Is this really just an RPG? !

Writing is an art.

Words are power.

Words are a symbol of civilization of a race.

There are many races living on Lindsay Continent. There are even more words circulating in this land. There are dozens of ways to express the same sentence, not to mention that there is a more peculiar language on top of these continental languages ​​and lingua franca, such as spellcaster The rune used when casting spells or making props and magic circles.

The creators of the runes are gods, and their purpose is to allow their believers to manipulate this special power that does not belong to them that originally existed in nature through language and writing. However, the rune is not only used for this purpose, sometimes it can also be used as ordinary words to convey the meaning you want to express, or to vent your uncontrollable emotions.

——It's just that it's hard for most people to understand.

——After all, the translation of runes has different opinions, and there is no way to force others to understand it according to their own meaning.

Having said that, the topic should naturally turn back to the dragon I met.

As a brave man who has been blamed and has a tendency to clean up, in order to prevent himself from being arrested or kicked out when he comes to Iceland again in the future, he naturally agreed to Julie's request and "completed" in the form of a transaction. The other party's entrustment" is used as a weight in exchange for a period of innocence and freedom.

Whether you can completely deal with this incident afterwards depends on whether you have fulfilled the other party's commission well.

It's like paying a deposit and settling the final payment.

Eh? It's crooked, that's not what I want to talk about.

The fundamental reason why language is mentioned as a civilization is that at this moment, I have a strong and colorful emotion in my heart. Just at that moment, I suddenly realized the importance and power of language. Even if it is the same sentence, as long as I change the tone, I can perfectly express my inner thoughts.

"To 5!"

"What?"

"Yes 9!"

"What..."

"Yes J!"

"What!"

So, why did it develop into a happy four-player situation?

Which step was wrongly estimated by me, which led to the current situation: Sitting on my left is Lilith who has already taken off her coat. She lazily retracts her hands into the bed, showing a satisfied expression; On my right is a boy with short blue hair and golden pupils sitting opposite me, lying on the table and stretching forward Hands out, trying to take this last card from me.

"Neil! Neil! What card are you holding!"

"Emmm... Queen of Hearts."

"Oh! Neil lost again!"

"..."

I really want to kill this dragon cub!

Yes, that's right! The boy in front of him who looks like a human is actually a juvenile blue dragon, which is the guy who lives on the ice field that we are looking for in the commission. Before the meeting, I had made many guesses. The most unlikely and most reassuring guess was that the other party made some kind of request in exchange for the crown, but when I met the other party, the actual situation was not what I imagined. that bad.

It can even be said to be too good to be true.

——"Eh? You want that shiny golden thing!"

—— "Take it away, take it away, do you want to memorize it, I have a lot of collections!"

——"Oh, of course I collect these things as gifts! Because my goal is to be a high-end and high-end umpi!"

Boy, that's not an um, it's an NPC.

Then again, why is a dragon so obsessed with being an NPC?

——"Because my irresponsible parents and sister said it! My guardian is the current hero...Eh, um...what's his name? Inner ear?"

No, no, boy, my name is Neil not Inner Ear.

How about something weird about the inner ear?

——"So one of you is a brave man?"

Well, the co-author didn't listen to people well from the very beginning...or he was running with the idea of ​​"finally someone came and can look through those multiplayer games to play together" from the very beginning, without thinking about it at all This how-to-seem adventure party will emerge from the depths of the lair.

In other words: this dragon is either open-minded and free; or it is completely brainless.

I am more inclined to the former.

But the other party has always maintained the temperament that he showed when we first met, so I have to seriously think about the possibility of the latter.

No one knows why this dragon dug such a crooked hole behind its lair, even he himself didn't give an explanation, he just vaguely gave "I have nothing to do, just plan and plan." Appeared" and "I just found a lot of things to play with, but it's still great", and I didn't care about four people suddenly appearing in my house, and even turned into human beings to entertain them.

The treat was the strange object he had rummaged through in that empty metal room.

There are many such metal rooms, at least when we came here, we could see many branch roads. At that time, in order to get to the place where the dragon was as soon as possible, I only chose the nearest passage. The way to another metal room?

Relics from an era earlier than the Age of Doom.

Neither the workmanship nor the principle can be understood, even if it is a product of another world, no one will be surprised.

Even Lilith could only roughly guess what the materials were made of, but she couldn't analyze the working principle of these items, just like the cylindrical luminous object she is holding in her hand at this moment, as long as she presses the switch, she can move forward. The optical fiber is irradiated, and the optical fiber will disappear by pressing the switch again.

"It's a bit like adding the [Light Art] to control the runes."

"It's true what you said... Suddenly I have a thought, I think I can use this as a reference for my next magic item."

"what?"

"Stop the holy light! You can shine on those who are afraid of the holy light!"

"..."

I don't know why, after hearing Lilith's words, a picture of a priest holding a stick-shaped holy light emitter to expel the filth appeared in my mind, while shouting "God, remove the darkness in front of my eyes!" "While pressing the switch of the magic item in his hand...it couldn't be more weird.

There are a lot of things Xiaolong dug out, although most of them are related to entertainment, but Lilith can always get new ideas to help her completely forget the beginning, and pull Emily and Sen to study these existing things. A super old antique that has been forgotten.

——No matter how you look at it, Sen is forced, but Emily is more than happy to leave troublesome things to me to deal with.

I am a little distressed, the stove is so comfortable that I don't want to leave at all, but Emily just squeezes me aside, even though she is only a girl of about ten years old, she still occupies a lot of places, not to mention she is still He kicked me out with the excuse of "people who don't know much to play with the cubs" and dragged Sen to sit next to her.

Sen gave me an apologetic look, and I didn't pursue the matter. I thought she shook her head to show that she didn't care, then turned and sat beside Xiaolong. It was rare for Qiuqiu not to go to Lilith's side, probably because the library manager didn't like those profound and complicated contents. Staring at each other, and attracted the same attitude back.

The picture of two guys, one big and one small, staring at each other is a little subtle, and there seems to be something wrong there.

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy you can see Qiuqiu!"

"Yes, I can see it! Because my sister has a sibling!"

"Oh...wait a minute, do you mind being called a brat?"

"Ah, because my sister often calls me that too."

"..."

What I might have encountered was a false dragon.

I have never seen such a fresh, refined and good-tempered dragon cub who is so obedient and obedient.

The next door has turned from a discussion to a debate, and even a certain princess is planning to dig out materials and find tools to make something on the spot for practical operation, but although there are many materials in my storage space, there are few tools that can be used In the end, Lilith finally gave up her plan to do the experiment immediately, and instead wrote down her thoughts and tried it after returning home.

I have to be thankful for this, if things go according to what His Highness thinks, it is very likely that this spacious lair with many collections will be blown into ruins in less than two hours.

That's a witch's item science that can be compared with the goblins.

...

Actually!

In the beginning, the props made by Lilith were very reliable.

It's just that she has been traveling with me for a long time, and I don't know why she also has this characteristic that she will explode if she disagrees.

—Maybe this is my fault.

I subconsciously turned my head away, not to look at the research trio over there.

The full name of the blue dragon cub is Gallup Eddie Gloria Griffin. After learning that I am a brave man, he told me this name very seriously, and explained the origin of this name to me: Guy Lopp is the name, which symbolizes his existence; Gloria is the ability, as a blue dragon, he can control the snowstorm at will like the god of severe cold; Griffin is the surname, which means that he is indeed a descendant of the ice dragon family .

As for Eddie.

It was his nickname, a name given to him by his older sister.

It's kind of generic and doesn't mean anything, but I can tell that Eddie really likes it coming from his sister's name.

By the way, Eddie's sister, June Hill Tim Griffin, is a red dragon who likes to stay in the magma, has a bad temper and blows flames and fans. I really don't understand how Eddie's parents are both blue dragons, how did he give birth to such a red dragon that is completely crooked eight thousand miles away.

I can only guess that it was Eddie's dad's blue-skinned head with a patch of green grass.

"I want to see that crown."

Emily and the others don't know how long they will have to struggle with that stick illuminator. To find this rhythm is definitely a tendency to stay in the dragon's lair for a few days. Even if I don't care about the crown, since Eddie said that If you are not interested in the stuff, then this action is not too troublesome, but it should be very anxious for the princess who is about to be crowned!

But also just anxious.

I believe that His Highness is definitely fully prepared.

"Of course!" The boy showed a big smile, which soon turned into an expression full of expectation, "Besides that? Is there anything else you want to see? I have a lot of things here! I have everything... Well, I can’t say everything, but I can guarantee it! Every item in my collection is a rare item! There are even quite a few items that are the only ones!”

Like a child showing off his treasure to adults.

After speaking, he climbed out of the stove.

In less than two seconds, Eddie, who looked a little stiff, got back into the stove again.

"Well, the time is still there, let's get it later."

"...Are you afraid of the cold?"

"It doesn't count, even if it's so comfortable in the stove, who would want to go out, not to mention that my treasure room is a certain distance from here... Wait, which treasure room did I throw that crown into?"

"..."

This is the first time I have seen a blue dragon who is unwilling to leave to accept the cold temperature outside because the stove is too comfortable.

"Anyway, it's snowing outside, and you won't be able to go back with the crown."

No, I think I can go back the same way and go through the small tunnel that was dug out above the ice palace.

"Why are you in a hurry! It's not that I won't give it to you."

No, I think if you don't look for it now there's a good chance you won't be able to find it by tomorrow morning.

"Why don't you come and play games with me!"

"So...you found these games in those metal rooms?"

"perhaps?"

Obviously it was me who asked the question, but it was brought back by the other party. However, there is only this possibility. These things cannot be produced now. Even the goblins and dwarves with the best technology may not be able to make these things. The consequences of forced analysis without corresponding basic knowledge will probably be It's the result of half-baked stuff.

In contrast, it is much simpler to just make these props play their role again.

In the final analysis, there are some props that use energy to achieve a certain purpose. Treat them as magic props or special magic circles, and you can easily understand how to activate these props—even if you can’t analyze the materials and methods of making props, you can still use them. Be aware of the pathways of energies within and understand how they work.

It's like Eddie is holding a palm-sized prop in his hand. I don't understand what it is, and I don't understand the effect of repeatedly pressing several buttons on the prop. There has to be some kind of energy flowing in order for it to work properly.

As for the energy...

For a dragon, the simplest and most convenient energy is naturally magic power, that is, mana.

"Eddie."

"Um?"

The dragon cub didn't even raise his head, he just responded to me very perfunctorily.

"Do you know the age of these things?"

"I don't know, I'm only five hundred years old."

This just sounds a bit weird, but considering the other party's race, I don't think it's very strange.

"Do your parents know?"

"Maybe I don't know. If I'm not wrong, this probably happened earlier, maybe even earlier than the first god appeared. No one knows what happened to Lindsay Continent at that time... …Well, the world at that time didn’t have the name Lindsay Continent.”

"Lindsay..."

I propped my head on one hand and sighed while looking at Qiuqiu.

As the god of creation, she is also the main god and patron saint of this world, and has the highest authority among the gods. However, according to the information in the endless library, she is not the god who created the world, but just inherited the name of God of Creation. No. The reason why the continent under her feet is called Lindsay Continent is only because she is the first creation god to appear in front of the living beings in the world, so she will naturally have a name.

The God Realm is more complicated than I imagined, even more complicated than the Human Realm.

"Anyway, it is something that has been passed down for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years."

"That number sounds really scary."

"Huh? Is it scary?"

"For humans, it's pretty scary."

"Yes, short-lived species."

There was no sarcasm in Eddie's tone, as if he was just stating a certain fact.

After all, the truth is what he said.

"Okay, I'll go get that crown! It's been so long that I almost remember where I put it."

"Eh? Are you actually thinking?"

"of course!"

He complained like a child, then dropped the things in his hands and stood up, because he couldn't adapt to going from a warm place to a cold place, so he made a trembling sound in a very humane way. I looked at Qiuqiu, and Qiuqiu also looked at me, and I could understand what she meant from the other person's eyes——like me, she felt helpless for this dragon who was afraid of the cold.

Laid down on the table, thinking about how to return to Dababin after I got the crown, I suddenly closed my eyes subconsciously because of a white light from Ibaraki, and when I recovered, I realized that it was Lilith holding the crown. The stick illuminator is pointed at me and the switch is turned on so there is white light from before.

I wanted to complain about her behavior, but I subconsciously stopped because I noticed a little subtle feeling in the white light this time.

It seems like it's not just light?

This seems to be the holy light that Sen uses to illuminate people and demons to illuminate whoever is on the street?

"Look! The newly researched Holy Light Emitter can expel filth and evil in addition to lighting!"

"..."

oh.

They really did this stuff.

How on earth did they manage to make such a magical device without tools.

Could it be...was hand rubbing?
