Extraordinary pedigree

The girl sobbed intermittently for a while.

After crying for a while, she finally slowly raised her head and her eyes fell on the face of the blond young man in front of her.

She opened her mouth and tried to say something, but the sound that came out was vague and incoherent, like a baby learning to speak:

"Crab...crab...mud..."

The voice was weak and hoarse, and it sounded strange even to her.

Xia Xiu looked at her, paused slightly, and said in a calm but clear tone:

“Your nerve endings’ perception of stimuli has been inhibited for a long time, and the long-term blockage of pain signals has led to the degeneration of your nervous system.

Especially in the spinal cord and peripheral nerves, it is normal for signal conduction to be delayed or disrupted.

Transient loss of language function is one of these sequelae. "

His eyes softened slightly and he continued:

"However, these can be recovered slowly. If you can't express yourself clearly now, you can try to write down what you want to say with a pen... You should have received basic education, right?"

The dragonborn girl listened and nodded, as if she understood that the young man in front of her did not mean any harm.

Her eyes gradually softened, and a long-lost sense of stability filled her heart - he should be a good person.

Seeing her nod, Xia Xiu stretched out his hand and waved lightly, and the [Private Customization] ability was activated instantly.

In the golden light flowing from his fingertips, a complete set of clothes, an erasable writing board and a writing pen appeared, floating in front of the girl.

It was a set of simple but comfortable clothes. The loose design could cover the traces of the dragon scales on her body without making her feel restricted.

When the girl saw this, she was stunned for a moment, lowered her head subconsciously, and her eyes fell on her body.

There was no embarrassing scene of a happy couple. What came into view was a body of dull dragon scales. These scales were rough and lifeless, like a broken shell covering a monster-like body.

Her eyes gradually dimmed, and she felt as depressed as if she had fallen into an abyss.

monster……

I have been a monster like this my whole life...

Xia Xiu seemed to see through the worries and fears deep in the girl's heart at a glance, and smiled and comforted:

"I have an agency here that specializes in dealing with situations like yours. Just follow me, and the people in the central containment room will properly handle your problem.

Your body and your abilities, they will find ways to help you solve it. "

After hearing this, the dragonborn girl was startled for a moment, then nodded without any hesitation.

She quickly put on the clothes that had just been projected. Although her movements were a little clumsy, she obviously carried an eager trust.

Then, she picked up the writing board and started writing seriously on it.

However, her fingers with sharp dragon claws were not very flexible yet, her handwriting was crooked, and she even made some small mistakes in spelling, but she still completed her name quickly.

Xia Xiu lowered his head and glanced at the writing board, and some ugly but clear handwriting on it came into view - [Eveli Carlos].

Although the spelling is wrong, the general meaning is obvious.

Xia Xiu nodded, showed a faint smile, raised his head and said gently:

"Hugh Abraham—that's my name."

The girl raised her head and looked at the blond young man in front of her. She wanted to repeat her name, but the sound was hoarse and confusing, so she could only lower her head in frustration again.

"No rush, take your time."

Xia Xiu comforted Eveli.

At the same time, while comforting them, a flowing radiant [∞] symbol slowly emerged under their feet.

Eveli's eyes fell on the Möbius strip, and her body trembled suddenly, as if she was stimulated by some terrible memory.

That endless cycle of falling seemed to be engraved deep into her soul, causing her to take a step back subconsciously.

Xia Xiu saw this and smiled slightly:

"Don't resist, I won't let you fall this time."

"I still have the last two little tails to deal with. Please follow me for now and don't run around."

After hearing these words, the girl's emotions gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath and nodded, as if she was trying to overcome her own shadow.

The hand that was holding the writing board relaxed a little, and she stood gently, looking at Xia Xiu with mixed emotions in her eyes.

The next second, the Möbius strip rotated slowly, the surrounding space began to fluctuate, and the light and shadow changed accordingly. With a slight spatial distortion, their figures soon disappeared into the underground laboratory together.

*

*

On the continent of Elsinia, on a huge ice floe, with the distortion of space, two [∞] symbols quietly emerged.

The brief tranquility was broken by slight fluctuations. After a burst of light and shadow distortion, two figures, one large and one small, appeared on the ice floe.

The cold wind howled, and there was a cold and biting breath in the air, surrounded by the boundless white world.

Eveli slowly stood up and looked at the world ahead. She was instantly shocked and speechless by the sight in front of her.

She saw the devastated continent of Elsinia - the original continuous glaciers no longer existed, replaced by huge faults and fissures, running through the earth like an abyss.

The snow-covered plateau turned into huge floating ice blocks separated by black, icy water.

Above the sky, the storm had long since dissipated, but it left behind large gloomy gray clouds. Occasionally, embers-like light spots slipped from the clouds, like the remnants of the doomsday fire.

Under the floating ice, the sea surface was disturbed by large-scale iceberg collapse and ground vein fracture, and countless floating ice blocks were scattered in the sea.

The traces of the earth being burned by fire were clearly visible, and some floating ice blocks even had charred fires that had not yet been extinguished on the surface. The flame core was still bright orange, and the ice blocks around were sizzling.

Evely's eyes were attracted by a floating ice layer, which was full of traces of the remaining battlefield - broken weapons, burnt flags, and metal wreckage twisted into strange shapes. Some of the wreckage looked like the result of the fusion of some kind of organism and machine.

Further away, a huge dragon corpse spanned several floating ice blocks, its scales were charred, its wings were broken, and its huge body cracked the ice layer. The blood condensed into ice in the cold wind, like a scarlet river, spreading to the distance.

At the farther end, there were even larger dragon skeletons.

Evely stared blankly at the scene in front of her, and the cold air blew on her face, making her feel shocked like never before.

She couldn't imagine what caused such destruction and catastrophe.

Just as she was immersed in shock and amazement, a burst of excited shouting suddenly came from a distance:

"Waaagh! Waaagh!"

The voice became clearer and clearer, with an irrepressible enthusiasm and joy.

Evely subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a yellow wave coming towards this side in the distance.

She blinked her eyes and saw what it was - it was a group of short yellow people, only two or three apples in height, but they were rolling and crawling towards them at an incredible speed.

Each of those little people had an extremely fanatical expression on their faces, and their round bodies seemed extremely flexible.

They raised their arms, jumped, and shouted some strange words.

"Waaagh! Waaagh!"

"Khyloth! Khyloth!"

They quickly rushed to Xia Xiu's feet, dancing around him wildly, as if they had seen a god.

Their eyes flashed with worship and fanaticism, and some of them even knelt down and kowtowed, shouting excitedly in an indecipherable language:

"Khyloth! Khyloth!"

The voice echoed in the cold wind, which seemed particularly abrupt.

Fuli stared at the scene in front of her blankly, feeling like she had fallen into an absurd and bizarre dream.

She had no idea where these yellow little people came from, and why they surrounded Xia Xiu so enthusiastically.

The seemingly funny movements and high-pitched shouts of those little people seemed both lively and weird in the cold wind, and she could only nervously hold the writing board in her hand tightly, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at the blond young man not far away.

Xia Xiu stood on the floating ice, watching the group of yellow little people calmly.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a rare interest.

Obviously, he was not disturbed by the scene, but watched it as if he was watching a farce.

Under his gaze, the group of minions suddenly became agitated, and the excited shouting gradually turned into a noisy quarrel.

At first, several minions waved their arms and seemed to be fighting for something.

Soon, the quarrel escalated into a scuffle. They pulled each other's bodies and even rolled into a ball. The center of the dispute was a shabby "box".

"Takaboom! Balala riki tiki!"

"Grrrr! Kapoo kaka taka moooo!"

Just when this chaotic fight was about to get completely out of control, a thin figure stepped out from the back.

It was a slightly slender minion with a typical oval capsule shape, a tuft of hair on the top of his head, and a pair of big eyes.

He walked towards his companions who were fighting in a ball with a fierce momentum, raised his fist and began to teach them one by one.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

One punch each, the action was quick and clean, without any drag.

Seeing this, the other minions immediately dispersed, the fight ended in an instant, and the noise quieted down.

The thin minion proudly picked up the cracked "box" and slowly walked towards Xia Xiu.

He knelt on one knee, his action was like a knight saluting the king, and raised the "box" high with both hands, presenting it to Xia Xiu.

While presenting it, he blinked attentively, with a flattering smile on his face, as if waiting for Xia Xiu's approval.

Xia Xiu couldn't help but chuckled, obviously amused by the funny scene in front of him.

"Interesting."

He leaned over slightly and took the box handed over by the minion.

The outer shell of the box was full of cracks, and there were wisps of green smoke, which looked like it had just experienced a violent explosion.

Xia Xiu looked down carefully, and then his eyes fell on a line of tiny words at the bottom of the box.

He whispered the words:

"The Dragon's Homecoming..."

Then, he held the box and smiled at the Minions:

"Thanks, it saves me the trouble of going to the sea to salvage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Minions around him cheered and jumped up and down excitedly.

The chirping sounds came one after another, and several Minions even hugged each other excitedly and rolled into a ball.

The leader, the lanky minion, saw that the team was too chaotic and immediately coughed. He turned around and roared loudly at the minions behind him, as if he was scolding the soldiers to stay in formation.

When the other minions heard his roar, they stood up straight, stopped making noise, and all looked at Xia Xiu. The leader of the minions walked up to Xia Xiu and used a funny knight etiquette. He made a few exaggerated salutes.

Xia Xiu looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing.

He immediately asked:

"You want to follow me?"

There was a hint of ridicule in Xia Xiu's tone.

When all the minions heard this, their expressions were uniform, and they nodded wildly, as if they were about to jump out of the ground with excitement.

When Xia Xiu saw this, he showed an expression pretending to be thinking, lowered his head and held his chin in thought.

This action made the minions jump and jump in place, like children waiting for judgment.

"My answer is, well..."

Xia Xiu deliberately lengthened his tone. The minions all held their breath. Even their most excited movements stopped and looked at him expectantly.

“A pleasure to work with.”

He suddenly smiled brightly and said easily.

"Waaagh! Waaagh!"

"Waaagh! Waaagh!"

Cheers suddenly broke out again, and all the minions were as excited as if they had won some supreme honor. The lanky minion in the lead even made several funny gestures in excitement, as if to express gratitude or an oath.

He turned to his team and waved his hands, as if organizing a new celebration.

At this time, the leading minion turned his head and gestured with Xia Xiu again.

His movements are complex and comical, a bit like pantomime.

Xia Xiu watched his movements and quickly understood what he meant.

He smiled slightly and whispered: "Your loyalty has been accepted."

With these words, the incarnation [Vashak] behind him quietly emerged, and the dark shadow extended outward from Xia Xiu's feet like a living creature, like a flowing underground river, slowly moving towards the direction of the minions. Extension.

Eveli on the side opened her eyes wide in surprise, staring at the spreading darkness.

But the minions showed no fear at all. They cheered, as excited as if they were seeing their most admired idols.

The lanky little yellow man at the head was the first to stand up. He held his head high and faced the darkness as if he was being baptized.

When the shadow swallowed his body, he did not struggle at all. Instead, when the shadow swallowed him until only one head was left, he gestured "yeah" to the sky, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Immediately afterwards, the other minions jumped into the darkness one by one, cheering.

"Wuhu~"

"Wuhu~"

"Wuhu~"

They scrambled and pushed each other, excited and disorganized, but in the end they were all swallowed up by the shadow.

Finally, when the last minion disappeared into the darkness, the noise on the ice floe calmed down, leaving only Eveli standing there, still looking at Xia Xiu with shock on her face.

[Newly added legion: Little Man in a Bottle·Yellow Transformation! 】

[Current legion replenishment: 5/26]

The genealogy prompt flashed in Xia Xiu's retina. He did not rush to see the detailed settings of the legion. Instead, he looked at Eveli who was standing there and blinked at her with a touch of relaxation on his face. smile:

"There's another group of guys to deal with too, and you should know that group of guys too."

After speaking, he stretched out a finger and pointed forward.

In the void, a huge [∞] symbol slowly took shape, and then, a humanoid creature burning with flames slowly stepped out of it.

Their bodies were covered in twisted and hot flames, the outlines of their bodies were blurred, and every step left scorched marks on the ground.

These flame demons have different shapes, but their momentum is extremely strong, like evil spirits from hell being released into the world.

As soon as Eveli saw the flame demons, her body immediately tensed up, her pupils suddenly shrank, a low growl came out of her throat, and the corners of her mouth opened unconsciously, revealing sharp teeth.

"roar--"

It was an instinctive reaction, stemming from the abnormal characteristics of the Balrog still remaining in her body.

Although Xia Xiu has extinguished the flame in her body, this residual characteristic is still like some kind of shadow that is difficult to get rid of, deeply ingrained in her soul.

Sensing something strange about her, Xia Xiu slowly walked to her side, stretched out a hand and put it on her head, as if comforting a frightened little beast, and gently rubbed her hair.

His voice was low and gentle, with a convincing power:

"Don't worry, they can't hurt you anymore."

As he spoke, the avatar [Vashak] behind him slowly raised his eyes. Those deep eyes were like whirlpools, exuding a chilling majesty.

Xia Xiu's shadow was no longer calm, it began to boil as if it had been injected with life, and the surging darkness was full of unspeakable power.

In the depths of the shadow, various terrifying roars echoed, and countless souls trapped in the abyss roared.

The tentacles of the shadow swept towards the flame demons like hunters.

Sensing the danger, the Balrogs began to struggle, trying to counter the shadow's power with their fiery flames.

But these struggles are meaningless, the shadow is like a bottomless abyss, dragging the Balrogs into it.

Their roars became weaker and weaker, and their struggling movements became slower and slower, until they were finally completely swallowed up by the shadows.

[Newly added legion: Burning Legion - Balrog! 】

[Current legion replenishment: 6/26]

Eveli stared at all this blankly, her eyes full of horror and confusion.

Her heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, and her body froze in place, but was soothed by the warmth of the blond young man's palm.

The blond young man was still gently stroking her hair, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

"Everything in the past will become the past from today on."
