Chapter 73
Serego was scared.
He greatly underestimated the strength of the human in front of him.
He was not an ordinary magician. He had a vast magic power that could shock dragons. He also mastered ancient magic with powerful killing power. His strength was unfathomable. Even as a holy dragon, he did not have absolute confidence that he could defeat this human.
He just slept. When did humans become so powerful? !
Or was it just that his luck was particularly bad and he happened to meet the strongest among humans? !
When Serego came to his senses, his instinct had already urged him to make the wisest choice. He lowered his proud head like a dragon and humiliated himself to the human in front of him. Soon, the terrifying sense of oppression disappeared, the pressure on his body disappeared, and even the stagnant air began to flow again.
Jiang Li looked at the dragon in front of him in confusion.
Is that it?
He hadn't done anything yet, not even the magic that he had been preparing for a long time had been used. He thought it would be a tough battle, so he was very serious and used the powerful magic that the elf teacher taught him. It was more difficult than other magic when he first learned it, but he didn't expect...
It seems that the dragons in the other world are not as dangerous as he imagined. Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Li still didn't put down the staff in his hand, and looked at the huge and dangerous creature in front of him vigilantly: "We should have reached a consensus. The slave issue no longer counts."
"Ah..." The dragon growled, and when he saw that the human was still not letting down his guard, he said humbly: "Yes."
Augustus' face was pale, covered in cold sweat, his brilliant golden hair stuck to his cheeks, and he couldn't recover from the terrifying feeling just now for a while. But he still remembered to hold the weapon in his hand: "Why did you attack us?"
Serego said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't attack you."
"Then..."
"I just smelled a fragrance, and you broke into my territory first..." The dragon's eyes turned, and he suddenly became righteous and raised his head: "Yes, it was you two humans who broke in first, you should pay for it... cough!" He glanced at the staff in Jiang Li's hand, and his voice suddenly lowered: "...the great Holy Flame Dragon Serego forgives your mistakes."
Jiang Li and Augustus looked at each other.
Augustus immediately said, "Impossible."
Serego turned his head and said, "What's impossible?" "
If there were dragons active nearby, there wouldn't be monsters gathering nearby before. But when I went hunting tonight, I didn't find any trace of monsters. I originally thought it was bad luck, but now I think maybe it's because of the dragons that the monsters ran away." Augustus said, "You must have come later."
"Nonsense!" The dragon's tail slapped the ground angrily: "I stayed here and fell asleep hundreds of years ago."
Augustus was surprised: "Is that rumor true?"
Serego: "What rumor?"
Jiang Li interrupted and asked: "So you woke up by chance and pretended to be a human to approach us. What is your purpose?"
Serego said righteously: "I'm hungry, and your food smells so good."
Jiang Li: "..."
Augustus: "..."
They took the initiative to invite people, and they also voluntarily provided food. If there is anything wrong, it's just that they are unlucky. They didn't meet a lone adventurer, but a hungry dragon.
Jiang Li sighed and continued to clean up the mess in the camp.
It was so late, and they had to sleep here again at night, so they had to rearrange the place. The tent was re-laid, the bonfire was lit, the mosquito coils were lit, the insect repellent was sprinkled, and the magic of prevention was left behind...
When Jiang Li had everything ready, he found that the red dragon had not left yet.
It lay down in a very good mood, watching the busy humans in front of it with relish, as if observing ants, and its tail swayed from time to time. During this time, when Augustus put the firewood and prepared to light the bonfire, it kindly helped to spray a mouthful of fire.
When Jiang Li looked over, it immediately stood up, and its huge body blocked the moonlight.
Jiang Li was puzzled: "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Serego said: "I've made up my mind, I'm going to follow you!"
Jiang Li: "...Follow me?"
"I want to eat the delicious food like before again... No, I want to eat it every day." The dragon's golden eyes were full of longing for food: "I want to go to the supermarket with you. Is there any better food there?"
"No." Jiang Li refused without thinking: "You are too dangerous for the residents in the city."
The young city lord of Duolei City nodded beside him.
Not everyone has the strength of Jiang Li, and the destructive power of the dragon is very strong. Even if it just sneezes unintentionally, it will cause a disaster. They can't let such a dangerous creature walk around in the city-state.
"I can transform into a human form." Serego said, "Once, one of my kind signed a magic contract with you humans. It can enter and exit human cities at will until the human's life comes to an end."
Jiang Li looked at Augustus: Is there such a thing?
Augustus nodded, "Hundreds of years ago, there was a knight named Arthur. He had a dragon companion who accompanied him through life and death. After his death, the dragon still guarded his tomb."
Jiang Li turned his head and still said, "But I don't need it."
"You will want it." Serego raised his head confidently: "I allow you to ride on me."
Jiang Li: "...Ah?"
Serego was complacent, and he was fully confident that he would not be rejected.
Just like the blond human next to him, his eyes were brighter than the gems in the dragon's nest at this moment. Serego knew that humans could not refuse to conquer a dragon. Riding on the back of a dragon
was just like letting humans ride on its back. To him, tiny humans were like ants on his body. He did not need to pay any price at all. He only needed to give up a small and insignificant space on his back, and humans would take the initiative to offer delicious food and respectfully serve him as a servant.
Humph! The great Serego was extremely wise!
Augustus' eyes lit up as he looked at Jiang Li, his eyes full of impatience.
This is definitely the dream of every child in Lalan Continent. They grew up listening to stories about dragons, and they aspire to become the heroes who defeated the evil dragons and demons as described by the bards. If they could conquer a dragon as a mount, it would be really...really cool!
With a magic contract, they can order the dragon not to harm humans at will, which can also ensure the safety of the residents of Dore City.
Even if you don't have the dream of becoming a dragon rider, it's super cool to keep a dragon at home!
But...
Jiang Li said hesitantly: "But... I like furry ones."
Serego: "..."
Serego: "..."
Serego: "Roar!!!!"
...
In the early morning, Jiang Li was awakened by the rustling noise outside.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that the zipper of his tent had been opened by someone, and a huge golden eye replaced the scenery outside.
Jiang Li: "..."
Seeing him wake up, the dragon let out a roar from the depths of its throat as a greeting.
It stepped back to let Jiang Li out of the tent, then lowered its head and used its snout to push the tables, chairs, and tableware that were placed together in front of Jiang Li. The big tail behind it swayed happily, and its eyes were full of anticipation.
It's time for breakfast!
Jiang Li opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw the tragic scene in the surrounding forest that was like a tornado passing through, he swallowed the rest of his words.
There's no way, who made this a dragon that would play tricks.
When he saw with his own eyes a dragon as big as a small mountain jumping, roaring and rolling around in place, the shock he brought was no less than the first time he crossed over. By the time he reacted, the trees around him had been crushed by the dragon.
In the end, it was Augustus who proposed a solution.
Knowing that the dragon would not give up its obsession with food, and since it could not be stopped from coming to Dolei City no matter what, the young city lord Dean made up his mind in one breath and simply invited it to become a resident of Dolei City. However, the premise was that it must appear in the city in the form of a human, and must not harm humans or violate the laws of Dolei City.
Dolei City already has many non-human residents, and this is the first time a dragon has appeared.
The temptation of food was so great that in order to continue to eat the delicious food, Serego had to agree. After all, the food was in Jiang Li's hands, and he couldn't beat Jiang Li.
But Serego had his own ideas.
A brilliant idea was born in his mind, and he had been thinking about it all night. While waiting for breakfast to be cooked, the dragon shook its tail happily, and the earth shook from time to time because of his movements.
Feeling the gaze coming from behind, Jiang Li: "..."
He pretended not to see it, and quickly cooked breakfast with the remaining ingredients, and divided the food in the pot into three equal parts, one for each person, without any extra.
The dragon transformed into a human form and quickly finished his breakfast which was not enough to fill his stomach. When Jiang Li folded up the tent and put all the luggage back into the magic backpack, Serego transformed back to his original form.
"Roar--"
The red dragon stretched out its bat-like wings and slammed its thick tail on the ground. It raised its head and roared towards the sun. Its scales, as dazzling as flames, shone brightly in the sunlight, shining like rubies.
Throwing the two humans and the car onto his back, Serego flapped his wings and flew excitedly towards the direction of Dolei City.
As long as humans can experience the feeling of riding a dragon, they will definitely agree to become his dragon!
No one can refuse a dragon!
