The young copper dragon showed a sly smile: "It's not that I knew you were coming, but that you have been trying to find out about me recently."
"So, you are waiting for me here?"
"The seductive dance of the harpy is quite rare. It's rare to appreciate it once. It's a pity that I won't have the opportunity to appreciate it in the future." The young copper dragon let out a long yawn and said, "Look at how happy I am chatting with you.
For the sake of it, tell me, what exactly do you want to see me for?"
"Of course it's cooperation." Gavin didn't beat around the bush, "I'll help you solve your troubles, and you'll serve me for a hundred years."
Gavin fully explained what it means to take advantage of others' danger and what it means to open your mouth like a lion.
"Serve for a hundred years? How to serve? Do you care about the food? Is there any salary? Do you need to be a mount? Do you need to go into battle?" Although the young copper dragon is not very old, he is an out-and-out little fox.
, once you get started, you will pick out some core issues and figure them out.
Gavin was also prepared, and he opened his mouth and said: "Food and lodging are included, and there is an annual salary. There is no need to be a mount or go into battle. Of course, if necessary, the remuneration will be calculated separately."
No matter what happens, let’s deceive him first. After the two parties get along for a long time, Gavin will have many means to change the other party’s mind. Capitalists use this trick to deceive workers.
"How are the food and accommodation conditions? Are there any entertainment projects? How much is the annual salary?" The young copper dragon is obviously not so easy to fool.
"When the time comes, I will definitely build a residence according to your requirements to ensure your satisfaction, provide a joke or joke show every day, and earn an annual salary of one hundred thousand gold coins." Gavin promised, patting his chest.
"One hundred thousand gold coins?" The young copper dragon's eyes turned into the shape of gold coins, and Gavin could hear a clear swallowing sound.
Let alone adult dragons, even for most juvenile dragons, one hundred thousand gold coins is not a large amount. Their treasure troves are often several times this amount.
But for a young dragon, especially one that has never seen its parents since birth and is chased by a red dragon all year round, it is not a small number.
In other words, she has never seen so many gold coins in her life.
"Pay first?" Although he was moved, the young copper dragon still had many questions.
"Pay first!" Gavin nodded. Here in the dragon, there is no such thing as paying later. At least the dragons he knew before had this kind of virtue. It has nothing to do with good or evil. Greed is their instinct.
The source of their survival.
"Are the jokes or joke programs new? Are there no duplicates?"
"New ones, nothing the same." In Zhang You's memories of that life, there are still many memories about this thing, enough for Gavin to dig out for a while and survive the most difficult period. The rest can be left to professionals.
, there is no shortage of bards in Faerûn.
"When you are a mount, how is your salary determined for battle?"
"One thing is certain."
"Where are the spoils of war?"
"Half for each person."
"No, it's too little. Nine-one points, I have nine points and you have one point."
"Impossible, no more than four or six."
"Twenty-eight."
"Sanqi, it can only be Sanqi. I paid for you to fight."
"Okay, let's just say three to seven." The dragon is always a lion and will only eat the biggest one. Seven belongs to the dragon, and three belongs to Gavin.
The young copper dragon is named Ivinsa. He is a lonely dragon. He has never seen his parents since he first opened his eyes.
This situation is not unique.
Some dragons are not ready to become parents, so they just abandon the eggs after laying them. Such irresponsibility is common among colored dragons, and most of the metal dragons are just adults.
Some giant dragons are more dangerous to keep dragon eggs around because of their own situation. It is better to leave them alone in the wild to survive alone - don't question the dragon's ability to survive in the wild. Most dragons are born with
Wild dogs are still big, and many are even as big as lions. They can run when they hatch and fly on the same day. They have good teeth like tigers and are not afraid of cold food. Even bushes, weeds, metal, earth and rocks can still fill their stomachs when necessary.
Some are parents who have already encountered misfortune.
It is unknown which type Iwensa belongs to. She is a typical optimist. She believes in drinking today and getting drunk in the future. She doesn't care at all, at least on the surface. Anyway, she lives a good life, as before and in the future.
Ivinsa's old enemy is a young red dragon named Roderick, a cub who has just left his parents' nest to make a living. The place where he built his nest happened to be near Ivinsa's nest, and the fight between the two started.
, lasted for less than half a year.
"Leader Gavin is back...he...he brought back a giant dragon, a real dragon."
"It's really Lord Dragon, a real dragon."
"I've seen Lord Dragon..."
When Gavin returned to the Eagle Cliff cave with Iwensa, it was no exaggeration to say that the weasel had entered the henhouse.
Wherever Iwensa walked, shaking his head, the kobolds knelt down, trembling, and most of them couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
Including those Erds who were extremely brave when facing the harpy, the situation was similar. The only ones who could barely say a few words were Chester and Buck. They were all excited and didn't know what to say at all.
This kind of suppression stemming from bloodline is basically unsolvable - unless you already have a dragon master.
At first, Iwensa was still shaking his head, looking like a superior adult, but soon he became a little impatient with this almost despicable compliment, and muttered to Gavin: "I told you before, don't come over, you
Look, they all look like this, it’s not interesting at all, it’s better for the two of us to continue playing brain teasers, or have a cross talk, that’s very interesting.”
"No, today's joke has already been told." Gavin refused without hesitation. He can't access the Internet now. The things stored in his mind are limited after all, and the copper dragon's demand for this is unlimited.
We must not set a precedent.
It was agreed that it would only be one item a day, and he would only find ways to help reduce it, and would never increase it.
Ivinsa is obviously also a master of calculation, and he said carefully: "When did you tell today's joke? We were just chatting before, and I had not accepted your employment at that time? It doesn't count, it definitely doesn't count."
"It was true that it didn't count before, but when we were discussing commissions, we once mentioned a joke about a greedy rich man. That one was forgotten." Gavin recalled it for her.
"What? That was our normal chat, how could it be counted?" An incredulous expression appeared on Avin Salon's face.
"As long as it's a joke, it doesn't count. I just go there every day and tell you a joke."
"Professional businessmen, black-hearted profiteers, such things will not be counted in the future." The young red copper dragon said, "Don't think I am easy to bully."
"This must be calculated." Gavin was also unwilling to be outdone.
Although I really want to pretend to be a mature adult, due to age and personality constraints, Ivinsa still reveals a strong childishness in many aspects. This feeling will become stronger the longer we get along.
Thinking about it, she is only thirteen years old now. Even if she was born, she has an IQ comparable to that of an adult. The dragon's genetic genes have given her some survival knowledge, but she has spent most of her life in the rocky wilderness.
Spend time alone.
Occasionally, when I meet some intelligent beings, most of them tremble when they see her, fearing that she will eat them in one bite. They either keep complimenting them or find ways to escape, instead of communicating on an equal footing like Gavin.
Compared with ordinary jokes that have no beginning or end, this little dragon has a soft spot for sketches and other programs, and fantasizes that she is a comedy lyricist. When she thinks about it - a common thing -
— just humming a funny tune loudly and continuously.
Gavin used the dragon's power to control the kobolds, but he didn't really change his job as a dragon nanny.
After arranging a small team of kobolds to take charge of Ivinsa's daily life, Gavin managed to escape.
With Ivinsa in charge, the attitude of the kobolds in Eagle Cliff Cave towards Gavin was obviously different.
Seeing that Gavin didn't continue to hang out with the baby dragon, Chester sneaked up to him, with a flattering smile on his dog's face that was the same as Goss's: "The first time we met, I knew that Gavin
Leader Wen is not an ordinary person, but he didn’t expect that his methods would be so extraordinary. In just the first meeting, he had such a good relationship with Lord Dragon. I wonder how many days Lord Dragon will stay here? Is there anything we can do for you?"
"From now on, Mr. Ivinsa, accept my employment." Gavin certainly knew what the other party was thinking, and said truthfully, "I will be stationed in Heijing in the future, but before that, I promise to help Ivinsa solve the problem."
Do you dare to do her trouble and slay the dragon?"
The Yingya Didong Clan leader's face suddenly fell, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Chief Gavin, don't you want to play with me anymore, slaying the dragon? Look at our situation. When they see the giant dragon, everyone either kneels down or...
After running away, let alone slaying a dragon, I think being slain by a dragon is more like it."
The dragon's suppression of the kobold's bloodline is too serious. This suppression far exceeds that of tigers and lions on prey such as sheep.
This suppression comes from two aspects - psychological and physical.
Psychologically, they worship dragons and believe that they originate from dragons and have an inseparable relationship with dragons. When encountering dragons, their instinct is to think about how to serve them instead of fighting against them, no matter whether the dragon is good or evil.
.
Physiologically, after encountering the giant dragon, their blood flow and speed changed. Their spirits became excited, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and they had the urge to kneel down.
Fortunately, Ivinsa is still a young dragon. If there were adult dragons and ferocious auras that had awakened special skills, the situation of the kobolds would be even worse.
This is the biggest and most fatal flaw of the kobolds.
But if you use it well, you can also use it for yourself, such as raising a baby dragon yourself.
Gavin smiled secretly and said: "Whoever said slaying a dragon must be head-on and tough. I will come up with a plan, and all you have to do is help me dig holes and dig traps. Maybe in the end, you won't even be able to stand in front of the dragon.
You can't even touch it."
Even if the opponent is a young red dragon, it is still a giant dragon. The killing area of a dragon's breath, with three fireballs on top, can be used at least five to six times a day, and one can be used every half minute.
Even if you tie all the kobolds in the Black Well and Yingya Cave together and want to kill each other, it is still a delusion, and being slaughtered by the other party is more like it.
yes.
Who said that to slay a dragon, you have to face the dragon face to face?
It's absolutely possible to use some traps, and Chester himself can think of many suitable traps, but he can't guarantee whether he can kill the dragon.
Especially if the young half-elf in front of him is responsible for the operation, Chester believes that the other party will have more tricks to play.
Hearing that his tribe was not going to fight the dragon desperately, the chief of the Yingya Didong tribe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Whatever Chief Gavin needs from us, we will do our best to cooperate."
People are selfish creatures, and kobolds are no exception.
Just look at Chester and you will know that if they are really asked to slay the dragon, they will not refuse to do it, but the prerequisite is that they are not allowed to fight tooth and nail to face the giant dragon.
Unless Gavin is really crazy and lets the kobolds face a real dragon, according to their current moral character, they will definitely turn against them and point their guns at themselves, not only in the Eagle Cliff Cave, but also in the Black Well.
This is also likely to be the case for kobolds.
Gavin has the confidence to reform them, but that will be in the future, not now. For now, they still follow their physical and mental instincts.
Having said that, if you ask a group of farmers to slay a dragon, they won't do it, and the situation won't be any better than that of the kobolds.
Slaying a dragon is something that requires great courage and wisdom.
"When I finish the plan, you will be busy." Gavin's plan is still being brewed. At least he has to see the young red dragon with his own eyes and assess the opponent's strength before proceeding. He head towards the dragon without thinking.
The dragon slayers who hide in the dragon's lair are all idiots. In the end, they all become the shit in the dragon's lair, and their equipment becomes the treasure in the dragon's lair.
The assessment task was very simple. She only needed to provoke the young red dragon as usual. She didn't even need to provoke him, she just needed to pass by from a distance, and the other party would bite her fiercely and refuse to let go.
"Chief Gavin, I thought about the alliance thing you mentioned earlier. Afterwards, I thought about it seriously." Chester mentioned the old story again, "I think our pace is still too conservative and should be bigger."
"Oh?" Gavin looked very interested, "Why are you so good at your steps?"
Regarding the alliance between the two kobolds, Gavin had previously brought it up to Chester at the celebration banquet.
The old fox grunted with an ambiguous look, saying that although the Eagle Cliff Cave had solved the problem of the harpy, it had also suffered serious injuries. Everything must be carefully considered, starting with mutual trade and reciprocity.
Step by step.
As a result, within half a day, his attitude changed completely.
Of course Gavin knew why the other party changed, and he wouldn't point it out.
"I have heard about the Black Well from Buck. Although leader Gavin is not a kobold, what he does is actually to benefit the kobolds. The current life of the kobolds in the Black Well tribe is
Many kobolds live a life that they cannot even imagine.
The Eagle Cliff Cave can solve the problem of harpies, thanks to the leader. Without the leader, we alone would not be able to completely drive them away, let alone kill most of them. I can't thank you enough.
Many, I believe the leader is tired of hearing this.
If given the chance, I would also like to lead the people in the underground cave to live the same life as Heijing.
But after tossing and turning for half a night, I realized that I simply didn't have the strength, even without the harpy on Eagle Cliff.
I can't let the kobolds in the cave live the same life as the Black Well tribe.
I am getting older and can no longer keep up with young people in all aspects.
Therefore, I want to abdicate and let Chief Gavin serve as the supreme leader of Yingya Cave. Of course, this does not mean that I will leave everything to the leader. This old bone of mine should be able to be used for two years, as long as I still have breath.
, I will definitely do my best to assist the leader."
The words of Chester, the leader of the Yingya Didong Clan, were true and touching.
If these words had been spoken at last night's celebration banquet, Gavin might have been truly moved and regarded him as a good patriarch who thought about the entire tribe.
To say it now is nothing more than a politician's face that he can act according to the prevailing circumstances.
Seeing that the momentum was not going well, instead of waiting for the other tribesmen in Yingya Cave to be seduced away by Gavin with a baby dragon, it was better to take refuge before then. At least the initiative was in his own hands.
