There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 778 - 664 The Grudge Between the Dragon Clan and the Elf Clan
Chapter 778: Chapter 664 The Grudge Between the Dragon Clan and the Elf Clan
After a temporary truce, the three of them gathered around the barbecue grill, staring at the several-hundred-kilogram roast wild boar.
Of course, the loyal Sun Knights would not allow their pontiff to sit on the ground, so they specially moved an ornately carved and comfy hoop-back chair.
Zuo Fang actually wanted to sit as well.
However, after looking around, he sadly realized that his status did not qualify him to sit beside the Pope, and he didn’t want to sit on the ground either, so in the end, he chose to stand, though reluctantly.
Xu Shuo leaned back lazily on the chair, crossed his legs, and leisurely watched the youth sitting cross-legged in front of him busily handle the wild boar.
Actually, when he first saw him, Xu Shuo had not recognized Luo Kun.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
Because the grey gradient layer made the facial features less distinct, yet the frenzied way the other party charged over was indeed familiar. Then he remembered Zuo Fang’s assessment of this dragon.
With a little thought, Xu Shuo uncertainly remembered someone.
Later, when the excited youth calmed down, the tone of his speech and his gaze directly confirmed Xu Shuo’s guess.
How unlucky.
Why did he encounter Luo Kun upon playing a faction scenario?
He would never play a faction scenario again!
It had been a long time since Xu Shuo had secretly checked Luo Kun’s player information, so he wasn’t quite clear how many scenarios the fellow had played to actually catch up to his third-level assessment progress.
But looking at the youngster’s performance now…
He must have suffered in other scripts.
Xu Shuo had previously seen that in the first and second-level scripts, Luo Kun really acted recklessly, without any regard for consequences, doing whatever he pleased and the crimes he committed were innumerable!
It was like when they met again for the first time in “Free Night,” because of one character setting, the guy completely ignored the main quest and tried every possible method to kill the strongest combat force in his own faction.
It is evident that for Luo Kun, the Script World was really just a place to act unscrupulously.
In that period, lower-ranked players in the forums all wailed, praying fervently that they would not encounter this madman.
Whether as an enemy or an ally, no player wanted to come across him.
But the current Luo Kun.
Appears not to be as crazy as before.
Second-level players, although still considered weak in the Script Space, actually possess certain combat abilities, and they have garnered quite a few techniques as well.
Especially players in the later stages of level two, even when facing ordinary Abyss monsters, they could come out unscathed.
Even more so for someone like Zuo Fang, who has a mentor’s guidance and secret weapons thanks to being a second-generation gamer.
If Luo Kun continued acting as wildly as before, sooner or later, he was bound to hit a hard barrier, and not just one.
Looking at the kid’s current state, he seems to have calmed down a lot compared to before.
Whether it’s an act or not.
At least he’s starting to take the role to heart.
“Your Holiness, would you like some?”
Suddenly, Luo Kun, who was skinning the boar, cut off a piece of pork, skewered it with his dagger, and teasingly offered it to Xu Shuo with a grin.
Although the flames had been fierce just now, since the roasting time was not long, only the boar’s skin and the second layer of meat had been charred; the inner meat was still delicious.
Xu Shuo looked at the fragrant slice of wild pork and indifferently turned his head away.
“The Pope doesn’t want any? Then how about you, Knight?”
Luo Kun was not annoyed, his face still wearing a bright smile, as he turned to look at Zuo Fang standing aside.
But Zuo Fang was even colder, “Cut the chitchat, hurry up and eat your food. We’ll talk business after you’re done.”
“Alright, alright~”
The youth shrugged, ate the piece of pork on his dagger, and then those sparkling red eyes turned towards the several-hundred-kilogram wild boar.
Xu Shuo, sitting in his chair, suddenly became alert, and the Power of Light all over his body began to stir.
In the next moment, a majestic dragon’s roar thundered through the Underground Temple!
Following the roar that resembled an ancient behemoth, a huge black shadow was cast on the corridor wall, thick with the smell of blood and the sea.
But like a fleeting shadow, before the Sun Knights standing not far away could react, the shadow disappeared.
“Awoo!”
Luo Kun patted his still-flat stomach, burped, and said with a smile, “Done eating, let’s talk.”
Zuo Fang: “…”
Zuo Fang felt his vision blur for a moment, and then the several-hundred-kilogram roasted wild boar had vanished, and the Blood Qi on the young man seemed to have grown slightly stronger.
The belated realization made him wonder whether the giant dragon clan needed to eat food to increase their strength?
But on the way there, this dragon had never swallowed anything whole like that.
Was that action a show of force?
Or a demonstration of his worth?
While Zuo Fang brainstormed, Xu Shuo, who was sitting beside, had also packed away the Power of Light and watched the young man unobtrusively.
He then spoke, “Now, let’s start with your intent. What do you want to achieve by coming to the human continent from Black Dragon Island?”
Luo Kun, who was licking his fingers, looked at him in surprise, “Eh? Isn’t it you, the Pope, who’s looking for me?”
Xu Shuo’s expression remained unchanged, “I am looking for you, but that is one thing; your appearance here is another. If you cannot articulate a reason, then there’s no need to continue our collaboration. I think this dragon is unruly…”
“The Black Dragon Clan is nearly extinct, and I need to come up and seek someone to continue the lineage,” Luo Kun replied, cutting him off.
“Pff cough…”
Zuo Fang choked on his own saliva.
He couldn’t help but size up the youth in shocked disbelief.
This dragon currently looks to be only about fourteen or fifteen years old, although I know that early marriage and early pregnancy are the norms in this world, this really isn’t alchemy…
No, the point is, can this dragon even give birth?
That’s not right either, the point is, humans and dragons can actually…?!
Zuo Fang remembered that this dragon had previously claimed to be the last dragon in the world. Although the truth of that information was still unknown, in any case, if its purpose in coming to the continent was to pass on its lineage, wouldn’t that mean it could only find humans?
Xu Shuo looked at him with a strange expression and suddenly asked, “How old are you this year?”
Luo Kun curled up the corners of his mouth, “Three hundred and seventy-nine.”
Xu Shuo: “…”
Xu Shuo pressed his emotions of regret back down and nodded indifferently, but thinking about the news from Black Dragon Island, this dragon might have just recently transformed into human form.
So if the age begins counting from the transformation, does that mean it is only two days old?
Not sure if that’s how it works.
Zuo Fang couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked another question, “Do you mean to find a human to have children with? Can the Dragon Clan’s bloodline continue through humans?”
Luo Kun looked at him and suddenly raised a sly smile, “If you really want to know, I can find you to do it too.”
Zuo Fang: “…”
The choked Zuo Fang rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and silently moved a bit behind Xu Shuo’s chair, his stiff demeanor as if devoid of emotion.
Xu Shuo’s gaze stayed on the youth.
In his sight, the grey on the youth’s body was much deeper than that of ordinary people.
Apart from the color of the clothes, other people’s skin showed a light white grey, but the youth’s was as grey as a black person’s, and this was also the reason Xu Shuo didn’t recognize Luo Kun straight away.
Apart from the blurry impression debuff, he truly couldn’t see the face clearly.
Xu Shuo observed the deep grey skin, underneath which a darker color seemed to be flowing as if it were moving veins.
Just now when the black dragon swallowed in one gulp.
That flowing black became active.
Is it the Black Dragon’s Vitality and Blood Power?
Xu Shuo wasn’t a dragon, and the Holy Court’s records of the giant dragon race weren’t detailed, so he couldn’t guess much, but he was certain that the dragon in front of him wouldn’t resort to reproduction to pass on its descendants.
Firstly, disregarding whether Luo Kun would do such a thing…
If it really came down to that, this script would probably need to be censored.
And that task would be absurdly outrageous.
“Such a preposterous task… is it self-assigned?” Zuo Fang also asked suspiciously.
“Asking so much, do you want to help me?” Luo Kun lazily glanced at him.
“Heh heh.”
Zuo Fang gave a dry laugh.
He looked towards Xu Shuo, and the two exchanged a brief glance—side mission.
It wasn’t strange for the script to have side missions.
And some players, in order to get rewards, even tried hard to uncover those side missions; Zuo Fang was also quite curious about how this young man had dug up the “passing on descendants” side mission.
He didn’t think about the Character Card for now.
After all, he hadn’t gone through it.
“Besides that purpose, what else?”
Zuo Fang used a threatening tone, “I refuse to believe that you came to the human continent just to have little dragon whelps, and it’s too much of a coincidence that you appear at this critical time. If you can’t provide a solid reason, then there’s no need for cooperation. I think this dragon is too defiant, better just kill it and have it with liquor!”
Luo Kun didn’t interrupt him this time, serenely watching Zuo Fang repeat the words Xu Shuo had said before, with a bizarre smile always on his face.
And that look in his eyes, as if watching a clown performing.
They seemed to have repeated what others said quite a few times.
What’s with this love for being a parrot?
After he finished speaking, Luo Kun looked at Xu Shuo and said, “A thousand years ago, the giant dragon race was instigated by the Elves to participate in the war of faith. However, the God of Light’s power was too much for the Elf Clan to withstand, and the Dragon Clan was also retaliated against as a result, ending with heavy casualties and death.”
Xu Shuo nodded calmly, “Then what?”
Luo Kun continued, “The giant dragon race could have stayed out of it; it was the Elf Clan that caused them to face the crisis of extinction. Since then, it’s been difficult for dragon offspring to be born.”
Xu Shuo propped his chin, “And then?”
Luo Kun’s gaze burned into him, “Nowadays, there’s only one dragon left in the world. If I die, then there will truly be no more dragons.”
“Get to the point,” Xu Shuo said impassively.
“How can you still be this impatient,” Luo Kun said as he revealed that bizarre, radiant smile again, cheerily adding, “So of course the Dragon Clan must seek revenge!”
Xu Shuo glanced at him, “I also thought you simply wouldn’t care about those things, otherwise how did you become so good at talking nonsense.”
Ha, if you’re not afraid of losing deduction points, just say your main task directly!
Taking such a long detour before speaking, isn’t it just to avoid losing points?
But Luo Kun has indeed already brought up the main point.
——Revenge on the Elf Clan!
That would certainly mean no cooperation with the opposing side.
And the Elf Clan and the Holy See of Light definitely could not possibly cooperate.
So it’s crystal clear who the antagonist is.
