Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

Rachel pointed to the chair in front of her, and the scholar looked at the empty chair behind him, without any sense of security.He forced himself to cheer up, straightened his back, walked to her and sat down.

"What's the matter?" he asked with a slightly trembling voice.

"I need to know your information, such as name, age, experience, and areas of expertise."

Rachel held the pen in her hand and faced the scholar with her eyes closed.

Chapter 186: Forced Cooperation

five days later—

"My name is Hami. I am 13 years old. Before that, I worked in the Resource Management Department... Hehe, you know all this, don't you?"

Sitting in front of Rachel was the lost Hami. He lowered his head and his eyes had long lost the previous color.

Rachel ignored him, but sorted out the thick paper in front of her, then turned to look at Mercer: "Lord God, everything has been recorded."

Mercer on the spaceship nodded and yawned.

During this period, Rachel said to Hami: "Then Mr. Hami, please come back... By the way, I would like to inform everyone to gather here."

Hami laughed miserably and shook his head: "You told me how to face them. I messed up everything and I have nothing left..."

Seeing this, Rachel frowned, and then looked at Mercer.

He scratched his metal-covered chin, raised his head, and let out a long cry:

"hold head high--"

The next moment, the cry of a group of bobcats echoed in the house ahead.

...In a house, several people who were cooking food complained.

"These cat people actually give us food? What are their plans?" A guard said bitterly, clenching the wooden spoon in his hand.

"I suspect there is poison here." Another guard said while staring at the food in the pot.

"But no matter what, if we don't eat these, we will just be hungry, right?" The scholar sighed, broke off a branch, and threw it into the firewood.

Everyone was speechless and could only cook the food in the pot silently.

But then, after a dragon roar, dense cat sounds sounded one after another, ringing in everyone's ears.

They looked around in surprise. After a while, the door was opened by a bobcat, turning sideways and making a "please" gesture.

"..."

They didn't know how to react for a moment, but because they had experienced it when Rachel called them before, this time they put down the boiler and walked out on their own initiative.

But then they discovered that it was not just themselves who walked out of the room, but also people in other rooms. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Under the arrangements of the Bobcats, they went to the gathering place and looked at the black dragon on the spacecraft.

In front of everyone, Rachel stood up and said:

"Everyone, I am rude for being banned for these five days. I have recorded all your information so far. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, God doesn't care. If you want to change this content, you can come to me at any time - and Now I want to tell you that the imprisonment has been cancelled, and you can study as you like according to the original plan. As long as you are willing to cooperate, we will actively help you."

She paused and continued:

"——However, when you investigate, you must have them follow you."

After saying that, she pointed to the lynx on the side.

"They can use tools, understand human language, and are familiar with the environment around the snowfield. If you get lost in the wilderness, it will also bring you back - and more importantly, if someone wants to escape, it will also be there. I’ll leave a mark while following you, I hope you can understand.”

After unloading her luggage, she packed up the documents and returned to the Mammoth truck in front of everyone, leaving everyone looking at each other.

"Meow~"

Beside them, the bobcats shook their paws and showed cute expressions, but no one ignored them.

The black dragon also spread its wings on the spacecraft and flew out.

......

"Let's sort out the current information."

At night, the scholars gathered in the open space of the village and discussed. Seeing this, some lynx cats took the initiative to cook food and serve it in front of them.

Some people watched the bobcats walk up to them and glared at them fiercely, but the latter ignored them and put down the food in their hands with a smile.

Feeling the presence of the lynx next to him, a scholar took a deep breath and held back:

"Because of someone's mistake, we fell into this backward place, and we can't even go back."

Having said this, he stared at the person in the corner.

There, Hami laughed sadly and replied:

"Yes, it's all my fault. You adults can punish me however you want, even if you kill me on the spot..."

"Humph!"

Seeing the almost inhuman Hami, the scholar stopped talking and looked not far away:

"There are many cat people guarding the spaceship, preventing us from leaving here by boat."

"——Even if we try to take off, we will be overtaken by the black dragon. Don't forget that more than ten years ago, the black dragon flew to the floating island No. [-] and destroyed the energy of the floating island." Another scholar analyzed.

"... Damn it, are we going to live in this inhospitable place for the rest of our lives?" A guard hammered the ground hard and looked at everyone: "How about we fight with the black dragon? ! Those lynxes are not very effective in combat. When we get the spaceship back, how about giving the black dragon a dragon hunting stake!"

Another person said lightly: "If I remember correctly, the black dragon has carried the dragon hunting stake twice. The first time was when it was less than five years old, and the dragon hunting stake passed through its chest, but it still has I had the strength to fight back; the second time was also in the chest, and I was directly hit by a spiral dragon hunting stake from the Sky Spin Hunting Group, but that time it didn't even penetrate the bones."

"That Sky Vortex Hunting Group that has specialized in dragon hunting stakes?" The previous guard was speechless and immediately calmed down.

A scholar also sighed and looked at the guards beside him: "If we arm ourselves with everything we have, we can defeat the black dragon... No, can we escape from here?"

The guard analyzed calmly for a while and shook his head: "It's impossible. Even if we escape from the ice-veined snowfield, the black dragon's flying speed can catch us all. So if we want to leave, defeating the black dragon is a necessary prerequisite. .”

"Then defeat the black dragon..." The scholar was about to ask, but was interrupted by another scholar:

"Don't think about it. Let's not talk about the physical quality of the black dragon when it was recorded more than ten years ago. First, take a look at what the black dragon is wearing now. I observed the indentations on the spacecraft from a distance and calculated it. After weighing it, I found that there is only one material that can match the black dragon armor."

"what?"

The scholar put on a serious face and said with great solemnity: "With such weight and luster, there is only one possibility, and that is Nirvana Alloy."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's voices suddenly became noisy:

"Are you kidding! It made Nirvana alloy into armor and wore it on itself?"

"What does this dragon think! No...what does the guy who made it armor think?"

After hearing these words, the former guard's face became even more bitter, and he turned to the scholar and said: "Even if we use all our resources now, we still can't defeat the black dragon... No, even if it doesn't stand still, we can't defeat it..." If he had to fight us, he wouldn't be seriously injured."

Hearing this, the scholar couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Then what should we do!"

"Let nature take its course. This is the only way. After all, the priest also said that as long as we cooperate, there won't be much of a problem."

The guard shook his head silently, then looked at the food in front of him, grabbed it, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. The delicious and shiny flesh slid into his mouth as if there was still life, which made his eyes light up. .

Chapter 187: Understand

"Do you have any good solutions for those spaceships?"

At the edge of the volcano, Mercer asked Gollum in the house.

Gulu was stunned for a moment, then showed an awkward smile: "After all, we forging people are just digging ores, not carpenters, and we don't know much about this."

"That's it." Mercer spread his wings in the lava, letting himself float in the lava and feeling the subtle healing of his body.

"——Then I have something else to show you."

After Rachel finished speaking, she handed him some papers in her hand.

"these are?"

Gulu took the papers and found that they contained various information about some scholars, ranging from age, name, to past experiences.

He started to look through it, and then his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Gulu noticed that the information had the same point.

"The place where the natural disaster fell?"

He raised his head and looked at Rachel.

Some of the scholars who were interrogated before were not of very good psychological quality. Mercer threatened them a little and then they said everything. Although he was not sure whether it was true or not at the time, Mercer still coaxed the scholars who came after him. He told him the whole story.

With big data comparison, Mercer can also understand who of them is telling the truth and who is lying.

Unlike Gulu's shock, Mercer accepted this information easily, and many doubts were explained clearly after getting this answer.

——Why did Red Phoenix come to this place of ice and snow to regain strength? Why are there so many rich mineral veins here? Why does the energy bubble magma in his body recover... Although it is not yet clear whether this is related to natural disasters. It does matter, but if so, Mercer would have more ideas for solving the energy problem in his body.

"I'm telling you this not to ask you to take the initiative, but to ask you to pay attention to the terrain of the volcano. If there are any unseen materials, tell me as soon as possible, and hide this from the scholars. I understand. "?" Mercer played with his paws covered with nirvana stones in the lava and conveyed the message to Rachel.

"I know." After hearing Rachel's words, Gulu agreed, and then looked at one of the contents:

"But there is also a resource collection center inside..."

"The snowstorm in a few months will be our natural protective cover. With this thing here, we don't have to worry about their arrival for the time being. Not only that, after learning this information, it can also become an excuse for us to take the initiative." Mercer Smiling lightly, he replied: "Have you checked all the goods for this year?"

Gulu nodded and replied: "Books and mining tools are all fine."

"If we were to buy these things, how long would it take for you to mine the corresponding amount of ore?"

"what?"

Facing Mercer's question, Gulu was stunned for a moment and didn't understand. He remembered that Black Dragon himself said that there was no need to pay for these things.

But he didn’t think too much. Asking less and doing more is one of Gulu’s strengths:

"Two months... No, after using these mining tools, it may be faster."

"Then I will give you two months to prepare the ores, and you will do the same thing. Call the orcs to prepare the poultry."

"Understood." Rachel and Gollum responded.

"That's it." After Black Dragon finished speaking, Gulu said goodbye to Rachel and left.

......

On the other side, several people were squatting at the foot of the mountain, doing something.

"Be careful, don't injure the roots!" An impatient guard used a shovel to loosen the soil around him and looked at another young guard and said.

The latter were carefully picking up the soil. At this time, a circle of deep scratches appeared around a flower.

"I need to point out one thing: no matter how clever the method is, digging a plant out of the soil itself is an act of damaging the rhizome - don't dig further here, it is safer to dig further." A scholar said holding a large bucket. , and then immediately reminded the impatient guard.

At the same time, he observed the many flowers with blurred eyes:

"It's such a rare plant. It couldn't be found in records more than 100 years ago."

He wouldn't want to dig it out of the land if it wasn't so safe all around.

The impatient guard curled his lips and moved his hands slightly, but his eyes looked in another direction.

"By the way, it's just sitting here doing nothing?"

In the direction of his sight, two bobcats were sitting on the ground, combing their hair.

The young guard complained: "To put it bluntly, we are prisoners now. They are looking after us. It would be fine if they don't whip us."

"Tch." Hearing this, the impatient guard curled his lips and continued the work at hand.

However, at this moment, the two bobcats moved their ears and looked in the same direction at the same time.

Their movements attracted the attention of the three people. In the direction of their sight, a 15-meter-long leopard came from a distance, sniffed the air, and finally looked at them.

"Oops--"

The two guards immediately stood up, one took out the spear behind him, and the other also took out the light crossbow on his back.

"It's the Snow Tyrannosaurus. I'm blocking it. You take him away!"

The impatient guard turned around and said while carrying the shield. The scholar and the young guard nodded. Just when they were about to take action, the two lynxes suddenly moved.

One of them took out the blowpipe on his waist, and the other took out a few cloth bags from the backpack on his back with a sinister smile and threw them at the Snow Tyrannosaurus.

The bag hit the Snow Tyrannosaurus on the head and broke open, releasing a large amount of cyan powder. At the same time, another lynx blew the blowpipe and shot out a thin needle, which pierced the Snow Tyrannosaurus' face.

"Roar--"

The Snow Tyrannosaurus was enraged. It opened its mouth, revealing two slender fangs.
