In the quiet core space, a pitch-black circular hole suddenly appeared in the air.

As a crystal clear dragon claw poked out.

An elegant crystal dragon slowly emerged from the black hole.

The entrance to this space, which was more than ten meters in diameter, was so small that he had to use Transfiguration to shrink his body to climb out.

Feel the familiar magical elements floating around you and the smell of blood.

A hint of trance flashed in the dragon's dim colored pupils.

"How long the hell have I been in there?"

"A thousand years?"

"Two thousand years?"

"I have mastered most of the magical knowledge left by Xianni, and I have also mastered dozens of nine-ring magic."

"It's a pity that the production of the Magic Crown is stuck in the last step, if the divine materials are sufficient."

Ron stayed there for a moment.

Suddenly returning to reality from the dark imaginary space, he was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

Ron's hoarse voice echoed through the space, like a broken gong rubbing.

One day in heaven and one year on earth.

Ron didn't know how many years he had spent in that infinitely extended imaginary space, and the price of smuggling time was that his feelings became a little indifferent.

The process of learning magic is boring.

At first, he would entertain himself with the stock in his storage space and talk to himself.

But in the end, he didn't even have the passion to speak.

He just boredly looked at the magical memories, imprinted the strange magic into his mind, and gradually became familiar with it

The sudden opening of his mouth after a long period of silence alone made Ron's language function a little uncomfortable.

In addition to the mental changes, Ron's physical changes are also obvious.

Compared to his previous slender streamlined body, his current dragon body appeared fuller and fuller.

Well. To speak human words is to become stronger.

The gravitational coefficient of imaginary space is completely different from Karen's.

It's like a high-pressure chamber, and the closer you get to the center, the stronger the pressure.

And Ron, who is studying magic in the imaginary number center, is under this pressure all the time, and his already powerful body is also passively evolving under the pressure of high pressure.

Strength and magic

Two distinct directions of ability have created an incredible balance in Ron's life.

After adjusting to the gravity of the Cullen plane for a while, Ron suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at the female face Sphinx who was still sleeping in a pool of blood.

The world of gods and goddesses was a thousand years ago for Ron, but he still remembered the female face Sphinx who was knocked unconscious by himself.

"I still have to inquire about the affairs of the gods, and at the same time, I must also get my hands on the treasures of the gods."

Ron looked at the sleeping female face Sphinx, thinking silently in his heart.

Elves are too hard to find.

And even if he found the elves and the World Tree, Ron wasn't sure if the hermitted, old-fashioned elves would obediently hand over the precious water of life.

I'm afraid I'll have to fight again.

If you want to get the water of life without touching the mysterious elves, then the treasure of the gods guarded by the Sphinx may be your only chance at present.

A golden light swept into the Sphinx's body with his hand.

The female Sphinx's originally calm face suddenly frowned as if she was in a nightmare, and her calm eyelids continued to flutter.

Finally, under the interference of divine power, this 15-meter-long divine beast slowly opened its brown pure eyes.

It is worth mentioning that the Sphinx family does not have normal biological eye structures such as pupils and lenses.

Their eyes are more like a pure gemstone, which is said to have been created by the gods using divine powers mixed with mortal jewelry.

"Where am I?"

Her forelimbs bent, barely supporting her body, and she looked at the familiar and unfamiliar surroundings around her with some confusion.

Familiar ceilings, unfamiliar dragons, rancid smells

Everything reminds the female face Sphinx that the scene she played with her husband and children just now was nothing more than a dream after all.

At this time, the black and red blood that spurted out of her belly had not dried up, and the liquid that emitted the stench of evil soaked half of her body and limbs.

She first glanced at the crystal dragon in front of her, then looked at her flat stomach in confusion, and her eyes suddenly widened.

"Kid, by the way, what about my child?"

She looked around in a panic, and even spread her wings and flew into the sky, looking for the figure of the little Sphinx in her dream.

"Max! Max, where are you? ”

"Stop playing hide and seek"

"Mommy can't find you anymore"

The female Sphinx wailed, calling out the name she had given to the child of her dreams.

Unfortunately, dreams are dreams after all.

Ron silently watched the female face, and the Sphinx looked for the child's figure in the core of the space like crazy.

"Did you see it? My child."

The female Sphinx suddenly remembered the dragon that had broken into the lair.

She flapped her wings and leaped in front of Ron, her panicked pupils reflecting the body of a pure white crystal dragon.

It was the appearance of an primeval crystal dragon.

In order to prevent the identity of the iridescent dragon from causing death, Ron has cast a permanent magic spell in his daily life and applied dozens of magic to himself that interferes with prophecy and reconnaissance, just to prevent his identity from being exposed.

But what he didn't know was that all this had already been thought of by the two dragon gods.

They had erased the traces of Ron's history long before he entered the Dream Realm, and no god should try to find Ron's trace by magic or magic.

Although there are some differences from the colorful dragon in her memory, Lori Ortega has no time to care about anything else.

What was originally an uninvited guest suddenly became a lifesaver.

"Mighty dragon, do you see my child?"

She ran to Ron's lap, two amber eyes looking at Ron pleadingly,

She hoped that the other party would tell her that her child was just naughty and went out to play, and that he would be back soon.

Even if it's a little later, a little later.

She is also willing to wait for her children to return.

"Please, tell me where my child has gone."

The female Sphinx hugged Ron's leg and pleaded in a low voice.

She wanted the dream to be real more than reality.

She wished that everything in her dream was still there, that she had just accidentally lost the child.

Ron looked at the female face Sphinx and shook his head, ruthlessly shattering the last shred of her illusions.

"Wake up, Lori Ortega, think back to those memories you don't want to remember, this is reality."

"You've never had any children, you've just been parasitized by the outer gods, and the monster in your womb has been killed by me."

"You have to remember! It is useless to indulge in illusory dreams and forget about real life! ”

When the female face Sphinx heard this, she was hit hard.

She collapsed weakly on the crimson ground, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.

"Why?"

"How so."

Her helpless voice grew low, and the space fell silent.

Whether it's monsters, humans, or gods.

You will only know when you are in the position of a powerless weakling.

The facts that are not good for you are often the truth.

But Lori Ortega's reaction was different from the crazy roar Ron had expected.

The female-faced Sphinx, who had been bewitched by the outer gods, did not thunder or wail.

She just quietly propped herself up, keeping her head down and silent.

"Smack!"

A drop of red liquid, unknown whether it was blood or tears, streaked through the corner of her eye, and then dripped into a pool of blood with a crisp dropping sound.

The so-called mourning is greater than heart death, and that's probably it.

Just when Ron thought she was going to kill herself, the female face Sphinx suddenly raised her head.

The tear-stained woman's face showed a smile that was uglier than crying:

"I'm sorry, under the crown of the real dragon, I lost my temper."

"You're right, that's not my child. That's just a lie. ”

"Thank you for your help, otherwise I might have died, and your kindness Lori Ortega will always be remembered."

Ron shook his head, motioning for the other party not to care about the cumbersome etiquette.

"Tell me about the pregnancy."

"As sad as this memory may be, I must know how that god got into the astral plane."

The female Sphinx was silent for a moment, then nodded, slowly recounting the past events that happened nearly a thousand years ago.

Over time.

Lori Ortega told Ron all the whispers and sacrificial magic circles she had encountered before, and even the magic circle casting materials that connected the astral realm and the outer gods.

"I see"

After listening to Lori Ortega's experience, Ron quietly thought about integrating this information in his mind.

Look at the silent dragon opposite.

The female Sphinx also seemed to sense that something was wrong in Ron's eyes.

In this long talk just now, the other party did not interject once, and the performance was very calm throughout the whole process.

It's like. A dying dragon in its twilight years!

You must know that when this dragon broke into his lair before, his personality was very "active".

Not only does he speak frivolously and tease himself, but he even takes the initiative to touch his bulging belly out of curiosity.

But now he is like a dying old man, and his eyes are full of endless vicissitudes.

The female face Sphinx didn't know what happened after she fell unconscious.

But she knew that maybe what she was guarding would help the other person.

Lori Ortega asked in a low voice:

"Are you here to get the treasures of the gods? I can open the seal for you. ”

In addition to this treasure that she has guarded for nearly a thousand years, Lori Ortega can't think of anything else in her body that is worthy of a powerful true dragon taking the initiative to find her and lend a hand.

Ron shook his head:

"I originally wanted to find an ancient red dragon to break into here, but it seems that I don't need to look for it now."

"Ancient Red Dragon? Are you talking about Atefu Fury? ”

"Oh? Looks like you know each other? ”

When Ron heard the name, there was a slight interest in his originally dull eyes.

Red Tyrant Ateph Flame

It was the name of the unlucky red dragon who was blinded by the old man's horse.

This guy specializes in raiding houses and houses, not only attacking caravans and slaughtering tribes that live in the wilderness

At his boldest, he even attacked the territory of one of the five-color legions stationed on the borders of the kingdom, the Red Legion!

However, at that time, he was only an extremely old dragon, and was seriously injured and repelled by the Red Legion Commander [Eugene Talloran], who had high-level legendary strength at the time.

However, being able to survive the siege of the Red Legion, known as the strongest legion of the Roses, is enough to prove his strength.

He is an ancient red dragon with a standard executioner personality.

In particular, Artef Fury, who has a penchant for slaughtering humans, has gained notoriety in the Red Heights, and has earned the title of Red Tyrant.

Ron looked down at the female Sphinx, his eyes full of inquiry.

Lori Ortega shook her head: "We don't have any social contacts, it's just that the spatial passage of White Feather Mountain that I set up on the Karen plane was originally his territory. ”

Ron frowned, and said with some confusion:

"But I haven't seen a red dragon there before, and the surrounding environment doesn't look like there are traces of ancient red dragons living there."

The biological realm of the true dragon will automatically change the surrounding environment, and it stands to reason that the area where an ancient red dragon lives for a long time should be covered with magma formations.

But the mountain where Ron entered the space was a green mountain and green water, birds singing and flowers, and there was the shadow of a red dragon.

"That's because that red dragon is dead, and even his original territory was completely destroyed by natural magic, and after nearly a hundred years of growth, White Feather Mountain has become what it is now."

Lori Ortega spoke surprisingly and directly told Ron a shocking news.

"Dead? Who has what it takes to kill a legendary ancient red dragon? ”

"Isn't it?"

Ron looked at the female face Sphinx suspiciously, although this Sphynx is also a legend, it is still impossible to kill an ancient red dragon.

Unless it is besieged by two legendary sphinxes, and the red dragon fights to the death.

Lori Ortega shook her head slightly:

"It wasn't me and my husband who did it, I was in a state of pregnancy parasitism. We don't want to cause trouble, let alone anger a legendary ancient red dragon. ”

"Although he often comes to harass us, relying on the nine-ring magic given by the god at the door, he also has no way to deal with us."

"But on the day he was killed, I 'happened to pass by,' so I took this place after his death and used it as a test of riddles."

Speaking of this, Lori Ortega paused, remembering the scene when she set up a new home with her husband and imagined the future.

How happy she was then, how sad she is now.

Look at the situation you find now: the husband who was originally in a good relationship has mysteriously left, the child has been proven to be a scam of the outer gods, and a legendary and even demigod dragon is eyeing you.

After all these years, it seems that I have nothing left.

Except for the treasure of the so-called gods behind him.

After a moment of sadness, she continued:

"The one who killed that ancient red dragon was a powerful elf with high-level legendary strength."

"And I can feel that she was about to be promoted to demigod at that time, and the natural magic that made the heavens and the earth lose color directly pierced the heart of the red dragon, which still makes me shudder when I think about it."

"The legendary elf seems to have a great hatred for Atif Fury, and she even performed an act of torture after killing the ancient red dragon - she cut off the red dragon's head and hung it on the White Feather Mountain, only to be taken down when it was discovered by a group of mountain kobolds."

"As a result, the kobolds also obtained a large amount of dragon blood, which they used to transform their own bloodline."

Ron suddenly had a twinkle in his eyes when he heard the words High Elf.

As for the dragon vein kobold tribe or something, Ron was not interested at all.

Anyway, no matter how talented they are, they can't beat Hogg.

Hogg is a combination of [Ringing Egg] and [Rainbow Dragon Vein Dog Head] as one! Even the real dragon has to admit that this guy's talent is terrifyingly scary.

But Ron was intrigued by the identity of the mysterious legendary elf.

The elves are known for their beauty, intellectuality, and elegance in the astral plane.

(Some people say that they are all a bunch of old antiques, with stiff minds and no flexibility.)

The High Elves are particularly good at this, and they usually punish those who offend them, but rarely take the initiative to kill their opponents (without a deep vendetta or war), let alone torture corpses.

Elves who can achieve this level of cruelty will definitely only happen if they have a blood feud with the other party.

According to the female face Sphinx, the red dragon was killed 100 years ago, about 20 years after being attacked by the red dragon in Kahlan's diary.

If no other elven team sneaks out, then theoretically the chance for this red dragon to make a feud with the elves is to attack the elf Karan.

As for the vengeful legendary elf.

Kahlan's diary mentions that her grandmother often meets the Elven Empress and has an excellent relationship, and that her grandmother is a High Elf herself.

Could it be that she came out to avenge her granddaughter?

Just as Ron was about to continue asking, an angry roar suddenly came from the entrance to the space core:

"Damn dragon, get out of the way of my partner!"

The voice did not fall,

A brownish-yellow afterimage waved its claws, rushing madly towards Ron like a meteor.

The brownish-yellow afterimage looked like a blazing meteor, and it was so fast that it flew in front of Ron almost instantly.

"Don't!"

"Poof!"

Two distinct voices rang out in the core of the space at the same time.
