I am a dragon! Help me! (TOME 4 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)

THE DRAGON'S INN

Monks and Sisters from the town of Hagen were escorted by a few soldiers,

Soldiers moved into the guardhouse, and no one was allowed in the tower except children and orphans.

They quickly understood when they saw a cow coming from the air... alive and live game to replenish the stock.

Hunger took precedence over panic and they eventually got used to me. The forge was soon back in operation and the mill was repaired by a companion from the church factory.

The chapel was decorated and a dwarf was installed. I quickly became friends, exchanging techniques.

Many experiments were made and the forge soon became a foundry and a crystal factory.

Glass was blown, which was new and we developed tools when I connected to the internet and we built a first lathe and a first band milling machine.

A miracle of technology for the dwarf.

For the forge and foundry, they used belt fans and were able to cast metals with coal.

Then a windmill was built. A revolution for the time.

Then I introduced paper and printing. I warned of the dangers of chemicals. All these inventions were officially the hard work of monks.

The tower became a monastery and an orphanage and a school were created. I copied medicine formulas to cure infections and future epidemics.

The last invention was a phonograph, I made the plans and a clock to mark time.

Some inventions that saved lives such as the life jacket, the microscope and glasses 2 years passed and finally I was happy.

We made technological leaps in gastronomy and food preservation.

Then I was taken from sleep, hibernation and my cave was sealed. I said goodbye or goodbye to my friends and I prepared my big moult.

I slept for 3 winter months and the supplies and methods paid off. No one was hungry, the techniques were spread by printers throughout the kingdom and the records were a huge success for music, singing and souvenirs.

Also, distant families were able to transmit vocal messages to their loved ones.

By the time I woke up, I had grown 5 meters long and my stature had strengthened. I was slimmer, more muscular, more agile, more fearsome, and I had power in my mouth all the time.

I had become a lightning dragon. The most terrible species there is. The deadliest creature.

I went out hunting and zapped my prey without even touching it. ..

Slaughter...

Once, I killed 15 reindeer in one go... They were massed under a tree and it had just rained.... Zap and 15 in one go.!!!

I had to go seven trips back and forth to bring back my prey.

Some hunters asked me how I did it but I said, "dragon hunting!"

My comings and goings did not go unnoticed and I used to greet back those who were polite to me.

What had to happen happened! The guard of Hagen's Earl with the Earl himself. He wanted to see me.

I had no choice.

Hagen, the chief of the town... He looked like a barbarian Viking, Short hairs, short beard, blue eyes and very massive arms.

The lord walked up to the Padre: " That's your dragon? Did you train it?"

Padré: "Oh, no, it's a human inside and it's a good Christian. He built the chapel and he manages the supply of game for the orphanage."

Hagen:" A dragon runs an orphanage?"

Padre: "Yes, he saved 12 children from the black dragon, which he killed, and he will kill any dragon that attacks humans.

He talked to them and he told me that they are monsters to be eliminated."

Hagen:" I like that dragon!"

Then Hagen went up to the tower and called me. I obeyed and bowed to the Lord. I said nothing, for fear of offending him.

Hagen: "I am your lord. You live on my land. You hunt game and you are a dragon...

I've heard that you've done wonders here. Show me!"

I greeted the Lord and gave him a receipt showing the permits and authorizations paid in gold.

"Yes, I already know that!!!" the Lord cried out to me.

And I showed him the head of the black dragon. It was dried so that it would not lose its luster.

"Here is the skin of the black dragon that ravaged your land, Earl! I saved it for you.

Accept it as a sign of my submission to you. All I ask is that you let me live, have your protection and be allowed to remain free."..

The earl was thinking.

"We have an armory and here we have a quantity of weapons and armor that exceeds your entire arsenal.

I have re-fortified this outpost and here is a foundry using the force of water to melt metal.

Here is a salt cellar and here is a glassware with glasses adapted for each type of drink.

The variety of drinks has been multiplied by 40. Here are stills to make the best alcohol, here is a brewery and an ice cream shop in lava stone buried with a salt pump to make cold. The salt is continuously melted and this generates cold and the brine is brought up and evaporated on slates and then the salt is poured over and so on.

I hate fighting and it would make me unhappy to injure or kill a soldier, which would inevitably result in orphans and widows."

Earl : "Dragon hunters have arrived here and are with me. I need to talk to them and convince them to work with you instead of trying to kill you. The fact that you don't have a drop of human blood on your paws is a good thing in itself for you."
