Chapter 449: The Single-edged Sword Dominates the Future
"Master, are you injured?"
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Erica didn't have time to carefully observe this dragon treasure house which was also mysterious even in the cult.
For the Dragonborn, this place filled with dragon wealth and creations is more important than any gathering place.
Of course, not every dragonborn can enter such a place, and even the existence of the dragon treasury is known to not many people in the cult.
There was an undisguised weakness in the leader's voice, and a faint smell of blood could be smelled.
“Ahem…”
The cult leader came out from the corner, holding onto the wall. The moment she saw him, Alia's pupils suddenly shrank, "Master, you..."
At this time, the leader's body was densely covered with red stones. The mineral-like things kept falling off, leaving pits and holes on his arms.
And from that hollow, there came a disgusting smell of decay.
For a dragonborn, there is only one thing that can cause this.
Dragon Madness.
"Master, you..." Erica opened her mouth, but no sound came out. After a long while, she said, "Are you going to leave us too?"
Dragon Rage is always a problem that Dragonborn cannot escape. It is like the birth, aging, sickness and death of humans. For Dragonborn, Dragon Rage means that aging, illness and death appear together at a certain stage of life.
It was not the first time that Erica had seen her fellow Dragon Maniac. Their bodies were covered with foreign matter, then rotted and twisted. Then their minds started to go wild and violent, and finally they went mad and indiscriminately attacked everything they saw.
In the Dragon Cult, if there are Dragonborns, they will often ask those close to them in the cult to help them get rid of the first two stages of Dragon Madness, when foreign objects grow on their bodies and their flesh begins to rot and twist.
Erica has been a member of the Dragon Order for so many years. She has helped many people to be liberated and has memorized everyone's faces.
But she never thought that the leader of the sect who always stood in front of them would now be infected with the [Dragon Madness].
"Erica, how's the situation with the Order going?"
The leader of the cult seemed to not care about his own condition at all, and asked about the Dragon Worshiping Cult, as if he was not in the midst of [Dragon Madness], but just giving a normal work report.
"The message that has been released is for the Dragonborn to get as close to the city of Rothal as possible, but why do you want to let them get closer, Master?"
Although Erica followed the arrangements of the leader of the sect, she still had doubts in her heart. This time she came here for a reason.
"for what?"
The head of the cult covered his mouth and coughed twice, "Probably, to survive."
As soon as she finished speaking, Erica suddenly felt the danger approaching, and her body subconsciously dodged. At the same time, she used the power of space to try to create distance, but she found that in this place, her spatial ability was greatly suppressed.
"ah!"
Erica was hit on the back with such strong and brutal force that her spine was almost broken. She vomited blood and fell forward.
But this was not the end, a dagger stretched out from the darkness, pierced Erica's shoulder, and disabled one of her hands.
Suffering a severe blow instantly, Erica endured the pain and exerted her strength to the limit. She opened her dragon eyes and detonated the power of space to the limit, forcing herself to move out of the encirclement.
"Master, why!!!"
She had seen clearly just now that those who took action were high-ranking members of the cult, and half of their faces were covered with the twisted and rotten flesh of the cult leader.
Those pieces of flesh were like living things, constantly going in and out of their eye sockets, ear holes, nostrils, and mouths.
These people were controlled.
And the person who controls them is none other than the head of the cult.
"I told you, for the sake of survival." The head of the cult spoke slowly, "You are worthy of being Erica. You can avoid fatal injuries in this environment where your spatial ability is suppressed."
"If I didn't have Dragon Madness, I might have trained you as my deputy."
Perhaps he was certain that Erica could not escape, or perhaps the [Dragon Madness] had caused some mental problems for the cult leader, and the cult leader began to babble about the secrets in his heart.
"To be honest, I don't want to do this either, whether it's secretly capturing a few dragonborns for experiments or putting dragon factors into the water source, but the thing pointed out by the prophecy is what I have always dreamed of. In order to fulfill the prophecy and become the Dragon King, I can only do that."
"There is one thing you may not know. When a dragonborn is in a state of Dragon Madness, it can absorb the flesh and blood of other dragonborn to alleviate its own symptoms. So I controlled the top leaders of the cult, and then all the dragonborn in the surrounding cities. Their only role is to become my special medicine to alleviate the Dragon Madness."
The head of the cult raised his hands high and shouted frantically:
"Come on! Give me your flesh and blood first!"
"Give me your future!"
"Give me everything you have!"
"I will take on the role of the Dragon King and allow dragons to reappear in this world. I will lead you to witness the return of the Dragon Age."
The lights in the dragon's treasury gradually dimmed, and the voice of the leader of the cult came from the darkness.
"Rest in peace."
…
Early in the morning, Mo Cheng woke up Lilia and Taisai.
After experiencing the incident of being attacked every time they walked on the street, Mo Cheng suddenly felt that the training plan for the two little guys could not be stopped, so since that day on , the two little guys no longer had time to sleep in.
Early in the morning, since Taisai had no basic skills, Mo Cheng asked him to do a series of physical exercises such as weighted running, and then enter into meditation after he had exhausted his physical strength.
In the absence of relevant instruments, Mo Cheng could only use this clumsy method to see whether Taisai was suitable for a warrior or a mage.
As for Lilia, she has a new course today.
"Today we are going to learn martial arts."
Mo Cheng pointed to the ground, where there were many wooden weapons of various styles. They were training items that Mo Cheng had spent a lot of effort to make.
"Pick one you like."
There were swords, spears, halberds, sticks, whips, hooks, flails, sickles, and even judge's pens, nunchakus and other exotic weapons. There were so many types that Lilia had no idea where to start.
"How about this?"
Lilia picked out a sword-shaped weapon from the collection. It had a blade on only one side and only the top edge on the other side. It looked like a knife, but the tip of the blade was like a sword tip and was sharpened on both sides. It was a strange-looking weapon.
"Single-edged sword? Why did you choose this thing?"
“Isn’t this good?”
Mo Cheng looked at the single-edged sword in Lilia's hand and began to recall when he made this thing, but after looking at the weapons all over the ground, he gave up thinking.
Obviously, when a boy gets so into making weapons, he doesn't even bother to calculate what he's made.
He will just keep creating things according to his own ideas until he is satisfied .
"That's not the case. After all, as the saying goes: a single-edged sword dominates the future."
"But it turns out that the single-edged sword has no future at all."
