311 Gullogne? Ancient giant chicken?
Two distorted phantoms floated out of the glowing egg, one of which Ringer saw Seria's face, and the other had no human form, but exuded an aura that was familiar to Ringer.
The two phantoms seemed to be under some kind of strong tug, quickly drifting in the direction where Ringer came, and it was their flesh that attracted them.
He chose to free the souls of Seria and Diluco, leaving Lanya's alone. This does not mean that Lanya is not important in his eyes, on the contrary, as his first guest after officially going to work, Lanya means a lot to him.
"Alright, now let's talk." Ringer stared at the egg in his palm.
"Well, talk, what do you want? Humans, no, lackeys of demons. "There is a childish but old-fashioned childlike voice coming from the egg.
"There is no treasure on this island, only death." Ringer smiled, not minding the title of the demon's lackey.
"I heard that this is the place where the ancient dragon fell, how can there be no treasures in the land of the dragonfall? Dragon scales, dragon bones, dragon horns, dragon blood, dragon eyes, and dragons are all treasures all over their bodies. β
"Who did you listen to?"
"Lizardmen."
"**, this group of unscrupulous descendants!" Ringer stared at the egg in his palm in surprise: "Children and grandchildren? Are you their ancestor? An egg? β
"This is no ordinary egg, it is the last thing I have condensed of the essence of life, it took me a long time to awaken from the shadow of death, and it took a long time to condense the essence of life that remained in my body. Unfortunately, when I woke up, there was only so much left of my life essence. The egg let out a sigh, full of loneliness.
"So you're the ancestor of the lizardmen, a dragon?"
"Yes, that's right."
"This island is your body?"
"It was, and now it's one with nature, almost an ordinary rock, because I've drained the essence of life out of my body." Ringer's mind could not help but think of the shape of the island, a huge chicken ass soaked in the sea, with the tip of the ass pointed to the sky.
He couldn't help but wonder if this was the dragon's body, what would it look like in its entirety? A giant chicken?
In order to understand this question, he asked euphemistically: "I am a little curious, which part of your body is exposed on the surface of the sea?" The egg fell silent for a moment, then responded, "What the hell are you doing here?" Just to ask such boring questions? Ringer thought for a moment and asked in a different way: "The red dragon I saw in my hallucination, is that what you used to look like?" β
"Yes." The image of the red dragon came to Ringer's mind in its entirety, he
"Observed" the dragon, from beginning to end, especially carefully examined the dragon's buttocks, and finally confirmed that there was no place on the dragon's body that resembled a chicken's buttocks.
"Really?"
"Of course. Well? What do you mean? You think I'm lying? It was because I used the remnants of the dragon's breath in my body as a medium, and then used the rhythm of the dragon's percussion to resonate with the body of the past, so that you can see the great form of me, and you should feel lucky, not everyone has the opportunity to see the form of the great dragon. Ringer laughed, "I'm really lucky, I don't have many opportunities to beat a dragon with my own hands." β
"Stinky boy, less proud," the egg yelled unconvinced,
"That's just a phantom of me, less than one percent of my peak strength. If I'm still alive, huh! Dan originally wanted to say a few cruel words, but considering the situation he was in at this time, he held back.
"But you're better than I expected," said the egg.
"You've asked me so many questions, it's time for me to ask you."
"Excuse me." Ringer smiled.
"Who is the demon you serve? Why is there such a powerful force? β
"Seinsti."
"Huh? Who's that? "Egg had never heard of that name.
"A cute little devil." Thinking of Seinsti drinking in bed, Ringer couldn't help but smile.
Dan sneered: "That's all human beings do, they are always easily confused by appearances and become slaves of others. Although this is not the case, Ringer has no meaning to explain, so let it be whatever it thinks.
"What the hell are you here for?" Egg asked again. "Actually, my companions and I came here mainly for sightseeing. β
"Do you think I'll believe it?" Ringer smiled and continued, "Of course, there is a small purpose beyond that. β
"Hmph, that's your real purpose, let's say, what's it."
"I have a lizardman friend who was a prince who was supposed to inherit the throne, but his uncle staged a coup d'Γ©tat, stripped him of his inheritance, and exiled him. The place of exile was the Dragon's Blood Island, known to the lizardmen as the Land of Ancestors.
"My friend was disinherited because of some of my reasons, so I wanted to help him, at least not let him die on this island.
"In addition, I want to help him reclaim the throne as much as possible. I heard that there is a scepter you left behind on this island, and that those who find it can learn the true mission of the lizardmen and become the true king of the lizardmen. Egg laughed: "I've never heard of it, I guess some little cub made up the legend." β
"It doesn't matter if it's made up or not, the important thing is that the current lizardmen believe in this legend, and my prince friend can rely on this to return to the royal capital and take back what belongs to him."
"But I don't have any scepters left, and I don't have any bullshit missions."
"I said, it doesn't matter." Ringer looked at the stone platform not far away, and there were golden chicken feet stuck in the stone platform,
"What's that?"
"My claws, of course, have shrunk by a factor of ten million." Ringer looked at the claws and burst into laughter.
"It's a lot like a scepter, isn't it?"
"What do you mean?" The egg was alert.
"I mean, can you 'lend' it to my friend, your descendants, for a while? That's what I'm here for. The egg was silent for a moment, as if he was considering, and then said, "Well, since it is my descendant, I will lend it to him to play with it." β
"Can I return the soul of my last friend now? You don't want to be broken by me, do you? β
"You don't know how to play tricks, do you?" The egg was a little hesitant, if he handed over the last soul, he would have no power to resist in front of Ringer.
"Of course not, I still need you to guide my friend." Ringer smiled kindly.
"Verbal promises sound like farting to me, not to mention that you're a human being seduced by demons."
"You don't believe me?"
"I'm willing to believe you're telling the truth, but I'm not risking my life. You want me to let go of your last friend, unless you trade your soul. Don't get me wrong, I don't want your whole soul, just a small bit. β
