The tidal dragon's huge eyes looked at Nolte below with a scrutinizing gaze.
It wondered in its heart, why could this human attract its attention?
Is it simply because he is the first human to enter the Dragon Breeding Garden?
No! The more important reason was the unique scent he exuded, a scent that made the Tide Dragon curious and interested.
Generally speaking, tide dragons prefer intelligent creatures that are full of war and iron-blooded spirit.
So the guys from the Kuer tribe will be more favored by it.
On the human side, those from the Orichalcum Kingdom seemed to be more to its liking.
However, due to the current tense relationship between the Orichalcum Kingdom and the Amethyst Ocean Current Kingdom, it is impossible for the Tide Dragon to obtain a qualified contract partner from the Orichalcum Kingdom.
But when it smells the reassuring scent of Nolte, it decides to show up in person and meet this special human.
"Your scent, insignificant human, has piqued my interest. Therefore, I, the noble Tide Dragon, have decided to offer you a chance to be tested by me."
"Be grateful and do your best to please me!"
It should be emphasized that what the Tide Dragon said at this time was an opportunity to be tested, not an opportunity to directly engage in a mental battle.
Only after passing the test can you get the opportunity to engage in a mental battle with the Tide Dragon.
In fact, this is the normal procedure for concluding a contract with a superior dragon.
Superior dragons are far more arrogant than inferior dragons, and their demands for contract partners are not high.
After all, they are already at the top of the world, and contracting a partner will only add wings to their strength.
Take Azure for example. Ever since the death of its first knight, it has never thought of looking for a new knight.
Otherwise, no matter how useless King William of the Azure Tide Kingdom is, he would not be so stupid after being trained by Azure.
From the fact that this generation of King William matured after a war, it can be seen that Zhanlan definitely did not train him in normal times.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for a war to cause him to transform.
However, the current tidal dragon is bound, and its belligerent nature makes it difficult for it to endure in this "retirement home".
Therefore, if it can contract a partner, it will be like "helping it in time of need".
To this end, the Tide Dragon expressed its willingness to moderately lower some standards.
In the past, people like Nolte wouldn't even be qualified to take the test.
But now, it is willing to give him this opportunity kindly and generously.
As for the content of the trial, it is very simple.
Just keep the Tidal Dragon happy and entertained.
For the tidal dragon that is trapped here and unable to move freely, happiness and joy are what it lacks most at the moment.
When Nolte heard this, he felt like he was blessed with joy.
This time, he originally only wanted to find a lower-level sea dragon to contract, but he did not expect that he would be favored by the upper-level dragon, His Majesty the Tide Dragon.
Normally he wouldn't even dare to do this in his dreams!
I only dare to dream of contracting a lower-level dragon!
When he thought about how he would contract the Tidal Dragon and be made a Duke by Lord Krober, and control a vast and rich fiefdom, second only to the Lord and above all others!
This beautiful scenery couldn't help but bring a smile to his face.
"Hey! Stop grinning like an idiot! You don't expect to make me happy with that stupid-looking smile of yours, do you?"
The Tide Dragon's impatient voice interrupted Nolte's fantasy.
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty the Tide Dragon, please wait a moment. I will do my best to deal with your test."
Nolte thought hard and finally decided to start from his strengths.
Before that, let me briefly introduce Nolte.
Nort Flying Sheep, Honorary Marquis of the Amethyst Ocean Kingdom and Dean of the Medical School, is proficient in medicine, art, painting, musical instruments and other skills.
The only drawback is that he is not good at fighting.
When Krober divided the nobles, he actually gave Nort a fiefdom the size of a medium-sized island. However, this fiefdom was too far away from Yangliu Island, so Nort handed over his territory to the royal family.
Every year, Nort can enjoy three salaries of the Amethyst Ocean Current Kingdom without doing anything.
The first one is the dividend from the Norte territory.
The second is the fixed salary of the dean of the Nolte School of Medicine.
The third one is a subsidy that Krober gives specifically to honorary nobles.
With these three salaries combined, Nolte lived a much better life than the marquises of the same rank as him.
With extra money, Nolte began to study art.
Painting and musical instruments are two subjects that he has fully mastered through hard study and practice over the years.
"In that case, I will play a song for His Majesty the Tide Dragon."
Nolte chose to use his best skill to complete the test under the Tide Dragon Crown.
After saying this, he took out a small, slender orchestral instrument from his waist.
This instrument is a special instrument that is popular in the ethnic minority areas of the Topa Kingdom. It is said that when it is played, people can hear the sound of wind blowing fallen leaves.
Nolte simply calmed himself down. As a qualified artist, he must be in a suitable state of mind before performing.
Otherwise, the music played will be chaotic.
Seeing that Nort's condition was obviously different from before, the Tide Dragon's face showed a look of interest.
Nolte slowly placed his instrument to his lips, and as his lips touched the instrument, a soothing musical sound rang out.
After hearing this, the Tide Dragon slowly closed its eyes. It felt that the restless desire to fight in its heart was dissipating.
This is a feeling it has never experienced before!
The Tide Dragon remembered clearly that the warlike nature of its own concept had been influencing it since its birth.
Actually, that’s not the case. The Tidal Dragon itself is a concept and is inherently warlike.
Only after defeating its enemies can a tidal dragon feel its warlike desires barely appeased.
But this is just a drop in the bucket. Before long, the Tide Dragon's warlike nature will drive it to find the enemy again and then win.
But this time it was different. For the first time, the Tide Dragon truly found peace from this thing called "music".
When Nolte played the music, it felt its mind become clear, and it no longer had any thoughts of going out to fight.
When the song ended, the Tidal Dragon opened its eyes with a lingering look.
"Yes, human. Now, tell me your name. Then, you have the opportunity to engage in a battle of psyches with me."
