He instinctively pressed his back against the sofa, looking at the pendant on the table with suspicion.
He didn't think so at first, but the more he looks at it, the more eerie it seems.
He looked at Liu Sheng again, wondering how this guy knew these things.
Did he actually dig something out of the ground?
Or is there something wrong with the research institution he went to after leaving his job?
For a moment, Professor Liang felt that his old colleagues had become strangers.
Liu Sheng looked up slightly, gazed at the sky, remained silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "Where did it originally come from?"
Sir Charles stammered, "Perhaps he bought it from someone else; it's been too long..."
“I want to hear the truth, Sir Charles!” Liu Sheng said sternly.
“I’m sorry,” Charles hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, “I only know that it may have come from Great Xia.”
"Is it just a possibility?" a voice suddenly asked.
……
Chapter 110 Dragon Scales and the Spirit Water Spell
Bai Lin originally didn't want to show himself, but he was so annoyed by this dawdling guy that he had no choice but to speak up.
If this guy's soul weren't so fragile, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment, he would have wanted to use the Soul Searching Technique directly.
Sir Charles turned his head at the sound.
Sitting opposite him, Liang Shangwu had already seen the dragon behind him and was so shocked he almost jumped up.
"A dragon!" he exclaimed in disbelief.
Liu Sheng stood up and said apologetically, "Mr. Bai!"
He felt this was his dereliction of duty.
If they had gotten the information earlier, they wouldn't have had to ask Bai Long personally.
He wasn't surprised that Bai Long could speak foreign languages.
As a mythical creature, the White Dragon must be all-knowing!
Sir Charles stared in disbelief at the enormous dragon head that slowly emerged from the mist.
The white, jade-like dragon scales contrasted sharply with the dark pendant on the table, and the menacing dragon horns made his legs even weaker.
Having searched for ancient artifacts over the years and possessing an intimate knowledge of the myths and legends of the Great Xia Dynasty, he naturally recognized this as an Eastern dragon.
A talking Eastern dragon!
In a flash, he realized he had stumbled upon a true lifeline.
His body trembled with intense excitement.
"Great dragon, thank you for your generous descent..."
"Explain its origins!" Bai Lin's tone left no room for argument.
Sir Charles dared not conceal anything and quickly recounted all the information he knew about the pendant.
"It came from my great-grandfather..."
“My great-grandfather was an explorer. At the beginning of the last century, he went to Bactria and bought many treasures in that ancient and magical Eastern country…”
Hearing his words, Liu Sheng's eyes flashed with disdain. He thought to himself, what kind of explorer is he? He's just a fraudster and a bandit.
"He obtained this item during his exploration in the western part of the Great Xia Dynasty. At the time, he and his crew were camping in a river valley when they were suddenly summoned. One of them ventured deep into the valley and found it, along with a lot of gold and ancient coins. My great-grandfather believed it to be a gift from the gods..."
Sir Charles's voice held a hint of excitement: "My great-grandfather took it and found his companions alone amidst a pack of wolves and bears. After that, everything went smoothly for him. Even when he encountered many disasters, he remained unharmed. That haul made him famous, and upon returning home, the King made him a viscount. But later, he discovered that it contained misfortune..."
Liu Sheng and Liang Shangwu were listening intently when Bai Lin interrupted them, asking, "Where did he find it?"
“In a valley near the Kunlun Mountains in western Great Xia,” Sir Charles said.
"A more specific location," Bai Lin asked patiently.
Charles shook his head: "He burned all the manuscripts before he died, locked them in a box, and forbade his great-grandfather from getting close to them."
"But on his deathbed, he opened the box again and held it in his arms," Sir Charles said. "All the news was passed down by word of mouth."
Bai Lin stared into the distance.
His eyes seemed to contain two swirling vortexes, making Sir Charles's gaze appear empty and blank.
A second later, Bai Lin looked away.
He was somewhat disappointed to find that the guy hadn't lied.
However, being able to see this dragon scale by chance and learn its approximate location was already an unexpected delight.
Bai Lin quickly composed himself, and with a thought, he put away the dragon scale ornament on the table.
As his figure gradually faded from view, Sir Charles panicked and hurriedly said, "Lord Dragon, please save me!"
"You're saved," Bai Lin's voice came.
His figure disappeared from Charles's sight.
Liu Sheng, however, could clearly see the white dragon that was faintly visible in the mist before him.
Liang Shangwu was also able to see it.
Seeing Bai Lin walk out, he reacted even faster than Liu Sheng and strode after him.
Sir Charles knelt there in a daze, suddenly realizing that the anxiety, exhaustion, and gloom in his heart had all vanished without a trace.
His face lit up with ecstatic joy.
Just as he got up, he suddenly felt a strong thirst in his stomach and called to the maid to get him some water.
……
Liu Sheng has returned to the street outside.
Liang Shangwu followed closely behind him, staring in awe at the faintly visible white dragon, his face filled with ecstasy and excitement.
He never expected that he would encounter a dragon!
Was my former colleague working for a one-stop service company?
He wanted to say something, but he was worried that saying the wrong thing would displease the dragon.
Liu Sheng, however, couldn't help but look up and ask, "Mr. Bai, is that black ornament a dragon scale?"
Bai Lin glanced at him in surprise: "You guessed it?"
"It can't be anything ordinary that could attract Mr. Bai's attention, and its shape..." He glanced at Bai Lin's dragon claw as he spoke, but didn't dare to continue.
Bai Lin nodded and said nothing more.
That thing is not only a dragon scale, but it's from a mature dragon.
He had just dealt with that black dragon not long ago.
When Bai Lin first saw its tail, he wondered how to find the other parts of its body, but he didn't expect to find a clue so quickly.
Listening to the conversation between the man and the dragon, Liang Shangwu mustered his courage and said, "Mr. Bai looks holy and noble, with the appearance of a holy dragon. That black dragon scale is full of evil, and it looks like an evil black dragon."
Liu Sheng, fearing that his old colleague might say something wrong, added, "Perhaps Black Dragon couldn't stand these foreign bandits stealing and plundering on our Great Xia territory, so he punished them?"
Seeing Bai Lin looking at Liang Shangwu, he introduced, "Mr. Bai, this is my former colleague. He is an expert in dinosaur fossils."
Liang Shangwu was excited and subconsciously wanted to shake hands, but then felt it was inappropriate, so he raised his hand and gave a Young Pioneer salute.
"It's evil because it's a demonic dragon controlled by demonic energy," Bai Lin said calmly.
Liu Sheng and Liang Shangwu both widened their eyes, feeling that they had learned something new.
"Could it be that the dragon's consciousness is hidden in that dragon scale?" Liu Sheng asked. "That's why the Charles family died young?"
"He said that every time they were lost, they would return to him. Could it be because the demonic dragon had identified them and was absorbing their souls?" Liang Shangwu's imagination ran wild.
He enjoys reading novels and is a loyal user of Qidian.com.
"It only contains a trace of demonic energy," Bai Lin said.
The core of the sealing formation is to prevent the dragon's soul from escaping.
Even if a wisp of its dragon soul were to emerge, it would have already possessed someone else and broken the seal from the outside.
"Demonic energy?" Liu Sheng asked in surprise.
“Demonic energy can drive those who come into contact with it to madness, chaos, and depravity…” Bai Lin said, “but it is ultimately a supernatural thing, and it has an infinite attraction for mortals.”
Liu Sheng and Liang Shangwu looked at each other in bewilderment.
Suddenly recalling some rumors, Liang Shangwu said, "I've heard that Sir Charles was very depraved in his youth. There are rumors that he imprisoned women and even ate people..."
Seeing Liu Sheng's wide-eyed, incredulous expression, Liang Shangwu said, "This kind of thing isn't uncommon in their upper circles, but he acted very politely, so I thought it was just a rumor."
“Of course,” he said, looking at Bai Lin. “Since Mr. Bai mentioned the influence of demonic energy, then these things must be true!”
He suddenly realized something, slapped his forehead, and said, "So it's possible that he really did lose that dragon scale, but in the end, he found it himself, right? He couldn't control his desires?"
“He must have some mental issues, maybe he doesn’t even know it himself!” he asserted.
Bai Lin nodded.
Liang Shangwu clenched his fist excitedly.
He was happy not only because he had guessed correctly, but also because of Bai Long's approval.
This is a talking white dragon! To gain its favor would be like ascending to heaven in one step.
Liu Sheng said sourly, "Professor Liang really knows a lot. He even knows that these foreigners eat people?"
Liang Shangwu laughed and said, "We dinosaur researchers are different from you researchers who study pre-Qin history. We often cooperate with foreign countries, and I hear a lot of things from those foreign experts we cooperate with."
“Mr. Bai shouldn’t have saved this inhuman bastard!” Liu Sheng said. “Besides, he’s a descendant of bandits!”
Fearing that his words might displease Bai Lin, he added, "Mr. Bai is kind-hearted; saving him is already a good deal for him."
save?
Bai Lin looked ahead without saying a word.
Charles was deeply corrupted by demonic energy; his soul was like a piece of scrap paper, easily scattered with a breath.
In this situation, it is very difficult to treat him, but it is very simple to relieve his pain.
There is a spell called "Spirit Water Spell," also known as "Pain Relief Spell."
It can suppress most physical and even spiritual pain, at the cost of just a glass of water.
If it is not relieved in time, it will take ten breaths to drink a cup.
Sir Charles had already drunk his sixteenth cup of water.
His belly was swollen like a drum, but his face showed an unprecedented calm and enjoyment.
The butler stood by, trying to dissuade him from drinking water poisoning if things continued this way, but saw his face suddenly change and he mumble incoherently, "Water, I need water, give me water now!"
……
Chapter 111 Girl Island
Standing in front of the Da Ying Museum, Liang Shangwu suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask the purpose of his trip.
But seeing the white dragon appearing and disappearing in the clouds, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
If I find out their true purpose, what right do I have to stay here?
It's better to play dumb for now!
Liu Sheng, who was standing to the side, seemed to have guessed his thoughts. He glanced at him and then said, "Mr. Bai, this is the Da Ying Museum. There is a very secure work area inside the museum where the Liangzhu jade artifact is located."
Ancient jade artifacts from the Liangzhu period?
Liang Shangwu was secretly curious.
He quickly caught up with Liu Sheng.
