Alex narrowed his eyes upon hearing the female dragon's insistence on learning something about him before answering his question. "Let's do one for one. I answer one of your questions, and you answer one of mine."
"I can't, I'm sorry," the dragon said. "But if you answer my questions and they align with what I'm thinking, then I'll explain everything without holding back."
Alex frowned for a moment, considering it. Her questions asked for something he had already revealed, so he didn't see any reason not to answer her current questions.
"Five," Alex said. "I've learned five Spatial Daos."
The woman's eyes went wide in shock. "Five?"
"Yes, five," Alex said. "Will that make you answer my question?"
The woman frowned. She thought for a moment and looked up. "Alright, I'll just go ahead and ask. Around a year ago, there was someone who learned many Spatial Daos at once. Was that you?"
Alex raised an eyebrow. "Why do you say that?"
