Chapter 104: Inside the Dragon Clan's Cave (Part 2)

  The giant dragon is stunned!

  Then it started with a strong wrench finger, then the fingers were not enough to start with the toes, but soon the toes were not enough either. Looking at its eyes, it seemed to want to borrow Du Wei's fingers...

  Looking at the giant dragon clumsily counting its fingers and toes with a painful expression, Du Wei couldn't help but laugh: "What? Can't you count?"

  "...The giant suddenly became angry: "This is a lie! It's impossible! How can such a topic be calculated?! And...and...if you count to the first thousand houses, there must be one thousand people in the first thousand houses! Where is there such a big house?!"

  "Cut! In the human palace, it's no problem to fit in 10,000 people, let alone 1,000." Du Wei chuckled: "Respected Captain of the Guard, can you finally give an answer?"

  "This... this isn't even a problem! This is a lie! No one can figure it out! At least a year's time is needed to count it clearly!" The giant dragon was somewhat irritated: "You yourself can't answer the question, what right do you have to ask me?"

  Du Wei didn't argue with him either, and chuckled: "Really?"

  Then he lay down on the ground and scribbled a few times on the ground, raised his head and reported the answer: "There are 500,500 people in total!"

  "500?!" The giant dragon widened its eyes, if it weren't a dragon, it would have been sweating profusely. After thinking desperately for a while, it shouted loudly: "I don't believe it! How did you calculate that?! You must be talking nonsense!"

  Du Wei's face sank: "I set the question, I also said the answer myself. Only you can't answer... and then you want to welch on the deal? Is this the pride of the Dragon Clan?"

  "...The giant dragon was speechless. It let out a furious roar, unwillingly bellowing: "Fine! Cunning human. You win!! You win!! You can go in!!"

  Then, the giant dragon glared at the old magician: "Now it's your turn! Last time you cheated me once, this time don't think about cheating me again!"

  The old magician smiled and looked at the giant dragon: "Are you ready? Let's go... This time I'm going to ask a very simple question, let's play rock-paper-scissors, the simplest game of human beings."

  Then, the old magician stretched out his hand and drew a rule. He smiled faintly: "To be honest, I think you can't win against me, so I've lowered the difficulty for you. Let's do ten rounds. In these ten rounds, as long as you can beat me once, it counts as your victory! Otherwise, you must let me pass."

  Result...

  The result is self-evident.

  Du Wei thought he was already very evil. Using the mathematical knowledge of his previous life to bully a dragon, he didn't expect this old guy to be even more despicable than himself!

  Scissors, Rock, Paper?

  Du Wei burst out laughing.

  The dragon's claws have only two fingers! Two!

  Either it sticks out its finger as scissors. Or it clenches its fingers into a fist as rock. Anyway, it will never be able to play "cloth".

  The old magician didn't want to win either, and with one breath he spat out ten stones, which made the dragon roar loudly.

  "Hey! We've won twice already! You should open this door and let us in!" Du Wei shouted.

  The giant dragon sighed helplessly, then its massive body moved to the edge of the iron gate. It forcefully turned the winch, and a thick "clunking" sound came from it. The chain rotated, and the iron gate slowly rose...

  "Go on in!" The giant dragon looked at the old magician and Du Wei with a reluctant gaze: "Next time! Next time I won't lose to you again! I'll ask the clan leader, I want to go to the human world to learn wisdom!"

  Du Wei and others walked through the iron gate, and behind them, the violent voice of that giant dragon still came from time to time.

  "That guy is the first warrior of the dragon tribe. He just likes to cause some trouble." The old magician smiled: "Last time I came here, I teased him a bit, but it was quite interesting."

  "I think it's quite cute." Du Wei shrugged: "But compared to the dragon tribe and humans, its brain doesn't seem to be very useful."

  "It's just a joke," the old magician said with a smile. "Even if it really doesn't let us in, the clan leader will still see us in the end. However, we'd better be polite to that guy, although it likes to cause trouble, its strength is absolutely formidable. If you want to deal with the dragon clan in the future, it's best to humor it a bit."

  "What's next?" Du Wei frowned.

  But the old magician didn't continue speaking.

  After passing through the iron gate, the cave went all the way down.

  On both sides of the cave, there were countless small crevices on the mountain wall. The crevices sparkled with treasures, and it was unknown how many treasures were hidden inside. Du Wei sighed, it seemed that the dragon tribe's habit of liking these shiny things was true after all.

  The width of the cave is getting smaller and narrower as you go deeper. After reaching the end, coming out from the passage, I found myself in a large, domed hall-like place.

  Compared to human architecture, this great hall was much more humble, even more humble than Medusa's former palace. In this bare and empty cave, the sky was not visible overhead, and the walls around were inlaid with colorful gems.

  But what surprised Du Wei was that in the center of this grand hall, there was a chair! Its size was roughly the same as that of humans.

  In the chair, a guy was sitting. This was an incarnation of a man, his body had no difference with ordinary human beings, and his face was full of beards, and there were no decorations on his body, just a simple robe.

  The only thing that could reveal its dragon identity was the two long horns protruding from its head... However, what surprised Du Wei was that one of the horns had been cut off halfway, as if it had been chopped off by something.

  "This robe was still given to him by me." The old magician whispered a sentence in Du Wei's ear, then burst out laughing and strode forward with open arms: "Old friend, after two hundred years, we finally meet!"

  The dragon tribe's leader, however, was not as thrilled as the old wizard. He let out a helpless hum and stood up from his chair, yawning: "Sigh, I've seen you again, this guy. The days here are so dull, but being able to see someone as interesting as you is at least something good. Alright, tell me, what interesting news have you brought with your visit this time?"

  This dragon that had transformed into a human walked up to him, but Du Wei was unable to sense any aura from its body... not even the oppressive might of the dragon clan towards humans!

  It seems like a guy with no power at all, but as soon as you use your senses to explore it, you'll find that its aura is as deep as the ocean! You won't be able to sense anything.

  Even its appearance is very ordinary, if it weren't for the pair of horns on top of its head, it would almost seem like a most ordinary human being. There's nothing eye-catching about it at all.

  Even its eyes were dull and lifeless, with drooping eyelids. A listless appearance.

  Du Wei didn't have the bad habit of judging people by their appearance, but seeing such an ordinary old man who was almost vulgar, yet he was the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, this psychological gap, still couldn't help but reveal it.

  "Old friend." The old magician coughed: "My visit this time... is to fulfill a contract of the Dragon Clan... I have found the person who can open that secret room!"

  Upon hearing this, the dragon tribe's chief's drooping eyelids twitched downward, and a strange light flashed in his eyes! Immediately, his gaze fell on Du Wei and others behind the old magician.

  Then it laughed, but the laughter was somewhat strange: "Oh? You found it? Is it one of your companions who brought you here? Is it this beautiful Queen Medusa? Or is it this proud Holy Knight? Oh. Let me see... Could it be this young boy?"

  This ordinary sentence made Du Wei immediately dare not underestimate the patriarch of this dragon clan again!

  It seems that with just one glance, he saw through Medusa's true identity! And even saw through Hussein's real strength!

  The old magician paused for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Du Wei: "Come here."

  Du Wei took a few steps forward, and the Dragon Clan's patriarch sized him up with an eye that held a hint of curiosity: "Oh, this noble young man is the one you found? Indeed, there is a demonic aura on his body. However, his strength is too weak... Are you certain he can pull out what Aragon left behind?"

  The dragon tribe leader sized up Du Wei at that time, and the gaze made Du Wei very uncomfortable. This guy's eyes seemed ordinary, but Du Wei felt as if he was standing naked in front of him... Just one glance, it seemed like he had already seen through himself completely!

  "Alright! I'll go get the 'key'. But if it still can't open the door this time, then you should understand the consequences." The dragon tribe leader said calmly.

  Then, it completely ignored everyone. It turned around and left, just behind the main hall. It casually walked into a passageway from one of the many cave entrances.

  The old magician waited until the dragon clan leader left, then turned around and looked at Du Wei seriously: "What's wrong with you? You seem to be distracted."

  Du Wei didn't say anything.

  The old magician took a deep breath: "Is it the appearance of this dragon clan leader that makes you somewhat disappointed? Does he not look like a dragon clan leader at all?"

  Du Wei thought for a moment: "I just think it's strange."

  "Put away your strange thing!" The old magician's tone was stern: "Du Wei, I hope you... no, not hope, demand! I demand that when facing it, you must maintain a few points of respect! I am not joking, because it is not a good fellow to provoke!"

  Du Wei immediately nodded: "Of course, the patriarch of the dragon clan, how could he be a good person to mess with, I understand."

  "It's better if you understand." The old magician turned his head to glance at the entrance of the cave where the dragon tribe leader had walked in, then said in a low voice: "I have to tell you, this guy is a madman. Don't think it has a good temper. If it turns its face, no one can suppress it, at least not here! And this guy really dislikes humans, we'd better not provoke it."

  The old magician paused for a moment and then said: "Did you see the horns on its head? One of them is broken."

  Du Wei nodded, and Hussein also nodded slightly.

  "That was cut off by Aragon!" The old magician said coldly, "But what I want to tell you is that it's probably the only one in this world that has ever fought against Aragon and is still alive! Moreover, even Aragon's strength back then couldn't kill it! It's a strange guy, if it turns its face, no one can suppress it, at least not here!"
