Chapter 66: The Dragon's Bloodline
The red scale armor shone with a metallic sheen, the wings were wide open, the head was a pair of sharp horns, and the mouth that was open to the limit was full of sharp teeth, especially the yellow-brown vertical pupils, as if it was still burning with angry flames.
"That's it...... Red Dragon?"
From a distance of several meters, Leo could also feel the chill emanating from the ice crystals, and this powerful creature, even if it was dead, still had a terrifying majesty.
"No, it's just a baby dragon, a real dragon, at least 20 meters long. As soon as the old mage finished speaking, he suddenly coughed violently.
Leo knew that although the old mage said it lightly, the injuries he suffered were probably not so simple. However, since the other party was reluctant to mention this matter, he didn't talk much, thinking that the old mage should still be measured.
After a moment of relief, Leo carefully observed the red young dragon in front of him through the ice crystals, and asked, "Teacher, do you want to use it to make zuò blood essence?"
"Yes. The old mage wiped the blood from his palm, "This is my last chance!"
Leo looked puzzled and asked, "Teacher, I don't understand, why is it the last chance?"
"Son, you know, I'm 93 years old this year. Byron sighed, "As a mage, although my soul is still strong, my body can also be maintained with medicine. But as we age, the fit between the soul and the body weakens little by little. Maybe in a few years, my body will not be able to maintain the stability of my soul, and I will eventually die. This is the rule of the world, and even if God wants to interfere, he will have to pay a great price. ”
Leo understood that after a few months of getting along, the old mage let himself see the red dragon, and he said these words to himself, which was already quite trusting, so he asked bluntly: "Teacher, you are a mage, even if you get the blood of the red dragon, what is the use?"
The old mage shook his head and said, "Kid, it seems that you still know too little about bloodlines. Also my problem, didn't expose you to this aspect early. Indeed, according to the general saying, the power in the bloodline will affect the casting of our mages, and even some powerful bloodlines may directly destroy the ability to cast spells when they awaken, so many bloodline families, in order to allow gifted children to learn magic smoothly, will use special potions to simply erase the bloodline. ”
Coughing a few more times, he continued, "But dragons are one of the most special creatures in this world. They are natural spellcasters, and they are one of the few creatures that can do both the Bloodline Warlock and Mage classes. Therefore, in most cases, the dragon bloodline will not have any effect on the casting of spells. And after obtaining the bloodline, you can also connect to the corresponding elemental realm and obtain some special bloodline spells. ”
"But it doesn't seem to have much to do with what you mentioned earlier, do you want to become a bloodline warlock?" Leo still didn't understand.
"No, no, no, as a mage, how could I waste my time learning crude warlock techniques. The old mage replied proudly, "You should know that whether it is the spontaneous awakening of the bloodline or the use of the bloodline essence to obtain the bloodline, some changes will occur in the body and soul. Taking the dragon bloodline as an example, the body will definitely become stronger, and the soul will also undergo some kind of qualitative change after being able to connect to the corresponding elemental realm. I just want to take advantage of this qualitative change and become a level 7 mage. The body enhancement and bloodline spells brought by the dragon bloodline are just a little extra benefit, it doesn't matter if you have it or not. ”
"So that's the case, the dragon bloodline is so special, so if you don't know what the bloodline of the gods should look like?" Leo muttered to himself, and suddenly remembered the story that Byron had told him in the Magic Council of Kaiyan City before, and asked in surprise: "Teacher, is it Amy's wish to make the essence of the red dragon bloodline?"
The old mage was pleased that Leo could remember his story, but he still shook his head with a smile and said, "Hehe, how can it be, she has always been unwilling to make zuò bloodline essence, after all, to make zuò this thing, you must kill some creatures." ”
"That ......" Leo became more and more confused.
Byron's face was full of deep sadness, "I didn't get to see Amy for the last time, but she left me a suicide note before she died. She said...... She didn't regret it, she didn't have many regrets with me, she just didn't give me a baby, and she didn't see me cast a rainbow flame for her. ”
"Rainbow Flame?" Leo keenly felt that all the teacher's actions should be related to this magic that he had never heard of.
Byron sighed, put away his sadness, and explained: "It's a level 7 magic, almost no attack power, but it is the brightest and most gorgeous of all magic, some people say that lovers who have been illuminated by the rainbow flame will always stay in each other's hearts." That's why I'm going to move up to level 7 anyway, and before I die, cast a rainbow flame to fulfill Amy's wish!"
Leo was completely shocked, he thought that the teacher was unwilling to die, he wanted to leave something in this world, but he didn't expect that the teacher's ultimate goal would be this. Maybe many people will think that Byron is a fool, but Leo doesn't think so, what kind of sincere and thick feelings can make an old man make a lot of effort, just to let his deceased wife watch the fireworks once.
Affected by this interference, Leo's feelings also stirred, and he asked firmly, "Teacher, what do you need me to do?"
Byron looked at Leo kindly and said, "Although I have been making zuò bloodline essence for decades, they are all low-level and intermediate-level, and this time I tried to make zuò high-grade bloodline essence, to be honest, I am not very sure." Kid, you have some special talents, so I need your full help to complete the essence of the Red Dragon Bloodline. ”
At this moment, Leo suddenly remembered Professor Liu, who might never be seen, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, and nodded heavily, "I understand the teacher, I will definitely do my best to help you complete it!"
"Good, good, good!" the old mage rubbed Leo's head with joy, "Kid, the next period of time may be very hard, I want you to be prepared." Also, don't tell anyone about it. ”
"Rest assured. Leo was a little uncomfortable, and suddenly remembered something, so he smiled and said, "Teacher, there is your letter, it is in your special mailbox." ”
Seeing Leo smiling strangely, the old mage asked, "My letter, who came from?"
"Magior's headquarters. ”
"Is it ......?"
"Yes, teacher. ”
............
A moment later, Byron was holding "The Light of Magic", almost trembling, old tears, and then he laughed hoarsely: "Hahaha, I really didn't expect it, my name really appeared on it, this life is worth it!"
found that the teacher was quite excited, although Leo was happy for him, he was also afraid that something would happen to him, after all, he was so old and still had injuries on his body.
He congratulated him, and quickly changed the subject: "Teacher, why does that ice look a little strange, why doesn't it melt?"
The old mage took a deep breath, finally calmed his mind for the time being, and smiled happily: "Haha, that's a legendary magic eternal frozen ice coffin, of course it won't melt." I paid for this magic scroll in exchange for a pretty good Epic Ring, but at least I didn't lose all my money. ”
"It's legendary magic, no wonder this young red dragon has been preserved so well, and now it's not much different from being alive. Leo was secretly surprised and asked, "Then how did you get it out?" ”
The old mage coughed for the third time, and also showed fatigue, closed the magic iron door, and said, "Of course there is a way, but this one is not busy for now, and I will study the notes thoroughly." By the way, how did you do with those papers I gave you?"
Leo secretly said that it was really a coincidence, and as soon as he finished it, the teacher came back. He replied, "It's all done, and it's guaranteed to be exactly right." ”
The old mage nodded, "Bring it to me." ”
Hearing him say this, Leo hesitated, "Teacher, your face is not very good, why don't you take a rest today." ”
"It's okay, I'm a teacher, but I basically haven't fulfilled much responsibility. Byron sighed, carefully put away the "Magic Light", and continued: "Okay, my old bones are still hard, quickly bring the scroll." ”
Leo had no choice but to bring the paper and hand it to Byron, but he was quite moved in his heart, even though the teacher was injured, he was still thinking about his studies.
Byron carefully looked at it, and only after a long time did he be satisfied: "It's really good, you've passed this level." ”
After a pause, the old mage continued, "Now I'm going to start teaching you some basic spell-casting techniques, which will be very beneficial to you in the future. ”
If magic is a person's hand, then the spell-casting technique is to teach people how to clench their hands into fists, and Leo was of course very interested in this, and hurriedly asked, "Teacher, what technique?"
Byron had clearly made a plan, and immediately replied, "Today will start with magic synergies. ”
