The members of the Worship of the Dragon Cult know that their very existence may cause harm to others, and they are rightfully called a cult, and they will not be rejected in any way.

But just as there are people in this world who pray to demons for power and wealth.

In the same way, there are people who join the dragon worship religion in order to gain great power.

And the dragon blood holders will never stop because of such 'evil'.

They will move forward.

"When you smile, you will always sigh when you get old."

Standing on the cliff with Ian, looking out at the lake in the distance, Elder Mancliff touched his beard, his eyes still filled with sorrow.

Judging from the fact that the old man is also the bearer of dragon blood, it is very likely that the members of the Dragon Worship Sect who created this lake are his ancestors.

He turned his head, sighing, trying to continue instructing Ian on a point about the secret technique of masking his breath.

But when Elder Manya looked at Ian and didn't notice any dragon blood aura on the other party's body, he couldn't help but be stunned for several seconds.

"Wait......"

When he reacted, the old man didn't hold back at all, and gasped: "You learned?" ”

Ian looked up blankly: "Huh? ”

He had just analyzed the principle of the Concealment Secret Method according to the technique that Elder Manya had said, and realized that this was an independent source species that had strengthened and specialized the introverted type, which operated semi-automatically with the power of dragon blood, and continuously condensed the gathered dragon blood essence on an entity 'Dragon Crystal' or 'Dragon Bone'.

He was familiar with this matter, he had mastered the technique of dissolving and recondensing multiple source species at the age of eight, and his ancient dragon heart core and ether crystals were indeed the 'dragon blood organs' of the Eight Classics, all of which were related to dragons, and they were perfectly adapted to this technique.

So he tried twice, and he succeeded twice, and succeeded in condensing a tiny crystal in his body.

And this crystal will gradually grow in size over time, which is a troublesome place.

So Ian told the old man about the problem, and he didn't know what to do with the crystal.

"Crystallization things aside, you actually learned it so quickly?! How dare you directly operate the secret method told to you by a cult member who has known you for less than a few minutes?! ”

Elder Manya was still a little incredulous, he grabbed Ian's arm and looked at it carefully.

And the young man smiled: "Elder, don't forget that I am a psionic, I can feel your emotions...... As for whether this concealment method is effective or not, I can tell at a glance. ”

"Even then, it's too risky."

The old man carefully studied Ian's expression and found that the other party was really quite dazed, and he didn't know why he was surprised: "Genius...... No wonder Master Goesai also said that you are a genius, I originally thought it was little Grant's boasting, but now it seems that it is his rare and pertinent speech. ”

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Elder Manya let out a breath as he motioned for Ian to sit on the rock, and then reached out himself to remove a crystal from his forehead where his hair had covered it.

"This is the dragon crystal. To put it bluntly, it is an element crystallization condensed by ourselves, and after taking it directly, we can instantly obtain a large amount of essentia that was suppressed in the past as a combat supply. ”

The old man showed Ian the silvery-white, gem-like crystal, and explained carefully, "It does great damage to the body and accelerates the increase of the conversion rate, but it is a rare way to fight for life in times of crisis. Because it comes from the same source as us, it can even temporarily enhance the abilities of our dragon parts. ”

"After all, we are dragon-blooded, and our physical fitness can still withstand this kind of damage, in general, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, but there is value in existence."

Speaking of this, Elder Manya paused for a moment: "You are an alchemist, and it is the same if you use it directly as an element crystallization, and you can usually save some energy costs, which can be regarded as self-produced and sold." ”

"That's right...... Unexpected goodies. ”

Although this function is a bit of a chicken for ordinary dragon blood holders, Ian is keenly aware that with the Aether Crystal, he can continuously condense excess essentia himself, and can use this 'Dragon Crystal' more efficiently!

If nothing else, he could really realize the freedom of the crystallization of the elements of alchemy—something that only a noble alchemist like Isengard could do!

What's more, even Esengard has no way to obtain high-purity elemental crystallization in the wild.

And he Ian is simple, and he can't just break it off himself.

The Elder led Ian back to the sacrificial chamber, where Anfa and Theo were waiting for them.

"Thank you for saving my life."

Ian thanked these two well-meaning acquaintances from the bottom of his heart, and without their 'righteous courage', he would not have thought of any smooth and unsuspecting way to infiltrate the Dragon Cult.

Moreover, Ian did get quite important information and skills from the Worship Dragon Cult.

The Concealment Secret Method can not only conceal dragon blood organs such as the Ancient Dragon's Heart Core and Aether Crystal, but also hide his strength, allowing Ian to better hide his second-level goblin bloodline.

Therefore, his gratitude is sincere, even a person like Xiou, who is a dragon in his body, can't hear the slightest hypocrisy.

"It's not necessary to thank me......" Hearing Ian's sincere thanks, Theo was a little uncomfortable: "I should indeed help you get rid of the tracker in the back...... Well, to be honest, I actually just want to wait until you're injured before helping you, which might seem a little bit stronger......"

"Well, I have to say I'm sorry to you......"

Saying this, he actually apologized to Ian, which made the boy even feel the slightest guilt in his heart for deceiving an innocent child.

After classifying Theo as a 'good guy who is innocent enough to be a little silly', Ian looks at the 'funny and suspicious Elven Bachelor'.

"Everyone is a companion, Ian, you are also the dragon blood on this side of Nanling, of course we are natural allies, and it is natural to help each other, so there is no need to be so grateful."

Anfa said very royal lines politely and politely.

Ian nodded slightly in his heart, this is a serious social elf, without the slightest flaw.

Because he had known Anfa and Theo for a long time, he didn't have to say hello for long, and Ian was taken by Elder Mancliff to change clothes.

"Your original armor has been shattered, and most of your clothing is broken, but fortunately, the contents are not damaged."

The Avod tribe is a tribe of mountain people who often trade with the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no shortage of clothing, and Elder Cliff took out a set of alchemist's equipment from the warehouse and asked Ian to change into it.

When the young man who had changed his outfit came out of the ashram, he smiled and praised, "That's good, the robe suits you better than the armor." ”

At this time, Ian was wearing a slate-gray hooded robe on the outside, with an alchemy belt and waist bag tied in the middle, and the hanging part only covered the knees, and the part below the knees was the military boots and trousers that were originally matched with the armor.

It's not a good match, but because of the person wearing it, it does look like a young alchemist.

"Not bad, indeed." Ian also felt a rare sense of relief - the alchemist's armor was indeed lightweight, but it was still armor in the end, and even if his physical fitness could easily bear the burden, it was still quite different from the robe cloth.

And just as Ian felt this sense of relief, Elder Mancliff reached out and pressed his hand on the young man's shoulder.

Ian looked up at the other party, but what he saw was a pair of silver-gray dragon eyes.

"Ian."

The old man said in a solemn tone, "Although I believe that with your intelligence, you can guess what I am going to say next...... But I'm going to say it officially. ”

"Would you like to join the Dragon Cult?"

Ian was a little surprised, he smiled slightly, and bowed to Elder Manya calmly and formally: "Of course. ”

"That's exactly what I wanted."

"Welcome, yet another dragon-blooded companion."

And the old man also showed a heartfelt smile, he didn't feel it, and saw Ian's slightest reluctance, so he was also happy about it: "Since that's the case, then come." ”

"Although it is not appropriate to be reasonable, you are also from Nanling, so you must know this secret."

After speaking, Elder Manya turned around and walked outside.

Ian followed, and he asked, somewhat curious and puzzled, "What's the secret?" ”

"What else do you need to say?"

The old man said lightly: "Naturally, it is the thing that made Nauman City under martial law, let Anfa and Xio run back and forth, and the king of the mountain spread his wings and soared for this." ”

"There's a secret about the Canaan Moore Branch, the 'important things' to be delivered to us!"
