Chapter 55: The Gift
All right.
It seems that he is quite interested in Althea.
Ryan couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and even felt like he had been cut off by Athea.
But of course, Ryan can't be unhappy because of such a trivial matter, Althea is his partner, and he is happy to see her popular.
What really made Ryan care was the half sentence that the young bronze dragon said later.
By observing the sparkling vertical pupils of Sandor when he said the words "discuss something", Ryan keenly sensed in his heart that this matter might have something to do with treasure.
There wasn't a dragon who didn't like treasure, and as a bronze dragon, Sandor pursued treasure a bit like a mercenary.
Get paid for your work.
Curious about what Sandor was about to say, Ryan and Althea ate the special dish as quickly as they could.
I have to say.
With no seasonings, the grilled fish tastes very average, and the only thing it's commendable about is that it's cooked, but since the chef is a dragon, Ryan and Althea also feel different when they eat it.
"It's finally good, I can't wait," Sandor paced back and forth beside Ryan and Aithea, as if he couldn't believe that the dish he made was so popular, "Listen, this is the case." β
Todor's tone became serious, he folded his wings, looked directly at Ryan and Aithea, and spoke in a deep voice under their respective gazes, "Recently, I have always felt that the sea has not become particularly calm, as if something is about to happen. And about a few days ago, when I went to the bottom of the ocean to look for possible shipwrecks and jewels left in them, I saw a group of nearly 100 Sawa fish-people army gathered together, as if discussing something. β
"Sawa Fishman."
Althea blinked.
As a young girl who is proficient in spells and various monsters/professions, she is no stranger to the monsters that Sandor speaks of.
This is a monster called the "Sea Devil" by the old sailors, and almost every Sawa Fishman is a follower of the shark god Sekora, and although they are not particularly powerful, they can only tie with an adult at most, but the breeding ability of this monster is simply terrifying.
"Yes," Sandor nodded, "I think it's very likely that they're organizing an organized and planned assault on your human realm, or they wouldn't have made a sense to gather so much at once - I mean the Sawout Fishmen's racial habits, and the actual number of them would have multiplied the number I've seen." β
With that, Sandor spread his wings, "And all I need you to do is report the news to the local baron Jader, who runs the town. Fagan, and tell him that if that day does come, then Sandor will join the fight! β
[The Bronze Dragons are actively opposed to tyranny/evil, and when they encounter similar conflicts or wars, the Bronze Dragons will actively join a faction to fight with them against the evil/tyrant, and demand full rewards from that faction with a coherent and logical mind.] ]
Although the current Sandor is only a young bronze dragon, about fifteen years old, he always has the blood of the bronze dragon flowing in his body, so when a potential "war" may occur, Sandor, who is only a juvenile dragon, immediately stands up without hesitation.
He's going to fight!
He wants to fight and get the treasure he wants!
However, the news was a bit sudden for Althea, and instead of immediately agreeing to what Sandor said, she turned her head and asked Ryan for advice.
Ryan replied in the affirmative.
The purpose of his visit to Sandor with Aithea was originally to talk to the other party about things related to the Sawa Fish Man, but now that he heard the other party take the initiative to talk about it, of course, there was no reason to refuse.
"Okay, so that's it...... No," Sandor said in a deep voice, his head drooping, and after a moment's thought, "I need you to tell Jadel what I needβ"
After saying that, Sandor told Ryan about what he liked very seriously.
He says he likes gold coins, gems and pearls.
The latter can be found in the sea, but it takes time to search for them.
"Why should I put in a lot of toil to do such a boring job when humans have processed pearls in their hands?" Sandor considered his logic to be unassailable.
"The intelligence plus the participation in the war is almost worth the price you said, and I will help convey the news," Ryan carefully remembered Sandor's needs, and at the same time expressed his attitude to the young bronze dragon, "In addition, if this day really comes, then my partner and I will also participate in the war without hesitation." β
After teaming up with Ryan to defeat the Blighter, Athea's confidence in herself grew dramatically, and she grew to like the feeling of using spells to help Ryan.
This makes Althea want more now, and she wants to take this opportunity to prove to Ryan that she has full potential.
Althea stood up and expressed her attitude equally seriously, "Although my spell slots are still relatively limited now, if this day really comes, I am willing to do everything I can with Ryan." β
"I'm glad to hear you say that." Sandor stretched out one of his dragon wings and motioned for Ryan and Althea to shake his hand, "Looks like I didn't misread you at first. β
"We feel the same way," Ryan and Althea put their hands on Tandor's dragon wings together, and said in a sincere tone, "I've heard that the temperament of the five-colored dragon is usually full of violence and madness, as long as it is a normal person, no one wants to be friends with them, and the metal dragon is the complete opposite of them. Seeing you today has made me realize the correctness of this sentence. β
The metal dragon and the five-colored dragon admired each other's beliefs on the surface, but they both looked at each other very unpleasantly in private, and Sandor was very happy to hear that Ryan not only stepped on the five-colored dragon, but also praised them metal dragons, especially himself.
The boy then invited the two to a more friendly exchange on the island he called "The Garden", and dived underwater again to prepare a gift for them when they were about to leave.
A bag of grilled small dried fish.
"Don't forget to tell the baron what I need," Sandor said, standing on the shore and looking at the two young men in the boat, raising his dragon head at them, "Also, remember to eat the little dried fish I gave you." β
