Royal Alchemist

At first glance, the screen was black, and I couldn't see anything clearly. Some vague things were stirring, as if a bunch of bugs were crowded together.

Take a closer look, where is the bug, but a person!

It is not accurate to say that they are people, their skin seems to be covered with scales, black and shiny, faintly reflecting a faint light, their mouths are slightly opened, and they make an inexplicable sound.

It's the dragon man!Dragon people as numerous as reptiles!

From the picture, hundreds of thousands of dragon people are locked in a large cage, you squeeze each other like sardine cans, the movement space is so narrow that it is difficult to even turn around, so it looks like a bunch of bugs from a distance .

"Yes...it's the dragonman..." the technician said tremblingly.

But how could such a large number of dragon people be locked in cages?

Qiu Ye's face turned pale: "It's a demonized human being..."

It turned out that this was a magic field of the dragon people. Countless living people were captured, locked together like livestock, "processed" into dragon people, and then put into the battlefield to kill their former kind.This place is like an arsenal and a slaughterhouse. The ones in the camera are probably the latest batch that has just been demonized and has not had time to be released.

"Tell me the location." Qiuye asked in a deep voice.

The technician observed the location of the camera: "It's on the second floor underground."

"The information here is very important. There should be information about the demonization of the Demon Dragon Man. Try to save it." Qiu Ye ordered, and then said to Feng Qi, "I'll go down and deal with it."

Feng Qi nodded: "Be careful."

Qiu Ye led a group of people to the second basement floor, and soon found the giant cage.The turbid air was almost unbreathable, and the towering metal mesh separated an aisle on the second basement floor, which was filled with darkness and filled with dragon people.

bang bang bang!

Those demonized people have lost their human consciousness. When they saw Qiu Ye and the others, they threw themselves on the metal net with ferocious faces, roaring and roaring, and their sharp claws wanted to stick out from the hollow of the metal net.

"It's terrible, so many dragon people!" The soldier clenched the gun in his hand and swallowed hard.

Akiba cautiously took a step forward, looking at the faces that were not much different from humans, feeling an indescribable pain in her chest.

These people may have been normal human beings a few days ago, watching themselves become monsters bit by bit, how could they feel fear and helplessness?

"Are there any alive?" Amidst the screams of animals, Qiu Ye's voice was clear and penetrating.

No one answered him, the dragon people didn't know what stimulated them, and they scrambled to hit the metal grid. The metal grid couldn't bear the heavy pressure, and was pushed toppled outwards, making a sound of breaking, almost unable to stop the turbulent rush. Here comes the dragon man.

Qiu Ye took a step back, and the soldier said anxiously: "Lieutenant, don't delay, there must be no one alive..."

Qiu Ye nodded helplessly, motioning for them to do it.

The battle was not over yet, they couldn't take so many demon dragon captives, it was neither practical nor safe, the only way to deal with it was to kill them.

As soon as the order was given, the eager soldiers fired immediately, and bright green beams shot from the guns.This is specially designed for soldiers, and it is also the only non-alchemy weapon that can penetrate the scales of the dragon, but because of its heavy weight and slow rate of fire, it is very difficult to use in actual combat.

The dragon people were enraged, some of them fled in all directions, and some rushed towards Qiuye even more crazily. The dragon people behind stepped on the corpse of the dragon people in front, and the metal net was crushed almost ninety degrees, manic The roar toppled the roof.

"Lieutenant, it's too dangerous, why don't you step back a little bit?"

Qiu Ye shook her head indifferently: "No, they can't hurt me."

"what--"

At this moment, a scream came from a certain place, the scream was heart-piercing, a little bit crisp and a little bit thin, pulled up to a high place like a torn silk, only a person who is extremely frightened and desperate can make such a desperate cry Voice.

Qiu Ye's eyes suddenly widened: "Stop shooting! It seems that there are still people alive!"

Facing so many dragonmen, the soldiers' nerves were tense, and they wanted to kill them all, so they didn't care about Qiuye saying stop.

"Stop! Stop! Put down your guns!" Qiu Ye roared violently, overpowering the gunshots.

The screaming continued, obviously no breath, still screaming desperately, the fragile voice was wailing, hoarse and sad.

Qiu Ye stretched out her hands, holding two knives: "Cover me, open the door for me."

The soldier said in surprise: "Lieutenant, you can't go in, there are so many inside..."

"Open the door!" Qiu Ye shouted.

Qiu Ye, who had always been smiling and not serious, burst out with a strong aura. The soldiers looked at him in fear, and no one dared to stop him.

There was a gap in the door, and the soldiers shot back the dragon people blocking the door. Qiuye took the opportunity to enter, and the metal gate closed tightly with a bang, locking Qiuye and the dragon people together.

The two knives, one long and one short, glowed all over their bodies, bursting out in the dimness with a dazzling light like the sun, and golden flames swallowed and suffocated on the knives.

A demon dragon man rushed towards him howling, and Qiu Ye brandished a pair of knives, chopping off his head in an instant.

The heavy corpse crashed to the ground, Qiuye stepped over his corpse and strode forward, there were dragon men trying to attack Qiuye, but he cut them all under the knife.Black and red blood splattered on Qiu Ye's body, scalding and smelly, he wiped it off without hesitation, and continued to fight.

The soldiers outside were stunned. They admired Akiba's mech fighting skills, but they didn't expect that fighting skills also had an overwhelming advantage. Akiba, who obviously didn't look like a strong fighter, was like the most powerful fighter, and solved it cleanly. Kill the swarming enemies.Alone, only him, facing countless dragon people without fear, so far their admiration for Qiuye has been all over the place.

Gradually, the dragon man dared not approach any more, and made threatening sounds from a distance.They just don't have human consciousness, and they still have normal intelligence. When facing opponents far stronger than them, they will not foolishly go forward.

The screaming weakened a little, as if he really had no strength, and the crying gradually became louder.

Qiu Ye searched for the sound, and finally in an inconspicuous corner, saw a person curled up on the ground with his head in his arms.

He immediately cut down the dragon man beside him and rushed over: "Is it still alive? Is there anyone alive?"

The man's body trembled suddenly, and he raised his head in disbelief, and the face of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy appeared in front of him.

"Can you still get up?" Qiu Ye quickly ran to him.

The boy's eyes were wide open, and his body was trembling. From the looks of it, Qiu Ye was like a bloody warrior, stepping over the corpse. Although his body was dirty, his eyes were as bright as stars, pulling him out of the endless darkness.

Qiu Ye casually chopped down a demon dragon man who was trying to sneak attack, and the blood splashed on his head again, and a puddle of blood flew to the boy's face. He flinched, but still stared blankly at Qiu Ye.

"Hello? Scared out of my wits? Can you understand me?" Qiu Ye asked anxiously.

The boy's lips trembled, and he made an extremely weak voice: "Help me..."

Qiu Ye put away a knife, grabbed the boy's back and ran out.

"Cover!" Qiu Ye roared outside, and chopped off the arm of the dragon man.

The gunshot rang out again, and Qiuye rushed to the door with the little boy and got out of the cage.

The dragon man roared and rushed forward, his head was blown off by a salvo.

Panting heavily, Qiuye wiped the blood from his face indiscriminately, and took a rough look at the boy, but because the light was too dim, he couldn't see anything clearly.

The boy was still trembling, and he hadn't recovered from his panic. He was holding Qiu Ye's clothes tightly with both hands, and couldn't believe that he had been rescued.

How could there be normal humans among the dragon people?Akiba vaguely had an answer in his heart.

"What's your name?" Qiuye asked in as gentle a voice as possible.

"Ya, Jacques, I, my name is Jacques." The boy stammered.

"Okay, Jacques." Qiuye stroked the top of his head, "Come with me, I'll take you to check your body."

Akiba dragged Jacques out of the basement involuntarily. He needed to go back to the ship for a physical examination immediately to confirm the boy's current condition.

Back on the ground, as soon as he walked out of the municipal building, Qiuye saw many people gathered outside, all of them were filthy and their hair was messy. They had been hiding for a long time because of the war, and now they finally saw the light of day.

"Please, let me in! My brother was caught by those monsters! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"My husband was also taken away by them, let's go in!"

"And my son! My miserable son is inside!"

A group of people were crying and trying to rush into the municipal building, but the soldiers guarding the door could hardly stop them.

"Back! Back! If your relatives are inside, we will rescue them!" Soldiers struggled to form a human wall to push the crowd out.

Akiba didn't have time to mind his own business, so he called a soldier to ask if there was a car back to the ship. The boy shrank behind Akiba, his big eyes rolled in horror, and looked at the crowd.

Suddenly a man rushed in like crazy, almost pushed a soldier down: "Jacques! Jacques! My God, you are still alive! Jacques, brother is here!"

"Brother!" With a hoarse shout, Jacques shot out like a cannonball.

Excited by the shout, the man insisted on getting through the wall of soldiers and ran towards the boy.

"You're still alive! That's great!" The man hugged Jacques, crying and laughing, and fell to his knees.

"Brother!" Tears welled up in the boy's eyes, and he couldn't say a word except to call him brother.

Akiba sighed, shaking her head sadly.

"I thought you were going to die...I...I..." The man pulled Jacques' body and looked at it repeatedly, as if confirming that his brother was intact, he lifted his sleeves and stroked his arm.

But at this moment, the joy on the man's face froze, as if seeing something horrible and disgusting, his facial muscles shook rapidly, his eyes widened, and he stared at Jacques in horror.

"Ah!" The man screamed, and pushed Jacques away suddenly, his body trembling violently.

not good!Akiba suddenly realized something.

Jacques' exposed arm was covered with a layer of scales, showing a blue-black color. It was so dark in the basement that he couldn't see clearly. In fact, his degree of demonization was very close to that of the dragon man!

"Brother?" Jacques was pushed to the ground by the man, not understanding why the brother who was crying with joy just now suddenly pushed him away.

He reached out to the man, trying to get closer.

"Don't come here!" The man rubbed his hands and feet back a few steps, his face twisted.

Jacques froze, looking at him blankly.

Brother is actually afraid of him?

"Ah - the dragon man! He is the dragon man!" The people who squeezed outside the door cried out when they saw this scene.

The word dragonman is tantamount to a giant bomb falling on the crowd, blowing them to pieces.

"Dragon people! The dragon people are coming!" They screamed and fled, except for a few who insisted on looking for their relatives, they fled without a trace in an instant.

They were really frightened by the dragon man, and they all became frightened birds. When they heard the name of the dragon man, they were so frightened that they wanted to disappear.

Jacques was frightened by them, he didn't know what he did wrong, why people ran away when they saw him, he was still trying to get closer to the man, the only relative in this world: "Brother? It's me, Jacques."

"You're not my Jacques!" the man screamed, his voice out of tune. "You're a monster! You're a monster!"

The man got up from the ground on hands and feet, stumbled and ran out of the municipal building without looking back.

"Brother!" Jacques screamed, wanting to chase.

The soldiers raised their guns and aimed at Jacques, ready to beat him into a sieve.

"Don't shoot!" Qiu Ye rushed over to hug Jacques, and made a prohibitive gesture to the soldiers, "Don't shoot! He's still human!"

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to put down their weapons. They had clearly seen his scaly skin, so how could he be a human?

"Brother, don't you want me?" Jacques roared, his immature face twitching in pain. The days and nights of being imprisoned by the dragon people were endless and terrifying torture. His relatives were scared away by him, his thin body struggled and was firmly imprisoned by Qiu Ye.

A lieutenant approached Jacques carefully with a gun in his hand: "Lieutenant Akiba, please get out of the way! Didn't you see that he has turned into a monster!"

"He's a human being! He can talk and think, can't you understand?" Qiu Ye said angrily, holding Jacques in his arms with his body.

He regretted it, it was his mistake.

So many dragon men in the cage did not attack Jacques, obviously his physique was closer to that of the dragon men.It shouldn't be brought out carelessly at all, but a vehicle should be arranged to send it directly to the ship, maybe this heartbreaking scene can be avoided.

"He's a monster! He's dangerous, he'll hurt you anytime, anywhere, get out of the way!"

"I said he's human! I'll check his body!"

"It's just a monster..."

"Shut up!" A shout came from the sky.

An angry Wu Dong rushed out of the municipal building and ran to Qiu Ye.

He grabbed Jacques' hand and looked at it, then looked into his eyes, and made a basic judgment based on his rough experience.

It's okay for now...but it's coming soon...

The scene of his friend being completely demonized reappeared in front of him, Wu Dong felt a pain in his heart, and his eyes were blood red.

The lieutenant was eager to kill the enemy: "What are you doing! Get out of the way! He is a dragon!"

"He's not a dragon man, he's a human being!" Wu Dong roared gruffly.

"He has been demonized! Even if he is still a human being, he is still a monster!"

Wu Dong jumped up and shouted at the top of his voice: "I have also been demonized! Then you beat me to death first!" He tore off his combat uniform and fell to the ground. With a howl, he tore off the black vest inside, pointing Heartbroken, "Come on! I'm a monster too! Kill me!"

A piece of skin on his left chest hardened into a scale, black and blue.

Qiu Ye was shocked. The last time he checked his body was three days ago, and his skin had scaled in these three days. This speed was a bit too fast.

The lieutenant took a few steps back in disbelief, his hand holding the gun shook violently, not knowing whether to continue pointing or to put it down.

Yesterday he and Wu Dong trained together, ate together, hooked shoulders like brothers, and joked about meat and vegetables, but today he actually said he was a demonized person.

"Kill! Don't you want to kill monsters?" Wu Dong patted his chest and took a step forward.

The lieutenant took a step back and looked at Wu Dong with a complicated expression. Not only him, but all the soldiers present looked at Wu Dong strangely, with fear, disgust, and sympathy.

Qiu Ye pulled Wu Dong, walked up to the lieutenant, and pressed hard on his hand holding the gun: "Okay, put the gun down, and don't point the gun at your own people."

I don't know if the phrase "one of my own people" is particularly effective, the lieutenant was pressed by him, and his hand fell off.

"Is there a car? I want to go back to the ship." Qiu Ye supported Jacques' shoulders, "It's okay, you come with me."

There was no trace of blood on Jacques's pale face, and his sleeves were pinched in his palms, for fear of revealing a little skin. He looked at Qiuye blankly: "My brother doesn't want me anymore, does he?"

Qiu Ye choked up for a moment, not knowing how to answer, she just knelt down and hugged him gently: "No, when you recover, you can see brother."

Jacques' cheeks twitched, it was a sarcasm smile, he was more than ten years old, not a child who didn't know anything, he watched the people around him turn into scaled monsters one by one, watched them go from crying to heaven Qiang Di turned into a hideous face, and he knew very well that he would become that thing too.

Qiu Ye's words are okay to comfort a seven or eight-year-old child, but trying to fool an older child is not acceptable.

"What happened?" Feng Qi heard the movement and came out of the building.

Qiu Ye got up and said first: "I found a semi-demonized man, and I am about to send him back to the ship for a physical examination."

If you don't use some special relationship at this time, what are you waiting for?

At the same time, the lieutenant wanted to say something, but he looked at Qiu Ye and Feng Qi, and closed his mouth wisely.

Feng Qi was taken aback by Qiu Ye's appearance at first, his body and face were covered with dried blood, and his hair was also covered with blood, but he was relieved when he found that it wasn't his blood.His blue eyes glanced at Jacques lightly, and then passed over everyone's faces. Although he was not at the scene, he was as smart as he guessed what happened at a glance.

"Oh, let's go then." Feng Qi told the adjutant, "Frank, prepare a car for him, and you can go with him."

Not only did he personally order the car to be prepared, but he also asked the adjutant to follow, as if he was afraid that Qiuye would suffer.

The vehicle was ready quickly, Qiuye took Jacques into the car, and Wu Dong followed with all his heart.

Driving out of the municipal building, Qiuye finally breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Wu Dong: "You don't have to follow, I can handle it."

Wu Dong kept looking at Jacques: "I can't let go, he's still so young."

The same experience of being demonized made Wu Dong feel uneasy.

Jacques lowered his head from the beginning to the end, without saying a word, showing no emotion.

"Why did you say it?" Qiu Ye suddenly sighed, "Your symptoms are not obvious, and you can still hide them for a long time. Once you tell them, everyone will..." Everyone will reject you.He didn't say the second half of the sentence after all.

On the contrary, Wu Dong looked indifferent: "Didn't Feng Qi say that, paper can't contain fire, it doesn't make much difference if you say it sooner or later."

"It's a day to last a day."

"Why bother, it's boring." Wu Dong said wearily, "After a long time, I'm afraid they will feel that I'm deceiving them even more. It's better to die early and be reborn sooner."

"At least you can wait for your companion to come."

"Did you see the look in their eyes? Disgusted, disgusted, wishing to be far away, he is still so young, they are all afraid of being like that, how ridiculous." Wu Dong sneered, "Anyway, I have said it, it doesn't matter."

Qiu Ye let out a long sigh, not knowing what else to say.

"I'm dying, aren't I?" Jacques said suddenly.

"No, you won't die!" Qiu Ye hurriedly said, afraid of stimulating his young heart again.

"That's turning into a monster, I know it." Although Jacques' tone was very light, there was obvious resentment, and even a sense of self-destruction.

Akiba was at a loss for words, racking her brains to try to comfort others, and sadly found that she was not good at it at all.

"You believe they are fools!" Wu Dong hooked Jacques' neck, almost dragging him down with so much strength, "We are the strongest fighters! Do you understand, the strongest!"

Jacques remembered something: "You have also been... demonized?"

"Yes, that's why I'm so strong, you know?" He folded his right arm, puffed up his muscles vigorously, and slapped it twice, showing his full sense of strength.

Jacques' lifeless face had a slight hint of anger, staring blankly at his biceps.

But the popularity dissipated quickly, and he turned to the outside of the car, his lips moving.

Qiu Ye heard him whisper two words: brother.
