The dragon's words hurt more than the cold wind or the blade, at least Siegel had never felt his hands tremble so much. The pet felt the anger in its master's heart and chirped loudly in the air, but then it landed quietly and rested on the mage's shoulder. Siegel took a deep breath and managed to contain his emotions.

"Do I need to feed him with my own stuff? Does he eat too much?" she looked at Siegel with two differently colored eyes. To the mage, this gaze was very familiar, like a slave owner in Makabuda choosing a slave, but it was more pure. He thought about it again, the customer who picks the goods in the market, or the aristocratic child who buys the pet? Maybe the latter is the truth.

"This is an order from the Spirit of the Ancestors, and you are not allowed to comment on it. Zangwill reprimanded: "If you are not satisfied, you can hand over the territory, and then find another place, so that you don't have to keep him." ”

"Don't try to steal my treasure. Modisti raised her right hand, and a white flame burned between her slender and graceful fingers, and she could feel the danger it contained from afar. "Although I rarely leave the cave, I know that carrying out the orders of the ancestors is a very important thing that cannot be disobeyed by the dragons of this world. I still have important things to do, and it is still important for me to be rewarded by my ancestors. Don't try to lie to me, I'm not a fool!"

Her gaze contained dragon might, and the power of the other two dragons met in the air. The momentum of the three is rising in comparison. The leading dragon, Zangwill, consciously channeled this entangled momentum towards Siegel, thinking that he could bring the mage to its knees, but it had no effect at all. The young man standing on the rampart of the city well concealed all his emotions. Only the flash of wisdom was left in the eyes. Siegel already had the idea to start plotting against the dragon. But he won't divulge a single thing until it's all about it.

"Alright. You stay. Zangwill waved his hand and turned his neck like a lizard, making a kabakaba sound all over his body. "We still have to travel, so we won't waste time here. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Modestie to say anything, the two waved their arms and flew straight into the sky, regaining their dragon form in mid-air and rejoining the circling team. The sound of a dragon breathing fire came from the sky. The roar was mixed with faint laughter. With everyone on the ground watching, the dragon's team continued to fly north.

In the courtyard of the Black Blood Castle, Modisty stared at the mage silently, not knowing how to speak. Siegel looked back at her quietly, his fingers hidden in his sleeve rubbing his wand. The so-called Saint-Thur Peak is definitely a hot territory, and the trouble it brings is likely to be much higher than the benefits, this is the blessing of the primeval dragon Longkraga?

Once he had set his goal, Siegel smiled. Greet Modestie with a gentlemanly courtesy that no one can fault with: "Beautiful lady, I am Siegel Squid." Royal Baron of the Starry Kingdom, Mage of the Federation. Nice to meet you. ”

"Got it. The woman with different eyes nodded. After her people left, it may be that there was no longer the pressure of being watched, and Modesty's attitude was a little better. At least she put away Long Wei and the flames that were gurgling from her nostrils. "According to the instructions of the Ancestors, the Peak of St. Se is yours before you die, and the treasure within...... The treasure is mine, but I can show you...... You can use it. ”

Halfway through the courtyard, Siegel nodded and replied, "I don't know what the definition of treasure is?

"Of course it is!" Modisti said happily with a frown, "You want those things, great, they don't taste good, you can take them." Try to spare me the food in my cave. Then she asked cautiously, "What do you humans usually eat?"

"Meat. Siegel said in a calm tone. But hearing this, Modette turned her head sharply and glared at her fiercely. The majesty of the dragon could not be desecrated, and the powerful and primal aura of the predator instantly filled the entire courtyard. Under the protection of Pastor Dawn, most of the people were only shocked, but they were quickly pacified. But the soldiers in the rest of the castle were trembling and staggering, unable to stand at all. Siegel staggered back two steps and stepped back to a Dawn Paladin, where he was able to hold himself up.

"Don't try to eat me!" said Modisti, "Your teeth can't penetrate my scales!"

Siegel only felt dizzy, it turned out that this was the true power of this dragon, the power that naturally erupted without restraint. However, he also discovered one thing: there was definitely something wrong with the dragon's brain in front of him.

Dragons are solitary animals, and even the kind-hearted dragons will think of themselves first before deciding to interact with the rest of the world. It seems that the legacy of the Ancestral Dragon, while important, does not prevent Zangwill from misinterpreting the instructions in some way - after all, it is difficult to put a dragon in the service of humanity. However, he is very clever, and instead of using the method of evasion and confrontation, he throws Siegel into another dangerous situation - facing a dragon that cannot be thought and treated with common sense.

To make a real profit from the dragon, he must know its safety boundaries, and only sane beings have them. For example, under the contract of the Dragon Ancestor, is the life safety of the mage protected, and to what extent is the negotiable limit? These will affect Siegel's plan. But Modette is more like a child with a temper tantrum, and it seems that she can't act according to the common sense of ordinary dragons, but she can still wield a giant sword that no one can bear. How to control this volcano, which may erupt at any time, and understand her temperament, requires the mage to constantly test and constantly wander on the edge of danger.

Siegel noticed that after releasing Long Wei just now, Modisti also had a trace of hesitation and regret, as well as a trace of real vigilance. What was the reason for this, was she really scared?At the same time, compared to her kind of flame that made people feel dangerous from the bone marrow, Long Wei's strength was obviously too low. Is it a reservation or a bogeyman?, Siegel pondered in his mind, but at the same time smiling, friendly and calm.

"Don't be angry. Ms. Modistie. Please forgive me for being reckless. I didn't make it clear. We humans don't eat dragons, absolutely not. Siegel said, "How many people can see the real dragons? Even we mages have a hard time dealing with dragons. To be fair, I'm a human with a meagre lifespan of a hundred years, which is very small compared to the almost infinite lifespan of a dragon, how could I have such a skill? And you know that our teeth can't bite through the scales, and it's not designed to eat dragons at all. ”

"That's right. Modisty put away Long Wei, then bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry. I'm a little rude. ”

"It's really surprising that you're staying here, and the lack of a dragon won't affect your operations in the north?"

"It should ...... It's okay, they've been missing me for years anyway, and I haven't seen anything happen to them. Modisti looked around at the crowd, yawned lightly, and said, "Don't you want to know the dragon's actions from me. You're not a dragon, I'm not going to tell you!, according to the ancestors, St. Ther's is yours, but if you want to take something, you have to be there. Because...... Because. Because some things are dangerous, and if you take them yourself, you'll hurt the scales!

Siegel nodded. Choosing a cooperative attitude is the most important first step in dealing with dragons.

She was delighted with the agreement she had come up with. In order not to give Siegel time to think about countermeasures. She hurriedly said, "Now arrange a room for me to rest, don't come and disturb me." ”

"I'm not a lord here. Siegel said, "I don't count that." ”

"Oh, you don't count. Modesti nodded, casually pointed to one of the towers of the Black Blood Castle, and said, "Then listen to me, I'll live there." ”

Young dragons only have the instinct to grow and prey, and as their wisdom grows, they learn to create, request, and cooperate. The talent bestowed upon them by the race is so good that dragons can grow quickly as long as they are fed and rested, and no other creature can do that. The cunning and wisdom that the oversized dragon was supposed to embody was magically not reflected in Modisti, as if she didn't know how to deal with other creatures, or even some common sense.

But common sense is a safe baseline. You can't kill because you have the common sense that killing pays for your life, and you can't steal because you have the common sense that you will be punished. While a lot of common sense is meaningless to dragons, it's a prerequisite for them to deal with other "lower" races. This process of accumulating common sense allows dragons to learn manners, especially for the good dragons (metal dragons), who are happy to communicate with other races, so this is an essential process. The older the good dragon, the easier it is to get along with, but the younger ones are hot-tempered, arrogant and irritable.

The best way to influence the dragons is to revise the common sense they have learned as they grow up, which is much easier than binding up their powerful physical and magical powers. Along this line of thinking, the mages have been pondering how to educate the dragons that have not yet grown up. Historically, mages have invented the dragon training spell to turn a proud dragon into a mount. Later, the dragons learned how to get rid of the spell and then vented their anger on the Mage's Guild. In the battle that swept across the continent, the Mage Tower stood tall, and special spells for dragons were constantly being studied. Eventually, the mage considered that there was no need to waste the short life cycle in eternal battle, and the dragons finally shook hands and made peace considering the terrible battle damage and low reproduction rate. The dragons promised never to provoke a battle against the Mage Tower, and the mages promised never to use dragon taming first.

But the study of dragons never ends.

Modesti walked into the tower on her own, and heard several screams coming from the building. With a few flashes of light, the soldiers who had been remaining in the tower jumped out of the windows in horror. They threw away their armor and threw away tears and urine when they were in the air, and they must have been poor people who were frightened by the dragon's might. Below the tower is an abyss, and if they are allowed to fall, they will surely die. With a wave of his wand, Siegel had already performed the Long Rope Activation Technique before the priests could finish their prayers. The long ropes that had been stacked on the city wall to bind the boxes flew out of the city to tie up the falling soldiers as if they had eyes. Although the spell was not strong enough to drag them back in the air, it was still guaranteed to hang them from the walls.

The paladins hurried up and pulled the soldiers up. Siegel squinted at the tower, right in front of the two alien eyes. In the mage's mind, Modesty's personality was completely unformed, and there was no need to change her common sense through dragon training. Compared to the dragon that grows up, Modesti has a much better influence. The only question is: Could this be a trick by the dragons? A bad game?

After the wooden door of the "Dragon's Residence" closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Earl Todd and Evan had a lot to ask Siegel, but the cold wind of early spring made His Royal Highness the Prince cough, so they had to accompany him back first. Sir Bill was put in charge of the castle's defenses. When Janet walked up to Siegel, Kerry the Giant smiled and decided to come back later.

"Are you alright? Janet's gaze stayed on Siegel's face. Seeing that there were some droplets of water on the mage's forehead that were about to freeze, he stood on tiptoe and wiped his sleeve. "That's a dragon, don't fight her. No matter how good Mount Saint-Saint is, your safety is no more important. ”

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Siegel said, "Dragons are powerful, but they are not incommunicative. ”

"It's so dangerous, I was scared when I saw her eyes, but when I saw her looking at you, I was even more scared. Janet said, "Although she is now in human form, she is close to twenty meters long in her bones. ”

Siegel reached out and touched the kitten's face, then said, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll take note." ”

Seeing that she couldn't persuade the mage at all, Janet was also very helpless. When Modesty appeared, she instinctively felt threatened. Not so much for her life, but for her place in Siegel's heart. Unlike the "fledgling" mage, Kitten is very aware of the common things that are common in the interaction between men and women between nobles, and knows how attractive a woman as attractive as Modesti is to a man. She and Siegel are based on the theory that "what you can't get is cherished", and now she suddenly finds herself in a cocoon. For mages, dragons are more challenging than the Daedric, and perhaps more "cherished"?

She stood behind Siegel, biting her lower lip and thinking about what to do. (To be continued......)
