"Ga! What furball bounty? I can't find it at all! "
In a corridor of the academy, a Skeleton Dragon was pasting a piece of leather on the wall.
There was a furry ball drawn on it, and a few lines of words were written below it: "Furball, this is a horrible creature that killed the hierarch. It can change into many colors, but its form remains the same. Its fur has great power, and it twisted the hierarch's head off while he was still alive. Whoever catches it will be heavily rewarded!"
"Why are you still pasting these things?" Beside it, another Skeleton Dragon said, "Although there are many rewards, it's impossible to catch this one. It's said that a dragon saw it once, but the furball disappeared right in front of him."
"A new hierarch came recently, and he insisted that I put these things up. I can't do anything about it," the Skeleton Dragon said. "I hope we can catch this horrible creature soon, but it seems that other than the hierarch, no other dragons have been killed."
"Have you heard? The hierarch is actually not alive! " Suddenly, a third Skeleton Dragon stood behind them and said, "Many dragons saw the hierarch's head … I'm leaving."
It turned and left before it finished its sentence.
"Why did you stop halfway?" The two Skeleton Dragons looked at the back of the dragon in confusion.
"Forget it. Let's get ready. We'll be exploring the Dark Cloud Sea soon." "You're right, ga …"
… …
"Now, let me explain. This sticky ball has a strange temperament …" In a room, a group of Skeleton Dragons was sitting on the ground, and a dragon was teaching them on a platform.
Most of the Skeletal Dragons sitting below were holding a metal rod. They looked at the rod occasionally. They listened to the dragon above.
"Look at the sticky balls. There are many kinds of them, and some are like … "
"Question!" Suddenly, a Skeleton Dragon below said, "This sticky ball, can it think?"
"Good question, apprentice," the Skeleton Dragon on the platform said. The White Skeleton Dragon standing on the platform said, "The creator told us that everything alive in the world has the ability to think."
"But …" the dragon below said, "I've observed these sticky balls for a long time. They can't do anything except for some simple reactions …"
"But you can't say that they can't think." The dragon on the platform said, "Every dragon should know that we have a 'brain', so we can 'think'. In their cores, there is an energy activity that is extremely similar to our brain. "
"But why do they look so …"
"Because my perception is limited," the White Skeleton Dragon shouted. "Bring the Fool in!"
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and two guards walked in with a Skeleton Dragon.
The White Skeleton Dragon's eyes and hands were tied, but even when the guards released it, it would only sway around in place as if it did not know what was going on.
The White Skeleton Dragons below looked at the dragon curiously. The White Skeleton Dragon on the platform said, "This is the pitiful dragon that questioned its creator last time. It was punished by its creator. Its memory, its vision. Its hearing and sense of smell are all damaged! " The White Skeleton Dragon on the platform grabbed the dragon and pinched its face. "Its current sensory ability is similar to that of No. 9,000 sticky ball, and its behavior is exactly the same. It only knows how to wander around and do some simple things. It can only remember things for a short period of time. But you can't say that it can't think, because the only part of its brain that isn't damaged is the area used for thinking! It's just that under many restrictions, it can't be seen that it has the ability to think. Of course, its ability to think is not very high. "
"Caw, caw, caw!" The White Skeleton Dragons below all put on an expression of understanding.
The dragon on the platform nodded and said, "Very good. Take away the idiot that questioned its creator. Let's continue."
"Caw? What? Don't caw! "The dragon that asked the question was dragged out by two guards.
"Next, we'll welcome a new apprentice." The dragon on the platform watched the guards leave and said, "Now, let's welcome it."
A White Skeleton Dragon wearing strange armor walked in through the door.
"This is our new apprentice. Its name is … Spy."
The White Skeleton Dragons below all started to discuss. "What kind of name is that?" "Look at its strange armor." "It's called a shell. It must be the shell of a zombie." "Zombie? Are you crazy? "
"Shut up!" The dragon on the platform said to Spy, "Spy apprentice, just find a place to sit down."
Spy walked to a place in the room and sat down. The White Skeleton Dragon on the platform continued, "The sticky balls we talked about just now have simple reactions, but their increased ability to think will appear when they gather in large numbers. For example, when the number of rotten sticky balls exceeds 100 million, they will cooperate with the group and move in waves. They will also send out crystal waves at the same time to keep the whole group in line …"
…
These White Skeleton Dragons were really interesting. They really did teach a lot of things, although not all of them were good.
They taught almost everything, including fighting, cooking, dancing, and so on. Although they seemed to come in and out very casually, the instructor was very serious.
Lin had been observing their activities for the past few days and nights. Just as Lin thought, many dragons who had learned a lot of things had doubts about their 'creators'. To these doubtful dragons, the White Skeleton Dragons would use the most direct method — capture and punish them.
The punished dragons would often appear in other classes and be used as teaching materials, just like before.
Lin felt that sooner or later, something would go wrong with them. But before that, something would go wrong with their Dean.
With that in mind, Spy stood up from the ground and walked out of the room.
"Spy apprentice, where are you going?"
"…" Spy didn't answer.
Entering a room was just to give Spy an 'identity'. Only by entering a room and listening to a lecture would a White Skeleton Dragon's identity be confirmed. Then, it would be able to move around the academy and enter places at will, such as … the Dean's room.
