Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

Bartholomew led Oman and Noah through the cold and dark cave, and finally returned to the territory of the Black Dragon Clan.

Before Noah could ask, Bartholomew explained: "Yagasha told me everything after they went back, so I will take you away. The war is over, and the ending is as I wish. Noah, You have worked hard during this time, and you can get the dragon crystal when you go back, and you can choose the most beautiful one."

"I have to say that this matter is too dangerous. You have brushed shoulders with death again and again. I didn't expect you to take refuge in the barren valley. But the little dragons always have to experience some unexpected adventures, which can make them grow." Bartholomew said with a smile: "So I put them in confinement, and so did Oman. After you go back, you must seriously reflect on it. Learning to be cautious is also a part of growing up."

Although its tone was relaxed, Oman still trembled and responded in a low voice.

Noah's mind was not on Long Jing at this time, he asked: "What's going on?"

Bartholomew looked at him intently: "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"In many ways, but what I want to know most is, what are those giants."

Bartholomew smiled: "I think you can understand this question better after you get the dragon crystal. Let's go back to the territory first. There are still many things to be busy after the war."

They returned to the territory of the black dragon, which was much more lively than what they had seen before. After the war, many adult black dragons returned here. They flew freely in the sky, discussing the details of the battlefield with each other, and laughing at other dragons.When Bartholomew returned, the dragons saluted him.

Bartholomew has been taking Noah to a place he hasn't been to before. It is a cave standing high on the top of the mountain. The cave is opened on the ground, and a little faint light seeps out of it.There is no black dragon here, Noah felt a bit of cold, and he noticed that Oman's expression became solemn.

"This is where the dragon crystal is." Bartholomew said, it fell to the ground, and then shrank suddenly, turning into a person.

Aman: "?!" Why can the patriarch turn into a human? Isn't transformation an ability that only the silver dragons have? !

"I have a quarter of the blood of a silver dragon." Bartholomew saw its doubts and explained patiently: "My grandmother is a beautiful silver dragon, and I inherited her bloodline ability. Of course, from On the outside, I am an out-and-out black dragon, but in fact, I am stronger than ordinary black dragons and possess more abilities."

Oman was very surprised, it stammered twice, and didn't know what to say.

"Because of this, after the war is over, I plan to promote the blood union between different dragon races, with the black dragon as the leader." Bartholomew's words were not meant for Oman.

Noah touched his nose, jumped off Oman, and said, "They will object, whether it is the black dragon or other dragons."

"If objection is useful, what else is there to do with war?" Bartholomew smiled, and Noah found that it liked to laugh: "Oman, go to confinement yourself, your friends are waiting for you."

Oman left resentfully, it looked at Noah reluctantly, flapped its wings and flew away.

"Your teacher is very good, and the children like you very much." Bartholomew said, "They keep telling me that without you, they would have been captured by the green dragon, or died in the mouth of the giant."

Noah turned his head to look at it. Bartholomew was also very tall after he became human, with broad shoulders and long legs, and a sharp and deep face.If the silver dragons are at this level after being transformed into human form, it is very easy to deceive human feelings.

Bartholomew entered the cave first.

Inside the cave is a long tunnel filled with scattered treasures, gold or gleaming rare minerals.The sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty tunnel, and the cold and oppressive feeling became more and more obvious in it.

Noah was looking around when Bartholomew suddenly asked, "How do you feel seeing those giants?"

"Shocking," Noah said. "I really want to know what they are."

"Giant race." Bartholomew said, "Do you know what are the oldest races?"

"Orcs, dragons, elves..." Noah snapped his fingers.

"The giant race was born earlier than these races. They should be the earliest life forms on the Redras continent, and now only those are left."

"why?"

"Because God appeared."

Bartholomew said: "Unlike the dragon race, I know that the human race believes in many gods, true gods or false gods. The time when the gods were born is also different. The God of Light is one of the oldest gods. Be with him And the one born is the God of Darkness, after all, where there is light, there will be darkness, the stronger the light, the deeper the darkness."

Noah suddenly thought of the barren valley in the dark night, and he roughly explained what happened before, and said, "Is it because of the dark breath that we can't leave there?"

"That's right." Bartholomew said with a smile, "Darkness is endless, and so is light. But the God of Light is much more friendly, and He gives us direction."

Noah: "What is the relationship between the giants and the God of Light?"

"A long time ago, the giant race lived on this land. They are the most powerful creatures. They first possessed the mind and thinking, and then began to pray to the gods."

"They walk in the light and seek shelter in the dark. They seek the light and fear the dark. This is all part of faith, seeking and fear." Bartholomew changed the subject: "Then, they broke out in war, like the giants. As I wish, the God of Light and the God of Darkness have descended."

"The war between light and darkness?" Noah asked subconsciously.

"No, no, no. I know that in the human territory, the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness are hostile. The war will never stop, but the God of Light and the God of Darkness have no grudges. They neither compete with each other nor hate each other." Bartholomew repeatedly denied: "It was a war among the giants, you know, when they had a mind, the battle turned into a war, and when the god came, the war turned into destruction, and there was nothing left. .”

"The giants are all dead, and only a few cubs are left. The God of Light and the God of Darkness brought them to the valley of the end. Until later, the elves, the orcs, and our ancestors appeared. Too much has happened in this world Change, the giants can only live in the valley of the end, and can never leave. Staying in that place day after day, it seems that their minds are gradually being wiped out."

"So, if a god comes, it will only bring disasters instead of blessings."

Noah pondered: "Why can't they leave?"

"If they leave the barren valley, it will be a disaster for the present world." Bartholomew asked, "Do you think they have lost their freedom and will?"

Noah shrugged.

"Noah, what is freedom?" Bartholomew laughed loudly, and then said: "The so-called freedom may be just a bigger cage! In the human world, an ordinary person may be imprisoned in a city all his life." .If he has the ambition to leave this city, he will be imprisoned in a country for the rest of his life. If he has the ability to leave the country, he will also be imprisoned in the continent of Redras, even if he leaves Rhett The Las Continent still cannot get rid of this world, and will be buried in the soil after all.”

"It's just a positional confinement, and there are more difficult ones to get rid of." Bartholomew said: "Social rules, human spirit, group consciousness, instinctive personality...even the legendary magician fell into the shackles of rules in the end." Among them." He saw Noah's sharp pupils, and continued: "There have indeed been some great and insightful people among human beings, who are greater than any ancient race and are close to the existence of gods, but forgive me I say bluntly, their lifespan is too short and they are always prone to change.”

The Dragon Clan, whose lives are measured in tens of thousands, said that human life spans are too short, and Noah couldn't refute them.

"Freedom is a relative concept. Your thinking is limited to what you see and hear. You think according to the world you observe. The soul has the right to absolute freedom, but few people can let it use this Power." Bartholomew said: "We are in a mysterious box, you can choose to go left or right, you can also stand still, anyway, you can't get out of this box."

He turned sideways, his handsome face approached Noah, with a faint smile in his pupils: "Noah, do you think you are free?"

Noah raised his hands, leaned back slightly, and stared back: "What about you? Bartholomew."

"I'm satisfied with this." Bartholomew smiled, pointing to the openings on both sides: "We have arrived, and the dragon crystal is here."

They had already walked in the tunnel for a long time at this time, and there were many openings on both sides. It can be seen that this place was not formed naturally, but carefully carved.Bartholomew pointed in a random direction, and Noah walked in.

It is empty here, it is a semi-circular space, there is a transparent container in the front, and there is a sparkling spar inside.

Noah approached the spar and found that there was still a line of small words on the container, which read in dragon language: "Titus Keith, a clever black dragon family, died of a meteorite fall. Mourning Titus, I hope it will not die." will stumble over stones again."

Noah fell into deep thought. Did the Redlas Continent ever encounter a meteorite fall? Even the black dragon was buried here... Wait, it means this is the tomb of the black dragon family? !

Bartholomew came over and said in a relaxed tone: "That's right, the dragon crystal is transformed after the death of the dragon clan. Don't think too much, the dragon bone is buried deep in the ground. You can understand the dragon crystal as the soul of the dragon clan." Category."
