Although Jiang Jin has seen dragon meat more than once.

But this is definitely the first time I have seen dragon scales.

What's even more amazing is that he can clearly identify dragon scales even when he sees them for the first time.

These scales are too special and too domineering.

From the appearance, the shape of these scales is somewhat similar to crocodile scales, but they are sharper.

The color of bronze exudes a terrifying murderous aura under the illumination of the oil lamps on the wall.

If it weren't for some ancient ferocious beast that stood among the food chain.

It’s hard to imagine that ordinary beasts can have such domineering scales.

If he saw dragon scales under normal circumstances, Jiang Jin might be ecstatic.

After all, such a special part may be used as food or seasoning.

But if this dragon scale grows on the arm of a female knight, it is obviously not normal.

On Cassandra's shoulders... Is this also the effect of "Demon State. Ancient Dragon Type"?

Looking at the dragon scales that exuded the aura of a ferocious beast, Jiang Jin couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

He originally thought that the female knight's devilish state would only affect her spirit.

But I didn't expect that this influence had spread to Cassandra's body.

I have such terrifying scales growing on my body, and I am still a girl.

You don’t need to think about it carefully to know what a huge blow this is to Cassandra.

Later, Jiang Jin carefully inspected the dragon scales on her body.

It was found that these special scales covered his upper arms all the way to his shoulders, and then spread to his back and chest.

Although the diffusion area on the chest is not particularly large, it covers less than half of the back.

It feels like a giant dragon is slowly devouring it.

As long as she delays a little longer, she will turn into a dragon.

In Jiang Jin's original world, dragons were very noble and sacred creatures.

If a human could transform into a dragon, that might be the transformation that many people dream of.

It's just that in this fantasy world, the image of dragons looks much more evil.

According to the deeds mentioned by Teacher Catherine, the Dragon Clan once dominated this land.

Until the war between gods who didn't know how many thousands of years ago, that is, the battle between heaven and earth that led to the emergence of the "Forbidden Land Beyond the Boundary".

The five Dragon Kings representing the Dragon Clan were killed or sealed by the Holy God of Heaven one after another, and the Dragon Clan declared its defeat.

In the long time to come, he will either live as a human pet or as a monster in the wild.

Therefore, if Cassandra turns into a real dragon, it will definitely be a disaster for her.

It's even ten times or a hundred times worse than becoming a sealed one.

What should I do...Is there any way to eliminate this demonic state?

We can't just wait for her to be devoured by the ancient dragon

Looking at the female knight lying on the bed, Jiang Jin couldn't help but clenched his fists.

However, just as Jiang Jin was sitting on the edge of the bed, lowering his head and thinking.

Cassandra on the bed woke up in a daze.

I...I am...

After waking up, Cassandra found herself lying on the bed with her clothes untied.

But when she saw Jiang Jin sitting by the bed, she immediately realized what had just happened.

Cassandra was silent for a few seconds, then stood up from the bed and whispered:

"Sorry...it seems to have worried you."

"It doesn't matter to me, but your situation seems...not good."

Jiang Jin thought about the words for a while, and then found the euphemism of "not so good".

In fact, Cassandra's condition is not just bad, it is almost a terminal illness.

But when she heard this, she immediately shook her head and said with a smile:

"It's actually not as bad as it looks on the surface. It's a strange disease. It just has some scales on my body and occasionally causes me headaches or faints."

"...really"

"Of course it's true, otherwise"

It seems that Cassandra wants to continue to cover up the facts and minimize her own situation.

Jiang Jin had no choice but to show his cards and said: "Don't lie to me, your situation is the same as the two men in black robes I saw not long ago. You have the same demonic disease, right?"

In fact, so far, there is no accurate name for this symptom.

Therefore, Jiang Jin, as the first doctor to discover it, gave it an easy-to-understand name like "demon disease".

Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Jin mention the two men in black robes who fought against Lord Yemil not long ago.

Cassandra's expression changed first, then turned her head and said:

"Even Lord Yermil praised you for your good eyesight...it seems to be true."

"So stop lying in front of me and tell me what happened so that I can find a way to help you."

Jiang Jin's tone was filled with concern and sincerity, and it was obvious that he was not just pretending.

But I really want to help Cassandra get rid of this pain and let her return to normal.

Kassandra seemed to feel the caring emotion, and she relaxed a little, but still shook her head and said:

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but this 'demon disease' cannot be solved."

"Whether it can be solved or not, I have to judge after hearing the origin of the disease."

"...I really want to hear it"

"Really, I swear in the name of my grandfather."

In Cassandra's hometown, swearing in the name of family members is a very solemn oath.

Seeing that Jiang Jin was already like this, she had no choice but to explain the ins and outs of how she contracted the "demon disease".

For Cassandra, it was an incident that happened three years ago.

At that time, she was just preparing to become the youngest royal guard knight in a century, and she was full of high spirits and contentment.

"I'm not bragging. At that time, everyone praised me as a genius and said that I was the best among my peers."

"And as long as I upgrade my rank to the elite level in that year's rank assessment, I can become the youngest royal guard knight."

"Um...I'm really not bragging. This is purely an objective description."

As if worried that Jiang Jin would think she was bragging, Cassandra embarrassedly clarified.

It wasn't until Jiang Jin said that she didn't think she was bragging at all that the female knight slowly continued the story.

To put it simply, Cassandra is preparing to take the rank assessment and officially join the staff.

She followed Canglong's most famous and powerful "Royal Guard Knights" on an investigative mission.

This feeling... is like being in an internship, following the seniors out to see the world.

Originally, for Cassandra, the youngest in the team, this internship should be a smooth process, just follow the seniors and pretend to be powerful.

Unexpectedly, just after the knight team arrived at the "White Oak Castle" where an incident was said to have occurred, a horrific accident happened.

"At that time, we received a report from an informant that someone was arresting homeless people and locking them in the basement to do some strange research."

"So I went with the seniors to the basement of a house on the edge of the city. Unexpectedly, I was ambushed as soon as I entered."

"At that time, I seemed to smell a strange fragrance, and soon I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was thrown into the corner of the street."

"The strange thing is that the enemy did not hurt us, and all nine of us were unscathed...or we thought we were unscathed."

"However, that night, when we were discussing how to conduct the investigation again in the hotel, a female senior suddenly widened her eyes and grabbed her throat with force!"

Although three years have passed, that scene often appears in Cassandra's nightmares.

The usually gentle female knight tore her own throat open with her nails that were not sharp in front of everyone.

But what flowed out of the throat was not the usual red blood, but strange black blood.

As the black blood flowed more and more, the body of the female knight also underwent terrible changes.

"In almost a dozen seconds, she turned into a terrifying monster that is difficult to describe in words."

"The monster kept panting, spitting out a fishy smell around it, and its eyes also exuded waves of fierce light."
