Chaos Le Zilong's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 127: Doty Harmed by the Novel

After the dragon hunting team arrived at the territory of the Disaster Clan, they were a little confused by the prosperous city in front of them.

Generally speaking, the territory of a dragon is characterized by dirtiness, chaos and barbarism, where everything is decided by strength and it does not seem to be orderly at all. However, the city in front of him did not seem to be the case.

Shaking his head, Turner, the bearded captain of the dragon hunting team, decided to disperse and gather intelligence first.

The team members who had no objection to this then separated and acted separately.

Out of habit, Ike walked the streets and observed the people living here.

People here were traveling, buying and selling things. The lives of the people here were no different from those in other places. They seemed peaceful and normal. Therefore, a question came to his mind.

Why is this place named after disaster? This place doesn’t look like the territory of an evil dragon at all. Even some dragons in the lawful camp don’t have such good territories.

Ike really couldn't figure it out, so he decided to ask someone.

But he was not a fool. He did not look for the orcs who were obviously the dragon's subordinates, but instead found a human caravan.

At this time, the head of the caravan was talking to a goblin.

"Boss, look, we only have this much money left. It would be a shame not to buy some more. Besides, it doesn't make much difference. Just consider it a discount for us."

Hearing this, the goblin curled his lips impatiently.

"Discount? Go out and ask. When has our Disaster Clan ever had a discount? The prices of our products are already the lowest. Can we still make money with a discount?"

"But... this thing you sell is too expensive."

"expensive?"

This sentence made the goblin laugh.

"Do you want to take a look at what you are talking about? I am selling gems, how can they not be expensive? And even if I sell them at a high price, don't think I don't know that after you buy them back and process them, the price can be increased four or five times. And you still think it is too expensive?"

"At this point I have to quote our boss Ponlock's famous words." The goblin snorted coldly: "How can it be expensive? It has been this price for years. If you think it is expensive, you have to ask yourself whether you have worked hard all these years..."

Ike listened to their entire conversation, with a mouthful of bitterness stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to spit it out.

He finally realized that both the goblin over there and the human merchants were all unscrupulous merchants and none of them were good people.

Although he thought so, Ike still waited until the human merchant left and then went up to ask.

"Sir, could you please answer my question for me?"

The leader of the human caravan was a little confused when he heard Ike's question, but looking at the few gold coins handed over, he still told what he knew. After all, it was not a secret.

"This is indeed the territory of giant dragons, but giant dragons rarely appear. I have been doing business here for nearly ten years, and I have only seen a few. We were very scared at first, but we found that even if we saw one, the dragon would not even look at us, so over time we stopped paying attention."

“Thanks for answering this for me.”

After saying this, Ike planned to leave.

But before he left, he suddenly thought of someone in charge and added a sentence.

"It should be around the year before last. There was another blue dragon here. It always wanders around the streets."

Hearing this, Ike nodded, indicating that he understood.

On the other hand, Doti, the red-haired woman from the dragon hunting team, originally wanted to go to a place like a tavern to gather intelligence. After all, in a place like a tavern where all kinds of people gather, you never know who might get drunk and blurt out some useful information.

But as soon as she entered a tavern, she was attracted by the bard who was sitting on the stage and talking incessantly.

"Today we are retelling "Battle of the Sky". Those who have money are welcome to support us. Those who don't have money are welcome to lend us some money to support us."

Hearing this, Doti looked at the bard on the stage and her eyes twitched. Why are the bards here different from those in other places? They always feel a little... stupid?

She shook her head and tried not to think about it, but she didn't forget the purpose of her visit.

However, as the bard spoke with great emotion, Dottie's attention soon shifted away from collecting intelligence, and he began to listen attentively.

She even found a seat, sat down, ordered a glass of wine, and drank while listening.

Looking at the audience who were all looking at him, the bard smiled slightly. Ever since he came to the Clan of Disaster to tell this novel, his daily income has been much more than before.

But the only bad thing is that the audiences in the audience really give tips and will riot after the show is over.

So while he was telling the story, he began to wear protective gear quietly.

As time passed, twenty chapters passed quickly, today's work was completed, and the bard's armor was fully donned.

"In order to continue tomorrow, I can only stop here with regret. Please forgive me."

Hearing this, Doti, who had just come out of the novel, frowned. She was just getting into the mood, how could she stop just like that.

However, before he could say anything, he saw both humans and orcs around him drinking up the wine in their cups, and then smashing the wine at the bard.

One of the humans, who had drunk a lot, picked up the empty wine glass and threw it over, cursing.

"Fuck you! You always cut it off at the most exciting moment. Do you have any conscience?"

"That's right, smash this bastard who broke the chapter to death."

I don't know who started the commotion, but the atmosphere was immediately spoiled.

The bard on the stage dodged the thrown wine glasses skillfully as if it was a habit. After all, this scene happened every day.

Doty, also infected by the atmosphere, threw several wine glasses over.

Dotty looked at the wine glasses flying around in the field and shook her head. She originally just wanted to get some information, but she didn't expect to encounter such an interesting scene.

After the scene calmed down a bit, Doty walked towards the person who had shouted the loudest, handed him a silver coin, and asked, "What's the plot of the "Battle of the Sky" you just mentioned?"

The man looked at Dottie, and there was a strange flash in his eyes.

"newcomer?"

Hearing this, Dottie nodded and admitted it generously.

"Just arrived today."

The man nodded and didn't care.

"If you want to know the subsequent plot, you can go to the bookstore next door and buy it. Although I prefer listening to it rather than reading it, that bastard always breaks the story at the critical moment. I really want to beat him up."

Seeing his resentful look, Dottie smiled, turned around and left to go to the bookstore he mentioned.

At night, the dragon hunting team gathered at the agreed hotel, and Turner, as the captain, was the first to talk about the intelligence he had collected.

"This is indeed a territory ruled by a giant dragon, but it always gives me a very strange feeling. It is completely different from the territories of other giant dragons."

“It’s very orderly.”

A warrior named Segur voiced Turner's thoughts.

"So, should we still take action against the dragon here?"

Hearing what Segur said, Turner frowned and thought.

"Let's take a look. It is said that the giant dragon here is a black dragon. With the character of a black dragon, its territory should not be like this. I suspect there are some very dark places behind the scenes."

"I think so too." Ike nodded. "If this place is really as it seems on the surface, it's fine. If there is darkness behind it, we will definitely eradicate it."

While they were communicating, Turner suddenly found that Dottie, who was usually the most active, didn't say a word this time, and he couldn't help but look at her with confusion.

When he found Dottie holding a book and laughing foolishly, he also asked.

"Dotty, what are you reading? You don't seem like the type to read."

Seeing that Dottie didn't respond after he called her twice, Turner walked over and snatched his book.

"Dotty, everyone is exchanging information, what are you doing?"

Hearing this, he was about to ask who was the blind man who disturbed him while he was reading, but when he saw his captain's serious expression, he subconsciously shrank his neck.

"Captain, please listen to my explanation. I did go to the tavern to gather intelligence today...blah blah blah..."

After listening to Dottie's story, question marks appeared in the minds of the others.

"So, you did nothing but listen to storytelling in the tavern all day?"

"Well, it seems that it is possible."

Turner covered his face when he saw her behavior. Dottie was originally a problem child. Although she was a little frivolous at ordinary times, she was still very reliable when something happened. Today she was indeed a bit too much.

"You can't blame me for this. It's mainly because this novel is so good."

Turner sighed as he heard Dottie mutter under her breath.

"This book is confiscated. You can't do this again tomorrow."

"Ok."

Dottie sighed and vowed to herself that she would do her best to gather intelligence tomorrow.

Turner, seeing that the information had been shared, asked everyone to go back and rest.

After he returned to his room and washed up, he was about to lie down to rest, but when he thought of Dottie's engrossed look when she was reading, he became interested.

He picked up the book that had been thrown aside and read the title of the book softly.

"'Battle of the Sky'? What a strange name."

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the house through the window, Turner finally finished reading the book.

"Tsk, why is there only this much? What about the follow-up? Did Xiao Yan get the Fallen Heart Flame? I'm so anxious."

When he was about to go to bed, he found that it was already dawn. Then he realized that he had been reading the novel all night.

"I had planned to read one more chapter before going to bed, but before I knew it, I had finished the whole thing. Although it is different from novels from other places and does not have those fancy words, it is still very addictive."

He shook his head and didn't want to think about it. As a seventh-level strong man, he could go without sleep for a week. Now that it was daybreak, he might as well go out and continue collecting intelligence.

Dottie came to the bookstore she had been to yesterday early in the morning. Her novel was confiscated last night, and she was tormented and couldn't sleep. That's why she ran here immediately, planning to buy a new one.

"Boss, give me a copy of 'Fighting the Sky'."

Hearing this, the lizardman waiter smiled and brought over a book.

Just when Dottie was about to take the novel inside to read, the clerk recommended: "Madam, would you like to take a look at our new book? It's been selling very well recently."

Hearing this, Dottie raised an eyebrow and showed some interest.

"Okay, bring it here and let me see it."

Looking at the red-covered book in her hand, Dottie whispered the title.

"'Taoism x Yixian'? It's a weird title."

Considering that "Battle of the Heavens" is so good, Dottie also plans to give it a try.

Looking at Dottie who was reading books with great interest, the lizardman clerk shook his head.

This person is none other than Sailan, the leader of the lizardman clan. Yesterday, Ronnie used Zawa's ability to monitor the dragon hunting team all day long. For Dotty, who likes to read novels, Ronnie also took out this powerful novel and sent the calm and steady Sailan on this trip.

It can be said that Ronnie is looking forward to seeing how Dottie performs after watching “Tao X Yi Xian”.

The perspective turns back to Dottie. In order to avoid being discovered by other friends, she found a corner to read.

Just when I was about to pick up the novel that I hadn't finished reading yesterday, my attention was somehow attracted by the novel with a red cover.

"I bought it anyway, so I'll just look at that one first, they're all the same."

……

"Psychosis? This should be a mental problem. A mental hospital should be a place that specializes in treating this kind of illness."

……

"Hiss... Damn, this, this, this, which side is the real world?"

The more Dottie looked back, the colder she felt down her spine, but she couldn't help but keep looking back.

It was not until she had read half of it that she finally couldn't help but close the book, her thoughts in a mess.

After all, there are many people with illusion abilities in this world, and some are extremely dangerous. If...

Dottie quickly patted her face to comfort herself.

"Don't overthink it. I've lived for so many years, how could it be fake? The improvement in my strength, the pain when I was injured, the laughter with my friends, no matter how you look at it, it's not fake. It's just a novel. Just read it for fun..."

Just as she was talking to herself, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure reading a book not far away. It seemed to be Captain Turner.

"How could this captain be here? Hasn't he always been uninterested in novels? Could this captain be a fake..."

Influenced by the novel, Dottie is now beginning to have some doubts.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the man was not his captain, so he took decisive action and kicked Turner away.

Turner, who was reading a book happily, was suddenly kicked. He had no time to react and broke through the wall and flew out.

He had just stood up and was very confused when he saw Dottie walking slowly towards him with murderous aura all over her.

"Dottie, why did you kick me for no reason?"

Perhaps because he had just talked about Dotty yesterday, and today he came here to read the novel, Turner felt a little guilty at this moment.

But his guilty behavior confirmed Dottie's inner guess.

"You're a fake, tell me! Who are you? Why are you pretending to be my captain?"

As she spoke, Dottie did not give Turner a chance to explain. She flipped her hand and a long sword made of flames was in her hand. She slashed at Turner without saying a word.

Sailan looked at the broken wall of the bookstore and the panicked customers around him and couldn't help but sigh. He revealed his identity and tried to comfort them.
