Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

The old town is still bustling at night, but unlike the modern city-like street lights of Huadu, this is an extreme medieval fantasy style street scene. Adventurers of different races dressed in various travel clothes gather in groups of three or five, some drinking drunkenly, some playing chess and cards. Old-fashioned restaurants and taverns are running around the clock.

Most areas of Newbiss are not as developed as the Flower City. Most adventurers send their earned money back to their hometowns, and their own entertainment is also at the same pace.

But no matter what choice you make, it is life, and this is what the Order Air Cavalry guards.

"The intruders are really picky." said Li Ang.

Elafia nodded. "I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the Order Headquarters has given several possibilities, one of which is 'a monster with a high magic immunity ability accidentally entered.'"

"That's the best-case scenario, but I understand why you might think that."

Li Ang shrugged: "After all, if they deliberately evade the shield's defense, then they will be a tough and formidable enemy."

He looked up and could see the small airship belonging to the Order Investigation Team circling on patrol in the lavender sky even now.

The two continued to move forward, and Li Ang opened the system miniature map.

Before coming here, he had thought about how powerful the hidden locations given by the system would be in a place of the size of the Holy City.

Sure enough, the system displayed a lot of new information.

[Map: Saint-Vitask, southern part of the old town]

[Exploration Rate: 35%. Merchant locations are now available. Further increasing your exploration rate will unlock special shops, hidden quest line hints, and resource points. A high exploration rate can unlock hidden locations.]

The huge holy city is divided into many blocks, each with different hidden locations.

Li Ang noticed that the Old City and the Adventure Zone were divided into north and south, while the Flower City had three zones. While the Central Zone wasn't large, each tower counted separately, resulting in four separate zones.

The area of the Holy City is close to that of a second-tier provincial capital in his previous life, so even though Li Ang has lived here for many years besides his adventures, there are still many places he has not been to.

When you have time later, scan the maps of each area one by one.

Because of the system exploration rewards, Li Ang felt a sense of freshness.

Riding on Alafia's flying sword, they had a pure magic shield to protect against the strong wind, moving at a very fast speed and soon reached the edge of the holy city.

Many of the buildings here are built in the air on supporting pillars on the island rocks. Some buildings are even connected by shaky rope ladders or suspension bridges. Although there are protective nets below, you can still see the bloody earth directly.

Alafia brought Leon to an alleyway, which was already guarded by members of the Order Investigation Team.

Their emblem is the V-shaped wings of an airship and crossed swords.

Seeing Alafia coming over, the members of the investigation team nodded and looked at Leon.

“People here have been killed.”

The blond boy led Li Ang into a house where several staff members were gathered.

An alchemist wearing a mask and gloves scraped some substances from the ground and put them into a sealed container.

Li Ang frowned: "Are you collecting remains?"

"Yes."

The alchemist on the ground said, "This civilian was home alone, and they probably just happened to run into an intruder."

Li Ang used a questioning tone, mainly because the remains were in such a tragic state that they could almost be said to have been dissolved.

Even though I often see dead bodies during adventures, it is rare to see them being chewed up, swallowed, and then spit out halfway through.

Normally, Newbis monsters wouldn't kill people in such a beast-like manner.

"Are there any other victims?"

"The scope of the investigation is not large in a short period of time." Alafia pointed to the bustling old town, indicating that this was a job that required manpower.

"I've already sent out requests to some sky knights who are good at detection, but it will take some time to get new information."

Li Ang nodded and switched to spiritual vision.

The spirit of a dead creature will dissipate. Leon didn't want to find out anything from the corpse, but wanted to see if the attacker had left any traces.

"Ok?"

"What did you find?" Douding asked.

A strange atmosphere filled the entire room.

The concentration of spirits is higher than in ordinary air, especially outside the house, but even with the powerful spiritual observation ability of spiritual vision, it is impossible to immediately see where the problem lies.

Although spiritual perception worked, there were other reasons why Leon was certain that there were unconventional spirits here.

"Not sure yet."

Leon used spiritual traction to try to gather the spirits in the space.

The traction efficiency is very slow and the spirits are too scattered.

He increased his magic output and suddenly felt an itching on his left arm. Tsk, this is the devil's curse.

The curse, like a thorn in his flesh, had been plaguing him for several days, and he gradually understood its situation. He felt that the reason he grew horny thorns so quickly was not because of the use of spiritual power, but simply because the effect of this alienated curse was so fast.

While feeling the influence of the curse, his spiritual control became stronger than before. The weak spirits that were difficult to gather were still drawn over and gathered in the palm of his hand, turning into a ball of fluorescent spirit.

Switching back to the material horizon, Leon stared at the palm of his hand. He couldn't see anything with his naked eyes, but he could perceive it through his senses.

Alafia and the surrounding members of the investigation team are not weak, and their perception ability is enough to detect this concentration of spirits.

"As expected, it takes a high-level sorcerer to do it."

Aifei's eyes were full of approval.

"What is the nature of this spirit?" she asked.

The nature of spirits determines what they will use magic to do. Although professions other than sorcerers can sense spirits, it is impossible to understand the specific nature of the spirits.

"fantastic."

In Li Ang's eyes, it is constantly changing and full of plasticity.

“It only requires a specific kind of magic, which should come from its original owner.

"After obtaining this magic power, it will use the magic power to produce different effects according to the needs of the owner."

Ellaphia asked, "Can you confirm that the original spirit is a monster?"

"About 80 to 90 percent. I've never seen this kind of spirit before, but I don't think it can fall off a person."

Li Ang discovered the difference as soon as he arrived, which made the investigators very excited and they looked at him with respect.

The alchemist said, "We also believe that the victim's dissolution wasn't caused by acid magic, but rather an attack from a biological substance with strange magical powers."

"Then this is the tricky kind," said Alafia.

Leon walked out of the room and vaguely felt that this scattered and faint spirit also existed on the street, but it was very weak.

In a day or two, there will be nothing left.

"Can you track down where the traces are going?"

Li Ang tried to continue to attract these spirits, but the spirits outside the house were too weak and would break if he pulled them, and they were almost lost.

"I may need to make some other attempts. If that fails, I'll have to conduct a thorough search for these strange spirits."

"You do it." Alafia said decisively: "I had no idea before you came anyway."

"it is good."

Leon took out a Salamander egg that he had not purified.

"You're going to—"

The blond kid seemed to sense something, and saw Leon draw the dragon's blood directly from the egg.

The purest dragon essence is the 9th-level material "Dragon Factor". The blood of an ordinary sub-dragon can be said to be the result of repeated dilution, but it still contains the power of the dragon.

Another sense of disharmony that Leon sensed was the sensation brought about by his status as a rank 6 dragon summoner.

By the time the boat was built and the breeding room was opened, Leon might not have enough time to purify all the Salamander eggs, so he simply consumed them here.

As a ball of light gray dragon blood approached the spirituality he had collected, the two immediately began to combine and the dragon blood began to surge.

If he wasn't a dragon summoner, this contact would have ended in an explosion. He precisely utilized the abilities of both professions to ensure the stable operation of this change.

Gray-black particles continued to fall from the dragon's blood, and the blood became purer and purer, beginning to take on a golden color.

The golden blood flew towards the spiritual ball, combined with it, and turned into a ball of brilliant light powder.

Its light contained almost all color changes, like a dream, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around.

The system also displayed a prompt at this moment.

"We know the true identity of the intruder."

Leon said to the Knights of Order: "It's the Fairy Dragon."

【Fairy Dragon Scale Powder】

The scales that fall from the wings of fairy dragons are the medium through which these unpredictable dragon monsters perform various transformation magics, and they contain incredible power.

[Level: 7]

[Spiritual; Effect changes according to dragon power]

[Use: Equipment Manufacturing, Spell Materials, Alchemy]

"Fairy Dragon?" Some of the Order Knights present had never even heard of this term.

"Isn't that a variation of the fairy tale story about goblins?"

Leon scratched his hair. Indeed, he himself had never heard of the existence of such a creature in Newbis. He only knew about it from Farina's explanation of the Dragon Ancestor.

If he had not been exposed to various fantasy works before traveling through time, he might not have believed that such a creature existed.

Ellaphia testified: "Fairy dragons do exist."

Although she had never seen it, and had doubts in the past and even now, she would judge that the Dragon Witch was not lying based on Farina's attitude when she told the story.

Li Ang raised his hand, and the ball of scale powder began to slowly attract the spirits scattered in the air. They should have been scattered when the fairy dragon cast a spell, and now they were reunited by the complete scale powder.

"Let's go." Following the direction of the traction, it was the route the fairy dragon took after passing through the arcane veil.

Leon and Alafia followed the fairy dragon's whereabouts. On the way, Douding said, "Does the fairy dragon kill civilians for food?"

"do not know."

Leon had killed many dragons, but he had no idea about creatures like fairy dragons.

The most common ones are the two-winged dragons, which are divided into two-legged or four-legged. If Farina hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that they originated from the ancestors of dragons, the "black and red twins."

The rarer ones he had killed were flying snakes and worm dragons. The latter was the same, and if it weren't for Farina, almost no one would regard them as dragons, and they would all be named as worms.

One island he had visited, Tazo Island, was home to a legend of a mysterious creature with a cat's head, a snake's body, and two claws, simply called the "Tazo Worm." The old souls at the time were tasked with investigating the existence of this creature, and eventually, Leon and his team found it deep within the rocks.

Now that I think about it, if Farina hadn't been there, the mission would have failed.

It is even more impossible to see things like sea snakes. Where is the sea in Newbis?

"What I'm more confused about is how it got through the arcane veil?"

The ball of scale powder in Li Ang's hand is only level 7, so its owner should not be more than level 8. Even the protective shield that can block legendary super-large monsters for a while, how could it be penetrated by a fairy dragon of this level?

The two followed the trail, passing some shops.

Dessert shops, gift shops, toy stores, clothing stores...

"These are places where children go," said Li Ang.

"It seems the folklore is true. Fairies are just like children. Now their source has done something similar..."

Leon lowered his head to speculate, not noticing that Alafia was looking back at the shops. When she heard him, her expression froze, and she immediately turned her head: "Right, right."

The two chased him to a pub.

Seeing them, the waiter immediately came over, but the boss was even faster, practically jumping over the counter and rushing over to the two of them.

"What's the matter, you two?"

The boss smiled and asked the waiter to go away and served the guests personally.

He obviously recognized Alafia.

Some scantily clad girls were walking around the store. The blonde girl smiled faintly, "Are you feeling a little guilty?"

"What's the matter?" The boss was sweating and tried to smooth things over with a dry laugh.

Leon knew that in the old town, the main crime these taverns might commit was providing prostitution, but he was not here to investigate that today, so Alafia did not pursue the matter for the time being.
