Sijiu was tightly bound by the tentacle-like mist and dragged deeper into the place.
There is fog in front of me and I can't see anything clearly.
But she didn't want to care about her current situation and just kept arguing with the system in her mind.
[I wasn't hallucinating just now. There was indeed a sound prompting the unlock.]
System: [emmmm…]
[So Charles is the male protagonist of this dimension, right? You lose.]
System: [I didn't agree to bet with the host. And...]
What is the "Golden Finger"? It gives out tasks and methods for delivery.
But this was a bit of a hassle. Just as we confirmed his identity, we were forced to separate. We had to complete the delivery mission and find a way to escape.
System? Son? Speak.]
system:【……】
Sijiu realized from the system's ellipsis that things were not simple.
[I did hear the unlocking sound just now.]
System: [But it was interrupted.]
Sijiu: "..."
What do you mean? System failure?
System: [Probably not.]
Sijiu: [So?]
System: [I'm not sure either.]
Sijiu: [You, said, what? ! ! ! ]
System: [I think you heard it clearly.]
[Oh shit.]
【Host, please use civilized language. 】
Sijiu: "..."
I feel so tired.
[What is the golden finger? How is it delivered?] Sijiu refused to give up and made another desperate struggle.
System: [Not displayed.]
[So is Charles the male protagonist? ]
System: […I don’t know.]
【Waste! What use are you to me?】
System: [Host, please do not attack with your whole body.]
Sijiu: Haha.
The situation was unclear and Sijiu felt exhausted.
Just then, she was let go.
All the restraints on her body were loosened, and mist that turned into tentacles fluttered behind her for a while, then carefully pushed her back.
Si Jiu was pushed and took a step forward passively.
Then the tip of his nose almost hit the huge monster in front of him - a black dragon.
The surrounding mist quickly retreated and disappeared without a trace in a short while.
Only then did Si Jiu realize that he was in a huge cave.
The cave was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, which complemented Sijiu's golden outfit perfectly.
"So... the god this country is talking about is actually a dragon?"
No wonder she's dressed like this. It truly is the dragon's aesthetic.
[The black dragon is a symbol of evil. As early as tens of thousands of years ago, the black dragon had left countless bloody deeds and terrible legends on this land.
However, it was the heyday of magic, and the priests of light surrounded and suppressed the dragon clan and killed the last black dragon of the dragon clan.
After that, the continent was peaceful for thousands of years.
Until a thousand years ago, it was rumored that the evil black dragon came again.
Some ambitious humans came up with the idea of worshipping the dragon as a god, and even began to offer sacrifices and offerings in an attempt to gain the favor of the black dragon and become its helper.
He even wanted to obtain the power of the Dragon God and become the master of the world.
Some powerful people also seek a long life.
In short, everything is caused by ambition and desire.
This is the origin of your status as a sacrifice. 】
Si Jiu listened silently to the system's popular science explanation while looking at the black dragon in front of him.
As the absolute overlord of this continent, even though this black dragon seems to be in a dormant state at this moment, the power it exudes is enough to make people look up to it just by its size.
Sijiu stood in front of it, his entire body not even as long as one of its dragon whiskers. Even if it breathed a little harder now, it could blow Sijiu away.
But now, the black dragon's breathing was very weak, and its closed eyelids did not move at all.
"What's wrong with it?"
[It bears severe signs of corrosion from light magic. In other words, it's severely injured.]
Si Jiu was a little surprised. "Isn't it said that magic is declining now and there are no true priests of light anymore? Who could hurt it so badly?"
As he spoke, Si Jiu moved his feet and walked to the side of the black dragon, and then saw at a glance the large areas of scales on the dragon's body that were corroded to a shocking degree.
[This should be an old injury from thousands of years ago, or even earlier.]
Some of the scales that should have been smooth, beautiful, and hard were corroded and incomplete, some were almost falling off, and some were mixed with blood, leaving hideous wounds everywhere.
There was a huge gap on one of the wings, and it looked like it was almost torn off.
"It looks really painful." Si Jiu was shocked.
