Chapter Eighty-Four: The Bloodline Mark
The diamond-shaped scales were only the size of a fingernail, but they exuded a different kind of aura of strength, which made Ye Qi, who had a keen perception, subconsciously stare at it and take a closer look - from the outside, it looked like a lizard, but it was not so sharp and angular, and compared to snakes, it was a little more abrupt; In short, it was a scale that Ye Qi had never seen before, and the force on it was full of energy.
It is completely derived from the power of the Bronze Dragon!
"You've found out, haven't you?" There was a hint of unconcealable sympathy in the tone of the Bronze Dragon Maiden, "This is the true source of our strength - the blood imprint!" ”
"My strength isn't hindered, and there's no other anomaly?"
"That's because you didn't find it peculiar!"
On the face of the bronze dragon girl, the sympathetic look became more and more intense.
Looking at the other party's sympathetic look, Ye Qi couldn't help but shrug his shoulders - Ye Qi himself is not too clear about his own situation, his own bloodline should be from his teacher according to that 'memory', but then with the blessing of the system, it is already out of the corresponding category.
Even, Ye Qi didn't find any memories of the 'blood imprint' in his own memory - he was sure that there was absolutely no such thing on his teacher's body.
"Blood imprint is the only one like you?"
Ye Qi asked thoughtfully.
"Of course not, mine is a very special kind - most of the bloodline marks of the Dragonborn are on the hands, feet, or torso!" The Bronze Dragon Maiden didn't hide anything, and said directly, "And some special ones will be in the eyes, forehead, or even more specific!" ”
"More peculiar?"
Ye Qi asked.
"Hmm. For example, horns or tails! ”
As he spoke. The bronze dragon girl stretched out her hand and gestured above her head and behind her.
Look at the bronze dragon girl with her hands on top of her head. Then put it behind him, Ye Qi raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: "Hmm, why do I always feel that the blood imprint is excessive erosion of blood!" ”
Bloodline erosion, a phenomenon that only occurs with half-bloods; In the form of the 'expulsion' of one bloodline from the other, it is simply more inclined to the appearance of a person other than humans, just like the Zilyan of the Blood Alliance Tower, which is the most typical appearance of the purgatory bloodline.
Words from the bottom of my heart. Ye Qi didn't tell the bronze dragon girl in front of him who was excited to explain to himself - obviously, the other party did not task this to be blood erosion, but a special existence, which seemed to have a sense of honor or something; Coupled with the word 'blood relative' in the 'blood imprint', a trace of it is naturally self-evident.
Therefore, although Ye Qi has his own thoughts in his heart, he will never break the expectations of others - some people may think that it is good to let him recognize reality, but in the final analysis, the cruelty of reality is enough to make an existence collapse; Not to mention. He doesn't have real evidence to prove anything yet.
So, what exactly is a 'blood mark'? Whether it's 'blood erosion'. Ye Qi couldn't jump to conclusions at all.
With the thought in his heart, Ye Qi continued to ask: "What can these 'blood imprints' do?" ”
"Increase and gain power!"
The bronze dragon girl replied very affirmatively, and then, pointing to the scales on her forehead, said, "Just like mine, it can make me a half-dragon, gain more strength than I am now, and I can recover quickly; And those on the hands, feet, or torso can make the palm like a knife, faster, and the body like steel! ”
"As for the horns and tails......"
When the bronze dragon girl said this, her brow furrowed involuntarily, obviously thinking of some unpleasant experience; However, she soon returned to normal, and continued: "The word of the horn represents the language of the dragon, a symbol of wisdom; The tail is a symbol of strength, and they are all quite special blood imprints, which only two or three people possessed when I fled Dragon Island. ”
Dragon's language and strength are .........
Ye Qi nodded in thought as he continued to ask what he was interested in: "Escape from Dragon Island?" Does Dragon Island still exist? Oh, and don't get me wrong...... Because my teacher also escaped from Dragon Island back then, as far as I know, it was very chaotic, almost in a state of complete chaos! ”
"Well, that's what Dragon Isle is...... From the time I was born until I fled when I was 10 years old, it was like that! The Bronze Dragon Maiden nodded, affirming Ye Qi's statement, "And compared to what you know, Dragon Island will only be more chaotic - the rise of some organizations has made the war more fierce and cruel after a short period of peace and recuperation on Dragon Island; After all, you can escape if you can't beat it before, but when you join the organization, running away has become death! ”
"When you get asylum, you have to pay!"
Ye Qi, who felt something, said naturally; However, this was exchanged for a cold snort from the bronze dragon girl.
"Is there something wrong?"
Ye Qi asked in surprise.
"If you get asylum, then it's natural to pay...... But if there is no shelter, what if you are just blindly forced to pay? ”
The bronze dragon girl sneered.
"Is it similar to 'forced expropriation' and squeezing......"
Ye Qi had some guesses.
Such speculation is not difficult, and throughout the history of Lorant, it has always been the case that the substance of the word, no matter what the name, does not change at all; Of course, there are more cruel and direct methods.
For example: slaves!
Those who, under the leather whip, are not as alive as livestock—they are made up of people on multiple levels, the most direct prisoners of war, bankrupts...... and prisoners, or peasants who do their duty.
These people lost their rights, were plundered by the nobles, and the dignity of life was completely lost.
In such a life, if you want to resist and escape, it is naturally understandable.
"It's even more abominable than that! They, they ......" The Bronze Dragon Girl was annoyed, and her tone was unstable. Finally after taking two deep breaths. Only then did he say slowly: "They devour their own kind!" ”
"Devouring the same kind?!"
Ye Qiyi frowned.
At any time. Cannibalism is unacceptable, in addition to morality, it is more about something in the heart, once it is abandoned, then it is impossible to stop at all; Some people call it conscience, while others call it the bottom line.
"Well, I don't know when. A legend began to circulate on Dragon Island - devouring the same kind can increase the mark of blood relatives! After the bronze dragon girl nodded, her voice said coldly, "And it is precisely because of this legend that a large number of dragonborns began to fight each other, and then devoured each other...... In the same way, it also gave a respite to the soon-to-be-destroyed Dragon Island! ”
"Did a lot of Dragonborn die?"
Ye Qi asked.
"In just one year, more than forty percent of the Dragonborn died, two percent went missing, and the remaining forty percent were not scarred. Had to recuperate! ”
In replying, the bronze dragon girl kept sneering; And looking at such a sneer. Ye Qi's heart moved slightly, and said, "That legend is fake...... Or, a half-truth! ”
The red bronze dragon girl glanced at Ye Qi, who guessed the answer in surprise: "Half-truths, some blood imprints have been enhanced, and more are not moving-you are really smart, so can you guess what happened after that?" ”
"I just looked at your face and guessed!" Ye Qi shrugged with a wry smile, but he continued to speculate: "After that, it should be divided into classes or grades, right?" These dragonborns who can improve and enhance the mark of blood relatives have gained a special or higher status, while those who cannot be promoted have been reduced to lower-level existences? ”
"That's right! That's what you guessed too? ”
The Bronze Dragon Maiden was looking at Ye Qi with a completely surprised gaze, especially the position on the top of Ye Qi's head—she was not checking at all to see if there were two dragon horns hidden in Ye Qi's hair.
"I see it here, right?"
Ye Qi ruffled his hair, and then explained: "It's just because I like to read, so I know some such things; After all, in the history of Lorante, such things are not uncommon - those with special abilities, once they appear among ordinary people, if they are not killed, will go to a peak! ”
"The former wizarding dynasty, and the holy age after that, are like this!"
As he spoke, Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders.
"Is that so?" The Bronze Dragon Maiden was a little puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it, and continued: "However, those dragonborns did gain a higher status as you said, and some special organizations also appeared—and then, my parents were also one of them; It's just that he died in a battle! ”
The red bronze dragon girl had a gloomy face when she mentioned her parents, and that strange emotion told Ye Qi again that everything would not be so simple; However, this was already related to the privacy of the other party, Ye Qi did not ask, but asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment.
Ye Qi asked, "Are Dragon Island and Lorante still connected?" ”
Dragon Island, according to the chief wizard, is supposed to be a half-plane, and a half-plane that has been disconnected from Lorante; In other words, coming to Lorant from Dragon Island is not an easy thing to do, even quite difficult.
"It was only in a few moments that Dragon Island was able to connect with Lorante, and I took advantage of that time to escape to Lorante!"
"Didn't Dragon Island react? For your escape? ”
Ye Qi asked curiously.
"Do you think a girl around 10 years old, although she is a dragonborn, but under the deliberate hiding of her parents, who will really care?"
The bronze dragon girl asked angrily.
"Well, thank you parents!"
Ye Qi said very seriously.
"I've always been grateful to my father and mother – without them, I'm afraid I would have been used as fodder! You must know that a dragonborn with a blood imprint like me will be used as a great tonic before he has the strength to protect himself! ”
The bronze dragon girl nodded.
"And now?"
Ye Qi laughed - although the Red Bronze Dragon is not the existence of the evil camp, its chaotic prefix must make it have a rather grudge-holding characteristic.
In fact. Whether it has a confusing prefix or not. The identity of women has long been destined for such characteristics.
"There's no real certainty yet...... After all. There are some very shameless guys in it; So, I have to wait again; But ......" As she spoke, the Bronze Dragon Maiden looked at Ye Qi and said, "However, I have found a candidate who is very suitable for my ally!" A Dragonborn who is a Dragonborn, but did not grow up on Dragon Island, and has not been corrupted by the rules of Dragon Island, is really a very good ally candidate! ”
"I'm not really the right fit! I simply can't leave Lorante anytime soon! ”
Ye Qi shook his head and refused.
"I don't mean to return to Dragon Island anytime soon!"
The Bronze Dragon Maiden didn't mind Ye Qi's refusal. She said very indifferently: "You must know that the time for Lu Dao to return to Dragon Island is not so short-besides, I need more preparation!" ”
"Well, then!"
Ye Qi thought for a moment, and finally nodded—he thought of his current situation, a situation where there was an extremely urgent need to employ people.
"Bronze Dragonborn, Zhuya!"
The bronze dragon girl stretched out her palm.
"Ye Qi, hmm...... It should be the Dragonborn of Time! ”
Ye Qi shook the other party's palm and said with a slight hesitation - from that memory, he should have the blood of the golden dragon. But that bloodline did not manifest itself in him, but instead came from the blessings of the system. But the characteristics of his time dragon are always revealed.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, I chose the blessing from the system.
"Time Dragon?!"
The Red Bronze Dragon Maiden was very surprised by Ye Qi's answer, but after thinking for a moment, she nodded silently, "That's right, only a special existence like Time Dragon can reach such a level of strength without the mark of blood relatives; Otherwise, even a Dragonborn within five generations would not be able to reach such a level! ”
"Five generations?"
Ye Qi asked with curiosity in the face of the new term.
"The thickness of the bloodline, the most powerful is the first generation of dragonborns born from the hybrid blood of dragons, followed by the second and third ......generations," the bronze dragon girl explained, "and the dragonborn three generations ago were born with the strength of the solar level, and as they grow older, they will directly reach the level of 'newly' transcendent realm - especially the first and second generations, enter the transcendent realm and become legends, and there is no obstacle to the opportunity!" ”
"What generation are you a dragonborn?"
Ye Qi asked.
"Fourth generation!"
Bronze Dragon Maiden, when she said this, Ye Qi once again discovered the pride on her face - obviously, this girl has real pride in such a bloodline.
"Dragon, have you ever seen a real dragon?"
Ye Qi, who thought of something, asked directly.
"Legend has it in the depths of Dragon Island, but except for the first and second generations of dragonborns, no one should have seen it - after all, once you enter the transcendent realm, the increase in lifespan makes memories less reliable; Time, really, is a very scary thing! ”
The Bronze Dragon Maiden replied, and then, she looked at Ye Qi again, and said, "However, for a time darling like you, it doesn't exist, right?" The dullness that appeared in my body before was your time dragon breath? ”
"Well, it's not a mature app yet!"
Ye Qi nodded.
"Of course, if you don't have a blood kinship mark, how can you be familiar with the ability to use blood relatives!"
The bronze dragon girl replied as a matter of course.
Ye Qi grinned and didn't speak again—at this moment, Ye Qi still thought that the 'blood imprint' was a manifestation of 'bloodline erosion', but he couldn't refute it at all without concrete evidence.
"I think I'll go, how about a drink?"
The Bronze Dragon Maiden proposed.
"No problem, though, I don't drink!"
Ye Qi nodded, did not refuse, but reiterated - alcoholic drinks, for Ye Qi, have long been insulators, and he does not plan to break the ring at this time.
"Don't drink? Hum! ”
The bronze dragon girl was very surprised, and then snorted directly a few times - with disdain...... Or even look down on it.
"I have a feeling you've thought of something rather unreasonable!"
Ye Qi said with a raised brow.
"Just stating a fact!"
The bronze dragon girl did not panic at all, but said unusually directly; But her steps were quicker—and the hood of her cloak was pulled up again.
Looking at the other party's back, Ye Qi shrugged helplessly - the first time he met a dragonborn other than his teacher, Ye Qi had a rather extraordinary tolerance.
Of course, this is also because the other party has not touched his bottom line.
In fact, it is difficult for a being who is biased towards kindness to touch the bottom line of the witcher, even if it is chaotic - at most, it is just a matter of tying up and teaching a lesson, and nothing can happen again.
The two of them went one after the other, and soon returned to Ranzhi Town.
However, when he entered Ranzhi Town, Ye Qi was stunned - within the range of his [Blind Fighting Perception], there were fluctuations of two legendary powerhouses of the unfamiliar transcendent realm, and they were in the sandstorm bar, and along with these two fluctuations, there were more than a dozen fluctuations of the solar level with different strengths.
And in the midst of these solar-level fluctuations, a touch of fluctuation is unusually familiar.
Behemoth, Ted!
