Chapter 2: The Blessing of the Dragon God
The speed of the rainbow is very fast, very, very fast.
It was so fast that Ulysses was just being held by her, and in the next blink of an eye, the two of them were on a very different sky from the end of the world.
The world under this sky is vibrant, full of ancient plants that are too big to look like they were of this era, and some prehistoric animals that have long been extinct elsewhere roam leisurely here, making people feel like they have stepped back in time.
The giant saber-toothed tiger weaved through the forest, then hurriedly dodged the mammoth's path and bit a toucan. In a matter of seconds, Ulysses saw dozens of species of plants and animals that had long since become extinct in the continent's records.
"Where is this?" Ulysses looked at the vast expanse of ground beneath his feet, and found that what he had learned from the various great libraries had been turned upside down. If a scholar who studies flora and fauna comes here, he will be ecstatic.
"Well, it seems that you humans call it the Land of Dragons, the territory of the Dragons. Strange, my intended destination is not here......" Hongguang looked around a little strangely, and then tried to activate his natural ability again.
"Whew!" this time she succeeded in activating again, and disappeared without a trace—except for not taking Ulysses with her.
Ulysses looked at the empty sky for a long time, and then realized that he was free.
"This is Agunis, the land of dragons?" Ulysses, who descended from the sky to the ground, surveyed the strange scenery around him, especially the iconic ancient plants and animals, which had previously only been seen in the illustrated books excavated from the ruins.
It seems that this is really the legendary mysterious ancient country, the oldest country on the continent inhabited by people who inherit the blood of dragons - Agunis, the land of dragons.
The history of this country predates the birth of human civilization and is a legacy of the distant dragon age. When the dragons dominated the sky and the earth, human civilization was just budding, and it was not until the later fairy era that it gradually grew. For humans, the era when dragons ruled the land was as far away as the age of mythology.
Although there are countless stories of human victories over dragons, the truth is that the vast majority of them are inferior wurms, and the real dragons have almost disappeared from the human world since the age of dragons, until the eight-headed demon dragon Caza was born, allowing humans to experience the horror of dragons again. Ninety percent of all the existing dragon-related texts are related to this demon dragon, which is the dragon that has had the greatest impact on the human world.
Compared to the rise and fall of human beings, the change of dynasties and wars that will occur in hundreds of years, the dragon country of Agunis is incredibly stable, and this stability has lasted for a long time beyond human civilization, and it seems that it will continue forever.
What's even more incredible is that humanity has never even found the true location of this country. A scholar who was invited by Agunis in the Land of Dragons wrote down the route map to the Land of the Dragon in detail, but later it turned out that the route to the Land of the Dragon was different every time. Obviously, the Dragon Country Agunis is in the northern corner of the continent, but no one can tell its exact location.
This is the legendary land of dragons, the mysterious ancient kingdom that has given birth to countless heroic bloodlines, the land of dragons, Agunis.
"It turns out that this is the case here. "Ulysses is no stranger to this country, because Angela, Sister Mira, and Lelu around him are all from this ancient country, and Arcelia seems to have inherited a certain branch of the country's bloodline.
Strange why do you feel like there's some kind of familiar smell here.
Taking a mirror out of the dark dimension, Ulysses connected to the Book Messenger in the Celestial Wilderness. This mirror is a split of the spirit mirror of the twin witches of the distant lands, and after merging with Ishtar, Ulysses opened the higher authority of the Book of Demon Kings, and will never lose contact with Aya again as he did in the past.
"Aya, are you there?"
"Master, who was you looking for this time?" Aiya on the other side of the mirror looked at the energetic Ulysses and showed a mysterious smile, a smile that you know and I understand.
"It's Ice Phoenix Mother...... Okay, I'm in Agunis in the Land of Dragons now, are you okay over there?" Ulysses hadn't been in touch with Aya for seven days because of his relationship with the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox, and he was always worried about whether they would be okay in the Heavenly Wilderness.
"Everything is going according to plan, you don't have to worry about it, the place will soon be occupied by us, look. Aya patted her small breasts, then shifted the angle of the mirror.
From the mirror, what Ulysses saw was a huge magic crystal pillar that spread all the way to the end of the horizon, as well as a terrifying sky, and Fari with her eyes closed was standing at the top of those huge magic crystal pillars, ** her feet, stretched out her hands, and spread out endless black energy.
Soon, a new black magic crystal pillar rose from the ground, adding new members to this huge magic array.
However, after feeling Ulysses' gaze, the majestic Fari suddenly changed back to her original appearance, jumped directly from the magic crystal pillar dozens of meters high, and then ran to Aya's side gasping for breath.
"Big brother, do you see? Farie is working hard......"
"Well, see, come on, Fari. Seeing the Dark Bride, who was becoming more and more successful in manipulating the Dark Grail, Ulysses couldn't help but reach out and touch Farry's head as he had done in the past.
"Hey, hey. Although it was impossible for Ulysses to really touch it through the mirror, Farri smiled happily.
"Ah, is it a dear correspondence, everybody, come on......" Miharu's cheerful voice appeared on the other side of the mirror, and then the apostolic regiment in the heavenly wilderness began to gather around.
"Big fool, when we take this place, we will go out and abuse you immediately, don't underestimate the current Mina-sama. This is the unique way of greeting a pirate girl.
"Mei ...... Are you okay? Are you sick? Yuffie looked at her lover in the mirror gently, her face full of affection.
"Little Yuna, we'll be out looking for you soon. Lana looked at Ulysses with some wistful dissatisfaction, and then some psychic force began to creep into Ulysses' eyes—but it didn't work out, of course.
............ When the mirror disappeared due to the expiration date, Ulysses had to regretfully put it away. Hyperspace communication across space barriers is quite difficult, and Aya's location is completely isolated from the real world. If it weren't for Aya's contact, he would not have been able to connect to the Apostles in another dimension.
Of course, this is only temporary, and when his understanding of space power goes further, this restriction can naturally be lifted. At present, it is possible to connect about once every three days, and the connection time is about 30 minutes.
The moment Ulysses put away the mirror, his heart suddenly moved, and then he found that the earth and sky around him began to distort due to some great force.
It was the result of the heaven and earth being filled with some great force, and a blurred image appeared in the air, a graceful female figure.
She smiled at Ulysses, then reached out and kissed Ulysses lightly on the forehead, and then disappeared without a trace in the next second.
"It's her......" Although it was only a cursory glance, Ulysses still saw the true identity of this figure. She is a mysterious hero who suddenly appeared and disappeared during the Gem Wars, the Dragon's Taxis.
Although there was a love affair between the two, Ulysses did not know the dragon girl, and she suddenly appeared in front of him, and then suddenly disappeared. But he remembered her last words vividly:
"Please come to Dragon Island and marry me, and I will prepare the dowry. ”
"Dowry ......" Ulysses touched his forehead, and noticed that the area kissed by Tuxis had a strange feeling, as if something was about to come out of there.
It wasn't a curse, it was more like some kind of blessing, and there was a stream of heat spreading in the place where he was kissed, making Ulysses feel more energetic.
"Ishtar, is it there? What is this?" Ulysses tried to ask the battle mage in his body.
"That's the blessing of the dragon, the blessing that the dragon only sends to his natal partner. If you die, she will die too. Ishtar's voice appeared in Ulysses' mind, revealing the truth about the blessing he had received.
"Blessing?" Ulysses looked at his forehead in the mirror, and then looked at it with a smile and a small jade horn growing there. Despite being less than half a centimeter in size, this is indeed the horn of the dragon.
"It's just a temporary phenomenon, and it will disappear after a while. Dragons are a powerful race that will appear in many dimensions, and this world has entered a critical point in their evolution, and they will probably soon give birth to a true dragon god. If there were no surprises, it was the dragon of chaos that kissed you just now. ”
"Could she be a dragon god?" Ulysses was a little surprised.
"That's right, she has endless possibilities and is now in the final stages of evolution. The combination of you and her allowed her to complete the transformation ahead of schedule, and it can be said that you created this dragon god. "Ishtar knows exactly what Ulysses has done in faraway lands.
"That ......" Ulysses' face flushed, and for some reason, he was a little confused when he remembered his intimacy with Taxis. Because he remembered that when he pushed her down, he seemed to feel something similar to himself in her.
It was as if there was some kind of special relationship between the two, a bond closer than a lover.
"You don't need to pay attention to her, she won't be your enemy, the power you have prepared is to face more formidable opponents. After warning Ulysses, Ishtar fell silent again.
