Chapter 2: Do I look like a fool to you? (Edited)
The sudden appearance of the human beings, from their behavior to their language, made the Fire Dragon Godwin Caesar fully realize what it means to be a sinister, cunning and unscrupulous human being.
Practicing strange black magic that is not worthy of being shown on the stage, and lying to his face without blinking, if such a person were allowed to declare himself a follower of Godwin Caesar...
Godwin could even imagine how infamous his reputation would become.
No, absolutely not.
"No, you are definitely not my believer."
Shen Jiang nodded in agreement, his attitude positive. "Before I get your approval, I can only be an ordinary admirer. But I admire you deeply, and I came here to get your permission in person."
Godwin: "I will never allow a despicable human being to become my follower. Shut up."
Shen Jiang was a little dumbfounded, as if she couldn't believe what she heard. What did she do to make her despicable?
The dragon in front of him didn't seem very smart. It kept refusing but didn't kill him directly.
Is his dragon really that good?
Godwin looked at the seemingly fragile human in front of him with a strange look, and he could not find out her magic level.
Even if Godwin Caesar could not identify her magical properties, as long as he thought carefully, this unprecedented magical method was not impossible to investigate.
The first was the legendary Divine Resurrection Magic, a top-level magic that required not only sufficient magical power but also the blessing of the God of Light. If the person truly believed in the God of Light, they would never claim to be his worshiper. Godwin had heard of some people who believed in the God of Light. These people regarded the God of Light as sacred and inviolable, even at death, and would not change their faith.
What's more, those guys are famous for advocating top-level magical power, so how could they let their bodies be so fragile?
It could only be dark magic, which was very consistent with the black-haired, black-eyed human in front of him.
This kind of secret, ancient and powerful magic restriction must be extremely deadly. After all, being able to bring the dead back to life is so incredible that one of the conditions for using it may be that the body must be extremely weak.
Godwin felt that his speculation was very reasonable.
Godwin Caesar made his judgment without hesitation:
Although the opponent is weaker than a bug in some ways, his magical power is absolutely unfathomable.
This kind of fragility is entirely intentional on the part of human beings.
The motivation for using her magic is definitely to trigger death and then be reborn from death.
Godwin had never encountered such a troublesome guy before. He could neither kill him nor drive him away.
Even if all the most powerful human knights and magicians were put together, they could not give the Fire Dragon Godwin a headache like her.
*
A strange silence arose and spread between the dragon and the man.
Shen Jiang couldn't tell whether she was in pain or numbness at this moment. The silence before the storm made her feel extremely depressed.
"Will you allow me to become your believer?" Shen Jiang asked cautiously.
This was the first time I encountered such a flattering human being. The completely unbelievable words spoken from that harmless white face were like the charm of a succubus, and they unconsciously became more credible.
not good.
Godwin Caesar's heart was filled with alarm. He was almost bewitched by the non-threatening and confusing face of the human in front of him.
Godwin Caesar quickly rejected the idea of locking up humans.
Wasn't keeping her locked up right under his nose a constant reminder of his incompetence? Being unable to kill such a tiny, frail human was a profound humiliation for a dragon as powerful as him.
Godwin Caesar's golden eyes narrowed dangerously, as if he wanted to peer into the other person's soul through his eyes. However, all he could sense from the other person was the warmth and gentleness of nature, something not possessed by a cunning and vicious human.
Confusion flashed across the Black Dragon's golden pupils once again. Could a human disguise be so effective? Could this person truly be his follower?
"Why do you worship me?" Godwin Caesar lowered his head nonchalantly and continued to stare at the human under him.
Shen Jiang's face was filled with surprise. "Don't you know that your amazing legend has long been renowned throughout the continent? In the hearts of countless people like me, you are our spiritual leader."
Godwin Caesar flicked his tail behind him. "Oh? Really? You admire me because I'm powerful?"
Shen Jiang nodded quickly, but the Black Dragon snorted again: "I don't need an incompetent believer like you."
Get out of here now, the farther the better.
Shen Jiang was stunned by the dragon's words that were filled with murderous intent and he almost foresaw his own death. His brain started to work frantically again.
"I know I'm weak, especially in front of you. A being as powerful as you might not understand, but I still want to tell you about my experience.
The black dragon endured the noise of the human in front of it, its huge golden eyes filled with impatience.
"You know, I left my mother when I was very young." Shen Jiang raised his hand and gestured at the air at knee height. "I was only this tall back then."
Godwin Caesar's golden dragon eyes blinked, as if he could see through the thoughts of the human in front of him.
What is this human doing?
Do you think you can win his sympathy by acting pitiful?
You must know that in the world of dragons, only true warriors are worthy of respect. For those incompetent rats who want to get a chance of survival by kneeling and begging for mercy at the end of their lives, showing weakness is simply seeking death.
The weak will only further stimulate the dragon's more brutal and cruel side.
Godwin Caesar had just lamented the human's powerful magic, only to stray from the right path. Now, he felt ashamed to have such a believer, and the Black Dragon's eyes gradually turned cold.
"If it weren't for you, I think I would still be being bullied. If it weren't for finding you and following you, I wouldn't know that the world outside is so vast and wonderful."
Godwin Caesar was stunned. "Because of me?"
When had he ever helped a little human girl? How come he didn't know it?
"It's a long story. After I became an orphan, I went to an orphanage that took in orphans like us. There were many children there, but very few supplies. Every day I only had a little food and some barely warm clothes. There, the other children ganged up on me and bullied me terribly."
It's obvious that with her thin body, who else can we bully if not her?
Then how did she grow up to be what she is now? If it wasn't innate, it wouldn't be easy to possess such powerful magic power later in life.
Godwin Caesar's curiosity was gradually aroused, and he waited for her to finish her story.
"Don't laugh at me, I was really scared at first." Shen Jiang smiled slightly, his eyes shining with an indescribable brilliance. "But then I started having a strange dream. In the dream, a black dragon kept calling me, asking me to stand up and protect myself with my own strength. It said it was the most unparalleled existence in the world, and if I could do it, I would become its believer."
Godwin Caesar was stunned. Black Dragon?
As far as he knew, he was the only black dragon left in the world.
Shen Jiang continued, "Depending on the faith the black dragon in my dream gave me, I fought back for the first time. Only then did I realize that resistance wasn't as difficult as I'd imagined, and they weren't as scary as I'd imagined.
It was the Black Dragon in my dream that gave me the strength and courage to resist. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have taken that step. Later, I finally walked out of there and walked step by step to your side. Look at my black hair and black eyes. I am honored to have the same black color as you.
Godwin Caesar listened intently, and in his stunned state he unconsciously loosened some of his restraints on humans.
Dragons don't know much about humans. The magic books stored in the library of the Dragon Magic Academy only record humans' greed, shamelessness, cunning and fickleness. Therefore, all human intruders who covet the treasure are killed by Godwin Caesar in the first time.
The moment the claws in front of him loosened, a large amount of fresh air finally rushed into his chest. Shen Jiang couldn't wait to breathe heavily, and was still thinking about what to do next in a panic.
"Since you are my believer, what treasures have you prepared to offer to me?" The dragon's thunderous voice sounded again.
Shen Jiang's breathing was slightly sluggish.
Treasure? What treasure?
"Um?"
The lazy ending tone was drawn out, carrying a hint of murderous intent, as if this was the most natural process.
Shen Jiang had never expected that the evil dragon's first reaction after hearing the story would be to ask for gifts.
Forcing her to choose between money and life, this act of bullying, taken for granted, almost shattered her innocent and pious expression.
Shen Jiang, who was struggling to survive in the cracks, knew that if she couldn't come up with a decent treasure, the pile of bones not far away would be her fate.
Her eyes swept over the dazzling sparkles beneath the black dragon, and she couldn't help but complain about the dragon's extravagant taste. She was just an ordinary person who had just entered the workforce and had only been working for a few years. Not to mention that she had no money, even if she had money, she couldn't match this man's discerning taste.
Any one of the glittering gold in his treasure house might be worth more than her entire fortune.
The only thing Shen Jiang had on him.
All she had was the amulet her grandmother gave her.
At critical moments, it really became my amulet.
Even though she was reluctant, Shen Jiang still raised her arm and stretched it towards her neck. With just this one step, she should be able to gain the dragon's trust. But would the dragon be interested in the small piece of green jade in her hand?
Shen Jiang took out the pendant from her neck with difficulty from her collar. Before she could put a value on the jade, Black Dragon had already hooked the thin chain from her hand and looked at the small stone that was not even the size of his fingernail.
Seeing how reluctant she was to let it go, he thought it was something good.
He must have seen it right. When she was at the entrance of the cave, she looked at the treasures under her and must have set her sights on them.
That is the naked look of greed!
"You dare to tease the great dragon?"
"No, Lord Julong, this is the famous Imperial Green. Even a tiny piece is worth a fortune. It is the highest quality and most desirable color among jadeite..."
...What imperial green? He only saw the word green. Could it be that the human king was so short-sighted?
The black dragon looked at the human lying on the ground and talking nonsense with a look of idiocy, as if to say: "Do you think I am a fool?"
Shen Jiang said seriously, "A gem like this has a meaning beyond its value. It often represents status, and only the most noble status in the world can match it... Of course, it certainly cannot be compared with Lord Julong's treasures."
Shen Jiang said a lot of gibberish. In fact, she exaggerated the quality of the jade pendant a little, but looking at the disgusted look of the dragon, she was afraid that the dragon would not be able to feel her sincerity if she did not add some value to this small piece of jade.
She said that this jade pendant is more meaningful than the imperial green jade pendant. It is her coming-of-age gift from her grandmother and it is a treasure that her grandmother has treasured for a long time.
Godwin Caesar shook his ears impatiently, expressing his disdain for the shallow knowledge of human beings. Such a trivial thing is worth showing off.
All small broken gems will be treated as waste.
With a hook of its huge triangular claw, it casually threw the human's small green gem connected to the chain into its own pile of treasures. The crisp tinkling sound made Shen Jiang's heart tremble.
Ah! It hurts!
"Since you adore me so fanatically, why did you walk out of the cave when I first saw you?"
She was quite powerful, her origins were mysterious, and she certainly wasn't planning to escape. Unable to understand why, Godwin Caesar simply asked about his confusion.
Shen Jiang's secret joy and resentment came to an abrupt end when he saw the other party's death gaze.
Her frantic brain was obviously a little out of order at this moment. She didn't expect to shoot herself in the foot. She almost forgot that when the dragon discovered her, she was sneaking out to escape.
