[Comprehensive British and American] The world painting style is not right

Carol and Sherlock faltered.Carol looked up at Sherlock. Sherlock put his finger on his lips lightly, shook his head slightly, and signaled her not to speak.

In the face of the conscious dragon Smaug, anyone would be at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation with it.Apparently, Smaug could burn them to ashes in a single fit of anger.

Carol pointed at Sherlock's hanging ring with her finger, and then nodded herself.She closed her eyes, calmed down and concentrated, and when she opened her eyes again, the sound of the dragon's breathing had stopped.

Carol's wand slipped out of her cuff, "I want to see if I can tame it directly."

Sherlock nodded.In front of Sherlock, Carol did not hide her secrets at all, and she never behaved as restrained as before.

They went out, and the cave was full of gold, and countless jewels and utensils were piled up together.Carol almost fell down, but Sherlock grabbed her and put his arms around her shoulders,

And the giant dragon Smaug also revealed its real body. It was covered with black scales, and its belly was glowing red. What was burning in its belly was an extremely hot flame.It stood on top of the gold, with a pair of eyes fixed on the hole, looking very penetrating.

Carol pointed at Smaug with her wand, took a deep breath, and asked the system, "Can I choose to tame Smaug?"

The familiar and cold mechanical sound of the system sounded, of course only Carol could hear it.

【Sorry, the intelligence level of this creature exceeds your automatic taming range】

[Taming failed, please choose manual taming]

Carol showed a disappointed expression. She waved her wand, smiled at Sherlock, and said mockingly, "Actually, I know that taming will fail, but I still want to try."

Before Sherlock could speak, Smaug in front of him suddenly let out a heavy gasp.Before it fully recovered, Carol immediately dragged Sherlock to run out of the cave, and released her spiritual pet——Gulu.

Sherlock glanced at Gollum, but didn't ask Carol where she got this weird creature.Carol has many secrets, but he will know them all before long.

Smaug rolled his eyes and scanned the cavern, only to find a diminutive creature standing at the entrance.Its eyes are huge like two searchlights occupying the entire face, and its body is pale and thin.

"Are you the legendary Smaug?" Gollum was overwhelmed with admiration when he saw Smaug.

"How do those legends describe me?" Smaug's interest was aroused. It leaned on the gold and raised its head proudly. "I guess that might not be a good word?"

"It is said that you are tall and mighty, and you also possess endless treasures." The greedy Gollum has naturally heard of Smaug, and Gollum thinks that fate has brought him to the Lonely Mountain, which may be an excellent opportunity.

"Naturally." Smaug rolled his eyelids, eyeing Gollum with his shrewd blood-red eyes.These compliments did not make him lose his vigilance, but made him even more suspicious.

"What are you here for? I guess it's a thief." Smaug twitched his nose, desperately catching the visitor's scent in the stale air.He always felt that there was a human smell somewhere, which was a smell different from the creature in front of him.

"You may not believe it when you say it." Gulu's tone was slightly sad, and his mood seemed to be very low. "My life has come to an end."

"The beginning of this story sounds interesting." Smaug's paw rested on the gold, and the sound of gold coins and utensils colliding came from the cave. "You can go on, thief."

"My most important thing was stolen by a hobbit!" Gollum became a little angry, "That was my hope, and he actually destroyed my hope!"

"Stole it!" Smaug's emotions were also mobilized by Gollum, God knows how much he hated those thieves, because of greed, he hid in the dark.Smaug continued to probe, "What do you want from me when you come to the Lonely Mountain?"

"You may be able to give me a new life, great and honorable Smaug." Gollum knelt down very piously and bowed a few times, "I am willing to be a servant by your side and follow you to the death."

Carol pursed her lips, like a gulu, speaking human language when seeing people, and speaking dragon language when seeing dragons.Before, I thought of myself as its owner, but it changed in a blink of an eye.

"What's your name?" Smaug's voice paused. "Very well, you did catch my attention."

"Lord Smaug." Gollum smiled happily. He raised his head to look at Smaug, but his body was still low on the ground. "My name is Gollum."

The conversation between the two of them reached Carol's ears, and she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, Smaug was so domineering, what is this pair?It's a cult cp!

"But I won't believe your words." Smaug's expression turned cold, he could still smell the human scent, fresh and healthy, it must be delicious.

Gulu's heart tightened. Although he yearned for power and wealth, he was more afraid of death.It knew Smaug's temperament, and it had to fight hard to avoid being burned to death, "Lord Smaug, I mean it sincerely."

"Oh?" Smaug's tone was not very friendly. He held his head high, looked down at Gollum, and continued, "Then why did you bring humans here?"

Humanity?Gulu narrowed his eyes, and suddenly realized a serious problem, how did he come to the lonely mountain?I met two strange people in its cave, and Gulu couldn't remember what happened after that, and when he opened his eyes, Smaug appeared in front of him.

Gulu was about to say something when a familiar female voice came from behind, "Smaug, I want to remind you of something."

Smaug stared intently at the new girl who appeared calm. "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Carol looked up at Smaug and smiled, "What I want to tell you is..."

Carol spoke very slowly, but it kept Gollum and Smaug's attention on her.She blinked as they waited curiously for her answer.

Sure enough, Gollum and Smaug stood there motionless, at this moment a cube-shaped space suddenly appeared in Sherlock's hand, trapping Smaug inside.

When Smaug came back to his senses, he found that he had been "imprisoned" by someone. He was very angry, breathing flames in the space, but it couldn't burn a single bit of it outside.

Sherlock said that everything in the world, including time and space, can be quantified.He is not controlled by Carol's ability because he is the one who stands outside of time.

Naturally, he could also create a space that completely separated Smaug from them.Because for Sherlock, there is no question of success in anything in the world, only whether or not to try.

Carol glanced at Gulu, Gulu became tense, and instantly recognized the girl.However, it didn't know that she and the people around her had such great abilities.

Smaug is trapped!Gulu's eyes lit up all of a sudden, it thought of something, turned its head to look greedily at the gold all over the ground, and sank into it.

Carol and Sherlock looked at each other, they didn't want to be distracted by that greedy Gollum.It is captivated by gold jewels and will pay its due price in the end.

At this time, Smaug was scratching the "glass cage" visible to the naked eye with its extremely sharp claws. It has occupied the Lonely Mountain for so long, and has never been in such a panic. "Who are you?"

"We have come to tame you, Smaug."

This answer made Smaug suddenly laugh. It bared its teeth and looked at them fiercely, but continued to maintain its arrogance, "Stupid human! Always the same greed, never satisfied!"

"If you want my gold, go ahead and take it!" Smaug, finding that nothing he could do to break through this strange space, tried to negotiate with them.

"Staying in untold wealth for so many years has made you dizzy." Carol looked at Smaug calmly. If greed would make people like Smaug, she didn't want to get the gold at all.

"Oh, it's ridiculous for you to pretend to regard money as dung like this." Smaug couldn't believe that anyone would not be tempted by gold. They seemed calm on the surface, and they must want to subdue it and steal all the gold!

Carol glanced at Sherlock, she didn't know what to do next, but before doing anything, asking for Sherlock's opinion reassured her.

"The first step is to destroy its psychological defense." Sherlock smiled, stroking Carol's head, "You did a good job."

Sherlock turned to face Smaug, moving his hands up in the air as if squeezing the air.Then suddenly the space that trapped Smaug began to shrink.

Carol's eyes widened, space can be quantified, and she remembered what Sherlock told her again.

The sound of Smaug's struggle came from the cage, and Sherlock stopped moving again. He looked at Carol, "Carol Ann, is your mind still limited?"

Carol froze.When Sherlock taught her how to use the ability at the Avengers headquarters, he pointed out the shortcomings of her time control ability.What she said at that time was this sentence, she did everything as if she was dissociated, never really participating.

Seeing Carol's expression, Sherlock knew that she had recalled that training, and he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "Take it as your second training."

"The second step is to make it unable to escape your control." Sherlock said unhurriedly.

can i really do itThis idea appeared in Carol's mind, but in the next second she found the state and began to imagine seriously with her mind.

As long as I can control time, then I can control space.Facing the transparent space, Carol imagined it as a square cake. She didn't want to get fat, and she wanted the cake to be smaller.

The idea that the "cake" should become smaller kept lingering in her mind, and it didn't take long for the space to shrink suddenly, and Smaug couldn't fully display his body, so he could only curl up.

Smaug felt that he had been fooled, and his mood became extremely irritable. He struggled in that space angrily, and fiddled with his claws desperately.

"The last step, Carol Ann." Sherlock's voice sounded in Carol's ear, which gave her more courage.

Carol raised her wand, pointed at Smaug, and yelled, "Tame Smaug!"
