Chapter 15: Descendants of the Dragon's Blood
Threatened by dozens of crossbows, Mario eventually jumped off the wall.
Mario, who jumped off the wall, was surrounded by more than a dozen heavily armored guards, and because of his short stature, Mario was not visible from the outside.
Zhang Yao asked the guards to rush to the main hall with Mario, and several heavily armored guards were cautious along the way, for fear that Mario would be trampled to death if he was not careful.
"Go get some mushrooms!" After arriving at the main hall, Zhang Yao sat on the dragon chair, supported his chin with his hand, and said while looking at Mario standing below.
A guard followed Zhang Yao's words and left, and Mario gasped for breath when he heard the word mushroom, like an angry bull.
"I'm a dwarf, and although my blood is not pure, mushrooms can poison me! This is murder, a king is murdering his subjects, and you, the loyal guards, have not stopped it, but have become accomplices of evil! ”
Mario is not a low-level intelligent being, and as he speaks, he dances and gestifies to the heavily armored guards on either side, hoping to resonate.
But Mario's actions are destined to be in vain, these heavily armored guards are all personal guards carefully selected by Zhang Yao, who cares what a dwarf is saying.
Mario's words did not arouse even the slightest sympathy, and the guards remained motionless until a plate of mushrooms was brought to the main hall, and the eyes of the people were fixed on Mario.
"Let's eat!" Zhang Yao pointed to the plate containing mushrooms, and saw that Mario's face was even darker.
"You're murder!" Mario swallowed and spat, shaking his head repeatedly.
"I promise you'll be fine if you eat the mushrooms, and there may even be changes you don't expect!"
Zhang Yao looked at Mario sincerely, Mario raised his eyes to see Zhang Yaoman's encouraging gaze, and then looked around and found that the guards on both sides had their hands on the sword.
I don't know if Zhang Yao's encouragement worked, or if the guards on both sides clutched the hilt of the sword were more intimidating. Mario looked at the mushrooms on the plate and hesitated, and finally grabbed a few mushrooms together with a sigh, and sighed mournfully: "The faint king is in charge, and he kills Zhongliang in vain." I, Mario, have been draining the sewers for the Empire for thirty years, is this what happened to me? ”
His gaze swept through the hall again, and Mario threw the mushroom in his hand directly into his mouth, closing his eyes tightly.
"Crunch!"
The chewing of teeth sounded intermittently, and the scent of mushrooms spread in all directions.
The eyes of countless people in the hall were focused on Mario's body, and Zhang Yao couldn't help but stand up.
"Uhh
In Zhang Yao's gaze, Mario suddenly let out a miserable scream, and his body fell to the ground heavily with the scream, and the whole person continued to tremble as if he had been electrocuted.
"Mario! Old horses? "Ao Ao" Zhang Yao called Mario's name softly, and Uncle Ma, who had always been strong, looked like he was going to die this time.
Mario fell to the ground foaming at the mouth, his hands and feet twitching unconsciously, and the frequency of the twitches became less and less.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yao sighed heavily, it seems that Uncle Ma, who didn't save the princess, is really going to be spoiled by himself.
"Take it down, see if there is any salvation, if you don't save it, you will be buried!" Zhang Yao sat back on the dragon chair with some decline and waved his hand, as if bidding farewell to his childhood.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two guards take the order, and just as they try to take Mario out, something unexpected happens.
The first change comes from Mario's suspenders, where a soft glow of five colors surrounds the blue camisole and visibly changes color.
The aqua blue suspenders slowly changed to pure white, and the red hat on Mario's head also changed to a white and red M style, the only thing that did not change was the red shirt with the bottom layer behind the suspenders.
The second change comes from Mario's body, the original Mario is only about one meter, which is an authentic dwarf height.
And now Mario is slowly getting bigger under the wrapping of the five-colored glow. The body rose rapidly with the appearance of light, and in just two breaths, it became a middle-aged uncle who was one meter eight tall and had a weathered face.
"It's an upgrade!"
The light that flashed on Mario's body Zhang Yao is no stranger, and this is a huge change that Mario has only had after he has upgraded.
Just saw Mario foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over his body, Zhang Yao, who originally felt that he was nine out of ten, thought that Mario was going to die, but he never expected that there would be a big reversal in the end.
"Head, I'm dizzy!"
With the end of the transformation, Mario staggered to his feet, and at this moment, Mario had not yet noticed the huge change in himself, but just looked at the guards around him with their mouths wide open, and felt a little inexplicable.
"Haha, haha! I knew that Mario was poisoned by mushrooms! Looking at Mario, who was a little dizzy below, Zhang Yao laughed heartily, and came to Mario's side in a few steps.
The original Mario could only go around Zhang Yao's waist, and he couldn't hit his chest with a hat. After the transformation, Mario's image has changed greatly, not only is he about the same height as Zhang Yao, but even his temperament is a little more vicissitudes, and he no longer has the confusion when he was a dwarf.
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Yao patted Mario on the shoulder, he was not only happy to have more Mario's combat power, but the sense of accomplishment after saving his childhood idol.
"Huh!"
Mario looked at Zhang Yao, who was as tall as himself, and sighed lightly, looked down at his body, and then looked at the guards standing on both sides.
"I've grown taller, I've really grown taller!" Mario was overwhelmed with excitement, and while swallowing his saliva, he muttered to himself again and again: "I always thought that the other half of the dragon bloodline was fake, but I didn't expect that I was really half dwarf blood, and the remaining half was dragon blood!" ”
"You have dragon blood!"
Listening to Mario's self-muttering, Zhang Yao was a little dumbfounded, and then saw Mario raise his hand lightly and whispered like a treasure: "Yes, I have half of the dragon blood, don't believe you!" ”
In Mario's hand was a red fireball, this fireball was red and purple, and the flames inside were more like liquid and constantly flowing, full of destructive power at a glance.
"Any idea what this is?"
Mario's face was also full of smiles, and he said proudly: "I have half of the dragon's blood, and this is the legendary dragon's breath!" If I go down with a fireball, even a 10,000-pound boulder will be burned to ashes in an instant! ”
"Dragon's breath, that's fine!"
Zhang Yao was not frightened by the destructive power of the fireball, but after hearing the word dragon breath, he felt that there were 10,000 cows and sheep roaring in his heart, and he was scorched by the system's spoof.
This system is really powerful, and it actually gives Mario's memory a mix of dwarves and dragons. Now that this signature move is mixed with the dragon's breath, it's really embarrassing for Uncle Mario.
"Your Majesty, you're right, I'm really not afraid of eating mushrooms! If it weren't for these mushrooms today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to awaken the dragon bloodline for the rest of my life! The smile on Mario's face could no longer be hidden, and he kept playing with the fireball in his hand, and said to himself: "It's really strange, it turns out that the dragon awakens the bloodline to eat mushrooms!" ”
Mario plays with the fireball in his hand, and he looks like a winner in life.
Zhang Yao looked at the smile on Mario's face and laughed along, as if a weasel saw a big rooster and whispered, "Mario! Now that you've awakened the dragon's bloodline, do you have any plans for the future? ”
"Intended?" Mario came back to his senses for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't have any plans. ”
"You are also a strong man now, and the 10,000-pound boulder burned to ashes in a wave of your hand, and you should also plan for the future, do you still want to build a sewer for a lifetime!"
Zhang Yao Zhizhu was guiding Mario's thoughts, and sure enough, Mario was stunned when he heard Zhang Yao's words, and said in a low voice: "Are you saying that I am also a strong man, and I can do some things that I didn't dare to think about or do before!" ”
"Of course!" Zhang Yao saw Mario's neck raise after taking the bait, and his wealth trembled, and he shook the black power suit embroidered with gold trim on his body.
"I see!" Mario nodded heavily, and said to himself: "I was kicked out of the dwarven tribe when I was very young because of my impure blood, and now that I have the strength, I want to go back, back to the dwarf tribe!" ”
"Your Majesty, I've figured it out. I'm going back to my tribe, I'm going to take back my honor! Mario's eyes were filled with a scorching light, and he reached out to lift the suspender suit, and walked away without looking back: "Your Majesty, I am going back to my own tribe." Thank you for your kindness to me, I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life! ”
Mario disappeared into the night sky with a few jumps, leaving only in the blink of an eye, so that Zhang Yao had disappeared into the night without showing it at all.
Zhang Yao looked at the direction where Mario disappeared, and after standing still for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Nima, it's okay to repay now."
