Chapter 078: Memory Extraction
Extract the memory, and begin.
For a moment, Richard's eyes flashed with visions, and he felt that the scene around him began to distort, as if he had walked into a long room. There are all kinds of wooden shelves in this room, and all kinds of strange things are placed on the wooden shelves, such as pocket watches, such as dragon puppets, such as the emblem of the sun, such as small models of rockeries, such as ......
Rows of wooden shelves are placed one by one, organic combinations, and memories begin to unfold one by one.
Something hidden underwater, quickly connected into a looming clue.
Time: 3rd day after arrival at the castle;
Location: The open space in front of the castle on the hill;
Weather: Sunny;
Light: Suitable;
Temperature:......
"Gregory, do you mean that you have a long lifespan, a thousand years to live?" Richard asked Gregory in a casual conversation about his human state.
"Yes, at least for a thousand years, hum, boy, isn't it envy. Gregory looked a little ostentatious.
"Perhaps, but I'm curious, how old are you now, and how old your kind will live at most. Richard asked.
"I'm over 500 now. As for my kind...... Well, I still have something to do, let's talk about it next time......"
......
Time: Two days after the first beast tide;
Location: The open space in front of the castle on the hill;
Weather: Cloudy;
Illumination: Dark;
Temperature:......
"Gregory, the last time you spoke to me about your companions, your companions are usually there?" asked Richard.
"Like me, I usually live in the mountains, in the forests, mostly in sparsely populated places. Gregory's eyes twinkled.
"Oh, why?"
"Hmph, boy, do you like to live with a bunch of rats?" said Grigory through his nostrils.
"Uh, okay. But I have another question, how many companions do you have on this Mansman Island? Don't you usually visit and communicate with each other?" Richard asked again, his expression a little serious and a little inquiring, "why have you never seen any adult dragon other than you?" ”
"Uh, uh, what's this...... Well, I suddenly remembered something, and I'll talk to you again when I have time......"
......
Time: One day after getting the Crystal Skull;
Location: The open space in front of the castle on the hill;
Weather: Sunny;
Illumination: Bright;
Temperature:......
"Gregory, something seems to be wrong with the way you look lately, do you know it, because you go out a lot, and Pandora is already a little dissatisfied. ”
"Ahem, how is this possible, how can my good daughter be dissatisfied with me, it must be you kid who lied to me. ”
"I ......"
......
When: 3 days ago;
Location: The open space in front of the castle on the hill;
Weather: Cloudy;
Lighting: very dark;
Temperature:......
"Gregory, you seem to be looking more and more wrong lately, worse than you did a month ago. ”
"Hmph, what's that about you, boy. Believe it or not, even if I did, I could scorch you with a single flame. ”
"Heh, whatever you want. But I'm curious, what have you been busy with? I don't see a shadow every day, and you have to fly out every day. Are you looking for something? It can't be a visit to a companion, right? I asked you this question last time, if you are really visiting a companion, the question of frequency is not mentioned for the time being, but why is it that you always go out to visit and no companion visits you?"
"I, this ......," Grigory asked after a moment of sudden aloud, "boy, do you really want to know the answer?"
Richard's eyes flashed: "Of course I want to know the answer, if you will." ”
"Uh, okay. "I can tell you that maybe you can help me with my doubts, but of course, the odds are very small. ”
"What doubts?"
"A big doubt, that is...... I couldn't find my companions them. ”
"Can't find them? What do you mean?"
That's what it means literally. I've been out and about, looking for my companions. But...... It was as if I was the last dragon in the world except for Pandora, and I was left alone with no companions. Maybe when I die, when Pandora dies, my race will be wiped out. ”
"How so?" said Richard.
"I don't know, but I just can't find them. Grigory shook his head, a little confused, "It's like one day, they suddenly disappeared." I've been to a lot of places they liked to go to, waited a long time, and never saw them again. I've been looking for them, but I just can't find them, and I don't know why. ”
"Don't you know why?"
"I ......"
......
When: Three days ago, after a long silence for Gregory;
Location: The open space in front of the castle on the hill;
Weather: Cloudy;
Lighting: very dark;
Temperature:......
"Okay, boy, I'll tell you. Gregory, who had been silent for a long time, raised his voice a little, "I do know something, or I suspect something. ”
"What?"
"I suspect that someone is secretly working on my race. Gregory's eyes were a little cold.
"Who's going to do it against your race?" Richard was slightly stunned and guessed, "Dragon Slayer Knight?"
"Huh, knights?" Gregory snorted, a little disdainful, "what are they capable of inflicting harm on my companions? Even the most elite of the knights can't resist the flames that erupt from my mouth, just like you do now." ”
“......”
"Alright, back to business. Grigory's expression returned to seriousness, "I'm suspicious, it's the wizard who started it." ”
"Wizards?, but here on Smans Island, aren't there very few wizards, and most of them are wizard apprentices with little strength. ”
"That's the crux of the matter. There are not many wizards on the island of Smans at all, so it is most likely from ......" Gregory exhaled, "a wizard from the mainland. ”
"Continental ......"
"I don't know if it's true or not, but if it's true, I'm probably just a dragon who escaped with it. ”
"Huh?"
"I escaped from the mainland. "The sudden disappearance of the companions I told you about before happened on the mainland, and I searched many places but could not find them, and feeling that danger was approaching me, I began to move with Pandora four times. Eventually, I came to the island of Smans.
I thought that this might be safe, maybe my companions, after all, it was very barren and there were very few wizards. But in the past few years, I have searched almost every corner of Smans Island and found nothing. In addition, I have recently discovered that the danger I had foreseen on the mainland has reappeared, and it is becoming more and more intense. ”
'This ......'
"By the way, Richard, you want to leave, don't you?" asked Grigory, suddenly, abruptly.
"Well, I'll leave when the recent research is over. Richard replied calmly that there was nothing to hide.
"Is that so......" Gregory hesitated for a moment, but the next moment he asked aloud, "what do you think of Pandora?"
"What?" Richard's eyes flashed, realizing the meaning behind Gregory's question, "Do you want me to stay?" or did you let me take Pandora with me?"
"......" Grigory was silent for a while, glanced at Richard, then shook his head, and said solemnly, "You think too much." ”
"I'm thinking too much?"
"You're thinking too much. ”
"Am I really thinking too much?"
"You're really thinking too much. ”
"Am I really, really thinking too much?"
"You're really, really thinking too much. Grigory said, and then spoke impatiently, "Boy, are you verbose?"
"Oh well. ”
"I have something to do, I'll go first, and we'll talk when we have a chance. Grigory turned to leave.
"That's right, Gregory. Richard suddenly seemed to remember something, stopped Gregory, and said, "Is there something I've always wanted to understand?"
"What?"
"Generally speaking, psychology works for all intelligent beings, but there are some differences in the responses due to the differences in species habits and social makeup. ”
"So?"
"For humans, if a person lies, there will be a series of unnatural reactions, such as eye squinting, muscle contraction, and the overall appearance of a defensive or aggressive protective posture. Of course, the most important point is...... He will subconsciously repeat the former's words to relieve his own pressure. I don't know, for you dragon, it's the same. ”
"What do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying. Grigory said with a furrowed brow.
"Alright then, just when I didn't say goodbye. ”
"Goodbye. ”
