Andor, an elven pirate from Canaan Moor, feels possessed by a god of luck and despair at the same time.

A year ago, he was asked by a big client from the Empire to attack a target, something that every pirate would do, after all, how much money can be made to rob merchant ships? It's nothing more than a brush up on fame, and those big people who need black gloves are the real financiers.

What's more, this customer is very stable, and he even arranged a set of armor as insurance, compared to those mentally handicapped customers who can't give the enemy's information completely, it is simply 120,000 intimate.

Andor considers this a blessing, and it is rare for such a considerate large customer to be found.

But who knows, they actually overturned, and the strength and luck of their opponents are excellent, especially the young man of the white people...... It's simply a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years, or even a thousand years!

For the first time, Andor saw that someone could control it to defeat a second-level demonic beast for the first time in an armor, and it was as smooth as if it had been rehearsed from beginning to end, and the total duration was no more than ten minutes.

Even if that monster is in the sea where he is not suitable to exert his strength, this kind of record can be called a trump card.

Encountering a genius of this level, Andor was convinced, and he kicked his legs and planned to die.

Anyway, pirates, who doesn't overturn? In Eternal Silence, only the luckiest pirates can live a little longer, and strength is never the main factor.

After all, wasn't the last Pirate King's Black Storm missing because he encountered a passing fourth-level sea dragon? The fact that the third energy level can encounter this kind of is enough to prove that luck is far more important than strength.

At this point, he was undoubtedly hopeless.

But in desperation, Andor was actually spared his life because he saved the young ironclad shark companion of the White People...... I was even lucky enough to watch their final battle with the hive and survive as the ultimate victor!

This is indeed lucky.

But then, it was the beginning of this round of bad luck.

Andor, who was brought from the port to the imperial capital by Master Gosser, has been staying in a prison for special prisoners.

In prison, he endured several rounds of interrogations, including those of the Imperial Authorities, the Eren family, unknown persons (Andor guessed another great nobleman), and Master Gosse.

He didn't tell the truth honestly, but gritted his teeth, and just insisted on the argument that he shared the hardships with Ian Esengard and others, and finally got out of the great labyrinth.

As for Patrick?

He? Who?

I don't know, I never knew who my employer was!

Other, you ask? Just kidding, how could we Canaan-Moorish pirates recognize you imperial nobles, we can't even read the names of our elven councilors!

His attitude, apparently, made everyone very satisfied.

Obviously, no one wants the truth.

In this regard, Andor complained in his heart...... What are you kidding, do you really think he's stupid! He wants to tell the truth, even if the empire doesn't execute him, the Eren family can't keep himself!

And as Andor thought, when Master Gosai came to the prison and knew that he was still alive, he said nonchalantly, "It's okay, not stupid." He was then removed from prison.

Immediately after that, the distribution came to this place.

Sent to the Imperial Fog Yarn Port, Labyrinth Breeding Center, as a D-class personnel, take care of the 'Zhanhai Crystallized Dragon Dragon Egg' taken out of the labyrinth by Master Gosai and his party.

What are D-class personnel?

To put it simply, it's consumables.

The Labyrinth Breeding Center is the most successful example of the 'Labyrinth Transformation Plan' first implemented by the Empire decades ago, this sea labyrinth originally bred a large number of sea monsters, and after being captured and developed by the Empire, it became the largest monster breeding ground in the Empire by virtue of its natural psionic field and natural essentia convergence ability.

Here, there are Warcraft from the first level to the fourth level, each of which has different breeding and control methods, and each Warcraft can bring different benefits to the Empire.

theirs

Conception, birth, growth and final harvest are all firmly controlled by the empire, constituting a huge ecological cycle.

But because it's a monster, not every control method will work.

They evolve, adapt, or mutate, causing their old methods to fail...... There is no doubt that this will cause extremely serious casualties.

Therefore, most of the people at the bottom are death row prisoners, people who have lost their human rights, and others who have lost their names and themselves.

Their task is to assist professionals in taking close care of these bred monsters, or to become food for them.

No one will treat them as human beings, at most they are useful tools.

Andor became one of them, and this was undoubtedly the most desperate situation...... If the pirates of the Eternal Silence are trying their luck to survive every day, then here they are waiting for the countdown to death every day.

And the only way to survive is to make a little merit in the breeding plant.

If Andor can be recognized by the Labyrinth's farmland, he can return to his free body, which is the agreement that Master Gosai made with him.

At the same time, it is also the last mercy of the Empire to all D-class personnel, the means of controlling them.

Andor remembers that when he first entered the farm, he was still pregnant, 'Maybe these dragon eggs are about to hatch, right?' , of rejoicing.

But who knows, as the days go by, the time passes month by month, and the dragon egg is still unmoving.

Yes, they are gradually absorbing the essentia from the surrounding area...... But what's the use of getting bigger if you don't break the shell!

Time is about to pass a year, Andor is almost desperate, if the dragon eggs do not hatch this year, then the possibility of hatching in the future is very small, not only that, as the person in charge of this batch of dragon eggs, if the breeding place declares that the hatching failed, then he will be executed, and thrown to make cheap fish feed for those knife tooth fish next to him!

This is also the reason why Andor was so excited when he heard that the Crystallized Dragon Dragon egg had hatched.

"Hope is real, hope is real......

With this sentence in his mouth, Andor made his way through the various automatic outposts - there were very few human operators inside the farm, most of them were automated alchemy machines, and the Empire used many cutting-edge technologies here that were still being tested.

Here, there are no human favors or omissions, and all procedures are carried out according to the most rigid order, as if they were the laws of nature.

Even, the Warcraft in the breeding ground will really regard many of the rules in the breeding area as a 'natural phenomenon', and adapt to it, and then cultivate many habits and new abilities that the Warcraft in the outside world does not have.

When he saw this scene, Andor felt a little sudden in his heart, and he probably understood why the labyrinth gave birth to a 'labyrinth' species that were so different from the outside world.

But now was not the time to sigh, and soon, Andor came to the dragon egg hatchery he was in charge of.

The dragon egg hatchery is located underground in the essena flow field

It's also strange to say, it's obviously the egg of the fourth-level demonic beast, but the only person who takes care of it is himself who is an elven pirate who has made meritorious contributions......

Andor had speculated before, could it be that he was softly killed? These two dragon eggs couldn't hatch from the beginning, and Master Gosai just wanted to use the rules of the breeding place to press himself to death in this hellish place?

It's not impossible - that old man has a good face and a bad heart, and only shows kindness to those he admires!

Only now that the dragon eggs hatch, these speculations have become meaningless.

With excitement, the elf with dark green hair raised his head and looked into the glass room.

Then he froze in place.

What a beautiful creature appeared before him?

Draped in pale cyan crystalline scales, the young dragon rests quietly on a snow-white goose down cushion, its slender body has some translucent texture at first, but with the passage of time and the nutritional replenishment of the eggshell, it gradually becomes as deep and opaque as the sea.

The young dragon seemed to notice it too

When he arrived, it wagged its tail and turned its head, and three pairs of dragon pupils locked onto the familiar man in front of it, and the iris under its eyelids swirled with complex lines like a prism, as if it could see through him in an instant.

The newborn Crystalloid Dragon, like its mother, appears to be a sea serpent with horns and claws.

However, compared to the Sea Serpent Demon Beast of the same size, it is more slender and flexible, and the scales on its body that look like jade are actually sharp enough to chop steel.

Especially those three pairs of eyes, just like people, looking at themselves with an intriguing attitude.

Andor stiffened for a moment, and at this moment, he had a strange feeling that the young dragon in front of him was not a real young dragon at all, but some extremely dangerous and terrifying demon was reborn through it!

And the cultivator who rushed over like this is undoubtedly the first unlucky victim as described in all horror Warcraft stories!

"Fuck, how could it be! How could I be scared by a little dragon?!"

Andor roared in his heart, cheering himself on, and then immediately turned around and ran away without hesitation.

- What are you kidding, who is he? He's a man who can survive that kind of situation in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea! What should be known and what should not be known, what can and cannot be seen, and what he does not understand?

This instinct is beginning to warn of the situation, he Andor must not be left alone, he must find other D-class personnel or the person in charge of this cultivation greenhouse, and everyone will come together, so that he can avoid all possible dangers!

I have to say that if what happened in the hatchery was really a 'thousand-year-old monster borrowed from rebirth, then he could really survive if he ran directly.

Unfortunately, it's not.

【Andor】

A calm voice sounded in the heart of the elven pirate: [Stop]

As if the law was uttered, Andor's body stopped the moment the voice sounded.

Then, with a look of disbelief, the pirate captain turned his head and looked at the glass room behind him.

[Yes, that's me]

The little dragon lazily restrained himself even more, but the voice sounded in Andor's heart without interruption: [Do you remember who I am? Andor]

「...... Ian?"

Almost trembling as he uttered the name, Andor swallowed, a little incredulous, "You, you're dead?!"

Ian, who was controlling the young dragon, flicked the tip of his tail imperceptibly, and if it were a human, he probably raised his eyebrows: [Not dead. Your mind is too jumpy, I don't need to die to possess this little dragon, and this is not a horror story, this is a special psionic skill]

He was able to completely follow Andor's jumping train of thought, and even made a prejudgment on the other party's thoughts.

So, Ian said softly, "Even, I can see that your situation is quite bad...... Obviously, you need help]

[Come here, I have something to ask you]

Andolth thought about it, and felt that he might not have the right to refuse—no matter what means Ian used to possess the little snake, he had no evidence of that.

Ian can come and go, and if he wants to live, he must protect this crystalline dragon dragon, if there is a small dragon anomaly, no matter what the outcome, his death will come quickly.

Not to mention the relationship between Ian and Master Gosai, it only takes one sentence to pull him out of the farm, or ...... Sink into the sea of tranquility.

The most important characteristic of a smart person is that he does not care about things that he should not care about, and only focuses on the current situation.

Thinking of this, the elven pirate simply turned around neatly, rushed to the front of the cultivation room, almost knelt down at the door, and said with great sincerity and respect, "What do you command?"

[Very good, very good]

Xiaolong nodded with satisfaction: [You are a smart person, so I won't say much]

[Tell me, where is this?] 】

[What is your situation now, and if you want to improve, how do you need to cooperate?] 】

[Finally, can you get in touch with Master Gosai?] 】

All three questions were simple and clear, and Andor replied quickly and fluently, "This is a breeding base of the Sattar Empire around the Quiet Sea, roughly north of the Fog Yarn Harbor, I'm not sure, I was sent here by the five senses, presumably through the direction of the wind and the whirlpool."

"I'm a D-class member of the Fog Yarn Harbor now, I have no human rights, and I may be requisitioned and die at any time to deal with some troublesome issues, probably because of the fact that Master Gosai sent me, I haven't been requisitioned yet, but if the crystallized dragon egg doesn't hatch again, I guess it will be abandoned in a whole year."

"But, you...... Well, anyway, this young dragon hatches, and there is a high probability that I can get rid of this identity and become a relatively stable grassroots cultivator."

"In the end, I can't reach out to Master Gosai, he will come to me for something, but only rarely...... But the dragon egg is hatching, and he will definitely contact me this time soon!"

[Hmm]

Ian nodded thoughtfully.

As Andor thought, he was not afraid of the other party saying that he could possess the baby dragon - not to mention whether the others would believe it, and even if they did, they would not be able to catch the evidence that Ian specifically possessed the dragon.

Andor wasn't stupid, he had just lost his temper because he was too cautious, in fact, when he answered, he had already figured out what the situation was now: the reason why Ian possessed this body, whether it was a mysterious event or a psychic ability, must have a purpose.

The young dragon's body can do too few things, he needs an auxiliary helper, and as an acquaintance and a weaker person who can control life and death, he is an excellent assistant to the other party in the breeding field.

In the end, Master Gosai's question is to hint to Andor and tell him that Ian is always capable of lifting him out of the sea of misery with the power of a higher level, or sinking into hell...... But as long as he Andor behaves well, then this young man of Bai Zhimin, who has already let him go once, doesn't mind letting him live again.

The premise is that he cooperates.

And Andor is more than a cooperation - he is simply going to kneel and lick!

"My lord, do you want to breathe?"

Now that he realizes that Ian is his nobleman and not a rusher, Andor's tone immediately changes from fear to flattery—a snob that proves his absolute cooperation.

And Ian naturally won't refuse: [In my current status as a young dragon, to the extent that I can, try to take me to see the surrounding situation]

The labyrinth breeding base around the port of Fog Yarn in the Sertar Empire...... He has heard of the name for a long time, but he has never had a chance to come.

This place has produced more than 30% of the Warcraft materials on the side of the Emperor and the Imperial Capital, and with its own efforts, it can be compared to the output of several provinces, which is undoubtedly a super output building, and it is also the goal of Ian's future plan for the 'South China Sea Labyrinth, the middle ecosphere.

There are a lot of advanced and mature technologies here waiting for him to learn and analyze!

And Ian is not in a hurry, he has time, as long as Andor does not die, his crystallized dragon clone is equivalent to the combination of inside and outside, and he can do many things that ordinary cultivators and demonic beasts can't do.

Both the prostitution technique and the prostitution resources are very feasible!

Andor pushes out a cart and loads the incubator where the Crystallized Baby Dragon is located in its entirety, and then pushes it out of the hatchery - the other dragon egg is left behind, and Ian tells Andor not to worry, the egg will not hatch yet, it will be incubated at the right time when Andor takes care of it, and it will be part of the other party's merit.

In this way, he will also gain a certain status in this farm, which will facilitate Ian's future actions.

[Seems to be quite free]

Ian hunched over the cart and looked around curiously.

Inside the greenhouse, there are dozens of transparent hatching rooms, some of which are vacant, some have not yet hatched, and some have hatched

melted, but did not leave it, but moved slowly in the hatchery, or rested.

These are all demonic beasts, and the glass of the hatchery room seems to be fragile, but it can actually withstand bullets and heavy crossbow shots, and dozens of different demonic beasts of essentia and life breath converge in this area, not only is there no chaos, but also under the ingenious design, it merges into a strange breath of life, so that the vitality is steaming upwards and rushing to the top of the greenhouse.

Walking out of the greenhouse located underground, there is a huge hemispherical vault on the outside, and at the top of the hemisphere is a hole that leads directly to the outside world, and the light golden sunlight goes straight into the ground from this hole, faintly with the light pattern of sparkling waves.

The visible psionic field converges with sunlight as the carrier, condensing inscription lines visible to the naked eye in mid-air, matching the intensity of essentia in the space.

There are a total of eight greenhouses in the vault space, and there is a sign of 'Rare Warcraft Incubation Area' at the edge, obviously, this vault space is specially used to hatch Warcraft.

There are many staff and automated machinery walking between the greenhouses to observe.

"Some monsters need to be sent to a suitable area as soon as possible after hatching, otherwise, it may affect their health."

Andor, who had just reported the situation with the instrument, explained, "I also used this reason to report to the higher authorities just now, otherwise, it would be a big mistake to take the monster out of the hatching area without permission...... But with you, it's much easier, and I can send you to the sea area that has been prepared for the Crystallized Dragons for a long time, where you can get a rough view of the entire farm."

【Bothered】

Ian was happy with Andor making it as easy as possible, and that was what he wanted.

However, after saying this, he remained silent.

The elf pushed the cart along a spiral upward trajectory and gradually reached the ground.

It was a long process, and Ian keenly sensed that the 'underground' he was in was probably not a normal underground, but a thick layer of buildings under the surface of the sea, just because the structure was too large and dense to give people the illusion.

Moreover, this spiral orbit made him feel a little strange...... The staircase was clearly built by a latecomer, and its original shape was more of a fluid launch trajectory than a staircase.

This gave Ian a guess, but now was not the time to guess.

Soon he will know the truth.

Soon, as Andor kept crossing the barrier and opening the valve, the outside sunlight really shone in through the crack in the door.

Ian felt the fresh sea breeze blowing.

Unlike the overly warm and humid South China Sea, the cool sea breeze mixed with a few moist water drops fluttered towards his scales.

The young dragon looked up.

In the north of the continent, the sun next to the quiet sea is not dazzling, it is obscured by a thin layer of clouds, covering the next layer of hazy light, a golden fireball faintly suspended above the sky, gilding the surrounding clouds and the sea with its own color.

Then, Ian lowered his head, and he looked around the perimeter of where he was.

Then he saw a 'lighthouse.'

Ian held his breath.

In his area was an extremely tall and huge lighthouse, which pierced out of the sea, still hundreds of meters high, and beneath this lighthouse was an extremely large structure, but submerged by the sea.

No...... Is it really architecture?

That's a city. A huge, layered city of countless steel structures - it resembles the mythical Leviathan, an impossibly large whale that fell here, and its body merged with the land and the sea to finally become what it is today.

Kilometer-high lighthouses emerge from the decomposing corpses of the giant city like forests in the ocean, and the large, dense wall structure insulates all seawater, providing an excellent sealing environment for its interior space.

And around this giant city, there are many dense clusters, like ants

The swarms of creatures were swimming around, but Ian could see that they were not ordinary creatures, but groups of sonic dolphins, and these intelligent monsters had become patrols around the giant city under the guidance of humans, closely monitoring the movements of all the monsters around them.

"This is the farm."

Andor's voice rang out, his tone with awe bordering on fear: "We are in the nineteenth 'hatching area,...... The underwater labyrinth 'Atlan Mega City' is its main component, and in the underwater inland sea and the surrounding blockade of the 'breeding sea', there are countless monsters with different ecology inhabiting it......

Andor was certainly in awe. Humans are in awe and wonder about this unusually large structure—what was the purpose for which it was built, and what kind of catastrophe did it take to be buried here, from a glorious pre-era civilization to a labyrinth today?

They don't know, so they feel fear and fear.

And Ian knows.

[This is the ...... Orbital Colony City?! 】

Ian's eyes widened, and he could see at a glance the true essence of the breeding ground, the 'Underwater Labyrinth Atlan Giant City' - it was a 'space colony city' that should be located in a permanent orbit! Whether it's its structure similar to that of the central district of the Imperial Capital, or whether it's supposed to be a 'track entrance,' a lighthouse, it proves it!

Now, Ian has seen it completely clearly, Atlanta should be a commercial or fortress city that was originally located in space orbit, these dense and huge 'lighthouses', all used to attract spaceships' docks, the ships will be docked around the perimeter, and the cargo and passengers will follow these 'lighthouses, in the middle of the track, horizontally rather than vertically, into the city!

The intact form of Atlan Megacity should be a space city with a structure similar to that of a sea urchin!

Moreover, it was not sunk into the sea at all because of geological changes...... It fell straight from the sky, 'smash, on top of the earth!'

But on what ground?!

Even if it is a space fortress, falling from the orbit of outer space, it should be shattered, at least the surrounding terrain will have extremely terrifying changes, how can it be so ordinary embedded in place?

And it's not just these puzzles.

The six pupils of the little crystal dragon all contracted to the extreme, observing the surrounding situation.

He quickly sensed that something was wrong—on the edge of the entire Atlanta Megacity, there was an extremely conspicuous, even incredibly large, 'anomalous structure!'

It was bones...... The partial bones of a giant dragon.

Kilometers of dragon claw bones clinging to the side of the giant city, its entire structure crushed under the giant city, all the flesh and blood have decayed, or become nutrients for the surrounding land ecology, only the strongest, metal-like bones remain.

In this moment, Ian felt that his psionic ability was 'foreseeing the horizon and vibrating it rapidly' to go back to the past, and the ability was working.

Then he saw it.

Ian saw a blinding flash of light speeding from the far end of the universe through the Gaze Moon in the void, which melted half a moon and fell in an oblique trajectory towards Terra.

The incredible psionic radiation spread to the entire planet and even the star field, killing most of the people directly exposed to this radiation in an instant, and the colonial cities located in outer space bore the brunt.

The originally quiet city cried high in the sky, and countless souls mourned in the burning dead city, it fell from the top of the sky with blood-red fire smoke, and in the surrounding area, dozens of the same dead cities were also falling, with the trajectory of destruction.

A battered dragon roared and soared from the interior of the planet, and Chi had just paid a great price to resist the aftermath of the streamer that ran through the moon and protect some of the life on the native planet.

And now, Chi also wants to try to protect these fallen floating cities, some of which are still alive.

Ian felt great unwillingness from the dragon's heart, no

Giving up and anger...... There is also the despair that lies deep in the heart.

[Is Terra dying?] 】

Ancient, sad, with an echo of deep regret, as if through time, resounded in the heart of the prophet: [The prophecy has come true, the apocalypse has come, and fate has abandoned our ......]

[There is no hope anymore, the heavens have collapsed, and the creators who will forge the kingdom of heaven have perished......]

【...... Nope]

The dragon's echo became firm: "I don't believe in this prophecy"

[I'm going to make the last fight]

He fought.

And then......

He failed.
