“What about five each?”

“Three each.”

“Then four each?”

“Three each.”

“Three is too few.”

“Three each!”

“...I’ll think about it. Come back tomorrow.”

“Three each!”

“I told you to come back tomorrow!”

“Yes...”

Surprisingly, Nefelina was very careful. During the negotiations, Nefelina didn’t use the power of a transcendent species nor did she threaten him by referring to it. Instead, she tried to find a line that would satisfy both parties involved.

“I heard that dragons consider all things in this world as insignificant. They are supposed to be cruel, selfish, and capricious from a human’s viewpoint, yet she is different from the story. Is she perhaps in a disadvantageous position? That she can’t grow without being beholden to us...?” This was Lauel’s guess.

However, Sticks stubbornly shook his head. “A dragon awakens most of their magic at the moment of birth. In fact, the space reconstruction magic that Nefelina maintains is something that ordinary human magicians can’t imitate. Additionally, to use it alone with polymorph... She is an existence that can live well enough without human help. 100 cows and pigs? She can slaughter them in a matter of minutes if she wanted. She can also kill all the humans protecting the livestock.”

“Then why is Nefelina trying to negotiate?”

“She is crazy.”

“...?”

“She is out of her mind. That hatchling is crazy.”

Dragons weren’t social animals. They were arrogant and selfish because they were the most outstanding race in the world. Just as humans didn’t care about knocking down an ant nest when building a house, the dragon didn’t care about other people. They acted as they wanted and made their own way. From the viewpoint of a human, Nefelina was completely different from ordinary dragons.

“No, how is this crazy...? Isn’t it common sense?”

“It is crazy when considering a dragon’s common sense. Originally, dragons can’t be evaluated with our common sense. From our point of view, they are always selfish and and erratic.”

“Is it because she is still a hatchling?”

“It is meaningless to argue about age because the dragon’s thoughts are formed the moment they are born.”

“Hrmm... Then what should I do?”

“What should you do? A crazy dragon isn’t easily seen, so we should study it.”

The feelings of resentment and fear that Sticks had against the dragon species were tremendous. The curse had merely been a moment of fun for the gourmet dragon. Yet this curse caused Sticks to be afraid of dragons as he fought death for the rest of his life. Now, his curiosity toward Nefelina made him shake off his fear.

“Umm... Still, it isn’t easy to dedicate three pigs and cows every day.”

According to Grid, the current price of one pig was two gold and the price of one cow was four gold. This meant that 18 gold were consumed every day. It would be 180 gold for 10 days and 1,800 gold for 100 days. What was 1,800 gold worth? It was worth a huge amount of 2.6 million won.
