NOVEL NEXT Chapter 187 The third month-end settlement
The next day, Ian personally fed the black dragon Ion dog milk as usual.
But unfortunately, although Ian was very active in cooking, he turned a blind eye to almost all of Ian's instructions, which made Ian wonder whether his feeding behavior was not effective.
"Zaldrīzes rbus, lo mērī udrirzi Valyrio Egliodrassua." Seeing that Ian failed to interact with the black dragon Ion several times, Daenerys finally couldn't help but said.
"What do you mean?" Ian was a little confused.
"Only if you speak High Valyrian will the dragons listen (understand your instructions)." Daenerys explained, and then asked, "You don't learn Valyrian from the priests of Cylia every day. Asian language? Why can’t you understand it at all?”
Maybe it's because I went riding a horse during class? "How many days have it been? Your Majesty," Ian sneered, "I have only learned some basic vocabulary." In fact, there are no basic vocabulary.
"Then why don't you let me teach you in the future? Viserys has told me many words for dragon training."
Although dragons have long been extinct, the Targaryen family's dragon training courses have not been interrupted. Perhaps they all hope that one day dragons will return.
However, you really never forget about teaching me foreign languages.
"If this is your Majesty's wish, I shall obey it." Ian agreed, because he now really felt the need to learn Valyrian.
He planned to use a basic skill scroll of his choice later to improve the basics of Valyrian, and then learn from Daenerys, which might save some skill points.
"How about we start now, just start with the basic instructions of how to train a dragon?" Daenerys didn't know why herself. She was very happy after getting a positive answer. Maybe she could become Ian's teacher on a certain issue. It must be a very fulfilling thing for her.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Daenerys, Ian started today's basic course of learning foreign languages and training dragons.
The study lasted until dusk, and Ian returned to his room in the cabin early after finishing his meal.
Judging from the results of dragon training, when I gave orders to Ion in Valyrian, its response was obviously relatively positive, but compared with its obedience to Daenerys' instructions, it was much worse. .
Based on this, Ian's preliminary conclusion is that the effect of breastfeeding the black dragon is not bad. Although it does not regard itself as its mother, it at least treats itself as a wet nurse. Otherwise, it is unlikely that it will treat a person without Valyrian blood. Give feedback on the command.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Ion was just born and basically didn't have much self-awareness.
After the dragon grows up a little, it won't be so easy to command it. For example, in the original book, the three-year-old Drogon even rebelled so much that he flew away, and the dragon mother couldn't do anything about it.
The only way to truly effectively control a dragon is to become its dragon knight, but the damn system does not provide players with the blood of the Valyrian Dragon King at all, so this path is difficult to navigate on your own.
Similarly, if the player does not have the blood of the Dragon King, the NPC provided by the system will most likely not have it. Therefore, the only person Ian can trust to become a dragon knight is actually Daenerys.
As for trying to recruit people with the blood of the Valyrian Dragon King from the Free City to be dragon knights, it is impossible for Ian to do it anyway. During the Dance of the Blood Dragons, the rebellion of the two illegitimate dragon knights recruited by the Black Party It is a living lesson.
He would rather leave the remaining dragons without knights, or even hatch other dragons at all, rather than put such a strategic weapon in the hands of someone who cannot be trusted absolutely.
After a brief summary, Ian went to bed early, because today is the settlement day of the third month, and it is also the day of the main task three update. He needs to get up before dawn to sort out things related to the system. .
A few hours passed quickly. When Ian woke up, it was already early in the morning. Instead of sitting up, he lay on the bed and logged into the system.
The first email is yesterday's remaining player report. The number is still 27 and has not changed.
The second letter is last month’s settlement report:
[Congratulations to the player for ranking first in the standings on the settlement day of the third month
Players receive rewards: 20 points, 2888 gold dragons, 1 (in the area) S-level NPC of their choice]
Just as Ian thought before, the rewards on the points list are indeed increasing every month. This time there are 10 points and 1,000 gold dragons more than last month.
Although this reward no longer seems that important to Ian now, if this incremental reward can continue to accumulate, what will it be until half a year later, or even two years later?
Thinking of this, Ian suddenly didn't want the players to be eliminated too quickly.
After all, once the number of surviving players falls below 20, the standings mechanism will be cancelled, and you will no longer be able to get this stable monthly benefit.
Without any further entanglement, Ian directly clicked on the S-level NPC card drawing scroll.
Then I saw the three NPC career cards I got this time.
[Pirate King of Stone Step Islands: Strength 33-36, Agility 31-35, Mental Strength 0-6
Skills: Advanced swordsmanship, advanced throwing (handaxe and spear), navigation proficiency, random other skills
Equipment: long sword, throwing axe, chain mail shirt]
[Champion Gladiator of Meereen: Strength 35-38, Agility 32-35, Mental Strength 0-6
Random weapon mastery, random weapon advanced, random other skills
Equipment: random]
[Qohor Black Goat Temple Cavalry: Strength 32-40, Agility 28-35, Mental Strength 4-8
Skills: Advanced scimitar, advanced hammer, advanced riding, intermediate lance
Equipment: Qohor Scimitar, Mace, Qohor Black Goat Armor, Heavy War Horse]
Looking at the three cards, Ian began a simple analysis.
The first one is the Pirate King of the Stone Steps Islands. His name sounds quite scary, but from the data point of view, he can only be considered average among S-level NPCs.
Ian can probably guess the reason for this situation. There are too many 'pirate kings' on the Stepstone Islands.
Legend has it that the Stepstone Islands were once part of the Arm of Dorne, connecting Westeros and the continent of Essos. When the First Men invaded Westeros from the land bridge, the greenseers of the Children of the Forest used a powerful forbidden spell to shatter the Arm of Dorne, and the broken land bridge formed the Stepstone Islands.
No one has counted how many islands there are in the Stepstone Islands, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands, but only two of them have names: Bloodstone Island and Gray Gallows Island. On the Stone Step Islands, as long as you occupy a small island and have one or two ships in hand, you dare to call yourself the Pirate King.
But even though the so-called Pirate King is half as powerful, he is indeed a good choice for Ian now... Getting a pirate captain means that he can buy another ship before entering the Summer Sea to make it safer. Sailing eastward.
The second picture is the Champion Gladiator of Meereen. This thing is purely based on appearance. There are hundreds of arenas in Meereen. The difference in the gold content of the so-called champions is huge. For example, the Champion Gladiator of average strength, previously Ian and the others killed several people in the tournament in Pentos.
Although Ian has always been very European when it comes to card drawing, and the probability of picking up a super warrior by choosing this card is not small, at this stage, Ian believes that his demand for pure thugs is no longer high.
So he simply ruled out this option.
