Volume III: Turbulent Beginnings (Remastered) Chapter 33: The Adventures of Lake Sally Quene (5)
This time it was Yu Bin's turn to be inexplicable. If this is a different player and there is such an opportunity, it is not a snake with a stick, and you can fool as much as you want.
But Yu Bin will not be so short-sighted.
Not to mention that he is not very familiar with the dead lich of Navik, except for the indirect connection with Disamar, he also spent a period of time in the palace of Farhara, during which he can count the number of times he has met Navik on one hand.
Therefore, if these ice and fire dragons really meet the dead lich in the future, and then the two sides will have a pair of eyes, okay, Yu Bin will completely become a liar who cheats food, drinks and money.
At that time, not to mention that Yu Bin couldn't take any more benefits from the dead lich of Navik, it would be good not to be chased and killed by these ice and fire dragons all over the world.
"Forget it, I don't care." Yu Bin finally decided that it was better not to take this kind of hot potato, but the ins and outs of these ice and fire dragons had to be figured out, "I haven't heard anything about you from Lord Navik. Where did you come from? Why is Lord Navik called the master? ”
Mansaconko felt that the undead in front of him was too lovely, too noble, he didn't even care about his own rudeness, he really deserved to be the messenger chosen by the master, this noble sentiment and consciousness is simply a model for my generation to learn.
So, Mansaconko explained in detail the origin of the Salikene Ice and Fire Dragon group and the history of Lake Salikene.
According to Mansaconko, he is the 50th leader of the Salikaighne Ice and Fire Dragons.
As an ice and fire dragon transformed from wurm, their average lifespan is at least about a thousand years, although it is completely incomparable to those real dragons, but it is definitely longer than most life species.
When the previous leader is about to die, he will choose the best successor from the clan, and then through the innate ability engraved in the soul, all the experience and memories will be imprinted into the soul of this inheritor, and then the new successor will become the new leader of the Ice and Fire Dragon. And in this way, the Ice and Fire Dragon, who originally had no wisdom and only the instinct of beasts, would step into a more powerful realm because of his sufficient intelligence after becoming the leader of the clan.
The accumulation of generations of clan leaders has made Mansakonko directly possess the strength of a legendary hero after becoming the leader.
This made Yu Bin very surprised, he didn't expect that this guy who now seems to be submissive is still a legendary hero.
This ability to inherit the soul is exactly what Navik Frost has given to the Ice and Fire Dragon Clan. The entire Ice and Fire Dragon Race was also transformed by the dead lich of Navik Frostwhisper. Therefore, from the first leader of the Ice and Fire Dragon, it was believed that the entire Ice and Fire Dragon Race should be the slaves of the master of Navik, although the master did not impose any soul restraint on them, but the closeness in the soul and the pilgrimage-like worship accumulated through the soul inheritance from generation to generation still made these simple creatures unswervingly believe in this.
While Mansaconko didn't know why Navik had made them look like this, he knew that this was once the laboratory of the powerful being. Before the demons appeared on the continent of Ntagre, a large area near Mount Salikaine was already a place where the fire elemental was particularly active. It was once littered with volcanoes and lava, and even today there are some spatial fissures that connect to the fire elemental plane hidden in those pools of volcanic magma.
In order to better study the birth and growth of elemental life, Navik Frost spared no cost to open a spatial rift connecting the water elemental plane in the belly of Mount Salikene, which was once an active volcano, and solidified this spatial rift through some special means. In the course of his research, he discovered a species of wurm that lived nearby, and through some special means, the lich successfully transformed these wurms into a life that could use elemental powers.
However, this was also the final result of Navik's research, and he soon realized that the birth and growth of elemental beings could not be replicated by purely technical means, so he lost interest in the experiment and eventually left the place. The transformed Sallykene Ice and Fire Dragons were forgotten by Navik or left behind, but the lich didn't take them with them.
In this way, the Sallyknean Ice and Fire Dragon took root in the extinct volcano of Sarikne, and began to multiply.
And in the process of continuous inheritance, the entire Ice and Fire Dragon Clan also found a goal for themselves. That is to guard the treasures left here by the master, so that when the master returns here in the future, he can praise them with a saying, "Well done!" ”
Like an innocent child who loves his father, with such a simple and pure goal, the Sally Kaigne Ice and Fire Dragons have spent tens of thousands of years guarding this place from generation to generation, guarding the laboratory left here by their master, guarding that ethereal wish.
Yu Bin was moved by the perseverance of these ice and fire dragons for thousands of years. In particular, when Mansaconko and Yu Bin continued their way deeper into the huge lair, and finally came through a long rocky passage to a large stone cave that apparently served as a laboratory, Yu Bin was able to roughly guess the ins and outs of all this.
In order to guard this laboratory, each leader of the Ice and Fire Dragon clan placed his lair at the exit of this laboratory, which not only signified his status as a servant, but also contained an awareness that he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life to protect his master's property.
"Mansaconko, I'm sorry, I can't take you to Lord Navik." Yu Bin admires the dreams of these Ice and Fire Dragons who never give up, but unfortunately, he can't provide any help.
"No, please don't blame yourself, Your Excellency! Your presence here means that our master has not forgotten us, his most loyal servant, and that is the greatest reward for us. Mansaconko carefully moved his body to make sure he didn't touch anything in this laboratory, "We will continue to guard this place and protect the master's property, please rest assured that no one can harm the master's things!" ”
"Mansaconko, I promise that the next time I see Lord Navik, I will convey your thoughts to your lordship." Yu Bin wasn't lying, if he could find Navik, the dead lich, he would definitely tell him that there was still a group of loyal servants waiting for his reward and approval.
"Thank you very much!" Mansaconko bowed his head to Yu Bin, "It's a pity that we can't do more for our master than to guard the property that our master left here. Over the course of 10,000 years, the race has evolved over a long period of time to possess the power of fire and frost, but at the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that sufficient amounts of fire and water elements are consumed, which makes it difficult for us to leave this environment. ”
Speaking of this, Mansaconko seemed to feel a great shame, and his two heads lowered even more.
"I think Mistress Navic will find a solution." Yu Bin comforted Mansaconko.
Leaving Navik Frost's abandoned lab, Yu Bin and Mansaconko returned to the huge lair outside.
"Mansaconko, I need to get out of here." Now that he knew the ins and outs of these Sarikaine Ice and Fire Dragons, Yu Bin didn't worry about any harm he would suffer, so he decided to rush back as soon as possible to complete Farina's mission.
Maybe Yu Bin didn't use his identity as an envoy to coerce Mansaconko, so the current Mansaconko finally didn't have the same sense of restraint as before: "Your Excellency, Honorable Envoy, I will arrange for my people to send you out, but I must stay to guard the master's property, please forgive me for not being able to escort you personally." ”
"It's okay, Mansaconko, and besides, you can call me Ice Talk, Ice Talk, Dry Bone, please don't see outside."
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Ice Whisper. Finally, I have one more gift for you. Yu Bin's kind attitude made Mansaconko very happy, and after saying this, the red head let out a clear dragon groan.
With a sound of flapping wings from far and near, Yu Bin saw two adult ice and fire dragons flying towards here.
After taking a closer look, Yu Bin recognized that the two ice and fire dragons that flew over were the parents of the ice and fire dragon cubs who had been kidnapped by him before.
When the couple flew a short distance from the platform, one of the Ice and Fire Dragons, who didn't know if it was their mother or their father, stopped there, while the other continued on their way, landing beside Mansaconko.
As the ice and fire dragon lowered its head, Yu Bin realized that the greedy ice and fire dragon cub was being held in the mouth of the ice and fire dragon.
"Your Excellency Ice Whisper, my clan can only live here, and I can't help you more, but this little thing has been almost completely expelled from the fire element in his body because he has been close to the water source with you, and he will become the first descendant of the Ice and Fire Dragon clan to have pure frost power, maybe at that time, this little thing should no longer be called the Ice and Fire Dragon."
Following Mansaconko's words, the Ice and Fire Dragon, who was holding the little one, put his child in front of Yu Bin.
"Please take this little thing with you, I have poured some of my knowledge and power into this little thing's body, or in a few months, he will be able to get out of the larval stage, I believe that I can help you a little when the time comes."
Yu Bin looked at the little thing in front of him and couldn't laugh or cry. Who would have thought that after going around and around, this little guy would be sent to his own hands again.
Xiaoice Fire Dragon also blinked at Yu Bin with two pairs of big eyes, and after a while, he finally remembered that this was a good person who gave himself delicious snacks, so he was not afraid to pick up Yu Bin's equipment at all, climbed on Yu Bin's body, and looked around for the delicious snacks that made him unforgettable before.
Yu Bin was also amused by this little thing, so he took out the last few pieces of snowfoot rabbit meat from his backpack and threw them into the little guy's mouth.
After eating a delicious snack, the little thing finally lay quietly on Yu Bin's back, chewing on his two heads little by little, obviously about to fall asleep.
"Our Ice and Fire Dragon cubs spend almost half of their time sleeping every day, which is also a necessary process for them to grow, so please don't worry." Seeing that this little thing was so faceless and fell asleep after eating, Mansaconko also felt that he couldn't hold it on his face, but he still explained it to Yu Bin.
And as Yu Bin successfully signed a pet contract with this little thing, the ice and fire dragon couple couldn't help but let out a reluctant dragon groan.
However, this was a decision made by their leader after all, and the ice and fire dragon that landed on the platform looked at his child with caring eyes, and at the same time leaned down and motioned for Yu Bin to ride up.
"He will take you away from the Salikaigne Mountains, I wish you success, Your Excellency Ice Whisper!" Mansaconko also stood up, and both heads greeted Yu Bin together.
"Mansaconko, I'll grant your wishes!" Yu Bin assured again.
As the Ice and Fire Dragon under him flew higher and higher, Yu Bin also heard the loud dragon groan coming from all around.
As if to remember the past of the race, but also seemed to look forward to the future of the race, as Mansaconko began to raise his head and groan, all the ice and fire dragons in the mountainside began to let out dragon groans to echo, and for a while, the loud and thick dragon groans shook the earth.
Yu Bin got down from the ice and fire dragon and said to the ice and fire dragon that was carrying him back to the foot of the mountain, "I will take good care of your child." ”
It seems that as a special sense of parents, this ice and fire dragon nodded towards Yu Bin very humanely, and looked affectionately at the child who was sleeping on Yu Bin's back for the last time, and finally spread his wings and left, returning to the group.
Yu Bin looked at the ice and fire dragon cub in front of him with a smile and a smile, oh, maybe it should be called a double-headed ice dragon cub now.
In the world of Entagre, the difference between pets and mounts is not obvious, and in many cases the two identities can be switched between each other. For example, Yu Bin's Demon Bone Dragon Horse, although this unique undead war horse is Yu Bin's mount, but when necessary, Yu Bin can also summon it and let the Demon Bone Dragon Horse fight as an individual, of course, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is definitely not comparable to the original Holy Blue Dragon Horse.
And now this two-headed ice dragon cub, after he gets out of his infancy and enters the growth period, even if he has the initial combat ability, he can participate in the battle as a pet. And when he enters adulthood, he is enough to bear Yu Bin's weight to fly, which can be regarded as Yu Bin's flying mount.
Yu Bin didn't expect that his first flying mount would be obtained in this way, but when he thought that he would have to be responsible for raising this little guy, Yu Bin felt that one head and two big, no matter how cute this little guy looked, it was also a wurm, and the food he needed every day was no joke.
Alas, I didn't expect to start having pets too! Yu Bin shook his head self-deprecatingly.
