Chapter 34: The Dragon
Turning the next corner, he saw the demons again.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to ...... you because of those eyes," Yuan Chi used in the language of Alpha this time, "but it suddenly occurred to me that dragons are always attracted to beads. β
Then he stretched out his right hand to Magellan's eyes.
Magellan finally gave up his disguise, he didn't know what this demon wanted to do, he didn't want to know.
Yuan Chi looked at the man in front of him and turned around and ran wildly, and laughed.
It's a joke, although common, but it always makes people laugh, and escaping from the clutches of a demon is probably one of the stupidest attempts for humans.
But it is precisely because of this that the world has become interesting, Yuan Chi looked at the man's back and took a light step.
Magellan didn't want to run a race, he went around the corner, jumped up and climbed onto the roof on the left-hand side.
The footsteps of the demons still echoed around the corner, and at least for the time being, he couldn't see Magellan.
It's time for a makeover. Without much effort, Magellan took the expensive white cloth into his arms, and then he saw the demons.
"You're smart, I should say impressive," Motochi made no secret of his surprise, at least for now, it seems that the game won't be too boring, and it won't end too early, "I'll give you a chance, if you can escape this time, I'll let you go." β
"Thanks," Magellan smiled, the smile made very strange by the lines of disguise, "no need. β
He lunged forward, brushed shoulders with the demons, dodged the latter's hand reaching for his shoulder, and then suddenly fell into the alley as if he had stumbled.
The footsteps were gone.
Yuan Chi smiled and looked around, this was an effective trick but could only be used once, the man should be hiding under the eaves, if Yuan Chi was not careful enough, he would be deceived.
But Yuan Chi, of course, will not.
He walked to the edge of the roof, an ordinary alpha house, with an eaves on one side of the alley, facing the tall wall, just enough to hide a man underneath.
Yuan Chi couldn't see the scene in the alley, but he trusted that he couldn't guess wrong, and with a muffled sound, a section of the eaves fell apart, and then Yuan Chi lowered his head.
As he expected, Magellan was in the alley.
But instead of standing under the eaves and being smashed to the ground by the scattered dirt rubble, he stood in the middle of the alleyβthe footsteps disappeared because he stopped and stood where he was.
Yuan Chi thought it was like a botched drama, a little funny, but not inherently funny.
"You've wasted a precious opportunity, man. β
"Do my eyes have any special meaning to you?"
"Of course, you haven't heard of Dragons and Pearls. Yuan Chi looked at the man's beautiful red eyes, and made no secret of his fascination, "Only dragons have pearls, although dragons do not have a fixed form, they can always find their kind through beads. β
"You think you are, dragon, and now, you suspect that so do you. β
Magellan felt that he had wasted enough time, he did not feel that his guess would be wrong, that the superstitions of the Dragon Kingdom had nothing to do with him, and that it was time to leave.
He turned and began to run.
Yuan Chi is not ready to continue the game, this man is a dragon, and now he no longer doubts.
Even in the Land of Dragons, there are very few people who can understand how dragons exist, but this person guessed Motochi's thoughts just by hearing a simple description.
"I'm not going to let you get away again. β
......
Magellan ran wild through the streets of Baghdad.
It's been a long time since he's tried to escape something like this, but there's still something in the world that you can't do anything about.
And Magellan has never been able to get rid of that demon.
No matter how fast he ran through the streets and how complicated the alleys he bypassed, as soon as he turned the corner, he could always see the demons waiting for him there.
It's like a ghost.
Eventually, Magellan gave up and he walked into the crowd.
At first, the demon was always able to keep up with Magellan, but in the end, he still lost.
Because Magellan put on his head again.
......
"You bring good news and bad news. The countess looked at Magellan and handed him a glass of water, "What happened?"
"I can't do anything about the traditional magic of the Dragons," Magellan handed the survey to the countess, tilted his head and drank the water from the cup in one gulp, "so we'd better go now, as far away from that demon as possible." β
"Until the excavation is over," the countess spread out the white paper on the table, "I will not leave here." β
"Ah......h
Magellan sighed helplessly, the countess would not give up until they reaped the harvest, and that meant that they might have to face the troublesome demons.
"It's amazing...... I should say"
The countess looked at the pattern on the paper and exclaimed.
Magellan could fully understand her feelings, after all, when he first saw this picture, he even wanted to end the excavation and leave Baghdad.
"Judging by the lines, as we speculate, the ancient Sumerians lived in a gathering of essences, like fish living in lakes. Everything about them depends on magic, including faith, and Isitar is the goddess of magic in a sense. The countess's fingers brushed over the paper, and the various shades of gray on the white paper represented the amazing gathering of essences thousands of years ago, "With the increase in the concentration of essence, everything in the world will change dramatically, but it is difficult to say in what direction the specific changes will be." β
"In short," said the countess, at last, came to a conclusion that Magellan found very unpleasant, "that we have just opened a door, and that is a long road to harvest is ahead." β
"We have to get out of here. β
Magellan rarely objected to the countess's decision like this, but this time he had a reason to do so: "That demon has a very bad habit of taking what he thinks is the best from someone he thinks is outstanding, according to a theory that I don't understand at all." β
"It's ......"
The countess did not say the latter words.
"We can escape from him, but he never gives up, and I can kill him easily, but that means endless trouble. β
"So the best thing to do is to hide as far away as possible. β
The countess shook her head helplessly, this was not the conclusion she wanted: "We have not finished excavating the temple in the city, we have not found the map that is hidden here......"
Magellan didn't say anything.
The countess eventually stopped herself.
None of these reasons are sufficient.
