Sword and Magic and Taxi

Walking on a busy street, it would look too suspicious to just wander around and look around. After receiving some glances that were temporarily curious but could turn into suspicion at any time, Satiri recalled the skills of spies buried deep in her memory.

She took some money and turned back to the butcher's shop on the roadside. After a while, she came out with several rattan baskets, which contained pieces of raw and cooked meat, a few bottles of the cheapest drinks, and a few pieces of unknown origin. Bread made from plant starch was given to several people in the team. So in this way, they look like a team delivering meals to a certain person or place, and they no longer attract attention.

This thing seems to be the meat of some kind of bird. It tastes okay, but it has turkey-like cartilage and is prone to tooth decay.

Satiri glared at Zhao Mai. But Zhao Mai just smiled and didn't mind the attention at all. He pulled Qiqi to him, tore off strips of meat and stuffed them into her mouth. The latter was already so greedy. You can't blame her. She only ate two lollipops along the way. Although the blue crystal was nutritious, it had no taste. It was the same as Legion bread. The smell of barbecue wafting in the air of Stone Shell City from time to time has long aroused Qiqi's greed.

Don't eat randomly, be careful of diarrhea! Satiri said to her daughter, with more concern in her stern tone.

It's okay! My daughter's digestive ability is the same as mine. Don't forget that she also has the ability of Z-worms. Zhao Mai fondly touched his daughter's head, and then stuffed a large piece of unknown animal into her mouth. Barbecue on the body.

Take it easy! Satiri looked at her daughter worriedly, and then she saw her holding her cheeks with her little hands and working together, quickly cutting, chewing, and swallowing the food in her mouth. Don't make her fat!

As a mother, you can always find something to worry about, and your father can always run around looking for trouble. Just when the two of them were discussing whether a blue and white striped egg should be fried or boiled, Xiaohua tugged on Zhao Mai's clothes, interrupting their imagination. Look at that person, is it him?

Looking along the small index finger, a half-dragon came into view. Although it is much taller than the surrounding lizardmen, it lacks the characteristics of dragon blood. With a relatively thin body, shriveled skin, and loose scales, his nails have many chips, like damaged blades.

This shows that his life is not very good - compared to a half-dragon. Once a half-dragon is born, as long as he is not downgraded to the level of lizard man and as long as his dragon bloodline has the possibility of further improvement, then at least he will have no worries about food and clothing. There are only two things he has to do next in his life, work hard to improve his physical fitness, and work hard to strengthen his physical fitness. The former requires constant polishing of the body to become stronger, more flexible, and more cunning. The latter needs to provide services to the dragon in exchange for dragon blood and renew his own blood.

Of course, there is a third way, which is to take the blood of other half-dragons and use forbidden witchcraft to strengthen one's own strength. This method is extremely inefficient and has never been regarded as a normal way, but more as a punishment. If a half-dragon makes other half-dragons angry, everyone will join forces and draw his blood as snacks. This is a cruel method, which usually means that a half-dragon's long-term training and cultivation are ruined.

Grabak did not do anything wrong to deserve this punishment, he was simply framed and suffered the wrath of the dragon. There is no use trying to reason in front of an angry dragon; it will only be seen as looking down on the dragon's intelligence. Grabak thought he was too smart to make such a mistake. After screaming and enduring the punishment of blood draw and downgrade, he had to find a way to earn back what he had lost.

Just rely on a skull fragment I accidentally discovered.

It's probably him. Zhao Mai squinted his eyes, looked at the sky, the ground and then the half-dragon man. Xiao Hua's observation is correct. The will of the world is paying close attention to that guy, and he has that unique aura of the Black Spectrum - or the smell of the Temple of Nikus. Of course, the main reason is that as soon as I saw him , I really want to strangle him to death, this is my biological intuition.

You also talk about intuition? Duojian smiled, and she shook her shoulders, and the scales on her body swayed.

I learn the advantages from the creatures in the entire multiverse. Women are also creatures, why can't they learn from them? Zhao Mai replied confidently. You guys wait here, I'll touch his bottom.

Before everyone could react, Zhao Mai had already stepped forward, leaving behind him a lot of complaints of Oops, let him get the lead again. Only Qiqi stared at her father with wide eyes, wanting to learn the methods of adventure from his words and deeds. Zhao Mai was completely unaware that his daughter was studying, otherwise he would definitely change to a more orthodox method.

You don't look good, Lord Half-Dragon. My master asked me to express my condolences to you. Zhao Mai bowed slightly and suddenly appeared next to Grabak. Before he was frightened, he immediately said in a low and clear voice: The master asked me to ask if there is anything I can do to help you. She is waiting for my reply.

Her? Grabak looked at Zhao Mai. Obviously, Zhao Mai's scale quality and physical fitness are definitely the best among lizardmen, and they are only one step away from the standards of half-dragons. Moreover, this line is nothing. It is definitely not as big a difference between heaven and earth. Many powerful lizardmen have the ability to directly threaten the lives of half-dragons, and Zhao Mai definitely meets this standard. But who is this lizard man, and why have I never seen him before and have no impression of him at all? Who is your master?

Zhao Mai responded to this question expressionlessly, and then said slowly: For your convenience, you can call me Businessman A.

This sounds like a fake name. Grabak snorted. I don't accept help from unknown sources, nor do I owe favors for no reason. If your master doesn't want to show up, then of course she can continue to remain hidden. I thank her for her kindness, but I choose to refuse.

As you wish. Zhao Mai nodded slightly, turned around and left, without any hesitation. Grabak was stunned for a moment, took half a step forward with his right foot, and then stopped abruptly. His curiosity was aroused, but his vigilance was not suppressed yet. He watched Zhao Mai disappear into the narrow alleys of the slum area, and his heart was suddenly filled with melancholy.

After a while, Zhao Mai and his family reunited at the edge of the Half-Dragon area, sitting on the steps leading to the Dragon King Hall, eating and drinking while looking at the crowd around them. This is a place where offerings are made to the dragons to pray for protection, and it is specially designed to receive various tributes from the lizard people. All tributes must leave a scale of the lizardman, which is a kind of real-name system. In this way, whether you receive a reward or endure your wrath, it will be well documented.

There is another larger Dragon King's Palace in the area where the half-dragons live, and of course it will be more luxurious. Because only tributes that have been screened by the Dragon King's Palace will be finally placed in the Dragon's Cave, the status of the Palace has been invisibly elevated. Zhao Mai is not sure what daily privileges the deacons here have, but the fact that the terrain here is higher than the surrounding areas is obviously related to their status. After seeing many lizardmen sitting on the steps to rest, they followed suit and overlooked half of the city.

We haven't found any more abnormalities in the will of the world yet. It seems that the half-dragon just now is the most suspicious. Xiaohua held her cheek, still concentrating on watching the crowds coming and going in the city.

Xiaohua, relax, don't be so nervous. Zhao Mai said to her: When we made the plan, we set aside about a week of generous time, and then there was a window period of about a month to destroy the shadow dragon. Judging from the current situation of the world's will and black spectrum, things have not progressed to that point yet. In a few hours, I will be able to complete the layout of the Z worm, put the entire planet under surveillance, and start Screening targets. At least for a few hours, you can take a break.

You were very urgent when you set out. We all thought the task was very urgent. Why did you relax when you got here?

While there, the key to the matter is that the Shadow Dragon cannot see with his own eyes what the time slingshot is, so that he cannot immediately learn its secrets. Every transcendent has the ability to prevent time travel, but not everyone Anyone can initiate time travel - time travel is a profound and rare knowledge. We don't think the shadow dragon can learn it in a short time, nor do we think it can quickly complete preparations for time travel again.

Wait a minute, if it was prepared for a long time in the future and then traveled to before the current time, wouldn't it be waiting for you somewhere? Wouldn't you be anxious? Xiaohua asked.

Have you noticed that I have been eating? Zhao Mai raised the corner of his mouth and said: As long as I am full, I am also a person with the strength of a transcendent. Of course, I can prevent someone from time traveling before me. Even the shadow dragon Even if I have this idea, it can't do it. If there are any changes in the timeline or the black spectrum, I will know in advance. Moreover, Ilúvatar taught me a few tricks that can delay travelers approaching this world, and even allow them to They turned to the parallel world. I came prepared!

In other words, if the shadow dragon comes after you, you can do something about it?

The only way to slow him down is to slow him down, and then you must use the time you have bought to try to complete what you originally wanted to do. Zhao Mai said: There have been no black-spectrum detached people in the multiverse before. They only know the original power. What would happen if the Transcendant destroyed the base, so there is actually no credible example to infer... Hey, that guy moved this way. I have to act again and get close to him as soon as possible. I have to find out quickly. What exactly triggers the foot?

Zhao Mai stood up with a whoosh and suddenly disappeared from everyone's eyes. Qiqi's eyes shone, and she silently memorized the three key points of the adventure: Monitor as much as possible, and be sure to deceive and act in full. After a while, Grabak walked past the steps of the Dragon King's Hall, and Zhao Mai lowered his head and walked towards him. Only this time, Zhao Mai held a long object wrapped in animal leather in his arms, and the rope was tied very firmly.

When Grabak saw Zhao Mai, he immediately took a few steps and stopped him on the fourth step. Zhao Mai bowed deeply this time, as cautiously as an ordinary lizard man meeting a half-dragon. Dear sir, what do you do for a living?

You just talked to me and I didn't let you leave. Why did you leave without permission? I still have something to ask you!

Zhao Mai didn't say anything, and suddenly raised his head and stared at Grabak with squinted eyes. He has observed the lizardmen in Stone Shell City and found that this look is often used when two residents of similar status, such as shop owners who are competing for the right to hire craftsmen, often use this look. However, he quickly lowered his head again and pretended as if nothing happened.

What a good acting skill. Satiri commented while sitting on the steps. A group of audience members nodded vigorously, and even Qiqi followed suit without knowing why. Among us, who was the first to be deceived?

It should be me, but I don't have direct memory of that period, I just heard about it. By the way, according to Zhao Mai, you should be there too. Dogian turned his head and looked at Satiri. She was talking about the past in Tire City, when Zhao Mai escaped from the slave pit and met Satiri on the first night.

Well... maybe it's earlier. Zhao Mai once deceived Druid. It can't be said that he lied. He just concealed part of the facts. Xiaohua also said: I'm not too clear about that matter. At that time, I was still It has not produced an independent personality, it is still a branch of the tree of realization, with only vague emotional memories and no specific process.”

Don't learn this from your father. Satiri said to Qiqi.

Zhao Mai always says that his brain is not strong enough, but if anyone really believes this, he will almost fall into his trap. Even if the middle part of his skull is not enough, aren't there still thousands of brain worms to help him think? Taking a step back, camouflage, deception, and misdirection are also very common abilities in nature. Many creatures survive in the cruel selection of survival of the fittest by developing these abilities. Z-worms have always adhered to this routine, and the Lianlian Alliance still has the impression that Z-worms are gardeners of the universe, harmless to humans and animals. This is the biggest deception.

Zhao Mai, who is well versed in this, used a series of small actions to create the illusion that the master he was acting as did exist, and he had objections to the master's attempt to help Grabak. At least he looked down upon it now. The Decline of Grabak. As a result, he successfully left two relatively complete character settings in Grabak's impression. Next, Clarkak can follow the character settings and make up his own mind to help Zhao Mai, an outsider, deceive himself.

Your master... I thought about it, and I should thank your master again. Grabak gritted his teeth secretly, and then said: I wonder if I will have a chance if I make another choice now?

Fortunately it's not too late. Zhao Mai took half a step back and opened the leather in his hand. Inside was a mithril pillar, which looked like a silver dragon-headed cane. The dragon will love this mineral. It's yours.

Wait a minute, did you want to donate this thing to the Dragon King's Palace before?

Seeing Grabak's in-tune thinking (self-deception), Zhao Mai immediately grabbed a piece of leather and crushed it in the palm of his hand. His behavior of neither admitting nor denying but clearly concealing it actually confirmed Grabak's suspicion and immediately gave him a sense of intellectual pleasure. Since you accepted this thing, you still need to leave some evidence. The master said that you should write a few words on the leather so that she can keep it.

Zhao Mai tore off another piece of leather and handed it to him, looking at Grabak writing on it, Thank you for helping me, I owe you, Grabak.

After lying to him for a long time, he gained his trust, but only then did Zhao Mai know this guy's name.
