Resurrection II. Although it sounds very much like the fantasy settings that even science fiction dared not easily use in the many networks that Ian has seen in his previous life, because Terra really has swords, magic and ether.
, so it’s not particularly exaggerated.
Especially things like life-extending magic plants and life-extending wonders are actually not that complicated.
The first time Ian met Isengard and his group was because of a life-extending magic plant.
This kind of magic plant generally relies on two methods to extend life. The first is to add a large amount of life essence, which is equivalent to adding an upper limit to a person's health bar. The life span is naturally extended, but it cannot cure various hidden injuries and losses, so the older you get, the worse the effect.
.
The second is to repair various wounds and omissions. In this case, it will be miraculous for those who have suffered injuries and shortened their lifespan, but some noble people who take good care of themselves will have no effect after taking it.
Most of these two kinds of life-extending magic plants have thresholds. If you eat too much, they will have no effect, because both the dark damage and the upper limit of the blood bar have limits.
However, high-level life-extending wonders are different. Especially Anfa’s fifth-level wonder, the source of dragon’s blood.
As the highest level, and indeed a rare item that has extended the life of several fifth-level people in history, the source of dragon blood comes from the huge vitality left behind by the death of the real dragon.
It sounds a little strange - the real dragon is dead, how can it still have vitality left?
But this involves the special nature of the life of a real dragon.
As Ian knows, the true dragon is actually an artificial race with a creator and a lifespan. It has incredible vitality. If there are no restrictions on its use, it is not surprising that it will have eternal life, let alone five hundred years.
But once it reaches the limit of its service life, that is, five hundred years, even if the real dragon itself is still physically healthy, he will still 'die.
And in this way, the bodies of the real dragons who died due to their expiration date will accumulate a large amount of extremely pure life essence that can be reused by any life, and this source of essence will rely on the dragon's blood.
Condensed into the source of dragon blood that can be used by fifth-level powerhouses.
The Ascendant system in the world of Terra actually does not increase lifespan.
The magic potion will indeed provide the sublimated person with extraordinary divine power and extra life essence. The advancement of the sublimated person can also improve his life essence to a certain extent-if it is an ordinary person, it is only the second-level sublimated person.
The vitality is enough for them to live for two to three hundred years, let alone the third energy level, which can easily live for one or two thousand years.
But in addition to improving the essence of life, sublimators also increase the loss of life essence.
The brand-new sublimation organ and the loss of various life and spiritual energy make the sublimator like an oversized high-consumption electrical appliance. Even if it comes with a more powerful battery and charger, the standby time is still due to the increased energy consumption.
Still pretty much like ordinary people.
Even the fifth energy level has not gotten out of this predicament.
The third energy level is actually the limit of freedom of action. Starting from the fourth energy level sublimator, any sublimator who starts fighting with all his strength will lose his lifespan.
The etheric true body constructed from the original ether, every time it is dispatched, it means that the high-energy sublimated person will lose at least ten years of life.
Of course, the theoretical lifespan of a fourth-level sublimated person can reach thousands of years, but in a world like Terra, how can it be possible not to fight? Sublimated people cannot even reduce the consumption of their own sublimation organs, and need to maintain a state of readiness for war at all times. This makes
Their lives burn like fire and reach their end quickly.
The fifth energy level is even more terrifying. Even if they don't fight, they will consume their lifespan crazily like a torch. Every fifth energy level sublimator is an artificial sun, releasing enough light to illuminate the world.
, is also constantly burning the self and soul.
"After all, the fifth-level powerhouse is at least at the space battleship level, but the essence of life is still an existence sublimated from human beings. The power is higher than the essence, just like using a trained human body to urge
Using powered armor or even a tank battleship will definitely shorten your lifespan."
"But the real dragon is different - the real dragon starts from the beginning
They were originally designed according to the level of super life in the universe. Their theoretical lifespan is infinite, and the life source contained in their bodies is pure and majestic. Even an extreme design like the fifth energy level can be recharged once.
Let them live a second time.
"But just like a worn out battery, it cannot return to its original state even if it is fully charged again. A degraded battery cannot support the second or even third charge. This is why fifth-level sublimators also
There is no reason for living multiple lives with the help of life-extending magic items."
At this moment, Ian already understood why all countries were willing to accompany Canaan Moore to play the ruins exploration game.
The source of dragon blood, a treasure of this level, can indeed allow all forces to suppress other thoughts and quietly take it out before discussing the distribution issue.
In the continent of Terra, the third level is a high-level combat force that can often appear, the fourth level rarely takes action, and the fifth level spends most of its time suppressing the situation, leaving all its strength to deal with those
'Disaster of the Apocalypse - So the fifth-level powerhouses will basically not express any opinions on the political structure of the mainland, nor will they care about ruins and labyrinths. These things do not mean much to them.
Only the source of dragon blood can make these human gods look a little sideways but not to the point of having to snatch it away, because in the final analysis it just allows them to live for a while and recharge, just once.
If the vitality that we have now is wasted for the purpose of recharging, and we fail to grab it in the end, it will be a huge disaster for our country.
"No wonder."
Ian whispered: "This will explain it."
At this time, he stretched out his hand and looked at the 'transmitter' in his hand.
This small ultra-rare material transmitter worth tens of thousands of thalers is not just a bribe for Ian, it is also an extremely sophisticated ether signaling device that can work in any environment.
Ian just scanned it through the precognitive vision and silver chip, and found that the transmitter should be some kind of remote control. When activated in a specific area at a specific time, it will release an extremely concealed ether wave. This wave will
Start some instruments with specific receiving structures without any delay or loss.
If it were an ordinary person, there would definitely be no way to match the transmitter with the receiving instrument, but Ian is not an ordinary person. As long as he sees it, he can know which instruments can be activated by the transmitter in his hand, and then analyze Yafoda.
Speaker's plan.
Ian didn't think Speaker Yafoda would give him such a critical and dangerous task, and he might not even be the only one holding the transmitter, but he still wanted to find out the other party's true purpose.
The boy's instinct told him that Speaker Yapheda definitely had a big plan. Now that the fifth-level powerhouse would not take action at will, as a peak sublimator of the fourth-level Canaan Moore, he definitely planned to use the power of dragon blood.
The existence of the source does something.
And this matter must be related to the internal struggle to maintain the party and the pillar parties.
——No matter where you go, you can't avoid the struggle between people. Ian is not surprised when he thinks of it this way.
In any case, all this will have to wait until we enter the ruins.
Soon, as Master Glawei also arrived in the airship, the Yinmen family's airship slowly took off.
"Speaking of it."
Feeling the slight vibration of the airship taking off, Isengard seemed to have thought of something: "Ian, you seem to encounter accidents every time you go out in any vehicle."
"The exploration ship that was exploring the South China Sea was attacked by my uncle, the train going to the imperial capital encountered a spy from the Flying Flame, the pumice aircraft going to the Avak Territory was shot down by the aftermath of King Tianhong, and this time the Siren"
"Think about it carefully, you will encounter accidents every time! Although you can save the day every time, does this mean that you are not suitable for traveling far away?"
"real or fake?"
This topic immediately attracted the attention of Anfa and Xio. The former was still adding and subtracting numbers in his little notebook, while the latter stuck his head out and asked with interest: "Then let's take the airship this time."
Is there going to be an accident?"
"Don't be so excited. I just want to get to the capital of World Tree as soon as possible." Ian reached out and pushed Xiou's excited little head back. He shook his head and said, "It's all an illusion. I'm riding out alone."
Just as he spoke, Ian recalled the Leian Territory incident, the Magnet Knights who came to attack him, and the Dragon Worshiping Cult of the Three Kingdoms who came all the way to assassinate him.
"Anyway, it's all trivial and can't be called an accident." Ian immediately changed his mind and said, "And the statistical sample is too small. It will be more scientific to do the statistics after I have been out for at least several decades and hundreds of times."
"To be honest, it's hard for me to understand humans."
Although Xiou retracted his head, he still did not stop speaking: "I always don't understand why humans attack and fight each other - in the society of true dragons, they only fight for territory and treasures, and after the fight
No one holds grudges, and when it's over, there will be no offense, and no dragon will deliberately attack the other dragon when they go out.
"Believe me, this is just because the number of dragons is relatively small." Ian shook his head: "When the number of real dragons exceeds a thousand and crowds the entire Terra, we will soon see the murders and murders between dragons.
There’s a war.”
"What I particularly admire about you, Ian."
Xio admired: "No matter what you say, you look very confident, just like you have seen it with your own eyes."
——Of course that’s because I’ve actually seen it.
Ian thought this way, he had really seen the Broken Star War between the dragons in the memory of the steel dragon. At that time, the number of dragons did not exceed a thousand. How could it really be worth more than a thousand?
Xio doesn't know about the Broken Star War, and even the King of the Mountain may not know about it. This is obviously a secret hidden behind the true dragon's past.
She just sighed: "I really hope that I can be as confident as you, Ian, and understand human beings better. Sometimes I am always afraid that I don't understand human society well, so I am timid and make a fool of myself."
"Listen, Xio."
Although it felt like Xiou just had no snacks to eat so he was a little idle, but Ian still said seriously: "You don't need to use words to please or deliberately please other people. You just need to be yourself and show your sincere side. Then
That’s when you are most charming and attractive.”
"Hehe. Is that so?" Xio giggled.
On the side, Anfa blinked and looked at Isengard.
——Does Ian always talk like this?
And Isengard nodded.
——Yes. I have always found it very attractive.
According to the original plan, Ian was going to take a train to the Capital of the World Tree. If nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be an accident on this journey because there were at least five extremist organization teams on the train route conducting attacks along the way.
But this time, with the Yinmen family's airship, the group flew directly to their destination without any trouble.
Isengard's recent hard study and hard training, coupled with his previous training in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, have allowed him to reach the edge of the second energy level. His potion is already in place and he can advance to the next level at any time.
"I plan to advance before going to the Alien Research Institute. At that time, I will be able to obtain the first bloodline ability of 'Refining Light Eclipse Dragon,' but I haven't decided which ability I should choose yet."
This is the reason why Isengard has not advanced. The second level of the Light Erosion Dragon has several different bloodline abilities to choose from. It can strengthen its own 'blood-burning burst', and can control and strengthen various small-scale ones through blood.
The 'blood control' of Warcraft directly and forcefully erodes the minds of large Warcraft, stimulating their physical fitness and 'brain erosion'
As an ancient inheritance with rich skills, the bloodline of the Corroded Light Dragon even has the "neural extension" of specialized armor and etheric armed driving, which allows them to control any machine as if they control their own body.
The bloodline ability that Patrick chose originally was the simplest and most useful 'blood-burning burst'.
But Isengard has no such intention. He prefers 'brain erosion and nerve extension'.
"After all, I rarely fight alone." Isengard explained: "Both Brain Corrosion and Neural Extension can be used for our family's inherited ether breeding equipment. The former can be used to control and strengthen the breeding equipment as a large monster, and then
It is more general-purpose, but the effect will be inferior to colonial equipment."
"I'm thinking, although our Ellen family is specialized in breeding equipment, we don't necessarily have to focus all our abilities on breeding equipment. Ian, you have the ability to develop armor. In that case, I choose 'neural extension, should
better."
"I wanted to hear your opinion, so I didn't advance immediately."
"Is that so? You trust me."
Ian frowned slightly. Of course he would not betray Isengard's trust, so he thought seriously: "Indeed. Your family's situation is very complicated. Let me tell you, Isen, you may not be able to get your family's colonial clothing in the future.
It is even more impossible to use colonial equipment in a family fight."
"In this way, it is 'nerve extension, which is more useful. My territory is developing a new era of etheric weapons for our Yinfeng family. If the idea is correct, I may be able to give you a set!"
"That's not necessary."
Isengard laughed, he just wanted a suggestion: "Xiahui Territory is still in the development stage, you should prepare your own etheric weapons first."
"But you're right. Our family is fighting within us. If I don't expect colonization to be useful, it would be better for me to choose nerve extension."
——It seems that the internal struggle in the empire is also quite serious.
With Xio leaning on his shoulder and gently rubbing the dragon girl's head with one hand, Anfa listened silently to the exchange between Ian and Isengard. He couldn't help but think of his own family and the infighting between the two major factions of Canaan and Moore.
fight.
Whether it is the empire or the elves, there will always be situations where the same family and the same bloodline still have to fight against each other.
The wise men of Canaan and Moor throughout the ages have been thinking about how to solve this problem. However, the window period to solve this problem has passed. There was no unification of Canaan and Moor hundreds of years ago. Since then, it has been difficult to have the opportunity to unify.
Even she was just an 'experiment' created to try to solve this problem.
Sighing softly, the elf girl shook her head slightly. She no longer thought about this issue.
time flies.
The airboat passed through Blackstream Port, Gray Lancastle, and the Ainomore River Basin, crossed the east coast of Half Moon Lake, and then headed northeast, following the sea breeze of the Everlasting Ocean.
The further inland the scenery presented to Ian was completely different from that of the empire. The forests of Canaan Moore were obviously not the same style as those of the Nanling Province. The forests here were larger and more lush, and there were many
They look like very primitive and ancient gymnosperms and tall curly grasses. In addition to shrubs, there are also large areas of fungi of different types distributed in the forest. Some are mushrooms, some are various types of fungus, and some cannot be named at all.
, looks like some kind of particularly huge bamboo shoots.
And the creatures are even more peculiar - most of the creatures in Nanling are metal-based life forms with earth attributes, but those in Canaan Moore are various giant insects with wind attributes and small and medium-sized lizards. Or to be more direct, dinosaurs
Organoids.
Just like the inherent prejudice against certain areas across Terra, every Celestial King demi-human can ride a horse, and the Canaanite Moors really ride big bugs and big lizards as means of transportation. This is of course because there are many locals.
Pterosaurs and riding bees, these domesticated and dexterous creatures are very docile, but they lack endurance and can only be used as short-term transportation tools. In the long term, they still have to use airships.
According to Ian's judgment, this is obviously an alien ecology caused by the spread of some kind of fire. It is only because of Terra's evolution and coordination over thousands of years that this originally abnormal alien ecology has been integrated into Terra.
The ecology has become suitable for the survival of today's elves - the young man looked down from a high altitude and saw many towns built on giant trees. These towns are centered on large tracts of giant wood forests and are connected by various vine suspension bridges and zip lines.
The elves rely on these props and various riding creatures to shuttle back and forth.
Reflecting their keen and dexterous racial characteristics.
The Capital of the World Tree is located in the very center of this ancient Canaanite Moorish jungle.
