Chapter 1,397 Dragon Island Strategy─Step 1

The half-dragon dragon that took action suddenly lost all its momentum, and cold sweat broke out on its forehead and back just like a human being. The dragon scales it was proud of were like paper lakes in front of this sword, completely useless and just inserted into its body.

Whether or not to stab the dragon's heart is only a matter of the opponent's thoughts. No matter what the other party's scruples were that prevented it from taking action, it didn't want to bet that this human being really didn't dare to kill.

Dragons have many bad habits, but they don't like gambling because they just want to win. A game that only wins but does not lose is not called gambling.

Not to mention the magician who pierced the dragon's heart with his sword, the human next to him also firmly held his claws, unable to move. In terms of strength alone, this human being is not in his current form. Moreover, it seems that the other party still has some room to spare, and they are not trying their best to hold on.

Applause broke the stalemate silence. Marku, the guardian of Longdao Town, said: "Two guests, I think no matter what misunderstandings there are, they can be resolved at the subsequent banquet. Now let us transport the fleet here." How about transporting the goods off the ship properly. If there is a delay or the goods are damaged too much, I will also be responsible in front of the Dragon Emperor."

Lin didn't reply, just turned his attention to Marku. Sensing the silent doubt, the humanized guardian half-raised his hands and said, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that no one will cause trouble here anymore. There is no point in fighting a battle that has no chance of winning. You The sword in your hand and the one on your waist are both weapons of the Haggiri clan."

Another dragon suffered a loss, and the other human-turned-dragons who were following Marku and were about to make a move were all quiet now. Especially when their leader pointed out that the weapon in the magician's hand was a hakakiri, most of the dragons gave up the idea of ​​stepping forward.

Although the weapons of the Haggiri clan have gradually fallen silent in recent years, they have become only legendary weapons. But dragons have long lifespans, and they can become the guardians of Ryudao Town like Marco, so they are no strangers to Hakiri.

Among the people who have ever received the title of dragon slayer, three or four out of ten use Haggiri. Such a high ratio makes the dragons dare not not take it seriously. Hakiri is enough to break through their proud defenses, and it has become common knowledge among the dragon clan.

No dragon would choose to confront the person in front of him head-on after confirming that the person in front of him was using that infamous weapon. If you really want to challenge him, you need to make other plans. So right now, they don't have any fighting spirit.

Sheathing his sword and retreating, Lin used his flash technique to instantly return to his original position. Only then did Youlong realize that something was wrong. This magician's elusiveness seems not to be due to his extremely fast speed, but to other reasons.

Because if it is a speed issue, no matter how fast it is, there should still be a movement process. But no matter where the magician appears, it seems to appear suddenly. This was what made his attack so unexpected.

As Lin retreated, William also retracted the long sword holding the dragon's claw and retreated slowly. On the human side, except for the ordinary people who looked anxious and uneasy, the two humans who dared to challenge the dragon didn't care whether they were facing one or a group. There was no trace of panic in his expression and eyes.

Marku, who didn't want to cause trouble, said: "I will inform you of the time and place of the dinner, please don't forget it." He nodded slightly, said hello, and left with the dragons. In fact, if the princess hadn't offended her too much before, it wouldn't even want to come forward. If you do too many things outside of your responsibilities, you will suffer a loss.

After finally sending the last batch of dragons off the ship, Lin looked at the white sword master walking beside him and sighed helplessly. Of course, William didn't understand the sigh and looked at him with doubts. Lin explained: "The things I have committed recently were all caused by that kind of young child. I probably had a conflict with the child, so I encountered such an uneducated person."

William tilted his head, not knowing how to answer the question. After holding it in for a while, he finally said: "My condolences."

Save your sister! But considering that William can care about other people's moods, this is already a great improvement. Someone no longer cares about whether his response is appropriate.

Compared to those two people, the other ordinary people on the ship, as well as the people on the neighboring ships who could see the situation of the ship, felt mixed emotions at this time. They should have complained about the magician who was following the ship for causing them such trouble; but considering the strength of the other party, they could not express this complaint. So everyone was holding it in very hard and felt very depressed.

As the patriarch of the family, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and William's father, Henry had to step forward. But how to solve the problem, his mind is also a mess. In the end, he only thought of the method he had decided on from the beginning and said:

"I'd better take you directly to find the family's backer on Dragon Island. I need to go there and deliver the goods list. Even if the dinner is held today, you should still be back in time. But you must be mentally prepared. Although we talk about having a backer, in fact it won’t help us much. It’s just the goods we bring ourselves and we mainly trade with that person.”

Well, it's very like an old man, doing something on the side of everything. When the old man was doing business, he would take him along to see if there was any way to solve his problem. This was normal behavior. If it can't be done, it's just a drop-in anyway, so the trip won't be in vain.

This approach cannot be said to be right or wrong, it just depends on the urgency of the matter. If the business is not urgent, there is nothing to say; if the business is urgent and he is delayed by something he was doing on the way, it will depend on which unlucky person will take the blame.

But they had already planned it, and it was hard for Lin to refute. Anyway, I don’t have an accurate idea, so I’ll just let nature take its course.

Since we need to take action, Flash is of course the best way to get on the road. But considering that William and Henry were not wearing elf holy robes or other protective magic equipment, using the flash technique would either put more effort on their own or expose them to risks, so Lin simply let Henry arrange it.

The old man, who was familiar with all the ways on Long Island, quickly arranged a small boat to take people ashore. The main berth on the dock is still used to disembark the livestock from the fleet. That is the main purpose of this trip, and no one dares to neglect it. Therefore, if others want to go ashore, they can only rely on small boats to connect and rush to the beach to land on the island.

After arriving at Long Island, a carriage will naturally come to pick you up. And the carts were not being pulled by ordinary horses, but by dragon horses with dragon blood. This is a divine horse that everyone desires outside, but on Dragon Island it can only be used to pull carts.

This is not a waste, but a necessity. Ordinary horses cannot move normally on Dragon Island at all, because the dragons will not restrain their dragon power, so they can only use magical beasts like dragon horses to pull carts.

And Henry was accompanied by not only Lin and William, but also two stewards from the Greco Chamber of Commerce. They are responsible for taking the list of the fleet's private goods to trade with the dragon. After the two parties have discussed the content of the transaction, the goods will be delivered to the door and the agreed items will be exchanged.

The reason why we don't directly bring the goods to the door for trading is because dragons often take all the goods away when they see the goods, and the things they bring out in exchange are not worth their value. Instead of doing this, it is better to negotiate well in advance before delivering the things to your door.

During the negotiation stage, although the dragons are arrogant and like the lions to open their mouths, they are still rational and do not regret much if they make a good deal. If they were allowed to see things, the situation would be different. If I didn't leave everything behind, it would be like feeling uncomfortable all over.

According to someone, this is typical obsessive-compulsive disorder.

During the carriage ride, Lin Duo asked about the old dragon he was going to see. Henry didn't say much before, and Lin didn't ask much, because they both thought this trip should be quite simple. But when he arrived at Long Island, he realized that things were getting complicated, and Lin had to pay more attention to these trivial matters to avoid overturning.

It is actually not very accurate to say that the Greco Chamber of Commerce's backer and main trading partner is an old dragon. Strictly speaking, the other party is an ancient dragon.

The average lifespan of a giant dragon in Lost Land, no matter what kind of dragon it is, is between two hundred and three hundred years. People who are over two hundred years old can be called 'old'. Like Augustus, the old black dragon in someone's family, who is two hundred and thirty-three years old.

But the so-called average lifespan is not the age at which giant dragons normally die of old age; it is the age at which giant dragons continue to seek death, and finally kick the iron plate and die violently. Even if dragons are regarded as intelligent creatures in the Lost World, there are endless people who have obtained the title of dragon slayer in every era.

The reasons for this situation are not difficult to understand. Let's just say that after someone came to the Karlsruhe Empire and had the opportunity to come into contact with the Dragon Clan, how could he not be able to encounter conflicts?

This race with extraordinary talents, born to stand at the top of the food chain, has enough strength to make them proud of all living creatures. Such self-confidence, of course, results in their arrogant and domineering behavior.

But Midi is a world of individual power. It is true that dragons are the strongest race, but there are always some special cases that are stronger than other races.

So what will happen when a dragon that has not yet reached its peak, or has begun to decline from its peak, meets a strong person from another race?

The usual results are nothing more than two. For one, the dragon is victorious again. Secondly, there is another person in this world who has the title of Dragon Slayer.

In addition, the whole body of the Dragon Clan is filled with rare magic materials, and there is no age limit. Therefore, those giant dragons that have entered their old age have simply become the best hunting targets for humans. Therefore, few dragons die well.

In order to prevent old dragons from being deliberately hunted, the Dragon Tomb was created, the final home of all giant dragons. In order to protect the dragon tomb, Dragon Island became the guardian place of the dragons.

The above is what is said to the public. Lin judged based on common sense that the content and logic were quite reasonable. But it's hard to say whether there are things that are hidden.
