"This young dragon, or dragon egg, was brought down from Beiruts Mountain. We accepted a bounty from a noble and learned that at a certain time, the ice dragon on Beiruts Mountain would leave its territory. We just took advantage of the ice dragon’s departure and took away the unhatched eggs from the mountain.”
"Ten days ago, the dragon egg we took away suddenly became active, which has affected our progress on the road, so we found Kuva Village and stayed here to find a way to quiet the dragon egg."
In order to prevent the ice dragon from chasing after the dragon egg's aura, several people from the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group were using elemental formations that could hide the aura to wrap the dragon egg on their way.
Most of the elemental arrays need to be fixed on specific objects, and the elemental array built for traveling is destined not to be too large. Therefore, as soon as the dragon egg becomes active, it can easily escape the range of the elemental array. , leaking his own breath.
So much so that the dragon-hunting mercenary group had to stop, while forcibly controlling the dragon egg, while looking for a way to restore the dragon egg's tranquility. Kuva Village was the closest, so it happened to be their destination.
"But now that I think about it, maybe the dragon egg has already reached the time of hatching." White shrugged helplessly. "Everyone knows that it takes more than ten years for a dragon egg to hatch. We also thought that it might take a few years before it hatches."
But often surprises come unexpectedly.
Dragon is a very powerful creature. Its power is reflected in various aspects, including that as soon as a young dragon hatches from a dragon egg, it immediately possesses powerful combat capabilities equivalent to those of low-level monsters, even if it has not yet hatched. At this time, you can sense the characteristics of external information in the dragon egg.
Although the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group has this name, they have never actually hunted dragons. The name just sounds domineering. The most tasks they usually accept are to hunt various low-level monsters.
Low-level monsters are full of value, from their bones and teeth to their flesh and fur, all of which can be dismantled into various elemental materials for sale. Therefore, along the way, these people from the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group are buying conscious dragon eggs. In front of him, superb monster anatomy skills were displayed.
These things successfully frightened the unhatched and ignorant young dragon among them, so that it became afraid of the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group in its heart. The most direct reaction was to control the egg and escape - maybe it was the dragon hunting mercenary group. There is no "egg" type among the prey, so the young dragon thinks that it is safe in the egg form, and consciously controls itself not to break out of the shell.
After several days of strict surveillance and control, the dragon egg finally found an opportunity to escape. The human Clyde who stayed to guard it was lured away and left the village.
So the dragon egg broke through the window and flew out...
The large oval-shaped hole in the window was still there. Almost at a glance, you could tell that the dragon egg flew out on its own, and not that Xiao Yuan "stole" the egg as Clyde initially believed.
White glanced at the red young dragon behind Lu Xi. There were some complicated thoughts in his eyes, but he concealed them well.
It can be guessed that Xiao Yuan wanted to go to Lu Xi to warn her of the approaching danger, but the main roads in the village were full of villagers. In order not to be discovered, Xiao Yuan could only take a detour and happened to pass by the door of Kenle's restaurant. , saw the dragon egg that had just broken out of the window.
Xiao Yuan didn't know what kind of dragon egg it was, but it was interested in all kinds of eggs. When it first saw such a big egg, it almost couldn't walk. After all, it was just a greedy cub.
But Xiao Yuan also remembered the business, so he actually planned to take the dome to Lu Xi, killing two birds with one stone: warning of danger and eating the dome, but how could the young dragon in the dragon egg be taken by Xiao Yuan? Go, naturally struggle desperately.
After hatching, the baby dragon immediately has the fighting ability of an adult low-level monster, but the baby dragon has not hatched yet, and none of its tail, wings, and claws can be used.
Xiao Yuan is not much better than the young dragon. It is only a few months old silver wolf cub. Its own elemental talent has not been activated yet. It can only rely on its affinity with the wind element to barely interact with the young dragon in the dragon egg. Deadlocked.
Otherwise, Xiao Yuan would not have sneaked into the village without being discovered by Clyde and the others, because Xiao Yuan did not have elemental power, so where could he go to sense elements.
But in such a stalemate, or perhaps because of his desire for the dome, Xiao Yuan suddenly awakened the wind element talent in Silver Wolf's bloodline with a sudden force, which was also the reason why Clyde suddenly sensed the elemental breath after leaving the village.
Because that elemental breath really appeared suddenly.
Before activating the wind element talent, Xiao Yuan could only have a vague perception of the wind element. For example, he could enhance his perception of the surrounding environment and be able to detect the approach of the monster lion many times. Thanks to this, the wind would always help the wind. Things close to the elements bring messages.
After activating the wind element talent, it means that Xiao Yuan can control "wind". Wind is an invisible thing, but it can be controlled by consciousness, and it can also be perceived by other element talent people.
Just like normal human eyes cannot see infrared rays, but people wearing the corresponding equipment can see it.
So when Clyde hurried back slowly, what he saw was that Xiao Yuan was controlling the wind to grab his dragon egg.
Although the actual situation should be that Long Dan escaped on his own, met Xiao Yuan on the road, and was caught by Xiao Yuan.
But Clyde didn't feel like he had to communicate with a monster to discuss what happened, so he attacked Xiao Yuan directly.
Xiao Yuan couldn't control Long Dan at first, and they were wrestling with each other, but he didn't expect that when Long Dan saw Clyde coming back, he would be even more panicked than Xiao Yuan. In an instant, he cooperated with Xiao Yuan and ran away towards the square together.
Dragon Egg even took the initiative to run behind Xiao Yuan and block two attacks from Clyde for Xiao Yuan, otherwise how could Xiao Yuan suddenly run away from Clyde's hands.
Then a wolf and an egg rushed into the crowd. Clyde couldn't attack them, so they ran faster.
Then, before Xiao Yuan could be surprised when he saw Lu Xi, the square was cleared in an instant, and the attack from Clyde also appeared behind it.
Lu Xi's sudden behavior of rushing out was unexpected by no one, including the young dragon in the egg. After witnessing how humans brutally killed monsters, it also saw how a human risked his life to protect another monster.
So the young dragon, who was still in the egg, felt as if his heart was hit by something - it! You must follow that human!
"It seems to have been moved by Miss Lucy's act of standing up and protecting a monster baby regardless of its own safety." White thought of the behavior of the red baby dragon after it hatched, and targeted Lu Xi with a clear target. one person.
It's a pity that these mercenaries who don't understand the dragon's heart only think that the natural attack desire of the red baby dragon is at work after it hatches. The first reaction that comes to mind is to protect Lu Xi and control the red baby dragon at the same time.
What a great show.
Lu Xi looked steadily at White and then at Clyde. They were not people who would talk to her so much for no reason. Even if they wanted to explain to her, a noble lady, the "mistakes" they had made, the words would be too much. too much.
"What do you mean? Just say it directly. I may not have the energy to distinguish what you said now, or we can talk about it later."
Lu Xi's calm posture always made people subconsciously forget that she was now seriously injured due to excessive blood loss, but her hoarse and weak voice still revealed this to a certain extent.
It was not easy for Lu Xi to control the drowsiness in her mind and carefully write down what White said. If she was asked to think about the mess behind those words, she would be looking down on her too much.
It was impossible to talk about it later. It would be better to say that White was actually seizing the opportunity when Lu Xi might not be conscious enough.
But unfortunately, White didn't see any loopholes in Lu Xi. Lu Xi looked weak, but the logic in his mind was equally clear.
With a smile on his face, White said, "Miss Lucy, what I actually mean is that it was quite difficult for our dragon hunting mercenary group to obtain this dragon egg."
"Not only was the bounty received from the employer a complete failure, we also wasted a considerable period of time and various expensive elemental materials..."
Lu Xi watched White perform, and Clyde turned his head silently. In this situation, it was indeed more suitable for White to speak, but he couldn't.
"In order to make up for this loss, our Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group can only consider selling this baby dragon." White's tone was full of regret, "Baby dragons are extremely rare monsters. But most people are afraid of being frozen. If a dragon comes to seek revenge, you will definitely not dare to raise the young dragon."
"The final estimate is to make a specimen, or make it into elemental materials, and then make it into various elemental magic weapons." He accidentally said something extremely scary.
The young red dragon resisted White's malicious gaze and hid behind Lu Xi.
"Now this young dragon seems to have followed you voluntarily, Miss Lucy. If you are willing to buy its ownership from us, maybe it will be a good thing." Good luck is expensive.
"You want me to 'ransom' it?" Lu Xi said in a funny tone. She didn't know why the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group's bounty on dragon eggs failed because it hatched a baby dragon.
But she has no extra relationship with this red baby dragon, so even if this baby dragon is really sold and made into a specimen, or made into various things, it has nothing to do with her at all.
It would be a bit too deceptive to ask her to pay a huge sum of money to buy a baby dragon.
Did you take her for granted?
Lu Xi lowered her gaze and saw the red baby dragon lying on the ground. The dragon's head was pressed against one of her legs. As her gaze fell, there was a pitiful meaning in the fiery and fierce eyes.
It may have understood the conversation, so it cautiously begged Lu Xi that it wanted to follow Lu Xi.
Stop looking, it can't be saved... Lu Xi wanted to say this, but she couldn't.
At this time, her situation has changed dramatically since the beginning. She has escaped from the precarious and dangerous environment, and she has enough value. She is no longer in a state where she cannot even guarantee her own safety.
She could save the red baby dragon.
"But I don't think you will refuse, Miss Lucy." White noticed the change in the expression on Lu Xi's face, and his smile became much more genuine.
"Price." Lu Xi closed her eyes, only hating that she was a good person.
"Ten million gold coins." White made a direct quotation without thinking, his voice clear and clear.
In an instant, the eyes of other people in the yard fell on White. Several pairs of pupils were filled with shock. They probably didn't understand how White dared to speak.
Even Clyde couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at White, he hesitated to speak and hesitated to speak.
"One thousand gold coins." Lu Xi didn't even raise his head, and without even thinking, he jumped off the cliff and bargained, reducing White's offer to just a fraction.
Everyone's eyes moved involuntarily to Lu Xi again. The price gap must be too big. How dare she say anything?
Although one thousand gold coins is not a small number, compared with ten million gold coins, the gap is too big.
Lu Xi and Ayina had learned about prices in other worlds. Although gold coins, silver coins and other currencies were not used in Kuva Village, Ayina had been to Weiguri Town and had seen the value of those currencies.
There are three currencies in the different world, namely gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. 1 gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins, and 1 silver coin is equal to 1,000 copper coins.
Copper coins are the most commonly used currency by the common people at the bottom. Comparing the prices on earth, 1 copper coin is equivalent to one dollar on earth.
The value may not seem very high, but in fact, one dollar on Earth can already buy many things. The items in other worlds are not as sophisticated as those on Earth, and the prices are relatively cheaper.
Take food as an example. One dollar can buy two tender 50-cent steamed buns. In another world, one copper coin can buy white bread of the same quality - but no common people will buy it like this. They will use one copper coin. Buy brown bread for the same price but twice the amount.
Everyone knows how to choose between white bread that can be eaten in one bite and brown bread that is enough to feed the whole family.
Therefore, the ten million gold coins that White spoke about would be equivalent to one trillion yuan on earth. After all, one gold coin is equal to one hundred thousand yuan.
"Deal." White nodded directly without even counter-offering. Although this price was far less than the reward of 100,000 gold coins they accepted, it was only the selling price of a young dragon. In fact, it was not Calculate a loss.
After all, although the baby dragon is good, the trouble behind it cannot be ignored at all. No one wants to be suddenly revenged by the baby dragon's parents, so the price on the black market is not high - of course no one dares to sell it openly. .
Moreover, if they want to sell the baby dragon, they have to find a suitable seller, which will waste at least several months. They might as well find a way to give it to Lu Xi and restore the blood as soon as possible.
"Besides that, you have to escort me home again." Lu Xi said, looking into the eyes of Clyde who had never spoken. He is the one who can really decide everything.
If White wants to plot against her, she can also turn this matter to her advantage.
