Chapter 31: Trickery II
【Wanghai Expedition Road Bosang】
Ace, who was sitting on the plaice, slowly opened his eyes, and the satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth made the viscount sitting next to him a little dazed, and a silver dagger in his hand shone brightly—it was the weapon that the Duke of Fishman had given him.
"My lord, why are you smiling like that? Are you looking forward to the next battle? The Viscount's flattering words began to increase again, and Ace gouged out his ears, ignoring the Viscount completely, he put away the dagger in his hand and silently stared ahead.
Just now, the battle between the Earl and Ike under his control did make him a little relieved, and he originally wanted to teach Ike a lesson, but he didn't expect him to be able to defeat the Earl Fishman, which really made Ace feel a little incredible, and Ike's small growth made him very satisfied, although this kid himself was also a little injured.
"My lord, in fact, I have always had a question, why are you so powerful and able to control all the viscounts and counts under the duke, why don't you be disrespectful to the duke?" The viscount asked, in Bo Sang, it is absurd to talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith in the upper class, and only wealth and power are the capital to speak, especially among these nobles.
"Viscount, you are still too simple, the Duke's strength is not below me, if I fight with him, it will not be worth him, but I don't want to fight with an opponent who is basically the same level as me in this kind of place, but what, those guys who are weaker than me, hehe I don't mind a few more loyal subordinates."
"Oh, my lord, you are so resourceful, I, Ramos, are your faithful servant! You're great! The viscount's flattery made Ace uncomfortable to hear, and although his words were very beautiful, Ace didn't like to hear them.
Ace looked at the city in the distance, emitting a magical rainbow light under the light of the sea, crystal clear castles and towers, neat streets and exquisite houses made the charm of this big city even deeper.
"In the city...... There's a very powerful aura.,Well.,It should be the duke of the pro-land faction.,It stands to reason that I shouldn't make a move on the duke of the pro-land faction.,But,I can't control the fish-man's affairs.,He's something on his body that can make my idiot contractor stronger.。 Ace smiled and looked in the direction of the fish-man duke, looking expectantly.
"My lord, are you an angel or a demon? Could it be that you were not only sent by the sea god, but also inherited the will of Satan? Oh, my lord, you are a mystery. The viscount seemed to have inertia, and blurted out a beautiful word.
"I'm just learning from those guys, and even though they call themselves dukes, they're not a little bit better than these fish-man dukes. By the way, Clough's old slippery head will definitely not leave such an important task to me alone, hehe, I really have some thoughts of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Ace smiled weirdly, and in his mind, a trick was brewing.
In that city, Ace deeply felt a familiar aura, that aura was warm and familiar, and he looked in that direction with a smile, and there were many incomprehensible meanings in his smile.
Even he didn't know what that aura was, he just felt very familiar, but when he thought about it, it was very unfamiliar.
……
After Ike fell into a deep sleep, he appeared on Haotian's grassland again, the wind and the sun skipped his cheeks, Haotian stood beside him, he looked at Haotian without saying a word, swallowed his saliva, and then said:
"You...... Can you turn into a human form and talk to me? He followed Haotian's burly dragon body and looked up, with burly dragon teeth, swimming dragon whiskers, and round dragon eyes. Above the dragon's head, a pair of brilliant golden dragon horns shone brightly.
"Is this dragon form a scare to your Excellency? Don't panic, just wait for a while. As soon as Haotian finished speaking, the dragon's body shone brightly, and then, the huge figure nearly a hundred meters tall shrunk into an eight-foot human form.
"It's cool to be a dragon, but I'm always a little scared that you'll be a dragon." Ike's unnaturalness disappeared without a trace after Haotian became a human, and Haotian smiled and said:
"Your Excellency doesn't know that when you turn into a dragon, you will have a dragon's might, and all things will tremble under the dragon's might, even the old lord is no exception, but the old lord can overcome this trembling." Haotian explained to Ike, although he still didn't understand it, but he was used to them preaching so much.
"Your Excellency's level is increasing day by day, this is all the effect of the dragon stone, this dragon stone effect is domineering, it can help you improve every day, it won't be long before you can get rid of your current weak state."
“…… Is it possible for me to increase my strength by doing nothing? Ike asked Haotian with a puzzled expression, Haotian's smile was very shiny, it really made Ike embarrassed.
"Your Excellency said and laughed, people are divided into two layers of power, internal and external, and what Dragonstone strengthens is the internal force, that is, the soul power, and the soul power is divided into five stages: void, abundance, condensation, vastness and immeasurable. In line with the division of magical power in the West, is Your Excellency's current realm ......" Although Haotian was still smiling, some helplessness appeared on his face.
“…… Do you want to say I'm a vain......" Ike said for him.
"Although you are void now, the dragon stone can allow you to enter the peak state of abundance in a short period of time, and then the condensed vastness and immeasurable realm will require your own creation." Haotian's words silenced him for a moment.
"In Your Excellency's team, not to mention the two apostles, the highest realm is Lord Cruise and Lord Vivian, both of them are in the condensation stage, although the stage of the two apostles is not low, but it is still far from the vastness." Listening to Haotian's words, Ike was a little relieved, even the perverted maniac was taller than him...... It's just two levels, so you don't have to worry about this kind of thing......
"But...... Your Excellency, you should be cautious, in this vast seabed, the contemptible can feel that there are three or four vast stage souls, and there is also an immeasurable soul, such a strong person, it is better for Your Excellency to stay far away, otherwise it is just affected by their battle, the small one will be seriously injured, and the big one will die in Huangquan. ”
Haotian's words gave Ike a precautionary shot, he swallowed his saliva and began to think about where he should go, although he could reach the big city that the old fishman told him by walking all the way down, but it was not good to always have this kind of killer on the road.
"Your Excellency can choose to cultivate first, if you reach the abundance stage, you will be able to temporarily touch the doorway of one of the two 'spiritual arts' left in the dragon stone, so that you can temporarily have the combat power of the condensation stage."
Hearing Haotian say this, Ike couldn't help but have a strong interest, not only was he interested, but even his eyes began to shine: "Really! Are you sure! Haotian, don't look at me as if I'm from a small town, just lie to me. ”
"Your Excellency said with a smile, the contemptible people never speak, the spiritual skills left by the contemptible people in the dragon stone, although they are profound and powerful, but they are spiritual skills that can grow, as long as Your Excellency is willing to work hard to cultivate, there will be great creations in the future."
"That's what you all said anyway...... So I still can't do anything right now......" Ike shrugged, sat down on the grass and began to pick his nostrils.
"Your Excellency, don't be so decadent! Let the old master see your decadent appearance now, I am afraid that it will be sad! Haotian suddenly became serious, and Ike rolled on the grass for two and lay lazily on the grass.
"I'm so tired...... I always feel super powerless, let's practice in a few years......" Just as Ike finished speaking, Haotian had already turned into the form of a dragon, and a burst of dragon power struck, making Ike unable to get up when he thought about it.
"Your Excellency! If you reach the Abundance Realm as soon as possible, you will be able to use the 'Spirit Technique: Dragon Emperor Venerable' to strengthen your body and reach the Solidification Realm. ”
"I know, what you said is true, hurry up and take your dragon power! It's hard to die! Ike was lying on the grass and was uncomfortable, and after listening to Haotian's words, he had to believe it if he didn't believe it, otherwise this dragon power was really disgusting.
"In that case, sit cross-legged and let the contemptible people teach you the essentials and laws!" Saying Haotian, a dragon roar made Ike sit cross-legged on the grass in fright, obediently listening to Haotian's speech, Haotian also understood that if he didn't take some violent measures, Ike would not be obedient to cultivate.
"You are all perverted and violent maniacs, I kind of understand......" Ike suddenly had a feeling of being full of inner cows, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it, although it was for his own good, but, cultivating under such a terrible dragon power, it really made people want to die.
【Wanghai Expedition Road Bosang Submarine Volcano】
The scene here was completely different from that of Bo Sanne, full of hot steam escaping from the overheating of the ground, transpiring sea water leaving crystalline particles on the rock face, and there was a very mysterious feeling around the blue color, the duke's gray hair floating in the hot steam, his eyes fixed on the scene below the volcano.
"I really don't understand, what's the meaning of this kind of place? But you always like to go to this kind of place to cultivate. ”
He was moving towards the entrance of the cave, and gradually, he could see that there was churning magma on the ground, steaming incessantly, as if the heat of the ground could no longer allow the sea to continue to exist, and this scene did not look like it was formed naturally at all, no natural magma could exist here for so long, and it also exuded a reddish color.
"Yo-hoo! Michael! You've come to look for me in a place like this. Is there something important? A voice came out of the gurgling vapor bubbles, and the Duke couldn't help but look at the figure between the lava and couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
Sure enough, some of these lava rocks are the work of this adult.
"No, no, it doesn't matter, it's just that the old guys of the mermaid royal family have come to me and asked me if I should take good care of our boss, and don't always occupy other people's territory and do something abnormal......" The duke said helplessly, and the lord didn't seem to be moved by it.
"Michael, how can this be abnormal, look at this magnificent scene, I am creating a miraculous scene! Also, I haven't finished this painting yet, how can you tell me to stop? As he spoke, an illusory easel appeared beside the figure, on which was a half-finished oil painting.
"Okay, my lord, you continue to paint your oil paintings, when you finish painting, we will have a trip to the empire, the emperor has been in some trouble recently, it seems that he has offended an ancient religion, and now he is looking for you in a hurry."
"Oh, Louis, is that little guy causing me trouble again, forget it, can't you help him solve this little thing, where do you need me?" The man said, the brush in his hand didn't stop.
"No, my lord, that ancient religion may have the information of the 'Courtyard of the Gods' in its hands, although it is an evil religion, it is better for you to dispose of it yourself." Hearing the words Courtyard of the Gods, the man's expression changed significantly, and he silently stopped the brush in his hand and sighed.
"Really, little Louis, do you have to get into such trouble? Forget it, Michael, when I'm done, we'll be in the Empire at once. He muttered, "The Garden of the Gods, interesting, interesting, I have a little longing for the unknown secrets of the original continent." ”
