"It is my honor, Lord Xiluo!" Depu straightened and spoke with a hint of pride.
"You did splendidly this time. As your Dragon Lord, I should naturally reward you."
Xiluo nodded, generously picked out five gold coins from the pile, and handed them over.
"Thank you for your generosity!" Depu looked slightly surprised as he accepted them.
"Don't look so surprised. Although I'm one of the Chromatic Dragons and have something of an obsession with gold in my bones, I never mistreat talented people! Five gold coins aren't much compared to what you've earned me.
Later, I'll also teach you six first-tier spells, three second-tier spells, or one third-tier spell. The choice is yours."
Xiluo added.
Only at the mention of spells did some excitement appear on Depu's face.
Xiluo grabbed a handful of gold coins and raised them into the air, letting them slip through his claws onto the ground as he listened to their clear clinking.
Suddenly, he spoke again.
"Depu, I'm actually quite curious about you Descenders.
I've heard before that your world seems to have some very powerful weapons.
You should still be able to manufacture those weapons after coming to our world, shouldn't you? It's been ten years, so why haven't I heard anything about powerful weapons?
What's going on?"
"Because the rules are different.
Gunpowder is extremely important in our world, but its power is greatly reduced here.
Without it, almost everything that comes afterward becomes impossible."
Depu shook his head, seemingly somewhat regretful.
"Different rules..."
Xiluo murmured, "Since the rules are different, can you still use the spells you learn here back in your world?"
"We can, but their power is also greatly reduced.
Some experts have tested it. They're only a tenth as powerful as they are in this world.
