Uplifting Journey

Neither the red dragon nor the elves really understood the process of dragon blood erosion, but it would definitely be useful to dig a hole and throw the test subjects into it and soak it in blood.

With super-precise control and some chemical knowledge accumulated in the past, it is completely easy for Red Dragon to build this small experimental site.

Find a suitable piece of land, burn a big hole with a mouthful of dragon breath, and then carry a few huge rocks over, divide them into various standard cubes with dim red lines under the stunned gaze of the elves, and then combine some auxiliary materials After simply laying a few layers, sinter it with high temperature to make a small watertight pool.

The product quality and life expectancy are not very good, but it is enough.

Witnessing the busyness of the red dragon, the elf Lacey, who was the experimental subject, sighed secretly.

As mentioned before, the magical properties of life are closely related to its spiritual will, and dragon blood erosion will greatly distort the blood and magical properties of life, thereby affecting the spirit of life.

This is very unacceptable to elves who advocate spiritual freedom, so Lacey should have rejected the dragon's proposal.

But on the one hand, the initiative is completely in the hands of the red dragon, and whether the experiment of dragon blood erosion is carried out actually has little to do with Lacey's own wishes.

Lacey knew just thinking about it—with Ivy's personality, after waking up, he would definitely find a way to bring someone back to save him.

Although the red dragon doesn't see any hostility at present, and Lacey doesn't want the two sides to have another conflict, but due to various historical reasons, the possibility of a fight between the elves and the red dragon that came after him is very high.

Letting the red dragon shed some blood in advance can effectively weaken its strength and state before a possible battle takes place-dragon blood erosion is not just a little bit of dragon blood, it needs to consume a certain amount of original power of the dragon, and consumes There is no cap on the amount depending on the erosion depth.

If Lacey's will and carrying capacity are strong enough, it is not impossible for the dragon to bleed profusely. Even if she simply bleeds a little, the effect will be better than nothing.

In this case, Lacey's choice is not difficult to understand.

Regarding Lacey's choice, the Red Dragon was slightly surprised and didn't have any special opinions. Instead, he thought this elf who was outspoken about matters that were harmful to him was very interesting. When digging a hole and burning a small blood pool, I couldn't help reminding him of this problem.

Lacey didn't think that the Red Dragon, who wanted to bleed himself, couldn't consider these things, but the Red Dragon, who had a high degree of control over his body, didn't think a little blood would have any big impact.

During the time of communicating with Lacey, the Red Dragon's abilities in all aspects have undergone earth-shaking changes in the secret element experiment, and the weakening caused by a little blood is insignificant compared to the skyrocketing power.

After all, it is a natural legendary species. Even if some knowledge is missing due to the soul magic reform, the hidden instinct of the dragon body can still support the operation of many unknown forces. Things related to magic power are transparent to the red dragon.

After converting the violently controlled fire element in the body into magic power, how to directly control the external fire element without using the body, how to use the magic power of the fire element to indirectly exert other types of elemental power, and how to transform the elemental magic power into simple material interference power.

This kind of skills that ordinary monsters understand instinctively, after the Red Dragon, whose thinking precision is comparable to that of a computer, used a few small experiments to pierce the thin paper, it is completely a matter of course to completely control it.

Although these basic knowledge cannot make the red dragon an omnipotent great magician immediately, there is no problem in greatly improving its strength and precision.

At least in terms of observation accuracy, the red dragon has broken through the level of the dragon body cells and reached a deeper level, which allowed him to roughly see the ultra-complex structure similar to genes in the cells. The fluctuating genes obviously contain the most fundamental secret of the dragon's blood.

But the complexity of its information is much higher than the genes of ordinary creatures in the inner world. It is impossible to analyze it with the current depth of power and computing power of the red dragon.

After everything was ready, the red dragon checked his observation ability, which was his top priority to research and upgrade, then rubbed his wrist and turned his gaze to the nervous elf, motioning him to take off his clothes and stand in.

"Ah? Clothes, clothes?" Lacey, who was startled, clenched her collar tightly with one hand and stammered, "No, it's not necessary, is it?"

Different types of dragons in different planes have a common hobby - collecting shiny and rare substances, and uh...

The statement that dragons are inherently obscene is supported by various sub-dragon species as actual evidence! I heard that in some planes, even some kobolds have a little bit of dragon veins!

Although the concept of gender does not exist in the elves who rely on the mother tree to breed fruits to create population, they still have shame and excretory holes!

Facing the elf's procrastination, the red dragon snorted softly: "The clothes on your body are specially made, right? If you can completely erase the protective function on them so as not to interfere with my observation, then you can continue to wear them."

However, Lacey, who is insensitive to magic, does not have this ability.

Wandering for a while beside the cold and smooth empty pool, Lacey stomped her feet and gritted her teeth, then tore off her emerald green clothes two or three times and slipped down.

The red dragon looked at the shrunken Lacey, chuckled amidst his embarrassing urging, then turned his neck and bit his wrist, and then the scarlet dragon blood full of fiery magic power completely invaded the fair-skinned elf. dye

After crossing the ice and snow mountains, the size of the trees has been continuously improving, and in the deepest part of the forest, there is a special plant that is as huge as a mountain peak. A labyrinth-like complex internal structure emerged.

This labyrinth with faint light everywhere is the royal city of the elves, a huge plant life with its own consciousness,

And in the center of this elven king's city, there is a wide vertical gap from the ground to the top of the king's city, allowing the untransformed natural skylight to pass through this huge shaft to the ground, turning a pure sky that is abnormally lower than the king's city White trees shrouded it.

This is the original mother tree of the elves, and the integrated simple wooden buildings around it are the temple of the World Tree Sect.

In an inner hall of the World Tree Temple, Ivy, who was a little nervous and dazed, was fidgeting and talking about his experience to a white-robed elf whose silver hair grew to the ground.

"The red dragon flying faster than the sound" After Ivy's report, the white-robed elf unconsciously rubbed the book in his hand, wondering what he was thinking about.

The body was a little stiff, and Ivy breathed lightly, trying to calm down his urgency.

After reporting the urgent military situation about the Red Dragon in the border city, Ivy, who planned to look back for Lacey immediately, used the precious teleportation circle to go to Wangcheng under the order of his superiors.

Although I was a little surprised by the importance of the above, the power on the Wangcheng side is stronger. It would be better if a team could be pulled up and sent directly to the Red Dragon, so Ivy endured it for the time being.

But he didn't expect that he would be directly dragged to meet one of the highest rulers of the elf kingdom, the high priest of the World Tree Sect.

——Even if the matter of the abnormal red dragon has attracted the attention of the highest level, shouldn't it be the military and the Mage Association who participated in and presided over the crusade? How could the World Tree Sect, which is responsible for cultivating elf larvae and passing on knowledge and beliefs, find itself first?

Ivy, who became more and more worried about his friend's situation as time passed, became more and more anxious in front of the white-robed high priest who had been slow to take action.

"Don't worry, kid" seemed to have noticed the mood under Ivy's calm face. The high priest came back to his senses and said to him in gentle and invisible magic words, "I assure you with the mother tree, your friend is fine now. Dangerous, but too drastic and urgent action will bring bad results."

As if all negative emotions were disintegrated and blown away by the breeze, Ivy's body trembled, and his mind suddenly returned to calm.

——That's right, the High Priest can sense the status of all the relatives associated with the mother tree, and it is not difficult to search for Lacey's status information.

Then he looked at the High Priest who was looking at the White Mother Tree by the window, and asked a little suspiciously, "Did you foresee something, High Priest?"

The high priests of the World Tree Sect are good at prophesying magic. This is no secret in the kingdom. There are many widely spread events to prove their ability.

However, this high priest's exclusive prophecy magic is extremely unstable, and it is difficult to control the timing of its effect, so it is not very useful in practice.

According to the high priest, this ability is very different from ordinary prophecy magic. It is essentially inspired by the world tree, and he has no way to completely control this process.

"Each year's elemental tide is rising and falling with the breath of the world tree, and we are approaching the highest peak of the elemental tide year by year in this ups and downs," the high priest shook his head at Ivy, "When the various planes are gradually approaching and touching At the turn of the era, with my meager ability, it is difficult to clearly see the development and changes of the world."

The high priest paused, staring blankly at the void in front of him, and said slowly with a trace of hesitation: "But that red dragon is also very special in the misty future, if the future of ordinary things is overlapping and entangled Ball of thread, that one's future is a dark abyss.

"No, it's not just the future. I don't even have a way to determine his past. Isn't the history of the world fixed? Everything we have experienced in the past will change like an uncertain future? Reality and illusion."

In front of Ivy, who didn't quite understand what he heard, the high priest shuddered and recovered from his trance, then smiled apologetically at Ivy, and waved his hand to make him look at the altar in the center of the hall: "My child , can you see the fetish on the altar?"

Ai Wei turned his head and found that there was nothing on the small raised platform woven by twining vines.

"You can't see it, right?" The high priest also looked at the altar with wide eyes. In his eyes that can see the changes of all elements, there is a silhouette of a tree branch looming on the altar, "That is the branch of the world tree. Or part of the world tree branch

"Except for the high priests of all ages, no one can see this fetish, and even all the elves including the high priests cannot touch it, which makes many elves not believe in its existence."

Under Ivy's increasingly confused eyes, the high priest was silent for a moment.

Then he touched the cover of the book in his hand, opened it, took out a green leaf from it and handed it to Ivy, and said softly: "Although I tried my best to exert influence, the royal family and the military still noticed your feedback , they will soon take action, and I may not be able to persuade them to follow the hazy revelation, and there is no way to leave here.

"I'll send you back to the border right away. I hope you can bring your friend and the red dragon to the temple peacefully and secretly before the other elves act. This leaf is the token of the high priest. , you have to make good use of it.”

——The juvenile red dragon is also very big, right? How did you bring it in covertly? And peace?

In front of the stunned Ivy, the high priest warned: "Remember, don't tell other elves about your real mission, even the elves in our sect. If you really need the help of an insider, you can take this token Go to the president of the Master Association for help."

After finishing speaking, in front of Ivy who was about to speak, the high priest closed the book in his hand with a snap, and Ivy disappeared in a flash of magical brilliance.

After Ivy disappeared, the high priest returned to the window and looked at the mother tree. He watched the rare fruits on it and sighed secretly: "Ivy and Lacey are two children. I hope my judgment is correct."

The elves were a very loose and unorganized race at the beginning. Since the internal system was changed a long time ago in response to crises such as wars, the power integration of the elves has improved, but the complexity of the mind and internal conflicts have also increased.

The High Priest doesn't want any elf to lose his life in internal or external conflicts, if possible.

Because every elf is precious - the natural fruits of the elf mother tree are too few, and it is too difficult to differentiate and plant offspring. The number of newborns of elves who cannot carry out normal sexual reproduction will not increase with the population size. increase with the increase.

But as the year of dividing the era approaches, the space barrier between the planes will become weaker and weaker, and various dangers will follow.

Due to being completely beaten back to its original shape, the redeveloped elven kingdom is far from recovering the power possessed by elven civilization during the Great War of the previous era. This makes the high priest who can roughly see the future trend feel very anxious.

Normal methods cannot guarantee that the elves will survive the catastrophe in the future, so the high priest has to try something that goes against the concept of the elves in exchange for some new hope.

"Failed again."

Beside the pool of blood that seemed to be boiling, the crouching red dragon raised his claws and pressed his painful head.

He glanced at the elf floating in the pool of blood like a dead fish, and after confirming that there were no new changes in his body, he continued to ponder over the details of the previous experiment.

Attempts to decipher the thinking process in the brain on a materialistic and objective level, so as to open the state of thinking self-examination to facilitate the study of other control interfaces of elements have been failing, and the red dragon has vaguely noticed some abnormalities at the soul level——

It seems that part of the carrier of the soul does not exist in this body.

"Interesting. The underlying structure of something like an element looks a bit like a virtual data object in a computer, and the soul of an intelligent life isn't it?"

After sorting out the knowledge system he deduced based on the knowledge provided by Lacey, the red dragon who had realized something simply put down the thought experiment for the time being and started another project.

The red dragon released a huge amount of magical power, transformed it according to complex laws, and finally applied it to a small stone in front of him. After a few seconds, the stone suddenly flashed one meter away without any warning, but its shape was completely different in the flash. Distorted, and soon the interior collapsed and shattered.

The red dragon fell into deep thought: "The space movement in this world is more like a study of coordinate modification than high-dimensional jumping. Well, maybe I should go to the boundary of the plane to have a look."

There are a lot of things going on recently, and I am not sure whether the update will be carried out normally in the next few days, so in case there are too many things and then the update will be interrupted, I will not write more false notes, forgive me for the three hundred big guys who are following.

I want to buy an Alien notebook. If I run around, I can code and play, but I am poor and can’t afford it.

When will I be able to save a notebook with manuscript fees?
