MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 108 Wait for the dragon to come
The dragon may come tomorrow, or it may never come. Cheese still remembered that when he left Valley City, Migo was in a state of injury, and the injury from the same race made the red dragon enter a certain kind of weakness.
People in the world often think that dragons have a strong recovery ability, which is wrong. The more delicate and solid something is, the less likely it is to be damaged. Relatively speaking, it is not easy to repair after being damaged. If organisms are also applied to this concept, organisms with relatively easy-to-replicate structures such as earthworms and crabs have amazing regeneration capabilities, while humans cannot restore damaged limbs.
The same is true for giant dragons, they will not be harmed easily, but once they are seriously injured, the recovery time may be calculated in ten or even a hundred years. It is not uncommon for wounded dragons to spend centuries dormant in their burrows.
But the life tenacity of giant dragons is also recognized. If you don't kill a dragon on the spot, no matter how serious the injury is, such as destroying two-thirds of the heart, or cutting off four-fifths of the head, as long as you He didn't die on the spot, so the giant dragon can basically assume that he won't die from his injuries.
The surging vitality of the dragons allows them to survive serious injuries and various adverse conditions. Death is extraordinarily merciful and cruel to these ancient creatures.
Don't forget, their recovery speed is very slow. During that long recovery, the wounds will torture the dragon all the time until they recover or go crazy. People say that giant dragons hold grudges very much, and it is only natural to look at it now. Hundreds of years of pain have made their hatred as fresh as if it was forged in the last second, and it is incomprehensible to forgive.
So cheese is not worried about Migo's life and death, he is just a little uncertain about the extent of Red Dragon's injury, and worried that he will not be able to fly half of the Panbei continent to pick him up. This is also the problem of the new Dragon Calling Flute. Because the old Dragon Calling Flute directly uses a part taken from Cheese and Migo, it can not only call the Red Dragon, but also become a communication device between the two. Now this new If there is neither, only relying on the fact that the whistler is cheese can send the call to Migo's ears. This made it impossible for the gray robe to grasp the opponent's current situation.
"In short, let's stay here for a few days. I will continue to call that guy for a few days to let him realize that this is not an illusion. In this way, at his speed, we can get here in about ten and a half months. If not, we will go another Think of ways to."
The cheese put away the dragon-calling flute, and explained to Pinwei and Youni how this magic item that took so much effort to make would work. Of course, the dragon-calling flute made by Cheese is not as simple as he said. When equipped with dragon blood, it can be used as a magic item to exert the power of a dragon. Its functions include and do not It is limited to producing small-scale dragon's breath, making the player temporarily have certain characteristics of a giant dragon, and transforming dragon blood into life energy to heal the player, but these are not its main functions, so there is no need to explain them one by one.
Perhaps the fatigue of this journey finally paid off at this time. The apprentices and half-demons immediately relaxed after hearing the confident declaration of the gray-robed mage.
Yes, the cheese didn't say that the dragon would definitely come, he also said that it was possible to find another way. But in view of the prestige of the gray robe at this time, the method he thought could be realized was almost certain to come true in the eyes of the other two. Besides, even if that weak unfavorable situation happens, they can no longer ask themselves to continue to maintain a high mental state. Fatigue doesn't go away by itself, the moneylenders always come.
"So we are going to build a residence here next, and it is best to build a hut. Considering the surrounding environment, it is more appropriate to clear some trees. Pinwei, you should still have the strength to cut trees, right? Remove the trunk, roots and foundation Leave it to me to handle."
"No problem sir." Cutting down a few normal-sized trees may not even count as physical labor for Pingwei. They are physical monsters that can fell giant trees with the efficiency of a human lumberjack, and uproot them if he wants to. It is not impossible to build a big tree.
The half-demon casually took out the butcher knife he had hidden in his hand, and under the smelting of the flames, its shape gradually transformed into a felling axe. This is an ability that Pingwei has never demonstrated before. Presumably it takes too long to change the shape of the weapon, and it lacks practicality in actual combat.
"Teacher, what about me?" Youni's eyes were exhausted, but he didn't want to be a burden, so he took the initiative to ask the gray robe, hoping to do something. In a sense, this is also the apprentice's trust in the teacher. Youni believes that his teacher will not force others, and will definitely give instructions within his ability based on his current situation.
"Since we're going to stay for a few days, it's best to get food locally. You already have some basic knowledge about the habits of wild animals and the identification of plants. Since that's the case, I'd like to entrust you with the task of collecting food from now on. Can you do it?"
The task given by the cheese is really not complicated, and other mage apprentices cannot afford the task of collecting food for three people at this age. But Youni, who has the most research on animals and plants, can do it. He has the qualifications and reserves to become a hunter, but what he lacks is experience and experience.
Youni set off to collect food, and Pinwei sorted out the wood and site needed for building the house in twos and threes. The next thing to do is simple. Cheese used magic to rectify the land, speeding up the process of integrating the stakes and roots into the earth, and obtaining a soft and easy-to-construction soil. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Then he asked the half-demon to use a log horizontally on the ground, pushing and rolling it around a few times. Strange to say, the ground that was pressed by the logs became flat and firm, and could be used as a reliable foundation. During the whole process, Pinwei didn't see any obvious spell-casting action from Cheese. He didn't know what this meant, he only knew that the gray robe at this time was closer to a certain image of fear or admiration than before.
"We can make it simpler. Do you need design drawings? Or do you already know how to build human buildings?" Cheese confirmed whether the foundation was qualified, then turned to Pinwei and asked him what help he needed.
The half-demon shrugged, "Leave it to me. It may be too late today, I will simply build a shed. Before sunset tomorrow, we will have a house we can live in for a long time."
Just before nightfall, Yoni came back with a wild boar on his shoulders. According to the apprentice, he used weaving magic to make a strong knot, and then combined the knot with bait to make a trap, and then caught the prey. As for the means of ending the wild boar's life, it is self-evident to look at the wound on its head.
"It's very dangerous to kill a wild boar from the front, well, generally speaking." Pinwei said unconsciously when confirming the ingredients, but soon discovered that the fatal blow almost shattered the wild boar's skull. This power is not something that Yoni can use by himself.
"I didn't do it myself. I made a bell trap and hit it on the head with a stone from the front." The apprentice was a little worried about whether his handling method was correct, because it is said that the way of killing the prey will affect their value.
The half-demon shrugged and expressed a little surprise at the answer, then turned to Cheese and said, "Maybe you should consider changing to a builder. Obviously making traps is not so different from building houses."
