Chapter Ninety-Four: [Now, Is That Enough!]
Rika Island, on top of a rocky cliff.
Gordon's voice was mixed with the sound of the waves crashing, and it sounded slowly.
"So you got here because of a shipwreck caused by a storm not long ago?"
"And then you hundred beasts are kept on this isolated island by those fish-man monsters, who demand that you pay tribute to the females for reproduction?"
"And you, you're chosen as a tribute to the creatures of the sea, and you're going to be caught in the sea by them at night?"
Gordon adjusted his lying position, and the sunlight was a little dazzling, causing his vertical pupils to squint slightly.
It asked in a thoughtful tone as it looked at the girl in front of her, who had returned to her normal human form.
These are the summaries of information that it says from Luvia's mouth.
"Yes, Lord Gordon!"
Luvia said timidly, nodding vigorously.
Although she found that the real dragon in front of her was not incapable of communication.
But the fear in her heart had not yet dissipated, and she was still afraid, lest she would die under the dragon's claws if she was not satisfied with her answer.
She can't die now!
"And the gods you are talking about are really gods?" asked Gordon again.
"Luca is a creature with countless octopus-like tentacles, and it was the one who brought us here during that storm, and we were all going to sink the ship, but with its help, none of us died......"
When Luvia said this, she hurriedly waved her hand, but her expression was extremely complicated, and she didn't know whether to be happy or resentful.
She went on to add.
"So we called it Luka, which means patron saint in bestial language, but it wasn't long before we found out that we couldn't leave the place, and the fish-like creatures called themselves Luke's servants and wouldn't let us go. β
"I've tried to light a bonfire and use black smoke to attract other ships to come to the rescue, but there are so many reefs here that merchant ships won't choose this route at all, and even if a ship sees it, they will avoid it from afar. β
"And we build our own rafts and want to drive the boat out of here, but without exception, we will be destroyed by those monsters in the sea!"
"No one can go back to shore"1
Speaking of this, Luvia's expression was a little gloomy, obviously among the beasts buried at the bottom of the sea, there was something she was familiar with.
"That is, this is your first sacrifice?
Gordon looked at the cat-like girl in front of him who was dressed in clothes similar to that of human society, and asked curiously.
"No, it's the third time this month. β
Luvia shook her head, her expression a little miserable.
"Then you can't resist, and even if you can't resist, at least you can dodge! Those fish-turned people can't have your agility on land. β
Gordon continued to ask.
"We naturally refused at first, but they have powerful spellcasters, and after chanting spells, they can not only let those fish-turned people walk freely on land, but also release powerful and terrifying spells, and Uncle Roma, whom I know, was directly petrified into a sculpture, and after that, no one dares to resist anymore......"
There was horror in Luvia's eyes, and her voice behind her was a little distorted, and it was clear that the caster had caused it quite a nightmare.
But Gordon did know that those fish-turned people could actually go ashore, wouldn't that be it?
Gordon turned his head to look at the surface of the sea where the blood had not yet dissipated, and there were ripples under the water, and it was clear that there was a creature hovering there.
But there was no fear in its eyes.
It's an amphibious creature of land, sea and air, so how can you be afraid of them!
It's a big deal to flapp your wings and run away......
"So, Lord Gordon, will you not eat me, if you eat me, they will surely ask us to continue to offer sacrifices. β
Luvia pleaded tentatively with her head down.
She didn't even dare to look up at Gordon for fear of angering the real dragon in front of her.
"Of course that's fine! I'm not interested in you!
"But can you let those little things in the jungle come out? After eavesdropping for so long, you should come out too!"
Gordon smiled harmlessly, and even the hideous fangs were retracted.
It had already spotted a few watching eyes in the forest behind the cliffs, but it had been listening to Luvia.
Too lazy to pick them out, now it's time to discuss business, and naturally need to talk about it frankly.
"Ahh
Luvia looked incredulous when she heard Gordon's words, she didn't even notice that someone was watching in the jungle.
A panic in my heart, it won't be .....
Sure enough, as her gaze scanned, there was a rustling sound in the jungle.
Not long after, three feline creatures of different colors sprang out, both with gray-yellow fur and one snow-white.
They are not very large, four feet long and three feet tall, about the same as the large dogs of the previous life.
I only heard the roaring, provocative sound coming out of their mouths, and the fluent and immature lingua franca came out of their mouths.
"Sister!"
"Sister Luvia, don't be afraid!"
"Damn Black Dragon, let go of Sister Ruvia, or I'll ...... you"
However, before the gray-furred cat could finish speaking.
Luvia, who was driven to transform into a large brindled cat, was slapped to the ground and turned into a soil-eating shape.
There was a sound of "Hmm~" coming out of his mouth.
The four paws are also unconsciously digging the soil and grasping the grass.
"Lefain, Coent, and Nanali, didn't I let Uncle Diricor watch you? Why did you come here anyway! I told you you weren't allowed to come!"
Luvia looked at the three of her kind, who were obviously a head younger than her, and asked with an angry look on her face.
"We sneaked out while Uncle Dirico wasn't looking! Sister, I won't let those disgusting monsters take you!"
"I don't want to lose you!"
The white cat with snow-white hair leaned in and explained, and at the same time hung two paws on Luvia's other forelimb, her eyes full of reluctance.
"Yes, yes, Sister Ruvia, I'm not going to look at the monsters in the sea and drag you into the sea!"
The other cat, who had not been held down by Luvia, also stepped forward, licked its paws, and glanced at Gordon obliquely, apparently ready for battle.
"Nonsense!
"You have no idea how dangerous this is! And Lefain, apologize quickly! I don't allow you to be so rude! Lord Gordon has no ill will!"
Luvia let out an angry "meow" as she first let go of the paw that was holding the cat.
The amber vertical pupils stared at the newborn calf in front of him, who was not afraid of tigers, and reprimanded loudly.
Gordon did not coerce her into doing anything except verbally intimidating at first, and there is no doubt about it.
"Sister Ruvia, really?"
"Of course!"
Lefain scratched the clod of dirt on his chin and looked at the hideous black dragon with a puzzled look.
However, it was not an impolite beast, and after receiving Luvia's affirmation, it quickly recognized its mistake.
So it lowered its head and walked up to Gordon.
Said sincerely.
"I'm sorry, Lord Zhenlong, I misunderstood you!"
"It's fine!"
"But I'm curious, where does your courage come from?"
Gordon looked curiously at the little gray cat.
This is the first time I have seen such a weak, unadvanced creature dare to provoke it.
Although it didn't use the Roar of the Young Dragon, this kind of courage was unprecedented.
"I don't know, I just want to protect Sister Luvia from harm......"
The young male said timidly, apparently seeing Gordon up close, and his legs were already a little weak.
Whether it is the hideous fangs, the sharp claws, and the thick scale armor, it is enough to breathe people's hearts.
"Alright, go and call the people in your clan who can do business, if you want to save your sister Ruvia. β
Gordon waved his paws, signaling to hurry.
The gray cat, named Lefain, hesitated, but was about to ask Luvia's opinion.
The sound of rustling in the jungle is increasing.
A group of gray cats or brindle cats that are gray and larger than Luvia have come out of the forest, and they are members of the Cat Man clan who have rushed to hear the news.
After hearing the information that the same person in charge of spying on Luvia was passing on the Black Dragon.
In order to hurry, they all became bestial.
Among them was an old cat with gray hair who came out of the group of cats, and it was the elder figure of the clan.
Still, it looked at it with doubt.
How could a dragon come to Rika Island, or a young dragon, what do you want to do?
But it asked respectfully.
"May I ask Your Excellency True Dragon, is there anything we can do to help you?"
It didn't want to provoke the hatred of a real dragon, but chose to see what Gordon wanted first.
If they just offer food, they can still get a lot of food.
As long as they don't leave, the fishers won't care about them fishing off the coast.
"They've me off! I want to teach them a hard lesson about what true dragon wrath is!"
Gordon raised his paw and pointed to the ocean where the ripples had not yet dissipated.
"So, tell me everything you know!"
"But Lord True Dragon, they not only have powerful fish-turned human warriors, spellcasters, but also human crabs with strong flesh. β
The double chela of that thing can easily clip off our waists.
And you're not their ......
The old cat looked a little hesitant, obviously Gordon's strength was not enough to convince it.
Although Gordon has been strengthened several times, it is still a relatively large dragon.
After Gordon heard this, he no longer hesitated.
Directly dismantle the seven first-order talent light clusters [Dark Vision] x2 and [Long Weapon Mastery] x1 [Underwater Breathing] in the panel, and all the talents that are useless to it.
All of them are assigned to the two skills that will best improve their combat power.
[Robust] :(16/20)-(20/20)β
γHigh and Robustγ:(1/25)
[Health]: 46/46-50/50β
[Dual Weapon Battle] :(2/5)-(5/5)β
Dual Weapon Mastery :(1/10)
Gordon only felt that an incomparably powerful force seemed to suddenly surge out of his body, rampaging through it, not painful but rising.
The muscles under its scales also changed, and the bones made a clicking sound.
Coupled with the fragments of deeper memories of the dual-weapon battle shattering in his mind, Gordon was completely immersed in the thrill of rising strength.
Then when it opened its eyes again, it saw that its field of vision was a little wider, and the cats were much smaller, to be exact, much taller, from seven feet in length to ten feet.
The muscles beneath its black scales are about to come out!
Stand upright, supporting yourself with your now strong legs, spreading your wings on either side.
The eight-foot-tall figure standing on the foot, with the wings on both sides, obscured most of the sunlight in front of the cat-shaped person.
Gordon's dark golden vertical pupils looked down at the stunned cat-like man below, and said indifferently.
"Is it enough?"
On the stone cliff, there is silence.
