Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

“Don’t think you can act recklessly just because you have the support of ancient dragons! We have killed many ancient dragons!” said the Great Sage Xuanyuan.

"From the beginning to the end, it was you who were rampant! Bayin and I have always been protecting ourselves. We have different positions, so there is no point in saying more. If you want to kill me, just come at me!" Brook said calmly.

The Great Sage Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows, tightened the staff in his hand, and prepared to attack.

"Wait a minute!" Duanmu Duxing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "My Duanmu family won't fight anymore!"

The Great Sage Xuanyuan turned his head and looked over.

"This ancient dragon may be impossible to kill." Duanmu Duxing explained to the team.

"Can't be killed?" Xuanyuan Great Sage was puzzled.

Duanmu Duxing didn't answer, but looked at Brook and said, "Brook, my friend, my Duanmu family is willing to withdraw. But before I leave, I would like to ask you two questions."

Brooke looked at Duanmu Duxing carefully and said, "Patriarch Duanmu comes and goes as he pleases. Not only does he not have to pay any price, but he also wants me to answer your questions. He's really very cool."

"That makes sense! I admit that it was wrong of me to come and hunt you down. You should ask me to pay the price. However, I would like you to answer my question."

Duanmu Duxing actually admitted his mistake, and Brook couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Has your group healing skill reached level 8?" Duanmu Duxing asked.

"...Senior's guess was correct!"

"Why are you able to communicate with dragons? And how did you tame this ancient dragon?"

"...It's a long story. To put it simply, I have a good relationship with it!"

"Haha~ What a hit it off!" Duanmu Duxing laughed, "Tell me, what's the price you want?"

"Ten 10th-level pills and 7 million ingots!" Brooke asked tentatively.

"Okay! I'll go back to the warehouse later and check. If there is any, I'll try my best to satisfy you." Duanmu Duxing agreed very straightforwardly.

"Brook, please go ahead." Duanmu Duxing said politely. Then he took Duanmu Duxing and left.

Brooke and Bayin looked at each other in bewilderment. So easy to talk to? His attitude changed so quickly.

Xuanyuan Dasheng and Xuanyuan Daren were the only two left on the platform. They both had teleportation rings, allowing them to attack or defend, and were not afraid of the ancient dragon, but Xuanyuan Dasheng's grip on his weapon loosened.

They all understood what Duanmu Duxing said.

Brook has level 8 group healing and a defensive ring, which adds up to level 9 group healing! Level 9 group healing can restore health by a percentage. They really can't kill this ancient dragon.

If you can't kill the dragon, you can't kill Brook either; since you can't kill Brook, you can only be killed.

The attack power of the Ancient Dragon is no joke. And a Taoist priest who can control the Ancient Dragon is more terrifying than a single Ancient Dragon!

This matter had to be dropped. Not only had to be dropped, but it had to be fixed, and relations with Brooke couldn't be strained.

"Ahem~ 200 million ingots and 10 7th-turn pills. My Xuanyuan family will give them to you later. My dear Brooke, my three major families will no longer be involved in today's matter. Let's just drop it here!" Xuanyuan the Great Sage took the initiative to say, and his attitude also made a 180-degree turn.

"Patriarch Xuanyuan just left like that?" Brooke said lightly.

"What else do you want?" Xuanyuan Dasheng said unhappily. He had already given Brook enough face. Did he have to pay a higher price just because he was the captain?

"Don't misunderstand, Chief. Bayin and I just want to know the truth about the Dragon King!"

"...This is a matter for the Emperor, so I cannot elaborate further. The wanted order from the Imperial City will be sent here soon. The commander of the Imperial Guard stationed at the Warcraft Arena is a member of the royal family, so he will probably come to you personally. You can ask him then."

Brooke nodded and said, "Are the three major families really no longer involved in this matter?"

"At least, my Xuanyuan and Duanmu families won't get involved. We'll also try our best to persuade the Tuoba family. I can even give a heads up to the commander of the guards. Since you can summon a dragon, he shouldn't make things difficult for you."

"In that case, thank you, Chief Xuanyuan." Brook said.

Since the other party showed goodwill, Brook certainly would not continue to embarrass them. After all, these people did not know that the ancient dragon could only be summoned once a month and each time could only last for one day.

Xuanyuan Dasheng looked deeply at the ancient dragon, and teleported away with Xuanyuan Daren.

Originally, Brook had thought that if the other party continued to pester him, he would have to retreat to the Dragon Valley. Now, it seemed that the ancient dragon was more useful than Brook had imagined. The other party had become more respectful after being arrogant at first, and the situation had taken a significant turn. The rest depended on what the commander of the Imperial Guard said.

Many demonic beasts gathered at the foot of the mountain, having lost sight of the Great Sage Xuanyuan. Just then, a large group of human cultivators crossed the river and headed toward the peak. These cultivators only knew the coordinates of Bayinbuluke, but were unaware that they were actually located at the top of the mountain. Even if they were nearby, they wouldn't be able to ascend.

Brooke and Bayin stood on the top of the mountain, looking out over everything below. Bayin, in particular, watched the rare beasts with great interest. This was her first time in a Warcraft battlefield, and she had only heard that rare beasts were very powerful. Now was the perfect time to observe them carefully.

The ancient dragon was a little impatient. Seeing so many prey below, it spread its wings slightly and was eager to try.

"Brook, let's go downstairs and play?"

"Elder, of course I'm willing to go down with you. But there's one thing we have to agree on: we'll split the spoils in half. Including what you just swallowed."

"Why?! According to the rules of our dragon clan, whoever sucks it into their stomach first gets it!"

"That's right! But according to our agreement, you must obey me today and fight for me. In theory, you belong to me all day, including all the spoils of war. But I'm a generous man. In my eyes, you're not my subordinate, but my friend, my partner. According to human rules, the spoils of war should be divided equally among companions, so I only want half."

The ancient dragon was slightly moved by what he heard, but he was still reluctant to give up the treasure he had already sucked into his stomach. He rolled his eyes and had an idea.

The ancient dragon opened its mouth and spit out a large number of potions, city return stones, random stones, and summons.

These things were dull and lifeless, not things that dragons would like. I was afraid that someone would snatch them away, so I sucked them all in without distinction.

"Half, give it to you!" the ancient dragon hummed.

Brooke was at a loss for words. He had never expected that Elder, such a miser, would resort to such tricks.

Brook picked up two team summons and one family summon. Summoning orders were still very useful, especially the family summon, which was very valuable. The Wenren family only had two, one in the hands of Wenren Tianxiang and the other in the hands of Wenren Muxue.

"I didn't explain it clearly this time. From now on, don't swallow these potions, return stones, and random stones. As for the other things, we will each have half. Also, there was a paralysis ring just now, can you give it to me?" Brook said.

"That's mine! My half!"

"Okay, okay, I know it belongs to you. I mean, I'll trade it with other sparkling gems!"

"Change? How?"

"Look, I have five crystals with me. I'll exchange these five for a paralysis ring!" Brook took out the Fire Crystal, Thunder Crystal, etc. and showed them to Elder.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm stupid? This paralysis ring is no ordinary treasure. Not only is it shiny, it also has very powerful energy. If you place it on the bed, it will be of great benefit for falling asleep and restoring physical strength!" said the ancient dragon Elder.

Oh~ No wonder dragons like to put special rings on their beds. It turns out they are used to help them fall asleep and restore their strength.

"Is its ability to restore physical strength as strong as my healing spell?" Brook asked.

"...Not really. Your healing skills are stronger."

"So, with me here, what do you need this ring for? Every time you come home, I'll fill up your Qi and Health, ensuring you sleep soundly! How about this, in addition to the five crystals, I'll also give you a lucky gem. Look at this lucky gem, it's sparkling blue and glittering, so beautiful!"

"...One Lucky Gem isn't enough! I need five!"

"Five is too many! Ouch~" Brooke said with a pained expression, "Alright, since we're good friends, I'll do my best! Give me the paralysis ring first, and I'll get the rest of the lucky gems for you later."

The ancient dragon Elder was very satisfied when he saw this, so he accepted the lucky gem and crystal, then spit out the paralysis ring and gave it to Brook.

Brook took a closer look and saw that this paralysis ring was already at level one, and seemed to be not far from level two. He wondered how many years Tuoba Hongye had cultivated it, and now it was just the right time for Bayin to use it.
