "I've seen a lot of bastards who thought they were clever do this, and they're dead." ”

"Don't you want to know how I got there?" I whetted his appetite.

"Do you have a way?" He suddenly became excited again, "Your wisdom really impresses me!" ”

"And you?" I said, "What I'm going to teach you is not strength, but wisdom, and you just ignored my words." ”

Nidhogg froze for a moment, as if recalling what I had just said.

"You say, what you want to see me is not strength, but wisdom, but this is not the most important ......" he looked down to himself, and then looked up at me and asked, "What is the most important thing?" ”

I smiled and said, "I want to grow wings to see the world, but even if you fly into the sky, you can see the wider world, do you really understand the world?" ”

Nidhogg shook his head dryly: "My wisdom is not enough...... I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Well," I said, "the reason why I ask you what you think of the world is to tell you that wisdom determines how you see the world, how you understand yourself and everything around you, and only in this way can you understand the truth of the world, and truth is the source of everything." ”

He was a little dizzy when he said this, and looked at me in a daze.

I continued: "Wisdom, knowledge, is the code to understand the world, if you can read it, you can understand the whole world, understand the world, what dragons, what beasts, what spatial rifts, are just reasonable things, there is no good or bad, power and power, bloodline and evolution, and it is only a bonus to master more knowledge, just like you came out with the goal of hunting a wild boar, but you picked up a mushroom ......"

"You'll grow up after eating!" Leo said with a smile.

"You ate the mushroom, you magically evolved, and then you easily caught the wild boar." I'm done.

"Well, you mean, you managed to evolve because you ate a mushroom?" It dawned on him.

"Stupid!" I was so angry that I dropped the remaining stick bone in my hand on his head.

Nidhogg was startled and cried out in horror: "I was wrong! Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please don't punish me......"

I threw away the stick bones and sighed: "It seems that your wisdom is still difficult to understand, I didn't eat mushrooms at all!" ”

"At most, he is the slightly smarter one of the monkeys, and you have to give him a metaphorical rhetoric, it's strange that he can understand it." Leo smiled.

Nidhogg's face was aggrieved: "It seems that my wisdom is too low. ”

I said, "I thought you were very smart, and it seems that I expected too much from you, but for now, you are the only one worth my trouble, and I will give you a little more chance." ”

"I will always be loyal to you!" Nidhogg suddenly swore solemnly.

I didn't say anything, but took out the wurm blood in a piece of Oyd petals.

This drop of blood was collected and stored by me before, in fact, there are hundreds of milliliters in total, this drop, is just an experiment.

Nidhogg's eyes widened.

"I know that if you drink too much dragon blood, you will fail to evolve," I said, "and I ask you, what would happen if those dragon cultists were desperately watering an Oyd flower?" ”

"Oyd flowers?" Nidhogg thought for a moment and said, "Will you die?" ”

"Again," I said, "what happens if you put the food that a wurm eats in a meal and puts it in the mouth of a dragon believer?" ”

"Nezumi's belly will burst......" Nidhogg finally understood.

"So," I said, "what would you do if I gave you this drop of wurm blood?" ”

Nidhogg's face was horrified: "I will, be blown up by energy!" ”

"So," I said, "what would you do if I gave it to you?" ”

He obviously wanted to get this drop of dragon blood, but he couldn't get my affirmation, and if I wanted him to affirm him, I had to give the right answer.

"It's like, the dragon cultist watered the Oyd sapling......" he squinted his eyes and thought hard, "I, I'm going to be like the Oyd flower, sucking only a little bit at a time......"

I said, "A drop of dragon blood is so big, you can drink it all if you're not careful." ”

He thought about it again and again, but he didn't think about it for a long time, it seemed that the little cleverness was spent on how to survive and cope, so I put the petals on a stone pier next to me and continued to eat barbecue.

After a long time, he finally got the answer.

"I see!" He was a little excited, "I, I just put the wurm blood in the water, it will become scattered, I only need to drink a small bit, and it won't be burst!" ”

"Well, it's hard to improve this IQ......" Leo sighed.

"Just take your time." I said, and then I asked Nidhogg, "How did you come up with that?" ”

Nidhogg said, "You just showed me the lives of those dragon cultists, and I remembered that they would sprinkle ground salt powder into the broth, salt is a very bitter thing, and melting in the soup will increase the deliciousness of the meat. ”

"Very well," I said, "I thought you could understand when you saw the Dragons pouring Oyd, but I thought so far, but the truth is right, it's called dilution." ”

"Dilute ......," Nidhogg muttered, "I see, anything like this can dilute ......"

I shook my head: "It's not that simple, if it's the blood of the dragon general, the dragon king, or even the dragon emperor, no matter how much you dilute it, I'm afraid it's useless." ”

"Then it would take a higher intelligence to dilute ......," Nidhogg said.

"So to speak," I nodded, "in the future, when you have enough wisdom and look back at your present self, you will feel how stupid you are, and the cultivation of wisdom far exceeds the evolution of the dragons." ”

Nidhogg looked over into the city again.

I said: "There is only one dragon general in the city, Oron, who is strong, and not far away, there is another city, but unfortunately, with our strength, we were killed by the demonic beasts on the road before we arrived, and further away, there are more cities, there are dragon generals stationed, and in the distance, where the airship departs, is the holy city of the dragon clan, where there is the dragon king, and the most powerful dragon emperor." ”

Nidhogg looked up sharply and looked higher in the sky, but unfortunately, there were no dragon airships in the sky.

Actually, airships are often haunted, but they have never been to our side, and apparently this side is not that important.
