Make the dragon great again

Chapter 40 Are There Other Living Dragons?
"Dragon?"

As soon as Wahag said this, everyone present had mixed reactions.

The lizard man who heard Wahag say the word "dragon" spontaneously crossed his hands on his chest and made a strange prayer. His attitude was so devout that even many so-called priests in human society None can match.

And Rex, Coleman, and William, the three who knew the true identity of 'Mr. Ed', set their sights on Adrian;

Among them, Rex and William were curious about the reaction of 'Mr. Ed', while Coleman finally realized that some of his previous remarks would arouse the disgust of 'Mr. Ed'.

Anna also looked at the giant scimitar behind Wahag with surprise.

At the same time, she also thought that her teacher, Granny, who is an expert in dragon research, was looking for relics in the Kunas Lake in the south of this swamp forest, and this machete was not only called "Kunas' Fang", but also related to the giant Dragon related?

Adrian also noticed this, and asked quickly:

"It's called the Fang of Kunas? Could it be related to the Kunas Lake in the south?"

Wahag didn't answer right away, but looked the 'half elf' up and down, as if he was examining it.

Perhaps it was because Rex's previous communication with Wahag raised his favorability a little bit, the lizardman patriarch finally judged the 'half-elf' in front of him as a credible person.

I saw Wahag, who looked like a little giant, said slowly after a moment of pondering:

"At this time, a guest who can sense the breath of a giant dragon came to the clan, and the reason for coming here was because of my younger brother's entrustment... Maybe this is also some kind of revelation from the patron saint..."

Wahag said something without beginning or end, and stretched out his hand to signal to a wooden building built on a boulder in the settlement:

"The things that Tours entrusted you to bring back were originally intended to be given to the priest. It happens that this gentleman can sense the breath of the dragon, so why don't all the guests come with me to meet the priest!"

The social form of the lizard people is similar to the early society of most Gaia species. The power structure is divided into two parts, one is the patriarch, and the other is the priest.

The patriarch, who represents the force of the ethnic group, controls the daily life of the ethnic group, while the priest who is responsible for sacrificing ancestors holds the right to interpret the original beliefs of the ethnic group.

And because this is a fantasy world with supernatural powers, the priests who are responsible for offering sacrifices to ancestors and communicating with gods often really have this ability;

Therefore, although the patriarch and the priest are two-track parallel, in fact the power of the priest is faintly greater than that of the patriarch.

Just like this 'Battleaxe' lizardman tribe, as the patriarch, Wahag respects the priests of his tribe from the bottom of his heart, and never makes decisions beyond the priests on major matters...

Everyone has nothing to do with Wahag's proposal.

Those who knew the dragon were curious about the truth, while the rest of the rookie adventurers were very interested in this kind of "adventurer's inner taste"...

Everyone followed Wahag to the wooden building above the boulder, and saw that it was decorated with various totems and strange runes, which should be some religious pictures of the lizard people.

"Master Priest, Tours entrusted several guests from the outside world to bring things back, and some of these guests can sense the breath of the dragon on the Fang of Kunas."

An old voice came from this building that should be a place of worship:

"I sensed the unease of the ancestral spirits. The ancestral spirits told me that the crisis originating from Kunas Lake has become more and more restless... Maybe the arrival of this guest is the revelation given by the patron saint... Please come in. "

The priest said something similar to Wahag, and Adrian already had some guesses about it.

After entering the sacrificial place, everyone saw the priest of the Lizardman clan—an elder Lizardman with gray scales, a stooped body, and totem runes painted all over his body with paint.

Before everyone could greet them, the old priest suddenly shook his body, looked up at Anna and William, and said tremblingly:
"You, you are! You are half-dragon people!"

"Half-dragon man!"

Hearing the old priest's sudden words, the patriarch Wahag looked at Anna and William in shock, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"There is nothing wrong! The ancestor spirit told me just now that you two are half-dragons who inherited the bloodline of the patron saint!"

Anna and William were a little stunned, and looked at 'Mr. Ed' at the same time.

Adrian was more convinced of the guess in his heart, and said to the old priest:
"The half-dragon people you mentioned, do you mean the dragon descendants who inherited the blood of the dragon?"

Only then did the old priest come back to his senses, and looked at the 'half-elf' who was speaking, and the patriarch Wahag at the side immediately said to the old priest:
"My lord priest, this guest is the one who sensed the breath of the dragon."

The old priest looked at Adrian again and again, but he couldn't see anything from Adrian who deliberately concealed his breath, and the so-called ancestral spirit didn't give him any enlightenment.

"I was reckless just now..." The old priest apologized to everyone, and continued:

"This guest is right. The half-dragons are the descendants of the lizardmen who inherited the blood of the giant dragon, and these two guests..."

The old priest crossed his hands in front of his chest, bowed to Anna and William, and said in a tone of respect and a little bit lost:
"...These two guests are indeed descendants of the dragon's blood, and they are two great descendants of the dragon, but unfortunately, they are not the half-dragon people in the legend of our lizard people."

Anna quickly waved her hand to tell the old priest not to do so, and quietly watched the reactions of her companions, worried that her identity would be exposed;

And William looked at Adrian, he didn't dare to express any opinion before 'Mr. Ed' spoke.

Although Wahag also showed disappointment, he still said to the old priest:
"My lord priest, since the dragonborn still exists, there may also be half-dragon people in places we don't know about, even the patron saint..."

Seeing that the two lizardmen had been talking about their own topics, Adrian, who was already a little impatient, interrupted Wahag directly, and said to the two lizardmen:
"Does the patron saint you speak of refer to the giant dragon?"

"Uh, yes, we lizard people regard dragons as patron saints."

Wahag, who realized his impoliteness, answered Adrian's question apologetically.

The old priest also said:

"We lizard people used to be a race with low intelligence, almost no different from monsters. More than 2 years ago, the great dragon bestowed blessings on the lizard people, which made us turn from ignorance to wisdom. Since then, lizard people People regard the dragon as a patron saint."

Hearing the words of the old priest, Adrian was surprised and said quickly:
"So the half-dragon people are the descendants of the lizard people who were bestowed with blood by the dragon?"

Due to the excitement in his heart, Adrian accidentally said the word "source blood".

Without waiting for the old priest to answer, Adrian immediately asked:

"The dragon is your patron saint, and you just kept saying that the ancestor spirit and the patron saint refer to a certain dragon? Are you still in contact with a living dragon?!"

……
