Chapter 1298 Stone Shell City

The meteorite flying through the sky caused a huge sensation in Shike City. Everyone has been discussing it these two days. Unlike the meteors that usually flash in the night sky, this time it is a big guy who is earth-shaking. The whole city is trembling with the roar. The vibrations it produces when it destroys the mountain are endless. After it reaches Shike City, dozens of shacks collapsed.

"Something great things must have fallen from the sky," everyone said so. Soon, the scattered adventurers first went to the fall site to check, followed by a chaotic team. Such a large meteorite would definitely attract the attention of the dragon. If you could find some good things in front of them and successfully hide them, it would have great value in the future.

The power levels of lizard men and dragons are very obvious. The powerful dragon has the highest dominance, and they say the same thing. The second is the half-dragon man, that is, the direct descendants of the dragon, and the mixed-blood race with obvious characteristics of the dragon. They naturally enjoy a generous life, but they don’t care about daily affairs. How to improve the purity of their dragon clan bloodline and become dragons as much as possible, so as to have infinite life and terrible power is their only purpose.

Many lizard people are produced by the continued mixed blood of half-dragon people. The excessively diluted dragon bloodline makes it almost impossible for them to have the opportunity to develop into half-dragon people and dragons, and they can only stay in their current class. Therefore, the lizard people's eyes are all concerned about the things around them. An organization called the Gray Scale Committee works in a form similar to the Presbyterian Church, dealing with various complicated affairs in all aspects of the city. When there are no dragons and half-dragon people, the lizard people live relatively "free". But they are still the property of the dragon and the slaves of the half-dragon people.

"Those lizard men use their scales and teeth as currency. They can be seen at a glance that they are poor and rich. Fresh, large and complete scales are the most valuable. Old scales gradually withdraw from the market as they wear out, while dragon scales have always played a role in value stability because of the scarcity of the market. Ha, what a scale standard..." Zhao Mai walked and analyzed the situation of the world and explained it to others: "Lizard men without scales are equivalent to knights without armor, and their value is getting lower and lower. The scales that can be traded must wait until the lizard men become adults, and they need to be healthy and strong to have the best scale color. This is also a large investment that stabilizes the value of scales. The best scales can be made into scale armor, which is something that saves life. Although this economic system is still not stable enough, it is still more valuable than selling money to hype up money with answers to mathematical questions."

Alextasa felt everyone's eyes rolling on her, and immediately understood what was going on. A big tears flowed out instantly, and didn't drip down, just hung on her eyes, like a drop of gum. "Don't peel my scales. I know you can treat and regenerate those scales, but it will still hurt...ah! Even if it can relieve the pain, I always feel that I lost something, and it's particularly bad things."

"You're thinking too much. If you want money, we won't rob or cheat your scales. That's boring." Zhao Mai pulled out a huge rock from the ground, used the method of material alchemy, and turned it into a steel ingot. Then he did the same, transformed it into a pure gold, and quickly processed a few curved blades. "I think their weapons are like this, so when I get there, I'll sell some scales with weapons. I will use my psychic power to translate their language to you, so that we can enter the Shike City and look for the Shadow Dragon."

"What does that guy look like?" asked Dogian, "Do we know his physical characteristics except White Dragon?"

"I don't know, physical characteristics are too difficult to calculate. The technology of the Alliance of the Rings can only calculate the critical time period and location of the formation of the root foot. The old man then verified it and knew that it was near this landing point, which is already the limit of calculation. Don't forget that we are now very far from our starting point, and the parallel world will cause a lot of interference. From my personal point of view, it is best not to only look at the white dragon, but to pay attention to the changes in the world's will. I have no problem. Diana has been a transcendent, so it should be fine. I wonder if you guys can do it?"

"I can do it!" Xiaohua, who had already shrunk back to her ten-year-old body and was about the same size as Qiqi, said: "I can see the changes in the will of the world just like you! The natural force here can also help me."

Others said they did not have this ability. "Although the shadow dragon does not have the ability to influence the will of the world, nor has it embarked on the path of establishing the Nagors Church and becoming the shadow dragon, it must have received the attention of the will of the world. Let's distribute it like this. Diana, you and Alextasa, reserve grain, and pay attention to the senior management of the Dragon Man. The most important thing you are to watch Alextasa and don't let her make trouble."

"Others are with me. Xiaohua, although you can detect the will of the world, you are too small now and it will be a bit inconvenient to move. At the same time, in order to prevent you from suddenly transcending, don't separate."

There are dragons in this world, and the original power is very familiar with dragons, so the possibility of Alexasa suddenly stands out and becomes a transcendent is very low. The reserve grain is particularly gentle and honest, and basically does not cause trouble. Diana knows very well how to become or how to avoid becoming a transcendent, so Zhao Mai is more at ease with these three.

Spore dandelions have already possessed the ability to invisible. They reproduce rapidly in the air, constantly absorbing the surrounding free energy, and further enhancing their reconnaissance capabilities. Many spore dandelions combined have formed the prototype of the monitoring king insect. Within one day, Zhao Mai's entire reconnaissance ability will reach a higher level.

The group avoided the lizardman adventurers who were going out to find the treasure of meteorites, and took a long way to get into the city from a main trade route to other cities. Zhao Mai exchanged a small bag of scales from a lizardman outside the city, and divided it with more than a dozen for everyone. He knew that the deal must be a loss, and the value of the pure gold scimitar was definitely not that low. But firstly, he just had to pay enough money for the city gate fee, and secondly, in order to show that he was very rich, he didn't care whether the deal was reasonable.

"The respected 'Heaven' dragon man, plus servants, six lizard men and one hairy pet. What species is this? What is a dog? Forget it, it doesn't matter." The Lizard man guard at the gate of the city kept bent down and bowing in front of Alextasa, which made Zhao Mai have to talk to him in a different posture. "There are a total of six altitude coins, regardless of quality. Oh, you are quite generous, all good altitudes. It seems that you have followed a good master."

Zhao Mai smiled awkwardly, "Is there anything else? The master still has something to do."

"I have to register your name. I dare not ask the title of Lord Tianlong Ren, I can only register yours."

"Merk A." Zhao Mai said: "My talent is my talent for redeeming various A money. You can register like this."

All conversations occur at the level of the supernatural powers. Zhao Mai's mouth does not speak at all, but is just acting as a double act. The language of the lizard man is relatively primitive and simple, and there are not so many words. Even the concept of a businessman has not been fully formed. However, in the supernatural powers, understanding is two-way, and the dragon man can always understand the basic meaning of Zhao Mai's words. He dipped his nails in gray ink and wrote on the straw paper "Six slaves, including the Dragon Man and the Armor Changeer, Liujia Money". At the same time, he outlined the relationship between the scales on Zhao Mai's face and the positional relationship between the scales on his face and the facial features, even if the registration is completed.

"It's good to draw!" Zhao Mai exclaimed sincerely. The scales are big, small, thick, thin, hard and soft. The bloodlines of different degrees of dragon clan affect the characteristics of lizard people's facial features and scale divisions, and it is basically impossible to repeat them. Lizard people have long developed the ability to divide the face area through scale grading by distinguishing the color of the ace coins. This primitive but equally advanced face recognition system has been promoted.

"It is precisely through this ability that I have the honor to receive Lord Tianlong." The Lizardman guarding the gate tried hard to remain serious, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Zhao Mai chatted with him for a few more words, confirming that he had no idea of ​​changing his job, and took the opportunity to copy a memory of the Lizardman's language and bring the "Dignified Tianlongman" into the city.

As mentioned before, Shike City had just experienced the aftermath of an earthquake. Many simple houses with wood, mud, stone and grass structures collapsed, and some of them were more or less affected, so people who were repairing and reinforcing the houses could be seen everywhere. The originally narrow streets were full of materials, and only by carefully dodging can we move forward.

Since every lizardman is born with scales, there is no such thing as extreme poverty, so there is no slavery within the lizardman. All the work here requires money, and a large number of repair projects have made the entire labor market active. Zhao Mai saw many lizardmen flexibly rushing up and down the walls, relying on their strong bodies to carry building materials, and complete their work as quickly as possible. "There is another one, and there is another one." They yelled while working, as if the thick voice was also a kind of capital to promote themselves.

Zhao Mai took out a few scales from his wallet, used them as something similar to memory crystal, and entered the language of the lizard man. "Take this all and put it on the skin, your own skin or the disguised skin I made for you, and you will understand that the not-so-complex daily conversations should be enough to deal with. If you encounter some difficult problems, crush the scale. I have attached the z insect source substance on it, and I will receive the signal immediately."

Qiqi took the scales and carefully handed them over to Daimao. She wore a children's version of scale-armored bionic skin, held her mother's hand, and stared at everything around her with her big eyes. "Is this just an adventure? What a fun look!"

"This is called spring outing, adventure is not like this!" Zhao Mai was not going to instill a false worldview in her, so as not to suffer later. "Average adventurers would not have a reconnaissance satellite on their heads, accompanied by great wizards, female war gods and the most dangerous foodie in the universe? Even the red dragon, the most combat-capable combat power among the young dragon clan, is a hostage that is forced to plunder. So, at best, our adventure is an adventure. And my father only hopes you explore, not adventure, the two are different."

My daughter seemed to understand, but she nodded vigorously. "Dad, in this world, is there a place where I can go to explore?"

"Of course there will be. There is no ring alliance here. Many worlds are isolated and independent of each other, and can develop various civilizations and wonders. I finally don't need to use Z insects to occupy as many worlds as possible, so there are many, many worlds here to explore." Zhao Mai touched the top of his daughter's head and said, "But first, you still have to find the shadow dragon."

Following the road, you will lead to the area where the half-dragon people gather, which is the most prosperous place in Shike City. From afar, you can see a large number of pure stone buildings, square, cylindrical and pyramid-shaped buildings, each of which appears thick and solid. Some buildings have exquisite carvings left by the half-dragon people at any cost, decorated with glittering metal and gems. These decorations are all aimed at the sky to attract the attention of the dragons in the sky and gain their favor. As for the lizard people walking on the ground, even a glance at these decorations is offensive.

The dragons do not live in Shike City, but they will fly to the dragon's cave here from time to time to enjoy the big meal prepared by the Half Dragon Man for them. The dragon's cave is in the middle of the Half Dragon Man's residential area. It was originally a hill, and then after excavation, repair and carving by countless craftsmen, it turned into a huge bird's nest building with a sunken middle. Zhao Mai saw that many holes were left under the dragon's cave, which had a black mark formed by long-term burning of firewood and heating and baking. The dragon is a cold-blooded animal. Except for the white dragon who likes the cold, other dragons prefer warm environments. Therefore, the entire dragon's cave is almost a barbecue table, but the dragon will never be burned by the flames formed by firewood.

"It seems that our goal is the Half Dragon Man area." Diana said to Zhao Mai: "What if I find a target that can be done? Can't I hurt you? Report the situation directly?"

"Yes. You just need to send a spiritual message to your scales and I will receive it, and I will contact you. Remember, at present, we only know the time period and the approximate location, what exactly caused the roots and feet of the Shadow Dragon. This is not certain yet, so don't act rashly. If you find a suspicious target, my spore dandelion will immediately carry out special surveillance, so I hope you can discover and search as much as possible instead of just staring at one."

Diana nodded, holding the sword in her hand and said to Alextasa, "Let's go. It's up to you to see your performance next. Remember, your current identity is a half-dragon man, not a giant dragon man, so don't be too high-profile."

Unexpectedly, the Dragon Girl did not leave directly, but came to Zhao Mai, reached out to say with confidence: "Boss, I want the adventure fund!"

"You are just a big red envelope walking around, and you still need funds?" Zhao Mai complained, and then sighed. Anyway, it was a matter of no effort. Grab a stone from the roadside while no one was paying attention to it and turned into a pure gold, and then stuffed it into Alextasa's hands: "Get it! The investigation information I got from the stone shell city, this pure gold is definitely a priceless thing. You cut a little bit every time... it's wrong, this thing can't be given to you."

Alextasa just wanted to shrink his hand, but Zhao Mai moved faster and took it back with a speed of Thunder without rushing. "It's better to leave it to Diana. When you need it, you can cut a piece and use the rib sword I gave you. I remember you could build a simple weapon?"

"It's not just a simple creation, I can also make magical artifacts. But don't worry, there is no need for such profound skills." Diana glanced at Alextasa, who had tears on her back, and then said, "Don't be sad, Zhao Mai did it right. You are a half-dragon nobleman now, I am a follower, and I should carry heavy objects and do these miscellaneous work."

"Then...if I see something delicious, can I buy it?"
