[Note: 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, Grand Master of Green Dragon Pharmacy]

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, the side effect of making the dragon's bloodline invisible!

Apart from 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 invisible and all dragon characteristics are lost. After all, for most players, this only makes them temporarily lose some bonuses. That's it. Take 'Mo', a human/Thunder Dragon hybrid character, for example. It means that some basic physical fitness and strength have been slightly reduced, plus there is no way to use the dragon tail to attack and activate the thunder scale talent. It doesn't seem like a big loss. , compared with the powerful and cool buff effect when this skill is activated, it can be said to be quite cost-effective!

but……

but! For Mo Tan, things are not that simple!

[Reverse Scale] This talent was accidentally learned when he watched Feimiguer teach Ya Ya and Lu Jiang dragon language magic at Xiaolong Peak in Tianzhu Mountain. However, at the first glance, he could tell that there was something wrong with the 'Reverse Scale' effect. Mo Tan didn't say it directly, but quietly tried it out when no one was around.

Fortunately he kept an eye out!

I won’t talk about the effect of [Inverse Scale] in the state. The buffs activated outside the dragon form are also clearly listed in the description. The problem lies in the effect of [Inverse Scale] after the fifteen minutes of being a real man...

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 scales all over his body. Then he realized that he was not too real for a while. She begins to shed her skin in pain! 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 statement of [Reverse Scale] was absolutely not deceptive. In the next six hours, all the dragon characteristics in his body really disappeared completely. If it hadn't been for the body to grow back six hours later with an indescribable itching. After returning, the scaly dragon horns gradually returned to normal. Before, the race column in the character panel clearly stated: Human (hidden Thunder Dragon bloodline). Mo Tan thought that he simply would not be able to go back.

Looking at it this way, this skill seems to be quite worthwhile...

Although there is 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 they rely on the [Reverse Scale] If a real man can't kill the opponent or force himself out of the battle in fifteen minutes, then his death is not unjust at all, and its 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 there are dragons and human beings in the three words half-dragon, the difference between this race and dragons 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 different creatures, but this The gap between races and people is not that big. Whether the 'person' refers to humans, elves, dwarves, or dwarves, the only difference is that the dragon scales, dragon tails, dragon horns, and slightly larger skeletons Down to the smallest details.

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, the heritability of half-dragon blood is not 100% ), then the difference in appearance between the two will become very big, just like the difference between a fair young man riding a motorcycle to XZ before and after the trip, 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 transforms from a half-dragon into a 'human' after fifteen minutes, he will almost 100% be recognized as he is 90% similar to the real Mo Tan!

Then it will be completely unexplainable!

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 to change himself and act recklessly when he was completely at a loss. If he uses up all his cards, plus Those orcs who didn't seem to be overly abused took the initiative to resist, and maybe they could actually 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 impossible, such as...

"Ahem, I mainly want you to take the time to monitor them."

Mo Tan coughed dryly, offered up an alternative reason with limited persuasiveness, and shrugged: "If you have subjective emotions, it is likely to be noticed by those people. If you make them wary, it will be troublesome."

Although the persuasiveness is indeed limited, 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 with his knees on his knees: "It's okay. We'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 for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "Adventurers Guild? Are you going to issue a mission to deal with those bastards?"

"All of us combined can't afford such a task."

Mo Tan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If the remuneration is too low, it will only alert the enemy. 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, like sails in Mo Tan's eyes...

"What do you mean by sailing? I'm not a boat!"

The winged beautiful girl bared her teeth at Mo Tan and walked out of the room first. She turned back and said with a smile: "Since you have plans, I will accompany you."

fifteen minutes later

Anka Market, Adventurer's Guild 1st Floor Hall

Chris, who was dozing 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!"

"Good morning, Miss Chris." Mo Tan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, nothing happened."

The young lady nodded, lay down again, and then pointed her little finger towards the door: "Then get out of here and prepare for the security mission at night."

Obviously, this staff member has no desire to work at all...

Ji Xiaoge, who was standing next to Mo Tan, flapped his 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 casually at the bustling rookie adventurers and whispered: "It's not very convenient here..."

"Okay, for sister Ye Ge's sake."

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 took care of himself and led Ji Xiaoge upstairs.

[Alas, although she is indeed a beauty...]

Mo Tan looked at the back of Miss Chris and sighed heartbrokenly, suddenly remembering his wealth when he was 'Tan Mo'.

five minutes later

Adventurer's Guild, third floor, 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 from bitter coffee.”

【coffee……】

Mo Tan pursed his lips subconsciously, glanced at the clear water in front of him with a dumbfounded look, and sighed.

Ji Xiaoge tilted his head: "I want to drink coffee~"

"Hold on."

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 brewed.

"Okay, what's going on?"

Chris put the coffee in front of Ji Xiaoge, sat across from the two of them, crossed his legs and said to Mo Tan unceremoniously: "It's best to finish it within ten minutes, the remaining time is just enough. I’ll catch up on some sleep.”

Mo Tan didn't waste any time and said straight to the point: "Not long ago, I saw a suspicious team 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 and said: "Anka Market is a pure trading place. There are people involved in smuggling, selling dirty goods, and laundering money. As long as they don't break the rules, no one will care about them."

Mo Tan sighed and was silent for a few seconds before slowly asking: "So, is slave trading 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 have ended inexplicably are especially taboo here in the Northwest Continent, but these days, the hellish place in the Free Capital won’t care about such things.”

Ji Xiaoge suddenly smiled with relief and said excitedly: "Sister Chris, the 'suspicious' people Mo and I saw must be slave traders. He saw with his own eyes two carriages full of imprisoned people. Orcs.”

In the end, Chris nodded very calmly: "Then what?"

Ji Xiaoge was stunned for a moment: "Then?"

"A considerable part of that batch of slaves should come from the Fire Claws of the Violet Empire. I heard this from a friend before. Those poor people were secretly captured by the slave-catching group under the Marshall family." Mo Tan He frowned and said in a deep voice: "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..."

"Breaking the rules?"

Chris shook his head and shrugged, "No, they didn't break the rules."

Ji Xiaoge's eyes widened: "Why..."

"I said, 'The slave trade was banned a long time ago,' but the question is, did they sell slaves here?"

"but……"

"If not, it's not against the rules. Sister Ye Ge, this place is not as sweet as you think~"
