Chapter 781 The Immortal Medicine, Rebirth for the Second Life! (6200)
"Ahem..."
Because he really felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Isengard sternly closed the book in his hand.
He said seriously to the green-haired girl in front of him: "Hello. I am Isengard. Isengard Ellen. The third son of the Ellen family, a member of the exploration team of the Imperial Alchemy Association, and also Ian Silver Peak
Collaborators in alchemy and all kinds of things.”
"I take it you are also a friend of Ian's?"
The blond boy's words were frank and sincere, and Anfa also raised his head. The beautiful elf girl frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then answered in a pleasant voice: "Well... I am Anfa Jindeng. I am
Indeed, he is a friend of Ian...both a supporter of his territory and a collaborator."
"Is this so?" Isengard asked curiously: "Are you also Ian's collaborator? I have never heard of your name before... I didn't expect that he actually knew a lady from the Jindeng family.
, I’ve never heard him mention it.”
"No? It's not surprising." Anfa said without changing his expression: "It should be because the cooperation time was relatively short, so Ian didn't have time to introduce me - but it's not too late now."
"Speaking of which, Mr. Isengard, are you here in Canaan Moore also for exploration related to the Alien Research Institute?"
"Yes."
Nodding slightly, Isengard showed a stunned expression: "So, you are Ian's teammate from the Dragon Worship Cult when he comes here this time?"
Isengard has indeed never heard of Anfa's name before, but friends from the Dragon Cult have heard this statement many times - but because they mainly talk about Xio, Isengard only knows that Isengard
Well, there is a group of people here mainly composed of real dragons, ranging from mountain people to elves.
And Anfa... Judging from the traces of dragon scales on the opponent's body, she should also be an elf with a certain amount of true dragon blood.
——It seems that this Isengard is the supporter that Ian often talks about.
Anfa was also thoughtful. As Xiahui's food provider during the food disaster, she also knew that Ian also had food supply channels in the Quinault Plain. In addition, he also had a very staunch supporter in the imperial capital.
, I just didn’t expect this supporter to be so young and not even a few months older than Ian.
It seems that besides myself, there are other people who are also very optimistic about Ian... No, it's normal to be optimistic. How could someone not be optimistic about Ian?
After a brief self-introduction, the VIP room fell into silence again. But soon, the silence was broken by an outside voice.
"An-fa-"
A cheering voice sounded, and immediately after, the door of the VIP room was pushed open.
The red-haired dragon girl opened the door full of energy and saw the green-haired elf lady at a glance. Her eyes lit up and she rushed over cheering: "You are indeed here!"
"Be quiet, Xio."
The person who appeared behind the dragon girl was naturally Ian, who looked slightly helpless, but this time the attention of everyone in the VIP room was not on him... In a sense, it was also on him.
Because the moment Isengard and Anfa saw Xio, they were both shocked.
——Who are you? Why do you have Ian’s face?!
——And when did Ian have a younger sister by his side?!
But soon, as Xio threw himself into Anfa's arms and pressed him hard into the sofa, the elf realized: "Xio? You... have a new look."
"It's okay, at least you're not using mine anymore."
As the last victim, Anfa also showed a helpless expression: "Okay, get up, my body is not very strong..."
Isengard looked at Ian, his eyes indicating, ‘Is this your sister?’, and Ian winked, ‘Why is it possible that my sister has red hair?’.
"How did you get on the Yaphta Chancellor's airship?"
Ian sat next to Isengard. He was not surprised that Anfa could board the Speaker's airship. After all, the Jindeng family was also of the blood of the Ten Kings, and there were several marriages between the Yinmen and Jindeng families in the previous generation. Maybe Speaker Yafoda
What kind of relationship does it have with Anfa? You can find out this information by just asking around in Canaan Moore.
"I was invited by the Speaker when I set off from the World Tree Capital."
Isengard replied with a smile, and he recalled the original situation: "At that time, there were attacks by extremist organizations on the road between the World Tree Capital and Blackstream City, and many roads were interrupted. The Speaker said that he could take me along the way.
Cheng, then of course I won’t refuse.”
"Canaan Moore is a little messier than expected." Ian nodded thoughtfully: "But where is it not messy?"
"Yes." Isengard felt the same way: "Ian, you don't know, Governor Bai Ji has also seen many incidents of monsters attacking villages and towns recently. The teacher and I even went to do on-site investigation.
It was discovered that the source of matter environment has changed... The entire source matter of Terra has been experiencing slight movements recently. Humans feel fine, but some sensitive monsters will have symptoms similar to our tinnitus and neuralgia, and will become
Very anxious.”
"Is that so?"
This is information that Ian does not know. He listened carefully and nodded: "Then it seems that I need you to tell me the observed information in detail...Due to biological warfare in Nanling, most of the Warcraft are already
I’m very anxious, so I can’t observe anything.”
"Yeah." Isengard said seriously: "I originally planned to share it with you after we meet up."
At this moment, Xio also finished greeting Anfa. The dragon girl mainly described to Anfa the taste of the elven cakes and dishes she had eaten along the way, spoke highly of the elves' cooking skills, and expressed that she would like to eat them next time.
"The cook on the Siren is actually just average. I really like it so much. I will wait until I go to the Capital of the World Tree, where they will have the best elf cuisine."
Anfa took care of Xiou. In the past, he was like an elder brother taking care of his younger brother. Now he is like an older sister taking care of his younger sister. There is even a bit of love in his lowered eyes. To be honest, after knowing the ages of both parties, Ian felt that for him,
For Xiou, Anfa can definitely be called the mother of a young girl.
After dealing with Xio, Anfa came to Ian. She bowed down and apologized seriously: "I'm sorry, Ian...the reason why there were accidents on the Siren trip was all because of me.
Uncle’s plan... Fortunately, you are fine."
"It's not a big problem. Even without me, Master Gravi can handle it himself."
Ian waved his hand and didn't care: "Besides, I already talked about this matter with Speaker Yafoda just now."
"Speaking of this, Anfa, is this your true body?"
From the very beginning when he met Anfa, Ian was a little strange - the people from the Canaanite Moore Dragon Worship Cult who specially escorted Qiang Gangshi were only of the first level? Regardless of whether they were strong enough to escort, the first level could
Touching this level of intelligence, doesn't this mean that the other party is a member of a big family?
Since he is a member of a big family and he has proved to be very familiar with Xiou, it is very unreasonable that he is only at the first level in his twenties.
After knowing the existence of the prosthetic body, Ian vaguely understood that Anfa's true identity may also be related to the real dragon, at least an elf with certain real dragon abilities... He or he can freely change the prosthetic body and act.
The presence.
Even the main body may be like Xiou, who is unable to act for some reason, or cannot appear in front of the public.
It is precisely because of this that she can become good pen pals with Xio, who is in the same situation.
"Well..." After hearing Ian's question, the green-haired elf lady lowered her head, looked at her dexterous and slender fingers, and couldn't help but sigh: "No. My body is not so beautiful... Of course, Bisio
It was a lot better when it was the worst."
Anfa shrugged: "But it's not a big problem, at least I can move. And the prosthetic body has much more freedom than Xio."
"Compared to this, have you actually talked to your uncle?"
"Yes."
Ian picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a pot of tea. When he saw Anfa was still standing, he took Anfa's hand and sat down together: "Don't be so nervous. It's all trivial. There's no need to apologize all the time."
"Eh? What about me?" Xio was sitting on the sofa opposite. Seeing Isengard and Anfa sitting on either side of Ian, he couldn't help but feel that he was isolated, and immediately launched a protest - the young man sighed
, stood up: "Then you come over and sit down, I can stand."
Standing in front of his three friends, Ian recalled: "Speaker Yafoda is a very interesting person."
"Of course, it's also very troublesome."
When Ian followed the Golden Candle Guard to the Silver Gate Airship, Speaker Yapheta was waiting at the entrance.
Speaker Yapheta is a middle-aged elf with a majestic face and sharp eyes. His eyes reflect the silvery light, giving him an undoubted aura.
But facing Ian, he seemed very kind and direct.
"Little friend Ian, the 'thing' in Master Grave's hand is now in your hands."
When he opened his mouth, he directly pointed out the fragments of the 'Ladder of Life Tree', which really shocked Ian a little, but the young man quickly smiled and said: "After all, I am also a patrol knight, helping to recycle the precious treasures of the empire that have been lost.
Materials are really a matter of responsibility.”
"I actually don't know the details of this matter, and I don't care much about it. Canaan Moore does not interfere in other countries' internal affairs." Speaker Yapheda said calmly: "Compared to this, your alchemy skills are the really important key... Look
Come, Master Glawei values you very much. He is old, so you must respect the old man."
"That's ridiculous. Thank you Speaker for your tolerance." Ian thanked him and said, "I deserve the reward you mentioned, Speaker. The Siren's escape this time was completely dependent on Captain Elden and my traveling companion Hope.
Miss Ou, I have only made a small contribution."
"You are too self-effacing, little friend Ian." Speaker Yapheda smiled: "Without your help, just as your traveling companion, the three-headed beast king would never leave easily. Canaan Moore thanks you for what you have done.
Because, your actions will continue to be publicized in the future, so you might as well think about what rewards you want."
"What do I need to do? There is no problem in cooperating with the publicity, the main thing is the scope."
Ian pondered: "And I have to participate in the next exploration operation of the Alien Research Institute, will it hinder me?"
"of course not."
The Speaker laughed: "On the contrary, there are great benefits. Speaking of which, as far as I know, Ian, you are the messenger of the Dragon God. In other words, you have received the true inheritance of the real dragon, right?"
"Yes." Ian replied, and the Speaker nodded: "That's right, although it seems a bit troublesome to me, junior, I hope you can tell me this through this transmitter when you enter the third floor of the ruins. As long as
Once this is accomplished, everything will be easier to say."
"How could I say no?"
The transmitter handed over by Speaker Yapheta is a strange white pen holder. It looks a bit like a spoon. The lower part is a white handle, and the upper part is a recessed metal semicircle with a light blue star embedded in it.
Gemstones serve as source signal focussers and are a relatively common style of alarm signaling equipment.
Ian took it, the silver-blue light flashed in his eyes, and nodded thoughtfully: "How many levels have you reached in the Canaan Moore exploration ruins? Do you still need exploration teams from various countries to jointly explore?"
"It's a bit shameful to say it, but it's actually stopped at the second level."
Speaker Yafoda said: "Starting from the second level, the entire ruins need to pass specific conditions to advance further. The age, strength and blood purity requirements are very strict, and there are even requirements for dragon blood... Like ours
Although such a strong person who does not meet the requirements cannot directly enter by brute force, it may cause damage to the ruins."
"It is precisely because of this that all countries strictly select members of the exploration team, so that the Dragon Worship Cult has the opportunity to cooperate."
"That's it, I understand."
Ian understood and put away the transmitter: "It seems that the Speaker has been preparing for a long time, and I will try my best to complete it."
"I'm really sorry to trouble you." Speaker Yafoda showed a heartfelt smile at this time.
——Troublesome old man.
This is what Ian really thinks about Speaker Japheta.
From the very beginning, Speaker Canaan Moore directly pointed out the fact that Master Gravey was holding the ‘Ladder Tree of Life Fragment’, and stated that he already knew that it was Ian who now held this key fragment of the strange object.
After Ian used the excuse of "I am a member of the Patrol Knights" and said that he was recovering it for the empire, he followed suit and hinted that he would not care about Master Grave's affairs and would not take the fragments of the Ladder of Life Tree away.
Notifying the Empire of the relevant matters - it was like selling a favor to Ian, so that Ian could hold the fragments of the Tree of Life without any further trouble.
At the same time, Speaker Yafoda did not hide that he was the one who arranged the attack on Master Grave, but since Ian saved the other party, he would not take action. On the contrary, he was still willing to give Ian the so-called
'reward'.
That's why Ian asked himself what he needed to do, because the other party obviously wanted to make a deal with him, and the only reason why Ian felt that he could make a deal with the other party was probably because he was involved in the Xenogeneic Research Institute.
Facts also proved that Ian's guess was correct. Speaker Yapheda needed Ian to use a transmitter to notify him when he arrived at the third floor of the ruins... The other party obviously also needed a secret channel to do something, Ian
This Imperial Dragon Worshiper, who seemingly has no relationship with him, is the best candidate.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Speaker Yafoda saw something special about Ian...but in general, the two parties made a deal.
In addition, Speaker Japheta also revealed some relevant information about the ruins of the Alien Research Institute.
The institute itself has multiple levels, and starting from the second level, it has restricted 'conditions' for explorers... These conditions are screened in terms of bloodline, age and strength, and are related to the true dragon bloodline.
It sounds like, without dragon blood, one cannot continue to explore in depth after reaching a certain age - so even if there is a strong person leading the team, only some of the exploration team members may still be able to enter the depths.
This is not surprising. Many mazes have relevant exploration restrictions. Although the strong can ignore the rules, if the maze is destroyed and precious information is destroyed, the gain outweighs the loss.
As for why there are these restrictions, it may be the conditions imposed by the institute's AI on the administrators of the ruins, or it may be the requirements of the survivors of the pre-era era for the institute's successors before their death. In general, each has its own reasons.
Ian's age, strength, and dragon blood must all meet the standards. If it doesn't work out, he still has authority. No one has as much authority as him. It's easy to get past the second level.
The reason why Ian found Speaker Yapheta troublesome was because Ian realized that the white metal main material of the transmitter he was given by the other party was actually mithril, and the inner parts were Silent Silver and Blazing Diamond.
...The value of this material exceeds tens of thousands of thalers.
That little transmitter was so rare. What exactly could it be used to send signals for? It was hard for Ian to imagine, but he understood that it was definitely a big deal.
It's a pity that this major matter has been involved since he accepted Anfa's invitation and came to Canaan Moore, and he cannot refuse... In this case, he might as well get more benefits.
"Is there something special about me?"
Before bidding farewell to Speaker Yafoda, Ian finally asked this question, and the silver-haired Elf Speaker was silent for a while and nodded seriously: "Of course. I'm very glad that Anfa can meet you, then
It's her luck."
After finishing his exchange with Speaker Japheta, Ian walked aside to make peace with Xio.
The Elf Speaker stared at Ian's back, with a silver-white ring faintly emerging in the center of his forehead.
As this silver-white ring emerged, the image of Ian in Yafoda's vision began to slowly change.
On the boy's left hand, a cyan crystal dragon light and shadow visible to the naked eye appeared; on the boy's chest, there was a dragon's heart pulsing... And Ian's eyes and whole body were vaguely filled with a fairy-like light mist.
The power of the Ring of Glow rotates, and everything returns to its original state, showing their original appearance from a perspective that transcends time and space.
Dragon's blood - dragon's blood of absolutely incredible purity. But that's not what's really important.
In Speaker Japheta's eyes, the Ian he saw was not a superficial thing like a dragon or a goblin at all.
It was a group of... machines that were extremely twisted, constantly changing, twisting and growing in the light.
An 'uncertain weapon' that cannot be traced back to its original image, but instead constantly shows the 'future'.
This machine demonstrates incredible power, and divine power that no one can match is condensed within its body.
-That's not a dragon.
According to common sense, no one would regard those powerful, radiating mechanical structures as dragons.
However, Speaker Yapheda, who knew the truth about the true dragon and the image of the more ancient true dragon before the third generation of true dragons, understood from the bottom of his heart... that is the real 'dragon'.
"The peak power, the weapon of the future...the core layer of the laboratory that requires a real dragon to open...I was originally thinking that no one could meet this condition, but I didn't expect that the real thing actually existed on Terra for such a long time."
Dragon's blood..."
The Speaker said to himself in his heart, but his expression was a little lonely: "This is not in line with the plan. But it doesn't matter, it's all a good thing."
Taking one step forward, accompanied by layers of undulating rings, the figure of Speaker Yafoda appeared in Master Glave's room in the Flower Cage Hotel.
"Senior."
He said quite affectionately: "Long time no see."
"Yapheta..."
Hearing this voice, the old man who was flipping through his research materials moved slightly and said in a deep voice without looking back: "Why are you here at this time? Aren't you busy?"
"Don't you want to know why I want to kill you?"
"Huh. I don't want to know now."
"You think." Yapheda nodded and said: "I don't want to kill you now. Let's go back to the Capital of the World Tree. In the years since you were gone, Canaan Moore has also produced many new research results."
"You should also take a look at the brand new path we found about the future of elves."
Noticing that Master Gravi was still silent, Speaker Yafoda shook his head and said: "Even if it is a waste of energy in order to avoid overlap in future research, you should go and take a look."
"...Okay." With a heavy sigh, Master Grave put down his pen: "I have indeed been away from Canaan Moore for too long."
…
"That's pretty much it."
Ian ended his recollection, and he basically recited all the conversations he had with Speaker Yafoda to his friends: "Anfa, has Canaan Moore already conducted a separate exploration of the Alien Research Institute? It's just because inside the ruins
The restricted conditions cannot be continued, so we invite the Dragon Cult and major forces from all over Terra to select candidates who meet the conditions to continue the exploration, right?"
"Um."
This was originally confidential information, but Anfa obviously had no intention of keeping it secret. The green-haired elf nodded lightly: "In fact, the exploration of the Alien Research Institute has already started... much earlier than we thought, but the previous exploration
When I was there, I didn’t realize that it was the relics of a pre-epochal civilization.”
"Why exactly?"
Ian frowned slightly, what he didn't understand was this: "Canaan Moore invited exploration teams from various countries with great fanfare. In essence, it was just to select qualified openers, and all countries actually agreed - just a large pre-epoch civilization
The ruins probably don’t have such great charm, at least they won’t play the ruins exploration game with Canaan Moore... Even if a real dragon is added, they probably won’t have that much charm.”
"There are definitely treasures inside the ruins that we don't know about." Ian judged.
"This is exactly what I originally planned to tell you when you arrive at the Capital of World Tree."
Anfa sighed, and the elf lady flipped up her hair with a complicated expression: "It's a long story, but it's actually very simple - according to the analysis of the Canaan Moore Federal Alchemy Institute, there are people with vitality in the Alien Research Institute.
In addition to the 'true dragon', there is another extremely powerful life source reaction."
"This reaction was finally determined to be the 'source of dragon blood'... a most precious rare item that can only appear in the corpse of a fifth-level fallen dragon full of active vitality... a thing that can almost bring people back to life.
Strange thing.”
"To put it simply, it is a fifth-level life-extending product."
"A treasure that allows a fifth-level expert to resurrect his second life."
