Chapter 164: Strive to Exhaust the Magma Dragon!
Lin Ke and Heshan talked for a long time, Heshan went from being surprised to shocked to respectful and finally to worshipful.
How incredible!
Heshan felt a rush of euphoria.
The feedback from the [Merchant] came in waves, crashing against her reason, and that kind of thrill made her want to scream out loud.
But she thought it would be very unseemly, after all, her sturdy frame might make her screams sound like the howling of a black-backed gorilla, so Heshan held her voice inside.
So much so that when she emerged, she was feeling quite dizzy.
Getting into the car and on the road, she sighed with relief, which puzzled the attendants around her.
On Lin Ke's side, after Heshan left, he felt like he still wanted more.
If only he could directly create a financial system!
However, after talking about accounting, he realized there was another system that needed to be established, which was the tax and legal system.
Although Azanen had a tax system, it was not complete enough.
But all of this was for later; today, Lin Ke still had one more thing to deal with.
"Come out, Magma Dragon Magnalos." Lin Ke threw the amber on the ground and dripped a drop of blood on it.
This was the way to summon, using blood for summoning.
"Noble... ahem, little fellow, are you a descendant of Swain? I was a friend of your ancestor, and I have specially partitioned a wisp of dragon soul to teach and assist you; you can call me teacher."
The voice of Magma Dragon Magnalos was majestic, and the small dragon soul tried its best to spread its wings to make itself seem larger.
Lin Ke found it amusing internally, but outwardly, he pretended to be naive and asked, "But my teacher told me that my teacher's teacher, that is, my ancestor, ordered you to be my slave, ah! Is that not the case? Should I summon my ancestor to ask?"
"No, no, no!" Magnalos fluttered down frantically, its face transitioning to a fawning expression: "Such trivial matters should not trouble his honor, what's your name, young master? I see the young master is very smart indeed! Hmm, a fourth-level professional, very impressive!"
As Magnalos spoke, the words of flattery turned to genuine astonishment.
She could feel Lin Ke's soul was very young, about five or six years old, yet he was already at such a high level?
"What is your profession? What's your bloodline? What professions do you know? Tell me all about them, oh right, just call me Lin Ke."
Lin Ke sat in place, his hands placed lightly on the desk, looking natural and at ease.
The Magma Dragon sensed Lin Ke's composure and also sensed a powerful and turbulent aura of thunder at the top of this human castle locking onto her, so she naturally behaved obediently.
That legendary aura was undoubtedly Ove, and as for the child in front of her, he must be the excellent descendant of an even more powerful legend.
Since she had become someone else's slave, the Magma Dragon could not break the rules of the contract.
If she did, she wouldn't even get past the legendary figure above.
"I am named Magnalos; my bloodline is 'Scalding Boulder,' profession? My profession is [Knight]." Magnalos landed on Lin Ke's desk and sat down, looking very "dignified."
"[Knight]?" Lin Ke raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure it's... [Knight]?"
Why did he feel that Magnalos should be a [Mount] instead?
Feeling Lin Ke's gaze, Magnalos flared up — or rather, flared scales.
"A [Knight] can be ridden by more than just life! Wind, magma, elements... even the law can become our mount! That's what a [Knight] is!"
Magnalos growled low.
"Alright, alright, Miss Mage, then may I ask what skills you know?"
Lin Ke paid no mind to Magnalos' draconic prestige; his concern was that he happened to have an unconstructed slot for a [Knight] skill right now.
"Mage? I am Magnalos!" Magnalos roared.
Like someone named Zhang Cuihua having her name seen as 'Bow Long Yu Soldier Grass Hua,' then being called Miss Bow; it's weird.
"Ahem, but... I really am just a young dragon, um... you can just call me Sister Mage." Magnalos, with a turn of the eyes, spoke softly.
It seems that being conscious of age is a common trait among all female creatures... Lin Ke thought for a moment: "Alright, from now on I'll call you Sister Mage."
That long name is cumbersome to call anyway.
Just as Magnalos was about to cause trouble, she saw Lin Ke's cold gaze and thought it would be unlucky, so she spoke flatteringly:
"Little Brother Lin Ke, what skill would you like to learn? I have 'Magma Surfing', 'Fiery Strike', 'Rage of the Fire Element'... all these are skills suitable for a [Knight]!"
Listening to Magnalos' skills, Lin Ke felt that these skills were all inclined towards fire.
But for a [Knight], Lin Ke wanted skills that could eventually be combined, or skills that had a wider range of utility.
There's a difference between knowing how to fight and only knowing how to fight.
For instance, with the atmospheric pressure shield, after Lin Ke constructed this skill, its application was no longer just a shield; it could also serve as a flank during a charge, or a blade.
If a skill can only be used in combat, that's undoubtedly too limited.
"Hmm, carefully tell me about your skills, from your first skill at level two to the skills you have now, explain them all clearly." Lin Ke smiled as he looked at Magnalos.
"€@&%..." Magnalos cursed in dragon language, then knocked her head with a hand: "I feel like dying."
Lin Ke: ◠‿◠
Are you sure?
"No, nothing useful, I was just ranting! This dragon soul state indeed affects my thoughts; where was I just now, oh yes, talking about this magma surfing..."
Magnalos, with a grin and grin, began to explain her skills to Lin Ke.
A sparkle of amusement flashed in Lin Ke's eyes; if this Magma Dragon were not afraid of dying, it would not have carved a resurrection inscription on its dragon body, nor would it have accepted its fate and become a slave.
However, Magnalos now seemed somewhat insincere, or perhaps not wholeheartedly wanting to teach Lin Ke.
Lin Ke naturally also heard the insincerity, so first, he ordered a cup of peach milk tea, then, looking at the pretending-to-teach-wisely Magnalos, he said, "You want to resurrect, right?"
The boasting-about-her-former-superior Magnalos suddenly froze.
"Whether you are earnest or not, I can feel it." Lin Ke slightly shook his head: "In the future, I will certainly be a legend, and I hope you all respect me."
Respect your mom's respect... Magnalos was just speechless towards the ordinary yet confident child in front of her.
What does your becoming a legend have to do with me?
Respect a ghost, huh.
However... resurrection?
Lin Ke interpreted Magnalos' expression and then continued: "If possible, of course, I will help you resurrect."
This part, Magnalos actually believed.
Because a legend like Lin Ke's ancestor probably had a way to resurrect her.
So...
"As you wish."
