Chapter 60: History that cannot be changed (three thousand-word chapter)
After Lao Wang arrived, Ender's dragon nest finally gained some popularity. At least some people were willing to come and sweep away the fallen dragon scales.
For Ender, the most important thing now is the contents of the box in front of him.
It was a dragon cocoon that was found in a ruins in southwest China. It was taken out and sent to the United States together with the international students who came to the United States.
Whether it is the conjecture that Ender put forward before, or whether it is to further obtain power, it is necessary to study the dragon clan.
Ender knew that in his situation, he couldn't rely on those hybrids who were obsessed with killing dragons. The only thing he could rely on was the dragonborn who had acquired his own bloodline.
During these years in China, Ander did not deliberately transform the Dragonborn. After all, the transformation ritual consumed his own blood. After discovering that the transformation of Dragonborn was harmful to ordinary people in this world, Ander only transformed a few people who had crossed the border.
A Chinese hybrid with a blood boundary.
The brass dragon blood from Ander and the dragon blood in the hybrids have reached a wonderful balance, which prevents them from becoming dragons too seriously. At the same time, they have a longer lifespan and stronger abilities than ordinary hybrids.
.
Ender calls them dragonborn hybrids, or more simply, new hybrids.
But this does not mean that they are safe. When using techniques like violent blood, the two bloodlines in these new hybrids may become unbalanced, and eventually turn into a puddle of flesh in the conflict between the two bloodlines.
Angers should be lucky. If Ender hadn't given him a lot of dragon blood when transforming him, he might have died of violent blood by now.
And now, even if Ender transforms into a Dragonborn with great restraint, those new mixed-races will get married and have children, and their children will have grandchildren, and their grandchildren will have children. This has led to the emergence of many hybrids with Ander's blood among the Chinese mixed-races.
Among the mixed-races who came to study abroad, the proportion of new mixed-races was not small, accounting for more than half.
These people will become the main force in future research, combining alchemy and magic.
Life passed quickly during Ender's fishing days. Chu Jie, who was once illiterate, learned English, got a doctorate from Harvard, and became the feared dean of Cassel College. Later, it was changed to
Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee.
Lu Youde studied at Kassel Academy for a period of time, and his adventurous spirit allowed him to become a lone wolf after returning to China, wandering around China collecting dangerous alchemical artifacts.
Some young people who had appeared in the story began to appear, such as Manstein, who was not yet bald.
A pot-bellied alchemist master was abducted by Angers to Kassel Academy. After signing a series of contracts, the alchemist master became the vice-principal of Kassel and studied the magic circle brought by Ender with the dragonborn.
And Ender has lived a life of salty fish since the establishment of Kassel College, or in other words, a life that most dragons dream of.
Every day I wake up from a bed paved with gold, play with gems and eat a roasted lamb that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, wander around the campus, chat with people, take a sand bath in the afternoon, and occasionally go out to work.
His war hammer smashed the heads of several hybrids.
For Ander, the biggest thing during this period was probably that Angers and the others created an intelligent assistant named Norma. Although it was still stupid now, Ander believed that sooner or later he would be able to chat with him.
Finally, Ander's life as a salty fish was broken in September 1970. A new hybrid from China came to Dragon's Nest and reported the good news to Ander that the research on the new magic circle was successful.
During the years when Ender was a salt fish, the new hybrids in Cassel Academy never gave up their research on the magic circle given to Ender by Bahamut. After several disputes with Ender, finally this
The magic circle is named: "Sacrifice Magic Circle".
Ender looked at the magic circle in front of him. It roughly retained the structure of the first version of the magic circle, but added a lot of alchemy content in this world to the corners.
"The binding function has been added, which can accurately separate the three natures of the dragon and reduce the energy loss..."
On the side, a white man wearing a cowboy hat was introducing his favorite work. It was Nicholas Flamel, the vice-principal of Kassel and the night watchman.
This guy once went to China to form the Flying Tigers, and saw the original version of the sacrificial circle by chance. Angers also used the magic circle as a temptation to let him join Kassel Academy.
Ender transformed into a human and stood beside the magic circle. There was a metal ball there, with a metal rod connected to the lower part, which was responsible for inputting magic power.
"Mr. Ender, let's see."
The vice-principal pressed his hat and looked at Ender and the cocoon in the center of the magic circle. Even if he modified the magic circle, the sacrifice magic circle still required magic power to activate.
In the gleaming electric sparks, the cocoon placed in the middle of the magic circle cracked open, and a slimy human body curled up and rolled out.
He was bound in the magic circle, and his speech spirit was also suppressed. He could only tremble and bleed out black blood while waiting for his death.
Nicholas next to him was trembling slightly. His word spirit was a commandment that could suppress other word spirits. In this experiment, he was responsible for suppressing the dragon's word spirit.
After a long time, in the black smoke, a pool of black mud, a white flesh ball and a red gem appeared on the magic circle.
"It really happened..."
Nicholas stared blankly at the three substances with different shapes in the magic circle. In Ender's theory, these three substances represent the dragon's divinity, human nature and animal nature, and are called the three natures.
Several people wearing protective clothing stepped forward and sorted the materials in the array into categories.
Ender walked over to Nicholas holding the red gem and patted him on the shoulder.
"Congratulations, we successfully killed a first-time breeder."
"I just made some minor changes."
Nicholas stared at the gem in Ender's hand with envy. He tried to swallow the refined stone, but found that he could not digest it. The next day it appeared in the toilet.
"You should think about how to deal with the school board."
Nicholas slapped Ender's hand away. If those gentlemen knew that a second-generation cocoon had been decomposed like this, they would probably go crazy.
"It's okay. This was bought from China twenty years ago and has never been in the school's inventory."
Ander shrugged. After the cocoon was transported, he put it in his treasure house. Now that Lu Youde's son was born, Ander took it out.
In the past twenty years, the hybrid from Kassel College has been improving the magic circle to ensure that he can successfully decompose this second-generation species without making the same mistakes as in the Dragon Vein.
Now, Ender finally got what he wanted, the authority to be the heir to the Prince of Bronze and Fire.
The brass dragon is more friendly to the fire attribute. Because of this, Ander fell asleep after devouring the authority of Garuda, the Prince of Wind, because Garuda's authority was not suitable for him.
So, now that Ender finally has the authority that suits him, the devouring can begin.
Returning to the dragon's lair and asking Lao Wang to watch the door, Ender transformed back into his original shape and swallowed a gem the size of an adult's fist in one gulp.
The red gem melted in his body, and Ender closed his eyes, but this time, the scene that appeared in front of him was completely different.
It was a world of ice and snow, with thick snow covering Ender's paws, and a column standing beside the distant black mountains.
The wind howled, bringing snowflakes and hitting Ander's golden scales hard.
"interesting……"
A similar thing happened the last time he devoured Garuda's authority. Ender also saw some visions, but they were far less clear than this time.
Ender flapped his wings and flew towards the column that reached the sky and the earth. The closer he got, the more he realized how huge the column was. The column with dozens of people hugging it was made of bronze and had been covered with green over the endless years.
of rust.
After carefully observing the patterns on the bronze pillars, Ander discovered that the patterns were actually individual characters arranged together in a special form, forming a calligraphy-like pattern.
"The history of the dragon clan is engraved on the bronze pillars. History is written from bottom to top, from the past to the future. The pillars are the axis of time..."
A childish voice came from behind Ander, like a child talking in Ender's ear.
"The history written above the pillars has not yet happened. This part is the book of prophecy."
Ender's body was lifted rapidly by the air below, until he reached the top of the bronze pillar.
"Everything has been determined for a long time. Who will die and who will live? When will the king return? When will the two ministers die? The history of the Dragon Clan remains unchanged."
At the top of the bronze pillar, a boy sat at a European-style dining table, quietly enjoying a rich variety of afternoon tea.
His short short legs were dangling, and his golden vertical pupils looked at the brass-colored dragon in front of him with interest.
"But you're not, you shouldn't be here."
The boy put down the tea cup in his hand and acted like a young adult.
"A dragon does not belong to the Black King, nor does it belong to the White King, nor is it a descendant of those gods. You suddenly appeared in this world and messed up my script."
Ender moved his wings and looked at the little doll in front of him. He was wearing a well-fitting children's suit and looked like the heir of one of those ancient nobles.
"so what?"
Ender landed on the top of the bronze pillar, climbed down in a comfortable position, and stretched his limbs.
"Has anyone ever said you look like a cat?"
The boy looked at Ender as if he were an orange cat stretching.
"Maybe, but let's talk about history."
Ender stared at the boy in front of him. He was so weak, but his inner strength made Ender a little scared.
"Do you know how much effort it took me to make the explosion of Dragon Veins consistent with history?"
The boy put his hands on his knees and asked in a condescending tone.
"And Friedrich, he should live until the twenty-first century instead of turning into a monster and dying in the dragon's veins."
Ender raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this boy was the culprit who allowed his group to travel through time.
For such a small body to be able to control time, he must be the incarnation of a certain god in this world.
"so what?"
The boy's expression softened, and there was a hint of pleading in his tone.
"Mr. Ander, my brother is about to wake up. Can you please not disturb him?"
