"If you mean to become like you... I'm sorry, I can't help you." Ah Dai really wanted to take his eyes away from Lao Ba. Looking at him for one more second would pollute his memory capacity.
If you see someone jumping into a pit full of shit to take a bath, then running around with the shit all over him to dry, and finally telling you some moral truths with an expression of enjoyment, 99% of people will definitely run as far away as they can.
The remaining one percent would immediately call the police and arrest the shit-eating old man. Ah Tui really wants to do that now.
"Oh, you ignorant fool," the coprophagist continued, spewing feces. "Thank goodness the Round Table has a rule against fighting, otherwise you'd be defiled by me." He turned and walked back the way he'd come. "Don't disturb this rare peace again, or the curse that lingers around me will devour you ignorant souls."
"The person who takes the initiative to look for you is probably suffering from some serious illness." Ah Dai ignored the other party's foul mouth attack and evacuated the contaminated area as quickly as possible. He couldn't come to this place in the short term, as it would take a long time for the smell to dissipate.
After leaving the area contaminated by the coprophagists, A Tui saw the witch waiting near the central hall, pacing back and forth with a struggling expression. She seemed to be hesitating whether to return to the contaminated area.
Ah Tui called out, "Amei, that guy has gone back to the depths."
Melina turned around abruptly upon hearing this. Her expression was relieved for a second before she became nervous again. "Stop! Partner, stay where you are."
"Ah?" Atui was stunned for a moment, then he immediately realized from the disgusted expression on the witch's face that he couldn't get closer - he had stayed in the deeply polluted area for a long time, and his clothes were stained with the smell of feces. He had to be purified first.
Prayer, the healing flame!
The warm flames swept over Ah Tui's body, ensuring that every part of his body was cleansed by the flames. Only then did Melina breathe a sigh of relief and finish the purification process. "That's all right. Otherwise, if we were to carry this smell around with us, we would definitely be beaten to death."
"You're right, this smell is really unbearable." A Tui opened the mask and breathed in a breath of precious fresh air. "How is Rodlika?"
Melina replied, "Don't worry. After being away from those filthy people, Roderica's mood has gradually calmed down. I sent her back to the other side of the round table. With Grandpa Xiugu taking care of her, there won't be any problems."
"It's good that she's okay. As for that..." Ah Tui really didn't want to mention that dirty word. He was so disgusted that he didn't even want to eat dinner tonight. "That guy inside, who is he?"
Ah Dai considered himself knowledgeable and experienced. He had seen many strong people who were good at combat skills, magic, and prayer, but this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a weirdo who was good at playing the "Oli Gei" game. Today was really an eye-opener for him.
"That guy inside is someone no one wants to mess with." Melina walked slowly into the hall. "He was once beaten to death by angry villagers for spreading his defiled ways. His body was even hanged in the street for public display."
"It would be a miracle if he wasn't beaten to death after all..." Ah Tu was still frightened.
If he encountered a dung eater outside the Round Table Hall, he made up his mind not to get within ten meters of Lao Ba, and to end the battle with a magic shot from this distance.
"Let's not talk about him. My stomach churns at the mere mention of him." Melina retched slightly. "What do you think of the information that old fox Ovnir gave us? There's a slight chance that the witch, whose fate was tied to yours and who served you, is still alive. If you're willing, we can find a way back to the Chapel of the Princes."
Finding a way to the chapel and rescuing any surviving priestesses did not mean that Melina intended to give up the contract between the two and give up her partner. It was just that due to her kind nature, she could not stand by and watch her sisters die.
"That's not necessary." A Tui shook his head. "Although I was attacked by the limb-removing nobles shortly after arriving at the chapel, I had already inspected the scene before that. The murderer killed all the priestesses. They had died several days before I arrived. The only one left was this."
He took out a blood-stained white silk scarf from the dimensional bag. On the smooth cloth, the scarf's owner's last words were written in her blood: Even if the guidance has long been broken, please become the King of Elden.
They had never met, never spoken a word, and before their destinies crossed, the nameless and innocent witch had perished at the hands of an ambitious schemer. But even so, Ah Dai could understand the weight of these last words and this wish.
Melina placed her palm down, covering the silk scarf on A'tai's palm.
The moment she touched the blood words, the witch seemed to transcend time and space and felt the sincere feelings in the blood. At the last moment of her life, the sister waiting in the Prince's Chapel still had hope.
Perhaps it was this mysterious will that allowed her to pick up the faded one who had lost the miko: "Sister who failed to embark on the journey, I will inherit your thoughts and complete your unfinished wish. Our partner will definitely become the best King of Elden in history!"
"I don't know if I can become the best king, but..." Ah Tui held Melina's soft hand tightly, "I promise to take you to the golden tree, for those who still live on this land, and for the hopes that the dead have entrusted to us, the living."
No one's sacrifice is worthless, because the living will inherit that precious memory from them.
The golden light of the Great Blessing was projected onto the face of the witch Bai Zhe, as sweet as honey. She opened her mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but unexpectedly—
The idiot who couldn't read the atmosphere showed up at a good moment and disrupted the first and second rounds.
"Hey! My followers! I'm so glad to see you back safely to see your master!" Diaros sprinkled two handfuls of flower petals on his head and made his debut with a pose he thought was very cool.
Melina pulled her hand back at lightning speed, and A'tai also avoided looking at each other, and then they both coughed a few times at the same time, pretending nothing had happened.
"Have you...caught a cold?" Diaros expressed the care a superior should show his subordinates, as was his way of thinking. "The weather has been getting colder recently, so you should take care of your health. If you get sick, you won't be able to serve your great and glorious master."
"Thank you." Ah Tui replied in a stern tone, "But I don't remember when I became your subordinate again."
Diaros opened his arms and said, "Oh, dear Ati, have you forgotten who saved you from the chariot of fire? From that day on, you were filled with gratitude and pledged allegiance to me, a descendant of a noble family."
"The roles are completely reversed, aren't they?" Ah Dai complained, "And how did you come up with that later plot?"
"Of course it is. Ah! My jaw!"
"If you have something to say, say it now! If you have something to say, fart now!" Melina uppercut Diaros on the chin, and he immediately became obedient. "Don't start a dyeing factory just because you are given a little color. Do you think everyone is as idle as you?"
She was furious at the moment, and it was clear why.
"Nonsense! I'm the busiest person in the border area. To find the bastard who killed Lenya, I've even reduced my sleep to eight hours." Diaros rubbed his chin, looking left and right with a serious expression, like a gang member meeting. "My repeated inquiries paid off. Not long ago, those lawbreakers finally couldn't sit still and came to find me."
"What did you say?" Melina stared at Diaros with an incredulous look. "The Betrayer found you? And you're still alive!"
Everyone knew that the second son of the Khosrow family was a useless piece of paper, and Melina, who was friends with him, agreed with this point deeply.
The witch knew very well how strong this half-baked guy was. In her imagination, if the rebel really found Diaros, this guy would probably die on the spot without even having time to escape. By the time his body was discovered, the grass on his grave would be three meters high.
"What do you mean I'm still alive?" Diaros slapped his chest, "I'm the head of the famous Khosrow family!"
"Do you believe me when I tell you this?"
"Ahem, slip of the tongue. He's the second-in-command of the prestigious Khosrow family." Diaros immediately flinched when Melina mentioned his brother. "Those lawbreakers were utterly routed by me in no time. They were on their knees, begging for mercy and screaming for their lives."
Melina took two steps sideways with a vacant look in her eyes. "Buddy, let's go. It's a waste of time to talk to a guy who daydreams all day long."
"Hey, don't go!" Diaros got anxious when he saw the two of them were about to leave. "Do I look like I'm bragging?"
"No, it's like."
"You're just bragging."
A'tu and Melina sang the same tune and didn't give him any face at all. This guy would be radiant if he was given a little sunshine, and would be so proud and lost if he was praised a few times. He must be suppressed before he becomes self-inflated and loses his sense of reality.
"Hmph, you're using your old prejudices to look down on me. Let me tell you what it means to look at someone with new eyes after three days of absence. Don't be surprised when I tell you." Diaros leaned in closer, a hand to his lips, and spoke mysteriously, "Those lawbreakers bowed to me and respectfully handed me an invitation to their headquarters to become a member of their organization."
Melina's brain automatically filtered out 90% of the exaggerations in his words, and she only understood one meaning after simplifying it.
The rebel invited this fool, whose head was full of heroes, to his lair, most likely because he thought his IQ was no higher than that of a preschooler, and wanted to trick him into coming so that he could kill him on the spot and destroy the body.
And this fool...actually believed it!
Fortunately, the young master was not completely stupid. He at least knew that it was not enough to rely on one person to destroy the enemy's huge organization. He came back and wanted to bring two "subordinates" with him to accomplish a great cause together.
Diaros continued to chatter away, recounting his undercover plan to take advantage of the situation. "How dare these guys look down on me, the second-in-command of the Khosraw family? They killed my men and then recruited me. Do they think I'm incompetent? But that's just in the best of circumstances. I'll pretend to agree, then infiltrate their base and completely destroy the Betrayer from within."
"So where is their base camp?" asked Melina.
"Go west from Windmill Town on the Yatan Plateau. The Volcano Mansion, nestled deep within Mount Gmir, is the base of the Betrayer." Diaros said with great ambition. "You damn Betrayer, clean your necks and wait. I will definitely... Eh? Don't leave!"
After hearing the most important information, Melina poked A's arm, the hint was obvious, and the two left the hall without saying a word.
In addition to defeating Lacard and obtaining the Great Rune, there is another reason to go to the Volcano Mansion, but Diaros, who is a drag, must not be brought with him.
If he goes there, he will be sending his head thousands of miles away for nothing.
They were responsible for handling the revenge for Lenya and the affairs of the lawbreakers.
After finishing what they promised to Lani and completing Roger's commission, they will go to the Yatan Plateau and go to the Volcano Mansion to find out what's going on.
Volume 2: The Flowing Stars: Chapter 73: The Tomb of the Flying Dragon (Added)
There are only two paths from the plains to the Yatan Plateau where Wang Cheng Luodel is located.
First, collect both halves of the talisman and activate the "Dicoas Elevator" built when the Golden Army went on the expedition. The elevator will fly straight over a height of several thousand meters and take passengers to the entrance of the plateau.
Second, rely on physical strength to climb and cross the steep mountainous areas on foot.
There are few people there and supplies are scarce, so even wandering merchants won't go there to sell their goods.
The difficulty of walking this road is as difficult as climbing to the sky, no less than a border version of the Shu Road. Without first-class agility, it is very likely to get killed along the way.
Melina concluded that Diaros would not be able to cross the mountains and reach the plateau with his ability. He might even give up with a cry of pain as soon as he climbed the first hill.
For someone who can only maintain enthusiasm for anything for three minutes and gives up when encountering difficulties, this is already the limit.
The two halves of the token needed for the first method were hidden by the Lost Knights in two ancient fortresses at the border.
According to the information Melina got from the old woman who could untie the fingers, half of the talismans happened to be hidden in Galid, and the location was not far from the town of Ceria.
On the mountain road, A'tu and Melina rode on Torret and went up the road.
Both of them focused their attention on the wolf-shaped pendant swaying in the witch's hand, and from time to time they fine-tuned the direction of the spirit horse's advance based on the strength of the badge's vibration.
As they got closer to their target, the badge vibrated faster and faster. Melina licked her lips, looking quite excited. "Buddy, my new wolf-shaped treasure-hunting badge is vibrating at high speed. We're looking in the right direction. There must be a part of the Great Elevator Symbol buried somewhere nearby."
This mysterious badge, which came from outside the border area, was found by a witch at a festival. According to the merchant, it was originally made by a demon hunter school to track monsters.
Some people will also transform it into other, less serious uses.
Because the border area is full of monsters and even the leader sheep can call down lightning to kill people, this badge that keeps buzzing has no effect at all.
It was not until later that the merchant who sold the badge had an idea and transformed it into a treasure hunting badge, and finally sold it for a good price.
"It's not impossible that it's some other magical item. Before I adjusted the frequency, it kept barking at me." Ah Tui noticed the vibration coming from the road on the top of the mountain. It seemed that some giant creature was wandering nearby. "And judging by our previous experiences, these magical items are usually guarded by monsters that are attracted to them. Don't get too excited and rush into the monster pile."
The most common and famous treasure guardians are various types of dragons.
The last time they went down the cave to look for treasure, they were almost buried alive by a ground dragon. It took a lot of effort for them to escape. They must not repeat the same mistake this time.
"Don't worry, I won't fall into the same trap twice." Melina smiled and said, "If there really is a monster guarding the treasure, we'll chop it into pieces first. When it can't do anything anymore, we can swagger in and take the treasure."
"What if we can't win?" Ah Tui was embarrassed.
"How is that possible? We even defeated Latarn. We can easily walk sideways on Gallid." Melina was full of confidence.
Torrett shook his head: "Neigh—(I'm a horse, not a crab.)"
Ten minutes later, Melina put away the badge that was shaking like a convulsion, and instead took out the telescope used to scout the enemy. What she saw was a mother dragon that was ten times larger than an ordinary dragon.
The milky white dragon body, as huge as a mountain, exuded a strong aura of death. Its lower half was sunk in the soil, while its upper half was barely alive outside. It was literally half buried in the ground.
Ah Tu looked at a female dragon whose head was even bigger than Yakiel's, and silently calculated how many slashes, arrows, and magic spells would be needed to kill it. "Amei, this dragon should be quite famous, right?"
The flying dragon Yakir and the pyroxene dragon Smarag are both well-known and have their own territories and names. There is no reason why this giant dragon in front of them, which is of an exaggerated size, should not have a resounding name.
"...Wait a minute." Melina just said it casually, but who would have thought that a treasure guardian who was so awesome and abnormal would really appear. It would be too difficult to kill such a big-headed dragon.
She quickly consulted the Encyclopedia of the Borderland and found the record of the suspected target on the second page of the Wyvern family: "Gui'or, the Mother of Wyverns, of unknown age, is said to be the mother of all second-generation Wyverns. She mates with the Wyvern King and has produced countless offspring. She is a super-ancient species of Wyvern, a species known only in legends."
"Hey, hey, this sounds terrifying!" Ah Tui was shocked on the spot. "Let's not even talk about how difficult it would be to kill such a huge dragon. The consequences of killing her alone would be so severe that they are incalculable. Wouldn't we become wanted criminals hunted by all the flying dragons?"
It would be fine to kill a solitary dragon with no relatives, but the mother dragon's status is equivalent to the queen bee in a beehive.
If they really killed her, the worker bees would go crazy and chase the two of them all over the border.
"It's okay." Melina was the most stubborn person in the room, thinking there was still room for improvement. "I observed Guior's condition. She's very old, her body is decayed, and she has almost no fighting power. I didn't see any dragons guarding her nearby. Perhaps she was abandoned here to die."
"Boom-"
As soon as she finished speaking, Guior wailed softly. Following her shrill roar, a little black dragon, completely black and filled with deathly aura, appeared out of thin air, flapped its wings and landed next to the Dragon Mother.
Guior, once the Mother of Wyverns, has lived through the ages, witnessed ancient wars between dragons and wyverns, and spanned the era when many generations of Elden Kings ruled the borderlands.
Now, her life has come to an end. The strong aura of death has attracted the souls of the dead dragons to return. The power of the Mother of Dragons has turned from life to death and has become the "tomb" of the dragons.
Those wanderers who returned home had lost their memories of their previous lives, but they still remembered the instinct to protect their mothers.
"A broken dragon soul, what kind of crazy automatic protection mechanism is this?" Melina was overwhelmed with grief, thinking that today was a really unlucky day, and everything she feared would come true.
"Amei, it's better if we go around them," A-Tai suggested. "The general direction indicated by the badge is behind the dragon. We don't need to fight them head-on here."
Torrett nodded his head like a madman: "Whee-whie-whie--(I raise both feet to agree, that means all four feet agree!)"
It's okay on flat ground, but being chased by a dragon on a mountain road is no joke.
"What are you afraid of? It's just a half-dead female dragon and a black dragon soul that can't die. It's no problem for us to handle it. Let's go... hm?" Melina's courage was interrupted again.
"boom--"
In the telescope's field of view, the second black dragon flapped its wings and landed.
"Even if there's one more..."
"Bang-bang-bang-"
Before Melina finished her words, black dragons fell to the ground one after another. The number of small dragons surrounding the Mother of Dragons was as many as a football team. Their scarlet eyes were searching for any creatures around that could pose a threat to the Mother of Dragons.
The two men immediately put down their telescopes and free-fall to hide behind the hillside.
This is no longer a question of whether or not the Dragon Mother Guior can be killed, but a question of how to avoid being discovered by the black dragons and whether or not one can save his life.
If you really want to kill so many dragons in one go, you'll have to use the legion commander's authority to pull a reinforced company from the Red Lion Fortress, and they'll have to bring heavy weapons to do it.
Ah Tui swallowed his saliva: "How is it, Ah Mei? What are you thinking about now?"
Melina laughed awkwardly a few times. "Ha, ha, ha...it's not easy for them to reunite as a family. Let's find another way around here."
Two men and a horse fighting against the Mother of Dragons and more than a dozen flying dragons. They must be crazy to do such a thing which is tantamount to suicide. Those dragons can hit Torrett like a bowling ball.
