According to the address that Sangina had given us, we found a small house in the middle of the Dark Alley District. There were two dragons carved crudely on the gate of the courtyard, but they looked like starving bats. There was no doubt that this was Sangina and Sona's home. However, no one came out after we knocked on the door for a long time.
"There's no one at home," Shallow Shallow mumbled in disappointment. She scratched the door, "Should we come back in the afternoon? We will be leaving in two days. I feel that we should at least say goodbye to Sangina and Sona before we leave. "
Before I could say anything, Liliana wrinkled her nose and leaned against the courtyard gate. She frowned as if she had smelled something. "There are two people inside. But they don't look good. They look weak. Let's go in and take a look! "
We were stunned when Liliana said that. However, I didn't doubt her words. She wouldn't make a mistake in this aspect. I nodded. Just as I was about to lift my leg, Icetis took out a mace with a bright smile. "I will open the door!"
Sandora took the mace and hit Icetis's head with her fist. There weren't many people who could control Icetis, and Sandora was one of them. Then, we jumped over the wall. We couldn't tear down someone else's house, right?
Sangina and Sona's place wasn't big. It was a small courtyard. Half of it was empty, and the other half was the most common flat roof house in the Dark Alley District. The house seemed to be divided into two parts. One half was a semi-open kitchen, and the other half was probably the living quarters. The yard was very clean. The ground looked as if it had just been leveled yesterday, and it still had the color of fresh soil. The walls of the yard were made of stones (this world seemed to have an abundance of stones. Even in a place like the Dark Alley District, there were enough stones to build houses and pave the ground), and there were some rattan racks hanging on the walls. The racks were used to dry processed animal hides and some plant stems that we couldn't see any use for. In the corner of the yard, we also saw all kinds of miscellaneous items. There were wooden boards, stones, and metal pieces. They were all things that we couldn't see, but they seemed to have been carefully selected. It gave the impression that this was a place where scavengers lived. Apart from the space taken up by those items, the courtyard wasn't that big. With more than ten of us standing in the courtyard, we felt like we couldn't move around. It was obvious how cramped this place was.
Liliana pointed at the house that was made of stones, wood, and grayish-white mortar. "There are people in there. Their vital signs are weak, but they seem to be more stable than before."
We wanted to go there, but my sister stopped us. "Let Ah Jun and Liliana go there. Don't you see how many of us are here?"
I turned to look at her. If we were to walk on the street, it would be enough to be reposted on Weibo. If that house could support half of us, we should apply for compensation. In the end, everyone stayed in the courtyard. Only Liliana and I sneaked up to the house like thieves. I was about to knock on the door, but I changed my mind and pushed it. As expected, the door opened. The simple wooden door didn't look like it had a lock. Speaking of which, it didn't seem like there was a need for locks in the Dark Alley. The people here were all like that. Who would dare to steal?
"Shakina? Sona? Are you here? " I asked as I walked inside. Although I was concerned, I felt like I was trespassing on someone's property. I felt a little embarrassed. What surprised me was that the house wasn't messy at all. Even though it was in a dilapidated area like the Dark Alley, and the house looked shabby from the outside, the house was surprisingly clean. The simple furniture was spotless. It was obvious that the owner of the house had cleaned it up yesterday. There was even a faint fragrance in the air. The fragrance came from a bunch of wildflowers on the small table in the middle of the house. There was an old dressing table on the side facing the sun. There were a few unknown bottles on it. It was obvious that they were for girls. Did Shakina and Sona use cosmetics too? But it was different from when I saw them in the ruins of the ancient city. Their faces were covered in dirt from the explosion that I caused.
The two dracon girls were lying on the low bed on the other side of the house. They seemed to have lost consciousness and were in a coma.
"Shakina, Sona!" I quickly ran over and called out their names. Of course, there was no response. I noticed that the two of them were still wearing pajamas. Alright, it could be pajamas. After all, I wasn't sure what pajamas looked like in this world. But the light clothes didn't seem like they were worn outside. If they were wearing pajamas, it meant that the two of them hadn't woken up since last night. Shakina's face was as pale as paper. Although I couldn't tell if she was in pain, her body was frighteningly cold. Sona's condition was even worse. She had bitten her lips until they bled.
"Liliana, what's going on?" The two of them seemed to be in an emergency situation. But I wasn't too nervous. They were still breathing. Also, I had a SemiGod with me, so there wasn't any danger.
"They seem to have been poisoned. There are toxins in their blood and bone marrow." Liliana glanced at them casually and confirmed their symptoms. Then, she condensed a green light on her hand and covered their foreheads. "It's strange. The toxins have penetrated deep into their bodies. But they weren't poisoned through food or other means. It seems that the toxins came from their bodies. Hmm, it seems to be an emergency, but their bodies seem to have antibodies. They should be able to survive on their own. Well, I know, I know. Of course, I will cure them. "
This was Liliana's problem. Even when she started working, she would grumble for a long time in order to increase her sense of existence. She seemed to always be worried that her sense of existence wasn't enough. While she was talking, the green halo had already spread in the air. The surroundings were filled with the fragrance of plants and the smell of sunshine. The green light gradually sank into the pale skin of the two dracon girls. After a few seconds, Shakina's eyelids first trembled before they slowly opened. Then, Sona also regained consciousness.
"Ugh …" Shakina groaned in pain. Even though she opened her eyes, it took her a long time to focus her gaze. She looked at the figure in front of her in confusion. She didn't seem to understand why there was someone else in her house. "Err, is it over … Hmm? Chen … is it an illusion? That's strange. Why did I see him in an illusion? "
"Cough, cough. It's not an illusion. I am in your house." I scratched my head and couldn't help but say.
Shakina's eyes instantly widened and she exclaimed, "Ah! Why are you here?! " Thus, even Sona, who was next to her, completely woke up. The two dracon girls stared at me with their golden vertical pupils. I grinned and explained, "Didn't you say that we could come and look for you anytime? We might have to leave in a few days, so we wanted to greet you today. However, when we knocked on the door, no one answered. We felt that there might be a problem, so … You don't mind me trespassing right?"
Shakina's brain seemed to still be working at full speed. After hearing what I said, she took a few seconds before replying. She nodded, "Oh, so that's how it is. We are fine. It's just some side effects."
The two dracon girls quickly recovered. I relaxed and took out two bottles of refreshing herbal tea made by Anveena from my personal space. "Drink some water first. Unscrew the cap and you will be fine. What's going on with you guys? How did you get poisoned? "
Sona took the bottle and thanked me before saying softly, "Didn't we say that we were once treated as a medicine pot by a mage for many years? We faked our death and escaped. This is the side effect. The poison in our body will act up after a certain period of time. It has been many years now. That's why we have to carefully plan the time when we go out to explore to prevent ourselves from losing consciousness in the dangerous historical remains. Actually, it's not a big deal. After such a long time, our bodies should have adapted to it. The dracon's physique is very strong. "
Sona said it casually as though reliving the feeling of dying from the poison every few days was a part of her daily life. I frowned before smiling, "However, you don't have to worry about it anymore. The problem with your body has already been resolved."
Sona's movements froze. She and Shakina asked in unison, "What did you say?"
"The poison in your body should have been completely cleared, including the side effects." I first looked at Liliana. After getting confirmation from her, I said to the two dracon girls with certainty, "Don't you feel any changes?"
Shakina frowned as she raised her arm to take a look. She said uncertainly, "It seems to be a little easier. After the side effects are gone, the speed of recovery is much faster than before." As she said that, she turned to look at the sky outside and exclaimed, "So early? Or is it morning?! "
"Don't look at me." Noticing that the two dracon girls were looking at me fervently, I immediately pushed Liliana forward. "Let me introduce you. This is Liliana, my sister. She is the one who cured your illness. This is what she is best at."
Liliana immediately adjusted her expression and made a solemn expression. She crossed her hands in front of her chest and said, "Remember the Goddess' grace. This is her power. Do you want a bible? It's eight dollars each. You can get a discount if you buy two or more … "
"She took too much cold medicine when she was young." I casually threw Liliana to the side and explained to the two dracon girls. The other party obviously wasn't paying attention to Liliana's sales pitch or my explanation. They still had a look of disbelief on their faces. Shakina was tongue-tied as she said, "The poison in our body … was cured? How did you do it? All the pharmacists were helpless … "
"You forgot about that castle." I smiled mysteriously at Shakina, reminding her that she should get used to the unbelievable things that we had brought. "Being with us is a time to witness miracles every day. Alright, now that you have recovered, why don't you change your clothes first? "
I turned my head slightly and pointed at their bodies. The two Dracon girls were still wearing their pajamas. Although they weren't completely exposed, the thin fabric was still able to expose the wearer's figure. Furthermore, the neckline of their pajamas was quite low to begin with, so their careless movements almost exposed their bodies. Perhaps it was because they often worked out, but the two girls' figures were quite good. Although the scales on their skin looked a little weird … Cough, cough, I wasn't looking randomly. I could swear to Dingdang that once I realized that something was wrong, I decisively shifted my gaze. You have to know — — there were more than ten members of the Women's Promotion Association waiting outside.
"Ah!" Sona immediately exclaimed softly. She covered her chest and looked over awkwardly. Shakina shrugged and jumped off the bed to find her clothes while muttering, "Let's just look. We are wearing clothes. Also, he wanted to see enough when we were unconscious … Ahh … Bang! "Before Shakina could finish her sentence, her legs swayed and she fell to the ground.
"Shakina!" Sona immediately exclaimed. However, the result was the same when she jumped off the bed. Her legs swayed and she fell as though she was drunk. However, she was lucky as there was a cushion underneath her. I quickly went forward to help the two of them up. I thought that the poison in their bodies hadn't been cleansed yet. However, Shakina waved her hand and said, "Don't panic. We are fine. It's our tail. It's our tail."
"Tail?" Liliana and I were puzzled.
Shakina twisted her body and showed me her thick lizard-like tail that was covered in scales. "You can try sleeping on your back for a night with this tail. It's so heavy that you can't feel anything. You won't be able to maintain your balance. Draconians can't lie down to sleep. However, we lost consciousness after the poison took effect last night. Perhaps our tail was pressed down when we were struggling. I will be fine in a while. I will find a place to sit for a while. "
I was speechless. This world is so strange, isn't it? However, when I thought about how Dingdang often wrinkled her wings, causing her to be unable to fly stably, I didn't express too much surprise.
"Hey," Sona interrupted. She sounded a little uneasy. "How should we thank you? We really don't know how to thank you for your kindness. "
Liliana jumped out without hesitation and said, "Repay us with your body. My boss has a wide hunting range!"
"If you talk nonsense again, I will sew your mouth shut." I glared at the wretched girl and waved my hand at the uneasy draconian girl. "It's nothing. We are all friends."
Just as I helped the swaying Shakina and Sona onto the bed, Shallow Shallow's voice came from the courtyard. "Ah Jun! Ah Jun! Are you done? Are they okay? "
"This voice … I think it's Shallow Shallow?" Sona immediately recognized Shallow Shallow's voice. She was surprised. "I thought you were the only one who came."
"Actually … quite a few came." I smiled awkwardly. I extended my hand and pushed open the window. "Take a look for yourselves."
Shakina peeked outside and looked at me in horror. "Are you going to confiscate our house or silence us?"
I laughed. It was obvious that she was joking. Shakina didn't have any hostility towards me anymore. Instead, she was joking like a normal friend. This was a good sign. The two draconian girls rested for a while and tidied up their clothes. They followed me into the courtyard. A large group of people immediately swarmed toward us. Even a girl like Sona, who was slightly calmer, was shocked. They still felt that it was unreal. They muttered, "They really came." It seemed that the two of them didn't expect that we would really come to visit them after they gave us their address. Perhaps to them, even though we were just wandering travelers, we weren't on the same path as the 'lizardmen' adventurers. They didn't think that we would have more interaction with them.
I briefly explained the situation of Shakina and Sona. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that it was just a false alarm. Shallow Shallow even hugged Sona's arm as if they were close friends. "It's great that you are fine. Actually, I should have helped you detoxify from the start. It's just that Liliana wasn't with us at that time. Oh yeah, Ah Jun, you must reward Liliana this time. "
Sona smiled awkwardly. I could tell that she was very happy. However, she wasn't used to the atmosphere of being surrounded by a group of people. She and Shakina had probably never experienced being cared for by so many people before.
Seizing this opportunity, I introduced my sister, Vanilla, and the little crow to the two of them. "This is my sister, Chen Qian. She is very kind. She is in charge of our family's internal affairs. The two that look like sisters are Vanilla and Medivh. They are both my younger sisters. "
Shakina nodded. "You have a bunch of daughters and an even bigger bunch of younger sisters. I feel that you are really amazing. However, Medivh doesn't look like your younger sister. Err, please don't mind my words. She looks really special."
"Don't worry about the details." I casually brushed her off and mentioned that we would be leaving in two days. Then, I asked, "Speaking of which, you are going to continue exploring in a few days, right? Do you have a destination in mind? Who knows, we might be able to meet it if we continue to travel. " Since we were going to travel aimlessly in this world, it wouldn't be a bad idea to find two locals who were familiar with the situation as guides. However, Shakina and the others still had their own lives. I was just asking casually.
"That will be at least seven days later. Seven days later, the Floating River will appear near Sentu. We plan to depart from the Floating River and head to the Hengduan Canyon. There are a few ruins where we can find black crystals. We might be able to earn a small fortune there. However, we must first sell off the things we have accumulated in these two days. The Emperor's Bone Rock that we found in the Ancient City was mostly destroyed by the explosion. The two sets of equipment were also scrapped. We need to quickly move our funds. " Once Sayana opened her mouth, she was used to talking non-stop. She didn't care if we, the laymen, could understand what she was talking about. After she finished talking, I felt dizzy. It was all about explorers. How would I know what she was talking about? However, I could confirm that the two of them had a busy daily life. They had to constantly run around for their livelihood. It would be impossible for them to travel leisurely with us.
Of course, perhaps we could pay them to be our guides. They say that money hurts relationships, but to communicate with stubborn Drakes, this might be a better idea. But before I could open my mouth, the excited caw of a little crow came from afar, interrupting my thoughts.
"Caw!" The little crow still hadn't gotten used to using human language to greet others. She chirped cheerfully and jumped over with a shiny silver metal plate in her hand. "I found it! From inside, I saw it first! "
The little crow said incoherently. She pointed at the pile of junk in the corner of the courtyard. Vanilla stood at the side with his hands clasped behind his back awkwardly.
"Why are you rummaging through other people's stuff?" I looked at the silly bird helplessly. It was obvious that this fellow who didn't have much common sense had secretly rummaged through the things that Shakina and the others had brought out from the ruins. "Apologize to the two sisters … Err, what is this?"
My attention was attracted by the metal plate in the little crow's hand. I couldn't help but take it from her and look at it for a while.
It seemed to be … some kind of precise mechanical component.
