?After the meeting in Muxi City, Todd, who left the soul space, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the mountains in the distance, and fell into deep thought.
Evie, who was standing next to him, noticed something strange about him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"If someone told you that they could help you get rid of your human body and transform into other races, would you agree?"
Evie looked at Todd strangely: "Isn't the answer obvious? If you can get a more powerful body, no one will refuse power."
Todd continued: "But you will become a complete alien and can no longer integrate into human society."
Evie shrugged indifferently: "You may not understand my life in the village. There was no entertainment, no chatting, just daily exercises and worshiping the gods. For me, there is not much in human society.
significance……"
Hearing Evie's answer, Todd shook his head and said: "The answer may be like this for you, but for others, it will be completely different. Human beings have long regarded society as a necessity. Leaving the human form is equivalent to leaving the human form.
Self-exile in human society…”
Todd's voice became lower and lower, and he thought of himself from these words. When he chose to transform into a dragon body to protect everything in Muxi City, did he have any regrets deep in his heart?
Maybe, but when he thought about it, this answer no longer made sense.
Evie leaned her body against Todd's hind limbs and said softly: "As for the benefits of human beings, there may still be some... For example, when I was with you, I finally found an interesting 'thing', but...
Because you look like this, there is absolutely no possibility..."
Embarrassed, Todd cleared his throat: "I said, I will find a way to solve this problem. Let's not talk about it for now. I want to ask, if I am not in Froststone City, how do emergency matters in the city usually be solved?"
Evie glanced at the black dragon: "The shaman assembly held a meeting, took a vote, and gave the results."
Todd asked: "What if a unified opinion cannot be reached within the assembly, or the matter is very urgent and there is no time for a meeting to decide?"
Evie held her chin and thought for a while: "Speaking of it this way, it seems that there has been a similar situation..."
"How was it resolved in the end?"
"Rune Divination."
Todd asked doubtfully: "Rune divination?"
Evie explained: "In the teachings of the gods, if mortals face a choice of fate, they will usually look for shamans and ask them to use stones with runes for divination. Have you forgotten? Even the gods
King Odin once asked the Three Sisters of Destiny for help regarding the great catastrophe, asking them to use rune divination to send down an oracle."
Todd immediately became interested: "How exactly is rune divination done?"
"Place a pile of stones with rune characters engraved on them in a stone circle, use flames as a catalyst, and observe the changes in the stone characters..."
Todd shook the faucet and said in an incredible tone: "That's it? Just use this method to make a decision?! This is no different from burning a turtle shell or shaking a divination tube!"
Evie raised her head and looked at Todd: "Burn turtle shells? Shake the divination tube? Are these also methods of divination?"
"Don't worry about this for now." Todd stretched his hind limbs forward, wrapped the dragon's tail behind him, and used his forelimbs to hold up the dragon's head and said: "Whether it is Muxi City or Froststone City, once an emergency occurs, it is too slow to use a meeting to make decisions.
But this method of divination is unreliable."
Evie rolled her eyes and said: "Such words should not be said from the mouth of a god..."
Ignoring Evie's sarcasm, Todd thought hard: "It would be best to find a way for the Muxi Cabinet and the Shaman Assembly to proactively contact me... The soul space used for remote meetings can currently only be used.
It’s up to me to open it myself. However, if there is a way to not only open it for myself, but also allow others to enter freely... In this way, if there is any emergency in the two cities, they can actively enter the soul space and contact me.
…”
Thinking of this, Todd suddenly remembered something.
When he established a soul connection with Leviathan, it was not through direct contact, but after touching the head of a manticore, he automatically entered the latter's soul space.
If this method is feasible, does it mean that the soul space cannot be opened by one-way operation, but can be freely accessed by all individuals through some kind of intermediary?
Thinking of this, Todd flapped his dragon wings and flew into the air, and said to Evie on the ground: "I'm going to the Kingdom of Shadows."
Under the strong wind pressure, the latter looked at the dragon slowly rising into the sky, squinted his eyes and shouted: "Remember what you promised me!"
Before he finished speaking, Todd had already entered the clouds and flew quickly towards the north.
It was already late at night when Todd landed at the ruins of the Kingdom of Shadows temple.
Meredith, who was sitting by the fire and drawing sand paintings on the ground, heard the huge flapping sound in the air, stood up and dropped the branches in her hands, waving her arms happily above her head.
Todd slowly landed in the open space of the temple ruins and asked Meredith: "Do you remember my first training opponent on the island, the manticore?"
Meredith was stunned by Todd's sudden question.
After she reacted, she said with some regret: "You came here just for that beast?"
Todd put away the dragon wings and lowered his head to look at Meredith: "There is one thing I want to ask for confirmation. The manticore is needed in the process."
Meredith sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, the colony of manticores is in the cave on the east side of the snow mountain. There is a very huge ancient tree there, which can be clearly seen from the air. Wait for you to do it.
When you're done, remember to come back to me, I also have something to ask you."
Todd nodded, flapped his dragon wings again, and flew towards the snow-capped mountains of the Kingdom of Shadows.
After more than ten minutes of searching, Todd discovered the hidden crypt Meredith mentioned under the ancient tree.
Todd folded his dragon wings and slowly glided to the ground. When the small creatures around him saw the black dragon, they quickly fled away and hid in their respective lairs.
And Todd looked at the dark entrance of the cave and couldn't help but start to worry, how to call the manticore out?
After thinking hard at the door for a few minutes, Todd was surprised when a manticore poked its head out of the hole and looked at the huge black dragon in front of him with tentative and fearful eyes.
With the power of soul's true vision, Todd recognized the other person at a glance as the person he was looking for.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly placed the dragon's claw on the lion's head. In the next second, Todd's consciousness was instantly sucked into darkness.
In the vast expanse of the deep sea, in the darkness where you can't even see your fingers, the huge Leviathan looked at the black dragon that appeared in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "Are you here for the secret of the soul link?"
