"We're just a bunch of poor dragons from the end of the law."

In the dark and deep hall, behind the incomparably large bronze table, Edlaide said.

Its sighs echoed through the space, as if it were hidden in an endless desolation.

Cheng Lin didn't speak, he wasn't very surprised by this.

At the beginning of the deduction, he learned that the "end method" was the main theme of the deduction, but he lacked an understanding of the details.

While Edlaide spoke, the other two dragon kings, the flame dragon Allen, and the frost dragon Aldington also walked behind the long table, lined up on the left and right.

Obviously, among the three chiefs, the Star Dragon is the leader.

Yanlong Allen's expression was serious, and his emotions were mixed with irritability that could not be concealed, like fire.

As for Aldington, he had a leisurely demeanor, which was very different from the other two dragon kings.

Its claws are slender and it is playing with a strange object, as if it were some kind of musical instrument, and it may have been used to play the music before.

At this moment, it was looking at Cheng Lin with interest, as if it was extremely curious about the brand-new species of "human".

……

"The end of the law?"

In order to continue the conversation, Cheng Lin took the initiative to ask.

"Yes," explained Edlaide, whose dark gray dragon head slowly lowered:

"Dragons thrive because of magic, in the history of dragons, it is said that in the earliest times, the magic on this continent was very weak, at that time, there were no dragons, beasts used magic in an instinctive and primitive way, and there was no civilization in the world.

I don't know how long it took, the magic elements on the continent became more and more intense, and the dragons were the first race to consciously use magic to strengthen themselves. ”

No, the first were humans...... If you don't think about the timeline...... If the earthlings don't leave this planet, you won't have a chance at all.

Cheng Lin thought in his heart.

As if caught in a memory, Edlaide continued to narrate in a low, slow tone:

"The earliest dragons weren't as big as they are today, and they didn't have much of an advantage in all life, but as our ancestors began to absorb magic and strengthen themselves, we began to have more power.

The bones, flesh, and organs have been greatly enhanced, and they have gradually surpassed all races.

And the power of magic also elevates our brains, making dragons more intelligent.

This process lasted for an unknown amount of time, until the dragons had no more natural predators, and finally took control of the land.

Then, we even began to actively use our blood to merge with other races, trying to forcibly elevate them and make them work for us.

In countless attempts, there was the Dragon Servant, and then, there was the Dragon Kingdom.

Our previous bond with the magic grew deeper and deeper until we could no longer be separated. ”

Adelaide's tone paused slightly, and then his voice sank slightly:

"But it wasn't that long ago that the world began to change."

"Change?" Cheng Lin answered.

I listened to the other person nod and say, "Yes." ”

Then, Edlaide suddenly put his right hand on the bronze table, and suddenly a multicolored light surged, wrapping the table.

After a breath, the light dissipated, and a picture scroll appeared on the long table.

Flame Dragon Allen reached out his claws and unfolded.

Cheng Lin walked up, and then with its lifting, he finally saw the content of this picture scroll clearly.

It's a map.

The texture of the hides is delineated with ink on the mountains and rivers.

Cheng Lin glanced at it, but it didn't correspond to the map of the Xia Kingdom in his mind.

He is not surprised that the way of drawing, angles, etc., will be affected, not to mention, hundreds of millions of years later, there will be changes in the earth's crust.

On the map, he saw at a glance the location of the "Dragon City" in the center, which was highlighted, with it as the center, more cities radiating in all directions.

And in addition to this, on top of this ordinary map, there is also a layer of brilliance attached.

It was a layer of aura radiance, and it would be more appropriate to call it a magical glow here.

It is mostly turquoise and covers most of the map, but at the northern end of the map, there is a large patch of color that has a dry yellow hue.

It creates a clear contrast with turquoise.

"What is this?"

Cheng Lin asked.

I heard Edlaide say in a low voice, "Magic." ”

After a pause, it continued:

"At first, the entire map was covered with the magic represented by green, and not so long ago, starting from the north, the magic began to dissipate...... Dissipated for no reason, for no reason, out of thin air, the magic that does not exist everywhere dissipates, like a withered yellow forest in autumn.

Standing in the northernmost part of the Dragon Lord's Domain, the entire territory lost its magical existence overnight, like a depleted well.

And this phenomenon is not in one place, but is expanding and spreading at a terrifying speed. ”

As Edlaide narrated, Cheng Lin saw that on this map, the yellowed area was getting bigger and bigger, like a prairie fire.

Therefore, the end of the Dharma refers to the Spirit...... Well, the disappearance of the magic? ”

Cheng Lin asked rhetorically.

"Yes, we tried to find the cause, but to no avail, we tried to reverse it, but we couldn't do it, we could only passively watch the area where the magic faded bigger and bigger." Edlaide said.

Its voice was full of exhaustion, and it was clear that it had taken a lot of effort to do so in the past few moments.

"Sounds like a terrible thing, but then what? Are you afraid of losing your magical powers? ”

Cheng Lin was slightly puzzled.

He felt that there might not just be a matter of the disappearance of the aura.

Sure enough, after hearing his inquiry, Edlaide pointed to his body and said:

"In this land, it was originally impossible to support such a huge body as ours, or rather, we have been bound to magic for too long, to the point that it cannot be separated, and once the magic is gone, we will also not be able to survive."

As it spoke, it reached out a finger claw covered with pale gray scales and tapped it lightly on the table.

A "water wave" appeared, and the map suddenly began to evolve.

The withered yellow rapidly expanded, from north to south, rapidly covering the dragon kingdom and then beyond.

After that, the map suddenly blurred and turned into a scroll, on which illusory images began to appear.

Cheng Lin looked down in surprise.

In his eyes, the scroll on the bronze table resembles a "screen", and the ever-changing image resembles a video.

in the picture.

First, the dragons living in the northern territories died violently, screaming sharply, struggling, visibly "aging", their massive bodies gradually becoming shriveled and dim, and finally falling in the mountains.

Soon, more dragons repeated the changes.

Cheng Lin saw the dragon city in the painting, saw the towering dusk dragon hall, and saw the three dragon kings burning with different colors of brilliance, and the colorful power was constantly withdrawn from their bodies, dissipated, and floated towards the boundless universe.

In the end, Rao is powerful dragon king also died in the main hall, and all that was left was corrupt flesh and dry bones.

As for the more numerous dragon servants scattered throughout the vast kingdom, they also died quickly due to the withdrawal of magical power.

Soon, the thriving dragon civilization was completely reduced to dust, and there was no life left.

At this point, the scroll is scattered and retransformed into a map.

……

After Cheng Lin finished reading, he fell silent, and he probably guessed the cause of the dragons' deaths.

As we all know, based on basic physical knowledge, a body that is too large cannot exist on land under the condition that the gravitational pull of the earth does not change.

The weight of flesh alone can compress bones and organs, and oxygen concentration is also an important factor.

In Cheng Lin's perception, although the oxygen concentration in this era is high, it is not outrageous.

The gravitational force has not changed much.

Theoretically, there is no life as large as the three dragon kings in front of you on land.

And the reason why they can live is obviously related to magic.

All dragons are bound to the depth of magic.

The decline of mana is comparable to the loss of oxygen by humans...... Thinking about this, he instantly understood why Adelaide's tone was so heavy.

"I want to ...... I see, but I don't have the power to solve this problem. ”

Cheng Lin looked at the other party and said frankly.

After saying that, he added in his heart: if the deduction program is going to help, that's a different matter.

The three dragon kings didn't show any disappointment, and it was clear that they had been prepared for this.

"In fact, after countless attempts, we've prepared for the worst, and we're not delusional, and you can fix it," Edlaide said. ”

"So what are you looking for me to do?"

Cheng Lin asked rhetorically.

He wanted to ask how the other party knew about his existence, but he believed that the other party should say it himself.

"Because of the revelation."

Edlaide suddenly raised his dragon's head and looked at a window in the main hall, from which sunlight cast in, illuminating a stone pillar hundreds of meters high.

"As the most profound study of fate among the dragons, after discovering that this crisis could not be reversed, I had to turn my eyes to the mysterious, supreme power and try to find a turning point from the stars."

Cheng Lin listened to the other party's narration quietly, and suddenly his heart moved.

Inexplicably, he remembered that the last time he deduced, Shi Shengcun had tried to deduce a glimmer of life, and got some inspiration from it, so he blew himself up and forcibly embodied the space door.

The two, in a way, are very similar.

"As you just saw, the picture of the evolution on this scroll is my use of magic, trying to deduce the future, and the result is obvious."

Edlaide was in a low tone, he lowered his head, looked at Cheng Lin again, and said:

"And you are the only revelation that fate has given me, and we don't know where you came from...... Oh, from the Dragonlord Grad's report, you claim to be from another continent, a place we don't know.

However, in my perception, this statement is both true and false.

You should be from a land we can't reach, but it doesn't seem to be this world, and your real name isn't Ezreal. ”

After listening to these words.

The three dragon eyes gathered together.

Cheng Lin looked at each other for a moment with the three mythical creatures, and finally smiled softly and said:

"Now, I'm a little curious about what you call fate."
