Chapter 269 What should the book be called?
The offspring of dragons and humans, that is, dragonborns, have the aftereffect of going crazy when they reach a certain age, but the positive advantage is that the power of dragonborns will burst out in the form of a triple jump from childhood to adolescence, and even before adulthood.
For a talented dragonborn, it is not a problem to reach the seventh level before reaching adulthood.
Of course, after reaching this level, it is basically in a tight embrace with madness, like a time bomb whose countdown has been completed.
But there is another way, which is to increase the power of the Dragonborn to a certain critical point, and then use rituals, secret medicines, magic patterns and other restrictive means to prevent him from entering the seventh step.
In this way, the dragonborn can live to be over seventy years old, which is not low compared to the human lifespan, but for professionals, this lifespan is not proportional to their strength at all.
If handled well, the Dragonborn family would have at least fifty years to have a stable sixth-tier warrior.
Moreover, such powerful people can be mass-produced.
So it is not surprising that those nobles are so enthusiastic . Whether it is the dragon itself or the dragon offspring born from the dragon, for a family, it is one of the necessary things to maintain its long-term survival.
Even because of the reappearance of the giant dragon Mo Cheng, some people have begun to speculate whether the [Dragon Madness] has passed due to the long time, and the Dragonborn will not fall into madness again.
If this is the case, then Mo Cheng's value is several times higher than imagined.
Looking at the way those nobles looked at him, Mo Cheng was sure that if he hadn't demonstrated his combat achievements and strength, these guys would have wanted to capture him and tie him up in the basement as a family heirloom.
After finally exchanging a few words with the nobles who came up and sending them away, Mo Cheng found a secluded corner. He didn't want to deal with those nobles who only had the word "have a baby" in their eyes.
"It seems like you are very popular. How do you feel? You are the star of the banquet tonight."
It wasn't long before they found a quiet place when they heard a gloating voice. Mo Cheng didn't even need to turn around to know who it was. "If the protagonist you're talking about is someone who is treated like a breeding pig by a group of beautifully dressed guys, who introduce you to the women of their family, I think this protagonist can even get a real pig to do it."
Fortunately, this group of nobles came out to lead troops to fight, and were already near Castle Cotton when they received the news, so suitable female relatives were not brought with them.
Otherwise, Mo Cheng would have trouble sleeping peacefully tonight. He was afraid that any drink he picked up might be laced with a powerful aphrodisiac.
Thinking of this, Mo Cheng couldn't help but complain: "Wendisa, you didn't tell me about this situation. I thought it was just an ordinary banquet, you..."
Looking sideways, Mo Cheng couldn't help but pause, "Why...are you dressed like this?"
The sight of Wendysa in front of him wearing a dress with her hair down scared Mo Cheng.
Wendisa herself seemed unaccustomed to such light-looking clothes, and she felt very awkward. "I didn't want to wear this either, but the elders in the family said that today is Lauren Frost's banquet, and we can't embarrass ourselves in front of other families, so they forced me to wear this."
"Hell, I haven't worn this since I ran away from home. I don't even have a sword with me, and it makes me feel insecure."
"So you just listen to them?" Mo Cheng knew very well what kind of personality Wendysa had. To put it nicely, she was free and easy-going. To put it bluntly, she was in the rebellious stage where she didn't get along with her family and she hasn't passed it yet.
Logically speaking, if the Laurenfrost family wants Windissa to do something she doesn't want to do, they will probably have to face Windissa's sword first.
"I don't want to either." Wendisa spread her hands and shrugged in an unladylike manner. "But they said that if I don't wear it, I have to hand in the manuscript before 12 o'clock tonight. I mean... the manuscript has already passed the deadline three times, so I have to hand it in all at once."
It seems that the Laurenfrost family has found a way to communicate with Wendisa. Mo Cheng doesn't know how to comment on this. Anyway, with Wendisa's strength, if she really doesn't want to, no one can force her.
"Come to think of it, I saw quite a few nobles trying to get in touch with you just now."
Wendisa took two glasses of wine from the servant's tray, handed one to Mo Cheng, and drank it all in a rude manner. "I know those families. The women of marriageable age in their families are very beautiful. Aren't you tempted?"
"Moreover, those families are ancient families with a long history and strong strength. If you join their family, you can basically save thirty years of hard work."
Ignoring Wendisa's mocking expression, Mo Cheng was even more dismissive of the words of the young man who had struggled for thirty years.
"If a man wants to take things for himself in this world, why would he use his marriage as a bargaining chip?"
If you want something, you can use your brain, your hands to fight for it, or even seize it. But Mo Cheng felt that he was not so destitute as to obtain it through marriage.
Moreover, although Slyrick's blood gave him the physique of a dragon, this dragon was probably quite different from the native dragons of the continent of Kovare.
At least the "Dragon Madness" thing was not reflected in him at all.
He was even a little curious about whether he, who had Slerik's blood flowing in his body, had reproductive isolation.
"Ah, really?" I don't know how the system translated Mo Cheng's words. After hearing them, Wendisa laughed. "I was just planning to introduce Margaret to someone, but it seems that person is not interested at all."
"?"
Perhaps he knew Mo Cheng's thoughts, or perhaps it was just too uncomfortable to wear the dress. Of course, perhaps he didn't want to make the person hiding behind the pillar in the corridor wait too long.
Wendisa stood up and pulled out a person who had been eavesdropping for a long time from behind a pillar in the corridor.
"Hey, Margaret is so shy. Look, I'm wearing a dress. It looks so beautiful. Isn't it a waste if I don't let Mo Cheng see it?"
Wendisa pulled Margaret out from behind the pillar, and then pushed Margaret to Mo Cheng's side with force, and then walked away without looking back, "Okay, okay, now it's up to you guys. I'll go to the hall to find some wine."
Walking into the corridor, Wendissa glanced at the two people from time to time, watching them seem to be discussing something, and couldn't help but said in her heart: "Margaret, Auntie can only help you so far."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a giant dragon who doesn't understand the hearts of girls, and a noble girl who has been strictly trained since childhood and doesn't know how to express her affection. What kind of sparks will the two of them collide with? Ah, inspiration comes, let's go back to the room first. This time I have a hunch that I can write a manuscript that can be submitted in five days. After I finish writing it, I will smash it in the faces of those guys. I want to submit the manuscript!"
"Title, title, think of a good title."
"What should the book be called?"
