Magus Tech Chapter 78: Memory retrieval
Retrieve memory, start.
In an instant, various illusions flashed in Li Cha's eyes, and he felt that the surrounding scene began to distort, as if he had walked into a long room. There are all kinds of wooden frames in this room, and there are all kinds of weird things on the wooden frames, such as pocket watches, such as dragon puppets, such as the emblem of the sun, such as small models of rockery, such as...
With the organic combination of things placed on rows of wooden shelves, memories began to unfold one by one.
Some hidden underwater things, quickly connected to become a looming clue.

"Gregory, do you mean that you have a long lifespan and can live for thousands of years?" Richard asked Gregory in a human state while chatting.
"Yes, at least thousands of years, hehe, kid, aren't you envious." Gregory looked a little ostentatious.
"Maybe, but I'm curious, how old are you now? How old can your kind be at most." Li Cha asked.
"I'm more than five hundred years old now. As for my kind... well, I still have something to do, let's talk next time..."
……
Time: two days after the first beast tide;
Location: Open space in front of Xiaoshan Castle;
Weather: Cloudy;
Lighting: dark;
Temperature:...
"Gregory, last time you told me about your companions? Are your companions usually there?" Richard asked aloud.
"Like me, I usually live on high mountains and in forests, mostly places where there are few people." Gregory said with twinkling eyes.
"Oh, why?"
"Hmph, boy, do you like living with a group of mice?" Gregory exhaled through his nostrils.
"Uh, okay. But I still have a question, how many companions do you have on this Mansman Island? Don't you usually visit and communicate with each other?" Richard asked again with a slight expression Seriously, with a sense of probing, "Why have I never seen other adult dragons other than you? In fact, according to the large number of books I have read, there are very few records of dragons."
"Uh, uh, this... uh, I suddenly remembered something, I'll talk to you when I have time..."
……
Time: One day after getting the crystal skull;
Location: Open space in front of Xiaoshan Castle;
Weather: Sunny;
Lighting: brighter;
Temperature:...
"Gregory, there seems to be something wrong with your appearance recently. Do you know that Pandora is already a little dissatisfied because you often go out."
"Ahem, how is this possible, how can my good daughter be dissatisfied with me, you must be lying to me."
"I..."
……
Time: three days ago;
Location: Open space in front of Xiaoshan Castle;
Weather: Overcast;
Lighting: very dark;
Temperature:...
"Gregory, you seem to be getting more and more wrong recently, worse than a month ago."
"Hmph, it's none of your business, boy. Believe it or not, even if I am like this, I can burn you with a single flame."
"Oh, whatever you want. But I'm more curious, what have you been busy with all this time? You don't see any shadows every day, and you have to fly out every day. Are you looking for something? It can't be visiting your companions, right? I asked you this question last time, if you are really visiting your companions, let’s not mention the frequency, but why do you always go out to visit, but no one of your companions visits you?"
"I, this..." Gregory looked preoccupied, and asked suddenly after a while, "Boy, do you really want to know the answer?"
Li Cha's eyes flashed: "If you want, of course I want to know the answer."
"Uh, okay." Gregory said, "I can tell you, maybe you can help me solve my doubts. Of course, the chances of this are very small."
"What doubts?"
"A big doubt, that is... I can't find my companions."
"Can't find them? What do you mean?"
"It means literally. I have been going out all this time, looking for my companions. But... It seems that I am the last dragon in the world except Pandora, and I have no companions to live alone. Maybe when I die, When Pandora dies, my race will be extinct."
"How could this be?" Li Cha frowned.
"I don't know, but I just can't find them." Gregory shook his head, a little confused, "It's as if they disappeared suddenly one day. I have been to many places they liked to go before , waited for a long time, but never saw them appear again. I have been looking for them, but I just can’t find them, and I don’t know why.”
"Don't know why at all?"
"I..."
……
Time: Three days ago after the conversation, Gregory was silent for a long time;
Location: Open space in front of Xiaoshan Castle;
Weather: Overcast;
Lighting: very dark;
Temperature:...
"Okay, kid, let me tell you." Gregory, who had been silent for a long time, raised his voice, "I do know something, or suspect something."
"What?"
"I suspect that someone is secretly attacking my race." Gregory said with a cold gaze.
"Secret attack on your race? Who?" Li Cha was slightly taken aback, and guessed, "Dragon Slayer Knight?"
"Hmph, knight?" Gregory snorted coldly, a little disdainful, "What ability do they have that can cause harm to my companions? Even the most elite existence among the knights can't resist the spit from my mouth." Flame, just like you now."
“…”
"Okay, let's get back to the point." Gregory's expression returned to serious, "I'm suspecting that it was a wizard."
"Wizard? But here on Smans Island, there are not many wizards, and most of them are wizard apprentices with little strength."
"This is the crux of the problem. There are not many wizards on Smans Island at all, so it is most likely from..." Gregory let out a breath, "It is a wizard from the mainland."
"Mainland..."
"I don't know if it's true or not, but if it's true, I might just be a dragon that got away with it."
"Huh?"
"I escaped from the mainland." Gregory said, "The companions I told you before suddenly disappeared, and it happened on the mainland. I searched many places but couldn't find them. Keeping close to me, I started to move four times with Pandora. Finally, I came to Smans Island.
I thought, maybe it would be safe this way, maybe there would be my companions, after all, it is very barren here, and there are very few wizards. But in the past few years, I have searched almost every corner of Smans Island, and found nothing. In addition, I have lately discovered that the danger I sensed on the Continent has returned, and has grown stronger. "
"This..."'
"By the way, Li Cha, you want to leave, right?" Gregory asked abruptly.
"Well, I will leave when the recent research is over." Li Cha responded calmly, there was nothing to hide.
"Is that so..." Gregory hesitated after hearing this ~IndoMTL.com~ The next moment he asked aloud, "What do you think of Pandora?"
"What?" Li Cha's eyes flashed, realizing the meaning behind Gregory's question, "Do you want me to stay? Or, you want me to take Pandora away?"
"..." Gregory was silent for a while, glanced at Li Cha, then shook his head, and said seriously, "You think too much."
"I think too much?"
"You think too much."
"I really think too much?"
"You really have to think too much."
"I really think too much?"
"You really think too much." Gregory said, and then said impatiently, "Boy, are you wordy?"
"Alright then."
"I have something to do, so I'm leaving first, and we'll talk again when we have a chance." Gregory turned around and was about to leave.
"By the way, Gregory." Li Cha suddenly seemed to remember something, stopped Gregory, and said, "Is there something I've always wanted to understand?"
"What?"
"Generally speaking, psychology works on all intelligent creatures, but because of different species habits and social composition, the response will be somewhat different."
"So?"
"For human beings, if a person tells a lie, there will be a series of unnatural reactions, such as squinting, muscle contraction, and a defensive or aggressive protective posture as a whole. Of course, the most important point is...he will Subconsciously repeat the former words to reduce the pressure on yourself. I don’t know if it’s the same for you, a dragon.”
"What do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying." Gregory frowned.
"Okay then, just pretend I didn't say goodbye."
"Goodbye."
