Reader: The Call of the Artifact
Du Ze opened his eyes and saw Xiu's perfect chin. He was using Xiu's thighs as a pillow and his clothes were dry. Xiu must have helped him put them on.
However, there was no discomfort in his body. It was obvious that he had undergone a zero-point restoration. Xiu was motionless, looking in one direction, as if lost in thought. Du Ze looked down and saw the blonde youth's bandaged chest. There was blood oozing from the wound, and it was obvious that the wound had split open again. As for the reason for the split …
Hehe.
Thinking of yesterday's disharmonious scene, some silly, cute person wanted to cover his face. He had rolled in the sheets with the Moe Lord, not only in the wild, but also with Xiu's wound. It was crazy. But if he could do it all over again, Du Ze would have to admit that he couldn't refuse the Moe Lord's request.
Because Xiu gave him the feeling that this person had no sense of security.
Every word of the Moe Lord poked the diehard fan's weak spot, so the silly, cute reader could only lie down and let himself be crushed.
Du Ze got up from Xiu's lap. Xiu turned his head and watched Du Ze fumble for his glasses and headphones. His eyes were a gentle blue. Being stared at like that, some silly, cute person felt slightly uncomfortable. As if trying to escape the ambiguous and sticky atmosphere, he stiffly picked a topic.
"What were you looking at just now?"
"There was a sound …" Xiu said uncertainly: "It seemed like someone was calling me. Can you hear it?"
Du Ze shook his head. But even if he doesn't have the advantage of spoilers, some silly, cute person can judge from his years of experience that this is definitely the call of the Artifact/God Beast/Goddess. Four melodramatic plots: Jumping off a cliff, cheap teacher, a beautiful woman, the call of the Artifact. Those lonely Artifact/God Beast/Goddess have been lonely in a little-known place for thousands of years, waiting for such a protagonist to respawn. Then, as if injected with chicken blood, they send a series of love calls: Come on ~ hero, love me!
Just as the silly, cute reader was feeling proud of himself for seeing through the author's plot, he heard his Moe Lord say: "It's noisy."
Du Ze seemed to hear the sound of the Artifact's glass heart breaking.
"Do you know what it is?"
Du Ze could only shake his head. He hesitated for a moment and decided to confess.
"I don't know a lot of things now."
I know a lot. You can use me.
This was the reason why Xiu was willing to keep him around in the first place. Du Ze eagerly looked at Xiu. In his eyes, Xiu's expression was still soft. The blond, blue-eyed youth even looked a little … happy? Du Ze had thought of many reactions from Xiu, but he had never guessed that Xiu would have this kind of reaction. Some silly, cute person was at a loss. After hearing that he had no value, why did Xiu become happy?
Xiu seemed to see through Du Ze's uneasiness and confusion. He stretched out his hand and ran his fingertips over the back of Du Ze's neck.
"You just have to stay by my side, that's enough." Xiu curved his lips. "You said you wanted to see me become a god."
I want to see you become a god.
Du Ze's heartbeat began to accelerate. He remembered the feeling of his blood vessels swelling. Xiu would become a Supreme God. Du Ze had been convinced from beginning to end. Then some silly, cute person began to feel annoyed. He had read too little of "Mixed Blood." Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, that bastard, was still laying the groundwork. The information about God was only the tip of the iceberg. There was no mention of how a person could become a god. Du Ze suddenly thought of a person. That green-clothed bastard who always held a book, wasn't he a genuine Demon God!? Damn, Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, you're good. That unscrupulous merchant was preparing for this moment!
After thinking about everything, Du Ze began to talk to Xiu: "You can summon Dan. He knows the way to become a god."
Xiu pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement with Du Ze's proposal. He did not take out the note to summon Dan. Instead, he directly said: "Dantalin."
Du Ze was stunned. How did Xiu know Dan's name?
"Last time in the Gnome Ruins, in order to open the wheel of time, I summoned Dan to help me." Xiu dispelled Du Ze's doubts. "When he left, he told me his name."
Was it the time he was sucked into the wheel of time? Du Ze suddenly felt that he seemed to have missed a lot of things. He didn't feel much in the wheel of time, but when he saw that Xiu seemed to remember bad memories, Du Ze finally realized that four years, which seemed to him to be just a flash, was unforgettable for the person in front of him.
In a town somewhere in the Yuehua Empire, a green-clothed merchant closed his book in boredom. In front of him were large and small boxes and boxes. The people coming and going were in a hurry, and everyone's face was full of panic. They didn't notice Dan, who was setting up a stall.
"I heard that the Beastmen have broken through the line of defense of Salem …"
"By the God of Light, those barbaric beasts have the protection of God …"
"It's not just protection, someone saw the traces of the Beast God, that's why the line of defense of Salem was broken so quickly …"
"How can people fight against God? God of Light, are you going to abandon your poor believers … "
Whispers from all directions entered Dan's ears. Dan looked at the two moons in the sky that were about to be covered by the sun. At this time, one purple and one yellow moon had intersected, each occupying half of the other. Dan patted the book on his face to hide his expression.
The Primal Chaos Continent will soon be in chaos.
Suddenly, Dan put down the book. He heard a long-lost call, but he couldn't enter that place in his current form.
It's a pity. I'll wait for His Highness to come out and play with him. Dan thought, then opened the book again.
Xiu and Du Ze waited for a long time, but Dan still didn't appear. For God, no matter where their name is called, they can hear it. Right now, they don't know if Dan doesn't want to come or if he can't come at all. Du Ze thought of the sea above his head and felt that the latter was more likely.
The canyon in the deep sea was such a strange place, but Du Ze couldn't guess which instance of "Mixed Blood" it was. Xiu seemed to be annoyed by the persistent call of the artifact. They discussed it and decided to find out – Du Ze didn't know why he felt that Xiu wasn't going to collect the artifact, but to eliminate the source of the noise.
Xiu summoned the unicorn and Du Ze, who was rescuing Fat Chirp from its bandages, mounted the unicorn. The Unicorn was already quite calm when it saw Du Ze. At most, it would look at him resentfully, before carrying the two of them and running towards a mountain peak. As they got closer to the sea, Du Ze could see some small glowing creatures in the water. It was a group of fluorescent jellyfish with long tentacles floating in the air. Even though Du Ze had seen the grandeur of the Gnome Ruins, the fantasy of the Elven Kingdom, and the magnificence of the Sky City, he was still shocked by this beautiful scene.
With a leap, the unicorn jumped down from the cave at the top of the mountain. At that moment, the unicorn turned into a nightmare. Relying on the mountain wall and its gravity-defying properties, it bounced back and forth until it landed at the bottom. Light shone down from the hole above, illuminating only Xiu and Du Ze's position. Xiu cast light magic and more than a dozen balls of light floated up and flew in all directions, instantly illuminating the whole cave.
Under the illumination of the balls of light, a huge black creature appeared in front of the two people. It was a black dragon. It stretched out its black wings and raised its neck high, clearly showing a silver-blue dragon spear inserted deep into its reverse scale – all dragons have a white reverse scale the size of a palm under their necks, which is the biggest weakness of a dragon. The entire black dragon's movements froze in that instant. Its black scales reflected fine light under the illumination of the ball of light, looking as if it was still alive. However, the dragon spear deeply embedded in the black dragon's body meant that it could not still be alive.
The whole scene was shocking and heart-wrenching. Du Ze looked at the black dragon. Its front claws were stretched out as if to catch someone. Its taut muscles showed its anger and unwillingness. Xiu's eyes fell on the silver-blue dragon spear. It was the dragon spear that had been calling out to him.
Xiu led Du Ze down from the unicorn and the two of them walked towards the black dragon. When they got closer, they found that the black dragon's body was unusually large. Du Ze was only half the size of the dragon's claw. He touched the black dragon's scales with his hand. They were as hard as armor. Xiu climbed onto the black dragon's front claw. He stood on its front claw and the silver-blue dragon spear was in front of him.
The call in his mind became stronger. Xiu pressed his temples, frowned, and grabbed the handle of the dragon spear.
The noisy voices quieted down for a moment. Xiu put down his hands from his head and grasped the dragon spear with both hands. A feeling of blood mingling came from under his palms, as if the dragon spear had become a part of his body. Xiu was slightly startled. This dragon spear knew him, or rather, it knew some kind of blood in his body.
By the time he realized it, Xiu had already pulled out the dragon spear. Below, Du Ze suddenly felt that the black scales were no longer like cold steel. They began to warm and vibrate, as if they were … alive. Before Du Ze could react, Xiu jumped down from above and carried him into the distance.
"Hilda –"
A thunderous roar resounded through the cave. Du Ze was shocked to see the black dragon come to life and spread its wings to the extreme – was the black dragon still alive?! Xiu stared at the black dragon's reverse scale. There was no wound there. The dragon spear in his hand told him the reason: this silver-blue dragon spear can cut through time, not matter. The previous holder of the spear had inserted the dragon spear into the black dragon's body but did not kill it, only sealing it.
After the black dragon shouted a name, it looked around with a moment of astonishment, as if it did not know why it was here. When the black dragon saw Xiu and Du Ze, it slammed its front claws into the stone ground and stretched out its long neck to look down at the two people below.
"Where is Hilda? Tell me where Hilda is! "
Du Ze discovered that the black dragon was blind in one eye. A long knife mark had cut across its left eye. The black dragon saw the dragon spear in Xiu's hand with its remaining right eye and its expression became grim.
"You're actually able to carry it? What is your relationship with Hilda? Are you her new dragon knight? "
The black dragon angrily opened its mouth as if to swallow Xiu.
"First the elves, now the humans! Why does Hilda always sign a contract with you little creatures?! She even attacked me! You are not worthy of Hilda, she is mine! "
At first, Du Ze thought that the person called Hilda was the black dragon's enemy because the black dragon's first roar was full of rage. But now, the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. That Hilda seemed to be a female dragon, and the black dragon obviously liked Hilda. Hilda probably sealed it here after finding trouble.
Xiu's voice was very calm in the face of the black dragon's roar. "I don't know Hilda."
"Only the Hilda family and their dragon knights can pick up this dragon spear!"
Du Ze's heart suddenly beat fast. Xiu is not a dragon knight yet, so he must be related to Hilda. Judging from the black dragon's words, Hilda seems to be with an elf – isn't this the same elf and dragon mural that the Moe Lord saw in the Time Corridor?! Xiu also seemed to remember the mural in the Time Corridor. He couldn't help but look at the dragon spear in his hand. The dragon named Hilda is his …
Seeing that Xiu did not respond, the black dragon was about to explode when it heard the sound of wings flapping above. A golden dragon flapped its wings and landed. It looked at the black dragon and narrowed its eyes slightly. This was just the beginning. Then, one after another, dragons of different colors fell from above. Du Ze never thought he would see so many dragons. The dragons occupied every corner of the cave, their wings folded on both sides, their hind claws firmly grasping the protrusions of the cave, and together they surrounded the black dragon.
"So you are not dead, Mo 'er."
The first golden dragon said. The black dragon looked at the golden dragon and continued to interrogate Xiu: "Where is Hilda?"
The golden dragon was angered by the black dragon's attitude and raised its voice: "Hilda is dead!"
This time it was the black dragon who was enraged. It roared: "Shut up! How could Hilda be dead?! "
"Hilda is dead, Mo 'er. When you helped the red dragon eat her dragon knight, you had already driven her to a dead end." The golden dragon's voice was full of sarcasm: "After Hilda stabbed the dragon spear into your body, she went after the elf."
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll bite your neck off!"
The black dragon stared fiercely at the golden dragon. The golden dragon also stared back angrily.
"Hilda is dead, I saw it with my own eyes! She dug out her reverse scale and bled for three days and three nights. She stayed by the elf's mutilated body and cried, and no one was allowed to get close! "
Without the slightest pause, the black dragon pounced on the golden dragon. There was a commotion among the surrounding dragons. Several dragons who were on good terms with the golden dragon jumped down and joined the battle. Even though it was besieged by several dragons, the black dragon did not fall into a disadvantageous position. It was like a madman, chasing after the golden dragon and biting him. Even if it had to pay the price of a few holes in its wings, it must make a wound on the golden dragon's body.
The battle between the dragons affected the whole cave. Xiu led Du Ze around to avoid the gravel and the dragon's breath. "Boom!" The golden dragon was suddenly thrown against the mountain wall above them. Scarlet dragon blood sprayed directly on the two of them. Du Ze's glasses were blood red. He could not see that the black dragon had hit the golden dragon almost in the blink of an eye. The mountain wall trembled and the whole mountain began to fall apart.
"Boom!"
The high mountain collapsed into a pile of rubble. The dragons climbed out of the rubble. Under the protection of their hard scales, the stones could not hurt them. The scarred golden dragon got up from the stone. At a glance, it saw the equally wounded black dragon not far away. The black dragon was staring at a certain point. Even though the golden dragon was biting its neck, the black dragon was still looking straight ahead.
The golden dragon narrowed its eyes. In its wide field of vision, there was a silver light. A silver dragon poked its head out of the rubble. It had a hard dorsal fin, eyes like red agate, and fine silver scales. The golden dragon involuntarily loosened its mouth and cried out in astonishment, "Hilda …?"
The silver dragon glanced at the golden dragon and then continued to carefully get up from the rubble. Its movements were quite clumsy, like a newborn dragon that could not control its body well. When the silver dragon finally pushed away all the rubble on its body, all the dragons could see that it was carefully protecting a black-haired human under its body.
The golden dragon was stunned for a moment. Even though it looked similar, the silver dragon was not Hilda. It was just about to bite off the black dragon's neck when it heard an old voice: "Stop."
An amethyst dragon slowly fell from the air. It was very old and its trembling posture seemed to break at any time. All the dragons were very respectful to the amethyst dragon. Even though the golden dragon was very unwilling, it did not continue to move. The black dragon finally came back to its senses. It looked at the amethyst dragon with a little pleading and expectation in its eyes.
The amethyst dragon stared at the black dragon and its voice was almost a sigh: "Mo 'er, Crell is right. Hilda is dead."
The black dragon looked at the silver dragon and then at the amethyst dragon. Its only eye was full of despair.
"Hilda … is dead …?"
"You killed her!" The golden dragon spat out a mouthful of blood and said in revenge. Under the disapproving gaze of the amethyst dragon, the golden dragon was unhappy but did not speak.
"You can go to the dragon tomb to visit her." The amethyst dragon sighed: "Go and apologize to her. Since she did not kill you, she must want to forgive you."
The black dragon did not hesitate at all. It spread its bloody wings and flew to the dragon tomb. It flew very fast. As long as it reached the dragon tomb one step earlier, it could prove that this was just a lie.
The golden dragon said that Hilda was dead, but the black dragon did not believe it.
The amethyst dragon said that Hilda was dead, but the black dragon did not believe it.
However, when the black dragon saw the familiar body, it finally believed it.
Just as the Golden Dragon had said, the Silver Dragon coiled around a broken blood-colored skeleton, and time was frozen at that moment. The black dragon stared blankly at all this. He liked Hilda very much since he was a child, but whether it was in the past or now, there was never any room for him to intervene between Hilda and the elf.
The one-eyed Black Dragon lowered his head and wept sadly.
Du Ze wiped the blood off his glasses and saw that he was in the arms of a huge silver dragon. Some silly, cute person immediately short-circuited. Xiu squinted at Du Ze, who was staring at him foolishly. His body was full of the smell of other dragons' blood, which was unpleasant.
The silver dragon bent its neck and was about to stick out its tongue to erase the smell when it heard a dragon coming towards them.
The amethyst dragon came to Xiu and Du Ze. It looked at Xiu, its eyes full of surprise.
"Child, welcome back to Dragon Island."
The author has something to say: Last chapter, I felt like I received a congratulatory telegram from every province.
In the next chapter, the author will lose his integrity. Well, it is said that dragons have two ding dongs …
