Chapter 421 420. Seeing the Crystal Ball Again
Erica only met Mo Cheng once when they were in Hesen Town, and they were still fighting enemies at that time, so she only had a vague impression of Mo Cheng's appearance.
At that time, Mo Cheng's holy light and violent momentum impressed Erica much more deeply than his appearance.
Mo Cheng's appearance has changed through [Seventy-two Transformations]. Whether Erica recognizes it or not is not that important. She only needs to recognize Theresa next to Mo Cheng and recognize the abnormal shape of Mo Cheng's pupils. It is enough that the dragon pupils will appear only when the purity of the blood reaches a certain level.
She sent Isabella and Theresa out to contact Mo Cheng, and now that she is coming back with someone, there is no need to say more about who the person following them is.
"plz follow me."
Erica led the way, and Mo Cheng and Theresa followed behind and entered the building.
As for Eugene and all the dragonborn, they obediently obeyed Erica's punishment and were forced to stand for three hours with their hands and feet nailed to the ground.
Those nails only pierced the flesh and did not damage the bones. For the Dragonborn, as long as he pulled out the nails and disinfected himself, a wound of this degree would be able to recover in a short time.
After following Erica into the building, Mo Cheng discovered one thing, that is, Erica has a very high prestige in this place.
Whether it was the unruly Dragonborn who obeyed her punishment of standing for three hours, or the fact that many people along the way greeted Erica after seeing her, Mo Cheng could tell whether these people were sincere or pretending.
They indeed truly admired Erica.
The three of them walked forward and soon came to a room. Judging from the decoration and layout, this should be considered Erica's office?
Erica made a cup of tea for Mo Cheng and Teresa. She looked at the other party's skillful way of making tea. Although she didn't know what the twists and turns were, Mo Cheng felt that the way of making tea was very beautiful and seemed to be flowing smoothly. a feeling of.
"I thought..." Mo Cheng said after Erica sat down, "you would settle the accounts with me last time in Hesen Town."
As he spoke, he picked up the black tea and took a sip. The question that came from his mouth made Mo Cheng raise his eyebrows slightly.
The taste is surprisingly good, even people like Mo Cheng who don't often drink black tea can find it delicious.
Although he couldn't tell exactly how delicious it was.
"That was just an accident. I hope it didn't cause any trouble to the little girl you were protecting."
Erica sat upright with her legs side by side and her hands folded on her legs. "We have canceled the original mission. Please rest assured that no one among the Dragonborn will take on that mission again."
Unlike Mo Cheng, Erica didn't seem to take that fight seriously, even though she was just a little bit close to being beaten to death.
"Can you tell me who issued the mission to assassinate Lilia?"
"Viscount Joestar, although he did enough to cover it up, I conducted an investigation afterwards and found that he was the one who issued the mission."
Erica didn't hide anything. Even if Mo Cheng asked the task publisher a question that was taboo in the industry, she gave the answer directly.
It was indeed Viscount Joestar.
Mo Cheng confirmed his guess. Although this question did not require much verification, except Viscount Joestar, no one else would kill Lilia, a common girl, and then kill her quickly.
However, this problem also made Mo Cheng try out the Dragon Worship Order, or Erica's attitude towards him.
Their attitude towards themselves, or towards the Dragonborn, was good enough. If they hadn't known about what happened to the Dragon Worshiping Order in advance, Mo Cheng would have thought it was a good organization.
"I want to join the Order, what should I do?"
After learning about the other party's attitude towards him, Mo Cheng directly stated his intention without much concealment.
He joined the Dragon Worshiping Order firstly to use his power to search for where the instruments in Winterfort were, and secondly because he had the [Artificial Dragon Bloodline] in his hands, so he was naturally the savior of the Dragonborn.
The Order of the Dragon is the organization with the largest number of dragonborn on the continent of Koyre, so it is the best place to recruit people.
Hearing Mo Cheng's initiative to join, Erica couldn't help but smile on her face, "There are no conditions for joining the cult. You only need to be willing and have some of your bloodline tested so that you can better help you exert your power."
With that said, Erica led the two of them to another place. The door was covered with a curtain. The thick black curtain absorbed all the light. No one could see what was inside through the curtain.
After pushing aside the curtain and walking in, Mo Cheng's expression suddenly became very strange after seeing what was inside.
"So, the way you test the origin of your bloodline is also to use a crystal ball?"
Behind the curtain, there is a huge crystal ball, the size of a yoga ball, and behind the crystal ball there is a simple wall covered with ancient writings, as if it was removed from somewhere and then placed Like here.
Erica looked at Mo Cheng. Although she didn't know why he reacted like this, Erica still explained:
"A pure crystal ball is the most effective carrier for [detection], and this crystal ball was dug out from the dragon's treasure house. It has a very strong detection effect on the source of the dragon's bloodline. There is no other comparable one on the entire continent. This is a bigger pure crystal.”
That's true, but Mo Cheng always felt weird looking at the crystal ball in front of him.
This is the third time he has come across a crystal ball that tests his love. The first time Dorothy tested his love, it exploded.
The second time was when the Comprehensive Academy of Magic in Winterhold tested Lilia's qualifications, and it also exploded.
He doubted that this test would explode the largest pure crystal in the Koyre continent.
After all, he has a criminal record.
"Is testing necessary?"
Mo Cheng's question also made Erica a little embarrassed, "Only by knowing the blood origin of the members, we will avoid some avoidable conflicts when issuing tasks."
After the Dragonborn becomes stronger, they will inherit the dragon habits from which their bloodline originates to some extent. For example, the red dragon bloodline and the golden dragon bloodline will dislike each other, so when assigning tasks, they will try to stagger the two sides as much as possible to avoid being together. .
Now that he had said that, Mo Cheng had no choice but to put his hand on the crystal ball and asked, "If I accidentally blow up this crystal ball, do I need to pay for it?"
Erica shook her head, finding Mo Cheng's worries a bit funny, "This is a crystal ball that has been preserved by the dragon's magic and has extremely high purity and hardness. It's just impossible to detect the source of the bloodline..."
"Gela!"
Before Erica could finish her words, the crystal ball suddenly made a sound that was definitely not beautiful.
