Chapter 210: Isengard's Life Story (3/4)
"Ah, I'm sorry, I should have told you a long time ago."
But Ian didn't think that Isengard was not sensitive to this aspect, and after he even said something apologetically, he directly began to explain to Ian: "The Eclipse Light Refining Dragon is not actually a 'dragon', but a strange semi-gaseous life that lives in thunderstorm clouds. โ
"It looks like a dark mist of water, which maintains its form with subtle currents, and sustains itself by absorbing the energy of sunlight, lightning, and gales."
The blonde boy raised a hand, and the palm of his hand flowed like that of Master Gosai, but there was a small miniature tornado, and faintly a point of light appeared and disappeared in this small tornado.
Staring at the essentia in his palm, Isengard said softly, "If it's just that, it's just an ordinary gaseous life...... However, the special thing about the Eclipse Light Dragon is that it can 'coexist' with other lifeforms...... Or 'parasitism'. โ
"The most powerful of the Eclipse Dragons will try to possess some birds and even dragons that have been in the air all year round...... Some will fail, but some will succeed, and those who succeed in being parasitic or symbiotic will become a truly complete 'Light Refining Dragon', which will strengthen the symbiote's physical fitness, enhance its ability to refine essentia, and even gain the ability to control fire, wind, and thunder. โ
"Possessed creatures will become extremely powerful, and even the most ordinary flying wing wurms can increase their energy level by about one level...... This dragon was known as the Alchemy Dragon in ancient times, because of this characteristic - it can extract the most powerful potential of possessed creatures, but it can also eat away at the life of the opponent, causing its host to die after a period of super-prime. โ
"But in reality, the Eclipse Dragon doesn't dieโit just grows bigger, splits, or has another host."
With a sigh, the blonde boy said, "It sounds very powerful, but in fact, the highest level of the Eclipse Light Refining Dragon is the fourth energy level, and no matter how much you improve, you can't break through the boundaries of the fifth energy level." โ
"Unless it's some individual gifted genius, or a seriously injured fifth-level body, or the other party takes the initiative to accept it."
- Wonderful creatures, almost like some kind of auxiliary biological weapons.
After hearing the words 'can be possessed in symbiosis', Ian couldn't help but nod slightly, looking quite interested.
Unlike other Terrans who might be afraid of the special and terrifying features of the Light Eclipse Dragon Refining Dragon, he said a little abruptly: "So, your family's etheric armament 'Gloom', in a sense, is a 'Artificial Light Eclipse Dragon Refining Biological Armor' that you have created through biotechnology and can further symbiosis with people?" โ
"Or is it a Light Refining Dragon that is completely controlled by you?"
"Well, yes, it's just artificial." Esengard confirmed Ian's speculation: "In fact, the reason why the Aether Armament is a symbol of the great nobility is because each Aether Armament is essentially the crystallization of the blood and technology that the relevant families have done their best to build. โ
"It is our man-made bloodline carrier, and it is also a test tool for the major noble families to speculate on how to make the bloodline go further."
- I see, use the ether armament, a 'physical virtual machine' that can be repeatedly modified and loaded, for experiments...... Indeed, it makes sense.
Ian nodded earnestly, and he said that it was impossible for nobles to give up the channel to increase their strength and bloodline.
Aether armament is not only the highest symbol of the family's strength, but also the condensed crystallization of core technology.
But he didn't have to worry too much about this - the silver chip could perfectly replace the function of the aether as a test subject, and even far more.
As for that elven pirate......
In Ian's mind, an elven pirate who was still curled up to the side and burst into tears came to his mind: "Isengard's blood is essentially a part of his hands and feet that he can control.
The pirate's equivalent organ was held by Isengard's hand, so it was no wonder that it was firmly contained. โ
"It's just that, if there is vigilance, even an ordinary apprentice who has just condensed the source seed will be difficult to be plotted by this method, Isengard's blood is ultimately sourceless water, and it will soon be offset by the self-essence, which is fully functioning."
"Unless it is a complete coma and shock, the essentia in the body is basically immovable."
With Isengard's narration, the true situation of the Eclipse Light Dragon Refining was gradually understood by Ian.
As a semi-gaseous and semi-phase lifeform, the most powerful thing about the Eclipse Light Refining Dragon is actually the conversion and adaptability of a variety of essentia energy - it can absorb the energy of the three lines of light, wind and thunder and control it freely, and it is one of the very few inheritances that can control the three lineages of essentia among all the true forms of bloodline.
However, unless they can reach the fourth energy level, the sublimator can choose at most one major, and the other attributes can only be used as supports.
The main line chosen by Isengard is 'fire' and the auxiliary 'wind'.
Patrick, on the other hand, is 'thunder' and 'wind'.
"Everyone felt that my uncle was not proficient in combat...... I didn't expect him to be really strong......"
Isengard whispered to himself, "What the hell is he trying to do......"
- What's this, seven or eight years ago, everyone thought that Viscount Grant was a decadent aristocrat who could only play with beautiful women and drink good wine...... It's not much worse now, it's just that it's not pretending to be decadent.
Ian didn't think it was strange that he could be recognized as a friend by Viscount Grant, and Patrick couldn't be a simple fool no matter how bad he was.
It's better to say that these two people really have similarities, they are both quite capable but they were very well hidden before, and they have the courage to act at critical moments.
"Patrick......
At this moment, Master Gosai had regained some of his strengthโhe was still too badly injured to use essentia, but he had no problem getting up and talking.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, his voice was tired, with a hint of loss: "I saw back then that he was not unintelligent, but he was just pursuing 'getting by' in everything...... He doesn't like to pay energy for things with very low returns, just like he didn't bother to continue studying after he knew that his brother, that is, Ethan's father, was an alchemy genius, because even if he studied hard, he could compare to the Marquis in alchemy, what would he gain? โ
"He doesn't have a strong desire to compete, except for the 'competitive game' between friends when he was young, and he basically doesn't pay for things that are too hard."
So the internal rivalry of the Ellen family ended quickly, because it was precisely because Patrick supported Ethan's father that the two joined forces to easily defeat all the other competitors, and the Marquis of Ellen also reciprocated, making this younger brother his right and left arm...... Or even let him nurture you. โ
"This is exactly what the Marquis identifies with this brother."
Hearing these words, Isengard hugged his knees.
He bit his lower lip and said softly, "Uncle is indeed very weak...... It's really thin. He is not obsessed with women or men, and he usually reads books and plays in addition to work...... Although his uncle has a somewhat harsh and even mean personality, and always doubts the achievements of others, he actually gives a lot of honorarium, and as long as the results are really good, he never skimps on bonuses. โ
A good guy indeed. Ian nodded slightly, it's not a matter for the boss to point fingers, the salary is in place, and the bonus is paid on time, what is this little thing?
Especially in the context of the current era of the Terra continent, such a boss is simply the dream of almost all migrant workers.
"He also remembers to give me gifts on festivals, which are not necessarily expensive, but I like them all and put a lot of effort into them."
Obviously he was seriously injured by the other party's sneak attack, but Master Gosai still gave an objective high evaluation: "As for why Patrick would want to attack Ethan, ...... to me"
He shook his head slightly: "I have a guess. โ
"It has something to do with Ethan's background."
