Chapter 1,391 Conflict 1
What does Murphy's Law say? It’s too complicated so I won’t go into details. In short, whatever you are afraid of will come to you.
For some unknown reason, a group of two dragons carried a pair of dragon wings in human form and flew over Lin's ship.
Here I have to mention the structure of dragon wings and the principle of dragon flight. First of all, the wings of dragons are not like the wings of birds. They can fly into the air without relying on the pair of bat-like wings to swing up and down to create updrafts to support their huge bodies.
The fact that dragons can fly is related to magic. There is no doubt that floating is magic. How high you can float basically depends on how brave you are. Even if you are a magic apprentice, there is no problem if you want to float out of the atmosphere. Whether you can reach it depends on whether you can survive after arrival.
Forward, it relies on a set of air-exhausting organs at the base of the wings to eject air from the lungs and propel itself. Without moving in any direction, it can at least break through the sound barrier, but it is uncertain how many times the speed of sound can be reached.
The main function of wings is to glide and change direction and flight posture. Sometimes the wings are flapped to blow up strong winds to hinder or attack enemies. This action can also add wind element magic, making it even more powerful.
Three relatively basic functions work together to form the dragons' ability to fly flexibly in the sky. This also means that the dragon can do many actions that birds cannot do, such as hovering at a certain position in the air like a helicopter, and there is no need to vibrate its wings as busy as a hummingbird.
Now, a group of middle-class people turned into dragons and floated around the ship. They also spread the wings on their backs to the limit, just like bluffing umbrella lizards, desperately trying to expand their area and intimidate their enemies. And because they are in mid-air, they can overlook everyone on the ship, which invisibly gives them a certain advantage and sense of superiority.
However, Lin complained in his heart, if he wanted to scare people by size, why not use the original dragon? Isn't that bigger? Is there any special purpose behind using human appearance to despise people? Someone is thinking.
"Dragon slayer, right?" The man who looked like the leader, floating in the air, turned into a dragon and stumbled in the common language of the Lost World. It can be seen that it is actually not familiar with this language.
Before considering how to deal with this group of second dragons, Lin first cast his sights on the dock, the group of noble officers of the naval fleet. Some of them avoided the direction of the boat, while others looked over happily, as if they were watching a good show. Lin had seen before that it was this group of officers who took the initiative to greet the Zhongerlongs who flew to provoke someone, and spoke to each other, which led to what happened now.
During the previous voyage, Henry had hinted that there was another backer behind the naval fleet. But he was not sure whether the navy would pose a threat to him. So at the beginning, Lin hid his identity in the fleet. But the battle with Kraken and what happened after that exposed his identity.
So now it seems that the backer of this naval fleet is either the prince who is just a child, or other radical nobles who are targeting the empress. Otherwise they won't be so keen on causing trouble for themselves. The reason why they remained calm before was probably because the performance of Kraken's combat power temporarily deterred them from any additional thoughts. Now it's just right to use the dragon clan's help to do things.
To take revenge on them for this level of trouble? But seriously speaking, even if the positions of the two sides are not antagonistic, it is normal for them to inform Longdao of their existence. Because my relationship with these marines is not so good that they would take the initiative to hide it.
Besides, if he appears here, normal people will realize that there is something abnormal inside. If the naval fleet of the Karlsruhe Empire did not want to be implicated by a certain magician, it would be very reasonable for them to pick themselves out first.
So, does someone deserve to be betrayed? Well, even if this kind of thing is understandable, it may not be acceptable. Not to mention the immediate troubles to deal with, Lin returned his attention to the two dragons floating in the sky, trying their best to pretend.
In fact, Henry had already come forward to try to explain all this when the second dragon in the group came around. Or is he, like those noble officers, trying to get himself and his chamber of commerce out of a certain magician's troubles?
Henry said things like: "This magician has no ill intentions." "He is here to explain the previous misunderstanding to Longdao." "I believe he comes with sincerity." Repeatedly, constantly emphasizing the same point. matter. In fact, from what Lin heard, it was just a matter of being a peacemaker and trying his best to avoid offending both sides.
But that’s okay, at least it’s not adding insult to injury and making someone even more disgusted. And their own value to the Greco Chamber of Commerce is not to the extent that they have to make a big gamble for themselves. Therefore, if the position is impartial, that is enough.
He is just a human being. Even if Henry Greco has a considerable status in the Chamber of Commerce and the family, he is still a nobody in front of the dragon clan. So even if the half-white-haired old man spoke loudly, no dragon would listen seriously. Even the dragons in the air took a glance at it and commented that the meat was too old and not tasty.
As for Lin, he was thinking about ways to deal with the second dragon in the group. Obviously, it is difficult to deal with this group of dragons in the same way as the middle-aged boys in the group back home, that is, to do whatever they want. That's a good method, but first you need to know what the other person's preferences are.
It is common to hear in a small circle that people get angry because of wrong CP or wrong order of attack and reception. If you can't be sure of the other person's thoughts, and you don't really like and understand them, catering to the other person will easily cause greater offense. It would be better to do nothing.
So, the most appropriate way is to pretend you don’t know anything and just deal with it normally? At least if you do this, you shouldn't offend the other party to the point of death. Lin thought.
’ Everyone, I want to say that the origin of that name is just a forced battle. I am not proud of it at all. Can you please listen to me explain the cause and effect? ’ Lin spoke his thoughts in dragon language. Although the sentence is quite long, in dragon language it only has a few syllables. Most of the meaning is compressed in that rapid high-frequency inflection.
For a human being to be able to master dragon language, the human-turned-dragons floating in the sky still showed a hint of astonishment on their faces. But there is only a hint of it, because many magicians are very keen on learning foreign languages. Dragon language, which is the most difficult to pronounce even with human oral organs, is of course a language that top-notch magicians cannot miss.
However, this bit of shock only made the second dragon in the group slightly increase their evaluation of the magician in front of them. In their bones, the Dragon Clan's contempt for humans has not diminished one bit. They also used the most accustomed dragon language and said: "Whether that matter was a misunderstanding or not, you defeated and subdued a Kraken later, this matter is true." ’
'Yes. ’ It’s a fact that the Dragon Clan and Kraken don’t deal with each other. But someone thought that he would not offend the dragon clan by not bringing the big octopus, so he admitted it openly.
’ So as long as we defeat you, it means that we have defeated a dragon slayer or a Kraken conqueror. There is no honor more glorious than this. ’ The person who took the lead, Zhong Erlong, fell into a self-satisfied mood and didn’t even look at anyone.
As soon as these words came out, Lin knew that there was no need to persuade him, he was just here to call.
When I was a teenager, I was always full of hope and thought I could do big things; I would also recklessly do some things that I thought were 'big things' at the time. Regardless of whether these things are right or wrong, young people will grow up only after experiencing the beatings from society and reality.
In such a period, it is useless to say anything to the other party. Even verbal withdrawal will not satisfy the other party. Regardless of whether it is about saving face or being honest, and being unforgiving with your words, this is the 'victory' that belongs to that period.
Otherwise...just give it a hearty failure. Society should beat us sooner rather than later. Abandoning children's innocence early can allow people to enter the preparation period for accepting reality earlier, which is more helpful for the future. This is the experience of someone who has been there.
Having said that, in fact, in a place where no one noticed, the black-haired magician's eyes actually revealed a different color of gold and purple, which flashed away.
The figures that once existed in the Dream Tower, one fat and one thin, have disappeared due to someone's self-destruction. But they did not disappear, but merged into Lin's body, and his character also silently affected someone.
Coupled with the demonic body, although Lin thought he was free from the control of the abyss, he only took advantage of it and eliminated its harm. But he never thought that his current body was more than just stronger, faster, and had better endurance.
In fact, the demonized body also strengthens its endocrine system, including adrenaline and dopamine. This means that someone's mood swings will be more intense than in the past.
In fact, endocrine problems can be controlled consciously based on the functions of this body. But it’s not that I didn’t realize it. The calmness that was originally cultivated by being a Buddhist fat house, without someone noticing it, becomes a huge mood swing, and the patience is reduced, and it is easy to make decisions in the direction of violence.
So after realizing that the two dragons in the sky were not objects that could be solved with words, Lin had already evaluated how far he could go to minimize the subsequent impact. To put it bluntly, it means beating them to a certain extent to make these chuunibyou patients admit defeat. We cannot kill them directly, as this will only aggravate the contradiction.
Someone's silence seems to give the dragons the illusion that a certain magician is speechless. After claiming to have won the opponent, the humanized dragons showed proud expressions, and even drew out the long swords hanging from their waists, held them flat in front of them, and said:
’ This is a mithril sword made by dwarves. It is mixed with precious fire crystals and gold essence. It is a rare magical weapon in the world. If you can't come up with a comparable weapon, don't use it to embarrass yourself. That will only make you more desperate. ’
Seeing a giant humanized dragon stroking the beautifully crafted sword in his hand with satisfaction and praising it, Lin felt it was unreal. There are few weapons in this world that can match the dragon's fangs and claws, and there are few armors that are better than dragon scales. This is a unique race, but they are proud of dwarf artifacts?
Is this world too crazy, or does the Dragon Clan not understand the g-spot? In short, Lin looked at the scene in front of him and found it strange.
