Chapter 16: Why are you so weak?
”This….. Have I offended you, your excellency? Since I ca to this island, I have never done anything evil… Besides, it’s not that I don’t want to leave this island. In fact, I have always been hoping to leave. It’s just that the island is surrounded by the sea and I don’t know how far away it’s from the continent, so I don’t dare to leave.” Jones explained nervously.
”The other two humans were able to reach this island due to you. If you didn’t bring them, my younger siblings wouldn’t have died. However, I didn’t expect mages to be so weak. You don’t even have the ability to leave this island. Are all other mages as weak as you?”
There was a hint of disdain in the corner of Shillong’s eyes. Unexpectedly, the mages he was so curious about turned out to be so weak.
He even used such a trap to kill a two ters long leopard. One of the weakest creatures on this island.
To deal with this level of creatures, shouldn’t the mysterious mages use a random spell to instantly obliterate them?
’He actually used traps? I never thought that mages are actually this weak! Even Arman just needs a slap to kill that leopard!’
Shillong thought inwardly.
However, he actually wronged Jones. Shillong’s cognition is actually because of his ignorance of the world.
In this world, mages need to reach the magic master level in order to casually fight using spells.
Most spells need quite a lot of ti to use, so weaker mages either use magic scrolls to buy themselves ti or bring warriors with them as guards.
Most Mages aren’t very effective in one to one fights, they are a profession that needs to rely on groups and environntal intelligence to defeat their enemies.
Their advantage lies in their diverse magic and high destructive power. Mages have the highest destructive ability and versatility out of all professions, but they have a plethora of disadvantages.
Before reaching the magic master rank, magic chants are their fatal weakness.
High-level warriors won’t give them ti to cast magic!
”Weak…weak?” Jones heard Shillong’s evaluation and really wanted to fight with him imdiately. He really wished to show this ignorant guy the ‘Weakness’ of mages!
But he didn’t dare!
His face was flushed red, but he still restrained himself and said through gritted teeth.
”Compared to true dragons, I might be a little weak, but in human society, I am already a master-level mage! Enough to enjoy a noble-level treatnt!”
”It turns out that humans in this world are so weak…” Shillong sighed and said.
Shillong is glad that he was reincarnated as a dragon. If he was reincarnated as a normal human, then with his lazy character, not to ntion becoming a powerful warrior, he must just beco cannon fodder.
Even if he tries hard to beco stronger, he might just end up as a weak chicken like this old man…
”Your Excellency! We humans are not weak! The outside world is almost entirely dominated by humans! Our human kingdoms have hundreds of millions of people and millions of soldiers! We might be weak individually, but banding together, no creature dares to cross our path. Not to ntion that we have our own legendary level powerhouses!” The old mage angrily retorted.
”Oh~ it doesn’t matter, my mother asked to kill you if I find you, but you know what, I actually don’t want to kill you.” Shillong stared at Jones and said.
”Thank you for your kindness! You must be a benevolent dragon with a clear distinction between good and evil, so you won’t attack innocent people like .” Jones breathed a sigh of relief and quickly started flattering the dragon in front of him.
If this dragon really wants to kill him, he doesn’t have the ability to resist.
”By the way, you said that you are a master magician, so you should be considered powerful among humans, right?”
”It’s not that I’m bragging. Before I ca here, I was the chief magician of the earl. I still have so reputation in the magic world.” Jones gently stroked his goatee, sowhat proud.
”That’s good, although I still think that your strength is sowhat low, but depending on your age, since your strength is good among humans, you must have rich experience. I have a question for you now.”
”You…” Jones felt his brows twitching every ti Shillong said that he was weak. He wanted to refute every ti, but he still held himself in the end.
”Your Excellency, ask whatever you want, I will tell you everything I know.”
”Hmm…do you know? Silver Dragons have inherited mories from the mont they are born. These mories contain very rich magical knowledge. This knowledge should be like an instinct. All dragons should automatically master it upon reaching a certain age, but my case seems to be different.” Shillong said with a look of distress.
“I’m unable to use the spells in my mory at all. Don’t talk about water and ice spells, I can’t even use simple spells like the mage hand and the transformation spell” He took a deep breath and continued to describe his situation.
It’s a pity that he can’t use water and ice spells but they’re not necessary. The most important thing is the transformation spell.
When he travels to the continent in the future, he can’t always stay in this form?
That will be too intimidating and condescending. Not to ntion the trouble this will bring him.
It won’t be easy to communicate with humans, elves, and other intelligent races
What if he encounters so lunatic looking for the honor of slaying a dragon?
Only by mastering the transformation ability will he be able to confidently walk all over the main continents.
”Your Excellency…” After hearing Shillong’s words, Jones said with a dazed look on his face. “I didn’t hear it wrong, did I? You’re a silver dragon?!”
”Yes, my mother is a silver dragon.”
”What about your father? Your appearance should be inherited from your father, right? You should have also got the inherited mories from his clan, not the silver dragon clan?” Jones looked puzzled.
”My father is also a silver dragon. Although I haven’t seen him, that’s what my mother said.”
”Are you sure your mother didn’t joke with you?”
”My younger brothers and sisters are all silver dragons. My mother said that I am a mutant dragon. Do you know mutant dragons?”
”Mutant dragon? I have heard of this term before, but didn’t understand it at the ti.”
”It doesn’t matter! I’m not here to discuss with you the particularity of my race, but my inability to use spells!”
”Okay! Your Excellency!” Jones said respectfully: “To be honest, I have been studying magic for over 50 years. I probably understand your problem. Looking at your fiery breath, and the heat your body is releasing, your dragon breath type should be fire?”
”Yes.” Shillong nodded.
”You aren’t a normal fire-type creature, the concentration of fire elent in your body should exceed 90%” Jones stroked his silver goatee.
”You should know this, but I will go over it once. Magic is divided into five main elents. Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, and Earth. All living creatures, with few exceptions of course, like the elental family, will have a certain concentration of these five elental attributes in their body. The amount and concentration of these elents in each living creature’s body affect the casting process.”
”I know that the main attribute of the silver dragon clan is ice, which is a subcategory of the water attribute. The ice attribute in a silver dragon’s body accounts for more than 90%.”
“You got the inheritance mory of the silver dragon clan, which is very different from your own natural elent. Naturally, trying to use a spell from the ice system won’t work or even cause a conflict with the fire elent in your body.”
”The problem that bothered for so long turned out to have such a simple answer…” Shillong was very surprised and speechless.
”Such a simple problem and mom couldn’t even find it…Even a weak human mage could answer it, Tsk… I have to tell her to go out more.”
Jones. “………”
After staring at Shillong silently for a long ti, Jones took a breath and barely managed to hold the insult that almost slipped from his mouth.
”Your Excellency! Although you and your mother are powerful true dragons. It’s because of your inherently high strength that you have no desire to learn. We, humans, love learning because of our natural weakness. We have gained enough knowledge in the process of learning. When it cos to magical knowledge, I think I know more than your mother!”
