◎The useless dragons who compete with succubi for work◎
In order to pass the advanced mathematics exam, Xiaolong stayed up until the early morning to study. When he got up in the morning, he was still a little dizzy. He yawned, cast a cleansing spell as if he had finished washing, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.
"I usually sleep much later than yesterday when I play games at night," he muttered depressedly, "Why is studying so much more tiring than staying up late to play games?"
It’s all because math is too boring. If math could be as fun as games, he would have passed the advanced exam long ago!
The dragon thought gloomily, took out a shiny silver jacket from the closet, carefully pinned the newly bought ruby badge on the cuff of the jacket, and chose a matching red phone case for his phone. Then he walked out of the house with his head held high.
After taking just two steps, he was blocked by a group of dragons.
When the Demon King controlled the changes in the dragons' body shapes, he did not seal their ability to transform into human forms. The dragons, who were not used to the short arms and legs and small wings of the mini dragons, chose to go out in human form.
The dragon race, which has powerful strength and profound magic since birth, has always been envied by other races and called the creatures favored by the God of Creation. Even their human form is unique, with tall stature, long legs, handsome faces, and a kind of domineering and sharp aura. If they had not always appeared in the form of dragons, perhaps other races would also add the name of the dragon race when talking about the most beautiful race.
The Demon Dragon is still in his youth. He is neither 1.9 meters tall nor has the angular face of the dragons. His unkempt black curly hair hangs down by his ears, making his face look particularly round.
He also realized this, so he immediately entered a fighting state, put his hands on his hips angrily, and tried to tiptoe, hoping to make himself look taller: "What are you doing? If you dare to bully me, I will call you king!"
...
...
The blue dragon, who was already in a bad mood, suddenly became angry, his eyes widened: "Are you a dragon cub who has not been weaned? Why do you keep talking about the devil? You - um -"
Xuanlong covered his mouth tightly, pushed him behind him, looked at the dragon, and smiled ingratiatingly: "Don't get me wrong, we are not here to fight, we just want to ask you something."
Seeing the disaster approaching, the dragons, who were once so arrogant, had to put aside their dignity and humbly ask for help from the evil dragon, whom they considered a traitor to the dragon clan.
Unfortunately, Xiaolong didn't understand what they wanted to say at all. He thought they were asking about the news of the Demon Realm again. Thinking of the advanced mathematics class he was forced to take, he was so scared that his dragon scales exploded: "You wish! I won't reveal any news of the Demon Realm to you anymore, don't come to me!"
"For the sake of us all being dragons," it was Ferothkatha who spoke this time. He no longer cared about the Dragon King's face and spoke in an earnest tone, "We don't want to pry into the secrets of the demons. We just want to know what kind of demons the Demon King needs? Can we make some contributions to the Demon King?"
The demon dragon was stunned for a moment, tilted his head, looked at him, and asked in surprise: "Do you want to become a demon?"
Feroth Katha nodded with difficulty.
Turning his attention to the other dragons, the demon dragon's voice became even more surprised: "You also want to become a demon dragon?"
The dragons looked at each other and nodded. Even the most radical and violent blue dragon did not refute, but lowered his head sullenly, obviously agreeing with this statement.
"Didn't you say at the beginning that the demons were the lowest race and that becoming a demon was a shame for dragons?" The demon dragon laughed loudly. "What's the situation now? Have you finally figured it out?"
All the dragons changed their expressions.
It wasn't that he was humiliated by these words, but he was mainly scared, fearing that some demons passing by would hear these remarks, so he hurriedly waved his hands: "No, we definitely don't think the demons are bad!"
The more clever Xuanlong quickly added: "With the omnipotent Demon King here, the demons must be the most noble race!"
This flattering remark in praise of the Demon King obviously touched the dragon's heart.
He first said with dignity, "Although our king is very powerful, the demons are not very noble. We just rely on our hard-working hands to work hard to live a better life," and then nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, what do you want to ask? Let me make it clear first, I will never tell you confidential information about the Demon Realm, such as the fact that the core of the protective magic circle of the Royal City is in the Demon King's Palace!"
Xuanlong's expression was subtle for a moment.
He believed in the Demon Dragon's loyalty to the Demon Realm, but considering that this guy had already revealed most of the information about the Demon Realm's protective formation, it might not be that difficult to find out all the secrets he knew.
However, he did not dare to cause trouble under the Demon King's nose. He pretended not to have heard what the Demon Dragon had said, and asked directly: "If we want to join the demon tribe, how should we prove our worth to the Demon King?"
The magic dragon thought about it and nodded firmly: "Pass the math and magic basics exams."
The dragons who still haven't learned to count: "...Is there any other way?"
"No matter what abilities you have, you still have to take the exams in the end," the magic dragon spread his hands, his tone was quite gloating, "otherwise you won't even be able to calculate how much to spend on each meal, and you won't be able to understand the Demon Realm announcements or work notifications, and you won't be able to live a normal life in the Demon Realm."
There were still tears in the corners of the Red Dragon's eyes, and he sobbed sadly: "But math is really hard! How did you learn it in the first place?"
"The king taught me this himself," the dragon puffed out his chest with pride, "You can have a bite of fries if you get a question right!"
The dragons' eyes suddenly became extremely envious.
Thinking of Warren's indulgence of the dragon, Feroth Katha sighed, "You must have known the Demon King for a long time, right? You have been following him since he was not so powerful, so you can gain his favor."
“No,” the dragon spread his hands, a little embarrassed to recall his reckless and stupid self, “I ran to the Demon King’s Palace to rob, and even released dragon breath to burn the military camp.”
The dragons: “?!”
This guy set fire to the military camp, but he was still safe and sound. He was protected so well by the Demon King and even caused the dragon tribe to attack without being severely punished?
They were genuinely jealous.
Not knowing what the dragons were thinking, the demon dragon yawned, glanced at the sky, thought about the pile of papermaking tasks he had today, and shook his tail anxiously, changing the subject: "Well, since you can't pass the exam for a while, you can first impress the king with other abilities. The Demon King's Palace used to have a special demon talent introduction plan."
Hope rekindled in the eyes of the dragons.
"Hmm, let me think about it," the dragon scratched his ear, recalling the talent introduction plan that he had only glanced at casually at the beginning, "Do you know healing magic?"
The dragons, who had thick skin and didn't need any treatment at all, shook their heads.
"Okay, so can you cook? Fry some French fries, toast some marshmallows, or make fried rice with eggs?"
The dragons looked at each other in bewilderment, as they had never even heard of the names of these foods.
Xiaolong sighed, "Do you know how to use space magic array? Or other magic arrays are also fine. I heard that the forging team is going to improve the magic storage array recently. If you know that, it should be a good plus point."
In the silence, only Xuanlong raised his paw weakly: "I know a little bit."
"Oh, that's great," the dragon nodded happily, "Go back and prepare some magic circles you created or improved before, and prepare a short essay on your understanding of magic - if you don't know magic words, you can just write them out - if you can impress the king, you should be able to get a job in advance, but the salary will be halved, and it will not be paid until you pass the basic exam."
Xuanlong shut up silently.
He has no original or improved magic circles at all, and he has no understanding of magic at all!
However, Xiao Long had already passed him by and looked at the other dragons: "As for you, uh, what else can you do? Can you farm? Potatoes, black beans, sweet fruit, magic rice, magic bamboo, etc. are all fine."
The dragons shook their heads.
"Then can you forge magic weapons? They don't need to be very powerful, even improved magic machines will do. For example, the oil presses and textile machines in the Demon Realm have been replaced with new designs recently. I heard that they are much more efficient. My paper mill also needs machines to help."
The dragons discovered in despair that they could not understand what the dragon was saying at all.
"Okay, then can you build a house? That's how the Hell Demons were selected for the Special Demon Talent Introduction Program."
“…”
"What about acting? Writing scripts, singing, and stuff like that?"
“…”
"Okay, the succubus's charm skills--"
The blue dragon, who was already desperate enough to start thinking about where the devil would bury him, interrupted him loudly: "I can do this!"
The dragon, who was about to say "The succubus's charm skill is useless, but the winemaking skill can be considered", widened his eyes in horror, slapped the ground with his tail, looked around, and saw the goblin Barlow not far away, and rushed over in a hurry.
"Barro!" he screamed, "These dragons are so scary! They are actually trying to steal jobs from the succubus!"
The goblin Barlow subconsciously leaned back, paused for a moment, and looked at the dragons in confusion.
He has always been a demon who loves making friends. Although he is responsible for supervising and dispatching the dragons to do work, and has only been in contact with the dragons for a short time, he still has a good relationship with them.
Of course, he had a better relationship with the dragon, so his first reaction was to grab the dragon's arm, then clear his throat and ask in a daze, "What happened?"
Ferothkath felt very embarrassed and stuffed the blue dragon back into the encirclement of the dragons, not letting him speak again, and then explained awkwardly: "We are asking the magic dragon if there is any work in the Demon Realm that can involve the dragons."
Barlow nodded, looking at the dragons' expressions of fear and regret, he rolled his eyes and probably understood their thoughts - after all, the poor little goblin who had just entered the Demon King's Palace was also immersed in the fear of being killed by the demons every day, and was very familiar with this feeling of uneasiness.
"Although we haven't known each other for long, in my heart, you are already my good friends," he said with a big smile, "The farming team does have some serious tasks that you can do. In that case, I will go and talk to the king for you."
Since it was the dragons who bumped into him, he could not be blamed for extending the dragons' original 100-year compulsory labor period and tricking them into doing the work of transforming the land, the goblin Barlow thought cunningly, and under the grateful gazes of the dragons, he walked towards the direction of the Demon King's Palace with the dragon.
