Chapter 405 The ancestor of the six races, the world in the painting
[After the servants retreated, all the slave girls turned their heads and did not dare to look at you, as if they were afraid that your bestiality would show up, so they checked their bodies.]
[Only the green-skinned half-dragon glares at you fiercely, baring his teeth at you with a fierce look, showing great provocation.]
"These slave girls are a bit of a hindrance. It's always awkward to have people waiting around while you're doing business..."
Lin Xun summoned a slippery ghost to make the girls fall into an illusion, so that he would not have to deal with these girls after finishing his work.
[You arrive in front of the cage, and as soon as you open the iron cage door with the key, you see the ‘half-blood half-dragon’ showing its fangs and roaring towards you! 】
[It wears heavy and sturdy shackles on its hands and feet, but it can still attack you with its sharp teeth!]
Lin Xun smiled slightly and decisively switched the body of the dragon man.
Both of them are from the dragon clan and belong to the same kind. Most of them will burst into tears when they meet fellow villagers.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘original hermit seeking knowledge’! 】
[You deliberately did not use the 'power of flesh and blood', nor did you use the 'Art of Change', and faced the 'Green Half-Dragon' who is also a dragon in the most primitive dragon form. ]
[It was obviously taken aback when it saw that you were the same kind. When it saw that your dark skin color belonged to the 'descendant of the hermit', it roared and cursed 'damn traitor', and then attacked you more ferociously...]
[You possess a trace of the pure blood of the ‘Hermit Ancestor’, and your strength is much higher than the ‘hybrid half-dragon’ in front of you, and you can easily avoid its attack. 】
[However, your avoidance made it become more ferocious and attack you one after another!]
[You can only slap it on the forehead with a paw, and while it is dizzy, use the chain blade in your hand to tie it tightly so that it cannot move.]
[The ‘Green Half-Dragon Man’ wakes up and starts to curse loudly. You glare and let out a shocking dragon roar! 】
[Suddenly, the extremely oppressive majesty of the high-level dragon clan spread out, causing it to tremble with fear and instinctively kneel to the ground. 】
[Even the ‘Slick Ghost’ on the side almost didn’t react, causing the phantom surrounding the human girl to tremble faintly, almost leaking the dragon’s roar and powerful pressure. 】
[The 'Bicui Half-Dragon Man' was so overwhelmed by the dragon that he couldn't get up. He felt extremely ashamed and angry. He simply turned his head and closed his eyes. He stretched out his hands and feet, making a 'big' shape, and spoke from his teeth.
A sentence squeezed out from the gap...]
[Damn traitor, if you want to do it, hurry up and get out as soon as you’re done! 】
Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, and his face was covered with black lines.
"Sister, you don't even look at your majestic appearance. If it were the slave girl next to you, I would consider it."
"Uh... maybe in terms of the dragon's aesthetics, the little dragon might think it looks good?"
[You know that except for the ‘ancestor of the hermit’, all members of the hermit family have abandoned the ‘Almighty True Knowledge’ and become believers in the ‘Bright Stars’, which is why the ‘descendants of the saints’ despise and hate you. 】
[In order to explain the misunderstanding, you praised the greatness of the Almighty True Knowledge and spurned the despicability of the Bright Stars in front of the Green Half-Dragon Man...]
【……】
[After a series of self-certifications, when it finally recognized that you were a devout omniscient believer, it couldn’t help but feel ashamed of what it had just done. When it faced your inquiries, it knew everything...]
[Since the end of the God War, the ancestors of each dragon clan have sealed most of their own power in accordance with the agreement with Allah's 'Almighty Knowledge', and have taken all their descendants to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, without intersecting with the human world. 】
[The ‘Saint Clan’ thrives in the remote jungle and spends countless years...]
[I thought that the peace and tranquility brought about by the victory of the God War would last until the end of time, but no one thought that before the light of the stars was completely dimmed, an endless mist called the 'Knowledge Obstacle' descended on the world, not only isolating the chaos.
The thirst for knowledge has also isolated the starry sky above people's heads...]
[The mist that cannot be dispelled is filled with terrifying 'disorder', causing the 'saint clan' to fall into great panic. The 'ancestor of the saints - the ancient green dragon' prayed devoutly to Allah, but never got a response...]
[The ‘Red King’, ‘Golden Herrscher’, ‘Emerald Saint’, ‘Indigo Spirit’, ‘Pale Wise Man’, ‘Dark Hermit’, the ancestors of the six races gathered together, trying to unite to call on Allah...]
[But not only did Allah not respond, even the abode of Allah, the extremely sacred temple of knowledge, had its door closed, making it impossible to enter...]
[The ancestors of the six ethnic groups have since had differences. Some believe that Allah has abandoned them, some believe that Allah has encountered an accident and is temporarily unable to respond to his people, and some believe that Allah has gone crazy or died...]
[No matter what the other five tribes think, the ‘Holy Ancestors’ stand unswervingly on the side of Allah. Their holy tribe is the most devout and steadfast people, unlike your hermit tribe. 】
[The ‘Forefather of the Holy One’ returned to the mountains and forests, praying devoutly every day, waiting for Allah to respond one day, hoping that Allah can dispel the endless fog...]
[Even if Allah does not take action, as long as the power seals of each ancestor can be unlocked and they can once again fight for Allah on the battlefield, then...]
[The people of the Dragon Clan will not spare their lives. Even if they sacrifice their entire clan, they will sweep away all enemies for Allah and shoot down the stars that are about to resurrect...]
【……】
[This is a legendary story that everyone in the clan knows, and a belief that everyone firmly believes in. It is not a secret. 】
[You can’t help but wonder, since the saints all live in seclusion in the mountains and jungles, how did they get caught here, and the ‘Pole Star Society’ seems to have captured many pure-blooded descendants of the saints. 】
[The 'Green Half-Dragon Man''s eyes showed deep hatred when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and told you, because not only the hermit clan has taken refuge in the evil gods of the stars, but the Herrscher clan is also a traitor. They betrayed the coordinates of each clan's territory and exchanged information with you.
Seek rewards from the evil gods of the stars.]
[Nowadays, the life and death of the ‘Saint Ancestor’ is unknown, and the entire ‘Saint Jungle’ has ceased to exist due to the war. Not only the Saint clan, but also the traitors who have taken refuge in the stars, all races have not escaped the disaster...]
[The dragons with high bloodline are imprisoned in the painting and suffer torture that is worse than death. 】
[The bloodline power of the ‘descendants of saints’ has the talent for healing spells, so heretical humans extract their bloodline and try to integrate it into themselves. 】
[The Pole Star will therefore create many existences similar to the "Starlight Priests", and the "Starlight Priests" are just the human heretics with the least bloodline power. 】
[It was due to a large amount of blood being extracted that it degenerated from a pure-blood descendant into a 'half-blood half-dragon'. 】
[It has lost its use value and has become a slave, being traded and sold like pigs and dogs. 】
[The Saint clan is not the most miserable, the most miserable are the descendants of the ‘Pale Wise Man’...]
[Heretical humans discovered that they could gain knowledge by eating the flesh and blood of the wise men, so they raised, no, force-fed them, and kept the descendants of the wise men in captivity until they were fat and huge. Then they slaughtered and cut their bodies, and feasted on them on disgusting tables.
】
[Where do you think the dragon eyes circulating on the market come from? They are all dead dragons of the same kind...]
[The ‘Green Half-Dragon Man’ broke down in tears when he said this. 】
[You have acquired knowledge, and the amount of knowledge has increased by 3000! Current amount of knowledge: 35800/37800]
Lin Xun fell into silence. When he first entered Chapter 4, he had wondered where the eyeballs of the 'ancient wise man - the Pale Dragon' in the Bennett Clinic came from.
Unexpectedly, except for the ‘Hermit’ and ‘The Herrscher’, the fate of the rest of the dragon clan would be extremely miserable.
"The high-level dragons are imprisoned in the painting...could it be a giant starry sky painting like the one we just saw?"
"There is a unique space in the painting, or the painting is connected to the entrance of a certain space."
"The Evil Gods of the Stars are really hiding like rats... No, the dragons who are loyal to the 'Almighty True Knowledge' have fallen into this state, why don't the servants of the God of Knowledge help?"
If the Servant of the God of Knowledge is truly a loyal servant of the ‘Almighty True Knowledge’ as he says, it is impossible for him to ignore the heroes of the past divine wars.
Unless the servant of knowledge is a thief who usurps authority and wants to become the main god himself.
It has nothing to do with whether the emperor or his ministers live or die, whether they are devout believers who believe in the "Almighty True Knowledge" or oathbreakers who betray God.
Lin Xun didn't know how correct his guess was, but this was indeed the most reasonable explanation at the moment.
[The time for the auction is approaching. Do you want to leave this place directly, or do you want to rescue the 'Jade Half-Dragon who seeks knowledge'? 】
Lin Xun took a deep breath and summoned the Valkyrie and the Nine-tailed Fox in reality.
He ordered the two of them: "Get rid of the slaves in the warehouse, clear out the entire manor, and leave no one alive. Bring that viscount to me with his hands and feet broken."
After thinking for a while, he summoned the Snow Girl and continued: "Follow them and pick up spiritual and dropped items. Don't miss them, and don't rush to the front yourself, otherwise I will waste my soul strength to resurrect you..."
After the three of them took the order, Lin Xun waved his hand and put them back into the game.
As a temporary base in the manor, the one with the highest combat effectiveness is the legendary 'Star Favorite'.
The rest are all little monsters like chickens and tile-dogs, and the ‘Starsingers’ are only at the epic level, let alone the lower-level ‘Starseekers’.
The Valkyrie and the Nine-Tailed Fox team up to clear the map, which is really easy.
【……】
[The ‘Nine-tailed Fox’ held a magic ball surrounded by purple electricity, and electric snakes roared around it. It floated off the ground and left the warehouse first, followed closely by the ‘Snow Girl’...]
[The ‘Valkyrie’ flapped her fine copper wings, broke through the masonry barrier above her head, broke through the roof all the way until she reached the outside world, and drew her bow and arrows from a high position to prevent any escaping fish from slipping through the net. 】
[The ‘Slippery Ghost’ on the side opens his arms in a hug at your command, expanding the scope of the illusion to the entire manor...]
[Soon, the sound of thunderous explosions and powerful arrows breaking through the air, accompanied by screams one after another, echoed throughout the manor. 】
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Evil Son of the First Fire of Desire’! 】
[You wave the scarlet sword and cut off the chains and shackles between the hands and feet of the ‘half-dragon’ with one strike...]
[When it sees you, it changes its appearance again and looks at you blankly.]
[Many slave girls around are still trapped in the illusion and unable to extricate themselves, and nothing unusual is found.]
"Saving one person is also saving, and saving a group is also saving. Good people will do their best to the end, and send Buddha to the West..."
Lin Xun manipulated the body and liberated these slave girls one by one.
However, these people cannot leave the manor for the time being, at least not until the news that the manor has been captured spreads.
[You lead the ‘Green Half-Dragon Man’ out of the warehouse, walk past the charred corpses of the guards in the corridor, and return to the ‘Star Favorite’ office on the first floor of the mansion...]
【……】
[You point to the giant painting that occupies the entire wall and ask the ‘Green Half-Dragon’, are those high-level dragons imprisoned in similar paintings? 】
[It nods and tells you that the high dragon clan is imprisoned by a giant painting like this, but the pattern on the painting is different. 】
[It is a painting depicting an underground abyss. The picture is dark, eerie and terrifying. Once you have seen it, you will never forget it. 】
[But it doesn’t know where that painting is now...]
[While speaking, the Valkyrie and the Nine-tailed Fox knocked on the door and entered. The Valkyrie was holding a middle-aged aristocratic man with limp limbs and a big belly in his hand. ]
[The ‘Snow Girl’ behind them is only wearing a close-fitting undergarment, and has already taken off her outer kimono, and is wrapped into a large ball containing many sparkling objects. 】
[It spreads out its kimono like a treasure, and hands over all the spirits and props contained in it to the ‘Dragonborn-sama’. 】
[You have obtained the ‘unyielding chunk of spirituality’*18]
[You have obtained the ‘weak spirituality of enlightenment’*9]
【You got...】
Lin Xuncou took a quick look and found that the explosion rate was not very good and there were no good items dropped, so he began to entertain the owner of the manor, 'Viscount Dexter'.
Unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a tough guy with very firm beliefs. No matter how hard or soft he tried, he refused to speak.
Lin Xun could only take out the 'Time Prison' and reward him with the treatment of a dark room for a few days.
‘Time Prison’ is indeed an artifact of torture.
It was only thrown in for a few seconds, but after being released, 'Viscount Dexter' had snot and tears streaming down his face, and he wished he could even tell him the color of his underwear.
The ‘Star Beloved’ is the person in charge of the temporary stronghold and is in charge of the force. While this Viscount is ostensibly responsible for the operation of the auction house, he is actually responsible for intelligence collection.
He knows a lot of information, most of which he got from the mouths of the nobles, but there is not much key information about the subsequent plot.
After interrogating for a long time, I learned that there are many giant paintings similar to the 'Pole Star Society Branch', distributed in various small cities in the empire, and the giant paintings from each stronghold can enter the 'Pole Star Society Branch'.
As for where the paintings imprisoning the high-level dragons are, you may get some clues in the 'branch'.
Lin Xun decisively killed 'Viscount Dexter' and possessed the body to verify the accuracy of the intelligence.
【……】
[You hold the ‘Teleportation Badge’, do you want to step forward and touch the giant starry sky painting to teleport into the ‘Pole Star Club Branch’? 】
Lin Xun knew that the temporary stronghold was as good as the branch, and there must be powerful followers of the stars in the branch.
He thought for a moment and decided to leave the 'Green Half-Dragon Man' and a few summons in the manor.
The summons were okay, mainly because he was afraid that the half-dragon would accidentally die after following him.
If the painting that imprisoned the 'Saint Clan' can be found, this half-dragon can become a guide.
