Spark City, South City.
Since the Meiya people hid here eighty years ago, they have built a huge stronghold relying on the environment here.
As time goes by, the current Spark City has become a magnificent city with a style similar to that of Liyue City.
This is actually normal. After all, Liyue City was originally built by the Meiya people, but it was later occupied by humans.
After leaving Boqi's blacksmith shop, Ye Xiao followed Boqi's instructions and came to South City alone to find the ancient monument researcher Milad.
Along the way, Ye Xiao also saw all kinds of Meiya people coming and going.
Each of them had a huge identity information on their heads, which made Ye Xiao a little dazzled and a little novel.
Before, who could have imagined that he would see so many NPCs walking on the street in his lifetime? However
, along the way, Ye Xiao also discovered the identities of these Meiya people.
From the first time he met Remi in the Miasma Hidden Forest to the last time he met Boqi.
These NPCs basically have their own identities.
For example, Remi's name was preceded by Mushishi, not to mention the two in Linhai Village, the blacksmith and the village chief.
Even Pox from the Shadow Prison Organization was once the guard of the east gate of Liyue City.
And Pochi is a senior forging master in Liyue City.
But now, as he looked along the way, he found that all the NPCs he met basically only had their names displayed, and there was no other identity introduction in front of their names.
At first, Ye Xiao thought that these people did not serve as any NPC before the war to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, but just now he met an old woman with the name of ordinary people, which made him react.
It seems that these NPCs with only names displayed on their heads should have been born after the war to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, so there is no identity introduction.
And this surprising discovery made Ye Xiao have a new understanding of these NPCs.
For a long time, because the world of immortality has digitized humans, Ye Xiao always unconsciously regarded this place as a game world, at most a real game world.
In addition to humans, the rest of the creatures in the world of immortality, including NPCs, are just some worlds of this world.
But at this moment, he suddenly woke up. These NPCs in his eyes turned out to be living beings, and they were almost the same species as humans.
Of course, Ye Xiao would not have any special emotions because of this, but he just had a rather strange feeling.
Shaking his head, Ye Xiao shook off this weird idea.
Then, according to Boqi's instructions, he soon came to the place where the ancient monument researcher Milad lived.
However, when Ye Xiao saw the thatched house in front of him, which was a bit shabby and even covered with thick dust in the yard, his heart sank slightly.
According to Boqi, Milad has been obsessed with studying various ancient monuments since he was a child, and he often disappears without a trace.
Boqi also heard that he came back some time ago, so he asked Ye Xiao to try his luck.
If he is unlucky, then the matter of the black dragon scales can only be abandoned.
However, for Ye Xiao, since he knows the effect of the black dragon scales, he is unwilling to give up easily. Besides, since he is here, he has to try it.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao pushed open the shabby little iron door in front of him.
""Squeak!"
The small iron door made a harsh sound, and then fell to the ground with a clang in front of Ye Xiao's astonished eyes.
Ye Xiao was a little amused and helpless when he saw this scene.
Then, he came to the yard and looked around, but he didn't find any trace of life here.
Is it really gone?
""Excuse me, is Master Milad here?"
Ye Xiao called out, but there was no response for a long time.
This made Ye Xiao very disappointed. This was also his first NPC mission. Could it be that it would end in vain? He called out again unwillingly, but still got no response.
Ye Xiao sighed helplessly.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and then his consciousness sank into the Red Moon Space, and soon he saw the fat figure lying next to a pile of corpses.
He had forgotten that Xiao Jin was also a dragon, and a member of the golden dragon family with extremely noble blood.
If black dragon scales can increase the power of equipment, then wouldn't it be possible for a more noble golden dragon?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao looked at Xiao Jin with a little more eagerness.
However, just as Ye Xiao had this thought, Xiao Jin, who was dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Xiao with a vigilant look.
"What do you want to do?"
Ye Xiao coughed lightly, and didn't care about Xiao Jin's tone. Instead, he smiled and said,"Nothing, just came to see you."
Xiao Jin blinked his big copper bell-like eyes, and the huge dragon head slightly raised, revealing an extremely human contemptuous expression.
"Humph! You actually want my scales, you are not a good person."
Ye Xiao was stunned,"Can you detect my inner thoughts?"
Xiao Jin rolled his eyes,"I am one of the Seven Sacred Beasts. I just had never been out of the house before I met you, but it doesn't mean I'm stupid. I also heard your previous conversation with the old man. I can guess it with just a little brain, okay?"
Ye Xiao was a little embarrassed that he was actually played by this little guy. He is still as arrogant as ever.
But since the other party guessed it, Ye Xiao simply confessed:"Since you know everything, how about making a deal and contributing one of your scales to me?"
"I don't want it!"
Xiao Jin refused without hesitation.
However, Xiao Jin obviously understood his identity as a pet, so after a pause, he began to explain.
"Dragon scales are used to store energy. Losing one means losing this energy permanently, which has a great impact on strength. You don’t want to take me to fights in the future and let me hold you back, right?"
Ye Xiao wanted to say that your strength is not that bad, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
At this time, Xiao Jin said:"Besides, even if I am willing to give you the dragon scale, it will be useless."
"Oh? Why is that? Aren't you the strongest golden dragon of the dragon clan?"
Ye Xiao asked in confusion, and in return, Xiao Jin rolled his eyes again.
"I am the strongest golden dragon, but no matter if it is the scales of the golden dragon or other dragons, once they are pulled out, they will be useless and cannot enhance your human equipment at all. These are just rumors spread by those ignorant American people."
Ye Xiao frowned when he heard Xiao Jin's explanation.
"" Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
Xiao Jin blinked,"You didn't ask either."
As soon as the words came out, he saw that Ye Xiao showed signs of anger. Xiao Jin was a little scared and quickly added:"Besides, what the old man said is not wrong. What do you want me to say?"
Ye Xiao was a little confused by Xiao Jin's words.
Fortunately, Xiao Jin was somewhat aware of being a pet, and immediately explained
"I'm not lying to you. The scales of the dragon clan really have no effect on human equipment, but the black dragon is an exception. Strictly speaking, the black dragon has long been expelled from the dragon clan and is no longer a member of the dragon clan."
"Why is that?" Ye Xiao was a little curious.
Xiao Jin explained:"Because the blood of the black dragon has been polluted, it no longer has the pure blood of the dragon clan."
A strange idea suddenly popped up in Ye Xiao's mind.
Hybridization?
As a pet with a telepathic connection, Xiao Jin obviously saw what Ye Xiao was thinking and rolled his eyes again.
"Good man, your thoughts are very evil."
Ye Xiao said unhappily:"Isn't that what you said?"
The scolded Xiao Jin felt a little aggrieved,"What I meant by blood being polluted is that the Black Dragon Clan took the initiative to surrender to the evil ancient clan Xiling, in exchange for the ability far superior to that of all the giant dragons."
"We dragons are noble beings, how could we fancy other inferior species? That is the low taste of you humans and Meiya people."
Ye Xiao touched his nose awkwardly after hearing this. He didn't expect that he would be ridiculed by his own pet.
But what Xiao Jin said was also true. After all, the mixed-blood species has a long history.
But compared to this, Ye Xiao seemed to care more about what Xiao Jin said about the black dragon joining the ancient Xiling tribe.
After all, he was going to the Xiling ruins this time.
What is this ancient Xiling tribe?
In response to Ye Xiao's question, Xiao Jin shook his head and said,"When I was created, the ancient Xiling tribe had already disappeared from this continent, and I don't like to go out, so I always stay in my own territory and sleep, so I don't know much about the ancient Xiling tribe."
"Only through the dragon blood mark, I know some things about the ancient dragon clan. The black dragon lineage was originally the weakest among the dragon clan, and was often bullied by other dragons. Later, they somehow got in touch with the ancient Xiling clan, abandoned the pride and dignity of the dragon clan, merged with the evil spirit power of the ancient Xiling clan, and became an unrivaled existence in the eternal world at that time."
"Also���For this reason, black dragons can no longer be considered dragons in essence. Their scales contain extremely strong destructive power, especially against dragons. So the idea of using black dragon scales to forge weapons proposed by the old man just now was not wrong, but it would be ineffective to use my golden dragon scales."
After listening to Xiao Jin's explanation, Ye Xiao suddenly realized.
However, he still had some doubts in his heart, suspecting that Xiao Jin was reluctant to part with his own scales, which was why he had so many excuses.
Of course, it was not easy for Ye Xiao to verify this.
This little guy was still very arrogant. If you don't make him unhappy, you will have to coax him for a while.
But now that Milad is not here, where should he find the entrance to the Xiling ruins?
At this time, Xiao Jin suddenly said:"There is actually a person in the room, but I don't know if it is the one you are looking for. His life breath is very weak, and he seems to be dying."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Ye Xiao glared at the guy, and without thinking too much, he rushed into the house.
Xiao Jin felt a little aggrieved. Didn't he ask? Could he be blamed for this?
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Xiao entered the house, he saw a figure lying in the corner, with the identity of this person clearly written above him - Milad, an ancient monument researcher.
Ye Xiao's pupils shrank slightly. Milad's face was full of black air, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was intermittent. It was obvious that he was dying.
Ye Xiao hurriedly squatted in front of Milad and tried to wake him up.
However, at this moment, a strange scene appeared.
Milad, who seemed to be dying at any time, suddenly opened his eyes without any warning.
"What are you doing?"
After saying that, Milad sat up slowly.
What was going on?
If it weren't for the black air still wrapped around his face, Ye Xiao would even suspect that he had an illusion.
Milad, who sat up, ignored Ye Xiao's confusion, but looked at Ye Xiao back and forth with a pair of turbid eyes, and then spoke again.
"Human, you actually came to Spark City, you are really bold."
Thanks to the precautions given by Pochi in advance, Ye Xiao, who had come to his senses, was not surprised that Milad could recognize him, and immediately said:"Pochi asked me to find you."
Hearing Pochi's name, Milad seemed a little surprised,"The old guy asked you to come? What do you want to do?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao directly took out the exploration pointer that Pochi had given him in advance,"He said you will understand after seeing this."
The moment Milad saw the exploration pointer, he had narrowed his eyes.
At the same time, the black air that was wrapped around Milad's face disappeared completely in an instant. He took the exploration pointer with great energy and looked at it carefully. There was no trace of the dying state as before.
"This old guy finally took this thing out."
Then, Milad stood up excitedly and walked to the side. After searching here and there for a while, he came out with a bunch of bottles and jars. After putting these things away one by one, he said to Ye Xiao:"Let's go!"
""Hmm? Where to?" Ye Xiao was a little confused.
Milad was a little impatient,"You came to me just to go to the Xiling Ruins, right? Where else can you go?"
After saying that, Milad ignored Ye Xiao and walked out impatiently.
Seeing this, Ye Xiao had no choice but to follow him, and at the same time thought to himself: This is a weirdo.
At this time, he found that the progress of his mission had also changed.
------------------------------
【Mission progress changed: Please protect the ancient relics researcher Milad and go to the Xiling Ruins】
------------------------------
Looking at the task prompt, Ye Xiao couldn't help but wonder, the task actually asked him to protect Milad, which meant that he would encounter danger along the way?
At this moment, he suddenly thought of Milad's state just now, and his heart moved
"What happened to you just now?"
Milad heard this and explained without turning his head:"I am trying to break the curse of the ancient Xiling clan."
"Are you cursed?" Ye Xiao was a little surprised.
Milad nodded with a familiar expression.
"So you have cracked it now?"
Milad Zaba snorted,"Not yet."
Ye Xiao was confused,"Then you……"
Milad squinted at Ye Xiao,"Don't be so surprised. Although Xiling's curse is overbearing, I am not a pushover. I have been cursed by at least 800 people in this body. It's just a common thing. Although it cannot be solved for the time being, it is not easy to suppress it, right?"
Ye Xiao heard this and suddenly had a different understanding of Milad's ability. However, he thought of a question and couldn't help asking,"Did you get cursed in the ruins of Xiling?"
Milad said unhappily,"Didn't I say that I have been cursed by at least 800 people. I am so experienced, how could I be cursed so carelessly?"
Ye Xiao rolled his eyes inwardly.
He was cursed, but he was still bragging.
Milad saw Ye Xiao's expression and immediately quit,"What's that expression? I planted this curse on my body specifically to study Xiling's curse. How can I break it otherwise?"
"Well……"
Ye Xiao was really shocked.
Could this be the legendary Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs?
At this moment, Milad seemed to remember something, and then took out a gray bottle with a pungent smell and threw it to Ye Xiao.
"I was always interrupted by you. I almost forgot that if I don't want to be cursed by those things in the Xiling Ruins, I should remember to eat them later."
Ye Xiao took it doubtfully and then checked it.
------------------------------
【Curse-Cleansing Potion: After taking it, you will be immune to any curse. Duration: 10 minutes】
------------------------------
Ye Xiao's eyes lit up.
It turned out to be a curse immunity potion, this is a good thing.
You know, curses are a special means that people often can't defend against. Once you are cursed, even if the effect of the curse is very weak, it is still quite troublesome to be cursed.
I didn't expect that Milad actually has such a skill. I underestimated him before.
