"You can't be saved, remember to buy the tomb first, so as not to die without a place to bury."
At some point, when the doctor says that to you, it's not that you're out of luck, it's that...
"If you want to survive, don't be stingy with money."
And if you are really helpless, I am afraid that nothing will be said in front of you, either notify your family members, or try to intervene.
When negotiating, this similar technique is also used a lot.
First, put the seriousness of the problem to death, and hold it high, and if you are frightened, then all kinds of blackmail-like conditions will naturally be accepted.
I used to use this negotiation technique in the past, but this time, I didn't lie.
"... The collapse of this plane is unstoppable. Now that the Titans have awakened, and even the avatars have begun to move freely outside, it is almost impossible for them to fall asleep again."
Yes, when a person has woken up from a long sleep and is even ready to get up, is there any way to get him back to sleep
Although I don't know who made the seal back then, it can use a self-balancing plane to seal a race, at least it is the existence of the goddess of chaos and order, and there is a loophole in the perfect seal he arranged, and I want to fix it. , how difficult it is.
"The seal in the past was like a precision door lock arranged by a master craftsman. Now the lock is partially broken. If you want to fix this lock, you must first understand the structure of the lock. It is best to have a lock. Design drawings, and then remove them to revise. Of course, the easiest way is to add a lock directly beside it.”
According to this line of thinking, if you want to repair the seal, you must first unlock the seal, but the world is over, and the so-called easiest way to deal with it is just to put a new seal on the appearance of the seal, which is meaningless. Being able to break the old seal, the new seal is even easier.
Therefore, even though all the branches of the dragon race have racked their brains and rummaged through the ancient books, they still can't find a way. Now they come to the human mage for help, but they don't actually expect much.
But in this case, I can't do it so bluntly, it's almost like "Although you invited me to come, you are still helpless."
The person who asked for couldn't help but smiled triumphantly, saying it as a matter of course, Horus was blocked all of a sudden, and it was only after a while that he could say a word.
"You are very sincere."
"Of course, honesty is a virtue, and to tell lies that will be seen through at will, is not moral, but pure stupidity."
Lies can indeed get a lot of benefits in some cases, but according to my experience with Xiaohong, dealing with dragons, especially with old dragons, it is stupid to cheat with lies, except that they like to constantly detect lies for themselves, In addition to spells such as True Seeing, what is even worse is that this kind of big lizard that relies on instinct is often surprisingly intuitive, and can judge whether the other party has good intentions and lies just by intuition.
But if there is really no way, I don't need to come.
I shook the glass, and through the blood-like red, the scene in front of me was like a dream.
"... Although they will wake up, for example, this space is destined to collapse, and there is no other way. We can completely delay the time for the other party to wake up, and there are even ways to prevent the collapse. Of course, which step we need to do, we need to pay. The price is also a lot…”
…
After I finished talking with Horus, or I should say flickering, the welcome banquet also naturally came to an end, but it was already late at night with the stars shining brightly outside.
I did not settle in at the location arranged by Longcheng according to their invitation, but chose to return to the Aurora Borealis, which was moored outside the city, and wait until dawn tomorrow for formal consultations.
After all, sometimes it's better to be a little more careful, especially when you have all kinds of treasures hanging on your body and you end up in a den of professional robbers.
"...professional robber? Ainmethius (Xiaohong) would be very upset if you belittle the dragons so much."
"No, if she really knows, she will only like it proudly. After all, she is the mother dragon who wrote the robbery reason manual. In her mind, robbery is also a skill, and she herself is this skill. Master."
Walking on the streets of Longcheng, I admired the priceless jade building complex, and then spoke ill of the dragon race.
"...Don't say, they were like this back then, they regarded robbery as a normal occupation, and chromatic dragons had no scruples, even metal dragons often did similar things, but they often used things like fighting evil. Excuses. But in the end the wealth of the 'wicked' was gone."
"Oh, who said that for a long period of time, they were the bosses of the main plane's individual combat power. If they did bad things, no one would care. Unchecked violence would naturally get out of control, just like undisciplined arrogant children. It’s normal to take other people’s things as your own.”
And when Heloise and I walked on the road, in addition to attracting the attention of bystanders, we also attracted a lot of "followers", but the followers disappeared as we walked.
What happened before has made us mobile bombs in the eyes of the dragons. In order to prevent us from causing trouble, naturally someone followed in secret to disperse those uninvited guests.
Even though we knew that someone was following in the dark, we still spoke ill of the Dragon Clan without any hesitation, and even amplified our voices deliberately.
"Go back now?"
"Of course not. It's a rare visit. I also plan to visit the night view of Longcheng."
"Walking through the streets with a bunch of tails? Do you like being treated like a monkey so much?"
"Of course not, so let's change another dress."
Wandering in a random corner, a series of traffic accidents suddenly appeared behind them, and when they reappeared, they were no longer the two people just now.
The red full-coverage armor carrying a giant epee, coupled with a strong dragon vein, is not uncommon in this city.
For some reason, this kind of warrior who deliberately makes people invisible is the mainstream. After all, the awakening of the dragon veins brings strength while still maintaining an acceptable appearance. Those who are pure-blooded dragons are lucky. The same will judge people by their appearance, and it does not feel good to be regarded as a bastard.
As for the most common scouting spells? I was immune from the start.
And when I passed by the panicked follower, the epee turned into a black cat pounced on her shoulders again. She rolled lazily and scratched the cat's beard. She is most comfortable.
"Go there? Robber the dragon's treasure house? Or go to steal more dragon eggs?"
"...I'm not a dragon, and I don't have that hobby. Besides, if something happens now, wouldn't everyone know that we did it? Let's go and see what the dragons are hiding."
"Hidden stuff?"
"Well, didn't you find the city too peaceful?"
"You mean... giants?"
I nodded. At that time, Helent's impression was that there was a war between giants and dragons. I don't think they would take care of all those intractable giants in a short period of time. Even if they win, they will definitely lose a lot. I hope I can actually understand the actual combat power of those giants. It would be better if there are battle reports between the two races.
"Why don't the dragons lead the way, anyway, we are all allies now."
"...will you let your 'ally' see your weakness?"
"… Too."
But unfortunately, although we searched very hard, and followed the path of healing and drinking water, there were still no traces of those injured dragons.
"Even if it's a dragon, it will definitely need a lot of water and medicine to supplement it after being injured. It seems that it's not really here."
"...Where will it be, the front line of the battlefield? There won't be another Dragon City. Hey, what are you doing in such serious contemplation, I'm just talking about it casually."
"No, maybe it's really possible. I don't think those dragon races would reveal their true core so easily."
And the two of us envoys chatted while walking. From time to time, we also looked at the stalls on the roadside, trying to pick up a few rare treasures or something... What? Are we out of business? We are just doing business. Aren't all diplomats also serving as spies? We are still collecting each other's opinions. Are we so dedicated
"... It seems that you are thinking something very rude. Normal diplomats are not all spies and spies. They are the ties of the relationship between the two countries. They are working very hard."
"... um, um, trying hard to test the bond of the other party's underwear background, and then fanning the other party's people to take to the streets, etc., and finally trying to sponsor the opponent's domestic opposition. It's a really hard bond."
Although there is still no huge gain, but chatting, nonsense, and feeling a lot better along the way.
"To be honest, in fact, if the situation permits, I really want to trade with the dragon family. After all, every giant dragon is a treasure trove. The accumulation of so many resources is really worth a glimpse."
"... How to trade? Dragons don't lack anything."
"Hmph, they are in short supply. Don't you realize that life in this Dragon City is very monotonous? There are not even casinos, brothels, and bars in normal cities, and even if they lack everything, can't we make consumption? Eating and drinking Lazard, that way you can't make money."
"You mean?"
"Don't look at Xiaohong's inconspicuous appearance. In fact, she attaches great importance to her scales. Every once in a while, she runs to take a volcano bath and polishes her nails regularly. It is said that if she does not care for a long time, it will decrease. combat power."
This is not my nonsense. Human nails are dull and cracked, which is probably a little ugly. If the dragon's claws are pulled out and the nails are broken, it will probably make the opponent laugh, and the volcanic bath is rich in minerals and fire elements. , it can make the scales of the red dragon more energetic and hard, and it is also the only way to enhance the defense ability. Of course, after washing the lava bath, the scales of the whole body will shine for a period of time. This is the sum of the red dragon. One of the roots of the silver dragon robbing the volcano, it is said that the silver dragon is also the most beautiful among the dragons...
"Look, it's so troublesome for those mothers to bring Xiaolong. She can transform herself into a human form, but the baby is bigger and more difficult to manage. We can provide baby storage services to let them have fun shopping, um, and they can also sell their necks. Circle them and let them walk on a leash with their young dragons."
"… how does it sound like a pet store for humans."
"Cough, don't worry about this little thing. Besides, in addition to those traditional services, we can do beauty and manicure here. You can see how monotonous the color of their wings is, either red or blue, there is only one color, We can provide painted tattoo services, such as embroidering a big tiger, lion, etc."
"... Not to mention how awkward it is to have a tiger's head embroidered on the dragon. One wing is red and the other is white? So is it a red dragon or a white dragon?"
"Hmmmm, Heloise, you're a genius, you reminded me, it's a really good idea, we can also provide services to transform other dragon races. For example, if you're bored with the black dragon, you can paint a layer with it. Gold, and then disguise it on the dragon head and dragon wings, pretending to be a golden dragon. This way, it is much more convenient to rob, who would always be on guard against a golden dragon with a 'full sense of justice'."
"...Don't say it, I think you really do this, and it is estimated that you will be hunted down by all the dragons, especially the golden dragons."
"Right, you."
Gossip may be the best way to relax. Frankly speaking, Dragon City still gives me a lot of pressure. After all, anyone who sees a holy-rank, legendary or higher combat power in the street will tremble, not to mention the reception banquet. The group of elders of the dragon clan is now able to achieve that position. The weakest one is an ancient dragon, no worse than the ordinary epic powerhouse, and the strongest one has at least five goals that I can't see through at all. , conservative estimates are beyond my heyday.
"The dragon family is really blessed. These golden bloodlines are simply too cheap. As long as you are the weakest in adulthood, you are at the golden rank. With a little training, you can crush ordinary legends, and human training is a lifetime of silver to the top."
"...By the way, since they are so powerful, they should have had a good time in that 'history'."
I just shook my head.
"It's basically the same as the mage. The first half of the journey was a pig teammate who was sleepwalking. I thought I could stay out of it again this time. When I found out that the situation was not right and participated in the full battle, the battle situation was about to collapse."
"Same as Cloud Tower?"
I just remembered that I didn't seem to have told Heloise about the terrible report card of the Kingdom of Mage in "history".
"Well, it's actually the same thing. It's all overconfidence in their own strength, which makes them accustomed to watching the changes in the outside world, thinking that everything is just passing by, a short-term heavy rain, and so on when they find themselves caught in the quagmire and unable to escape. , it will be difficult to get up again. You didn't realize that when Horus talked about the holy war, he would either pretend to be smirking with his beard, or make a mistake, making it clear that the Dragon Clan still intends to stay out of it this time."
"... What happened to the dragon race in history?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the big tree attracts the wind and always others miss it, being turned into a bone dragon army by the undead, being slaughtered by the evil gods, being parasitized by insects, being cooked and eaten by giants, and later, scattered giant dragons even connected to the human empire. All the battleships are going around. Of course, they still joined the coalition in the later stage, but they have suffered heavy losses, and some branches are directly extinct."
"Oh, so this is still a prophet? Will the dragon race be so miserable in the future? Can you tell me in detail?"
And what surprised me was that the "person" who inserted the dialogue between me and Heloise's psychological link was behind me.
I turned around abruptly, only to find that it was a seemingly young snow elf, with a short body that was not as tall as my lover's, and a very cute face like a red apple.
"How is it possible? How can the dialogue of the mind link be eavesdropped."
While his face was full of surprise and inexplicable, he held the white rose in his sleeve in his hand, and his face was still pale with shock, but his heart was carefully calculating the information that could be leaked, and he was considering the possibility of killing people in Longcheng.
"...Young people these days are really scary. They want to kill people at every turn. Don't worry, young man, I'm here with good intentions, please put away your rose, the old man can't stand the fear of being too old. ."
Xiao Zhengtai's ordinary snow elf speaks in an old-fashioned manner. It is obviously an old monster. Those pair of silver-white eyes that look extremely pure have actually seen through everything.
"The old name has been forgotten by the world. You can call the old Sam, the ancient white dragon. After all, it should be the grandfather of the white dragon you killed before. By the way, you can color the white dragon into a golden dragon. How much? Can I owe a debt, this old man is very poor."
