Since there can only be one dragon soul in the Sovereign Soul Banner, it is natural to choose the strongest one.
Aldington disappeared into thin air, and Allen’s soul didn’t know where it was, but the best choice was naturally the Star Epic Dragon King: Adelaide
And where is Adelaide's?
This seems to be an obvious question.
…
…
Cheng Lin felt strange when he climbed this mountain peak again.
Although he had just climbed to the top of the mountain a few days ago and witnessed the entire process of Adelaide opening the magic circle, it was just one day for him, but countless hours had passed for the dragon.
This mountain peak and this island have changed.
There are fewer and fewer buildings around, but the roads are endless.
Just like the spiral spire at the top of Dragon Palace, the path throughout the mountain is also spiral.
Pure stone road.
Thanks to the closure of the island, basic functions are still preserved.
Only some wild grass grows in the gaps.
Cheng Lin turned off the searchlight and ran with the help of dim starlight.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the top of the mountain.
This place has been built into a platform, and the original mountain top seems to have been flattened.
A palace with a familiar appearance but much smaller size quietly appeared in front of Cheng Lin.
…
"call."
After exhaling, Cheng Lin wiped some sweat from his forehead, turned on the searchlight again, and walked forward with the help of the light.
The dark palace looks like a monster that chooses and devours people in the night.
Cheng Lin walked slowly to the front door and saw two huge stone pillars supporting a deep porch.
Just as Cheng Lin was about to walk in, he saw a huge phantom striding out from inside.
That's Allen.
Its soul still maintains the appearance of its peak, strong, powerful, and impetuous.
There are wisps of illusory flames falling from the edge of the soul body, touching the ground, and disappearing again.
But there was no real, vivid expression in those eyes.
Wandering in a daze and unconsciously.
When it saw Cheng Lin, it looked over as if aware, then moved away and continued to wander around the two stone pillars and the corridor.
Just like a dedicated doorman.
"pity……"
Cheng Lin looked at it and murmured a word.
I don't know whether he was regretful that he couldn't keep Allen, or whether he was lamenting the scene when it burned him and turned into a blazing sun.
The light passed through Allen and moved slowly above the bluestone stone gate, reflecting the two characters carved on it.
Seeing this, Cheng Lin raised the corner of his mouth, stopped staying too much, and continued to move forward.
…
After passing through the deep corridor, the space suddenly opens up.
A hall that was almost the same as the old Dragon Palace except for its size appeared in front of him.
On the top of the hall is an open-air hole, surrounded by crystals or gems that can reflect light.
With the help of these, the hall is much brighter.
Cheng Lin turned off the flashlight button with a "pop" sound, and then looked forward.
In the shadow, there is a long, huge table, but this long table is not made of bronze, but of stone.
On the long table, there was a huge skeleton lying on it.
Even if it is just lying down, the height is nearly half the height of the hall.
The bones were gray and white, as if they had been piled up for countless years. There was no trace of flesh and blood left, only the bones covered with dust, as if they were lying on the long table to take a nap.
"Adelaide..."
Cheng Lin whispered the name, and then saw a hazy shadow rising from the bones.
That was Adelaide's soul. It was perfectly overlapped with his own bones before. In addition to the not very bright light, Cheng Lin didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until it woke up from its sleep and stood up that Cheng Lin could see it clearly.
.
"Woo..."
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew in from the corridor of the main hall, making a whining sound, and also blew up some dust on the long table.
Adelaide's soul silently lowered his head and stared at Cheng Lin without any expression.
Its soul lacks color, showing a light gray color.
Its appearance is illusory, not as real as other dragon souls, but it contains a certain sense of reality, as if... it has a little more weight than other souls.
"We meet again."
Cheng Lin lowered his hands, stood quietly in the hall, looked at Adelaide, and spoke.
Adelaide's eyes were blank, and it was obviously impossible to answer. However, when Cheng Lin's voice fell, a faint light suddenly lit up on the long table.
"kindness?"
Cheng Lin was slightly startled, hesitated, stepped forward, and stood on the long table.
Only then did he see clearly that the glowing position was exactly under the right claw of the skeleton.
When he walked over, he saw that there was a dragon scale in Adelaide's right paw, a multi-colored dragon scale.
At this moment, the dust-covered scales emitted a soft glow, illuminating the surrounding palm-sized area, presenting a dreamlike effect.
What's this?
Adelaide's scales?
Yes, this should be the scale on which its soul rests, just like the dragon lords I encountered before.
Cheng Lin thought quickly and understood.
Immediately, he stretched out his right hand and took the colorful dragon scale from the gap between his huge claws.
The next moment, Adelaide's voice suddenly appeared in his mind!
No, not sound, but consciousness!
A piece of information!
It is a way of transmitting information that is different from language, similar to narration and his "synaesthesia" ability.
Directly pour a piece of consciousness into the recipient's mind.
After calming down, Cheng Lin began to read this message carefully, and then discovered that it turned out to be a "letter":
"Dear friend, the unknown destiny revelation, the namer of Dawn Dragon Palace:
Hello, when you read this letter, you will think about it, I have been dead for a long time.
Death is not bad for me. I even always look forward to its arrival. Now that it has finally come, I feel a little afraid. This is really a helpless joke. It seems that life cannot transcend instinct after all.
The climate of Long Island has four blurred seasons - oh, I forgot to introduce it. This is the name I gave this island. It is humid all year round, with green grass and rich products. This last point is really good news.
After all, there are thousands of dragon servants living here, as well as me. If we want to meet their basic living needs and our common food needs, it is absolutely impossible without a good environment.
There are abundant stones here - used to build city walls and halls.
There are abundant forests that can be cut down to make houses and various tools.
Of course, the most important thing is to cook food - thanks to the climate here, if there is a cold winter here, the trees on the entire island may not be enough to burn for long.
There is also some ore here, although it is not much, it is still enough to support outsiders like us.
The ritual you gave changes the surrounding environment, causing the seawater to move periodically within a certain range around the island. This brings us rich seafood and is also the main source of food.
The only trouble is that if you eat too much fish, you will eventually get sick of it.
I have tried to leave the island, but every time I get out of the fog, I feel extremely tired, which means that the external environment has completely entered the apocalypse.
In order to try to get rid of the influence of the End Law, I tried not to feed the new dragon servants blood. In theory, this can make them immune to the harm of the End Law.
However, this experiment failed. They are so weak and often live less than a year. This is a sad thing.
Under the premise that I am the only one left in the dragon clan, although these servants are of low life, they have become my only comfort.
That's a bit far-fetched...it's funny, after all, I'm old.
The construction speed of New Dragon City was much faster than I expected.
Because the scale is small, I don't have to spend time managing it. After thoroughly exploring the entire island and surrounding sea areas, I have nothing to do but continue to delve into the mysteries of magic.
Thanks to magic, it is so difficult. The more I understand it, the more I feel insignificant. This also helps me resist endless boredom and loneliness.
Thirty-eight years after the establishment of New Dragon City, I figured out some tips on the ritual circle, which can also store the soul of the dragon servant.
I designed a set of rules for this purpose to record the style of the Age of Dragons.
Well, I believe you have seen it, and I wonder if you are surprised.
In the ninety-second year, I made a new discovery in the field of 'time'.
I was surprised to observe the underlying bond between 'time' and destiny. The two are inseparable in a sense.
For example, the most basic thing is that if time is cut into points, then at each node, the river of fate will branch into countless tributaries.
They are like pieces of hard stones scattered randomly in the river.
If the giant dragon family is compared to an ignorant, blindfolded fish, then how lucky it is to have escaped countless disasters and grown up to this day. However, this time it did not escape after all.
Many years ago, I reluctantly poked a tiny hole in the piece of cloth covering my eyes and tried to peek ahead. Unfortunately, it was too late to change direction.
But it’s not all without benefits. For example, I foresaw your first arrival, and now, I’ve met you for the second time.
Yes, before the end of my life, I once again received some enlightenment.
Destiny tells me that you will return again and come with a new civilization.
You will pass through the corners of the southern continent, cross the deep sea filled with white mist, and enter the dragon's cemetery. Explore this place, excavate this place, and study this place... Well, although I personally don't like to be used for research, but for
This is a good thing for the dragon civilization.
As for disturbing the soul...the soul after the consciousness dissipates is just a ball of nothingness, so don't worry about it.
By the way, I also foresaw one little thing.
Fate tells me that besides you, there is another 'human' who will enter the Dawn Dragon Palace. When she touches my remains, she will gain part of my power.
I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately I can’t see it anymore.
As for you, my friend, I have thought about it and it is difficult to find a gift that will not be afraid of the damage of time.
Finally, I decided to hand over my understanding of magic to you, thinking that it would be of some help to you.
I hide it in my natal dragon scale, hoping it can help you save some time on the long journey of exploring power.
Sincerely, the last dragon, Adelaide, recorded in the year 105 of the New Calendar."
