Chapter 8, Nina

Gordon understands this point very well

Carrying two giant rat tails, he dragged them all the way to a nearby lava pool and then set them down

Is the talent [Charge] (Proficient) activated: Yes / No

As for the active volcanoes most favored by the Red Dragon, and the frostbitten lands of the White Dragon, there is certainly none here

Mr. Gerdon, how may I assist you

The corpse of the giant rat was visibly burning, with its fur charred and its flesh contracted, just before it began to melt

Then, Gedon followed the methods from the memory of the Dragon's legacy to concoct the raw materials before him

You may call me Gedun

She attempted to address a black dragon using the etiquette taught by Grandma Orlan, but before she could finish speaking, her stomach let out an ungracious growl

Even if there is, it is merely a brief stop, with no intention of establishing a nest

Except for the fact that the body size of the rat is slightly smaller than that of the Gerdon, the body sizes of the other two giant rats are both larger than that of the Gerdon

... ...

Then let's talk while we eat

It is not that Nina does not recognize the metallic dragons, but rather that, for Nina, the intimidation posed by the evil dragons is naturally far greater than that of the metallic dragons within the lawful alignment.

The countdown began silently, as two dark golden vertical pupils stared unblinkingly at the changes of the giant rat within the lava pool

Then they began to feast heartily

"Very well, Mr. Gordon"

Gordon still does not understand how this system determines that it is a "talent"

Nina remembers the names of those evil dragons are also quite simple

Nina felt a sense of relief in her heart upon hearing the black dragon before her introduce itself

After digesting this fragment that has entered my mind

However, the vocal cords of the lava dragon are wide and thick, yet relatively narrow, which is also the reason why its voice has a somewhat prolonged and piercing quality at the end

The experience left him feeling quite at ease, as if his frail and heavy body had suddenly become light, with much less resistance in the air, as if a swift wind were empowering every scale beneath his skin

Therefore, if one wishes to find the Five-Colored Evil Dragon in this vicinity, it seems that one can only try the Suriel Desert to the west of Kalando.

And who, at present, knows more about the environment than this well-behaved dragonborn girl before us

It is evident that the first-level talent shards can no longer allow for further investment in [Charge]

During this meal, Nina ate to her heart's content, and her little belly was visibly swollen

The sound is not loud; it is precisely the original voice of Gedon, carrying a hint of the innocence of a newly hatched dragon.

In stark contrast to the tender cries emitted by ordinary hatchlings, anyone who hears this sound would never associate it with a newly born hatchling.

Moreover, the previous "Magma Eruption" had already consumed a considerable amount of Gerdon's stamina. Although he does not feel hungry now, he also senses that his stomach is empty

Memories are also particularly profound

It is evident that the impact this time is greater than Gerdon had imagined, to the extent that the dragonborn girl beside him began to curiously scrutinize the somewhat peculiar behavior of the "black dragon" before her

These are all things that Nina occasionally learned from the loud conversations of adventurers or merchants in the Iron Furnace Tavern

After all, these little creatures that chirp and make noise are, in the eyes of the true dragon, no different from the cattle and horses that are usually consumed; they are merely food.

He then walked straight to Nina's back, under her curious gaze. He picked up the two dead rodents lying there and placed them in front of her

Nina ... ... My name is Nina

His dark golden vertical pupils remained unblinking as he gazed at the dragonkin girl in front of him, who was slightly blushing.

Let its speed be three times higher than the normal running state in a short period of time. If it can maintain this speed, it believes that it does not need to hide around the corner to ambush these giant rat knights.

Nina, who is lacking in knowledge, has a limited understanding of dragons, knowing only their colors and being familiar only with evil dragons

so that when he moves, the posture of his lower limbs and arms unconsciously assumes the best stance for a "charge"

However, he does not need to wait too long for this

Gordon also began to gradually understand the world around him through Nina's comfortable and satisfying narration

However, the general idea is the same

She is not averse to the corpses of rodents, even though these creatures are sewer dwellers

His consciousness gently touched the "is" in the information bar, and soon the second-tier talent fragment was fully read and loaded.

Buzzing, just like an echo

He adjusted his slightly open wings and looked towards the dragonborn girl who was squatting in front of him, taller than himself by a head

However, Gedun is not worried about not being able to finish the food, as the appetite of the hatchling is quite terrifying, especially shortly after its birth, when it needs to consume a large amount of nutrients to compensate for the energy expended during its first slumber

However, the skills, experiences, and insights gained from this time's "Charge" are more abundant, exquisite, and seasoned than the last time.

What is your name

The former is "onomatopoeia," while the latter is this "charge"

Then, please wait a moment

In his talent list, the original entry-level "Charge" (1/15) has also been replaced with "Charge (Proficient)" (1/8)

Nina did not hesitate either; her stomach had already been protesting for two days for a sumptuous and fresh feast

One is a main course, and the other is merely a dessert.

One is magma with temperatures exceeding one thousand degrees Celsius, while the other is a carefully crafted hot pot broth

She had no reason to refuse; even without any added seasoning, it was still delicious and sweet in her mouth

Nina was instantly embarrassed, her face turning red, and she was at a loss for words

Then, from an inconspicuous indentation on the left side of the sewer grate, two of the initially hidden rodent corpses were dragged out

Perhaps in her eyes, the "Black Dragon" saved from the hands of the rat people

Nina squatted in front, obediently.

Like a cheetah that is always poised to hunt, crouching and ready to spring into action

One cannot help but wonder what kind of experience it is after mastering the "Charge" skill

In his mind, numerous memories resurfaced, specifically those regarding the multiple training sessions of the ratman, known as [Charge].

He placed it back in front of Nina and then spoke slowly.

In the Legacy of the Dragon, the ratfolk can become the favored servants of the true dragons, as well as a delightful appetizer for the true dragons during their moments of boredom

It is also the only two talents in his entire list of talents that do not have a suffix, represented by the `` + '' sign at the end.

Nina

Otherwise, this young dragon will not survive long in this world, either being sent to the arena or once again becoming a specimen on the wizard's workbench

His charging posture resembles that of Tieshan Kao, rather than the kind of visual impression associated with the dragon cart known to Gerdon in his previous life

He has already made a tentative attempt at the "Charge" just now

The black one is the Black Dragon, the white one is the White Dragon, and so on.

This loading, like the first time, is the same

... ...

However, the immediate priority is to activate this talent first

Gadon lifted one and then twisted off the heads of the two giant rats, casually discarding them into the lava pool to join their companions who were left with nothing but bones

Nina's gaze was very cautious, as if she feared that looking one more time would disturb the true dragon in front of her, which was striking a peculiar pose

The aroma of roasted meat once again permeated the sewer pipes, as Godon divided a giant rat's hind leg for the dragonborn girl in front of him, who was nearly drooling.

However, the fear in her eyes had diminished significantly, replaced instead by a greater sense of curiosity

Kalando, Blanché, the Great Surreal Desert

However, these monsters were clearly healthy in their lifetime, especially for Nina, who had gone through the leftovers repeatedly.

Since he has come to this world, the first thing he must do is to understand the surrounding environment

This is a more powerful "Charge" than the entry-level stage; it is referred to as a talent, but it actually resembles a skill

A visage capable of communication, after all, Nina could hear clearly when Gerdon was mimicking sounds just now

It is said that travelers have discovered traces of blue dragons, footprints, and the mischief left by the blue dragon in the desert oasis

Nina's eyes could barely see the cement ground filled with dark green ferns, and she did not dare to meet the black dragon's gaze, responding honestly with a trembling voice

Consuming rats does not even qualify as a psychological disorder; in the face of hunger, these are simply not issues at all

The imitation of the voices of those children her age was so vivid and lifelike that, had it not been for the presence of Gerdon right before her, she would have never believed that such a sound could come from a black dragon

It must be said that in the inherited memories of the Lava Dragon, the method of consuming meat is quite similar to the cooking style that Godon favored most in his previous life—hot pot

The entire oasis's water source has been rendered murky by the blue dragon's sewage magic, emitting a foul odor, making it undrinkable even for livestock

Of course, more so here, the sewer.

It seems somewhat different from what Grandma Orlan said; it is not that the irritable black dragon is always eager to devour human flesh.

Gordon discovered that his body had unconsciously developed muscle memory

Gordon did not speak either

However, he had just used the blink of an eye to rush out several dozen meters with the force of a strong wind, directly using his side-turned arm and folded dragon wings to knock the ratman and the giant rat against the iron fence

However, there are no dense forests like Senhai near Kalandu and Blanché, nor are there dark and eerie swamps, making it difficult to find black dragons and green dragons

Gordon inquired about the name of the young girl before him, naturally with his own intentions in mind

Unfortunately, it can only be maintained for a maximum of 10 seconds, and if it stops midway, the remaining time cannot be accumulated and it will automatically enter a cooling state

Four rodent corpses, two giant rats and two ratmen

Gadon sensed the changes within his body and also noticed the cautious gaze of the dragonborn girl observing him. He then decided to walk up to the dragonborn girl who was squatting on the ground.

All ingredients are placed into boiling liquid for blanching

Unfortunately, even when crouching, Godon can only slightly tilt his head upward to meet the gaze of the dragonborn girl
