My wife is a dragon.
Chapter 21 It turns out that I am nothing
Chapter 21 It turns out that I am nothing (two chapters merged)
Xia Li has always believed that educating a dragon is by no means an easy task.
He not only wants to teach Lucia to live in a human way, but also to teach her how to integrate into human society.
The former is not difficult. As long as they stay together for a long time, I believe Lucia will soon be able to imitate Xia Li's lifestyle.
But the latter is difficult.
Integrating into society is not as simple as finding a job and building your own circle of friends.
For Lucia, the first and most difficult step she had to take was a change in her mindset.
She lived in the continent of Aize for a hundred years with the inherent thinking of the dragon clan. During these hundred years, she constructed her own concepts and formed her own subjective consciousness.
The dragon race has no concept of "trading".
No matter what they come across, they rely on one word - grab it.
The weaker dragons robbed secretly, while the stronger ones robbed openly.
If you can’t snatch it away, fight; if you can’t win, run away; if you win, take it for yourself.
It can be said that the way dragons survive on the continent of Azer is similar to that of ordinary wild beasts.
Although they can speak human language, no dragon is willing to establish communication. They completely follow their own nature and savagery, relying on their powerful bodies to do whatever they want.
Now, Xia Li wants this evil dragon that has lived alone for a hundred years to change his traditional ideas...
It's about as difficult as taming a coyote to integrate into a human family.
There is absolutely no way to start.
"Xia Li, did you cook these grains of rice in the pot just now?"
Lucia finished her bowl of egg fried rice and stared at Xia Li's bowl with envy.
Although she wanted to eat it, Lucia chose not to grab it.
After all, she couldn't beat Xia Li now, and it was not an honorable thing to be Xia Li's subordinate and defeat the dragon.
Lucia's legs were hanging in the air, she supported her hands on both sides of her body, her mind still savoring the rice she had just eaten.
“The food you cook is so delicious, I didn’t expect you are a cook.
If you cooked this kind of food for me in the Aize Continent, I would definitely not attack you... maybe we could become friends."
Lucia's tone was somewhat regretful.
The hero is obviously a pretty good person, so why did they start fighting whenever they met?
Didn't she just eat a few noble goats and steal some gold coins from a certain earl's warehouse?
"Lucia, there is something I want to tell you."
Xia Li took a few bites of the egg fried rice, and when he was almost done, he put down his chopsticks and his tone suddenly became serious.
Lucia stopped her dangling legs and nodded attentively at Xia Li.
"You said."
"It's about the laws of this world... In fact, this law is also applicable in the Aize continent."
Xia Li said seriously: "No matter what the circumstances, stealing things is not advisable.
If you steal things in the Aize continent, you will be put on the wanted list and posted on the commission wall.
If you steal things on Earth, you will also be wanted."
"Oh..." Lucia thought for a moment, "So, if I try to steal the golden crown, I will be attacked by humans on Earth?"
"That's about what I mean." Xia Li nodded.
After hearing this, Lucia fell silent.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, dragons were born to be attacked by humans.
Regardless of whether they have robbed anything or set foot on human territory, every dragon on the continent of Azer is a target of attack in the eyes of humans.
Otherwise, why would humans not even let go of the dragon cubs that had just opened their eyes?
The same goes for the dragon eggs hidden in the nest.
Those dragon eggs taken away by humans will be hatched and raised as slaves if they are lucky. If they are unlucky, or if they are species that humans judge to be difficult to control, their eggshells will be pierced with swords, or they will be taken home and cooked and eaten.
Humans say that dragons are cruel, but in the eyes of dragons, humans are also cruel.
"Then I won't go and 'rob', I can just 'take' it."
Lucia hesitated for a while, thinking that there must be something wrong with her approach, so she corrected herself and said, "I can just open the door of the glass cabinet in the gold shop and take the gold crown away!"
"…This is not a place for you to quibble over words,"
Xia Li wanted to hold his forehead with his hand.
But considering that this guy's mindset must change, he added, "Everything you do now is 'unearned gain', and this kind of thing will be judged as 'illegal' by this society."
"How can you say I got something for nothing?"
Lucia blinked in surprise: "When I go to rob, it is also a kind of labor... Just like the dragons going out hunting, I expended energy and harvested prey. Can this also be considered robbing?"
"..." Xia Li was choked by her words.
In the eyes of the evil dragon, this world is still a world where the strong prey on the weak, and anything she snatches with her own ability is not considered stealing.
"Humans are always like this, taking all resources for themselves, allocating food, dividing territories, and even keeping wild animals and birds in captivity and labeling them.
But we dragons also need to survive. We need a place to rest and eat...
Instead, you are not only depriving us of our living space bit by bit, but also labeling us as evil. "
Lucia still couldn't understand human concepts.
She thought about how she had lived for the past hundred years, days of stopping and starting, hiding from place to place.
Her nest is always being plundered and plundered. If humans take away her territory, she will fight to take it back. If she wins, she will stay for a few more years. If she loses, she will leave.
From childhood to adulthood, Lucia has never had a place to stay for a long time.
She felt wronged when she thought of these things.
Especially the brave man in front of him named Xia Li.
He has overturned his own nest at least three times, right? !
The demon-repelling sword in Xia Li's hand is completely beyond the normal combat power system!
Fortunately, Lucia ran fast every time, otherwise she would have been defeated and captured... By then, she would probably have been forced to give birth to a litter of little dragons!
Thinking of this, Lucia took a fierce look at Xia Li's house.
Xia Li has raided her house so many times, isn't it her turn to raid it once?
Lucia clenched her little fist, raised it up, and tried to smash it viciously on the table.
However, when I saw the empty rice bowls on the table, I felt soft-hearted again.
Lucia said angrily as she picked up two remaining rice grains in the rice bowl and put them in her mouth.
"Apart from the need for survival, the only thing the dragon race likes is shiny things...
We do like to rob gold coins from human nobles, but what's wrong with liking this kind of thing? It's not something that harms others.
You humans also like to wear animal fur on your bodies. In this regard, it is you who kill animals, and we do not kill animals."
Lucia was picking up food from the table and feeling indignant.
Seeing this, Xia Li pushed his unfinished bowl forward.
Lucia's originally gloomy face lit up with joy.
She pointed at herself, meaning 'Is this for me?'
Xia Li nodded.
Xia Li didn't expect that Lucia was actually talking to him.
He thought that such a clash of views would lead to a big quarrel. But Lucia was angry but she showed no signs of losing her temper.
Are all dragons so good-tempered?
Xia Li didn't remember that the dragon clan had such a setting.
It could only be that Lucia's personality was just like that.
This guy is so easy to please.
She was angry just now, but now her face is smiling while eating.
"I understand how you feel."
Xia Li's eyes fell on Lucia's face as she was eating. He slowed down his voice and said, "After all, there are more intelligent species than just humans on the Aize continent. Each of you has your own ideas and positions.
Disputes over resources are also disputes over interests. You are not as smart as humans, so even if you have great power, you can only suffer at the hands of humans."
Lucia listened to Xia Li talking and raised her head slightly from the basin.
There were still grains of rice on her cheeks, and the same slightly aggrieved look from before appeared in her amber eyes again.
Xia Li just said that she understood her very well.
Lucia had been lonely for a hundred years and had never thought of asking anyone to empathize with her.
Lucia felt strange hearing such words coming from the mouth of a human hero.
Lucia felt a sour feeling in her nose and was inexplicably moved.
Once emotions are recognized, they begin to amplify.
A giant dragon like Lucia, who just turned 100 years old, would only be around 18 years old in human age.
In addition, the intelligence of the dragon race is relatively low.
Although they have a huge and majestic body, dragons are actually very simple creatures.
“Well…it’s okay, humans can’t beat me anyway.
If you didn’t have that demon-killing sword, I could have taken over the castle…”
Lucia muttered, poking the rice grains on the table with her fingers.
I didn't expect that after being beaten by Xia Li for three years, I would be comforted by Xia Li in return.
Xia Li ignored her whispered complaints and spoke in a stern tone.
"But this is Earth,
Unlike the Aize Continent, humans are the only intelligent race here, and the entire planet is completely controlled by humans."
Xia Li would not argue with Lucia about the right and wrong on the continent of Aize.
They are different races and naturally have different positions. No one is a real bad guy, so this argument is meaningless.
What's more, the concepts on Earth are different from those on Aize Continent. The worldviews of these two places are very different.
“Here, everything you see is controlled by people, and anything you can touch has its own owner.
Our resources have long been allocated, and the wars that should be fought have almost been fought. There may be a reshuffle in the future, but now is a peaceful stage.
Now the land under your feet has complete laws and rules. Your only way to survive is to survive under the protection of the rules, and the prerequisite for this is to follow the rules. "
Xia Li paused here, and seeing that Lucia was listening attentively, he continued.
“I will explain the rules to you now, and you must strictly follow them in the future.
Anything you want, it either belongs to the state or to a private individual.
Let’s not talk about the things that belong to the country. You can’t shake them with your strength. As for these things that belong to individuals, they are all earned by the other party with great difficulty. If you take them away easily, you are breaking the law and committing a crime.”
Lucia, at the table, was trying to comprehend these words.
Xia Li could tell from her furrowed brows that this guy's CPU was about to smoke.
"Let me give you an example," Xia Li cleared his throat and said.
"For example, you spent a whole day in the kitchen making a bowl of rice. You are already starving at this time, but suddenly someone breaks in and snatches your rice away. What will you do?"
"I'll beat him up," Lucia replied.
"Yes, that's right," Xia Li continued, "but the rules of this society are: there will be special people to teach these thieves a lesson, they will be interrogated and convicted, and then thrown into jail, and finally pay a heavier price than stealing a bowl of rice.
Although you won't be executed directly like in the Aze continent where you lived before, the punishment here is also quite severe.
For example, if you use a sewing machine for a lifetime...
It's like cooking for others all your life but not being able to eat yourself."
In order to make it easier for Lucia to understand, Xia Li changed the way he put it so that she could relate to it more.
Lucia found it horrible to hear.
Cooking for others all your life but not being able to eat a single bite yourself?
Isn't this going to make her die of greed?
"Do you know how serious this is?"
When Xia Li saw the look of fear on Lucia's face, he knew that what he said had worked.
"I understand." Lucia nodded vigorously.
Lucia likes Earth very much. She likes the delicious food here and the dragon's nest that Xia Li made for her.
She has always been willing to live according to the rules of this world, but she just doesn't understand the rules here very well.
Now that Xia Li told her, she knew what to do.
"Xia Li, I have another question."
"You ask."
"You just said that anything I want has its own owner... Then Xia Li, what is your ownership?"
"Where do I belong?"
This unexpected question left Xia Li confused for a moment. He thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure out the answer to the question.
This evil dragon's train of thought is really bizarre.
"I am not a thing, how can I belong to anything?"
After saying this, Xia Li's expression paused again.
"……wrong."
"Eh? Huh?"
Lucia had a puzzled look on her face.
dry.
Xia Li sighed inwardly.
I was almost dizzy by this evil dragon.
If Xia Li hadn't seen the particularly pure look in the evil dragon's eyes, he would have suspected that he was blown away by her.
"People cannot be considered 'things'. There are no slaves in our country. Everyone belongs to himself, so there is no belonging."
“…In that case, kidnapping is legal.”
"Robbery is not even legal!"
"Oh, then don't rob."
Xia Li was almost pissed off by this silly Long Qingqi's train of thought.
However, he achieved his goal today.
Lucia understood the most basic rules of this world and was willing to accept them.
This is an important step for the evil dragon to enter society.
