Chapter 398 Brand new information! Chen Ming's decision
"You go on.
Chen Ming's four short words made the skinny old man let out a long sigh of relief...
Obviously, he is a man who knows the current affairs.
Knowing that if he offended Chen Ming, he might be killed if he behaved slightly poorly.
Just doing his job well, exploring the terrain, etc., doesn't give him much sense of security. Just like what Chen Ming said before... As long as he wants, he can make this group of people fall to the ground at any time, and In exchange for a new group of more obedient scholars.
Therefore, he was racking his brains to please Chen Ming.
After pondering for a while, the skinny old man spoke.
"Lord, it's like this..."
"The dragon, as the totem and symbol of our country, will be recorded in history every time it appears."
"Since the last time they appeared..."
"More than a thousand years have passed."
"And every time it appears, it symbolizes the emergence of troubled times, and the world's struggle for hegemony will be pushed onto the stage of history."
"So the kingdom attaches great importance to dragons."
"And for the brave man who can tame the dragon, he is regarded as a powerful person."
"If you don't mind, Lord, I will write a letter right now and order people to rush back to Dragon City to report your deeds to Dragon City. After that, you only need to wait to go back to receive the title and reward."
The old man spoke as respectfully as possible.
But Chen Ming frowned involuntarily.
It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with the old man's answer, but the repeated mention of Dragon City in the old man's answer made him frown.
Dragon City...
He didn't want to set foot there a second time if he could help it.
There was a woman there that he was quite afraid of.
Although the woman gave him a lot of benefits, Chen Ming believed that such gifts always came with a price.
The woman was bound and unable to leave. Now that Chen Ming had taken these benefits, he would never see her again.
No matter how generous the reward for that side quest is.
Chen Ming also had no idea at all.
Being too greedy will not end well.
"Can I not report it?"
Chen Ming asked.
The old man looked surprised.
Obviously, he never expected such an answer.
But he still replied, "That's definitely not possible. According to the rules, if you see a dragon-like creature, you must report it... This is not only the rule of our Imperial College, but also the military system to which this lady belongs."
"It can't be hidden."
"Besides, this is a good thing to honor our ancestors, why should we hide it?"
Audrey on the side also nodded, agreeing with this statement.
Hearing this, Chen Ming couldn't help but frown deeper.
He never thought about hiding Xiao Long.
It's just that he really doesn't want to go to Dragon City.
"Then can you not go to Dragon City?"
Chen Ming retreated and settled for the next best thing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were said, the shock on the faces of the two people became even worse.
Not going to Dragon City?
How could Chen Ming say such a thing?
No matter in the eyes of the old man or Audrey, the Dragon City where the ancestors are entrenched is a place that all Chinese people yearn for.
Being able to go to Dragon City is the highest honor.
But Chen Ming actually refused? !
"……Why?"
The old man was very puzzled.
"It's very busy. The guild territory is in dire need. As the guild leader, I can't leave."
Chen Ming said perfunctorily.
But it attracted a helpless look from Su Su and a big eye roll from the Queen.
Has this hands-off shopkeeper ever managed matters in the guild territory?
Fortunately he could speak out.
However, the two women did not cause trouble for Chen Ming.
The skinny old man naturally heard the perfunctory meaning in Chen Ming's words, but he did not ask further questions. Instead, after thinking for a while, he replied: "If you are unable to be there in person, you can ask your close relatives to accept the reward on your behalf... Remember, they must be close relatives with blood ties.”
Close blood relatives?
"Why?"
Chen Ming asked further.
"I don't know, but that's what is recorded in ancient books."
It's like not asking.
Chen Ming thought silently.
He thought of his sister immediately.
Anyway, my sister also plays games, and she plays them very casually. She belongs to a party that just stands around and has nothing to do all day long. It should be no problem to leave this task to her.
When the time comes, just tell your sister not to wander onto the street where that woman is.
"In this case, I will let my relatives do it for me."
"Okay, I will definitely convey it to the lord."
Then, the old man returned to the carriage.
The storm was resolved.
Chen Ming got the news about the reward.
At the same time, it also solved the problem of disunity within the team.
Although it took some time, the rewards were far beyond his imagination.
"The next step is to explore the lair of bandits and bandits nearby..."
"Queen, since your pet can't be used, let Xiaolong come."
"It can fly and be used for reconnaissance. It can be said to be a good hand."
With that said, Chen Ming patted Xiaolong's head.
It closed its eyes and rubbed Chen Ming very helpfully, and then flew over after Chen Ming raised his hand.
Between one person and one dragon, because there is a connection with the pet system, there is no need to communicate at all, and they have already communicated with each other.
Soon, the little dragon circled and flew away.
Chen Ming looked at Xiaolong disappearing into the sky and withdrew his gaze.
"Let's wait a while."
