Early the next morning, Murphy set off with his troops.

The target is the land of the dragon feast of Tongtian Peak.

After a long morning's walk, I finally arrived at the ruins of the snake people near Tongtian Peak.

However, to his surprise, there were already people here, and there were quite a few of them, and a large camp had been spread out in the open space of the snake man ruins, and it looked like there must be more than a hundred or ten people.

The flag of the Explorers' Guild fluttered over the camp, and in addition to that, there was an unfamiliar and familiar flag, a variant of the capital L.

I'm rubbing, why are these tomb robbers here again, hey, which unit's flag is that?

L？ Could it be Lordaeron, why did these people come here?

He was a little unhappy in his heart, and originally thought that he could go up the mountain directly to complete the dragon feast without being disturbed, but it seemed that he still had to make contact with it now.

The soldiers in the camp also noticed the presence of his troops, and immediately launched their guard, and Murphy also ordered to put on a battle formation, although it was unlikely that the battle would start, but the necessary precautions still had to be there.

It wasn't until the person in charge of the camp appeared, met with Murphy, and identified each other, that the two sides relaxed.

The people who came were the people of Lordaeron - and the archaeologists of the Explorers' Guild.

The human in front of him was dressed as a scholar, wearing a loose bachelor's robe and unilateral glasses, and he looked like a high-status aristocratic scholar.

Okade (Erudito): "Oh, you must be Prince Aidan, I heard Muradin's mention of you, but I didn't expect you to be here." I am Ogad Borax, a court scholar of the kingdom of Lordaeron, and this is the swordsman of Lordaeron's court, Tianxiu Minehir, who is also the captain of the team's body, and I am honored to meet you, Prince Aidan of Alterac. ”

Tianxiu? This name is a player at first sound, but since the surname is Minecil, it stands to reason that it should be a member of the royal family, right, why is it just a captain of the guard? He didn't even have a prince title, which was a bit strange, Mo Fei glanced at the man, Tianxiu was a bronze second-order hero, with a gorgeous knight's cuirass on his upper body, a blue cloak on the outside, and a noble trouser on the lower body, without a helmet, with long flowing hair and a sword around his waist, it was difficult to say what kind of occupation he was.

Aidan (Prince Alterac): "I'm glad to meet you, Scholar Okad and Your Excellency Tianxiu, is there anything particularly important about your presence in the land of Alterac?" ”

Okade (Erudito): "Of course not, we are only here to investigate, I heard the story of Muradin's story about the ruins of the snake people in Lordaeron, and I was very interested in this strange creature, so I hurried here for a field trip, and I have to say, it was very rewarding - let's go in and talk about it." ”

He made a gesture of please.

Mo Fei asked Roland to take people to find a place to rest, and followed the two into the camp, and it could be seen that this archaeological team was really a professional, completely different from the archaeological methods of the dwarves, very detailed, the items of the snake people were arranged one by one, marked with uses, and some scholars were still using small brushes to find new relics from the ruins, and every discovery could attract a burst of cheers.

They weren't limited to gold, silver and gemstones, either—in fact, after Muradin's excavations, there was basically nothing left of them.

The archaeological team focused more on the snake people's daily necessities, ritual items, and weapons, especially the stone slabs with carved murals and carvings.

Of course, these tasks do not need to be done by Okad, as a university scholar, he naturally has his subordinates to do the hard work, he can only supervise and guide on the side, while drinking hot tea, enjoying the wonderful feeling of the cold wind of Alterac and the warmth of the campfire.

When the three of them came to the campfire, they were immediately served hot beer and barbecue, but it was just in time for the meal.

Murphy was not polite, he needed to recover from the fatigue of walking all morning, and he could ask for some news while eating, he had long been accustomed to the benefits of being a prince, and he ate and drank calmly, and there was a young scholar named Hopps by the campfire, who was also a nobleman.

Aidan (Prince Alterac): "Master Ogade, have you found any results, and where did these snake people come from?" ”

He asked casually, but he didn't expect this Okade to really have an answer.

Ogade (Polymath): "Based on my research, it's likely that the snake people here are descendants of the Dragoneater. ”

Mo Fei was shocked in his heart, and said in his heart, how do you know about the Dragon Eater, but his face pretended to be at a loss, "Dragon Eater, what is that?" ”

"Ha, it's no wonder that Prince Aidan is unfamiliar with this term, in fact, the dragon eater appeared very long ago, and has long disappeared into the long river of history, so that many people wonder if it really exists, or if it is just an absurd legend made up by the bard, but according to my research, the dragon eater does exist, and it once flourished, it was a tragic hero brought by the times, but it was also abandoned by the times."

"In the ancient Dark Ages, when humanity had not yet given birth to nations, but was made up of different tribes scattered across the vast eastern continents, the world was ruled by dragons, who spread throughout the firmament, ruling the sky, the earth, and the sea.

In the eyes of the dragons, humans are nothing more than a weak race like animals, prey that can be devoured at will. ”

Aidan (Prince Alterac): "What, there's such a thing, you savage brutes! ”

Ogade (Erudito): "Barbarism? Perhaps, but in the eyes of the dragons, humans are inferior creatures like animals, and you feel guilty for killing a cow or a sheep? I don't think so, so in the eyes of the dragon clan, cannibalism is really not an evil and barbaric act, at most it is a unique taste, and such days have lasted for thousands of years.

Humanity was once close to extinction, but whenever faced with a crisis and desperate situation, there will always be warriors among the human race to stand up to save the world, for thousands of years there will always be powerful warriors in the human tribe to try to fight those dragons, despite suffering heavy casualties, but there are still occasional people who succeed in slaying dragons, some ancient legends have also been born, they fought against dragons, slay evil dragons, save their compatriots in desperate situations, and it is in this situation that the dragon feast ritual was born.

The origin of the dragon ritual is no longer verifiable, but my speculation is that it was probably some act of venting anger, but it is more likely that it is due to some primitive hunting tradition of humans, who have long believed that devouring the heart of a beast can gain its power.

And what beast can be compared to a dragon? ”

So the mighty warriors devoured the dragon's heart, hoping to gain the dragon's power and help them protect humanity, and the truth is that as they expected, some of them really have more power, more and more powerful, and can even fight the dragon head-on.

And the group of dragon feasters has gradually grown. ”

Murphy was amazed, but he didn't know that there was such a story behind the Dragon Feast Ceremony.

At this time, the player named Tianxiu suddenly interjected.

Tianxiu Minahir (Court Swordsman): "Wait a minute, I think there's a question here, if the way to gain power is so simple, why don't there be dragons?" If power could be gained by devouring a dragon's heart, there should be a lot of such people, but I've never heard of anything like that. ”

Mo Fei glanced at the man, and said in his heart, "Shouldn't this person also want to gain the power of the dragon feast?" Most likely, what player can not be tempted by the temptation of power.

It's a pity that you don't have any quest items, and you can't get in when you get to the door, hehe.
