The desert territory of the dragon people is much farther than expected.

The city walls and gates are all natural yellow sand protective colors, and when they don't get close, they look like sand dunes like custard buns, as if the history of the dragon people has long been swallowed up by the yellow sand, and no one lives inside.

But as Ke Li and his party approached, the sand dunes with simple lines slowly became three-dimensional, and the figures of the dragonmen residents could gradually be seen clearly.

Colley observed from a distance for a while, and then said, "The town of the Dragonman doesn't seem to have any children? The ones that appear in the field of vision are fakes of about the same height and size, is their body type so standard?"

Flanders responded, "The lineage and civilization of the dragonmen has always been a mystery, it has always been part of the puzzle of history, maybe they had a special way of raising offspring, but because they were so well hidden, they were forgotten?"

Mary: "We're coming!"

"Although I was still very excited when I was on the road, when I actually came here, I was surprised to think that this area was a bit ordinary, unlike the dragonmen who lived on the other side of the jungle, with colorful scales and eyes, and all kinds of village decorations, and they were all sand and metal on this side."

Enzo: "Ah, that might be one of the reasons for their disappearance, because the town may have been built with extraordinary power, and when they sensed that the Dragonmen were in a bad position in history, they took the initiative to break up and retreat?"

Mary: "Very few intelligent races are willing to be buried for thousands of years, right? Destroy your own territories and towns, bury everything, stop all development and return to its original form, and give up your hometown and territory to others......

"It's strange to think about it, if they don't even have the confidence to live, they should become more timid and cautious than the lizardmen, which doesn't match their personality."

Colly originally wanted to praise Mary a few words, saying that her sanity had recovered recently, and when she saw that the city gate had arrived, she simply shut up and quietly watched the town of the dragonmen.

Hmm, maybe this is a situation where it looks beautiful from a distance, but when you look at it closely, the illusion is shattered, right?

From the outside, the town looks magnificent, but when you walk in, you realize that it is full of historical ruins.

Many of the cracked and damaged walls and containers were not repaired, but were randomly glued together and placed there.

Fabrics such as flags and sheltering tents have also been dusty for a long time, and they do not look like they are often changed and maintained.

Only two scouts were called out to investigate, not because they were confident, but because the population of the town was small.

In other words, when the Dragon Age turned to the appearance of the Dragonman, the momentum of the Dragonman was already gone.

Generally speaking, it is strange for this to happen to intelligent beings.

Because the dragon people are not like the brainless and size-pressured dinosaurs, their size and food requirements are still within the tolerance of the environment, and the population is not particularly outrageous, not like extinction caused by war and famine.

As long as you are good at stockpiling and have a suitable territory to collect food, your own strength level and defense ability are also high-end in the food chain, and the ecological niche is not weak, which disappears unreasonably.

However, the interrogation of the dragon people interrupted Ke Li's reverie.

"These dwarfs live by the sea, they come from somewhere else, and the bugs have nothing to do with them."

"The chief wants to see them, perhaps it is a sign from the gods."

After simply translating the words, Mary and the two scouts of the Dragonman Clan walked all the way to the leader's place to inquire.

As is the case with beasts, the biggest, strongest, and most brainy guy can be the leader.

"You're talking to Takeyaman, dwarf."

The leader of this desert region introduced himself like this when he talked to outsiders.

The large dragonmen, dressed in traditional, loose cloth, had gold rings made of gold on their fingers and horns, inlaid with gems of various colors, and placed weapons and drinking water vessels on carpets and throne sides.

He was even larger, larger than the monster statues in the Secret Tomb of the Snowy Realm.

I don't know if it's because of the burden on his heart or his lazy personality, Takeyaman didn't stand up straight when he spoke, but just lay on the huge rock seat, holding his scepter and talking to Ke Li and the others.

Flanders spoke directly as the person in charge, and he has also practiced his language recently, and he is quite fluent in this regard: "Honorable Takeyamane chief, we are accidentally displaced here by the dwarves, may I ask what you are calling us here for?"

Takeyaman: "Our fellow citizens living in the jungle have informed us that some disgusting Zerg have appeared in our territory, and we need to investigate the path of movement of the Zerg, and you look like the other dwarfs."

"Of course, I know you're not with them, and they haven't visited you since they came here."

As soon as Ke Li heard it, he understood that the Dragons wanted to remotely control the team on Flanders' side as an intelligence to spy on the Dwarves and Zergs, but they weren't quite sure what was going on during that period.

In this regard, Ke Li and his gang have a lot of say.

Mary and Flanders describe in detail the night's discovery, and suspicions that the gang was pirates.

In other words, it is to step on the identity of the competitor team and try to communicate with the dragon people as a collaborator.

"Hmm......" Takeyaman stretched out his paws, supporting his wide nose and chin.

"That's okay, to prove your position, we need you to go to some disgusting places, burn the nests of disgusting bugs, and help transport a token by the way. Don't panic, the Zerg aren't lethal to us, they just rob and contaminate our food and livestock, making our land sick, so we don't like them."

"According to the small rules of the dwarves, we are willing to pay some payment, but you must come back alive to receive it."

After saying that, Takeyaman waved his hand in disgust, as if he didn't expect them to get things done, and prepared to send Flanders' gang away.

Flanders pinched the moment and said, "Honorable lord, we should probably make some civilian trades to make this mission smoother before we set out, and we may have something of interest to you."

"Oh? Did you bring a souvenir from the Dwarven Nation, a hammer, coal, or a nail or something?"

Flanders took out the crystal ball with a wooden base from his pocket, "It's some special treasure, we need some food, medicine, weapons or props, etc., maybe this can come in handy during the expedition."

Takeyaman then motioned for the guards to go to the warehouse, and took out a large box of bits and pieces and spread them on the ground:

"Everything we are willing to trade is here, let's pick and choose."
