“......”

Oreo felt completely defeated.

He moved a chair and sat down across from Tamya, who glared at him without fear.

Oreo rubbed his nose and whispered.

"That...... Sheriff Tamia, let's talk about the dragon. ”

Tamia didn't listen to Oreo at all, she pouted and crawled out of the covers.

Although he was wearing a woolen shirt, his slender and round legs still dangled in front of Oreo's eyes.

She pulled her hair and looked Oreo up and down.

"Detective Oreo, I didn't expect you to be a decent gentleman, I underestimated you before."

"...... Tamia"

Oreo whispered a reminder, but was interrupted by Tamia.

She clasped her hands to her chest and said to herself.

"Angelil always praised you in front of me, and now it seems that she is right...... Detective Oreo, you're not as bad as I thought you were. ”

Although he was being complimented, Oreo didn't show any happiness on his face.

He tilted his head away and muttered.

"Tamia, you're not wearing pants."

Tamia finally knew what was going on in Oreo's words.

She pursed her lips, and said with a big grin.

"It's not that the old lady is not wearing underwear, and where are your eyes looking!"

“......”

To this day, Oreo has not found a way to communicate with Tamya.

He was silent for a moment and whispered.

"Tamia, I'll have to explain to you about the dragon."

"What's the explanation for this?"

Tamia shrank back, covering her legs with the quilt, and then shifted, "But I'd like to hear what you can say." ”

Oreo nodded, pulling a red gem out of his pocket.

The moment she saw the red stone, Tamia forgot to breathe, and she stared at the red stone in a daze.

The candlelight also seemed to be attracted to the ruby, and they scrambled through the dragon's eye, creating a layer of red waves in the office.

"Tamia, Tamia."

Retracting the dragon's eye, Oreo whispered Tamia's name.

Tamia came back to her senses and muttered.

"What's that?"

Oreo whispered.

"Dragon's Eye, I think you've heard the name."

"Dragon's Eye!"

Of course Tamia knew the name, it was the root of the dragon's power.

Once a mortal captures the dragon's eye, he can draw incomparably more power from the dragon's eye.

She said incredulously, "So the legend is true!" ”

"That's right."

Staring into Tamia's eyes, Oreo quickly said, "So I'm not a dragon, I'm just borrowing the power of a dragon's eye." ”

Tamia glared at Oreo in shock, her mouth open, her voice dry.

"Legend also says that humans who use the power of dragons will fall into the abyss......"

Oreo spread his hands.

"It's just that there will be after-effects...... But I had no choice but to do it, after all, you got into such a big trouble, didn't you? ”

After Oreo's reminder, Tamia remembered the events of that day.

Now that I think about it, I did get into a lot of trouble when I was not deeply involved in the world, and if it weren't for this obscene detective, I would have ......

Tamia, you can't be cowardly!

Tamia secretly cheered herself up in her heart, she pinched her thigh hard in the quilt, and said fiercely.

"Even if you don't save me, you have to save Angelil, don't you! Don't think I'm going to be grateful to you! ”

"I never thought about it."

Oreo shook his head and took something out of his pocket, a stacked drawing.

He slowly spread out the blueprint and pushed it in front of Tamya.

"Tamya, here's the blueprint for that warehouse, and you'll have to give me that key as a deal."

Angered by his natural attitude, Tamia became angry again.

"It's a deal again, isn't your mind full of deals!"

Not understanding why Tamia was angry, Oreo slowly folded the drawing and whispered.

"Tamya, I think you need to take a break."

"Do you mean I'm not awake enough!"

Tamia exclaimed, "Detective Oreo, I'm telling you, I'm very conscious right now. ”

Hearing this, Oreo paused, quickly folded the drawing, and then stood up.

Enraged by his movements, Tamia was almost mad, and she yelled like a shrew.

"I don't want to make a deal with you anymore! Grab your drawings and get out of here! ”

After saying this, the air seemed to freeze except for the thumping heartbeat.

He thought Oreo was going to blast himself out, but unexpectedly, he smiled hard and repeated.

"You really need to rest."

Looking at his expression, Tamia's tone instantly softened, and she muttered.

"I mean, after all these days, that guy who processes poppy candy should have moved a long time ago."

Oreo shook his head, his voice determined.

"My people have been watching them and they're still there."

Tamia, Tamia, what's wrong with you.

Surprised by her strange performance, Tamia rubbed her cheeks and said weakly.

"Oh...... Good...... Then I'll give it to you tomorrow. ”

She paused, then continued, "But you have to answer me two questions, or I'll leak the Dragon's Eye story...... This is another deal I have with you. ”

"I shouldn't have saved you."

Oreo sat back in his place, sighing and rubbing his temples.

“...... You say. ”

Tamia said quickly.

"Did you take advantage of me in the first deal?"

Unexpectedly, Oreo hesitated, and this hesitation was the best answer.

Sure enough, he said with a bitter face.

"It's a good deal for you and me, and you don't have to think about anything other than trading."

Tamia said inch by inch.

"The second question is, what did you find in 223 during that expedition to the northern wastelands?"

Before Oreo could answer, Tamia knew what he wanted to say, so she spoke aloud.

"Don't tell me about the strange novel, you have to answer me personally!"

Sure enough, Oreo didn't want to answer the question.

He retracted into his chair like a deflated ball.

Tamia pursed her lips and was about to say something, but Oreo spoke, his voice faint.

"Every year, countless people on the mainland are chasing the traces of the black dragon Kutaka, and in 223, the clues to its hiding place suddenly became clear, and now I think that it is the most lame trap.

The Okassim Empire, the East Ikra Empire, and the Venada Empire all organized expeditions to the northern wastelands.

In this process, the human beings continued to suffer internal friction, coupled with the pursuit of the dragons, and most of the three expeditions were damaged. ”

Through Oreo's words, Tamia imagined how tragic the expedition was, which made her think highly of the detective.

She pursed her lips and asked, "Why did you take Atifa with you on that expedition?" ”

Oreo smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Atifa is an astrologer, so it's understandable that I should bring her with me."

"Astrologer!"

Tamia exclaimed.

"Isn't that also a legendary profession!"

Oreo said calmly.

"Astrologers have extremely high requirements for bloodlines, but they are not uncommon."

Without giving Tamia a chance to ask more questions, Oreo waved his hand and slowly got up.

"I've answered both questions, Sheriff Tamia, it's time for you to rest."

"Cut."

Tamia shushed, but lay down anyway, staring straight at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, regular breathing sounded in the office.

Tamia thought the sound would make her feel disgusting, but eventually realized that she didn't hate it.

She slowly closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
