[Remarks: Dragons have reverse scales, which will cause anger if touched. Excessive qi damages the body, mainly in the liver and spleen. If the liver and spleen are not in harmony, then... first make up for the overdraft of the kidneys! Be it liver, spleen, heart or lungs, as long as the kidneys are good, no matter how great the flood is!
——Hippocrates Wellington, Green Dragon Potion Master】
It is conceivable that the innate reproductive ability has indeed brought a lot of troubles to the dragon clan, so much so that the pharmacists, alchemists and scholars who are famous in the history of these powerful creatures are extremely partial to their research projects. The focus is not very serious in the eyes of other races.
Of course, this remark is not the focus of Mo Tan's concern...
What he really cares about is the 'scale reversal' effect, which can make the dragon's bloodline invisible as a side effect!
Except for the normal side effects of activating a big move such as 'attribute reduction', it does not seem difficult to accept that the dragon's bloodline is recessive and all dragon characteristics are lost. After all, for most players, this is just It just makes them temporarily lose some bonuses. Take 'Mo', a human/Thunder Dragon hybrid character, for example, it means that some basic physical fitness and strength are slightly reduced, plus there is no way to use the dragon tail to attack and activate the thunder scale talent. Look. There is not much loss at all, and it can be said to be quite cost-effective compared with the powerful and cool gain effect when this skill is activated!
But...
but! For Mo Tan, things are not that simple!
[Inverse Scale] This talent was accidentally learned when he watched Fimiguel teach Ya Ya and Lu Jiang dragon language magic at Xiaolong Peak in Tianzhu Mountain, but at the first sight, he could see that 'Inverse Scale' Mo Tan didn't directly say that something was wrong with the effect. Instead, he quietly tried it out when no one was around.
Fortunately he kept an eye out!
I won’t talk about the effect of [Scale Reverse] in the state. The buffs activated outside the dragon form are also clearly listed in the description. The problem lies in the [Scale Reverse] effect after the fifteen minutes of real men. ...
It did not go beyond Mo Tan’s expectations. The moment the [Reverse Scale] state ended, he fell to the ground with wings on his back, lightning flashing, and his body covered with scales. Then he discovered I began to shed my skin in a burst of pain that was not too real! No, strictly speaking, it’s scale loss!
As the hair (crossed out) with bloodshot roots fell off in large areas, and the two dragon horns on the forehead shrank into a pair of jelly-like objects and fell off, in just a few minutes, except for the one that also lost its scales, , except for the tail that looked like a gecko but was not broken at all, all the characteristics of the dragonborn in his body disappeared. Not only did his body become clean, but his head even shrank a lot, turning into a completely ' Human', not a half-dragon with thunder dragon blood.
The talent description of [Reverse Scale] is completely true. In the next six hours, all the dragon characteristics in him really disappeared. The strange itch of speech grew back, and the scaly dragon horns gradually returned to normal. Previously, the race column in the character panel clearly stated: Human (hidden Thunder Dragon bloodline). Mo Tan thought that he simply could not go back. .
Looking at it this way, this skill seems to be quite worthwhile...
Although it has a six-hour weakness period, it can be used as a killer and life-saving move at critical moments. Compared with other racial professions, the advantages are very obvious, especially for players. If a real man can't kill the opponent or force himself out of the battle in fifteen minutes with [Reverse Scale], then he will not die seriously at all. Injustice, the value is more than ninety times higher than the [Escape] skill of the character 'Tan Mo'!
But Mo Tan really doesn’t dare to use this skill...
The reason is very simple. He who temporarily lost the dragon bloodline in the 'Scale Reverse' state is absolutely a human being!
Mo Tan outside the game and Hei Fan inside the game are also individuals, human beings!
They look so much alike!
Although the words half-dragon include dragon and human, the difference between this race and dragon can almost be said to be species. At least until they grow up to be able to transform into dragons, they can be regarded as two completely different species. Different creatures, but the difference between this race and humans is not big. Whether the 'person' refers to humans, elves, dwarves or dwarves, the difference is only in the dragon scales, dragon tails, dragon horns and skeletons. It's a little bit bigger on such minutiae.
Of course, these details are quite obvious. To give a simple example, a pair of twins should look exactly the same, if one of them is half-dragon and the other is not (there are indeed examples, half-dragon The heritability rate of bloodline is not 100%), then the difference in appearance between the two will become very big, just like the difference before and after a fair young man riding a motorcycle to XZ, even his own mother may not be able to recognize it. .
Ji Xiaoge, who is also a player and is quite familiar with her in real life, is naturally not Mo Tan's biological mother, so it is normal for her not to recognize Mo Tan in the half-dragon state.
But if the latter activates [Reverse Scale] and temporarily changes from a half-dragon to a 'human' after fifteen minutes, he will almost 100% be recognized as 90% similar to the real Mo Tan. come out!
It will be completely unexplainable by then!
That’s why he doesn’t want Ji Xiaoge, who is also a player, to know about this at this stage, because Mo Tan originally had the intention of transforming into a reckless person when he was completely helpless. If he had the trump card With all their efforts, coupled with the active resistance of the orcs who did not seem to have been overly abused, they might actually be able to create a chance to escape.
But if they act together, with Ji Xiaoge by their side, this trick will basically be useless.
As for other reasons, it is not without them, such as...
"Ahem, I mainly want you to take the time to monitor them."
Mo Tan coughed dryly and used his persuasive power. With limited alternative reasons, he shrugged and said: "If you have subjective emotions, it is very likely to be noticed by those people, and it will be troublesome if you make them wary."
Although the persuasiveness is indeed limited , but this reason is quite reasonable.
“Well, that’s true.”
Ji Xiaoge, who was not very angry at first, softened his expression, held his chin and muttered: "I do tend to be impulsive sometimes..."
Mo Tan smiled and stood up on his knees. : "It's okay. I've already said it anyway. Let's figure it out together. I plan to go to the Adventurer's Guild first. Do you want to come together?"
Ji Xiaoge was stunned. After a moment, his eyes lit up: "Adventurers Guild? Are you going to issue a mission to deal with those bastards?"
"All of us combined cannot afford such a mission."
< br>Mo Tan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If the remuneration is too low, it will only alert the enemy, and you may even be caught by the other party."
Ji Xiaoge nodded, stretched his body lazily, and the pair of snow-white wings on his back also raised high, in Mo Tan's eyes, it was like sailing...
"What is sailing? I Not a boat!”
The winged girl rushes Mo Tan bared his teeth and walked out of the room first. He turned around and said with a smile: "Since you have a plan, I will accompany you."
Fifteen minutes later
Anka Market, Adventurer's Guild 1st Floor Hall
Chris, who was dozing off behind the counter, raised his head in a daze, glanced at Mo Tan with a yawn, and asked angrily: "What trouble is going on again? I'll tell you about the blacklist!"< br>
"Good morning, Miss Chris." Mo Tan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, nothing happened."
The young lady nodded and lay back down again. , and then stretch Pointing to the door with his little finger: "Then get lost and prepare for the security mission at night." Obviously, this staff member has no desire to work at all...
Standing beside Mo Tan Ji Xiaoge next to her flapped her wings, held Chris's hand with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Well, we have something very important that we want to talk to sister about."
Chris lazily raised his eyelids, rubbing his long hair that looked a little messy due to poor sleeping condition, grabbing the back of Ji Xiaoge's hand and rubbing it on his cheek: "Huh?"
Mo Tan looked around at the bustling rookie adventurers seemingly casually, and whispered: "It's not very convenient here..."
"Okay, for the sake of Sister Yege."< br>
Chris stood up weakly and glanced back at Mo Tan: "The reception room is 1 silver coin per hour, and the price for beautiful ladies is doubled. Come with me."
Then he went about his own business. Ji Xiaoge walked upstairs.
[Alas, although she is indeed a beauty...]
Looking at the back of Miss Chris, Mo Tan sighed heartbrokenly, suddenly remembering his wealth when he was 'Tan Mo'.
Five minutes later
Adventurer’s Guild Level 3, Cubicle No. 3
“Sit anywhere you want.”
Chris raised his chin towards the bench in the cubicle that could barely accommodate two people, put a glass of water in front of Mo Tan, then turned his head and asked Ji Xiaoge with a smile: "What do you want to drink? Is there sweet tea? You can choose bitter coffee. "
[Coffee...]
Mo Tan pursed his lips subconsciously, glanced at the water in front of him with a dumbfounded look, and sighed.
Ji Xiaoge tilted his head: "I want to drink coffee~"
"Wait a moment."
Chris nodded briskly, walked to the small cabinet in the corner of the room, and started tinkering with it.
Because the young lady is quite talented in magic, in less than half a minute, two cups of fragrant and bitter coffee were freshly baked.
"Okay, what's going on."
Chris placed the coffee in front of Ji Xiaoge, sat across from the two of them, crossed his legs and said unceremoniously He said to Mo Tan: "It's best to finish it within ten minutes. The remaining time is just enough for me to catch up on my sleep."
Mo Tan didn't waste any time and said straight to the point: "Not long ago I was in A suspicious team was seen at the door of the Razzie Auction House..."
"There are dozens or hundreds of suspicious teams here every day."
Chris interrupted him casually and curled his lips: "Anka Market is a pure trading place, engaged in smuggling and selling dirty goods. There are money launderers and everything. As long as they don't break the rules, who will care about them?"
Mo Tan sighed and was silent for a few seconds before slowly asking: "So, slave trading. Is this kind of thing considered a bad rule?"
Ji Xiaoge held the coffee in his hand and looked at Chris nervously with a sullen face.
“Trading slaves?”
Chris raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Of course it's a bad rule. Although human life is not valuable at all these days, the slave trade was banned a long time ago, and because of a certain time in the past, Forces that ended inexplicably are especially taboo in the Northwest Continent, but they are free these days. That damn place in the capital won’t care about such things.”
Ji Xiaoge suddenly smiled with relief and said excitedly: “Sister Chris, what Mo and I saw were ‘suspicious’. The person must be the slave trader. He saw with his own eyes two carriages filled with imprisoned orcs."
As a result, Chris nodded very calmly: "Then?"
Ji Xiaoge was stunned: "Then?"
"Those slaves There should be quite a few Fire Claws from the Violet Empire. I heard this from a friend before. Friends have mentioned that those poor people were secretly captured by the slave-catching group under the Marshall family." Mo Tan frowned and said solemnly: "The organization escorting the slaves this time should be the underground chamber of commerce 'Viper'. I can provide some evidence to prove that they violated the rules..."
"Broken the rules?"
Chris shook his head and shrugged: "No, they did not violate the rules."
Ji Xiaoge's eyes widened: "Why? ..."
"I said that 'the slave trade was banned a long time ago', but the question is, do they sell slaves here?"
"But..."
"If not, it's not a violation of the rules. Sister Yege, this place is not as sweet as you think~"
