Chapter 19: Inheritance
"You are the soul of the dragon? I'm here to borrow power from you. ”
"It's very straightforward, that's what the last person who tried to break the seal said to me. But, what a stupid word, I accidentally burned him to death. Now that you're saying the same thing to me, I don't know how long you'll live. ”
"Are you dead or alive, as if you could have killed me casually?"
"Boy, I don't have much patience to talk nonsense with you, hurry up and break my seal, or I'll kill you. ”
"How do I break the seal?"
"Sprinkle your blood on the seal. ”
I did as the dragon soul said, biting my finger and dripping blood here. In an instant, everything in front of me disappeared.
A flaming dragon soul appeared in front of me, and he looked like one who didn't dare to look at him directly.
"Can you lend me your power now?" I asked the Flame Dragon Soul
"What kidding, I'm just a soul body. In fact, I was already dead, and the moment before my body was destroyed, I sealed the last remaining strength of myself, formed a dragon egg, and spit it out into the distance. ”
"And then?"
"If that dragon egg can hatch smoothly, a baby in human form will appear, and he will grow like a human, but he is not human, he is a dragonborn, a human who can use dragon magic. ”
I couldn't make sense of what it mattered, but I wondered what it had to do with me.
"And you probably don't know yet. In order to break this seal, you must have the same blood as me, so ......"
"You mean...... Am I the Dragonborn?" I was shocked to hear the news, it turned out that this was the mystery of my origins
"That's right. The Flame Dragon Soul was silent for a moment
"It can't be, I don't have the characteristics of a dragon. ”
"You're leaking your arms out, and if you have dragon stripes on your shoulders, you must be right. ”
"Dragon?"
I remembered the "scar" on my shoulder, and I showed that "scar" to the soul of the dragon.
"That's right, you're a Dragonborn. "The Flame Dragon Soul was glad to see the dragon pattern on my arm
"Since I'm a dragonborn, how can I have dragon power? The whereabouts of a friend of mine are unknown, and I urgently need the power of a dragon to defeat the sea dragon Noguas. ”
"It's that little ghost of Noguas, have you ever had a situation where the flames in your body can't be controlled before?"
I thought about it for a moment, and it was true that the flames in my body had often been uncontrollable lately, as if there was another power in my body, and this power had been going berserk lately.
"Yes, I do unconsciously release flames. ”
"My son, this is the power within you that is awakening. ”
"Son?"
"Yes, you are the continuation of my flesh, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are my son. The Flame Dragon Soul said with a smile, the huge dragon head made me look hairy.
"But what does that have to do with the power I want to get from dragons?" I wondered
"Fool, the strength of a dragon lies in the strength of its body and the power of dragon magic. Now that you have the body of a dragon, all you need is the dragon's psychic power and the corresponding dragon spell so that you can use dragon magic. ”
"So how do you get the dragon's spiritual power, as well as the dragon spell?"
"The child is very simple, I am the dragon soul, as long as I become one with you, you will have the spiritual power of the dragon, and my dragon soul also contains a lot of dragon knowledge, which can be passed on to you. As for the dragon language, it will be recorded in some of the lost monuments on this continent. And, by hunting other dragons, you can also get their dragon souls. The dragon soul not only contains the knowledge and spiritual power of the dragon, but also a large amount of soul power, and the soul power is equivalent to magic power. ”
"Slay the dragon?" Before I could react, the soul of the dragon was gone, and I only felt that the sky was dark, and then I learned a lot of things that I didn't know. This includes how to use dragon magic. Based on my current strength, the strongest dragon magic I can use is the Flame Dragon Burst Claw.
At this time, I slowly came back to my senses and realized that everything I had just done was like a dream, and I returned to the place I had been.
"Father, Larick was not burned. The son of the Sea Emperor looked particularly happy
"It seems that all this is a matter of fate. The Sea Emperor's old face also showed a smile of relief.
"Larek, since you can unlock the seal of the Flame Dragon's Soul, you will definitely be able to obtain the power of the Flame Dragon, and I will give you three days to master this power. Sea Emperor said
"Your Majesty, I won't let you down. ”
"Larrick Field, I now officially canonize you as the Honorary Baron of the Deep Sea Fortress, and with the position of Chief of the Royal Guard, you can enter the palace at will. The Sea Emperor said to me with the golden scepter in hand
"Father, we should also train a group of elite troops. It is to select a hundred elite fighters to match the Tiger Shark mount. The Tiger Shark's speed and attack power are amazing, coupled with the combat power of elite fish-man warriors. This is definitely a force that will be feared by the enemy. In addition, train another group of fish-man warriors who throw steel forks. Also, we have too few long-range troops. We should train more speargunners to deal with the Kraken. Igor said everything about his strategy.
The Sea Emperor thought for a moment: "Son, it's not like I haven't thought about what you said. But there is no time left, and the enemy army is ready to move. ”
"Father, I can train a group of Tiger Shark Riders before the enemy attacks. Our Fish-Man warriors are all warriors who dare to die. The son of the Sea Emperor patted his chest and reassured
"Igor, father believes in you. Three days later, at the Festival of the Seas, we will organize a counteroffensive against the sea dragon Noguas. When the time comes, Larick will be the key to the outcome of this war. A smile appeared on the Sea Emperor's face
Back in my room, I thought about everything that had happened to Yanlong before. Belgrave, my beloved father, just met me and left me again. My heart was empty, and I didn't know what was going to happen next.
Time flashed by, and the Ocean Festival that the Sea Emperor said had finally arrived.
My mental outlook is obviously the same as before, and now I give people a feeling of high spirits.
"Today is the Festival of the Seas, Noguas, the sea dragon, wait, I am your nightmare. "I have a murderous aura in my bones.
Deep Sea Fortress, Ocean Festival.
Finally, it's time for the deep-sea fortress's biggest annual festival - the Ocean Festival
The Ocean Festival is a festival to celebrate the birthday of the Sea Emperor and is a festival for the fish-people to pray for blessings.
Thanks to the Ocean Festival, the mermaids change into beautiful clothes and take a dip in the water. They sang cheerfully, melodiously and gracefully. The upper body of a mermaid is the body of a human and the lower body is the body of a fish. These mermaids give me the feeling of a spring breeze.
When I got to the hall where the Sea Emperor was, I walked in. Now my status in the Deep Sea Fortress is also very high, and even the fish-man guards look at me with respect.
"Baron Larick. "The Sea Emperor stepped forward to greet me
"Larick, it's the Ocean Festival, and time flies. The son of the Sea Emperor said with a smile
"Whether we win this battle or not depends on you. The Sea Emperor patted me on the shoulder
"Sea Emperor, we are engaged with the enemy outside the deep sea fortress. The palace is bound to be empty, what if the enemy sneaks up?" I thought of a serious question
"Ha, don't be afraid of this. Our deep-sea fortress has a very strong defensive barrier, and the enemy cannot attack it even if he has thousands of troops. The son of the Sea Emperor said proudly
"I tell why the sea dragon Noguas has occupied all the seas except the Deep Sea Fortress, and only the Deep Sea Fortress survives. "This doubt in my mind was finally solved
"Baron Larick, we must only succeed in this war, not lose it. "The Sea Emperor showed an imperial temperament
I, the Sea Emperor Sairi, and Igor, the son of the Sea Emperor, raised their glasses and drank all the wine in the glasses, wishing victory in this war.
Over the next few days, the Sea Emperor's Son strengthened the defenses of the barracks while training the newly formed Tiger Shark Knights. The son of the Sea Emperor rode his star shark "Flying Arrow", and his posture was dashing and agile. The trident in his hand made it fascinating.
At the same time, the army of the sea dragon Noguas also began to act. Near the barracks of the Deep Sea Fortress, they were harassed every day by a small group of sea dragon Noguas troops. Moreover, the number of harassing troops is increasing every day.
"Baron Larick, you saw that too. The forces of the sea dragon Noguas are growing, and we must come up with a countermeasure. "The Sea Emperor said as soon as he saw me
"Your Majesty the Sea Emperor, what can you do?"
