Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

That night, Li Ming and Lina stared intently at a magic map.

The map shows the terrain of Dragonbreath Town.

There are two highlights: one is themselves, and the other is the positioning scale that Li Ming placed in the batch of dragon materials that Ailiya entered during the day.

Not long after nightfall, the location of the dragon materials began to move.

Lina exclaimed in surprise, "Li Ming, you guessed right! They really did make their move tonight!"

"Don't rush, this is just the beginning. Let's see where they go first."

After a moment, their expressions grew increasingly serious.

Lina cried out in alarm, "It's terrible! They're heading towards Dragonbreath Town! Should we stop them?"

This means that the cult's headquarters is very likely in Dragonbreath Town. Since cults need to offer sacrifices to summon evil gods, and there are so many people in Dragonbreath Town, if they are affected, it would be a major event.

Li Ming calmly comforted him: "No, we can't rush it. You forgot, the main materials needed for the ritual for that goblin village we cleared out before have already been prepared."

"The dragon materials and high-energy crystals in Dragonbreath Town weren't something that people started buying up after we arrived; the cult probably already had a lot of materials prepared long ago."

"If we stop them now, we'll only alert them. If they quietly start the sacrifice and we can't find them, that will be even more troublesome."

"Keep calm and let Captain Fenrir and the others prepare for battle."

Lina was persuaded. She stood up eagerly from her chair and said, "You stay here and keep an eye on things. I'll go and inform Fenrir."

"good!"

Lina ran to the window, took out the communication conch, and began to contact Fenrir.

After a while, she returned to her room, feeling dejected.

"Fenrir received a message from Dominic today. He's currently in the office checking taxes. He told us to be careful and that he'll come over when he's done."

"No, didn't you say the cult has made any moves?"

"I said so."

"However, he said that they had already inspected the entire Dragonbreath Town with the Dragonborn and found nothing suspicious. It should just be a small group of cult members causing trouble, and with him there, nothing serious will happen."

Li Ming took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

Don't be angry, don't be angry. Fenrir is a peak fourth-tier big shot. He has the right to look down on these cultists. I, a second-tier, still need to do my best to complete the work.

"Alright, since he's said so, let's start with the reconnaissance."

The two sat in the room, continuing to stare at the map, when suddenly, a wave of drowsiness washed over them.

"What's wrong?" He glanced at the tea beside him. He had brewed a strong cup of tea to prepare for staying up all night, so why did he feel sleepy?

Are all the teas from Longxi Town counterfeit?

"Ha—" Lina yawned when she heard Li Ming's voice, then said lazily, "What's wrong? I'm so sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."

"Wait! Wake up! Something's wrong! Someone's playing tricks!"

Seeing Lina's unusual behavior, Li Ming immediately woke up. He shook Lina a few times, but she was still drowsy. So he picked up the tea and splashed it on her face.

"What are you doing?" Lina snapped out of her daze, then realized something was wrong and quickly cast a [Clarity Spell] on herself and Li Ming.

"Quickly check the room, we've been ambushed!"

The two searched the room and found that the "sleep-inducing array" in the room had been activated at some point.

It was under the continuous effect of this magic array that the two almost fell asleep.

Lina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It probably turned on accidentally. I'll turn it off first!"

"Wait!" Li Ming quickly stopped him. "Something's not right. Something's not right today. There are too many coincidences."

"Today, Arya delivered materials to the cult, and then Captain Fenrir received Station Chief Dominic's information and began to verify it."

"The 'Sleep Aid Array' in our room also inexplicably turned on. I remember clearly that neither of us touched the array switch, so it must have turned on by itself. It couldn't just be a malfunction today, could it?"

After hearing his analysis, Lina also felt that something was wrong. "You're right, but who would know we were in this room? We were all wearing makeup when we rented the place."

Li Ming agreed, but he still cautiously said, "Don't rush. You stay in the room and look at the map. I'll go out and take a look. It would be best if it was an accident."

The rooms at Xinglin Residence are very well soundproofed, making it difficult to hear outside noises from inside.

But when he cautiously opened the door and stepped into the hallway, he realized something was wrong.

The residents of Starscale Residence are of all races, including nocturnal races, so there are always people walking in the corridors at any time, and occasionally there is a noisy commotion.

But now there's no sound at all.

He gently rang his neighbor's doorbell, but no one answered.

I went down a few more floors, but the corridors on each floor were completely empty.

"No, it's not completely empty!"

He discovered a figure lying on the ground at the end of the corridor on the 17th floor.

Li Ming quickly ran over to check.

Then I saw an open door and a human, reeking of alcohol, fast asleep in the doorway.

Upon entering, one could see a man and a woman sleeping in bed, with the [Sleep Aid Array] in the room also activated.

It seems that the man who was lying by the door had just opened the door and was about to enter the room when he was hypnotized by the [Sleep Aid Array] inside the room and the alcohol in his body.

As for the two people inside the room, judging from the situation, they probably won't activate the [Sleep Array] on their own initiative.

"Damn, there really is something wrong here."

Li Ming hurried back to his room. As soon as he entered, Lina called out anxiously, "Li Ming, that pile of materials has already entered Dragon's Breath Town, and it looks like it's heading this way."

"It must be here."

He recounted his findings, and both of them confirmed that the Star Scale Residence was a key stronghold of the cult.

"Let's go downstairs and block them! If they start the sacrificial ceremony here, all the residents in this building will suffer."

Lina was anxiously about to rush downstairs.

Even if it alerts the enemy?

"I'll take responsibility for whatever happens!" Lina was bursting with a sense of justice. Although she had only stayed for a few days, she had already made several friends at Star Scale Residence.

Looking at her like this, Li Ming suddenly wondered if there was something wrong with his actions, and finally he let out a long sigh.

"Here's what we'll do. I'll go down and follow them, and you stay up here to coordinate. We'll keep in touch, and if anything seems amiss, just let Captain Fenrir know."

Lina naturally wouldn't let a second-tier warrior take such a risk. "No, I'm a third-tier mage, I..."

Li Ming interrupted her, "Stop arguing. My survival skills are pretty good. You need to maintain this magic map, and you also need to contact Fenrir."

"Moreover, even if something unexpected happens, I can retreat in time."

As he spoke, Li Ming used the [Domination Helmet] to control the little bird sleeping on the tree branch outside the window, causing it to fly into the room.

He then used a teleportation scroll on it, and 3 seconds later, he appeared out of thin air next to the bird.
