Chapter 5: The Dragon of the Candlelight (1st Update, 4000)
The northern border, no one in the wilderness.
The sky was as gloomy as ink, the snow was blowing in the wind, and the cold air was filled with fine snow and dust, covering most of the world like mist.
Blizzards obscure the view, and in this freezing season, even the most adventurous explorers will not go far away, and the low temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius and more than 60 centimeters of snow are enough to make anyone feel untouchable.
But in the middle of the wilderness, in the center of the snow, there were more than a dozen samurai in power armor and heavy machine guns in the wind and snow, guarding several scholars in long robes, and a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes, shrouded in magical fluorescence.
Whether it is a samurai, a scholar, or a middle-aged man who looks like a nobleman, they all have runes flickering on their bodies to protect them from the wind and cold, and the hot breath from their mouths and noses can even condense into smoke.
In front of this group of people, there was a thinly dressed white-haired girl, who was in the center of a luxurious circle in the snow, and she was defenseless except for a white robe that had no effect on the cold.
At this moment, she was closing her eyes and calmly clasping her hands together in the center of the circle full of gold and precious stones, crossing, chanting incantations and performing rituals.
——Forge the foundation with gold to shape the perfect shape.
- With mercury as blood, flow essentia breath.
——Shape bones with gemstones to strengthen the roots of the beginning.
——Cast the heart with cold iron, the source of strong strength.
Finally, the black diamond is lit to burn the cyan branches that surround the center of the circle in a blasphemous rune with the most filthy but purest fire of resentment and curse, which is a recreation of the ancient legend, implying the myth of the dragon that hosts the curse to end the world and burn the sacred tree.
Then, call for the arrival of the dragon that destroys the Divine Tree.
In the wind, the circle lit up.
There was no pigment, as if it was a human figure outlined in black and white, and the thinly dressed girl knew that this was the most critical moment for summoning, so she spoke.
[Descendant of the Ancestral Dragon, embodiment of withering and death, representative of despair, leader of serpents]
[Ending the gods, gnawing the divine tree, changing the era, and destroying all things]
[If you can listen to my words, you will follow the echo of the ancestor dragon]
【Come to the call】
At this moment, it can be seen that in the center of this glowing magic circle, the origin point of creating the core of the entire magic circle, is a bead the size of a human fist, flashing with warm golden light.
Dragon Ball.
In the Holy Kelba Empire, the legend of the Dragon Balls is known to everyone.
The continent created by the Ancestral Dragons is home to many races, but since 800 years ago, it has been the age of the Central Empire, which is dominated by humans, and elves and dwarves have been driven to the southern jungles and underground secret realms.
Only the dragon, as the descendant of the creator god, is worshipped by all races - the dragon and the gods that followed make up countless brilliant and magnificent mythological epics.
But one day in the distant past, the dragon vanished, and those creatures of gigantic size and unparalleled power left this world, leaving only seven dragon balls behind.
Legend has it that if you get seven dragon balls, you can get the gaze of the ancestor dragon and take a wish from the dragon who created the world, and as long as you make a wish, whether it is an unparalleled power, or a wealth that you hold forever, even if you want to conquer the whole world, it is just a gesture.
The existence of the Holy Kelpa Empire is precisely because 800 years ago, the ancestor of the Kerba royal family, the founding emperor of the empire, collected the dragon balls and took the wish to exist.
However, since then, there has been no news of the Dragon Balls being collected, and it is rumored that this is because the Kelpa Empire has been secretly hindering its rule in order not to be overthrown, but even without the Empire, who in this world would give up the possibility of fulfilling a wish? However, the Dragon Ball has indeed disappeared, and some even doubt that it really exists.
However, ten years ago, a man suspected of possessing the Dragon Balls appeared in the Northlands on the northern border, and although he quickly disappeared into the snowy and bitter cold of the northern Köbol Mountains, he attracted the attention of everyone on the entire continent.
As the last remnant of the dragons, the creation of the ancestor dragon, the Dragon Ball has a great deal of power in addition to being a condition for taking a wish.
Using it as a source, you can summon myths and legends, and even powerful dragon souls from other worlds, and condense them into entities with powerful magic - although you can't exert the full power of mythology, it can be regarded as absolutely powerful in the human world, and it is the power of the gods.
In addition, those who hold the Dragon Ball can temporarily obtain part of the power of the dragon they summoned, and when the wish is over, the dragon blood will even remain in the body of the Dragon Ball holder, passing on that power - it is said that the royal family of the Kerba Empire has the powerful power of the dragon's blood of the sun, which can control the terrifying light and heat.
So, if there is a chance, no matter who you are, you will never let go of Dragon Ball.
"What's going on, did the ritual fail?"
At this moment, as the white-haired girl chanted a spell that contained magic and called out legends, the luxurious summoning circle lit up with brilliant brilliance - but when the light dissipated, no dragon soul appeared.
This scene immediately made the middle-aged nobleman in a gorgeous robe and cloak in front of the circle frown, and he looked at the scholar beside him with questioning eyes: "I need an explanation. ”
"Honorable lord, we are only copying the formations and incantations in the ancient books, theoretically speaking, it is flawless......"
Several scholars whispered to each other, but the result was also helpless: "We copy the records of the texts collected by the Maia family - and you refuse to preside over the summoning yourself, so naturally you can't get the knowledge of the Dragon Balls, and we can't do anything about it." ”
"Waste ......"
The lord of the Maia family cursed in his heart, of course he knew that what the scholars said was right, he could not personally preside over the summoning ceremony, naturally he could not know the knowledge passed down in the Dragon Ball, the magic circle was wrong, and he should not blame the scholars who perfectly reproduced it according to the records in the classics.
But I spent a lot of money to hire them in order to solve the problem!
With frowning brows, the gray-haired Maia Lord turned his head and looked at the girl in white who was still in the circle, reciting the summoning spell repeatedly: "Do you really want me to go up in person?" ”
The Dragon Ball held by the Maia family is naturally not the one that appeared in the Northland more than ten years ago, but the support he received from some unspeakable channel.
And his ambition is naturally to try to collect all the Dragon Balls, emulate the Kelba royal family eight hundred years ago, and make a wish to conquer the continent, replace the current empire, and make his family the new royal family, and himself the new emperor.
Some time ago, the Dragon Balls have reacted, which proves that now all the Dragon Balls have gathered in the Northland, the tide of fate has been set off, and the opportunity to collect all the Dragon Balls is today, which is a great opportunity that has not been once in 800 years.
However, Maia was still a little hesitant - those nobles and forces who had obtained the Dragon Balls in the past were finally eradicated and defeated by the royal family, and if she failed, then the destruction of the family was undoubtedly inevitable.
Therefore, he entrusted the Alchemist Association to create an artificial person with a lifespan of only one month, and let her summon the dragon as his stand-in.
At this moment, the android girl, still repeating the order she was given, she mobilized her magic power, echoing the power of the Dragon Ball, and summoning the existence of the distant side.
"Is there something wrong with this android?"
Lord Maia's voice sounded again, and the scholars were helpless: "No, Lord Lord, we have deliberately increased the amount of dragon blood in this body, and even used the buds of the Tree of Life as the core of life, if the magic circle is correct, we can summon that legendary demon dragon." ”
When the white-haired girl opened her eyes, she could see that in her blood-red eyes were vertical pupils like dragons and snakes, and behind her ears, there were also fine scales.
It's the fourth time she's chanting the incantation, and she's not discouraged in any way - the repeater can go out of its way to repeat the same job a thousand times, and so does she.
But, suddenly.
With a burst of silver flashes, a blue-purple aura fell from the sky.
Then, there is a brilliant burst of light.
The dragon ball lit up with a striking light, and Su Sun appeared directly above the summoning circle.
"What's going on, Yara!"
Su Sun, who had finally re-teleported into the world, was full of inexplicability at this time, he raised his hand and said to the little snake wrapped around him in confusion: "I won't talk about the 99% deviation value, the barrier of your world is really too thick, right?" The Celestial Scale took me headlong and almost didn't go in—if it weren't for the power that seemed to echo me......"
Speaking of this, Su Tian, who didn't have time to think much because of the tense situation before, couldn't help but get stuck: "Wait, why does this world have the power to call me?" ”
In this regard, the red little snake was also quite unhappy: "What does it have to do with me, it's the god scale that has a problem - of course, the most essential reason should be the pioneer, the first thing that guy did after waking up was to fight against the Great Seal, so that it affected part of the void structure...... In the future, if you want to travel to the new world, you will probably have to suffer like this. ”
"Tsk, then it looks like I can only get stronger quickly......"
Su Day's face was ugly, but what was even more ugly was everyone around him—except for the white-haired girl who stayed where she was motionless after completing the task.
"Who is this guy? Why did the circle that called the dragon summon a human?! ”
In the wilderness, the cold wind was bleak, the snow was falling, and Su Tian turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound started.
It was a middle-aged, gray-haired man in a frustrated manner, several scholars with expressions of helplessness, and a samurai in power armor and armed with a heavy machine gun.
A young man with long messy black hair in front of him, an indifferent expression, and blue and purple eyes, although his appearance is perfect, but Maia doesn't want a face, he wants a powerful dragon with sharp claws!
"What does this person mean?"
I don't know why, it's obviously a language from another world, but Su Sun can understand it directly, and there is an inexplicable force that is blessing him with the blessing of language, so that he can understand all the languages in this world.
"They were summoning dragons before? Oh yes, I did hear the summons. ”
Recalling the summoning words he had heard when he entered the world earlier, he suddenly realized: "The heir of the ancestral dragon, the embodiment of withering and death, the representative of despair, the leader of the serpents, the demon dragon that terminates the gods, gnaws the sacred tree, replaces the era, and destroys all things...... Well, although there are some subtle differences, I surprisingly agreed! ”
The dragon of the Ancestors, speaking of Yara, has his own direct blood. The Demon Devourer Lord is indeed the ability to kill people to harvest, and it is a representative of the desperation of the wicked, as for the leader of the snakes, it is estimated that he refers to the group of sea beast fans in the sea?
As for who they originally wanted to summon, Su Ri guessed that they wanted to summon Nidhogg, the desperate dragon in Norman mythology who devoured the Tree of the World and guided Ragnarok.
However, because of various coincidences and the correspondence of elements, he became Su Day, who also killed gods and cut down trees.
"Wait."
And just when Lord Maia's anger was accumulating, suddenly, a scholar seemed to think of something, he took out the electronic board of the rune crystal screen from his arms, and then slid on the screen to retrieve the information: "I found it—yes, in addition to the demon dragon Nidho, in the ancient legends of another world, there is also a dragon who has killed the gods and defeated the gods!" ”
He then shared it with others.
- The emperor of the human world, in pursuit of immortality, moved the sacred tree from the sacred mountain in the South China Sea without authorization, causing the mountain god to be angry and cursed, he inflicted sin on the emperor's heirs, and turned all the people in their capital into immortal monsters, invading the human world.
The classical myth of being convicted in the heavens, naturally, there is also the birth of the immortal hero who should be in harmony with the mandate of heaven - the divine dragon sleeping in the sacred mountain in the northwest was born to help, and assisted the hero of the mandate of heaven to kill the immortal demon emperor.
Legend has it that it has a sword in its tail that is enough to kill all immortals, and its mouth can spew out thunder and flames that are enough to burn the sacred tree, and it uses light and fire as its wings, and is a dragon that symbolizes day and fire.
In addition, there are other myths and legends, there is a similar image, praised as the 'immortal' dragon, which assisted the human king, and together ruled the great flood that swept the world and almost overturned the world, slew the evil water god, and opened a new era with the human king and the gods.
"If it's really the dragon......"
Whispering to Lord Maia, the mage's tone was soothing: "Then this result is not bad - the demon dragon Nidhogg is certainly the demon dragon that destroys the world, but it has not fought many times in legends, and its combat effectiveness and experience are very doubtful...... But 'candle day' is different! This one has gone through a hundred battles in legends, and he has fought all the way! ”
