[Remarks: The dragon has reverse scales, which will anger you if touched.Excessive qi hurts the body, mainly in the liver and spleen.If the liver and spleen are not in harmony, then... make up for the overdrawn kidneys first!Whether the liver, spleen, or heart and lungs are good, as long as the kidneys are good, let it be a flood!
——Green Dragon Potion Master Hippocrates Wellington]

It is conceivable that the innate reproductive ability has indeed brought a lot of troubles to the giant dragon family, so that the famous pharmacists, alchemists and scholars among these powerful creatures are extremely biased. The focus is not very serious in the eyes of other races.

Of course, this note is not the focus of Mo Tan's concern...

What he really cares about is the 'scale reverse' effect, which can make the dragon's bloodline invisible as a side effect!
Except for the regular side effects of using big moves such as 'attribute reduction', it doesn't seem too difficult to accept that the dragon's blood is invisible and loses all dragon characteristics. After all, for most players, this is just a temporary loss of some bonuses. It's just a success. Take the human/thunder dragon hybrid character 'Mo' as an example, which means that some basic physique and strength have been slightly reduced, plus there is no way to use the dragon tail to attack and activate the thunder scale talent. It seems that there is not much loss. , compared with the buff effect that can be said to be tyrannical and cool when the skill is activated, it can be said to be quite cost-effective!
but……

but!For Mo Tan, things are actually not that simple!
[Inverse Scale] This talent was learned by accident when he watched Fermiguel teach Yaya and Lujiang Dragon Language Magic in Xiaolongfeng of Tianzhu Mountain, but at the first sight he could see that the effect of 'Inverse Scale' was a bit wrong Mo Tan didn't say it directly, but quietly tried it out when no one was around.

Fortunately, he kept an eye on it!

Not to mention the effect of [Inverted Scale], the buff activated outside the dragon form is also clearly listed in the description, the problem lies in the effect of [Scale Inverse] after the fifteen minutes of the real man...

Not contrary to Mo Tan's expectation, at the moment when the [Reversed Scale] state ended, he fell to the ground with wings on his back, lightning flashing, and scales all over his body, and then he found that he was not so real for a while. The pain began to molt!No, strictly speaking, it is scale loss!
Along with pieces of blood-stained hair (crossed out) the scales fell off in large areas, and the two dragon horns on the forehead shrank into a pair of jelly and fell off. In just a few minutes, except for the one that also lost scales , except for the gecko-like but unbroken tail, all the dragon-born traits on his body have disappeared, not only his body has become clean, but even his head has shrunk a lot, turning into a complete '' Human', not a half-dragon with the blood of a brontosaurus.

[Ni Lin]'s talent shows that it is not deceiving at all. In the next six hours, all the dragon traits in his body really disappeared. After going back, the scaled dragon's horn gradually returned to normal. The race column in the character panel had clearly written: Human (hidden brontosaurus bloodline), and Mo Tan thought he couldn't go back at all.

Looking at it this way, this skill seems to be quite worthwhile...

Although there is a six-hour period of weakness, it can be used as a killer and life-saving move at critical moments. Compared with other races, the advantages are very obvious, especially for players. If a real man can't kill the opponent or forcefully breaks out of the battle and goes offline in fifteen minutes, then the death is not wronged at all, and the value is more than ninety times higher than the [Escape] skill of the character 'Tan Mo'!
But Mo Tan really dare not use this skill...

The reason is very simple, he who temporarily lost the blood of the giant dragon in the state of "Scale Reversal" is just like a human being, a human being!
And Mo Tan outside the game, and Hei Fan inside the game are also individuals, human beings!

They look so much alike!

Although there are dragons and humans in the three words half-dragon people, the difference between this race and dragons can almost be said to be species. At least they can be regarded as two different creatures before they grow up to be able to transform into dragons, but this The difference between races and humans is not that big, no matter the 'human' refers to humans, elves, dwarves, or dwarves, the only difference is that the dragon scales, dragon tails, dragon horns, and skeletons are slightly larger. On the minutiae.

Of course, these details are quite obvious. To give a simple example, a pair of twins who should look identical, if one of them is a half-dragon and the other is not (there are some examples, the genetic rate of half-dragon blood is not 100% ), then the difference in appearance between the two will become very large, just like the difference between the front and back of a white and tender guy who travels to XZ on a motorcycle, his mother may not be able to recognize it.

Ji Xiaoge, who is also a player and is quite familiar in reality, is naturally not Mo Tan's mother, so it is normal for her not to recognize Mo Tan in a half-dragon state.

But if the latter activates [Reverse Scale], and changes from a half-dragon to a 'human' temporarily after fifteen minutes, he, who is [-]% similar to the real black sandalwood, will be recognized almost [-]% of the time!
At that time, there will be no way to explain it!
That's why he doesn't want Ji Xiaoge, who is also a player, to know about this at this stage, because Mo Tan originally planned to transform himself into a reckless situation in a completely hopeless state. Those orcs who didn't seem to be overly abused took the initiative to resist, and maybe they could really create a chance to escape.

But if they act together, Ji Xiaoge's side is basically useless.

As for other reasons, it is not without, such as...

"Ahem, I mainly want you to find time to monitor and monitor them."

Mo Tan coughed dryly, offered an alternative reason with limited convincing power, shrugged and said, "If it has subjective emotions, it is very likely that those people will notice it, and it will be troublesome if it makes them wary."

Although the convincing force is indeed limited, this reason is still reasonable.

"Well, that's true."

Ji Xiaoge, who was not very angry at first, softened her face, and muttered while holding her chin: "I am really impulsive sometimes..."

Mo Tan smiled, and stood up on his knees: "It's okay, anyway, we have already said it, let's figure out a way together, I plan to go to the Adventurer's Guild first, do you want to go together?"

Ji Xiaoge was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "Adventurer's Guild? Are you going to issue a mission to deal with those bastards?"

"All of us combined together can't afford this kind of mission."

Mo Tan shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "The salary is too low, it will only scare the snake, and it may even be caught by the other party."

Ji Xiaoge nodded, and lazily stretched her body, the pair of snow-white wings on her back were also raised high, like a sail in Mo Tan's eyes...

"What is sailing? I'm not a boat!"

The beautiful girl with wings bared her teeth at Mo Tan, walked out of the room first, turned her head and smiled and said, "Since you have already made plans, I will accompany you for a walk."

fifteen minutes later
Anka Bazaar, the lobby on the first floor of the Adventurer's Guild

Chris, who was dozing off behind the counter, raised his head in a daze, yawned and glanced at Motan, and asked angrily, "What's going on again? I'll tell you about the blacklist!"

"Good morning, Miss Chris." Mo Tan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, nothing happened."

The young lady nodded, then lay back on her stomach again, and then stretched out her little finger to point to the door: "Then get out, and prepare for the security mission at night."

Obviously, this staff member has no desire to work at all...

Ji Xiaoge, who was standing beside Mo Tan, flapped her wings, held Chris's hand with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Well, we have something very important that we want to chat with you, sister."

Chris raised his eyelids lazily, while rubbing his long hair that looked a little messy due to poor sleep, he grabbed the back of Ji Xiaoge's hand and rubbed it against his cheek: "Huh?"

Mo Tan looked around casually at the crowd of rookie adventurers, and said in a low voice, "It's not very convenient here..."

"Okay, for the sake of sister Ye Ge."

Chris got up weakly, and glanced back at Motan: "The reception room costs 1 silver coin per hour, and the price for beauties is doubled. Come with me."

Then he led Ji Xiaoge upstairs on his own.

【Oh, although she is indeed a beauty...】

Mo Tan looked at the back of Miss Chris, and sighed with embarrassment, and suddenly remembered his wealth when he was 'Tan Mo'.

five minutes later
The third floor of the Adventurer's Guild, cubicle No. 3
"Sit wherever you want."

Chris raised his chin at the bench in the cubicle that could barely accommodate two people, put a glass of clear water in front of Mo Tan, then turned his head and asked Ji Xiaoge with a smile: "What would you like to drink? Is there sweet tea?" You can choose it with bitter coffee."

【coffee……】

Mo Tan subconsciously pursed his lips, looked at the clear water in front of him dumbfounded, and sighed.

Ji Xiaoge tilted her head: "I want to drink coffee~"

"Hold on."

Chris nodded briskly, walked to the small cabinet in the corner of the room and started tossing and clinking.

Because of the young lady's magical attainments, in less than half a minute, two cups of fragrant and rich bitter coffee were freshly baked.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

Chris put the coffee in front of Ji Xiaoge, sat across from them with big thorns, crossed his legs and said unceremoniously to Mo Tan: "It's best to finish talking within ten minutes, and the remaining time is just enough I'll catch up on sleep."

Mo Tan didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Not long ago, I saw a suspicious team at the entrance of the Golden Raspberry Auction House..."

"There are dozens or hundreds of suspicious teams here every day."

Chris interrupted him casually, and curled his lips: "Anka Bazaar is a pure trading place. There are smugglers, dirty goods sellers, money launderers, and everything. As long as they don't break the rules, no one will care about them."

Mo Tan sighed, and after a few seconds of silence, he slowly asked: "So, is it a bad rule to trade slaves?"

Ji Xiaoge held the coffee in her hand and looked at Chris nervously with a sullen face.

"Slave trade?"

Chris raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Of course it's a bad rule. Although human life is worthless these days, the slave trade has been banned a long time ago, and because of a certain Inexplicably ruined forces are especially taboo in the Northwestern Continent, but these days, the ghost of the Freedom City will not care about such things."

Ji Xiaoge immediately showed a gratified smile, and said excitedly: "Sister Chris, the 'suspicious' people Mo and I saw should be slave traders. He saw with his own eyes that two carriages were full of locked up people Orc."

In the end, Chris nodded very flatly: "And then?"

Ji Xiaoge was stunned for a moment: "Then?"

"A considerable part of that batch of slaves should come from the Fire Claw Leaders of the Violet Empire. I heard this from a friend before. Those poor people were all secretly captured by the Marshall family's slave hunting group." Mo Tan Frowning, he said in a deep voice: "The organization that escorted the slaves this time should be the underground chamber of commerce, Viper, and I can provide some evidence to prove that they violated the rules..."

"Breaking the rules?"

Chris shook his head, shrugged and said, "No, they didn't violate the rules."

Ji Xiaoge's eyes widened: "Why..."

"I said 'the slave trade was banned a long time ago', but the question is, do they sell slaves here?"

"but……"

"If not, it's not a violation of the rules, sister Ye Ge, this place is not as sweet as you imagine~"
