Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 83: The Great Changes in Degen City
The green witch was the first to discover that the dragon had awakened. While she was tending to the pond, she suddenly felt a huge shadow behind her. She turned around and was almost scared to death by Nemesis.

"Ahh - uh, master's master, you're awake." The green witch's vicious scream, which sounded like the friction of broken glass, had not yet finished when it blocked her throat like a chicken, and she stopped abruptly. She hurriedly lowered her head respectfully.

Are you kidding? She didn't want that shameless bastard Segna to extend the contract for any reason.

"Taking care of the pond?"

The scroll dragon looked at the clear underground pool behind her and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, don't use things like [Sewage Technique] to pollute my territory, keep it up."

He thought that when he woke up he would see the territory turned into a stinking quagmire, but the current situation surprised him greatly.

He called out to Sgena, and the black dragon came soon. She spread her wings, flew over the cave, and landed steadily in the pool. Several poor fish were splashed out of the pool by her, with their bellies exposed, jumping on the ground.

"Oh no. My pond needs to be cleaned again." The green witch was dejected when she saw this scene.

The black dragon ignored it. After all, it was her greatest pleasure to cause trouble for the green witch in her daily tasks. She looked at Nemesis curiously, clicking her tongue constantly.

"Tsk tsk, Nemesis, what kind of freak are you? You've only grown to adolescence, but you actually need to sleep for so long?"

Nemesis chuckled and said happily, "No matter how long you sleep, it's worth it. Segna, why haven't you grown into a young dragon yet? You're really useless."

The black dragon curled its lips. She was also thinking, who could evolve as fast as this dragon, as if they had taken hormones.

However, Segna misunderstood. Nemesis' rapid progress was not replicable. The key to its rapid growth was that the Throne absorbed the power of the mysterious existence from a distant country and fed it back to Nemesis.

Now, Nemesis has become a young dragon. It will take 50 years for it to evolve into an adult dragon. Even if it swallows magic gems to speed up the process, it will still take at least years.

"15 months." Nemesis sighed. It was indeed a long time. In fact, in the later stages of his sleep, he already had intermittent consciousness.

"During your sleep, many major events occurred in the Underdark."

"Oh?" Nemesis became curious after hearing Segna's words.

"The war ended half a year ago. Most cities in the Underdark expressed their submission to the drow and paid tribute regularly. The joint forces of House Baenre and House Duqueden also withdrew."

"But what's curious is that the day after the war ended, the city of Menzoberranzan issued a 'hunt order.'" Segna said word by word.

"Kill order?" Nemesis was a little confused.

"Yes, a hunting order. The content of the hunting order states that any creature in the upper and middle Underdark who captures a baby, dead or alive, will receive the highest reward in Menzoberranzan."

"A baby? Is a baby worth such a big fuss? Could it be a descendant of God?" Nemesis asked curiously.

Signa shrugged her dragon wings and said indifferently, "Who knows? The baby seems to be called Drizzt Duguiden, and it is said that the killing order was issued by the head mother of the first family in Menzoberranzan, Baenre."

"I heard that his father, a male drow, took him to the ground. It's ridiculous. Can you believe that drow live on the ground?"

As soon as Segna finished speaking, she suddenly realized that this guy seemed to have indeed taken ten drow to the ground, and her eyes twitched.

Nemesis did not care about the so-called hunting order. Being hunted by the city of Menzoberranzan, the baby was already a dead person in his eyes.

He was more concerned that the war was over.

"Very good. Now that the war is over, you are no longer needed here. Leave it to the green witch. Come with me to the ground."

Nemesis' words made Segna's eyes light up. She had wanted to leave here for a long time. She was bored to death staying here and watching a group of monsters every day.

"But!" Nemesis warned, "Follow my instructions. You have never been to human society. Don't give me away. I am a very successful disguise!"

Juan Celong was so proud that he completely forgot about his behavior as a country bumpkin when he first entered Degen City.

Signa said dejectedly: "Okay."

She originally wanted to experience the feeling of a dragon plundering a human town.
-
The two dragons came to the ground and transformed into human form. Nemesis stretched his body uncomfortably, as he was still not used to it.

He glanced at the plump beauty next to him who looked calm and composed, and asked curiously, "Why do you seem to like your human form?"

Signa covered her mouth and giggled, turning around on the spot: "I am not like my fellow tribesmen who like my skinny black dragon body. The accumulation of fat makes me feel beautiful."

Nemesis shook his head, thought for a moment, and warned again: "Remember, follow my command after entering human society."

The two dragons moved quickly and soon arrived near Degen City, but everything in front of them made Nemesis feel extremely unfamiliar.

At this time, outside the city of Degen, there were various trenches of varying sizes and defensive facilities consisting of wooden fences. There were at least several hundred soldiers in armor patrolling the originally empty periphery, and one could even vaguely see temporary residences made up of tents in the distance.

The combination of a mature beauty and a handsome boy who looked 16 years old attracted the attention of many soldiers. When they arrived at the city gate, they found that even the guards guarding the city had been replaced by these soldiers.

"Stop." The soldier called them coldly. "Where are you from? Degen City has now banned outsiders from entering. If you have nothing urgent to do, please turn back."

The little human was so arrogant that he asked them to turn back. Segna's teeth began to itch. She rubbed the back of her teeth, and the nails on her hands began to grow longer and thicker. She wanted to return to her original form and tear these ants to pieces!
"Ahem!" Nemesis glanced at her coldly, causing her to stop what she was doing.

"What an idiot! He wants to kill people here. How much trouble will he cause me? Don't you know that if we give these humans some money, they will let us pass?" The voice sounded in Segna's mind.

Then, Nemesis tried to recall the scene when he entered the city. It seemed like it was ten copper coins?

He smiled politely, took out twenty copper coins, held them in front of the soldier and said, "Here, it's the entrance fee."

The soldier looked at his actions, frowned deeply, and felt speechless.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I've already told you that entry into Degen City is prohibited. It's useless even if you pay the entrance fee!" the soldier said sternly.

Signa covered her mouth and laughed. Is this what he meant by giving some money and letting it pass?
Nemesis withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly. He clearly remembered that he had done it this way last time. Did he give too little?

Probably!

There was enlightenment in Juan Ce Long Zhihui's eyes. He guessed that he might have remembered the unit wrong. It was not copper coins, but gold coins!

He took out twenty gold coins with a painful heart, held them out to the guard again, and said confidently, "Sorry, I remembered it wrong. This is the entrance fee."

The guard's expression changed. He looked at the gold coin with complicated eyes, then looked around, gritted his teeth, and took the gold coin away.

"Okay, I get it. Go in. Remember, if anything goes wrong, don't say I let you in."

The guard made way and Nemesis nodded with satisfaction. As expected, he had remembered the wrong unit.

The two entered the city. Signa looked at him in disbelief and said, "You were willing to give that human 20 gold coins! Just to enter the city? We could have gotten it for free!"

Nemesis glanced at her and said, "20 gold coins is worth it if it can solve the problem. Besides, this is the rule set by humans. You should pay an entrance fee when entering the city. People like you in the Chaos Camp don't understand the importance of abiding by the law."

He raised two fingers and said, "In my opinion, gold coins have two other uses besides being collected."

"First, spend little money to accomplish great things. If spending some gold coins can save me greater trouble, I think it's worth it."

"Secondly, it is investment. Spending a portion of the money can earn more benefits in the future, which is also worthwhile."

"But I guess your simple brain doesn't understand." After finishing the theory, Nemesis mocked the Black Dragon as usual.

Signa wanted to refute unconvinced, but then she thought about it and felt that she really didn't want to do so, so she had to remain silent.

As Nemesis walked, he observed the situation in Degen City. Just like outside the city, soldiers wearing standard armor could often be seen on the roads here, and the citizens walking on the road always hurried on with a gloomy look on their faces.

The whole city of Degen was filled with a negative atmosphere.

Nemesis was puzzled, but he knew that someone would explain everything to him. He had not forgotten that he was the master of the invisible government of Degen City!
Soon, he arrived in front of Rosa Castle. As expected, the entrances and exits were also controlled by a large number of soldiers.

An officer with a green gem on his shoulder walked up to him, looked at the two of them with eagle-like sharp eyes, and said coldly: "This is not the place for you to come, leave immediately."

Signa was very tactful and didn't say anything. She guessed that this was probably the same procedure as entering the city. Damn human society, why do you need money everywhere! It's really killing the dragon!

Nemesis smiled and said, "I know your boss, the mayor of Degen City, Ms. Colette. I have something to discuss with her."

The officer sneered and said, "Boss? My boss is not that count. Get out of here, pretty boy."

Anger rose in Signa's eyes. How dare he insult a real dragon? What an arrogant ant! She could feel that this human's strength would definitely not exceed level 7. How dare he speak so arrogantly with such strength!

She was about to open her mouth, but suddenly remembered what Nemesis said, so she had to shut her mouth angrily. Don't cause trouble. Yes, use gold coins to eliminate trouble.

Who would have thought that when Nemesis heard this, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth, smiled friendly, and then raised his hand and pointed.

Thick lightning instantly shot out from his fingertips and hit the officer who was unprepared. He was knocked against the wall by the terrible impact force. The horrible hot electric current burned through his chest, and he was breathing out more than breathing in.

Fifth-ring Shaping Spell——[Instant Lightning Bolt]!
Signa opened her mouth wide, her mind full of confusion.

We agreed to use gold coins to solve problems, and human society cannot mess around?

　The story about Mr. Cui will be told later.

　　In addition, Lightning Bolt is a three-ring spell, and instant casting requires four more rings. However, the improvisational super magic allows the protagonist, the young dragon, to be reduced by two ages, so two rings are added, making it a five-ring spell.

　　The power remains the same, but it is a fifth-ring spell that can be cast smoothly.
