Under the stormy sky, after Copper Dragon finished telling his riddle, he wagged his tail proudly, waiting for Garos's answer.
Garos was speechless and fell silent.
Copper Dragon is born "Riddle Dragon", but one thing that is worthy of affirmation is that when creating riddles, they will never lie due to their nature.
Its riddles give multiple hints and are not too difficult.
Garos guessed the answer.
--Luck.
Copper Dragon appeared in front of him, not because of negligence, not because there was tracking on the equipment or treasure, but because of elusive and unpredictable luck.
This result made him relieved, but he did not forget that he needed to overcome his desire and greed for treasure.
Garos blinked and looked at the Horn Ring that Copper Dragon was wearing. The scales on his neck were bulging again because of the gold coins and gems stuffed inside.
Ever since he was able to eat a magic gem, he rarely exercised in this area.
He felt that this was because he instinctively wanted to protect the treasure, so he subconsciously ignored it, but now he noticed this weakness again.
The best way to overcome fear is to face it head on.
Garos decided to grab another wave of treasures from Copper Dragon, and then when he had free time, he would face these treasures and try to eat them to sharpen his will and overcome his obsession.
At least, to the point where you can eat two magic gems at once!
This requires great willpower, even more torture than physical pain. Only Dragonkin understands how much determination and courage this requires to achieve.
the other side.
Because Garos didn't answer for a long time, Copper Dragon thought that he couldn't guess his riddle, so he spun around in the air and said the answer to himself, "Hybrid Dragon, the answer is - luck!"
Garos turned his neck.
He unhurriedly unfolded his huge dragon wings inch by inch, waved them gently, disrupting the surrounding rain, and rose into the air, at the same height as Copper Dragon, about a kilometer away from each other.
"The fool relies on luck to win, the weak relies on luck to turn over."
Garos grinned and said, "Copper Dragon, it seems that you are self-aware and know that you are a fool and a weakling."
Copper Dragon's smile froze.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems like this.
The puzzles it raises actually belittle oneself, which feels like shooting oneself in the foot, which is a bit uncomfortable.
"Why did you come to me through luck?"
Garos asked again.
Copper Dragon's fighting spirit is high, and the dragon scales on his body begin to glow slightly. This is a manifestation of Magic Energy circulating in the body. "Of course it is to defeat you, and then change your bad habits! Turn you into Good Dragon!"
Garos is a little confused and doesn't understand where Copper Dragon's confidence comes from.
His eyes fell on Copper Dragon and Horn Ring, and he became wary.
"The last time you defeated me, you relied on luck and my negligence."
"This time I will take the battle seriously, and I have gone through rigorous training and am stronger than ever."
Copper Dragon said confidently.
"Come on, let's start over and decide the outcome. This time I will let you know how powerful Metal Dragon is."
It took its time and waved its claws at Garos.
"Copper Dragon seems to be very confident. Let's fight it a few times, try it out, and then decide whether to fight, rob, or retreat directly."
Garos made a decision quickly.
His wings suddenly fluttered, and the fine scales on the wing membranes clanked like blades. The rainwater exploded into fine mist between the scales, and was evaporated by the high temperature erupted when the fine scales rubbed against each other.
His body suddenly surged, and the rainwater was squeezed out into cone-shaped white waves visible to the naked eye, and the dragon's wings dragged a long steam trail behind him.
He was unstoppable, rushing toward Copper Dragon like a shooting star with his rolling Dragon Might tempered in the dangers of the wilderness.
Copper Dragon's smile solidified.
No matter how harsh and cruel the special training under the guardianship of his parents is, how can it be compared with Garos? The intensity of his training is placed on Copper Dragon, and I'm afraid it won't be able to last a day.
Copper Dragon has indeed grown in the past six months, but Garos has grown even more.
Garos survived in the fangs of the wilderness, knowing that every breath he took could be his last, and he never slacked off. Copper Dragon's harsh special training was just a different kind of game under shelter.
Even if he doesn't have a strong body, his will, his spirit, and his perseverance far surpass Copper Dragon.
Copper Dragon finally reacted.
It hurriedly spat out the orange-red gelatinous Acid Dragon Breath, trying to slow down and prevent Garos from approaching.
Garos's figure blurred into a red lightning in the rain.
He did not charge in a straight line, but rushed left and right, moving forward at high speed in twists and turns, showing a maneuverability that made Copper Dragon jaw-dropping.
It's hard for Copper Dragon's eyes to catch up with him, and it's even harder for Dragon Breath to touch him.
The next second.
Garos rushed in front of Copper Dragon, raised his right wing high, tore through the wind and rain, and chopped it down like a guillotine.
Copper Dragon subconsciously wanted to raise his claws to defend himself, but found that his muscles froze, and fear flooded him like a tide. For a moment, Copper Dragon's mind was completely blank, and he even forgot to use his own spells and alchemy items.
The flowers in the greenhouse cannot face the warriors who have endured the wind and rain and fought in the wilderness.
"Don't hide? Are you so confident? Oh, it turns out you were scared out of your wits."
"I overestimated it."
At the last moment, Garos changed his mind and adjusted the angle. The blunt surface of the wing membrane hit Copper Dragon's neck hard, making a tooth-piercing muffled sound.
The treasures carefully stored in the layers of scales burst out like flowers.
Gold coins and gems draw bright parabolas in the rain.
Garos rolled up the dragon wings, caught them all, and stuck them between the fine scales on the wing membrane. At the same time, he quickly stretched out the dragon claws and directly snatched away Copper Dragon's Horn Ring.
When Copper Dragon came back to his senses.
Things have already happened.
Just like last time, it was once again robbed of its equipment and treasures by Garos.
The difference is that this time it is even worse.
I thought I could defeat Garos, but I was so frightened by the opponent's Dragon Might that I didn't dare to move. I froze in place like a puppet without even resisting.
"You want to turn me into Good Dragon? Copper Dragon, you're still too far gone."
Garos was playing with the Horn Ring he had just received and said to Copper Dragon.
He didn't intend to kill Copper Dragon.
The risk is too great.
Metal Dragon was born to enjoy the favor of his parents and elders, and has a life-saving trump card.
Maybe he could kill Copper Dragon before it could react, but Spell Scale's subsequent rampage to save his life would most likely kill him back.
And Garos can see it.
This Copper Dragon had no experience in the wilderness or experienced a crisis. It had just left the shelter of its parents. It was naive and stupid. It posed no danger to him at all and did not stimulate his murderous intention.
As for his parents.
The elder Metal Dragon, who belongs to the order camp, adheres to the principles in his heart and will not take action against such a Hatchling Dragon unless Garos brutally kills their children.
"Why, why is there such a big gap between us?"
Copper Dragon asked unwillingly.
Garos was silent for a few seconds, then grinned.
"It is intangible and has no substance, but it can sharpen its claws and temper its scales."
"It is silent, but it can tear apart cowardice and forge will."
"It has no beginning or end, but it can make Hatchling Dragon crawl and True Dragon soar."
"It is neither the love of parents nor the warmth of a greenhouse, but it can make you defeat at my claws here today!"
"Tell me, Copper Dragon, what is this?"
He asked rhetorically in the form of a Copper Dragon riddle.
Across from me, Copper Dragon was stunned.
The riddle of Garos is like a sharp claw, cutting through the confusion in its heart.
It looked down at the world, saw lightning gnawing at the mountain ridges like silver snakes, and saw strong winds uprooting century-old trees.
It suddenly understood that it had never faced this world directly.
No matter how difficult the puzzle given by the Dragon Father and Mother Dragon is, the answer is always in the book, but the puzzle of Garos must be written in blood and fire.
"Thank you, I understand."
Copper Dragon looked at Garos, imprinting the appearance of Hybrid Dragon deeply in his mind, and then said word by word, "Hybrid Dragon, remember my name, Deborah."
"I will come back again, stand in front of you with a different attitude, and then defeat you."
