Chapter 545
The secret art country is called a country, but in fact it is a city-state scattered all over the place.

Different city-states maintain independence and autonomy, but they will build shrines for the messengers of the gods to express their loyalty and belief in this powerful god.

On the secular level, each city-state has different secret arts organizations behind it, and these are the core of the city-state's ability to gather population and stabilize.

There are many old god beliefs in the Mystic Kingdom, and many worship customs and sacrificial traditions are even far before civilizations, even earlier than the messengers of the gods ruled here.

The base camp of "Sihai Temple" is in Longqi Island, one of the city-states, and the large islands nearby belong to the territory of Longqi Island.The climate here is warm, and it is also close to the mainland. It is the main settlement of the dragon descendants of the secret art country.

Kenshin is here for the second time.

The first time he came, he met Ao Chen, the dragon girl who was walking on the waves, and brought her from here to the Kingdom of Resurrection. The two spent a year of sweet journey together.

But in the end Ao Chen chose to return to Longqi Island.

"I like you, but I love my hometown even more. If you don't want to stay here, then we will meet again!"

Having said that, the proud dragon girl is still in touch with Kenshin.

Jianxin will send some of the crystals and trustees he took to Longqi Island to her, and Ao Chen will also give back Longqi Island's specialty isinglass.

In the past five years, the main island has become much more lively.

Lu Yao looked around.

There was a team by the beach, they were wearing uniform leather armor, and they were inspecting the docked ships, looking like preventing fires and checking contraband.

There are also more boats on the pier.

Most of the ships unfurled the dragon flag of Longqi Island and the double snake flag symbolizing the Republic of Two Snake Merchants.Goblin traders chatted with each other on the shore, while sailors cleaned decks and cables.

Three bone mage towers were built at the dock, and their firepower covered the entire pier.

The long embankment made of stone slabs is full of small vendors.They sell local seafood to travelers and merchants, and the most common ones are those yellow fish maws—but most of them are inferior products that fool outsiders.

……

"There are a lot more bones ancestors."

Jian Xin picked up the weather collector Jing Xiang, and took a picture of the pier.

"Longqi Island has introduced a lot of Bone Ancestor workers from the Resurrection Kingdom. They are reliable and never lazy. They can also repair and operate the Bone Mage Tower. This place has officially become one of the cooperative trade ports of the Republic of Two Snakes. The Yao people like our isinglass, black pearls, scallops, and dried seaweed..."

"In the kingdom of secret arts, our place has become more and more important."

The dragon girl talked endlessly about the changes in her hometown.

Kenshin followed her all the way along the main road to the center of the island, where a magnificent single-story building with cornices stood.

The four walls are painted red, while the roof of the house maintains the unique tile structure here.There is a wooden plaque on the top of the gate above the steps, with the words "Sihai Temple" written on it.

"Light an incense first."

Long Nu took out a stick of incense from her bag and handed it to Jian Xin.

Kenshin is also very familiar with this.

Together with Long Nu, he walked to the huge stone incense burner in front of the steps, lit the incense with the candle next to it, then placed it respectfully in front of the Four Seas Temple, and then inserted the incense into the burner.

Jian Xin and Long Nu entered the temple slowly and orderly along with the worshiping islanders.

Walking to the long table for worship, Jian Xin stared blankly.

There is a stone statue enshrined in the middle of the temple, with dragon horns on its head and no facial features carved, which looks a bit primitive.This is the old god belief preserved in Sihai Temple, Long Zu.

It is said that Dragon Ancestor is a statue left by the dragon gods and dragon kings. He represents many dragon gods and is also the protector of dragons, sub-dragons and dragon descendants.

What surprised Jian Xin was that there was still a statue of Yao on the left side of the Dragon God.

"This……"

Kenshin was a little puzzled.

The temple is the traditional belief of the Sihai Temple, and there is also a Messenger Temple on the other side, which is dedicated to a group of gods headed by the Messenger of the Gods.

Sihai Temple has always been only for the Dragon Ancestor.

Ao Chen said in a low voice: "Lord Yao God has another identity, he is the protector of the Dragon Clan and the main god followed by the Black Dragon King, so everyone thinks it is no problem to enshrine next to the Dragon Ancestor. For Yao God, everyone is also sincerely convinced, Because Master Yao has never excluded other gods."

She clasped her hands together and knelt down to Long Zu.

Jian Xin also went to the countryside to do as the Romans did.

After completing the traditional ceremony, Ao Chen got up slowly, took Jian Xin around to the side behind the statue, and gave the worship cushion to the latecomers.

She said: "There was a rumor before that that the "Black Temple" had offended God Yao.Some people also suspected that the invisible dragon was the Black Dragon King. "

Dragon King Pasha is a legendary creature familiar to the Yao people.

But Jian Xin couldn't help questioning: "As far as I know, the Black Dragon King has been cultivating dragon descendants in Shacheng. I saw the Dragon King flying through the fog in the old city. How could he come to the Secret Art Kingdom?"

"of course not."

Ao Chen shook his head: "Although I haven't seen the Black Dragon King, I have seen other dragon descendants in Longqi Island. The Black Dragon King's style is dignified and upright, and he never hides his identity. This time the evil dragon is completely different. He is elusive, and It is highly targeted. So far, only the altars and underground temples of the "Black Temple" have been destroyed. "

"One more thing, the evil dragon has already arrived at Longqi Island."

……

After praying, Ao Chen took Jian Xin to a nearby island, where traces of the Dragon Clan were left.

Those huge and vague paw prints sank into the ground, which seemed to be done on purpose, like a direct declaration to the outside world: I am here!

Kenshin lifted the weather picker Jing Xiang, and fixed the huge footprints on the ground.

"In the past two years, such traces have spread all over the islands near Longqi Island."

Ao Chen said: "Everyone is a little panicked, and many people speculate that the "Sihai Temple" may be the next to be attacked. "

The dragon girl's voice became low and low: "It seems that there are still many people, but in fact, many dragon descendants have left in various ways."

"We don't know anything about this old god, and Lord Seven Siren didn't show any worries. He just notified us through the apostles, asking us to pray in front of the statue if we encounter any abnormalities... If this continues, I can only left. Can I come to your place?"

"of course."

Jian Xin suddenly felt a little weird.

He carefully observed the paw prints on the ground inside and out.

There is something wrong with this thing.

"wrong."

Jian Xin jumped into the dragon's paw print, picked up a branch, pointed to the edge and said, "Look, the trace is wrong."

"The specimens of red dragons, green dragons, and blue dragons in White Castle are comparable to replica specimens. According to the newly added "Common Sense" in "Introduction to Dragon Language Vocabulary", normal dragons, whether they are alien blood dragons or deposed dragons, dragon claws Usually there are three to five claws, and if the dragon claws touch the soil or clay, the marks left should be the deepest at the joints of the bone claws, and slightly shallower in other places."

"If the dragon's body is just invisible, and the arrival of such a large dragon family, the surrounding trees should be swept down a lot, and the ground should have signs of being crushed and run over."

"But there are none here. There are only very uniform but fuzzy traces of the five claws. According to the normal characteristics of the dragon clan, this is still the highest-ranking dragon clan... These are not in line with common sense."

Ao Chen was stunned when he heard this: "Why do you know this? It feels like you know more about the Dragon Clan than I do."

"Because we "Old God Society" have been studying these things all the time. "

Jian Xin said casually: "There are people who study dragons, people who specialize in trace science, people who test various miracles and supernatural powers, and people who collect folk information everywhere...Many of them are professionals in various fields, which is normal. Don't you really feel something is wrong?"

Ao Chen asked: "Then this paw print was not directly stepped on by the dragon, so what's the problem? It can be completely crushed by the divine power in the air."

"differ greatly."

Jian Xin looked at the deep marks on the ground and said seriously: "This shows that the dragon probably has no entity, not even a dragon."

"The Old Gods have encountered many such situations. A man saw a strange mark in the wheat field. The mark crushed the wheat field and disappeared all the way into the distance. But later I realized that it was a large flying boat flying over the wheat field. traces."

"I also saw a phenomenon that was suspected to be an old god in the desert. Later, I consulted Lord Slymode, and only then did I learn that it turned out that Lord Wuji was staying there at that time."

"A lot of times, external images can cloud our judgment."

He remembered his father's words.

The image we put on is how we look to other people.

In other words.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Jian Xin's mind: "This is an image deliberately created by the old god. He wants us to see him as a powerful dragon. But for some reason, he is not, or not yet. "

This conclusion puzzled Ao Chen: "If that's the case, why?"

"I don't know. But apart from the dragon's claws, is there anything special here, or something that hasn't been seen before?"

Ao Chen thought for a while: "If you put it this way, there will be more birds where the dragon claws appear, and these flocks will fly around."

"You take me to see."

A month later, Kenshin sent the crystal images of the birds, the soil collected at the scene, and his own speculations to Maji, a red-haired potion master who also belonged to the "Old God Society".

Soon, Maji replied.

"Brother Jianxin, your investigation is invaluable. I have fully understood what you mean. According to the appraisal of relevant experts from White Castle, a large number of traces of wind and water elements were found in the dragon claw soil you sent."

"This is the effect of a special ability, or it may be the mark left after the miracle unfolded. I look forward to meeting you as soon as possible."

Jian Xin led Ao Chen all the way to the royal city of the Resurrection Kingdom.

As soon as the red-haired Maji saw Jianxin, a smile appeared on his anxious face, and he quickly walked over and grabbed him: "That's great, as long as you're fine, as long as you're fine!"

"I'm fine." Jian Xin nodded.

Ao Chen's body froze suddenly, as if he was fixed by some kind of force.

There was a strange look on her face: "What are you doing? What's wrong with me?"

Jian Xin retreated to a safe place, and said calmly: "You are not Ao Chen."

"Ao Chen will not think about leaving Longqi Island in any situation. She will try her best to face difficulties."

"One more thing, my [Charm Technique] has worked on you. But you are close to me in action, but you are completely divided and calm in your words. You have controlled Ao Chen. Although I don't know who you are, but The trace of the dragon claw should be related to you."

Ao Chen stared at Jian Xin, and said with a strange face: ""Old God Society"...Where are you sacred? "

"It's just a researcher of the old gods out of interest."

Jian Xin said in a deep voice: "Now, please leave Ao Chen's body."

A circle of light suddenly appeared in the air.

Ao Chen suddenly raised his head, with a look of hatred on his face.

"Dragon rope!"

"You were hiding here!"

"No matter where you hide in the ends of the earth, I will make you pay for your teeth with blood!"

A black shadow flew out of Longnu's body, turning into a crane and wrestling with the golden circle of light in the air.

Jian Xin couldn't help worrying for a while: "Is there anything wrong?"

"rest assured……"

Maggie opened her mouth, but was suddenly speechless.

Instead, there was a heavy and penetrating sound, as if all the air nearby was compressed and solidified by the muffled sound. The oppressive feeling of annihilation made everyone's body stiff and their brains completely blank.

Some kind of black shadow appeared in the sky, like a cloud of erratic shadows, or some invisible monster distorted by light.

The crane in the air suddenly trembled, fell from the sky and knelt down.

"Real..."

Immortal Crane's voice trembled: "Master, please forgive Xiaodao for being impolite. Xiaodao is under the command of Master Huanglong, and he just wants to avenge Master Huanglong and the dragon rope. It is definitely not an offense to Master. Please punish Master."
