Luo Zhen was stunned after eating it. A gentle power flowed out from it, making him involuntarily happy.
The pop-up annotation in the commission booth:
【Happy Ou Runji: doro hopes you open your heart - Moon Ripple - */mark*/
Upon seeing this description, Luo Zhen was stunned. Could it be that Doro could grant Orange power?
He rubbed Doro's skin, and Doro laughed happily.
Just then, the door to the hut was pushed open, and a biting wind and snow blew in. A girl with dragon horns rushed in, carrying a girl with deer antlers in her arms. The girl was covered in blood and looked like she was about to die.
"Someone please save Alina! She's dying!"
[Request: Talulah's friend Alina is dying, please save her]
[Reward for Requesting a Quest: Random Dragon Draw]
Luo Zhen wasn't good at treating wounds. He was about to call for help, like bringing Mebius over, when Doro took an Orenji from his pocket and gave it to Talulah.
Talulah was still shocked by the information she had been given, and subconsciously peeled an orange and put it into Alina's mouth.
Luo Zhen stopped trying to shake people up; he had already seen the annotation on the orange.
[Treatment for O'Runji: Doro hopes you get well soon]
Doro's Orenji is really that amazing!
Volume 1: 019 - Talulah, go and kill Wei Yanwu
Alina's breathing calmed down, and the wound stopped bleeding.
[Commission completed, receive a random dragon prize draw]
"Thank you."
Talulah was very grateful. "Thank you for saving Alina."
Luo Zhen pointed at Doro: "It was she who saved Alina, not me."
Talulah thanked Doro again, and Doro jumped up and down, very happy.
Only then did Talulah have the mind to study the information about the quest cabin that had appeared in her mind.
A hut that can grant all kinds of wishes and connect different worlds?
She almost immediately thought of the Reunion Movement she led. Because everyone there was infected, and in Ursus, a harsh and cold place, there was a particular discrimination against the infected, who were treated like slaves. They lived a miserable life and could only scavenge for food in the freezing cold.
Not only are they hunted down by the Ursus authorities and discriminated against by ordinary people, but even other infected individuals seek opportunities to harm them.
Alina was robbed by infected people while she was out exchanging supplies. If she hadn't accidentally come to the quest hut, Talulah wouldn't have been able to save her and could only watch Alina bleed to death.
Can I buy some daily necessities from you?
[Request: Talulah requests some living supplies]
[Reward for Commission: 500 Commission Crystals]
She felt a little uneasy, her mind still confined to the cruel Ursus. Talulah was already used to the discrimination against infected people, and she was already very grateful that Luo Zhen was willing to help Alina. She could understand if he was unwilling to provide supplies to infected people.
"I also know a little about the situation of those infected."
Luo Zhen said, "But the greatest danger is actually you, Talulah."
"The consciousness of the immortal black serpent resides within you."
Talulah's eyes narrowed. The immortal black serpent Kosicheal had abducted her from Lungmen when she was a child and had begun to carefully educate her in an attempt to control her.
But shouldn't Koschei have been killed by her own hands?
In order to resist Koschei, Talulah deliberately inserted an Originium fragment into her arm, becoming an Infected, and successfully assassinated Koschei.
"Koschl is an immortal. It is pointless to kill his body. His spirit still lives on and is hidden within you. Once your will wavers, he will take over your body and turn you into him."
"If Alina dies, you will inevitably be consumed by hatred, and if you encounter any further events, you will become extreme, thus giving Kosiché an opportunity."
"With your status and power, you might plunge the continent of Terra into a quagmire of war."
Talulah was shocked: "He's not dead?"
Luo Zhen explained, "Koschei is an immortal being with a long lifespan, the famous Undying Black Serpent of Terra. He has many tricks up his sleeve. Take you as an example, even if you kill the Koschei hidden inside you, you can't eliminate him, because he has other consciousnesses that have been separated out, and no one knows where they are hidden."
A shadow fell over Talulah's heart. Luo Zhen's simple words described an ambitious schemer who had traversed history, making her feel suffocated.
Can she really handle being targeted by this kind of person?
Talulah is not afraid to fight Koschei, but she also knows her own limitations; she can't possibly outmaneuver Koschei when it comes to scheming.
Her gaze fell on Luo Zhen: "Is there any way to circumvent Koschei's plot?"
[Request: How Talulah can evade Koschei's scheme and escape his trap]
[Reward for Commission: 1400 Commission Crystals]
"It's actually not that difficult."
Luo Zhen said, "Kosichie is the powerful duke of Ursus, and he has been operating in Ursus for far too long."
"The Ursus Emperor knows that he is possessing you, and the Third Army, which is loyal to Kosichean, also knows. With your Reunion Movement's scattered troops, you are utterly useless."
Luo Zhen instructed, "Do you understand? Only by escaping the quagmire of Ursus and accumulating strength in places beyond his reach will we have a chance to defeat him."
"You know, Koschei may seem powerful, but in the grand scheme of the entire Terra continent, he's nothing special. He's good at surviving and it's not easy for him to live a long life. His combat strength is nothing."
"But where can I, as an infected person, gather strength?"
Talulah said, "Although I am a red dragon, even as a member of the royal family, I cannot go to Victoria. The capital there is occupied by the regent of Kazdel, and the other nobles are all scheming. I cannot sit on the throne. If I insist on it, there will only be death."
"Who said you were going to Victoria?"
Luo Zhen said meaningfully, "You are not just a red dragon. You are a hybrid of the Great Yan True Dragon and the Red Dragon. You can also go to Great Yan, such as returning to your childhood hometown, the Great Yan Dragon Gate."
“Wei Yanwu, the governor of Longmen, is not only your uncle, but also killed your father. You can kill him or exile him, seize his position, and take the governorship of Longmen for yourself.”
“You have the blood of a true dragon and a legitimate reason to attack him. It is only right and proper for you to avenge your father.”
Luo Zhen said, "You want to establish peace between the infected and the non-infected, right? There is no better place than Da Yan. Compared to other countries, Da Yan is the most tolerant of the infected, and the people can coexist peacefully with the infected. Of course, Lungmen is an exception. The infected in Lungmen are all gathered in the slums, but this is a good opportunity for you to show your skills."
“You can use Lungmen as a practice ground, ensuring that the infected in Lungmen receive the same treatment as those in other cities of Da Yan. This is much easier than starting from scratch in other countries. If you can’t even do this, then you certainly can’t do it in other countries.”
Talulah was tempted by Luo Zhen's words: "But how could I possibly become the governor of Lungmen? It's not like I can get that position just by defeating Wei Yanwu."
“It would be impossible in other cities, but Longmen is different.”
Luo Zhen smiled and said, "Wei Yanwu has a deep conflict with the current Great Yan True Dragon, so deep that if you kill Wei Yanwu, the Great Yan True Dragon will only applaud."
This was the first time Talulah had ever heard such a secret, and even though Ryougi Shinobu hadn't gone into details, she found it incredibly exciting.
"Is there such a thing?"
Her expression suddenly changed: "You said Koschei's consciousness resides in my body. Can he sense the outside world? He has long wanted to seize Lungmen. If he finds out, he can find a chance to control me, and Lungmen will be in danger."
She certainly didn't want Kosiché to benefit from her.
"Let me give it a try."
Luo Zhen tentatively unleashed a Taixu Sword God attack on Talulah, but not with enough force, for fear of killing her.
Talulah was completely unaware.
"You don't feel anything?"
Luo Zhen recalled that during the Second Honkai Impact, Fu Hua wanted to kill Xilin with the Taixu Sword God, but Xilin's mind was linked to the Honkai consciousness, which blocked the attack for her and directly broke the link.
Perhaps Koschei was also residing inside Talulah's body, ultimately shielding her from disaster.
Luo Zhen gradually increased his efforts.
Taixu Sword God!
Taixu Sword God!
Taixu Sword God!
A piercing scream rang in Talulah's ears.
Volume 1: 020 - Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
"Weakening it to this extent is about right."
Upon hearing Talulah's report, Luo Zhen stopped what he was doing. The black snake was already very weak, and what if he didn't control his strength well and accidentally knocked Talulah unconscious?
[The mission is complete. Talulah has decided to accept your suggestion and head to Lungmen.]
You have received 1400 commission crystals.
"Go back and reassure the troops first. I'll go prepare the supplies for you."
Shoko Toyokawa is probably trying to appease Motoyo Nagasaki. Ryouma went to find Mei Raiden to arrange supplies. She's also super rich, so a little bit of supplies is nothing to her.
On the way there, Luo Zhen casually used the dragon-type lottery ticket that Talulah had dropped.
Congratulations on obtaining the card: Blue-Eyes White Dragon
[Blue-Eyes White Dragon: A legendary dragon known for its high attack power, capable of crushing any opponent; its destructive power is immeasurable.]
[Usage: You can transform into a dragon and use this power, or you can condense the dragon power into a blue-eyed white dragon as a summoned beast.]
Strong! Invincible! The strongest!
Luo Zhen immediately integrated this power into his body. He could retain his human form, grow dragon wings, tail, and horns, and even transform into a blue-eyed white dragon. None of this affected the power of the blue-eyed white dragon.
The dragon power is only outside his body when he summons the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but he can retract it at any time.
Meanwhile, in the Ursus snowfield, Talulah returned to the party with Alina, who had recovered, and recounted her miraculous experience and her plans for the future.
Most people in the Reunion Movement couldn't quite understand what she was talking about. Without the information from the hut, they found it hard to believe in the so-called magical place that allowed them to travel between different worlds.
Most of them cannot even understand the concept of the world. After all, they are infected. In Ursus, a country where discrimination is severe, very few people receive an education.
As the last pure-blooded Wendigo, Patriot was quite educated, which made him even more absurd: "Your description is very strange."
"Perhaps it's Originium Arts, but he'll help you fight the Black Serpent."
He believed that Talulah was under the influence of Originium Arts, a mental technique, and that no matter how incredible things were in this world, they could be explained by Originium Arts.
Kosichrie wanted to exploit Talulah's red dragon bloodline; Patriots believed that Luo Zhen was another ambitious man who might also want to use Talulah's true dragon bloodline to achieve his goals.
