Chapter 19: The Paradox of the Good Dragon

In fact, Lexty Morvianna did decide to freeze the young human into ice as soon as he took out the gem. Not completely frozen, though, but rather conscious, that he understood how stupid it was to annoy a dragon.

But unexpectedly, this human being was more cautious and cunning than he imagined, and even proposed a contract.

"Hmph, a tiny human wants to make a pact with a great dragon, do you have what it takes?" Lexti Morviana said disdainfully.

"Of course I didn't. Leo shook his head calmly, but the hand holding the sword was slightly forced, almost leaving a notch on the ring, and then continued: "However, I think these precious gems should be there. ”

Lexti Morviana suddenly became nervous, she could not bear the loss of the gem, and immediately shouted, "No, you will not do this!

Accompanied by the dragon's loud but rhythmic language, Leo suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head, and his hands and feet began to lose sensation. He immediately realized that it was the other party who had cast some kind of spiritual magic. However, in terms of effect, the level is not too high, and it is very similar to the level 3 divine magic divine confusion. And in order to hide the magic fluctuations, the intensity was deliberately reduced.

"You really can't take me seriously...... But you want to get rid of me?" Leo sneered in his heart, and ordered in his consciousness as quickly as he could: "Professor!

Since his mental strength was restored, the professor quickly started.

"It's an honor to serve you again!"

With the familiar initial prompt sound, the professor's voice suddenly became very sharp again: "Warning, the main brain is being disturbed by abnormal brain waves, and there is confusion in the mind, please decide whether to block it?"

Leo didn't worry, but was overjoyed, and secretly said that he had guessed correctly. He had guessed as early as when he knew that the professor was able to monitor the body's intake of poisons. The virtual personality must also have the function of protecting the consciousness of the subject, but it has not been attacked by this kind of magic, so it cannot be verified.

And now, after making sure that nothing would happen, he suddenly had an even crazier idea, he could take advantage of this, attack the dragon's high dignity, and then let her settle down a little and negotiate with him.

"Block it now!" Leovi instructed to hold back his final collapse.

The next moment. Some kind of strange wave of consciousness emanated, blocking out the abnormal brainwaves.

Leo suddenly felt his head clear, and his control over his body was restored, but his expression did not change in the slightest, and he still looked very sluggish.

"Now, take your sword away!" repeated the dragon in the sky a second time.

Nothing happened.

The boy seemed to have been transformed into a sculpture, and his sword-wielding hand was unusually steady, but Lexti Morvianna believed that with a little exertion, he would never get the gems again.

"Why? He had already fallen for the 'Psychic Suggestion', why didn't he react?" Doubts brewed in the dragon's heart. Although it has a mage level of up to 8. But that's just because she was born with strong mental power and advanced quickly, as for the real magic attainment, it is actually very poor. Even magic is just a few of the most commonly used.

Although he was a little puzzled, why did the dragon send orders that Leo couldn't obey one after another, but Chubby, Muraton, and Bard, the three guys who didn't understand magic, couldn't feel the dragon's deliberate suppression at all. The magic fluctuated very slightly, so I didn't know what was going on, so I did what Leo had told me before. Honestly stayed and didn't speak.

As the minutes ticked by, the dragon's patience ran out. Just as she decided to get closer and try to see if she could get the ring back, Leo suddenly smiled and said, "You also accused me once, so now we should count it as a tie?"

"What did you say?" Lexti Morviana reacted suddenly, almost falling from the sky in surprise, "You...... You...... How is it ......?"

She could see that Leo was not affected by the 'psychic suggestion' at all, but she couldn't figure out how her level 5 illusion magic, even if the effect of pressure dropping, was at least level 3 or above, and the other party was just a level 2 mage, how did he do it?

"Hehehe, it's not easy to get rid of your powerful magic, but I'm still lucky to succeed. Leo explained lightly, and then moved the dragon's anger in his hand, and once again showed his most important hole card to the other party, "You see, I almost lost control of myself and almost destroyed the ring. So you'd better stop doing it, lest I'm making a big mistake that everyone will regret. ”

Looking at the confident Leo, Lexti Morviana did begin to have very confused associations as the other party expected.

"Has he hidden his strength? Could it be that he has reached the point where he is immune to 'Psychic Suggestion'?"

"Or does he have some precious magical equipment?"

"And what is his magical equipment, and where did it come from?"

"The smell...... He does have half dragon blood!

"Who sent me to tempt me?"

At the same time, looking at the hesitant dragon, Leo, whose back was covered with cold sweat, finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he is right, and the dragon values these gems much higher than he imagined. Thinking of this, he was a little more confident that he would be able to escape this time.

Seeing that the other party was also thinking about it, Leo decided to add another weight, so he pretended to be ignorant and said: "You see, as a kind dragon, it will not hurt you to sign a trivial contract with me. You're sure to get your gems, and we're guaranteed a little bit of security, which is definitely a win-win. ”

"Hmph, win-win, I don't like that word!" Lexti Morviana glared at Leo in exasperation, suddenly realizing that something was wrong. After recalling the other party's words, her huge heart suddenly beat a few times, and she said with a little unconfidence: "Wait, you say that I am a good dragon? You ignorant human, I am a blue dragon!"

Hearing her say such a "there is no silver here", Leo's heart was settled. Of course, he knew that before this, all his guesses were deduced from clues, and there was not much rigorous basis, and the subconscious also hoped that things would be like this, so in the process of deduction, there were a lot of emotional components.

Fortunately, Lady Luck seems to be very fond of herself today, and since she guessed correctly, Leo put on a "I understand" expression and said with a smile: "I don't think that's the point of our discussion. ”

"He knows?" Lexti Morviana subconsciously looked at his body, almost thinking that there was a problem with the disguise, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Although dragons do not lose to humans in terms of intelligence, and even surpass them as they get older, they are not good at intrigue. Because in the main material plane, the race that can play with human beings does not exist at all.

But even if someone knew about it, she didn't worry too much about it, because in a large area, the things in the swamp were no longer secrets, and they were gradually being tacitly recognized. And the attitude of the other party obviously does not want to dig deeper on this point.

So in order to keep the gem and continue to maintain the source of wealth, the only option is to sign a contract with this young human.

"Perhaps, he really just wants to leave, but this is too embarrassing......" Thinking about it, Lexti Morviana began to struggle again.

One of the most elegant subspecies of the dragon branch, she was taught from an early age to keep her promises and not lose her noble character while pursuing wealth. This is also the reason why she disguised herself as a blue dragon and entered the swamp to obtain gems.

Approaching adulthood, Lexti Morviana is in dire need of a lot of wealth to give in order to get the best she needs to grow. And if you do this in your own ontological form, it will seem too unscrupulous, and it is easy to attract criticism, although everyone has done this kind of thing, but on the surface, it must be reasonable, and you can't leave too direct a handle on others. In case of displeasure in the Eternal Dragon Palace, sanctions will be issued, not to mention the acquisition of wealth, even the rite of passage, it will be affected.

Although dragons are scattered creatures, they interact with almost all other species on weekdays, except for their own families. But they also have their own fixed social activities and independent planes connected to the main material realm, and the good dragon is especially important in this regard.

And even if the communication between them is not as complex and frequent as that of humans, it is not so easy to mix easily and have a certain status. For example, if you want to become a member of the Eternal Dragon Palace, then you must guard the rules of order, have a lot of wealth, and your own strength must also reach a certain level, and the difficulty can be imagined.

It's good to say that most of the good dragons can do it, at least on the surface. But without some shady means, how can you quickly obtain a large amount of wealth? Without wealth, even if the dragon's own talent and bloodline are strong, it is quite difficult to gain further strength.

This in itself is a paradox!

That's why Vianna, who was "forced to be helpless", would "make this decision". Of course, she dared to do this, in fact, with the permission of an incomparably powerful depositor in the Lunar Empire, and the premise was that she had to pay a part of the harvest income. Otherwise, with her strength that is still a certain distance away from the legend, she simply does not have the guts to occupy the swamp, and it is impossible to easily evade the pursuit of the human powerhouse every time.

Now, of course, the best solution is to freeze this overly clever human kid into ice cubes and keep his mouth shut forever.

But the gem ...... That's all the harvest of the pit in recent times, if it's gone, and you can't pay the "protection fee", the owner of the pit will probably have to be replaced by someone else. (To be continued......)
