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

He took a deep breath, stepped forward suddenly, and swung his sword towards the iron pile in front of him.

when!

There was a sound of metal knocking, and the motionless iron pile bounced the giant sword away. The reaction force made Amo take a step back, but this was not the end - he used this reaction force to readjust his posture, holding both hands. Holding the sword tightly, he curled up his waist, like a spring tightened together.

"drink!"

Amo shouted loudly and exhaled the turbid air in his chest. His curled up body was suddenly released. He took another step forward and struck the iron stake with his giant sword.

This blow did not cut it off, but it also succeeded in cutting a deep slash into the iron stake.

Similarly, Amo was shaken away by the reaction force again, took a step back with one foot, and stabilized his body again.

——This time, he arched his body, held the giant sword backwards, and the tip of the sword fell to the ground. His whole body bent backwards, as if it had turned into a heavy bow stretched into a full moon.

It could be seen that his skin was already congested with blood, and his momentum reached its peak after the previous two blows. The giant sword suddenly swung down and hit the front of the iron pile.

This blow seemed to be in vain, but it was not the case. Amo's momentum was like a huge wave in the sea, reaching its peak after a brief pause.

Using the giant sword smashed on the ground as a fulcrum, his body was lifted up by the giant sword, and he stood in front of the giant sword, slashing towards the iron pile in front of him with the force brought by the giant sword just now.

"what!"

Following Amo's shout, there was a loud noise, and the iron pile in front of him was split into two.

Chapter 222: Road

Seeing this powerful and coercive blow, Mercer couldn't help but nodded.

After all, Moser has eaten metal for a while and has some understanding of the quality of steel. The quality of such an iron block is not outstanding, it is simply melted into an iron pile, but after all, the thickness is there, I think To split it was as difficult as breaking a bundle of iron bars with bare hands.

Under such an attack, if he hit the head directly, he was sure that nearly [-]% of the beasts in the ice-veined snowfields and swamp forests would not survive. Even if the remaining ones survived, they would be stunned for a long time. This period of time is quite fatal in battle. .

However, being able to unleash such an attack is one thing, and another is whether one can have time to complete such lengthy preparations in an ever-changing battle.

After all, the enemy is not a stake. Even if Amo cuts off an adamantine iron stake, there is still nothing he can do if he cannot hit the enemy.

But even so, Mercer was not stingy with his praise:

"—Nice shot."

Such power cannot be matched even by the artillery fire on the spacecraft.

His voice spread around, attracting everyone's attention.

"Thank you for the compliment." Amo gasped slightly and lowered his head to Mercer.

"But this kind of technology is probably not something ordinary people can learn."

"That's right." Faced with Mercer's doubts, Amo nodded: "Hunter is a profession that requires extremely talented people. Not one person out of 1 people may be able to become a hunter."

This sounds a bit exaggerated at first, but Mercer thought for a while and agreed.

For most people, let alone chopping wood piles, even whether they can lift the big sword in Amo's hand is a problem.

It can be said that the first step to becoming a hunter is to have natural strength. This step alone is enough to screen out countless people, not to mention whether you can master heavy weapons to fight fierce beasts later.

"Practice well."

After leaving these words, Mercer turned around and left with Hami, leaving only those people behind who were confused about Mercer's arrival.

......

After walking away, Mercer said to Hami:

"Go back and tell Amo to screen the people participating in the training camp: conduct a screening when you first join the training camp, and conduct an assessment again one year after entering the training camp. Qualified students will stay and unqualified students will leave. At the same time, qualified students do not need to Perform labor.”

This was obviously in line with Hami's wishes, but in front of Mercer, he couldn't show too much joy, so he could only ask in a pretentious manner:

"...But as a result, the number of people in the training camp may drop sharply. What if it doesn't meet your requirements?"

"I would rather have a few elites than a lot of defective products." Mercer said lightly: "However, it is also necessary to improve the average strength. Let's open the training camp and allow others to work after work. Come here to learn the art of fighting.”

"understood."

Hearing this, Hami stopped talking and followed Mercer honestly.

After following Mercer for a while, Mercer stopped and came to the ground where the road was previously paved.

"——Do you know why I want to arrange for them to train to become hunters?"

Hami was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't understand your intention... I think it is to prevent the beasts of the ice and snow fields from blocking your purpose, so you want to train a team of your own. Crusade them?"

Hearing these words, Mercer let out a deep laugh and raised his hand to catch the snowflakes in front of him:

"I won't be so heartless. Don't forget who I am."

"...God?"

"——In your opinion, it's a wild beast." Mercer corrected:

"So I don't have the same discrimination as you humans. As far as I am concerned, as long as it can be used, I will not abandon it at will, including you and those beasts."

"..."

Hami was silent for a moment. During the conversation with them, Mercer showed too many insights. If his fierce appearance were removed, I am afraid no one would regard him as a black dragon.

"Suppose we tame a flying dragon and make it willingly help us work. Does it require more resources or less resources than killing it directly?"

"You...you want it?"

"——Hami, what you said about the lack of manpower is one thing, but you seem to have forgotten that the current problem does not require manpower to solve it."

"It's not about manpower..."

Hami opened his mouth and murmured to himself, his eyes showing confusion:

"...Yeah, if they can work for us, we don't need more manpower to collect resources, build buildings...many processes can be completed by them; and if we communicate , the lynx clan, the orc clan...I'm so stupid, how could I forget this about them? In this case..."

Mercer sat upright, feeling the confusion and excitement emerging from Hami's emotions.

"——Under my arrangement, the hunters will become a shield to protect the villagers and a bridge to communicate with the beasts. But if the beasts are unwilling to communicate with us, the hunters will also play a role." Mercer looked deeply Hami glanced at it: "In my territory, any creature that can play its role is allowed, but at the same time, it will engulf any existence that is unwilling to accept it."

If you blindly learn about floating islands, you are just chasing their footsteps, so Mercer will use all the resources he can use.Be it humans or beasts.

——It's just that in this way, what lies before Hami is a more unfamiliar road. He is no longer blindly following it, but the test for him is more severe.

"A brand new path..." Hami took a deep breath and covered his head, "...Thank you, Lord God."

He slowly raised his head and looked around as if he had been reborn.Everything around him seemed new.

"——You should thank me, but don't be too stubborn for this task. What I need is a city that takes into account both defense, offense and resource collection. If there are really insurmountable problems in the plan, I don't want you to go to waste. It's a waste of resources to do useless things." Mercer said calmly.

Hearing this, Hami nodded happily: "I will."

......

Mercer left here, and Hami returned to the house alone. Looking at the documents in front of him, his breathing became rapid.

He raised his head and looked at the lynx beside him:

"...Go and call the village chief of the orc village. I have something to do..." He paused as he spoke, and finally said, "I want to ask him for advice."

Chapter 223: Attitude

......

"——To sum up, I think Black Dragon has never concealed his greedy desires."

Ishikawa put down the report in his hand anxiously, looked at Sean in front of him and said.

"Um......"

Sean leaned back on the chair and began to think:

"Able to communicate directly with people's brains, and at the same time instigated Hami's rebellion in just one year... From this point of view, this is Black Dragon. Not only his strength, but his abilities in all aspects cannot be underestimated. ah."

"Yes! Hami seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. I feel so evil, so..."

"——I'm not surprised that Hami would stand on the ice-veined snowfield. The point is the voice you hear in your heads." Glancing at Ishikawa, who had a puzzled look on his face, Sean just frowned slightly. brow.

Hami is a person who has a good future despite being extremely talented. His only shortcoming is that he is too eager for power. If he is deceived like this, he will definitely not be well treated in the Ice Vein Snowfield.Not only will he receive hostility from scholars and guards, but his former subordinates will also reject him, which will frustrate his self-esteem and turn him into a useless person.

This is the best time to rebel, but it is not that simple to do so. The only possibility that Sean can guess is that Black Dragon proposes a future in which Hami can regain his status and even be respected more. Only then did Hami obey willingly.

"..."

The more he thought about it, the deeper his frown deepened.

What conditions did Black Dragon put forward to make him confront Floating Island?

Sean raised his head and looked at Ishikawa again. At this time, his expression had returned to its original state. He calmly took out a piece of paper from the table and wrote a few lines on it.

"——I'll give you and the hunters who heard the sound a holiday and go to the hospital to find a doctor."

With that said, he handed the note to Ishikawa.Seeing this, Ishikawa turned pale:

"No, Mr. Sean, everything I said is true! This can't be an auditory hallucination..." As soon as the words came out, he paused and looked hesitant: "... .Probably, it’s not an auditory hallucination, right?”

A talking dragon was too mysterious no matter what, and until now he was wondering if there was something wrong with him.

"——I want you to check whether there are any drug residues in your body, not to see a psychiatrist." Sean looked at his condition and sighed: "Forget it, let's see a psychiatrist too."

——After letting Ishikawa leave, Sean sat here for a while until there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The office door opened, and a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance walked in.

Sean picked up the document in his hand and handed it to him:

"This is a report about the black dragon."

The middle-aged man nodded, sat aside and started reading.

Then, he frowned:

"——Can the voice be directly transmitted into the other party's brain? Is the news true?"

"It's hard to confirm. I've asked them to go to the hospital for examination. The answer will be available within a few days."

"Um......"

The middle-aged man thought for a while, then put it away, took out another document from the briefcase on the side, and handed it to Sean.

"This is the current construction plan for Floating Island No. [-]."

After Sean took it, he also opened the file:

"...In addition to 'lava crystallization', have you found a new substitute?"

"The currently required resources have been collected and construction work has begun."

After hearing the news, Sean was not surprised. After nodding in response, he asked:

"What do you need me to do?"

"The alternative to 'Lava Crystal' is named 'Deep Sea Crystal', which is also taken from a natural disaster. These resources are very precious. If possible, we hope to collect more for research."

"Tell me more about it."

"A natural disaster traveled across the sea. We don't know its destination for the time being, but in the deep sea it crossed, we found this substance - it is too difficult to collect it, so we need your help , and also find out the movement route of the natural disaster."

"understood."

After a brief exchange, the middle-aged man stood up, turned and left.

"......Wait a moment."

Behind him, Sean thought for a moment and suddenly called him.

"what's up?"

"I want to know the attitude of the top management of Floating Island towards the Black Dragon." Sean Shen Ning said.

The middle-aged man turned around, looked at Sean and replied: "——After discussion, we collectively believe that the black dragon has gained the trust of the villagers, controlled the ice and snow fields as its own territory, and imprisoned the scholars for freedom... It must have an indispensable purpose. We must always be vigilant about telling secrets. It is very powerful. If it suddenly attacks us, we will suffer heavy losses, so it is necessary to be on guard against it. But at the same time, some people think that understanding the black dragon can By increasing people's exploration of the ground, we can cooperate with it until it is confirmed that it does more harm than good to us."

"..."

After hearing what he said, Sean had a general understanding. He nodded: "I see, I understand."

The middle-aged man didn't stay long and decisively turned around and left, leaving Sean sitting alone on a chair and meditating.

After a while, he raised his hand to fiddle with the ringtone on the side, and soon a subordinate walked in:
