"Brother Ding Ning, look at the Meng Linglong my father brought me. It's so beautiful!"
Pikachu handed the toy to Ding Ning as if he was presenting a treasure. He was waiting for Ding Ning to be amazed.
"Meng Linglong? Isn't it just a kaleidoscope? "
Ding Ning took the so-called Meng Linglong and looked at it in confusion. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He thought it was something rare. It turned out to be a few long mirrors with edges covered with cooked copper. A few broken petals were placed inside. With a slight turn, the broken petals would move. Through the reflection of the mirror, various three-dimensional patterns would appear. On Earth, it was called a kaleidoscope. It was something only children played with. However, there was no paper here, so they could only use broken petals as a substitute.
"What kaleidoscope? This is a Drunken Linglong. It's a very precious thing. My father spent a lot of money to get it."
Pikachu saw that Ding Ning was not shocked when he didn't get the expected effect. Instead, he looked disdainful. He immediately muttered in dissatisfaction.
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it seriously. Ding Ning's heart was moved. What was so rare about this kaleidoscope? Why did he spend a lot of money to get it?
Wasn't it just made of mirrors, cooked copper, and broken petals? What valuable thing could it have?
No, no, it was a mirror. Ding Ning suddenly remembered that he had never found a mirror here in the one and a half months he had been here. He thought that the Dragon Clan didn't have the habit of looking in the mirror. Now it seemed that this was not the case. It wasn't that the Dragon Clan didn't care about appearance, but that the Dragon Clan didn't know how to make mirrors. That was why they thought this kaleidoscope was precious.
Well, the Dragon Clan had always been visual creatures. They liked shiny things the most. No wonder they spent a lot of money to buy this kaleidoscope made of a few broken mirrors.
After thinking through this, Ding Ning slightly raised the corner of his mouth. It seemed that there was a lot to be done here. Maybe it was not impossible to get a gold mine.
During this period of time, Ding Ning had learned very clearly that the nearby Dragon Valley was a natural rich mine of gold. The gold was worthless in the eyes of the Dragon Tribe, just like the stones in the eyes of the people on Earth. The Dragon Tribe only felt that the palaces built as building materials were very beautiful, and the Dragon Tribe was very interested in all shiny things, so they built the Dragon Valley here.
But for Ding Ning, the gold that the Dragon Clan did not care about was a huge fortune for him. He had thought about stealing some gold, but the guards of the Dragon Clan were very strict. It was not that they thought the gold was valuable, but they regarded the gold as the basic material to build a sentry post, so he did not dare to act rashly. After all, the guards guarding the periphery of the Dragon Palace were not familiar with him.
"Pikachu, can you find quartz sand, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, boric acid, and silver powder?"
Ding Ning asked with a smile like a wolf woman who kidnapped Little Red Riding Hood.
Pikachu looked confused and asked childishly, "What are quartz sand, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, and boric acid? There are silver powder, but there are many silver mountains in the Silver Dragon Valley."
Ding Ning was sweating like a waterfall. Yes, it was easy for people with a little knowledge of chemistry to find quartz sand, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, and boric acid. But this continent was obviously a world of high martial arts, and its technology and civilization were quite backward. How could it know these things?
But he knew that the mineral resources of this alien continent were many times richer than those of other regions. These very common raw materials must be there, but Pikachu did not know them.
Immediately, Pikachu stretched out his finger and explained while gesturing on the ground. However, after a long time, Pikachu still looked confused. Apart from providing a clue that there was a mine rich in limestone nearby, he did not know anything else, which gave Ding Ning a headache.
"Brother Ding Ning, I don't know what you are talking about, but we can ask Director Long Ma 'er!"
Pikachu felt very ashamed that she did not understand what Brother Ding Ning was talking about. She looked at Ding Ning with big admiring eyes and proposed actively.
"Yes, why didn't I think of it? Pikachu is the smartest!"
Ding Ning clapped in surprise and did not forget to praise Pikachu, which made Pikachu narrow her big eyes happily.
Long Ma 'er used to be the leader of Pipi Lu's guards. He fought bravely on the battlefield, saved Pipi Lu's life and blocked a knife for him, but he was disabled and retired.
Pipi Lu was grateful for his loyalty and life-saving grace, so he left him in the palace as the logistics chief, responsible for all the daily expenses and purchasing matters of the palace. This was a lucrative and lucrative job, which also showed his position in Pipi Lu's mind.
This old guy was more than 1,500 years old. Because of his special status, he had a high status and did not need to manage the harem by himself. He had a lot of time, and his favorite hobbies were food and wine. During this time, Ding Ning intended to make friends with him and deliberately brewed some good wine to get close to him. Under his deliberate friendship, the two of them were now so close that they almost wore the same pair of pants.
Ding Ning immediately took Pikachu to find Long Ma 'er and told him what he wanted. Sure enough, the experienced and knowledgeable Long Ma' er was not comparable to Pikachu's knowledge. Although some things were called differently, when Ding Ning described their appearance and characteristics, Long Ma 'er immediately understood what they were. He patted his chest and promised that he would get them for him in two days at most.
Those things were not valuable, so Long Ma 'er was naturally happy to do Ding Ning a favor. What a joke, he was the God of Cookery. If he did not have a good relationship with him, how could he eat the food he made? Of course, there was also the good wine that he could not stop drinking.
Ding Ning was also a generous person, so he naturally would not treat him unfairly. Before leaving, he took out a dozen jars of good wine from the water space and threw them to him. Long Ma 'er was so happy that he could not close his mouth.
He had already discovered that on this continent, storage rings seemed to be a common item. Every giant dragon had several storage rings on them, so he could openly use the water space.
Fortunately, his medicine spirit ring seemed to be different from other people's storage rings. The storage rings of the Dragon Palace guards had no secrets in the eyes of the strong, but until now, no one could see through his medicine spirit ring and only treated it as a normal storage ring. Otherwise, the matter of him stealing pigs would be exposed.
"Brother Ding Ning, what do you want those things for?"
Once they left Long Ma 'er's room, Pikachu could not help but ask.
"For you to make Meng Ling Long, a lot of Meng Ling Long!"
Ding Ning stroked Pikachu's little head and said with a smile.
During this period of time, whenever Pikachu was with him, she would transform into her human form. At first, Ding Ning was not used to it. After all, a flat-chested little girl with two horns on her head looked too strange. But thinking about it, it was better than dealing with a meter long giant dragon, so he just let it be.
The dragon race could not transform before they reached adulthood, but Pikachu was an exception. Her talent was very good, and the density of her bloodline was very high. She could change her appearance at will. Although she could not maintain it for long each time, it made Ding Ning, who was homesick, feel a little comforted.
"Meng Ling Long? That's great, Brother Ding Ning, I want a very very big Meng Ling Long. Father's is too small! "
Pikachu's big eyes curved into a crescent shape. Ever since Ding Ning made those delicacies, he had completely conquered her. In her eyes, Ding Ning was omnipotent. She did not have the slightest doubt that he could make a Meng Ling Long, so she immediately raised her request.
That's right, the Meng Ling Long that humans could play with was definitely too small in Pikachu's eyes. Every time, she could only condense her pupils into a dot to appreciate the unpredictable beautiful patterns in the kaleidoscope!
"No problem. When the time comes, I will install a big mirror in your bedroom so that you can see your beautiful self every day."
Ding Ning vowed solemnly. He wanted to show his value through Pikachu's mouth and let Pipi Lu know that just the delicacies alone might not be able to stop the killing intent in the heart of a dragon king who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
The human race seemed to be an extremely taboo topic in this foreign race continent. He took advantage of Long Ma Er's drunken state to get information from him. The result proved that even Long Ma Er, who was experienced and knowledgeable, had never heard of the human race. It seemed that only the higher-ups of the dragon race knew of the existence of the human race.
Ding Ning had to figure out what was going on from Pipi Lu so that he could find a way to return to the earth. Therefore, he had to show that he could be used as much as possible.
"That's what happened. I don't think he has any malice or threat. Moreover, his cooking skills are really good, so I let him stay and didn't let Long Ma Er tell you. I wanted to wait for you to come back and make a decision."
In the bedroom of Pipi Lu and his wife, Lu Xixi told in detail what had happened since Ding Ning appeared and looked at Pipi Lu, who had a serious expression, with some worry.
After getting along with him for more than a month, she really liked Ding Ning. Not only did she not hide her cooking skills from him, but she also always maintained respect and courtesy to him.
"It's troublesome. If this matter is spread out, our dragon race will become the public enemy of all races. Although I don't know whether that legend is true or not, it is a nightmare for all races."
Pipi Lu said worriedly.
"What legend is it? Is it so serious? "
Lu Xixi's face turned pale and she asked cautiously. Pipi Lu had once mentioned the human race to her. The whole continent regarded the human race as the public enemy, but Pipi Lu had never told her what the legend was.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, thousands of races stood in great numbers. The demon race was the master of heaven and earth. Human beings were very weak at that time, but because of their extremely terrifying reproductive ability and survival ability, they were raised as food by thousands of races. But later, the weak human race gradually gathered together and began to rise. Finally, they replaced the demon race and became the master of heaven and earth. Those races who had bullied the human race were exiled to the Sunset Continent by the powerful figures of the human race. To put it bluntly, the Sunset Continent is a prison for thousands of races."
There was a trace of heaviness and indescribable complexity in Pipi Lu's eyes.
"Ah! It turns out that we are all prisoners! "
Lu Xixi exclaimed and said in a daze.
"No, no! The ancestor of our dragon race is the Ancient Azure Dragon, the mount of a powerful figure of the human race. "
Pipi Lu said with some pride and some sorrow, "So we Dragon Clan were not exiled, but guards. Our duty is to be responsible for guarding the prison of the Sunset Continent, and to strangle the best descendants of the thousands of races in the cradle."
"Ah, how could this be? Then aren't we equivalent to being imprisoned in disguise? "
Lu Xixi was shocked, but she did not feel proud or surprised because of this. Instead, she felt deeply worried.
As a princess, although she rarely cared about the affairs of the world, she also knew that the dragon race was not having an easy time now.
