The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (103)
"Hey, why are you guys so weak?"
Song Ning was really surprised that these guys were so weak. Before he could even draw his greatsword, each of them had taken a punch from Lance and fallen to the ground.
He patted them on the left and right to confirm that the three people were genuinely unconscious and not faking it, before signaling to his own members.
"You guys stay here and deal with them, we'll head back first."
To his surprise, the few members of the Alliance who had previously tried to discuss things with him all agreed immediately and rushed over to resolve the issue, as if they were afraid something was chasing them.
Song Ning only hesitated for a few seconds before understanding why this was happening. After all, those guys were busy working while constantly glancing at Lance's expression, making it difficult for him not to understand.
Song Ning then remembered that he was used to fighting with Lance and was well aware that Lance had only used less than one-tenth of his strength just now, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But for this group of people, this was the first time they had directly faced what kind of combat power this powerful figure could provide, and this combat power was also a kind of deterrent to them.
So when Song Ning spoke up this time, and they realized that the powerful figure who had always been by 'Lord Ning's' side was actually so strong, they inexplicably became a little timid.
After figuring out what was going on, Song Ning found it a little funny, but then he thought it was just human nature and he didn't want to dwell on it.
There are more important things to do right now.
After tying up the three men in black robes and taking them away, telling them to make a scene when the time came, Song Ning and his team continued their infiltration.
“Those three men in black robes are the ones I saw and told you about the other day, but the item isn’t on them.”
Without those few Tongmenghui members following them, their actions actually became faster.
"Well, if it's not on them, it's most likely given to Iphis. As long as he doesn't carry it with him, the chances of us finding it are very high."
The two men worked in perfect unison, one on each side, to take down the guards at the same time, and then continued to sneak forward.
“Iphis is unlikely to carry it with him. Their relationship is so strained right now, and that thing is basically used to track dragons. If he carries it and it gets discovered, it would be tantamount to confirming his crime of theft.”
Although Song Ning really hoped things would develop this way, he unfortunately believed that Ephis, with her cunning and shrewdness, would not do such a thing.
During their conversation, the two figures moved like ghosts, successfully infiltrating the area and evading everyone.
"They'll make a scene in an hour as agreed. We'll split up to search; time is running out."
Upon entering the room, Song Ning didn't have time to complain about the church's extravagant lifestyle, no matter where they went. The glittering gold made his head ache. The most important thing was to find the things as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll go over there."
The room was large, and Song Ning started looking around from the head of the bed.
No, he only found a few strangely scented candles here. He couldn't tell what their effects were, but since he was already here, he might as well take them.
Song Ning searched the bedside table, behind the painting above the bed, on the floor under the bed, and even the huge crystal chandelier on the ceiling. He also carefully knocked on the floor with the wool blanket he had collected, but he still couldn't find it.
"Could it be that Iphis really didn't hide it? That shouldn't be the case. Isn't that guy afraid of losing something so important?"
Although it seemed unlikely, Song Ning changed her mind.
He started looking for other places, like some more conspicuous ones...
"Ningning, is this it?"
Lance found it first, and he quickly walked over with a scale-like object in his hand.
He was holding the scales in one hand, but his other hand was gripping his wrist. Song Ning asked instinctively, "What happened to your hand?"
Taking the scale from Lance's hand, the first thing you feel upon touching it is a pure coolness.
But what followed was a feeling that made Song Ning feel very uneasy. He had experienced this feeling before, when the plague magic descended.
"Is this... a curse?"
What else could be aura similar to plague magic?
He immediately realized something, looked down in shock at the scale in his hand, and saw that it actually had the aura of a curse.
"not quite."
Lance shook his head. At first glance, the half of his wrist that he was holding seemed fine, but upon closer inspection, it was not hard to see that fine, dense scales were spreading from his fingertips. The unique scales of the dragon covered the humanoid fingertips and spread all the way up to his collarbone. Half of his body seemed to be exuding the aura of a ferocious beast.
"This is a magical artifact made from the reverse scale of a dragon. The person who made it is very powerful. Ordinary people cannot obtain the reverse scale of a dragon. If a dragon does not shed its skin willingly, anyone who obtains the reverse scale will be cursed."
Song Ning glanced cautiously at the scale in her hand. "So what is this now?"
He hadn't felt anything after holding it for so long, and besides, if there really was a problem, Lance wouldn't have let him take it.
In comparison, no matter how you look at it, Lance seems more like the one who got into trouble.
"That's why he's so powerful. He reversed the original curse, turning it into something that, if it fell into the hands of a dragon, would instead unleash the dragon's violent nature, and if there were other dragons nearby, they would become more active upon sensing their kin."
That's why he couldn't control himself from touching the sensitive spot after he got it. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have reverted to his original form on the spot.
Song Ning was terrified. Just as he had imagined, if this thing really fell into the hands of the church, then Lance's whereabouts would eventually be exposed and he would be unable to hide them.
That would be a much bigger problem for them.
"What else is there to say? The item has been found. Let's stop thinking about it and get out of here right now."
Without a second thought, Song Ning put the item into his storage container and then took out an even larger cloak for Lance so that he could hide the dragon claw so that no one could see it.
Just as the two had hidden themselves and were about to leave, they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Song Ning tensed up, cautiously pulling Lance behind her before carefully looking out the window. Her eyes widened in disbelief at what she was seeing.
The Knights of Light and Iphis led the way, their expressions clearly delighted. Not far behind them, a figure that Song Ning knew all too well was escorted in by two Knights of Light, one on each side.
Alpha was captured by that old man Iphis?!
