Otherworldly Gem Merchant

--

Shana stood aside in embarrassment and at a loss. She didn't dare to look at Yan Xiu who was kneeling on the ground coughing badly. She turned her head and gave Nas a dragon claw, "It's all the fault of you idiot!"

Nas was choked up by Shana, why was he injured again. "It's not that I pinched him..."

"How dare you say that!" Shana couldn't help raising her voice.

"Shana..." Yan Xiu knelt on the ground and heard the two giant dragons quarreling beside him. The sound and movement were like Godzilla fighting, no, they were Godzilla.

"...I'm sorry... Hughes." Shanna lowered her voice, and sat there blankly watching Yan Xiu not move.

Nas, who had been taught by Shana, didn't realize that Yan Xiu's situation was not good at all.The huge body circled Yan Xiu twice, and it felt that something was wrong from just now.This strong sense of disobedience...what did it ignore? "No, there seems to be something wrong, Shana."

"What's wrong?" Shana's suspicious gaze made Nas choke again. "But there seems to be something wrong..."

"I feel like I've forgotten an important thing." Nas stood on the spot seriously and turned around, "But I'm sure I didn't miss anything. Ah, by the way, your name is Hughes, right? "

The golden dragon head that suddenly moved in front of him made Yan Xiu back away, "Yes."

"Nas?" Shana's huge dragon eyes reflected Nas's equally huge body, and Yan Xiu was just a small black dot in Shana's long eyes—of course, with the eyesight of a giant dragon, Yan Xiu could see clearly. The appearance of the repair is no problem.

Speaking of which, Hughes seems to have kept the same expression since he woke up. Isn't he tired?

Nas put his head in front of Yan Xiu, and his breath made Yan Xiu's hair float up. The huge long eyes tried hard to see something from Yan Xiu, and they were almost cross-eyed. "strangeness……"

"What's so strange?" There is a huge dragon head less than 10 centimeters away from him. Yan Xiu feels that his nerves have been honed so hard and his mental endurance has skyrocketed so much, it is all thanks to these two giant dragons.

"Well, it's just weird..." Nas retracted his head while talking, suddenly, its head froze in the air, looking at Yan Xiu again like a machine without lubricating oil, kaka It turned back with a click. "You...understand what I'm saying?"

Now Yan Xiu didn't know what expression to use to face the dragon, so he could only look at it with a straight face and didn't respond.After chatting for so long, he realized that he could understand them. Is the reaction speed of the dragons really okay?

"Sha, Shana!" Nas' tongue was tied when he called Shana's name for the first time.

"My God..." Shana also looked at Yan Xiu with sharp eyes, and for the first time had the illusion that this fragile guy in front of her could be a human being.

There are humans who can understand the language of the dragon?oh my god!It chatted so happily that it forgot that it should never have happened that Hughes could chat with it for so long.

"Hey Seuss, are you really human?"

"Shana, I'll take him to the elder to have a look! Let me just say, there must be something wrong with him." Before Shana agreed, Nas grabbed Yan Xiu with his paw and flew straight to the elder Moerti. and go.

It must show Elder Morti how strange this guy is!

Yan Xiu only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and when he concentrated his attention to see clearly, Nas had already caught him in the dragon's claws. He was helpless and annoyed at his own powerlessness in front of the situation.Seeing that Shana was about to catch up, Yan Xiu couldn't help calling out to Shana, "Shana! Keep an eye on Dewey!"

Shana, who wanted to catch up, stopped flapping her wings after hearing Yan Xiu's words, raised her head, and stood alone watching Nas take Yan Xiu away.

"Bastard Nas!"

The two blue dragons guarding the entrance of the Dragon Valley couldn't help but look at each other when they saw Nas flying into the Dragon Valley from above their heads.This is the first time that Nas flew back quickly to scold him after being trained by Elder Morty...

There is a majestic and huge white palace in the vast forest.The palace is bigger than any palace Yan Xiu has ever seen, very, very huge.Even Nas grabbed him and walked straight into the palace without any obstacles. It was simply a palace built for giant dragons.And in the innermost part of this hall, stood a dark golden dragon, which looked very... angry.

"Nas!!" Morte became angry when he saw Nas coming in with something he didn't know. "You better give me a reasonable reason!"

Didn't Nas take his brains out today to capture humans into the Dragon Hall?

"Mo, Morte, Elder, Elder..." Nas' legs trembled when he saw Elder Morte.It's not that it can't beat Elder Morte, but that Morte casts too much shadow on it. "This, this, this is... Hugh... Hughes."

"Huh?" Moerte saw what Nas was holding in his hand, but after seeing it clearly and finding that it was a human being, Moerte felt that it was necessary for him to communicate with Nas...

There seemed to be raging flames behind the furious Morte, and Nas shrank back into the corner tremblingly. "Elder, elder, you, listen to me."

"Say." Morte's huge figure shrouded Nas's body shrunk into a small ball.The huge dark golden dragon head opened its mouth ferociously, "Speak, Nas."

Nas looked at such a great elder, his words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say a word.His body still trembled from time to time, and he was extremely useless.Yan Xiu, who was pinched in his claws, also saw Nas's look of seeing the nemesis, and tried his best to stretch out a hand and patted Nas's dragon finger vigorously.

"Hughes?" Even though Yan Xiu had exerted all his strength, from Nas's point of view, he could feel something moving on the dragon's claw.Seeing Hughes struggling to get out, Nas took advantage of the situation and carefully put Yan Xiu on the ground.I continued to shrink back and tremble.

"Hello." Yan Xiu patted his clothes, and stood in front of the dark golden dragon Morte, the great elder of the dragon clan.

Moerti looked at Yan Xiu who was not as long as a dragon finger in front of him in amazement, imitating Nas's example and lowering his voice a little bit - compared to Nas, it knows how fragile human beings are, "Hello."

"I'm Hughes." Yan Xiu really didn't know how to read any expression from Morte's dragon face, so he could only continue to stand where he was and silently looked at Morte.

This dark golden dragon didn't even look as big as Nas, but Yan Xiu could see an aura that Nas didn't have from this dragon.This is an aura that only belongs to Morte. Nas, who has just grown up for a few years, will not have such a creepy feeling at all.

Moerti didn't continue to scold Nas this time, but looked at Yan Xiu curiously.In all its life, it had never seen a human being able to talk to a dragon—except the dragon riders.Moreover, this human being who taught Hughes seemed to be different from ordinary humans. He felt a strange breath from Hughes, which made him feel very short.

Because this breath is so similar to the shiny gemstones that giant dragons like...

"I'm Morte, the elder of the giant dragon clan." Morte stared at the huge dragon eyes, and Yan Xiu's slender and small figure was reflected in the huge eyeballs, "For Nas to take you and your partner without authorization I'm sorry for what happened, and I'll punish it."

Yan Xiu nodded. Although this Morte was not easy to deal with, he seemed to be the only relatively normal dragon.

"I want to know, are Hughes and your partner all participants in the Dragon Island competition?" Seeing Yan Xiu nodding, Morte's head grew bigger.

Nas captured these two humans without authorization, and Morte hadn't thought about how to deal with these two humans.It has no way to let Nas send the two humans back. If other contestants see Nas sending them back, not only the two humans will be in trouble, but the dragon family will also have a lot of trouble.Although it was the Chaves Empire that held this competition, it could only be held with the consent of the giant dragon.Since the giant dragon agreed, there was no reason to break the rules. Once the rules were broken, the priest of the Chaves Empire would not be easy to deal with.Even the dragons have to pay part of the price.

"There is no way to send you back to your companions now." Morte couldn't help but glared at Nas again, who had shrunk to the point where it couldn't be smaller. "Please stay here for a while, I heard that the partner who came with you was also injured."

Hearing Moerti talk about Dewey's injury, Yan Xiu couldn't help but also turned to look at Nas.If it wasn't for Nas, Dewey wouldn't be lying on the ground at least now.

Seeing that Yan Xiu looked at Nas unkindly, Moerti gave Nas a look to clean you up later, and silently changed the subject, "Please don't mind my bluntness, we dragons are not very good at deviousness. Hughes, you seem to be an ordinary person."

"Yeah." Yan Xiu didn't pay much attention to what Moerti said, although he was a little unhappy to be exposed, but it was a fact, and there was nothing to deny.

"Then, why did you come to participate in the competition?" Moerti would ask Yan Xiu because he knew that Yan Xiu was an ordinary person, and ordinary people would not come to participate in the Long Island competition, it was too dangerous.

"Because of Victor." Yan Xiu's dark eyes met Morte's.

"Victor? Victor Cecil?"

"Yes."

Morte didn't quite understand Yan Xiu's behavior, "Victor Cecil is coming to retrieve his dragon, what does it have to do with you?"

"We're friends."

"But you are just an ordinary person, Hughes." Moore pointed at Yan Xiu with his dragon finger, "You are not as long as my dragon finger, neither a magician nor a warrior, this place is too dangerous for you, You shouldn't be here to participate in the competition. Victor, this guy, is not a person who would let ordinary people come to such a dangerous place. You must have something different."

From Morte's tone, it seems that he knows Victor's character and character very well.From this, it can be seen that it is actually not as difficult for Victor to get back his dragon as he thought.How would those nobles who laughed at Victor react if they knew about Morti's attitude towards Victor?Especially that Uris—

"You are a little different from ordinary people." Morte didn't care whether Yan Xiu responded to it or not.It has lived for so long, and it is very clear about the power that ordinary people should have. No matter what Hughes says, it will only confirm it with its own eyes. "Your strength is very strange, Hughes."

Yan Xiu's nerves tensed up instantly, and he looked at Morti with vigilance.He forgot, what kind of simple role would it be to be an elder of the Dragon Clan? "..."

Hughes' silence was also expected, but Morti still didn't care, "Don't be nervous, I'm not interested in your power. I'm just curious, I've never seen such a strange power. You What kind of secret is there?"

Yan Xiu remained silent.

Before coming to Dragon Island, Victor taught him about the preferences of giant dragons.

These big guys like shiny things the most, and the most valuable and shiny things are naturally gems.Dragons do like shiny things, but they don't want everything.

"It's really nerve-wracking, why don't you say it?" Moerti didn't mean to force Yan Xiu to say it. No matter how mysterious something is, in front of it, it can only find the answer by flipping through the memories in its mind.Living for so long is not in vain, all kinds of history and knowledge are stored in its head.

— Nass doesn't count.

"Let me think about it." Patting Nas, who was almost asleep while listening to the conversation, Morte flicked his tail maliciously, "Nas, tell me, Hughes' body What does it taste like."

"what?"

"Go quickly."

Seeing Nas standing up and walking towards him, Yan Xiu couldn't help but take a few steps back.Nas' huge body shrouded Yan Xiu in its shadow.While walking, Nas muttered and complained about Morty's unreasonableness.After the huge faucet came close to Yan Xiu and sniffed it twice, a strange expression appeared on Nas's face.

"Nas?" Morte looked at Nas, and Yan Xiu also looked at Nas nervously.

Nas's face was a little confused, with an unbelievable feeling, "I seem to smell gems?"

—Do gemstones have a smell? ?

Yan Xiu couldn't help but smell the smell on his body, and came to the conclusion that there was no smell at all.

"Now I'll confirm, Hughes, do you have special abilities related to gems?"

The author has something to say: Well, Yan Xiu will have a certain ability to protect himself, but he won't be the most vicious one.

After all, it was originally set as a 'merchant' rather than a fighter _(:3」∠)_
