Chapter 36 Humans, you are seeking your own death! (6000 words)

Theodore, human, a mage from Twilight Plain, is forty-seven years old, looks ordinary and has a dull personality. Currently, he is a teacher at the Northland Winter Fort College. . The fastest update

The Twilight Plain is located in the southeast of the empire, bordering the central Black Forest. It has many rivers and swamps. It is filled with thick mist all year round, and sometimes even light cannot penetrate it. Therefore, it is named Twilight. Legend has it that there is an ancient dragon there. It is precisely because of the power of the ancient dragon that the Twilight Plain is covered with wet darkness all day long.

As a normal person living in such a difficult environment, Theodore has always dreamed of leaving this ghost place since he was a child and going to see a wider and more free world outside.

Perhaps it was because of the ancestor's mercy, and his dream was soon realized. Because he was detected to have the talent to become a mage, the dull and brunette boy was selected as a disciple by an imperial wizard traveling around the world. Then, with the blessings of relatives and friends, he left the suppressed land and came to the center of the empire, the imperial capital, and the holy city of the Three Mountains.

That period of time was perhaps his happiest time, not only because he was able to learn magical spells, but more because he could see this clear world without fog.

But the good times did not last long because of the war with the orcs, he enlisted in the army with his mentor, and then the mentor died on the battlefield.

This is so sudden, but it is also normal... War always kills people. Theodore originally felt that he was ready, but when this happened, he still felt a little confused. Such a weak self became angry like a breath of breath, while the gentle and powerful mentor died in a raid.

The war was over, but the mage apprentice who had no mentor, relied on self-study and was at most a wild mage in his life. Theodore, who had originally just wanted to leave his depressing hometown, now has truly fallen in love with magic, and he can't stand the fact that he can only be a layman.

So, he used his decisiveness that he had only once in his life to resolutely find his mentor's former comrade, Nostradamus, the leader of the Imperial Mage Brigade, to express his desire to continue learning magic.

This was a gambling, but he won the bet. For the sake of his comrade who had left, the old mage took Theodore as a registered disciple, and taught him magic like a real tutor.

In order to repay this kindness, no matter what Nochardamas wants to do, Theodore will support him unconditionally. Even this time, the old mage asked him to give up his association's work, leave the comfortable imperial capital, and come to the cold and wild northern border. He agreed without hesitation.

But now, he regrets it a little.

"The weather in this ghost place is as bad as my hometown!"

Standing at the gate of Winter Fort College and looking at the foot of the mountain from afar, Theodore rubbed his hands and his face became more dull: "No, worse!"

The Arctic Ice Field at the border has a harsh environment, which is even worse than the Twilight Plain. Theodore was shocked to find that even in summer, there will be occasional snowfall and the temperature remains below zero. The Winter Fort College is located on the hillside of the Nissie Snow Mountain. The body temperature is even colder than the surface. He will wear a three-layer cotton jacket when he goes out unless he wears a [Environmental Adaptation] spell.

Many people from Twilight Plain call the gloomy and cold feeling of winter in their hometown a magical damage. Theodore has always been deeply convinced. In his opinion, the temperature of the winter in the imperial capital in the middle is nothing special, and no matter how cold the north is, it is just that. But now, he understands that the biting cold on the snowy mountains is real damage, and no matter how much clothes he wears, he can't resist it.

Not far away, there was a sound of play. The brown-haired mage turned around and saw many teenage children playing in the woods near the academy.

These children were only wearing thin apprentice robes, slid around in the ice and snow, and could not see any signs of coldness. They were all middle school students of Winter Castle College. Now it is time to rest and relax and come out to breathe.

"Are children in the North? All the children are monsters..."

Theodore subconsciously tightened his robe, then shook his head and muttered.

"Teacher Theodore!"

Suddenly, a young boy's voice full of energy came from behind the brown-haired mage. He immediately turned his head to look, and then saw a pair of young girls with platinum hair and gray pupils walking quickly from the entrance of the college.

The boy was led by the boy. He was carrying a huge iron box in his hand, which was silver-gray on it, and was carved with magic patterns with flowing light. It looked very heavy, but the boy with a hunter's braid lifted it up effortlessly, and behind him, the girl with a ponytail also held the same box in her hand, which looked effortless.

"Thank you, Ivan, Amira."

Theodore took the two silver boxes in the other party's hand. He sensed the things contained in it with his spirit, then nodded, and said gently: "Please help me during the rest time, what reward do you want?"

"I think……"

The boy named Ivan looked straightforward. After hearing the words of the brown-haired mage, he immediately prepared to speak, but the girl behind him kicked him neatly, then grabbed the boy's back collar and muttered something softly.

"Thank you, Teacher Theodore! It's okay to help the teacher a little bit, but my sister and I have read the books that we have made public recently, so..."

"I want to borrow books from the inner warehouse of the big library, right?"

Before Ivan could repeat what his sister asked him to say, Theodore smiled and shook his head, then took out a note and a pen from his robe: "You have helped me so diligently recently, how could I not know what you want... take it."

Swishu signed a signature of dragon and phoenix dance on the note, followed by a line of small words "permitted". The brown-haired mage handed the note to the young girl with joy on her face, and then said softly: "Ivan, Amira, you two siblings are the hardest of all students, but you should also pay attention to rest occasionally and not always read books. The most important thing for the mage is to use knowledge, not to learn knowledge by silly. You should go out more and apply it in practice."

"The books in the Neiku are quite profound and difficult. Although I am a researcher of magical creatures, I have also been involved in other disciplines. If you have any questions you don't understand, you can ask me."

"Well, I got it, thank you Teacher Theodore!"

Since Amira doesn't seem to like talking, her foreign exchanges have always been done by her carefree brother Ivandailao, who got the book loan license he had always dreamed of. Both brothers and sisters were very happy. The brother grinned and chuckled, while the sister was very ladylike.

There was not much rest time, and the brother and sister quickly said goodbye. Theodore held two huge metal boxes and looked at the two of them leaving behind, with a little smile in his eyes and a hint of meditation.

Ivan and Amira, the hardest brother and sister in the entire Winter Castle Academy, are far superior to him. In time, they will definitely be able to advance to the golden realm in the future, and it is not impossible for even the Jiyi.

Because of this, the mage teachers in the entire college treated her very favorably, and she did not treat this favor unfairly. Whether it is academic performance or practical operation, she is the well-deserved first in the entire college.

Although her brother, Ivan, although his talent is not as good as his sister, is considered excellent, and hidden under his carefree appearance is an unswerving heart.

When encountering problems that I don’t understand, Ivan will ask his classmates and teachers without hesitation. He can’t find them for a while, and he will take the initiative to read the classics and study them himself. Moreover, he has unexpected talents in magical machinery and magical creatures, and Theodore even wants to take them as his disciple.

If this were not the case, he would not be so tolerant of these two children.

"I heard that their parents died in the Crazy Dragon attack last year, and the entire village was burned to death by dragon flames. The dragon slaying lord slayed the dragon because of this, but after all, the dead have passed away and will not come back."

He murmured to himself gently, Theodore thought: "Although he looks cheerful on the surface, but in fact he is still full of hatred... Hatred can be regarded as a driving force, but letting this emotion take root and sprout will definitely have hidden dangers in the future."

The experienced brunette mage can certainly see the little thoughts hidden under the appearance of the young girls. Both of them have extra interest in dragons, and Theodore even suspects that the reason why these two brothers and sisters chose him to please is probably because they are teachers who study magic creatures, and they are still working on a topic about dragons recently.

But no matter what, Theodore doesn't care about such things at all. He is even very happy because it means that his ability has been recognized. He has been so smart since childhood and knows how to prepare for the future dragon slaying. The two brothers and sisters will definitely make great achievements in the future.

But now, it's time to work.

He weighed the silver iron box in his hands, and the brown-haired mage took a deep breath. Then, he carried the two iron boxes painted with magic runes, and had no way to use teleportation or other spells to help transport them, and walked towards the ice lake at the foot of the mountain.

As mentioned before, Theodore was a mage who studied magical creatures, commonly known as a biologist. In ancient times, his type of mage was called Mage Che. Through contracts and self-transformation, he had the ability to use magical beasts and use spells. However, now, self-transformation has been listed as a taboo magic by major countries, especially the Seven Gods Church, so Mage Che gradually focused more on contracts and cultivating monsters, sharing power and life.

Theodore's mentor is a famous wizard. His group helped the Delmond royal family reach a contract with a Fire Prison Dragon hundreds of years ago, which is the ancestor of the giant dragon under the seat of Isreal Delmond. His most franchising goal of this group is to contract with a giant dragon and become a dragon wizard.

But how proud are the dragons? How could they contract with an ordinary mage? An adult dragon, except for the most powerful humans, who use force to suppress them, would never be able to obey other people's orders.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to contract with the adult dragon. After several attempts and almost being beaten to death, Theodore gave up on this idea and turned to find his own opportunity to cultivate the dragon.

This should actually be a more impossible thing than a contract with an adult dragon, because if you want to cultivate a dragon by yourself, you must start with the dragon egg. The dragon's attention to the egg has long reached a point of being crazy. You must know that all dragons are solitary, and they are extremely disgusted with shared territory with their similar ones. However, in order to take care of the dragon egg more safely, many dragons still build dragon nests and take care of them in groups.

The dragon egg has such power that he can make the dragon without any restraint suppress his nature. After more than ten years of attempts, Theodore discovered desperately that he practiced magic, made himself an extremely mental master, and then forced a dragon to contract, which would be a little higher than it is now. Over the years, he had already reached the pinnacle of changes and elemental magic in order to get close to the dragon's nest. On the contrary, the original contract of this system has not made any progress.

Being invited to Winter Castle as a teacher was actually a sign of disheartening expression of Theodore. He no longer had hope for himself to go further. Anyway, the Golden Level is fully capable and is also a respected professor. Why bother to oppose Dragon?

But it seemed to be favored by luck. One day, the brunette mage suddenly learned that Joshua van Radcliff, the owner of Moldavia, the honorary principal of this academy, and the famous dragon slayer, actually collected a large number of dragon eggs in his hand! He also sent the dragon eggs to the academy as an experimental sample!

"What kind of luck is this!"

Years of struggle are not as lucky as dogs. When Theodore saw the dragon egg he had always dreamed of, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Since Theodor was the only one who had a deep study of dragons and could take care of dragon eggs, Nostradamus immediately appointed him to keep the dragon eggs. The brown-haired mage also knew that these dragon eggs actually did not belong to him, and they might not be able to hatch young dragons, so he used the secret technique he learned to teach his own mentor but had basically never used it, and kept taking care of these dragon eggs carefully.

It seemed as if the apostle protected by the truth, the dragon egg had a clear reaction to hatch less than a month later.

After discovering this news, Theodore immediately exclaimed the truth. He did not learn this technique wrongly, and it was really useful. You must know that if something went wrong with the Dragon Egg, if there was no need for Joshua and Nostradamus to punish him, the brunette mage would probably commit suicide himself and simply cut off his boring life.

The coldness of the snow-capped mountains came from all directions, but Theodore's consciousness became more awake. He wrapped his leather robe tightly and blessed him with an elemental protection. Suddenly, a warm feeling enveloped his whole body, and the brown-haired mage continued to walk towards the snow-capped lake.

In fact, the hatching of dragons, especially those that can be used by humans, is a very fine step.

It has many conditions to make the newborn young dragon approach humans and regard humans as their kind, and does not have a sense of identity with the dragon. There are very few people who know how to hatch dragon eggs, and even fewer people who know how to make young dragons approach humans, but just so happens that Theodore knows it.

That's why he realized that it was time to go to the forefront.

There are indeed many methods, but most of them cannot be completed immediately. Whether it is the subtle brainwashing array or the Dragon Contract, they cannot be done in a short while. It is too late to start casting spells on dragon eggs now, so that they have a sense of identity with humans. They can only be cultivated after all.

The brown-haired mage currently has only one choice, which is to let a giant dragon close to humans take care of these young dragons. In this way, under the influence of the same kind, the young dragon will naturally imitate and get close to humans.

Thanks to the Truth, the lord here, the master of the Dragon Egg, Joshua van Radcliffe happened to be a dragon knight, and the lake in Nissie happens to be his dragon's habitat.

Hei, the name of the dragon, although it seems to be just a half dragon or a fire dragon, this is enough. After all, how could the young dragon care about the attributes of his elders? Anyway, all Theodore wants is leadership, and he knows how to cultivate a giant dragon.

For this reason, he specifically asked the college to send an urgent letter to Joshua. Because he was too excited when writing the letter, his handwriting was sloppy and his speech order was chaotic, Theodore doubted whether the other party could understand it, but no matter what, the meaning must have been conveyed.

Unable to wait for the other party to agree, the brown-haired mage was ready to start the action. Some dragon eggs could hatch at any time, and every second was a hidden danger. Even if he was punished for this unannounced action in the future, he was willing to do so.

Walking through the winding ice road of the snow-capped mountains and passing through the lush cold pine forests, Theodore finally arrived at the ice lake at the foot of the Nissie Snow Mountain.

The ice lake was constantly releasing cold magic. This obscure fluctuation was difficult for even the golden-level mage to notice, but Theodore was able to do so. This was his talent and the reason why he was chosen as a disciple by his mentor. He was even able to communicate with other creatures with this keen perception.

Putting down the two big boxes containing the dragon eggs in his hand, the brown-haired mage moved his hands and feet. Since he had been on the battlefield and had walked through countless evil mountains in order to find the dragon and the dragon eggs, Theodor had good physical fitness. Even this metal box covered with magic runes could easily be used. He rested for a while and then prepared.

"black!"

He shouted at the Binghu in a familiar way, and the magic power controlled the sound, so that the sound waves did not spread to the outside, but were transmitted underwater: "It's me, Theodore, who usually delivers food to you, I have something to do with you now!"

After saying that, the brown-haired mage did not make a second cry. He knew that the other party must have heard his voice. According to past experience, the convenience will appear soon.

As expected.

Not far away, a large number of bubbles suddenly began to appear above the cold lake water. The trajectory of the bubble swam quickly towards the lake shore, and a huge black shadow gradually appeared under the water, revealing the huge figure of its owner.

As the shadow approached, Theodore felt the fire element that had been stagnant due to the cold began to cheer, and the consequence was that the temperature rose rapidly, making people feel as if they were in a stove.

The black shadow came to the shore and then slowly rose. A huge dragon appeared from the water with the surging boiling water splashes and the violently rising white mist.

This is a ferocious beast with a slender body, full of elegance and danger beauty. Its body is covered with thick black shells. On both sides of its body there are pairs of wings that seem to have not yet fully developed. They are covered with dangerous bone spines. Under the shell, you can vaguely see the golden red veins that are as beautiful as the naked eye.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the chest of this giant beast, which seemed to be as dazzling as the sun, inlaid on it, releasing an incredible high heat.

"roar!"

What's the matter, Theodore, are you going to give me a meal?

Hei, who was swimming at the bottom of the lake before, looked at the brown-haired mage with his dark golden eyes. This human being is very familiar with him. He usually delivers food to himself, and he is one of the few people who can understand it, so Hei also joked.

I ate ice shrimp last time. This time I want cod, don’t use beef and mutton to fool me. I’m tired of eating it!

"No, black, you had breakfast once not long ago, and it wasn't the season for cod fishing, so where can I give you the portion... This time I have something to ask you."

He lifted the silver metal box in his hand, Theodore said excitedly: "Friend, I want to ask you to help hatch these dragon eggs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the brown-haired mage suddenly felt something was wrong. Hei, who had originally looked a little good, suddenly became silent, and he quickly noticed this.

Wait, what did you say just now?

"Friend, please stop! I mean..."

Because the excitement had been made before, Theodore noticed that he seemed to be a little proud and the brown-haired mage immediately spoke in horror to explain, but it was obvious that it was too late.

"roar!!!!"

The dark golden dragon's eyes suddenly opened wide, and the earth-shaking roar shook the atmosphere. The hot wind whistled out of the dragon's mouth, instantly submerging the brown-haired mage's body.

Theodore, I never knew you were such a shameless person!!!

It seemed like a symbol of fury, and the red pattern began to spread on the black carapace. The light at the core of its chest became more and more dazzling, and finally became as unseen as the sun. It stepped onto the earth heavily, vibrating the entire cold pine forest. Half-dragon stretched his head to the brown-haired mage, then opened its big mouth and let out an angry roar.

I don't have a spouse yet, but now you want me to hatch the dragon egg?! Do you really know what you are talking about? Stupid mage!
