Chapter 236 Ultimate Crystal Dragon and Ultimate Ian (4800)
The position of earl and the co-owner of the mountain people gave the entire Nanling to Ian, both secretly and overtly.
Even for a prophet, this gesture is extremely generous. Generally speaking, the prophets of all major forces are stationed in one city and enjoy national-level treatment.
And because Ian is also a noble, he was originally considered a noble, so he was promoted to a noble title and divided into territories. This is considered preferential treatment among preferential treatment.
"If I hadn't vaguely guessed that something was wrong behind his back, I would definitely be 100 satisfied when such a person became emperor - give money to money, give power to power, and won't fight with you. If I decide to use you, I will fully support it.
I feel like Axel is even better than Inaga II in this aspect.”
Muttering in his heart, reality, Ian took another document from the official, then raised his eyebrows: "The Chongling Sect has also completely relaxed its restrictions."
"Sir, it is allowed for a prophet to establish a religion."
In this regard, officials from the Academy of Spiritual Knowledge explained: "Sects in various countries are rising and falling. Some of them are cults, but some are tacitly accepted as orthodox religions. Behind most of them are the existence of fourth and fifth energy levels or prophets.
You are a true prophet, and it is your duty to build a sect and educate the people."
"As long as it complies with the rules and regulations of the empire and meets the needs of the empire, it is your qualification and responsibility to worship the Chongling Sect, which was born out of the Dragon God's faith."
"I see."
Ian nodded slightly. It seemed that the Empire had secretly investigated the teachings and origins of the Chongling Sect, but this was also the reason why he did not hide it.
The purpose is to mislead the empire, thinking that he is just to gather the ancient dragon god faith to lead the mountain people - but from the empire's point of view, a prophet, no matter what his purpose is, he will eventually become the original wanderer.
The mountain people outside the empire reunited and integrated into the imperial system.
Although it seems a little difficult to govern now, after the death of the prophet, this land and power will eventually be integrated back into the empire.
As a large empire that has lasted for thousands of years, the Setar Empire is patient in this regard and is willing to give preferential treatment to the 'Prophet'.
This is why Ian feels that from this aspect, Axel is really a good emperor. He is capable, strong, generous and courageous.
But from another perspective
"Allowing the Gnostic Academy to conduct so many experiments that treat human life as nothing."
Eyes slightly lowered, Ian sighed in his heart: "I really don't know what Axel wants to do. If he really upholds Inaga II's ideals as he said, what kind of ghost ideal is that?"
"Forget it, the people in Terra are crazy. It's better to think about your own family affairs than to think about these people." "I don't know what's going on with Shark and his brother, and Qingtong (Ether Crystal Dragon)" spirit
As soon as he moved, Ian waved his hand and dismissed all the officials, saying that he wanted to be quiet, and everyone else also retreated.
At this moment, Ian has resonated his spirit with the crystal dragon and Shark, and sensed what they were doing. The breath of the ocean came to his face, and Shark and Qingtong actually moved together, swimming in the sea.
I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but at least this time, Shark Shark didn’t take Qingtong to crash into boats. On the contrary, Shark Shark was taking the young crystal dragon to wander around in various sea areas.
[This is delicious] Facing a swordfish with dark red iron patterns on its body, Shark Shark introduced the crystal dragon and Qing Tong also nodded seriously: [This is delicious! ]
[This, smash the shell, there is a lot of meat] Shark Shark said to a huge clam, and the crystal dragon nodded clearly: [There is a lot of meat! Smash the shell!]
[This is all bones, it’s unpalatable!] [It’s unpalatable!]
Shark Shark is like a kind big brother and a patient elder, constantly teaching Qingtong all kinds of knowledge in the South China Sea and commenting on the delicacy of various creatures.
Qingtong also studied hard, absorbed the knowledge of Shark, and grew up rapidly. "Not bad."
Ian nodded happily.
Originally, Shark Shark always had a relaxed and casual temperament, and Ian couldn't force him to change.
It changed its nature. Unexpectedly, after having Qingtong as its younger brother, it actually took the initiative to curb its random behavior and started to demonstrate seriously.
Qingtong is also very obedient and has no temper because he is a crystal dragon and Shark is just a steel-armored shark. He studies seriously and sincerely and acquires all necessary knowledge.
For Ian, Shark Shark and Qingtong are very important parts of his arrangement in the South China Sea.
Just as Yafoda said, he wants to see what kind of brilliance Ian's ambitions and dreams can bloom. He will use his own power to promote the formation of the Empire's South Ridge Special Economic Zone, and around Harrison Port
The South China Sea is undoubtedly the top priority of the economic zone.
There are no third-level sea kings nearby, but there are quite a few second-level sea beasts. Among other things, the natives still have a giant giant eel left, so safety cannot be guaranteed 100%.
Therefore, in Ian's plan, Shark Shark and Qingtong must advance to the third level within ten years.
This is actually not difficult: Qingtong itself is an ether crystal dragon with amazing potential. As long as Ian trains it, it is quite easy to advance to the third level.
And Shark Shark is already at the second energy level, and has inheritance. Coupled with the True Dragon technology that Ian has obtained, Shark Shark will definitely be able to transform and take a different path from ordinary steel-armored sharks.
By then, the two giant sea king-level monsters will be enough to protect the South China Sea trade route.
The only thing he is worried about is that Shark Shark and Qingtong may not get along well. But so far, Shark Shark and Qing Tong are getting along quite well.
【And more!】
Just when Ian was comforted by this scene, Shark's energetic thoughts rang out, and its attention was locked on a ship in the distance: [This, it's great to bump into!]
Qingtong looked at the ship and repeated seriously: [It feels so good to bump into it!] "Hey!"
Ian's face suddenly darkened. The emotional shark has not changed his nature at all, he is just teaching his children to proceed step by step?
But just when Ian was about to send a message through the air so that Shark Shark and Qingtong were about to win, he suddenly had a thought: "Something's wrong."
"That ship is not a merchant ship, nor is it the ship of the Empire or Canaan Moore. Is it the Fire Land again?" "Moreover"
"Stop!"
Ian's voice rang in the minds of Shasha and Qingtong: "You two little idiots, can't you see that it's a trap?"
【Oh?!】【Oh!】
Hearing Ian's voice, Sharksha and Qingtong immediately stopped and began to circle in the sea cheering: [Boss! Boss!]
"There was no one on that ship."
After comforting Shasha and Qingtong for a while, Ian said in a deep voice: "You two, take a closer look. Have you noticed anything?"
【Really?】【No breath of life!】
Both sharks and etheric crystal dragons have strong life perception capabilities. Although they were deceived at first, they quickly discovered that they were deliberately wandering in the Great Maze of the South China Sea. There did not seem to be any
Any life exists.
It is just a simple target used to lure the shark, which has been ordered by Ian to follow the order of hitting all ships that approach the sea area where the Great Maze is located without permission, to hit its bait!
Then
"There is probably a dye or a positioning device on that ship. If you collide and return home like this, you may have exposed the hidden entrance to the Great Maze of the South China Sea."
Ian narrowed his eyes, murmured to himself, and then smiled: "Sure enough, I said, it is impossible for the Feiyan Land side to give up on the Great Maze of the South China Sea so simply."
"Although there are already adventurers on the surface to explore, but who is really capable and will take risks step by step?"
The identity of the master of the Shark Labyrinth is actually not kept secret, or in other words, it cannot be kept secret. Based on the behavior of this shark, even a fool can see what it is doing.
In this case, someone must be planning on Shark to see if they can find an opportunity to follow Shark directly into the lair of the Lord of the Labyrinth and reach the sky in one step.
However, Shark Shark only looks silly, but is actually very clever. Ordinary adventurers cannot keep up with its speed in the sea, let alone find the entrance and exit of the deeply hidden maze. So until now, all this is just a simple idea.
.
But Feiyandi is different from Feiyandi, which has a country's power behind it. Among other things, it is not difficult to track a second-level monster.
【Boss, what should I do?】
When Shark Shark heard that the other party actually used him as a breakthrough point, he immediately became angry: [To hit or not to hit!] [To hit!] and Qingtong on the side started to get angry: [No to hit!]
I don’t know if this little crystal dragon understood this meaning, but anyway, it shouted excitedly: [Crash together!]
"No collision. Just a remote electric blast."
Now that he has seen through it, Ian is not too concerned about the fate of the ship: "Shark, you also need to practice your thunder ability. Your wisdom needs the source of thunder to stimulate. When your wisdom is high enough, I will
I will teach you meditation and a series of other inheritances. When the time comes, you will be my acting sea master in the South China Sea."
"At that time, as long as you advance to the third level, there will be no sea beasts below the fourth level that you can fight against.#
hand!
【Oh oh oh oh!】
Hearing the pie that Ian had drawn for him, Shark Shark immediately became happy, while the little Crystal Dragon on the side looked blankly at his big brother spinning around happily, and then showed a 'poor' emotion as he communicated with Ian.
"You little guy, you also want some advice on becoming stronger?"
Ian could feel the crystal dragon's agile thinking. It was not only stronger than Shark Shark, but even stronger than its mother: "Just follow Shark Shark with peace of mind, eat as much as you want, and practice your coordination well."
"When you grow up and can gradually control your body and other 'clones', I will teach you the essence of the 'True Dragon Soul'"
Now that things have happened, now that Ian has the "Soul of the Source", looking back, Qingtong's three bodies are very simple.
Qingtong's soul was integrated through the insect swarm neural network. One of its bodies developed and became the main body, while the other two bodies became bodies like the true dragon prosthetic body. They can wait for it to come at any time and regard it as a backup.
's life' to save one's life.
If Qingtong's true body dies but other prosthetics still exist, its dragon soul will be transferred to the other prosthetics and resurrected.
However, when controlling one body, Qingtong cannot control the second one at the same time, which results in the main body being strong but the separated body being weak. Even if the prosthetic body is resurrected, the strength is lost, which is quite bad.
Therefore, out of instinct, Qingtong chose 'Shark' and 'Elan', as well as 'Ian' as the pilots of his other two bodies to help them practice and exercise.
In this way, even if Qingtong's body dies, it can be resurrected in a body that has undergone considerable training.
Not to mention Ian, Shark Shark and Elan would never compete with it. Even if they really competed with it, generally speaking, they would not be able to compete with it, the original owner of the dragon soul.
This is equivalent to borrowing the power of other people to support one's own life. Of course, Qingtong's prosthetic body can also allow other beings to realize the life essence of the etheric crystal dragon, and then rapidly improve their spiritual realm.
Dragons use human souls to nourish their lives, and people use dragon bodies to nourish their souls.
Both Shark and Elan have benefited a lot, as evidenced by Shark's rapid improvement in wisdom, and Elan also sensed the source of essence in advance before becoming a sublimator. This is a characteristic that can only be possessed by a true genius.
Even Ian can't say there are no gains.
Of course, if you can live without dying, you will die. After all, according to the situation on the way of the insect swarm, merging the three bodies into one can quickly increase Qingtong's strength.
On the way to the swarm of insects, the three-headed ultimate dragon Qingtong is the most powerful general under Ian's command.
"Regardless of whether it's the right way or not, I can actually learn from this integration technique."
Ian thought deeply in his heart: "Now, my body is also divided into the current 'Fairy Ian' and the 'Immovable Castle Ian' of Dragon Island. The fusion of the two is my most complete "Steel"
First
Drive Ian'."
"But there must be losses in the fusion process, not just the physical matching, but also the coordination and unification of the two bodies. Perhaps I can also prepare for my own fusion in advance through Qingtong's special physical condition."
"Yes, his crystal dragon can be fused into the ultimate crystal dragon."
"Then why can't I, Ian, merge into Ultimate Ian?"
Thinking of this, Ian became more interested - although it was just mentioned casually, it could indeed be used as a trump card.
After all, the fusion of the fairy body is much faster than the fusion of the crystal dragon. As long as he prepares a cockpit for Fairy Ian in his 'immovable fortress body' in advance, he can return anytime and anywhere.
Peak condition!
"It seems that it needs to be repaired on Dragon Island."
After deciding on the next plan, Ian asked Shark Shark and Qingtong to blow up the bait boat in Feiyandi from a long distance, and then continued to divert his attention.
Transferred to the 'Crystal Dragon Clone' far away in the 'Atlan Breeding Place'.
Coincidentally, there is also an ancient hidden existence that Ian is very interested in. "The Dragon of Terra, the inheritance of Terra Drakr."
"Although I already know all the secrets in the Skyfall Disaster, the inheritance of the Dragon of Terra itself is equivalent to the entire civilization of the previous era. If there is a chance, it must not be let go."
Not to mention, Ian had a vague guess in his mind.
——The Lord of the Labyrinth of Terra may indeed be talking about the Beast of Thousand Stars.
——But if you have to put it this way, if Terra is regarded as a labyrinth, then the real master of the labyrinth is obviously the Dragon of Terra, right?
Perhaps the Beast of Thousand Planets can compete for the position of the hidden boss, but the real boss should be the Dragon of Terra.
"No matter what the result is, the remains of the Dragon of Terra happen to be where the Crystal Dragon's body is. Now I have the complete gift of the Star Soul, which can completely release my soul to any area. My strength has greatly increased, and I can just use the Crystal Dragon.
We can also check the situation and avoid the suspicion of the local guards."
After all, people and dragons receive different attention. If a one-year-old crystal dragon hatched in a breeding ground ran into the restricted area, most people would think that the dragon was too naughty, and no one would think it was an act of espionage.
However, just when Ian was about to descend on the body of the ether crystal dragon.
He vaguely sensed that one of the two crystal dragon bodies located in Atlan's breeding ground was already occupied by someone.
And that person can't be anyone else. "Elan?"
Ian called softly. "Brother?!"
Relying on the mutual induction of the crystal dragon's body, the will that is currently controlling the crystal dragon's body and nourishes its own soul responded with great surprise: "You are here!"
open one's eyes.
A warm sea breeze blew across the sea and reached the shore. The breeding coast around the giant city of Atlanta was sunny. The sun shone directly on the sea. There were many fish, corals, jellyfish, seaweeds and other fish in the transparent water.
Various aquatic creatures are wandering leisurely.
The vibrant blue offshore sea, this is what Ian saw when he arrived. Of course, the most important thing is not this.
"Brother, you are in Canaan Moore, how are you?"
Turning his head sideways, the slender head of the crystal dragon gave Ian a unique visual sense, and the moment he caught his eye, he saw another small dragon with a silver-green body.
His younger brother Elan was controlling the dragon body, looking at him in surprise, and then happily stepped forward and rubbed him affectionately: "I miss you so much——"
Because the crystal dragon has no arms, even if Elan wanted to pounce, he could only rub it with his neck. "I miss you too, Elan."
Ian said softly as he hugged his brother with his dragon body.
It was only then that his mind truly calmed down, and a feeling of relaxation filled his soul.
1 - Finally, there is no need to think about those ancient secrets, those emperors' conspiracies, those hidden calculations behind the Academy of Spiritual Knowledge, the Land of Flying Flames and the identity of the prophet.
He just needs to feel and respond to this pure longing.
