097 The Strangeness of the Dragon Maiden
Chen Xiansong's mind came up with a picture of a villain-type lizard, so frightened that he hid in the quilt and shivered, and then looked at the other party's very 'deterrent' appearance now, the contrast between the two was too different, and he couldn't help but chuckle. Whether it is human beings or other intelligent creatures, whether in ancient times or today, mothers use the same means to put their children to sleep.
When Chen Xiansong was young, he was very naughty, and Sister Bai scared him like this: If you don't sleep, the giant panda will come over, take you to the zoo in Sichuan, and then eat you as bamboo in your stomach. Frightened, as soon as he heard the word panda, he obediently climbed onto the bed and covered his head and shrunk into a ball.
It wasn't until his birthday, after Sister Bai took him to the zoo to see the panda, that he realized that it was very cute.
Thinking of the past, Chen Xiansong's mood was a little depressed. The dragon girl noticed this anomaly, the slender silver-scaled tail behind it wagged, and the end was shrunk and rolled up, like a spring roll, and she asked with some uncertainty, "Did what I just say make you unhappy?" ”
Chen Xiansong was stunned for a moment, then cheered up and smiled, and asked, "I heard you say just now, someone bought dragon crystal powder from you, what is that?" ”
"You haven't heard of it? I heard from the director that dragon crystal powder is a very famous thing in the Anthropocene world. There was an incredible look in the eyes of the dragon girl, and she scratched her face with her long sharp claws, and the claws rubbed against the scales on her face and squeaked: "A few days ago, the humans who bought dragon crystal powder from me, after getting the goods, I don't know how happy Lu Dao was. ”
"But I really don't know what the road is," Chen Xiansong shrugged.
"Then I'll give you some. This is the finest dragon crystal powder that I specially left behind. The dragon girl turned around, and then out of nowhere took out a small lilac cloth bag, her eyes narrowed, and her smile seemed to be a little sly: "You can take it and taste it, it's delicious." If you don't believe it, you can try it now. ”
Chen Xiansong took it, opened the small bag and saw that it was a small pinch of lilac powder, and when the bag was opened, a light fragrance spread, he took a breath gently, feeling comfortable all over his body, and there seemed to be a lot of energy pouring out of his body, and he felt that he had no problem going up to the twenty floors in one breath.
"It's not going to be a stimulant or an addictive substance like a drug." Chen Xiansong licked his lips and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
"Doping? Drugs? The dragon girl thought for a while, roughly guessed the meaning of these two words, she glared at her eyes and feigned anger: "How is it possible, the dragon crystal powder of our dragon clan, but everyone recognizes it as a good thing, especially this purple high-grade goods, ordinary people can't buy it if they want to, if you are not my friend, I won't give it to you." ”
Chen Xiansong had to apologize again and again.
Although the dragon 'girl' is not a woman yet, she is already very girly, although it is a feint of anger, but Chen Xiansong coaxed for a while before she turned 'anger' into a smile, and then urged repeatedly: "Eat a little and try it, try it." ”
Chen Xiansong couldn't resist her, so he had to apply some powder with his fingertips and put it in his mouth. The next moment, the peculiar fragrance slowly spread on the tip of his tongue, and then spread to the entire mouth, the tongue and teeth were slippery and slippery, very comfortable, the brain seemed to pause for a moment at this moment, and then sobered up again, he savored the taste, felt a little familiar, and after a while, he remembered, yes, that night, when he kissed Bai Min, it was also this feeling.
The dragon girl half-squatted to the side and looked at him with a smile: "How is it, it tastes good." ”
Chen Xiansong nodded with a strange face, just eating something, it can actually be reminiscent of kissing, this so-called 'dragon crystal powder' is too strange. But it feels pretty good, he has to admit it. …,
"By the way, I remember your name was Annie. My name is Chan Hyun Song. Lives near Greystone Village. This thing called dragon crystal powder is indeed more to his liking, Chen Xiansong put it away, and then touched it on his body, and wanted to give a gift to the other party, but after touching it for a long time, he couldn't even find a copper coin. He was used to the days when everything was taken care of by Bai Min, and he didn't have anything on him at all.
A little embarrassed, Chen Xiansong scratched his head.
"Chen Xiansong? Greystone Village? Anne shook her head sideways, and although she was a strange creature, she looked quite cute: "I seem to have heard it somewhere, as if there is a ...... It doesn't seem to be ......" After a while, she shook her head vigorously: "Mom said that if you are an adult, you can't remember a lot of trivial things that are not very important, but I didn't expect it to be true, it seems that I will hurry back." ”
"Are you in a hurry?". Chen Xiansong didn't want her to leave, and the other party gave her a bag of dragon crystal powder, which sounded very precious. He wanted to wait for Bai Min to come, and then return some gold coins to the other party, so he couldn't take other people's things for nothing.
"I came out this time to participate in the adult training." Speaking of her own affairs, Anne became happy and said endlessly: "Our dragon clan, every time we are seventeen years old, we have to get outside training, and at the same time, we have to find a special elemental crystal, only when we get a crystal that matches our fate, we can add an annual coming-of-age ceremony, otherwise we will never be able to become an adult, and we will be covered with scales all our lives, and we will not be able to wear beautiful clothes."
"Special elemental crystals?" Chen Xiansong was a little curious.
"yes, that's it." Anne turned around, and after turning around again after a while, there was a pale green crystal in her hand: "Ordinary elemental crystals are purple, but only we dragons can find those special elemental crystals." Hehe, this is my natal crystal, it's very beautiful, some people say that the more beautiful the natal crystal, the more beautiful it will be when I become an adult, I will definitely be a big beauty in the future, and I will be fascinated by you when the time comes. ”
Chen Xiansong sighed, thinking, no matter how beautiful you are, can you be as beautiful as Bai Min and Sister Qianxin?
Of course, Chen Xiansong would not say such a thing in his heart, and he was still a little strange: Anne did not have a strand on her body, and her whole body was covered with scales, but as soon as she turned around, she could take out some things, such as the small bag just now, and the current special element crystal, where did she take these things out, and there was obviously no place to put things on her body.
As soon as he thought about it, of course, his eyes wandered over the other party, wanting to find out.
Anne immediately noticed the abnormality of his gaze, and she immediately became a little shy: "What are you staring at...... I haven't even become a girl yet. ”
Chen Xiansong was speechless for a moment, so he had to explain: "I'm wondering where the thing you just gave me came from. Can you show me a little bit of it? ”
He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, Anne became even more shy, and the tail behind him immediately stiffened, and threw the green crystal in his hand on Chen Xiansong's head, and said angrily: "You bastard, how can you ask someone like this...... problems. ”
'Ouch' Chen Xiansong was smashed on the head by the crystal, and his tears were about to flow down.
The scales on Anne's cha and upper body turned pale red, and she seemed to want to pounce and beat Chen Xiansong with her teeth and claws. But at this moment, there was a strange long whistle in the distance, and when she heard it, she stomped her feet in anger, and finally picked up the elemental crystal she threw out, and left a sentence in resentment: "When I am an adult, I will come to settle accounts with you bastard, and you actually bully me." I'll go first, that bag of dragon crystal powder, you can only eat it yourself, if you dare to give it to others, I will ignore you in the future. ”
Then he jumped off the tree and disappeared into the woods. …,
Chen Xiansong rubbed his head vigorously, knowing that his recklessness might have offended the other party's bottom line, and he regretted it now. The other party is very friendly, and he came to him on a special trip, and he sent expensive things, but he ran away from the other party, which made him really ruthless, and now he only hopes that the next time we meet again, I will apologize to Anne.
Not long after, Bai Minfei came, and Chen Xiansong shook his hand happily when he saw her.
Bai Min saw that Chen Xiansong was safe and sound, and there was a happy expression in his eyes, but when he approached him not far away, his body suddenly stopped, his face became a little strange, and it took a long time to spit out one word: "Stink"
Stinking? Chen Xiansong sniffed on himself for a while, and said strangely: "No." ”
Bai Min's gaze wandered over Chen Xiansong's body, and finally stopped at the small bag at his feet.
Chen Xiansong picked up the small bag and motioned to Bai Min: "You said this thing stinks?" ”
Bai Min floated in the air not far from the bird's nest and nodded again and again.
"No, it's very fragrant." Chen Xiansong opened the bag and smelled it again, it was indeed very fragrant.
It's just that Bai Min floated farther this time. Seeing this, Chen Xiansong had to smile bitterly and tie the mouth of the bag.
The white queen came closer, but still didn't want to get too close. He had to take off his robe and wrap the whole bag of dragon crystal powder tightly, so that Bai Min was willing to approach him, but even so, Bai Min looked at him as if he was looking at an unlucky guy who had stepped on dog shit.
"Throw it away." Bai Min gently tugged at Chen Xiansong's sleeve, and his tone seemed to be a little pleading.
"This is a gift from a friend just now, and I can't just throw it away," Chen Xiansong said.
"Stinky" Bai Min pulled Chen Xiansong's sleeve and didn't let go, and the taste of the central begging in his tone became stronger.
"No" Chen Xiansong smiled bitterly: "Xiaomin, you can bear with it, when I go back, I will find something that is not breathable and seal it." ”
Bai Min thought for a while, and finally nodded. Holding back a rather uncomfortable feeling, she took Chen Xiansong down the tree and returned to the camp by the river.
By this time, the wounded had almost been treated. As guards, most of them have a hand in battlefield first aid, and those who can be saved survived, and the rest are all neatly placed next to the stream. Balf was leading a few men, digging deep pits one after another along the riverbank. He dug these pits, not to bury the dead guards, but to bury the enemies who had been torn apart by Bai Min and had been mixed with flesh and bones.
For Bai Min who went and returned, everyone was full of respect, and for Chen Xiansong, most people had no negative emotions, and even some gratitude, after all, in that case, they could escape one by one, and Bai Min turned back to save them, most people thought that it was Chen Xiansong's order.
But others looked at him with dissatisfaction and hostility in their eyes. Claude, of the eight men he brought, only survived. Before leaving, the enemy made it clear that it was Chen Xiansong's trouble, and as for the others, it was just incidental, so he felt that Chen Xiansong should take full responsibility for this matter.
Chen Xiansong first went to inquire about the situation in Udil, and then looked at the dozen or so guards by the river from a short distance, with their heads covered with blood-stained white scarves, and the dead guards were speechless for a long time.
Banaji came back a little further from the creek, carrying a soaked burlap bag on the tip of his sword.
"Master, we've found the source of the poison." Banaji threw the bag onto the grass.
Udir nodded: "It seems that the enemy is very trembling and has a long assassination study, and our movements have been mastered by them, and the timing and location of poisoning are very accurate." Go get some clean water and come back, and then get some food, you've all been poisoned, you're not in good health, let's camp here today, rest for the night, and set off again tomorrow. ”…,
"It's not that far from Qinghai City." Udir continued: "Banaji, please go to Qingxi City, tell Sosi what we have encountered, and ask him to send about twenty more people to help, and hire some trucks to bring the dead guards back to the city for a proper burial. In addition, he was troubled to issue a general order for the Blue Sea-level mercenaries, telling the mercenary guild the appearance and characteristics of the enemy, and the leader Duo Zheming had 1,000 gold coins for the first level, and all the other people's heads were 100 gold coins. If he can be captured alive, the leader will have 2,000 gold coins, and the others will have 200 gold coins. ”
Banaji took a deep breath, and after such a careful calculation, the association would have to spend at least nearly five thousand gold coins. If you are captured alive, you will get at least about 10,000. Those mercenaries who are greedy for money usually have their heads tied to their belts and work hard to make money, but even so, it is usually difficult for each one to save two or three gold coins, and it is strange that they are not crazy when they hear the news. He could imagine the madness and fear of the fleeing enemy before they left Kate's kingdom.
"How dare you want to kill three soul thinkers at once. For thousands of years, the Guild has used so little power that they seem to have forgotten its energy. Udir, who had a kind face, had a look of indifference and mockery on his face: "Even the Sun Temple and the Dragon Clan don't dare to embarrass us like this...... Don't let our association find out who is behind them, or else...... Even if it's the king, the guild will have to find a way to make him lose his throne. ”
Banaji has been in the association for less than five years, although he usually stays in the association and deeply feels the power of the association, but at this moment, he listened to Udir's muttering, only to realize that he only saw the tip of the iceberg of the association. He answered the order and rode to Qingxi City, he now felt that he was very lucky to be able to enter the association.
Chen Xiansong kept looking at the corpses placed by the river, some of the guards were already middle-aged, and even about to enter old age, but there were still many guards, only about twenty young people. Just in the blink of an eye, they became cold corpses, never to wake up again, how sad their loved ones would be.
Claude slowly walked to Chen Xiansong's side, he pointed to the corpse by the stream, and asked slowly and proudly, "Being innocently implicated, these guards are quite worthless in their deaths...... Your Excellency Chan Hsien-song, don't you think you should say something? ”……,
