“…… So, in exchange for allowing me to enter the Demon Source, you want me to set you free? ”

Lin An asked strangely, "With a contract that you can't break free with your ability, why do you think that I have a way to do it?" ”

["You have a lot of problems with Terran females! ”】

The paws shaved the sand, and the obsidian dragon held back his impatience and said, "What do you think I'm going to wake up? A few years ago, the Spirit of the Temple woke me up—I thought you would come back and wake up from sleep, and I waited until now. ”】

It leaned forward and sniffed with a small flame of fire, "Moreover, I sensed the contract of the Sky City in you. ”】

Lin An's eyes flickered.

"So, as soon as I entered this space, you sensed my existence, but you didn't show up until I was about to land on the island?"

Obsidian dragon stopper.

After a while, it became angry, "No matter, you have to help me break the contract anyway! ”】

As soon as it became angry, the dragon's language seemed to roar, roaring so that all the beasts trembled, and the islands shook for it, but it didn't move a finger from Lin An.

Lin An had already indirectly figured out the details of this giant dragon in the previous conversation.

“…… Moreover, if when the earth and the Lord of the Sky make a contract, the content of the contract states that once the Sky City recognizes the Lord, you will be free, why not just give you freedom at the moment when the Sky City recognizes me as the Lord, and you have to let me in? ”

Lin An turned a blind eye to the dragon's lust and said directly:

"Besides, if you're the guardian of Sky City, why do you have feelings for me and I don't for you?"

The dragon suddenly lost its voice, and its roaring stopped, and the trembling monsters hiding in their lair almost thought it was a delusion for a while.

["Well, you've won, Lord of the Temple—you've gained my approval!"] ”】

Putting away all disguises, the quiet dragon was like a wise man who had gone through a long time, and his eyes shone with wisdom.

This is the true face of this dragon.

Lin An had already seen it clearly.

If it was really as reckless and impulsive as it had been before, the demonic beasts and vegetation on this island would have been destroyed beyond recognition during the years of captivity, and it would not have been so orderly.

But now that the priorities have been reversed, Lin An said lightly with disapproval:

"I don't think the approval of a prisoner means anything to me."

"Really? ”】

The obsidian dragon opened its big mouth, and that expression might be called a "smile", as if it had seen through Lin An's pretense of relaxation:

["I don't know how long I've been asleep in the eggshell, but I'm sure it's not the time when the demigods ruled the continent...... Then there is only one reason, and I was hatched from the dragon egg, and that is that the temple has started the process of recognizing the lord on its own - what happened on this continent two thousand years ago? ”】

Lin An was silent for an instant.

The dragon's words were full of hints.

In fact, long after the dragon told Lin An about his age, Lin An realized what the dragon was implying to him.

The chances of the dragon lying are slim.

It was imprisoned beneath the ground, unaware of what was going on outside, and being able to say so accurately the number of 2,000 years already represented something.

More than 2,000 years ago, there was only one thing that happened on this continent - and that was the Demonic Calamity.

Is the dragon hinting that there is some connection between this demonic disaster and the awakening of the temple and the initiation of the recognition of the Lord?

Thinking further, the Sky City and the Earth Temple are essentially for sealing the spatial rift, and the secondary plane to which their spatial rift leads can be used as a springboard between the Demon Realm and the Krell plane-

Is this really a coincidence?

What is the dragon trying to imply?

What happened to the Castle in the Sky during the Demon Cataclysm 2,000 years ago?

No, no, no, no - stop! Stop!

In the Sky City and the Earth Temple, there is no trace of being occupied by the demons or even wars, even if there was an idea of the demons fighting the Sky City, it should not have succeeded.

However, the words of the obsidian dragon did shake Lin An.

She decided to go to the two sub-planes as soon as possible to check the status of the seals in the sub-planes, and if necessary, even if the existence of the two ruins was exposed, the spatial rift should be sealed.

Seeing that Lin An didn't answer, the dragon continued to babble there, like an old man:

【“…… It's not an exaggeration to say that I'm the guardian of the Demon Source, if it weren't for my Being, would you think this place would be calm for so long-even a dragon egg was used so thoroughly, it was really a shame that the Lord of the Earth and the Sky made ...... it"]

【“…… What are you going to do with me? To be clear up front, if you don't plan to let me out, I won't control those stupid guys anymore, just let them get close to the Demon Source! ”】

"If I let you out, wouldn't the demonic beasts here be just as careless!" When Lin An came back to his senses, he happened to hear this sentence and replied.

["Of course it's different! ”】

Seeing the opportunity, the giant dragon hurriedly said, "If you agree to let me out, I can help you clean up all the demonic beasts here, and there will be no trouble!"] ”】

"You're the biggest problem."

Lin An shook his head.

"If I could, I wouldn't mind if you weren't here, just as I didn't know about your stake before—"

"However, we all know that after being trapped for more than 2,000 years, do you really have no resentment in your heart? You can't hurt me now, it's just that you're bound by a contract, and once you make contact, you're the first to do it to me. ”

The dragon was silent.

"What if I would swear that I wouldn't hurt you? ”】

Lin An hesitated slightly and shook his head again.

"Just because you don't hurt me doesn't mean you won't be angry with other Terrans—"

"And, as you might have guessed, our plane is facing a war, and the enemy is the same as it was two thousand years ago, the same invader from another plane. At this time, you will have great destructive power and full of resentment towards the Terrans, and there are too many variables. Unless—"

"Unless what? ”】

"Unless," Lin An glanced at the dragon, "you're willing to sign a master-servant contract with me." ”

Long Wei erupted, several times more than before, like Mount Tai pressing the top, before the dragon erupted, Lin An hurriedly said:

"One hundred years! After a hundred years, you will have all your freedom, and there will be no more shackles! ”

The dragon's fury stopped before it reached its boiling point.

【“…… It's true? ”】

Between pride and freedom, the dragon finally chose freedom - without freedom, what is pride?

The dragon with advanced intelligence is well aware that it has no other choice.

Lin An took out the contract scroll given by the keeper and wrote down the content of the contract in front of the dragon.

The contents of the contract are set out in various rules and regulations, and they are set out with such great care that they can be regarded as a model for the rules of making a contract.

The dragon let out two fiery snorts, and said disdainfully:

["The great dragon god is above, and the obsidian dragon clan never breaks their oath! ”】

"We mages only believe in contracts." Lin An shrugged.

A man and a dragon signed a contract, and two spiritual lights, one white and one black, shot out from the contract scroll, connecting Lin An and the obsidian dragon at both ends, and the two swore at the same time.

Subsequently, the scroll spontaneously combusted and the contract was established!

In the master-servant contract, the master often benefits.

The contract given by the Warden was really powerful, and even allowed the contractor to choose, and Lin An naturally chose the last of the three items of magic power, spiritual power, and soul memory.

And then.

She almost burst her brain with the huge memories that poured into her!

……

【“…… I almost got killed by you! ”】

Lin An woke up, and a huge dragon head came in front of her, and then there was a burst of unbearable rudeness unique to dragon language:

["You don't even know how to 'store memories', you dare to choose to receive my soul memories - dozens of generations of dragons have never seen such a level of idiot! I'm really unlucky, I met you like ****#¥@#@※*@......"]

Lin An also realized that he had done something stupid.

"What did you do to me?"

After an examination, I found that in addition to some swelling pain in my brain, the inheritance memory that filled my mind before had disappeared!

["You are like this, but you have the attitude of a Candle Castle scholar who is curious. ”】

The dragon was also impressed by Lin An's thirst for knowledge, and his attitude unconsciously softened a little.

Lin An didn't know what the Candle Castle Scholar was, so he just stared at it.

"Okay, okay! ”】

The dragon said helplessly:

["I've used 'Stored Memory' to store those soul memories, if you have the ability to look inside the soul, you can find it if you look carefully, it's none of my business if you can't find it! ”】

It was indignant.

[Stored Memory] However, the innate abilities of the dragon clan, in addition to themselves, can only be used on other beings three times in a lifetime, and the dragon is usually kept for his own children, so as not to overgrow the inheritance memory of the ancestors of the past generations and turn the young dragon into an idiot.

However, in order to avoid Lin An's death, even it was unlucky, and the dragon had to consume this talent spell once when it was still a pathetic virgin dragon.

It was a little suspicious, was this Lin An's trick?

Lin An found the dragon inheritance memory stored in the corner of his soul, and he was overjoyed, and no longer cared about the attitude of the dragon.

The dragon was unhappy again, and taunted:

["The hillbilly who can't get on the stage has less than one ten-thousandth of the inheritance memory, or the most inconsequential part, and he can be happy like this! ”】

"This is not the time you know that the silver race will dominate the multiverse—"

Lin An said half-intimidatingly:

"If it were in another plane, for the sake of the inheritance knowledge of these dragons of the past generations in your mind, there would be countless legends, demigods, and even new gods staring at you, grabbing you and cramping and skinning, and even squeezing your soul dry!"

"So if you sign this contract, it's actually not a loss, a hundred years is only a few tenths of your life. Adapt to the outside world and go out for a streak - after all, you don't want to be the target of the gods! ”

"The environment of the multiverse is already so sinister?"

The dragon was skeptical.

It has been sleeping in the egg for countless epochs, from the heyday of the Silver Race to the era of the Bronze Race today, but it does not know the situation:

"Where have all my people gone? What about the dragon god? ”

"According to the knowledge that my fellow countryman has obtained from the Alternate Plane, most of the second-generation ancient gods of the Silver Race have fallen in Ragnarok, and the dragon god is one of the few surviving second-generation ancient gods. However, he was also seriously injured, so at his call, the dragons made a great migration—"

"It was this hurried migration that led you to be left out."

Lin An glanced at the dragon with pity:

"After your people migrated to the plane of the dragon clan, the dragon god closed the plane of the dragon clan, and now if you want to find a pure-blood dragon, I am afraid that you can only go to the abyss or purgatory to see if there are evil dragons such as hell dragons!"
