Chapter 19 Why aren't the Descendants of the Dragon considered Dragon Blood?
"Shouldn't highly spiritual people be able to detect magical creatures?" Zag asked. "And aren't fairies said to be cursed, which is why they 'disappeared'?"
"fart!"
Snowball let out a strange roar in anger, but after calming down, it explained, "This isn't called disappearing! It's invisibility! It's 'Agora's Blessing'! It's the Mother Goddess's blessing upon all magical creatures! It's just that because we are the Mother Goddess's true followers, we can freely choose whether or not to use this blessing!"
Zag was used to Snowball's volatile temper and quickly changed the subject: "So, that means the cat sunbathing by the roadside could very well be one of your own kind?"
"Perhaps... many fairies do choose to disguise themselves as ordinary cats and be kept as domesticated animals by humans... How shameful! And foolish!"
Snowball seemed a little embarrassed when he said this, but his tone quickly turned angry.
It seems to have a strong aversion to humans.
"A creature from another world like you—well, you don't seem like a magical being, but you're certainly not human—you're completely different from those treacherous, mean, evil, stupid, and disgusting things! In short, never trust humans; they'll stab you in the back when you trust them most!"
Good, it now believes that Zag is not human.
Zag opened his mouth, wanting to explain that even if he came from another world, he should belong to the category of "humans," but he also cherished the current state of high trust with Snowball. So, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Strictly speaking, I belong to the 'Descendants of the Dragon,' yes, that's right, the Descendants of the Dragon."
There is no precise word in the Kingdom's common language that can replace "descendant," so to Snowball's ears, "descendant of the dragon" actually means "descendant of the dragon."
Snowball couldn't help but take a few steps back, pressing his ears back against his scalp: "What do you mean by 'descendant of a dragon'? Didn't you say you weren't a dragon?!"
"No, no, no, it's not a dragon, it's... a dragonborn!"
Snowball wrinkled his nose, and his airplane ears perked up: "Dragonborn? A dragon hybrid? Like a half-elf?"
Seeing that Snowball was no longer afraid and was more curious than disgusted, Zag immediately launched into his nonsensical mode: "No, not really. I inherited dragon blood, but I wasn't born of a dragon. Moreover, the dragons I inherited are completely different creatures from the dragons of this world. In short, you can think of me as someone with 'dragon' blood, but not entirely human, not a dragon, and not a dragon hybrid. If you really don't know how to distinguish them, just call me 'Dragonborn'!"
"What a wondrous race," Snowball's curiosity had completely overshadowed its fear and disgust. It pressed on, "So, you can breathe dragonfire because of this bloodline? Because you're a dragonborn?"
"That's right, this is called 'Dragon Roar,' a language of dragons, imbued with powerful magic. And not only can I breathe dragonfire, I can also..."
At this point, Zag suddenly hesitated.
Although he has almost worn out the Elder Scrolls V, he really hasn't memorized any of the dragon shouts except for a few that he uses often!
The most commonly used one is [Whirlwind Dash], which allows the character to dash quickly. He not only learned this one sound by one while doing quests, but it is also an essential dragon roar skill for passing various traps, so he remembers it the most clearly.
Secondly, there's "Unyielding Power," a shout that throws enemies off balance, a brief control skill and an essential dragon shout for the main storyline. More importantly, its pronunciation has become a favorite meme among Skyrim players, with many jokingly referring to its true meaning as "he tui," specifically used to taunt enemy targets. Zag remembers it perfectly.
Besides that, he only remembered a few commonly used ones because he heard them a lot, such as the [Flame Breath] that he almost killed himself with in the afternoon, as well as [Clear Sky], [Time Slow], and [Ice Form].
【Flame Breath】As the name suggests, it is the ability to breathe fire.
The effect of 【Clear Sky】 is similar to its name; it "purifies" the weather. In other words, it turns the sky, whether it's a blizzard or a meteor shower, into a clear, sunny day. It's also a dragon shout required for the main quest in the game.
【Time Delay】is a very overpowered dragon shout skill that can make time almost stand still for a certain period of time. Many players like to use this dragon shout skill to play the cool trick of catching arrows with their bare hands. Zag is no exception, which is why he knows this dragon shout.
【Ice Form】is the most practical of all the dragon shouts. It can freeze the enemy for 60 seconds until the enemy is attacked and the ice breaks to restore their mobility. It is especially useful for both escaping and ambushing. It is the dragon shout that Zag uses most often when playing the game, so of course he can remember its pronunciation.
As for the dragon roars outside of these... he didn't remember a single one.
However, when facing the snowball, Zag still boasted, "I know several other dragon roars, and they're all quite powerful!"
I should have memorized all the dragon shouts when I was playing the game!
Who knew those dragon languages were real dragon languages, and that the dragon shouts in the game could actually be used!
Snowball nodded: "Then it seems you are indeed a powerful creature... Hmm, if the dragons were still around, perhaps you could exchange experiences, but unfortunately, they have all left the Dawn Continent."
"Dragons? There are dragons in this world? Oh right, it's a Western fantasy, so there should be dragons... Why did they leave?"
"We got tricked by the Norse and the demons," Snowball said, tilting his head awkwardly. "Anyway, we left. They say we went to the legendary 'Dragon Island,' but... who knows! I'm not a dragon! I've never even seen a dragon!"
"It's okay, I've seen it before!"
in the game.
Zag couldn't resist scratching Snowball's head, listening to its purring that sounded like an engine starting up, and then suddenly remembered something—
"I think... I can summon a dragon..."
He suddenly remembered that there were two dragon shouts in the game that summoned dragons. One of them summoned Alduin's minions, the main boss in the game. Since it could only be used once, he neither remembered the pronunciation of the dragon shout nor the name of the minions.
However, he remembered the other dragon shout that summoned a dragon very clearly, because the dragon summoned by this shout was a tough and powerful dragon, which was very useful when exploring in the wild. Sometimes he could even shake it out to fight with the dragons that passed by. Moreover, the sound of the shout itself was the name of the dragon, which was relatively easy to remember. So it became one of the few dragon shouts that he could remember the sound of.
"What!?"
Snowball darted out of Zag's hand and landed in the farthest corner of the room, its fur standing on end, glaring at him warily: "I knew it! You were up to no good!"

【Dragon Island】: Dragon Island is the place where the surviving dragons fled and lived after the legendary Dragon Slayer War. It is far from the Dawn Continent and is often shrouded by sea storms, making it impossible for humans to enter.
However, Dragon Island is not actually called "Dragon Island." No one knows its actual name; it is simply referred to by this name because legend says that a giant dragon lived there.
