Chapter 676 Reverse Cultural Output (Two-in-One)

After Nati's meeting with Bontowu and the others, she returned to the floating island where the dragons were temporarily staying.

This place used to be a prison built specifically for them, and was originally intended to serve as the first line of defense if they went berserk again.

But it turned out that these dragons were even more motionless than Rohan Kishibe during the first few weeks of treatment, and the prison was completely useless.

Later, when the relationship between Long and the humans eased a little, the prison was converted on the spot into a temporary residence for Nadi and others. It was a single room with an independent bathroom and super thick walls that would prevent any sound leakage, and it was free. Where can you find a house with such good conditions?

The dragons of the floating island live very comfortably here. Comparing their current lives with their daily lives on the floating island, everyone suddenly feels that the present is more comfortable.

"Mom, you're finally back. How's everything?"

After Nadi came back, Fudolin, who had been waiting here for a long time, came to greet her immediately, and a group of tribesmen came with her. They all looked at her with a mixture of expectation and nervousness, and it seemed that they were eager to hear the answers they wanted to hear.

"Um"

Facing everyone's gaze, Nadi kept a serious face and even sighed deliberately.

It was bad. Seeing her expression, everyone's heart skipped a beat like Sheriff Gordon's. Some people showed expressions of pain and despair.

Seeing the changes in people's expressions, Nadi burst out laughing. Her smile was really like the melting ice and the flowing spring water. In short, it was very brilliant.

So brilliant that it seems like it deserves a beating.

"What's wrong? Is the elder stupid?" The dragons issued the most simple greeting.

"I lied to you. The discussion went well. You don't need to worry anymore."

Nadi laughed, holding her stomach and waving her hands, saying:

"As long as we work hard, we can eat whatever we want and never have to worry about going hungry again!"

As soon as she said this, the whole audience cheered loudly, the entire ground shook, and the nearby guards were frightened and at a loss.

Labor will be rewarded, this is the natural law of the world.

From now on, as long as the dragons of the floating island integrate well into the local community and work diligently, they will be able to enjoy treatment that is almost the same as that of the local dragons.

Even the united front value of the floating island dragons seems to be higher than that of the local dragons. Bangtow has come up with some preferential policies, such as arranging study partners for them to adapt to the society of the Warrior Country as quickly as possible and learn local knowledge.

The only thing Nati and her team need to work hard on now is to build good relations with the locals, and the first step is to compensate those whose property they have destroyed.

"Also, I received their first commission from our new allies."

In such a short time, Nadi has already called the Warrior Nation her new ally.

"They plan to participate in a battle festival with the entire nation soon. They'll need our help then. Are there any of you who won't participate?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the dragons looked at each other in surprise.

Battle festival? Requesting us to participate in a battle festival!?

There was a look of astonishment in the eyes of each dragon, mainly because of one thing:

What is a battle festival?

"Our new ally is truly wonderful. He even invited us to participate in the festival. It's rare to find such kind-hearted intelligent beings."

"It's a festival, so I should be able to eat a lot of local dishes, right? I'm really looking forward to it."

The dragons were talking among themselves, all showing their interest in the battle festival.

"That's right, we can eat delicious local food and have fun. It's a festival after all!"

Listening to the discussion of the dragons below, Nadi put her hands on her hips and nodded repeatedly with a confident smile on her face.

The reason why she was so confident was because she didn't know what the battle festival was.

Among the dragons present, only one person realized what had happened. It was Fudorin. Her expression suddenly changed. She ran over and covered her mother's mouth to stop her from talking nonsense. She whispered:

"Mom, you don't know what a battle festival is, do you?"

"I don't know. How can it be bad if it's called a festival?"

"hiss"

Fudorin took a breath and looked at Nadi with strange eyes.

Naddy smiled softly in return and winked.

“Bang!”

Fudorin slapped her face suddenly and groaned in pain.

My mom wasn't such a naive person before! Did she become stupid after eating Sean's food?

She always felt that the people who came out of the Thane Underground City had undergone personality changes, specifically...

Everything has become more cheerful and innocent?

The synonym of cheerful and innocent is naive, and a more blunt word for naive is stupid!

Although there is sufficient evidence to show that both Nadi and the other floating island dragons are serious and normal when discussing serious matters, they become what they are now as soon as they relax in their daily lives.

Fuduolin couldn't adapt at all, absolutely not!

How to describe her feeling? It was like someone from a real mecha war anime traveled to a super mecha war anime.

She suddenly grabbed Naddy's shoulders and shook her, staring at her and saying:

"Wait here for a moment. I'll find something to show you what the Battle Festival is all about!"

Nadi nodded and waited obediently. The other dragons also became interested and waited in place.

After a while, Fuduolin came back with a large box of photo stones, a projection screen and equipment for magnifying the image in her arms.

She rushed out to borrow all this from Luluwo.

"Mom, don't touch it. This is the first time you've seen this. I'll do it for you."

"No, I've seen it."

"ah?"

Fuduolin paused while assembling the equipment and looked at her with a strange look. "When did you see it?"

They don't have this thing on their floating island.

Nadi picked up a photo stone and played with it. She said, "Before I was infected, I was still lucid for a while. I learned the technique to transform into a human and wandered around this city for a few days."

"ah???"

Fuduolin had more questions in her mind, and then she realized what was happening and quickly asked, "What were you doing here?"

"Originally, I saw there were so many humans here, so I wanted to warn them that they might attack us," Nadi said embarrassedly, "but I was scared away after just a few days."

"Why is this happening?" Fuduolin could no longer keep up with the pace of development.

"Because when I arrived, the whole city was excitedly discussing something called Dragon Feast."

Looking back, it was a terrible past.

Nadi had sneaked into the imperial capital, but all she heard from the people around her was:

"Did you slay a dragon today?"

"No, I was slacking off today, but I did follow the team and killed one yesterday."

"Haha, I killed two yesterday! Let me tell you, dragon blood is hot and feels really good to the touch. It's so nice to bathe with it!"

"Really? I've discovered that dragon shank meat is quite delicious. I'll show you how to make it sometime."

When Nadi sneaked in, the Dragon Feast was at its peak of popularity. The whole society was discussing dragon slaying. In the tavern, people were discussing either the hundred ways to kill a flying dragon or the secret recipe for cooking dragon meat.

At that time, Natti had only a little bit of rationality left and was unable to judge the situation properly, so she was frightened by people's conversation.

In the end, he fled the imperial capital after just a few days, staying away from this crazy city that treated the blood and sweat of dragons as hot baths.

At that moment, she completely understood why the old dragons had taught them not to have contact with humans, and why her deceased grandfather had said that humans were all crazy.

"But now the misunderstanding has been resolved. Humans are quite friendly, aren't they? And they're not crazy. Your grandfather was wrong."

Nadi said with a laugh.

“.”

Fuduolin didn't know what to say, so she simply shrugged her shoulders, turned around and continued to fiddle with the projection equipment. Finally, she clapped her hands and said:

"Okay, this is a photo of the locals participating in a battle festival. It was taken just last month. You'll understand after you take a look."

"I think this way humans record their lives is wonderful."

"It's been a while since I've seen such a lively festival."

"Can I order food by looking at the image?"

The dragons were talking in a lively atmosphere. If Gong Qiying were here, he would probably be reminded of the scene in elementary school when his teacher organized the whole class to watch a movie together.

Seeing that these people didn't seem nervous at all, Fuduolin silently turned up the volume to the maximum.

"roar!"

The next moment, the roar coming from the image resounded throughout the entire "prison". The dragons suddenly froze and the scene was silent.

Latan's ferocious face filled the entire screen, and there was blood from some unknown adventurer on his face, making him look particularly hideous.

I don’t know which genius took this picture.

Youlong was stunned for a moment, then belatedly asked, "Is this a festival attire?"

There was no need for Fudorin to answer, the slowly moving scene made the dragon who asked the question shut up.

In the picture, General Latan of Starshatter is wielding the Starshatter Greatsword in a heroic and unparalleled fighting posture.

And below him were thousands of roaring adventurers who launched a fearless charge.

Under the reflection of the blood-red sky, Latan raised his sword and slashed, and flesh and limbs flew everywhere, while the adventurers' eyes were red and they rushed forward fearlessly no matter how bizarre the death was.

This scene frightened the dragons.

Firstly, it reminded me of the painful memories in the Senn dungeon, and secondly, I felt a little uncomfortable seeing such a bloody scene suddenly.

It may sound a bit strange to say, but in fact, the dragons of the floating island are usually very peaceful. There is no fighting at all, and everyone has a very docile personality.

The floating island is so small, and everyone is a neighbor and knows each other. Who has the time to fight?

"Daughter, did you put it in the wrong place?" Nati asked for help.

Seeing the stunned expressions of her people, Fuduolin finally felt relieved and said with a grim smile:

"That's right. This is the battle festival. The goal is to kill this man who is bigger than the mountain."

She pointed at the ferocious Ratan, and the atmosphere at the scene became even more silent.

"This kind of massacre is called a ritual?" Nadi asked in disbelief. "What are humans thinking? They clearly can't defeat the other side, so why are they still stupidly rushing forward?"

"Silly, perhaps," Fudorin said, spreading her hands. "My human friends say it's their noble warrior spirit."

“.”

Nadi scratched her head and opened her mouth to say something, but she seemed to have no idea what to say, so she scratched her head again.

She retracted her earlier comment about being friendly to humans and muttered to herself:

"Grandpa is right, humans are all crazy."

All night long, the dormitory of the Dragon Clan on the Floating Island was filled with the howling sounds of the giant dragons.

Because if they want to stay in the Warrior Kingdom, it means that they will have to fight with Latarn soon, and there is no chance they can win!

However, by the next day they had returned to normal and were even a little excited, mainly because the Warrior Country sent people to discuss cooperation.

The content of the cooperation is to deeply explore the food areas that veteran adventurers don’t have time or are unwilling to go to, and to find the legendary kitchen utensils and legendary recipes scattered in the food areas!

This commission hits the heart of the Floating Island Dragon Clan!

————————————

Western Continent, Great Demon City.

In the past few months, the leadership of the Great Demon City has undergone a major reshuffle, mainly because most of the priests died in accidents for unknown reasons.

Only a few people, including the priest of Onora, were left alive.

This forced the Great Demon City to consider the selection of new priests as its most urgent task. Fortunately, the new priests have now been selected.

After a fierce struggle, the position of high priest, the leader of the current priests, fell to Onora.

Well-deserved, no one would think that this decision was wrong and they all supported Ounora wholeheartedly.

Because this young priest successfully conquered the scattered demon tribes on the continent through iron-blooded means, and made them "voluntarily" join the Great Demon City as the center, with several major tribal leaders in charge.

The country of demons!

Even though the new country still had various problems, it had generally achieved the unification of the Western continent!

This was once a feat that could only be accomplished by the birth of a demon king, and as soon as the demon king died, the forces he had assembled would immediately split.

It can be said that the demons are not a race that can form a stable country.

But it doesn’t matter to Ounora, as long as this new country can remain stable while she is alive!

The Great Demon Tree that runs through the heaven and earth stands as always in the center of the Great Demon City, and it seems that it has never changed in thousands of years.

The priests' residence was built on the Great Demon Tree. Below the priests' residence was the royal palace, which served as the representative building of the new country. In it lived the mascot king, who was promoted by the leaders of the various powerful tribes.

There is no need to worry about these things, Honora herself doesn't care about them.

No one stayed near the Great Demon Tree. When the High Priestess Ounora came to power, she established new rules. No one could touch the Great Demon Tree without her permission.

The tragic deaths of those old priests are still vivid in people’s minds. God knows what kind of monsters and demons the priests will see when they read the memories of the Great Demon Tree.

The Great Demon Tree hadn't received any interesting memories recently, and Onora's attention wasn't on this, but on something else.

In the priest's temple, Honora, dressed in gorgeous or rather gorgeous attire, sat on the main throne and asked the attendant beside her in a superior tone:

"Have those stupid dragons calmed down yet?"

When she asked this question, her fists were clenched, and it was obvious that she was quite uneasy.

"Report to the High Priest that there is absolutely nothing."

The attendant also showed a helpless expression.

"They're constantly asking for strawberry cream cakes, dorayaki, brandy lobster, roasted whole pig, rainbow fruit jewel meat, and so on. We can't find any of these ingredients, so they're making a big fuss right now."

"Yeah."

Veins on Ou Nora's forehead seemed to bulge with anger. She said with a forced smile, "These beasts seem to be particularly active this time. They think they can do whatever they want just because they are the country's indispensable fighting force, don't they?"

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was angry, but what was the reason for her anger?

"This time, they failed to convert their relatives far away in the human world into their own people. They have been unsuccessful for hundreds of years, yet they still swore that this time it would work. In the end, they themselves were affected in an unprecedented way. What use are they?"

In a rare move, Ou Nora slammed the chair hard, looking a little broken.

The "beast" she mentioned was actually the one that Gong Qiying had entrusted the city lords to find.

The first dragons.

For the demons, the dragon was originally a force too powerful to be ignored. All tribes wanted to win them over, or at least ensure that they would not be hostile to each other.

More importantly, the original dragons had a magical ability - the dragon plague.

Through blood ties, the original dragons could continuously transmit their evil desires to dragons that had blood ties but were not dragons, causing infection.

That is the floating island dragon clan. In addition to them, there should have been other branches of the dragon clan.

Initially, the evil dragons accumulated desires for years or even decades. When the evil desires swelled up, they breathed them out to other dragons, causing the dragon plague. After being infected by the plague, they would become evil dragons and eventually fly to the western continent to join their ranks.

The plague once infected many dragons, causing the number of magic dragons to increase exponentially. Therefore, their power was feared by the demons, and the magic dragons were treated as guests of honor.

However, this situation later changed.

For a long time, no new dragons flew into the western continent, and the plague seemed to be ineffective.

The truth is, the only ones who can still be infected by the plague are the dragon clan of the Floating Island. The other branches of the dragon clan have been infected long ago, and only the dragon clan on the Floating Island has escaped danger every time.

It had been a long time since the number of magic dragons increased. At first, the magic dragons were a little anxious. This time, they tried a killing move and sent the plague that had expanded to the extreme.

This led to the dragon attack in the Warrior Kingdom.

If the Thane Dungeon hadn't interfered, they would have succeeded by now.

This time, the dragons had prepared carefully for a long time, outputting the plague at maximum power. The huge desires they had accumulated made them a little mentally abnormal. It was a desperate gamble.

But alas, Sean took action.

Not only was the plague resolved, but the original dragons also encountered something unexpected.

Because the power of this plague was unprecedentedly strong, the original magic dragon and the dragon clan of the floating island developed a certain degree of spiritual connection, and they were able to transmit spiritual influence to each other intermittently.

Yes, they influence each other.

Considering what happened to the dragons on the floating island, one can easily imagine what happened to the dragons in the beginning.

"Oh no, High Priest! The dragons are so hungry they're gnawing on the Great Demon Tree!"

A priest came running over in a hurry.

"They rebelled against me, beat them to death!" Ou Nora completely lost her calm appearance and looked furious.

After the plague failed, the original dragon was affected and had been a hungry dragon for several weeks.

When their food reserves were eaten up, they would go on the robbing trail. If that wasn't enough, they would go on the extortion expeditions from other tribes. But no matter how much they ate, they could never get enough.

According to them, the reason for unsatisfied appetite is that—

"The food here is so terrible, we want to eat what they have eaten!"

"They" refers to the floating island dragon clan.

How could the demons have delicious food? They can't even make a cake. At most, they can bake some sweet dough. Their food culture is so poor that it's outrageous.

So, the dragons are now going berserk.

"Alas," Ou Nora sighed and sat back on the main seat, "one or two of them are causing me so much trouble."

Fortunately, the dragons were also affected by Belle while their appetites were raging, and they were now filled with fear of the giant creatures that roared loudly. By using this characteristic, Onora was able to deal with them for the time being.

I just don’t know when their mental state will return to normal.

"Can't there be some good news?"

Seeing Honora gritting her teeth, her subordinates exchanged glances and stood up and said:

"Your Excellency the High Priest, the messenger returned from the human world this morning and brought back a letter."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Ounora grabbed the letter angrily and flipped through it casually.

But after a few glances, she suddenly stopped moving, then sat up straight and began to look carefully.

This was not the usual human intelligence gathered through spying, but something that the exclusive messenger she sent out was looking for. No one knew about this except her.

That is, information about the abyss!

The sender's name was Dorian. Honora remembered him as an experienced and capable messenger.

After watching for a while, Ou Nora's mouth curled up into an alluring smile, and she whispered to herself:

"I see, it's a dungeon."

The guards next to her naturally didn't understand what she was saying, and they didn't dare to try to understand.

Ounora solved the doubts that had troubled her for a long time, and her mood instantly improved.

Her slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the handle of the chair, and as she tapped, an idea came to her mind.

It's time to send our most reliable men to the human side.

Go and contact the dungeon where the abyss appears.

Then, make a friend.
