Chapter 4 Where's Your Magic?
1118 Words
Hearing Winters' words, all five little dragons, including Vittoria, trembled!
Vittoria trembled the most!
This world was far too dangerous, much more dangerous than the world he remembered.
In that world, at most he'd be captured and taken to a research institute, tied to something called a walkie-talkie, and studied!
Considering he hadn't seen anything like himself in that world,
even if he were studied, he wouldn't be dissected.
Moreover, he'd most likely be protected as a rare species, of course, without displaying his power.
But here, the danger of being eaten the moment he left the dragon's lair!
Sure enough, this must be the world called the Savage Land, repeatedly mentioned in those novels he remembered!
So, there must be an evil being hiding somewhere in this world, plotting how to destroy it!
Furthermore, perhaps this place he was currently in, called the Dragon's Lair, had already been infiltrated by its minions.
According to the description in that online novel, if one were to think on the darker side, the strongest being in this dragon's lair might be the mastermind behind the world's destruction!
In that case, he might be groomed by the other party to wreak havoc on the world!
Escape the dragon's lair?
The moment this thought crossed his mind, Victor glanced down at his own body, which, including its tail, was less than two meters long, before looking at Winters' hundreds-of-meters-long body.
Alright!
This plan had to be abandoned!
If he remembered correctly, the other party's appearance was very similar to the red dragon from the Five Dragons in the online novel—a chaotic and evil creature!
As for why the other party wasn't as chaotic and evil as described in the online novel… please, that's online fiction, this is reality. Real dragons wouldn't reveal their full nature.
Perhaps, behind every gentle word the other party uttered lay extremely evil thoughts!
In that case, there was only one thing he could do!
While cautiously complying with the other party's demands, he simultaneously gathered strength, waiting for an opportunity to escape the dragon's lair!
What is this?
What was it again?
Damn it, when I have time later, I must thoroughly sort through the memories left by my father.
Speaking of which, are there humans in this world?
No!
Now is not the time to think about these things. I need to plan carefully, lest I betray myself before the plan is even implemented!
Thinking this, Vitt turned and looked at the other four little dragons with pity.
Poor fellows, completely ignorant of this world. You can just wait to become war soldiers for others to rule or even destroy the world!
Of course, if any of them catch his eye, he wouldn't mind having another helper!
Winters had no idea that his rather risqué joke had actually given Vitt a 20,000-word outline for escaping the dragon's lair!
Looking at the trembling little dragons, Winters chuckled (a sinister grin)!
"Alright, little ones, besides Witt, do you have any other questions?"
Then a claw was raised high.
"Witt, you don't need to raise your claw. Just ask directly!"
"What is the Desidero Dragon Nest?"
As he spoke, Witt looked at Winters expectantly, wanting to see if this five dragons, who had completely hidden their evil and chaos, could give him any useful information!
Winters, unaware of what was going on in Witt's head, looked at him with some surprise after hearing his question.
"Your learning ability is stronger than I imagined. I didn't expect you to remember the name after only mentioning it once. This way, I don't have to worry about you not having a lineage inheritance!
As for Desidero… you're still young. Just know that it's a great place!
As for what makes it so great, you'll naturally understand as you grow up!"
Tsk! Clicking his tongue inwardly, Vitt's apprehension towards the evil red dragon before him deepened!
Even they, newly hatched dragons, were treated with such suspicion.
As for the... well, it was probably brainwashing, uh... that's the word!
Of course, he only thought these things to himself, daring not to utter them aloud.
In his mind, if he spoke them aloud, the dragon, in its anger, would likely devour him whole. Disobedient dragons would only meet that fate!
Seeing the five dragons quiet down, Winters extended his claws and placed them flat on the ground.
"If you have no other questions, then climb up. What you newborns need most right now is a nest of your own!"
Hearing this, the other four dragons cheered, flapping their wings one after another, and flew onto Winters's claws!
Seeing this, even though he was extremely unwilling, Vit could only flap his wings and take flight. The next step was to jump, and then… *thud!*
Vit landed heavily on the ground, traveling a short distance before crashing into a protruding rock.
He rubbed his head, staring blankly at the rubble.
Winters, witnessing this, was visibly stunned.
Flying was a dragon's instinct. In all his years of "delivering babies," this was the first time he'd seen a baby dragon fail to take off, and even crash into a rock!
Okay, no… not that. What a stupid dragon!
The moment this thought crossed his mind, Winters quickly banished it!
Every baby dragon was Desiderro's future; such thoughts were unacceptable!
“Viter, don’t rush, take your time, carefully use your power. You can do it!”
Winters tried to slow his speech, making it sound gentler, but in reality, the gentleness was unique to a dragon!
Of course, no one cared about this, including Viter!
Five small dragons, four that could fly, one that couldn’t. So, the eyes of those that could fly looking at the one that couldn’t were definitely not friendly!
Noticing the four mocking eyes fixed on him, Viter slowly stood up, then sneered inwardly.
Ignorant fools!
Thinking this, he felt a little better, then took a deep breath.
His own power!
Following Winters’ instructions, Viter carefully focused on his power. Although the other party’s intentions were impure, before leaving the dragon, his best choice was to do as the other party said, no matter what!
Thinking this, Witt encouraged himself mentally while flapping his wings with all his might. Finally, he felt an upward pull!
But this upward pull seemed insufficient; he only felt his four paws lift slightly, not completely off the ground!
Not enough!
The wings weren't flapping fast enough, the power wasn't strong enough!
I can be faster and stronger!
Finally, to Winters' astonishment, Witt took flight and landed on his paws!
After a long silence, Winters looked at Witt, his golden vertical pupils filled with strange expressions.
"Where's your magic?"
