When the people of the entire Bis continent were troubled, the initiator of everything was no exception, and his troubles seemed to be more and more urgent than others - he was destined to be the one to challenge the gods and demons, but Cohen suddenly found that he still had
There was no weapon at hand, so he first visited the imperial treasure house, which was also his own secret treasure.
In the huge cave, there are layers of magic barriers neatly arranged. The endless cave is divided into hundreds of equal spaces, and each one contains boxes, boxes and other things. These thousands of items
The packages come in different sizes and shapes, but the only thing they have in common is the value of the items inside - they are very, very precious.
Abundant magic fluctuations ripple in the space through the packaging, with various properties, just like a magic museum.
"Sir, the materials sent by the Vampires are stored here. They are very unique. In addition to a large amount of fine forging ore, there are also the fangs of the ancient Vampires, which are items used to implement the graceful embrace. The stone statues placed here are
The original function of the heart of the only Duke of the ghost race is to provide powerful defense to the user, and this one has been proven by research to be the most powerful eye of Warcraft in history."
The person in charge of this warehouse is a major general of the Guards. He is pointing to the materials piled in the warehouse and introducing the treasures of the first secret warehouse of Sibia to the emperor beside him: "The other side is sent by the elves.
The materials are mostly magic crystals of perfect quality, as well as some plant-based magic items, but the most precious items are a set of soul stones that imprison the souls of ancient rebellious elves. These are precious materials that can be directly used for forging.
, can be found but cannot be sought; ahead are the supplies of the Aquatic Tribe..."
The real owner of the secret library, Cohen Keda, was only wearing plain casual clothes at this time. Although he walked into a certain space from time to time and picked up the things inside to observe, his indifferent expression and eyes showed that his mind was not on that.
Regarding the treasures, even the major general who was responsible for the introduction could see this - his commander was not only uninterested today, but also lacked a basic consciousness of going through the motions. He didn't know what happened to make the commander so absent-minded, but the big shot
This kind of trouble cannot be solved by a major general. He can clearly explain the functions and uses of each treasure to his superiors, even if he, as a logistics staff, has fulfilled his duties.
After looking at the tribute items paid by the barbarian clan over the years, Cohen stopped and asked in a seemingly casual tone: "Are you familiar with everything here?"
"Yes, sir, I am familiar with everything." The major general stood at attention, raised his head and held his chest high: "I am the best in the entire empire!"
"Then tell me, how much bonus effect can the things here bring to weapons or armor?" Cohen's tone was still very casual: "How powerful an enemy can these things allow me to defeat?"
"Leaving aside the commander's personal power, there are hundreds of items here that can be called rare and can be used to create top-notch weapons and armor; there are dozens of items that can be called unique and can be used to create the pinnacle of weapons and armor.
Work!" Having said this, the major general thought for a moment: "With the manufacturing techniques and manpower we currently have, we can completely guarantee the above effects!"
"Moya, Helter, Jack, Mafa." Cohen turned his head: "Have you seen the armor of these people? What do you think?"
"Yes, we have studied these sets of armor. Sir, we are not yet able to reach that level...the items here cannot create that kind of standard equipment." The major general's tone lowered: "Perhaps, we
There is a certain chance of creating something slightly inferior..."
"That is the standard equipment of the upper clan." Cohen did not show any signs of discouragement: "My possible opponents, their equipment should be more sophisticated and sharper - from your current perspective, do you think we can get it?
Something to fight against?”
"I'm ashamed, sir." The major general shook his head: "We haven't seen the path of the superior clan's equipment yet."
"You don't have to be ashamed. I should thank you for your honesty. Let's go out!" Cohen didn't ask him anything else and walked straight out of the cave. As soon as the huge stainless steel door was opened, he saw someone standing by the door.
people.
In the past, Bai Ying always had a way to put herself in a corner wherever she was. She would stand in the same posture so that other people's eyes would not stay on her too much. But today, she did not lower her head.
The gauze scarf around her slender neck was very conspicuous, and the turquoise colored stripes complemented her fair complexion.
Cohen looked at Bai Ying and made a "please" gesture to the major general beside him. Then he gave her a rare smile and said, "I thought you would play at home for a few more days. Why, Dragon Island has been left there now."
Can’t help you anymore?”
"It's too late to rush to draw a clear line now. It's not just me, the entire dragon clan is like this. In the eyes of everyone, we are the same as you." Bai Ying's answer was very direct: "Although I don't
I'll expect your gratitude, but can't you be nicer?"
"Being grateful is not normal. How long can it last?" Cohen approached her: "You represent the Dragon Clan now, and my attitude is just right."
"As long as you can convince yourself, I don't care." Bai Ying was not angry, and stretched out his hand to Cohen a long and flat jade box: "This is a gift from the Dragon Clan. I hope it will be helpful to you."
It has to be said that Bai Ying's cool demeanor looked natural. In contrast, Cohen's expression was obviously stiff. Opening the jade box, Cohen found three rows of narrow rhombus-shaped scales inside.
There are white, blue, green, golden, and black, three to five pieces of each type, and the color is from light to dark. There is no magic fluctuation, but in the light glossy reflection, there is clearly another kind of energy being released.
, directly penetrated Cohen's body, making all the muscles in his body tense.
Cohen asked with confusion: "Is this a dragon scale?"
"Can the Dragon Clan give you other scales?" Bai Ying was furious: "Different from the armor the elders gave you before, those are just ordinary dragon scales, and these are reverse scales."
"Ni Lin?" Cohen's eyes fell on Bai Ying's silk scarf, and he found a few tiny traces of blood under Bai Ying's throat.
Bai Ying behaved very openly: "You guessed it right, they have all been refined, the shape is reduced, and the effect is restrained."
"It is said that this kind of scale armor is the weak point of the dragon clan. Anyone who touches it will die. How could you take it off and give it to me?" Even though he was in a depressed period where his emotions were suppressed, Cohen was still moved when he heard Bai Ying's words.
"The reverse scale is the most special scale on the dragon's body, but it is not our weakness." Bai Ying explained: "The dragon is a living creature, and its real weakness is not much different from other creatures, and it has nothing to do with this scale.
.It can regulate and strengthen the dragon's emotional response, allowing the dragon to control its own emotions at will. The most special function is to feel the other person's emotional changes at the same time."
"Control yourself and feel the other person?"
"A simple example, the giant dragon can easily tell who is the enemy and who is the friend, and can even detect the other party's desires and thoughts. This is all the result of Ni Lin." Bai Ying continued to explain: "On the other hand, in the giant dragon
When launching an attack, the dragon's power can be enhanced by the reverse scale, achieving an effect several times higher than its own. Moreover, with the protection of the reverse scale, external mental attacks are ineffective against the dragon."
"This gift is too heavy. This golden piece belongs to the clan leader, right?" Cohen's fingers tightened on the jade box. Let's not talk about the efficacy for the moment. To gather such a number of reverse scales, I am afraid that the dragon clan elders
Everyone has a share!
After a long silence, Cohen's fingers rested on one of the scales and said slowly: "This white one is very beautiful."
"That's my mother's!" Bai Ying's face was stained with a trace of blush, he stretched out his hand, and there was a translucent dragon scale in his palm, which was one size smaller than the reverse scale in the jade box: "This one is...
mine!"
"I deserve this great gift." Cohen hesitated: "Although you said it very lightly, I can still estimate the importance of Nilin to the Dragon Clan..."
"I didn't plan to give it to you, I just lent it to you. I also want to make it into a necklace and keep it for myself in the future." Bai Ying patted the scale armor into Cohen's hand: "Remember to return it to us, otherwise, the dragon clan who loses Ni Scale will
The soul cannot rest in peace even after death...Don't show such a traitorous face, at least this is what is recorded in the legend of the Dragon Clan."
"I will discuss with the noble clan leader, if there is a chance." Cohen closed the jade box solemnly, and after a while of silence, he smiled at Bai Ying: "But no matter what happens, my gratitude to the Dragon Clan will probably last a long time.
It’s been a while.”
"The entire Dragon Clan was deceived by you. It would be weird to believe you." Bai Ying handed over another special animal skin scroll: "This is what the clan leader asked me to send together. It records the function of the reverse scale and the method of unsealing it.
, you can do your own research, and if you want another piece of reverse scale, you won’t be able to do it anymore.”
"Yes, so many precious things have been delivered, and no one has any more private possessions..." Cohen nodded solemnly.
Bai Ying pushed one end of the silk scarf to the back of his neck and looked directly at the profiteer in front of him: "Looking at your face, is it true that the rumors about your health are true?"
"It's not as serious as everyone thinks, it's just a minor problem." Holding the jade box, Cohen sat on a stone near the door and looked at the light of the cave in the distance: "Feline told you everything?"
"Yes, she can't get away during the negotiation, so let me watch you to prevent her condition from getting worse." Bai Ying stood next to Cohen, looking at the light at the entrance of the cave. At this time, in this huge cave
Curry, there were only two of them: "But after I finished the official duties assigned by the clan leader, I turned back into a little maid. How can I have the right to look after the emperor?"
"Are you still in the mood to ridicule others? There will be no emperor in Sibia soon." Cohen snorted: "We only have enemies."
"I thought you were afraid that you wouldn't have any enemies." Bai Ying's tone became more taunting: "Now it seems that our kitchen is finally safe."
"Okay!" Like a spring that was touched, Cohen jumped up and shouted at Bai Ying: "You are not me, okay! There are many things you don't know!"
"Do you know me? Do you know the Dragon Clan? You don't know either, but that doesn't stop you from tying the Dragon Clan to the chariot!" Bai Ying's tone remained at the level of a maid, but his words were tit for tat with Cohen: "We don't
There are so many things we need to know about you, but we need a steady and enterprising leader. The fight for hegemony was your decision early in the morning, no problem, we will follow, but you hesitated because of your lack of preparation before, this is unacceptable to anyone!"
"I'm better at making sarcastic remarks than you, but fighting gods and demons is another thing!" Cohen yelled back: "It's easiest to lose a war with great force! But will Sibia still exist? I'm here for these people.
Life and death are a matter of nerves!"
"Really?" Bai Ying smiled: "I heard that you have been here for two days. What results have you achieved so far?"
"Trust me, you don't really want to know." Cohen replied cryptically: "But I will figure it out anyway."
"There is not much time until the end of the negotiation. It may end today and tomorrow." Bai Ying said: "If there is no new support, the situation outside will not last long. Once Sibia's belief is established, you will
They will take you away... If I were you, I would make protecting myself my primary goal."
"Congratulations, the first politician of the Dragon Clan, you have seen the ending of this puppet show." Cohen smiled without any mockery: "It is my destiny to stage a comeback, but I am not sure how powerful this turnaround will be.
How big, how many people will die from this..."
Having said this, the muscles around Cohen's eyes relaxed: "After all, I am just a caretaker emperor."
"Guarding the emperor?" Bai Ying was stunned for a moment and then asked: "It is impossible for the Xia Mai Dynasty to be restored. Even the descendants of the first princess, don't they have your blood and be named after you?"
"Ah, that's not what I meant. I meant that I feel sorry for myself." Cohen brought the topic back calmly: "Fichet entrusted his empire and people to me, not for me to kill them."
"You think this way not out of kindness, but because you are afraid that you won't be able to do the job, so no one will praise you." Because he didn't know Cohen's true thoughts, Bai Ying had doubts in his eyes: "Speaking from the perspective of an emperor.
, you have already given your people a lot, and their life and death are decided by themselves - after all, how can anyone be immortal?"
"You misunderstood my thinking. If this thing succeeds, everything will go well, but I think more about failure. What will happen if I fail? Can I save some people?" Cohen explained: "I
It is my nature to take risks, but now I find that this country and its people are my biggest shackles - I am responsible for them being in this situation due to my influence. To tell the truth,
Sometimes I really want to crush a few to death to relieve my anger."
"Crush to death?" Bai Ying's eyes widened: "For example..."
"Before coming here, I met with a group of officers. When asked what to do in case of failure, one brat suggested using all the magic crystals in stock to make a super-large explosive magic circle and bury it deep underground to trigger it - no officer.
There is no point in the existence of Bis Continent! Even if we can't destroy the entire Bis Continent, we can tear it into rags - his mother can think of such a shit method, but I can't do it in public yet
Slap him!"
"Did you praise him?" Bai Ying shook his head: "Well done!"
"Don't look at me like a gangster." Cohen shrugged indifferently: "It's easier to praise!"
"These are all small things, but you really don't have much time." Bai Ying took advantage of Cohen's relaxation to insert the most important sentence: "Do you know what your biggest bad habit is?"
"Too elegant in temperament? Extremely smart? A genius from birth? Sometimes too domineering?" In Bai Ying's continued denial, someone began to list his own characteristics: "Beating and scolding subordinates? Fraudulent? Greedy? Not sentimental.
Special...enough! What on earth is it?"
"Hide your strength. You are unwilling to try your best in anything you encounter, at least not actively." Bai Ying's eyes sparkled, and someone was heartbroken by her sight: "You are the hero and leader in everyone's hearts, but you would rather
You are opportunistic and unwilling to take advantage of others. You do not regard this empire as your own. You only regard yourself as a mercenary - don't deny it in a hurry. You will let others complete a part of everything, no matter why you do it, but this is a mercenary.
Wrong choices, few people have such understanding."
"You don't realize that this is an era where heroes and victory determine everything." Before Cohen spoke, Bai Ying finished his words: "As long as you win, nothing is a problem, but if you want to awaken mankind through fighting... then
impossible!"
"If you don't wake them up, if two wolves are gone, another tiger will come." Cohen sighed: "What's the use of that?"
"Everything in the world has a way to survive. Even dragons sometimes cannot catch fish. Think of the most direct and suitable way!" Bai Ying's indifferent expression revealed incomparable determination: "We have you! You win.
Now, you exist and you have the right to decide! Stop hiding your power, the decisive battle is right in front of you, it’s time to warm up - the kitchen of gods and demons is waiting for the conqueror."
"Driving a tiger to devour a wolf?" Cohen considered, suddenly his eyes flashed, and his whole movements froze. Then, a curse word popped out of his mouth: "I was almost fooled!"
Bai Ying did not ask what Cohen had been deceived and how she planned to solve it. She just looked at him quietly, watching his face change like a June ocean, and finally closed her eyes and returned to a suddenly enlightened calm.
Bai Ying took the translucent reverse scale from Cohen's hand, drew an invisible magic circle on it with his fingertips, and then gently put it back into Cohen's hand - gradually, through Cohen's body, a wave of
A kind of power belonging to the giant dragon spreads in the cave, but it does not have the arrogance that oppresses everything, but more like the indifference of a wise man.
Cohen slowly opened his eyes, and there was a deep mark hidden in his pupils. Before Bai Ying could speak, he opened the jade box again, and gently touched the golden scales with his fingers - vast and deep.
The power emanates through his hands, echoing violently in the cave!
As his fingers moved, the emotions in Cohen's eyes continued to increase and gradually became richer, and his breathing also tended to be normal...according to his thoughts, there was a difference between short, long, and slow.
"I understand." Cohen finally nodded: "Thank you for the reminder and your reverse scale."
"As long as you figure it out, it's all worth it."
"I can't explain it to you now." Cohen was silent for a while, looked at Bai Ying, and then pinched the jade box in his hand: "This will change many people and things... Forget it, there is no other better way...
…Please help me prepare some food and drink, I will be very busy in the next few days...”
"Everything will be arranged properly." Bai Ying replied, "Don't worry."
"Then, we'll see you later - get ready for the foundry!" Cohen's last words were spoken to the outside of the cave. The sound waves hit the side door at the outer end of the passage and "buzzed". While answering there,
