Ancient dragons refer to dragons who are over five hundred years old. Basically, this age has exceeded the natural death limit of dragons. This type of dragon will not have the aging phenomenon of ordinary dragons; instead, it will reverse the aging process as it gets older. A situation where the trend is getting stronger.
If among Homo sapiens, those who transcend ordinary life forms are called extraordinary ones, then ancient dragons can be regarded as extraordinary beings among the dragon clan, because they cannot be viewed with the understanding of ordinary dragons.
But there is no such thing as an extraordinary person in the Dragon Clan, and even the term "ancient dragon" is not a term commonly used by the Dragon Clan itself or commonly used in all corners of the world. This is just a term used by a few humans when targeting some of the powerful Dragon Clan who meet specific conditions - that is, age. A saying used to remind others that a certain dragon is not easy to mess with.
It was this ancient dragon that Henry wanted to take Lin and others to see - Eos.
After the fleet entered the inland river of Dragon Island, Lin originally thought that this powerful race lived in caves when he saw the giant dragons coming in and out of the caves on the hillside.
Inside the cave, there should be piles of coins and jewels, and the dragons are lying on this uncomfortable 'bed'. Usually they are either sleeping or hanging out with the dragons on the pile of money mountains next door. He chewed his teeth and talked as usual.
After actually entering a cave, I realized that my previous imagination was too ignorant.
I don’t know about other caves, but Eos has managed his own dragon cave into a palace.
The stone pillars connected by stalactites and stalagmites were carved into the style of Greek pillars in my hometown, that is, there are many vertical lines and grooves on the pillars. The pillars would be at least as thick as three or four people hugging each other, if not for the traces of water flowing through them. , Lin still couldn’t believe that this was transformed from natural stone pillars.
The palace also has floors that have been polished to a discernible shine, walls with embossed murals, and a large bed that can accommodate a giant dragon lying on its side. All of these let Lin know about the craftsmen who came to work on Dragon Island. They, what exactly are they doing?
The particularly difficult point is that there are no additional architectural structures built in the Dragon Cave. Everything is transformed according to the topography of the original cave.
The reason why Lin can make such a judgment is that the main structure of the entire palace is completely formed in one piece without any trace of seams. This is not like the craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen in his hometown, which hides the seams invisible. .But there really is no seam. Even if you use your own environment detection magic, you will come to the same conclusion.
So Lin was in the mood to visit the ruins of primitive people, but what he saw was a mansion with a rich sense of art. He was immediately shocked by the contrast and was so dizzy that he couldn't help himself.
Especially the relief murals on the walls. Although they are not as masterful as Michelangelo's memories in my hometown, they are still very distinctive and excellent works. And there are stories in the paintings, sometimes people, sometimes people. Long Lin guessed that it might be Eos's own deeds.
Someone thought maliciously that this dragon's cave was so well carved that it would be a good choice not only for a Yang house, but also for a Yin house. The murals describing the owner's life and deeds were also complete. When the time comes, the cave entrance will be sealed, and the old man inside will be sealed. Just sit back and relax, this is really a one-stop service, from life to burial, all in the same place.
And that huge platform made of white jade is the 'Dragon Bed' in this palace. It has nothing to do with the emperor in his hometown, but it is really a bed for a dragon to sleep on. The person lying on it is the owner of this place. One end is quite rare. A gem-constructed dragon.
There is a saying that the Construct Dragon is not a natural species, but a creation of the Goblin Empire in the past. Therefore, people cannot find two identical Construct Dragons, and each Construct Dragon is unique.
But one of the reasons why the so-called "creation" theory is not believed by people is that the constructed dragon is not like the golem, which has slow reaction and low intelligence level. Each constructed dragon has profound knowledge and quick reaction, not only speaking He is smart and can often refute those who claim to be intelligent.
This is not the level that 'man-made things' can perform. Even the constructed dragon has a soul, and various magics targeting souls or spirits have a chance to work.
But those who support it also have something to say. This lies in the most obvious feature of the Goblin Empire's creations on the construct dragon - the structure of the pump. On Eos, there are one to three pumps on each of the reflex joints.
Whenever the pump on the Goblin Empire's creation is inserted into a construction machine, it can increase the power of the construction several times. Not only will the speed become faster, but the output will also increase. It is said that the pump on Eos has no People or dragons have seen it used, but the shape is unmistakable.
Constructed pumps cannot be a natural organ of living things. Therefore, there is another theory about the constructed dragons in Midland, that is, even if these dragon species are not produced from scratch by the Goblin Empire, they may still be living bodies. It is half-dressed and is a dragon species transformed by goblins.
Another reason why construct dragons are living creatures is because, regardless of male or female, construct dragons have the ability to reproduce with other dragons or other creatures.
The only exception is that the offspring of a construct dragon will usually have the characteristics of the other parent; even if two construct dragons mate, the offspring will only be the offspring of a metal dragon. As for which one it is, it is not necessarily true. In other words, for some reason, the number of construct dragons in Midland cannot increase through natural production.
Fortunately, the lifespan of the construct dragons is very long. There is no precedent for natural death. At most, they are killed by other creatures. The construct dragons still alive in the world are all hiding and do not go out easily, but this It has also caused the number of Construct Dragons in Midland to continue to decrease.
You can see a gem-constructed dragon in front of you, which is comparable to seeing a panda in your hometown. Even in terms of rarity, the former may be more rare, and the latter at least has a breeding base in operation.
Eos is a female dragon. In terms of appearance, it is similar to the common form of dragons. It has a big belly, a long tail, thick hind limbs, thin forelimbs, bat-like wings and a sharp dorsal fin.
The only difference is that its entire body is made of gemstones. To be precise, it is some kind of transparent and colored solid object. The so-called gemstone just means that the texture looks similar. But it is not transparent. You can see the internal organs, or see the scene on the other side through the body.
It is different from the body composition of the gem-man type among the earth element creatures that once existed. The body of the earth-element gem man is really composed of various gems. And gems are not like metals that can have alloys. Some low-level Gemmen are like cheap puzzle pieces. Therefore, the original Gemmen tribe will try their best to improve the purity of the gems in their body. The fewer impurities, the stronger the strength.
Not every part of the gem body of Eos is a gem type. The whole body is a complete individual with no obvious border areas. And its color is basically uniform.
The reason why I say this is because when viewed from different angles, this gem body will reflect different colors. This makes this exquisite statue of Eos a bit more indescribable divinity.
When it is motionless, Eos is like an exquisite stone carving, without a trace of the breath of a living creature. Looking at its unique gem body, it is like someone visiting the world for the first time when he was a child before time travel. I was shocked and moved when I saw the stained glass in the church.
Putting aside the question of whether or not to believe in a religion, when I looked at the brightly painted glass of the Christ statue, I really felt like I was bathed in the grace of God. However, I am childish and heartless, and I guess I will be there the next day. I forgot. It was only after seeing this scene that Lin remembered that incident.
In fact, when Lin Yi entered the palace, he really thought that what was on the dragon bed was a one-to-one sculpture of a real dragon, and it was also the work of that master. Except for the strange small protrusions at the joints, the entire sculpture and its details were Inside, not only the level of detail is breathtaking, but also the overall style that combines power and coquettishness.
But when Henry led the people forward, bowed and greeted: "Lord Eos." After the sculpture opened its eyes and looked at the person, Lin was shocked to realize that the giant dragon sculpture was actually a living thing!
The gem-constructed dragon didn't get up, it just raised its long neck and raised its huge head. The eyes it opened were different from those of ordinary creatures. Eos's eyes were really gems within gems. It looks like a cat's eye stone set in topaz.
However, this pair of eyes made of dead objects actually gave people a bright feeling. Those smart eyes looked at Henry who said hello, and then looked towards Lin and William.
In an instant, Lin felt like his whole body was being seen through, and the Xuanwu robe on his body even activated secretly. Although there was no magic shield or the like, the inherent divine power also protected Lin's entire body under the stimulation of the outside world. .
I don't know if William enjoys the same treatment, but he has a calm expression and does not show any discomfort at all. However, thinking of this rough guy who doesn't care about other people's eyes, he directly ignores Eos's gaze. It shouldn’t be surprising
The reaction of the Xuanwu robe did not make Lin furious. The flash technique was close to him, and if he wanted to run away, even the gods could not stop him. But the intention of the gem-constructed dragon in front of him had to be carefully considered. So Lin waited, and waited. This rare dragon spoke first.
"Magician, what's your name?"
The voice of the gem-constructed dragon was gentle and soft, like the breeze blowing by, making people feel better unconsciously and feel a little more intimate.
Although he seemed calm on the surface, Lin was still thinking about it in his mind. The silver dragon Loli before had a fear spell when he was angry; the gem-constructed dragon in front of him, did he have a charm spell when he spoke?
Do all dragons have this ability? Or is it just a talent of certain small groups? Just like dragon power, it comes with it from birth.
Facing this gem-constructed dragon that he met for the first time, Lin certainly didn't dare to neglect him. Although now he is no longer afraid of offending the boss, but this kind of thing can be done as little as possible. One less enemy, many friends. There is no harm in it. So after performing the etiquette of a magician, he followed Henry's way of addressing him and replied: "Lord Eos, I am Gabrash Tripwood from the holy city of Estali. I would like to express my sincere greetings to you." Your regards."
People in Midi are not necessarily forced to use their place of birth when introducing their origins. They can also be the place where they made their fortune, or a place with special commemorative value. After all, in such a place, their reputation is the loudest; if others want to inquire,
Also know where to start.
If you talk about a little-known corner, there is no way to increase local tourism revenue. In a world that is still looking for food and clothing, there is no so-called tourism industry.
