My wife is a dragon

Chapter 20 - It turns out I am nothing

Xia Li has always believed that educating evil dragons is not a simple matter.

He not only wants to teach Lucia to live in a human way, but also to teach her how to integrate into human society.

The former is not difficult. As long as they stay together for a long time, I believe Lucia will soon be able to imitate Xia Li's lifestyle.

But the latter is very difficult.

Integrating into society is not as simple as finding a job and building your own circle of friends.

For Lucia, the first step she has to take is also the most difficult step, which is the change in concept.

She has lived in the Eze continent for a hundred years with the inherent thinking of the dragon race. During this hundred years, she has constructed her own concepts and formed her own subjective consciousness.

The dragon race has no concept of "trading".

No matter what they like, they rely on one word-robbery.

The weaker dragons rob secretly, while the stronger ones rob openly.

If they can't rob, they fight, if they can't fight, they run away, and if they fight, they take it for themselves.

It can be said that the way dragons survive in the Eze continent is similar to that of ordinary beasts.

Although they can speak human language, no dragon is willing to establish communication. They are completely arbitrary according to their nature and wildness, relying on their powerful bodies.

Now, Xia Li wants this evil dragon that has lived alone for a hundred years to change his traditional concept...

It is almost as difficult as taming a coyote to integrate into a human family.

There is no way to start.

"Xia Li, did you just make these grains of rice in the pot?"

Lucia finished her bowl of egg fried rice and stared at Xia Li's bowl greedily.

Although she wanted to eat it, Lucia did not choose to grab it.

After all, she couldn't beat Xia Li now, and it was not a glorious thing to be Xia Li's subordinate and defeat the dragon.

Lucia's legs were hanging in the air, and she supported her hands on both sides of her body, and her mind was still savoring the rice just now.

"Your cooking is delicious. I didn't expect you to be a cook.

If you cooked this kind of food for me in the Aize Continent, I would definitely not attack you... maybe we could become friends."

Lucia's tone was a little regretful.

The hero was obviously a good person, why did they fight each other when they met before?

She just ate a few noble goats and robbed some gold coins from a certain earl's warehouse...

"Lucia, there is a truth I want to tell you."

Xia Li took a few bites of egg fried rice, and when he was almost done, he put down his chopsticks and his tone suddenly became serious.

Lucia's dangling legs stopped and nodded attentively to Xia Li.

"You say."

"It's about the law of this world... In fact, this law is also applicable to the Aize continent."

Xia Li said seriously: "No matter what the circumstances, robbing things is not advisable.

Robbing things in the Aize continent will be put on the wanted list and hung on the commission wall.

Robbing things on Earth will also be wanted."

"Oh..." Lucia thought for a while, "So, if I go to rob the golden crown just now, I will be robbed by humans on Earth?"

"That's about it." Xia Li nodded.

Lucia heard it and fell silent.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, dragons are born to be robbed by humans.

No matter whether they have robbed things or set foot on human territory, every dragon on the Aize continent is an object of punitiveness in the eyes of humans.

Otherwise, why would humans not let go of even the dragon cubs who just opened their eyes?

And the dragon eggs hidden in the nest are the same.

Those dragon eggs taken away by humans, if lucky, will be hatched and raised as slaves. If unlucky, or if they are judged by humans to be difficult to control, they will have their eggshells pierced with swords, or taken home and cooked.

Humans say that dragons are cruel, but in the eyes of dragons, humans are also cruel.

"Then I won't go to 'rob', I can just 'take'."

Lucia hesitated for a while, thinking that there must be something wrong with her approach, so she corrected herself and said, "I'll just open the door of the glass cabinet in the gold shop and take the gold crown away!"

"...I'm not here to ask you to quibble,"

Xia Li wanted to hold his forehead.

But considering that this guy's concept must be changed, he added, "Everything you do now is 'unearned gain', and this kind of thing will be judged as 'illegal' by this society."

"How can you say that I am unearned gain!"

Lucia blinked in surprise: "When I go to rob, it is also a kind of labor... Just like the dragons go out hunting, I consume energy and harvest prey. Can this be considered robbing?"

"..." Xia Li was choked by her words.

In the eyes of the evil dragon, this world is still the law of the jungle, and the things she robbed with her own ability are not considered robbing.

"Humans are always like this, taking all resources for themselves, they distribute food, divide territories, and even wild animals and birds will be kept in captivity and labeled by them.

But we dragons also have to survive, we need a place to rest and eat...

On the contrary, you not only deprive us of our living space bit by bit, but also put an evil hat on us."

Lucia really can't understand the concept of humans.

She thought of her way of survival for the past hundred years, the days of stopping and starting, hiding from place to place.

Her nest was always being plundered and plundered. When humans took her territory, she would go to take it back. If she won, she would stay for a few more years, and if she lost, she would leave.

From a young dragon to an adult dragon, Lucia had never had a place to stay for a long time.

She felt wronged when she thought of these.

Especially the brave man named Xia Li in front of her.

He had overturned her nest at least three times, right? !

The demon-killing sword in Xia Li's hand was completely beyond the normal combat system!

Fortunately, Lucia ran fast every time, otherwise she would definitely be defeated and captured... At that time, she would probably be forced to give birth to a nest of little dragons!

Thinking of this, Lucia took a fierce look at Xia Li's home.

Xia Li had robbed her home so many times, shouldn't it be her turn to rob it once!

Lucia clenched her little fist, raised it, and tried to smash it viciously on the table.

However, when she saw the empty rice bowl on the table, she felt soft-hearted again.

Lucia said angrily, picking up two grains of rice from the rice bowl and stuffing them into her mouth.

"Besides the need for survival, the only thing the dragon race likes is shiny things...

We do like to rob the gold coins of human nobles, but what's wrong with liking such things? It's not something that harms the heaven and earth.

You humans also like to wear animal fur on your body. In this regard, it is you who kill, and we don't kill."

Lucia was picking up rice on the table and eating, while she was indignant.

Seeing this, Xia Li pushed his unfinished rice bowl forward.

Lucia's originally dull face was happy.

She pointed at herself, meaning, 'Is this for me to eat? '

Xia Li nodded.

Xia Li didn't expect that Lucia was actually reasoning with him.

He thought that such a clash of values ​​would lead to a big quarrel.

As a result, Lucia was angry, but there was no sign of losing her temper.

Are all dragons so good-tempered?

Xia Li doesn't remember that the dragon race has such a setting.

It could only be that Lucia's personality is like this.

This guy is so easy to coax.

She was angry just now, but now she is smiling while eating.

"I can understand your feelings."

Xia Li's eyes fell on Lucia's face as she was eating. He slowed down his voice and said, "After all, there are more intelligent species on the Aize continent than just humans. Each of you has your own ideas and positions.

Resource disputes are also disputes over interests. You are not as smart as humans, so even if you have powerful power, you can only suffer at the hands of humans."

Lucia listened to Xia Li's words and raised her head slightly from the basin.

There were still rice grains on her cheeks, and her amber eyes showed the same slightly aggrieved look as before.

Xia Li just said that he understood her very well.

Lucia has been lonely for a hundred years and has never thought about making others feel the same way as she does.

Such words coming from a human hero made Lucia feel strange.

Lucia's nose was sour, and she was inexplicably moved.

Once emotions are discovered, they will begin to magnify.

A giant dragon like Lucia, who just turned 100 years old, is only about 18 years old in human age.

In addition, the intelligence of dragons is relatively low.

Although they have a huge body, dragons are actually very simple creatures.

"Well... It's okay, humans can't beat me anyway.

If you didn't have that demon-killing sword, I could have taken down the castle..."

Lucia muttered, poking the rice grains on the table with her fingers.

I didn't expect that after being beaten by Xia Li for three years, I was comforted by Xia Li in return.

Xia Li ignored her whispered complaints and said with a stronger tone.

"However, this is Earth.

It is different from Aize Continent. Here, there is only one intelligent race, humans, and the entire planet is completely dominated by humans."

Xia Li would not argue with Lucia about the right and wrong on Aize Continent.

They are different races, and naturally have different positions. No one is a real bad person, so this kind of argument is meaningless.

What's more, the concept of Earth is different from that of Aize Continent. The two places are very different in terms of worldview.

"Here, everything you see is dominated by people, and anything you can touch has its own owner.

Our resources have long been allocated, and the wars that should be fought have almost been fought. There may be a reshuffle in the future, but now is a peaceful stage.

Now the land under your feet has complete laws and rules. Your only way to survive is to survive under the protection of the rules, and the prerequisite for this is to follow the rules."

Xia Li paused here, and saw that Lucia was listening carefully, so he continued.

"I'm going to explain the rules to you now, and you must strictly follow them in the future.

Anything you want to get, it either belongs to the country or to a private person.

Let's not talk about the country's things for now, you can't shake them with your strength, and these things that belong to private people are all earned by the other party with hard work. If you take them away easily, you are breaking the law and committing a crime."

Lucia at the table was trying to understand these words.

Xia Li saw from her frowning eyebrows that this guy's CPU should be in a state of smoking.

"Let me give you an example," Xia Li said, clearing his throat.

"For example, you spent a day in the kitchen making a bowl of rice. At this time, you are already hungry, but suddenly someone breaks in and steals your rice. What will you do?"

"I will beat him up." Lucia answered immediately.

"Yes, that's it," Xia Li said again, "but the rule of this society is: there will be special people to teach such thieves a lesson. They will be interrogated and charged, and then put in jail, and finally pay a more serious price than stealing a bowl of rice.

Although they will not be directly executed like in the Aize Continent where you used to live, the punishment here is also quite severe.

For example, you have to step on a sewing machine for a lifetime...

It means cooking for others for a lifetime, but you can't eat it yourself."

In order to make it easier for Lucia to understand, Xia Li changed the statement to make her feel more involved.

Lucia felt horrible when she heard it.

Cooking for others for a lifetime, but you can't eat a bite?

Isn't this going to make her greedy to death?

"Do you know how serious it is?"

Xia Li saw the horrified expression on Lucia's face and knew that what he said worked.

"I know." Lucia nodded vigorously.

Lucia likes Earth very much. She likes the food here and the dragon's nest that Xia Li made for her.

She has always been willing to live according to the rules of this world, but she doesn't understand the rules here very well.

Now that Xia Li told her, she knows what to do.

"Xia Li, I have another question."

"You ask."

"You just said that anything I want has its own belonging... Then Xia Li, what is your belonging?"

"My belonging?"

This unexpected question made Xia Li confused for a while. He thought about it and didn't figure out the answer to this question.

This evil dragon's brain circuit is really strange.

"I'm not a thing, how can I belong to anything."

After saying that, Xia Li's face paused again.

"...Not right."

"Hey? Huh?"

Lucia looked puzzled.

Damn.

Xia Li sighed in his heart.

I was almost confused by this evil dragon.

If it weren't for the fact that the dragon's eyes were particularly pure, Xia Li would have doubted whether he was blown away by her.

"People cannot be considered 'things'. There are no slaves in our country. Everyone belongs to himself, so there is no belonging."

"... In that case, it is legal to rob people."

"It is not legal to rob people either!"

"Oh, then don't rob."

Xia Li was almost mad at the stupid dragon's strange brain circuit.

However, he achieved his goal today.

Lucia understood the most basic rules of this world and was willing to accept them.

This is an important step for the dragon to enter society.
