Chapter Eighty-Three: The Principle of Dragon Sleep
…… Fearless bones.
Annan fell into deep thought.
It must be because he helped them purify the Spore Mill that they have increased their "favorability" to the point where they can know and participate in this matter.
If it was just an ordinary passer-by, Nefertari would definitely not talk about it.
If Annan doesn't keep her promise and instead publicizes it, she will definitely get into trouble. Even her brother will be targeted, and her teacher's reputation as a "healer" will be damaged.
It is because the players fully display their glorious image of the old savior in front of her and Niusel...... Only before Annan appeared, he could have a fairly high basic favor.
And Annan neatly solved the nightmare of the spore mill, proving his ability; His act of justifying Dward's name also demonstrated his sense of morality.
- The combination of these events became the opportunity for Annan to be gifted with holy bones.
…… It's like completing an epic task inexplicably, and when the reward was issued, it was just like sending the task to Annan.
If it weren't for Annan's quick reaction, he wouldn't have realized what he had done to be gifted with a holy skeleton as soon as they met.
The Holy Skeleton is undoubtedly the world's top incantation. It is a treasure second only to the Book of Truth.
Of course, this is for the average person.
Annan himself has the fragments of the Book of Truth on his body, and he is also looking for the Heart of Justice.
He really didn't have that much desire for the Dreadnought......
He wasn't even sure if he would be recognized by the Dreadnought.
- Maybe you have to let the healer beg for yourself, so that you can reluctantly accept it.
Annan wanted to ...... Wouldn't it be too cruel to reply directly to Nefertari like that?
Because he is real, he has no idea about the Dreadnought.
[Perseverance] or [Patience] may be more suitable for Annan.
Annan argues...... True courage should not be the absence of fear, but the ability to face fear and despair after knowing it clearly.
Just like the inheritors of the previous generation. knew that if he retreated, he would be able to live, and if he didn't retreat, he would die, but he still faced the fate of death.
Annan didn't feel fear at all.
How can this talk about courage?
He pondered for a moment, then replied in a more tactful manner, "If I can be sure that the 'use of two holy bones at the same time' method you mentioned is fine, some tests can be carried out as well.
"But if I could, I'd definitely prioritize finding the heart of justice."
"As long as you're willing to assist in testing!"
Nefertari hurriedly said, "If we don't have enough evidence to convince you to believe us...... You can also not inherit this holy bone! ”
“…… Well, that's fine. ”
Annan coughed lightly.
It's pathetic.
He couldn't stand it anymore.
If it weren't for the cover of the Heart of Winter that made Annan feel guilty, I'm afraid he would have spoken up by now.
…… I can't send out the equipment in a hurry, and it's too humbling.
Annan hurriedly changed the topic: "I remember, there is still a way to seal the holy bones. For example, 'Dragon Sleeping Elixir' will do. ”
"Of course we know this, and the formula of the Dragon Sleep Elixir is not particularly secretive knowledge."
Nefertari said this and sighed, "But dragon blood is too expensive.
"As we all know, dragons are two-phased: the more chaotic the society, the more lustful the dragon becomes; And the more peaceful it is, the more sleepy and gentle the dragon becomes. Now that it has been peaceful for a long time, the tempers of the dragons have gradually become gentle, and the greed and thirst for treasures have gradually faded.
"Now the dragon is almost impossible to find. Where are they all sleeping...... Even if you want to exchange treasures for dragon blood, it is difficult to tempt them to sell. ”
In other words, as the world became peaceful, dragons gradually became Buddha-like.
Is it two-phased......
Annan was thoughtful.
Although he didn't know what this term meant, he probably knew why Grandmother and Father Sui, who were both dragons, were the gods of fire and creation, and the gods of ice and tradition.
This may also be the reason why there is no third dragon in the Shojin.
But this is the first time Annan has heard such a statement.
Paper Hime obviously doesn't have this strange dragon habit...... Oh yes, she's a paper dragon.
If you don't pull a piece of paper and dragon, how can you have this instinct.
Annan's heart moved.
Is this the reason why the old grandmother chose "Dragon Sleep" as the holy deed?
If the dragons would fall asleep every time the world was at peace, and wake up naturally when they were about to fall into chaos......
“…… I see. ”
Annan whispered.
So, the old grandmother never abandoned her people!
He is not a willful god - the dragon sleep happens to be the embodiment of his fatherly love.
It's not that the old grandmother wakes up at a critical moment every time, or that the Winter people are in danger and wakes up the old grandmother...... It's because when it's time for it, He wakes up naturally!
- Putting pressure on the people in times of peace and sheltering them in times of war.
It's like an awkward old father who reprimands people with a straight face and pours cold water when he achieves achievements, but when he is bullied, he is the first to stand up and beat the bully to the head and bleed.
Although He never said the rules of this behavior, nor did He explain it to anyone.
But when the old grandmother is needed, He will wake up.
"Therefore, when we can't get the dragon's blood, we can only seal the holy relic in another way."
Nefertari explained: "Even if the Holy Skeleton can tempt the qualified to come in its direction, it does not indicate the exact location of the qualified person. Because finding oneself is also part of the trial.
"In other words—as long as the bones are placed in the labyrinth, they can effectively 'seal' it. At least it will prevent the weak mortals from taking it away and causing disaster.
"And the underground world is a natural labyrinth. It even has a height difference. Unless it is the Sage who has strayed from his own path and has been abandoned by the Holy Bones...... As long as they have a breath, they will find a way to go underground and create a labyrinth to hide the holy bones. ”
…… I see.
Annan was stunned.
As far as he knew, except for the tower master and the Pope...... Most of the other gold-level transcendents live scattered in the underground world.
Previously Annan did not know what the reason was. He argues that they may not want to submit to the authority of the world, or they may want to evade their responsibilities, or they simply want to be quiet......
Now it seems that they are probably all looking for holy bones in the underground world.
But there is no limit to the number of layers in the underground world, and the terrain is more complex than the Chengdu overpass. A natural labyrinth indeed...... Mortals get lost as soon as they come in.
…… So, that traitor from Vladimir will come underground?
Is it not because he's fleeing, but because he thinks he's fit with a certain bone—that's why he's crouching in the ground for years?
Case......
"I'll go."
Annan's expression became slightly serious: "Please tell me the relevant details." ”
Even if it was to prevent him from succeeding or causing him trouble, Annan had to test his qualifications.
Because Annan had just suddenly realized something.
If the old grandmother would have slept all the time in peacetime......
…… Why is the current grandmother about to wake up?
