Chapter 69: Mutation
"Then why has Reeth been sleeping?" Dearlando immediately asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment, "Could it be that Feckelen's pollution has also had a serious impact on its spirit body?"
"That's not it, it's now seriously disproportionate to physical and mental growth. Normal young dragons will pass the tests of the Chaos Layer and the Evolution Layer before the first stage, and the three layers of matter, life, and consciousness in the second stage. The third stage passes through the Wisdom and Civilization layer, and the fourth stage reaches the Leap Layer. However, it is still a young dragon in the first stage, but it has already entered the second stage of testing, and its spirit body has grown too large, and staying awake for a long time will make the young body unable to bear the load. ”
Diarlando was taken aback when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Doesn't that Reeth have to pass the challenge immediately, otherwise there will be danger." ”
"Well, that's why I'm going to forcibly kick you back from the Dragon Realm, if you continue to let you go all the way, Reseth's spirit body will tear apart the existing body, and its rebirth will fail. ”
"So what can I do now?" Dearlando held the little baby dragon in his palm, but could do nothing but pet it himself.
Marty Ryan snorted coldly and said, "Sleep, recharge your batteries." The Island of Trials can be a long challenge, especially since you're going to face two trials in a row, and my advice to you is not to give up your chance to recuperate when you can eat and rest, as once you're in the Trials, you'll barely have any respite. ”
When Diarrando heard this, he hurriedly asked flatteringly: "Then can you tell me about the trial?" ”
"Hmph. Thinking beautifully, how can I help you cheat. After dropping this sentence, Marty Ryan's voice never sounded again, as if the gem dragon with a fierce face but a good heart had withdrawn from consciousness.
"Hey...... I already knew to ask something else. Diarlando scratched his hair in frustration, and finally decided to go to bed early to recharge his batteries, as the founder had instructed. The tiredness of his body came up the moment he lay on the bed, directly drowning his consciousness. Before he could move his legs completely, he fell straight into a dreamless slumber.
More than a thousand miles away, Ruidan had just received an urgent secret message from Hovland's Falcon on the White Moody. I learned that my brother would arrive in the early hours of the morning. On the one hand, he was surprised that Dearrando had completed the purification ritual so quickly, but on the other hand, he was surprised that the letter mentioned that they had sailed directly from the eastern city of Hovland on the airship of the Elven royal family.
You must know that Dearlando has only been on for five days. He had already crossed the whole of Hovland. The route of this movement is a little too strange. And he also received messages from the spy one after another. I talked about the encounter with pirates and the explosion of the Great Council. It seems that this same journey is very uneventful, and there are a lot of new problems.
Even so, Ruidan was able to endure the uneasiness in his heart. Sent the news to Governor Shakkorin and told him to arrange the landing privileges in the port.
Ruidan now lives in the Doge's palace in White Moody so that he can keep an eye on Fekelen and take care of Elena. The clock was already in the middle of the night, and he picked up the lamp, put on his guards and priests, and went on his last patrol of the day.
As usual, he made his way through three levels to the underground cell sealed by holy water, and checked all the spells. The light could not penetrate the liquid mixed with the holy water and black oil, and the calm and waveless water seemed to be as usual.
As Ruidan was about to turn around and leave, his eyes swept to the water's edge, and something seemed to reflect slightly. He immediately recited a lighting spell and sent the orb of magic light deep into the dungeon.
As the ball of light approached what he had just seen, it was suddenly shot down by something like a slender rattan. Everyone saw purple-black vines climbing from the bottom to the walls before the ball of light went out.
"Oh no! There was a change in the things below, and immediately sealed off the place completely with sand and stones, and retreated to the upper floors. Ruidan immediately gave the order, and his attendants immediately ran back to Shakolin to arrange for the craftsmen to seal the door. He carefully recited another lighting spell and looked at the dark stagnant water from afar.
After a while, Shakolin arrived with a large number of men and horses, dressed in soft armor. Originally, the Governor's Palace was equipped with a large number of emergency supplies and personnel these days, and as soon as they arrived, they immediately blocked this passage with sandbags and muddy stones, and as the seal was closed, the ominous pool of black water and strange plants under the water gradually disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Ruidan's cleric troops also arrived urgently, bringing with them a large number of forbidden charms, which they kept adding to the sand as the workers worked. These spells have a powerful effect on the interference and suppression of magic, and the wall built in this way is a very strong sealing wall. Shakolin even brought in the latest Demon Sealing Blackstone researched by the Royal Academy of Technology for the final reinforcement.
It took most of the night to complete the blockade of the two underground floors. Finally, the tired Ruidan looked at the dark wall and sighed and said to Shakolin: "I don't know how long I can last, I just hope that the eldest brother will come back soon." ”
"Well, His Highness Diarlandor will be here in two or three hours, Your Highness Ruidan, you better go and rest first, I'll watch here." "The direct army of the Shark Knight is stationed around the hall where the staircase leading to the ground is located. The comfortable tables and reclining chairs that I have brought in myself intend to observe closely.
Ruidan nodded: "I'll trouble you here, I have to go to the tower to see another one." He understood that if something happened to Fekelen, who was locked up underground, then it would be difficult to guarantee that Elena Buck, who was associated with Fecalen, would not have a problem.
Fortunately, when he hurried to the tower, everything was normal. In the end, he left behind an extra team of priests, and after intensifying surveillance, he finally had the opportunity to return to his room.
He looked at the time, and it wasn't long before Deerlando's airship was about to arrive, so he hastened to report everything that had happened today to King Leighton. On the projection surface of the magic crystal of the messenger, the white-haired old king also looked like he hadn't slept all night. He also learned from the secret agent that Diarrando was in Hovland, and the Western Front had been tight recently, so he didn't sleep all night.
"Got it...... For now we can only do everything we can, and the rest depends on whether the favor of the goddess Mona is still in the land of Turanda. Don't tell him about the situation on the Western Front, he just needs to concentrate on what is at hand. You too, help him well. With that, Layton cut off the communication.
Ruidan talked softly, asked the guards to bring a basin of clean water, wiped his face, and then hurried to the artist's dock without stopping. Next to that pier there is a landing pad for the Sky Airship that is activated under special circumstances, and at the moment Dearlando's airship has to land directly, only to dock there.
The color of the sky gradually brightened a little, and it was no longer dark blue. In the early morning, the mist of the harbor covered the whole city, and Bai Modi had not yet woken up, and the only sound of his own group and wheels was on the empty carriage road.
When they arrived at the Artist's Wharf, the eastern sky was gradually brightening a little, and looking southeast from the port, a beautifully shaped sky airship was approaching here at high speed.
Before the airship could get close to the distance of five miles, they suddenly saw something fall out of the airship, and then soon the figure of the young dragon appeared in mid-air. The young dragon did not fly towards the dock, but circled slightly in the sky, and then flew straight towards the mountain peak behind the Golden Dome Palace.
Dearlando was awakened in the early morning by Reseth, and the young dragon didn't know when he woke up, arching his ears to eat. He quickly got up, took out the space ring, and poured the pure magic crystal directly onto the bed.
The young dragon hurriedly pounced, gulping it up, and kept enlarging his body in order to eat more. Seeing that there was a little light outside, Diarrando leaned closer to the window to see that Bai Modi, who had been absent for many days, had appeared in front of him, and thinking that the clues would only work at sunrise in the morning, he immediately opened the door and rushed to the door of the cantu room diagonally opposite the door, and knocked hard.
"Mr. Cantu, we're here? it's almost sunrise, and we'll have to wait another day if we miss it. After knocking twice and there was no response, he simply dismantled the door with all his strength, strode in, and didn't care about etiquette or anything, and "invited" Kantu from the bed.
Cantu, who was sleeping naked, was frightened, hurriedly pulled a nightgown and put it on, and complained dissatisfiedly: "What a hurry! You rude and savage fellow." Diarrando looked around, grabbed the engineering glasses case that the elf had left on the small table next to him, and dragged Cantu back to his cabin.
At this time, Reses had already eaten the pure magic crystal that had fallen half of the bed, and was now pouring gems out with his claws holding the ring box. When he saw Diarlando coming back, he immediately put away the space ring, because Diarlando had trained it well before for the problem of stealing food, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak at the moment.
Dearrando didn't care about this now, he took the ring in his bosom, and said to Rieseth, "We're at White Moody, can you get older and take us to the place where we last saw the sunrise?"
The young dragon quickly gathered the gems on the bed, swallowed them in one gulp, and flew out. After they went up to the three-story open-air deck together, they jumped straight from the outside, Cantu was still a little dazed and didn't wake up, but he was still awake when he was dragged down by Dierlando from the airship a few hundred feet above the ground.
After screaming in surprise, Ryses had grown to more than twenty feet at once, and carried the two people firmly on his back, flying towards the top of Qingyu Mountain. (To be continued......)
