Chapter 1136: The Path of Atavism
After this period of recuperation, the injuries that fell after the battle with Starck have basically healed, and the source force has also improved by a few points. Writing, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info But these are not the main things, since the first encounter with the will of the original ancestors, Eren has felt that he is quietly changing. The change was subtle, almost imperceptible, but it was determined to change his body. It's just that in the past, Alan could only feel it roughly, but this time, when he sensed his body, he found some obvious changes.
The Dao veins in his body had a fine glowing pattern at some point, and those lines would light up when the source power surged through the blood. Alan could feel that they cushioned the impact of the source force as it passed, and strengthened the blood vessels. In this way, when Eren fights with all his might, it will minimize the burden of the source force on the body. In addition to this, there are subtle changes in his bones.
There are more fine red crystal chips between the bones, which increase the strength of the bones and have the ability to absorb energy. When the source power in Allen's body surges, a very small part of the source power will be absorbed by these crystal chips. Alan was surprised, it was a sign that his body was transforming. But usually, the opportunity for life to usher in transformation often occurs after crossing the level 30 mark.
Now, Allen's body has begun to evolve. Obviously, it had something to do with what happened to him in the depths of his consciousness. Eren still remembered that after absorbing all the energy of the fire source force in that valley, his body had undergone a noticeable change. The dark red skin, the lava-like armor, and the burning flames!
Everything is still vivid.
He opened his eyes suddenly, his heart pounding. Alan vaguely guessed what had happened to him, he was on the way to his ancestors. Exploring the world in the depths of consciousness, looking for the will of the ancestors at the end of the world, is itself a way to trace the origin of the ancestors. He was sure that every time he took a step deeper into that world, he would get closer to the end of the origin of life. And the ancient factor will constantly overlap with him at the genetic level. Eventually, Eren will transform into the life form he had in the world of consciousness, and by that time, he will no longer be able to call him human.
He shook his head, going back to his ancestors is another option after level 30, and it's not that no one chooses to become an ancestor. It's just that Allen's path started faster than others, and it seemed that he couldn't choose, intentionally or unintentionally, he had already embarked on this road. In that case, he didn't think much about it. Whether it is the ruler or the ancestor, it means that they will gradually break away from the original life form, so which path to choose is actually the same.
He walked out of the stone house.
Beyond the stone house, there is a street leading to the temple. Tallinn Aisha has now regained its calm, the Ice Wind that once occupied this place has been slain by Alan, and the cavemen have been buried under the Flame City of Marquis Peel, at least most of the cavemen are no longer able to return to the dungeon. There are still small troglodytes in the depths of the city, but they are no longer a threat to Allen.
Several braziers flickered in the streets, and Alan saw Solo and Julian talking something. It was Elizabeth's guide for them, and Thorin not only brought the plan of the Grand Duke of Tsutaka, but also brought Edward and the others who had stayed in the Flame Castle before. Now it's just a matter of taking the rest of the Steelblade Warriors and leaving Aisha in Tallinn, and the party will head to Tiger Shark Harbor, where Elizabeth has prepared a merchant ship for them. They will use it as a cover and return to Ark Harbor in the south by water.
Solo saw Eren and bowed gracefully
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page). Alan nodded, this man has a very good upbringing, from the side branch of the Bolin family, Suolin, with long pale blonde hair and handsome facial features, he is tall and agile, in addition to being proficient in archery and swordsmanship, he also has a knowledge of history and poetry. With him, Julian will not feel lonely on the journey, because Solin can always tell interesting and meaningful stories to the prince.
The braziers on both sides of the street were surrounded by people in twos and threes, including Allen's soldiers and blacksmiths from Dragonlance Town. They warmed themselves around the brazier, it was already the early summer season, and the temperature was rising. However, Tallinn Aisha is still cold, not only because the city is in the heart of the mountain, but also because of the icy veins below, which is cold as winter all year round. Naturally, it doesn't matter much to a strong person like Allen, but others need to wear thick winter clothes and bake the fire to keep warm. Thankfully, they didn't have to stay here long, and the people of Dragonlance were used to living as they were, and the chill was nothing to them, and the blacksmiths drank heavily and joked with the soldiers that only men knew.
Alan saw Nebbert, the former prime minister now warming himself by the brazier like an ordinary old man. He was smoking a pipe in his mouth, reading a book by the light of the fire, and the Prime Minister's expression was calm, which made Alan admire his state of mind very much. You must know that now Hausen has accused them of treason, Julian is the murderer of Targario, Nebot has been banned from the prime minister's office, and Allen has lost the title of earl. Hausen also threatens to take back all of Allen's territories in the south, but the discerning knows that this is impossible if Elizabeth and Hoymo are dead.
During the journey, Alan heard news one after another.
Grand Duke Tsutaka and more than a dozen nobles, including Huo Yi, jointly issued a statement, declaring that Julian was the legitimate heir to the throne, and that Hausen was just a shameful thief. He seized the throne when Julian returned to Ollista in time for the end of the year, as House Boleyn was one of the oldest families in the empire and had been loyal to the royal family for generations. Today such a voice from Elizabeth's mouth is a huge blow to Hausen.
Whether Elizabeth's words are true or not, it means that there are already intractable scars between the imperial family and the wealthy nobility. In such a situation, most of the local lords maintained a neutral attitude, so it was difficult for Haosen's voice to reach the south.
"Are you okay? My lord? Alan crouched down by the brazier, reaching out and scooping a flame out of the brazier and pressing it into Nebert's extinguished pipe. Nebot smiled, wrinkles casting shadows on his face, and he smoked his pipe, and the tobacco inside lit again.
Nebot spat out a smoke ring: "I'm not bad, the misty grass given by Lord Nightshadow is really superb, and with it as a companion on the journey, I feel as comfortable as at home." Aside from the fact that it's a little colder, I'm fine. ”
"I'm relieved to hear you say that, and tomorrow we will leave Tallinn Aisha. When I get to the south, I have a place I'd like to take the adults to see. I bet you'll love it there. Alan had in mind the Light of Glory, a scholarly figure like Nebot who would love to stay in that academy. It would be even better if the Prime Minister was willing to deign to offer one or two courses.
Nebot knocked the ash off his pipe and said with a smile: "Lord Allen is really good at selling off, and when I hear you say this, I can't wait to fly south with my wings on my back." ”
"Don't worry, that place won't let you
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) you are disappointed. ”
Alan said hello to the blacksmiths from Dragonlance Town nearby, these people have good craftsmanship, and it would be a shame to lose them in Dragonlance Town. Eren simply took them to the South, where his weapons workshop was very short of people.
When you walk into a room, there is a brazier in the corner of the room, and the temperature in the room is not too cold. There were bottles and cans scattered on the floor, and there was a thick layer of dust on them. An open space was cleared in the middle of the room, and a simple table was made out of a few stones and a wooden plank. Edward spread out a map of the empire on this makeshift table, pressed with stones on all sides, and the Malitan was looking at the map, but did not forget to say, "You are finally here." ”
Alan shrugged, since he had joined Edward, he had felt that something had not been quite right with this Malitan along the way. He had been looking for an opportunity to ask Edward, but there was no right time on the journey until this moment. He walked over, and Edward turned to look at him, "You don't look like you've looked the same as before......"
"Of course, I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm already on the path of atavism."
Edward was surprised, "You don't even have level thirty. ”
"Obviously, but I know my own situation best." Alan waved his hand: "Let's talk about you, what's wrong with you Edward, I always feel that you are a little absent-minded along the way." ”
"I'm still thinking you're going to wait until you get back south to ask me this question." Edward nodded, "That's right, one thing is bothering me and making it impossible for me to concentrate. ”
"If you will......" Alan said tentatively.
Edward threw out a completely unrelated question: "Lord Alan, how old do you think I am?" ”
"You?" Alan frowned, maybe he had been ignored before, but now listening to Edward's special question, Alan suddenly noticed that Edward's appearance didn't seem to have changed. Alan himself has grown up rapidly over the years, and now he has long lost the immaturity of a teenager. The only difference is that he now tries to choose more stable clothes to wear, but no matter how closely he looks at it, his eyebrows are still the same slave boy he was back then.
Eren then exclaimed softly, "You have hardly changed. ...... days"
"The life span of the Malitan is longer than most lifespans, especially for you humans, a short-lived species, and a hundred years is a long time for you humans. But for us, it's just a sign of adulthood. As you can see, I'm still a teenager, but in fact, Mr. Horn is probably a little younger than I am. ”
Alan looked at Edward in disbelief, and the latter shrugged, "I didn't want to tell you this, I just didn't want to see you like that. Didn't you keep asking me what I was through? Then I can tell you right now that for the first fifty years of my life, I lived in darkness. I was a kid when our planet collapsed. I was lucky enough to escape, but I soon realized that I wasn't lucky to be alive. ”
"Because everybody I met wanted to take me back as a slave or as a toy, and it wasn't a very pleasant time. I have seen a lot of darkness, far more than all the darkness you see now combined......"
