Chapter 18 Friends(1/2)

For Avril Strick, this is the first time she has been lucky enough to see such numerous, diverse and unique shapes of monsters and magic plants.

From the moment she entered the castle, she was confused.

"Oh, this white bear is so cute, what is it?"

"A polar ice bear is still in its childhood. It must be locked in a magic cage with ice and snow barriers to survive, otherwise it will have heatstroke."

"What about that colorful parrot?"

"That's not a parrot, Your Highness, it's a colorful bird that can change a lot of colors. Its innate ability is to be invisible with the environment in which it lives. Its strength is not strong, but its ability to escape is first-class. Master Hines used the color capsule on its body to invent a simulated potion that can help people temporarily integrate with their surroundings."

"So what is that big cat?"

"Actually... it was a black-spotted leopard, Your Highness the Princess."

When facing new things, Gong Hao found that the performance of this princess was actually no different from that of an ordinary girl. She would be curious, cheerful, and frustrated. As long as she was not too entangled with the issue of status, then she was at least not so terrifying at the beginning.

The only problem is that the princess is always followed by a large group of people. Whenever she tries to do something, a group of servants will come and persuade: "Your Highness, your noble princess, is not suitable for being too close to this inferior creature as your noble identity."

Gong Hao began to understand what made His Highness so arrogant.

The princesses in the legend are gentle and generous, just like canaries in cages, always eager to let them go.

But in fact, all these are farts.

A gentle, and relatively gentle may appear in a hundred princesses.

Their birth environment destined to grow up in flattery, and the education they received told them that they were born nobler than others. They almost had their hands open, and over time, they got used to such a life.

They may complain, but that comes from the innate insufficiency of human nature. Let them give up the noble status of a princess and talk about approachableness with their servants? Come on, this kind of self-deprecating status will not bring any benefits to themselves. On the contrary, some servants will take the opportunity to think that their master is easy to bully.

Princess Avril obviously grew up in this environment. The education she received was always reminded of her nobility, making her think she could get anything, and all this was taken for granted.

Of course, this is true in most cases, but it is different in some cases.

For example now.

The saber-toothed beast that was always grinding teeth attracted the princess's attention. She shouted happily: "Look, it's so majestic! Pull it out quickly, I want to ride it! I decided to use it as my mount!"

A great master of red robe was startled and quickly said, "Your Highness Princess, this is a very fierce monster. I don't think it is suitable to be your mount. And it is also not suitable to be released."

The princess stared at the great wizard: "Close, I don't need you to tell me what I should like or what I shouldn't like, let alone you question my decision!"

He is a little bitch and is old-fashioned!

The great wizard looked helpless.

The saber-toothed beast was pulled out and put on a thick iron chain. Several high-level warriors suppressed it tightly, so that it would not have a chance to show its might. However, despite this, the saber-toothed beast, which was rarely free, still roared.

The roar was deafening.

The princess pointed at the saber-toothed beast with her scepter and shouted: "I order you to kneel down, and listen to my instructions from now on, and become my mount!"

Alas, ordering a monster to kneel down to him, this absurd behavior is indeed something this little princess could do.

Gong Hao smiled secretly in his heart.

He began to understand why emperors in ancient and modern times always did some stupid things that ordinary people could not achieve.

For example, the world-famous Roman emperor Nero would order the burning of his imperial capital, Roman City, just because he wanted to prove that he had the power to dispose of his property at will. For example, the Romanian Grand Duke Grakra once nailed all their hats to their heads because the Central Asian merchants did not take off their hats.

There was even a pope who ordered the mountains to come to him, an emperor ordered the sea to recede, and a general even ordered the rain of arrows flying in the air, ordering them not to fly to him...

The extremely inflated power makes people's spirits go crazy. They think they can command everything, command everything, and fall into a mental abnormality. Compared with this incredible command, King Zhou's wine pool, meat forest and King You's beacons and princes are just a normal behavior.

At least the latter is only a behavioral luxury, not a spiritual madness.

It seems that the little princess is the same. Her twelve years of growing up made her think she could command everything, including monsters, but it is obvious that the saber-toothed beast does not eat her.

It roared loudly at the princess. If the warriors dared to loosen the chain, they believed that it would tear the princess, who had "noble blood" into minced meat without hesitation.

However, it seems that the poison of this princess was not too deep.

Because the next moment, she was not angry, but looked at the saber-toothed beast in surprise, and then asked Gong Hao: "Why did it reject me?"

Oh, my god... It turns out that he is just a little girl who doesn't know anything.

Gong Hao discovered that behind the arrogant princess, what was hidden was deep ignorance. However, after she was disobedient, she did not order the killing of the saber-toothed beast as she imagined. Instead, she asked herself why, judging by this little girl's nature is not at least the kind of bloodthirsty and cruelty.

She just instinctively thought that no creature would reject her, but she had not learned to use her anger to erase all the rebels after being rejected. When power was useless, the little girl's curiosity gained the upper hand.

Maybe she still has medicine to save. Gong Hao thought.

"In fact... Princess, I think worldly power does not work for it. After all, for monsters, your nobility is not something their wisdom can understand." Gong Hao replied carefully.

The little princess began to frown, and she murmured to herself: "If that's the case... maybe you can sign a magic contract. This way I have to do whatever I want it to do."

"...In fact, Your Highness, I think even if you sign a contract, it will be of no use." Gong Hao had to remind the princess.

"Why?" The princess was surprised.

"The core of the magic contract is that once signed, the master has the power of life and death to his monster, and can deprive it of its ability to move, including its life, anytime, anywhere. Once the master dies, the monster will die. But this also means that this is a forced bondage, not a willing obedience to the monster. There is no lack of examples in which the master abuses the monster, which leads to the monster launching a surprise attack and dying with the master. The contract is sometimes not a security guarantee, and if it is not handled well, it will bring danger to itself.

There are too many examples of losing vigilance when signing a contract and eventually dying under the claws of your own contract beast. Therefore, the signing of a Warcraft contract is usually based on the fact that both parties already have a certain relationship. The contract itself is just a guarantee, not a means. The Sabertoothed Beast is a very proud creature, and it will not easily lower its head and let others seek help. If you forcibly sign a contract... Your Highness, the princess, is a threat to your life safety... No one can guarantee whether the Sabertoothed Beast will choose the path to die together for freedom and glory."

Gong Hao's words not only aroused Avril's surprise, but even the mages who were listening were surprised.

The red-robed mage named Clos couldn't help asking, "How did you know this?"

Gong Hao immediately replied: "I work in the library on the island, and you know there are many records about magic there. Although the alchemist is not a real magician, some necessary magic understanding is still very necessary. The magic contract is a common spell, and it is not uncommon to have some records."

"So that's it." Klos nodded, and he found that the young servant in front of him seemed a little unsimple.

"So, I can't do anything about it?" She was a little discouraged.

"Please don't worry. If you just want to ride it occasionally, maybe I can help." Gong Hao said.

Everyone was shocked at the same time.

Gong Hao walked towards the saber-toothed beast and looked at it with a smile: "Hey, fuzzy, you are not obedient again."

The saber-toothed beast looked at Gong Hao, made a few low snoring sounds, and then lay on the ground helplessly.

Gong Hao walked over and stroked its thick back with his hands. The saber-toothed beast did not resist.

Gong Hao looked up at Avril and said, "The tooth has a bad temper, but it is not that there is no wisdom at all. Its teeth have always been an important material needed by alchemists, but it will be very uncomfortable when grinding its teeth every day. Some time ago, I found a drug for it that can temporarily interrupt its sensing ability and make it feel uncomfortable when grinding its teeth. It is very grateful to me, so it is more friendly to me."

"So that's it. So you can ride it?"

"No." Gong Hao shook his head immediately: "Whether it is for monsters or humans, freedom is always the most valuable. If you let it go now, it may not hurt me, but you will definitely run away immediately."

"That's a pity."

"But if there is an iron chain leading it and let it know that it cannot escape, then it should be OK to ride it for a while." Gong Hao replied with a smile.

The little princess' eyes lit up: "So can you help me ride it?"

“Yes, but that’s not simple.”

Several mages shouted at the same time: "Your Highness, no, you can."

"Shut up, you are really useless. You are not as good as a servant."

"But that's very dangerous."

"You are needed because of danger. If you can only be in a safe environment and don't do it because of danger, then what else do you need to do?"

Gong Hao smiled bitterly. This little princess is really good at making excuses.

Is this the logic of the powerful? Be casual, willful, self-righteous, and cause trouble by yourself, and the consequences will be borne by your subordinates.

Irresponsibility is the best portrayal of their behavior.

Now, all the angry eyes shot towards him now. If the little princess had any mistakes, they would probably have lost themselves.

But Gong Hao was fearless: "Your Highness Princess, if you really want to ride it, then at least a few things you have to do."

"you say."

"First, please put down your scepter and then change into ordinary clothes. The corolla on your head can be kept, but the shoes must be replaced as well."

"Why?"

"Your Highness, the gorgeous decorations do not mean anything to Warcraft. On the contrary, those things alienate you from it. If you want to ride it, you must show that you have no hostility to it. Although secular power does not mean anything to Warcraft, it can tell you that your status is in this respect. When you remove these things, it means that you are making sacrifices for it. You let it understand that you have given up your nobility, your glory, and your desire to command it. For Warcraft, action is always more convincing than words."

"But I don't intend to give up on these for it."

"Your Highness, this is only temporary. It is important that if you want to get some, you sometimes have to lose some."

"I never lose anything unless I don't want it."

"But for the monster, this is the only way to prove your sincerity. Princess, I think it has never seen a princess give up her superior position for it and get along easily with it. This can move it. Why not try it? Princess, you will find that just changing clothes will not cause any loss to you. Your entourage will never dare to be disrespectful to you because of this."

Avril was a little hesitant, but she did the same in the end.

The little girl's natural curiosity and unyielding mentality defeated the arrogance she cultivated, and Gong Hao's outstanding eloquence also achieved the ideal effect. However, she still muttered: "If it doesn't let me ride, I will let you be severely punished."

The princess who changed into ordinary clothes and no longer held a scepter looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"Then next, please approach it slowly. Remember to breathe well, don't be angry, don't be angry, in the world of Warcraft, there is no distinction between bloodline, no distinction between ups and downs, only friends and enemies. Now say to it...I am your friend."

"I'm your friend."

"It's not with your mouth, but with your heart and speak with your heart."
