Chapter 325 Inheritance
The three thieves were delighted, thinking that they could have a full meal today.
The Ox-Horse Dragon was in great trouble, because it was bound by the agreement and had no way to resist, for fear that it would accidentally kill these three ignorant guys.
Later, there was really no other choice, so the Ox-Horse Dragon chanted the magic of mental illusion.
Strange mental fluctuations spread out, giving the Ox-Horse Dragon a layer of mental disguise.
The effect of this disguise is naturally not comparable to Ji Ruo's [Disguise] effect, but if it is only used to deceive three thieves, it is still very easy.
So in the eyes of the three thieves, everything was developing in the direction they expected.
"It's incredible. The horse didn't resist at all. It didn't even make a sound!"
"Praise be to our luck! This must be a gift from the God of Luck, which makes us so lucky to meet such a silly horse, hahahaha!"
"Ah, so much blood. I feel a little dizzy..."
The three thieves were talking and busy, but the Ox, Horse and Dragon were a little confused.
It originally wanted to trick them like this and then go back to guard the gate, but the result was - even though these guys were immersed in the illusion, they still didn't let go of the reins of the Ox-Horse Dragon.
It can't break free of the reins, because its current image is simulated by its 'mimicry' talent, and the reins are actually its dragon whiskers...
How to get out of this?
The three of them were immersed in the spiritual illusion created for them by the Ox-Horse Demon Dragon. They became more and more excited, and the water in the pot was already boiling.
"Okay, it's almost done, put it in the pot!"
They unknowingly pulled the 'reins' of cattle, horses, cows and dragons, leading them into the big pot.
In their eyes, the Ox-Horse Dragon had actually been chopped into pieces by them.
The Niuma Demon Dragon was stunned for a moment, and suddenly discovered a very serious problem.
"Wait a minute, they won't keep holding me like this, right? This illusion magic is a bit..."
It was speechless, the boiling water was emitting hot steam, the hands of the thieves holding the 'reins' of the cows, horses and dragons were even burned red by the scalding steam, but the joy on their faces did not diminish in the slightest.
The Ox-Horse Dragon, which had lived in the boiling magma of the Flame Divine Realm for hundreds of years, was naturally not afraid of this kind of temperature, but these humans could not bear it.
Their hands were all steamed, but they didn't let go.
Helplessly, the Ox-Horse Demon Dragon could only continue to endure it.
Anyway, it doesn’t hurt and it feels a little comfortable…
It was the first time for it to enjoy a 'bath scrubbing' and it unexpectedly felt quite good.
The cows, horses and dragons enjoyed it.
About half an hour later, the illusion seen by the three thieves seemed to have finally progressed a step further. They took spoons and each scooped up some soup.
"Ah, what a delicious meat soup."
"Wow, it's so delicious."
They were full of happiness: "What we can't finish can be made into jerky and stored. We can eat it for a long time."
"We can still sell some of it. We're so lucky today, we'll definitely make a profit!"
"right!"
"I think so too!"
The Ox-Horse Demon Dragon enjoyed it quietly, watching the three people drinking their bath water and talking about the future, but the topic gradually started to go off track.
Although it was not actually cooked, it was still a dragon after all, a top creature on the Mother Earth Continent.
Even if it is just bath water, it is a rare tonic for these people.
This kind of thing may be of no use to the Daxia people, mainly because the basic quality of the indigenous people of the Mother Earth Continent is too low.
The lower limit is low, so the effect is obvious.
The bodies of the three thieves were nourished, and they were still immersed in the illusion. They felt light and comfortable.
Even their burned hands were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Niu Ma, what are you doing?"
Ji Ruo's doubtful voice came.
"Master, you are still awake?" The Ox-Horse Dragon was excited: "These three humans wanted to eat me. I was afraid of hurting them if I resisted, so they dragged me here and cooked me. Master, please save me!"
"Save you?"
Ji Ruo, who was squatting on the tree, scratched his head and said, "I see you are enjoying this, aren't you?"
He didn't sleep, after all, this trip to the imperial capital was mainly for inspection.
What you can see during the day is limited, but you may be able to see more at night.
I didn't expect to see such a scene just after returning from an inspection.
The Ox-Horse Demon Dragon was actually boiled...
"It is indeed a bit comfortable, but I'm not used to this feeling. It feels weird to see humans drinking my bath water..." said the Ox-Horse Dragon somewhat embarrassedly.
"Is that so?" Ji Ruo smiled, jumped down from the tree, picked up a stick, and knocked out the three thieves.
"Thank you, Master."
Then, the man and his horse left the place, intending to join the others.
Since this is a survey, it will not only
"Oxen and horses." Ji Ruo suddenly said, "How do you feel about following me these few days?"
"Ah?" Niuma Molong didn't know why Ji Ruo suddenly asked this: "It feels good, it's much more interesting than my previous life alone. Things that I couldn't see clearly before, I can see clearly now.
Master, are you planning to sign a contract with me?"
"No, I just want to ask you something slightly private..." Ji Ruo thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Is there anything strange in your bloodline inheritance?"
"Strange things?" Niuma Molong thought about it carefully and said, "According to your human perspective, my bloodline inheritance is actually quite strange.
Master, what do you mean?"
"That is, about the birth of your dragon race."
"Born?" The Ox-Horse Dragon was a little confused: "Isn't that how babies are born? Through mating, laying eggs, hatching... and so on."
"That's not what I meant... Never mind, let me ask you another way. When is the earliest memory in your bloodline?"
"Earliest memory? Let me think..."
Niuma Molong recalled seriously.
"Take your time to think about it. There's no rush."
Ji Ruo patted the Ox-Horse Demon Dragon and recalled what had just happened.
In fact, he came here specifically to find the Ox-Horse Dragon.
Because Tang Dong just contacted him through Ji Xiaoxiao's special door.
The bottle of dragon blood obtained before had long been sent back to Shangxuanyuan by Ji Ruo. After all, bloodline inheritance is an ability unique to the demon race, and the bloodline power must be particularly stable.
Not to mention if it appeared on a monster, even if it appeared on a human, it wouldn't make sense.
At least at this stage, it is unreasonable.
At present, although humans are still evolving, and can even develop their bodies to a very strong level with the help of martial arts, their bloodlines are not stable enough to support the inheritance of bloodlines.
Only the demon race can do it.
Therefore, it is unreasonable for the Niu Ma Demon Dragon to say that their dragon clan can carry on bloodline inheritance.
It's a monster, and monsters don't have specific bloodlines, let alone stability.
Ji Ruo handed the dragon blood to Shangxuan Academy for research. Apart from the biological professional terms that Ji Ruo could not understand at all, Tang Dong told Ji Ruo that the genetic structure of the bottle of dragon blood was very strange and had obvious traces of bioengineering.
Simply put, the Ox, Horse, Demon Dragon, and even all the dragon monsters on the Mother Earth Continent are actually man-made!
This made Ji Ruo even more puzzled.
Because as of now, the technological level of Mother Earth is simply unable to support this level of bioengineering.
"It seems to be the world-destroying dragon that fought against the God of Law?"
Niu Ma Mo Long said uncertainly: "I should still have some earlier memories, but they are very vague, or maybe I haven't unlocked them yet."
"Is that so?"
Ji seemed to be thinking about something.
Is it Charles the God of Magic again?
This guy split his own divinity and evolved into many gods. Ji Ruo has only dealt with the parts of the eternal truth so far.
The Eye of Truth can reverse cause and effect, making everything imagined come true through it. The Mouth of Truth can make things happen as it says, and these are very powerful abilities.
Although I haven't come into contact with other parts yet, I think they should be very strong too.
Based on this guess, the other incarnations of the God of Law are probably not that weak either.
But even the elemental gods did not know which other gods were Charles' incarnations. Even though they knew the identity of the Eternal Truth, it was because magic and truth complement each other, and magicians were a group of people who pursued the truth.
"What is the matter, Master?"
"Nothing, just asking." Ji Ruo shook his head slightly: "It's getting late, let's go back first."
There was too little information available, and he couldn't analyze anything. He was not good at this.
Whether the Ox-Horse Dragon was man-made, and what the God of Magic Charles was planning, these actually had nothing to do with Ji Ruo.
If I can’t analyze it, I’ll just stop analyzing it.
Ji Ruo returned to his residence and shared his experiences with Liang Shixian. After that, he did not sleep but went out of the imperial capital to beg for wild vegetables.
By the way, I will also send messages to the guys who said today that they want to believe in me, and let Jonathan and others enter their dreams to help promote the business of the God of the Oven...
Although those people just said it casually because they wanted to eat something, Ji Ruo was serious about it.
People in Mother Earth don't eat wild vegetables. They either eat meat or bread, and there are very few vegetables in their recipes.
All good things must come to an end. Ji Ruo will eventually have to leave the Mother Earth Continent, but before leaving, he must at least let Ash and his sister master the ability to survive.
It is not enough to rely on God for everything; people still have to learn to rely on themselves.
…
The next day.
After washing and changing into new clothes, Ash and his sister caught everyone's attention.
Especially Nancy, she looked as delicate as a porcelain doll in her floral dress.
Ji Ruo took out a cart from his four-dimensional pocket and they were going to set up a stall today.
"Please lend me some more money! I'm sure I can make a profit this time!"
Just after setting up the stall, Ji Ruo and others saw a skinny guy begging someone not far away, and then he was beaten.
Ji Ruo shook his head slightly: "A day's plan begins in the morning. The ancients were right. You can watch a play early in the morning."
Liang Shixian's face darkened: "Is this how you understand this sentence?"
"Almost the same, anyway."
Emily asked curiously, "Why was he beaten? Also, why did he borrow money?"
Ash whispered, "Borrow money to gamble. There are many casinos on Lucky Street. The largest casino in the capital is also here. The people in the casino are scary."
"Casino?" Sheila wondered, "This place looks so poor, it doesn't look like there is a big casino here."
“That’s not surprising.”
Suddenly, a handsome man came over.
"This is Lucky Street. Everyone believes in luck. Think about it, where can luck be most directly manifested?"
"So that's how it is." Sheila suddenly realized: "A person's luck can be best reflected in the casino!"
Ji Ruo looked at the newcomer with vigilance, and said to Liang Shixian in secret: "Squad leader, be careful, this guy is not simple!"
"What do you mean?"
Liang Shixian asked seriously, "Do you know him? Or did you discover something?"
"Don't you see, monitor, his style is wrong?"
"???"
Liang Shixian rolled his eyes at Ji Ruo.
God, the style of painting is wrong!
How did you figure that out?!
This guy is just a little more handsome and looks more pleasing to the eye. What's so strange about that?
However, being pleasing to the eye is the problem.
Ji Ruo's first impression of this person was "beautiful and graceful like jade".
If it were Daxia, there would be no problem with this adjective, but this is Mother Earth.
How could a Westerner with blond hair and blue eyes be described as "beautiful and graceful like jade"?
"I haven't seen you before. Are you from other places? What are you buying?" the man asked curiously.
"This is spicy hot pot." Ji Ruo simply explained, "It's for food."
"Eat?!" The man was stunned: "These things, can they be eaten?!"
Ji Ruo's stall was filled with all kinds of colorful plants. To a person from the Earth Mother Continent, they were indeed a bit strange. In any case, he could not associate these things with "eating".
"That's right. Because we just opened, we haven't had time to prepare all kinds of vermicelli yet. For now, the only spicy hotpot we have is wild vegetable soup. But it's also delicious, spicy and refreshing. This customer, you are the first customer since the stall opened, so I can make the decision and give you a 99% discount."
Ji Ruo said enthusiastically.
Rosie followed Meow Meow and echoed: "Meow~ (Yes, yes, it's delicious!)"
The rest of the people had no experience in this area and could only watch and try to sell the product.
Liang Shixian was still confused by Ji Ruo's previous remark that "the style of painting is wrong".
Ash studied Ji Ruo's "talking skills" seriously, which would be one of the skills he would rely on for survival in the future.
"Is it really that delicious?" The man was a little hesitant: "It smells pretty good... How much do you sell it for?"
"Guests, you can choose any side dishes you like, and a bowl costs only five copper coins."
Ji Ruo actually didn't know much about the prices on the Earth Mother Continent, but since the bread sold under the name of the Skyhorn God of War was five copper coins each, then as the God of the Stove, it should be no problem for him to cook the bread himself and charge five copper coins.
Ji Ruo counted on his fingers and said, "Five copper coins, with a 99% discount, that's 4.95 copper coins. Rounding it off, five copper coins is just right."
guest:"???"
He took a breath and said, "Where did you get this discount?"
"It's mainly in the calculation process."
Ji Ruo said to Ash cheerfully, "By the way, don't learn this separately."
Ash nodded in confusion: "Oh."
"Give me a bowl."
The customer with abnormal painting style finally decided to eat a bowl.
Although eating spicy hot pot early in the morning is bad for the stomach, he doesn't know it.
"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir!"
Ji Ruo was cooking on the spot. Since he was mainly teaching Ash and his sister, he did not use any human palm techniques and the process was very conventional.
After a moment.
“Hiss—so spicy!”
After taking a bite, the customer's eyes immediately turned red: "But, it tastes so good! So delicious!"
"Yeah, hehe."
Nancy asked curiously, "Is it really delicious? Prince, can I have some too?"
"No." Ji Ruo shook his head slightly: "Eating spicy hot pot early in the morning is not good for your stomach. You are weak. I will make you some medicinal porridge later."
"oh."
The guest's mouth twitched and he pretended not to hear.
