Chapter 165: Fate Contact
David and his entourage had already visited at least four green dragon lairs before, probably due to the fact that Nimphadora, who was also a young green dragon, was by his side, and most of the encounters along the way were similar.
When going to meet the Green Dragon Lords, they will often first encounter some forest creatures such as wolves, bears, deer, eagles, foxes, etc., which are not afraid of the dragon's power at all, and lead the way, or encounter some tree spirits or even elves who come forward to greet them directly.
It is said that Nymphadora said that these creatures were often already under the control of the green dragon's magic.
Perhaps behind the eyes of the twin creatures was a dragon peeking into a lair in the deep forest.
If it is some other race with unclear intentions or obvious strays into the territory of the Green Dragon, then these seemingly harmless creatures will often evolve into deadly threats, and may even encounter other dragon beasts or druids manipulated by the Green Dragon.
But what happened to Nifedora's mother this time was more like a colorful dream for David.
The saplings of the Mutant World Tree that reached the horizon were like the dome canopy of a labyrinth, and after following Shadela to dozens of steps and arriving at a spiral staircase composed entirely of parallel branches, the originally limited horizon in front of him began to open up, and on the vine-woven 'green field' below the spiral staircase, a herd of cattle and sheep appeared.
The water vapor accumulated in the canopy flows under the complex structure, and the slender waterfalls eventually converge into the water and lakes, which have completely built a natural mini-ecological circle.
This is a canopy thousands of kilometers above the ground!
"Your mother's mastery of natural magic is truly impressive." David couldn't help but admire.
[Jealousy]
[Greed]
This is not a commercial blow, but a heartfelt sigh, in David's opinion, this kind of attainment, I am afraid that the other party is on the road of legend, and he is going farther than his still young mother Pavla.
The only thing he found a little strange was that such a powerful legendary green dragon was rarely heard of in Scanis, the Old World, and even less famous than Felicia, the black dragon lord of the Duoze Wetlands he first visited.
"Yes, I have admired her since I was a child, and the reason why I left the nest and developed on my own is so that one day I can transcend the shadow of my mother, which is like a canopy, and become a great being like her."
Nymphadora's voice came from beside him, but it was faint.
But in this dreamy scene, he didn't notice it at all.
Soon, on both sides of the stairs, the family members of the green dragon who came to 'watch the ceremony' began to appear.
jackals, tigers and leopards with the light of wisdom in their eyes;
There are also steppe elves who wear weapons and bows and arrows at their waists;
There are also graceful and smiling dryads;
There is also a half-dragon elf with dragon horns and a dragon beast brother under him.
But when dozens of young and even adult green dragons fell from the empty dome on both sides of the stairs, looking at him like dragon-shaped stone sculptures with 'kind smiles' on their faces, David suddenly felt a little stressed.
Suddenly, there was even a sense of déjà vu that had strayed into a blue dragon's lair by mistake.
David instinctively glanced at Nifadora, but there was nothing beside him.
Not only Nymphadora, but even the dozen or so dragon cubs behind him who had been 'physical training' in the wild for nearly half a year also disappeared.
David, who suddenly encountered such an abnormal situation, not only did not feel the slightest nervousness, but breathed a sigh of relief:
It turned out to be a dream, so it's not surprising, I'll just say how can a group of adult green dragons still nest in the dragon mother's lair and squat at home together. ’。
[Arrogance]
After all, the green dragon is different from the blue dragon, the blue dragon can maintain a group community mode in order to survive better, but the green dragon cannot.
Because of their intelligence and ambition, green dragons tend to be more willing to look for opportunities to surpass their elders, as Nymphadora did.
It's just like a normal dream, once you realize that you are dreaming, this dream will automatically 'collapse and disintegrate'.
David, who didn't know that this was the Mother of Dragons' wanted to create an opportunity to talk to him alone, quickly stabilized his unbridled and gradually cleared mind, and quickly ran up the stairs that began to twist and deform.
After all, he didn't feel any malice from beginning to end, and he didn't deliberately guide his 'dreams' to achieve the purpose of peeking into his thinking and memories.
The lack of malice between the dragons is itself a manifestation of goodwill.
This seems to be a contradiction, but it is common sense for the five-colored dragons to get along with each other.
After running wildly, David finally met the mother of the green dragon who had been waiting for him in the depths of his dreams, Serubella Aresandra, at the top of the canopy.
"Your perceptual power is even stronger than I imagined, I almost thought I wouldn't have a chance to meet you, young red dragon with unlimited potential, Davyyutos." Serubella smiled.
"Are you really no longer in Ellaria?" David sighed and uttered his guess.
"Yes, not long after my last litter, Nymphadora, left the lair, I embarked on a journey to discover my legendary destiny and travel through the planes in search of divinity, so what you see now is, as you guessed, our dreams that briefly link our consciousness."
"It sounds like a means of projection by the gods, and your greatness is also beyond my imagination." David sighed halfheartedly, half business-like.
It's just that this kind of touting also makes this green dragon, who may have stepped into the very old category, giggle:
"It's just one of the ways to use the dream realm [Dream Otherworld Travel], which can only allow me to wander in other planes in my dreams, or just communicate with you like now, and the projection of the gods descends, those are completely different concepts, well, because you have discovered the truth of it, even I can't maintain this dream for too long, so let's get straight to the point, Davyyutos, I already know what you mean, so let's get straight to the deal."
"Wait. You. Know where I'm coming from? David thought to himself that he didn't have any intentions.
It's just a visit to Nymphadora's elders before returning to the nest.
"It's easy to guess, isn't it? Seeing that you are carrying so many five-colored dragons behind you, aren't you here for my daughter? ”
Fortunately, there is the previous sentence, otherwise David would have suspected that the other party would mistakenly think that he was going to be a mother-in-law, and immediately apologized:
"I'm sorry, this daughter of yours is already a little too old and doesn't meet the admission standards of our college." He was referring, of course, to Nymphadora's sister Shadella.
He didn't want to have such a 'lively' dragon child in the camp and make trouble for himself everywhere.
He and Nymphadora have enough work on a regular basis.
Hearing David's euphemistic words, the green dragon mother was not disappointed, but changed her tone and said with a smile:
"Oh? Then it seems that there are still some deviations in the appeal between us, I thought that a young red dragon like you, who is about to enter the stage of a young dragon in just ten years, should not refuse the temptation of the three dragons, especially the most outstanding work of my Serubella dragon life, a pair of beautiful dragon twin daughters. ”
'it! This mother-in-law, phew! This old female dragon is a good flower! ’
[Color.]
David's tail straightened up instantly, and his heart was agitated and almost broke the dream link in front of him, but before he could stabilize his mind, he heard the female dragon continue to laugh coquettishly:
"Cunning little guy, obviously this red dragon, at such a young age, has learned to refuse and welcome more benefits, let me be blunt, I am about to go to the deeper 'savage plane' of the multiverse to explore, and then this jade dream will not be able to maintain under the interference of more chaotic rules.
"Shadela and Nymphadora are my last litter of children, you may not understand, but most of you should also know that old dragons like us who have entered the very old age are the only ones who have entered this last litter of children, and maybe some real family affection will be born.
"Shadella, in particular, was my last child, and when it was discovered that she had a more outstanding talent than her sister Nymphadora, she was naturally spoiled a little more, so much so that she remained in her youth, and until now, she is still immersed in the emerald dream I have wove from it.
"But the dream, the moment I finally woke up, and I, who should have been a talented child, now it seems that I am not as good as her sister Nimphadora.
"As a mother, I'm a little apprehensive about this."
David, who only believed half of the green dragon, immediately asked the doubts in his heart:
"But why don't you just ask your daughter Nymphadora?" In this way, the benefits do not need to be outflowed.
Then I heard the female dragon say: "This involves another expectation of mine, and she can't do it." ”
"Can't do it?" David was stunned.
"I hope that before one of them approaches their Legendary Destiny, you will take them to the Atas Plane, one of the savage planes, to meet my ancestor, the Emerald Dragon Mother Aresandra, where they will be enlightened by the Emerald Dream and will understand all the legendary paths that our Green Dragon bloodline has explored in the past.
"At that time, whether they continue along the legendary path of their ancestors, or avoid those paths that have been monopolized by the gods and doomed to be cut off, they will not have to waste too much time on this, as I do, like other legends who have been mere in the search for in the mediocre quest of the legendary destiny.
"Our dragon life seems to be long, but once we embark on the journey of legendary destiny, even if thousands of years of life are placed in the torrent of time, it is just a drop of rain and dew that will never be enough to squander."
David's heart suddenly became a little excited: "Does that mean that I am too?"
It's like playing a game and watching other 'high-playing' game experiences and strategies in advance!
Although the path of the red dragon and the green dragon is thousands of miles apart, there are some things that are always touched.
The Mother of Dragons smiled meaningfully: "Yes, this is one of the rewards, of course, there is a premise, otherwise, even if you arrive at the Athas plane, what you see will only be a barren 'cataclysmic remnant sun', not the 'rich green field' where my ancestors are, but at this point, I believe that my daughter Nymphadora looks at the dragon." ”
"The Remnants of the Dead?" David was shocked, he had only thought that the so-called Athas plane was somewhat familiar, but it turned out that the rumored out-of-control magic had robbed it of its vitality, turning its entire plane into a land scorched by the sun, abandoned by the gods, lacking water and hope.
A haunted place where even the undead don't want to go, a desperate world that is about to be completely drained of the last bit of magic.
"Yes, they are the same spatial coordinates, but not the same plane, just like each of us has a different fate, the world is a plane, and there are also different fates, theoretically we can't step into the same river of fate, but in that blue age, my ancestor Alessandra single-handedly changed the trajectory of the fate of that world, making it split into two, but the world woven by the 'Emerald Dream', and only the 'Weaver of Destiny' can set foot in its realm."
"Weaver of Destiny?" This is already a bit out of the ordinary for David, and at the same time feels a little unbelievable.
A dragon can tamper with the fate of an entire plane! Even if it is fictionalized in a dream, it still fascinates David.
"That is, those who come into contact with fate, referring to those who have jumped out of the 'water' at least once from the long river of fate, but there is no need to feel so magical, everyone who sets foot on the legendary destiny has actually touched their own destiny trajectory once or intentionally or unintentionally, but most of them, after falling back into the long river of fate, still can't change it. It's not a hard condition to meet, especially for you. ”
"Is there anything special about me?" David asked.
"I feel the remnants of the 'dream' in you."
This time, David simply stopped talking, there was too much unfamiliar knowledge.
The other party's words reminded him of the bizarre dream he had in his sleep.
Isn't it just dreaming that every living thing has?
I heard the other person continue: "Dreams are the key, just like my otherworldly travels, dreams can be used as a way to explore and travel to other planes, and can also be used to influence individuals through dreams, and even use dreams to torture or manipulate individuals like nightmares or some demons.
But what many creatures don't know is that the greatest use of dreams can actually be as a way to predict the future.
"Gods or other supernatural forces can use dreams to send prophetic foreshadowings to their followers or selected individuals, but they are mostly abstract and symbolic, and need to be parsed to understand their meaning."
David suddenly became vigilant, but he immediately remembered that he was not a believer in any gods, could it be Tiamat?!
But more often, after you come into contact with and master a certain power, you begin to be affected by the origin of this power, and some future scenes are reflected on it, which will refract a distorted mirror image of reality, and peeping and analyzing this dream will often inadvertently change the trajectory of your destiny.
"Even inadvertently, he changed his fate, as my ancestors called it.
"Fate Contact.
But this kind of change is difficult to say whether it is good or bad, so every person who is clear about this way will try to work the side that he thinks is good.
"So, they exist partially, and call themselves the Weavers of Destiny.
But only after understanding how vast the torrent of time is, will it become clear how ridiculous the so-called weaving of fate is.
"But it's more heartwarming to be able to change than to be able to change everything that has been established after seeing the tragedy, isn't it?"
David took a deep breath and agreed:
"That's true."
"So, I can understand that you have already agreed to this deal?"
"Yes, the reward you have spoken of alone is enough to make my heart flutter, but what I want to know is, how can I 'interpret dreams' like you?"
The old dragon replied: "Very good, then this deal is concluded, this dream is about to end, and the jade dream left to my daughter Shadella, is about to wake up."
"At that time, you can take the 'Emerald Heart' that I left behind, and sleep with it, so that you can stay awake and maintain the existence of the dream in the dream,
"At that point, it's up to you how to parse it. Your own will.
"My daughters, just
"I'll leave it to you
"Up"
As Serubella's words gradually blurred, the female dragon phantom in front of her and the entire Emerald Dream also fell apart.
Soon, a bit like the feeling of waking up after gastrointestinal endoscopy screening and general anesthesia surgery, David gradually felt his body, and the cries of collapse in his ears became louder and louder:
"Mom! Mom, don't leave me. ”
"Mom, don't you want me?"
"Wow!!"
As David was woken up by the cry of a crow like a dead vine and an old tree, at a glance, the sapling of the World Tree that reached into the sky like a city in the clouds was already in his 'dream'.
Completely withered.
All the galloping herds of cattle and sheep, the jackals, tigers, leopards, druids and those green dragons controlled by the green dragon all disappeared with the wind.
All that was left was the young emerald dragon who might have known that she was in a dream, but still refused to wake up.
Shadella.
Although he had already traded with the female dragon, he needed to take care of this 'little female dragon' who was a few rounds older than him.
But David is really not very good at appeasing dragon children, especially as a girl.
David immediately walked towards the 'Emerald Heart' that had fallen from the withered tree of life, which radiated an extremely rich breath of life.
This is a treasure, he doesn't even doubt that this thing can become a legendary magic treasure with a little alchemy for his father, and with the healing ability of the [Rebirth Stone] on his body and his own power [Gluttony], will it directly transform into a completely 'immortal and immortal' monster.
[Greed]
But God knows if this thing has the ability to interfere with dreams after that, and immediately gave up this fantasy of seducing dragons.
But just as David was wagging his tail in a happy mood and was about to take over one of the 'rewards' that the mother dragon had advanced to him in advance, he felt a vicious wind blowing in his face, accompanied by Shadella's heart-rending roar:
"Take your paws away! That's what my mother used to contact me!
"Mine!
"Ahh!!hh
Poof! David was immediately thrown to the ground by the dragon, which was larger than himself, and half of his head seemed to be covered by something.
Half a sound, a sharp pain hit.
"Ah!!h
"Loosen my mouth! Loosen your mouth! David immediately grabbed the ground like a big orange that was suddenly attacked by a wild cat, and couldn't stop biting, and he directly scuffled with the other party in a floor-style scuffle.
Very unseemly.
"Stop! Shadella! You're itching again, aren't you? That's me. O my friend! ”
For a while, Nymphadora, who was her sister, was also stunned when she looked at the two dragons wrestling together.
Shadella, who has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child, suddenly became even more angry:
"You're still back. Still helping the outer dragons! Wow!
"Mom, look! You've just left, and my sister has taken other dragons to rob your inheritance!
"Shadella's fate!
"It's so tragic!
"Wow!!"
The baby female dragon's mouth is heavier.
It's a real blow to your XP
