Chapter 206: Atlas of Dragons
Moussa Consortium Research Institute, 2nd basement.
"Let's start with a pair of horns, which are the hallmark of baby dragons, and a bunch of shiny black horns is a symbol of the baby's health and vitality. Lin Qiu touched a pair of horns on the head of Phoenix (dragon-shaped) with his index finger, and now compiled his research results on dragon monsters these days.
From time to time, the onlookers let out a sigh or two of admiration, they had only seen the Wyvern species on the illustrated book, and this was the first time they had seen such a vivid dragon.
Suspended in mid-air, Phoenix writhed uneasily, but her actions were an energetic expression in the eyes of researchers.
Phoenix's uneasiness and discomfort did not come from the crowd's onlookers, but from Lin Qiu's affectionate name of a "dragon baby", as a monster who had lived for an unknown number of years, Phoenix couldn't help but blush, so much so that she even ignored Lin Qiu's behavior of casually touching her body at the moment.
It's so fleshy.
Just listening to it made him feel ashamed, and Phoenix couldn't understand how Lin Qiu repeated this title without changing his face.
"But according to the Dragons Atlas......" In the crowd, a female researcher with long blond hair reached out and tried to raise her doubts. Judging by her clothes, she is an intern at a research institute, and the Musa consortium recruits a number of new people from all over the world or research institutes every year to fill in the researchers.
She was the only one to squeeze into the front row as an apprentice.
However, as soon as she spoke, some of the older researchers glared at her dissatisfiedly, forcing her to stop.
This is an incomparably important day for any researcher who delves into monsters, not only to see first-hand the characteristics of dragon monster cubs, but also to hear about dragon research logs from veteran researchers, an opportunity that is rare even in an underground research facility full of geniuses.
They knew that the researcher in front of them, who claimed to be Dr. Asasa, was probably one of the most knowledgeable about dragons in the world, and he accepted Dr. Tao's invitation to come all the way to show off his research results. At such an important moment, no one wants to listen to an intern.
Dragons Atlas?
The researchers scoffed. Everyone had seen the dragon atlas, but the man who compiled the book had never seen a dragon himself, and most of his research on dragons was based on folklore, and the few so-called dry goods were all one-sided data and highly personal conjectures.
If this kind of thing can be regarded as a high-value work in dragon research, then everyone is a master of dragon research.
"It's okay, you ask. Lin Qiu said.
The female intern was a little unconfident by the seniors' glare, and her voice weakened: "Dr. Agasa, it's very ...... Nice to meet you, I'm Jennifer...... Jennifer Hughes!"
"Nobody cares what your name is. ”
"Ask your question directly, even though it's of little value at all. ”
"You're wasting our time!"
Her words were quickly interrupted by the researchers, who were forgiving enough to allow the interns to attend this sacred and solemn seminar. As for allowing an ignorant newcomer to make a big fuss about her immature opinions, if it had been Dr. Asasa, they would have kicked her out long ago.
"Uh...... What I want to ask is that the four last dragons marked on the dragon atlas are Helo, the dragon of winter, Dagu, the dragon of the earth, Leorea, the dragon of flames, and Polyat, the dragon of storm...... But didn't Leorea fall a long time ago?" Jennifer asked the doubts in her heart with her head down, and after asking, she lowered her head, not daring to face the eyes of many researchers.
The four Last Dragons were common knowledge to everyone present, and it was confusing to Jennifer why none of them had asked such a question.
The timeline doesn't match at all.
If this young dragon had been born before Leorea's fall, it would have grown into a wyvern more than ten meters long after countless eras, and now Phoenix looks the size of a pillow and the size of a shortly after birth.
"And the colorful fluff that grows on its wings, and the tail feathers of birds...... These are not the characteristics of Wyverns. ”
It looks like some kind of hybrid of a bird monster and a wyvern.
The last sentence Jennifer held in her heart and did not say it.
Because once you translate it in academic terms, it is: this is a wurm.
The last dragon, like the Winter Dragon, has only four heads in the entire continent, and the fire dragon Leorea has sacrificed herself before she can create life for humanity. The flying dragon is almost extinct, but although the wurm monsters are rare, there are no less than ten kinds of them found in Herutia alone, and there is a wurm monster called Dragon Eagle in the Musa Consortium alone.
The research value of wyverns and wurms is not the same level.
"Good question. Lin Qiu nodded and looked around at everyone. Obviously, there are quite a few scholars waiting for his answer.
"She's not a pure wyvern, but she has the power of the fire dragon Leorea surging through her. ”
Lin Qiu's answer caused an uproar.
Theoretically, this possibility exists - for example, if the dragon Leorea meets some other kind of monster and gives birth to the crystallization of their love, then this possibility exists, and their offspring, although they will inherit the characteristics of their parents, are also real dragons.
"I know what you're all thinking, but she's a much more complex and advanced situation, and that's the best part of my research. ”
Hearing this, the researchers invariably held their breath, for fear that they would miss any detail.
"After the ad, come back right away. ”
Lin Qiu smiled slightly and announced.
......
Lin Qiu's words made the entire second layer complain, but even if there were many grievances in their hearts, the researchers did not dare to offend Lin Qiu easily, they forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in their hearts, and came to greet Lin Qiu with a hypocritical smile. 10 Minute Advertising ...... Oh no, the break isn't that hard, but if the research is true, it will turn all dragon research upside down.
There's nothing more shocking than bringing a young dragon to them.
This disruption not only satisfies their endless curiosity, but also has the substantial benefit that if they can join Dr. Asa in completing this project, their name will go down in the history of Holutia's scientific community, which is an opportunity they have always dreamed of.
So they had to show their best side in front of Lin Qiu.
Dr. Asasa ...... That ......"
After Lin Qiu sent off another group of researchers with a smile, he turned around and saw a timid Jennifer coming to him: "I still have a lot of questions I want to ask you......
