277 An Opportunity

Although everyone heard the True Dragon's voice, it couldn't be said to have spoken since it did not open its mouth at all.

It did not have the vocal cord to speak in the human tongue.

Instead, it had used magic to convert its inner thoughts into sound to communicate with them in their native language.

Even so, it still required an understanding of their language.

"The language of you humans isn't difficult to learn. On the contrary, it's unencumbered, simple, and primitive, not that it's a bad thing. After all, smooth communication makes sharing ideas and knowledge easier and is the key to a flourishing civilization," the True Dragon spoke.

Vaan's eyes quickly flickered after listening to it.

'Unencumbered, simple, and primitive, huh? In other words, the dragons' language is cumbersome, complex, and advanced?' Vaan silently mused.

Before the appearance of mana, speaking was the most direct method of expressing one's will and intention, even if others may or may not obey them.
