Melon, eat as much as you want!

"Well, the D-level task: help the villagers pick watermelons from trees. The task is completed... Next, there is the task of going to the next village to dig a well and drive the moon bear away from the next village."

Chaoren had half a watermelon between his legs, and he was eating with a spoon in his left hand, while holding two to-do lists in his right hand.

Tree watermelons, as the name suggests, are watermelons that grow on trees.

But it is no different from watermelon except that it grows on trees.

The grid is big enough, so Guati is also very hard.The elderly in the village couldn't pick it off at all.Then all the young people in the village went to work in the city, so they had no choice but to invite adventurers to pick melons.

Chaoren is the only young man over the age of 20 and under the age of 30.

The melon is very sweet, but it is inexplicably a bit sad to eat.

"Leave the job of digging the well to me. As for the moon bear... the paws of the moon bear are delicious!"

Elma never leaves food. Is she going to save the world by eating?

"That's it."

Chao Ren put away the task list: "The tasks in Naga City are almost cleared up by both of us, can we consider changing cities?"

What is more terrifying than task maniacs is that both a person and a dragon are task maniacs.

"No, I still want to stay here."

"why?"

"I also want to inquire about dragon information."

Elma's eating speed didn't slow down, but her eyes became serious.

"Naga City is the largest port in the Western Continent, and its population flow is even greater than the capital of the largest kingdom. After contacting all kinds of (harmonious) people, I found that their news is sometimes stronger than the intelligence system inside the Dragon Clan. Well-informed."

Although Eluma is now theoretically a "captive" of Lukya and Chaoren, in fact, the two did not restrict her from doing anything except for restricting the story of Chaoren.

It also includes the matter of contacting the conciliation faction on time.

"It's hard to imagine that the Dragon Clan actually has a department in charge of intelligence." Chao Ren said following Elma's words: "I always thought that the Dragon Clan was solitary like Thor."

"Dragon is not alone, we also have our own society. However, in the eyes of you short-lived humans, we are always alone."

Elma explained.

"The average lifespan of a dragon is very long, 8 to [-] years is only enough to grow into an adult, as for dying of old age... To be honest, I have never seen a dragon dying of old age.

But because of the long life span, our concept of time is completely different from yours.For example, ten years is enough for you to grow from a child to an adult.But for us, there is not much difference between ten years and ten days. Wandering around the world for ten years is like taking a walk after eating. "

"Understood, the difference in the concept of time. However, I am more curious about your intelligence department. Your concept of time is so slow, the speed of information exchange should be equally slow, right? Timeliness is the most important thing in information exchange!"

Chao Ren was puzzled.

In fact, information, like news, has a 'freshness'.

For example, Chaoren is a post-[-] generation. He has experienced the Internet from development to prosperity, and has also experienced the huge impact of the accelerated flow of information on news.

Let’s say, a shocking murder happened somewhere.

If it is five-year-old Chaoren, there is no Internet, and the TV at home can only receive a few local stations through a satellite dish.He wanted to know that it might take several months, or even a year, to find out about the murder case from newspapers, parents, and classmates.

This is news to him, but it was a long time ago to the person involved.

If it was ten-year-old Chaoren, who didn’t have a computer or internet at home for his studies, but already had a digital TV, he would most likely see the news on CCTV or a local station a week after the incident happened.

This is news to Chaoren, but the parties may have calmed down, and the victims have come out of the shadows one after another.

But when he was 20 years old, on the second day after the case happened, Chao Ren could see the news by swiping his phone.And, if he was interested, all the information on the killer and the victim could be found on the Internet even three or four days later.

At this time, maybe the person concerned and the victim have not recovered from their senses, and the people who learned the information through the news have already called the door and started to greet the whole family, or comfort them.

The enhancement of information technology will speed up the exchange of information.

Accelerating the exchange of information will shorten the freshness of news or intelligence rapidly.

For example, the murder case may have been discussed by people for several months when Zai Chaoren was a child, but now it may be replaced by other more eye-catching news and become 'old news' in less than three days.

The slow character of the Dragon Clan regards ten years as ten days.

Maybe the 'latest' information collected by the intelligence agencies was all a year ago.

"Is your intelligence department really reliable?" Chao Ren asked suspiciously.

"Hey, why do you think I'm here?"

Elma sighed.

"Actually, what you said just now is correct. Apart from the difference in the concept of time, the concept of family is also different between the dragon race and the human race. My family already attaches great importance to the concept of 'family', but I have very little contact with my relatives. In fact, most of the time, dragons don't even have the unit of 'family', let alone race, and most of the time they are independent individuals.

Therefore, a society based on the 'family' cannot be built. As for the intelligence department... well, it is just a department established by the leader to copy the human society. It took thousands of years just to form and select personnel .It hasn't been fully edited until now. "

"However, we don't rely entirely on the intelligence department to collect information! We have prophets who specialize in predicting the enemy's situation!" As if to save face, Elma added at the end.

"Prophet?"

Only then did Chaoren realize that this is a magical world view.If prophecy magic, detection magic and the like are powerful enough, the intelligence department really doesn't need much.

"How accurate is the prediction?"

"Look at what is predicted. If it is forecasting the weather, the time of sunrise and sunset, etc., it is almost [-]% accurate."

"Then predict when the enemy will attack?"

"This......"

Elma looked away.

"Let's talk about what's for dinner."

Chapter 263 Chapter 255, From Civilized Chat to Creation

Well, Chaoren didn't expect anything.

The war between dragons and dragons basically remained the same as in the Middle Ages, where both sides fought directly.

In terms of strategy, basic tactics such as the combination of vertical and horizontal, long-distance and short-term attack, the encirclement of points and reinforcements and interspersed siege in battle, the three-three system with squads as units, and the squad-alternation system in combat have not been developed at all.

Not to mention what'information warfare''hybrid warfare'.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the Dragon Clan is not powerful, but that they are really lagging behind in certain fields.

Chao Ren dared to say that if humans and giant dragons had the same individual strength, the dragon clan would definitely be crushed unilaterally.

"Although it's strange for me, a human being, to say this, if this continues, your dragon clan may be in a dangerous situation." Chao Ren held his chin and frowned slightly: "Maybe the dragon clan will completely disappear from the world after a long time. .”

"Well, why?"

Elma raised her head from the tree melon, with the juice on her face, she spoke vaguely.

In the time of talking, she has almost finished eating half of a tree melon.

"Compared to human beings, the development of your civilization is too slow." Chao Ren said, "Elma, do you know what 'civilization' is?"

"I'm not sure, but I think it should be a way of life. For example, humans like to live in plains and build cities to develop civilization. Elves usually live in valleys and forests, get close to nature, and create art and magic. .”

Elma propped her chin up, and then asked Chaoren back.

"Am I right?"

"Yes, it's not right. In fact, I don't know how to describe the all-encompassing thing of 'civilization' in short words. But I think civilization should include two parts, the first is 'inheritance', and the second is 'develop'."

As Chaoren spoke, he wrote two words on the ground with his fingers.

Elma looked sideways, and then at Chaoren, waiting for his explanation.

"I don't need too many explanations for inheritance. Whether it is oral or written, the essence is to pass on the knowledge and experience accumulated by the ancestors to future generations. Such things should be done by both the human race and the dragon race. By the way, you have School?" Chao Ren raised his head and asked.

"School? No, we are all educated directly by the elder dragon according to our talents."

"Teach students according to their aptitude, no, it's clan education." Chao Ren nodded, "It may be more suitable for the few Dragon Clan. By the way, do you have courses such as ideology and morality, history and culture, art and music appreciation?"

"No, the content of the elders' education is only fighting and survival skills." Alma shook her head, and asked with some doubts: "Are these important? Shouldn't you learn them when you are interested?"

"Of course it's important because it's a big part of social studies."

Chaoren shook his head.

Ideology and morality, history and culture, fine arts and music, these courses that are not valued in schools because of the low proportion of scores are actually very important.Especially art and music, this does not require you to be a painter or musician, but to teach you how to appreciate 'painting' and 'music'.

At least when you see impressionist and modernist paintings, don't pretend to understand that they are children's graffiti.

Moreover, these social science courses also help to understand the past history and stimulate students to form the basic consciousness of nation and country.

Well, I don't tell you how awesome your ancestors are, but how rich foreigners are, and the children will become bananas sooner or later.

But after Zhaoren explained to Elma, Eluma still looked at a loss.

Chaoren waved his hand.

"For the detailed part, go to Lukya. She used to be the god of culture and communication, and even built her own empire. She must have a deep understanding of the 'cultural inheritance' part."

"Oh, I'll go back and ask her, what about 'development'?"

Elma didn't get too entangled, and turned her attention to the next question: "The dragon race is the most powerful race in the world. Once united, the dragon race could even fight against gods. This is enough to show that we have developed a lot. Strong, right?"

"It can only mean that it is strong. Development is a verb, not an adjective."

Chao Ren said: "Actually, I would say that the development of the Dragon Clan has almost stagnated. From the perspective of civilization, you have not only made no progress, but even regressed."

"How is this possible! We are obviously much stronger than before!" Elma frowned: "You can't be jealous, so you are talking nonsense?"

"You know the real world, right?" Chao Ren didn't refute immediately, but planned to give other examples.

"The real world, do you mean another world? I know, what's wrong."

"Have you ever been to the world over there?"

"Well, I went there once 6000 years ago, and there is nothing there."

"Then let me tell you, humans in that world can fly in the sky without magic, and even fly out of space and land on the moon?"

"Hahaha."

Elma patted Chaoren's shoulder and laughed loudly: "How is that possible? You can fly without magic, and humans are not birds! Have they evolved wings?"

"No, they use the power called technology. Do you remember my house? Do you think it can be made by magic? Electric light bulbs and refills, flush toilets, toasters that are not commonly used. ...Elma, haven't you already experienced the convenience of technology?"

Chaoren squinted at her.

"Forehead......"

Elma was embarrassed.

She remembered how she was like a country girl who had just entered the city, pointing to home appliances such as light bulbs and TV sets and asking questions.

"It took 60 years for humans to go from using stone tools to using bronze tools, but it didn't even take 1 years to go from bronze tools to making spaceships. Are you sure you want to compare the development speed with humans?"

"Well, indeed..."

Elma lowered her head: "Is the difference so big just because of the different concept of time?"

"This is inevitable. When you have too much time, you will waste time unconsciously. When a race is like this, their development will inevitably slow down. Moreover, dragons are too strong. Except for war In addition, the Dragon Clan has almost no natural enemies, so you hardly need to think about things other than 'self'."

Chao Ren breathed out: "This has also caused your social structure to be thinner than that of human beings. Information exchange, cultural exchange, and ideological exchange cannot keep up with human beings whose life expectancy is far less than yours."

"However, this doesn't mean that the dragon's situation is very dangerous, right? We are not afraid of any race except gods!"

Elma brought the question back to the original point, she said a little unconvinced: "And in the final analysis, survival is the foundation of a race! The strength of civilization cannot determine everything!"

Well, this is an admission that the development of dragons is not as fast as that of humans.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, so I just use 'maybe' to describe your crisis."

Chaoren put down the emptied melon rind, brought a ball of water to wash his hands.

"In fact, not only you dragons, but all intelligent races in this world and humans in another world may face the danger of complete extinction."

"Hearing what you said, I always feel that our world is about to encounter some kind of devastating crisis." Elma tilted her head, a little puzzled: "Do you know something, and why are you thinking about these things?" question?"

"Is there any crisis, Elma, you know it best! You have found evidence that the Chaos faction will definitely launch a large-scale attack, but you still want to stay with me and Lukoa? Just because you can eat delicious food every day Is it? I can't see it all!"

Elma turned her head away.

Chao Ren snorted coldly, this seemingly natural foodie dragon actually knew very well in his heart.

It doesn't matter how big the battle between the young dragons is, the key is the attitude of the few gods and dragon giants.
