After finishing the meeting in Twilight City, Todd, who had left the soul space, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the mountains in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

Evie, who was standing beside him, noticed his strange appearance and asked, "What's wrong?"

"If someone told you that they could help you get rid of the human body and transform into another race, would you agree?"

Evie looked at Todd strangely: "Isn't the answer obvious? If you can get a stronger body, no one will refuse power." ”

Todd followed, "But you'll become a complete alien and will never be able to integrate into human society again. ”

Evie shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "You may not know my life in the village, there is no entertainment, no small talk, some are just daily practice and worship of the gods, for me, human society does not have much meaning......"

Hearing Evie's answer, Todd shook his head and said, "For you, the answer may be so, but for others, it will be completely different. Humanity has long regarded society as a necessity. To detach oneself from the human form is to exile oneself from human society......"

Todd's voice grew lower and lower, and he thought of himself from the words. When he chose to transform into a dragon body because he was protecting everything in Dusk West City, did he have a trace of regret in his heart?

Perhaps, but on second thought, the answer was meaningless.

Evie leaned her body against Todd's hind limbs and whispered, "If there is any benefit to humans, there may still be...... For example, when I was with you, I finally found an interesting 'thing', but because of your appearance, it was completely impossible to ......."

Embarrassed, Todd cleared his throat: "I said, I will find a way to solve this problem." Let's not talk about that, but I'd like to ask, if I'm not in Froststone City, how does the city usually deal with emergencies?"

Evie glanced at the black dragon: "The shaman assembly holds a meeting, takes a vote, and gives the result. ”

"What if there is no consensus within the assembly, or if the matter is so urgent that there is no time for the meeting to decide?"

Evie held her chin and thought, "Speaking of which, it seems that there has been a similar situation......"

"How did you solve it in the end?"

"Lune divination. ”

Todd asked suspiciously, "Lune's divination?"

Evie explains: "In the teachings of the gods, if mortals were faced with a choice of fate, they would generally seek out shamans and ask them to use stones with the rune script for divination. Have you forgotten? Even Odin, the king of the gods, once turned to the three sisters of fate for help in the event of the cataclysm, asking them to send down an oracle using the divination of rune. ”

Todd suddenly became interested: "How exactly does Lune's divination work?"

"A pile of stones engraved with the Lune script, placed in a stone circle, using the flame as a catalyst, to observe the change of the stone script......"

Todd shook the dragon's head and said in an unbelievable tone: "That's it, just use this method to make a decision?! This is no different from burning a turtle shell and shaking a hexagram cylinder!"

Evie looked up at Todd, "Burning turtle shells? Shake the hexagram cylinder? These are also methods of divination?"

"Leave that alone. Todd stretched his hind limbs forward, coiled the dragon's tail behind him, and used his forelimbs to hold up the dragon's head and said, "Whether it is Dusk West City or Froststone City, once there is an emergency, it is too slow to use the method of meeting to make decisions, but it is unreliable to use the method of divination. ”

Evie rolled her eyes and said, "This kind of thing shouldn't come out of the mouth of a god......"

Ignoring Evie's taunts, Todd pondered, "It's best to find a way to get the Twilight Cabinet and the Shaman Assembly to reach out to me...... The soul space used for remote meetings can only be opened by me at the moment. But if there is a way to open it not only for me, but also for others to enter freely...... In this way, if there is any urgent matter in the two cities, they can take the initiative to enter the soul space and contact me......"

Thinking of this, Todd suddenly remembered something.

When he established a soul link with Leviathan, he did not do so through direct contact, but after touching the head of a manticore, he automatically entered the latter's soul space.

If this method is feasible, does it mean that the soul space can only be opened by one-way operation, but through some kind of mediation, it can be freely accessed by all individuals.

Thinking of this, Todd flapped his dragon wings and flew into the air, saying to Evie on the ground, "I'm going to the Shadow Country." ”

Under the strong wind pressure, the latter looked at the dragon slowly rising into the air, squinted his eyes and shouted: "Remember what you promised me!"

Before he could finish speaking, Todd had already entered the clouds and was speeding towards the north.

By the time Todd landed in the ruins of the Temple of the Shadow Nation, it was late at night.

Meredith, who was sitting by the fire and painting sand on the ground, heard the loud sound of wings flapping in the air, stood up, dropped the branch in his hand, and waved his arms happily above his head.

Todd slowly landed in the clearing of the temple ruins, opened his mouth to Meredith, and asked, "Remember my first training opponent on the island, the manticore?"

Meredith was stunned by Todd's sudden question.

After reacting, she said with some regret: "You came here specifically for the sake of that beast?"

Todd put away his dragon wings and looked down at Meredith: "There's one thing I want to ask for, the manticore is needed for this process. ”

Meredith sighed helplessly: "Okay, the colony of the manticore, in the crypt on the east side of Snow Mountain. There is a very large old tree that can be clearly seen from the air. When you're done, remember to come back to me, I have something to ask you. ”

Todd nodded, flapped his dragon wings again, and flew towards the snowy mountains of the Shadow Country.

After ten minutes of searching, Todd found the hidden crypt in Meredith's mouth under the ancient tree.

Todd gathered his wings and slowly glided to the ground. The small creatures around saw the figure of the black dragon and hurriedly fled in all directions, hiding in their respective lairs.

And Todd looked at the dark hole and couldn't help but wonder, how to call that manticore out?

After pondering at the door for a few minutes, to Todd's surprise, a manticore lion poked its head out of the hole in the ground and looked at the huge black dragon in front of him with tentative and fearful eyes.

With the true vision of the soul power, Todd recognized at a glance that the other party was the object he was looking for.

Taking a deep breath and slowly placing the dragon's claw on the lion's head, Todd was instantly sucked into darkness in the next second.

In the vast and infinite deep sea, the darkness of the five fingers that could not be seen, the huge Leviathan looked at the black dragon that appeared in front of him, and let out a low asking voice: "You came here for the secret of the soul link?"
