Chapter 156: Isengard's Advance Route (5000)
Reliving II. Although it sounds a lot like the fantasy settings that Ian has seen on the Internet in his previous life, which even science fiction dare not use lightly, it is not particularly exaggerated because Terra really has swords, magic and aether in this place.
Especially things like life-prolonging magic plants and life-prolonging strange things, they are actually not that complicated.
The first time Ian met Esengard and his group was because of a life-extending magic plant.
This kind of magic plant longevity generally relies on two methods, the first is to add a large amount of life essence, which is equivalent to adding an upper limit to the human blood bar, and the life span is naturally extended, but it cannot treat all kinds of dark injuries and losses, so the older you are, the worse the effect.
The second is to repair all kinds of wounds and omissions, in this way, it has a miraculous effect for those who have been injured and reduced their life, but some well-maintained nobles have no effect after eating it.
Most of these two types of life-extending demon plants have thresholds, and if you eat too much, there will be no effect, because there is a limit to both the dark damage and the upper limit of the health bar.
However, high-grade life-extending curiosities are different. Especially the fifth-level strange thing that Anfa said 'the source of dragon's blood,.
As the highest level, it is indeed a strange thing that has extended the life of several fifth-level people in history, and the source of dragon blood comes from the huge vitality left behind by the true dragon after his death.
It sounds strange - the real dragon is dead, how can there be any vitality left?
But this involves the particularity of the life of the true dragon.
As Ian knows, the true dragon is actually an artificial race with a creator and a life expectancy, and she has incredible vitality, if there is no limit to its use, let alone five hundred years, even if it is an eternal life.
But once the limit of the useful life is reached, that is, five hundred years, even if the true dragon itself is still physically healthy, he will still die.
And in this way, the true dragons who die because of the expiration date will accumulate a large amount of life essence that is extremely pure and can be reused by any life in the bodies left behind by the robes...... And this essentia will rely on the 'dragon blood,' condensed into the 'dragon blood source,' which can also be used by the powerhouses of the fifth energy level.
The sublimator system of the Terra world does not increase lifespan.
The potion will indeed provide the sublimator with extraordinary divine power and additional life essence, and the sublimator's advancement can also improve their life essence to a certain extent - if it is an ordinary person, just the vitality possessed by the second-level sublimator is enough for them to live for two or three hundred years, not to mention the third-level level, it is easy to live for one or two thousand years.
However, in addition to enhancing the essence of life, the sublimator also increases the loss of the essence of life.
The new sublimation organ, the loss of various life psionic energy, makes the sublimator like a super-large high-consumption electrical appliance, even if it comes with a more powerful battery and charger, but because of the increase in energy consumption, the standby time is still about the same as that of ordinary people.
Even the fifth energy level has not come out of this predicament.
The third energy level, in fact, is the limit of 'free shots, starting from the fourth energy level sublimator, as long as any sublimator starts to fight with all his might, it will lead to the loss of his lifespan.
The true body of the ether constructed from the primordial ether, each dispatch means that the life of the high-level ascendant will be reduced by at least ten years.
Of course, the theoretical lifespan of a fourth-level ascendant can reach thousands of years, but in a world like Terra, how could it not be a fight? The Sublimators can't even reduce their sublimation organ consumption, and they need to be in a constant state of readiness, which makes their lives burn like a fire, reaching the end quickly.
And the fifth energy level is even more terrifying, even if they don't fight, they will consume their life expectancy like crazy...... Like a torch, each fifth-level ascendant is an artificial sun, releasing light enough to illuminate the world, while constantly incinerating the self and soul.
"After all, the fifth-level powerhouse is at least the power of the space battleship level, but the essence of life is still the existence sublimated by the 'human race...... The strength is higher than the essence, just like using the trained human body to urge the power armor or even the tank battleship, it will definitely reduce the life expectancy."
"But the real dragon is different—the real dragon starts from the beginning
It was designed according to the level of super life in the universe, the theoretical lifespan of the robes is unlimited, and the life essence contained in the body is pure and majestic, even the extreme design of the fifth energy level can be recharged once, allowing them to relive a second time.
"But like a lost battery, even if it is fully charged again, it will not be able to return to its original appearance, and a deteriorated battery cannot support a second or even third charge...... This is also the reason why the Fifth Energy Level Ascendant has not appeared many times and lived many lives with the Longevity Miracle Thing."
At this moment, Ian already understood in his heart why all countries were willing to accompany Canaan Moore to play a game of ruins exploration.
The source of dragon blood, a treasure of this level, can indeed make all the forces suppress other thoughts, and quietly go and discuss the distribution after taking it out.
In the Terra Continent, the third energy level is the high-level combat power that can often appear, the fourth energy level rarely makes a move, and the fifth energy level spends most of its time suppressing the situation, leaving all its strength to deal with those' apocalypse disasters,—— so the fifth energy level powerhouses basically don't have any opinions on the mainland's political pattern, and they don't care about any ruins and labyrinths, these things don't mean much to them.
Only the source of dragon's blood can make these human gods look sideways slightly...... But it's not to the point where you have to snatch it, because it comes down to letting them live a little longer, 'recharge again, just one more time.'
If the current vitality is lost in order to recharge the plan, and in the end it is not grabbed, then it will be a great disaster for your own country.
"No wonder."
Ian whispered, "That makes sense."
At this point, he stretched out his hand and looked at the 'transmitter' in his hand.
This small ultra-rare material transmitter worth tens of thousands of thalers is not just a bribe for Ian, it is also an extremely subtle aether signaling device that can work in any environment.
Ian had just scanned it through the Prophetic Vision and the silver chip, and found that this transmitter should be some kind of 'remote control', which activates at a specific time and in a specific area, and will release an extremely hidden aether wave, which will activate some instruments with a specific receiving structure, without any delay or loss.
If it were an ordinary person, there would definitely be no way to match the transmitter with the receiving instrument, but Ian is not an ordinary person, as long as he can see it, he can know which instruments the transmitter in his hand can activate, and then analyze Speaker Japhda's plan.
Ian didn't think that Speaker Jafoda would give him such a crucial and dangerous task, and he might not even be the only one with the transmitter, but he still wanted to find out what the other party really meant.
The boy's instinct told him that Speaker Jafoda definitely had a big plan. Now that the fifth-level powerhouse will not make a move at will, as a peak sublimator of the fourth energy level of Canaan Moore, he definitely intends to use the existence of the source of dragon blood to do something.
And this matter must have something to do with the internal struggle to maintain the party and the pillar party.
- No matter where you go, you can't avoid the struggle between people. Ian wasn't surprised when he thought so.
In any case, all this will have to wait until after entering the ruins.
Soon, as Master Gravi also came to the airship, the silverware slowly took off and set off.
"Speaking of which."
Feeling the slight shock of the airship taking off, Isengard seemed to think of something: "Ian, it seems that every time you go out in some vehicle, you will encounter an accident."
"The exploration ship that explored the South China Sea was attacked by my uncle, the train to the imperial capital was attacked by the Flame Land spies, the pumice flying machine that went to Avak was shot down by the aftermath of the Tianhong King, and the siren this time......
"If you think about it, you really have an accident every time! Although you can save the day every time, does that mean you are not suitable for going far away?"
"Really?"
This topic immediately caught the attention of Anfa and Theo, the former adding or subtracting numbers to his little notebook, while the latter poked his head out and asked with great interest, "Then let's take an airboat meeting this time."
Won't there be an accident?"
"Don't be so excited, I just want to hurry up to the World Tree Capital now." Ian reached out and pressed Theo's excited little head back, he shook his head and said, "It's all an illusion, I'm riding out by myself......
As soon as he spoke, Ian recalled the incident of the Ryan Collar, the Magnetic Light Knight who came to attack him, and the Three Kingdoms Dragon Worship Sect that traveled thousands of miles to assassinate him......
......
"It's all a trifle, not an accident." Ian immediately changed his tune and said, "And this statistical sample is too small, at least it will take a few decades, and it will be more scientific for me to come back to the statistics after I go out hundreds of times."
"To be honest, I'm having a hard time understanding humans."
Although Theo's head retracted, he still didn't stop speaking: "I've always been a little bit unsure of why humans attack each other and fight - in a society of real dragons, they only fight for territory and treasure, and after the fight, everyone doesn't hold grudges, and when it's over, the well water doesn't interfere with the river water, and no dragon will deliberately attack each other when other dragons go out.
"Believe me, it's just because there are fewer dragons." Ian shook his head, "When the number of true dragons exceeds a thousand and fills the entire Terra, we will soon see murder and war between dragons and dragons."
"That's what I especially admire, Ian."
"Whatever you say, you're so confident that you've seen it with your own eyes," said Theo.
- That's because I've actually seen it, of course.
Ian thought so, he had really seen the Star Shattering War between the dragons in the memory of the steel dragon, and the number of dragons had not exceeded a thousand at that time, so should it really exceed a thousand?
Theo doesn't know about the Shattered Star War, and even the King of the Mountain probably doesn't, which is obviously a secret hidden behind the true dragon's past.
She just sighed, "I wish I could be as confident as you are Ian, and be able to understand humans a little more...... Sometimes I am afraid that I don't know much about human society, so I am afraid of my hands and feet, which leads to ugliness......
"Listen, Theo."
Although it felt like Theo was just a little idle because he didn't have snacks to eat, Ian still said with a straight face, "You don't need to please with words, and deliberately please other people. You just have to be yourself and show your authentic side, and that's when you're at your most attractive."
"Hey...... Is that so?" Theo smirked.
On the side, Anfa blinked and looked at Isengard.
- Does Ian talk like this all the time?
Isengard nodded.
- Yes. Always. I find it fascinating.
According to the original plan, Ian was going to take the train to the World Tree Capital, and if nothing else, the journey would definitely be an accident, as at least five extremist groups were attacking along the train route.
But this time, with the empty boat of the Silver Gate family, the group was very smooth, and they flew straight to the destination without any waves.
Isengard's recent diligent study and penance, coupled with his previous tempering in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, allowed him to reach the edge of the second energy level, and his potions were already in place and could be advanced at any time.
"I'm going to move forward on my way to the Xenomorph Research Institute. At that time, I will be able to obtain the 'Refining Light Eclipse Dragon, the first bloodline ability...... But I still haven't figured out which ability to choose."
This is the reason why Isengard has not advanced, the second energy level of refining light eclipse dragon has several different bloodline abilities to choose from, strengthening his own 'blood explosion, you can control and strengthen the 'blood control of a variety of small demonic beasts' through blood, directly forcibly erode the thinking of large demonic beasts, and stimulate their physical fitness 'brain-eroding'......
An ancient lineage of skill, the Dragon's bloodline even has specialized armor and aether armament in its veins, allowing them to control any machine as if it were their own body.
The bloodline ability that Patrick chose at the beginning was the simplest and best 'Burning Blood Burst,,
But Isengard has no such intentions, he prefers to 'eclipse the brain, and' nerve extension,.
"After all, I rarely fight alone." Isengard explained, "Both the Brain Eclipse and the Nerve Extension can be used in our family's Ether Cultivation Outfit, the former can be manipulated and enhanced as a large magical beast, while the latter is a little more versatile, but it is less effective for the Breeding Outfit."
"I'm thinking, although our Eren family is a colonization specialist, there is no need to pile up all the abilities on the colonization, Ian, you have the ability to develop armor, in that case, I choose 'nerve extension, it should be better.'"
"I wanted to hear your opinion, so I didn't advance right away."
"Is that so? You trust me."
Ian frowned slightly, of course he would not live up to Esengard's trust, so he thought seriously, "Indeed. The situation in your family is very complicated, and if you want me to say, Yisen, you may not be able to get your family's colonization clothes in the future, let alone use them in the family infighting."
"In this way, it is more useful to 'extend the nerves...... My territory is developing our Silver Peak Family's new era of aether armament, and if the time comes, I may be able to give you a set!"
"That's not necessary."
Isengard laughed, he just wanted a suggestion, "The Xia Hui Territory is still in the development stage, you better prepare your own aether armament first."
"But you're right, our family is infighting, and it's unlikely that I can expect the colonization to be useful...... In that case, I'd better choose nerve extension."
- It seems that the internal struggle on the Empire side is also quite serious.
Leaning on Theo's shoulder, one hand gently rubbing the dragon girl's head, Anfa listened silently to the exchange between Ian and Isengard, and couldn't help but think of his own family, and the infighting between the two major parties of Canaan Moore.
Whether it is an empire or an elf, there will always be a situation where the same family, the same bloodline, and still have to fight in the same room.
Generations of Canaan-Moorish wise men have been thinking about how to solve this problem...... But the window to solve this problem has passed, and there was no unification of Canaan Moore hundreds of years ago, and since then, there has been little chance of unification.
Even if it was her, it was just an experiment born to try to solve this problem.
With a light sigh, the elf girl shook her head slightly. She doesn't think about it anymore.
Time passes.
The airboat crossed the eastern shore of Half Moon Lake through the Black Stream Harbor, Grey Lane Castle, and the Ainomore River Basin, and then headed northeast, following the sea breeze of the Eternal Silence.
The farther inland he went, the more different the landscape presented to Ian from the Empire, and the forests of Canaan Moore were clearly not the same style as the Southridge Province, which was much larger, more lush, and had a lot of gymnosperms and tall grass that looked very primitive and ancient. In addition to shrubs, the woodland is also dotted with large clusters of different types of fungi, some of which are mushrooms, some of which are of various types of fungus, and some of which are not named at all, and look like some kind of particularly large bamboo shoots.
And the creatures are even more peculiar - most of the creatures in the South Ridge are metal-based life forms with earth attributes, but the creatures in Canaan Moore are all kinds of giant insects with wind attributes and small and medium-sized lizards. Or to put it more bluntly, dinosaurs.
Just as there is an inherent prejudice against certain areas in the various parts of Terra, every Heavenly King Tingya can ride a horse, and the Canaan Moors really ride large bugs and large lizards as a means of transportation, of course, because there are many pterodactyls and riding bees in the local area, these domesticated dexterous creatures are very docile, but they lack stamina, and can only be used as a short-term mobile tool, and in the long term, they still have to take empty boats.
According to Ian's judgment, this is obviously because of the spread of a certain fire's alien ecology, just because of the evolution and coordination of Terra for thousands of years, so that this originally abnormal alien ecology has also been integrated into the Terra ecology, and has become suitable for today's elf survival One by one, the boy looked down from a high altitude and saw a lot of towns built on giant trees, these towns are centered on large giant forests, linked by various vine drawbridges and ziplines, and the elves rely on these props to shuttle back and forth with various riding creatures,
Embody their keen and dexterous racial identity.
The World Tree Capital is located in the very middle of this ancient Canaanite Moorish jungle.
