Ian's screams still echoed in the air, refusing to disperse for a long time. The tentacles that suddenly burst out of the water were five or six meters high, stagnant in mid-air, and there were frozen water droplets next to them, like a silent oil painting.
But Ian knew it wasn't a painting, it was a fact. Tim's expression was enough to say it all, and that look of horror and despair froze in this still time.
Ian didn't understand what was happening until a male voice came from behind him.
"This is death. ”
Ian jerked his head back to find Tony standing behind him, looking sadly ahead. Ian instantly understood what was going on, and yelled at Tony angrily, "You did it, did you do it?"
"I didn't do it. "You should know in your heart that I'm just slowing you down a little bit like I did before." ”
"Slowed down a bit?"
"Well, just a little bit of a slowdown. "No one can make time stand still, just slow it down." As you can see, the tentacle that symbolizes death has not completely stopped, it is still slapping towards the boat little by little. Originally, your friend would die in a second, but we extended this second indefinitely, but there is a limit, and your friend will still die. ”
Ian sat down on the ground with his head in his hands, his shoulders trembling slightly.
"Why are you doing this?" asked Ian, hoarsely.
"No, I didn't do it. "It's you, you're the Iliad." ”
"I don't understand. ”
"The Iliad is called a god because it has something that humans don't have, and that is time and space. "For example, right now, you can slow down reality, which is the power of time, and you can talk to me who is long dead, and this is the power of space." ”
"Time, space?" Ian muttered as he looked up, then suddenly realized something, and sprang up from the ground, "In that case, I can save them by rushing over now?"
With that, Ian walked forward, ready to enter the water.
"You can't do it. Tony said lightly.
Ian froze, then turned his head and looked at him angrily, "Why?"
"You can influence time and space, and it's just you. "But they're out of your influence, so you can't save them." ”
Ian lowered his hands again in despair: "That means I can't do anything, I can only watch them die?"
"Every human being has had the illusion of being able to overcome death. Tony whispered, "But death is unchallengeable, no matter who you are. Even if you are an Iliad, you can only watch at the moment, watching the flowers of death bloom. ”
"Why are you talking to me about this?"
"Because I'm going to save you. ”
"Help me?"
"That's right, save you. Tony said, "I mentioned to you before that there was a brute who wanted to steal the dragon king's power. ”
"Isn't that a king snake?"
"If you're referring to the little snake out there, you're wrong. Tony shook his head slowly, "It's just a venomous snake that has lived for a long time, and it has become a little more powerful under the nourishment of the power of Nartima. ”
"I don't understand. ”
"Two hundred years ago, we landed on this island and discovered Atlantis at the same time. "Of course, we also discovered the soon-to-awaken Dragon King of the Sea, Nartimis. It's not the one on the island, it's dead, and if you know how the dragonlord's power is transmitted, it should all be easy to explain. ”
"I know. Ian nodded, when he was in the alchemy city of Alder, the city lord Arnold once said, he thought about it for a moment, and then repeated it, "The dragon king lays an egg before he dies, and then swallows the egg into his mouth. A hundred years after the death of the dragon king, the new dragon king will break out of the egg and drill out of the mouth of the previous dragon king to complete the handover. ”
"That's right. Tony nodded, "But do you know why the new dragon king came out of the mouth of the old one?"
Ian shook his head, he hadn't thought about it yet.
"Because the mouth of the dragon king is the outlet of strength. Tony said, "It was from the dragon king's mouth that the dragon flame squirted. And the new dragon king needs to stay in the mouth of the old dragon king for a hundred years, just to get its power. Waiting until the moment when the new dragon king breaks out of his egg and crawls out of the mouth of the old dragon king, it can be regarded as a perfect handover of power. After that, the body of the old dragon king will slowly decay, and finally decay to the point that only a dragon bone remains. The new dragon king, on the other hand, grows hard dragon scales and sharp dragon claws. ”
Hearing Tonny's words, Ian couldn't help but be startled, and then turned his head sharply to look at the island. The body of Nartimis curled up on the island is not rotting, so does that mean that the new dragon king is still in its mouth?
"You guessed it right, the new generation of Nartymis is still in the mouths of the older generation. Tony nodded slightly, "Originally, two hundred years ago, a new generation of Nartimis was about to be born. But we stopped it, and it was as simple as sealing its mouth. ”
"Shut its mouth?" Ian was stunned, so that could prevent the birth of a dragon king?
Tony shrugged, "You don't believe me can't help it, but that's the way it is." It only needs to seal the mouth of the previous Nartimis and cannot drill out of the previous generation of dragon kings, but it is actually very weak because it can only get the power of the previous generation completely because it can only get the power of the previous generation out of it, and before it again, it is an incomparably weak reptile. ”
"Then why don't you leave with its mouth shut?" Ian said, confused, "As far as I know, some of you are still on this island. ”
Ian noticed that the moment he asked the question, a desperate sadness flashed in Tony's eyes.
"We can't just leave. "Because if we leave it alone, a new generation of Nartymis will come out." We are well aware of the power of the Dragon King, and when it grows up, it will definitely be desperate to cross the ocean, and it will be a disaster for everyone at that time. ”
Ian finally understood, "So you guys stayed, why?"
"We have to keep its mouth shut. Tony looked at Ian, "Generation after generation, locked up Nartimis to death. ”
