Chapter 001: Summoning the Dragon
The holiest profession in this world is: the Dragon Fighter.
If you want to become a dragon fighter, the first requirement is to have your own dragon.
The Dragon Summoning Ceremony is an important ritual to determine whether or not you can have a "dragon".
......
At this time, Cloud City, the Dragon Summoning Tower, is holding a dignified "Dragon Summoning Ceremony".
The dragon calling ceremony is held once a year, and the fifteen-year-old teenagers who participate in the dragon calling ceremony are also called call students.
A young man with black broken hair was mixed in with the call student, his hair was unkempt, his body was thin, and he had heavy dark circles under his eyes.
The boy's name is Mu Nan.
At this time, with staggering steps, he followed the team into the Dragon Summoning Tower.
Zhaolong Tower looks like the Tulou of the Min nationality, standing inside, people like standing in the well, looking up to see a round piece of blue sky, the bottom of the tower is in the middle is an ancient well, the floors on all sides are one ring after another.
There was a commotion from upstairs, and the other callees had already arrived early.
Call students also have different identities, like some teenagers born in the war dragon family, they have the privilege of going to the Dragon Summoning Tower in advance to prepare for the dragon summoning.
They proudly whistled upstairs, laughing at the last of the call students being stuffed into the dark waiting area at the bottom of the Tower.
The last batch of call students is the group of people with the worst qualifications in Yuncheng, also known as the weak chicken group, they have no hope of calling dragons, but according to the regulations, they were forced to be escorted by the city management to "go through the motions" when they reached the age.
As the last batch of call students entered, the entire Summoning Dragon Pagoda became more and more enthusiastic.
The newcomers of the Zhaolong Tower gathered, the atmosphere was warm, the shouts were piercing, and some "dignitaries" also came, and then a clear voice sounded, "Everyone, please be quiet." ”
"Next, the abbot of the Cloud Dragon Academy will lead you to summon the war dragon, and I will invite the abbot to speak. ”
Each place has its own dragon courtyard, and the Yunlong Courtyard is the official dragon training academy of Cloud City, and if the dragon is successfully summoned, you can enter the Yunlong Courtyard for further study.
There is an old man standing on the cover of the ancient manhole in the center of the tower, and this old man is the abbot of Yunlong Temple.
The old man glanced at the call, his eyebrows showing a faint expectation.
"The Dragon Summoning Ceremony is very important to each of you, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a turning point in your life, so please keep the following precautions in mind before officially summoning the Dragon. ”
"When everyone is born, there is a tread on their forehead, and this tread is the testimony of the 'descendant of the dragon', just like getting a contract to summon a war dragon, so that you are eligible to summon a dragon that belongs to your own destiny. ”
"But if your character is not strong enough, it will be difficult for you to pass the dragon summoning ceremony. ”
"Summoning dragons is very simple...... the old man pointed to the ancient well of Tayang, "This is the dragon well of our Cloud City, and the dragons of our Cloud City love to come out of this well." ”
"When I read your name, please jump into this dragon well. ”
"If you pass the dragon salute, a dragon will bring you out. ”
"If you summon a war dragon, then the tread pattern on your forehead will automatically be converted into a dragon pattern, and you can use it to summon a war dragon at any time in the future. ”
"If the dragon is unsummoned, then the forehead lines will disappear, and although there will be no dragon to bring you out, we will use a large bucket to fish you out of the well. ”
"So, please don't hesitate to jump into the well. ”
"Absolutely safe. ”
With that, he deliberately glanced at the last call to come in.
After that, he coughed, adjusted his tune, looked at everyone, and continued.
"Each person can only summon one dragon, this dragon is uniquely bound, and it is also a combat partner that accompanies a lifetime, but there is a high probability of failure to summon, you must be mentally prepared. ”
"If the dragon is successfully summoned, don't get too excited, the 'dragon' you just summoned doesn't look big, it looks like a ribbon fish, it's normal. ”
"The birth of the war dragon means the rebirth of Nirvana, so even if it is a dragon that will dominate the world in the future, the newly born form will only be the first-order form - the ichthyosaur form. ”
"But as you dome in the future, your dragons will naturally grow and become stronger. ”
"The growth of dragons is divided into ten levels. ”
"First order: ichthyosaur form. ”
"Second order: eel dragon form.
"Third order: python form. ”
"Fourth Order: Beaulieu Form. ”
"Fifth Order: Jiaolong Form. ”
"Sixth Order: Ying Long Form. ”
"Seventh Order: True Dragon Form. ”
"Eighth Order: Celestial Dragon Form. ”
"Ninth Order: Five-clawed Golden Dragon. ”
"Ultimate Tenth Order: Legendary Titled Divine Dragon. ”
Each stage is divided into ten sections. ”
"Of course, in addition to the growth stages of dragons, there are also high and low quality differences. ”
"The quality of the dragon species is divided into six qualities: mortal, high-quality, king, emperor, holy and god, and each quality is divided into nine grades. ”
"The higher the quality of the war dragon summoned, the stronger the taming speed, ability and potential of the war dragon in the future, and the greater the hope of achieving the dragon in the future. ”
The old man in charge of summoning the dragon salute bowed deeply to the ancient manhole cover, and then, the ancient manhole cover twitched, and gradually moved away, revealing the wellhead of the ancient well.
Above the ancient well, the mysterious streamer is faint.
The old man held a roll of parchment in his hand, raised his head, and his eyes scanned the crowd.
"I've finished talking about what I should say, now please keep a little distance and call the dragon in order of number. ”
Mu Nan glanced at his own brand, the number ninety-nine-eight, and his expression was slightly complicated.
Of course, he knew the rules of jumping into the well in Cloud City.
It's not as high-sounding as the old man said.
Yuncheng Longjing needs to absorb enough nutrients to avoid becoming a pool of stagnant water, and if it loses its spirituality, it will be even more difficult to summon dragons, so when it comes to the age of summoning dragons, every teenager must be forced to come and summon dragons.
In other words: jumping into a well.
Jumping into the well is the recovery of tread pattern, and tread is the "fertilizer" of Longjing.
The people here don't think that the call students of the weak chicken group can summon dragons at all.
And the people in the weak chicken group don't think they can summon the dragon.
It can only be "fertilizer".
Mu Nan shook his head, feeling ridiculous.
He is not from Yuncheng, and he has traveled a long way here only because the dragon he wants is hidden in this dragon well.
"No. 1, Qiu Mosheng. ”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a smart girl ran up from the team and couldn't wait to jump down the well.
After a while, a red smoke was released from the ancient well, lifting the girl who jumped into the well.
After the red smoke brought the girl safely to the ground, it transformed into a one-foot-long red ichthyosaur, floating in the air and floating beside the girl.
The old man announced the results, "Summoning the dragon successfully!" [Moon Red Dragon], quality: all products are of three grades, you can choose to practice the fire dragon technique, congratulations. ”
After the old man announced the results, the small red fish turned into a red smoke again, burrowed into the girl's dragon pattern, and disappeared.
Mu Nan had no objection to the old man's judgment - after coming out of the well, the prototype tread pattern on the girl's forehead disappeared, and turned into a red moon bud dragon pattern.
From this moon bud-shaped dragon pattern, it can be determined that the summoned war dragon is the [Moon Red Dragon].
Mu Nan had deliberately paid attention to the tail of the Moon Red Dragon and found that its tail had three dark folds.
That's right, the dark folds are the universal characteristics of the mortal dragon, and the three dark folds indicate that the quality of this dragon is the third level in the mortal product.
In a small place like Cloud City, it can be regarded as a small masterpiece that can summon a dragon of the third grade of mortal products, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the girl a white brand.
"Congratulations on becoming a draft student of Yunlong Academy, this is your dragon card, please keep this dragon card properly, it is a voucher for receiving the dragon satire, now please sit at the Xiucai seat. ”
Call students who are summoned to the dragon and promoted to draft students can get the draft opportunity of the superior dragon academy.
"Yes. ”
The girl took the sign and walked excitedly to the showman's seat, and everyone applauded, while she waved happily to everyone.
The dragon salute continues.
"Next, Ma Xiaoyun. ”
"Wang Jianlin. ”
"Mok Wenwei. ”
The process of summoning the dragon ceremony was faster than Mu Nan imagined, everyone jumped into the well neatly, and if the summoning was successful, they were sent out by the air mass, and if they were not summoned, they were fished out by the bucket.
The callers who passed the dragon ceremony excitedly took the dragon card, and those who did not pass left in a huff.
The dragon summoning ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner.
Looking at Longjing, Mu Nan's eyes were full of anticipation......
