"I am the best proof of this."

Crassus took the words, stepped forward, put his palms flat on his chest, and said openly: "You must be familiar with creatures like goblins, and I am a goblin."

From the past to the present, the word goblin has been a derogatory term in the human world. Before going underground to survive, goblins hid in dark streets and made a living by picking up garbage. Dirty has almost become synonymous with them.

Not only that, they are cowardly and weak, even the cowards among humans can show off their power in front of goblins. An unpleasant and cowardly race, the biggest trouble for humans is that they are too dirty. And what really allows humans to take

The reason for the action was an epidemic caused by germs carried by goblins. The goblins were expelled and forced to go underground to survive.

McGee looked at Crassus, and the information revealed from his body was a signal of strength and danger. This signal was even more powerful than what he had brought when he paid homage to the strong man in E. Palenque.

strong.

Regarding this, doubts flashed in his eyes... Even if Crassus admitted it to himself, it was still difficult for him to believe it. It was really too shocking.

"How do you know that becoming a descendant of a dragon can make you stronger?" Yoel asked.

According to the information he got from Dominic, Demi, Dacob and his five-color dragon subordinates, the dependents here can only get protection from the dragon depending on their mood, but cannot get feedback from the dragon. So what he calls becoming stronger

, where did you get the information? This is Joel's biggest question.

Most of the information in this world is still unknown. Although Joel has not encountered any strong enemies yet, he has encountered creatures like Wanshu. They will only put their bodies into valuable planes. And

The biggest reason for Joel's fear was Lao Long's vengeful character. He believed that Lao Long would not let him have a wonderful childhood as long as he had the chance.

Obtaining as much unknown information as possible is what Joel can do and what he must do.

"I have obtained a scroll of great stealth skills. I believe Miss Elena can testify to this."

In response to his statement, Elena nodded.

"And when I obtained the magic scroll, I also obtained an ancient book with the information recorded on it."

Ancient books, a word that sounds a bit strange, but Elena, who was born in the Tobias family, knows what it is.

It is said that before the existence of human magic society, there was a more prosperous era. Whether it is the existence of mazes or ruins, ancient documents recording certain magic, or precise magic patterns, these things all confirm this

Presumably, it was just buried by time as the times changed and the years eroded.

"..You can obviously use this ancient book to go to any noble to exchange for what you need, so why are you just an ordinary adventurer?" Elena asked.

It is very common and common for ordinary adventurers to distrust nobles.

Out of fear, generally speaking, even items of great value would not be exposed to the nobles, because the act of embezzling property is not a big deal to them.

But this is Duke Tobias Ridge, and the great nobles have an unwritten rule, which is to use relatively cheap property in exchange for a high-value item. They will not take the initiative to break the rule unless the person refuses this "good offer".

And the people in the territory are also aware of their "generosity", which is no lie. In fact, the great nobles will deliberately do some strange and exaggerated things to build the name and honor of the family.

When there was only one empire, Bana, the master of the North, took the lead in declaring war on Chi Mai's empire. Under this act of rebellion, instead of being annihilated, he established the current Bana empire.

Kingdom, this is the role and appeal of a family's name. Honor makes knights swear loyalty to the kingdom, and reputation makes people in the territory pursue it and attract help from other territories.

Using dispensable and low wealth to build a family's reputation is a sure-fire way to make money, not to mention that such regulations can also attract more adventurers to hand over the rare things they obtain to the family.

An ancient book, even a diary with ordinary daily records, can be exchanged for hundreds of gold coins. Not to mention magical documents and the like.

Mikey didn't mind Elena's question. He replied: "Because it looks like... that ancient book, except for the cover and the materials used, the text used is the text of this era..."

"Fake?" Elena said.

"I originally thought so too, and even thought about throwing him away, but I thought that even if it was a forgery, it still had some value, so I kept it."

"...Originally? You mean...the ancient books are authentic, but they use the words of this era?"

Elena opened her mouth wide. Even now, the writing is changing. Different countries have different writing, and it may change after a few decades. According to analysis, the age of the "ancient books" is at least thousands of years ago.

It's been ten thousand years, and people at that time used the current writing, so she was more willing to believe that... it was a forged book.

"Then what's recorded on it?" Elena asked, "Is there any information about the dragon?"

The reason for this inference is precisely because of what McGee just said about the reason why the dependents become stronger.

Mikey nodded, then shook his head.

"Rather, it's a prophecy."

"Prophecy is impossible!" Elena concluded, "Saint Beavis said... Any method of prophecy is a false process, and it is impossible for humans to accomplish this feat."

Mikey didn't bother to argue, he just took out the books from behind and spread them out.

This is a book with pictures and text mixed with patterns. The patterns on it are simple graffiti, like a child's drawing level.

On the first page, there are only four words written "The Beginning Place", and the picture that appears is a bunch of small dragons, among which there is a fat, short dragon who is at a loss.

On the second page, it says "Ten Thousand Bodies", and the image that appears is a deformed monster whose shape cannot be seen.

On the third page, it says "escape". The deformed monster in the pattern seems to be asleep, and the little dragon is running away.

On the fourth page, it says "Dependents", and the little man kneeling in the pattern has grown up.

On the fifth page, McGee did not open it but added: "Before this, the content of this ancient book ends here..."

"You won't tell me...that little dragon is him, right?" Elena pointed at Joel and said, with a hint of urging in her words.

She hates pedantic people.

On the fifth page, it says "strength". In the picture, a pillar of fire falls from the sky and hits Xiaolong's body, and then he is unharmed, leaving only the three people in front of the pillar of fire trembling.
