Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

"Considering that you were just a refugee before and don't know anything about dragon blood, I'll explain it to you simply."

"Dragon blood is a bloodline that, once awakened, has extremely high requirements and can backfire on its master."

"Once this bloodline is activated, it will continuously absorb 'special nutrients' to supply itself. As time goes by, people with dragon blood will gradually awaken the dragon's will within their bloodline and slowly transform into humanoid dragons."

"If you learn the Druid's Transmutation spell and your skill level is high enough, you can even transform into a dragon."

"However, such powerful abilities naturally come at a price!"

Lina shook the purple-tinged solution in the beaker, then turned her gaze to Lynn:

"The nutrients required by the bloodline of dragons are very special."

"What nutrients?" Lynn asked with a serious expression.

When it came to his own life, Lynn naturally became serious.

He could be content with not living to 120, because that was common knowledge he knew before he transmigrated, and he even benefited from it. But if you said he wouldn't live past 40, Lynn wouldn't be happy.

That's considered a premature death!

"You really don't know anything!"

Lina looked at Lynn with surprise and curiosity:

"Knowing nothing, yet able to activate dragon blood, and even using impurities to activate it, and yet there were no adverse reactions on his body."

"Could it be that ignorance can increase the survival rate?"

Upon hearing these words, Lynn immediately thought of the face on Jack's stomach.

Is the so-called adverse reaction referring to that kind of thing?

At this moment, Xia, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, crossed her legs, propped her chin on one hand, and said lazily:

"This indicates that he adapts very well to dragon blood, and it's even possible that he originally possessed powerful red dragon blood!"

"That's why they showed such remarkable adaptability to the Knightworth family's dragon blood."

Lina immediately understood what Sia meant: "So, you mean, possibly members of the Nightworka tribe who have been living in exile?"

"No wonder the elders of the Knightworth family immediately instructed him to take over Lynn's resources after you reported this matter. So they suspect he is a descendant of one of your elders who has been separated from his family?"

This is not impossible.

The Red Dragon bloodline inherited by the Knightvoka family is a rather licentious bloodline. Some high-level adventurers, once aroused, might actually find someone in the wild to have sex with.

It's even possible that they're not looking for a person at all.

Under these circumstances, it's not entirely impossible for a high-level dragon blood descendant to spawn among the refugees outside Mona City.

So that's what you all think?

Lynn felt a strange mix of emotions upon hearing this, because he knew that his adaptation to the dragon blood did not come from himself, but from his skill system.

However, Lynn obviously couldn't reveal this secret.

Moreover, compared to the Knightworth family's misunderstanding that he was an illegitimate child, Lynn was more concerned about the price of the dragon blood.

So, without hesitation, he approached Lina and asked:

"Doctor, is there any hope for me?"

"Then it depends on your talent!"

Lina then added another medicine to the beaker, and sighed, saying:

"As I just mentioned, dragon blood requires a special kind of nutrient."

"And that nutrient is actually the adventurer's 'skill'."

"Skill?" Lynn was stunned when he heard this: "How come this skill is still considered nourishment?"

"Because the dragon is a symbol of 'power'!!"

Sia then said with a smile:

"And skills are the most unique power of an adventurer!"

Lina nodded upon hearing this, and then added:

"In terms of power, humans are no match for dragons."

"Therefore, when beings like dragons reappear in adventurers, adventurers need to use a large number of advanced skills to make up for the gap in power."

"To put it simply, dragon blood needs a massive amount of advanced skills to nourish it."

"Dragon eyes, dragon brain, dragon body, dragon scales... and so on, you need to fill in the special parts of a dragon with a high-level skill."

"Using dragon blood as a furnace and skills as materials, when you can use a large number of skills to support a complete dragon to reappear in the world."

"Then, you are the new demigod-level adventurer, the true 'dragon'!"

As soon as Lina finished speaking, Sia smiled and reminded her:

"That's how the Knightworth family's ancestors came to be."

Lynn paused for a moment, then turned to look at Sia.

At this moment, Sia smiled, put her index finger to her lips, and said:

"It's no big secret!"

"The true primordial dragons were all wiped out a thousand years ago in the war of the gods, led by the dragon god Batum, in that war that ended everything."

"The dragons active in the world today are actually powerful adventurers who inherited dragon blood, used their skills to replicate everything about dragons, and ascended to become demigods!"

Lina nodded, indicating that this was indeed common sense.

“Generally speaking, normal members of the Knightvoka family have 200 years to slowly hone their skills while controlling the degree of bloodline awakening, gradually transforming themselves into dragons.”

"Even so, there are still many losers. Some of the more extreme losers are even devoured by the dragon blood and become mindless dragon beasts."

"The dragons that roam the wilds, grabbing people and disrupting trade routes, are mostly adventurers who have fallen into this situation."

Lynn's face twitched when he heard this. You mean, those dragons that snatch noblewomen and abduct princesses are all mindless adventurers?

Did everything originate from adventurers?

Don't tell me that's how elves came to be!

After hearing Lina's explanation, Lynn finally understood:

"So you mean the reason I won't live past 40 is because I don't have much time left to upgrade my skills?"

"Yes."

Lina nodded, with a look that said, "You finally understand."

"Your time is estimated to be only 20 years. After 20 years, as your body declines, you will likely be gradually consumed by the dragon blood and become a brainless dragon beast."

"This is the greatest harm that impurity from Jacken did to you!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed with admiration:

"It seems things aren't so bad after all!"

"Is there still 20 years left? It's not like we can't give it a shot."

Lina was even more confused now. Why did it sound like Lynn didn't care about this kind of thing?

With his lifespan halved and only 20 years left to save him, how could he remain calm under such circumstances?

Is she really that good-natured?

Lina, filled with doubt, continued preparing the potion:

"You seem quite confident."

Not long after, Lina, having prepared the potion, placed it on the table:

"Alright, the bloodline harmonizing potion is complete. After taking this medicine, the activated dragon blood in his body should be able to return to a stable state. At that time, we can start trying to cultivate his own dragon blood."

After saying this, Lina looked up at Sia opposite her, but calmly said:

"However, I reserve my opinion on his becoming a demigod within 20 years."

“If I were you, I would start right now and let him have healthy children with outstanding women of all races.”

"After all, I've only seen one dragonborn who hasn't been corrupted by the impurities of the original bloodline techniques in all these years."

Hearing this, Sia stroked her chin and looked at Lynn with great interest:

Would you mind having a few more maids?

Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately straightened his face, adopting an air of 'I am mortal enemies with gambling and drugs,' and said righteously:

"Please give me more!"

"Let more of the bad habits of large families seep in!"

Chapter 30: Give me more! Don't be shy about my back!

Lina, who was packing her medicine box, suddenly stopped and looked up at Lynn.

Because she wasn't tall enough, she could only look up to see Lynn's serious face.

"The bad habits of large families?"

Lina muttered something, then rolled her eyes and said:

"I've heard that some red dragons with strong desires will have their skin turn yellow."

"It seems you are that kind of dragon."

Lynn immediately understood what he meant when he heard this.

Is this a sarcastic jab at his lewd and vulgar thoughts?!

"Puhahaha!!"

Xia covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking, but she burst out laughing:

"Lina, you're really joking."

Lina pursed her lips, then looked up at Lynn, put one hand on her hip, and said:

"Hey, why haven't you drunk your medicine yet?"

"The potion will expire in a little while."

Lynn paused for a moment, glanced at Lina who was urging him on, thought for a moment, then reached out, picked up the beaker, and smelled the unknown liquid inside.

Seeing his little gesture, Lina raised an eyebrow, but said with a cold smile:

"Don't even think about it. If I wanted to poison someone, you would never find out."

"Never underestimate a pharmacist's ability to poison."

Lynn chuckled and then downed the potion in one gulp.

After swallowing the strange potion, Lynn smacked his lips and said with a subtle expression:

Watermelon flavor?

"Yes, I adjusted it."

Lina nodded, then casually took out a small hourglass, placed it aside, and began timing.

Seeing this, Lynn's heart skipped a beat, and she said with a strange expression:

What time are you counting?

"The time it takes for the drug to take effect."

Lina calmly said, and then began the countdown:

"It will probably take 4..."

"Four minutes?" Lynn said in surprise.

"3, 2, 1!"

"Damn, it's a countdown timer!!"
