Chapter 286: Transition
Ancient dragon Ayuken Etherick.
A famous polymath and one of the oldest dragons in the day.
Of course, even his daughter has grown into an ancient dragon, and he must be old enough to fly, it is rumored that he is close to three thousand years old, even in many realms, among so many dragons, he can still be regarded as an elder.
At one time, he would travel to many realms, spend his time discovering many natural wonders and cultural landscapes, and visit any type of dragon in the area, including evil dragons, and then advise them on the status quo and persuade them to act.
The good dragons took his words to heart and thought much about the wise man's proverbs, and the evil dragons were often furious at his presence and fingers, but few dared to attack him, because he was too powerful.
The strength of the dragon has always been directly linked to age, and those who live for a long time must be strong.
At the same time, as Lu En had known before, this was also a versatile dragon with many interests and areas of expertise, this ancient golden dragon was mature, polite and charismatic, and most commendable, he was also a connoisseur of fine jewelry, and also a master jeweler, and, I don't know if Elaine was influenced by him, he paid special attention to theology, and always actively sought to talk to celestial beings and discuss matters about gods and religion.
And now, on behalf of the church, he is visiting Luen.
"You're very welcome, Lord Ayouken, why don't you go in and talk?" Lu En pointed to his single-family villa and proposed.
"Of course~, I'd love to talk more to a great guy like you, to be able to keep that slacker in my house awake for so long to work, I've always been curious about how you did it!" Ayouken's expression was very happy, and he seemed very happy to meet Lu En.
But the other party's words made Lu En's smile awkward.
It was embarrassing, because of course he knew how......
It was made possible by Kara's iron fist......
If you are lazy, you will be directly sanctioned with an iron fist, and the way to deal with slackers is to clean up solidly, Kara is very good at this kind of thing, she hasn't been there for the past half a month, and she probably starts to be lazy again!
But in front of other people's fathers, he is not too embarrassed to say it, can he tell others: "Hello, I solve your daughter's lazy problem by smacking her twice a day!" ”
Lu En felt that after saying this, Ayuken would give him a solid beating.
It's really sturdy.
He didn't think that he could beat a three-thousand-year-old ancient dragon, and if he really fought, he would definitely be pressed to the ground by the other party and blasted with a hammer, just from the information he knew, he knew it...... This dragon has three level 9 skills!
Three!
The lifespan of the dragon is really too long, Elaine can grind out a lot of weird skills with her lifespan, and even got herself to level 8, and her father, it is not unusual to have three level 9 skills.
As far as Lu En knows, these three skills are Jewelry Crafting 9, Insight 9, and Onslaught 9.
Yes, including Onslaught 9, and the opponent is still a Magic 7.
The three-thousand-year-old ancient dragons are by no means just what their expressions look like, they have too many things that can accumulate in their long lifespan, just like the calm and clear sea, and the depth of the seabed cannot be seen from the surface at all.
Recommended, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, you can cache and read aloud offline!
Lu and Ayuken made their way to the living room of their house, and Kara went to prepare refreshments, leaving only the two to sit facing each other.
And Lu En waited for the other party to speak first.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to give you the meeting gift I prepared earlier, I have referred to a lot of your rumors and stories, and made such a gem, hoping to show your merits." Ayouken was the first to speak, smiling as he handed over his gift.
It was a strange gem, and I don't know what it was anymore, because it had been transformed too much.
The whole is a brilliant golden red, like the center of a firework, and the optical structure inside and outside the gem has all been finely modified, only a little light is needed to resemble a flame, and with such an optical structure, Lu En can also feel that it is faintly in line with the law of a certain magic array.
He tentatively activated the jewel, and suddenly, he suddenly felt a surge of energy!
The spirit of swallowing mountains and rivers! As if on the passionate battlefield, countless people sang high songs, lined up in columns, and rushed to the battlefield in a neat and orderly manner, without confusion or hesitation!
Their anger lit up the whole world like a fire, and it was as if he saw everyone's souls burning fiercely!
Then, all this feeling came to an abrupt end, and he suddenly woke up!
"...... was that?" He took the gem and looked at Ayouken in front of him.
"Didn't I introduce it? I have made such a gem with reference to many of your rumors and stories, which is the conclusion that I have come to by speculating about you, in other words, this gem is art, art that exists to express thoughts. Ayouken spread his hands and explained.
“…… I haven't done anything like this, I've done petty theft, mixed up status, and the ideas expressed in it don't seem to fit me as a person. Lu En said with a smile.
At the same time, he was a little frightened.
Worthy of Insight 9, how did he perceive this?
"Haha, it's just an instinct from a skill, how do I know what's going on? Maybe you're still ambitious? No one can say for sure, the first source of art is intuition, and I never do the kind of thing that requires a long time of observation and then slowly comes to a conclusion, that's what the academic school does. ”
"I've always used my first impressions as a source of inspiration, and I've only made one thing, so I don't have to dwell too much on the others, it's just a small gift, and I don't even spend too much time working on it." Ayouken explained with a smile, so that Lu En didn't have to worry too much about this thing.
“…… Yes, you're right, it's just a small gift. Lu En frowned at first, and then smiled with relief.
Yes, there's no need to dwell too much on it, it doesn't matter at all, Ayuken just made a small gift, and it just seems stranger to care too much about it.
"Although it seems unlikely, I still have to warn that although that thing is very valuable, don't sell it~, I will be unhappy, of course, my displeasure will not change anything, and I can't beat you because of this kind of thing." Ayouken made a little joke.
Lu En smiled at the right time: "I'm afraid that only a fool would sell a level 9 masterpiece, this is probably the most valuable thing in my body, how can I be willing to sell it to others?" ”
"If you really can't survive, maybe selling this thing may really make you come back~, there are many Gu Long Ke who appreciate my work, and they are very willing to pay a high price for this thing." Ayouken prompted.
Lu En's heart sank, and he understood what the other party meant.
This thing may even be used to buy an ancient dragon at a critical moment, so that some dragons can back down at a critical moment, and may even directly hire an ancient dragon to fight.
You know, the real dragon likes these shiny things the most.
"This ...... What a precious gift, thank you very much. Lu En said sincerely again.
"It's okay, it's just a little thank you for taking care of Elaine." Ayuken responded politely.
"Of course, I'm always welcome." Lu En replied.
That's when Kara walked in with refreshments, placed them on the table, nodded to Ayuken, and stepped back, closing the door by the way.
"She's a good girl, as good as my daughter, I've seen her before, she's able to restrain her dragon nature and grow into what she is now, and she can be a role model for many people." Ayuken looked in the direction Kara had left, and there was a heartfelt appreciation in his eyes.
"It wasn't easy, she was ...... Not very friendly. Lu was reluctant to say much about it, after all, it wasn't a good time for Kara.
"Hahahaha, no ancient dragon is friendly, even my little baby is like this, the process of growing up is always accompanied by a lot of forced battles, violence, sometimes, it is difficult to achieve your goals by words and brains alone, and sometimes you will even lose something important to you, so, the necessary opportunity to show your fists, don't miss it." Gu Long leaned back in his chair and said very relaxedly.
But Lu En couldn't relax, he didn't know what the other party was hinting at, and his brain was thinking quickly while talking to the other party: "I think I'm violent enough, even the earth dragon was killed by me, and the military is probably very annoyed with me now." ”
His tone was also relaxed, of course, pretended.
"So you're doing well, sometimes, you should think of you, I've always wanted my little baby to learn from you, I hope she can learn from you how to use her little head, instead of just sleeping with her head, that's ...... My little request, how's it, are you free? Ayuken straightened up and said earnestly.
"Of course, we're good friends now, she has a good relationship with me and Carla and has made some new friends recently and I gave her a ...... Well, work, now she only sleeps ten hours a day, which is a lot less than before, which is a big improvement. Lu En introduced Elaine's current situation and agreed to it.
"That's fine, only ten hours of sleep, well, I hope she doesn't have a nervous breakdown from overwork, but young people have to work hard to learn, and I shouldn't interfere with that." Ayouken said this, a little rambling.
Lu En didn't answer, but he couldn't help but slander that ten hours of sleep a day was too tiring...... Elaine has grown up like this, and she must have nothing to do with you, an old ghost!
As if he felt that the words were too homely, Ayuken coughed dryly.
"Ahem, but, after the greetings, I'm afraid we'll have to talk about business, don't you mind?" Ayouken crossed his hands and placed them on the table, his tone becoming a little more serious.
"Of course, I'm listening." Lu En also sat up straight.
"The Holy See wants me to kill you, but I can't kill my little darling friend, so they took a step back and hoped that I would teach you a lesson, don't let you do anything too far with the church, preferably never." "At the same time, I need to help them build a church in Anliu, and that's going to take your cooperation, little by little," Ayouken said. ”
"Give me a lesson? Does this need to bring you over? No, how can they command you? The church should not have such strength. Lu En was a little surprised, and Ayuken's words made him a little suspicious.
Does the Church have the power to command Ayuken?!
He didn't believe it.
"Of course, it's a deal, I've been studying theology lately, I'm interested in religion, and they're willing to let me read the holy scriptures in their original form, and I can get the opportunity to meet the gods in person, so I agreed."
"Of course, I know that building a church there is a violation for you, I can make some compensation for the benefits, sorry boy, it is important to me to be able to see the gods in person, I was carried away by emotions at the time, I was not able to hold on, and gave up your interests to satisfy my intellectual curiosity, you can ask for it."
"As long as it's within my power, I'll compensate you." Ayouken made things clear and apologized to Luen.
"There's no need for this, you are my elder, just like you said before, we don't necessarily have to use interests to talk about this matter, it's important to you, then of course I should help you, of course the church can, this is no problem, I will also take the initiative to ease the relationship with the church, if I need to do some drama, I can also fully cooperate." Lu En didn't ask for much compensation.
