Part-time BOSS

Early the next morning, Murphy set off with his troops.

The target is clearly the Dragon Feast Land at Tongtian Peak.

After walking for a whole morning, we finally arrived at the snake-man ruins near Tongtian Peak.

However, what surprised him was that there were already people here, and there were quite a lot of them. There was a large camp spread out in the open space of the snake-man ruins, and it looked like there must be more than a hundred people there.

The flag of the Explorers Association was flying over the camp. In addition, there was a strange but familiar flag, a variant logo with a capital L.

Damn it, why are these tomb robbers here again? Hey, which unit’s flag is that?

L? Could it be Lordaeron? These people are here anyway.

He felt a little unhappy. He originally thought that he could just go up the mountain to finish the dragon meal without being disturbed. It seemed that he still had to have some contact with it now.

The soldiers in the camp also noticed the existence of his unit and immediately went on guard. Murphy also ordered a battle formation. Although it was unlikely to start a fight, necessary precautions were still necessary.

It wasn't until the person in charge in the camp showed up, met with Murphy, and revealed their identities to each other that both parties relaxed.

The people who came were indeed people from Lordaeron - and the archaeologists from the Explorers Association.

The human in front of him was dressed as a scholar, wearing a loose bachelor's robe, and wearing a single-sided spectacles. At first glance, he looked like an aristocratic scholar with a high status.

Orgad (Erudition): "Oh, you must be Prince Aidan. I heard Muradin mention you, but I didn't expect that you are still here. I am Orgad Borax, the court of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Scholar, this is Tianxiu Menethil, the swordsman of the court of Lordaeron. He is also the guard captain of this team. It is an honor to meet you, Prince Aidan of Alterac."

Tianxiu? This name sounds like a player, but since the surname is Menethil, he should be a member of the royal family, right? Why is he just a guard captain? He didn't even have the title of prince, which was a bit strange. Murphy glanced at the man. Tianxiu was a second-level bronze hero. He wore a gorgeous knight's breastplate on his upper body and a blue cape on the outside. But his lower body was Wearing aristocratic trousers, no helmet, long flowing hair, and a sword hanging on his waist, it was hard to tell what his occupation was.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "I am also very happy to meet you, Scholar Ogad and Your Excellency Tianxiu. Is there anything particularly important about your appearance in the land of Alterac?"

Orgad (Erudition): "Of course not, we are just here to investigate. I heard Muradin tell the story about the snake-man ruins in Lordaeron. I am very interested in this strange creature, so I hurried here. I had to conduct an on-the-spot investigation, and I have to say that I gained a lot - let’s go in and talk about it later.”

He said and made a gesture of invitation.

Murphy asked Roland to take the people to find a place to rest, and followed the two people into the camp. It could be seen that this archaeological team was truly professionals. It was completely different from the archaeological methods of the dwarves. They were very meticulous. The snake people The items are arranged one by one, marked with their uses. Some scholars are still using small brushes to search for new relics from the ruins. Every discovery can attract a burst of cheers.

They are not limited to gold, silver and gemstones - in fact, after Muradin's excavations, there was basically nothing left of this kind of stuff.

The archaeological team focused more on the daily necessities, sacrificial props, and weapons of the snake people, especially the stone slabs with murals and carvings. They were particularly concerned.

Of course, Ogad does not need to do these tasks himself. As a university scholar, the hard work will naturally be done by his subordinates. He only supervises and guides, while drinking hot tea and enjoying the beauty of Alterac. The wonderful feeling of the cold wind and the warmth of the campfire.

When the three of them arrived at the campfire, the attendants immediately brought hot beer and barbecue, just in time for the meal.

Mo Fei was not polite. After walking all morning, his fatigue level just needed to recover. He could still inquire about some news while eating. He had already become accustomed to the benefits brought by his status as a prince. He ate and drank calmly and sat beside the campfire. There is a young scholar named Hopps, who is also a noble.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Master Ogad, have you found any results from your research? Where did these snake people come from?"

He asked casually, but he didn't expect that Ogad actually had an answer.

Ogad (Erudition): "According to my research, the snake people here are likely to be the descendants of the Dragon Eater."

Mo Fei was startled and asked, "How do you know about Dragon Eater?" But he pretended to be at a loss, "Dragon Eater, what is that?"

"Ha, it's no wonder that Prince Aidan is unfamiliar with this term. In fact, Dragon Eater appeared very long ago and has long since disappeared in the long river of history, so that many people doubt whether it really exists, and Or it may just be a ridiculous legend fabricated by bards, but according to my research, the Dragon Eater does exist and was once prosperous. It was a tragic hero brought by the times, but it was also abandoned by the times."

"In the ancient dark era, human beings at that time had not yet given birth to a country. Instead, they were divided into different tribes distributed across the vast eastern continent. The world was ruled by giant dragons. They were spread throughout the entire world, ruling the sky and the earth. and ocean.

In the eyes of the Dragon Clan, humans are just a weak race like animals, prey that can be devoured at will. "

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "What, there is such a thing, these savage beasts!"

Ogad (Erudition): "Barbaric? Maybe, but in the eyes of dragons, humans are inferior creatures like animals. Would you feel guilty for killing a cow or a sheep? Do you think so? Yes, so in the eyes of the Dragon Clan, cannibalism is not really an evil or barbaric act. At most, it is just a unique taste. This has lasted for thousands of years.

Humanity was once almost extinct, but whenever faced with crises and desperate situations, there were always warriors among humans who stood up to save the world. For thousands of years, there were always powerful warriors in human tribes who tried to fight those dragons, despite suffering heavy losses. casualties, but there are still occasional people who successfully slay dragons, and some ancient legends are also born. They fight against giant dragons, kill evil dragons, and save their compatriots in desperate situations. It is in this case that the Dragon Feast Ceremony was born. .

The original origin of the Dragon Feast Ceremony cannot be verified, but according to my speculation, it is likely to be some kind of act to vent anger, but it is more likely to be due to some primitive hunting traditions of human beings. Human beings have believed in devouring food since ancient times. The beast's heart can gain its power.

And what beast can compare to the dragon? "

So those powerful warriors devoured the dragon's heart, hoping to gain the dragon's power and help them protect mankind. The reality was exactly what they expected, and some people really mastered more powerful power. It becomes more and more powerful, and can even fight the dragon head-on.

The group of dragon eaters gradually grew from this. "

Murphy was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't know that there was such a story behind the Dragon Feast Ceremony.

At this time, the player named Tianxiu suddenly interrupted.

Tianxiu Menethil (Court Swordsman): "Wait a minute, I think there is a question here. If the way to obtain power is so simple, why are there no Dragon Eaters now? If all it takes is swallowing the heart of a giant dragon. To gain strength, there should be many such people, but I have never heard of such a thing.”

Murphy glanced at the man and thought to himself, does this guy also want to gain the power of Dragon Feast? Most likely, there is no player who can't be tempted by the temptation of power.

It's a pity that you don't have the quest items, so you can't get in when you get to the door, hehe.
