Chapter 218: What Do You Think?
With his hands clasped behind his back, Du Wei easily presented his back to the Dragon Prince without reservation.
At this moment, the distance between Du Wei and the Dragon Prince was less than 10 metres. With the Dragon Prince's strength, if he wanted to sneak up on Du Wei, he could easily succeed.
However, looking at Du Wei's charming demeanour, the Dragon Prince could not help but feel ashamed of his inferiority. How could he possibly do something like backstabbing?
Compared to this young Duke's demeanour, the Dragon Prince's demeanour was too vulgar. The more the Dragon Prince thought about it, the more guilty he felt. Seeing Du Wei's empty hands and the never before seen zither being destroyed because of his arrival, the Dragon Prince's heart ached even more.
The Dragon Prince could not help but give a deep bow to Du Wei. Sighing, he said: "Honorable Duke, because of my arrival, you have destroyed a zither. I feel deeply guilty … … I will take my leave now!"
This dragon was indeed not some vulgar creature. He could be considered as an anomaly among Dragons. After being fooled by Du Wei's pretentious act, the killing intent in his heart had long disappeared. At this moment, in his eyes, Du Wei's demeanour was simply too mesmerizing. For such a character to die, there would be one less in this world! If this person were to die in his hands, it would be a great blasphemy! Thinking of this, the Dragon Prince's killing intent disappeared. He had secretly decided to give up on this mission.
What Patriarch's position … … sigh, I don't care. Unfortunately, such a character is the enemy of my Dragons. Although I have let him go, he will still die in the hands of my two brothers … … What a pity! What a pity!
Thinking of this, the Dragon Prince's face turned gloomy and he turned to leave. He was a free and easy character. Even if he were to give up the position of successor, it would not matter. However, just as he was about to leave, Du Wei suddenly called out: "Honorable guest, please wait."
"What is it?" The Dragon Prince turned around to look at Du Wei.
Du Wei had a faint smile on his face. "You destroyed my good zither. Are you going to leave just like that?"
These words could be said to be extremely shameless. That zither was clearly cut in half by Du Wei's sword and thrown into the lake. As for the bullsh * t about the heart of the zither being tainted, it was all just bullsh * t, and the Dragon Prince was the one to blame.
But the more elegant the Dragon Prince was, the more he fell for it!
When it heard this, it couldn't help but feel ashamed. It couldn't help but say, "This …"
"Hmph." Du Wei seemed to be smiling. "Moreover, you're looking at me in the dark. You're full of murderous aura … I think you have other motives for coming here, right?"
The Dragon Prince was speechless. After a while, he frowned and said, "Then what should we do? I still have a lot of treasures on me, so I'll leave them here as compensation for your zither. "
After saying that, the Dragon Prince felt around in his chest and took out a longan-sized gem that was translucent. What was rare was that this gem was actually round, without a single edge. It faintly emitted a slight magic fluctuation.
"This is a Water Repelling Pearl." The Dragon Prince said in a low voice, "Two hundred years ago in the East Sea, I hunted a water-type giant tortoise and got it. This giant tortoise is the largest water-type magical beast, and an adult giant tortoise has to be at least three thousand years old to be able to produce a Water Repelling Pearl in its body. This thing separates when it enters the water. Holding the pearl, one can walk in the water like walking on flat ground. Moreover, it can strengthen or weaken the water repelling space according to the strength of the holder's magic. If your magic is strong enough, you can even walk underwater with ten thousand people. I'm not too sure about the value of this thing, but three hundred years ago, when I was traveling the world, there was a human who was willing to pay a million gold coins to buy it, but I rejected him. This thing … "
Before the Dragon Prince finished speaking, Du Wei had already sneered with a displeased face. He said indifferently, "Are you insulting me or yourself? Forget it! I originally thought that although you were eavesdropping at the side, since you could understand my zither music, you shouldn't be an ordinary person. Even if you came with ill intentions, I wouldn't take it to heart … But, I originally thought that you were someone who understood the zither! I didn't expect that you would take out such a vulgar thing to measure my zither? Humph! "
Du Wei said, as if his heart was filled with endless regret, "If it was an ordinary person, the value of my zither would not be exchanged for even ten thousand gold coins! Even if it was a million gold coins, it wouldn't enter my eyes! But to a soulmate, this zither is just an entertainment! Forget it, forget it! You can go! Take it that I, Du Wei, misjudged you and thought that you were not a vulgar thing of the world! "
The Dragon Prince was stunned. Facing Du Wei's criticism, he was not angry at all. Instead, he felt even more guilty. Looking at the Water Repelling Pearl in his hand, he couldn't help but secretly hate himself for being vulgar!
That's right! Such a precious zither, how could it be measured by such a vulgar thing? Especially when this Duke said the word "soulmate", it really made him feel like he knew him well!
Thinking back to when he was trapped on the Sacred Mountain of Dragons, every time he played, he was faced with those Dragons' warriors. How could he understand the loneliness in his heart?
At this moment, looking at Du Wei, the favorable impression in his heart became even stronger.
Suddenly, the Dragon Prince smiled lightly and let out a long sigh. With a sincere tone, he said, "Your Excellency, you are right. I have offended you!"
After saying that, the Dragon Prince casually threw the Water Repelling Pearl worth a million gold coins into the lake as if it was trash!
Then, the Dragon Prince bowed deeply again and slowly said, "Your Excellency, I won't hide it from you. This time, I did come with the intention of harming you! But now, I have changed my mind! Your elegant demeanor has deeply impressed me. Moreover, destroying your zither really makes me feel guilty. How about this, in order to express my sincerity and make up for the loss of your zither, you can tell me one thing and I will do it! "
Du Wei's face turned from anger to joy. Looking at the Dragon Prince's face, he suddenly smiled lightly and stood to the side. Patting the leather cushion on the ice tray, he said with an indescribable elegance, "It's hard to find a soulmate. It's rare to find someone who can understand my zither. Fortunately, there is wine here and the scenery is not bad. Since you are my soulmate, why don't you take a seat and have a drink … Consider this my compensation!"
Hearing this, the Dragon Prince's heart was filled with admiration. He didn't refuse and flew over lightly. Landing on the ice tray, he sat down without hesitation. Picking up Du Wei's wine bottle, he took a sip and then sighed, "Good wine. Where do I get such good wine from?"
Then, he looked at Du Wei with a face full of admiration. He couldn't help but ask, "Since you know that I came with the intention of harming you, why didn't you ask me where I came from when I promised you something? Why did I come to find trouble with you? Don't you care about these things? "
Du Wei laughed in his heart. I already know where you come from. Why ask again?
But his face was indifferent. He slowly sat down, hugging his knees and looking at the sky. He leisurely said, "You see, people in this world are like floating clouds in the sky. When the wind comes, the clouds leave. When the wind stops, the clouds stop! The clouds are also involuntary. They are like fish in the water, drifting with the current. Running around every day, they don't know that they are just trapped in a corner … Humph, they are just people in the game. You kill me, I kill you. These are just ordinary things. In this world, you kill me, I kill him. It's all to be expected. What's there to ask? "
After saying that, Du Wei suddenly turned to look at the Dragon Prince. His handsome face had a strange smile. He opened his arms and gestured. He laughed and said, "You see, I am a Duke. You and I stand here and look around. As far as the eye can see, the entire northwest is my territory! Millions of people, they are all my people! Being born in this world, no matter how glorious you are, with millions of buildings … it seems glorious … But no matter how glorious you were when you were alive, no matter how big your territory is, you can't escape death! After death, what's the use of that vast territory? What's really yours is just a small tomb, a small coffin! A palm-sized place is the place of eternal rest. So, being born in this world, fighting back and forth is only temporary. After death, everything will be empty. What's the point? It's better to enjoy life while it lasts. What's the point of caring so much? "
At this point, Du Wei laughed and took the bottle of wine from the Dragon Prince's hand. He took a sip and said with a smile, "Today, I don't care if you came to kill me or where you came from. I only treat you as a soulmate! After drinking this wine, you and I will go our separate ways. If you want to kill me in the future, feel free to do so. It doesn't matter if you kill me or I kill you. That's a matter for the future. But today, I only remember that you and I are sitting on the lake, sharing a bottle of wine … That's all. "
The Dragon Prince sighed in admiration and couldn't help but feel ashamed of his inferiority. His heart wavered. He had already eliminated the thought of killing Du Wei. Now, he was awed by Du Wei's elegance. He couldn't help but have some thoughts of helping Du Wei.
Originally, Dragons were extremely proud creatures. To be able to sit side by side with a human like Du Wei and drink from a bottle of wine was already a miracle. Seeing that the bottle of wine was almost empty, the Dragon Prince's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of determination. He suddenly stood up and slowly said, "Your Excellency, even if you didn't ask me, I would still say it. After today, you still have a month of safety. But after a month, I'm afraid a great enemy will come knocking on your door! The next person who comes won't be as easy to talk to as me! "
Du Wei laughed, "Don't worry, I, Du Wei, am not someone who can be bullied … But, I appreciate your kindness!"
The Dragon Prince shook his head again and again, "The next person who comes looking for you will definitely be my younger brother. My younger brother is not like me. He only looks at the goal and doesn't care about the means. I also hate him the most. I feel like old friends with you at first sight. Naturally, I can't watch you get killed by him … How about this, I will stay in the Northwest for the next few days … "
He took out a small crystal ball from his bosom. Not caring whether Du Wei accepted it or not, he placed it in front of Du Wei and lightly said, "Your Excellency, although you are a young genius, my younger brother is not easy to deal with. His martial arts are extremely valiant. And because of our … bloodline, he has an advantage against the magic of the continent. If you meet him, you only need to throw this crystal ball on the ground. The crystal ball will shatter and I will immediately know. At most a moment, I will appear by your side. With me around, protecting your life shouldn't be a problem. "
After saying that, the Dragon Prince had already stood up. Without waiting for Du Wei to speak, he let out a long sigh, "I have lived in a remote mountain for a hundred years. How would I know that there is such a graceful person like you on the continent? It's a pity that I can't go out often. Otherwise, I would be able to come out often and drink with you. It would be a happy thing! However, to be able to come out with such a harvest this time is already a big gain in my heart. From now on, even if I live in a remote mountain, as long as I think of your song, I won't feel lonely anymore! "
After saying that, the Dragon Prince smiled at Du Wei. Then, his body floated up into the sky and suddenly turned into a golden Megalosaurus! His wings flapped, creating a strong wind. He raised his head and let out a long howl before flying towards the north …
Du-Wei silently watched the Dragon Prince disappear into the distance. Little by little, his eyes revealed a trace of emotion.
At this moment, not far from the lake, a few figures slowly appeared in the air. It was Hussain, Vivian, and Queen Medusa. These three people were the strongest experts under Duwei's command at the moment.
Du Wei's trip was risky. Although he used a trick, he still wasn't completely confident. With these three experts lying in ambush, if they turned hostile and fought, he would be prepared.
With the strength of these three experts, as long as they didn't move and hid their whereabouts, the Dragon Prince wouldn't be able to detect them.
Hussain looked at Du Wei with a puzzled face. He frowned and said, "Why didn't you make a move? I think this Dragon Prince's heart has completely lost its hostility towards you. It was the best opportunity. If you had summoned that magical beast at that time, there was at least a 70% to 80% chance of getting rid of this Dragon Prince. "
Du Wei shook his head and sighed. He couldn't help but look up at the sky and whisper, "I was acting tough, and he … is the real cultured person! He was deceived by me and admired me in his heart. But he didn't know that I admired him even more! Compared to him, I am a vulgar person! I already couldn't bear to deceive him like this. If I had to hurt him, I would be even more unwilling. Anyway, he has already given up on killing me and gave me such a big gift before leaving … Forget it! As for that magical beast, I'll leave it to deal with the next dragon. "
After a pause, Du Wei said self-deprecatingly, "Although I'm not a good person, I still have a bottom line."
Hussain couldn't help but be in awe. He couldn't help but look at Du Wei in a new light. Who knew that in the next second, Du Wei's fox tail would be revealed. This kid rolled his eyes and looked at Hussain with a grin, "I say, my Paladin, you should know how to swim, right? I've firmly remembered the place where the Water Avoidance Pearl fell into the water! I'll have to trouble you to go down and fish it up for me! A treasure worth a million gold coins!!! "
When he said this, Hussain couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Vivian still looked as if she didn't care about Du Wei's words at all. To this naive little girl, everything Du Wei said seemed to be right and proper.
Medusa sighed faintly. Although her eyes were closed, under the sunset, she was still breathtakingly beautiful. At this moment, she shook her head and said, "Is this the human nature of you humans …"
Du Wei didn't care at all. He looked at Medusa and suddenly smiled, "Miss Nicole, that day I promised to bring you to understand human nature and bring you out of the canyon. But until today, I haven't had the time to teach you anything. Since I have time today, I'll teach you a wisdom that works every time!"
"What?" Medusa opened her mouth and asked.
Du Wei smiled and then said solemnly, "Don't act pretentious! If you act pretentious, you'll be struck by lightning! Don't pretend to be pure, or you'll get beaten up! "
Then he paused and said lightly, "These words are a bit crude, but the words are crude and the logic is not crude! All along, those who act pretentious and pure will not have a good ending. "
Medusa was silent. Looking at the expression on her face, it was unknown whether she was speechless because of Du Wei or she really understood something.
Vivian suddenly couldn't help but ask curiously, "Pretentious … What does it mean?"
After all, she was a girl. She was embarrassed to say such vulgar words like pretentious.
Du Wei smiled and touched his chin. Like a big bad wolf looking at Little Red Riding Hood, his eyes rolled and he smiled, "My baby, this kind of thing, you don't need to know … If you want to know, I'll teach you in private when I have time."
How could the naive Vivian know the dirty thoughts in Du Wei's heart? Instead, she smiled sweetly and nodded.
Hussain said coldly, "Okay, don't talk nonsense. Now you have one more month to prepare. Do you have any ideas on how to deal with the next dragon? "
Du Wei smiled, "What do you think?"
