Chapter 1518 The lion opens his mouth and knocks the dragon family a big blow!
(Ten thousand rewards for the strong sea monster will be added in 2 updates)
The high and low dragon roars sounded again. The dragons talked to each other in their own language. Gretel rolled his eyes and relaxed his body silently:
Really, it's like this every time, every time. If he concentrates on identifying these dragon roars, he can still understand them, but with so many dragons talking together, it sounds quite tiring:
It's like you can understand Mandarin easily, but when it comes to identifying Mandarin lyrics, it's easy to make mistakes. As for identifying English lyrics, it's even more of a nightmare...
Grete, who had difficulty identifying the roar of dragons and even more difficulty observing the expressions of dragons from a distance, did not know that these legendary dragons were expressing satisfaction in various ways.
The black dragon who led the question adjusted his posture, and all the pressure disappeared without a trace in an instant, and An Ran nodded:
"He is very confident. He doesn't feel guilty at all."
The dragon power he just activated has only one additional effect: if the person being questioned has any thoughts of guilt, guilt, or panic, then the impact of the dragon power will be amplified by these emotions at least ten times.
With the blessing of the magic circle, the dragon's power, which was not too strong and would never exceed the upper limit of the opponent's endurance, would instantly reach the limit. Although it would not scare him crazy, the feeling would never be pleasant!
But Gretel endured it steadily without losing any composure, and could even refute loudly. What does this mean?
This shows that he is completely kind to the Dragon Clan. Unlike some magicians, when he sees the Dragon Clan, he doesn’t think about anything else except using it for research. He bleeds, skins, and cuts into pieces...
Some are quite ruthless and even want to trick your soul into studying...
The legendary dragons talked to each other, nodded, flicked their tails, or flapped their wings slightly to express satisfaction. Opposite the black dragon, a steel-gray dragon in the distance smiled and said:
"Aren't you just too lazy to read the paper? You're just going to use this method to test it...forget it if you're too lazy! Your whole body is full of muscles, even your brain is full of muscles!"
"You really want to see it?!" The black dragon was furious and sprayed out a breath of dragon breath:
"It's just a paper, who can't understand it? What's difficult is the twists and turns! Those things that the author hasn't written at all! Those things can only be deduced based on the paper and hard work!
I’ve been busy in the starry sky for a month and I’m almost sick, who has the heart to watch something like this!”
"So you bully other children..."
"Am I the only one bullying you? Can this magic circle be activated without the consent of more than half of the people?"
"So they are all a bunch of muscular guys~~~ They bully children just because of their status~~~"
"In short, it's bullying! You are bullying someone who has good intentions to help us, it's outrageous! - That means I wasn't there during the voting, but as long as I'm here, I can't let you pass!"
The giant steel-gray dragon slapped its head and sprayed the black dragon, but that was not enough. It spread its wings and suddenly flew up, crossing the hall like a meteor, and suddenly arrived in front of Gretel.
He landed on the ground and turned into a human form, turning into a warrior in full steel armor, striding towards Gretel:
"I'm so sorry, Master Nordmark, for frightening you. - I am Bastos, the Steel Dragon, and the little guy you saved is my nephew.
Those guys are relying on their status to not ask you properly, but they insist on doing some kind of dragon power test, so ignore them!"
I...it's not like I can just ignore it if I say so...
Gretel smiled bitterly. The steel dragon Bastos had already grasped Gretel's right hand and shook it up and down with such force that he almost threw Gretel straight away:
"Master Nordmark, thank you very much for your willingness to help us! You are sincere and willing to help our dragon clan solve the problem, we are very grateful!
Those guys who were beaten stupid by the fight refused to read the paper, and refused to ask proper questions. They insisted on using the dragon's power to oppress you, you bastards! Please ask for help, how can you do such a thing!"
Gretel could only smile in return, and at the same time he was glad that his defensive spells were strong enough to withstand the opponent's strong shaking. He was not surprised by the attitude of the black dragon. After Bastos said it, he became more clear:
As the elders in previous lives often said, "I don't invest in projects, but in people." If the people are right, everything will be easy; if the people are wrong, no matter how good the project is, they won't invest.
As for the project itself, those high, sophisticated, cutting-edge, and specialized things will be explained to the elders by their own experts. If you understand what you don’t understand, it’s a different matter. Just have a general idea. Anyway, you have a lot of money, and you are a venture capital investor.
Can afford to lose.
It's just that black dragons, or dragons, rely on their strength and high status, so-called "viewing people" in a particularly simple and crude way...
Bastos shook it hard for a while. Seeing that every bone in his body was shaking, he finally let go and patted Grete hard again:
"Master Nordmark, if you need anything during your research, please tell us directly! Whatever we have, we will try our best to provide it!
You need dragon beasts, right? There are two of them in my territory right now. I will ask them to send them directly after the meeting is over!"
"Okay, Bastos, go back to your seat, let's move on to the next topic." Next to him, Elder Batista finally coughed and raised his voice to interrupt.
He raised his hand and waved, and a beam of light hung down from the sky. He wrapped the steel dragon and returned. Then, he straightened his face and asked Grete:
"Mage Nordmark, according to your current research plan, how many dragon beasts are needed, and how many dragons are needed to join the research? How far can you achieve given these resources?"
Okay, this is the time to officially start talking about things - or in other words, talking about the price. Gretel took a deep breath, concentrated briefly, pulled out the data from the meditation core, and started talking:
"My current research plan is temporarily divided into three phases. The first phase is to use dragon beasts as experimental subjects to confirm that the fertilized eggs induced by artificial insemination can grow normally in the mother's body and successfully give birth to live, healthy eggs.
dragon eggs;
In the second issue, we will understand the pregnancy process of dragons, and try to use the data accumulated on dragon beasts to help dragons in need conceive dragon eggs and successfully give birth;
The third phase is to track the entire process of dragon egg hatching, and try to help the young dragon grow so that the young dragon can awaken as many of its true names as possible."
These contents have not been written in the paper, and are also the first time many legendary dragons present have heard of them. But I have to say that each of these three steps addresses the needs of the dragon clan;
The dismantled steps sound much more reliable than the grand statement "I want to help the Dragon Clan have more children"...
There was silence in the venue. The dragons held their breath and stopped even chatting in private - maybe they still chatted, but they turned on the spiritual connection or other contact methods and did not make any noise in front of Gretel.
Gretel also enjoyed the respect of the other party. He took a deep breath and raised his voice:
"So far, we know almost nothing about the pregnancy process of dragons. Therefore, in the first stage, we need at least 20 pairs of dragon beasts that have reached the breeding stage to conduct experiments on fertilized eggs."
"20 pairs?!"
"20 pairs!"
"Are you kidding, 20 pairs! Where can I get so many..."
The most excited ones were the future father-in-law and mother-in-law. Cynthia lowered her head to look at Grete, but her daughter’s huge body was blocking the top of Grete, making it difficult to pick him up and shake him;
But Andre had already lowered his head, and the rumbling voice of inquiry reached Gretel's ears through magic:
"Twenty pairs of dragon beasts! They will eat up all the territory!"
Well, actually 10 pairs are fine. After all, there are only 5 technical routes he has designed so far, and each route has two pairs of dragon beasts, which is barely usable.
It really doesn't work. It doesn't matter if there are 20 female dragon beasts and a few male dragon beasts are missing. On the contrary, it will help control variables. - Anyway, no one will care about the existence of dragon beasts and the close bloodlines of the population...
The conference hall was once again in chaos, with high and low dragon roars echoing throughout the hall. Gretel turned a deaf ear and continued speaking:
"——Of course, in order to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results, it is best for these dragon beasts to come from the same race and have the same level as possible. For example, they are all adult dragon beasts, and they are all adult dragon beasts with relatively strong fecundity."
He just talks and makes conditions. As for whether his words can penetrate the roar of the dragon and reach the ears of every legendary dragon, Gretel is not responsible at all:
Could it be that you invited me here and didn't even help me adjust the microphone for pronunciation?
The dragon's roar became even louder. Grete waited patiently for a long time. Suddenly, a particularly penetrating dragon's roar overwhelmed all the sounds and echoed in the sky above the meeting hall.
The old silver dragon Battista fluttered his wings and circled around the top of the slightly closed petals:
"Okay! Don't make any noise! - The old rule is to send a signal if you are willing to provide the dragon beast.
Of course, if you don’t provide dragon beasts, there will be a demand for them in the future. Without research on your race, the Nordmark mage may not be able to help you get pregnant!”
Hmm...is this what "this institute only accepts unconditional donations and does not accept conditional investments, but can prioritize research based on the needs of investors"?
Dragons are very good at playing!
Grete stood firmly in place, keeping smiling and motionless. In a moment, a golden ball of light rose into the sky, another silver ball rose into the sky, and another pure white ball rose into the sky...
"Deduction of 1 for payment?"
Grete silently gave the Dragon Clan a thumbs up. He waited patiently for a while, counted over and over again, and after counting 40 light balls, he turned to look at Elder Batista and smiled.
"The numbers seem to be enough." Elder Batista also nodded:
"Mage Nordmark, I will coordinate the issues raised by the dragon beasts. Within ten days after your return, all the dragon beasts will be sent to the research institute, is that okay?"
Grete calculated the area around the laboratory, and considered the speed at which the casters built the animal pens overnight, and nodded. After thinking about it, he added:
"Feeding so many dragon beasts at the same time will obviously have a huge impact on the ecology of my territory. At the same time, I think you will also pay attention to the health and safety of the dragon beasts——
In this way, for each territory that provides dragon beasts, please send one to several subordinates to accompany them, raise the dragon beasts as required, and transport dragon beast food from your territory. Is this okay?"
You have to do it, you have to do it, you have to do it if you can't. The scene was silent, and the dragons stood quietly, without saying a word. Judging from their appearance, many of them didn't have any opinions, but they didn't want to talk at all...
"In addition, in order to conduct the first phase of research, my research institute also needs quite a lot of energy and spell-casting materials. To do various examinations for the dragon beast and to provide energy for the fertilized eggs and the pregnant dragon beast, I need the following items
:
1. One magic crystal mine is enough to supply the Mage Tower with full power operation for 24 hours;
2. 20 tons of star pattern steel, used to build the base of the energy supply array;
3, 5 tons of red flame stone..."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a long list came out. As Grete spoke, he raised his hand, and a thick roll of magic beast skin flew out of the space equipment and hung in the air.
He stretched out his finger again, and a bolt of lightning fell on the skin of the magic beast. The electric light crisscrossed and burned out line after line of dazzling text. The speed he spoke was only one-third of the speed of typing text. He didn't say much, and the skin of the magic beast was already full.
It’s full of words:
"These are all needed for initial research. Please gather them together and send them over in time. The previous research materials were all brought by us and are almost used up."
Longdao project!
Items that the Dragon Clan needs!
Even if the magicians come all the way to study one of his projects, they can't be allowed to subsidize it out of their own pockets! Not to mention the reward, at least provide the research materials!
Of course, there is no need to distinguish so clearly among these research materials, which ones are urgently needed in the current period, which ones are needed for mid-term and long-term research, and which ones are added incidentally...
"This this……"
The meeting hall became even quieter. For the legendary dragon, Gretel's demand list was not something that he couldn't get out, or even that he would become poor after he took it out——
However, which legendary dragon, or even any dragon clan, is willing to take out the collection from its own treasure house and give it to others?
It's better to peel off their dragon scales!
Peel their dragon skin off!
Release their dragon blood!
"Must...must be so many?"
A question came from across the hall. The voice was erratic and slightly trembling. Gretel followed the sound and was not sure who was speaking for the moment, so he could only complain silently in his heart:
Which legendary dragon is this?
They have become legends. If you take out some of the magic materials you have accumulated, will your voice even tremble?
——By the way, which branch of the dragon clan is the stingiest?
"Without these materials, many projects cannot be completed, or in other words, there is no way to achieve the required effects." Grete spread his hands innocently:
"After all, materials are needed for exploration, materials are also needed for building magic arrays, and even more materials are needed to gather designated energy. If you really can't get it, you can convert it into gold coins or other valuables. We will issue a task and let the mercenaries find it..."
"..."
"..."
"Everyone, please claim this list." After a long silence, Elder Batista coughed lightly and raised his voice:
"Anyone who needs to have offspring doesn't want his or her territory to be raked over by others... By the way, Gretel, should I send you to rest first?"
"OK!"
You know, you just don’t want me to see how much money a group of legendary dragons pay for someone, and they are at loggerheads...
