An invincible journey starting from a different race

Even he, the current Dragon Lord, the closest being to the Dragon King, could not be completely immune to the cursed aura from the Phoenix, nor could he completely resist the heat from the ground.

But now, Aesop, an outsider, owns all of these, which makes Murreg think in his heart... Damn, who is the master of this place?

And when I thought about the fact that Aesop had actually fought with Huang... Damn, I can't think about it, I can't think about it.

Murreg shook his head repeatedly. He originally thought that he had lived for so many years and had experienced such a big war, so he should not have any psychological fluctuations.

But now, he only felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

"That's really hard to deal with," Stank asked. "Carrying a curse like that is really troublesome. Is there any way to get rid of it?"

Murreg shook his head and said calmly, "If there was a way, the Phoenix wouldn't have stayed underground forever. For thousands of years, we've been searching for a way to lift the curse, or even limit it, but to no avail."

"That means there's no solution at all."

Murreg continued to shake his head: "There is no way at all."

When he said this, although Murreg's expression did not reveal anything, he was secretly happy.

Oh, you ignorant outsider, you have touched our taboo.

Now, don’t even think about returning to a normal life. Let this curse haunt you forever.

Thinking of this, Murreg couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth into an imperceptible arc.

Then he heard Aesop say, "If that's the case, then I can only stay here for a while. Stank, you guys go first."

"You're going to stay here alone?"

Aesop hummed, "If we can't find a solution, then we'll have to stay here. But you don't have to worry about me. Although it's a pity to abandon a forest, there's still a chance of finding a solution. Staying here to find a solution is better than looking for it outside. Besides, I won't find it hard to stay with Miss Incubus, the world's number one nightmare."

Staying with the world's most beautiful succubus... Stank's mind flashed back to them looking for ugly girls outside, while Aesop held the most beautiful succubus in the cave day and night...

Staying with Huang... Mureg's mind flashed back to the time when Aesop stayed in the volcano, traveling underground and outside every day, and shamelessly swimming in the magma with the Huang he longed for...

"no!"

"I don't agree!"

The two of them slammed the table at the same time, smashing it into pieces.

Aesop was slightly stunned and hadn't reacted yet: "What?"

Stank grabbed his right hand and said sincerely, "You are my brother and you saved my life. How can I just stand by and watch you die now?!"

"Well, I'm not dead..."

Before he could finish his words, Murreg grabbed his right hand.

"You are the most beloved guest of the Dragon Clan. How can I allow you to suffer such a great harm?"

Having said that, Stank and Murreg looked at each other and understood what each other meant.

"Don't worry! I (Gu) will definitely help you find a way to break the curse!"

"Please believe me (Gu)!"

I'm already answering your question.

In the next few days, Murreg led the dragon clan to frantically search ancient books, looking for a way to break the curse.

These former overlords, who had ended up defeated in the war years and then been in a slump for over a hundred years, showed a vitality they had not seen for a long time, and they also knew that all this was thanks to a human magician.

As for Aesop, since the dragons helped him find a solution to the curse, he didn't have much to do, so his daily life was simple. But after all, it was his own body, and although he didn't feel the curse brought him any inconvenience, he still needed to worry about it.

As a result, Aesop's daily tasks became very fixed, and he could even record them in a sentence.

"On the first day, in order to resolve the curse on me, I once again went underground to look for Miss Huang. With the dual benefits of the curse and the fire attribute, and the curse power on Miss Huang reduced by half, she no longer needed to stay in there, so I found her quickly. Miss Huang said she had no solution for the curse, so I delved into it, researched, and discussed it with her. Finding there was indeed no solution, I left."

"The next day, I felt that we still needed to think of solutions, to discuss them, and to research them. I couldn't just give up because I couldn't see a solution for the time being. So I went underground again to find Miss Huang. Miss Huang said she really didn't have a solution. I didn't believe her, so I tried again, and then I realized that she really didn't have a solution either."

"On the third day, I went deep underground to find Miss Huang for a solution. Before I left, Miss Huang said that next time I came to see her, I didn't need to make those weird excuses. I felt a little strange because I didn't make any excuses at all. Miss Huang still misunderstood me."

"On the fourth day, in order to resolve the misunderstanding, I went underground again to find Miss Huang. Miss Huang trusted me very much, so the misunderstanding was resolved."

"On the fifth day, go and deal with Miss Huang."

"The sixth day, Miss Huang..."

"Day 7, Aesop, oh Aesop, how can you be so lazy! Is there nothing else on your mind except Miss Huang? Hurry up and do something serious. Miss Huang is not the only nightmare demon in this world! Cheer up!"

"The eighth day, Phoenix."

On the ninth day, Aesop, who was already familiar with the route, was about to explore the cave for the ninth time when he was caught by Murreg with red eyes.

"No need to go, no need to go!" Mureg grabbed Aesop's arm, his voice extremely hoarse, "I have found a solution for you!"

Aesop looked at Mureg in surprise: "You haven't slept for a long time?"

"Yes... but those things are unimportant. I'm the current Dragon Lord, so ten days without sleep is no problem at all!" Mureg said excitedly. "As long as I can get you away... I'm saying, you're a distinguished guest of our clan, a most important guest. As long as I can lift the curse on you, a little hardship and fatigue won't matter to me!"

"Ah, thank you so much."

"It doesn't matter!" Murreg said, "Come, let me tell you now."

"Wait a minute." Aesop raised a hand, "Wait a moment."

Murrege was slightly stunned, a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Aesop said, "I'm going to tell Miss Huang first."

Having said that, he took advantage of Murreg's inattention and dived into the ground.

Murreg stared blankly at Aesop's back as he disappeared into the underground cave, feeling a mouthful of blood brewing in his chest: "You bastard, you really are you bastard..."

After waiting for almost an hour, Murreg finally brought Aesop back.

"Why the hell did you take so long?!" Murreg roared at Aesop, "Can't you just consider me?!"

Aesop was a little confused: "What's wrong with you?"

Murege tried hard not to reveal his true thoughts and said, "I've been waiting here for you for a long time, my feet are sore!"

Aesop said, "Then you can sit down."

Murreg: "..."

"There's no other way. Miss Huang hasn't spoken to outsiders in a long time." Aesop said, "So every time she pulls me aside to talk for a while."

After hearing what Aesop said, Murreg's restless heart gradually calmed down.

Yes, Huang, she hasn't spoken to anyone for a thousand years.

Murreg's heart softened instantly: "Did Huang... say anything?"

"Um...ah..."

"What's wrong?" Mureger looked at Aesop mumbling and groaning, somewhat puzzled. "Is it inconvenient for you to tell me?"

Aesop shook his head and said seriously: "I am already answering your question."

Murreg was stunned and didn't react at first. After he thought about it for a while, he fell straight down, which scared the other dragons and they immediately surrounded him.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?!"

"Pinch the Ren Zhong point, pinch the Ren Zhong point!"

After a round of first aid, Murreg finally recovered, and Stank, Jer, and the others were also called in. When Aesop was discussing life with Huang, they had gone straight to Central to find Amantha. Otherwise, watching Aesop running underground every day would easily cause a cerebral hemorrhage.

Look, isn’t this a cerebral hemorrhage?

After Mureg regained consciousness, he looked at Aesop below and thought to himself, "This is over. I must get rid of this bastard as soon as possible." He didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I had my people search through the literature and found three ways to remove the curse from you."

"There are actually three ways?"

Everyone was a little surprised. After all, the Phoenix curse had lasted for a thousand years and had not been solved. This made everyone think that it should be an unsolvable proposition. Unexpectedly, there were actually three solutions.

"Yes, but none of them are so easy to achieve," Murege said. "You could even say that these three methods are only theoretically feasible and have never been verified."

Murreg paused, then raised his first finger.

"First, a human arcanist might be able to erase the curse. Of course, it's not a complete curse, but the curse on you isn't complete, so there's a chance to try."

Arcanist?

Aesop began to think.

In other words, he could go back to find his teacher, or wait until he was promoted to an arcanist. But as for finding a teacher... forget it. Aesop felt that Abel might not support what he did.

"The second option is the Holy See." Mureg raised his second finger. "The opposite of a curse is a blessing. The Holy See may well have a way to counter the curse, but you'll have to ask them yourself."

Several people looked at Kolim and nodded.

"The third point," Murege said slowly, "is the other extreme."

One one four oh! You can also use it to speak

"So, which method are you going to use?"

In Central, in the "Tough, Invincible, Strongest" barbecue restaurant, Amantha asked curiously after listening to the stories of several people.

"I think each one is very interesting, especially the last one. So there are creatures on the same level as the Phoenix in the snow? That would be a mythical creature, right? What would it be like? I'm really curious~"

"It's indeed an Ultimate Creature, though rumors spread that it's just as incubus as Miss Phoenix's." Stank grumbled, "Why do these mythical creatures always claim to be incubi? If Miss Phoenix was just saying it casually, then what about the one in the snowy mountains?"

Yes, according to Dragon Lord Mureg, the third solution to the curse stems from the rumor they first heard about the worlds of ice and fire. Deep within the vast snow-capped mountains, beyond the reach of even the Snow Maiden, slumbers another mythical creature. Legend has it that it possesses powers on par with the Phoenix, even opposing them. This should be able to resolve Aesop's curse.

"But it's very interesting." Amantha smiled with narrowed eyes. "So you plan to go find that person directly?"

Stank, Jer and Ganqiu exchanged glances, then shook their heads at the same time, so vigorously that they looked like three rattles.

"Hey? You're not going?"

"I'm not planning on going right away," Stank sighed. "This trip to the volcano has already cost me half my life. If I don't rest and rush over right away, I'm afraid I'll lose the rest of my life there."

"Yeah." Jer agreed, also sighing, "Honestly, I've lived for two hundred years, and this is the first time I feel old. Damn it."

This trip to the volcano was the worst itinerary for them. If they hadn't returned to Central and had a blast while Aesop was lost in an academic discussion with Huang, they would have given the trip a 0. Even if they were ecstatic, it was only relative; in reality, it wasn't that exciting.

Think about it, they came here to grill sausages.

But not turning yourself into a sausage.

That feeling... is really a bit... hard to describe.

So they really need to relax, have a good rest, and make up for the mental exhaustion of this journey before they can move on.

"What about Aesop's curse?"

"Let's try other methods first," Stank said. "The Arcanist and the Church... Honestly, neither is particularly easy, but it's still a lot easier than going to the desperate situation of the Snow Mountains. Aesop seems quite reluctant to contact the Arcanist, so we plan to try the Church first. After all, we have Klim, so we can use his backdoor."

Kelimu immediately caught the key words and blushed: "What are you talking about?!"

"Through the back door." Stank looked at Klim strangely. "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing... I just think that it's not a good idea to have connections, hehe..."

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Klim almost dug his toes into the ground.

Jair was thoughtful because Aesop was unwilling to go find the arcanist. He glanced at Aesop who was grilling meat in front of him, thinking that this information might be the key to knowing Aesop's origin.

But then again, why do we need to know Aesop's origins? Isn't it enough to just know that we're all just good friends who have fun together?

So, Jer quickly gave up the idea.

"Ah~ You're leaving soon, and I'm a little reluctant to see you go." Amantha propped her cheek with her hand, her voice filled with loneliness. "I think you guys are quite interesting. I really want to sell this shabby shop and go exploring with you guys... But it's just a thought. Actually, opening a shop is quite interesting... Ah, it's all because you're too interesting. It's really boring for me."

"Hehe, don't worry." Stank said, "We will definitely come back to take care of your business..."

Amantha said "I hope so" and then turned to look at Aesop.

Honestly, her outfit today was quite alluring, even more erotic than anything she'd wear. It was the last meal, after all. Throughout the entire dinner, no one's eyes left her, except for Aesop, who was completely absorbed in the barbecue in front of her, as if this meal was just for the sake of eating.

In the face of his occasional teasing, Aesop did not react at all, and his deep eyes were calm.

It's like a great sage who has given up womanizing.

...But, have you really quit?

Amansha asked tentatively, "Aesop, if you leave like this, what will happen to Miss Huang?"

"Hmm?" Aesop looked up at her, somewhat puzzled.

"I mean, you're the only one who can talk to Miss Huang now, right?" Amantha moved closer to Aesop. Because Aesop's fire resistance was already maxed out, she could move more recklessly, even if she got squeezed and deformed. "Will Miss Huang feel lonely if you leave like this? After all, it's rare for her to talk to someone."
