All illusions and memories dissipate, and everything happens only for a moment.

Ian jumped down from the top of the Steel Dragon's Nest Mountain, followed the Cloud Gate into the inside of the Steel Dragon's Nest, and landed firmly on the ground.

Deep underground, a huge dragon's lair made of steel and stone.

If the entire steel dragon's nest is a huge crater from the outside, then from the inside, it is an unconventional space for erecting eggs.

The bottom layer of the egg is the dragon's nest itself, the wrong steel dragon is estimated to be healing in this place, the ground seems to be hard, but in fact there is a strange sense of flexibility to the touch, and on the four sides of the egg space, there are pieces of swaying metal fluorescence, bringing quite bright light to the entire steel dragon nest.

Ian raised his head, looked around the inside of the Steel Dragon's Nest, and then opened his eyes slightly—it was a thousand different inscription formations, constructed from hundreds of different sublimation materials, and the entire Steel Dragon Nest was tightly protected from the inside out.

This is the Longyou Mystery Lock...... True Dragon's Inscription Technology!

It's no wonder that neither the Empire nor the other True Dragons have ever thought of using violent means to open it...... This level of rigor would be able to self-destruct all the wealth within, if not followed—unacceptable for both humans and true dragons.

The light of the inscription came from all directions, making Ian, who was standing in the center of the dragon's lair, lose his shadow, and he looked away from the four walls to look at the "thing" in front of him, which shimmered with a faint silver light.

It is a "tinder" wrapped in silver crystal, which is inlaid in the center of the dragon's nest, releasing an incomparably clear brilliance, giving a special warmth when shining on people, as if they are in a vast crowd of people, and are surrounded by countless people to stare at.

There is no doubt that it is the "tinder" left by the pin steel dragon.

【Stenner Civilization Tinder】

[Incalculable, Important Protected Items, Inedible]

[The last spark launched by the Stena civilization at the end of the fifth cantilever of the Great Sky Lantern Galaxy before it perished.] Contains all the technological, biological, and cultural materials of the civilization. With the information in it as nutrients, the catalytic steel dragon Solstner was wrong.

[Tinder Integrity: 99.82%]

【……】

The information given by the silver chip also proves this, and Ian realizes that the fire in front of him is the center of the entire steel dragon's nest, it is not a simple information carrier, but is designed by the real dragon as the control hub of his lair.

The special staggered steel ecosystem created with the steel dragon's nest as the center may be caused by this Stena civilization fire.

Ian slowly walked over to the silver tinder, and he crouched down to touch the light.

Soft and warm light. There was a faint repulsion that pushed the boy's hand away.

"Sure enough, it feels the same as a real dragon...... The essence is exactly the same!"

Closing his eyes and slowly muttering to himself, Ian was a little surprised: "The real dragon is actually the ...... of fire"

At this moment, Ian had already comprehended all the memories he had gained from the Wrong Steel Dragon Inheritance.

Looking at it now, the mountain people inherit the inheritance of the steel dragon and become the messenger of the dragon god, I am afraid that the first stop is to come to the steel dragon's nest.

According to the concentration of the dragon's blood in the body, that is, the bloodline concentration of the "Dragonpeople" transformed by Solstner, it is determined how much knowledge in the "Stenner Civilization Tinder" can be obtained by this inheritor.

It is precisely because of this that the emissaries of the dragon gods of the past dynasties can have extremely erudite knowledge, because it is part of the elite of a civilization.

But no one can compare to Ian. Only Ian has fully received the inheritance of the Wrong Steel Dragon, and knows the essence and ancient mysteries of the true dragon.

After the Steel Dragon's Nest, the second stop should be the Pagang Holy Mountain...... There, the Dragon God Emissary will decipher the part of the fire knowledge he holds through the Shimmer Cradle System, and thoroughly know the origin and end of the life of the Cast Steel Dragon.

In the end, it is time to go to Xiahui Lake to learn the secrets of the mountain people's greatest resource source, and obtain the knowledge required by the mountain people's priests, master the Book of Silver Yao, and become the two-faced ruler of the mountain people's faith and worldliness.

And Ian coincidentally - he did it all.

He first got the Book of Silver Yao, then went to Xiahui Lake, became the Dragon God Messenger (self-proclaimed), then went to the Steel Holy Mountain, and finally came to the Steel Dragon's Nest and got it

The Mark of the Dragon God Messenger (true).

can only say that the world is really wonderful, it turns out that as long as there is a silver chip as a key prop, even the plot flow can be reversed

But......

"There are too many marks, right?"

Ian stood up, he looked at the dragon head and thorn crown coat of arms on the back of his right hand, and couldn't help but complain, "The left hand is the aether crystal, the chest is the ancient dragon heart core, the right hand is the messenger mark, and the forehead is the spirit god...... So what should I get on my back? Loyal to the country or chivalrous? ”

"Belly...... Uh, you can't get a tattoo on your belly. Hey, it's almost there, is it possible that I won't be able to get tattoos in the future? That's unsound. ”

Shaking his head vigorously, Ian threw away the imprinted image of himself in his mind.

There is no need to take away the silver flame in front of you for the time being, it is the center of the steel dragon's nest, and something may go wrong without it.

After all, the Dragon God Emissary inheritance that Ian got was essentially a small tinder, and he just had to go to the Cradle of Shimmer and analyze himself when the time came.

I'm not even in a hurry about this matter, anyway, I didn't have a laboratory to reproduce it after taking the data.

And the whole steel dragon's nest ......

Ian took a look at it and found that this was probably the "medical area" where the wrong steel dragon used to experiment and hibernate.

If Ian is injured one day, and the sacrificial fire on the side of the Holy Mountain does not have enough energy to heal, then he can come to the Steel Dragon's Lair and learn a secret method of regeneration from the True Dragon, and sleep to heal his wounds!

Ian didn't need to use it now, but the defense of the steel dragon's nest was indeed very strong, and he felt that he could transfer some of the more sensitive and precious materials here.

With the protection of the Dragon Blessing Lock, the general fourth energy level cannot cause damage to the Steel Dragon Nest, nor can it sneak into it.

"In this safe, nobody's place...... Instead, you can calm down and think about some important issues. “

There was no one anyway, so Ian simply sat down and lay down on the bottom floor of the steel dragon's nest, looking up at the door of the clouds as the entrance, the slowly swirling dark gray vortex.

The boy muttered to himself, "True Dragon...... Now it has been completely confirmed that they have a great connection with the Skyfall Ship. ”

"And, Terra is special."

As Ian guessed, a planet like Terra with God knows how many civilizational sparks converged is not a "normal standard" at all———— and judging by the conversation between the wrong steel dragon and his mentor, there are more than a thousand sparks on Tera?

A thousand!?

Thinking of this, Ian suspected that the wrong steel dragon was actually making false fingers, such as "thousands of hundreds" and "thousands of thousands...... But the dragon language is a very rigorous language, and he speaks more than a thousand.

So here's the problem.

What kind of catastrophe can make more than a thousand interstellar civilizations desperately fire outward, collected by the "creators" behind the true dragons and robes, and then gather in Terra?

No, no, no...... It should be a different question.

True dragons and their creators...... The reason why he gathered more than a thousand or more fires and came to the Terra Star Field, what exactly did he plan to do?

Judging by the dialogue of the real dragon, the creator has a 'big plan,'

But to be honest, even with Ian's unrivaled science fiction reading and the imagination of a person who had really seen the stars in his previous life, he couldn't figure out what this plan was going to do for a while.

That's a thousand tinders, in other words, the essence of a thousand interstellar civilizations......

This grand plan ended in tragedy when the creator's ship was attacked, eventually hitting the Moon of Lookout and falling on Terra.

Obviously, the creator still has enemies in the outer universe.

Thinking of this, Ian also began to feel that things were getting complicated...... But after calming down, he found that these things are actually very simple.

To put it bluntly, it's all about the "Prison Star Prison".

The True Dragon and the Creator are obviously true cosmic civilizations that will not be stopped by the Prison Star Heavenly Prison.

First of all, it is the Ancestor True Dragon.

The Archaean Dragon Ertolimu, also known as the [Ark of the Archaeus], ———— the Ancestor Dragon, which looks like a super sci-fi battleship at all, is obviously some kind of Ark mothership.

As the name suggests, the function of the pool

I'm afraid it's just as a large "initial base".

Therefore, after the Star Shattering War, the Pivotal Dragon, as the victor, was able to quickly build strongholds one by one, and create an experimental base with the accompanying second-generation True Dragon that was enough to transform the fire and create the third-generation True Dragon.

Secondly, it is common sense: the number of life in the universe is very small, and there are even fewer intelligent and self-aware beings in life, and civilization can still create civilization, and reach the interstellar age without killing itself...... It's a jewel of the universe.

It is difficult to say whether there can be a hundred interstellar civilizations in a galaxy.

Rather, it is already remarkable to be able to gather a hundred intelligent civilizations!

The creators are obviously super civilizations that can move across river systems, and that's the bottom line, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to collect more than a thousand tinder.

And the real dragon, at least the first generation of the true dragon must have some technology that can catch up with the creator's speed, otherwise, there is no way to carry so many fires and create the third generation of the real dragon.

It's hard to figure out how skilled they are, and the other civilization they're fighting with must be incredibly strong - the Prison Star Hell was definitely created by one of the two of them.

Otherwise, with the power of the Ancestor True Dragons, they would not have left this place at all when there was a crack in the Prison Star Prison, but would continue to stay in the Terra Star Field...... Is it the fear of existence beyond the Prison Star Prison? Or is it something else......

These are unknowns.

But no matter what, behind the clues related to them, there must be information related to the Prison Star Heavenly Prison.

Ian pulled his thoughts back.

He turned his head sideways to look at the silver crystal spark at his side.

The true dragon is indeed similar to Ian's guess based on the "Crystallized Dragon" - the Crystallized Dragon transforms itself into a suitable form for the local ecology, and the True Dragon reverses the local ecology into its own appearance. The former is obviously a beggar's version that lacks sufficient energy and resources, and the real dragon, a super life with a natural aether heart, can of course do more and win with nature at will.

But he didn't expect that the essence of the real dragon was actually "tinder"!

They are the "guardians, or "watchers," that the creator civilization uses to observe civilizations.

Although the wrong steel dragon himself guessed that the duty of the real dragon was to guide civilization, Ian did not dare to fully believe it.

Yes, the "Tinder Civilization Protection Agreement" in the silver chip can also show that the creator civilization is a fairly gentle existence that takes the protection of all kinds of civilizations as its own responsibility......

However, the existence of the true dragon, which can possess the force of the entire civilization, will be thrown into every civilization that is observed...... It means that the real dragon itself has some kind of duty that requires the use of "force".

This is the duty to represent the local civilization against the alien invaders, or to suppress some "wrong" civilizations as alien invaders, such as the swarms of insects labeled "savage and bloody" in the silver chip and the void breeding of "pests...... These are not very clear.

But in Terra, these "duties" may not be good.

Theoretically speaking, a fifth-level true dragon can indeed do this, and even the vast majority of civilizations that have not really stepped into the starry sky may not be able to fight against a fifth-level true dragon.

But Terra is a special place...... Not to mention the number of fifth energy levels, there are also many sparkling fires.

Therefore, the real dragon's camp "Dragon Island" probably doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't know where to start to recover it, so he can only sign an agreement with the countries of Terra, and then ......

And then it's just mixed up.

Only a small number of true dragons, for their own reasons, still walk on the earth - but they have gradually forgotten the duties of the previous generations of true dragons and gradually become a member of this land.

As for the "Sleeping Dragon's Nest" base, which is located on the edge of Terra, where the steel dragon was born......

If there are conditions, with the strength of the fourth and fifth energy levels, Ian will definitely want to go. There's definitely quite a bit of material out there about the real dragon and the creator.

"I'm getting closer to the truth."

Sitting up, Ian looked down and stared at the mark on the back of his right hand: "Skyfall, Skyfall, Dragons and Creators, and Prison - beyond the current predicament of Terra, there is also the cause of all this disaster. ”

"I don't figure it out

The reason is that even if they lead everyone to the stars again, they want to knock us back to the ground, and they can hit us back to the ground again. ”

"It's like...... Pre-epoch civilization like that. ”

The harvest of the steel dragon's nest is huge.

Standing up, Ian prepared to leave the Steel Dragon's Lair.

There are a lot of things to do next, and after sorting out the clues in Solstner's memory, he will prepare to return to the Xiahui Territory for this "mountain rebellion...... Or to say that "please steel mountain blockade" to make a finish.

With a breath, Ian turned and looked at the quietly burning fire behind him.

Everything about the Stena civilization is there.

It was sent out of desperation by a civilization, wandered in the starry sky, and then found by the true dragons, stored in the cradle, waiting to sleep and recover.

Then, after a huge upheaval, it became the cornerstone of the birth of a true dragon.

Now, it still sits quietly in the dragon's lair, waiting for revival and complete silence.

This tombstone...... Or the spark for revival. For a long time, it waited for its final end.

That's not what happened right now.

Ian no longer looks at the "past". He flew up and left the steel dragon's nest.

Beyond the Dragon's Lair.

Elder Manya saw a white figure fly out of the Cloud Gate, arcing through an arc to his side.

"How?" He asked.

The boy raised his right hand, revealing the crown sigil that had faded but could be reproduced at any time if needed.

The old man laughed.

A few minutes later, a dragon shadow descended from the sky, followed by another, even larger dragon shadow.

Theo and the King of the Mountain are here.

Ian sat on Theo's back, the King of the Mountain and the Elder of the Cliff glanced at each other, one person and one dragon nodded slightly, and then led Ian away with him.

【There will be a chance in the future】

Before taking off, the King of the Mountain turned his head sideways and said to Ian: "You have to find time to go to Dragon Island———— now that you are the orthodox heir of the steel dragon Solstner, then the relevant procedures will have to be followed]

"No problem." Ian nodded, "Exactly...... I'm also quite curious about Dragon Island. ”

The shadow of the dragon pierced the sky, slicing through the layers of clouds like scissors.

———— mouth of the Lone Flame Peak.

Roland is taking several of his dwarven brothers to survey the terrain of the future alchemy park on the flat ground of the gorge. But suddenly, he felt something in his heart and looked up at the sky.

He saw the shadow of the true dragon sweeping over the top of the mountains, and in the midst of the floating light, a stream of light visible to the naked eye stretched across the sky.

"Wow."

He sighed with emotion, the mechanical engineer knew the shadow left by Xi'o, and naturally knew that the even greater dragon shadow was the king of the mountain, an ally of his alliance leader.

According to the recent news, he knew very well that the arrival of the King of the Mountain and Theo only represented one thing.

That is the lord who has solved everything, and he is going back to his own territory!

Looking up at the dragon shadow, Roland said with envy: "I don't know when I can fly so fast......

"Airplanes are not difficult to build." The dwarven senior brother on the side muttered, and his tone was quite satisfied: "But dragon riding is a rare thing—little Roland, your lord is a bit powerful, it seems that you really are not fooling us." ”

"Of course!" Roland patted his chest and said proudly: "When have I ever deceived my own people?" It's definitely a good place to go, we can get rid of the teacher's rules and do it all!"

"Come, go on! We will strive to plan and sort out all the terrain in the gorge mouth area by next summer!"

- Xia Hui Ling.

Scott is discussing the next allocation of funds with Old Farr at the city hall, there are too many places to spend money in the territory recently, whether it is the budget for various new buildings or the budget for the overall urban infrastructure and subsequent expansion, and during the food disaster, the outside food import must not be less.

Most of the land planted in Xiahui is a variety of cash crops, and the agricultural land is scattered, and food self-sufficiency cannot be counted on in this terrain, but if you count the river plains of the Midera Autonomous Region, you can look forward to the future.

But looking forward to the future, it also requires money, and the two are discussing whether to divide an expedition team and go to the autonomous region of Midra to carve out a piece of land...... And this kind of thing must wait for the lord to decide.

It just so happened that at this moment, both of them also sensed a faint sense of oppression.

They walked out of the town hall and looked at the sky, and then they saw two dragon shadows, one large and one small, descending from the sky and landing on the side of the sea of flowers at the edge of the city.

"Looks like you're back."

Scott smiled, in recent times, because of the great victory of the Imperial Mountain People, as well as the various achievements of his lord as a dragon god messenger, the atmosphere in the entire Xiahui Territory has been much warmer - although many people know that their lord is very strong, they did not expect it to be so strong.

In Terra, there is a powerful lord, which is a good thing that everyone wants, and Scott has also saved a lot of things because of the news of one victory after another, and even many chambers of commerce that trade with the territory have taken the initiative to give discounts, and are willing to carry out long-term large-scale cooperation with the Xiahui Lord.

Compared with Scott's simple mood, Old Farr on the side just stared silently at the white shadow that separated from the dragon shadow and fell alone.

If everyone else is just happy and looking forward to having a powerful and talented lord.

What the old man felt in his heart was a pure hope.

A kind of 'unimaginable thing, turned into a real surprise.

True Dragons, Mountain People, and the Empire's Background...... The problem that had plagued the entire Ryan Territory for many years and generations of lords in the past was completely solved by this young White People Lord in just a few months.

Now, with the support of the Marquis of Batun and the background of the Empire, Ian has obtained the supreme power of the Worship of the Dragons and the mountain people.

He will no longer have any obstacles and can do whatever he wants.

The prosperity of the Xia Hui Leader is a foregone conclusion—this will become a big city, a big city enough to make a name for itself in the South Ridge and even in the Empire!

And in the future......

"Perhaps...... I can learn the truth about the hidden stars here. ”

Staring at the falling dragon shadow, the old man muttered to himself: "Perhaps, my long-term persistence, so many years of patience ......"

"Persistence for a long time...... Just to wait for him. ”

"Just to wait for this hope......"

Wish...... Extravagant vocabulary. But it's not untouchable.

Terra 774, January 1.

The first day of the new year.

Lord of Radiance, Ian Silverpeak, has returned to his realm.

This ancient land is about to open a new chapter.
