Twenty Sided Dice

The dragon's words hurt more than the cold wind and the sharp blade, at least Siegel had never felt his hands tremble so much. Feeling the anger in its master's heart, the familiar screeched loudly in the air, but then it landed quietly on the mage's shoulder. Siegel took a deep breath and managed to hold back his emotions.

"Do I need to feed him with my own? Does he eat a lot?" She surveyed Siegel with two differently colored eyes. From the mage's point of view, this look is very familiar, just like the slave owners of Macabuda picking slaves, but more pure. He thought about it carefully again, the customers who choose the goods in the market? Or a noble child who buys a pet? Maybe the latter is the truth.

"This is the order of the spirit of the ancestors, and you are not allowed to comment and prevaricate." Zangwill reprimanded: "If you are not satisfied, you can hand over the territory and find another place, so you don't have to keep him."

"Don't try to steal my treasure." Modesti raised her right hand, and a white flame burned between her slender and graceful fingers, and she could feel the danger it contained from a distance. "Although I rarely leave the cave, I know that it is very important to carry out the orders of the ancestors, which cannot be disobeyed by the dragons of this world. I still have important things to do, and it is still very important for me to get the rewards of the ancestors. It's important. Don't try to lie to me, I'm not a fool!"

Her eyes contained the power of the dragon, and the power of the other two dragons met in the air. The momentum of the three rose in comparison. The leading dragon Zangwill consciously directed the entangled momentum towards Siegel. He thought it would make the mage submit, but it was completely useless. The young man standing on the city wall well concealed all his emotions, leaving only the flash of wisdom revealed in his eyes. Siegel already had the idea of ​​starting a plan for the dragon, but he wouldn't reveal a single shred of it until everything was done.

"Okay, you stay." Zangwill waved his hand. Turning its neck like a lizard, it made a kabakaba sound all over its body. "We still have to hurry, so we won't waste time here."

Done. Without waiting for Modesti to say anything, the two waved their arms and flew straight into the sky. And returned to the dragon shape in mid-air, rejoining the circling team. From the sky came the sound of the dragon breathing fire, and the roar was mixed with faint laughter. Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the ground, the dragon's team continued to fly north.

In the courtyard of the Black Blood Castle, Modesti silently stared at the mage, not knowing how to speak. Siegel looked back at her quietly, rubbing his wand with his fingers hidden in his sleeves. The so-called Shengse Peak is definitely a hot territory, and the troubles it brings are likely to be much higher than the benefits. Is this the blessing of the ancient dragon Lonkragar? The mage calculated that compared with the benefits brought by the land, the magic ability used by the dragon race was what really attracted him.

After determining the target, Siegel smiled and greeted Modesti with a gentleman's manner that no one could fault: "Beautiful lady, I am Siegel Squid, the Royal Baron of the Star Kingdom, and the Federation Mage. Nice to meet you."

"Understood." The woman with different eyes nodded. After her clan left, there might be no more pressure to be watched, and Modesti's attitude was better. At least she put away Longwei and the flames that burst out of her nostrils. "According to the instructions of the ancestors. Shengsefeng belongs to you before you die, and the treasure inside...the treasure is mine, but I can show it to you...you can use it."

Across the courtyard. Siegel nodded and replied, "I don't know what the definition of treasure is? Are the minerals in the mountains and the fruit trees outside the mountains also included?"

"Of course it is!" Modesti stretched her brows and said happily: "You want those things, it's great, those are not delicious, you can take them as you like. Try to let go of the food in my cave." Then she asked carefully: "What do you humans usually eat?"

"Meat." Siegel said calmly. But upon hearing this, Modesti turned her head sharply and glared fiercely. The majesty of the dragon cannot be desecrated, and the powerful and primitive aura of the predator instantly permeates the entire courtyard. Under the protection of Priest Dawn. Most people were just shocked, but they were quickly appeased. But the soldiers in other parts of the castle were shaking and stumbling. Can't stand at all. Siegel staggered back two steps and retreated to a Dawn Paladin. This holds up.

"Don't try to eat me!" Modesti said, "Your teeth can't bite through my scales at all!"

Siegel only felt dizzy. It turned out that this was the true power of the dragon, the power that erupted naturally without restraint. But he also discovered one thing: the giant dragon in front of him definitely has a problem.

Dragons are solitary animals, and even the kind-hearted dragons think about themselves first, and then decide to engage with the rest of the world. It seems that although the legacy of the ancestor dragon is important, it does not prevent Zangwill from distorting the instructions in some way - after all, it is very difficult for a dragon to serve humans. However, he was very clever, instead of using evasion and confrontation, he put Siegel into another dangerous situation - facing a dragon who can't think and deal with common sense.

To gain any real benefit from the dragon's hands, he must know its safety boundaries, and only sane creatures have this line. For example, under Longzu's contract, will the life of the mage be protected? To what extent are there limits to what can be negotiated? These will affect Siegel's plans. But Modesti is more like a child who loses her temper. It seems that she will not act according to the common sense of ordinary dragons, but she can wield a huge sword that no one can bear. How to control this volcano that may erupt at any time and understand her temperament requires the mage to constantly test and constantly walk on the edge of danger.

Siegel noticed that after releasing Longwei just now, Modesti also had a hint of hesitation and regret, as well as a hint of real vigilance. What is the reason for this, is she really afraid? At the same time, compared to her kind of fire that made people feel dangerous from the bone marrow, Longwei's intensity was obviously too low. In the end is a reservation or a rat? Siegel thought to himself, but he had a smile on his face, friendly and calm.

"Don't be angry, Ms. Modesti, please forgive my recklessness. I didn't make it clear that we humans don't eat dragons. Absolutely don't." Siegel said: "How many people can see the real dragon family? ? Even us mages have a hard time dealing with dragons. To be fair, I am a human with only a hundred years of life. Compared to the almost infinite lifespan of dragons, it is very small, how can it be possible? And you Also know that our teeth can't bite through scales. It wasn't designed to eat dragons at all."

"Yes." Modesti put away Longwei, then lowered her head and said, "Sorry, I'm a little rude."

"It's beyond my expectations that you can stay here. Will the lack of a giant dragon affect your actions in the north?"

"It should be okay, anyway, they've been missing me for many years, and they haven't seen anything happen to them." Modesty looked around at everyone present, yawned lightly, and said, "Don't think about it from I know the dragon's actions here. You are not a dragon. I won't tell you! According to the instructions of the ancestors, the Saint Throne is yours, but if you want to take something, I must be there. Because...because , because some things are very dangerous, you will hurt the scales if you take them yourself! Can you promise this?"

Siegel nodded. Choosing a cooperative attitude is the most important first step in dealing with dragons.

She was happy with the pact she had come up with. In order not to give Siegel time to think about countermeasures, she hurriedly said: "Now arrange a room for me to rest, don't disturb me."

"I'm not the lord here." Siegel said, "I don't care about that."

"Oh, it doesn't matter what you said." Modesti nodded and pointed at a tower of the Black Blood Castle at will. Then he said, "Then listen to me, and I will live there."

Young dragons have only the instincts of growth and predation, and as they grow in wisdom they learn to create, request and cooperate. The talent that the race bestows on them is just too good. As long as it eats and rests, dragons can grow rapidly, and no other creature can do this. The cunning and wisdom that the super-large dragon should have originally displayed was miraculously not reflected in Modesti. It seemed that she didn't know how to deal with other creatures, or even some common sense.

But common sense is the baseline for safety. You can't kill because you have the common sense of killing for your life, and you can't steal because you have the common sense that you will be punished. While much common sense is meaningless to dragons, it is a prerequisite for their dealings with other "lower" races. This process of accumulating common sense allows dragons to learn manners, especially for good dragons (metal dragons). They enjoy communicating with other races, so this is an essential process. The older Shanlong is, the easier it is to get along. On the contrary, the young ones are hot-tempered, arrogant and irritable.

The best way to influence a dragon is to modify the common sense it has learned as it grows, which is much easier than tying up their powerful sexual and magical powers. According to this line of thinking. Mages have been figuring out how to educate the still-grown dragons. In history, there were wizards who invented dragon training spells, which could turn proud dragons into mounts. Later the dragons learned how to get rid of this spell, and then took out their anger at the mages guild. In the battle that swept the entire continent, the mage tower stood still, and special spells for dragons were constantly being researched. In the end, the mage considered that the short life cycle did not need to be wasted in eternal battles, and the dragon family finally shook hands and made peace considering the terrible battle damage and low reproduction speed. The dragons promised not to be the first to provoke a battle against the mage tower, and the mage promised to never use dragon training first.

But the research on the dragon family never ends.

Modesti walked into the tower on her own, and then heard a few screams coming from the building. Along with a few flashes of light, the soldiers who had stayed in the tower jumped out of the window in horror. They threw away their armor, and shed tears and urine when they were in the air. They must be poor people who were terrified by Longwei. Below the tower is a hundred-zhang abyss, and if they fall, they will surely die. With a flick of Siegel's wand, the priests had already cast the rope activation spell before the priests had finished their prayers. The long ropes that were originally stacked on the city wall to bind boxes seemed to have eyes and flew out of the city to tie the falling soldiers. Although the power of the spell was not strong enough to pull them back into the air, it was still guaranteed to hang them on the city wall.

The paladins rushed up and pulled the soldiers up. Siegel squinted at the tower, just in time to meet those two different-colored eyes. In the mind of the mage, Modesti's character is completely unformed, and there is no need to change her common sense through dragon training. Modesti has a much better influence than a grown dragon. The only question is: could this be the dragon's trick? A bad game?

After the wooden door of the "Dragon's Residence" was closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Earl Todd and Evan had a lot of things they wanted to ask Siegel, but the cold wind in the early spring made His Royal Highness start to cough, so they had to accompany him back first. Sir Bill was placed in charge of overhauling the castle's defenses. Seeing Janet approaching Siegel, Kerry the Giant smiled and decided to come back later.

"Are you all right?" Janet's eyes stayed on Siegel's face. Seeing some water droplets that were about to freeze on the forehead of the mage, he stood on tiptoe and wiped his sleeve. "That's a dragon~www.readwn.com~ Don't fight against her. No matter how good the Sanctuary is, your safety is more important."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Siegel said: "Although the dragon is powerful, it is not impossible to communicate."

"It's too dangerous. When I saw her eyes, I was very scared, but when I saw her staring at you, I was even more scared." Janet said: "Although she is now in human form, she has something in her bones. Nearly twenty meters long."

Siegel reached out, touched the kitten's face, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll pay attention."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade the mage at all, Janet was also very helpless. When Modesti appeared, she instinctively felt a threat. Not for her safety, but for her place in Siegel's heart. Different from the "first-time" mage, Kitten is very clear about the common things in the relationship between men and women between nobles, and knows how attractive women like Modesti are to men. The relationship between her and Siegel adhered to the theory of "cherish what you can't get", and now she suddenly found herself in a cocoon. For mages, dragons are more challenging than demons, and maybe they will get more "cherished"?

She stood behind Siegel, biting her lower lip, thinking about what to do. (To be continued)
