Opening the door of the carriage, the space inside was not as small as it seemed from the outside, and what appeared in front of the dragonman Rafael was a long staircase like a basement. Looking back, I saw that at the junction between the door and the staircase, layers of glowing magical runes were engraved, spinning like living creatures.

"Lord Rafael..."

The blue dragonman behind her spoke timidly to the red-scaled dragonman led by her, and an obscure and ancient language came out of her mouth.

The sub-people are not without their own language, for example, the dragons generally use the Femabaha Dragonting language, which can be traced back to the ancient gods of the dragonman legends, but there is no existing physical object that shows that those ancient glorious civilizations existed.

Most of the existing dragonman settlements are small and primitive, and the red-scaled Rafael is the daughter of the leader of a dragonman settlement in the Southern Continent, and the dragonmen around her are all from the same tribe as her.

"Don't talk, Ral, the human is still outside."

“...”

The dragonman named Ral was the petite of the five dragonmen, and even his face had an immature immaturity, and he immediately looked behind him in fright when he heard the whispered reminder of his companion behind him.

The sound of horses' hooves whistling outside the door behind him swayed slightly as the entire space inside swayed as it advanced, except that the space was larger than the normal carriage.

Luckily, the human didn't show up, and the tall human looked even more terrifying than the fat human in the circus, and Ral was always afraid that he would whip himself with the black stick in his hand, which must have been a terrible torture instrument.

Rafael, the leader, glanced at the space below, raised her paws and walked down, only to see that the space below was even wider, there were four rooms from left to right, but only the middle door was open, and when she looked inside, it was empty, nothing.

After a moment's hesitation, they didn't move anything to open any of the doors, and after a few moments, they sat down against the wall.

Ral lowered his gaze slightly, listening to the sound of horses' hooves outside, he couldn't help but feel a little lost, and muttered to his companion,

"This time... Where are we going to be taken? Will it be taken and eaten... We, can we still go home..."

The atmosphere among the dragonmen fell silent, and no companion gave an answer, because even they themselves were not sure of their end. The sound of thundering horses' hooves could not dispel such a dullness. Since they were taken away from their hometown, they have been treated inhumanely, and the long-term hopelessness and pain have slowly worn away the light in their hearts, making them numb.

Only Rafael's lowered turquoise eyes flickered, and she still stared blankly at the ground, but she grasped the petite paw of Lal beside her.

"I'll take you back..."

Back in their rampant dragon's lair, back to their loved ones, and make the damned humans pay.

But after all, this is an empty sentence, and it will not take a few seconds to disperse like foam, and fall into the boundless dead silence in the carriage.

......

......

Outside the door, Fisher, the man in the black hat, looked out into the endless wilderness, put his hand into his arms, and took out a small manual with his backhand. The booklet was printed on the shell and brightly colored, like the fairy tale books sold to children everywhere in Saint-Nari, and the gilded floral text on the cover of the book read,

"Yaren Niang Completes the Manual".

This is a pamphlet that Fisher got by chance five years ago.

At that time, Fisher, who took subhumans as a hobby of research, accidentally bought this booklet from a black-hearted vendor, thinking that it recorded the characteristics of subhumans or something, and brought it home as a treasure, after all, there are very few books on subhumans at this moment, but when I go home and open it, everything is blank except for the preface.

He thought he had just bought a pirated book, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but it wasn't until he had his first close encounter with Yaren a year ago that he learned how terrible this blank book was.

Flipping over the cover, I saw the preface to the first page written in epic language,

"The crimson dragon queen rose first and burned everything to death with the fury of humanity."

"The mysterious children of the sea will raise great waves and erase the sins of mankind."

"The god of the sky will leave the remnant with nowhere to hide and no place to return."

"The immortal witch wrote an epitaph for them with magic."

Fisher's eyes lowered slightly, and to this day, he still can't forget the images that came to mind when he first saw these words, the so-called hell drawing, but that's it.

After studying for a long time, he finally determined that there were four subhuman races that were about to destroy human civilization.

Why was Fisher so convinced of these prophecies, rather than a terrible joke by some humorous gentleman?

He turned the page again, skipping the [Witch] section that had already lit up, only to see that the blank second page suddenly lit up with brilliance, and the words that shimmered with golden light seemed to be activated by magic, slowly occupying the beginning of the second page, and constructing a new section.

【Dragonman】

Then, the energy suddenly shone up, and a line of illusory text appeared that only Fisher could see.

[Please select a research individual, the number of available individuals is 0/2]

【Rafael, Red Dragon】

【Ral, Blue Dragonman】

[Farsher, White Dragon Man]

[Ke Hill, White Dragon Man]

[Mill, Yellow Dragon]

I hope this time I don't choose the wrong one like last time, I've been looking for it for so long, and I must succeed...

The crimson dragon queen.

Fisher whipped his horsewhip and quickened the pace of his journey, and at the same time selected Rafael as a research entity, leaving the remaining number of available individuals in order to leave himself a way out in case he chose the wrong one.

After finishing the manual, a golden light lit up, and a strange text like a knife mark and a paw print appeared under the [Dragonman], and the text produced an illusory suction like a black hole, and at the same time, Fisher's muscles hidden under his suit suddenly tensed, and then his whole face turned pale.

He clenched the reins tightly, and waited until a fine bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, and as the strange words were engraved, the pain of piercing his heart disappeared completely, but his pale face still did not fade. Every time a new subhuman research target is bound, it is like experiencing the harshest punishment in the world, and the pain is still unbearable for Fisher, who has learned from the past.

After another long time, Fisher, who gritted his teeth and bowed his head, took a deep breath, causing the muscles in his body to be stiff like iron to slowly relax.

In the next second, the illusory text flickered again.

[Successful study of individual binding]

[Constitution +7, Reproduction +4, Femabaha Dragonine +3]

【Research subhuman individuals to unlock more】

Fisher's face was full of black lines, ignoring some strange hints inside, and the next moment, he only felt that his body was several levels stronger, and he could even kill a cow with one punch.

Sure enough, the bonus in terms of physique is still too much compared to [Witch].

Fisher blinked, and suddenly looked up, only to see the sky of the Southern Continent in the distance slowly glowing red, and the faint red on the other side jumped out like a beach where the tide had receded.

As night approached, the horses' breathing intensified.

"Shhh

"Da-da..."

Fisher pulled the reins and slowly brought the horses to a halt, just as the carriage came to a halt on the edge of a quiet river. It's just that there is still no one around, and the silence is terrifying.

Fisher closed the small booklet and slipped it into his pocket, glancing back at the closed carriage door behind him.

In the space inside, there are five dragon-like sub-humans waiting for them.
