Chapter 1585 Ten times the price, I will make a prediction for you!
"I'm tired of looking at the future."
"You watch it every day anyway, so it doesn't matter if you watch it more."
"But watching Legend is very tiring." Sainz, the Time Dragon, has a face with no gaps at all. The smoothness can match that of a steel plate, and there are no wrinkles at all:
"I do not want to look."
"You should try it once in a while!" Gretel also joined in the persuasion:
"Aren't you tired of looking at the oak staff every day? If you look at the oak staff every day, you will also see legends from time to time! Now that you have seen them all, wouldn't it be nice to change your eyes and change your mood by looking at the dragon legends?"
"I don't want to." Sainz's face became more and more indifferent, and he turned his head towards the window again. Before his eyes glowed with color, Grete quickly turned to him and stood on tiptoe to point at him.
s eyes:
"Don't you want to improve your strength? Don't you want to watch more? Haven't you always told me that watching 12 hours a day is not enough for you and will not serve as a workout?
——Then let’s look at the Dragon Clan again! Look at your fellow tribesmen, help them, and put some pressure on you to exercise, wouldn’t it be nice?”
Sainz turned his head again, but did not open his mouth to refute. Elder Batista immediately followed suit:
"Yes, yes, wouldn't it be great to not only increase your strength but also help your fellow clansmen? To be honest, if the dragon clan really suffers heavy casualties, declines, and gives up its No. 1 position in the world, it won't do anything to you.
What a benefit!”
"The position of No. 1 in the world has been given up a long time ago." Time Dragon said coldly. Before the elder could refute, he added two more words, which fell to the ground like ice and snow:
"Humanity."
Yes, humans.
With their huge population size, strong reproductive capacity, creativity, research capabilities, and various abilities, humans have occupied the continent with the most abundant resources in the world, driving other races to the corners.
On those continents, there are also legends of dragons, giant dragons, and evil dragons widely circulated. In the past, it was the paradise of their dragons.
But now, whether it's because I dislike being too noisy, or because I hate the waves of so-called brave men who come to take risks, or because they are squeezed out of the living space by humans...
In short, the elves traveled across the ocean, the dragons moved to Dragon Island, the dwarves fled to the mountains of the Black Gate Peninsula, and the orcs were driven far into the desert.
Human beings, and only human beings, occupy the most suitable soil for survival in this world.
Grete turned his head silently, not wanting to speak. Archmage Philbi even breathed softly, fearing that his presence would be too strong, and if he was not careful, he would be disliked by some dragon, and then he would get into trouble...
Elder Batista was stunned for a moment. Then the old man stroked his beard and let out a long sigh:
"Yes, yes. So we can't suffer any more losses. At least, we can't suffer too big losses anymore - Sainz, since you understand this, can you help us?"
Sainz remained sullen and silent. After a while, he whispered:
"If I interfere in the future, I will suffer backlash. The more I interfere, the more backlash I will suffer."
"But you helped us predict -" Gretel was surprised. Sainz glanced at him:
"What do you mean by that? A dragon beast, a lizard, even a baby dragon, so what? Take a look at it and tell it, you won't stop raising it properly because of this, and just let it die!
"
Those insignificant things, even if they are predicted a thousand or ten thousand times, as long as Gretel and the others raise these little guys well and raise them to the point in time he sees, they will not disturb the river of time.
Huh, as a time dragon, he doesn't even have the ability to cheat at this level. How could he survive until now?
"But Legend is different! Changing the fate of Legend is too much of a burden for me!"
He answered decisively. After speaking, he took a dozen steps forward, jumped up, and left the mage tower.
Gretel and Elder Batista followed closely behind, following the Time Dragon to fly several kilometers, found a flat river beach, unfolded the dragon's body, and showed them the traces on his body:
"You see, observing the fate of a lizard and simply speaking about it will only add such a small scratch on my scales. If you don't pay attention, you can't see it at all.
Telling the fate of a dragon beast, even if it is the first dragon beast that is injected with dragon soul, gains wisdom, and becomes a real dragon, it will only make my scales, just a dragon scale, be beaten by the river of time and become
Mottled and old.
But changing the fate of the legendary dragon——"
He turned around and raised the left dragon wing high, revealing a huge piece under the dragon wing, about one square meter in size. There, the charcoal-black dragon scales turned white, curled, became brittle, and appeared many
Many cracks.
"Forcibly changing his fate, the twisted river of time will hit me directly! It hurts, very painful! Not only will it hurt my scales, but it will also cause pain in my chest, tightness, breathlessness, and bones that feel like
I need to fold it a bit..."
Elder Batista was speechless for a moment. Gretel was beside him and asked in a low voice:
"how so?"
"...Because the river of time is not something that can be disturbed so easily." Elder Batista was a little embarrassed, glanced at the time dragon quickly, and quickly found a topic to interrupt:
"The river of time is like the river in front of us. We are all fish swimming in it. When fish are in the water, they cannot see clearly the current in front of them, unless there is a reef in front of them, which is very close.
Near, or——”
"Or jump, right?"
An idea flashed in Gretel's mind and he quickly responded. Elder Batista nodded:
"Yes, jump up. A prophet with weak talent can jump lower, and the distance of the water that can be seen in front of him is relatively close. Of course, after jumping into the water, the impact will be smaller when he falls into the water."
"But a prophet with strong talent can jump very high and see far, but he will be hit harder. This is why the lifespan of a prophet is not very long." Gretel followed his words.
interface:
"Moreover, if there are rocks and relatively large waves ahead - that is to say, if something particularly big happens, you can still see it at a glance even if you don't jump very high."
"That's right." Elder Batista nodded in approval:
"Due to its special talent, the Time Dragon can fly out of the River of Time very smoothly, take a quick look at it from a distance, and then dive into the water with almost no impact.
He glanced sideways at the Time Dragon. Sainz had lowered his wings to cover the large injury at the root of the dragon's wings. But those mottled, broken, curled, and white dragon scales still felt like they were burning.
, stubbornly staying in his field of vision.
"But, force it to change its course, or even just change a small tributary..."
That can't happen without paying a price. Moreover, changing the name of the legendary dragon will cost a considerable price.
Grete also fell silent. Although in his opinion, if he could change his fate once and pay for only one square meter of dragon scales, the Time Dragon Lord could at least carry it hundreds of times, but he could not forgive others.
After a long silence, Gretel walked towards Sainz in small steps and asked in a low voice:
"Then...is there any other way? For example, using spells, magic circles, or various methods to help you share part of the backlash? Or if the healing spell can cure it, let's try our best to treat it? Or..."
"...It's not like there's nothing..."
Sainz had a cold face and didn't want to answer at first, but when he saw Gretel raising his head and tiptoeing, trying to look up at him, he still replied indifferently.
In fact, if something like backlash is relatively light, it is not impossible to carry it. Carrying it through is also a kind of exercise for yourself.
However, there is no benefit, not enough benefit, so why should he carry it? Why should he carry it for irrelevant mortal things?
After this time, and the next one, the Dragon Clan's war will last for many, many years. During this long time, the Dragon Clan has been bothering him, begging him for prophecies, and disturbing him until he has no peace...
What does he want?
What's the picture?!
The time dragon is not that kind of mortal thing. As long as the time dragon spends its years normally, even if it does nothing but just lies in the dragon's nest and watches the flow of time every day, it can become a legend and a being comparable to the gods!
Of course, there are benefits, and it doesn't mean that we can't help them... But the premise is not to let him bargain by himself, it is too tiring, and it is too embarrassing...
He replied this sentence, closed his eyes again, and lay down lazily. Gretel suddenly brightened up:
"As long as there is a way! Elder, elder! Whatever conditions are needed, we will provide them and try to reduce the backlash!"
Elder Batista was also very moved. He took two quick steps and rushed to the Time Dragon. After thinking about it, he also unfolded the silver dragon form and lay down face to face with the Time Dragon:
"So, old friend, old buddy, help us? You make an order for the magic circle, magic equipment, and various materials needed to reduce the backlash, and I'll let them prepare it!
The dragons who want to make prophecies from you should come to you with their own materials and magic equipment! For each prophecy, prepare at least three times the materials, no, five times! Is five times okay?"
Sainz closed his eyes and said nothing. Gretel looked left and right, but he could only bravely float up a few meters, stand between the two giant dragons, and act as the mouthpiece for the Time Dragon:
"How much backlash can be reduced by using a magic circle constructed with the best materials and equipment? Is 90% enough? ... 80%? 70%? 50%? ... It can't only be reduced by one-third, right?
"
"The magic circle used by human prophets can at least reduce the backlash by half." Elder Batista was well-informed and quickly gave the answer:
"If you find someone to share the burden, even if you are not gifted with prophecy, standing in the magic circle and sharing the burden, you can cut the remaining backlash in half."
"But the Dragon Clan makes prophecies, and the backlash is relatively strong... Can we find a few more dragons to share the backlash, adult dragons, and mature dragons? If we set up a magic circle, the Mage Tower can use manpower..."
Grete counted the numbers one by one with his fingers. Sainz only felt that his ears were buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, and even the river of time in front of him seemed to have a double image. He was so annoyed that he shouted:
"Stop arguing! - Ten times the materials, one prophecy, let them bring their own things and set up the magic circle! Up to five times a month!"
"yeah!"
Gretel happily flew out his force field hand and gave Elder Batista a hard slap.
