Chapter 57: Dragons of Middle-earth
As a human, Josh has always been a carnivorous creature, both in his past life and in this life.
But when he came to Middle-earth, Josh felt that his mouth really faded into a bird's flavor.
Even Josh wondered why he had to stay in Rivendell all the time, although the environment here was indeed very good, but the food here was really not to the taste.
Josh didn't calculate exactly how long it would take, but he knew he hadn't tasted meat in months.
Not only him, but even Natasha and Galen couldn't stand it anymore, not to mention the guy Akatosh, I'm afraid that Hosdena in his group could endure this kind of taste.
This guy was used to devouring the energy Galen provided, and instead he was the most indifferent.
Although it really doesn't matter if they eat meat or not, even if they don't eat for a week, it's fine, but Josh, who has a craving and has long been used to eating, he can't stand it for so long.
And now he suddenly found an opportunity, last night's battle between him and Galadriel, the female elf king, directly froze Rivendell for half a thousand miles, which also caused Elon, who had always been with them, to take the lead in solving these troubles.
With no one watching, Josh, who was not a good bird in the first place, finally couldn't suppress some thoughts.
Early in the morning, he came to the training ground with two people and two dragons, and when he found that there was no one around, he decisively said to Hosdner: "Man, remember a few years ago, in the assassin world, you helped me catch something back?" ”
"Well, I'm going to think about it."
Hostner was a little confused, but his memory was still good, and after just a little thought, he recalled: "A cow, I remember that you lost money because of it, right?" ”
"You don't have to think about losing money, it doesn't matter."
"So, what do you mean?"
"Now, I want you to go and catch me another cow and come back!"
Josh almost gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to salivate when he said this, but you can imagine how greedy he was.
In Josh's impression, it seems that the elves in the Muya Continent are not meat-eating, why are the elves in this world so paranoid?
And when Josh said this, Akatosh and Galen's eyes lit up.
As the top existence of the carnivorous clan, Akatosh is not as Buddhist as his son, and Galen can't stand it as a warrior, as for Natasha, although she didn't say anything, but looking at her slightly beating eyebrows, she knew that she was also looking forward to it.
"But aren't you going to lose money again?"
"How much is a cow? Here you go, this gold coin is enough to buy ten cows! Go ahead, remember to get a bigger one, and we don't have much time! ”
Money? In the Muya Continent, it was because of the restrictions of unnatural factors, which caused Josh to have a large amount of gold coins and had nowhere to spend them, but this was not the Muya Continent.
And the coins of this place, Josh doesn't think it will have the limit of broken eggs in the Muya continent, and the gold in Italy is enough for Josh to squander for a long time.
"Well, if you say that, wait for me a little bit."
After Hostner finished speaking, he directly took the gold coin that Josh gave him in one gulp and then took off into the air and flew into the distance.
After about ten minutes, Josh saw the guy fly back, drop a bull that looked loveless, and then fall to the ground as if nothing happened.
Of course, if this guy didn't have a claw on top of his claws, someone who looked frightened but also looked helpless.
"I said, didn't I tell you to buy cows? Why did you bring people back? ”
"Because the gold coins you gave me accidentally made me swallow them in my stomach, so I ....."
Josh really didn't know how to answer, and even Galen and Akatosh directly covered their faces with their hands or paws.
After looking at the middle-aged man who was holding Horsdena and grabbing him, Josh thought that the guy on the eighth floor was also forced to catch Horsdena back.
After all, Hostena is really nerve-wracking sometimes, and if you swallow the gold coins, forget it.
Looking at this person's appearance, he didn't plan to ask for money, but this guy also brought him over, which gave Josh a headache, but fortunately, this guy found out that the dragon didn't hurt him, and he also brought a few humans in front of him, and he immediately came to his senses.
"Dear Dragon Knight, I didn't want money, but..."
"First of all, this stupid dragon is not my mount. Secondly, he is not a mount but a partner of my good friend. In the end, I am not a knight but a magician. ”
Josh interrupted the man directly, then took out a gold coin and handed it to him, and directly asked Hosdner to send him back.
Josh didn't want to talk so much nonsense here, his eyes were already fixed on the bull. The bull seemed to feel Josh's gaze and howled, but it didn't help.
It only took about ten minutes, and under Galen's control, the cow had been completely dismembered as soon as Hostner returned, and Josh had specially cleaned the scene with water elemental magic.
The elf's nose is very sensitive, and Josh doesn't want to smell so much blood. Even if they smell it, they may not necessarily say anything, but the necessary respect Josh still has to give.
Set up a bonfire, skewer beef, and then took out some ingredients from the space bag and sprinkled them, and immediately the meat was full of aroma.
Of course, the main thing is that they haven't eaten meat for a long time, and if it were in the past, I'm afraid that no one would really want to eat what Josh baked.
"By the way, what about the skeleton that pretends to be dead? It won't still be in your room, will it? While flipping the barbecue, Galen suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Fengyue, you say? is indeed still in the room, and last night's unexpected event directly made her an ice sculpture. But it doesn't matter, it's not a big deal anyway. ”
"You're ruthless."
"Can you two stop talking?" Akatosh watched Galen and Josh still chatting, much to his annoyance.
"I said Josh, are you alright? I've been throwing up eating leaves for the past few months! ”
"How fast do you want to be with such a big cow? Also, that's greens, not leaves, you idiot! ”
"Don't you know what it means to hurry up?"
"Then why don't you go and post it?"
"Ahem."
The two second-class goods were arguing, and suddenly heard a cough not far away, raised their heads and looked over, only to see the three elf kings with a somewhat embarrassed face, walking towards Josh and their directions.
This scene was very embarrassing, and it almost scared Josh and them to put out the fire directly, but after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be that necessary?
"I'm sorry, Excellencies, but I didn't think it through. However, it is true that it is not a leaf, it is a type of green vegetable. ”
Elon said a little apologetically to Josh and the others, and at the same time looked at the mutilated cow with some distress, which made Josh feel that he had done something bad.
It's embarrassing to slaughter animals and roast them to eat in elven territory, and then get caught in the end. Even Josh felt the same as saying in front of Elon that my territory was called Rivinedell.
Galadriel and Thranduil looked a little distressed when they saw the beef, but Josh felt that their eyes were always on Akatosh and Hostner, and they were still vigilant.
If you think about it for a moment, Josh knows that dragons are not a good thing in this world.
For example, Ankara Gang in ancient times, the big guy that can be regarded as the longest in Josh's memory, with a body length of at least 10,000 meters, was cultivated by Morgoth.
However, in the end, he died at the hands of Elendiel, who was Elon's father.
As for the other dragons, they weren't a good thing.
For example, Graulon, who has the title of Father of Dragons, is actually better known for his title of Fraudster and Greedy Bug.
You must know that this dragon is a dragon who can do magic, but this guy's magic seems to be in the wrong place, and his 'great achievements' are also hated and admired.
Túrin Turumbal, the great hero of this world, can be said to be the disaster that made him worse.
For example, Glauron uses magic to cause Túrin's sister Ninore to lose her memory, making it impossible for the siblings to recognize each other (Ninore was born after Túrin left home, and the two did not know each other), and Ninore eventually married her brother.
Brandil was the lord of Túrin's hometown at the time, and this tragic guy knew the truth and told Túrin, but Túrin thought that he was jealous of himself and killed the unlucky guy directly.
Eventually, he discovers that his wife, Ninor, had untied the spell when he killed the Grauron Dragon, and that she had learned the truth and had committed suicide in shame.
This also became the last straw that drove Túrin crazy, which directly led to the final choice of the greatest hero of that era was to commit suicide in grief and anger.
It can be said that even if Glauron died, he pulled Túrin down as a cushion, oh, several together.
All in all, dragons are definitely not a symbol of friendship in this world, but a harbinger of disasters and doomsday.
But the problem is that Josh's two dragons are not dragons and not of this world, and Akatosh, who has Josh's memory, naturally knows these things, not to mention that he has already discovered two pairs of unkind eyes.
"What do you see? Never seen a dragon? ”
"Sir Josh, is this a pet like yours? Forgive my presumptuousness, I have to remind you that dragons are not ....."
"You're the pet! Your whole family is pets! ”
Akatosh's mind exploded when he heard the word pet, and his originally miniature body suddenly turned into a huge size of more than sixty meters.
At the same time, the explosion of magic in his body, coupled with his already strong soul, immediately caused the entire Rivendell to fall into a panic.
"I'm sorry Lord Josh and Lord Akatosh, this put away your anger, they definitely didn't mean to."
Under the monstrous oppression of Akatosh's demonic power, Galadriel and Thrandil, the two elven kings who had not practiced magic or battle qi, suddenly felt as if their souls were suffocated, and a cold sense of death as if they were drowning.
Only Elon didn't feel too much, because Elon had already released his battle qi to protect himself.
But it's not a good thing to go on like this, and he has to come forward to mediate. Only those who have practiced battle qi know how powerful these mysterious powers really are.
"Akatosh, forget it. After all, the destruction of this world by the dragon is too profound, and you don't know it, so why bother so much? ”
"Humph!"
Akatosh snorted coldly, and then slowly put away his magic power, and at the same time, his body kept shrinking and changing back to his previous appearance, and landed directly on Josh's shoulder.
But his angry eyes let Josh know that this guy is definitely very unhappy.
"I'm sorry for Your Majesty Galadriel, and Your Majesty Thrandil, and I apologize for Akatosh's actions."
Akatosh was not happy, and Josh naturally did not feel comfortable, he said a word lukewarmly, and at the same time stood up and bowed slightly to the two elf kings who had not yet recovered and apologized.
But after that, he looked at the two of them directly with a cold face: "But do you think you'd better apologize to him too, after all, Akatosh is not my pet, he is my friend, my partner, and my teacher!" ”
The dragon is a teacher?
This surprised both Galadriel and Thrandill, but they also felt the faint magic coming from Josh.
This also made them suddenly realize that the person in front of them was not from this world, and his dragon was not from this world.
In other words, dragons from other worlds may be different from dragons from other worlds.
Things are not absolute, they are tantamount to making an empirical mistake, and after glancing at Elon, who is a little embarrassed but does not say a word, the two of them know that they must do something.
Sighing slightly, Galadriel and Thranduil both walked up to Josh seriously, and then bowed slightly to the miniature dragon on Josh's shoulder very formally:
"I'm sorry, Lord Akatosh. We apologize for our actions, we ask for your understanding, and we hope you will understand us. ”
"Well, okay, forget it. I know what is going on in your world, but I want to have a request. ”
"Please."
"Since you know I'm a dragon, you should know that I'm a meat eater, right?"
"Yes."
"So, in the coming days, can you stop taking some leaves to perfunctory me! I'm really going to vomit! ”
