GOR Chapter 97: Dragons' Cave (Part 1)
"Did you see it?" It was unknown when the Old Magician had appeared behind Du Wei. His voice was bitter. "I saw those things 200 years ago. They are here. "
"You and Saimel came here before?" Du Wei smiled bitterly. "200 years ago?"
"Yes, I came here 200 years ago. I came here to find Aragon's legacy. Unfortunately, at that time, I had not found the prophecy. I was unable to open the treasure left behind by Aragon. So, I returned empty-handed. " The Old Magician whispered. "I saw those skeletons at the foot of the mountain to the north two hundred years ago."
"They … what are they?" Du Wei raised his question.
"It's the legendary race that was exiled by the gods. In ancient times, they lived together with humans on the Roland Continent. But later, because they betrayed the Gods, they were exiled all the way to the north and were driven out of the Roland Continent. They crossed the Sacred Mountain and went to the north. No one knows where the north is. The only thing they know is that it is a place of exile. The exiled races live there. The Dragons are the guardians of this place. Still, there had been those races who had attempted to 'return' since ancient times. It was a pity that they could not pass through the Divine Mountain ruled by the dragons, and could not return … Even if they could, what awaited them was the Forgotten Icy Plains with its endless terrifying storms, as well as the frigid Frozen Forest that was filled with daemonic beasts! Relying on these places, those exiled races can never return to the Roland Continent! "
After saying that, the Old Magician pointed to the foot of the mountain. "Those skeletons are some of the powerful ones from the exiled races. Some of the powerful ones tried to rely on their own strength to pass through the barrier set up by the Gods. However, they all failed and were killed by the Dragons under the Sacred Mountain."
Du Wei's eyes flashed with doubt. "How do you know all this?"
"The chief of the Dragons told me." The Old Magician smiled. "I came here two hundred years ago … The patriarch here is a very complicated guy. You will understand when you see him."
•
On the evening of the third day, they finally arrived at the top of the mountain.
At the top of the Divine Mountain was a huge cave. From Du Wei's point of view, this cave looked like a beehive. The cave had seven or eight entrances, from which came the faint roar of a dragon. Above him, a group of wyverns circled back and forth – they were like sentinels.
A dragon's vision and hearing were far superior to other creatures. On this flat ice field, they could even clearly see the movements on the ground more than ten miles away!
The leader of the sentinels, the huge black dragon, was getting impatient. It growled over everyone's heads. "You're too slow! The patriarch is waiting for you! "
As it spoke, it pointed at the largest cave entrance with one of its claws. "Go in! But don't run around! "
The cave was huge! Super big!
This was Du Wei's first impression. The top of this iron mountain seemed to have been hollowed out. As they walked in, they could faintly feel gusts of wind blowing out from the huge cave.
After walking into the cave, they found that it was not dark inside. On the contrary, there were balls of golden light illuminating the cave.
The walls of this cave were inlaid with all kinds of treasures! Gold, colorful gems, all kinds of shiny things were emitting brilliant rays of light!
Du Wei felt strange. The Old Magician pulled him tightly and led everyone into the cave.
The cave was very deep and the ground was hard. However, it was not cold. After entering the cave, they saw a huge iron door in front of them! At the door was a cross winch. The chain on it was unknown what material it was made of, but it was faintly black.
Beside the iron door, there was a huge black dragon lying on the ground, snoring. As the Megalosaurus opened and closed its mouth, the snoring sounds it made were like thunder, bringing with it strong gusts of wind.
The Old Magician coughed and shouted, "A friend of the humans is here to seek an audience with the patriarch of the Dragons!"
The dragon did not respond.
The Old Magician coughed and said, "Great patriarch of the Dragons, an old friend of the humans is here to seek an audience with you!"
The dragon still did not respond.
The Old Magician grew angry. He strode over and stood beside the dragon's mouth. His height was only as big as the dragon's head. The Old Magician pulled out his magic wand and gently tapped the dragon's nose. He said in a deep voice, "We haven't met for 200 years. Are you still so sleepy?"
A faint black stream of air flowed into the nose of the Megalosaurus. The sleeping dragon suddenly twisted and opened its mouth. Then, it sneezed!
Roar!
This roar almost deafened Du Wei's ears! The strong wind even blew away the Old Magician's hat.
"Who is it! Wake me up! " The Megalosaurus shook its head and opened its eyes. Its yellow eyes stared at the Old Magician. Its eyes rolled a few times. Finally, the dragon's voice became much more amiable. "You? You are … "
"I am a human, a friend of yours. I am here to seek an audience with the great patriarch of the Dragons."
The dragon was finally fully awake. Its huge body stood up and looked at the tiny Old Magician in front of it. It snorted and suddenly shouted, "I remember you! I recognize you! You came here once before! "
"Yes." The Old Magician tidied up his hair. "Honorable Guard Captain, please open the door and let me in to seek an audience with your patriarch."
"I don't like you." The Megalosaurus roared. "I hate being woken up from my sleep!"
"But I have an urgent matter." The Old Magician shrugged his shoulders. "Moreover, I have a contract with you Dragons. I have the right to seek an audience with your patriarch."
"Well …" The Megalosaurus muttered. "Then, according to tradition, you have to go through me first!"
After saying that, the Megalosaurus stood up. It spread its wings and bared its teeth … This expression, it was probably grinning.
Could it be that they had to fight first?
Hussain had quietly stood behind the Old Magician. If they wanted to fight, this cave was not a suitable place for mages to fight. And Knight, who was the strongest in close combat in the team, naturally had to bear the brunt of this dragon.
However, the Old Magician turned around and smiled at him. He waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to fight. Then the Old Magician looked at the Megalosaurus in front of him. "So, the same old rules? Honorable Guard Captain? "
"Yes! As long as you can convince me with your wisdom, I will open the door! "The Megalosaurus roared." The winner can go in! The loser can stay outside! "
Du Wei was stunned. He glanced at the Old Magician. The Old Magician was also looking at him. "Do you understand? It's a battle of wits! This Megalosaurus is the Guard Captain of the Dragons. It has been the number one warrior of the Dragons since 700 years ago! But now it is not pursuing strength, but wisdom … "
As he said that, the Old Magician winked at Du Wei.
Sure enough, the Megalosaurus immediately roared proudly. "Yes! I am already the number one warrior of the Dragons! What I want now is the title of the number one sage of the Dragons! Set the question! Unless you can stump me, don't even think about going in! "
Compete with a dragon … in wisdom?!
Du Wei was stunned.
The Old Magician had already turned around and pulled Du Wei over. Then he gave him a push and smiled. "I know you are a very smart guy, so now you have to rely on yourself! This competition is best of three. As long as we can beat it twice, it will be fine. Otherwise, don't even think about going in. "
Du Wei sighed. "Do we really have to do this?"
The Megalosaurus answered first. It raised its head and roared proudly. "This is my rule!"
"Then, okay." Du Wei thought for a moment and nodded.
Compete with a Megalosaurus in wisdom …
Dragons were recognized as higher creatures, even higher than humans – although humans didn't think so.
The Dragon Race had a long lifespan, possessed high intelligence, and possessed powerful strength. Their long lifespan coupled with their intelligence allowed them to learn for a longer period of time than humans … Theoretically speaking, dragons were indeed superior to humans in terms of individual strength.
But this was just a theory.
"So, what are the rules of this competition?" Du Wei walked in front of the Megalosaurus and smiled.
"Very simple, as long as your question can stump me." The Megalosaurus smiled proudly. "But I have to remind you, don't underestimate my wisdom! I have a full understanding of the wisdom of you humans! The Patriarch had been to the human world and learned about your human civilization. He had taught me a lot of things! Humans, don't try to use your human tricks to deceive me! "
"Any questions?" Du Wei blinked.
"Any questions!" The Megalosaurus nodded affirmatively.
"All right." Du Wei smiled maliciously. "Then, I'll give you the question."
Gently coughing, Du Wei smiled faintly: "My question is like this. This is a very, very simple math problem: Let's say, there is a row of houses here. The first house has one person, the second house has two people, the third house has three people, the fourth house has four people … … So on and so forth, every house behind the house will have one more person than the house in front of it! My question is, when we count to the thousandth house, how many people are there in total in these thousand houses? "
…
…
"… … …"
