Chapter 259: Don't Covet the Dragon's Daughter 27

Although Mingnan felt that Les was seeking his own welfare, he had to admit that this method was indeed effective.

After a few days of "exercise" that caused back pain, Mingnan himself began to sense the power fluctuations of the demon species.

Les thought of something and pulled out an old box from under the bed. After he dusted it off and opened it, a smell of aged wood filled his face.

Mingnan couldn't help but wrinkle his nose, turned his head and sneezed loudly.

Les hurriedly dragged the box away, then took out a thick, dark brown book from it. The cover was curled and would almost fall apart if it was opened.

He patted it hard on both sides to get rid of all the dust, then brought it to Mingnan and said, "Take a look."

"What is this?"

Mingnan took it, turned a page carefully, and then found... she couldn't understand it.

There are strange and distorted words painted on it. It is more like ghost writing than writing.

"This is the history book of our dragon race. It records the major events we experienced from birth to reproduction to each generation. It also records some uncommon magic spells."

Les sat down next to Mingnan, with his tail tucked up and the book held between the two of them.

Mingnan couldn't help but think again, [The tail is really useful. ]

Les turned and looked at her with a smile.

Luckily she doesn't have a tail, so she can only touch his if she likes it, hehe~

"So all these are the ghost... words of your dragon clan?"

Mingnan almost let the cat out of the bag and quickly changed his words.

Les: “…”

He rubbed Mingnan's hair helplessly, pointed at a line of words that looked like earthworms crawling around and said, "This is a magic spell. At first, all the magic spells on the mainland were like this. But later, human wizards came to learn from us, and they rewrote the magic encyclopedia in their own language, which led to the current popular version."

"However, some spells are too obscure, so it is easy to make mistakes when translating them, which will lead to new magic and produce unexpected effects, which will lead to new spells. Over time, human and dragon magic have formed two branches."

Mingnan was startled. "How did you know that your inherited memory has awakened?"

Les nodded and looked at her meaningfully. "Maybe it's because the estrus period is over and I am a real adult dragon, so some of the memories hidden in my blood have awakened."

Mingnan: “…”

Feeling that the topic was about to turn to an unspeakable mosaic, Mingnan quickly lowered his head and continued reading.

"So what clues did you come up with when you found this book?"

I didn't fall for it.

Les looked away regretfully, "Well, I was thinking, I know most magic, if I don't know, then it must be human magic, or some lost ancient magic. But you should know human magic, if you don't know——"

Les turned a page and said, "That wizard probably used ancient magic. Maybe we can find the answer here."

"But I don't know these words. How long will it take you to find them by yourself?"

Mingnan looked at the book, which was much thicker than a brick, with a complicated expression.

"It would probably take three days and three nights to find it with my eyes. However, a magical problem must be solved with magic."

Les smiled and held Mingnan's hand, saying softly, "It may be a little painful, just bear with it."

Mingnan blinked, and the next moment he opened his mouth and bit her index finger. The sharp teeth pierced her fingertip with a little force, and a round drop of blood came out. Les immediately pinched her finger and pressed it on the closed dragon eyes on the cover of the magic book.

The moment the blood dripped, a red light became brighter and the evil dragon suddenly opened its golden eyes!

When Mingnan met its gaze, his breathing stopped for a moment.

Such a strong pressure!

It turns out that the dragon on the cover is not just a picture, it is very likely that the soul of an evil dragon is sealed inside.

Soon, her guess came true.

The evil dragon on the cover flew out immediately after absorbing her blood, and the palm-sized black dragon plunged into the thick magic book.

Les's tail loosened, and the magic book floated in the air by itself, suddenly opened, and the pages flipped, finally stopping at a certain page.

Mingnan looked closely and saw a line of strange spells light up.

"What does this say?"

Les stared at it for a while, then laughed, "So that's it."

When the spell faded, the dragon returned to the cover. Les pointed at the spell and said, "This is a kind of magic specifically targeting dragons. It was created by another evil force on the continent. Just plant a magic seed in a living creature and then place it next to the dragon. The seed will absorb the dragon's breath and magic power, and it will slowly recover."

"At first, its fluctuations are subtle and difficult for the dragon to notice, but over time, the dragon will feel sleepy and weak and fall into a deep sleep."

"But once the demon seed is ripened, it will only be effective for fifteen days. After fifteen days, it will disappear without leaving any trace."

Mingnan frowned, "Just like that?"

Les nodded. "Yes, because the dragon itself is immune to all kinds of magic. As long as the dragon is given enough time, any magic will be metabolized by us. So this kind of magic can only make the dragon sleep for a short time and unable to resist."

He stroked the yellowed pages of the magic book and said, "In the beginning of the Sith Continent, the evil dragons were the real rulers, but in fact we had no ambition to rule the continent, so the evil dragon ancestors taught humans magic to allow them to reproduce and survive. But as the number of people increased, there were good people and bad people."

"They were jealous of our unfathomable power, so they began to spread the word that we were evil dragons and would destroy the world sooner or later. Some people believed them and joined the fight against the evil dragons. They came together to use various schemes to frame us, but when they found that they couldn't defeat us head-on, they simply used roundabout ways to send us jewelry, beauties, and various juicy prey to seek peace."

"The evil dragon leader trusted those greedy humans. He fell in love with one of the beauties at first sight, beat her back to his home, and picked a cute rabbit from his prey for her to raise as a toy."

Mingnan understood immediately after hearing this, "Were both the beauty and the rabbit possessed by evil spirits?"

Les nodded. "The demon seed can only survive on living creatures, but they don't know it. The chief and the beauty lived a very happy life until the demon seed took effect and he began to fall into a coma. The beauty panicked and asked other dragons to show him."

"That day, all the dragons gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Those people got the news and, under the pretext of visiting, they kidnapped the beauty and killed the evil dragon leader."

As he spoke, an expression of disgust could not be controlled on Les's face. "There were many people at that time, and many of them knew magic. They fought a great battle with the dragons, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Later, a branch of the human race that was close to the dragons took some of the new small tribes and fled to the east, south, and north continents to hide their strength."
