"You are hopeless. Remember to buy a tomb first so that you don't have a place to bury yourself when you die."
At some point, when the doctor says this to you, it is not that you are hopeless, but that...
“If you want to survive, don’t be stingy with the medical fees.”
And if you are really hopeless, I'm afraid they won't say anything in front of you, and will either inform your family members or try to blame others.
When negotiating, similar techniques are also used a lot.
First, make the problem as serious as possible and raise it high. If you are frightened, you will naturally accept all the blackmail-like conditions that follow.
I was used to using this kind of negotiation skills 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 their incarnations have begun to move freely in the outside world, it is almost impossible to put them into sleep 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 to go back to sleep?
Although I don’t know who placed the seal back then, it was able to seal a race with a self-balancing plane, at least at the level of the Goddess of Chaos and the Goddess of Order. However, there were loopholes in the perfect seal he arranged, and he wanted to repair it.
, how difficult it is.
"In the past, the seal was like a precision door lock arranged by a master craftsman. Now part of the lock is broken. If you want to repair the lock, you, a guy who is not skilled in craftsmanship, must first understand the structure of the lock. It is best to have a lock.
Design the drawing, and then remove it and revise it. Of course, the easiest way is to just add a lock next to it."
According to this idea, if you want to repair the seal again, you must first unlock the seal, but the world is already 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. Titan
If you can break the old seal, the new seal will be easier.
So even though all branches of the dragon clan have racked their brains and searched through the past books, they still can't find a solution. Now when they come to a human mage for help, they actually don't have much expectations.
But in this situation, I said so bluntly that I couldn't do it, which was almost like saying, "Although you invited me to come, you are still hopeless."
The person who invited him smiled triumphantly even though he couldn't help him. He said it was natural. Horus was stopped for a moment, and it took him a long time to say a word.
"You are very sincere."
"Of course, honesty is a virtue, but telling lies at will that will be seen through doesn't care about morality, but is pure stupidity."
Lies can indeed achieve a lot of benefits in some cases. But according to my experience in dealing with Xiaohong, when dealing with dragons, especially when dealing with old dragons, it is stupid to use lies to deceive, except that they like to constantly detect lies for themselves.
In addition to spells such as True Seeing, what's even more terrible is that this big lizard that relies on instinct often has amazing intuition, and can judge whether the other party is kind and lying just by intuition.
But if there is really no other way, there is no need for me to come.
I swung the wine glass, and through the blood-red color, the scene in front of me was like a dream.
"...Although they will wake up, this space is destined to collapse. There are no other ways. 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 to achieve requires
The price paid is also quite high..."
----------
After Horus and I finished talking, or should I say, finished fooling around, the welcome banquet naturally came to an end, but it was already a starry night outside.
I did not follow their invitation and settle at the location arranged by Dragon City. Instead, I chose to return to the Northern Lights anchored 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 valuables hanging on your body and you happen to end up in a group of professional bandits.
"...Professional robber? If you belittle the Dragon Clan like this, Ainmetheus (Xiaohong) will be very upset if he knows."
"No, if she really knows, she will only praise it proudly. After all, she was the female dragon who wrote the manual of reasons for robbery. In her mind, robbery is also a skill, and she herself is this skill
The master of."
While walking on the streets of Dragon City, I admired the priceless jade buildings, and then said bad things about the Dragon Clan.
"...Don't mention it, they were like this back then. They simply regarded robbery as a normal occupation. Color dragons had no scruples. Even metal dragons often did similar things, but they often used them to fight against evil.
An excuse. But in the end, all the wealth of those 'evil people' disappeared."
"Oh, for a long period of time, they have been the boss of the main plane's individual combat power. No one will care about them when they do bad things. Unchecked violence will naturally get out of control, just like a domineering child with no one to control him.
Yes, it’s normal to treat other people’s things as your own.”
When Heloise and I walked on the road, in addition to constantly attracting the attention of onlookers, we also attracted a lot of "followers", but as we walked, the followers disappeared.
The previous events have made us a mobile bomb in the eyes of the Dragon Clan. In order to prevent us from causing trouble, naturally there are people following us secretly to drive away those uninvited guests.
And even though we knew that someone was following us secretly, we still spoke ill of the Dragon Clan without any scruples, and even deliberately amplified our voices.
"Go back now?"
"Of course not. It's a rare occasion and I also plan to visit the night view of Dragon City."
"Traveling around with a bunch of tails? Do you like being treated like a monkey so much?"
"Of course not, so let's change our clothes."
I randomly found a corner and wandered in, and suddenly a series of traffic accidents appeared behind me, and when they appeared again, they were no longer the same two people.
The red full-coverage armor carrying a giant heavy sword, coupled with the strong aura of dragon veins, is not uncommon in this city.
For some reason, this kind of warrior whose face is deliberately invisible has become the mainstream. After all, the awakening of the dragon vein brings power while still maintaining an acceptable appearance. Those pure-blood dragons are the lucky ones.
You'll always judge people by their appearance. It doesn't feel good to be treated like a bastard.
As for the most common detection spell? I'm immune to it from the start.
And when I passed by the panicked follower, the heavy sword turned into a black cat jumping on my shoulder. She rolled lazily and scratched the cat's beard. It seemed that this gesture was
She is most comfortable.
"Where to go? Rob the dragon treasure house? Or steal more dragon eggs?"
"...I'm not a giant dragon, and I don't have that hobby. Besides, if something happens again now, wouldn't everyone know that it was us? Let's go and see what the dragon clan hides."
"Hidden things?"
"Well, didn't you find that this city is too peaceful?"
"You mean... giant?"
I nodded. In Helent's memory at that time, there was a war between giants and dragons. I didn't think they would defeat all those difficult giants in a short period of time. Even if they won, they would definitely suffer heavy losses. I
I hope to get an actual understanding of the actual combat power of those giants. It would be better if there were battle reports between the two races.
"Why don't you want the Dragon Clan to lead the way? No matter what, we are all allies now."
"...will you let your 'allies' see your vulnerability?"
"……Too."
But it is a pity that although we searched very hard and followed the paths of healing and drinking water, there were still no traces of the injured dragons.
"Even if you are a dragon, you will definitely need a lot of water and medicine after being injured. It seems that you may not be here."
"...Where will it be, on the front line of the battlefield? There won't be another Dragon City. Hey, why are you meditating so seriously? I'm just talking casually."
"No, I can't say it's really possible. I don't think those dragons would expose their true core so easily."
We two envoys talked while walking, and from time to time we looked at the roadside stalls, trying to pick up a few rare treasures and so on... What? Are we not doing our jobs? We are just doing our jobs. Don't diplomats all have concurrent jobs?
Are they spies? Seeing as we are still collecting public sentiments from the other side, are there people as dedicated as we are?
"...It seems that you are thinking of something very rude. Normal diplomats are not all spies and spies. They are responsible for the relationship between the two countries. They work very hard."
"...Hmm, well, it's a bond of trying hard to test the background of the other party's underwear, and then inciting the other party's people to take to the streets, and finally trying to sponsor the opposition in the other party's country. It's really a hard-working bond."
Although there is still no huge gain, but chatting and talking nonsense, my mood has improved a lot along the way.
"To be honest, if the situation allows, I really want to trade with the dragon clan. After all, every dragon is a treasure house. The accumulation of so many resources is really worth a glimpse."
"...How to trade? The Dragon Clan doesn't lack anything."
"Hmph, they are short of a lot. Haven't you noticed that life in Dragon City is very monotonous? There are not even casinos, brothels, and bars in normal cities. And even if they don't lack anything, can't we create consumption?
You can't make money by eating, drinking, and having sex."
"You mean?"
"Don't look at Xiaohong's unattractive appearance. In fact, she attaches great importance to her scales. She goes to take a volcanic bath every once in a while and oils her nails regularly. It is said that if she doesn't take care of her for a long time, the scales will decrease.
Combat power."
This is not nonsense. Human nails are dull and cracked, which is probably a bit ugly. If the dragon's claws are used to grab the nails and break them, the opponent will probably laugh out loud. The volcanic bath is rich in minerals and fire elements.
, can make the scales of the red dragon become more
Being energetic and hard is also the only way to enhance defense capabilities. Of course, after taking a volcanic lava bath, the scales on the body will shine for a period of time. This is also one of the reasons why the red dragon and the silver dragon fight against the volcano. It is said that the silver dragon
The dragon is also the most beautiful among the dragon clan...
"You see, those mothers have a lot of trouble with their little dragons. She can turn into a human form, but the baby is bigger than her and difficult to manage. We can provide baby storage services so that they can go shopping happily. Well, we can also sell necks.
Encircle them and let them take their young dragons for a walk."
"...Why does it sound like a human pet shop?"
"Ahem, don't worry about this little thing. Besides, in addition to those traditional services, we can do beauty and manicure here. Look at how monotonous the color of their wings is. Either red or blue. There is only one color.
We can provide color tattoo services, such as embroidering a big tiger, lion, etc."
"...Not to mention how awkward it is to have a tiger head embroidered on a giant dragon. One of the wings on the giant dragon is red and the other is white? Does that count as a red dragon or a white dragon?"
"Yeah, yeah, Heloise, you are such a genius. You reminded me. This is a really good idea. We can also provide services for transforming other dragons. For example, if you are annoyed by the black dragon, you can just apply a layer of it.
The gold color can be used as a disguise on the dragon's head and wings, pretending to be a golden dragon. This way it will be 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 if you really do this, you will probably be hunted down by all the dragons, especially the golden dragons."
"By the way, you
Chatting is probably the best way to relax. Frankly speaking, Dragon City still puts a lot of pressure on me. After all, anyone who sees the holy steps on the street with legendary or above combat power will tremble, let alone the reception banquet.
That group of dragon elders. The weakest one who can reach that position is an ancient dragon, no worse than an ordinary epic powerhouse, and the strongest... there are at least five or more targets that I can't see at all.
To be honest, I conservatively estimate that it has surpassed my heyday.
"The Dragon Clan is really blessed. These golden bloodlines are so cheap. As long as the weakest in adulthood is the gold-level combat power, they can crush ordinary legends with a little training, while humans can only reach the top of silver after a lifetime of training."
"...By the way, since they are so powerful, they must have lived a good life during that period of 'history'."
But I just shook my head.
"Basically, he was like a mage. He was a pig teammate in a sleepwalking state for the first half of the game. He thought he could stay out of the situation again this time. By the time he realized something was wrong and fully joined the battle, the battle was already about to collapse."
"Same as the Tower in the Cloud?"
Only then did I remember that I didn’t seem to have told Helois about the Kingdom of Mage’s extremely bad report card in “history”.
"Well, actually, the last thing is overconfidence in their own strength, which makes them accustomed to sit back and watch the changes in the outside world. They feel that everything is just a passing cloud, a short-term heavy rain, and when they find themselves being sucked into a deep quagmire and unable to escape,
, it will be difficult to get up again. You didn’t realize that whenever I talk about the Holy War, that Horus will either pretend to touch his beard and giggle, or make a mistake to make it clear that the Dragon Clan still intends to stay out of the matter this time."
"...What happened to the Dragon Clan in history?"
"It's nothing, it's just that big trees always attract the attention of others. They were turned into bone dragon legions by the undead, slaughtered by evil gods, parasitized by insects, and cooked and eaten by giants. Later, the scattered dragons were even connected to the human empire.
All the warships had to go around. Of course, they still joined the coalition in the later period, but they suffered heavy losses, and several branches were completely extinct."
"Oh, so this is still a prophet? Will the Dragon Clan be so miserable in the future? Can you tell me in detail?"
What surprised me was that the "person" who intervened in the mental link conversation between Heloise and I was behind me.
I turned around suddenly, only to find that it was a seemingly young snow elf, with a short body that was not as tall as my lover, and a very cute little face like a red apple.
"How is it possible? How can the conversation of the spiritual link be eavesdropped?"
While his face was full of surprise, he held the white rose in his sleeve in his hand. His face was still pale with shock, but deep down in his heart, he was seriously considering the information that could be leaked, and was considering the possibility of killing people and silencing them in Dragon City.
"...Young people these days are really scary. They always want to kill people and silence them. Don't worry, young people, I come with good intentions. Please put away your rose. I'm too old to bear it.
scare."
The little Shota-like snow elf speaks in an old-fashioned way, and is obviously an old monster. Those silver-white eyes that look unusually pure have actually seen through everything.
"The old man's name has been forgotten by the world. You can call him Sam, the ancient white dragon. Counting it, he should be the grandfather of the white dragon you killed before. By the way, do you want to paint the white dragon into a golden dragon?
How much should I charge? Can I owe the debt? The old man is very poor." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
