Don't do anything with dragon eggs. You dragon hunters still have this rule?" asked Du, listening to what the hunter and Socrates were saying, puzzled.

The dragon eggs of the dragon clan are good things, and the price on the black market has been speculated to sky-high prices. After all, as long as you can wait for the baby dragon to hatch, you have a loyal guard. It stands to reason that it is impossible for the dragon hunters, who only have interests in their eyes, to give up such an extremely valuable item.

"Although we dragon hunters pay attention to the other half, we also have rules. One of the unwritten rules is that all dragon hunters must abide by the unwritten rule of not touching dragon eggs, otherwise they will be dealt with by other dragon hunters. Socrates said, "You know, dragons don't reproduce easily, and it takes a long time for a young dragon to be born, so dragon eggs are very valuable to dragons." We can slay dragons, but we can't do anything to the dragons' reproduction, and if someone takes a dragon's egg and the dragons know about it, it may provoke a war between the dragons and the humans!

"Well, as the street thieves believe, is there a maxim that 'thieves have a way'?" nodded gloomily.

Socrates smiled, waved his hand and said, "You think too much, we won't have such noble character, this is just so that there will be dragons that can be killed in the future." After all, the price of all the materials on an adult dragon is more expensive than a dragon egg, and it is better to fatten it and kill it than to kill the chicken for the eggs, so that future generations can continue to engage in our business and not fall into the point where there are no dragons to slaughter. Whether we slaughter the dragons or the dragons wipe us out from the continent, these are not what we want to see. ”

That is to say, the reason why you are doing this is actually for your own selfish desires. He rolled his eyes, he didn't expect Socrates to give him such an answer.

This is really clear and straightforward, just like a thief who bluntly talks about himself and does not steal all the money from others, because he is afraid that people will report the case, and there will be soldiers from the inspection department to arrest him.

"The answer you gave me really caught me off guard. He pouted.

"It's important to remember that the only motto we dragon hunters believe in is profit first, and we prefer the long-term big profit to these short-term small profits. The more time passes, the more you gain. In our opinion, letting go of dragon eggs is also a way to preserve wealth, after all, the value of the material itself is constant. Socrates said, "Keep the eggs and wait for them to hatch into dragons, and then wait for them to grow up, so that future generations will not be afraid of any such thing as inflation, because even if the price fluctuates a lot, and the value does not change, it will always be worth that price." ”

"Inflation...... This jargon ...... I didn't expect there to be economists among the dragon hunters. He stared at Socrates vigorously, trying to pick out something different from him.

The direction that Dian is good at is history, and he doesn't know anything about the economic field, so he always feels that economists are all very awesome, and now that there is a living one in front of him, of course he has to take a good look.

Socrates was stared at so much that his heart was furious, and he hurriedly said: "Don't look at me with such eyes, okay? I have been taught by the elders of the family, after all, the newcomers nowadays are always eager for quick success, and if we can't explain these great truths to them, they may violate our rules." Once there is a beginning, it will be a never-ending disaster, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the profession of dragon hunter will disappear forever in the long river of history. ”

"Dragons will disappear into history, right?"

"No, it won't. The Terrans will never allow a war with the Dragons now, so they will definitely use us to appease the Dragons' wrath. We will become a group of people who will be dealt with by the Terrans and the Dragons at the same time, and the final result will only be wiped out. ”

He nodded gloomily. He understood what Socrates meant. The Terrans are at war with the Elves, and if they join another Dragon, they will be at an extremely disadvantage. The Terrans would never allow one more enemy, and they would certainly sacrifice the dragon hunters. He believes that the Kingdom Intelligence Bureau must have the information of this group of dragon hunters, and it is easy to find them, and then the dragon hunters will be betrayed by their own race, and the human race will let them use their lives to wash away the sins committed against the dragon clan, so as to ease the relationship with the dragon clan.

It's a feeling of abandonment that no one wants to experience.

"I can already imagine what will happen to you when you're discovered. But before we head out to Slay Dragons, I have one more question to ask. Gloom said.

"Ask, I will say everything, I will know everything. Socrates nodded and agreed to Dark's request.

"Just now you told the hunter that this is a female dragon that has just given birth, and that it is a good time to hunt and kill, and then you have to hunt the female dragon, but you can't touch the eggs. I'm curious to know, if there is no female dragon, will the dragon eggs hatch? Generally speaking, without the mother's hatching, oviparous organisms would not be born, right?"

I wanted to ask this question before. According to his knowledge of oviparous organisms, all oviparous organisms are born and need to be hatched by their mothers, such as birds. But from Socrates' conversation with the hunters, he found that they didn't seem to care about the effect of the death of the female dragon on the dragon egg, which seemed to hatch even without the female dragon, which was not in line with the general biological laws.

The eggs of living organisms will only hatch in the right environment and at higher temperatures.

"Oh~ So you wanted to ask this question. Socrates opened his mouth, nodded, and said: "Dragons are different from other oviparous creatures, their vitality is very tenacious, bird eggs or others, the eggs of oviparous creatures need to be given by the mother at the right temperature to hatch, dragons are the opposite, the birth of young dragons does not need female dragons to hatch, they only need to be in a suitable environment, after a long period of element absorption, they can hatch on their own." This is the biggest difference between dragons and other oviparous creatures, the eggs of other oviparous creatures need temperature, and the shade needs a rich magical element. ”

"Rich magical elements. Is that where their magic resistance comes from?" nodded darkly.

The world is so big that there are many wonders, and there are still many things that the Creator has not yet understood.
