Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 592: Macallan's Flaws (2)

"At least I am complete now." Pompey did not answer Han Qiu's question.

"Then let me guess." Han Qiu raised the wine glass to his lips and then put it down. "You and Li Wuyue are both very powerful. There is no problem with your intelligence, and your body is not disabled. So what exactly makes you so scared that you give up the pride and dignity of a dragon like a mouse and hide under the shell of Gattuso."

Pompey thought Han Qiu was going to clink glasses with him, and had already raised his glass, but Han Qiu put it down.

Han Qiu did many insulting things to Pompey.

If Pompeii is compared to a balloon, Han Qiu is the person who keeps pumping air into it.

Han Qiu was curious about how long Pompey could endure.

"You wouldn't... be unable to make a cocoon, right? Before you ate Li Wu Yue." Han Qiu leaned forward and met Pompeii's eyes.

"Yes." Pompey admitted the flaw without dodging his gaze. "So what? You were not there at that time, Mr. Han."

"That's right. Even if I show up, I won't do anything to you. Don't panic." By now, Han Qiu has figured out the problems of each of the eight kings.

There is a slight difference in the total number of twins, but it is not too big.

But when they are scattered, each is incomplete and weak in its own way.

"Han Qiu, I have finished talking about my story. It's time to talk about your story." Pompey sneered: "You are very strange. You are a being without history."

"I have no future either. Tell me, what have you found out?" Han Qiu was very curious.

"There are traces of you on the World Tree." Pompey raised his hand, and the young Bunin handed him a box, "A gift for you."

Han Qiu opened it and found a dry branch inside. The intertwined cracks looked like some kind of pattern.

It was cold to the touch and very solid. No matter how hard Han Qiu tried, he couldn't break it.

"This is..." Han Qiu asked: "World Tree?"

"The remains of the World Tree. I was away for a few days before Fingel came. Remember?" It was Pompeii's turn to take the lead.

He thought he had discovered something incredible, but unfortunately he didn't know it, and Han Qiu himself couldn't figure it out.

In his mind, Mr. Han told Han Qiu: "It is indeed a branch of the World Tree. I have studied it before."

"You're still holding back on the research results. Big brother, I'll lose my life if I make a mistake." Han Qiu played with the World Tree and scolded Mr. Han in his mind.

"No results, it can be considered a tree, it is indeed special, but it has nothing to do with us." Mr. Han said: "If it is made into a weapon, it will be very strong, there is really nothing special about it."

"Are you sure? I really want to beat you up and see if I can get any information out of you." Han Qiu asked.

"Sure, really sure." Mr. Han almost cried.

Pompeii couldn't notice what was going on in Han Qiu's mind. He only saw Han Qiu playing with the broken branches of the World Tree without saying a word, with confusion in his eyes.

"So you went to the World Tree those days?" Han Qiu suddenly asked.

He was silent for such a long time before asking. This Han Qiu... is really patient, Pompey thought.

"Yes." He smiled calmly, "I went to have a look."

"Is it close to here?" Han Qiu asked again.

Shouldn't I ask about my own affairs? Pompey didn't expect Han Qiu to ask questions according to the rhythm.

"Not far away, Da Avalon is also known as the end of the world, and the place behind the end is where the World Tree is." Pompeii was a little surprised: "Have you never been there?"

"No." Han Qiu said bluntly: "I have always wanted to go, but I don't know where it is."

"Why are there traces of you on the tree?" Pompey was a little confused.

"When did I leave any traces?" Han Qiu was even more confused than Pompey.

Pompey wasn't sure whether Han Qiu was pretending or was serious, so he just laughed dryly to cover up the topic.

Han Qiu was also very tactful and changed the subject: "Nidhoggr was really good to Behemoth and Leviathan, giving them such a good Nibelungen, but you have nothing."

"This Nibelung was given by the Son of God, not Nidhogg. The Son of God loves Behemoth very much, and Nidhogg doesn't have much affection for his offspring." Pompey said.

"So that's how it is. I suddenly remembered a fairy tale." Han Qiu's eyes were blurred.

"You said."

"There are eight brothers and sisters in the orphanage, and one of them is the weakest but the director's favorite. When the little guy learned that his brothers and sisters were planning to kill the director, he didn't have the courage to oppose the plan, nor did he dare to support it, so he ran away," Han Qiu said.

Pompey knew what the fairy tale was about, and he asked, "You have seen Behemoth, right?"

Han Qiu didn't say anything.

"He was present when Nidhogg was killed, and he supported the Son of God. Later, when the Son of God became weak and we killed him... he did run away." Pompey said bluntly: "I despise his cowardice and weakness."

"How dare you say that about others?" Han Qiu cursed, "He's hiding in Davalon, and you're hiding in Gattuso. Is there any difference?"

Pompey didn't know what was going on and why the initiative returned to Han Qiu's hands.

"Let's talk about the World Tree." Pompeii wanted to regain control. "How about this gift? Do you like it?"

Han Qiu used the World Tree's remaining branch to pick his teeth. "It's useless. It's too thick to be used as a toothpick, too blunt to be used as a weapon, and too rough to be used to wipe your butt."

"Wipe ass?" Pompey heard some magical words.

"Ever tried using a branch to wipe your butt?" Han Qiu asked.

"No." Pompey asked, "How do you wipe your butt with this thing?"

"Shave, I'll help you next time." Han Qiu patted his chest.

"Forget it, forget it. No, we're getting off track." Pompey found that he had to concentrate when chatting with Han Qiu. This guy always said some weird things to lead you astray.

You often can't say no because gross and funny things trigger a man's natural curiosity.

"You can study it slowly. My research on the World Tree is still superficial. Nidhogg once told us that dragons, including him, are both history and new to this world. The World Tree existed before he appeared."

"It's just a tree."

"It has life and memories. The existence it has seen will leave corresponding traces. I have never seen its ability. In my impression, it has always been rotten, from the initial half rottenness to the complete death now. But Nidhogg said that ascending the throne is a destiny and the choice of the world tree."

"Oh? That sounds interesting. You said there are traces of me there, which means the World Tree has seen me."

"But before that, there was no trace of you on it. So I kind of doubted whether you followed me secretly during the trip I went there."

"Am I someone who would do such a thing?" Han Qiu slammed the table, "Master Pompeii, how can you question my character?"
