"But I hope you can take Jerry with you."
"Eugeni!?" Jerry was stunned. "No! I want to go with you!"
"This is not the time to be willful...! Jie Li!" Seeing that she wanted to stand up, the young man stood up as well, hugged her tightly, and the two of them walked to the corner and began to whisper.
This is the time for them to discuss it themselves, and no one else can interrupt. Xia Yibing looked at Hitzfeld at this time and asked her in a tentative tone: "Aisun...what do you think?"
She was a little worried that she might come off as too strong.
Especially if she decided to give up the mission and go home, she was afraid that Hitzfeld would disagree.
"Me? I don't have anything to say." Hitzfeld was still thinking about the Mimic. He was slightly startled when he heard this. "It's fine to go back. I have no objection."
This was the truth; she would not risk her life to find out a little secret.
Moreover, she carefully reviewed her experiences during this period and gradually felt that... Sarah might not be as safe as Talignan.
Talignan has Mimics, but Sarah doesn't have any?
Yes, Sixus's memory did mention that they were killed at that time, but it was also a fact that she did not show her due ability when facing that "Russell" - the ability to distinguish Mimics.
Maybe she hadn't used it for a long time and was no longer familiar with it.
Maybe these monsters have evolved and are difficult to recognize.
In short, since even she behaves like this, Sarah, once Wayne Port blends in with the Mimics, the possibility of being discovered is really small.
Even if we rule out the potential threat of the Mimic, it is a fait accompli that someone in Wayne wants to use his power to transfer Xia away.
Excluding Russell, they just wanted her to come alone.
Come to the Fire Dragon Alliance.
Compared to "bring Xia along", "going back with Xia" will definitely make the enemy more frustrated.
The more the enemy doesn't want something to happen, the more you have to do it... She thinks it's okay to stick to this point.
"I agree."
Sixus leaned lazily in his chair, not even opening his eyes when he spoke.
She had had enough of playing anyway, so rather than facing more possible mimics... and the trauma of her childhood, she certainly didn't mind running away.
“You can’t leave…!”
Moore became anxious as he watched them decide the strategy with just a few words.
"The future of Dragon Country depends on you... You can't--"
"I personally don't believe in prophecies, Mr. Sally." Xia Yibing interrupted the spell again, "I think that if there is really someone who can save this rotten country, you should look for it in this environment."
The implication is that she doesn't want to help.
"But... there is still treasure!?"
Moore was really anxious, and when intimidation failed, he began to bribe.
"That's the Dragon God's treasure... You were investigating this case before, right? Don't you care? Aren't you tempted?"
"Mr. Sally..."
Now even Hitzfeld began to smile bitterly.
For ordinary people, for ordinary adventurers, just the opportunity to participate is a gift.
But they are different.
After all, they have touched and seen more than one divine weapon, and they are not short of money or resources, so it is difficult for them to be tempted by material things.
No matter what was in the treasure, it would not be more valuable than his life, and Moore-Sally was doomed to be disappointed.
"But--"
"Dong dong dong."
Moore opened his mouth and took a deep breath.
But before he could finish, the door rang.
"Maybe the maid is back..." Xia Yibing said.
Eugenie and Jerry were right at the door, and they opened it immediately after hearing what she said.
But he was immediately frightened - the kind that really made him jump up and down. He hugged Jerry tightly and jumped back nearly two meters, then quickly took out a pistol and aimed outside.
"you--"
Others also stood up, some were in a daze, some were touching their weapons, and the atmosphere instantly changed from conspiracy to a sense of imminent danger.
"Let me guess."
Even with so many guns pointed at him, Russell Igor remained calm.
"With this reaction, you have encountered a mimicking demon... and the person being mimicked is me."
"Prove your identity!"
Xia Yibing said seriously.
"I'll count to three. One..."
"Cheese baked rice, sauced beef ribs, red wine lamb rolls, milk-filled onion rings, and wine-flavored chicken pie."
Russell named a list of dishes.
Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing both breathed a sigh of relief.
These are the dishes that Russell served during that treat, and only the real thing would know.
"We disguised ourselves when we entered the city. How did you find us?" the woman continued to question him.
"You underestimate the power of the Thorn Birds here." Russell answered ambiguously.
"You came just in time!"
Sisyphe cried.
"We are worried about how to get back. The Thorn Birds should be able to help us?"
She didn't know what the names of the dishes Russell reported meant, and she didn't want to find out.
But both the gray-haired detective and the female sheriff in black stockings think it’s okay… so it probably is okay.
"Go back? Why do you think so?"
Russell was finally a little surprised.
"We are not going back. Instead, we are going to continue west, to Kerg."
When these words came out, everyone was stunned again.
"...Mr. Igor." Hitzfeld wanted to grit his teeth.
"About this mission, all the details... I think you have to explain it again."
"I will explain."
Russell said directly, then looked at the others.
"Let me give you an example... Have you ever read a novel?"
No one answered.
I have no idea what he means.
"What I mean is that in many storybooks, groups with numbers, such as the 'Seven Knights' and the 'Twelve Warriors', often have additional members hidden behind them."
Russell opened his hands and gestured, and the next sentence made old Moore's face change immediately.
"…So the Three Dragon Guards actually have four families. I think you can understand this news."
"Impossible!" Moore screamed.
"You bullshit!"
"I rarely lie." Russell ignored him and looked at the other people in the room.
“There are three people here who have been exposed to it.”
"If you don't believe it, you can go and ask."
Chapter 44 It is a human
He said that the Three Dragon Guards actually have a fourth family, and that all three of these people have come into contact with members of this family?
As Russell said this, a flash of light flashed through Hitzfeld's mind, and he immediately turned his eyes to Eugenie and Jerry.
Similarly, the young detective was also looking at her... The two of them stared at each other and nodded slightly, obviously having guessed what Russell was talking about.
fairytale town.
Old Barr.
"Is it the case in Green Town?" Xia Yibing reacted quickly. She witnessed the interaction between the two with her own eyes and immediately remembered the case of the detention of Fire Dragon that she had seen in the files.
It is said that it is a real dragon with terrifying power, and there is dragon fire in its mouth and on its back... Its human form alone can produce extremely terrifying deterrent pressure, and its destructive power after restoring its true form is immeasurable.
Bar-Gallant, that guy is the Third... Oh, now it's time to talk about the Four Dragon Guards... Is he the successor of the Four Dragon Guards?
The first thought was that it was a bit absurd, but Xia Yibing also admitted that this explanation could explain why the dragon existed and why it ran to Green Town for no reason.
Only Sixus looked confused and didn't understand the riddle they were talking about. Hitzfeld immediately came to her side and whispered to her, briefly describing what happened in Green Town.
"The Gralant family was once a servant of the Dragon God, just like Deka, Sali, and Smurf." Russell continued, "We speculate that something may have happened at that time, causing the three families to jointly exclude Gralant and join forces to defeat and exile him. Bar-Gallant is the last successor of the Gralant family."
The others in the room looked at Old Moore at the same time. The latter was stunned for a moment, shaking his head like a rattle: "I have never heard of such history!!"
"This cannot be used as a basis for judgment." Sixus said sarcastically, "After all, your ancestors didn't tell you about me..."
Moore's face flushed.
There are several people here who don’t eat much, and the predictions can’t scare anyone.
In the end, he needs others to explain to him what his family has done?
To be fair, he really has some doubts about life.
"I have a few questions," Hitzfeld said.
"You go ahead." Russell nodded.
"Your statement can explain his origin, but you can't explain why he is the way he is."
What she meant was that no matter how normal Old Baal looked in human form, he could still turn into a dragon.
The files recorded that it was a huge one. Although this was a world where supernatural powers existed, based on the supernatural powers she had seen so far, very few of them could break the laws of physics.
Even if she acknowledged that fire dragons really existed, how could such a big dragon turn into such a small human?
Is this mass transfer also allowed by the laws of physics? If not, when this transfer actually occurs, will the dragon weigh the same as old Baal?
Hitzfeld really didn't have to worry about these issues; she was more concerned about how this was done.
At the very least, according to what Russell said, Granat is from the Dragon Guard family, and belongs to the "Fire Dragon" lineage. His statement is obviously different from Moore-Sali's.
Moore said that the Time Dragon Family cannot turn into real dragons. The so-called Time Dragon is just an exaggerated description of their inherited power and an honorific title.
The same goes for the other two families, none of them can transform into real dragons.
How can the Fire Dragon Family do this? Is there any secret behind this?
"You got the point straight away..." Russell pursed his lips, "In fact, this is also the question you asked me at the beginning."
Hitzfeld said nothing more, and acted as if to say, "I'm all ears."
"After the Green Town case was over, another group of people took over the detention of Barr-Glarant." Russell continued, "Few people know about the existence of this group of people. Oh no, it should be said that most people know about it, but they have always regarded them as legends."
Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing looked at each other.
If I remember correctly, the person who took over from old Barr at that time still belonged to Sarah's Department of Homeland Security.
But that's how Russell described them.
"I've read the files, and it seems that those people all died in the line of duty?" Xia Yibing interrupted Russell with a frown.
"They died in the line of duty." Russell raised his lips and smiled meaningfully. "Their souls took this opportunity to escape into the darkness and play their value in another way."
