A beam of sunlight passed through the cracks in the rocks and fell on the newly excavated nest in the heart of the mountain.
The newly built Dragon's Nest was a bit rough, and a huge amount of dust swirled around it with the wind, actually forming a small haze tornado at the entrance.
The sun passes through this storm of dust and shines on the belly of a real dragon lying on its back in its lair - the wind in the cave is just Chi's breath, and in and out, tornadoes arise on their own.
It can be vaguely seen that the skin and almost translucent scales of this real dragon are not as tough as other similar ones, but are a little new and delicate.
If anyone feels fragile, they are completely wrong, because on the surface of the delicate scales, there is a shallow layer of psychic shield flowing, which seems as soft as water, but is actually several times harder than steel.
head.
The real dragon Xio is taking a nap in the afternoon, sleeping very soundly - digging mountains to build a nest is not a big problem for the third level. The difficulty is how to build a good-looking and strong nest, not to mention that Xi is not good at physical strength.
:
The workload of observing the mountain structure, using psychic energy to dig a cave for three days and three nights, and connecting with the surrounding natural psychic energy to build a psychic field with the dragon's nest as the core is really no less than that of an equally powerful person.
After a big battle, it’s understandable that you want to take a break.
At the entrance of the cave, the King of the Mountain stood quietly in front of the door.
Suppressing almost all the mechanical waves in the surrounding area and not making any sound, he only poked his head out from time to time to see how Xiou was resting. When Ian arrived at Solitary Flame Peak, this was what he saw.
After a child lived alone outside, the worried mother quietly came to the door of her child and watched the other child taking a nap through the window, carefully not daring to make a sound. It was too familiar. While smiling, Ian couldn't help but think of
When I was still on Earth, I rented a house on the moon with my roommate who was taking postgraduate entrance exams. My demeanor and posture were almost exactly the same.
I can only say that I pity the hearts of parents in the world.
When the Mountain King saw Ian coming, he shook his head slightly and didn't say anything. He just took out a small box from the scales on his heart and handed it to Ian with the wind. [This is the exquisite product I exchanged from Long Island.
.The best "Ley Vein Source Crystal" I can find]
You communicated with spiritual energy, and the soft female voice expressed gratitude: [This is the gift I gave you, Ian. You restarted the Dragon God Sacrifice Fire, made the ancient treasure run again, cured Xiou, you are me
friends forever】
"There is no need to say it so harshly, Your Majesty, the King of the Mountain."
Ian just smiled. He had no intention of repaying a favor, and all this was a matter of course for him. Being able to earn a third-level potion material for free was already an incredible gain.
Not to mention, Xiou is indeed his friend. There is no need to think too much about helping a friend.
"Compared to this."
Ian glanced sideways at Xiou, who was sleeping soundly: "Although it was my suggestion, do you really feel safe placing Yan in my territory?"
[There is no other better place to go]
The King of the Mountain sighed softly: [Although the Steel Winged Dragon has been forced back by me, my dragon nest has been exposed. Recently, I have to move the nest and return to Dragon Island to report - your territory.
No matter what, it is the territory of the empire. Attacking you is the same as starting a war]
…
[In addition, your territory has, among other things, impregnable defensive measures and a thriving overall development. I think it is a good thing for Xiou to bind such a high-quality territory and become the guardian dragon of the territory, even if it is a mascot.]
A good guy, a mascot, that's what his mother would say. Ian complained in his heart that he didn't dare to regard Xiou as a mascot.
Moreover, does the King of the Mountain want to report back to Dragon Island? No wonder he told himself last time that he would take him to Dragon Island when he has time in the future. It is probably because of the request of the Dragon Kings. I don’t know what is the relationship between Dragon Island and the real dragon.
What is the relationship? Historical legends cannot be trusted. We will have to find out more in the future.
Shaking his head, Ian recovered his thoughts.
In recent days, after being purified by the shimmering basket system, Xiou's body has begun to reactivate and "develop" - it can be seen from the new skin that Xiou's body is returning to normal as a true dragon should.
Some physical fitness.
The reason why I sleep is not only because I am really tired, but also because of this kind of growth.
Xiou's sleep represents that Xiou is consuming the energy accumulated in his body to restore and strengthen himself. It is a
Good thing.
So neither the King of the Mountain nor Ian planned to disturb them. After waiting, Xiou woke up naturally. [Ian?]
Opening his eyes, Xio saw the white-haired boy at the door. He stood up and was about to poke his head out curiously to see why Yi Si came to the door of his nest. Then he saw the head of the Mountain King appear quietly at the door of his lair.
Just above Yisi: [Mom?]
Chi was startled and even the honorifics came out.
[He didn’t clean up the ashes in his lair before going to bed] The King of the Mountain opened his mouth to scold him, and Xiu snorted coldly: [How can I let you live alone? And there is no warning at all,
This time it’s Ian and me. What if next time it’s the Steel Winged Dragon or the assault force from the Flying Fire Land?】
【Yes Yes】
Xio admitted with shame. In fact, he was quite surprised when he saw Ian. He didn't expect that his psychic induction circles all over the dragon's nest had no reaction at all. This shouldn't be the case.
But for Ian, Xio's psychic induction line is similar to a banana peel placed in front of his eyes, and it is basically impossible to step on it and get hit.
When Xiou learned that Ian was trying to make his own "etheric weapons" to achieve his master-level alchemy (Ian's apparent excuse for needing third-level materials), so he needed leyline source crystals, Chi Deng immediately felt that
Become interested.
Since his mother gave a gift of gratitude, he must not lose!
【Ian!】
He got up happily and came to the door of his lair: [I shot down a few steel pterosaurs a few days ago, and some of them are still at the third level. "-I can't use its materials, so I'll give them to you!"
】Those Steel Winged Dragons?
En also knew that the three steel pterosaurs of the Dragon Hunting Team became trophies after they were shot down by Xio.
I actually had no sense of personal property when I played Xio, and it was not just my own dragon that injured them, and there was no need for this kind of sub-dragon Warcraft material, so it was very satisfying when I sent them out.
Ian didn't pay too much attention, but was a little regretful that he didn't catch up with the time. You know, the third level
…
The soul may be able to condense an "intermediate computing unit. The computing power of that thing is enough to serve as the management center of a big city. One unit must also take into account research and help Ian optimize materials for various technologies. It may be a bit nervous, but
Two pills are definitely enough.
And now, Xio said that he would give the entire third-level steel pterosaur to him.
Ian glanced at the King of the Mountain beside him.
The silver dragon let out a long sigh: [Xio, you can't do this. That Steel Winged Dragon is a joint trophy between you and Xiahui Leader, and it's not your private property. This can't be said to be a free gift - and Ian
Are you going to write off the kindness of curing your void poison with a third-level steel pterosaur?】
[Oh] Xiou’s tail swayed behind him, feeling a little embarrassed: [Then I...]
Ian laughed and interrupted the awkward atmosphere: "From today on, this area of Guyan Peak is your territory, Xiou. In exchange for the third-level steel pterosaur material, I
I accepted it unceremoniously.
He gave Xiou a look, and then said: "Next, here at the mouth of the mountain range, there is my new alchemy industrial zone. If Roland and the others are busy, for the sake of being the co-owners of this territory, please help.
Help them."
【no problem!】
Hearing this, Xiou got rid of his embarrassment and said energetically: [These are all easy things, I will definitely help! 】
【And my territory! I also have a territory! 1
Perhaps this is the nature of fire creatures - when he heard the words "own territory", Xio seemed to be overjoyed, looking extremely happy. Ian seriously doubted that the dragon masters of the dragon kingdom also had the same mentality as Xio.
.
As long as it has a piece of its own territory, it can be solved. From this point of view, the real dragon is quite easy to satisfy.
Seeing this scene, the King of the Mountain couldn't say anything. He just shook his head and looked at Yisi: "Please, take more care of Yan. Xiou is very capable."
Children who are strong, at least have great potential] "No, they are very capable."
Ian was not stingy with his praise. He said seriously: "You can't underestimate your child - at the very least, Chi can still maintain such a healthy and positive attitude now, which is a perfect proof of his ability."
moon.
Although in the eyes of the King of the Mountain, Xiou may be full of various problems, which is the so-called "you in the eyes of parents", but as a friend, Xiou is responsible for his friends and will take action, and his own strength is not inferior.
His spirit is also very tough due to years of suffering from illness, and his personality is also very sincere and polite. He only needs one opportunity to soar into the sky, and he is the best friend in his eyes.
After all, where can you find a second true dragon that is so innocent?
The materials of the Steel Winged Dragon are stored in a cave at the foot of Solitary Flame Peak, and are sealed and preserved by Xio with psychic energy. After a while, Ian will ask Scott to prepare the team and transport them back to the city to be broken down into real materials.
After delivering the "Earth Source Crystal" to Ian, the King of the Mountain was also ready to leave.
Before leaving, Pao personally cleaned Xiou's lair.
While using the source material to strengthen the mountain, the god kept telling Xiou the importance of hygiene and tidiness. It can only be said that in terms of parent-child relationship, there is really no difference between dragons and humans.
…
Naturally, Ian returned to Xiahui City early with the Earth Vein Source Crystal and opened the small box given to him by the Mountain King.
In the box, bright light patterns lit up from the center, spreading in all directions from the center. The light blue mixed with pure white light shone gently, and a small spiritual energy field was constructed in an instant.
In the center of the field, a pure white crystal is surrounded by two spectrums of blue and pure white, which are intertwined indefinitely, and the colors continue to gradually change outward, like a swaying light.
[Earth Source Crystal]
[The third energy level "Perfect Seed·Authority, Edible]"
[Born from the depths of the planet, a rare crystal at the core node of the natural circulation of source matter, it itself is a kind of "entity ether" that perfectly integrates natural spiritual energy and source matter. The energy continuously absorbs the spiritual energy and sources of the surrounding natural space and time.
Self-charging with mass can be used to create core energy for some sustainable alchemy facilities]
[Compared with ordinary similar types, the perfect quality leyline source crystal has a better affinity for the source of matter, and can warm and nourish the soul. The radiance it emits can even make the soul of the deceased live forever.
Therefore, it is also called the dark lamp]
[If used as a potion material, even if the soul is damaged, it can be quickly healed and regenerated, but it does not reduce the pain]
[Warning: If the user's basic quality is insufficient and he rashly takes perfect quality leyline crystals, his self-awareness will be diluted by the mighty natural will filled in the crystal body, and he will turn into a plant.
[Contains the essence: .8554 core unit] [.]
"Sure enough, it's perfect!"
Seeing the data on the silver chip, Ian couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "It can heal the soul and warm the soul. This is the ability I need most!"
During the recent period, Ian has been transforming his soul structure. Even if he is a prophet without making mistakes, there will definitely be pain and loss as long as he transforms.
Although the computing power has been greatly improved, in terms of absolute strength, Ian's soul has actually dropped slightly.
After all, even if they are both made of iron, a solid iron lump or a compact computer, it is obvious which one is more susceptible to damage. Even if the soul structure of the imitating computing unit is also very tough, if it can be kept warm at the same time
Practicing at the same time will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
By now, the potion materials have almost been accumulated. If he were a simple Lord of Stone, Ian could even say that he was fully prepared. But he had already accumulated enough, and he did not intend to simply follow the old path.
Returning to his warehouse, Ian counts the materials he now owns.
The dust-fighting dragon's heart shell, Morian steel, leyline source crystal, a whole head of third-level steel wing materials. There are also various sublimated materials obtained from Jiamube.
Basically, he has all the necessary main materials.
Moreover, because it is the core center of the "Super Giant Magnetic Storm Coil", the protective shell of the Clean Dust Dragon was severely purified by the dragon god's sacrificial fire.
Although part of the quality was lost as a result, the remaining inscription structure became extremely pure, and even the description in the silver chip had an extra sentence.
[The extremely pure heart-protecting shell, although its physical strength is slightly reduced, its control over magnetism is greatly enhanced. It is a special product that exceeds the limit of the original owner's ability]
…
To be honest, Ian doesn't need any "physical strength" at all - his shield can already be covered with nine layers, the next door has been buried in the ground, and the grass on the grave is probably two inches tall. Kod Jiamu tried his best to fight with
He didn't break through all of Todoroki when he faced him head-on. The only one who truly broke through Ian's defense was a nightmare villain.
But Jiangmengzi is essentially a cosmic-level super life. Even if it is an incomplete illusion, it will not be a shame to be defeated by it!
It is precisely because of the fact that Fudo City has achieved the ultimate in defense that some time ago, when Ian was building the source furnace with the core of the ancient dragon as the center, he had been thinking about whether he really wanted to go to Healy.
Teacher Yade’s old path.
In the future, Ian is destined to open up a new path of practice. Most of the bloodline true forms cannot adapt to Ian's next fighting method, and the Stone Lord is no exception.
This is why he wants to upgrade on the basis of Lord of Stone and create a brand new "new magic potion", which is also the true form of the temporary name "Lord of Steel"!
The Lord of Steel is an improved version of the Lord of Stone that adds magnetic control capabilities, and is very different in terms of positioning.
The Lord of Stone is essentially a fortress builder and rock golem creator with specialized material manipulation abilities and extremely strong war capabilities. He is also equally tough. He is a guardian knight and summoner who protects the formation, enough to dissuade everyone.
The plan is to kill the summoned object by beheading the summoner.
But Lord of Steel is different.
Its abilities are geared toward "scientific research infrastructure" and "self-reinforcement."
What Ian needs is to strengthen his soul, strengthen micro-manipulation, use magnetism and metal control ability to rub machine tools, and then use the machine powder to manufacture mass production equipment, and so on, to quickly strengthen himself.
The productivity of the territory.
Then, although it is impossible to create a large number of golems and rock fortresses, as an existence with stronger personal defense than the Stone Lord, the Steel Lord's wonderful use of magnetism, with Ian's strong basic knowledge reserve, is definitely better than Terra.
Most of the sublimators who play electromagnetism are going to be very strong.
Among other things, Ian can make a magnetic propulsion engine on the spot to go to outer space, and on the planet, he can also easily use magnetism to accelerate himself to incredible levels.
Not to mention magnetic deflection and magnetic confinement fields.
Simply put, the Steel Lord can fly! The Stone Lord can't!
A pure explosive kill is a yes.
"My soul has been transformed and is infinitely close to the third energy level, but my body cannot yet
Carrying one - this has reached the limit, and there is no point in trying any harder."
Looking around at the materials in front of him, Ian nodded slightly: "The next research direction is to perfect the magic potion of the Lord of Steel. As long as I can reach the third energy level, even if the war between the Empire and the Flying Flame Land begins,
When we reach Nanling, I am confident that we can ensure the rapid development of the territory."
No
However, Ian still has some things to do before going to develop the Steel Lord.
Yisi came to the alchemy laboratory.
Some time ago, when Ian defeated the Construct Knight, he successfully copied the entire structure of the Construct Knight, including the most important "spiritual machine core."
…
Of course, he brought this technology back to the territory as soon as possible and gave it to Adebert for analysis to see if this all-powerful researcher had any unique ideas that were different from his own.
As a result, Adalbert was shocked when he saw the design of the spiritual weapon. He exclaimed that it was incredible. He grabbed Ian and asked where it came from. After Ian answered "a gift from the Flying Flame Land", he was extremely upset.
The researcher who hated the Flying Flame Land was even more happy.
"This "Spiritual Machine Core" is essentially a soul storage structure that is far better than our "Dead King Center"! In the simplest terms, it can convert the source matter into spiritual energy and strengthen the Dead Lord.
, it can also make the soul in our body live more comfortably, and the frequency of activities can also be greatly increased. "
Albert
Te explained to Ian: "After leaving the subspace and the virtual realm, all the souls in our bodies became silent. This is inevitable. After all, the design of the Dead Lord from the beginning was to use the soul as the cornerstone, and did not let these
The idea of the soul exerting abilities other than “masonry.”
"However, this spiritual machine core can improve this. Even without us, the dead king, struggling to maintain it, this spiritual machine core can carry thousands of souls on its own!"
Adlbert has a very high opinion of the spiritual machine core. In addition to storing souls, he is also very optimistic about the other ability of the spiritual machine core, that is, the conversion of "source matter-spiritual energy": "According to the original ether
Theory, the source and matter are indeed one, and being able to convert the two freely is the characteristic of the strong people at the third energy level. Their light bodies are basically the embodiment of this ability. "
"The spiritual machine core can rely on its strong energy supply to create a psychic shield comparable to a third-level powerhouse, or an increase in source quality of the third energy level. It can be said to be an "artificial third energy level."
"
"It's a pity that at least the energy source of the Ether furnace core level can be supplied, and the technology of the Ether furnace heart cannot be fully mastered even by the capital of knowledge, and the cost is high, and it is difficult to train a third-level person.
There is no difference.
"Not to mention that if you want to control this kind of spiritual machine core, you also need a sublimate who is at least the second level of peak energy as a driver to be effective." At that time, Adlbert shook his head regretfully: "The technology is good.
Technology, but our territory does not have the conditions to fully utilize it.”
But Ian has a different opinion - indeed, apart from himself, Adlbert and Xiou, it is basically impossible to find an ascendant at the peak of the second energy level or above in the current Xiahui Territory
thing, and the three of them have the power to surpass the core of spiritual weapons.
But if one person can’t do it, what about hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands?
"The energy core, I will find a way. Rather, this is the easiest problem to solve. As for the controller, we don't need to let it fight, but let it become some kind of city defense core to protect the entire city and Guanzhi.
Just the region
Ian made this suggestion to Adelbert: "As long as we can popularize artificial souls, so that the entire Xiahui Territory and even all the mountain people have souls, then at critical moments, they can gather small things or defend against problems.
"At least these ordinary people will have the power to protect themselves, right?"
…
"It's like the dead king, but it's not about gathering the power of everyone to give one person, but the power of everyone to give a "shelter to protect yourself!" "If everyone has a third-level psychic shield,
Then even if there is a fourth-level battle in the territory, the casualties will be greatly reduced!"
Adlbert was deeply inspired. Although he wanted to protect the weak and ordinary people, he couldn't think of any related ideas because the Terran people were too biased towards the thinking mode of individual power.
Ian's words woke him up and made him realize: "Yes. Moreover, in critical moments, the consensus of most people is to "protect yourself, protect your relatives and friends." This consensus is even stronger than the dead king.
When you sign a contract with them, you must do so from the bottom of your heart!"
"As long as the Dead King's technology is used skillfully to strengthen the core of the spiritual weapon, it will become the best shelter!" Ian came here this time to talk to Adebert about his recent work results.
But he never thought that as soon as he arrived at the alchemy laboratory, he would be approached by Adelbert.
Ian! I have something new!"
The Dead Lord researcher was full of enthusiasm - he was the Dead Lord after all, and he was basically not tired, but was in full research mode 24 hours a day. He grabbed Ian and went to the deepest underground laboratory, and excitedly looked at the puzzled person.
Ian said: "I have recreated the artificial soul potion!"
"We only need to wait for the cultivation of "benign brain attachment" to get on the right track, and we can quickly produce a large number of related medicines. It will only take about half a year to popularize it to the whole people!"
"Oh! It's indeed a great thing!" Ian's eyes lit up. The artificial soul can be said to be the basis of all his future plans.
But soon, the young man became a little confused - is he so excited?
Although artificial soul is indeed a key technology, the most core
Both the "brain attachment" and the medicine formula are ready-made. Ian recruited a few days ago, and the redwood natives with "benign and unactivated brain attachment" in their bodies are entitled to a generous sum of new water. It would be strange if they can't come back.
.
As expected, Adalbert continued: "Besides, Ian, the "spiritual machine core" and "meditation method" you gave me gave me great inspiration."
"After the core of the spiritual machine is transformed, it can possess some of the abilities of the "Dead Lord". That is, it can draw the wandering souls around it into its own internal shelter."
"At the same time, as long as the meditation method is slightly adjusted to the soul structure, then those who practice meditation can decouple their souls from their bodies within a certain range!"
"Although they are just very common abilities, they are interesting when combined!" The young researcher held up his own
He was waving the calculation paper in his hand. He had obviously done experiments on himself, so he said with excitement and certainty: "In this way, if our territory encounters a crisis in the future, the people will not need to gather around the square at all, but stay in their own
At home, the soul directly leaves the body and is controlled by the core of the spiritual weapon.
Guide, go inside it and activate its shield!
"This speed is far faster than gathering by human legs, and even if you encounter an accident, you can at least save your soul!"
Adelbert is really worried about the survival of ordinary people. This is his obsession, so he is so excited.
Because this idea is also a further optimization of Ian's "shelter" idea, that's why Adalbert wanted to find Ian to listen to his views, eager to get recognition and opinions. But Ian didn't act like Adalbert.
As Debert imagined, after praising himself, he calmly gave some opinions that he had not thought of.
The young man stood there stunned.
".Ian? What's wrong?" Researcher Dead Lord greeted Ian cautiously.
".I'm fine."
When Ian came back to his senses, he blinked and looked at Albert seriously.
The young man took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Do you know what you are talking about? Adlbert?"
The Dead Lord was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Ian looked so solemn, so his voice became lowered: "I found a brand new way to protect the people?"
wrong!"
Ian stretched out his hand, grabbed Adalbert's shoulder, and said solemnly: "What you found is the gate of Hades!" Adalbert! What you just found is the key to the gate of Hades!"
