Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 1791: The City of Lost Souls, El Perdido.

The City of Lost Souls, El Perdido.

Despite its strange name, it was a fine city. There were even kids running around in the streets, so it couldn't be that bad, right?

However, we also noticed a whole lot of suspicious people watching at us while we were standing there doing nothing.

Some of them were holding guns and other weapons, mostly all firearms of different types, cannons, rattling guns, and so on.

"Muh? Wewe awe we?"

And just in that moment, Drakda woke up, opening his little eyes and looking around sleepily. He had gotten tired after we fought that huge swarm of insects.

"We've arrived at the city, Drakda," I said. "Sleep more if you're feeling sleepy, don't worry, son."

"Yeah, don't worry, don't worry~" Miranda said, caressing our son's head.

"I wan... I wan fuud!" however, Drakda protested.

"Haaha, we'll get some, don't worry," I said. "Hmm..."

After going through that huge swarm of monsters, I honestly wanted to rest too, Drakda was lucky. However, we had little time here. And well, there were other things we had to do first, such as, well, completing the trial!

Now that we're on the damn city, I'm sure the trial will advance somehow, right? It has to!

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have progressed through the Trial's Storyline and entered the [City of Lost Souls: El Perdido]!]

[A Special Trial Storyline Quest has been triggered!]

A Quest?!

[A {Special Trial Storyline Quest} has been generated: [Explore the City of Lost Souls: El Perdido]!]

[After going through a deadly swarm of alien insects and then seeing how a giant Whalebug got stuck in the Spatial Portal, you're left with nothing to do but explore the City of Lost Souls and find a true purpose to being here.]

[Perhaps seeing the scenery, eating the local food, enjoying the day, and meeting bandits, thieves, and all sorts of criminals might finally give you a clue or two.]

[Explore the Central Plaza and Visit 5 Shops or Restaurants]: [0/5]

[Talk to the Locals and Learn About Their Problems and Solve Them]: [0/3]

[Catch Any Evildoer and Apprehend Them]: [0/10]

[Talk With An Important Story Character]: [0/3]

[Discover What The Golden Spire Race Is All About]: [0/1]

[Quest Duration: 12 Hours]

[Time is tickling! If you can't complete this within the given time, the Storyline won't

advance in time, and you might end up wasting even more time here.]

"Hah, to think I would get a quest now," I laughed a bit. "Can you see this?"

I showed the Quest to my family, and they all seemed slightly amazed about it, despite telling

us to just explore, it clearly gave us a lot of things we had to do to complete the Quest.

"Isn't this a bit excessive?! Five things?!" Miranda asked angrily.

"Well, it's a trial to upgrade our Class and get a higher Level Cap..." Benladann said. "It has to be more complex too, right? Let's try it! I'm looking forward to it!"

"Yeah, papa! Let's go to the plaza where the kids went to!" said Benladra.

"We want to go," said Kate with a nod. "I wish mama was here though..."

"Dada!" Drakda said.

"Okay, fine, let's go then," I nodded. "We might as well enjoy it while we do it and while it lasts, right?"

Like that, we started moving across the streets, making sure to avoid the hundreds of people walking and passing everywhere, it was a bit annoying, but we eventually reached the plaza. Maybe because we were really huge compared to them, but no person tried seeking trouble with us despite there being a bunch of people everywhere.

I even happened to bump into like three people that resembled cowboys of all shape and sizes carrying guns, but they simply said "Sorry" after noticing my appearance and height and ran away.

I guess being huge even in our humanoid forms, covered with scales, having sharp claws, long horns, wings and tails, really make us look a bit different, it's nice.

"And here we are," I said, looking at the Plaza. "Huh, for such a scary name, the city sure has a beautiful Plaza!"

A rare sight in the middle of this giant wasteland of a desert, the Plaza was covered with grass, flowers here and there, and lots of trees too.

It was like a small sanctuary of greenery in the middle of a city made of rusty metal, and it really made itself be known, surrounded by a huge district full of shops and restaurants.

The kids were playing in the plaza, running from one place to another catching bugs or little animals that appeared or ran away.

Benladra and Kate really wanted to join them, but I don't know if that was a good idea, we were in a trial.

"Is everyone hungry? We could go find some food at least. Let's see if we can actually eat in here," I said. "I bet alien food would be weird and strange, who's up for it?"

Although I couldn't let them walk too far away from me for obvious reasons, I could at least make them a bit happy.

"Ooh, yeah! Sure!" Benladra nodded.

"I'm hungry," Kate said expressionlessly.

"We could definitely eat something we could summon from our Divine Realms, but I guess trying out new alien food is better," said Benladra. "I hope it doesn't upset our stomachs."

"I doubt so, we've eaten demons," said Miranda. "I can eat anything!" "Awything!" said Drakda, showing his sharp teeth like his mother did

"Okay then, let's go!"

We had no time to waste, walking around the District surrounding the Central Plaza and seeing all the signs. The first requirement was visiting five, right? So it's not too hard.

There were apparently five restaurants in here, we decided to go for the one that looked the cleanest and with the most appealing food out of them.

At the same time, I decided to visit the other shops and see what they had.

The first shop I visited was named "Larry's Metal Scrap Shop" and as the name implied, the person inside, a slug-like alien named Larry, sold all sorts of metallic scraps. However, aside from some of the garbage, there was something that brought my attention. A huge azure colored stone sparkling with little stars inside...
