Shitah licked each of his chubby fingers one by one, and then looked up at Haruz with an unsatisfied look, scaring the little prince so much that he quickly covered the honey jar at his waist. That was bought by Brando from the hunters before entering the Stained Frost Forest, although it was used a lot on the fairies.
"Do you still want it?" Brando stared at the guy and asked to draw his attention back. Shitah turned his head and nodded like he was pounding garlic, "Yes, yes!" Aloz could not help but snort in dissatisfaction when she saw this scene. This guy was really a disgrace to the dragon race. She could not believe that a proud dragon would be bought over by half a jar of honey. Half a jar of gems was more like it. The little female dragon thought angrily. She simply turned around and left, unwilling to stay here for a minute longer. If she could, she really wanted to pretend that she did not know him.
Shitah was completely unaware and just looked at Brando eagerly. His expression was naturally faked. Brando knew, but he still found it funny, "Don't look at me like that, you know what we want to know."
"… Well, those guys ran away from the other end. That tunnel leads to an exit outside. I can point it out for you." Shitah pretended to think for a moment, and then his memory seemed to be restored by half a jar of honey before he answered slowly.
Brando glanced at the direction he pointed, but did not change his expression. Instead, he asked, "You must be very familiar with this place. After all, you have lived here since the Year of the Venomous Spider. More than a hundred years is enough for you to figure out every passage under this glacier."
"How do you know?" The little fat dragon opened his mouth wide and looked at Brando, dumbfounded.
"Because of the documents, you fool!" Aloz heard the sound coming from the entrance of the cave. She turned around and reminded him in annoyance, "Humans like to record all kinds of strange things on perishable paper, no matter how big or small they are. You don't think that if you rob them of their food, they'll be okay with it, do you?"
Brando nodded and replied slowly, "Before coming here, I've borrowed the history of the Manoweir region from Kurkel's archives. The first time you appeared was during the Year of the Venomous Spider. You plundered a convoy transporting flour."
"Wait, why did you rob the convoy that was transporting flour?" The little female dragon widened her golden eyes in confusion and asked while gnashing her teeth, "Are you going to bake your own bread? Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"
Shitah lowered her head and blushed. "… I thought it was white sugar."
"Enough!" Aloz shouted, "Get lost, don't talk to me again, I want the patriarch to expel you from the clan!" After saying that, she angrily ran out. Brando looked at her terrifying appearance and was afraid that this little female dragon would not be able to hold herself back and kill Shitah.
When he saw Aloz running out, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to ask, "So am I right?"
"Almost." Shitah replied weakly.
"What's wrong?" Brando looked at him and could not help but be a little curious. "The dragon clan doesn't restrict you much, does it?"
"It's okay." Shitah suddenly became a little vigilant and glanced at Brando with his pair of small but bright blue eyes on his chubby face. "Hmph, cunning human, don't think you can get any useful information out of me even if you tell me these useless things. What do you want to know?"
"Not as cunning as you." Brando thought to himself, this guy's honest appearance is definitely a wonderful disguise, but in fact, only those who have dealt with him know the messy things in his head. He replied, "Since you know every passage under this glacier, you must know if there is a shortcut for us to catch up with Arreck, right?"
"Why should I tell you?" Shitah asked, rolling his eyes.
Brando had expected this reaction and was not surprised. He only turned back to the little prince and said, "Haruze, give it to me." With that, he stretched out his hand – Haruze looked at him reluctantly. This forest was not as comfortable as the palace. The honey was his favorite candy, and he would only eat a little every day. If he handed it over, there would be nothing left of the honey.
The little prince was not stupid. He looked past Brando and glared at Shitah with some dissatisfaction.
"Give it to me." Brando winked at him and insisted. "Teacher …" The little prince did not dare to disobey. He could only walk up slowly, untie the jar tied to his waist, and put it in Brando's hand with a pout.
Brando patted him on the shoulder and put a candy in his hand. This lactose was a new product of Tónigel. In this world where food was scarce, candy was a luxury that only the nobles could afford. However, it was very popular among the nobles of Erouine. The Roman lady had been eyeing this business for a long time, and Brando had helped her with a lot of ideas. After all, compared to Wohnde, the material life of modern society was much richer.
Haruze held the ball of lactose and could not help but be surprised. He had tasted this candy in Tónigel. Although he usually only got a reward on the day he practiced swordsmanship particularly well, he would never forget the taste for the rest of his life.
He carefully put the candy in his bag, and then sat back with his Lion's Tooth in satisfaction.
Of course, Shitah also saw this scene. He looked at the honey jar in Brando's hand and then looked at the little prince's actions. There was a strong light of curiosity in his eyes, but he resisted the urge to speak.
Brando saw this childish action and could not help but laugh. "How about it? A piece of information for half a jar of honey. It's not a loss for you, is it?" He suddenly felt a little startled. He felt that what he said was like those strange uncles who used lollipops to kidnap lollipops. However, he did not have a lollipop, and the little fatty in front of him was not a lollipop.
Shitah was a dragon, and a very bad one at that. Even the dragons did not like him.
"There is such a passage …" When Shitah heard Brando's condition, he could not help but reply with saliva dripping from his mouth. He was really drooling. He bared his mouth, and silver silk flowed down from the corner of his mouth. After a while, it dripped all over the ground.
This scene really made people wonder how this guy's saliva glands were so developed.
"Can you point it out for me?"
Shitah nodded vigorously with the jar of honey in Brando's hand. Brando smiled and handed over the jar of honey. "You keep your word. This is you-"
"Hmph." Shitah quickly hugged the jar and replied proudly, "You're a man of your word. You're much better than that blue guy. But I heard that you humans are extremely cunning. Why are you so stupid?"
Brando almost couldn't breathe. He coughed twice and hurriedly said in his heart, "A child's words carry no harm, a child's words carry no harm." But even so, he almost wanted to directly activate his Berserk Talent and beat this damn little fat dragon up again.
"That has nothing to do with you. Besides, this is not called stupidity. This is called honesty. I don't need to lie to a little kid like you. "He replied with gritted teeth." Shitah, can you lead the way for us? "
"No!" Shitah flatly refused, as if this sentence didn't need to go through his brain at all. Brando looked at him as if he wanted to hear this guy's reason. "Are you sure?"
"Of course! It's too troublesome. That tunnel is very long and we have to walk a very long distance. Think about it. After walking such a long way, we still have to come back later. Even if you give me seven or eight jars of honey, I won't agree. Besides — "Shitah naturally added," It's so cold outside. "
It's so cold outside!
You're a frost dragon, okay? Brando had never heard of a frost dragon being afraid of the cold in his life. Frost dragons even had the ability to control glaciers. They were born in glaciers. Legend has it that the cold was their breath. Every frozen fog on the ice field was their warm and comfortable home.
And it was such a dragon that actually told him that it was too cold outside!
Brando resisted the urge to go berserk with great difficulty. He calmed down and replied, "It's cold outside, but you're not that good inside, right?"
"Nope, I have food here." Shitah replied proudly.
"Your food can go to hell!" Brando screamed in his heart, but his face was as calm as ever. "How much food do you have? You rob those humans every once in a while, but they're getting smarter. What can you rob? Jerky? Salted fish? Or hardened rye bread? Shitah, these things you've collected are not food at all. In their eyes, they're just garbage — "
"You can ask them if you don't believe me." Brando pointed to the Cruz nobles not far away. Shitah looked back curiously. Those nobles had already received the signal from Veronica's eyes. Besides, even at this moment, Brando was not someone they dared to offend. Besides, what Brando said was not a lie. Jerky, salted fish, and hardened rye bread. These things were only sought after by the poor. Nobles — even the smallest of nobles — would not touch these things.
So they nodded in unison.
Shitah's eyes widened, and his blue eyes were sparkling. "Really? There's something more delicious than these things … Huhuhu. "
As he spoke, his saliva flowed out. Brendel did not know how to describe the Dragon, because its saliva was actually dripping onto his black noble's coat. He resisted the urge to send the damned Dragon flying with his sword and nodded: "Of course, you can't just rob and rob here for the rest of your life, right? The dragons can't agree with your values because they don't understand the true meaning of delicious food. If there's a chance, I'll take you to Nine Phoenix. It's said that they have the most exquisite food in the world. "
Shitah's eyes sparkled, as if he had been immersed in a moment in the future. But he quickly wiped his mouth and woke up. Brando saw that Shitah's eyes had regained clarity. He had to praise the dragon for being the most intelligent high-grade creature. He had completely calmed down so quickly.
Unexpectedly, Shitah rubbed his nose and said, "That's great. When are we going?"
Veronica couldn't help but cough when she heard this.
Brando took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and swallowed back the words he wanted to say. Then he said premeditatively, "Anytime, but do you want to consider leaving here with me? I promise to provide you with enough exquisite food. I guarantee you've never heard of it before. "
"Wait, hmph, you're scheming again, human!" The little fat dragon suddenly raised his head and looked at Brando with some vigilance. "But I have to eat a ton of candy every day?"
"You're a pig!" Brendel almost blurted it out, but he clenched his teeth and said, "No problem. You know, I have a very large territory, and I have many sugar workshops. I can guarantee that I can satisfy your requirements —"
"Really?" Shitah looked doubtful, but his chubby face was full of yearning.
"Pfft." Shido finally couldn't help but laugh. In her opinion, the dignified Count of Tónigel had become a sugar factory director in the eyes of this dragon. This was really too incredible. It was not until this moment that the scholar deeply understood this sentence. If you don't go out of the door, you will never know the world —
At least until now, the majesty of the dragons in this world had basically collapsed in Shido's eyes.
"Of course it's true." Brando replied snappily, "But do you understand my request? You've taken benefits from me, so you have to do things for me. You don't want me to feed you for free, do you? "
He had to remind her because this guy in front of him was not reliable at all. Of course, if he could ally with a dragon — even if it was a young dragon — it would have a profound impact on Erouine's situation. Brando raised his head and glanced at the nobles of Cruz not far away. Those guys were obviously stunned and didn't think of this for the time being. Only Veronica and he looked at each other.
The Legion Commander smiled at him.
Unexpectedly, Shitah frowned and replied impatiently, "That's why you're really stupid. Of course I understand. Isn't it just signing a contract? Hmph, I signed a contract with that damn guy, but since that guy can't fulfill the requirements of the contract, I have now decided to unilaterally terminate the contract with him. "
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Brando, "How is it, have you written the contract?"
Brando looked at this guy dumbfounded. He suddenly felt that this damn fatty was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Why did he suddenly speak so eloquently? What Wohnde's contract and what not, it seemed that even he didn't know much about it except for the Roman.
"Now … Not yet."
"Oh, that's okay, we can make a verbal contract first." When it came to food and contracts, Shitah seemed to have become shrewd and replied, "I swear in the name of the Dragon God, you can swear in the name of Martha —"
But Brando was completely confused. He stared at this little fatty who suddenly became serious and wondered if there was some kind of conspiracy. Or was there some kind of setting in the game? Did the players try to kidnap this guy in the past? While he was thinking about these messy things in his mind, he blurted out a sentence that he would regret for the rest of his life without thinking.
"Verbal contract? Do we still need to make a pinky promise or something? "
Shitah looked at Brando as if he was looking at an idiot again. The little fatty blinked his eyes as if he thought he heard wrong.
"What are you talking about, I didn't expect Big Sister to have a crush on a retarded child."
"Pfft, hahaha!"
At this moment, The Shire finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
