Chapter 1,390 Longdao Town

It is not difficult to imagine the consequences of starving a group of giant dragons. Anyway, don't expect the dragons to starve to death.

However, whether the dragons are really hungry or fake is open to question.

According to the biological point of view of the earth, the daily food intake of flying birds will be several times their own weight. According to this algorithm, the dragon should eat an amazing amount. In fact, it is amazing, but the giant dragon has a hibernation mechanism. It can only sleep without eating or drinking water for a long time, similar to the hibernation of some animals back home.

Moreover, the dragon's excretion volume is very small, which means that the conversion efficiency of food in the dragon's body is very high, so it does not need so much food. But according to various legends and rumors, the dragon eats an astonishing amount, and can often eat an entire village of humans, including the elderly and children, in one sitting.

However, these rumors are usually not supported by empirical evidence. If you investigate, you can often find out that it is actually a certain noble or a certain force who massacres villages under the guise of a dragon eating people.

Anyway, there is no special research on the physiological condition of giant dragons in Midi. There are only various gossips and unconfirmed rumors. Furthermore, there is no systematically organized and studied biology in Midi.

Most of the magicians who write the most about this also record the action characteristics of monsters or beasts to facilitate combat; other parts and habits are quite unclear. I just wrote it as I thought, without checking its authenticity.

These 'uncertainties' have become the difficulties that someone must overcome in the next strategy of Dragon Island.

Amid vague uncertainty about the future, Lin followed the fleet to the end of the trip, Longdao Town.

In fact, this town has no name, and it is not even a qualified long-term settlement. The function here is to allow the craftsmen who come to work on Long Island to have a place to live for a short period of time, and to have suitable people to receive the goods every time the fleet comes to transport supplies.

The dragons usually don't do the latter things themselves. There are quite a few fans of the dragon tribe in Midland. It is not a problem for the dragons to choose some people to stay on the island and serve them. If they are in a good mood or a bad mood one day, these people are like jelly beans, they just eat them. Anyway, these people are happy with it, and the dragons will certainly not have any psychological burden.

Since it is impossible to avoid people staying on Dragon Island, and it is impossible to let these people run around on Dragon Island, it is normal to establish a temporary Homo sapiens settlement. And because this town is the only non-dragon settlement on Dragon Island, people are accustomed to calling this place 'Longdao Town'.

The above is from Henry's introduction. The actual situation is similar to what William's father said, but there are still some discrepancies.

Before seeing it with his own eyes, Lin thought he would only see a bunch of slums similar to slums, and he didn't expect town planning or anything like that. But in reality, Longdao Town is not that messy and disorderly.

The most eye-catching thing is that there are several magnificent mansions inside. Even in the Midi Lord continent, in the capital of any empire, such a house is not suitable for ordinary people to live in. Not to mention on this Dragon Island where dragons are revered.

Henry, who was staying next to a certain magician and was obviously trying to win over him, noticed someone's suspicious gaze and immediately explained: "Those houses are where humanized dragons live, and other people are not qualified to live there." It's best not to even get close without permission." Henry knew that it was impossible for him to recruit this magician. But if you maintain goodwill and friendship, you may be able to use it one day.

Lin was happy to have someone explain his doubts. But this answer also raises a question. "Humanized dragons?" He couldn't help but turn his attention to the dock where the goods were being unloaded.

The highlight of this trip is of course the live livestock. Even if the commander of the Imperial Navy fleet is greedy for money, he does not dare to take the risk of messing up a serious mission and handles his own personal affairs first.

Let me talk about another very important reason. Live animals such as cattle, sheep, and pigs transported have limited space on the ship, and they are prone to various problems and even death. Therefore, upon arriving at the destination, the fleet members will drive the livestock off the ship as soon as possible, count them, and send them to pastures in various places. As for those who died, they will be dealt with according to the situation.

This kind of thing should be done quickly rather than slowly. Letting the livestock stay in the crowded environment on the ship for a longer time means more variables. In comparison, the private goods carried by the fleet were all hard dead objects and were not so rushed.

So what is being done on the dock is not that the rough workers at the dock are carrying bags, carrying things off the boat, and piling them somewhere. Instead, a row of people stood in a human wall, shouting and driving the livestock off the boat to somewhere. Among these people were sailors on the ship and residents of Longdao Town.

The focus of Lin's observation is on these residents who have lived here for a long time.

People living in Longdao Town can be roughly divided into three categories based on their appearance.

One type of people has the most obvious characteristics, they all wear blue hats. These people did not go to the dock to help drive livestock or load and unload cargo. Instead, they gathered somewhere to find the registration information of the fleet's stewards. When they log in, they hand over the hat. Then he was waiting aside with large and small bags of luggage.

Another group of people also fall into this category. They were picked up by a small boat from the fleet and prepared to enter Longdao Town. Lin recognized some of the people as craftsmen preparing to work on Long Island, and others probably had the same identity. When they arrive at the dock, they are given a blue hat to put on.

Then the group of people preparing to leave are the craftsmen who were brought to Long Island to work.

The other type of people does not have the obvious characteristics of the blue hat. They wore ordinary clothes, hunched over, and performed trivial tasks with respect. If they have something in common, it is the enthusiasm that flashes in their eyes from time to time when they look at certain people.

There are very few people in the third category, but they usually wear very unique and strange clothes, and they don’t help with anything, they just watch and wander around.

Speaking of which, he really seems to be a bit like an aristocrat from the Landlord Continent. It's just that the behavior of these people is vulgar and rude, and their taste in clothing is more like a decision made when they are kicked in the head like a ball.

However, no matter where they go, these people always hold their heads high and look arrogant. Even when the empire's naval fleet officers arrived in front of them, they still had the same attitude. On the contrary, the officers who were bossing around in front of the Greco Chamber of Commerce people all bowed and bowed, showing a respectful attitude.

According to Henry, this kind of people are most likely to be humanized dragons.

Because the livestock had to be disembarked first, the battleship where Henry, Lin and others were still floating on the river. Some of the people responsible for negotiations and the craftsmen preparing to work on Long Island were connected ashore by small boats.

As the president of the Chamber of Commerce and the patriarch of the family, Henry is the final decision-maker. Of course, it is impossible to play forward when negotiating. Doing so will leave no room for bargaining. So he could still stay on the ship safely and clear up a certain magician's doubts.

Lin also took this opportunity to learn more about the humanization of the dragons on Dragon Island from Henry's mouth.

There are a few dragons who can take the form of humans and live in Longdao Town because they are needed for work. For example, those who are negotiating with naval officers.

The clothing and appearance of these humanized dragons are not as showy and individual as other dragons. Even if it is a well-behaved aristocratic dress, it would not be rude to wear it to a noble banquet or formal meeting.

As for other giant dragons that have transformed into humans, in the eyes of the general group of dragons. Just like in the hometown of a certain traveler, some relatively conservative old people saw a special group of people with haircuts, facial makeup, and spiked leather jackets. The comment they are most likely to give is: If you are a good person, you have to become a ghost...

In fact, if you think about it seriously, this is normal. According to Augustus, the old black dragon in the family, the dragon tribe's invention of humanization magic actually originated from transformation magic. The original intention was to blend into the crowd to gather information during the era of the rise of Homo sapiens.

In other words, humanization magic itself is a kind of transformation magic with a purpose. A dragon who turns himself into a human when nothing happens must be a mentally disturbed guy. According to someone's understanding, these humanized dragons are the second-tier patients among the dragon clan.

However, this group of humanized Zhongerlong clan are the beings that need to be kept away from on Dragon Island the most.

Other dragons will eat people, mostly because they are hungry, and partly because of the vicious taste in their bones. Otherwise, they would not leave the cattle, sheep, and pigs without eating, and would insist on finding the jelly beans to eat. However, the biggest problem with the humanized Zhonger dragons is that they are unpredictable. No one can guess what these dragons will do, including the dragons themselves.

Rather than 'crazy', other dragons prefer to call these middle-class dragons 'stupid' and then give them a wide berth. They don't even want to be seen by the dragon clan, which shows how much this group that likes to move in human form is annoying to the dragons.

Although the above is just Henry's introduction, Lin has already put a huge cross mark on the group of humanized dragons. Yuan Feizhai, who had lived in the dark historical era, certainly knew how troublesome this group was. Sometimes these people do not have any malicious intentions, they are just guilty...

Just because someone made a mistake, he would give him a real beating. To be honest, that person was not that cruel. But if you say you are disgusted by others, but you still have to let it go gently, someone is not so self-abuse. So the best way is, of course, to walk as far as you can. There is no need to be serious about people who are suffering from the second disease. This is a piece of advice given to myself by myself who has experienced that era.

After roughly understanding the situation in Longdao Town, Lin turned the topic back to matters related to himself. In other words, which dragon might I be able to find to resolve my dispute with Dragon Island? After resolving the dispute, it was time to find a way to promote the gold coin goddess.

Some people don't think that the Dragon Clan is magnanimous enough to put aside disputes and deal with common interests first. Not to mention the question of whether the Gold Coin Goddess can provide benefits to the Dragon Clan, Lin still doesn't have a clue.

In other words, my start on Dragon Island was a mess, even if it wasn't hell-level difficulty. I hope no one will take the initiative to cause trouble.
