MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 56 Target
"Are we going to catch up?" Yuni who asked this question and Pinwei beside him were eager to try. After all, it was the first living dragon they saw during this trip. If there's a quick fix for the final material to be found on this mission, it's the one on that day.
"No, that's a young dragon, it's too dangerous for us." Cheese simply rejected the apprentice's proposal, and then slowly explained,
"Young dragons are the most energetic giant dragons. They are strong enough and hardly need to rest. The energetic young dragons can fly for a month without sleeping. So these guys basically don't build nests, and even if they have nests, they rarely use them. From their There is nothing of value to be found in the caverns. If dragons have different values at different times, it is when they are least valuable in youth."
"No wonder. The dragons in the stories always have two faces." Pinwei nodded and said softly.
The two faces he was talking about were the vitality and mobility of the dragons as powerful creatures showing their destructive side, and their old state that seemed to be able to sleep for hundreds of years. The images of these two kinds of giant dragons appear alternately in the stories of humans and other intelligent creatures, which makes people feel that dragons are very contradictory creatures. On the one hand, they can fly freely in the world, on the other hand, they are unwilling to step out of their lairs. .
"That's right. Most of the young dragons who take the initiative to deal with humans are young dragons. They are curious, reckless, and used to solving problems with strength. It is said that the most common illusion among young dragons is that they think they will find low-level creatures like plundering humans. It is a quick way to solve life problems. Therefore, the reckless behavior of young dragons often brings huge disasters or strong revenge. More than 60% of the dragons in the dragon slaying story are young dragons. Although they are strong enough, they still lack Experience. Many people think that dragons can’t speak, or that they can only use dragon language, which is also because of this. Few dragons can stand loneliness in their youth and are only interested in knowledge. But when they are old Generally speaking, we can regard adult dragons and young dragons as two species, and the former should be called dragons."
In the cognition of intelligent creatures, giant dragons are usually based on individuals. People are lucky or unlucky to have seen one dragon in their lifetime. To be able to see multiple giant dragons, and then to sum up the knowledge beyond individual differences Even more few.
Cheese's knowledge is not summed up by himself. Dragon knowledge is not a secret in the gray robe, and he also has a genuine dragon partner. If he has any doubts about the contents of the book, he can verify it immediately.
"Then what is our goal?" Although Pinwei was belligerent, he was not stupid. Can be judged by the cheese as not worth taking risks, and he will not stubbornly want to challenge the young dragon, and it sounds like the mage has already planned for this trip.
"Old dragons are our preferred targets. They tend to sleep very heavily, and their scales are relatively loose, making it easier to obtain materials. Even if there is a conflict, old dragons are easier to communicate with. But such old guys mostly live in blank spaces. In the depths of the world, we may not be able to find it. If the old dragon has no chance, the mature dragon can consider negotiating directly. There are also some dragons in special conditions, if we can find them, we can also consider them, such as those who have just laid eggs or are sick. "
"It doesn't sound very honorable." The half-demon smiled slightly. He naturally didn't have any sense of knightly honor, and he had no resistance to Cheese's proposal to find an old dragon or a dragon in a vulnerable period. And Yoni's morality has been greatly influenced by Cheese. To some extent, his moral standard is his teacher's attitude when dealing with a matter, so he doesn't think there is any problem with Cheese's words at all.
"Let me explain first that the types of dragons I just mentioned are not necessarily safer than young dragons. In fact, old dragons can be rich in wisdom and experience, while sick and spawning dragons are more violent and unwilling to communicate. To be precise, these dragons are more dangerous than reckless young dragons. If our goal is to slay dragons, then I would rather go with young dragons. But we don't need to do that, do we? Trading and taking undetected is more ideal However, the young dragon does not possess the prerequisites for using these methods.”
Cheese immediately explained Pinwei's exclamation. To be precise, he himself is the one with the most rigid morality among this group of people. After staying with the knights for too long, although the gray robe can make a judgment rationally, he still cannot help but think that the target is a dragon that is not in its heyday. There will be suspicion of taking advantage of others.
"When you put it this way, I feel that we are taking a more difficult path. I have heard many stories about defeating giant dragons, but I can't convince the dragons... To be honest, none of them."
Cheese shrugged, "Maybe it's just because stories ending with persuasion are far less exciting than fighting. And believe me, not so many people in this world have succeeded in slaying dragons. A considerable number of dragons do die of various reasons. , but humans must be the least of them.”
While the few people were talking, the giant dragon in the sky had already flown to a place where no shadow could be seen. The winged flyer didn't notice that the three villains on the ground were discussing his race without shame, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com didn't even know that they were the ones who could calmly discuss topics like dragon slaying.
"However, his appearance at least ruled out two directions for us. The dragons have a very clear sense of territory, and even relatives cannot enter other people's territories at will. Through the direction when the dragon came and the direction when it went, Our search scope can be further narrowed. There is no rule that this kind of thing must be successful once, right? If you can’t find anyone to ask, it’s okay to find a dragon with a better temper.”
Cheese also understands in his heart that if you want to reduce losses in this kind of thing, you shouldn't be too anxious. Just looking for a dragon and trying to take away the opponent's body part will definitely cause heavy losses.
But the dragons are not monolithic. The consciousness of these long-lived creatures is far stronger than that of the group. To inquire about the situation of a specific type of dragon, there is nothing better than asking the dragon himself.
Their time is not rich, but the more so, the more necessary it is to arrange their time carefully. There are indeed a lot of stories of desperate efforts and success, but there will only be more of those who hit the wall with nothing left. Now they have a lot of cards in their hands, so they can plan carefully.
"Wandering aimlessly is not the way. Set a goal first, and our next destination is there." Cheese said, raising his finger to a hill ahead.
