At night, the moon and stars are sparse.
In the core area of Thorn Town, Hulk, one of the three giants of the wild boar, dragged his tired body back to his room to rest after a busy day. He opened the door and was about to turn on the magical crystal lamp bought at a high price.
Suddenly, he saw a black figure sitting on the seat in the room. His mind was aroused and he wanted to call for help, but he shut up immediately and gave up the idea of calling for help.
You know, this is the core area of Thorn Town, guarded by a large number of heavily armed wild boar soldiers outside, and there are also wolves borrowed from the wolf man's friendly army to patrol. This man in black can sneak in without a sound. name strong.
High-level, or master
Hulk couldn't be sure, but he was sure that the man in black could strangle himself to death.
The man in black chose to sit generously on the chair in the room instead of hiding and waiting for the opportunity to assassinate, which means that the other party did not come to kill him.
Thinking of this, Hulk secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there is still a chance to maneuver, he regained his composure.
"Is there anything you want from me?"
Alligus couldn't help but glance at Wild Boar Gao. Originally, she had all the [Humanoid Creature Hold] in her hand, but she was surprised to find that Wild Boar gave up the idea of calling for help and quickly regained his composure.
The high-level quality of Jose's family members is really good.
Thinking of this, Arigas closed the door with the hands of a mage.
"I didn't come to see you."
During the day, after transforming and infiltrating, and making many inquiries, Arigas finally found out the name of the red dragon—Jose, and confirmed that the red dragon here was her comrade and partner in childhood.
After some more investigation, she found that the standard of living of the monster civilians under the Red Dragon was unexpectedly high, and once again confirmed the particularity of her partner.
After some deliberation, she decided to have a talk with the red dragon.
"Notify your master."
Hulk frowned when he heard the words, and did as he said.
After a while, Hulk's whole temperament changed, his eyes became sharper, and a domineering flame emanated from his body.
"Who are you?" The wild boar man's tone changed from his previous cautiousness, and became full of confidence, as if he was questioning from a superior.
Quiet~.
After a while.
Bilis said softly, "Francisco Trinidad Jose."
On the other side, on Jinshan Mountain, Jose was surprised to hear the black robe speak his incomplete real name.
The name "Jose" is not a secret. Quite a few monsters in Mordo Peak Forest know it, but the complete surname plus first name is known to only a few high-level officials such as Bailong, Green Dragon, and Yougou. Talk nonsense.
He fell into thinking, thinking about the identity of the man in black.
Does anyone else know my full name
Female voice, and take the initiative to talk to me.
Jose thought for a while, and his tone was a little uncertain: "Christian Rafael Arigos?"
"it's me."
"It's really you, my friend!" Jose's tone was a little joyful.
Jinlong was the first friend Jose met after crossing. He didn't ask for anything in return when he was recovering from his injuries, and provided a lot of outside information for free.
Later, they performed missions together and fought side by side to kill the high-ranking Master. Jinlong dug a passage from the collapsed cave, and the three dragons narrowly escaped together. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are life and death friends.
How could he not be happy to see such an old friend.
But after experiencing the initial excitement, Jose quickly calmed down and frowned: "My friend, sneaked into my family's room in the middle of the night. It's not very polite to visit an old friend like this."
On the chair, Arrigas froze.
As Red Dragon said, it is indeed impolite to visit like this, but from her point of view, before determining whether Red Dragon's attitude towards her is good or bad, communicating through the dependents is the safest way.
"Forget it, those two guys are with you, right?" Thinking of Arrigas's visit in this way, and thinking that Arrigas and the two dragons are both teenagers, Jose naturally compared her with the two dragons. The eldest sister who traveled together with two dragons contacted each other: "Bilis?"
"Ahem, that's right, Bilis is my pseudonym." Knowing that the Red Dragon regarded herself as a friend, Arrigs decided to clear up the misunderstanding. She lifted her hood and looked sincerely.
"Actually, I am also a member of the Windtalker Alliance. I also participated in previous operations, but I didn't know that you were also in the Mordo Peak Forest, otherwise I would come to visit."
Seeing Arigas being so honest, José felt much more at ease.
Moreover, when the Windtalkers Alliance conspired to deal with the green dragon, he was still in a hidden state, so he didn't even know about the other dragons in Mordo Peak Forest.
Thinking of this, the last little unhappiness in his heart disappeared.
Of course, he still hasn't connected the blond girl in front of him with the master-level old woman on the battlefield.
"Don't mention these unpleasant things, old friends come to the door, come and play with me."
"That's what I want to do too."
…
In the reception room under the Modo Peak Forest, Jose sat cross-legged on a seat and waited. On the table in front of him were fruits and nuts from his own territory, as well as drinks and juices for guests.
Without keeping him waiting for long, Ergou led the human form of Arrigas to come.
The moment Arigas entered the door, Jose was slightly surprised. He found that he couldn't feel the energy fluctuations of his old friend, as if she didn't exist.
When this happens, either the target is much stronger than Jose and can perfectly restrain its own energy fluctuations, or the target is wearing a treasure that shields the breath.
Jose prefers the latter.
In order to completely shield his spiritual power from probing, at least legendary level strength is needed. He is at the same age as Jin Long, and no matter how fast Jin Long progresses, it is impossible for him to reach the legendary level.
Sensing the probing of the red dragon, and seeing the suspicious gaze of the red dragon, Arrigs raised her hand with a smile.
Seeing the familiar ring on his slender index finger, Jose smiled.
No mistake, it was the teleportation ring that Jinlong took away when the spoils were divided.
"My friend, long time no see~," Red Dragon stood up.
"Yeah, long time no see," Arrigs also showed a sincere smile and walked towards the table.
Glancing at the things on the table, she was slightly surprised, not because of the fruits, nuts and wine on the table, but because the fruit plate and wine glasses were all made of pure gold.
Alligus was slightly moved. With the character of a giant dragon who regards money as his life, he was able to entertain herself with gold products, which shows that the red dragon sincerely regards herself as a friend.
However, it was a mistake for her to speculate on Jose's thoughts from the perspective of the dragon.
Although Jose also likes property, it is far from the point where money is his life. These gold tableware are not specially prepared for anyone, but his life is like this.
The two sat down, chatted together, and talked about their lives after separation.
Compared with the red dragon's hiding and hiding, the life of the golden dragon after escaping from the red nest is much more comfortable, and the parents feel guilty and compensate..., worshiping a legendary mage as a teacher, more than ten years have passed, and now he is a master mage.
In this regard, the red dragon expressed envy, jealousy and hatred.
"What do you envy me for? You guys are doing better than some legendary five-color dragons now, with so many dependents, and a halfling chef."
This is not a commercial bragging of Arrigas, it is the fact that some legendary five-color dragons who have messed up miserably are not as comfortable as red dragons.
She also envied: "Your life is colorful, it's like me, bored in the mage's tower all day, almost going crazy."
Jose rolled his eyes.
Perhaps, what you can't get is the best. I envy Jinlong's peaceful and stable life, and Jinlong envies my exciting and free life.
There is no excessive entanglement in the question of who is better off after separation.
"You have stepped into the master class in more than ten years, and your progress is quite fast."
"Huh~," Arrigs sighed melancholy at this point: "If you also had a knife hanging on your head, you would improve very quickly."
Jose is puzzled.
"Don't mention these spoilers," Arrigs didn't explain, and picked up a chestnut and put it in her mouth.
After chatting for a long time, Jin Long turned the topic to the imprisoned two dragons, and asked if he could take the two dragons away as a way of saving face.
"I'm afraid not, my friend." Jose frowned slightly: "It's not that I don't give you face, these two guys are very important to me now."
Arrigas made a posture of listening attentively.
"Now, the Windtalkers Alliance treats me badly. If I let them go, I will lose the bargaining chip. I can't give up the initiative. By the way, have you read the letter I wrote? "
Seeing his old friend nodding, Jose continued: "There is no lie in the letter, and they will be free in about half a year..."
After communicating, Arigas understood what the Red Dragon was thinking.
Keep the two dragons in case the Windspeaker Alliance and the Dana Kingdom jointly deal with Mordo Peak Forest.
As for the half-year deadline, it was because Jose and the two dragons had reached a certain agreement. The Red Dragon did not want to talk about the specific agreement.
"So, if I can guarantee that the Windtalkers Alliance won't trouble you, can I take them away?"
Jose frowned.
Judging by the tone, Arigas' status within the Windtalker Alliance is not low.
"How do you guarantee that?"
"I can guarantee you that my mother is an elder of the Windtalkers Alliance, and I am also a senior member of the organization. If I guarantee you, the alliance will not continue to trouble you."
After a pause, Aligues added: "The premise is that you don't do something like massacre the city, otherwise I, the guarantor, will also be punished. Of course, based on what I know about you, you won't Do such a thing, otherwise I dare not vouch for you."
Jose tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought.
After a while, he shook his head: "I need a little time to think, can you introduce me to the internal organizational structure of the Windtalker Alliance?"
"Actually, it's not a secret."
Arigues said directly: "The members of the Windtalker Alliance are divided into five grades from high to low, elders, senior members, intermediate members, junior members, and apprentice members. The highest decision-making body is the Council of Elders. Currently, the Council of Elders Thirteen members, my mother was one of them."
"Are there any conditions to become an elder?"
"Legendary strength, dedication to the organization, and at least half of the members of the Presbyterian Church voted for it."
Jose couldn't help being speechless, shocked by the power of the Windtalkers Alliance.
Thirteen elders means thirteen legends, and these are only members of the elders. Are there any non-elder legend members in the organization
However, the Windtalkers Alliance is a loose organization with members scattered across the continent, and the legendary powerhouses in the organization are probably high-ranking members of other forces. Otherwise, it is still a question of whether the governments of various countries will allow the Alliance to exist.
"You can slowly think about whether to accept my proposal, but can you take me to meet my two companions?"
"sure."
All the way down the nine-ring spiral staircase, Arrigs was secretly surprised to see dozens of salamanders lying at the entrance, and couldn't help but take another look at the golden mountain on the lava island in the distance.
Along the way, José was also secretly observing, and seeing that Arigos quickly looked away from the Jinshan Mountain without any greed, he couldn't help nodding inwardly.
All the way to the prison, the winch turned, the iron chain rattled, and the prison door was raised.
Seeing the scene in the cell, Arigas was dumbfounded.
She had imagined that the two dragons were abused and covered in bruises, and she had also thought about the iron chain fence and the dark prison cell, but she never imagined that the two dragons were writing and writing in a cell that was as clean as a small hotel room.
That's right! It's hard work!
A table, a bottle of ink, a stack of paper taller than the table, a quill pen held by an invisible hand, the sound of the pen tip sliding across the paper echoed in the cell.
The prison door opened, and the two dragons continued to swipe without looking up.
"Ai Li! The food delivery person is here! Let's compare after we finish eating!"
"No! I must beat you today!" The sapphire dragon transformed into a maiden was breathing fire from both eyes, and the writing speed of the quill was a little faster.
"Cough cough cough!"
"I'm busy! Don't disturb our game! Just put down the food!" Allie said impatiently.
Albert: "No! Why is this voice so familiar?!"
The two dragons suddenly stopped writing at the same time, and suddenly shook their heads, seeing the blond girl standing at the door of the cell and the red dragon behind her.
"Big sister head?!" x2
"Sister, even you were arrested?" Albert wailed in disbelief.
Ai Li said heartlessly: "That's just right, let's compete together."
Aligues' face darkened: "What are you thinking?! Let me see how you are doing!"
Let Sanlong chat for a while, and the two left.
On the way, Arigues felt quite ashamed, and couldn't help covering her forehead: "These two treasures!"
"Hahaha," Jose couldn't help laughing, and then returned to normal: "I think the two of them are quite smart. They exercise their mental power in the name of the competition. I guess they will improve their control of magic power after they go out."
Arigues' magic level is higher than that of the Red Dragon, so she can see it naturally, and nodded in agreement: "I've changed my mind, let them stay here."
"What? Didn't you take it away?"
"Well, if their parents know that you have cured their laziness in this way, they will probably wake up laughing from their dreams."
"I don't care," Jose shrugged, remembering the magical materials that had been sealed and researched by [Burning Wings]: "I'd be happy to feed them."
"You lack magical knowledge?"
"See? Yes, after all, unlike you, I don't have reliable elders."
Arigas nodded, it is indeed much more difficult for five-color dragons to learn magic than metal dragons.
"As compensation, I'll give you some magic books later."
"Thank you in advance," Jose happily accepted.
For the kind help of friends, the next step is to have the opportunity to repay in the future.
"Wait, compensation?"
Jose suddenly came to his senses, and looked at his slightly embarrassed old friend: "You don't owe me anything, do you?!"
"Hehe," Arigas smiled awkwardly and stiffly: "I'm very sorry, there is something I have to confess to you."
"Two days ago, I had a fight with you. At that time, I didn't recognize you. Such a misunderstanding happened. Anyway, I'm really sorry."
Jose froze for a moment, thought for a while, and thought of the old mage.
Previously, he had always thought that the mage was a master invited by the Kingdom of Dana, but he did not expect that it was the golden dragon in disguise.
José has mixed feelings in his heart, but he thinks that his friend didn't know about it beforehand, and those who don't know are innocent...or, forgive her
"Well, I prepared a gift for you. This is enough fire magic information for you to practice to the master level. By the way, where is your injured companion? I have some healing potions here."
"What's the relationship between us? It's a life-and-death friendship. Gifts or something... Then I'll accept it!"
"Ahem, it's definitely not because of the gift... Come with me, Olivia is cultivating in a secret place," he led the way.
All the way through the deep tunnel, Jose pushed open a secret door deep underground.
In the hall connected by the secret door, the two dragons saw the green dragon lying motionless on the ground.
Seeing someone coming, the green dragon opened his eyes weakly, and said weakly, "Jose, is she?"
"My friend, Arigas, is here to help you heal."
"Is it reliable?"
Jose's face darkened, is it really okay for you to question him face to face? !
However, Arrigas didn't mind this.
"Do you feel better today than the previous few days?"
Jose replied on behalf of his allies: "It's much better. On the first day, she couldn't even speak."
"That's easy, it shows she is getting better, and I will help her get better as soon as possible, let me look at the wound."
Seeing Jose nodded slightly, the Green Dragon was no longer refusing.
Seeing the black meridians spreading from the wound, Yarigs shrank her pupils with an expression of disbelief.
In order to confirm her thoughts, she dabbed a little bit of blood from the wound with her finger, and sniffed it at the tip of her nose.
"It's really a curse of howling!"
"The Curse of Wailing? What is it?" Jose asked curiously.
Compared with knowledge, Jose, who can only rely on himself, is far inferior to the golden dragon soaked in the mage's tower.
"A vicious alchemical poison, or evil medicine, the process of making this poison is very cruel."
"Torturing intelligent beings with extremely cruel criminal laws, arousing the resentment of intelligent beings, and then combining the essence of flesh and blood with evil magic rituals can be produced. Generally, only cults can produce such things," said Arigas with uncertain eyes.
Jose's heart skipped a beat: "Can it be cured?"
"It can be cured. The Wailing Curse is extremely poisonous to ordinary life, but it is not fatal to our giant dragon family. Even if it is not treated, Miss Olivia will naturally recover in half a year."
With that said, Jinlong took out a tube of medicine from the dimensional bag. The crystal test tube contained a golden liquid, and uncorked the bottle: "Miss Olivia, the treatment process is a bit painful."
"Thank you, I can bear it."
Without further words, Arrigs poured the potion into the palm of her hand and applied it to the green dragon's wound.
呲呲呲~.
As if the water met sulfuric acid, the wound made a squeak, and wisps of ominous black smoke came out, and the green dragon gritted his teeth in pain.
Still, Jose could see the malevolent energy dissipating from the wound.
After a while, the treatment was over, and the toxins in the green dragon's wound were completely removed, but his body was still a little weak.
José and Arrigas leave the weakened green dragon to recuperate.
All the way there was no words, and Yarigs looked a little ugly. Regarding dragon-slaying weapons, five-color dragons and metal dragons are very disgusting, which is why Yarigs left without saying goodbye.
As for the Curse of Wailing, Arigas didn't simply hate it.
"Jose, I have to report the news of the Wailing Curse to the alliance. It may involve a cult, so I'm leaving first."
"Well, go, welcome again."
After seeing off his old friend, Jose became more active.
If the Windtalker Alliance finds out that the Wailing Curse was produced by Dana Kingdom itself, it will be a good show.
