Chapter 270: Mortal Sex and the Gods 1
"You are the new kid, my name is Yang Zhuo, the person in charge of the Shamonta branch of the Saint Yan Guild, of course, you can also call me the president. Yang Zhuo said straight to Wright.
"Ah, President, my name is Wright Hain, and I was introduced by Timod. Wright hurriedly sat up from the couch, leaned forward slightly, and bowed.
After all, in a sense, he can be regarded as an absolute junior, and this kind of etiquette cannot be ignored.
This is one of several etiquettes that have been common since the modernization of Avontelei.
"Hmm. As long as Timod introduces children, I will treat them as excellent talents first. I just heard Nick tell me about the two opposing demonic powers in your body. I'm very interested in that. Yang Zhuo gave Wright a look, and there seemed to be something strange in it.
"Can I remain silent for the time being about the Demonic Force? This involves some of my privacy, and I don't want to share this with anyone else. Wright said, trying to dispel Yang Zhuo's further inquiry.
"Uh, okay. Yang Zhuo replied a little helplessly, and slowly walked to the chair in the reception room on the side.
The layout of the reception rooms reveals the combination of the Flame Empire and the Avantlay Empire, like the layout of the city a little further south.
A marble coffee table sits in the center, flanked by a simple wooden antique desk. Next to it was a wooden desk with a set of tea sets purchased from the Flame Empire.
Even the tea inside has a strong aroma to the outside.
"I want to sit down with you and talk, since you came to us on Timod's recommendation, you must be more than just looking for a job. Of course, the Saint Flame Guild doesn't offer much of a salary. Yang Zhuo said, sat down in his chair, and looked at Wright with Erlang's legs on his feet.
"Salary is not my focus, I'm here to figure something out. Wright chose to get straight to the point.
After all, the most important things are discussed properly, and the other small things may be easily resolved without negotiation.
"Oh, do you want to know something mysterious? about dragons?" Yang Zhuo didn't go around in circles, he liked people like Wright who were straightforward.
Although sometimes Wright doesn't necessarily show this kind of excellent characteristic.
"I majored in occultism in college, but I didn't have the opportunity to go to war when I joined the army, and I didn't have much to do to keep the peace. I can't touch anything about the occult other than training. Of course, the content of my major has less to do with magic potions, magic powers, and more to do with exploring ancient creatures and the ruins of legendary gods. Wright said.
"Don't worry, sit down and say. Yang Zhuo waved his hand and motioned for Wright to do it.
"Thank you, President, I continued. Wright said with some caution and humility.
Yang Zhuo nodded and motioned for Wright to continue.
After clearing his throat, Wright continued:
"The first thing in front of me is the dragons. This race was not mysterious, but now it is becoming more and more mysterious. I've seen a few birdmen who have dragon wings, but don't have any associated magical powers. So I have never been able to find any trace of them, and the gods, each of which is said to have a power beyond mortals, and although I have come into contact with some ruins, I still can't find the one I encountered twenty years ago. He is a god looming in the mist, with the power to stand up to the dragons. ”
"I'm actually curious about you, and of course I don't care what happened to you twenty years ago. Rather, you can mention the dragons. It just so happened that some time ago we found some books from the melting ice of Lake Jobeer. In about half a month, the information we get after sorting it out will be reported to the general association. Of course, until then, our insiders will be given a concise profile, which can be regarded as a way to work in the future. However, Nick just told me that there are two kinds of demonic power in your body, ice and fire, right, and I'm very interested in this. A man I once knew, he had also seen a teenager with these two types of demonic powers. If he had lived to this point, he would have been forty or fifty years old. Yang Zhuo said, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.
"Who is it?" asked Wright, very directly.
"I haven't heard the name of that teenager. But I know a few things. When I was in Yancheng, the imperial capital of the Flame Empire, I heard that the boy was the true son of the dragon, and he possessed the power of the ancient dragons. Some say that he incarnated as a real dragon, others say that he killed an entire army of guards without much effort, and even forced the emperor to remove the captain of the guard and stay with him to prevent further criticism. I have also heard an ancient legend that dragons, or humans with dragon powers, deceived the god of time and gained eternal life, they do not grow old, and they do not change their faces. And that young man may still maintain his original appearance, and he has two kinds of demonic power that restrain each other. ”
Yang Zhuo's voice gradually deepened, and his eyes glowed green like wolves in the desert at night.
Seeing that Wright's heart was furious, he looked at each other for a second and then shifted his gaze and no longer felt the same gaze.
"That's certainly not me. I did have contact with dragons, though. Wright replied quietly, not lying.
"You're definitely not him, because I just feel pure fire in you, and I don't have the complicated aura of dragons. So, now you can say what you want to know. But I won't answer you right away, here, in order to get paid more than salary, you need extra work. That is, overtime. Yang Zhuo said, like a rich man with a fat head and big ears in the factory.
They don't have to work, but they have an endless source of wealth.
"I have only two things about mysterious things. First, I wanted to find out some of the whereabouts of the gods who fought with the dragons twenty years ago. The second is the picture, what it represents. Wright said, pulling a drawing out of his underwear pocket.
The pockets of his underwear were specially sewn by him to hold some important information, and the picture was a copy of his copy, and he wanted to keep the original for a while.
"What is this?" Yang Zhuo took the picture and just glanced at it, and the expression of surprise and doubt on his face was irrepressibly revealed.
"How did you get into that ruin. Yang Zhuo asked Wright in a stern tone.
"Huh?" Wright didn't react for a moment.
"That ruin, the place called 'Death Cold'. The northernmost part of the Avantlay Empire, near the ocean and ice. Yang Zhuo explained.
"I hadn't been there, this picture was actually taken with a camera, and I redrew it. It was given to me by a friend of mine, a friend who was studying ancient creatures. He told me that the things on the picture were no longer in the category of ancient mysteries, but more like theology or occultism, so I asked him to keep it and try to find some clues as much as I could. He said that the place where he got the stuff buried more secrets. Wright explained.
"Well, that's a pity. If that classmate of yours can still be reached, I don't mind introducing him to headquarters. There are some things you really should know more about, such as this 'Death Cold'. It is a cave that was excavated on an island surrounded by ice and seawater. Legend has it that a hundred or two hundred years ago there was a brief battle here, which of course had nothing to do with Avantley, like the battle between the people of the Cruster Empire and some thieves. Some say they've seen dragons there, but they're all buried with the ice, and there's no way to know about it. As the climate warms in recent years, there is a high probability that there will be more explorers to visit. Yang Zhuo explained the picture as much as possible to Wright, opened the picture thoroughly, laid it out, and placed it on the desk.
"It's an old story. Yang Zhuo analyzed:
"Maybe it has something to do with the Cruz Empire, I'm not entirely sure about that. But the deliberately added felt hats and cotton coats on the murals here, as well as the emblem of the double-headed eagle, should be a hint. And there are a lot of red things painted around, like lava, and the people here look very abnormal wearing these things. Well, well, in general, it may be a legend. Isn't it now that our war with the Cruscod Empire is over, and when their merchants come to Shamonta, you can go to them and ask for some books on ancient legends, I think it will be rewarding. Perhaps, when our guild has a mission to the Western Realms, you can also ask for it, and you should be able to get some information in their capital. Yang Zhuo said, returning the picture to Wright.
"You answered my second question, but what about the first one?" Wright asked, looking a little confused.
After all, he still didn't get much answer to the second question.
"We've been exploring dragons as well. However, for more information, one should indeed head to the Flame Empire to the south. Although they are very chaotic now, the Imperial Capital Yancheng is not a blocked forbidden area. Even though it's all ruins and dilapidated houses, if you get some traces of Starlight, I really recommend checking it out. Yang Zhuo prompted.
"Actually, twenty years ago, I not only encountered dragons, but also a monster that looked like a big bird. I've always wanted to look at it again and do some research. Wright added.
"Tell me about it. Yang Zhuo said, leaning back on the wooden chair and straightening his hair, which looked a little messy.
"It's a monster with bird-like wings and a body up to thirty meters long. But his feet weren't claws, but two tentacles like vines, with disgusting eyeballs on them. He arrived with a mist, but after fighting the dragons, the fog cleared again. Wright recounted almost instinctively.
At that young age, he could calmly remember that these were already extraordinary talents.
But today, when he talks about this experience, his eyes still reveal indescribable fear.
"That's the gods, sixty in order, lord of the dragons. Yang Zhuo easily told Wright the correct answer.
