"This ...... Uh, miss. ”

In the unknown area under Tania, Duan Qing, who was completely submerged in darkness, asked in an extremely small voice, "This beautiful young lady, have we met before?" ”

"Perhaps, my memory is not very good."

Fingers with slender nails flicked back and forth between the equally slender long golden hair, and the uninvited guest who exuded a terrifying aura gradually revealed his appearance by slowly approaching: "And I...... I didn't have to answer your questions in the first place, but—"

"I do have some impressions of you." The long golden hair tied together because of the curls outlined the appearance of a beautiful and holy woman, and the golden eyes seemed to have been examining Duan Qing's face back and forth for a while: "I remember giving you two tokens at that time, but-"

"Because I had something to do with the Imperial Capital Redcar." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and pointed to his back, "That elemental staff later lost most of its utility due to a certain magic power collapse, and now it's just an ordinary ornament, Ms. Fula." ”

"Looks like you have a better memory than I do."

The suffocating aura in the chest finally began to slowly disappear, and the woman with coiled blonde hair who had become Ms. Fura by Duan Qing nodded quietly: "You still remember my name." ”

"How could such an impressive lady not remember." Feeling the simulated trembling feeling imposed by the system being withdrawn from his body, Duan Qing, who had been holding back the trembling of his legs, wiped the sweat on his forehead vigorously: "Thinking about it carefully, you saved our lives at that time." ”

"There aren't many adventurers who can help my people out of their misery, so I have some impression of you." Shaking her head, Fura's gaze looked back and forth at Duan Qingzhou for a while: "So...... Why are you here? ”

“……”

As if he hadn't figured out how to answer the other party's question, Duan Qing's voice paused temporarily, and the silent silence then attracted the attention of the female dragon clan in front of him, and the step of walking forward was then stopped by the dagger suddenly blocked by the maid player beside Duan Qing: "Hmm, it seems that you are still hostile to our existence, in that case-"

"No, no, no, no, you're mistaken."

Feeling the sudden tightening of the atmosphere around him, Duan Qing hurriedly pressed the shoulder of Ning Lan, who was whispering in front of him, he stretched out his arm hard, and finally with a harmless expression, he blocked the terrifying aura that the dangerous humanoid creature in front of him was about to exude again: "We don't have any intention of being hostile to you, we just have some ...... Some ......"

"I understand."

Still without any movement, the dragon girl named Fura shifted her gaze slightly: "It took me a long time to understand the thoughts of a small human like you, and you two don't seem to be out of this category, if you are hostile just because of fear, then you can rest assured." ”

"I'm just following the energy of 'Ginn'."

Her gaze moved away from Duan Qing and the two of them, and slowly fell into the pitch-black space behind this passage: "If it is not necessary, I have no intention of harming you, so if the two of you have nothing else to do, the two of you can leave." ”

"Uh, that ......"

Seeing the long golden hair gradually drifting past him, Duan Qing mustered up his courage to speak again: "We, can we follow you?" ”

The footsteps moving forward slowly stopped, and the dragon girl known as Fula looked back at the faces of Duan Qing and the two of them with inexplicable eyes, and a pair of bright eyes located in the depths of the ancient passage shone quietly in the center of the darkness, as if reminding Duan Qing to make further explanations in this way: "We, we have encountered some trouble, so we are hiding in this place, and we were also going to go deeper to break through, but suddenly there was such a person as you, a ......"

"Sir."

An indifferent voice then appeared behind Duan Qing, it was the voice that Ning Lan had stopped Duan Qing from continuing to explain: "Ning Lan knows how happy you are to meet this dragon girl again, sir, but isn't it good to choose to go with you at this time?" ”

“…… What, do you have any concerns? ”

"There's no sense of humanity in her."

Trying to keep her voice as low as possible, the maid player then pulled Duan Qing to hide in the corner: "Since she is not of the same kind, the strength she has does not belong to us, if she really encounters any accidents or dangers, let alone help, she may also attack us at any time." ”

"Of course there are these risks, but these are the ones we should take." Duan Qing, who was silent for a moment, then nodded his head vigorously: "If we want to break through the chaos in front of us in this situation, we can only hope that this accident has happened now." ”

"We haven't been in contact with the investigation team outside our door, and we have other options." Whispering Ning Lan said in a low voice: "The risk of these methods must be much lower than now, there is no need for Mr. to do this." ”

"High risk naturally has high reward." Duan Qing still shook his head resolutely: "And-"

"Now that the Pamirs have already encountered an 'unknown attack', there is not much time left for us to react."

He gritted his teeth, quickly sorted out some of the uneasiness that flashed in his heart, and when he raised his head again, his face was also a little calm, as if he had sorted out his thoughts: "This ...... Uh, Ms. Furla. ”

"I wonder what Ms. Fura just mentioned 'Ginoen' refers to?" A smile appeared on his face: "We might have some information to exchange with each other." ”

“…… It looks like you've made your decision. ”

The golden pupils finally changed a little, and the voice of Fura, who had been standing in front of her and waiting, replied indifferently, "But ...... What I'm looking for, do you really want to know? ”

"You found this place through that cave before, right?" After sorting out his thoughts, Duan Qing replied with a sense of awareness: "At first, we thought that this was Tania's underground waterway, but according to the adventurer's handbook in our hands, this area is not the black market area we are familiar with, but a place that the citizens and adventurers of Tania have never reached and explored. ”

"You must have discovered this uncharted territory through this gap we opened with the mire technique, right?" Speaking of this, his voice was also full of enlightenment: "What is hidden here, you must have guessed a long time ago." ”

"It's true that the adventurers who helped us in the past have already realized it so quickly." Fura's unchanging golden pupils finally changed a little: "That's right, I sensed 'it' aura in the air, so I landed here as fast as I could." ”

"I need to thank you." Her golden eyebrows gradually closed, and she slowly lowered her head, "If it weren't for you, we might not have been able to discover this place." ”

"For our sake, I wonder if you're interested in letting us little mortals see the great wonders of the dragons?" So Duan Qing took a few steps forward with a shy face: "At least explain to us what this 'Jino En' is." ”

"That's not a great miracle, it's the name of another of our dragons who has long since vanished."

Standing in place and silent for a while, after weighing for a moment, Fura spoke again: "But he is not from our Golden Dragon Clan, but a powerful warrior of another well-known Dragon Clan, the Black Dragon Clan. ”

【Ding——】

[Discovered Mission: Resurrected Flame - Golden Sunset.] 】

[Friendship with Fula has become friendly.] 】

“…… He and his tribe still don't know where the long-vanished warrior has gone, or his life or death. ”

Suddenly, the system prompt sound in Duan Qing's ears sounded, and the voice of the dragon girl echoing around became deeper and lower: "The last time I found his traces should be near the Anqi Mountain Range area three years ago......"

"What is the chronology?" Duan Qing, who was pretending to be natural, showed a trace of doubt on his face: "Can you explain first?" ”

"If you humans calculate it, it's about 200 years." Fura's gaze froze for a moment: "If you take your two hundred years as a cycle, that is, around the 90th year of the new calendar—"

"He lost his trace here when this place wasn't Tania."

***********************************

There was a faint glow in the dim passage, showing the blurred scene of the three figures passing by here temporarily at the end of the light source, and the female dragon Fura who did not respond positively to Duan Qing's proposal also walked between this underground passage leading to an unknown direction with slow steps at this time, and used a moment of silence from time to time as a reflection on her choice of the next direction. Looking at the back of the dragon girl in front of her, Duan Qing and Ning Lan, who were following behind, also put away their uneasiness and worry for the time being, and they honestly followed each other into the depths of the passage, and even used some chatter and laughter from time to time to ease the embarrassing atmosphere between each other.

Because these two players knew in their hearts that the dragon girl in front of them, who could take their lives at any time, didn't have much deliberate thoughts about their decision to intervene in the mission and their life or death.

"Nearly 800 years...... Was it so long ago that your people disappeared? Carefully organizing the language, the gray-robed magician found a topic again: "It's been all this time, is this kind of clue still useful?" ”

"That's true for you humans, but for dragons, three years is just a short period of time." Fura replied with a blank face, "Every slumber of the dragons often takes a lot of time, and the age we refer to often refers to the time it takes for an adult dragon to fall asleep once, and when I receive the news of Giron's disappearance, I ...... I've been asleep for two years, too. ”

"In the history of the dragon clan, the sudden disappearance of every adult dragon clan is a major event." Speaking of this, she paused slightly: "Because that is often a sign of some kind of bad omen, the beginning of everything beginning to be destroyed." ”

"Is that what the legends of the dragons say?" Duan Qing muttered unnaturally: "I think it's a powerful creature like the Dragon Clan that causes too much trouble, and it will shake the Free Continent......"

"We are indeed such creatures, so we have been away from this continent for a long time."

The irresistible coercion then revealed itself again in front of the two adventurers for a moment, and then retracted again with Fura's deep voice: "Since entering the era of adventure, we have given up our domination of the free continent, and the life and death of this continent and the development of magic have long had nothing to do with our dragon clan. ”

"Adventure Times?" Glancing at each other with the secret whisper Ning Lan beside him, Duan Qing's expression became puzzled again: "Is it the legendary era that is earlier than the Age of Magic?" ”

"That's right, that's before the Magic Empire was born." As if talking about the memorable past, the voice of the dragon girl echoing in the depths of this dark space also carried a bit of ethereal feeling: "There are powerful humans on the continent, and their strength is enough to compete with any powerful creature in this world, and according to the records left by our people, these people are the earliest ancestors who pioneered your human history. ”

"My people have avoided the world since then." Her gaze then disappeared into the darkness: "Please don't blame our dragons for what happened on this continent after that. ”

"I don't want to have such a connection, but there are all kinds of possibilities." Duan Qing grabbed his head and continued: "For example...... If something happened to Ginoen here, the principalities who live here might have already discovered it. ”

“……”

"That might be a bit rude, but—"

Looking at the silent figure in front of him and the scene that had disappeared into darkness, Duan Qing's voice hesitated to say his thoughts: "I have a question: if that Gino Hon, the member of the dragon clan you are looking for, has died, can his body be made into something else?" ”

"Like an energy source or something?"

Feeling the silent and cold atmosphere in front of him again, the voice of the gray-robed magician became smaller and quieter, and the temporary formation formed by the three figures moving forward along the passage left only their respective footsteps for a while, until a corner loomed in front of them was broken by the sigh of the dragon girl: "...... Oh, yes. ”

"That's what the elders are worried about, too."

The ancient walls expanded a little with the footsteps of the turn, revealing a dark space that was gradually opening up in front of them, and the dragon girl who walked in the front also raised her slightly shiny hand and replied in a voice that was not like a human.
