Doomsday Game

Unconsciously, the night fell, and the overall appearance of the city has changed again.

There are no modern electric lighting equipment here, but torches, oil lamps, and various luminous extraordinary minerals and extraordinary creations, which can also illuminate the streets, adding a bit of mystery to this medieval city.

As night fell, most residents chose to return home to rest, while many hunters and extraordinary people who made a living by hunting monsters returned from outside the city and started the most anticipated activity of the day - drinking and eating meat.

As a result, the taverns in the city began to become lively, becoming a good place for those extraordinary people who had finished a day of fighting to gather and communicate.

Chu Yan also followed the adjutant and came to a tavern.

Not only for eating, but also to see what the adventurer tavern that must appear in the fantasy world looks like.

By the way, see if you can get some information. After all, places like taverns are mixed, and you can often get a lot of reliable and unreliable gossip.

This is a tavern called "Grey Dragon's Sleep". There are many guests in it, and it even seems a bit crowded.

The dim candlelight and the firelight in the fireplace interweave, reflecting a warm and exotic picture.

The rough wooden beams support the high ceiling, on which hang strings of air-dried herbs and garlic braids, exuding a faint fragrance.

The heavy oak door is engraved with ancient runes, as if telling a mysterious story.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the aroma of barbecue and the unique mellow aroma of malt liquor in the air, and occasionally you can smell a trace of strange spices that Chu Yan has never smelled.

In the center of the tavern is a huge long table, and there are a dozen scattered round tables around it, which are almost full of various customers.

From human adventurers wearing leather armor, cloth armor, and even heavy armor, carrying swords and shields, to slender and strong elf archers with sharp eyes, to muscular orc warriors with various beast totems painted on their faces and bodies.

They sat together, eating barbecue and drinking wine, while sharing their stories and talking about today's harvest and battle.

Laughter and conversations came one after another, forming a noisy ocean.

An old man in a tattered cloak was telling the legendary experience of how he escaped from the claws of a lord-level monster when he was young. Although his audience may have heard this story countless times, they still responded with warm applause and cheers.

In the corner of the tavern, several elegant elves sat together and talked in a low voice, their fingers gently playing the exquisite wooden harp, and the melodious music flowed throughout the room like a mountain spring.

On the other side, there was a table of orcs who seemed particularly noisy. They drank heavily, played finger-guessing games, and arm-wrestled. Every time someone won or lost, there would be a burst of unbridled laughter.

In the corner, a dwarf wearing a wide-brimmed hat sat alone in the dark, with a glass of amber liquor in front of him. He drank it in big gulps, and his face turned red from drinking alone.

There were many distinctive decorations on the walls of the tavern, the most conspicuous of which were a row of weapons hanging, a complete animal skin, and several processed monster head decorations.

From these weapons and trophies, it can be seen that the owner of the tavern was probably an extraordinary adventurer who licked blood outside in the past, and he was the same kind of person as the guests who consumed wantonly in these taverns.

Mr. Adjutant seemed to be a frequent visitor here. As soon as he entered the door, the waiters in the tavern recognized him and enthusiastically found a seat for him and wiped the tables and chairs.

When he ordered the wine and food with familiarity, Chu Yan's attention was already on the various conversations in the tavern.

Ignore all the voices of bragging, talking about daily life, and playing finger-guessing games. Look for the voices that discuss the general situation of the country, or the voices that discuss national events.

Don't think it's impossible. The more places like this, the more current affairs commentators who discuss national events.

The adjutant saw that Chu Yan's attention was on the guests in the tavern, but he seemed to have misunderstood something. He sighed and said:

"Mr. Betarot, you lived in an ordinary Dragon City before. You shouldn't have seen so many kinds of rootless people, right?"

"In fact, their experience is also very sad. The original world was destroyed and swallowed, and they became rootless duckweed. They were finally rescued by our Dragon Country, but they can't live like normal Dragon Country citizens."

Chu Yan heard this and turned to look at him in confusion: "Why can't we live like normal Dragon Country citizens? Is there any reason?"

The adjutant explained: "It's mainly because the destruction of the original world caused the collapse of the power system. The power itself is incompatible with the abyss plane. The way forward is cut off, and the power is constantly suppressed and dissipated., and because of this original power, they cannot receive the blessing of the Dragon God to be reborn. "

"That is to say, if most of the rootless people want to become dragon vein followers like ordinary citizens, they need to find a way to completely erase the original power in their bodies, and then obtain more dragon blood potions than normal to change their bodies. In short, they have to spend dozens or hundreds of times more resources than ordinary people to successfully switch to the path of dragon vein followers. "

"In this case, the more powerful the rootless people are, the greater the price they have to pay to switch to cultivation, so much so that they can't afford it in their lifetime. "

"So most of them can only continue to guard their own incomplete power, live in the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, dare not leave the protection of the Dragon God's law, and make a living by hunting abyss monsters in the Dragon Kingdom, or receive a salary far below their own strength, undertake various security patrols and other duties in the country, and live in a difficult situation. "Perhaps their only hope in life can only fall on their offspring. At least the children they give birth to after coming to Dragon Country are pure white paper, and can walk on the correct extraordinary path without being affected by the native world and become true citizens of Dragon Country." After listening to this, Chu Yan couldn't help but think of the fourth-level strongmen among the rootless people he met on the battlefield before. At that time, he was still wondering why they would rather guard this broken power than switch to the power of dragon veins. With the realm experience and extraordinary talent they have reached, they should have more advantages than others if they start over, right? Now I understand that it's not that they don't want to, but the price is too high and they can't afford it. It is estimated that even the emperor of Dragon Country has given up on them, thinking that it is extremely uneconomical to spend huge resources to help them start over. It is better to make use of waste and squeeze out their last value while they are still alive. After all, they are a group of fourth-level Although the strong are disabled and cannot leave the territory, they can still be used to guard the home.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea.

He is now a human dragon, and theoretically he should be able to cultivate his own dragon vein followers, so can I find some awesome subordinates among these people to retrain?

If he can find a way to help them smoothly pass the transition period, then he won’t have to worry about having no one to use in the future?

If he can really do it, then the top strong men among these rootless people will probably compete to join his team, right?

Well, this is a good development direction, you can try it if you have the opportunity.
