MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 1390 Long Island Town
~www.novelbuddy.com~ It is not difficult to imagine the consequences of starving a group of dragons. Anyway, don't expect the dragons to starve to death obediently.
However, whether the hunger of the giant dragons is real or fake is open to question.
According to the biological point of view of the earth, the daily food intake of flying birds will be several times its own weight. According to this calculation, the dragon should have an amazing appetite. In fact, it’s amazing, and there’s nothing wrong with it, but the giant dragon has a dormancy mechanism, which allows it to sleep for a long time without eating or drinking, similar to the hibernation of some animals in their hometown.
Moreover, the amount of excretion by the dragon is very small, which means that the conversion efficiency of food in the dragon's body is very high, so there is no need for so much food. But according to various legends and rumors, the amount of food eaten by the giant dragon is astonishing, and it can often eat up an entire village of humans in one go, including the elderly and children.
However, these rumors are usually not substantiated by evidence. If you do an investigation, you can often find out that it is actually a nobleman or a certain force who slaughtered the village under the guise of a giant dragon devouring people.
Anyway, about the physiological condition of the giant dragon, Midi has no special research, and there are only various gossip and unconfirmed rumors. Furthermore, Midi does not have a systematically organized and studied biology.
Most of the magicians who have written the most about this also recorded the action characteristics of monsters or wild beasts for the benefit of combat; they are quite inclusive about other parts and habits. It belongs to writing as soon as you think of it, without checking the authenticity.
These 'undetermined' have become the difficulties that someone must overcome in the next Dragon Island strategy.
In the vague uncertainty about the future, Lin followed the fleet to the destination of the trip, Longdao Town.
In fact, this town has no name, and it is not even a qualified long-term residence. The function of this place is to allow the craftsmen who come to work on Long Island to have a place to live for a short time, and to have suitable people who can receive the goods every time the supply fleet comes.
The latter are small things that dragons usually don't do themselves. And there are quite a lot of fans of the dragon clan who are lost in the land. The dragons choose some people to stay on the island, and it is not a problem to serve them. If one day is in a good mood or in a bad mood, these people are like jelly beans, and they will eat it after eating it. Anyway, these people are willing, and of course the dragons will not have a psychological burden.
Since it is unavoidable that some people stay on Long Island, and it is impossible to allow these people to run around on Long Island, it is normal to establish a temporary Homo sapiens settlement. And because this small town is the only non-Dragon settlement on Long Island, people used to call this place 'Dragon Island Town'.
The above is an introduction from Henry. The actual situation is almost the same as what William's father said, but there are still some discrepancies.
Before seeing it with his own eyes, Lin thought he would only see a bunch of shacks similar to slums, and he didn't expect town planning or anything. But in reality, Longdao Town is not that messy and disorderly.
The most conspicuous thing is that there are several magnificent mansions inside. Even in the Landlord Continent, the capital of any empire, such a house is not something ordinary people can live in. Not to mention on this dragon island where dragons are revered.
Henry, who was staying next to a certain magician, who obviously wanted to win over, noticed someone's suspicious gaze, and immediately explained: "Those houses are where the humanized dragons live, and other people are not qualified to live there. Without permission, it's best not to even approach." Henry knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to recruit this magician. But maintain goodwill and friendship, maybe someday it will come in handy.
Lin Le needs someone to explain his doubts. But this answer also raises a question. "A humanized dragon?" He couldn't help turning his eyes to the unloading dock.
The focus of this trip is of course the live livestock. Even if the commander of the Imperial Navy Fleet is greedy for money, he would not dare to take the risk of messing up his serious mission and deal with his own private affairs first.
Another very important reason is that live animals such as cattle, sheep and pigs transported have limited space for activities on board, and are prone to various problems and even death. Therefore, as soon as they arrive at the destination, the people in the fleet will drive these livestock off the ship as soon as possible, and after counting them, they will send them to pastures in various places. As for those who died, it depends on the situation.
This kind of thing should be fast rather than slow. Letting the livestock spend more time in the crowded environment on the boat means more variables. In comparison, the private goods carried by the fleet are all hard and dead things, not so fast.
So what is being done on the pier is not that the rough laborers on the pier carry the bags, carry the things off the boat, and pile them up somewhere. Instead, a row of people stood on the wall, yelling in their mouths, and drove the disembarked livestock to a certain place. Among these people were the sailors on the ship and the residents of Longdao Town.
The focus of Lin's observation is on these residents who have lived here for a long time.
People who are active in Longdao Town can be roughly divided into three categories from the appearance.
The characteristics of a group of people are the most obvious, and they all wear blue hats. These people did not go to the pier to help drive livestock or load and unload goods, but gathered somewhere to find the registration information of the fleet's affairs officer. When they're done logging in, they hand over their hats. Then waited aside with big bags and small bags.
Another group of people also belong to this category. They were connected by small boats from the fleet, ready to enter Longdao Town. Lin recognized some of them as craftsmen preparing to work on Long Island, and probably the others had the same identity. When they arrive at the pier, they will be given a blue hat to wear.
Then the group of people who are about to leave are the craftsmen who were brought to Long Island to work.
The other group of people lacked the distinctive features of the blue hat. They wore ordinary clothes, bowed their bodies, and performed some trivial chores with great respect. If there is one thing in common, it is the frenzy that flashes in their eyes from time to time, when they look at certain people.
The third type of people is very small in number, but they usually wear very unique and exotic clothes, and they don’t help with anything, just look around and stroll around.
Speaking of it, it really looks like an aristocrat who is fascinated by the landlord mainland. It's just that the behavior of these people is vulgar and rude, and the taste in clothing is more like a decision made at the moment when the head is kicked.
However, no matter where these people go, they always hold their heads high and their toes high. Even if the naval fleet officers of the empire came to them, they still had the same attitude. On the contrary, those military officers who bossed around the people of the Greco Chamber of Commerce all bowed and bowed at this time, showing a respectful attitude.
According to Henry, such people are most likely to be humanized dragons.
Because the livestock had to go ashore first, the battleship Henry, Lin and the others were on was still floating on the river. Some people in charge of negotiations, and the craftsmen who are going to work on Long Island, are connected to the shore by small boats.
Henry, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce and the patriarch of the family, is the final decision maker. Of course, it is impossible to play forward when negotiating, and there is no room for bargaining in this way. So he can still stay on the ship safely, explaining the doubts of a certain magician.
Lin also took this opportunity to learn more about the humanization of the giant dragons on Dragon Island from Henry.
Of the giant dragons that can take human form and live in Longdao Town, a few are needed for work. For example, those who were negotiating with naval officers.
The clothing and appearance of these humanoid dragons are not as flamboyant and individual as other dragons. It is the well-behaved aristocratic dress, the kind that will not be rude when you wear it to attend a noble banquet or formal meeting.
As for other giant dragons that turned into humans, in the eyes of the general dragon clan. It's like the hometown of a certain traveler, some conservative old people saw a special group with Shamat hairstyles, facial makeup, and spiked leather clothes. The comment they are most likely to give is: It is not appropriate to be a good person, you have to be a ghost...
In fact, if you think about it seriously, this is also normal. According to Augustus, the old black dragon at home, the invention of humanization magic by the dragon clan actually originated from transformation magic. The original intention was that in the era of the rise of Homo sapiens, it could be mixed into the crowd to inquire about intelligence.
In other words, humanization magic itself is a kind of transformation magic with a purpose. The Dragon Clan who turned himself into a human for nothing must be a guy with an abnormal brain. According to someone's understanding, these humanized giant dragons are the secondary patients in the Dragon Clan.
However, this group of humanized middle-class dragons are the ones that most need to stay away from on Long Island.
Other dragons can eat people, mostly because of hunger, and a small part because of the vicious taste in their bones. Otherwise, they wouldn't let the cattle, sheep and pigs not eat, and insisted on finding jelly bean people to eat them. However, the biggest problem with the humanized secondary dragons is that they cannot be predicted. No one can guess what these dragons will do, including the dragons themselves.
Compared with 'crazy', other giant dragons prefer to call these second-tier dragons 'stupid', and then stay away from them. I don't even want to see the Dragon Clan, so we can see how annoying this group ~www.novelbuddy.com~ who likes to move after being transformed into a human form.
Although the above is just Henry's introduction, Lin has already marked the group of humanized dragons with a huge cross. The Yuan Fei House, which once had a black historical era, of course knows how troublesome this group is. Sometimes this kind of person doesn't do it out of malice, it's just a crime...
Because someone else commits a crime, he will be given a realistic beating. To be honest, someone is not that vicious. But if he said he was disgusted by others, he would let it go gently, and someone hadn't been so self-abuse yet. So the best way, of course, is to go as far as you can. There is no need to be serious about those who suffer from the second illness. This is a suggestion for myself who has experienced that era.
After getting a general understanding of the situation in Longdao Town, Lin turned the topic back to matters related to himself. In other words, he might be able to find a dragon to resolve his dispute with Long Dao. After resolving the dispute, it is time to find a way to promote the matter of the goddess of gold coins.
Some people don't think that the Dragon Clan is so tolerant that they can put the dispute aside and deal with the common interests first. Not to mention whether the Goddess of Gold Coins can provide benefits to the Dragon Clan, Lin still has no idea.
In other words, even if his start on Dragon Island wasn't hell-level difficulty, it was still a mess. I hope that there will be no one who doesn't have eyes and will take the initiative to make trouble.
