Above the clouds as high as 10,000 meters above the ground, the brilliant sunlight shines on the world in holiness.

A dragon with a deep blue body danced and chanted among the clouds, its voice wafting through the endless space.

Cheng Lin held its fingers and claws, and put his feet on the palms covered in frost, listening to Aldington's recitation.

Immediately, he was also led across the Dusk Dragon Hall to the other side of the mountain.

It's a hillside.

The peaks split in the middle, creating a vast deep valley.

Aldington landed beside the valley, put Cheng Lin on the ground, and said:

"This is the best place to see Dragon City, if you look closely, you can see the sea."

"The sea?"

Cheng Lin repeated the word.

He walked to the edge of the ravine, looked down, and could see the wind howling underground, and the blowing clouds.

He raised his head and looked far away, and in front of him was due south, and under the thin clouds, there were endless plains and forests.

The rest of the peaks are dwarfed, and as for the city, they are only vague black spots.

"Yes, to the south, there is an ocean at the edge of the kingdom, although it is not very large, but it can always be called Shanghai, where the water is salty, and a lot of the salt of the kingdom is transported from there, since it is going to migrate, maybe it will not be long before you can see it."

Aldington folded her huge wings and sat gracefully on the edge of the valley, explaining.

"What about the other side of the sea?"

Cheng Lin guessed that the ocean mentioned by the other party was very likely to be caused by the change of the earth's crust and the deep penetration of the Bohai Bay into the mainland.

"It's land, we call it the Southern Continent, the explorers in the tribe have left records, and the edge of the Southern Continent is also the ocean, no matter how far away it is, I don't know, after all, ...... We're not good at hunting in the ocean, and the fish are too unpalatable. ”

Aldington said disgustedly.

Cheng Lin nodded and didn't ask again.

"You can walk around here these days, but it's a pity that the bedrooms here are too big, well, compared to you, it's too big."

"It's okay."

"Just tell me if you have any requirements, and try my best to meet you." Aldington said again.

When Cheng Lin heard this, he suddenly remembered something and said:

"I really have something I might need your help with."

"Oh?"

Under the puzzled eyes of the Xuanhuang Dragon, Cheng Lin reached into his pocket, paused for a moment, and took out a strange metal badge.

This is the storage badge he earned the last time he killed Bennett.

Because of the prohibition, it was never able to be opened, and at this time, seeing the dragon beside him, Cheng Lin suddenly remembered this matter.

Aldington is clearly strong enough to use its power to lift the ban.

Although the dragon magic system is different from that of humans, it also uses "aura", and the origin should not be much different, as evidenced by the fact that the elf king was able to unlock the relics of the "Black President".

"There's a layer of power on this device, can you open it without destroying the inside?"

Cheng Lin said.

The Frost Dragon's eyes blinked, and in an instant, a pale golden light appeared, wrapped the badge, and slowly flew in front of it.

Aldington sensed for a moment, let out a soft sigh, then slowly shook his head, and said thoughtfully:

"It's strange, I can tell that this is an artifact that uses space magic, and there is a layer of 'lock' on it, which can only be opened if you master the corresponding method.

Of course, as long as the power level is much higher than the original owner, or ...... With enough research on space magic, it's safe to open it.

It's not that hard for me, it's even easy, but it's ......."

"But what?"

"But I can perceive that there is another strange power, or another rule, on top of the artifact, which ...... It's strong, it's very powerful. ”

As he spoke, Aldington's expressionless face seemed to become serious, which was rare in it:

"This power imprisons this artifact, making it impossible for me to break through its barriers, it is too strong, even the strongest Edlaide in between...... No, even if the three of us join forces, we will definitely not be able to break it, and even if we want to destroy it, we will not be able to do it. ”

After speaking, Aldington looked at Cheng Lin curiously, and seemed to be very curious about the origin of this badge.

Cheng Lin pondered.

"Another layer of power? The power that makes Aldington look up to? This is obviously absolutely impossible for Bennett to do, and even the maker of the badge, the entire Federation, cannot reach this level of power. ”

"Besides, these three-headed dragons will definitely not be weaker than the Elven King, maybe even stronger than Luo Jia, if they can't do it, then how did Luo Jia help him in the first place? According to his description, this is more likely to be the power of the deduction program. ”

Cheng Lin thought a lot in an instant.

He already knew that when he was in the deduction, the artifacts related to him would be restricted by the deduction rules, and he strictly followed certain rules.

For example, he can't get anything from this world other than memories.

It seems that the food eaten here will not fill his stomach, but will temporarily remain in his body and return to this world after the deduction is over.

The opposite is true.

In the second deduction, primitive people can learn the skill of drilling wood to make fire from Cheng Lin, because this belongs to "memory" and is not limited.

In this deduction, although Lai and the villagers tasted the seasonings brought by Cheng Lin, when the deduction is over, these seasonings will reappear in the spirit world and return to their original appearance.

This is also the experience that Cheng Lin has explored in previous deductions.

"It seems that the prohibition on the badge has also been judged to be part of the badge itself, but this judgment is a bit mysterious, strictly speaking, at most, the badge will be re-blocked after the deduction, but now it can't even be opened."

Cheng Lin shook his head and reluctantly took back the badge, since the "game" was judged like this, he didn't think about it anymore.

Returning the badge to the spirit realm, Cheng Lin turned his head to look at the giant dragon beside him, and his gaze suddenly paused for a moment on an object hanging from its wrist.

It was a metal thing, shiny.

One end is very thin, and the other end gradually expands, like a baseball bat, but not that long.

It is dotted with holes.

It was too small for the dragon's size, like an ornament.

"What is this?"

"An instrument, a musical instrument that I studied myself, is very similar to a flute, isn't it? No, it's a horn, a horn that can play a diatonic scale, but I'd rather call it a flute because I don't like horns very much, it's too boring, so I named it the dragon flute. ”

Out of the dragon's reserve and pride, Aldington did not delve further into the insignia, but took off the dragon flute and played with it with his dexterous fingers.

Then he suddenly pressed a few fingers and put it to his mouth, which was funny, but then a burst of music sounded.

The valley then boiled.

The music is not very cheerful and frivolous, but very melodious, making people want to forget everything and run into the distance.

That music is naturally very different from the current popular aesthetics of human beings, but good music can transcend time and communicate with each other's hearts.

Cheng Lin was instantly attracted and immediately immersed in it.

Sitting beside the deep valley, looking at the boiling sea of clouds, in a trance, he seemed to see the world blurred, and the sea of clouds suddenly dispersed, revealing the mountains below.

Immediately, the mountain became translucent.

In this music, Cheng Lin saw countless dragons packing up their private collections, and countless dragon servants turning their backs on their hometowns.

Under the joint order of the "Three Heads", the entire kingdom, except for the southern territory, the rest of the dragon lords rushed to Dragon City with their subjects one after another.

It's as if a stream merges into an ocean.

Then, they mingled with the inhabitants of Dragon City to form an extremely long, extremely large procession.

The team is composed of the entire dragon clan and all the dragon servants, spread on the gray earth, very eye-catching, and an atmosphere of mourning envelops every individual.

[Mission 2 completed]

[For the next few days, you stayed in this palace, looking down on the land, and under the organization of Edlaide and the entire Dragon Court, all the tribes gathered together, carrying gold, silver, treasures, and food, and embarked on the southward journey in a wave of mourning]

[You follow them, go south together, the "recession" in the north is becoming more and more ferocious, all the dragons are in panic all day, from the dragon city to the south, the team passes through various territories, and finally, after more than ten days, arrives at the sea]

Information comes to mind.

The image in front of me went from blurry to clear.

Cheng Lin came back to his senses and found himself standing in the palm of Aldington's hand, and in front of him, there was a sea.

At this moment, the seashore was crowded with dragons and minions, and countless large ships were dragged into the sea and hoisted their sails.

At this time, it was early in the morning, and there was a vast fog on the sea, and only countless ships could be seen looming in it, and huge dragons flying in the sky.

"Further south is the Southern Continent, that is, to really leave this land."

Aldington's voice echoed in Cheng Lin's ears, it stared at the ocean, and its emotions could not be heard from the tone, there was no sadness, and there was no joy.

Turning his head slightly, avoiding the oncoming salty sea breeze, Cheng Lin thought for a while and said:

"There is a saying in my hometown, which says that people move to life, and trees move to death...... That's not what it was meant to be, but ...... It's also a good place to use it. ”

"Funny saying, can you live if you move it? I don't have much confidence, look at them, sooner or later they will all die. ”

After a pause, he seemed to sneer and said:

"Do you feel it? The magic in the air is getting weaker and weaker, Edlaide thought that the 'decline' came according to the region, but in fact it was not, the area of the 'decline' was too small before, and it was not clear to feel it, but now, it is very clear. ”

"What do you mean?" Cheng Lin asked rhetorically.

There was a delicate field model in his eyes, and in his perception, he did find that the concentration of aura around him had dropped a lot.

"The magic flows, it's like the sea."

Aldington said indifferently:

"The recession zone in the north is like a bottomless pit in this sea, constantly engulfing the seawater, and it is constantly expanding, and as it gets bigger and bigger, the height of the entire sea level will decrease, that is, even if you try to escape from this hole, as long as you are still in this sea, there will be less and less water around you."

"It's a very vivid metaphor."

Cheng Lin said.

For him, who has experienced a "Reiki revival", this is easy to understand.

"As the mana decreases, the dragon's power will become weaker and weaker, although it will not die directly, completely lose its magic power and become a puddle of dead flesh, but it will gradually weaken.

We can still fly now, and it won't be long before we have to fold our wings and save all unnecessary waste.

Then, some of us who are weak will die first, because they have too little mana stored in their bodies.

Then, it's the turn of the stronger guys.

No matter where you go, as long as you are still in this 'sea', you will inevitably die, but sooner or later.

If nothing else, Edlaide should die last, alone as the last dragon in the world. ”

Aldington's voice was cold, as if he had seen the inevitability, as if he was talking about the life and death of others.

Cheng Lin was silent, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when he suddenly felt the wind rise around him.

Aldington took him with him, and flew up in this depleting "sea", breaking through the fog and flying straight south.

Countless dragon roars rang out in the air, like horns.

Then, the wind blew countless boats into the fog until they vanished.
