Under the curious gazes of the monsters, the three dragons walked through the cave all the way to the end of the cave, and came to a door that was concealed. The black dragon's rotten aura inside the door was undisguised.
Jose pushed open the door and walked in, and saw the black dragon behind the stone table—O'Neill.
At this time, the black dragon is in the form of a half-dragon man, with the head of a black dragon. The humanoid body is covered with fine black scales, the nails are sharp, and there is a shortened dragon tail behind the buttocks. It looks like the Holy Lord in "The Adventures of Jackie Chan" Kind of similar, but a little slimmer than the St. Main.
"Master O'Neill, we are ordered to report here, this is our mission certificate," Jose said, handing over the parchment.
Ever since the three dragons entered the door, the black dragon never took his eyes off the shaved ice in Cassie's hand, and only glanced at the parchment that Jose handed over.
Jose took the opportunity to put the parchment on the table: "The lord told us that you like sweets and ice, so we prepared a little gift."
Alligus pushed Cassie, and Cassie came to her senses and stepped forward to put the watermelon shaved ice on the stone table in front of O'Neill.
"Well, yes, you are quite sensible."
O'Neill sniffed the watermelon shaved ice, and was about to taste it, when suddenly the door was pushed open from the outside, and a goblin walked in with a tray in his hand.
"Master O'Neill, the dessert you asked for has arrived, wow!"
The goblin didn't notice the dragons inside the door, and suddenly bumped into the white dragon, spilling the desserts on the tray all over the floor, his face turned pale with fright, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop and knocked his head with a loud bang.
"Master O'Neill, please forgive me... Please forgive me... For the sake of old Cole serving you for many years..."
O'Neill waved his claws with sharp nails: "It's okay, old Cole, my loyal servant, just pay attention in the next life."
Old Cole's face completely lost all color. He got up and was about to flee outside, but his body froze just as he lifted his foot.
Then under the gaze of the three dragons, Old Cole turned into an indescribable black soft substance, and the room was filled with the smell of rotting corpses.
Jose noticed the black halo spreading under the black dragon's feet.
Corrosion Aura!
The aura of corrosion is the natural ability of the black dragon. Within the range of the aura, the black dragon has the ability to instantly kill other creatures that are far weaker than itself, and corrode their corpses into slag.
"Hmph! Clumsy trash!"
O'Neill waved his hand, and the corpses, trays, and scattered desserts on the ground, which could no longer be called corpses, flew to the garbage pile in the corner of the room.
Even by dragon standards, O'Neill is brutal.
Jose lowered his head, Jinlong loli did not dare to breathe, as for Bailong, he was already trembling.
But O'Neill seemed to have done a trivial thing, and took a bite of watermelon shaved ice.
Seeing O'Neill's eyes light up, Jose knew he was satisfied with his gift and was relieved.
"Good! Good! Very good! What's the name of this thing? Who invented it?"
"Master O'Neill, as long as you like it, this is called shaved ice, and it's my first time making it."
"You made it?" The black dragon glanced at Jose suspiciously. A red dragon invented ice-type delicacies, which is a bit like a joke.
He didn't worry too much: "How do you do it?"
"It's very simple. Remove the seeds and rind of the watermelon and mix it with pure water that has been frozen into ice, mash and mix well."
"Sounds really simple. I'm very satisfied with your gift, but!" O'Neill suddenly lowered his voice a bit, and looked at Jose with a half-smile: "The task still needs to be done properly."
Jose felt a bit of a toothache, but he didn't dare to raise any objections: "Naturally, it's all for His Majesty the Mistress."
"It's all for your majesty," O'Neill nodded, and continued, "Your task is to investigate the abnormal situation in the forest, find the reason why the detection magic fails, and solve it."
As he said that, he took out a crystal ball from under the stone table: "This is your quest item - the magic sensor crystal ball, this thing can sense subtle magic fluctuations, it can help you complete tasks better, and it will also record You've been places, so don't try to find a place to hide and be lazy."
"Yes!" Jose took the crystal ball, feeling the cold crystal ball in his hand like a hot potato.
"By the way, don't say I took your gifts for nothing, you take this map."
Jose took the map handed over, glanced at it, and found that it was a map of the northern part of the Tidanol continent, including the Jogol Mountains, the dark forest juxtaposed with the Jogol Mountains in the east, the northern prairie, and finally the The humans in the south are the five kingdoms of the North.
In a sense, a piece of watermelon shaved ice is exchanged for a map of the Northland, and three dragons earn blood.
You must know that there are no satellites in this world, and each map is a large force that consumes countless manpower, material and financial resources. It asks its members to measure the mountains and rivers with their feet, and then stitches together the collected information to make a usable map. Such maps have enormous strategic value.
However, the original intention of Sanlong to send watermelon shaved ice is to exchange for some substantial support and reduce some mission risks. What is the use of Black Dragon giving a map of the Northland? !
They don't need to explore the entire Northland!
From the perspective of reducing the danger of the mission, the map given by the black dragon is worthless.
Jose held the crystal ball and the map in his hand, and walked out of the cave with his two companions to a safe place away from the cave.
"He sent us away like this?! It doesn't make sense!"
Arrigs sighed: "Haven't you noticed that Wolf's breath is exactly the same as that of O'Neal."
"Wolf? Who is Wolf?" Jose was taken aback, and the mocking smile of the Warlord Gnoll appeared in his mind.
"Rugged enough! Ruthless enough!"
Most of the middle-level positions on the Red Nest are held by the dragon's family members, but not only the family members of the Red Nest Mistress, other dragon's family members can also hold important positions.
As the commander of O'Neill Fortress, it is more than enough to place a powerful follower in the Red Nest as an Overseer.
"So you can be content, you offended his confidant, and O'Neill didn't embarrass us, it's already a credit to the shaved ice."
Jose turned his head to look at the cedar pine forest on the distant mountain: "It seems that we are not worth his embarrassment, the danger in the forest is enough."
Arrigas was worried, her brows were slightly frowned, and she remained silent.
Cassie was also silent, but his silence was fundamentally different from the other two dragons. He simply didn't understand the situation and didn't dare to speak indiscriminately.
There was a long silence.
"Before carrying out the mission, do you have any ideas?" Jose looked at Jinlong Lolita.
When it comes to communicating with other people, her identity as a red dragon has a natural advantage in the red nest, but when it comes to fighting and specific actions, Golden Dragon Lori has received systematic education from her parents, and her opinions are extremely valuable.
Therefore, the three dragons agreed that Jose would come forward to communicate with others, and in terms of actions, the red and gold dragons would discuss and decide.
Arrigs took a look at the map of the Northland: "This map is too big, and it is only a reference value in a small area. We need a guide who is familiar with the terrain."
Jose glanced at the cannon fodder camp not far away, and saw a familiar figure: "It's him."
