Chapter 476: Dragon [Part ]

——Ding Dong!
The brass wind chime hanging on the upper right side of the door made a slight sound!
After pushing open the door, Hu Qi walked away.

Not long after, his back was quickly swallowed up by the bustling street and disappeared at the end of the street in the distance.

Inside the restaurant.

After Hu Qi's figure completely disappeared, a strange color flashed in Lilia's eyes.

She stood up from her seat, adjusted her skirt, and prepared to leave.

however.

When she walked to the door of the restaurant, a male clerk in uniform suddenly blocked her way.

"This lady."

The male clerk rubbed his hands slightly awkwardly and looked away.

Lilia frowned.

She looked in the direction the clerk pointed.

I saw that it was the dining table against the wall where the two of them had just sat.

At this moment, there was still half a glass of unfinished red wine on the table, glowing dark red under the light.

at the same time.

Came the clerk's voice.

"The gentleman sitting at the corner table you were at just now hasn't paid yet."

Silence spread between the two.

In the end, Lilia took out the money with an expressionless face.

When Lilia finally stepped out of the restaurant door.

A hazy drizzle fell from the sky.

The street vendors also skillfully put up their awnings.

This kind of weather is normal in Hanyu City.

She has long been accustomed to this.

She walked quickly through the maze of alleys.

The sound of the soles of shoes hitting the cobblestone road was particularly crisp in the rain.

After turning the seventh corner, she stopped in front of a yard covered with vines.

After pushing the door open.

The figure standing quietly in the courtyard slowly turned around.

This is a man with the same blond hair. If you look closely, you will find that his face is about 40% similar to Lilia's.

only.

The eyes are different from Lilia's.

It is black and white.

And the strange thing is.

The black eye sockets of the man are larger than the whites of his eyes.

At first glance, it feels a bit weird.

"How about it?"

the man asked.

“The transaction went smoothly.”

Lilia took out the parchment from her pocket and threw it into the blond man's arms.

The man took it, opened it, and glanced around it.

There seemed to be a hint of blue light flashing in the pupils of his eyes.

He is employed in the Arcanist career path.

It is the main branch of the God of Wisdom, Alcalon, one of the seven righteous divine paths.

Possess the ability to create magic and identify paths.

Obtain new spells by studying ancient books, relics, or defeating enemies, with great potential for growth.

For those who follow the path of the arcanist, knowledge is power.

The Arcanist has a wide range of powers and can adapt to any combat scenario. He is particularly good at protracted battles and team support.

However, it also has certain defects.

That is, the physical strength is lower than that of ordinary professionals, and they rely too much on protective spells.

"Yes, this is a mermaid path. There is no problem in going from a Sequence 9 Half-Demon to a Sequence 6 Deep Sea Priest."

After a while, the blue light in his eyes faded.

Lilia did not comment on this.

Looking at the man, she turned her attention to another question.

"How's the investigation of that guy going?"

"We have found out that this guy who calls himself 'Rhodes' is not a professional in Hanyu City. He should be from somewhere else, most likely Night Crow Port. I heard before that there is the 'Treasure of the Mermaid King' in Night Crow Port, which contains this path to Sequence 5."

man said.

Having said this, he paused and then continued.

“Of course, this is just my personal guess. After all, something like what happened in Night Crow Harbor recently led to the death of two powerful Sequence 5 beings.

It stands to reason that with this person's strength, it is impossible for him to gain anything from it.

but.

If this person really comes from Night Crow Port, then he is very likely to have the information on the advancement of the Mermaid Pathway to Sequence Five!"

Speaking of which.

There was unconscious excitement in his tone.

Sequence five.

As a lord level.

The power it possesses is self-evident.

This kind of strength is absolutely top-level even in the church or the federation.

If he could get it and analyze it, he would definitely gain a lot.

It is even very possible that he can directly advance to become a Sequence 7 Elementalist.

However, I don’t know what to think of.

He took a deep breath.

Look at Lilia.

"Sister, do you want to take action against that person?

Judging from the methods this person has displayed, he is very likely a Sequence Seven being. Is it a bit dangerous for the two of us?"

Hear the words.

Lilia chuckled.

“While being cautious is not a bad thing, being overly cautious can cause us to miss some opportunities.

And, unless necessary, we don't need to confront them head-on.

All we need to do is secretly investigate whether the other party is related to that thing..."

Hear the words.

The blond man standing there had a strange look in his eyes.

"You mean the dragon?"

"Not bad!"

It's all over and it's all over.

“Although Asian dragon blood is rare, it is usually used in some low-level professional advancement rituals or in the combination of magic potions.

It is not very useful for a Sequence 7 professional, and is not enough for the other party to exchange it for a direct path to a Sequence 6 professional, unless there is a greater benefit involved, such as using some special rituals and methods to find the traces of the dragon! "

Things like dragons are extremely valuable.

It's hard to imagine that the two are simply not comparable.

Even if it is an ordinary Sequence Five, a lord-level professional would be tempted.

Once they discover the trace of a giant dragon, even if they cannot hunt it themselves, they can resell the information and make a fortune.

Although the career path of a mermaid is precious to the two of them, it is far less valuable than that of a dragon.

“I left a mark on that and could follow that person.

Even if it fails, it won’t be a big loss for us. We can sell the information about the Sequence 5 Transcendental Pathway that the other party may have, and we can also make a profit..."

Lilia said lightly.

As for the issue of being discovered, she wasn't actually worried about it.

Because she herself is also a Sequence Seven being.

And it is an extraordinary way that focuses on physical strengthening and combat.

If a real fight breaks out, I will be confident enough and not afraid of the opponent at all.

Plus, she has the help of her younger brother.

The other person is just alone.

What kind of waves can it create?
"That's true..."

The blond man nodded.

However, he stopped speaking halfway through.

Then it was replaced by the dull sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.

Lilia looked up.

His expression changed.

I saw.

In the quiet courtyard where the drizzle is like smoke.

A black shadow had quietly stood under the eaves of the corridor at one side and merged into the shadow.

The whole person is like the embodiment of shadow, with no facial features at all.

At this moment, he suddenly came behind the blond man.

The long sword pierced through the man's head from behind and came out from between his eyebrows.

just.

The weird thing is.

There was not a drop of blood gushing out of the wound.

Moreover, the blond man's young and strong body shrank and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a skin-and-bone corpse. It was as if all his flesh and blood had been devoured by some strange force.

“Cabe!”

Lilia looked shocked and angry.

While feeling angry, I also felt a little frightened.

The other party was able to sneak up to them without them noticing. He must be at least a Sequence 7 professional, or possibly even higher!

Think about this.

The hairs on the back of her neck stood up.

The shadow of death climbed up his spine like a thorn in his flesh, and the instinct for survival instantly overwhelmed all rational thinking.

--Roar!

With a low wolf howl, her face twisted and deformed, her red lips stretched to both sides as if torn, revealing her ferocious fangs.

The slender body suddenly swelled.

The dress on her body was torn apart by her surging muscles, and her snow-white skin was quickly covered with thick silver hair.

In the blink of an eye, a giant wolf two meters tall appeared on the spot, its silver-white eyes emitting cold and fierce light in the rain.

At this moment, she was looking at the murderer who killed her own brother.

The anger in his eyes almost burst out at that moment.

"Go to hell!"

Lilia's own career path is orc.

This career path is very special. When transformed, the physical body can be enhanced extremely horribly, but at the same time, it also has a serious flaw.

That is, after the transformation, one's own rationality will be affected by the animal nature.

This is also the reason why she did not run away at the first moment.

puff!
However, before she could move, she felt a pain in her abdomen.

Her face was stiff.

He looked down in disbelief.

I saw a blood mark appear on her steel-like skin at some point, breaking her in half.

It was as if her defenses were as soft as tofu.

At this moment, a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound.

But the blood did not fall to the ground.

All were absorbed by the opponent's sword.

"how is this possible?"

Severe pain hit her brain.

At this moment, he lost his balance and fell on his back to the ground.

Subsequently.

Then I felt a breath of death coming.

Look up.

A sword flash pierced straight into her forehead, nailing her to the ground.

"Uh……"

Lilia's eyes bulged.

His eyes were fixed on the dark shadow in front of him.

She wanted to see the man's face clearly, but unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, there was only a blurry shadow and she couldn't see it clearly at all.

Then, she lost consciousness.

soon.

Only two desiccated corpses were left lying on the ground.

In this regard.

The figure just glanced at it lightly, picked up the parchment that recorded the mermaid's path from the ground, and threw it at Lilia.

Then two flames shot out from the mummy.

What was strange was that the flame was not affected by the rain at all. Instead, it burned even more vigorously in the rain.

In just a few breaths, the two corpses and the parchment turned into fine ashes, which were picked up by the howling cold wind and disappeared without a trace.

After doing all this, the black shadow did not stop.

His figure dissolved like ink, blending silently into the shadow of the corner, leaving no trace.

Not long after.

Several masked figures suddenly appeared here.

It was the law enforcers who rushed over after hearing the noise.

After searching the area, unfortunately, nothing was found, not even any bloodstains.

I just sensed a trace of spiritual fluctuations lingering in the air and confirmed that there had been a fight between professionals there before.

In this case.

These law enforcers did not stay for long and turned around and left.

Their profession is simply to maintain order.

As long as these professionals did not kill ordinary people on a large scale, they naturally would not bother to investigate.

……

It didn't take long.

In a dark alley three blocks away from here.

A dark shadow emerged silently.

The shadow cast over his body receded like the tide, gradually revealing the clear outlines of his facial features.

At this time, a young man with red hair and red eyes appeared, carrying a long sword on his back and looking calm.

This person is Hu Qi.

He had already noticed the tracking mark the other party had left on the item.

On normal days, he would have simply disdained such little tricks and might even have played along with the two of them.

But in this ten-star novel world, he had to be extra cautious when his own strength had not yet fully recovered.

Any possible hidden dangers must be nipped in the bud.

If the news leaked out and attracted the attention of those covetous people, or even the federal officials or the Church of the Seven Gods, it would cause endless troubles for him.

Since the other party has ill intentions, there is naturally no need to keep it.

Dealing with those two people was just a trivial episode for Hu Qi.

He took out the bottle of dragon blood he got from Lilia.

Use your fingers slightly.

Click!

next second.

This glass bottle, which was made of special materials and was used to isolate the spiritual energy of the dragon's blood from being lost and had a hardness comparable to that of diamond, shattered into pieces.

only.

The blood was not spilled.

Instead, it gathered into a blood-colored sphere in the palm of his hand.

Finally it solidifies like glass beads.

And Hu Qi held the bead.

Along with a trace of the Blood Swordsman's spirituality injected into it.

Suddenly, a mysterious feeling appeared in Hu Qi's heart.

It was as if there was a thread invisible to the naked eye extending from the blood cell to somewhere unknown.

Seeing this, Hu Qi's eyes flashed.

"Sure enough, there are still dragons alive!"

This is exactly why Hu Qi wants to obtain the blood of the Asian dragon.

The dragon is hard to find.

However, the Blood Swordsman has the ability to trace the source of blood, so there is no need to worry at all.

As long as we obtain blood as a medium, we will be able to find the dragon at the source.

This is also thanks to the dragon's inherent lustful nature, which is why even though sub-dragon creatures are hunted by professionals, there are still many of them.

Otherwise, it would be a real hassle to find it.

Think about this.

His figure moved.

Rushing towards the direction perceived.

Soon, the towering walls of Hanyu City were left far behind.

The bumpy road in the rain was as flat as the ground under his feet and had no effect on him at all.

People passing by could only feel a slight breeze blowing by, and could not see Hu Qi's figure with the naked eye.

How long does it take?

Hu Qi stopped while running.

Appeared on a tree branch.

Look up.

Not far away is a village shrouded in mist.

A few wisps of smoke rose from the stone chimney.

A peasant woman wrapped in a coarse cloak was carrying a wooden barrel towards the cowshed, and the sound of clanging could be heard from the blacksmith's shop in the distance.

"interesting."

Hu Qi narrowed his eyes and rubbed the blood beads in his hand with his fingertips.

He originally thought that the dragon would be hiding in an underground maze or a cave somewhere.

But I didn't expect it to be lurking in a village.

at this time.

His eyes seemed to be attracted by something.

A hint of surprise flashed across his face.

"Huh? This is..."
