Chapter 105: Discussing Magic Godwin's View of Humanity...
The way Godwin looked at humans was like the awkward laughter of an authoritative figure when someone questioned whether he could solve elementary school math problems.
Godwin snorted lightly, his disdain evident.
In reality, this question, posed to any dragon, would easily be seen as a provocation. Godwin didn't doubt the sincerity of his followers. They worshipped him so deeply that they couldn't possibly intend to rebel. He just wanted to complain that the human followers' attempts at flattery were misplaced.
The purpose of this clumsy way of flattery is too obvious.
Godwin's mood inexplicably brightened. Looking at the believer's sincere expression, he thought her acting was superb. If he hadn't seen through her lame excuse beforehand, he might have been fooled.
Shen Jiang was confused and waited for the dragon's response. Seeing Godwin's strange expression, she carefully explained, "I want to take this precious giant tree from Dragon Mountain home with me, but it's too big now. I can't take it with me in its current state."
Once she got the dragon's blood tree home, she'd keep it as a miniature potted plant. If anyone asked, she'd just say it was a fake, newly bought bonsai. Since their dragon's blood tree was already extinct, no one would believe she had a real miniature one. When it came time to harvest the dragon's blood, she could just take it from the shrunken dragon's blood tree and then enlarge it to its original size without drawing attention.
Godwin frowned, seizing the loophole in the believer's words: "Home? You call the place where you are imprisoned home?"
Shen Jiang was stunned by the question and hurriedly explained, "Because my only family is there. For me, home is wherever my family is."
Godwin agrees. "It's true that home is where your family is. Although I've lived in many places, I've never felt a particular sense of belonging."
There was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
With both parents dead and a fortune, the big boss can truly be called the dream lover of many women in her world.
"Lord Godwin, can I ask you a favor?" Shen Jiang suddenly asked seriously.
"What?"
"I'd like to ask you not to destroy that golden door," Shen Jiang took a deep breath. "It's a treasure I obtained by chance. With it, I can escape from my confinement and be by your side. If it's damaged, I may never see you again."
In fact, Shen Jiang was more worried that something might happen and she would be stuck in another world forever, and then she would never see her grandmother again.
Godwin's tail swung rapidly, and it was as if a gentle breeze blew into his chest, blowing away the haze that had been weighing on his heart for days, and his whole face suddenly relaxed a lot.
Look at the believer's frightened look, she just can't accept not seeing him. When he thinks that when he is in a bad mood, the believer on the other side is also in the same mood, this strange feeling makes Godwin very happy.
He took out the magic item given to him by the Silver Dragon from a certain space and handed it to the believer.
Shen Jiang looked at the exquisite mirror lying quietly on the dragon's claws, with a puzzled look on his face.
"This is a magical item crafted by a silver dragon, allowing its holder to communicate across space and space. I originally wanted to use it to summon you..." Godwin changed the subject and said matter-of-factly, "If you wish to pay your respects to the great Godwin, I allow you to occasionally disturb me."
Shen Jiang was impressed by the big boss's narcissistic self-confidence. He was flattered to take the mirror from his hand, and thought to himself, could this prop be a variant of the video phone?
The mirror fit perfectly in Godwin's hand, but in Shen Jiang's, it was as big as a TV screen, which was obviously unreasonable. Godwin casually shrunk the mirror in Shen Jiang's hand.
Godwin aimed his dragon claws at the giant mirror, and his sharp nails traced out a magic circle. Then the magic circle took shape in the air and continued to expand. The light enveloped the large mirror in Shen Jiang's hand, and the mirror shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye in an instant, and finally became the size of a mobile phone.
Shen Jiang: The master’s teaching is really practical, and he arrived so quickly.
She had a good memory, and the movements that Godwin had just demonstrated were disassembled and reorganized in her mind as if in slow motion. Shen Jiang tentatively drew an identical magic circle, and the dragon blood tree on the ground soon shrank into a pocket-sized size under the effect of the shrinking magic circle.
Shen Jiang watched as the wood magic energy on the tree became increasingly dense and condensed as it shrank in size. A look of satisfaction crossed his face. "As expected of Lord Godwin's magic, it's simple and highly effective."
Godwin didn't care and was very arrogant.
Shen Jiang walked over and planned to pick up the extremely small and delicate dragon blood tree. However, although the dragon blood tree was reduced in size, its weight did not change. Shen Jiang tried his best but still failed to pick up this "little tree".
Godwin was silent for a moment, then walked around her and, with a light touch, he took the "small" mushroom-shaped tree in his palm and played with it. Then he looked back at her, as if to say: How come you can't even lift this?
Shen Jiang felt like vomiting blood.
The power of a dragon is the strongest in the world, not to mention that Godwin is a strong dragon, so the weight of several thousand kilograms is naturally nothing to him.
But she's human! An ordinary human woman who weighs just over 100 pounds. Even if she's a magician, she's just an ordinary magician. Don't be too ridiculous, sir.
"Lord Godwin, your strength is unmatched. It's all my fault. I wonder if you can simultaneously reduce the size and cast a spell that reduces the weight by an equal amount?"
Godwin raised his eyebrows and looked at her, not sure whether he thought she was meddling or was praising her for her cleverness. However, he did not speak. Instead, he directly drew another magic circle and used it on the dragon blood tree.
Shen Jiang memorized the magic circle he had just drawn. This time when she went to get it, the dragon blood tree weighed only a few dozen pounds, which was obviously reasonable.
Shen Jiang gave the black dragon a sly smile, "Lord Godwin, please take a look at my magic circle, is it correct?"
She used the magic circle that Godwin had just constructed to reverse the magic circle that restored weight, and the dragon blood tree became so big that Shen Jiang couldn't hold it anymore.
The human's dazzling smile still lingered before Godwin's eyes. He came to his senses and scoffed, "Rebellion."
Shen Jiang said happily: "That's right, now I have mastered the magic circle that can make things lighter or heavier. When I go back, I will make it return to its original weight so that no one can steal it."
"What a waste of time."
I have to say that his followers are quite smart. For so many years, she has been delayed in learning magic.
"This is called preparing for a rainy day. Lord Godwin faces these dragon blood trees every day, so he naturally doesn't know how precious they are."
Of course he knows, Godwin thought.
As long as it was a token of his love, his followers would cherish it like a jewel. He had known this principle of loving someone and loving their dog long ago.
Shen Jiang saw Ellis's sneaky figure not far away and asked casually, "Lord Godwin, are you satisfied with the two humans I brought with me? Did they not offend you?"
Godwin thought for a long time before he remembered the humans she was talking about. They usually stayed in the back mountain. Not to mention getting close to his dragon blood tree, they only came to the sunny side of the mountain where there were dragon blood trees a few times.
"He's just an insignificant fellow, not worth mentioning."
Seeing that Godwin was not averse to the presence of Ellis and others, Shen Jiang felt much more relieved.
Shen Jiang put away the dragon blood tree, politely took his leave, and planned to go find Ellis and the others.
Godwin looked at the believer and felt that her leaving figure revealed her reluctance to leave.
As his followers, how could they be imprisoned by an unknown force? Godwin's eyes were cold, and he was determined to free his followers from the haze that shrouded their miserable lives. Godwin spread his black bone wings and flew towards the sky.
Catherine didn't fall asleep until dawn. When she was half asleep, she heard the voice of the witch outside the door. She thought she was still dreaming and couldn't open her eyes in a state of half-asleep and half-awake.
"Sorry, Ellis. I'm late."
Ellis observed the witch's expression and felt relieved when he found that she was normal.
"You have nothing to apologize for, Mistress Witch. Seeing you safe and sound is simply the best thing I've ever felt."
Shen Jiang looked at the young man before her, his face filled with genuine concern for her, and a wave of guilt welled up in her heart. Yesterday's incident had happened suddenly, so she had made a sudden decision to escape to another world. But Ellis and Catherine, whom she had forgotten, were worried about her safety.
Shen Jiang said seriously, "Ellis, thank you and Catherine for your concern. This is my reward."
She took out three bags full of Philosopher's Stone from her backpack. These were the remaining Philosopher's Stones after going to her cousin's land. She had just given one bag to Godwin, and the rest were used to make up for her guilt.
Ellis was flattered and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, this is too expensive."
"You've done so much for me, these are what you deserve," Shen Jiang said sternly, "If you consider me a friend, you must accept them."
Seeing the serious face of the Witch, and thinking of her "emergency" this time, Ellis guessed that the Witch was in a bad mood at the moment, and immediately put away the Philosopher's Stone.
"If you find me missing for no reason like this time, you must leave Longshan immediately," Shen Jiang instructed. "Don't worry, once I come back, I will go to Ellis's relatives' house outside of Duogang City to look for you."
Ellis nodded, not quite understanding, his expression becoming more cautious.
