Chapter 497 Bandits (3)

"Damn it..." This was the last thought that flashed through the dragon's mind. At this moment, his head had been separated from his huge body. The man had cut off his dragon head with a lightning-like strike at the last moment...

...After taking care of Scar-Eyed Jack, or should we call him Jack the Dragon, the caravan never encountered any trouble again along the way.

But again, who would want to take advantage of this team? None of the bandits nearby thought that their heads were stronger than dragon scales.

The group arrived at their destination, Kent, the largest city in the south, very smoothly.

"Okay, let's just say goodbye.

Everyone has arrived at their destination." The man smiled and stretched out his hand to Lei Jie.

"Yeah." Lei Jie nodded, but then he remembered something and looked up and asked, "Um, do you really don't want it? This is a lot of money..." What Lei Jie was talking about was Jack's head.

, Oh, no, it should be the leader now.

Due to Jack's cunning and cruel nature, both the Mercenary Kingdom and the Odo Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the Odo Alliance, offered an almost sky-high bounty to reward him.

When the man threw the dragon's head to Lei Jie, he was greatly surprised. Being able to kill Jack was not only a bounty, but also an honor. What's more, Jack was actually a giant dragon. These things

The added value can no longer be measured in terms of money.

"No need, I'll give it to you as I said." The man smiled and shook his head, then continued with some apology, "In fact, if I hadn't taken action too late, your mercenary group probably wouldn't have died.

There are so many people.

Alas, if that guy Jack doesn't give him enough temptation, he will definitely not show up, because so many people have been sacrificed in vain.

In fact, I discovered that there was an ambush there at the beginning, but I can't tell you..." "Needless to say, if you weren't here, even if we saw the ambush, we might not be able to escape from Jack's hands.

Escape.

Damn the Dragon Clan..." Lei Jie said this with anger on his face.

"I don't think all dragons are like that. Aren't there also scum among humans? Goodbye." The man patted Lei Jie on the shoulder, then turned and walked towards the other side.

Only Lei Jie, who was still looking confused, was left in place.

The man didn't go far, and the woman who had been with him appeared behind him at some point. She hesitated and said in a slightly grateful tone: "Edward, thank you." "No, don't say this.

That’s ridiculous, Ellie. “Love.

Dehua shook his head and continued, "I'm sorry for killing your kind in front of you today." "Oh, when you said that, well, I might be really angry!" At this time, Ellie's face showed signs of anger.

Suddenly a naughty smile appeared, and then his face immediately dropped.

"Ah! No way." Seeing Ellie suddenly turning her face, Edward seemed at a loss for a moment.

"Well, what should I do? By the way, I just saw some beautiful jewelry, help me buy it!" Seeing Edward's appearance, Ellie chuckled, and then dragged him aside.

Run towards the square.

Seeing Ellie choosing between pieces of shining jewelry with gleaming eyes, Edward already knew that he would have to spend money again.

"It seems that the seal can only seal her power. It would be great if it could also seal her nature." Edward looked at Ellie in mourning and thought silently in his heart.

After the battle with Abyss, Cecilis told them that Ellie has a power different from ordinary dragons. Before Ellie recovers her memory, if left unchecked, that power may bring changes to the world.

disaster.

And the golden bracelet on her wrist was made to suppress the power in her body.

After learning all this, Ellie quickly followed the method taught by Cecilis, sealed herself with the power of the bracelet again, and transformed back into human form.

However, Edward soon discovered that Ellie still had some changes. Although her personality became much more cheerful than before, some of the dragon's unique temperaments also began to show up, especially her habit of collecting luminous objects.

During her break in the Free League, Ellie made her room look like a dragon's lair, with sparkling little objects everywhere, from gems to jewelry, almost everything.

In addition, she has lived as a human for such a long time, so unlike other dragons, she likes anything that shines. There is one more requirement for her collection: it must be refined and beautiful... "Ha, Edward, you

What do you think of this? It’s very beautiful.” Ellie picked out a pair of earrings with white crystals and said while wearing them in front of the mirror.

"Okay, okay, okay.

As long as you like it, that's fine." Edward said perfunctorily.

In fact, he had heard some friends who had families or were about to have families complain to him about how painful it was to go shopping with their wives and girlfriends. At that time, he was secretly glad that Ellie didn't have the habit of shopping.

However, as her dragon nature awakened, the pain seemed to become more severe and befall him.

As if she didn't notice Edward's painful expression, Ellie looked at her current appearance in the mirror with a smile, then shook her head and walked out of the shop.

Needless to say, the person paying the bill was Edward, who looked depressed.

And just as Ellie walked out of the store, a red-haired girl about the same age as herself ran towards her.

Maybe she was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to what was in front of her, and she immediately bumped into Ellie.

"I'm sorry, I ran too fast.

I wasn't paying attention!" After the girl found out that she had bumped into someone, she immediately stood up with an apologetic look on her face, walked up to help Ellie up, "You didn't get hurt, did you?" "It's okay, it's okay." Maybe it was something she just bought that she liked.

, Ellie couldn't see anything unhappy at this time, and replied with a smile on her face, "Be careful next time." "Well, goodbye then." The girl said and immediately turned around and quickly walked again

He ran forward and soon disappeared around the corner.

But Ellie didn't notice the weird smile on the girl's face when she turned around.

"Ellie, who were you talking to just now?" At this time, Edward, who had just been taken advantage of, followed him out of the store. He did not see the scene where Ellie was hit.

"It's okay. I was accidentally knocked down when I came out just now." Ellie waved her hand and continued, but just when she suddenly noticed something abnormal, she then reached out and touched her neck, and her face immediately changed.

All pale.

"No! What's going on! This is terrible." At this time, Ellie seemed to be like an ant on a hot pot, walking in place, while her hands kept touching her body and pockets, as if she was looking for something.

.

"What's going on? Ellie!" Seeing Ellie like this, Edward also seemed a little anxious.

"The Philosopher's Gem, the Philosopher's Gem is missing.

What happened to the one you just had around my neck?" "What!" Upon hearing this, Edward's face began to look ugly.

According to Cecilis, the Philosopher's Gem is one of the keys to unlocking Ellie's past. It is precisely because of this that the two of them will set off again to the destination they never reached last time - the Holy Mountain of the Dragon Clan.

Pharos.

"Calm down, you can't solve the problem now," Edward pressed Ellie's shoulder, and then said seriously, "Tell me slowly, what happened to you just after you went out." Maybe it was Edward's calmness.

It brought hope to Ellie, and then she completely recounted the incident of being hit while going out.

"No need to guess, there is something wrong with that girl.

This is a common stealing method used by thieves." After hearing this, Edward immediately said, "Tell me what the girl looks like, and we will look for her separately.

It would be troublesome if that thing fell into other people's hands."

In a slum in the south of Kent City, the girl who had just "easily" removed Ellie from her body as she valued her life was walking forward along the messy road with a satisfied look on her face.

Her expression seemed to be that of an adventurer who had just returned from the dragon's lair with a full load, looking extremely excited and proud.

"Oh, you look so happy.

Have you met your sweetheart? You look like this, brother, I feel so disappointed!" At this time, several boys and men in their early twenties on the roadside greeted her jokingly.

"Go, go, go! Even if all the men in the world die, I will not fall in love with you." The girl replied jokingly, but her steps did not stop for a moment, and she still walked forward quickly.

After passing through several dark and narrow lanes, the girl came to an inconspicuous house.

She reached out and pulled the door handle and door lock.

However, the girl did not show a trace of disappointment. Instead, she smiled mischievously, and then took out two wires from her trouser pocket.

Then she slightly adjusted the shape of the wires and inserted them into the key hole on the door.

In less than half a minute, there was a slight "click" sound from the opposite side of the door.

The girl nodded, then tiptoed open the door and walked in quietly.

There was no waiting in the house. Although it was still daytime, it still seemed pitch black.

But this was not difficult for the girl. She seemed to be able to see everything clearly in the dark, and she still walked around softly in the room filled with clutter.

After a while, she appeared on the stairs leading to the second floor.

Going up the stairs to the second floor, the girl quickly walked to the door of a room. She carefully opened the door with a wire, then opened the door softly and walked in.

There was an old man in the room with his back to her, leaning over the table and writing something, seemingly not noticing her arrival.

But just when the girl walked quietly behind the old man, the old man suddenly stretched and said lazily.

"Alma? You little girl, never go to the front door before going to the back door." The old man said this abruptly, causing an awkward smile to appear on the face of the girl known as Alma - she had never been there before.

It was discovered from the beginning.

"Yeah, you are still stronger.

Father Fernandez!" Alma scratched her short hair and said with a smile.

"Hmph, don't make such a sound when you open the door next time. The guy at the front door probably heard the sound you made when you opened the door downstairs." Fernandez said a few words in a slightly admonishing tone, and then turned around.

He said to Alma, "Okay, let's talk.

Today, another family is so unlucky to encounter you as a disaster star." "Hehe, it's okay.

I got something by the way while asking for news today." When she heard this, Alma smiled and took out some odds and ends from the small bag she carried.

Including various small gems, jewelry and other exquisite gadgets.

"Hmm." Fernandez picked up a ring casually, looked at it carefully under the white magic lamp, and then said slowly, "Is there anything else? Are you a girl walking behind just to let me know?

I, an old man, do you think these big-name products are popular?" "Hey, I can't hide anything from you.

Dad!" Alma smiled awkwardly, but then she said seriously, "But this time I got something big.

I'm afraid you are here..." Fernandez hesitated for a moment, and at this time he seemed to be somewhat interested in what Alma had obtained.

Then he stood up, walked to the bookshelf nearby, and gently pushed an inconspicuous book. After a slight vibration, the entire row of bookshelves retracted toward the wall, revealing a secret passage.

An old man and a young man walked down the secret passage for a long time and came to a completely airtight room.

With the help of the magic lamps on the four walls, you can see that there are countless complex magic circles drawn on the four walls.

"Okay, let's talk.

What is it this time.

You know that this room can shield everything inside. Even if a forbidden spell is used inside, the outside world cannot know." Alma clicked, and then took out a skewer from another pocket of her clothes.

crystal necklace and placed it carefully on the table.

"This is it.

I was asking about Scar-Eyed Jack today, and I got it from a magician on the way back." "Oh? If you dare to take things from a magician, you girl is getting more and more courageous." Fei

Nandez joked as he picked up the necklace and looked at the crystals on it carefully.

Almost as soon as he touched the crystal, Fernandez's old face suddenly became surprised, and even his breathing began to become more and more rapid.

"This, this thing is incredible." Fernandez showed a confused look in front of others for the first time. In fact, when he took over the rogues' union in Kent City (PS: it was the thieves' union, but the thieves were more willing to

Wanderers, as others call them, have an eye that can accurately determine the true value of an item in a minute.

Compared with him, those so-called appraisal masters are just like children who don't understand anything.

But this time, he was still unable to see through what kind of magic item the crystal in his hand was. The only thing he knew was that the crystal contained indescribably powerful magical energy.
