The "Dragon" is a legendary creature that is completely different from the "Divine Dragon" of the East. It is like a giant lizard with wings. It is ranked as the oldest race of Parnagi along with the "Elves" and "Vampires" - except for the "Demons".
To humans, all dragons look similar, with one wing, one head, four claws and a tail, the only differences being in shape or color.
The reason why Lin Yuan and the other two could recognize that the two dragons on the door were Song Mingzhe's relatives was very simple - the dragon clan was fighting internally, and they tried every means to get rid of Song Mingzhe, but he wiped them out. The dragon clan is proud by nature and does not want to be inferior to others. Therefore, signing a contract with a dragon clan and taming it as a mount is often the most humiliating way.
After Song Mingzhe suppressed the rebellion within the clan, he packed up those uncles and aunts who were still harboring evil intentions and threw them to the other students in Class 9. If anyone was planning to sign a contract with them, they could choose from them at will.
——There has always been a saying in Parnaki that "the earlier a race is born, the stronger it is." Although there is no basis for this saying, the "human race," which was born last, is not inferior to other races in overall strength. However, the dragon race, one of the three original races, is the undisputed "strongest." Even before Rui Hang was born as the "Lord of the Demons," he was able to slightly suppress the demons.
It was at that time that Lin Yuan and the other two met the restless relatives of Song Mingzhe's family. One of the contracted beasts in Lin Lang's hand is the "Mind Dragon" which Bai Luo jokingly calls the "Dragon of Imagination". There are also many students in the class who have signed contracts with dragons, such as the "Emerald Dragon" signed by Shen Qiting, the "White Dragon" signed by Xiao Shichuan, and even Rui Hang couldn't help but sign a "Black Dragon" which was also jokingly called the "Ender Dragon" by Bai Luo. After being contracted, this "Black Dragon" shed its flesh and blood and mutated into a "Bone Dragon", which is now Rui Hang's mount.
However, there were only 25 people in the class, and even if everyone contracted a dragon, it would not be enough to divide up Song Mingzhe's family. So Song Mingzhe threw some of the dragons that were easy to control to the auction house and made a lot of money. As for the rest of the dragons that were difficult to control, Song Mingzhe was too lazy to spend money to raise these annoying things, so he directly sealed them in the cemetery of "Dragon Island" where the dragons lived.
Dragons are naturally strong, and can survive even if they lose their flesh and blood and only have bones left. If even the bones are gone, and only the soul remains, the powerful magic contained in the "soul circuit" can allow the dragon's soul to survive for thousands of years without dissipating. Even if it is burned by "karma fire", it will take at least several decades.
Being too powerful also brings huge constraints to the dragon race. Perhaps it is the constraints left by the "Creator God" when he created the world. The more powerful the race is, the more difficult it is to reproduce. For example, the elves cannot reproduce among their own race, but need to use the "Tree of Life" to breed pure elf offspring. Although the blood race can reproduce on their own, the speed of breeding life is extremely slow and extremely difficult. Therefore, if the blood race wants to expand their race, they can only forcibly transform the lives of other races into blood races through the "First Embrace". The reproduction of the dragon race is more difficult than that of the blood race, and they cannot use the quick and convenient transformation method of "First Embrace". In the nearly infinite life of a giant dragon, it can only lay three dragon eggs at most, and the breeding time of a dragon egg is at least a hundred years, and it is not impossible to say that it takes a thousand years.
Buried in the Dragon Island cemetery are the few dragon clan members who have died over tens of thousands of years.
Song Mingzhe directly extracted the souls of these relatives and exchanged all their flesh and blood for money - the dragon clan was full of treasures, even a drop of dragon blood could be sold at a sky-high price in the outside world. The souls were sealed in the cemetery, letting them watch the dead bones of the dragon clan fall into endless loneliness, until the last bit of the soul's power was exhausted and fell into true "death".
As for these dragons who regretted their decision halfway and wanted to beg for mercy from Song Mingzhe?
This kind of thing is impossible. With the dignity of the dragon race, they will never allow themselves to wag their tails and beg for mercy from the winner after defeat. However, once they are "tamed" and become contracted beasts, they will be devoted to their masters and loyal to them.
In a sense, this race is all one-track-minded.
It might not be possible for a dragon to enter the dragon cemetery for a hundred years, so after sealing this group of uncles, aunts and cousins, Song Mingzhe never paid attention to these annoying relatives for the next few hundred years, and never set foot in the cemetery again, so that his own "ancestral tomb" unknowingly traveled through Parnaki and came to the earth, and Song Mingzhe was completely unaware.
Su Mu looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that after Song Mingzhe locked the dragon in the cemetery, he specially renovated his ancestral tomb. The gate is made of a whole piece of magic crystal! Song Mingzhe spent a lot of money. It seems that he is not that cruel to these relatives. "
"Is there a possibility that he just has obsessive-compulsive disorder and wants to renovate every corner of the island when he makes money?" Lin Lang said very understandingly: "Dragons like shiny and beautiful things like this."
Lin Yuan added: "Besides, the wool comes from the sheep. They decorate this place so gorgeously, but these dragons themselves can't live here. They are sealed like door gods, and can only be forced to look at the treasures in the house that they bought with their own flesh and blood every day..."
Su Mu gasped: "Wow, if I were his relative, I would be furious."
Song Mingzhe always looked reserved and easily irritated in front of them, but he never lost his temper. I didn't expect that he would be so cruel to his relatives.
But it's not just Song Mingzhe. How many of them who have experienced power struggles don't have any tricks? They are just good-tempered in front of their classmates.
An Xueyi's voice interrupted the private chat of the three people: "We have been here for almost half a month, but unfortunately, until now, we have not found a way to open the door to the secret realm."
"Isn't it impossible to open it?" Su Mu complained: "This is the seal of the dragon clan. If you can open it, how can the dragon clan survive?"
Not to mention the Earthlings who have not yet truly come into contact with the magic core, even in Parnaki, except for the dragons themselves, almost no one can forcibly break into the dragon's cemetery.
"By the way, what are the conditions for entering the Dragon Clan Cemetery?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.
Lin Lang, the only one among the three who had signed a contract with the dragon clan, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly: "Song Mingzhe seemed to have mentioned it before. It seems that the breath must be strong enough to be confirmed as that of the dragon clan in order to open the cemetery..."
Lin Yuan: "......"
Su Mu: "......"
Lin Lang: "...Fuck!"
Although she hadn't fully recovered her magic power, her 'soul circuit' was still there! Aren't contracted beasts usually residing in the 'soul circuit' of the contractor in the form of souls?
Su Mu asked blankly: "How strong is the dragon you signed?"
Lin Lang replied in the same dull tone: "...It is said that he is ranked in the top five among that group of relatives, and he has a legitimate royal bloodline."
Silence is a farewell to Cambridge, but when Lin Yuan and the other two were silent, the two dragons that had been sleeping on the door for a hundred years finally became lively.
The "other world" (Earth) lacks magic power. In order to reduce the loss of souls, the two dragons in charge of guarding fell into a deep sleep after crossing over. They rarely opened their eyes in a hundred years. The dragons disdained other races. Even though they knew they were no longer shackled on Dragon Island, they never thought of causing a commotion to attract outsiders to help them break the seal and escape from the cemetery. It was not that these dragons did not want freedom, but they proudly believed that except for the dragons, outsiders would never be able to help them break the seal, especially in this world where magic power could not be felt at all.
A hundred years passed in a flash, and the underground cemetery was finally discovered. A group of humans holding strange things made a commotion at the gate for half a month, and they were too lazy to open their eyes to see what these people were doing.
Until a familiar breath suddenly appeared in the air - it was the breath of their former companion, one of the most powerful warriors in their dragon clan, the "Mind Dragon".
The two dragons finally couldn't sit still anymore.
An Xueyi was still sharing the results of their exploration with the three people, especially Su Mu, such as the door of unknown composition that could not be opened. For example, they dug on the side of the door in a roundabout way and finally found a magical cave full of mutants at the door. During this period, the "travelers" and staff were busy collecting plant samples from the cave, but the mutants in this cave were very dangerous. It was this cave that they were going to enter later. Su Mu knew that these people might have gone to the wrong place and did not enter the real cemetery at all. The cave they entered was probably formed by the erosion of overflowing magic power over a hundred years. However, even if it was just an accessory to the cemetery, it was dangerous enough for today's humans.
But An Xueyi's enthusiasm was soon interrupted by an unexpected change. He stared blankly at the two doors - the lifelike dragon carvings on them, which had their eyes closed, suddenly opened their eyes, revealing amber vertical pupils.
There was complete silence all around, as everyone stared blankly at the stone sculpture that had suddenly "come alive". Then they were so frightened by the terrifying pressure emanating from the giant pupils that their brains went blank.
At this moment in the cave, the "travelers" who had no idea what was happening above were surprised to find that the originally ferocious and extremely dangerous mutants seemed to be collectively stimulated. They fell to the ground like a ball of mud and could no longer do anything except trembling.
"Oh no! The pressure from the dragons is very deadly to those with weak wills!" Lin Lang said anxiously: "Hurry up and give me your magic power. I will open a barrier to block the pressure from these two dragons!"
Before Lin Lang finished speaking, and before Lin Yuan and Su Mu could react, the scientists who were shocked by the dragon quickly regained their composure... no, it should be said that they were fanatical and excited, as if they had discovered a new continent. They rushed to the door with their instruments regardless of their posture, scanning and detecting in one go. There were even a few brave ones who tried to poke the dragon's eyes directly to see if it was just a stone carving mechanism or if it really had a reaction.
The military leaders who were in charge of coordinating the scene and conducting security work also quickly regained their composure and calmly said to the soldiers: "Come on, everyone, be alert. We are all party members. They are just two Western dragons. There is no need to make a fuss about such monsters. They are not worthy of being in the upper class in our Eastern society!"
The only ones who were shocked were the "travelers" who traveled to Parnaki in their dreams. However, their reactions were completely different from the panic that Lin Yuan and the other two had imagined.
"Oh my god! It's a dragon! It's a living dragon!"
"Mom, I saw a live dragon!"
"My goodness, this is so handsome!"
"I always feel that no dragon in the game looks as majestic as this one."
Lin Lang and the other two: "......"
I almost forgot that dragons are an element that has been overused in fantasy works, and the people on Earth are really "well-informed" and not afraid of them at all - not to mention that those "time travelers" have never come into contact with such a high-level race as the dragon clan during their adventure in Parnaqui, and have no idea how dangerous it is.
The only people who were sweating profusely besides Lin Lang and his threesome were An Xueyi, who knew Parnaki best and had heard of the name of the Dragon Clan.
"Everyone, be careful. Dragons are very dangerous in Parnaki! Don't make them angry!" An Xueyi shouted hurriedly. He was even worried that others couldn't hear his voice, so he used magic power to amplify his voice.
Unfortunately, An Xueyi's worries were nothing compared to the scientists' thirst for knowledge and the army's determination to explore the ruins: "Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, we will escort you away even at the cost of our lives! You time travelers are the treasures of mankind and the hope of the future. We will never let you get hurt. But we are different from you. The moment we came here to perform the mission, we have already put life and death aside and are ready to sacrifice!"
Colonel Tan, who was in charge, spoke in a resounding voice, and everyone else, from soldiers to scientists, also had firm eyes and showed no intention of backing down.
"But this is a dragon..."
"Don't worry." Colonel Tan said, "When the ruins were discovered, the country's weapons system had already locked onto this place. If any accident occurs, this area will be razed to the ground quickly after you leave."
Lin Yuan and the other two fell into a rare long silence.
Su Mu sighed: "Lin Yuan, I understand your guilt."
If there weren't so many pros and cons behind their identities, Su Mu would have felt a little guilty looking at those determined eyes.
The souls of the dragons need magic to support them, and the magic that seals them also needs magic to support them. With the current magic power of the earth, the sealing magic must have been weakened a lot. If these dragons are determined to break the seal, perhaps the current seal will not be able to hold them for long.
"If it doesn't work, then just expose yourself." Lin Lang was more relaxed than Su Mu thought: "If these dragons really break through the seal, we have no other way to stop them except to expose our identities, right? We can't just watch the others go up and die like gourd dolls."
"Whether we are exposed or not is secondary." Lin Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Do you think that with our current level, we can really stop the dragon in the Dragon Tomb?"
A drop of cold sweat slid down Su Mu's forehead: "Don't joke, with the current level of the three of us, we should be thankful that we can subdue a dragon!"
Lin Lang suggested: "Why not go get some help, call everyone in the class over, at worst we can just fight a group battle."
Lin Yuan: "...Are you sure you want to call Song Mingzhe over?"
Su Mu said faintly: "Why do I feel that if we pull him over, these dragons will fight even more happily?"
Lin Lang: "......"
Teacher Rui - is Teacher Rui here? Please save her!
"You guys stay here for me, I'll go contact Teacher Rui!" Lin Lang was a man of action, and as soon as she thought of it, she was ready to return to the ground and contact Rui Hang with her phone. Unfortunately, before she could take action, the two dragons who had spent a long time trying to understand human language gave up their idea, turned their huge eyes, and looked at Lin Lang.
“Human.” The ancient language came out from the mouth of the red dragon, Uncle Song Mingzhe, on the right. As soon as the magical language came out, the surrounding air and magic quickly vibrated, as if boiling: “You have the breath of the dragon race on you. What is your relationship with that kid Taiyamos (Song Mingzhe)!”
Lin Lang: “…”
Should she answer this question or not?
Fortunately, Song Mingzhe's uncle Sky Dragon snorted disdainfully: "She has the aura of Iradriel (Mind Dragon), she must be that boy's accomplice. Oh, a dignified Dragon King is hanging out with a group of humans and signing a contract with them, it's ridiculous!"
Lin Lang and the other two: “???”
Now that you say this, we won’t be sleepy anymore!
Fighting is no match for eating classmates' melons... No, caring about your classmates' lives is more important!
Lin Lang quickly released illusions and barriers to block his voice and movements, and said in the Dragon language: "Two seniors, just now you said that Song...Tiamos had signed a contract with a human? May I ask who did he sign the contract with?"
The red dragon looked at Lin Lang coldly, not caring about her "little trick". Maybe it was because he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, but he usually didn't bother to respond to humans. Today, he was a little interested and answered slowly: "If he doesn't say it himself, how would we know? The dignified Dragon King is actually someone else's 'plaything', which is unreasonable and a disgrace to our dragon clan! How can we let this kind of dragon become the king of the dragon clan!"
Lin Lang and the other two: "......"
I don’t know what the hell you are talking about!
But the reason for the dragon clan's rebellion was that Song Mingzhe had signed a life contract with someone else? I don't know if the person who signed the contract with him was a classmate. If so, it would be a lot of fun.
But "playthings" or something like that, is that how you dragons view those dragons that have signed contracts? Damn your self-esteem!
The three of them said in their hearts at the same time.
As the common topic of the entire tomb and the biggest point of contempt, the two dragons could no longer stop talking. All kinds of unpleasant words came out one after another, and they wished they could curse back all the losses of the past hundred years.
Different from the anger of the two dragons, the staff around them who could not understand the dragon language at all were in complete excitement.
"What are they talking about!"
"Record it now!"
"Where's the linguist! Where's the linguist!"
Lin Yuan and the other two who could understand the Dragon language: "......"
Is there a possibility that these dragons are just bad-mouthing?
In the chaos, Su Mu took out his cell phone.
"What are you doing?" Su Mu was the only one who recorded the video, so his actions did not arouse suspicion from others. But as someone who could understand the Dragon language, Lin Yuan was a little confused about why Su Mu recorded the video.
Su Mu's eyes were filled with joy, and he blinked at Lin Yuan: "How could he miss the "love education" from his uncle Song Mingzhe?"
Lin Yuan: “…”
I have to say, he is really Song Mingzhe’s “good classmate”!
