Chapter 1515 Ancient Dragon
"What do you mean?" Shao Nanyin said blankly.
"Do you think we don't know that the formation of Nibelungen must be related to dragons, and pure-blooded dragons?" Mandy looked at the girl and explained helplessly, "If you want us to admit in person that the storm is Nibelungen, and it is Nibelungen constructed by dragons, does that mean we have to face the fact that there is a strange dragon that may be active within a hundred kilometers of the area where we are now?"
Lin Nian took a sip of Coke. He liked Mandy for this. She could help him say the lines that were difficult to say. Of course, it would be better if she didn't keep shaking her raised feet and rubbing her calves intentionally or unintentionally while saying it.
He moved his chair back a little, leaving the attack range of the long-legged man under the table, and focused on not being susceptible to charm.
"If we admit this fact, does it mean that the hybrids who have a racial feud with the dragons have to abandon their vacation and go to kill the brainless dragon that came out of nowhere and swam around in the Indian Ocean with its Nibelung roots unscrupulously?" Mandy stretched lazily and leaned back, stretched her feet forward. Then her feet under the table were stepped on the ground, and she almost couldn't breathe in pain. She looked at Lin Nian with resentment.
"Don't you want to do this?" Shao Nanyin looked at Lin Nian and Mandy hesitantly.
"I'm beginning to doubt your motives. As a dragon, you know that the one sitting in front of you is a ruthless character who can kill the first generation. You spared no effort to find us to confirm this matter. Do you want to use us to kill your compatriots?" Mandy put her legs away and sat up straight, tilting her head to look at Shao Nanyin strangely.
"The bad guy complained first?" Shao Nanyin glared at Mandy and said, "Didn't you plot against me, wanting me to become your two half-bloods' lackeys and guides to find trouble with that strange dragon?"
Lin Nian and Mandy were both stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and probably understood what Shao Nanyin had misunderstood.
"Are you bored?"
"You think too much."
Lin Nian and Mandy rejected each other's conspiracy theory at the same time.
This time Shao Nanyin was choked, "Do you want to say this is a coincidence?"
"I'm not sure if it's a coincidence." Mandy thought about it and gave a fairly pertinent answer, "But I dare to answer that we have no idea about the storm area encountered on the way here, which is what you call the open Nibelungen, and we have no interest in it at all. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke us, or float to the island to get in the way, then we can completely pretend to be unaware."
"Are you really half-bloods? Are you from Kassel College?" Shao Nanyin looked at Lin Nian and Mandy in disbelief.
What did she hear? Two hybrids actually said they were not interested in dragons?
"Strictly speaking, I was expelled from Kassel Academy, so... uh-huh~" Mandy shrugged her white shoulders and gave Shao Nanyin a look that said "you understand it yourself".
Shao Nanyin looked at Lin Nian in confusion again, and Lin Nian said after a moment of silence, "If I hate dragons like a traitor and can't tolerate any scum in my eyes, then you can't leave that time in Chicago Harbor."
"Didn't we reach an agreement that time because I had information about your sister?" Shao Nanyin still didn't believe that Lin Nian's attitude towards the dragons was so casual?
"So you also know that the purpose of Junior Brother's doing this business was not really to slay dragons from the beginning. The brainwashing work of Kassel Academy, the diode thinking that all dragons in the world are bad and hybrids are righteous, was not completely implanted in his brain. In other words, we are people with brains." Mandy pointed to her head and said.
So those hybrids who are committed to slaying dragons have been beaten into brainless people by you? Lin Nian silently glanced at Mandy. If this was her true thought, then it was not unfair for her to be expelled from Kassel Academy.
"But you killed those two kings." Shao Nanyin looked at Lin Nian.
"You know that they are the four kings, they are crazy! Even you are avoiding the summons of those lunatics. Isn't it natural for us to kill them?" Mandy shook her head.
"You two really don't hate dragons at all?" Shao Nanyin looked at Lin Nian and Mandy up and down as if she had reacquainted them.
"Hate? That depends on the situation, just like the racial discrimination against black people in the United States. If you want to say what our first instinct is towards dragons, it must be vigilance and fear, but this does not mean that we are hostile to the entire dragon race."
"You are mostly distant things to us, either existing in stories or on the battlefield. We, the new generation of hybrids, have never really understood you, so how can we be completely hostile?"
Mandy tilted her head to admire the perfect skin of this fourth-generation species up close, feeling the mixed feeling of contradiction and coordination of this human-like but inhuman creature, and expressed her own views with a fairly objective and rational mindset,
"Until today, there is actually no irreconcilable conflict between dragons and hybrids. Because of your number, you cannot compete with humans for too much living soil, and your fertility rate and life span determine your development space in this world."
"Most of the points of conflict between species lie on this point. Now that there are no conditions for conflict, the two sides naturally have no reason for hostility. As for the blood feud in history, we need to remember it and be vigilant. We must always take it as a warning before we insist on rising. To the extent that the descendants of the new era will kill them when they see them? I don’t think it is necessary. The dragons with lower bloodlines have not even experienced the heyday of the dragon clan, and they have been beaten and killed by humans since they were born. "
"To put it bluntly, and allude to reality, I think the relationship between mixed race and dragon race is more like the conflict between white people and black people in the United States, except that the former enslavement relationship has been reversed, and it has become black people enslaving white people, and white people are turning over. After becoming the master, they began to squeeze the living space of black people.”
"In terms of politics and the overall situation, both black and white elites maintain the same political views, which is tit-for-tat, uncompromising ideologically, and fundamentally destroying each other's culture. But for the middle-level and At the bottom level, culture, ideology, etc. are not as important as food. Both parties can completely exchange interests. Even if fear and discrimination between different species still exist, a lot of hatred can be given up in the face of interests. "
"Just like those people from mixed-race families in North America." Lin Nian suddenly said.
"Absolutely, that group of people can remember the historical hatred, but in the present, extract benefits from each other, and negotiate with dragons based on the principle of non-intrusion - you know the ones circulating on the underground black market of mixed races Where did the 'bones, blood, and horns' come from? Of course they couldn't all be obtained from the remains of dragons! Although hybrids are only a very small part compared to humans, looking at the entire world, they are still a considerable group of people, and the dragon materials they consume are also a large number. If we want to maintain this consumption through hunting and encirclement, , I’m afraid that the course ‘Archaeology’ will soon surpass all other studies and become the most popular major.”
As for why, dig more ancestral graves of dragons and dig for autopsies! Anyway, dragon bodies are resistant to corrosion and weathering. As long as they can be dug out, they can still be used as research materials. In other words, they have a long shelf life.
"Don't tell me that you haven't secretly gone to the black market to sell your 'bones, blood, and horns.' The Somali gold you talked about before must be a cover, right? The amount you spent on traveling with your sister should be regular By selling the horns shed from one's own dragon body, or by extracting renewable dragon blood, and selling it on the black market, right?"
Mandy looked at Shao Nanyin interestingly, "What price can you sell for 100cc of whole blood now? I remember that the market price in the first half of the year seemed to be stable at US$50,000 per 100ml? How much blood can you dragons pump out to sell in one breath? Isn’t this more profitable than robbing a bank?”
"The price is compared to gold?" Lin Nian was a little surprised that dragon blood was so valuable. He glanced at Shao Nanyin, but the latter felt cold for no reason.
"You remember wrongly, 50,000 US dollars for 100 ml is the whole blood of dragons of more than three generations. And a large amount of dragon blood flowing into the market will impact the price. No dragon with any brains will do this." Shao Nanyin Not in a good mood.
"Well, did you see, the subtext in this sentence is that she also knows that many of her compatriots are doing this kind of thing, selling their 'bones, blood, and horns' for human research, and even developed a It has a fairly mature industrial chain and industry regulations. If a certain dragon sells a large amount of related materials in one go and disrupts the After entering the market, I'm afraid the first ones to find and kill him are the same kind of people, right?" Mandy looked at Shao Nanyin with evil intentions and said with a smile, "Do you think the hybrids don't know that you are doing this business? Just close one eye, otherwise where would so many renewable dragon materials be injected into the market? "
"But you are."
"But we are members of the secret party?" Mandy chuckled and looked at Lin Nian to explain, "She is so sensitive to us, probably because of our connection with Cassel College. After all, in the world of mixed races , the secret party represented by the school emblem of Kassel College is an out-and-out extremist organization, just like the Ku Klux Klan in the dark ages, which specializes in catching dragons and sending them to the stakes. After all, for the secret party, the best dragon material is complete. A dragon corpse lying on the autopsy table."
"When she saw us, she thought of Kassel College, then she thought of slaying dragons, and then she thought of the residual value that could be squeezed out of her in this circle. Then she felt panicked, neither running nor staying, and finally she hugged Rather than being burned at the stake for no apparent reason, it would be safer to come to the confession bureau first, so you approached us and wanted to have a chat? "
In a few words, Mandy had a clear understanding of Shao Nanyin's psychological activities and the purpose of his actions. After saying what needed to be said, she lay on the chair and drank a cocktail comfortably to soothe her throat, and then calmed down the rest of her life. The judgment was left to Lin Nian.
Shao Nanyin looked at Mandy with even more fear. Compared to Lin Nian, this woman had a deeper understanding of the darker side of the mixed-race world. If he stayed with her for a little longer, I'm afraid more of his secrets would be exposed. Pick it out.
"Then again, you seem to be very concerned about the Nibelung area where storms occur. Does the owner of that Nibelung area make you uneasy?" Lin Nian looked at Shao Nanyin and asked calmly,
"You mentioned earlier that you were worried that we would let you become our 'eyes' so that you could hunt down your compatriots. But you clearly knew what we could do, yet you still had this worry. Does this mean that the owner of the Nibelungen, the unknown dragon in the area we passed through, has a certain high status?"
"You are a pure-blooded dragon. Did you have some kind of connection with that unknown dragon? Or did you sense each other at the time?" Lin Nian stared at Shao Nanyin and asked.
"If you take it off any further, your underwear will be gone." Mandy at the opposite table said jokingly.
Under Lin Nian's gaze, Shao Nanyin's expression changed several times, and finally gradually calmed down, probably because she had thought it through.
Under the gazes of Lin Nian and Mandy, she opened her mouth and said slowly,
"The owner of the Nibelungen we met on the sea is likely to be a distinguished ancient dragon."
