Chapter 346 True Dragon (Part 2)
…
Earlier.
Olina received a new job: to go to the villa to assist Xia Fan in researching dragons.
This kind of research work is undoubtedly much easier than burning the city walls at a designated time and place. She just needs to lie down on the ground, spread her wings, and cooperate with the other party's measurement and observation.
"The body length is about ten meters. If you include the tail, it can reach 20 meters. The wingspan is almost the same. In terms of the size of a living thing, it is already very large." Xia Fan said while measuring. Since the unit of meter has not yet been popularized in this world, he directly took the distance between his two steps as one meter. Although it is not very accurate, it is still enough to measure a behemoth like a dragon.
"If you want to use my size and ability to measure the power of the Holy Wing Islands, you are totally wrong." Olina snorted and said, "The strength of the dragon will increase with age. , As long as you don't enter your old age, your improvement will not stop. It's completely different from ordinary people who are strongest when they are young."
"How long do you usually live?"
"A hundred years, or even higher."
In an era when the average life span of ordinary people was generally only thirty to forty-five years old, this number was quite astonishing. "In other words, it is similar to that of elves?"
"Huh, elves just live a long life." Olina was quite disdainful. "Their peak period usually ends in their twenties and thirties, which is similar to humans. In addition, I advise you not to interact with those elves. Deal with them, their blood is poison, and if you take them in, they will leave a legacy sooner or later."
"Are you starting to think about Jin Xia now?"
"..." Olina was speechless for a moment, "Do you want to hear it or not?"
Xia Fan smiled and said, "By the way, how do you give birth to offspring?"
As he comes into contact with more and more monsters, he has realized one thing - although monsters can be regarded as aliens in the human group, the specific circumstances of each monster are somewhat different. For example, the people of the World Island can make most of their descendants take the form of elves. Even the "half-elves" who have no ability to sense energy will have long pointed ears.
Another example is Olina in front of her. She calls herself Dragonborn. In addition, eight out of ten nobles in the Holy Wing Islands are dragons, which means that they also have a way to stably inherit their bloodline.
"When dragons combine with dragons, their offspring must be dragon descendants." Olina moved her body. "Only those destitute people who have been reduced to the point where they can no longer maintain their families will combine with ordinary people. Impure blood will lead to a greatly increased chance of dragon descendants. Lower, but this is also the easiest way for ordinary people to become nobles.”
"A down-and-out family..." Xia Fan looked her over.
"What are you thinking!" Olina opened her mouth and said, "It is impossible for me to taint my own bloodline! The Okan family has not completely declined, Hera will protect us-"
"Um?"
Olina's voice suddenly dropped, "Of course there is your help... The Okan family will not forget this kindness."
At the end of the sentence, she almost gritted her teeth.
Xia Fan recorded the reproduction method in detail, "The fox demon can have two forms: getting bigger and smaller. Can you transform into a little dragon?"
"Of course not. A fox is only that big, how can it be compared with a dragon?"
"Fortunately, Li is not here." Xia Fan curled his lips.
"Even if she is here, I will not change my words." Olina said proudly.
Xia Fan automatically ignored this sentence, "There is one last test," he put away his notes, "Do you mind a manned flight?"
This question stunned Olina for a moment.
Is he asking about his feelings?
By the way, this is the East. The etiquette knowledge she accumulated suddenly came into play - perhaps in the eyes of the other party, riding on her might be a rude behavior. After all, people in Qi State pay attention to social distance, and their bodies rarely come into contact, let alone between opposite sexes.
But in my hometown, this is not a big problem. Although the Dragonborn is a noble, sometimes he will carry goods from others for convenience. In their eyes, it's just like lifting an object. If the friendship is good enough, the Dragonborn will also take the initiative to take people to the sky to let their partners enjoy the joy of flying.
Just when Olina was about to express that she didn't mind, a thought suddenly made her shut her mouth.
This may be an opportunity to take back a city from the opponent!
Thinking about this, she showed a conflicted expression, "...do you regard me as a cow or a sheep?"
"Of course not, I just want to test your load-carrying capacity." Xia Fan coughed twice, "Since you don't want to, I won't force you..."
For some reason, Olina's heart skipped a beat.
She left the castle and came to the unfamiliar Qi Kingdom from the Holy Wing Islands. She was forced to act by the pressure. The Holy Envoy standing at the door of her home and the retreating figure of her younger brother all added weight to this pressure.
Don't force yourself...I haven't heard this for a long time.
But now is not the time to lament. We must not be lax at all when dealing with cunning people! Olina turned her huge head to Xia Fan, "If this experiment is very important... I can't condescend. But the corresponding compensation..."
Xia Fan understood instantly, "I can privately subsidize fifty taels of silver for this experiment."
Fifty taels!
In this way, she can buy a lot of food and send it to Miss Yu to learn cooking, and at the same time save another forty taels of savings!
"Then I'll reluctantly agree to it."
Olina felt a sense of joy. She finally won a point from her opponent, and let the despicable Central Plains people suffer a hidden loss. Although the results were not outstanding, it was a revolutionary step.
The test was carried out in the sky above the suburbs.
Xia Fan prepared a special "seat" for this study, including a set of fixed ropes and leather saddles, so as to ensure that when Olina was flying at high speed, he would not be blown off by the wind.
The main content of the test was undoubtedly load and speed.
Xia Fan wanted to know the fastest flying speed of the dragon when carrying one to four people. These data would not only be useful to Jinxia, but also be able to have a good idea when facing the Saint Wing Islands in the future.
After flying around the suburbs of Jinxia twice, he began to let Olina gradually increase the speed. At this moment, a golden light passed in front of him-
In astonishment, Xia Fan saw another dragon.
This dragon had no wings, a slender body, and three pairs of claws under its body. It was difficult to understand why it could soar into the sky based on common sense alone. At the moment when the two met, the other party was obviously staring at him - the pair of golden vertical pupils reflected his figure, and the thin beard even brushed against Olina's head; and on its head there were two blunt horns like deer antlers, plus the golden scales, it was exactly the same as the creature in the myth!
The dragon girl did not expect that an uninvited guest would appear in the vast sky, and she was so scared that she almost spit out fire. But the latter was faster. Almost in the blink of an eye, it swept up the biting cold wind and a lot of snowflakes straight into the sky and disappeared above the dome.
