Chapter 31: The Dragon Worshippers
"Roar~~~~" The phantom of the red dragon looked up to the sky and groaned, and the loud sound really broke and fell off the icicles under the surrounding eaves. After a long roar, the thirty-meter-tall dragon leaned down, its head larger than a human body approached the old orc, looked at it carefully, and then looked at the six members of the adventure group beside the old orc suspiciously, and asked in a common language: "Is it the villagers of Jinlong Village, this time they actually used the scales of the same clan to represent friendship to call our guardians, are these humans asking you to do this?"
"Yes, Lord Bass. The old orc kept hunching his waist and said respectfully: "These humans have come from the outside world, hoping to establish direct contact with the adults, and I see that they have the friendship of guardians, so I agreed to help them." ”
"Well, thank you for your hard work. The red dragon turned his huge head to a few members of the adventure group, and said in a thunderous voice, "Human, do you want to come into contact with our dragon clan?
"Of course it was given by the owner of the scales. Pannis, with his hands on his chest and a strange smile on his face, said leisurely, "Otherwise, do you think that there are still humans who can forcibly snatch it from a fighting dragon?"
"Huh?" Hearing Pannis's voice, the dragon was stunned, his yellow eyes blinked, he looked at Pannis seriously for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's you, what's your name?" But why are you here again, aren't you dead yet? I thought you were ......."
"It's so easy to die. Pannis interrupted the dragon with a smile, "It's you." I didn't expect you to be in charge of contacting the dragon worshippers this time, shouldn't you have gone back to sleep a long time ago?
"The bet was lost. The red dragon snorted dissatisfiedly: "As a result, I was forcibly asked to be responsible for them for another hundred years, otherwise I would have run to sleep." It's really sleepy, and it's troublesome, so let's hurry up. ”
"Don't think I don't know, even if you're in charge of contact, you'll sleep secretly. Pannis teased: "Didn't you get scolded by your father last time because you slept secretly, I guess you won't change even if you are scolded." ”
"Don't talk about that again. The red dragon lay on the ground, humanizing his head with his claws. said sullenly: "It's really unlucky to be seen by a few of you just once." Not. Look at the people around you, how have they changed, what about the people in the past, especially the very interesting little man. It's fun to bully him. ”
The smile on Pannis's face faded, and he whispered, "You know, Bass, we're not like you, people all die. ”
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Buzz patted his head, and the phantom opened his mouth to spit out a string of illusory sparks: "You guys are so troublesome, you always die so quickly." In other words, I'll never see that little man again, right? ”
"Yes. Pannis's voice became very lost, and he sighed, "We'll never see him again." It's not just you. ”
"That's a shame. Bas twisted his neck awkwardly: "What are you doing this time?
"No, we want to meet her first. Pannis pointed to the golden scales, "There are some things that need to be discussed with her before considering whether to trouble Mr. Vahn." ”
"Then come on. Buzz asked puzzledly: "What else to contact, you don't know the way, just go to her lair to find her, why bother me to sleep." ”
"Sure enough, you're lazy again. Hey. Pannis scoffed before he said, "Can you come and pick us up?" We have something important to talk to her about, but someone is not fit to walk for a long time, so you can do her a favor. ”
"It's a nuisance. Bas shook his head vigorously like a puppy, and complained dissatisfiedly before agreeing, "Wait, I'll pick you up later." ”
"Don't wait a while. Pannis pressed his forehead as if he had a headache and said, "You said for a while, it is estimated that we will have to wait for half a year, so we are not allowed to wait for a while, come over now, we don't have so much time to wait." ”
"It's so much to ask, it's so annoying. Buzz muttered a few words in a low voice, although it was a low voice, but due to the size of the human being, it sounded no different from a roar: "I know, I'll set off now, you're in Jinlong Village, stay in the village and don't run around, I'll set off now, if I can't find you when I arrive, I won't wait, just turn around and come back." ”
In the phantom on the altar, Buzz got up from the ground lazily, stretched out like an old orc just now, raised his head and spewed out a ball of flames, and then staggered away from his lair and the display range of the virtual image.
"Alright. Pannis shrugged and said, "Finally let him come over now, let's just wait here, although the Warcraft Forest is very large, but with the speed of the dragon's flight, it should be able to get here in less than two hours." Well, you're all watching what I'm doing. ”
Pannis's final question was for the villagers, because after he severed his ties with the dragon and regained the golden scales, he found that all the villagers, including the old orcs, were looking at him with a strange look, as if they were looking at the gods. But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing surprising, as dragon worshippers, dragons are like gods in their eyes, and there are many villagers who can only see the phantom of dragons from the general assembly every ten years in their lives, but Pennis shows that the dragon is very familiar, and can even make the dragon come to greet him in person with dissatisfaction, just with these, it is enough to win the reverence of all the villagers.
The old orc also rubbed the horns on the top of his head excitedly, and under the excitement, he even spoke a little faster: "Did Lord Bass say just now that he wanted to come to our village in person?"
If I heard me correctly, that's what he said. Catherine nodded and said: "It won't be too long, elder, if you are tired, go back to rest first, and the villagers too, go back first, even if you want to see the guardian, you can come out when he is almost there, there is no need to wait here all the time, the weather is so cold, standing in the snow all the time is not good for your health." ”
"Give up, there's no way they're going back. Pannis whispered, "If you were told that a hill of gold coins would appear here in two hours, and now let you go back and wait for two hours to come back, would you go back?"
"How could it be possible to go back. Catherine's eyes widened: "What if I miss it when I go back, even if I don't miss it, I have to watch the gold coin mountain appear with my own eyes to rest assured, otherwise these two hours will be the most painful torment." ”
"It just so happens that they are. Pannis spread his hands and smiled helplessly: "You want them to leave now, it is more difficult than going to fight the demigods right away and must win, their attachment to dragons is no less than your attitude towards gold coins." ”
"Is it difficult?" Catherine seemed to be unhappy with Pannis's use of herself and the gold coins as an example, and said with a sneer, "I can go and fight the demigods now and still win, don't you believe it?"
"I was wrong, can we put down the sword and then speak?" Pannis was so quick to admit his mistake every time: "That's what it means anyway, you just let them wait here together, otherwise if you really want to drive them back, maybe you will get sick." ”
Catherine sighed helplessly, and could only nod in agreement with Pannis's statement, so seventy or eighty people sat casually on the ground around the altar covered with thick snow. It was only then that the maidens were in the mood to take a closer look at these worshippers who had only heard of it in rumors, and these people, young and old, all had many tattoos of dragons, large and small, located on different parts of the body. Aside from the tattoos, most of these people look the same as ordinary people, except that they are not afraid of the cold and do not feel any discomfort even when sitting in the snow. Their bodies naturally have a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere, and among these people, they will unconsciously feel physically and mentally calm, and their inner ** will also weaken a lot.
"These people's lives seem to be boring, but they seem to enjoy it. Lina said curiously: "I really want to know what they do in the house when they don't usually carve ice sculptures." ”
"Trust me, you'll be disappointed. Pannis shrugged his shoulders and smiled strangely, "They don't actually do anything, and on days when they don't need to work, they just stay in the house and sleep in a daze." ”
"Daze?" Lina almost shouted in surprise: "How is it possible, I have been in a daze all my free time all my life, and this kind of life is too terrible." ”
"You're not them, how do you know they're not really enjoying life by doing this?" Pannis asked rhetorically, "I've been here before, and I've talked to a few believers, and in their minds, it's strange that we outsiders can fill our lives with all kinds of things, which is simply terrible. For them, only lying in the cave, oh, in their house, silently watching the time pass little by little, watching the sunrise and sunset outside, the snow falling and melting, that is the essence of truly enjoying life. And like us, being busy every day and setting countless goals for ourselves is as stupid as putting countless shackles on our body. ”
"This, this, this is incomprehensible. Lina said dumbfoundedly, "There is not a single book that mentions such a strange idea. ”
"Of course, except for the dragon worship clan and the dragon clan itself, no one else would have such an idea. Pannis smiled wryly and said, "Actually, I can't understand their unique cognition, but even if I can't understand it, I can't deny that they really enjoy this kind of life." ”
