Sword and Magic and Taxi

The meteorite flying by in the sky caused a huge sensation in Stone Shell City, and everyone was discussing it these two days. Unlike the meteors that usually flash in the night sky, this time it is a big, earth-shattering guy. The whole city trembles with the roar, and the vibrations it produces when it destroys the mountain peaks are endless, and after reaching the stone shell city, dozens of shacks collapsed.

"Something amazing must have fallen from the sky," everyone said. Soon, scattered adventurers went to the crash site to check, followed by a messy team. Such a large meteorite will definitely attract the attention of the dragon. If some good things can be found in front of them and successfully concealed, it will produce great value in the future.

The division of power between lizardmen and dragons is very obvious. The powerful dragon has the highest dominance, and their words are the same. The second is half-dragons, the direct descendants of giant dragons, a mixed race with obvious characteristics of giant dragons. They naturally enjoy a generous life, but do not care about daily affairs. How to improve the purity of their dragon bloodline and become a giant dragon as much as possible, so as to have unlimited life and terrible power, is their only goal.

Many of the lizardmen are produced by the continued interbreeding of half-dragons. The over-relaxed dragon bloodline makes it almost impossible for them to have the opportunity to develop into half-dragons and giant dragons. They can only stay in the current class. Therefore, the eyes of the lizard people are concerned with things around them. An organization called the Grey Scale Committee works in a form similar to the presbytery, handling all kinds of complicated affairs in all aspects of the city. When there were no dragons and half-dragons, the lizardmen lived relatively "free". But they are still the property of the dragon, the servants of the half-dragons.

"Those lizardmen use their scales and teeth as currency. Poverty and wealth can be seen at a glance. Fresh, large and complete scales are the most valuable. Old scales gradually withdraw from the market as they wear out, while dragon scales are because of the market. They are scarce in number and will not wear out, and they have always played a role in stabilizing value. Ha, what a scale..." Zhao Mai walked and analyzed the state of the world, explaining to others: "Lizardmen without scales It is equivalent to a knight without armor, and its value is getting lower and lower. The scales that can be used for trading have to wait for the lizardmen to become adults, and they need to be healthy and strong to have the best scale color. This is also a large investment to stabilize the scales. Value. The best scales can be made into scales, which are life-saving things. Although this economic system is still not stable enough, it is always more valuable than using the answers to mathematical questions to sell money to make money."

Alexstrasza felt that everyone's eyes were turning around her, and he immediately understood what was going on. A big tear came out instantly, without dripping, just hung on the eye socket, like a drop of gum. "Don't pick up my scales. I know that you can heal and regenerate those scales, but it will still hurt... Ah! Even if it can relieve the pain, I always feel that I have lost something, something particularly bad in between. ."

"You think too much. If you want money, you don't need your scales, and we won't grab or cheat, that's boring." Zhao Mai pulled a huge rock out of the ground and used material alchemy techniques to turn it into a steel ingot. . Then he did the same, conjured fine gold, and quickly processed a few curved blades. "I think their weapons are like this, so when you get there, you can use weapons to sell some scales. I will use psychic powers to translate their language to you, so that we can enter the stone shell city and look for the shadow dragon."

"What does that guy look like?" Duojian asked: "Apart from Bailong, do we know his physical characteristics at the moment?"

"I don't know, it's too difficult to calculate the physical characteristics. The technology of the Alliance of the Rings can only calculate the key time period and location for the formation of the roots. The old man verifies that it is near this landing point, which is already calculated. It’s the limit. Don’t forget, we are now very far from our starting point, and the parallel world will cause a lot of interference. From my personal point of view, it’s better not to focus on the characteristic of Bailong, but to Pay attention to the changes in the will of the world. I have no problem. Diana has been a detachment, so she should be fine. I wonder if you can do it?"

"I can do it!" Said a little flower about the size of Kiki, who had shrunk back to his ten-year-old posture: "I can see the changes in the will of the world just like you! The natural force here can also help me."

Others said they did not have this ability. "Although the shadow dragon currently does not have the ability to influence the will of the world, nor has it embarked on the path of establishing the Nexus Temple and becoming the shadow dragon, it must have received the attention of the will of the world. Let's allocate it like this. Diana , You, together with Alexstrasza and the grain reserves, pay attention to the top of the dragon people. The most important thing for you is to watch Alexstrasza and don't let her make trouble."

"The others are with me. Xiaohua, although you can detect the will of the world, you are too small now, and it will be a little inconvenient to act. At the same time, in order to prevent your sudden detachment, don't separate."

There are dragons in this world, and the original power is very familiar with dragons, so the possibility of Alexstrasza suddenly coming to the fore to become a transcendent is very low. The food reserve is very gentle and honest, and basically does not cause trouble, and Diana knows how to become or how to avoid becoming a detached person, so Zhao Mai is more at ease with these three.

The spore dandelion already has the invisibility ability. They multiply rapidly in the air, continuously absorbing the free energy around, and further enhance their detection ability. The combination of many spores of dandelion has formed the embryonic form of the king insect. Within a day at most, Zhao Mai's global reconnaissance capabilities will be brought to the next level.

The group avoided the lizardman adventurers who were out looking for the meteorite treasure, and took a detour to enter the city from a major commercial road leading to other cities. Zhao Mai exchanged a scimitar for a small package of scales from a lizardman outside the city, and gave each person a dozen. He knew that this transaction must be a loss, and the value of the fine gold scimitar was definitely not so low. But on the one hand, he just needed enough "Money A" to pay the gate fee. On the other hand, to show that he was a tyrant, he didn't care whether the transaction was reasonable.

"Honored'Heaven' dragonman, plus servants, six lizardmen and a fur pet. What species is this? What is a dog? Forget it, it doesn't matter." The lizardman guard at the gate of the city is in Alex Tower. In front of Sa, he kept bending and bowing at ninety degrees, so that Zhao Mai had to talk to him in the same posture. "A total of six tiers, regardless of quality. Oh, you are quite generous, all are good tiers, it seems you have followed a good master."

Zhao Mai smiled awkwardly, "Any other things? The master still has things to do."

"You have to register your name. I dare not ask for Master Tianlongren's number. I can only register yours."

"Businessman A." Zhao Mai said: "A merchant who specializes in exchanging various A money, this is my talent. You can register like this."

All the dialogue takes place at the level of psychic powers, Zhao Mai's mouth does not speak at all, just acting as a double reed. Lizardmen’s language is primitive and simple, without so many vocabulary, and even the concept of a businessman has not yet fully formed. However, in psychic powers, understanding is two-way, and the dragon can always understand the basic meaning of Zhao Mai's words. He dipped his nails in gray ink, and wrote "Six servants such as the dragon and the changer, Liu Jia Qian" on the paper. At the same time, he outlined the relationship between the marginal lines of the scales on Zhao Mai's face and the five senses in a few strokes. Even if the registration is complete.

"The painting is pretty good!" Zhao Mai exclaimed sincerely. The scales are large, small, thick, thin, hard and soft, and different degrees of dragon bloodline affect the features of the lizardman’s facial features and scale parts, and it is basically impossible to reproduce them. Lizardmen have long been able to distinguish facial regions through scale classification by distinguishing the color of Jiaqian. This primitive but equally advanced facial recognition system has also been promoted.

"It is with this ability that I can be honored to receive Lord Tianlong." The lizardman who guarded the gate tried to be serious, but the corners of his mouth were still slightly cocked. Zhao Mai chatted with him a few more words to confirm that he didn't have the idea of ​​changing jobs, and took the opportunity to copy a memory of the lizardman language, and took the "Holy Dragon Man" into the city.

As I said before, Stone Shell City has just experienced the aftermath of an earthquake. The simple houses made of wood, mud, stone and grass have fallen down a lot, and some of them have been more or less affected, so you can see that houses are being repaired and reinforced everywhere. The people of the house. The originally narrow streets are full of materials, and you can only move forward if you dodge carefully.

Since every lizard is born with scales, there is no such thing as abject poverty, so there is no slavery within the lizard people. All the work here is paid, and a large number of repairs have made the entire labor market active. Zhao Mai saw many lizardmen flexing up and down on the wall, carrying building materials with their strong bodies, and completing the work in their hands as quickly as possible. "There is the next one, and the next one." They yelled while working, as if their strong voice was also a kind of capital to promote themselves.

Zhao Mai pulled out a few scales from his wallet, using them as something similar to a memory crystal, and inputting the language of the lizardman. "Take this and put it on your skin, either your own skin or the camouflage skin I made for you. You can understand the less complicated daily conversations, and it should be enough to cope with it. The question is to smash this scale. I have Z insect source material attached to it, and I will receive the signal immediately."

Kiki took the scales and carefully handed them over to Da Mao. She was wearing a children's version of scaly bionic leather, holding her mother's hand, staring at everything around her. "Is this an adventure? What a fun look!"

"This is called a spring outing, adventure is not like this!" Zhao Mai was not going to instill a false worldview in her, lest she would suffer a loss later. "Where does the average adventurer have a reconnaissance satellite on his head, accompanied by the archmage, the goddess of war, and the most dangerous first foodie in the universe? Even the red dragon with the most combat effectiveness among the young dragons is a hostage taken by force. . So, we are adventure at best. And Dad only wants you to explore, not adventure. The two are different."

The daughter seemed to understand, but she nodded vigorously. "Dad, in this world, is there a place where I can explore?"

"Of course there will be. There is no ring alliance here. Many worlds are isolated and independent from each other and can develop a variety of civilizations and wonders. I finally don't need to occupy as many worlds as possible with the Z bug, so here will There are many worlds that can be used for exploration." Zhao Mai touched the top of his daughter's head, and then said: "However, first we must find the shadow dragon."

Going along the road into the city will lead to the area where the half-dragon people gather, which is the most prosperous place in Stone Shell City. From a distance, everyone can see a large number of pure stone buildings, square, cylindrical and pyramid shapes, each of which looks thick and strong. Some buildings have exquisite carvings left by half-dragons at no cost, decorated with sparkling metals and precious stones. These decorations are all aimed at the sky, in order to be able to attract the attention of the dragon in the sky and get their favor. As for the lizardmen walking on the ground, even looking at these decorations is an offense.

The dragons do not live in Stone Shell City, but they will fly to the dragon's den here from time to time to enjoy the feast prepared by the half-dragons. The dragon's cave is in the middle of the half-dragon residence area. It was originally a hill. After countless craftsmen's excavation, repair and carving, it turned into a huge bird's nest building with a hollow in the middle. Zhao Mai saw many cavities left under the dragon's cave, with black marks formed by burning wood for a long time and baking it. Giant dragons are cold-blooded animals. In addition to white dragons who like severe cold, other dragons prefer a warm environment. So the whole dragon cave is almost like a barbecue, but the dragon will never be burned by the fire formed by firewood.

"It seems that our target is the half-dragon region." Diana said to Zhao Mai: "What if I find a okay target, can I not hurt, and report the situation to you directly?"

"Yes. You just need to send a spiritual message to the scales I gave you, and I will receive it, and then I will contact you. Remember, currently we only know the time period and approximate location. What caused the Shadow Dragon? Roots, this is still uncertain, so don’t act rashly. If you find a suspicious target, My Spore Dandelion will immediately start a special surveillance, so I hope you can find and search as much as possible instead of just staring at one."

Diana nodded and said to Alexstrasza while holding the sword in her hand: "Let’s go. Next is your performance. Remember, you are now a half-dragon, not a dragon. People, don't be too high-profile."

Unexpectedly, the Dragon Girl did not go directly, but came to Zhao Mai~www.NovelMTL.com~ stretched out her hand and said confidently: "Boss, I want expedition funds!"

"You're a big red envelope walking around, and you need money?" Zhao Mai spit out, then sighed. Anyway, it’s an effortless thing. Grab a stone from the side of the road while no one notices it and turn it into gold, and then stuff it into Alexstrasza’s hand: "Take it! The investigative intelligence I got from the stone shell Cheng, this piece of fine gold is definitely a priceless thing. You cut a little every time...No, this thing cannot be given to you."

Alexstrasza just wanted to shrink his hand, but Zhao Mai moved faster, and took it back with a thunderous speed. "It's better to leave it to Diana to be more assured. When you need it, you can cut off a piece, and use the rib sword I gave you is no problem. I remember you can make simple weapons?"

"It's not a simple crafting, I will also make artifacts. But don't worry, you don't need such advanced skills." Diana glanced at Alexstrasza who was wearing teardrops, and then said: "Don't be sad. Zhao Mai did the right thing. You are now a half-dragon aristocrat, and I am an attendant. I should carry heavy objects and do these chores."

"Then... If I see something delicious, can I buy it?"

"That's just to say, of course you have to buy it." Diana's curved eyebrows and upturned mouth made Hong Long smile.
