Cunning and treacherous?
Cold-blooded and cruel?
No, buddy, what kind of vision do you have!
Depending on the dragon's race and growth experience, what they value will also be different.
Like the golden dragons, what they value most when selecting contracted knights is the word "dignity".
Regardless of appearance, status, or even art, as long as someone possesses the characteristic of nobility, the Golden Dragon will have a higher preference for those who possess this characteristic.
Silver dragons and the like place more emphasis on the "elegance" of the contracted knight.
This is also consistent with their slender and elegant body shape and fighting style.
If the current tin dragon were changed into a silver dragon, it would probably have asked Krober to have a mental battle with it long ago.
But even though dragons value a wide variety of traits, they generally appreciate the brighter sides of humans.
It is rare for a dragon to choose a knight who is treacherous, cunning, cold-blooded and cruel.
Kroeber guessed that this should be related to the environment in which Tin Dragon grew up.
As a wild dragon, it has relied on these two characteristics to survive and grow gradually since its birth.
So it is natural that it will also have a favorable impression of humans who have similar characteristics.
Thinking of this, Krober also understood Xilong's request.
So the next step is how to convince the tin dragon that he is a treacherous, cunning, cold-blooded and cruel person.
"Your Excellency Xilong, you may not know that as a noble, I already possess the qualities you mentioned, and I naturally do too."
Xilong shook his head.
"No, I smell many special qualities in you. You are noble, elegant, and heroic. You are a human very popular with dragons. Even I am impressed by the charm you exude."
It changed the subject.
"But! I still insist on finding a knight with the qualities I like to fight a battle of the mind."
If dragons were compared to a large human family, then a magical dragon like Deep Purple would be like the eldest son, possessing a lofty status and formidable strength.
Dragon species with larger base numbers, such as golden dragons, silver dragons, bronze dragons, and iron dragons, are similar to the second sons. Although their individual strength is comparable to that of tin dragons, their influence cannot be underestimated due to their large numbers.
In comparison, dragon species such as Tin Dragon, Cobalt Dragon, Nickel Dragon, and Tungsten Dragon, which are not favored by the world consciousness, are more like adopted sons. Although they belong to the same clan in name and there is not much difference in strength, they are never given the attention and treatment they deserve.
Perhaps this is why Tin Dragon chose a direction that is completely opposite to the mainstream of the dragon clan to select contract knights.
"Are you...sulking?"
Kroeber was a little unsure, but the tin dragon in front of him looked very much like a human teenager who wanted to gain his mother's attention but failed and could only attract attention through methods like "rebellion".
"Being angry? Why should I be angry?"
The Tin Dragon was puzzled. After all, it was still a dragon. It only understood human emotions but had never experienced them personally. Therefore, it could not understand the meaning of what Krober said.
In Xilong's understanding, being sulking and being angry have the same meaning, referring to the pre-angry emotion that arises when being provoked or offended.
But it was not offended, so naturally it was not angry, and the idea of it being angry was nonsense.
"Aren't you blaming the world consciousness that gave birth to you? You're blaming Him for not giving you a good living environment. Otherwise, you wouldn't have chosen a human being with the same qualities as you.
You are proving that your way of growth is correct. Dragons that have experienced the tempering of nature will be more powerful than those raised in a greenhouse."
Kroeber shook his head and continued:
“The theory is correct, and I have no intention of refuting it.
But didn't you do that just to prove that you were no weaker than those dragons?
Why prove it? Isn't it just to attract the attention of the world's consciousness?"
Xilong was confused by Kroeber's theory. It wanted to refute Kroeber, but it hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything.
Seeing that Xilong had been shaken by his words, Krober struck while the iron was hot and continued to use his innate skill - Abduction! (crossed out)
——Bewitching!
"If you want to prove your strength, you should find a powerful knight. I will definitely grow into the most powerful knight in this world."
"Think about it, if you become my dragon, you can defeat other dragons on the battlefield at will, proving your strength to the world consciousness. Perhaps, you can once again receive the world's favor and evolve yourself from a Tin Dragon to a higher-level Magic Mineral Dragon."
There is no superior dragon species corresponding to the Tin Dragon in this world, but this does not stop Krober from painting a rosy picture for the Tin Dragon.
Tin Dragon did not refute Krober. It seemed to have immersed itself in the blueprint Krober had drawn for it.
"Give me a chance, let me have a battle of the mind with you, I will prove my strength in the battle of the mind."
Krober left Griffin's back and used his fighting spirit to slowly fly to Xilong's side. After seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping him, he flew towards the Crescent Terrace.
Suddenly, Xilong turned his slender neck towards Krober, staring at him with his eyes.
After watching for a long time, it finally decided to give Krober this chance. If it didn't work, it would just refuse directly.
In any case, in the battle of the mind, the dragon always holds the initiative.
So it acquiesced to Kroeber approaching its Crescent Tower and engaging in a mental battle with it.
Seeing this, Krober immediately increased his speed, fearing that Xilong would suddenly change his mind again.
He burst out with extremely fast speed and reached the crescent platform of the Tin Dragon in the blink of an eye. Combined with his original burst of flying speed, Krober turned around directly.
With the buttocks as the landing center, he landed directly on the crescent platform in a standard flat sand falling wild goose style.
Instantly, Krober felt a wonderful connection between himself and the Tin Dragon.
His soul was drawn into Xilong's consciousness space.
Different from the deep purple consciousness space, the tin dragon's consciousness space has many swords and monster debris in addition to the silver-white color, which means that in its mind, fighting and death are the main themes of its dragon life.
In the center of the space, a giant silver-white dragon with a length far exceeding 42 meters was entwined there. Its body was covered with hideous barbs, and its mouth was stained with blood and debris.
"It really does look like a little kid hiding under a spiky exterior."
Seeing the consciousness of Tin Dragon, Kroeber smiled. How insecure would it be to imagine himself covered with barbs?
"Come on, Xilong, let's start our first life connection with a hearty battle!"
