Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

"Bayin, how is your practice of Holy Word going?" Brook contacted Bayin.

"I'm still 3 proficiency points away from level 3000. I'll be there soon." Bayin said.

"I've mastered my skills. I'll give you the Skill Necklace. Wear it and you'll quickly reach full skill. I'm coming to find you. Where are you?"

"Don't worry. I'm recruiting orc warriors in the Demon Sealing Valley."

"What's the point of recruiting orc warriors?" Brook asked.

"It's not a warrior with 300 HP, but an elite half-beast warrior with 900 HP." Bayin said.

"What! 900 HP? Those 900 HP half-beast warriors from the Unknown Dark Temple?"

"Yes, there are some in the Demon Sealing Valley. I just met the Rainbow Mage. He saw that I was already level 46 and holding the Soul Devouring Staff. He asked me to try to seduce the 900 HP Dayong. I tried it, and it really worked!"

The Elite Half-Beast Warrior is a level 48 monster, belonging to the Life-type, and theoretically could be seduced into a baby. Bayin is level 46, with a level 3 Temptation Light, just enough to be seduced. However, this is only theoretical, as the stats of this baby are simply too powerful: 900 HP, 0-80 Attack, 100 Defense, and a very fast Movement Speed—perfect. It would be a bit abnormal for such a monster to become a mage's baby, which is why Brook is unsure.

Master Tianhong called it Dayong, which is a very appropriate name.

"So, a mage is invincible at level 46? With five Da Yong, they're invincible wherever they go," Brook said. Most monsters use physical attacks, so a mage with five Da Yong would be invincible while leveling and fighting monsters.

"Level 46 alone is not enough. Mage Tianhong said that we also need to equip the Soul-Devouring Staff. He heard that we were going to the Demon Dragon City, so he asked me to summon it. He also said that the Tiger Guards could not withstand the pressure in the Demon Dragon City, so I sent the Tiger Guards back to the Bairi Gate." Bayin said.

"Then I'll go to Cangyue Island and wait for you."

"Yeah, I'll be right there."

Brook waited for a while on Cangyue Island, and soon saw a wizard in a red robe walking over with five half-beast warrior babies. It was Bayin.

"Huh? I got a level 40 outfit. A colorful feathered dress, quite pretty." Brooke

"I took five babies to the bottom of the well and happened to encounter the Dark Rainbow Demon Lord refreshing, and he exploded at once." Bayin explained.

"Then put on mine too. Wait for me." Brook came to the warehouse and took out the Taoist robe that had been covered in dust for a long time.

Actually, the top-grade Ghost Armor he's wearing now is pretty good too, with a 1-6 Daoist Magic, which is better than the 2-5 of the Tianzun Dao Robe, so Brook hasn't changed it yet. Now that Bayin is wearing new clothes, Brook decided to change into them too. Although it's one point less in Daoist Magic, it's two points higher in Magical Defense, which isn't bad either.

After changing clothes and preparing their potion scrolls, they found a pond in the south of the village. The center of the pond was impassable, a rift in space and time. Next to the pond was a large rock, the Dragon Teleport Stone that Master had mentioned.

Brooke and Bayin placed their hands on the teleportation stone, and their heads spun. With a whoosh, they appeared in an open space. Beneath their feet was a teleportation formation, and in the center was a teleportation stone, which could be used to return to Cang Yue Island.

This should be the Dragon City. However, there's no city here, just a vast wilderness. From afar, there's a forest to the south, rolling hills to the north, the ocean to the west, and what looks like a fortress to the east?

There is currently no map of the Demon Dragon City, nor any information about the Demon Dragon monster. Brook and Bayin can only move eastward, hoping to find out some information in the city.

A monster appeared in front of them, lying on the ground with all four legs. It was short, with blood-red skin, an open mouth full of sharp teeth, and a very ferocious look. When it saw the two people, it jumped and pounced towards them.

Brook let the level 3 baby beast go forward and gave the monster a mental revelation.

Dragon Blood Frog, HP 800.

The two of them didn't rush to attack, but instead watched slowly from the side. The Divine Beast's Defense was 25, and its Magic Resistance was 20. Based on the Divine Beast's HP drop damage, it was estimated that the Blood Frog's Attack Power was between 30-60 points, roughly the same strength as the Steel Fang Spider in the Crimson Moon Canyon.

Brook threw a few more Soul Fire Talismans at the blood frog and chopped it a few times. He measured that the blood frog's magic resistance and defense were both about 12 points.

Bayin also commanded five brave men to attack and soon killed the blood frog.

Continuing forward, we encountered another monster called the Dragon Thorn Frog, which moved very quickly. There was also another strange, small monster that emerged from the ground. Its entire body was a ferocious eye, with two legs growing from below. It was called the Dragon Evil Eye.

The HP, attack, and defense of these monsters were similar to those of the Blood Frog. They were probably the most common monsters in Dragon City, and their strength was already quite strong. If Bayin hadn't brought five Dayongs with him, the two would have had a hard time defeating them.

The fortress is within sight.

This is an ancient wooden fortress. It's surrounded by a wall of tree trunks, about five yards high. The tops of the trunks are sharpened into spikes to prevent anyone from climbing over. A row of chevaux de frise stands before the gate, behind which stand two sword-wielding guards. Above the gate is a second story, accessible via a wooden ladder, for observation and archery.

The two walked in. The fortress was quite large, with various tents of all sizes set up inside, giving it a very primitive feel. Outside some of the tents were stalls, warehouses, jewelry stores, clothing stores, weapon shops, pharmacies, and all kinds of merchants.

In the center of the fortress, there was a perpetually burning lamp, and next to it stood a man wearing a general's armor and a cloak, looking very majestic, but his name was the Demon Dragon Veteran.

Brooke walked up and started a conversation.

"Respected Dragon Veteran General, hello."

"Hello, respected Brother Mafa. Although I am a general, I am also a veteran. I prefer others to call me the Demon Dragon Veteran. You two look unfamiliar. Is this your first time in Demon Dragon City?" said the Demon Dragon Veteran.

"Yes, Senior Dragon Veteran, we two have just come from Cang Yue Island and are setting foot in Dragon City for the first time. I have two things to ask you."

"You're welcome. If you have something to say, tell me as soon as possible."

"We want to find Baili Feijian, Situ Haoyun, and Shangguan Yanling. Have you seen them?" Brooke asked.

"The three of them accepted my mission and should be killing monsters deep in the Demon Dragon now. They may be in the Demon Dragon Ridge, the Demon Dragon East Gate, or the Demon Dragon Blood Domain." said the Demon Dragon veteran.

"Okay, we are just about to go find them. Also, senior, do you have a topographic map of the Demon Dragon City? We are both new here and don't know the way." Brook said.

"I can give you the topographic map. But you also need to help with a mission," the Dragon Veteran said. "We're currently setting up a teleportation array to Dragon Ridge. I've already dispatched guides and messengers from Dragon City to Dragon Ridge, but some supplies have just arrived. Could you two help deliver them?"

"We are willing to accept this task." Brook said.
