Chapter 101: Now It's Really a Dragon (5700)
What happens at the door of a church is something that happens anywhere.
It is not a rare scene for human toddlers to learn to blow and force more than anyone who knows!
For a remote place like Port Harrison, ordinary children may not even be able to spell the surname of the Grant family correctly, so naturally they cannot be expected to name the sublimation except for the viscount and the bishop.
And in the end, who won......
The answer is self-explanatory.
"Now my brother is undoubtedly the strongest in Nanling!"
The surrounding children who ate melons, fish, beans and jellyfish were intimidated by Elan, who ate roasted sausages, with their natural momentum and words, and they couldn't refute it for a while.
Coupled with Ian's good reputation over the years, "other people's children, it is obvious that everyone has a feeling that he is right."
- Grass, the emperor is an alchemy master fighting disciples, and as a result, you are fighting your brother in Harrison Port?
And, Elan really doesn't stutter anymore, and the sentences are clear and smooth!
Ian felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He didn't know that Elan was a die-hard fan...... But it's not surprising if you think about it, it's normal for your brother to like yourself!
If Elan didn't brag about himself, then he would have to reflect on why his great image didn't reflect in the other party's heart!
Not to mention, what Elland says is the truth.
"Ah, brother!"
Elan, who was bragging for Ian with his friends, saw Ian walk out of the church door, his eyes lit up, and he ran over.
Ian didn't care that the other party's oily hand that had just eaten a skewer and grilled fish slapped on his waist, anyway, he was a water sublimator, and it was a thought to remove the oil.
"Good."
Ian touched his brother's head and said kindly, "Don't be so arrogant next time you discuss with your friends, even if we are the strongest in the future, we have to keep a low profile now, understand?"
"Uh-huh!"
Elan nodded earnestly in agreement, but was a little puzzled, "But I'm not arrogant. I'm just, telling the truth!"
"You don't understand that, do you?" Ian sighed and shook his head, "For genius brothers like us, stating the facts is the greatest arrogance."
"In order to keep them from too much psychological pressure, next time Elan, you lie. Put me in second or third place, and when I go to a bigger place, I will be more humble and say that we can stabilize the top eight."
"Uh-huh." Without thinking, Elan agreed, "Okay, next time I'll say brother, you're the second strongest."
"In the church, it is said that Grandpa White Mist is the first, and in other places, it is said that the viscount is the first!"
"Hmm! Not bad!"
Ian was very pleased that Elan knew this at all, but he rubbed the other party's soft white cheeks: "Very smart, Elan, then I'll test you, what if two people are present at the same time?"
"That brother is the third!"
"Good, good! My Elan is the smartest!" Ian was satisfied.
- That's how it should be! The children of their Yinfeng family should have this ability to meet people and talk to people on the spot!
"Don't teach bad boys!"
On the other side, Elder Pudde's voice rang out, and the old man who had just bought back the three coconuts looked helplessly at Ian teaching the children to lie here, "Finished talking to White Mist?"
"yes."
Putting down the hand that was rubbing Elan's face, Ian took the coconut that had made two holes and inserted the reed pipe from Elder Pud's hand, "Over there in the redwood forest, the Netherworld Order is also here. Let's move a little faster."
"Oh?" When Elder Pude heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and his brow furrowed, "They are also interested in foreseeing Futaba?"
"Nope." Ian said, he stepped forward at this moment, and led Elder Pud and Elan to the beach outside the city, "They are obviously interested in me - foreseeing Futaba is just an excuse, the Stylist Order should have foreseen something about me, but found that there was a prophet influence shielding it."
"So they sent someone to Port Harrison to inquire about the Huaiguang Church, and the Huaiguang Church couldn't confirm that I had prophetic powers, so they could only tell them to foresee the news about Futaba."
"This happens to be related to us again."
"Four Orthodox ......"
The old man took a sip of coconut water, and he said in a deep voice, "Last time you said that you wanted to gradually show your prophetic powers...... It seems that this is the opportunity."
"With the endorsement of any of the four Orthodox Christians, your abilities will not be doubted and you will not be in danger.
Ian nodded, "yes." That's why I came over to ask Bishop White Mist about his tone."
His communication with Bishop White Mist was brief, but he could hear the other party's hidden meaning.
Be. The Order of the Netherworld has detected signs of the presence of a prophet in the South Ridge...... But for no reason, why did the other party suddenly find out that there was a prophet in Nanling?
It must have been because of what happened in the South Ridge, and let them try to prophesy, but it didn't work.
To be honest, it's not arrogant, Ian feels that judging from the current situation in Nanling, the people and things that are qualified to be prophesied are basically related to him.
And the Underworld Order will try to reach the realm of prophecy...... As it happens, Ian is also involved.
(Temporary Hades?) )
Walking on the road to the coast outside the city, Ian muttered in his heart: (Obviously, the Order of the Netherworld has a prophecy method similar to the Huaiguang Church's detection of natural disasters, they should have predicted the temporary Hades that I am preparing, or some other similar technology that I don't know exactly where it is because I am a prophet.)
(And they got the prediction of Futaba's existence from various sources, and thought that it was the cause of the miscalculation, so they sent an investigation team to investigate...... And it just so happens that Elder Pud is also preparing to improve my prophetic abilities, and he is also investigating this aspect.)
(In this way, the Huaiguang Church, which already knew a lot of news, was able to confirm that I was indeed a prophet this time - what a coincidence)
However, if the Order of the Netherworld really had the means to detect such a technique as the Temporary Hades, then they would definitely know about Grand Duke Thorin's plan to kill the king.
And the Order of the Netherworld did not prevent the birth of the Dead King...... Can't stop it, or are they also the enablers behind the Dead King's technology?
It's all possible.
Ian shook his head, he didn't want to think about it for a while. In the future, the Netherworld Sect will definitely come to the door, and when the time comes, whether it will be cooperation or something else, we will talk about it later.
No matter what trick the other party makes, he just needs to wait in Xia Hui Ling.
As for now......
"Let's go find the shark shark first."
Ian took Elder Pud and Elan directly to the beach this time, just to find the shark shark and the birch, and everyone went to the South China Sea Labyrinth together.
And on the way, Ian examined Elan's body in detail.
Now, Ellan can be regarded as a half-psionic person, and with the help of the meditation method of the Huaiguang Church, Ian can even see some primordial spirit in Elan's body.
This is the advantage of psionics, they will naturally give birth to souls and enter the ranks of sublimators...... Although there are no potions, as long as there is psionic energy, you are an ascendant, and this is the iron law on Terra's side.
And Ian was also keenly aware that Elan's so-called connection with 'crystalline creatures' was not physical...... It's in terms of the soul.
What does this mean?
With this in mind, they came to a seafood breeding factory run by Bai Zhimin.
It can also be regarded as the entrance and exit of the shark shark and the green tide Scott joint, and the birch frost butterfly takes Elan out to play.
Qingchao has been waiting here for a long time.
"Boss."
Seeing Ian and the others approaching from a distance, the blue-haired swordsman stood up from the pontoon bridge along the coast, and a bright flash of light also lit up at the same time: "Oh! (Boss!) )」
"Qingshio, shark, you look very energetic."
Ian stepped straight into the sea, and a huge steel-armored shark shook
Galloped and crashed into Ian...... It was the same as Elan's previous movements, but with a little heavier, and Ian almost didn't use the power of the essentia furnace to fend off the shark's onslaught.
「...... You're growing up pretty fast."
With a sigh of relief, Ian carefully observed the current situation of the shark, and found that the other party was simply too healthy—the matte silver shell, the smooth body lines, the regular electrical crystal raised from the back, and the increasingly perfect soul structure...... It can be said that the shark shark is the healthiest and happiest monster he has seen in so many years!
This kind of health is definitely not something that can be explained by natural growth! Even if Ian used the Prophetic Vision to guide the shark shark to grow, it was nothing more than that, but he hadn't seen a shark for almost a whole year, how could the other party develop so well?
"Oh? Oh!"
Ask when you think of it, and Shark Shark, knowing Ian's doubts,
Then he used his body to twist and connect some soul links to tell the boy some information.
"You said, there is an elf who came to see you, carefully instructed you what to eat and what not to eat, and told you how to swim to exercise every corner of your body......
Ian sounded familiar, "Isn't this Master Oak? Did he really come to Nanling to see you?"
Master Oak is the leader of the elven candle bearers who came after Anfa, a friend of the Marquis of Batun, and a shark lover - he is obviously a sublimator of the wood attribute, but the heart light body is a shark, and he is a rather special third-level powerhouse.
Master Oak said that he was chasing Anfa, but in fact, he should have been sent by the Ember Lantern Family to protect Anfa's elders, and he should have noticed that Ian had contact with Anfa, and he was a person favored by the Marquis of Batun, so he also focused on Ian. And after realizing that Ian had a fairly healthy shark, he also went to the South China Sea Labyrinth and specially came to guide the growth of the shark.
"Next time I go to Canaan Moore, if I have the opportunity to meet Master Oak, I really have to thank him."
Ian took a closer look at the shark shark again, and found that Master Oak should really teach it, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The world is so big, shark shark you can be regarded as the protagonist template, in the South China Sea eating fish and hitting the boat, someone will send you cheats from the sky...... Good luck!"
"Oh!"
The shark doesn't understand what the main character template is, it just sees Ian, so it's very happy to spin around the sea.
However, in addition, Ian also noticed that the state of the shark in the silver chip also had the same tendency as Elan's crystallization and biochemistry. It is the result of the same paragraph being affected by higher crystalline organisms.
Now things get interesting...... Ian began to wonder if it was the effect of the Crystal Lake?
But it didn't matter, they were going to go there to see what was going on.
With the shark's current size and strength, and Ian's protection, it didn't take long to lead everyone to the South China Sea Labyrinth.
The dark silver giant shark sped through the increasingly vibrant coastal waters of the South China Sea, and then reached the depths of the far sea, swimming towards a hidden passage at the bottom of the ocean.
It used to be a passage used by the Crystal Dragon to enter and exit the Great Labyrinth, and it was also a shortcut to the Crystal Lake, but now it is the entrance to the shark shark's homing nest, and Ian and the others avoid the vision of others and enter the hidden passage inside the Great Labyrinth.
"It's my first time here."
Leaning on the shark's back, Elder Pud stroked his beard curiously and looked around the wonders of the deep sea—because of the cause of the great storm, the heat dissipation of the labyrinth's energy system was abnormal, and most of the earth's cores around the seabed showed a strange molten solid, looking almost like aliens, and there were regular octagonal prisms erected on the smooth seabed.
After entering the channel, the closer you get to the inner side of the crystal lake, the more obvious this regular crystallization phenomenon becomes.
The rich natural essentia and psionic field made the elder's brows furrow, and his heart was slightly shocked: "The natural essentia here is almost materialized...... No wonder
The labyrinth will cultivate an existence that is far beyond normal magical beasts such as the master of the labyrinth, and with this kind of environment, even the most ordinary tidal fish can give birth to a fish king that is almost like a dragon, right?"
"yes. Moreover, the essentia in the crystal lake is very pure, Elder, if you have time in the future, you can bring Elan here to rest and exercise."
The reason why Ian didn't recommend this place to Elder Pud and Elan before was mainly because Elder Pud was not so idle at that time, the redwood natives were defeated, and as Viscount Grant's deputy, he still had a lot of work to do, not to mention that what he needed to nourish his body was not a high-essenic environment, but a stable ordinary environment.
At that time, Elam had no formal training, and rashly entering a high-essentiate environment may cause physical dysfunction.
Just like the upper city of the imperial capital, even if ordinary people get close, it can lead to death, and although the place of Crystal Lake is not so dangerous, it can easily cause good things to turn bad.
But Elam was now able to enter the 'Tranquility, Meditation level, so the Crystal Lake was only good for him.
"I understand."
Elder Pud knew this, too, and nodded solemnly.
"When, when will we be able to have such a good environment in Xia Hui Ling."
Qingchao also sighed that for his second energy level, the environment of the crystal lake is also very superior, not only can improve the body's adaptability to essentia, but also accelerate the growth of the soul, which is beneficial and harmless, but unfortunately he is not like Elan, who will live in Port Harrison for a long time in the future, and can often come to practice.
"It's not for nothing."
Ian thought about it, but found that there really was a similar area in Xiahui Ling: the bottom of Xiahui Lake was a similar high-essem environment.
However, the bottom of the lake is too narrow, and it is not a karst cave area like the Crystal Lake, which requires diving to a depth of thousands of meters, and ordinary people can't do it at all, so it can only be used by sublimators.
When the leyline furnace is studied, it may be possible to imitate the principle of the 'ghostly engine' and create artificial high-essenti regions.
In addition to the emotion of everyone, the shark arrived at the crystal lake.
Inside the Crystal Lake, everything is the same as the last time Ian left, and the sharks take good care of it.
The shark shark sent everyone to the side shore, and Ian headed straight to Crystal Island in the middle of the lake.
He wanted to see what had happened to the crystallized dragon egg, which was suspected to be the source of the crystallization of Elan and the shark.
The Crystal Dragon Egg is located in the center of the Crystal Island, it was originally only the size of a human head, but it was catalyzed and conceived by the psionic fields around the Crystal Lake, and now it is half the size of a human being.
The whole egg looks like a huge diamond made of countless regular crystals, with thousands of facets crystal clear, absorbing all the brilliance around it, releasing a warm and pure light to the outside.
Cracks had appeared in its shell, and as the shark had said, it had hatched, but something went wrong, and the little crystal dragon did not leave the egg, but remained in this state of 'coming out'.
But its vitality has not declined, but has grown stronger over time.
Silver-blue eyes flashed.
【Aether Crystallized Dragon Egg】
[First Energy Level, Idiosyncratic Species, Cornerstone, Edible]
[Beyond the designer's expectations, one of the three eggs catalyzed by the Aether Crystal Dragon, which has reached its full form and reached its full form, with its last life]
[As the only dragon egg without defects, it should have hatched the first naturally conceived Aether Crystal Dragon normally, but because it was polluted by the hive, it had a specific change, and it had already produced a soul before it was born, and it was linked to its brothers and sisters who should have died early, resulting in indescribable changes]
[The egg has hatched, but it is still one step away from the final birth]
[Essentia: 2853.1391 base unit]
【......】
"Huh?"
Ian was a little surprised.
The anomaly of the Crystallized Dragon's egg, he had known for a long time, the pollution of the hive, or the transformation had indeed been there for a long time - as he had fought so much with the Crystallized Dragon
An old rival, to say that the hive doesn't have a way to deal with the crystallized dragon, Ian doesn't believe it.
The hive's countermeasures against the crystallized dragon can basically be called 'I can't beat you and I can't beat your cub?' - The contamination of dragon eggs by the swarm is quite direct and effective, and even if the aether crystal dragon finally purified it with its own life force, it still left an anomaly.
The two dragon eggs that were taken by Master Gosai were the two most serious anomalies.
He saw this, so he deliberately used these two dragon eggs as the mission goal, and left the intact one for Ian.
But now it seems that the connection between the crystallized dragon eggs is far beyond Ian's imagination...... This one, which seems to be intact, still has a little 'aftermath, remnants.
Of course, it doesn't have to be a hindrance.... In a sense, the introduction of superior external forces is a kind of 'evolution' for the already highly adaptable fickle group of crystalloid dragons.
"Interesting."
Ian thought of the 'three-headed crystal dragon' that appeared in the sea on the way to the insect swarm, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes: "Could it be that the three-headed crystal dragon is not my evil taste transformation, but it must be?"
"The three crystalline dragon eggs, due to the influence of the insect swarm, are essentially chained together, not three separate existences...... So the three of them have to hatch together?"
"The reason why the one in my hand is not fully hatched is because of the connection between the three dragon eggs that transcends time and space, so that it cannot fully mature before the other two dragon eggs hatch?"
It's just a guess, and Ian doesn't think it's quite right.
This does not explain the impact on sharks and Eland.
The relationship between the three dragon eggs should be simpler than he thought.
There is no point in thinking too much. Ian stepped forward directly, stretched out his hand, and touched the dragon egg.
Then he felt a sensation that bordered on cheering.
A sense of invitation.
And...... A sense of anticipation waiting for guidance.
It's like an ignorant young beast, a machine that has just been born but has no program, doesn't know how to eat, doesn't know how to breathe, so even if it is born, it can only stay in the eggshell...... Waiting for the 'Teacher' to come.
Tell how it should be.
How to be' life,.
Ian is its 'teacher,'
Its ...... [parents].
"How shall I teach you?"
Ian asked.
Then he got a response.
- A demonstration, of course.
- with another body.
At this moment, Ian felt that his spirit had been invited, which was similar to the feeling that he had used the labyrinth authority to descend on the body of Shark, the 'master of the labyrinth', and his soul suddenly had a perspective.
"Another body...... Interesting."
There was a guess in his mind, and Ian sensed it, but he didn't perceive the danger - he was immediately interested: "Okay, then try."
So he dived his consciousness into that perspective.
Then, Ian felt a blackness in front of his eyes.
And when he opened his eyes again.
Ian discovers that he has become a dragon.
