Chapter 8 The Little Dragon Girl Who Sells Matches

"The dragon has a strong body, a long, thick neck, a horned or frilly head, sharp teeth, and a long tail. {p-a-o-s-h-u-8.c-o-m} It walks with four powerful steps and flies with a pair of giant wings that resemble batwings.

Its body is covered with sturdy scales that protect it. Its eyes have four layers of eyelids, the inner three of which are transparent to protect the eyes from damage, and the ears can be opened and closed. , with sharp and sharp teeth, usually bent inward in order to tear apart the prey.

Dragons, who mostly live in caves, love treasures, and usually have a large amount of treasures in caves. It can spitt attacks, depending on the type of dragon, such as the red dragon breathing fire, the blue dragon spewing electricity, etc. It is also immune to energy attacks of its kind.

Dragons, with a strong sense of territory, are usually limited to a single dragon and no other creatures in an area. And most of them act alone, sleeping all year round. It is only when their treasures or territories are violated that they wake up from their slumber to defend their treasures and territories.

Dragons are terrifying creatures that emit a frightening aura. Depending on the type, it is born with special magic.

To sum up, no one can deny that dragons are at the top of the food chain in this world, and they are absolutely powerful. But since it is a member of the natural world of this world, it means that it also obeys the laws of nature, which means that it is not without weaknesses.

First of all, although dragons have long lives and strong bodies, they are also extremely inefficient and not numerous.

Second, due to the large and heavy body, it is not flexible when walking on land, and when taking off, it needs to run long distances. In the course of its take-off, it is extremely vulnerable.

Thirdly, although it is good at long-distance flights, and it is amazingly fast. But in terms of short-distance flight and maneuverability, it is not as good as the griffin. If you know its path, you can use the Griffin Knight and other Sky Riders to ambush and kill it halfway.

Fourth, it often goes to sleep. Although it is quite alarming, it also shows that if you can touch it without being noticed, it is easy to assassinate him.

Fifth, no matter what kind of dragon it is, there is a diamond-shaped reverse scale under its neck, which is the weak point of all dragons, and its protection is extremely weak, and it can be killed with one blow.

Sixth, because the dragon has an unusual interest and affection for gold treasures and all things shiny, it also shows that it is not impossible to buy.

Seventh ......"

The sky is bright in May.

There were a few faint veil-like white clouds floating in the sky. A slight breeze blows, carrying the green and new smell of the green grass of the great plains.

To the north of Lorrainburg, a wide straight stone road runs from the city gate to the western plain, unobstructed by hills and rivers. The avenue stretched westward on the green plain until it disappeared into the vast grassland at the junction of heaven and earth.

In the sun, a butterfly resting on a blooming wisteria flower, frightened by the sound of stray hooves, flew across the avenue in the breeze and flew over the head of the ox cart.

Lorraine sat on the ox cart that walked slowly, shook the parchment scroll in his hand, which was so old that it was almost torn, and told the two people next to him about the dragon that he had made up.

Baldo and Ferro glanced at each other, then cautiously asked, "Sir, where did you get all this knowledge from?"

Lorraine casually closed the book, looked at the cover, and read word by word: "The Garin Empire Headquarters No. 9321 document "Analysis of the habits of dragons and the report of the twelve methods of killing dragons". ”

Ferro smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, you ...... If this thing really worked, the capital of the Garin Empire would not have been destroyed by the dragons. ”

He thought for a moment, then commented, "With all due respect, this method is the same...... The story of a group of mice hanging bells for cats looks good and makes sense. But the crux of the matter is which mouse can run over and hang the bell on the cat. This is purely on paper, without any operability. ”

Baldo's face suddenly wrinkled, and he looked at Lorraine pitifully, and said, "Sir, let's go back, I'...... I really don't want to die. ”

Lorraine touched her nose boredly and comforted, "Ann, Ann." Do not worry. Although it is true that there is a certain danger in killing dragons, don't forget that the dragon is different from the others, it is an idiot dragon. Even if we can't beat it, we can fool it. ”

"If you can't fool it......"

Lorraine glared at him fiercely and said, "I'm sorry, you crow's mouth~! You'd better pray to the gods that you can be deceived, because the young master I want to use you as bait, in case I can't fool it, you will be the first to die." ”

Baldo shuddered and immediately closed his mouth.

Lorraine saw that he still had a bitter face, so he had to sigh and tell his true intentions: "Well, you don't have to worry too much. Let's just go and see the situation this time, and if there's a bargain to pick up, we'll clean up the dragon. If it's too powerful, let's secretly save Aunt Nancy and run back. ”

Baldo was stunned for a moment and said, "But my lord, you don't want to slay the dragon......"

Lorraine gave him an angry look, shook his head, and said, "Baldo, you're still such an idiot. Sir, I say this, isn't it just to let those dead people pay a little more tax in the future?

"But your words are all out there......"

"You idiot, sir, I don't do not slay dragons, but I fought with that evil dragon for 800 rounds, until the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark...... In the end, there was no way to slaughter the dragon, regardless of the winner or loser. I don't believe it, sir, when I go back, those guys dare to run to the dragon to ask it for verification~!"

"Then if that dragon runs away to our castle again......"

Lorraine patted the pile of gunpowder on the car and said, "I'm really convinced of you." It's not that I haven't seen the young master, I'm afraid that the Bodhisattva will shake his head, and the thunderbolt cannon of the nine heavens and ten earths will be powerful. As long as that dragon has a little brain, it will put other people's soft persimmons and not pinch them, and come to gnaw on the hard bones of the young master. ”

Baldo was stunned for a while, and after a while, he said: "The lord is clever, and the villain is out of sight." ”

Lorraine laughed twice and said, "Nonsense, sir, I'm not smarter than you, can I be a sir?"

Seeing that the expression on Baldo's face was much more relaxed, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you are not afraid, if you are not afraid, you can catch the car and strive to reach the bottom of Qinglin Mountain tonight." ”

Baldo agreed, sat up straight, and whipped his whip to the car.

When the sun sets and night falls, Vera is standing on the mountain looking in the direction of her distant hometown, her eyes full of nostalgia and reluctance.

At this moment, there was a soft "......" sound in her abdomen, and Vera couldn't help but bend down in pain. She touched her stomach and whispered, "I'm really hungry~!"

Even though it was already dark, she could not go back without prey. Otherwise, you'll be hungry again today.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to say, she has been pampered since she was a child, never worried about eating, and her hunting skills are basically zero. In the past few days, I have only caught a deer, two rabbits, and three birds. These things are only enough for her to stuff between her teeth.

And according to the great and glorious dragon tradition, as a qualified kidnapper, you must not let the hostages go hungry. Otherwise, it will not be her face alone, but the reputation of the entire dragon clan.

In the songs of countless bards, no matter how bad the dragon is, no matter how eerie the castle cave where the princess is imprisoned, no matter how strange and vicious the trap set for the warrior who saves the princess. But there has never been a story of starving the princess to the bone and destroying the reputation of the dragons.

There was once such a fool who easily caught a princess, but he didn't take good care of the family, and starved her almost to the bone. Later, when the prince came with a large ransom, he saw that situation and immediately returned it and left. And that dragon has been ridiculed by everyone (the dragon) for five hundred years.

Whoever mentions it will be replaced by that fool.

In order not to let this shame fall on her head, Vera had to go hungry herself and give priority to the supply of food to the hostages. Therefore, in the past few days, poor Vera found that the hostages were not hungry and thin, but she had lost weight twice.

But when she thought that the first income would arrive tomorrow, she couldn't help but feel better again, raised her head to look at the twinkling stars in the sky, and let out a long breath: Hunger is nothing, just to lose weight. As long as you earn all the money and compensate everyone's losses, you can go home with confidence.

And maybe after losing money, he will still have a lot of treasures left, and at that time, he will be a little rich man, and he can decorate his shabby dragon cave. Spread all the coins and gems on the bed and lay down on it......

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, her big bright eyes narrowed into a crescent-like slit with a smile, and her bow-tied tail began to wagging proudly behind her.

At that moment, another soft sound came from "...... Goo's stomach, reminding her that her stomach was empty. Vera then came to her senses from her illusions.

"I'm really hungry~!" she sighed, bent down, and put her arms around her stomach. Then he looked around, but was disappointed to find nothing, and finally looked at the sky, and had to spread his wings, and turned and flew towards the makeshift cave.

Vera was a little pained to find that she was just as pitiful as the little match girl in the story.
