Whatever Northumbrård's tactics were, they no longer make sense. Because the established facts had been created, Northumbard began to invade Antolia and war broke out. And Ferreton has not done anything about this war that shook the entire Northern Continent for the time being.

But even the peasants of Ferreton, who knew nothing about military and political affairs, and who spent their days dealing with livestock and crops, knew the obvious fact that if the evil heretics who believed in the five-colored dragon queen succeeded in conquering Antolia and had no worries, they would surely attack Ferreton again. It's not a question of "yes or no", but of "sooner or later".

In Northumber, there has been such a view for a long time. That is the reason why they have not been able to accomplish their set military goals in the previous wars with Ferreton, in the final analysis, is because there is a country like Antolia that is very powerful and diametrically opposed to the position of the Black Dragon Empire across the sea. Therefore, every time the Black Dragon Empire used troops against Ferreton, the Black Dragon Empire had to deploy a considerable part of its forces on the western coast of the border to defend against the threat of Antolia. Such an arrangement often led to the lack of troops in the frontal battle with Ferredon, and finally failed.

"If you want to conquer Ferreton first, you must first settle Antolia", this strategic policy gradually became a consensus among the Northumbrup nobles.

The people of Ferreton also understood this truth, so they have maintained good relations with Antolia for a long time, and have never been stingy with all kinds of military assistance. And, as an island nation, Antolia boasts a Royal Navy that has long been able to successfully prevent Northumbard from reaching its sacred lands. But this time the war. According to Princess Angeline, Antolia's navy was annihilated by Northumbard in the first battle. It's a bit of a bizarre.

Although Gordon and his party are now far away in the endless abyss, it is because of the relationship of this little princess. So I also inadvertently got involved with this war.

"Lord Count, the Northumbradian attacks are so swift that we in Antolia have swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat after defeat before we can react. And to count on Ferreton to help, it is impossible in a short time. Now, in order to stop the descendants of those evil dragons and turn the tide in one fell swoop, I need my Wind Mystery Jewel 'Canglan' and the Water Mystery Jewel 'Grey Frost' in the hands of the White Dragon to activate a weapon. Little Princess Angeline explained to Gordon as she played with her hair.

A Secret Gem has the ability to completely freeze a large city like Seanzu. If it's two arcane gemstones...... Gordon could imagine how powerful Antolia's secret weapon, which required two arcane gems to activate.

Only this kind of storage, comparable to strategic nuclear weapons, can turn the tide of the war in Antolia in one fell swoop.

According to Princess Angeline, she herself was a natural holder of the Mystery of the Wind Gem for some special reason. And she is the only one in the whole of Antolia who can master and use the power of the Arcane Gem. Therefore, this time, the kingdom did not send other powerful mages, but instead sent her, a noble princess, to the dangerous endless abyss, which is also the reason.

Although the trip to the Endless Abyss looks sinister. However, with the powerful escort force led by the Golden Moon Sword Master, and the guidance of Antolia's most famous prophetic archmage, Essin Saga, before their departure, it is actually quite possible to achieve the ultimate goal.

Now, due to some unexpected circumstances, Princess Angeline and her guards are separated. But fortunately, she met Gordon and others, so she still has hope.

"I'm sorry, Lord Count." The little princess stood up. He bowed to Gordon. With an apologetic face, he said, "I can't tell you what kind of weapons Antolian are going to use to defeat the Northumbards. Because it is the top secret of the state, even I know very little. However, if you can get the Secret of Water Gem, then you, as the holder of the 'Grey Frost', will surely tell you everything when you arrive in Antolia. ”

"I'm also interested in going to Antolia. As for your country's secret weapon, I don't have much curiosity. Knowing more isn't necessarily a good thing. Gordon nodded slightly.

Since Antolia and Northumbard are at war, and Princess Angeline said that the war is quite tragic, Gordon has to worry about the safety of Shella, who is in Antoria.

However, Gordon was not interested in Antolia's strategic magic weapons that could reverse the occupation in one fell swoop, but he was very interested in the Arcane Gem. Especially how this little duke mainly used his secret gem to restrain the white dragon was something he had to know.

Princess Angeline didn't hide anything from this matter of life and death. She said, "Lord Earl, the Arcane Gem is the supreme treasure left over from ancient times that cannot be traced back, and it contains many secrets. As the Chosen One who was born with an Arcanic Gem, I am too young to wield most of the power of the Mystic Gem, but I still have a deep understanding of the nature of this magical thing—at least, stronger than the stupid Protein Dragon. ”

Angeline continued in a beautiful voice: "Because the arcane gem is of the same origin, as long as it is used properly, it can use the energy fluctuations generated by one arcane gem to suppress the power of another arcane gem. ”

"In other words, Your Highness the Princess, you can make it impossible for the White Dragon to draw unlimited energy from the Arcane Gem?"

"Yes. If the white dragon can't get energy from the arcane gem, it will no longer be immortal. However, my ability is limited, and I can only suppress the opponent's strength for a short period of time. So you probably won't have a lot of time. Alas, it's all because I didn't listen to my teacher's teachings and neglected to practice arcane......"

Princess Angeline said, her face gradually sank, and her eyes slowly filled with tears.

Seeing this, Venia on the side gently held the little girl's hand and comforted her softly: "Princess." You don't need to blame yourself. There is no guarantee that it will always be foolproof. What we need to do now is to think about how we can achieve our goals with the existing conditions. And my fiancé is the kind of person who can create infinite possibilities with limited resources. ”

Gordon touched his nose. He smiled wryly, "Venia, do you have unrealistic expectations of me?" I can't guarantee that I'll be able to kill that white dragon. ”

"It doesn't matter. I believe you. Venia stood on her tiptoes and imprinted a warm lip print on Gordon's cheek.

Well, even for the sake of a girl's kiss, Gordon has to work hard.

He called everything together and spent a full four hours working out the battle plan. Then everyone started to get busy, ready to give him a big "surprise" when the white dragon Emmonreth came home.

Gordon plans to make plans after thoroughly understanding the underground structure of this dragon's nest, that is, the entire Tower of Eternity. There wasn't much time left for him. But it's not urgent, and he can do a lot of things.

The place built for humans is clearly not suitable for a dragon. So Emmones Reis widened and improved the underground area, where he often moved, to suit his size. Of course, these projects are just psychological comfort. How could a creature in its pure energy form and be able to teleport in the ice at will be limited by physical space. From this, it can also be seen that the mental state of the white dragon Emmones Reis is really problematic, and it seems that he can't save himself. Have a clear understanding.

Except for a few places that had been messed up by the white dragon Emmonris, the entire underground area was extremely well preserved, and could even be said to be undamaged. Many items powered by arcane energy - such as lamps, heaters, and heaters. There is also the equipment of the baths, which are all functioning normally.

Aside from the fact that it doesn't have any food reserves, it's an underground base that apocalyptic survivalists dream of.

And. Gordon also found something that was of great interest to a mage.

A large and sophisticated magical room.

The various magical research equipment here is actually very well preserved. The vast majority are functional. Perhaps it was because of the suddenness of the incident, so the mages in the real room did not have time to transfer the equipment and research results. After Gordon lifted a few hastily placed magic locks. From a huge metal box, hundreds of stone slabs were found neatly stacked together.

These Akhorhia tablets, which were used by the scholars of the Dragonborn Empire to record important information, had already been seen by Gordon before, so they were no strangers.

He casually picked up a stone tablet, stroked its surface, injected a trace of arcane energy, and activated it, revealing rows and rows of words.

Gordon's eyes swept over these dragonborn words, and his eyes suddenly radiated a strange brilliance: "That white dragon is really a big fool, sitting on such a huge wealth of knowledge for nearly 10,000 years, but he doesn't notice it......"

The research recorded on these Akkhohia tablets is all related to cloning.

Soul transfer and human cloning are important means for the dragonborn mages of Akhorhia to extend their lives and achieve the goal of immortality. And the former owner of this real room is obviously a leader in this field of research.

Even from the standpoint of Gordon, a mage 10,000 years later, the knowledge recorded on these tablets was still very novel and cutting-edge, and he benefited a lot.

Although there is now a more convenient way to continue life, such as Iolum Imperium, these research materials on cloning are still very valuable for Gordon to learn.

Human cloning involves the advanced knowledge of the School of Change and the School of Necromancy, and in the process of studying and learning this spell, the mage's own understanding and application ability of these two arcane schools, as well as his understanding of the nature of life and energy, will be greatly improved.

This knowledge is reflected in the number of the system, which means that for every time Gordon reads a tablet, he can gain a full 200 experience points.

You know, even if he kills a powerful deluge now, he can only get more than fifty experience points. Such a rich return makes Gordon's mood at this time can be described as "full of joy". If he reads all of these tablets, he will gain a lot of experience points, at least for a long time, and he can use the "Spell Casting Free" specialty at will. You don't have to pay for it.

And, according to the prompts of the system. If he could read all the information left behind by the Akkhosia mage, he would not only be able to learn cloning. You'll also be able to gain access to a new Arcane specialization: the Advanced School of Change Mastery. This feats increase the effect of School of Change spells by 20%. For Gordon, who has mastered a series of change spells such as the Dissociation Technique, the Force Wall Technique, and the Durak Glass Transformation, it is definitely a very big improvement.

After preparing the battle plan for the white dragon with the others, Gordon plunged headlong into the real room and began to read the knowledge written on the Akhorhia tablets with voracious hunger.

After about five hours, Ji'er arrives in the real room and brings Gordon, who is immersed in the unique arcane system of the ancient Dragonborn Empire, back to the real world.

"What's wrong? Could it be that the white dragon is back? When Gordon saw Ji'er, who was on guard, suddenly appeared, he thought something big was happening.

However, looking at Ji'er's relaxed expression, it seems to be normal.

"The white dragon hasn't returned, but we do have two more guests." The eldest lady said. "Aziz and his sister are here."

"Really?" Gordon raised his eyebrows and lowered the slate in his hand.

It seems that the bearded mage was also lucky, and managed to escape Andrei's battle with Emmonris with his sister.

Although he has found a way to deal with the white dragon now, the more helpers on his side, the better, so of course he welcomes Aziz's arrival.

Leaving the magical room, Gordon followed Ji'er to the room where Aziz and his sister were.

"Talk slowly, I'm going to find Venia. Because of the war in the motherland, the little princess's love is not very high. I'll have to go with Venia to comfort her. ”

"I can't see that Miss Ji'er is so understanding."

"Of course." Ji'er glanced at Gordon, "Besides, no one can rest assured to see such a cute little girl frowning all day long." Not like some unscrupulous mage. In addition to studying those obscure arcane knowledge all day long, he likes to bully girls. ”

"Then according to your meaning, eldest lady, should I also comfort the little princess?"

"Hmph. Think beautifully! Ji'er crossed her waist and said, "You think I don't know what's going on in your heart?" At the time you fall into the bath. I've definitely seen Angeline out of her......"

Gordon shrugged: "Even if I take a look at the jade body of Her Royal Highness the Noble Princess, I don't have any additional thoughts. I wasn't interested in the body of a little girl. It's Ji'er, a beautiful girl like you who is in her youth. It's to my taste. ”

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about......" A layer of blush immediately spread from the root of Ji'er's ears to the entire white face, she glared at Gordon fiercely, "Laugh a little, what if you are heard by Aziz?" With that, the eldest lady stepped over Gordon's shoulder, stole a glance at the bearded mage in the room, and was relieved to find that he was talking to his sister.

"I, I'll ignore you, you go and deal with that turban man yourself."

Once, after winning a fight with the eldest lady of the Phoenix family, Gordon walked into the room with a smile on his face.

When Aziz saw Gordon, he also greeted him with a smile.

"I can see you're in a good mood, Master Freeman...... Well, your real name is much more pleasing to the ear, and your real body is much more pleasing to the eye. Aziz said.

He had already learned from Ji'er about Gordon's concealment of his identity. So now after seeing the other party's real body, I am not surprised.

"You seem to be in a good mood too, Master Aziz."

"Of course!" Aziz laughed and stroked his beard, "After my sister and I escaped from the battlefield between the White Dragon and Andrei, we accidentally entered the core area at the bottom of this Tower of Eternity, which is the giant magic circle that can draw water from the water elemental plane. Although I have stopped working now, I have benefited a lot and recorded a lot of useful information. I believe that when I return to the desert, it won't be long before I can create a small magic circle like this. ”

"Then congratulations." Gordon patted Aziz on the shoulder, "But if you want to use your discoveries to benefit the people of your country, you must first find a way to leave here." ”

Gordon told Aziz about the current state of the crowd. The bearded mage said, "Are you saying that if we want to leave this Tower of Eternity, we must deal with the white dragon?" ”

"Yes. The power of the arcane gem. It is impossible to fight it with ordinary means. ”

"But it looks like you're well prepared." Aziz's face was still relaxed, "So if there's anything I can do." You just tell you to do it. ”

"Master Aziz, I can naturally trust your strength. With your help. I believe the likelihood of success has increased a few more points. ”

In a few words, Gordon told Aziz about the battle plan. The latter nodded in understanding.

As soon as the conversation ended, Aziz suddenly said mysteriously: "Master Freeman, my sister and I walked all the way up from the underground magic circle to this area, and found a very interesting thing on the way, are you interested in taking a look?" ”

Although Gordon didn't have a lot of time, Aziz wasn't the kind of boring person who would drag him to see some useless objects, so he agreed to his request.

Aziz asked his sister Kaya to say hello to the other girls. And then with Gordon, all the way down.

Because in addition to being busy preparing to deal with the white dragon, he also had to spend time studying the stone slab obtained from the magic chamber, so Gordon did not fully explore the entire underground area. Aziz took him deep into areas that had not been explored before.

"Kaya and I used to walk down this ice trail from below. The place I'm going to take you to is right ahead. Aziz pointed to the black hole in front of him.

Now the two of them have left the artificial settlement and are walking in a completely natural winding cave. All sides were covered in hard, smooth ice, causing some trouble for the two men along the way.

But it's totally worth it to go through these little troubles. Because Gordon walked behind a huge ice cellar under the guidance of Aziz. He had just lit up the darkness with illumination, and was stunned by what was presented in front of him.

He saw the corpse of a dragon.

The corpse of a white dragon frozen in a huge block of ice like a small mountain.

He glanced at Aziz and said, "Could this be the body of the white dragon Emmonris?" ”

"Quite possibly. That's what I thought when I first saw this corpse. Aziz nodded. Agreed.

In the catastrophe of the arcane gem energy rampant back then, the body of the white dragon Emmonrys died, but the soul merged with the arcane gem. It has become a new life form.

Aziz looked at the corpse of the white dragon in the ice and said, "Strange. Emmonris seems to have forgotten that his body was sealed here. Didn't he even think about getting his body back? ”

"The white dragon's mind is not very clear, and he spends his days thinking about how to become a great dragon. It's a pity, though. In Seanzuri, where there are only ice, rocks, and illusions, Emmones can't be a villain. ”

Gordon stepped closer with the glow of magic and examined the dragon's body carefully.

Although the white dragon is the smallest of the five-colored dragons, it is still a behemoth compared to humans, and when you look at it up close, you can feel the oppression it exudes, even through a thick layer of ice.

"Master Freeman, what are you thinking?"

"I wondered if I could do something with this body."

"Do you want to dissect this dragon corpse? Indeed, every part of the dragon's body is worth ten thousand gold materials. ”

"Nope." Gordon shook his head and smiled, "While those dragon scales and dragon organs full of source energy are indeed attractive to a mage, I'm thinking about something else. I don't like to have all my chips in one place. When dealing with that white dragon, in addition to pinning my hopes on that little princess Angeline, there must be a backup plan, so I can rest assured. ”

He patted the white dragon's corpse through the ice and said, "This is my backup plan." ”

"I don't know very well." Aziz shook his head. Although he considered himself to be a gifted and intelligent mage, he seemed to be willing to bow down to this Freeman mage when it came to whimsy. (To be continued......)
