Mystery Comes to the Dragon Race

Chapter 409
……

If a stranger suddenly pops up in a completely unfamiliar place, he says he is here to help you.

Only a fool would believe such a suspicious thing!
Old Tang sized up the person who claimed to be here to help them, and complained silently in his heart.

Do you think he is a young man who doesn't understand anything?Just a joke, not to mention Norton's tens of thousands of years of memory and experience, just as old Tang, a bounty hunter, has already seen a lot of things.

How could a few simple words fool him?
"You said you were here to help us, so tell me how you can help us?" Old Tang scoffed at the other party's words, but he didn't continue to make detours with this guy.Instead, ask directly.

Although the other party is indeed more suspicious now, on this island, so are the few of them.

In this peaceful town that seems to be derailed from modern society, no matter where they are, they seem so out of place.

There are doubts everywhere here, and Old Tang can't even catch a angle to cut in, because no matter which angle it is, it is very thought-provoking.Until now, they have not been completely sure whether this utopia is in danger.

And now the person who jumped out suddenly said something to help them, calling them "foreigners".It gives people a sense of sight as a game NPC, but it may give some useful clues.

After all, game NPCs always pop up like this suddenly, and then ask if they need help.

So, even though he felt that the person in front of him looked very suspicious, Old Tang decided to give it a try.

After all, if you don't try, how will you know if the other party is sincere?And is the purpose of the other party questionable?If there is really some interest, wouldn't he have missed a big fish?
Old Tang's thoughts were spinning, but on the other side, the man had an open face and was not intimidated by Old Tang's sharp eyes.

"I know that you were trapped on this island because of the storm, right. I even know more, such as... your history."

The man spoke in a relaxed manner.

The other party's attitude made Old Tang even more vigilant. The other party seemed to have known about the existence of several of them for a long time, and seemed to have a little understanding of them, even the reason why they were exposed to the sea water.

"I know far more than you think. You need help, but I also hope that you can help me. Isn't it great to cooperate with each other for mutual benefit?" If you don't understand.

Old Tang narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the man in front of him.

The man's appearance is ordinary, his clothes are ordinary, his forehead is slightly wide, his facial features are sharp and angular, his lips are thin, and he has a faint smile, giving people a very reliable and trustworthy feeling.

The monocle for the right eye seems to add a more mature and stable atmosphere.

However, Old Tang did not dare to be blinded by appearances.

The scariest thing in this world is the pretender.

They always like to wrap themselves in layers of fog, making it difficult for people to see through.

Old Tang snorted coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Hearing this, the man still smiled, "Don't be nervous, I just want to tell you that it's not accidental that you came to this utopia this time, and there are some secrets hidden behind it."

Old Tang pondered for a while, then asked, "What secret?"

The man shook his head, "How would I know this kind of thing? I can't guess the meaning of that great being. I can't even think of his name... because... I was also a victim once."

There was a little mockery in his tone, and a little bit of loneliness in his tone.

As he spoke, the man paused, watching Old Tang's reaction.

Seeing the unpredictability of Old Tang's face, he seemed to be thinking about the veracity of what he said.

The man continued to confuse, "What I know is definitely more detailed than you imagined. Would you like to cooperate with me to uncover the truth of this matter?"

As soon as his words fell, Old Tang immediately replied, "Why should we trust you?"

Old Tang always had reservations about what this man said.

After all, in a strange place, any slight disturbance would involve other factors.They just came here, all the information is still unclear, and it is impossible to draw a judgment.

"You can't choose, can't you? Besides cooperating with me, do you have other options?" The man shrugged his shoulders, restrained his smile just now, and did not hide the contempt and sarcasm on his face, "You are already I've been here for half a day, but unfortunately, you haven't found any useful clues, have you?"

"..." Old Tang felt that his fist was a little hard.

However, Old Tang couldn't refute what the other party said.Because what the other party said is indeed true.

After staying here for most of the day, they couldn't find any useful information at all. The only thing that was slightly useful was to confirm that there was a boat here, and they could barely go to sea.

And now they don't even know where they are.Even if he asked the staff at the port to ask for a sea chart, he found that he couldn't understand the words on it at all... and the continents and oceans drawn on it seemed to be slightly different from the world map he knew.

This situation really made him a little frustrated.

"Since you know us, then you must also have your channels and means. I need evidence, not just empty words and random fabricated lies."

Old Tang spoke slowly and firmly, and he looked at the other party with eyes full of scrutiny and inquiry.

His eyes faintly shone with a little gold, revealing a strong majesty invisibly.

This kind of aura comes from the supreme aura of the Dragon King.

With such an oppressive aura, even the mysterious figure standing in front of Old Tang couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly. Surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Of course." He said, took out two newspapers from his body, and threw them to Old Tang.

Old Tang reached out and took the newspaper. It was a very old-fashioned newspaper. The paper was yellowish and rough to the touch. It didn't look like the craftsmanship of modern newspapers.

After opening it, what came into view...

It was words that he could not understand at all.

"..."

Old Tang glared at the other party angrily, "What do you mean?"

"Sure enough, you can't understand the text here, right?" the man said with a smile.

Old Tang snorted coldly, "Are you kidding me?"

In this regard, the man spread his hands, "It's nothing, I'm just demonstrating my guess, this is the current common language on the island. As you can see, this is not the language you have mastered. But you can and Isn't it strange that other people on the island communicate fluently?"

"You..." Old Tang was at a loss for words for a moment. He also knew that this matter was unusual, but he couldn't think of any reason why he was able to communicate with the people on the island. Obviously, it sounded to him that what the people on the island said was true. It's Chinese.

And they can even lip-sync.

But since this person has made it clear...

"Do you know something?" Old Tang asked sullenly.

The other party raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Sorry, I don't know."

"..."

Old Tang's fist clenched tighter and tighter.

The man looked at Old Tang's expression, and the smile on his face deepened, "Because this kind of thing involves a certain existence. Even if I know, I can only say that I don't know."

"What is your goal?"

Old Tang suddenly changed the subject, he wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.

"You hint at me everywhere in your words. But there is a big secret behind my utopia, and you want to lead me to find the truth. Our purpose is only to leave here. But you are deliberately trying to get us involved at a deeper level... ..." Old Tang sneered a few times, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Don't think I don't know. When it comes to unknown things, the less you know, the safer you are."

Laughing dead, this is his personal experience.

As the Dragon King, he has never seen any scenes.If his human identity had not been discovered, he could live in peace with other humans.

But once someone discovers his true identity, it is obvious that the other party will not survive.

The same is used here.

If there really are some existences beyond people's imagination on this island, even existences beyond the Dragon King, then the best way must be to roll as far as possible and get out of here as soon as possible.

Moreover, this routine is also used in novels, movies, games and TV dramas.

Curiosity can kill a cat.

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had expected this result.

"You are a smart person." He praised without hesitation, "But sometimes being too smart is not necessarily a good thing. I think you should understand this truth."

Old Tang glanced at him coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

The man smiled and shook his head, "I just hope that we can reach a consensus. Although I do know a lot, there are some things I can't tell you. As you said, the less you know about some things, the better."

"I think what you need most now is the news I provide to help you get out of here, doesn't it?"

Old Tang didn't answer.

Of course he also wanted to leave here as soon as possible, but...he always felt that this man was not telling the truth, maybe he was suspicious, and he couldn't tell for sure. After all, this person's identity was mysterious, and what he said would inevitably be false and deceitful.

And... For some reason, Old Tang always felt that this guy was uneasy and kind.

However, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable for him.

He had to figure out what was going on with the island before he could make a decision. Otherwise, no matter how powerful he was, he could escape by himself, but he would not be able to bring the other two back.

He himself doesn't care.He is confident that no matter how dangerous the situation is, he can leave with his younger brother perfectly.But if it really comes to a critical moment, he can't abandon his good brother.It's just that at that time, his identity should not be concealed.

Old Tang fell into a momentary entanglement, while the man smiled, calmly waiting for Old Tang to make a decision.

After a long time, Old Tang raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, "Your purpose is to find the truth here?"

The man still had that mysterious look, neither admitting nor denying it, "No, I'm just a decryption scholar."

Hearing this, Old Tang frowned, "A decryption scholar?"

The man nodded, "Yes, cryptographer. There are many mysteries on this small island, and I just want to figure out why. As for you."

A sneer flashed in the man's eyes, "Even if you don't want to get involved in the mystery here, it's irreversible. After all, you people are already in it, and no matter how hard you struggle, you can't break free from the thread of fate."

"As long as you see the true face of Utopia, you will know that everything here is a puppet show that was manipulated." The man said lightly, "And your fate has already been doomed——"

Old Tang frowned more and more tightly, "Our fate?"

"Yes, the life trajectory of the people here is already doomed, and you are just supporting roles in the fate."

The man said lightly, "The so-called utopia is nothing but an illusion built on nothingness."

"Phantom!?" Old Tang murmured.

He suddenly felt that everything in front of him became confused.

This is not as good as another world.

I always feel that the more in-depth understanding, the more troublesome it is.

"If that's the case, then why did you come to us?" Old Tang stared suspiciously at the other party.

"Because you were the first people to appear in Utopia after it was destroyed by a storm and thunder, I don't know why you came here." The man said with a smile, "Except for me, everyone here Everyone will be stared at by him. Or...maybe he brought you here on purpose."

"His?"

Old Tang seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and asked, "Is the He you are talking about the miraculous magician who claims to be able to grant any wish?"

"Oh, you've seen that one before?"

the man asked with interest.

"Yes."

Old Tang nodded.

"They have a very close relationship with each other." The man still didn't answer Old Tang's question directly.

This made Old Tang feel very uncomfortable, but at present... it seems that it is the best way to cooperate with this person who deserves to be beaten.After all, the other party seems to know a lot.

After thinking for a while, Old Tang finally decided to take a gamble.

"It seems that I should be the best option to cooperate with you. I really don't understand why you scholars always like those mysterious mysteries. We can help you as much as possible, but you must also tell us more information."

"Of course no problem." The man stretched out his hand readily, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
