  Chapter 711 I am a prophet! (6200)

   Just when the King of the Mountain was communicating with the Extreme Wind Dragon King on the Orbital Dragon Island.

   Terra, Imperial South Ridge.

   Ian is also dealing with dragons.

  Recently, Xiou repaired his dragon lair, and the mountain scenery around Guyan Peak has changed a lot.

  Originally, the surrounding area of ​​Guyan Peak was full of dark clouds, and thunder would often strike the top of the mountain, shining with blazing light, so the mountain people called it Guyan.

But now, layers of white mist permeate the surrounding area of ​​the mountain. It is like the light gray brush strokes in ink painting, outlining the rudiment of a vortex above the lonely flame peak, with light blue arcs flowing in the clouds , Gather the power of nature, gently guide the thunder into the mountain, and turn it into energy.

   It can be seen that on the mountain peak, one or two streaks of spiritual light that are visible to the naked eye light up from time to time, they crisscross the mountain, and finally disappear in the core of the rock formation.

  Guyan Peak was originally stripped of the surface soil due to the recent large storms in the past ten years, and what remained was the strongest rock structure, and these rocks were obviously transformed and became the dragon's lair.

Ian was walking on the mountainside of Guyan Peak, and he observed with great interest the newly transformed strategic location—inside the mountain, Xiou buried many huge structures, just like the one in front of Ian. A metal bulge in the shape of a table bullet, it was a floor vent for a giant pipe.

  The copper pipes are exposed, and from time to time, a milky white, faintly glowing steam gushes out from the inside, straight into the clouds on the top of the mountain, adding to the reuse of energy.

With the Dragon Nest as the center, a small area rich in source quality will be formed. A few years later, Xiou's Dragon Nest will grow many sublimated plants, and even a very special sublimated spirit related to its true dragon characteristics. can plant.

  The technology of the true dragon is far beyond the imagination of many people. Many people who do not know the source of the power of the true dragon will regard the ignorance of the sub-dragon and the barbarism of the half-dragon as the nature of the dragon.

  But in fact, every true dragon has extremely inscrutable technology and wisdom. Even the fifth-generation true dragon like Xiou, the flesh and blood body bred by parents is also the essence of the highest memory.

  Although he did not inherit the wisdom held by his mother, Xiou has learned a lot in the dragon's nest for many years.

   "Maybe I can lure Xiou to the alchemy workshop next time? Adbert has always wanted to see what is going on with the real dragon up close."

  With this in mind, Ian came to the gate of Xiou's dragon lair.

  Compared to the first time, the gate of the dragon's nest this time was closed by a metal gate, and there were two golden crystals at the gate, shining with fiery light.

  Ian was illuminated by this light, and the door opened automatically—he was registered as the highest-level guest, and Dragon Nest would naturally not reject the boy.

  By the way, the king of the mountain has a special authority. Although it is also the highest level, he will make a strong sound almost like an alarm to remind a certain real dragon that his mother is coming.

  Ian came here this time to see how Xiou is recovering recently.

  The redevelopment of Xiou’s body requires a large amount of sublimated metals and special biomass. These mountain kings are responsible for part of it, but as Xiou’s lord and temporary guardian (pleased by the mountain king), Ian is naturally also responsible.

  Sublimation metal is easy to say, and the mountain people can supply it completely. Rather, the mountain people are too used to enshrining a real dragon.

   Even many tribes were moved to tears when they knew that they could actually serve the real dragon, and repeatedly refused the remuneration paid by Ian.

   Money is forced to be stuffed, what is this called.jpg

Of course, this is actually the benefit of Ian's high prestige...Recently, under Ian's tough measures to rectify, all the mountain tribes that once invested in Feiyandi were forcibly split up and centrally managed. And their original wealth and land were divided by Ian and other mountain tribes who supported the empire.

And Ian also brought a lot of modern working tools and alchemy creations to the mountain people. Cheap pyroxene lamps replaced the original kerosene, and roads began to be laid among the various ministries, providing an opportunity for the exchange of materials and Ian The management has brought great convenience.

  With these benefits, and the increasingly elite magnetic storm armor troops in Ian's hands, all the mountain people are managed very well.

   Occasionally, if someone doesn't want to be controlled, then use a big stick to kill a few people to stand up, and the itchy idiot will return to honesty.

  Some of the typical chiefs who had opinions about Ian were even arrested and paraded in the streets, wandering around the gates of each tribe, and then executed after being convicted.

  Although it sounds like a violent reign of terror, it must be explained here: In this world of sublimators, if you don’t show your own violent terror, others will teach you what violent terror is.

   No one really thinks that Huairou and morality can control a group of people whose political system is still in the tribal stage and has sublimated inheritance? That is no longer naive, but stupid.

   As for the defeated mountain people who were centralized management, Ian also knew very well that most of them were ordinary people.

  However, compared to making the mountain people on his side feel uncomfortable, he would rather make the former enemy feel uncomfortable.

But it’s not a big problem. Ian gathered these people around the swamp area in the northwest of the Baisen Mountains to carry out a swamp reclamation and try to grow the raw material of elemental crystallization, the 'Mushroom Mushroom' on a large scale—he will provide sufficient food and tools , Although the public facilities on the housing and land are simple, they are absolutely solid without cutting corners.

  Besides, because these people are defeated and know their status as defeated, Ian has many experimental techniques and management methods that can be used on this group of people who have no and dare not have resistance.

  Perhaps, they were the first to become the true people of Ian.

  The most important thing is that Ian didn't deprive them of their sublimation inheritance, but didn't give them enough wealth to become sublimators.

  For the mountain people, this is nothing but deprivation of all past wealth, but the glory is still there. The messenger of the Dragon God promised that all their sins will be reset to zero, and all accumulation will start again.

  Reasonable punishment is almost like a gift.

  In short, with the arrival of the new year, the mountain people also ushered in a more hopeful day visible to the naked eye. They willingly worshiped the heir of the king of the mountain, the real dragon who could bring them peace.

   And Xio didn't do nothing.

  Besides casting the nest, he also helped Roland and the dwarf team who were surveying the terrain around the Gap—Xio was not the kind of high-ranking character, and he would act when he heard Roland's call for help.

As a result of Xiou's attack, three jungles were burned, four small hills were dug up, an entire group of pinecone wild boars were eaten, and a large number of magical beasts were driven away. Roland even said casually, "this A large pit fifty meters deep was dug where the foundation could be dug a little deeper.

To be honest, as an outsider who has never seen a dragon, Roland's view of Xiou is full of awe - he planned to take a few months to complete the initial exploration of the Gap, but under the power of the real dragon, it accelerated to the end of the month. to the point where it can be done.

Why?

  The woods were burnt out, the hills were flattened, the beasts disappeared, and the complex terrain became flat... If this exploration still takes time, he must be cheating on his salary!

  This is the power of a real dragon. It's terrifying. A whole engineering team can't match it. This is the sentiment expressed by Roland's dwarf brother, and he called the workload of one Siou a month as one dragon force, and used it to evaluate the efficiency of the major engineering teams he knew.

   Now Siou has become a unit of measurement.

From this point of view alone, Ian can actually infer that Xiou's recent recovery must be quite good, and because the recovery is very good, he uses his strength with all his strength, just like a blind man who recovers his eyes and goes out to travel every day. In the scene, the deaf man listens to the original soundtrack every day after recovering his hearing.

  Since this is the case, then Ian has to put forward a brand new opinion for Xiou...

  According to the information he knew in the steel dragon's lair, the true power of the true dragon can only be fully displayed at the fourth energy level.

  For the true dragon transformed from the tinder, this power is the embodiment of the truly powerful civilization power in the tinder, but the fifth-generation true dragon like Xiou seems to have another model.

   "The original ancestors of the first generation of dragons are obviously the 'tools' created directly by the 'creator'. The power they hold is unimaginable, and even the stars can be shattered."

Ian murmured in his heart: "And the second generation, there is a high probability that the creators determined the functions in advance, and the 'auxiliary tools' conceived by the ancestor true dragon, they present a form between machinery and biology, with Its power is also extremely powerful, and it was the first and second generation true dragons that jointly created the third generation of fire seed true dragon."

"What happened between the third-generation true dragon and the fourth-generation true dragon, I don't know, and neither does the steel dragon, but the fourth-generation true dragon, the King of the Mountain, has completely turned into life, and can even directly Use your own body to parthenogenetically breed the fifth-generation true dragon, that is, Xio."

"If the king of the mountain has the power of fire, where does it come from? Even the true dragon does not have so much fire, and it has been consumed after the third generation of true dragons, and Xiou is even more powerful. Possesses the power of fire."

   "The dragon of the virtual world, the advanced tips given by the silver chip... This kind of power is not so much the power of the 'fire seed', but rather the extreme display of the 'dragon blood power' of a real dragon adapting to any environment."

  Ian guessed that just like the Terra civilization has been trying to learn from the real dragons, and even 'capture' their power, the real dragons are also learning the technology of the Terra civilization.

  The development and sublimation of the power of his own blood is quite like a Terra sublimator.

  In order to confirm this guess, Ian came here.

   "Siou?"

  The Dragon Nest is located deep in the mountainside, but it leads directly to the entrance and exit. Ian saw the scene of Siou's real body crawling in the nest in the center of the Dragon Nest at a glance, and then he knew it clearly: "This is driving the prosthetic body."

Even real dragons are not perfect in everything. The simplest thing is that the real dragon's real body is too big, and it is very troublesome to do experiments and actions. Therefore, real dragons have developed prosthetic bodies based on the particularity of their souls. This technology, instead of their real body action work.

  For example, in the depths of Xiou's dragon lair, there are several laboratories and rest rooms dedicated to prosthetic body operations. Building this kind of room is not a lot of trouble for the dragon, but it can enjoy a lot of convenience, which is very cost-effective.

Since the real body is 'sleeping', it proves that Xiou's prosthetic body is concentrating on doing some very important things, and Ian did not deliberately wake up the other party's real body, but went to the prosthetic body laboratory and knocked on the door: "Xiou , I need to find you."

   "Eh? Ian is here!"

  At this moment, an energetic voice can be heard, with a little accent in the common language, and a little taste of the northern people: "Come in, come in, I have something good to show you!"

  Ian frowned slightly. He vaguely remembered that the accent of the red-haired elf woman before Xiou seemed to be from Canaan Moore, and the accent of the red-haired mountain man was not from the north... Did he change the prosthetic body again?

   Still, good stuff?

  With curious thoughts, Ian opened the door and walked into Xiou's prosthetic body laboratory.

   Then he saw a face.

  A familiar face.

   Ian's own face.

   "..."

Ian raised his eyelids slightly. Although he had expected it a long time ago, he was still a little surprised when he saw it—the red-haired dragon girl was wearing a white-gold long dress, revealing her fair arms and slender collarbone, and her head of flaming long hair It falls quietly, not like a flame, but like blood ice, giving it a crystal clear and ethereal inspiration.

  And a silver-black dragon scale pendant hung on the slender neck, making the skin whiter.

   And Dragon Girl's eyes are not light blue like Ian's, but bright golden like the sun.

Xiou is obviously adjusting his prosthetic body. On the whole, the face made with Ian as a model is more indifferent and ascetic than the face made with Anfa as a model before, probably because of the impression Ian gave him That's it.

But it’s not necessarily—Anfa was originally a very calm person, but he can show Xiou a naive look. It can only be said that the appearance comes from the heart, even if it is the same face, the essence originating from the core is still hidden. Can't live.

   "How is it, does it look like it!"

Xiou was looking at a surrounding mirror excitedly, she turned her head to look at Ian, and after looking at the boy's face for a while, she was a little dejected: "Ah, what's going on... It seems to be very similar, But when I really saw my own face, I felt that I didn't grasp the essence at all..."

   "Lack of this temperament, it's just plain good-looking!"

"Of course." Ian complained: "In addition to my face, you also changed it to red hair, added elf ears, and colored contact lenses... And if I were a woman, I wouldn't wear this evening dress The same long skirt, at most it is a white laboratory robe, or an alchemist robe."

   "Add too many elements, conflict with each other, or influence each other. Naturally, it has nothing to do with me, but your own aesthetics."

   "Yes." After thinking for a while, Xiou couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "Then what do you think of my aesthetics?"

   "Your aesthetics are quite similar to my former boss."

Ian commented succinctly, and Xiou asked curiously: "What? He also likes pointy ears, or fluorescent pupils? Personally, I prefer to add a tail and dragon horns, but it doesn't look like that." It’s so human, it’s hard to walk in the human world, I can only walk around the mountain people..."

   "No. I'm just talking about redheads."

  Ian and Xiou chatted about the red-haired pure-love Viscount Grant, and successfully turned the topic to another world—Xio actually understood Viscount Grant very well, because the same is true for dragons.

  But soon, Ian changed the topic: "I don't mind if you use my face as a prosthetic body model, anyway, other people can tell that it's not me, but..."

  He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Xiou and his brother-sister faces, and said thoughtfully: "It's better to say, if you can tell it's me, it will be useful..."

"interesting!"

  Thinking of this, Ian suddenly became interested. He pointed to the hair and asked Xiou: "Can the hair color be changed?"

   "Of course, just adjust it."

  Xio shook his head cheerfully, and then his long, bright red blood-ice hair turned into pure white—although it was slightly different from Ian's hair color, generally speaking, it was invisible to ordinary people at a glance.

   And, if you want to adjust it, you can adjust it to be exactly the same in no time.

   "What about the color of the eyes?" Ian's eyes lit up, and he asked again.

   And Xio blinked, and immediately changed into the same water-colored eyes as Ian.

   Now, from a distance, they really look like a pair of brother and sister.

"very good!"

  Ian stood up, and now he was really happy: "Xio, I need your help with a favor!"

   "It's definitely okay to help, but let me tell you in advance that I can't learn your usual manners—I can't adapt to your living habits either!"

Xiou is not stupid. He guessed Ian's purpose from the very beginning... It was nothing more than letting the dragon use a prosthetic body as a substitute for him. This kind of thing has happened in history. There was once a king who asked himself His real dragon friend replaced him on the battlefield as the central army to suppress the morale of the army, and he himself led the elite sublimator team to raid the enemy's rear.

   But this kind of thing rarely happens... because you can get a real dragon to pretend to be a substitute for you, so why not let the real dragon directly crush the opponent? The disguised king didn't know the identity of the other party's real dragon back then, and thought it was just a sublimator who disguised himself very well, and the real dragon didn't want to reveal his true identity, so it happened.

Xiou is naturally happy with Ian's commission, but if he is asked to learn Ian's living habits, that's not an option. Absolutely not!

"unnecessary."

  Ian shook his head slightly: "I definitely don't have much time for you to disguise my identity. Even if there is, you just need to stay in the laboratory, pretend that you are doing experiments, and show up occasionally, so you won't be seen through."

   "As for the work, I will definitely tell Scott and the others to do it in advance, just treat it as if I am retreating in the laboratory, and it will not be troublesome at all."

   "No problem."

Xiou readily agreed that he didn't think it was a difficult task - on the contrary, he was more interested in what Ian had to leave the territory: "But the development of your territory in recent years has been very Are you busy? Do you really have time to go out? I can just help you pretend, I can’t help you with real work.”

  Ian shook his head slightly: "I don't know what it is, but I know it will definitely happen. Apart from anything else, Canaan Moore, if there is something going on in Anfa, I will definitely go."

   "That's what I said."

  Xio was a little puzzled: "Why is it all guesswork like the prophet, but so sure..."

   "I am indeed a prophet." Ian shrugged, while Xiou shook his head: "I know, the prophet who sent down thunder... Wait, were you kidding just now?!"

  Zhenlong's perception of lies and truth is far better than that of ordinary people. She originally thought that Ian was just joking, but later realized that what Ian just said was a frank statement.

   This immediately surprised her.

  —Prophet, this is a prophet! It is even rarer than a real dragon, and there are not many in the entire Terra continent. Even the four major orthodox religions cannot guarantee a stable 100% inheritance of the prophet!

   Actually there is one in front of him? !

"yes."

  Dragon Girl looked at the smiling young man in amazement, and Ian said calmly: "I am a prophet—that's why I can do so many unimaginable things and achieve such incredible achievements."

   "Many people don't know about this, but you are among the first few."

Having said that, Ian slowed down his tone, and he and Xiou looked into each other's eyes, leaving time for the other party to think: "The reason why I tell you now is because I plan to gradually release the rumor that I am a prophet in the recent period—and you , I just foresaw a bit of the future.”

   "Xio, how much do you know about the 'Dragon of the Void'?"

   "The Prophet...The Dragon of the Void..."

  Xio's surprised expression has not completely subsided, she muttered to herself: "No wonder, no wonder you walked so fast in the subspace maze as if you had predicted the future... Oh, you did predict the future!"

"No wonder, I haven't lied to you from the beginning, maybe Anfa too? I said why you have been so calm all the time, even if you are hunted down, you are not afraid at all. So you already knew that Anfa and I would meet Shot!"

   "Okay! I have a prophet friend!"

  Although he had thought a lot, Xiou’s final thought was still fixed on “Good Yeh”—becoming friends with the Prophet is also an unprecedented experience for Zhenlong.

However, her views on the dragon of the void are very vague: "I only heard that when my mother contacted Long Dao decades ago, when I was still resting in the dragon's lair, the void dragon Tianyu Ramirton had passed away. He passed away, without descendants and successors, and the inheritance vacancy left by him needs to be recovered by the surrounding real dragons in the past."

  “In the beginning, my mother was unwilling to go to take care of me, and I didn’t want him to delay my work for me, so I tried my best to chat with my mother for a while, and then he set out to collect it. Because of this, I remember it very clearly.”

   "Inheritance?"

  Hearing this, Ian couldn't help frowning.

  Void Dragon, maybe it is the name of the Dragon of the Void Realm on the side of the real dragon, or the name of that generation of Dragons of the Void Realm... It seems that this real dragon has existed for a long time, but has no one inherited it?

   Could it be said that the power obtained by the fifth generation true dragon after reaching the fourth energy level is related to this kind of inheritance from the previous generation?

   It doesn't feel like...or, it shouldn't be completely related. The inheritance must have something to do with the power of the fifth or even the fourth generation of true dragons, but it's not all.

  For some reason, Ian suddenly saw the dark golden dragon that he had seen on the road to spiritual disaster.

  A real dragon that is so powerful that it can break through the gravity of the solar system and go to the starry sky of the universe...if it is a real dragon of the new generation.

   Then, whose power did He inherit?
