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

However, when the three of them became nervous, it began to look dazed, staggered a little, and finally took two staggering steps before lying on the ground and falling asleep.

"..."

Looking at the scene in front of them, they were a little surprised when they arrived, while the scholar frowned at the undulating chest of the Snow Tyrannosaurus and murmured: "Sleep Mushroom?"

"Meow!"

Just as they were stunned, two bobcats barked at them. One of them barked three times and the other ten times.

"What do you mean?"

"What message are they sending us?" After facing the guard for a while, the scholar thought for a while and came to the lynx:

"What are you talking about? Can you be more detailed?"

Then, the two bobcats started barking again, one barking three times and the other ten.

"Are you sure they can understand you?" the impatient guard asked.

"...You mean, this Snow Tyrannosaurus will wake up in about 10 minutes and tell us to work quickly, right?"

"Meow!"

This time, the Bobcats answered in the affirmative.

So, the scholar turned to look at the two guards and said:

"I understand, dig out this flower and leave immediately."

The scholar took a deep breath, turned to look at the two guards and said.

Chapter 188: Going and Staying

Hami sat in the house, nibbling the few pieces of bread left.

These were given to him by his roommates and former subordinates as a reminder of their old friendship.

The originally dignified-looking middle-aged man had suffered several injuries that could be seen to the naked eye. His beard was not trimmed, and his whole body exuded a dirty stench.

Two months, he has been here for two months.

—It's all over, all over.

I thought it was a job that would give me a bright future, but because of my stupidity... no, because of the other party's concealment, half of my future was ruined.

Not only that, he was the one who reduced those big shots to this situation, and they would not let him go.

Across this room, Hami could hear the hostile sounds made by his former subordinates towards him. For a moment, he was surrounded by a feeling of isolation and helplessness.

A strong sense of contrast surrounded him - on Kongdao, although his status was not high, he could still go smoothly; but now, he had become a prisoner, and he was the culprit for letting them end up here.

He was chewing the bread in his mouth, and suddenly let go of his hand blankly, letting the bread fall to the ground, holding his head and shivering.

——People have begun to take the initiative to adapt to life here. They get food from work and only have themselves, still shrinking in this small room.

Hami knew that this was not possible, but he didn't know what to do except curl up here.

He didn't dare to face anyone outside, and even when he heard the slightest movement, he would nervously suspect that someone was secretly discussing him.

Recently, the weather has become colder, and scholars seem to have begun to discuss the work of cutting down trees outside. Hami doesn't know what the situation is now, but they must have harvested a lot of firewood.

Only my room is still cold.

If this continues, he will definitely freeze to death in a few months. He doesn't feel like this, but he still doesn't want to face their eyes.

"Ahhh-"

He opened his mouth, his vision lost focus, saliva dripped from his mouth, and a low scream came from his throat.

"......I want to go back......"

This place was equivalent to hell for him. At this time, Hami only had one thought: he wanted to go back, to the floating island where nothing happened before.

......

Wide wide wide.

——At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and along with the crew member’s door opening, a voice also rang:

"The priest's oracle requires Mr. Hami to come over."

Hami's dim eyes were filled with luster. He raised his head and looked out the door in horror.

There was a sound of footsteps, the door was pushed open, and several big men looked at Hami.

"...Mr. Hammy, someone is here to see you."

"What are you doing - I don't want to go out! I don't want to!"

Hami shouted, but the big man paid no attention to him. After looking at each other, he walked into the room and grabbed his arms.

From that force, Hami clearly felt the hatred coming from them.

"no no!"

Hami struggled but they dragged him out of the house and onto the village road.

On both sides, several people looked at the movement here. The sight they gave made Hami even more painful, but no matter how they resisted, they were all forced to be dragged out of the village and thrown into the cart.

"Please calm down, Mr. Hammy."

The man sitting in front of the mammoth glanced at him, tightened his grip on the reins, shouted, and walked towards the top of the mountain.

——Soon, Hami was pushed to the house on the top of the mountain and came to Rachel.

He leaned against the door of the house, not looking at Rachel, and his body slowly slid down.

"Long time no see, Mr. Hammy."

Rachel came to Hami on crutches and said.

"..."

Hami didn't answer. He hugged his knees and curled up together.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Rachel: "Kill me..."

Seeing this, Rachel sighed and raised her head as if listening.

Then, she lowered her head and said, "Want to go back? Mr. Hammy."

Hearing these words, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed color, and his voice trembled slightly: "What did you say?"

"I can let you go back to the floating island." Rachel repeated.

"...What do you want me to do?"

Hami's shoulders began to shake and he looked at Rachel with wide eyes.

"It's that simple to send the traded goods back to the floating island."

Rachel chuckled, turned back to the table, picked up an envelope and handed it to Hami:

"——However, there is something that you need to spread on the floating island."

"......what?"

He was stunned for a moment, then took the envelope and looked at Rachel in confusion.

"please."

Rachel smiled gently and motioned for him to open the envelope.

The envelope had no sealing wax, so Hammy took out a page and opened it.

[For humans on the floating island, please read:

This is the Lord of Ice and Snowfields: the evil dragon who controls the fire of hell, the immortal black dragon, the growler of the abyss... These are the names you humans have given me. I believe you are no strangers to me.My believers: The orcs in the snowy mountains were part of this territory thousands of years ago. When you abandoned this land and fled to the sky, it was their ancestors who stayed here. Therefore, according to your human words - -This land belongs to the orcs, no one is allowed to get involved, let alone the existence of such a thing as a "resource collection center".

Therefore, as a warning, I have restricted the freedom of people, including scholars. I hope you can take this as a warning and refrain from any further actions that offend the Ice Vein Snowfield. If you do it again, I will not be polite to you, Ice Vein. The people in the snowfield will also deal with your actions accordingly.

——Ghostwritten by the Ice Vein Snow Priest. 】

"..."

this is......

Hammy opened his mouth, his hand holding the paper was shaking a little, and he looked at Rachel in disbelief.

"How? Is there something wrong with my writing?" Rachel asked with a smile.

——How dare he send out content of this level!

If he sends it out, his fate on the floating island will be even more miserable than if he stayed here!

Hami's lips trembled and he stared at Rachel: "I, don't..."

"No? Does Mr. Hammy plan to stay here?"

Hearing this, Rachel straightened her face slightly and said.

Stay here?go back?

Hammy opened his eyes wide, thinking back to the problem he had always avoided.

What will happen if you go back by yourself?

Everything is gone. The work that I have worked hard for for half my life has disappeared because of them. Now even if I return to the floating island, what will happen to me?

Thinking of this, Hami took a deep breath and looked at Rachel's face:

"Yes...I want to stay here!"

Chapter 189: Surrender

Hami's brain was spinning rapidly. He had lost his job. Even if he returned to the floating island, he would not be able to regain his previous days.

But it was different here. If it were in this ice-veined snowfield, he would at least have a glimmer of hope. As long as he threw away his dignity and everything in the past... he would still have a chance to start over. Although The living conditions here are not as good as those on the floating island, but at least you can get some food that is enough to make a living.

More importantly, he couldn't imagine returning to life on the floating island. His colleagues looked down upon him, passers-by were hostile to him, and even when he went back to report, he would face Sean's eyes with contempt in his chuckle.

Thinking of this, Hami grasped the last straw like a drowning man, and knelt down with a thud:

"I'm going to stay here and I'm going to work for you!"

"Oh?" Seeing this scene, Rachel stopped moving. She looked at Hami in front of her in silence for a while, and finally said, "I need someone to send these goods back, and you are the best candidate."

"-No! It's not me. I know some candidates who can drive the spaceship back to the island!" Hami raised his head and said eagerly: "I can do a lot of things for you! As long as you ask me, I can do it. Do it!”

"..."

Feeling the hammy in the room, Mercer began to think in the magma.

"Hmph... What if I say, I want to keep your floating island deal?"

Mercer grinned and sent a message to Rachel, who pondered for a while before speaking these words.

"This..." After hearing this, Hami opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time. Then he lowered his eyes and thought quickly: "I...I can do it here too. , just need to write a contract. Although there is a possibility of rejection... No, if they insist on rejecting, it will be useless even if I go back!"

When he said these words, he also felt a turmoil in his heart - it was simply impossible to maintain a deal with the floating island after imprisoning these scholars!

Different from what Hami thought, Mercer was thinking about the problem from another angle: the group of people on the floating island would naturally not continue trading after learning the news, but looking at it from another direction, "In terms of trading, In the name of exploring the ice veins and snowfields" - that group of humans will most likely do this.

Mercer doesn't care what little tricks the other party does, as long as they don't actually take action. What he cares about is the transaction with humans.

To put it bluntly, Mercer was equivalent to giving them a message:

——The hostages are in my hands. Do you want to come and see them?Then trade with me.

In this way, as long as there are influential figures on the floating island among this group of people, they must make transactions with Mercer, and the initiative will also be in Mercer's hands.

After pondering for a moment, Mercer sent a message: "Very good, then you can write a contract when you go back, and then make a list and give it to me."

"I will......"

After receiving Rachel's instructions, Hami felt a burst of joy in his heart. He took Rachel's paper, leaned over and was about to leave.

But as soon as he took steps, Hami suddenly thought of something.

——My behavior is equivalent to a complete betrayal of those people whose hearts are on the floating island. After returning, I will inevitably suffer their resentment and even revenge.

No, because their own incompetence has brought them to this situation, it is normal for them to be retaliated against.It's just that those people in the past saw him giving up on himself, so they were unwilling to get their hands dirty, and instead just let him wait for death slowly.

If this is the case, then there is only one path in front of you.
