Chapter 124: Finding the Key to Breaking the Limit
"Come, come, let me draw some blood. Zhang Cheng took out a grooved blood vessel, and swept it with a malicious look over the young dragon who had just eaten and was sitting on the ground burping.
It was obviously not the first time that the latter had encountered such a situation, and immediately stood up vigilantly, shaking his head constantly, and still vigorously retreating.
While it doesn't speak like the dragons in the world of Azeroth and the Forgotten Realms, it doesn't have a low level of intelligence.
I don't know if it's because of the modified relationship, or if the dragon in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire is not as close to a beast as the story depicts, but in short, it can not only understand a variety of complex words clearly, but also respond with movements and calls.
"Well, don't be naughty, or I'll be rude. Zhang Cheng's palm suddenly burst out of a biting cold, and the threat was self-evident.
The young dragon seemed to remember something, subconsciously shuddered, reluctantly flapped its wings and flew to the table, honestly raised its buttocks, and put on a pitiful appearance of being slaughtered.
"That's right, it's just a little blood...... Zhang Cheng said as he pierced the blood vessel into the part that was not covered by scales next to the "chrysanthemum".
Moment!
The dragon's blood, which carried the mysterious substance, melted the metal needles, and a wisp of red liquid that was hot like magma flowed into the glass test tube.
In order to prevent the test tube from melting as well, he quickly released a faint arcane energy, isolating the dragon's blood from the glass, and then squeezed out a little and poured it into a special container prepared in advance for further testing.
This includes the composition of dragon blood, its properties, its uses, and whether it can be fused with other forms of energy.
More importantly, Zhang Cheng hopes to find the way to transmit and use the energy of this world from the dragon's body.
After all, since the last time he squeezed out a lot of information about the "Children of the Forest" on "Littlefinger", he found that these near-extinct magical races were actually manipulated by the energy existing in the air through an act like a primitive religious ritual, and finally formed the spells they needed.
In addition to this, the "Children of the Forest" seem to have mastered a technology capable of storing energy into plants, especially the plant known as the Fish Beam Wood plant.
It is through this method that they have survived the "energy exhaustion period" again and again.
Until the ancestors landed on the continent of Westeros, a large number of forests were destroyed, and fish beams and trees were cut down, causing the children of the forest to lose the foundation on which they depended, and eventually the number became smaller and smaller, and they were on the verge of extinction.
However, because the materials are basically hieroglyphs and patterns, it is very difficult to decipher, and because of the old and incomplete age, Zhang Cheng still has no clue for a while.
But with the arrival of the red comet, the intensity of the mysterious energy in the air became higher and higher, and he felt that he could find a simple and convenient method first, so he shifted his main research direction to the dragon.
In any case, dragons are magical creatures, as can be seen from the rise and fall of House Targaryen.
During the time of Aegon I the Conqueror, which coincided with the height of mystical energy, his mount, the Black Death, Bellerion, grew to such an astonishing size that he could even swallow a bison in one bite.
But when the mysterious energy in the air gradually became thinner, the dragons that hatched later were not as large as the other, and finally they couldn't hatch at all.
This means that although the dragon also needs to eat, it is essentially a magical creature that survives by relying on mystical energy.
If he can figure out how the dragon uses the energy in the air, then Zhang Cheng has also found the key to breaking the limit.
Of course, it wasn't easy, especially since he had to deal with a lot of unexpected situations, such as......
Bang! Bang!
"Mistress Mason, are you in the room?" said Ello Tyrell's voice through the crack in the door.
"Damn!" Zhang Cheng cursed in a low voice, quickly pulling up a black cloth to cover all the unsightly experimental equipment and materials, and at the same time gently kicked the young dragon's right foot, signaling it to hide under the bed.
After everything was back to "normal", he took a deep breath, opened the door, pulled up the back of the girl's hand and kissed it, and greeted softly: "Good evening, my beautiful fiancée, is there anything you need to serve?"
"No, nothing. I...... I'm just a little bored and trying to find someone to talk to. A hint of blush appeared in Ai Luolian Mountain, and he responded a little embarrassedly.
"Oh, sorry, I was negligent. Why don't you take you for a walk on the beach?" Zhang Cheng hurriedly pretended to be enlightened.
In fact, he had long known how cruel it was to let a young and beautiful girl sit in a room all day without coming out, especially when the girl didn't even have anyone to talk to.
But in order to be able to squeeze out more time to engage in research, he deliberately turned a blind eye, and today the other party came to the door, so he naturally didn't have a good chance of refusing.
This little game of love will continue at least until the Tyrells are completely in control of the High Court.
"I ...... Can I get out?" Ai Luo's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
Although King's Landing has yet to hear that Lan Li and the Tyrells have joined forces to start a rebellion, anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that it is only a matter of time.
As a member of the Tyrells, she would be taken hostage as soon as she was exposed to the public eye.
Zhang Cheng smiled and promised: "Don't worry, as long as you have my company, anyone who wants to be unfavorable to you needs to ask about this sword." ”
In order to increase his persuasiveness, he also deliberately pulled out the magic sword, the Soul Hooker, in half.
The aura of evil and death made Ai Luo take half a step back in fright on the spot, and asked with some uncertainty, "...... your sword?"
"Relax, it's just a slightly sharper weapon, and it's inevitably tainted with some anger because I've killed too many enemies in the station. Let's go, while King's Landing is still calm, I'll take you to the beach to relax. It is estimated that when the war comes, the city will immediately turn into purgatory, and it will be very dangerous wherever you go. After that, Zhang Cheng closed the door casually, hugged the girl's slender waist, and couldn't help but pull the other party out of the house.
As a man who values privacy and secrecy, he doesn't want anyone to come into his bedroom, not even his closest bed mate, and Elo Tyrell sees him as a tool for a purpose, far from being an intimate companion.
In this way, a pair of young men and women walked through the street and in the direction of the sea, not noticing that there was always a sneaky figure following them not far behind them......
