Chapter 11: The First Pot of Gold
In fact, shortly after birth, the young dragon will fall into a one-day sleep.
During this slumber, the young dragon can completely absorb the nutrients from the outer shell of the dragon egg, causing the vital organs of the young dragon to begin to grow.
This is also why in Gordon's personal panel talent list, except for the [Big Stomach King] at the beginning, the others are all single-digit one.
Other talents don't start to grow automatically until the dragon's first slumber.
......
Under a dry channel in the sewer, rocks, dead wood and garbage are piled up wantonly, forming a small hill that is difficult to overcome.
Beneath an unknown garbage heap, there is a small space made of broken wooden planks and stones.
A black dragon and a white-haired girl under the age of ten were sleeping soundly on a wooden door panel that had been missing a corner.
The concealment here is good, but even the monsters that are common in the sewers rarely hide in this kind of river.
First, because the space capacity is not suitable for a tribe to live in, it takes a lot of manpower to clean up.
But tribes with such manpower will not choose to build nests in such rivers.
The second is that it stinks so much that without water, the silt of the river will resurface, and it will sway its own smell wantonly.
I don't know how many years of decay and garbage precipitate the thick fishy smell, and you can't help but smell it.
And this is exactly the best hiding place that Gordon has specially selected from Nina's oral knowledge of the sewer environment, and there is no one.
Not far from the sewer where we used to live, there is also this natural odor barrier.
In addition, even if there is a pile of rocks, it is still easy to find a space that can accommodate a young dragon and a human girl, and it is very convenient to hide.
Isn't that optimal, what is it?
......
When Gordon awoke from his slumber, he found himself holding on to something.
It's very soft and loose, he can easily break free, Gordon didn't think too much, and directly broke free by inertia.
His original posture was curled up, and as soon as he broke free and stretched, the movement brought by him naturally woke up Nina, who was sleeping with Gordon in her arms.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at Gordon who woke up, and the whole person was down.
There was also excitement in the voice that could not be concealed, and there was also some stammering.
"Song...... You're awake, you're awake, I'm ...... I thought you were going to sleep for a long time. ”
"Oh, I didn't mean that, your body smells so good. ”
"No, it's ...... That's not what it means. ”
Nina became more and more confused for a while, and her words were a little incoherent.
In the end, he could only lower his head, and his short silver and white hair was drooping, without saying a word.
A schoolboy who did something wrong was caught red-handed by his parents.
"Nina, how long have I been asleep"
Gordon didn't care about the gibberish of the girl in front of him, but asked the broodborn girl who had just met.
Nina was relieved to see that Gordon was not angry at her previous dishonorable move, and then hurriedly said.
"Mr. Gordon, you have slept for about a day, and it is now night in the dark streets of the ground. ”
"It's also the time when those monsters are most active. ”
She added, obviously, tonight, there is no small movement on the river.
No, it's better to say that this is the norm in the sewers.
As for the time, it was all judged by Nina from the moonlight that was missing from the manhole cover not far away.
Of course, if it weren't for Gordon's presence, Nina would have curled up in a ball in fear and shivered, so she wouldn't have had the heart to look around.
After all, this place is not far from the range of the nezumen, and every time Nina hears the sound of dense footsteps, her heart hangs in her throat, for fear that she has found their traces and has come to the river to catch her and Gordon.
But fortunately, at the end of the day, there was no danger.
"A day. ”
Although Gordon has already been told in the Dragon's Legacy that the dragon's sleep will only last one day.
But he still asks routinely, after all, he is unconscious when he sleeps, and his judgment can only be judged by external objects, and Nina knows more about this than him.
"Yes, Mr. Gordon. ”
"And the things you gave you yesterday, do you still have them, Nina?"
Gordon raised his head and spread his long-closed wings, stretching his stiff limbs, tail, wings, and skull, as he asked Nina.
"It's all here!"
Nina pulled out a small bag from her rag skirt, which contained the sixth tail vertebrae that Gordon had taken from the rats when she left yesterday.
The tail vertebrae are no more, no less, exactly seven.
The three-foot-long jade bones of the bright white looked a little pale and pale under dark vision.
The tail vertebrae of the giant rat are the casting material, and Gordon learned from the Dragon's Legacy.
God knows why there is so much supernatural knowledge in the Dragon Inheritance, causing Gordon to automatically emerge after just one look
Can be used as a medium to summon animal companions, and is moderately spiritual, but cheaper and more common.
It is a material that new mages, druids, and warlocks always have to carry with them until they have mastered the talent [Spellcasting Exemption].
Originally, Gordon was not a mage, a warlock, or a druid, so naturally these materials were not needed, and he didn't bother to collect them.
But before leaving, he saw Nina eating rat meat like a starving ghost reincarnated, and her dress was tattered.
Naturally, what is the most important thing to integrate into the other world?
Money? No.
It's resources, and resources need someone to get them.
And Nina, who is in an embarrassment in front of her, is the best target at present.
After all, he only knew this person, but Nina's current performance still made Gordon very satisfied.
Although he looked delicate and weak, he did everything he told him to do, and he did it very well, not to mention that he could survive in the sewers for so long, and he must still have two brushes.
In terms of people, Gordon thinks he rarely looks away.
And to win over people, it is natural to make her surrender willingly.
This is not a rhetorical cannon that can be tamed by words, but it requires real action.
Money, but it is an unavoidable obstacle at the moment, it can eat soil when it is hungry, but Nina can't, her teeth are not so good.
However, it is still a young dragon that does not have enough to eat and is incompatible with human society, and it is difficult to get money.
But for Gordon to survive in the sewers of Calando, and to live well, Nina's help is essential.
Unless he left Karando and went to the wilderness, he would only have to think about what to eat for today's meal and what to eat for the next meal.
But the wilderness is not safe, jackals, trolls, and ogres are not uncommon in the wilderness, and many humanoids also have measures to enslave real dragons, such as frost giants will enslave young white dragons, or hunt.
True dragon cubs are a piece of fragrant bread in both human society and in the wilderness, and as long as possible, someone will come to try it.
Therefore, the tail vertebrae of these seven giant rats are Gordon's idea of letting Nina exchange it for the first pot of gold, and then slowly figure it out.
"Wait for the dawn, you do what you say, go to the alchemy shop in the civilian area, there should be this collection. ”
"Well, yes, Mr. Gordon. ”
Retracting the pouch, Nina nodded heavily and put the bag away.
After patting through the linen cloth and feeling the clattering touch, Nina seemed to be relieved.
"Then you can get some rest. ”
After Gordon finished explaining, he naturally saw the exhaustion on Nina's face, she lived in a frightened environment all day.
It would not have been possible without stress and fear, but now Gordon can do it.
It's just for her to get a good night's sleep as soon as possible and replenish her spirits.
"Good night, Mr. Gordon. ”
Nina readily agreed, and then she found a corner, curled up in a ball, and closed her eyes.
In the sulphur-smelling air, Nina slept peacefully, especially knowing that Gordon had woken up.
Gordon saw Nina fall asleep, but nothing happened.
He clicked on the personal panel, intending to see what changes had been made to his talent list after this sleep.
And, that pretty good pay
He didn't use the eleven first-order talent fragments yet.
The next second.
The pale blue data light curtain reappeared in Gordon's retina.
