Chapter 143 Taboo: Shadow of the Dragon

[There is a legend on the sea that an ancient treasure is buried in the mysterious sea of ​​the Shire Islands]

[Many explorers came to the Shire Islands in order to obtain this treasure]

[You are also one of the explorers. After making all preparations, you headed to the Xiaer Islands, but suddenly encountered a terrible storm.]

[You fell into a coma during that terrible storm. When you woke up, you found yourself on a mysterious island——]

[Mission: Find a way to escape from this island]

"..."

When Deya came back to his senses from the scene that looked like a game CG, he found himself standing on a beach.

The sky was gloomy, with thick dark clouds rolling, as if a rainstorm would fall at any time.

There was soft sand under his feet and a dense jungle behind him.

In the distance of the jungle, there is a tall mountain range shrouded in thick fog. In the dim fog, you can even glimpse a towering building on the mountain.

Near this beach, there are countless broken ships scattered around. These ships have been rotten after being soaked in water, which shows that they have been sunk on this beach for a long time.

Deya checked the surrounding environment in a very short time.

Finally, his gaze fell on Mavis, who was getting up from the ground beside him.

The elf girl was wearing a white chiffon dress and her silver-white hair woven with petals was as gorgeous as a vase of blooming flowers.

The girl has snow-white skin, a beautiful face that is spotless, and beautiful eyes that are like emeralds inlaid on them.

Her swan-like beautiful neck turned slightly at this time, and like Deya, she checked the surrounding environment at the first moment.

After finding herself on a beach, Mavis frowned. The petite girl raised her head and looked at Deya, and could see the solemnity and confusion in the other's eyes.

"We have entered the Remembrance of Forbidden Wonders."

Deya said softly.

Mavis's face looked ugly. She let out a breath and said, "This is the second time I have inexplicably run into a forbidden memory."

"the second time?"

Deya was stunned for a moment, and finally realized.

The first time Mavis inexplicably entered the forbidden memory, it should be because of herself last time.

He joked, "It seems like we are destined to be together. We were both participants in two consecutive forbidden-level recollections."

Deya's casual attitude made Mavis feel bad. She whispered, "Be serious. This is a forbidden memory. If we are not careful, we will die."

“Of course I know the danger here, but it is precisely because of the danger that I want to say something happy so that everyone won’t feel so heavy.

You were clearly giving me a catheter just now, but now you have run into the world memory. The environment changes too quickly."

"Shut up, don't say such things!"

Mavis shouted angrily.

At this moment, she seemed to feel that her right hand was still sticky, and she shook it subconsciously.

I don't know where this damn necromancer gets so much energy. It would be fine if he just did it with that witch normally, but he even forced me to use my hands to solve his physiological problems.

Now it's his hands, but Mavis suspects that soon he will let her use his mouth, or some other part of his body.

It’s just that Mavis had signed a contract with him, so she couldn’t resist him and could only let him do what he wanted.

Seeing that the solemn atmosphere had dissipated and Mavis was no longer tense, Deya asked, "Can you wake up the other you?"

If the Eight-Ring Lord of the White Tower could be awakened, the danger of this forbidden recollection would be greatly reduced.

Mavis looked grim: “No, I can’t get in touch with the other me for the time being, as if the relationship between us is severed.

I know what you want to ask. In the last forbidden recollection, I forced myself to leave the recollection.

But that method can only be done by another me, and even if the method is still available, it can only take me away, not you."

Losing contact with her other self made Mavis anxious.

She thought she would feel happy and excited after she broke off the connection with her other self.

after all,

This has been her goal all along, to separate the other self.

But when this incident really happened, Mavis realized that it did not make her feel any happiness. Instead, it made her lose her sense of security, as if everything around her was lurking with danger.

This frightened her and terrified her.

Mavis' mind revived the thoughts that she had been avoiding in the past.

in fact,

I have always been taken care of by another self, and it is because of her that I can live so willfully.

Facing the truth in her heart, Mavis was very frightened.

Deya suddenly reached out and touched Mavis's little head.

Her hair was as smooth as silk and had a faint coolness, making it hard to believe that it was actually her hair.

Mavis's irritable heart slowly calmed down, and then she realized what Deya was doing. She slapped his hand away, looked at him with disgust and said, "Don't touch me with your dirty hands."

Deya smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly realized that Patricia had returned.

A black dot was flying quickly on the choppy sea surface ahead.

The doll lady in a Gothic dress came to Deya and said solemnly: "Deya, there is a magic puzzle lock one thousand meters ahead of the coast.

The mystery lock completely seals off the island. I'm afraid we can't open it."

Just after entering the world of recollection, Deya discovered something in the distance on the sea, and he asked Patricia to go over and check it out.

"The mystery lock that seals the island?"

Deya pondered for a moment.

This mystery lock should be similar to the border of a map, which does not allow people to leave the island, thus forcing them to complete the task of recalling the past.

Of course, if Deya was an eighth- or ninth-ring warrior, he might not have to carry out the mission, but could forcibly break the mystery lock and leave the memories.

Deya took a deep breath and said to Mavis and Patricia: “The current environment is very strange.

First of all, if this is the world remembrance, but we didn’t see other people participating in the remembrance.

It is possible that the other people who participated in the World Remembrance were ‘born’ in other places, or that this World Remembrance only involved Mavis and I.”

Deya looked towards the mist-shrouded mountain in the distance and continued, “…The forbidden object is a curse. The reason why Mavis and I inexplicably entered this world is to recall it.

It should be because she and I both possess forbidden items."

Deya has two forbidden items, [Dark Moon Doll] and [Beyond Death], and Mavis also has [Future Gospel].

"Another strange thing is that there seems to be no living things here. There are no fish in the sea, no marine life on the shore, no seabirds in the sky, and there doesn't seem to be any living things in the jungle over there."

Deya's words reminded Mavis, and she then noticed that the surrounding environment was too strange and quiet. Apart from the sound of the waves, there was no sound from any living creature. It was as if this was a deserted island!
but……

Mavis also looked at the mountain in the distance. The castle-like building looming on it proved that this was definitely not a deserted island.

"Mavis, do you have anything to add to the introduction of this world's memories? Although I am a mage, my knowledge is still too small compared to this vast world."

Mavis lowered her head and looked at the pair of snow-white feet under her skirt. She twisted her toes and said, "The Shire Islands are located in the northern ocean of the continental island where you are, and also to the west of the Narbo Empire."

Mavis seemed a little hesitant as she spoke: “…The entrance to the Emerald Courtyard of the Elven Kingdom is in the Shire Islands.

The Shire Islands have always been shrouded in a great mystery, which is almost integrated with the natural environment of the entire archipelago. It was set up by the elves to prevent humans from discovering the secrets of the kingdom. "

This matter involves the most important secret of the elves, so Mavis hesitated.

But in order to leave this world alive and reminisce, she still revealed this important information.

"Are you trying to say that this World Memory might be related to the elves? But the name of this World Memory tells us that it should be related to dragons and the mysterious 'evil'."

The Shadow of the Dragon...

Whether it is a dragon or an evil, it sounds difficult to deal with. It is worthy of being a forbidden world memory.

Not to mention Long's strength, there is also the existence of Nie. Although Deya doesn't know much about Nie, the teacher was beaten by Nie and only had his head left!

He could only hope that this recollection would not be too exaggerated.

Otherwise, Deya would really have to say "can't win"!
At this moment, Deya and the others all looked in one direction and saw a figure walking towards the beach.

"Someone!"

Deya whispered.

Patricia said quickly, "I'll hide first. Call me when you need me."

After all,

Patricia climbed straight into the small wooden box that came with her.

The puppet's presence is too conspicuous.

Deya said, "Mavis, use magic to cover up your spirit symbol. It would be best if you use illusion to change your appearance. You are too beautiful."

"I know it without you having to tell me!"

Mavis snorted and quickly used a spell to cover up her elf-like pointed ears and make her appearance more ordinary.

But even so, even if her appearance became ugly, she was still a beauty that most people could not compare to.

When Deya praised her beauty, she felt an inexplicable ripple of joy deep in her heart.

Mavis is a priest, but in her witch form she created a magic item specifically for situations like this.

Soon, the black spot came closer, and Deya and Mavis saw that the person coming was actually a young child.

Judging from his appearance, he was probably about ten years old. He was wearing ragged clothes that were patched together, and he didn't even have shoes. His dirty feet were stepping on the beach, as if he was looking for something.

However, what surprised Deya and Mavis was the appearance of the child.

His skin was covered with fine scales and he had a red tail behind him. He was actually a half-dragon!

Especially from the other party's appearance, he is a half-dragon with extremely strong dragon blood. It is very likely that his father or mother is a dragon.

The little boy saw Deya and Mavis who were not hiding. He was surprised and ran over quickly, saying excitedly:
"Big brother, big sister, you...did you encounter a shipwreck? I just saw a ship floating in the distance and ran aground on the beach."

Deya remained calm, nodded slowly, and said kindly: “We encountered a storm, the hull was damaged, and people fainted.

When we woke up, we were here. Little friend, can you tell me where this is?"

"This is the Shire Islands. Storms always appear suddenly nearby. I saw your ship was in trouble, so I came to check it out. Eh? Where is your ship?"

The half-dragon child looked at the coast in confusion. There were long-abandoned ships all around, but no new ships.

"Our ship may have drifted away."

Deya and Mavis entered a world of recollection, not a real shipwreck, so of course there was no ship.

But in the setting, they are indeed victims.

The half-dragon child was a little disappointed and murmured, "The boat has drifted away. This is troublesome."

As he spoke, he saw Deya and Mavis staring at him. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I, I am a half-dragon. I didn't scare you, did I?"

Deya shook his head gently, "I've seen other half-dragons before, and they weren't scary enough."

Deya lied.

Dragons are different from other races. They don't have the kind of racial curse that makes humans hate them.

Dragons only frighten humans because of their strength and huge bodies.

Deya suspected that it might be because the dragons were so powerful that those inexplicable racial curses did not appear.

Therefore, half-dragons are different from half-elves, half-orcs, etc. They are not hated by any other race.

"So you have seen other half-dragons, um...my father is a dragon, my mother told me so, of course, I have never seen my father.

He left before I was born.”

At this point, a trace of loneliness flashed across the little boy's face.

But what Deya saw in his eyes was more hidden hatred.

“Most dragons are like this; they are lustful by nature, but rarely take responsibility for their offspring.

After impregnating females of other species, male dragons will choose to leave. "

Well, just like black guys.

Deya muttered to himself.

“I see, that dragon is not a good thing. It made my mother… I’m sorry, I said something I shouldn’t have said.

By the way, come with me to the town. If you want to leave here, you can wait here for a while. There will always be some large merchant ships passing by this island, and you can leave with them when the time comes."

Saying,

The little boy turned his head as if guilty, stepped on the beach with his bare feet, and ran forward.

Mavis then said, "He's lying!"

Deya nodded slightly: "I know he is lying. Let's follow him first, walk slowly, and get some words out of him, but don't really follow him to some unknown destination."

In fact, Deya wanted Mavis to kill this half-dragon and then use magic to interrogate his soul. The answer obtained in this way would be more reliable.

However, Deya still doesn't understand the memories of this world, so he is cautious and does not plan to use force to solve the problem right away.

Mavis nodded slightly, and the two of them just caught up, but the development of things was beyond their expectations.

The little boy suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, turned around, and said shamefully:

"Um...I'm sorry, I, I just lied to you, you must not follow me."
