Chapter 9: Backtrack Archives 01808-0939

"Well, this huge ....... What's coming. ”

Narrator-kun scratched his head. In the empire, two or three words can represent people's names, and only nobles have long messy names. Most of the soldiers only have numbers, and their names are temporarily erased. So even though two weeks have passed since the first formal conversation, Narrator still can't say the dragon's name in the dragon's tone.

"Marlowe, human, you can call us Marlowe."

A breath of hot air erupted from the dragon's nose, and then, stretching out his front paws, the tip of the claw gently touched the forehead of the narrator with the size of the dragon, showing friendship.

This is not the first time this kind of behavior, the dragon can control his strength very well, the first time he did this, the narrator Jun was so frightened that he ran back to the airborne capsule, after several hours of conversation and translation, he was barely able to accept such a touch, and then he was used to it, according to the dragon, he was blessing his benefactor with the dragon.

But for some reason, Narrator-kun's physique seemed to be very repulsive to such a blessing, and the power of the ancient divine dragon could not be injected into his body at all, so it was like a routine every day, and the dragon had to make such a touch.

"Alright! Marlowe, you said you were going to die, let me go to your daughter, what the hell did that mean? ”

A few days ago, the dragon named Marlowe made his request to let the narrator go to find his daughter, because he was dying, and in order to prove what he said, the dragon showed the narrator his tail, this creature, once close to the end of his life, will gradually petrify from the tail, and eventually become a lifelike sculpture.

Within the human city-state, there is a well-known town, and at the center of the town is a dead dragon that is said to have been founded by the humans who killed it.

"Of course, I know that you humans are just as greedy for great wealth as we are, and I am the former dragon king of the Red Dragon Clan, and I have immense wealth, gold and silver. There is also a whole country for me to make wealth, we dragons feed on minerals, the better the quality of the food, the stronger our bodies will be, humans, if you promise me to take care of my daughter, then I will give it all to you. ”

The dragon flicked its massive tail and grinned, its tongue curling a diamond-shimmering mineral from the inside of its mouth. Put it in front of the narrator.

"While your strange machine is learning my language, I'm learning your language, and even though you don't speak the same language as most humans, I'm still learning. I know, you need a lot of metal, and the human named Dana hasn't ever come out of that strange box, but don't doubt a dragon's hearing. I can probably understand what you said to her. You can take this piece of dragon spirit first and discuss it with your partner. ”

The mineral in front of him, which Narrator-kun had never seen, was shining with diamonds in the sunlight, and it was obvious that it had been refined by this giant dragon was already very pure, and even the Empire's casting world might not be able to refine such a pure metal. After thinking about it for a while, Narrator-kun decides to connect with Dana and see what he has to say.

A few hours later.

"This is the Dana I've been contacting." Narrator places the portable holographic generator in front of the dragon.

β€œhemmmmmm........ In the long I've lived, I've seen countless human city-states rise to destruction, and this form of magic is the first time I've seen it, Hello esteemed human female. The huge dragon head nodded to Dana in salute. Dana's holographic figure also returned an imperial salute and reported to the narrator:

"According to the minerals transmitted by the captain, there are no similar substances in the knowledge system stored on this ship, but they contain very easy to extract and a considerable amount of energy. This small piece of 170.37 kilograms has been able to supply the ship in its current state for 30 years. It is advisable to form a cooperative relationship with such organisms. Lots of acquisition. Dana OUT. After saying that, Dana unilaterally cut off the contact, and the holographic figure disappeared on the holographic board in an instant. The dragon's huge face showed obvious surprise at the sudden disappearance of the figure. He soon regained his composure.

β€œhemmmm...... It's kind of interesting. But it's a pity that a dragon essence of this size is already a huge wealth in front of normal humans, and I need ten years to refine the dragon essence that you sent away with magic just now, dragon essence means the strength of a giant dragon, and the amount of this substance determines the strength and persistence of the dragon language magic that we can use, a small piece of dragon essence, if it is a normal human mage, maybe I let him destroy a human country, and he will not hesitate to agree. I mean you're ignorant, or do you mean you don't belong in our world......"

The dragon showed his cunning, and all he had known about it all the time was that it was a silicon-based creature that could eat everything from dirt to rare radioactive minerals.

At least now the weapon in his hand can't even shoot through his scales, and the only way to kill it is to detonate the shaped battery inside the drop pod. And this giant dragon easily saw through the identity of the narrator from the usual details. The narrator-kun retracted his usual bohemian and seriously thought about the dragon's proposal.

"So how many of these dragon spirits can you provide to me, can you count them yourself? Do you think it's possible to trade with other dragons? ”

"Hahaha~!All my dragon spirits are stored in my lair, and the six colors of the nine-colored dragon group attacked me when I left the nest. But my treasure pool should be the only one I know. And my daughter is there, and I'm going to have to fly for two days, or about four months for you humans. I am a dragon that has lived for tens of thousands of years, and I have no way of knowing how much dragon essence I have refined since the dragon's adulthood. ”

The dragon narrowed his eyes, and his huge head stretched out in front of the narrator's face, and the narrator could even smell the sulfur on the dragon's body, and the dragon continued:

"Dragons will enslave other races to dig for rich minerals for themselves, but there is absolutely no possibility of being driven to enslave by other races. Trade? We dragons are all greedy, and if I wasn't nearing the end of my life, then your iron box that I haven't seen before might be my favorite food. ”

As if he really wanted to taste the narrator's assault pod, the dragon licked his lips with his huge dragon tongue, opened his mouth, and continued after smashing it twice:

"Of course, if you agree, you still want to taste it before you die. Closer to home, if you want to trade, then you have to be able to make the dragon approve of it. ”

With his own claws, he grabbed a handful of dust on the floor that was small for the dragon, and then sprinkled it in front of the narrator, as if to be surprised by the holographic technology just now, the dust was suspended in the air, and gradually formed a topographic map, in which a human-looking creature was confronting the dragon with a giant shield and a long sword.

"I mean one-on-one situations, but as you can see, dragon slaying can be a legend in the human world, and humans only have the chance to kill one by chance when our people are seriously injured in a civil war, or when they are too old to walk, and even then they have to do their best. Do you think you can do it alone?"

As if it takes a lot of energy to operate such a sand table, the dragon didn't look at Narrator when he said this, the dragon grip that was as sharp as a razor was lightly pinched, and the human fighter made of sand was easily stepped back to dust by the dragon made of the same sand, and then the dragon revoked the magic, and the sand table formed by the magic all fell to the ground, and the yellow, orange, and orange dragon's eyes stared straight at Narrator.

The dragon almost described the insignificance of human beings in a contemptuous tone, and the narrator was not frightened by the dragon's huge gaze, but silently took out the connector again:

"Dana, analyze my chances of defeating the dragon in front of me and send me a report." Then Narrator Jun got up and patted the dust on his pants, and the huge dragon head followed Narrator Jun's body in sync, after Narrator Jun stood up, one hand lifted the two long-eared rodent creatures he had just caught today, and the other hand held on the rifle and glared at the dragon with the same eyes:

"Marlowe, I don't think it's a problem to be able to smash a dragon into a meatloaf by an airdrop pod, so do we have to fight hand-to-hand, or can we use weapons?"

"Of course, dragons also have dragon pride, and if you dare to challenge, then you can use any weapon you can use, magic. After all, our dragon clan will also have some types that like to let their vassal races build heavy armor for themselves. ”

A hint of cunning dragon flashed in his eyes. He lightly tapped the narrator's battle armor with his paw, and once again brought his head closer to the narrator:

"If you promise to save my daughter, then you will get the heart of the dragon, when my daughter was born, because the human female I love is weak and not able to give birth well, and Adlicia's body is very weak at birth."

The dragon's face showed a look of pampering that didn't fit the creature, but it quickly returned to its original form. Continue to say in a tone as if it were none of your business:

"I implanted the treasure of our dragon clan into her body. As long as Adriasia is an adult, then according to our contract, this dragon heart and my daughter will belong to you, the dragon heart is an existence that the dragon clan cannot resist, although it requires a lot of dragon spirits to drive. In other words, with the deterrence of the Dragon's Heart, you have the entire group of dragons. As long as you can provide enough dragon spirits. ”

The narrator, who got this news, didn't answer anything, and Dana's analysis of the pros outweighed the disadvantages. After two or three weeks of negotiation, the dragon's injuries had weakened him to the point where he couldn't lift his head.

Every day, Narrator can only use the mine mule that Dana "threw down" to deliver the stone to the dragon's mouth. Half of the dragon's body was petrified. The dragon became lifeless day by day, and during this time Dana also underwent experimental medical treatment, but alas. There is no way to stop the spread of this petrification other than the stationary position, and the energy required for the stationary position suitable for this kind of dragon is at least that the frigate-class Dana cannot provide such a high-quality stationary position for the time being.

When the dragon was more than half petrified by itself, he tore off a dozen dragon scales from his abdomen with his own teeth and spit out a dragon tooth from the dragon's mouth, and handed it to the narrator, according to Marlowe himself, these dragon scales are the hardest objects that can be found in this world, and you can find dwarves to forge armor, and this young tooth is the only guarantee that you will not be eaten by my daughter.

A few days later, I looked at the dragon scales that were about the same height as myself and were piled up there, and then looked at the dragon that saved the girl's heart. Finally, when the dragon only had its last head left and was not petrified, he disguised the drop pod, said goodbye to the dragon named Marlowe, and silently covered him with a camouflage net and said:

"Rest in peace, my hunk friend."

He then grabbed his bags and began to walk down the canyon in the direction given by the dragon.

Because of the description of the dragon, combined with Dana's terrain scan. The Dragon's Nest is located in a high-altitude mountainous area more than a thousand kilometers away in a straight line. Dana has already dropped a lot of beacons along the road, just follow the beacons and walk along the way, if you don't have enough supplies, you only need to send a signal near the beacon to get the airdrop quickly.

Without affecting the solar charging panels, Narrator lay on the back of the mine mule, although it did not have the stability of a ground effect aircraft, but now the conditions are difficult, and now he can only rely on the six-legged mine mule to move forward slowly.

The sides of the mine mule were covered with saddlebags, tightly covered with nets made of hyperfabric removed from the chest of the guard robot, and inside were all kinds of supplies and ammunition, and the narrator who could not be taken away had already hidden. The mine mule can carry almost half a month's supply at a time, plus the gluttony along the way to save money, basically the narrator can supply once every 20 days.

The surrounding climate is obviously a temperate forest, and the slopes from time to time make Narrator Jun annoyed, because at this time he had to walk by himself, although the mine mule had enough motivation to continue to walk with him, but the huge energy consumption would reduce the mine mule's original plan to walk for 8 hours to 4 hours, after all, this is a personalized mine mule.

When he encountered another hillside, the narrator hung his rifle on his personal server, and he took a machete to open the way in front of him. The target is an apparently artificially exploited human settlement in the middle of the forest, and it's about two hours away. When the dense forest caused the mining mules to use their own stored electricity, a dirt path finally appeared behind the branches cut down by Narrator Jun.

Like most agricultural planets, this road is not paved at all, purely because of the people and wagons that come and go. The forest canopy obscured half of the road, and only the middle of the road was able to get sunlight, and the heavy rain in the morning made the road unusually muddy.

Driving the mine mule to a place where the sun could shine, Narrator wiped his sweat, took out the kettle and poured a sip of water, the current planet latitude is in summer, very hot weather. Let the narrator increase the consumption of water sources, and the water saved along the way can finally be poured into a mouthful.

The cool liquid with a light salty taste travels down the throat into the stomach pouch, replenishing lost water and minerals. Narrator climbed onto the mule and lay on a hammock that he had hung at the bottom of the wide mule on a whim, using a net that had been used to prevent supplies from falling.

As long as it's not over rough terrain, the hammock is half a meter above the ground with the mule's six mechanical legs deliberately set, but the originally flat mule for optimal balance looks like it's on stilts. It no longer resembles the six-legged mules of the Empire, but resembles the spiders that can be seen everywhere on the Holy Terra.

As the mule moved forward mechanically, the hammock swayed back and forth regularly, and the narrator, who had been cutting bushes all morning, fell asleep in a groggy way.

With the neighing of the animal, the mine mule stopped, and the sudden stop made the narrator fall off the hammock sideways, and once again fell face to the ground and ate, fortunately it was not high, but the narrator, who habitually got up, smashed the back of his head on the bottom plate of the mine mule, and the terrible pain made the narrator immediately wake up in the case of desperate rubbing.

Then the thick smell of rust stimulated the brain to keep Narrator on his guard, looked at the muddy ground where he had fallen all over his body, and realized that he was in an area where the locals were fighting each other, and because of the arrival of the mine mule, the two sides stopped fighting, and looked at the giant iron spider covered with fishing nets in unison, and ignored the narrator's belly under the spider's belly.

When the narrator crawled out from under the spider, it caused a lot of confusion, and in the chaos, the narrator shouted loudly in an unfamiliar local language:

"Don't fight, don't fight, what's the benefit....... Bah! No, please get out of the way for you to fight. ”

Narrator's general observation showed that a carriage that seemed to be a two-horse carriage that was quite good according to the local industrial capacity overturned on the side of the road, and one of the two horses pulling the cart was lost, and the other was crushed in two by the thick trunk of a man who was used as a trap.

Behind the carriage, two people, an old man and a young man, looked at the narrator with a shudder, and next to the carriage, a soldier who looked like a soldier wearing most of the chain armor and a few full-body plate armor was confronting a large group of people in tattered clothes.

The narrator scratched his head, according to this urine nature, this is obviously the appearance of a certain lord's housekeeper and a certain lady being robbed by a thief, and then under normal circumstances, there will be a thief shouting that the man kills the woman and takes it away, what kind of story is this recorded in the ancient books of what era. Novels that have been circulating for countless centuries and are still prevalent in empires often have such episodes.

"Wow Cao, won't you be a hero to save the beauty, and then marry Bai Fumei, and walk on the pinnacle of life, this can be touched by Lao Tzu?"
