Casting spells

After all, although the stele is very large, it doesn't contain much content. There are only 150 symbols in total, plus [-] sentences of comparative explanations in High Valea script.

When he finished copying the last word and was about to close the notebook, he raised his head and suddenly saw two eyes that were flowing like magma staring at him.

no doubt!

The dragon wakes up...

All of a sudden, the air seemed to be frozen, and the sailors and soldiers hiding at the stairs at the back couldn't care less, turned around and ran back. Only Eric, the team leader, gritted his teeth and drew out his long sword and walked out. I have made preparations for battle, to be precise, it should be more appropriate to call death.

Because his sword is basically no different from a toothpick in the eyes of the giant dragon. Let alone whether it can pierce the thick scales that are shining with red light, even if it pierces at most, it will only cause skin trauma. It is simply a dream to kill the dragon.

But before the soldiers and sailors ran a few steps, the dragon suddenly opened its mouth without warning, and spewed out a mouthful of suffocating flames into the tunnel.

next second...

The entire tunnel was instantly filled with flames, not to mention the people inside, even the 50-meter-long rock walls on both sides melted into magma!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Cheng felt his scalp go numb. He can guarantee that his protective flame barrier would not last even half a second under this level of dragon flames.

Obviously, this dragon is an absolutely invincible enemy for him at this stage.

Just when he was about to use the blink technique to escape, the giant dragon suddenly opened its mouth full of fangs, and said in a strange pronunciation: "Ah! How many years! Finally a human has the courage to stand in front of me! Now speak your humble wish."

Although Zhang Cheng didn't understand a single word of those pronunciations, he understood the meaning inconceivably.

Most importantly, this dragon is completely different from other dragons in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. It can actually speak!

Sensing that the other party did not intend to attack immediately, he forced himself to calm down quickly, and then asked with the "common language" instilled into his brain with parchment paper: "You are the first dragon in Valea legend? The mother of dragons ?”

"Hahahahaha! That's right! I taught those poor little things how to tame the baby dragons and how to use the power of magic. I have to say, they did a good job, even a little bit beyond my expectations. But it doesn't matter Anyway, they have already received enough punishment for breaking the contract." The dragon let out a burst of laughter, which was full of sarcasm.

"Break the contract?" Zhang Cheng keenly grasped a key word.

The dragon nodded slightly: "Yes! Break the contract! I signed a contract with the leaders of Valyria at the beginning. I will teach them knowledge, magic, and techniques to tame my offspring. When the time is right, They want to grant me a wish. But unfortunately, after gaining power, these guys quickly betrayed the contract and tried to seal me forever. In fact, they have succeeded to a certain extent, just arrogance and Arrogance ends up destroying themselves.”

Speaking of this, it touched the crystal emitting strong energy radiation with its huge claws: "Did you see this little thing? It is the source of all supernatural power in this world, and it is also the nourishment I need to survive. Wa The Dragon King of Leilia tried to obtain this power far beyond his comprehension to become a god walking in the world, which resulted in an unimaginable doomsday catastrophe. Thanks to his reckless behavior, I was lucky enough to survive Today. Say your wish now, young man, and I'll make a deal with you..."

Chapter 167 The Truth

Transaction refers to the value exchange between two parties using currency and services as the medium.

Although many people claim that their transactions are fair or even win-win, in fact, the so-called "fairness" and "win-win" have never existed since the transaction was invented.

On the contrary, it is always the plunder of the strong by the weak.

If some transaction appears to be very beneficial to both parties, it must seriously harm the interests of third parties.

As many philosophers have mentioned, the nature of the world is competition, plunder and deceit, although human beings have always tried to deceive themselves, thinking that light and hope are always around, even in the darkest hours.

However, it is ironic that most people who believe that the world is beautiful and bright often do not end well. On the contrary, those who believe in the dark nature of the world are more likely to survive in a cruel environment and gain wealth and power more easily.

As a person who firmly believes that the essence of the world is darkness, Zhang Cheng does not think it is a wise choice to make a deal with a dragon whose power is far beyond his own, especially if he has not yet figured out the situation.

Because he didn't understand, since the other party had the energy crystal that was enough to sustain life, why did he continue to choose to stay in this dark underground and sleep, why didn't he choose to rush out and return to the blue sky to fly freely.

Obviously, either the dragon has some ulterior plan, or it is imprisoned underground by some force and cannot leave.

Most importantly, Zhang Cheng was very eager to know where the original dragon in front of him came from, and where did it provide the Valyrians with magical knowledge and power?

After all, according to the normal process of life evolution and development, if there is no interference of powerful external forces in a world like the Song of Ice and Fire that does not produce mysterious energy, it is impossible for dragons to survive by relying on mysterious energy magical creature.

So the dragons in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire are either alien species, or created by some powerful magic civilization that has disappeared in history...

"Why don't you talk? Don't you want to make a deal with me? Don't you want to have the handsome appearance and powerful strength of the Valyrians?" Seeing Zhang Cheng standing still for a long time, the dragon lowered its huge head. said seductively.

Maybe it looks so hideous and terrifying on the outside, but the eyes that flow like magma reveal the light of wisdom and cunning.

"I'm willing to make a deal with you!" Eric stepped forward suddenly, raised his head and shouted at the dragon.

"You?" The giant dragon glanced at him contemptuously, his face full of disdain. "Stupid human, do you think anyone is qualified to make a deal with me? I didn't directly burn you to death just now, it was already a reward for your courage, now get out of here."

With extreme anger and unwillingness, Eric took several deep breaths in a row, and finally retreated obediently to the corner.

He knew very well that he had no room to bargain at all, and it was impossible to take any revenge against the giant dragon as huge as a mountain. It would be more enjoyable than direct suicide.

Zhang Cheng, who stood silently not far away, saw everything that happened just now, and suddenly asked: "The Valyrians said that you are the first dragon in the world, so I want to know where you came from?" Come? The crimson comet?"

"Oh? Are you interested in my origin?" The dragon raised the corner of his mouth to show a hint of amusement.

"Of course! I am not only interested in your history, but also in the magical knowledge you taught the Valyrians. I think it is necessary to know about your great and glorious past before making a transaction, doesn't it?" Zhang Cheng bent down pretending to be humble and saluted.

"Hahahahaha! Interesting! You are so interesting! Do you know? For thousands of years, countless people have longed to gain power and wealth from me, but you are the first one who wants to know my origin, and at the same time And the only one. I have to say, you have successfully aroused my curiosity, can you tell me, what motivated you to want to know my origin?"

The deafening laughter of the giant dragon echoed in the empty underground, and the bubbling magma seemed to be suddenly controlled by an unknown force, and began to erupt rapidly and violently, all of which were dazzling red at first glance.

But what is surprising is that such a strong eruption did not splash a single drop on the two people who were close at hand.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is just a coincidence, a kind of luck, but in Zhang Cheng's eyes, it is a manifestation of the precise control of mysterious energy, to be precise, the energy of the fire element.

There is no doubt that Clonada possessed unusually powerful magical abilities, in addition to wit and the ability to speak that her descendants lacked.

As for what this ability is, it remains to be observed...

An Nai resisted the questions that popped up one after another in his mind, and Zhang Chengqiang replied with a calm smile: "My motive is very simple, that is to acquire all the strength and knowledge that can strengthen myself. But I am a suspicious and conceited person. Human beings, therefore, when gaining knowledge and power, hope to understand their nature, such as potential flaws and dangers."

The giant dragon nodded its huge head lightly: "Okay, I think I understand. You may not believe it if you tell me, I was not born in this world, nor did I come from the crimson comet in the sky as you mentioned. .In fact, I come from a completely strange place, and the red comet is where all the dragons in my world spawn."

"Laying eggs?! You mean..." Zhang Cheng's eyes lighted up slightly, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"Yes! You guessed it too, right? The red comet itself is composed of completely pure energy crystals. Even the radiation that usually radiates outward is enough to affect the entire world. In our understanding, it is the birth The base of powerful offspring, whenever it passes through the world I am in, the pregnant dragon will fly up to lay its own eggs, and wait until it flies back again to take the eggs down and hatch them. Only the young dragons hatched in this way are not enough Smart and strong..."

As Clonada spoke, she seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, walking around on the hot magma.

"That's why! That's why the dragons hatched in this world are like wild beasts, and they don't have any magical powers. When they were still eggs, they didn't absorb enough energy at all, so each of them is like a mentally handicapped human being." Or imbecile, right?" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and expressed his inner guess.

He finally understood why Kuro Kerba was far smarter, able to understand and execute complex orders than the three dragons hatched by Daenerys.

It's not just about the magical transformation, but the bottle of well water rich in arcane energy made up for part of the lack of energy intake...

Chapter 168 The Truth

"Hehe, you are very smart, young human. That's right, all the baby dragons born in this world are mutilated and incomplete. I don't even think they are my kind or descendants. You know, the reason why I This is the reason why I did not hesitate to agree with the Valyrians to domesticate young dragons." Clonada said as she flicked her strong and powerful tail, and hot magma was splashed everywhere.

It hardly conceals its contempt for those disabled young dragons, and at the same time has strong confidence and pride in its own strength.

Zhang Cheng was keenly aware of this, and nodded lightly: "I completely agree! The dragons hatched by the Valeas are not worthy to be compared with you. But I am very curious, since your world is so far away from here , then how did you come to this world?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Clonada immediately showed an annoyed expression, gritted her teeth and complained: "Damn it! It's all Lothar's fault! He gave me a barrel of high-quality firework wine, but I accidentally fell asleep after drinking it. Too far, when I woke up, I mistakenly regarded this world as my own world, and then flew down directly. When I found out that something was wrong and wanted to go back, I suddenly realized that the distance that the comet passed through this world was farther than my world. I can't fly that high at all."
