Volume 2: The Secret of the Illusion Chapter 86 The Legend of the Dragon Palace
Lie An sat up straight, and slowly spoke to Mu Cheng, his voice firm and distant, but his eyes drifted into the distance.
"A long time ago, when our ancestors were still living in Dragon Palace City, we heard a legend, and that legend probably said:
One day, when Ryugu Castle really encounters a catastrophe, a human savior will descend from the sky, and when the human savior and the dragon man are combined, they will give birth to the real savior twins, and the savior twins will help Ryugu Castle tide over the difficulties and lead the dragon people out of suffering.
At that time, we all firmly believed in this legend, because this legend was based on the prophecy handed down by the goddess of water in the Dragon Palace, and it was for this reason that we, the dragons, were very friendly to the humans who happened to enter the fantasy of the Dragon Palace, and the humans also had a good impression of the dragons, and even many humans and the dragonmen eventually became married.
Just a hundred years ago, the arrival of a human being, changed all that. ”
Speaking of this, Lie'an choked up, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were bloodshot.
"This human was very friendly at first, and he was very handsome, and he spoke softly and funny, and he won the heart of the dragon princess after a short time here.
The dragon king and the dragon mother secretly promised that this human being was very in line with the wishes of the two of them, so they followed the willfulness of the dragon princess and recruited the human being as a colt, not to mention, these two people really had a very good time.
It's just that everyone didn't see the ambition of this human being, this human didn't know where to get a monster, secretly raised every day, controlled the monster, and wanted to seize the throne of the dragon king, but unfortunately, before the time to launch, it was happened to be bumped into by the dragon princess.
The human being was afraid of the dragon princess Gaomi Dragon King, so he brutally killed the dragon princess, but the paper could not contain the fire, the dragon princess never appeared, the dragon king and the dragon mother of course would be suspicious, at first they did not expect that the human who loved their daughter so much would kill the dragon princess, until one day the dragon king did not know how to find out about it.
The human had already rebelled, and when he saw that the matter had come to this, he carried the monster he raised, and had a great battle with the dragon king, which was earth-shattering, and fought for several days in a row, and finally the human was killed by the dragon king, and the dragon king also fell into a coma.
And the monster that was raised, because the owner died, turned out to be extremely crazy, and exchanged his life with the dragon king, only to be repelled by the dragon king's serious injuries.
After another ten years, the monster actually came back for revenge, fortunately, there was the existence of this water curtain sky that shrouded the illusion of the entire Dragon Palace, which blocked the monster, but the monster attacked the water curtain day and night, and all the dragons were panicked, afraid that the water curtain sky would be broken one day.
As you might have guessed, yes, that monster is the current Hades.
Then came the beginning of our tragedy, the Mother of Dragons did not know where to get a plan, and began to carry out reforms, closing the Dragon Palace Illusion, expelling those of us who had guided the human into Dragon Palace City and some of the dragons who opposed her, as a sacrificial team, specially serving the Hades and feeding the Hades.
At the beginning, there was still support in Ryugu Castle, plus our food reserves and labor, although life was not as comfortable as Ryugu Castle, it was not bad, and everyone lived like this.
It's just that later, the Dragon Palace City has been reformed again and again, reducing food support, and the heavenly gift has slowly decreased, and there is the existence of the Hades outside, so it can't go out to fish, so it has deteriorated to what it is now. ”
After listening to this story, although Mu Cheng obtained a lot of information, he had a lot of doubts, and he didn't quite understand what this story had to do with the method that Lie'an said before.
Lie'an also seemed to know Mu Cheng's doubts, and continued.
"Our ancestors, when they came out of Dragon Palace City, brought out a Dragon Pill, Dragon Pill, as the name suggests, can be transformed into a dragon, you eat this Dragon Pill, you can become a dragon man within 12 hours.
But I only have one Dragon Pill, I tell this story reason, the first I want to make sure that you are the legendary savior, if you are most likely not, then I have to think carefully about whether to give it to you, I hope that the Dragon Pill will bring help to the legendary savior.
Second, because of the timeliness of the Dragon Pill, I have to wait for the most critical moment before I can give it to you, so I can only ask you to wait patiently for a while. ”
Mu Cheng was excited when he first heard about the magical thing of the Dragon Pill, but after listening to Lie'an's two conditions, his expression instantly became very strange.
"If it's because of these two problems, I think you can show me the pill first, maybe I can solve these two problems."
Don't look at my young age, I'm also an alchemist, let me study the ingredients of the Dragon Pill, maybe I can copy it. ”
As soon as Lie'an heard that he was going to give the Dragon Pill to Mu Cheng for research, the first thing he thought of was to decompose the Dragon Pill or something, so where would he be willing, in case the Dragon Pill research was gone, it would really be missing an important hole card, and he wanted to refuse, but he heard Mu Cheng say again.
"Don't be busy refusing yet, if it doesn't work, I promise that I will return the Dragon Pill as it is, my research method is different from others, and it won't damage the Dragon Pill in the slightest.
If it succeeds, I think it will be beneficial to both of us, and I can add a cooperation condition, whether the copy is successful or not, I am willing to help you with free alchemy, of course, the materials still have to be produced by you. ”
When Lie An heard Mu Cheng say this, he hesitated for a while, according to normal thinking, the Dragon Pill is a fifth-order pill, which is not something that a child like Mu Cheng can refine at all, that is, it will inevitably fail.
But Mu Cheng's condition made him quite moved, if it was really as Mu Cheng said, the Dragon Pill would be returned as it was, then wouldn't it be possible to get Mu Cheng's alchemy for nothing, it would be a qualitative change for their Fierce Dragon Clan.
The dragon people race, whether it is physical strength or magic power, has a very high level, so it is quite rough to use, and their habitual way is to reduce ten times with one force, so they are not good at fine alchemy and other work.
In addition, the dragon people in the Dragon Palace Illusion Realm, after so many years of closure, for alchemy, there is a serious loss of knowledge of various methods, although I don't know if there are alchemists in Dragon Palace City, but it can be determined that there are no outside Dragon Palace City.
What really made Lie An hesitate was that when Mu Cheng was researching, if there was a mistake or accident and the Dragon Pill was lost, then whether this deal was worth it or not.
However, it didn't take long to think about it, and Lie'an made up his mind, anyway, with the current situation, it was only a matter of time to give the Dragon Pill to the human in front of him sooner or later.
So you have to give it anyway, why not take advantage of the gamble now, as for the dragon pill to get this kind of accident, then think of a way.
Moreover, even if the human in front of him is not the savior he is looking for, it seems that the dragon clan on his side can't wait for the next human, the amount of food of the Hades is increasing day by day, and the heavenly gift is decreasing day by day, and now it has reached its limit.
"Okay, I agreed, but Hualong Dan is not here with me now, in my house, it just so happens that this is not a place to talk for a long time, why don't we go to my house to talk, it just so happens that you want some other information, you can ask us slowly." ”
Mu Cheng Xiaochi and the others, when they heard Lie'an's proposal, looked at each other and nodded in agreement, as for worrying that Lie'an would set a trap to harm them, the two of them were not very worried.
Let's not talk about Lie'an, it's unlikely that he would do this kind of thing, even if he did, with Mu Cheng's strength, he could easily break through the encirclement, and there would be no danger at all.
So Mu Cheng put on a wide black robe and completely enveloped his body inside, and the four of them set foot on the road back to the village.
"By the way, Brother Mu, don't blame me for being too talkative, may I ask you that you will give us enough food, where is the food, if there is more, I can help move it together." ”
On the way back, Liewen hesitated for a long time, and finally asked this doubt.
Mu Cheng knew what Liewen was thinking, but he didn't blame Liewen, after all, food was the most critical and basic factor in the cooperation between them.
Mu Cheng didn't speak, and directly swiped his hands to prove it with action.
With the sliding of Mu Cheng's hands, in front of Mu Cheng, two huge pieces of raw meat suddenly appeared, although Liewen didn't know what kind of meat this raw meat piece was, but this hand really shocked him.
"Space props?"
It's just that this only surprised him a little and returned to normal, because almost all human beings who entered the Dragon Palace Illusion Realm basically brought space props, and he just didn't think of it for a while.
Mu Cheng didn't speak, just nodded, he had investigated this matter before, it seemed that the humans who came in before would have space props, so he revealed that he had space props, and it shouldn't have caused much reaction.
Mu Cheng was about to take the two huge pieces of meat back into the reincarnation space, but was stopped by Liewen.
"That, Little Brother Mu, can you let me and Brother An take these two pieces of meat, it's not that I'm worried about you, but when I go back, I suddenly took out two pieces of such huge meat from Brother An's house, it's really weird, take it back now, it feels more real." ”
Mu Cheng knew that Liewen must have some other thoughts in his heart, but as long as these thoughts were harmless to him, then he didn't care, and what Liewen said was not unreasonable.
"What you said makes sense, then it's troublesome for the two of you to take it. ”
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, this is what we eat, and it's right to take it back, but in fact, I'm a little embarrassed to do it, and I haven't done anything yet, so I took so many of your things. ”
Lie An was a little embarrassed and apologized to Mu Cheng.
Originally, when Liewen said that, Liean wanted to interrupt him, after all, he had just started cooperating, and he started asking for nothing without paying anything, which was really strange.
However, he also has some selfish intentions, the food in the village is indeed not enough, if Mu Cheng doesn't give it, he really doesn't know where tomorrow's food is, so after thinking about it, he still didn't interrupt Liewen's words.
"It doesn't matter, since it's already a cooperative relationship, it's also a very important part of fulfilling the agreement, and the story you said before made me know a lot of things, and it's a deal, right?"
Mu Cheng smiled slightly and comforted Lie Andao.
Ryan looked at the child smiling so brightly in front of him, and suddenly felt that maybe as he thought, these two people were the real savior twins.
