Volume 1: The Girl and the White Dragon Chapter 15: The White Dragon is Born
All this is prepared.
Chrissy receives a message from her mother that the only hope to save the ruined Lanyel family is to go to the Twilight City auction house and buy the unknown Elder Dragon Egg.
As the last witch of the Lanyere family and the chief astrologer of the Wilton court, her mother used the [Prophet] to arrive at results, which Chrissy would not want to question.
In her mother's prophecy, Chrissy's life will be long and winding, and she will lose her peaceful life as a result.
But how can our Chrissy be willing to live an ordinary life? Chrissy, who has always called herself the witch and head of the Lanyere family, knows that she is different from birth.
A girl with the blood of a witch and a natural talent for magic would be willing to be ordinary?
Magic represents miracles, and if this is ordinary, she is equivalent to throwing away a miracle that could have been saved. Especially after encountering those two killers, Chrissy was even more determined in her thoughts.
She can't let her precious things be trampled on at will, and if she wants to protect Dolma, protect those she wants to protect, she needs strength.
"Dolma, how are you feeling?"
Chrissy moved Dolma to a metal platform, and by the light of the overhead lamp, she turned the handle in her hand, and after replacing the broken parts, she assembled the metal parts nested with each other in the missing parts, which was a delicate job, but Chrissy has always been good at it.
"Limb connections are restored, and 7% of energy remains. ”
Dolma's eyes opened, and the fingers of his newly assembled left arm moved, and it seemed that the repair was quite successful.
"Okay, Dolma, you rest first. ”
After putting all the tools back in the toolbox, Chrissy took out a metal rod encrusted with a red gem from a separate iron box and stabbed it in Dolma's chest.
"I use magic stones to charge your core, and you don't have to do anything until the mana energy reaches a safe value, which will affect your core lifespan. ”
"Okay, Miss, please pay attention to your safety during Dolma's absence. ”
With that, Dolma closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
"Alas... I'm sorry, Dolma, it's useless to blame me, it's me who hurt you. ”
Chrissy looked at Dolma, who had been replaced with new parts, and sighed deeply.
These new parts come from the magic puppets that worked in Lanyell Fort before, and there is still a certain gap between the quality of Dolma's originals, and they are also half-used parts, so Dolma's actions will be even more inconvenient than before in the future.
If I'm strong enough, I won't let Dolma get hurt at all.
My destiny is in my own hands!
Chrissy clenched her fists, her nails embedded in the flesh, leaving deep marks.
In order for everything to work her way, she had to gain more power.
And now she's going to have to gain power.
Chrissy first went to her bedroom to change into a robe and hat, and then straightened her appearance in the mirror.
Then come to the dark cellar of the castle and stop in front of a wall with many symbols in the flickering candlelight, and Chrissy reaches out and knocks on the third and second bricks on the left, and on the lower right corner.
Chrissy continued to strike repeatedly, and the symbols on the walls began to light up and connect with each other, and then the carved stone bricks disappeared.
The wall, which seemed to be at least half a foot thick, suddenly left a gap for two adults to pass side by side, and when Chrissy walked in, the vanished stone bricks reappeared, sealing the gap tightly.
This secret room, which is behind the cellar wall, will have such secrecy and protection, and obviously it will not be an ordinary space inside.
This is a shrine, to be precise, a temple dedicated to the 72 demon gods who are considered evil spirits by the world.
The inhuman demon gods carved into the walls were some with angry eyes, some squinted half-closed, and some seemed to be smiling, but what they all had in common was staring directly at Chrissy as she stepped into the temple.
And the demon gods on the walls are just reliefs, all the demon gods surround a single main god, that is, the existence called the demon god king, its shrine is placed on the west wall of the secret room, this demon god sitting on the throne has long horns, scarlet skin, long claws in his right hand supporting his chin, and a human head under his stretched left leg, his slightly open eyes seem to be examining the comer.
Even though Chrissy was bold and had been here once before, she was also inhaled when she saw these eerie demon god statues again.
Is the original belief of the Lanyeer family actually these demon gods that have long been banned?
Chrissy couldn't be sure, as it was never mentioned in the family literature, but there was no doubt that someone in the Lanyel family had tried to borrow the power of the Demon God.
After all, not to mention the Chamber itself, it would take a lot of money and effort to build these reliefs and statues, and it was obvious that no one from outside could do this under the noses of the Lanyeer family.
Of course, it didn't matter if she was dwelling on this now, and by the light of the everlasting lamp in front of the shrine, Chrissy turned her gaze to the giant egg in the circle in the center of the secret room.
"Hoo ......"
After lighting all the candles in the secret room, Chrissy let out a long breath, she stepped forward and patted the rough eggshell of the giant egg, and said in a helpless and somewhat pleading tone:
"Do you know how much effort I went into getting you? Don't let me down!"
This mysterious giant egg, engraved with strange inscriptions, has been in the hands of various collectors many times in the more than 200 years since it was discovered, and many scholars who have begun to study it have not been able to decipher the mystery.
The reason is simple, this giant egg is different from any previous Warcraft egg, and in the recorded research of humans, there is no racial research on this giant egg.
The Elder Dragon Egg, if the true identity of this giant egg is revealed, is enough to make the world boil. The Elder Dragons are completely different from the dragons that can be seen today.
The dragon is a high-level monster at best, and there is an elven nation named Harogas who has made a pact with some dragons so that they can train dragon knights and ride dragons to fight.
The Elder Dragons, on the other hand, were the supreme race that once ruled the entire continent of Pomta, ruling the sky, the earth, and the sea, disdaining to unite with any race, and their image was often indistinguishable from that of gods in legends.
The current dragon can only be considered a degraded subspecies of the Elder Dragon. After the Elder Dragons disappeared from the world for unknown reasons, the elves, dwarves, humans and other races began to rise gradually, and the records of the Elder Dragons were basically only folk songs and legends.
Of course, this is only information that ordinary humans can grasp.
The first witch of the Lanyeer family domesticated a giant dragon, and she had made many transactions with the dragons, and she also left the Lanyeer family a lot of unknown research about the dragons, including records of the ancient dragons.
"Elder dragon eggs must be in a 'safe' environment before they hatch. ”
Chrissy flipped through a notebook with rolled pages as she began to adjust the arrangement of the circle.
Although she had read the notebook given by her mother that recorded the hatching process of the Elder Dragon Egg countless times, and she had memorized the contents of it, Chrissy still did not dare to make the slightest mistake.
"I don't know if it's 'safe' here. ”
Chrissy chose this chamber and nearly didn't collapse the dome when she used levitation to move it in.
In addition to following her mother's advice, Chrissy also took a fancy to the magic in this secret room that was stronger than the outside, as well as the concealment of the secret room itself.
Infant dragons are recorded to be very sensitive to the outside world, and this ancient, confined space should be preferred by young dragons living in dragon eggs.
Of course, the eggs of the ancient dragons engraved with dragon inscriptions will not be awakened so easily, and the young dragons in the eggshell will still be dormant after they are fully developed.
Carving dragon inscriptions on eggshells is actually a fairly old protection measure, and some dragons now use them for newly produced dragon eggs.
This secret technique comes from the Elder Dragon, which was created to ensure the safety of the baby dragon when it was not yet growing, so that its cub would not be killed by the only natural enemy of the Elder Dragon, the Giants.
In addition to reinforcing the eggs, the dragon inscriptions carved by adult dragons with dragon teeth can also shield the original appearance of the creatures in the dragon eggs, and at the same time, they will also allow the young dragons that can actually come out of their shells to continue to sleep in the dragon eggs.
"The fog is up!
After placing a mirror on each side of the circle so that she could see all the dragon characters on the dragon egg, Chrissy activated the circle.
The giant egg was surrounded by a warm mist, and the dragon inscription engraved on it began to glow.
"Hah! it worked!"
Chrissy watched the eggshell change, and her heart was excited.
The function of this tide circle is to simulate the humid environment of the dragon's nest, giving the dragon eggs a moderate amount of dampness and heat, so that the inner young dragon feels that the outside is comfortable and familiar, and it does not have the ability to break this dragon secret art.
After all, the process of hatching dragon eggs cannot rely only on external forces, and it is actually the young dragons themselves who want to break out of the shell.
If the baby dragon is unwilling to come out of its shell, then it is useless to use any means, and forcibly breaking the eggshell will only kill it.
So what Chrissy is doing here is inducing, she is trying to make the young dragon in this egg feel the warmth of "home".
After hundreds of years in the hands of various people, and a series of studies conducted by people, the young dragons inside the dragon eggs must have been frightened a lot, and then judged that the outside world is unsafe, so they will never come out of the shell.
With pity for the young dragon, Chrissy drank a bottle of black-red potion, and then began to chant at the dragon on the eggshell.
The way to unravel this secret technique is as simple as reading the dragon text on the dragon egg. However, this is not something that ordinary humans can do, because dragon language is a very abstract and extremely complex magical language, and those who know this language are generally called dragon grammarians.
Due to the difference between the vocal organs of the dragon clan and humans, normal humans cannot accurately speak the language of the dragon clan, and the dragon grammar teachers are often descendants of the dragon clan, that is, half-dragon people, in order to learn the dragon language.
And Chrissy does not have the blood of the dragon clan in her body, she has to use foreign objects to recite dragon texts, and the potion she drank just now is made of dragon lin's powder, which can make Chrissy's vocal organs change in a short period of time, that is, "dragonization".
Now Chrissy's voice is ethereal and rich, like a high-pitched female singer, in fact, even a human with a unique talent in voice can hardly produce Chrissy's current voice.
Chrissy slowly recited the dragon text on it word by word, in fact, Chrissy didn't know dragon language, what she did now was to follow the pronunciation method marked on the notebook, and began to chant the dragon text on it as much as possible. Since Zhuyin is actually still in accordance with human pronunciation habits, there is still a certain gap between it and the real dragon language, so Chrissy can only continue to explore, relying on language sense and luck to produce standard dragon language.
If you say it right, the light on that dragon character will be dimmed, and if you say it wrong, you will have to start all over again.
From the beginning to the present, Chrissy has made several mistakes, forty-two characters, and the longest is the twelfth.
"Quint... Huh?"
Chrissy, who had a dry mouth, found that her voice had returned to its original state, so she had to drink the bitter potion again, and after her throat had survived a pinprick pain, she continued to chant the dragon script.
It's a boring and long job, and Chrissy is very confused, can she really unlock the secret of sealing the dragon's egg and gain the approval of this young dragon?
She didn't know, but she knew she had no choice but to continue.
In order to buy the dragon egg, she had mortgaged the title deed of Lanyer Castle, and in a month, she would have to leave the castle where she had lived for more than fourteen years.
If she can't hatch this dragon egg, or if she fails to sign a blood contract later, she will have no way back.
Coupled with the fact that she is still being hunted by a group of killers who came from nowhere, she must gain the power of the dragon, otherwise she will not only be unable to protect her love, but she will not be able to realize her dreams, and she will even put her own life on the line.
For Dolma, for the parents who are missing, for their dreams.
She must succeed!
"[Dragon Language: My dear, your bones are plump, and your armor is solid, open your claws, lift your head, and break through this fragile shackles!"
Just when Chrissy drank the fourth bottle of dragon language potion, and the whole person's spirit was in a trance, the last dragon text was finally pronounced by her accurately.
After all the glowing dragons on the giant egg completely dimmed, they suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light, Chrissy closed her eyes, and when she regained her sight again, cracks had already appeared in the eggshell in front of her.
Click... Click...
A sturdy shell fell like an aging wallskin, and at the same time, a white and delicate dragon egg that Chrissy had never seen before appeared in the warm mist, and the elegant and noble life in the shell was slowly squirming in the slightly transparent eggshell.
Cracks slowly appeared in the eggshell, like a fledgling coming out of its shell, and the young dragon inside was using its teeth and claws to break through the eggshell that had trapped it.
"I... Succeeded?!"
