After an unknown amount of time, Lisa finally arrived in the middle of the Chronos Mountains, near the largest gathering place of dragonmen, Iron Mountain City.

This ancient city built in the valley somehow got its name, but now it has been made into a barrel-like defense line by the vigilant dragons, and it can be seen that all the places around Iron Mountain City that are easy to defend are now built with various simple fortress turrets, and small armies of thousands of witchers patrol these defenses at any time to guard against the demons and dragons that may arrive.

On the fourth day after the disaster began, many dragonmen flocked to the city from all directions, most of them women and children, and they were arranged to enter the center of the city, a huge hole leading to the ground, in which tens of thousands of dragonmen had taken refuge, and the entire city was basically inhabited by no one except for witchers and organized adult males.

When Lisa saw the valley depicted by her father in front of her, she suddenly realized that she had arrived at her destination, and she subconsciously clenched the certificate in her hand to enter the shelter, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little red.

But now was not the time to grieve, and reinvigorated, Lisa took another step and ran toward the entrance of the valley.

But to her surprise, there was a checkpoint at the entrance to the valley, and a long line had been lined up for several times, some of whom were allowed to enter, while others were denied and sent to a makeshift gathering point on the outside of the valley.

"The vault is almost full, and the credentials are useless."

At this time, a demon hunter who was patrolling nearby passed by, and he noticed that a girl of the same clan was looking at the team of thousands of people in a daze, so he kindly stopped and explained: "Although the elders of Iron Mountain City have been digging shelters and stockpiling food for so many years, there is a limit to this, for the survival of our dragonmen, we can only let better people go first. ”

"What's better?"

Lisa asked subconsciously.

"Of course, it's the witcher, and then it's the young dragonmen who can awaken, and the young children who haven't reached the age of awakening. The family of the witcher is also a priority. ”

The black leather armor-clad witcher looked at Lisa and nodded with a smile, "Aren't you awakened?" The power of the bloodline is very strong, and you are still a child, you will definitely be able to enter. ”

“…… But those who can't get in ......"

“…… There is always a sacrifice of some people, and at this time, there is no way to pay attention to feelings. ”

The patrolling witcher sighed, he half-crouched down, patted Lisa on the shoulder, and urged, "Let's go, little girl, those big monsters may come at any time, it's dangerous here." ”

With that, he turned around and continued his mission, and the dragon girl joined the group after a moment of silence.

The line was long and growing, almost all of them were silent, except for the occasional child's cry. There were men and women in the procession, both middle-aged and middle-aged in the prime of life, and children in their mother's arms, but the only one who did not have was the elderly. Lisa saw that many of the old men did not join the group, but voluntarily walked to the gathering place outside the valley.

"At the moment of life and death, you can still be so calm, and there are no troublemakers in the team, the nature of your dragon race is really orderly."

In the girl's mind, the evaluation of the fire demon came, and the syndicate said in a rather emotional tone: "Although it is still very primitive, if I give you time, I should be able to grow into a thriving civilization...... It's a pity that this level is very difficult to pass. ”

Speaking of this, the syndicate couldn't help but shake his head, the celestial anomalies above the Chronos Mountains have been relatively rare recently, but this does not mean that the battle between the legendary powerhouses has stopped - in fact, the battle between them has become more intense and it is impossible to keep their hands, just to prevent the aftermath from causing destruction, so everyone is away from the world of Chronos.

- Whether it is a demon or a five-colored dragon that occupies this world, the dragonman will no longer have a chance to develop, and the civilization represented by the golden flying machine may not be a good person, but the adult, the one who is willing to forgive even me, the demon, won this war, and the dragon has a glimmer of future at all.

In fact, there is another possibility, that is, the victory of the dragon gods of the dragons, expelling all the invaders from the outside world - but the Syndicate is not optimistic about this, after all, if the situation is really bad, the demon and the five-colored dragon are likely to join forces again.

While Lisa was still silent and the Syndicate was thinking about the situation in the sky, the long line turned rapidly, and in a short time, it was already the turn of the dragon girl.

"Child, put your hand on the crystal plate."

In the middle of the level, an old draconian, protected by two heavily armed witchers, with white horns on both sides of his head, but with visible arcs of electricity surging up and down his body, softly called Lisa, waking her up from her contemplation. Seeing the white crystal plate that had been placed in front of her eyes, Lisa hurriedly stretched out her hand and pressed it on it.

A warm touch that was not like crystal appeared in the girl's palm, and before she could react, the old dragon man said, "Use all your strength to infuse the power of the bloodline into this stone slab." ”

"Full force?"

Because she was in a daze before, Lisa didn't think too much at this time, she subconsciously used her real full strength before the fire demon reminded her - suddenly, the surrounding air crackled, accompanied by the blue arc beating, a fine and regular power grid appeared on the dragon girl's body, due to the start of the current push, this power grid condensed into a thick thunder pillar in accordance with Lisa's will, and submerged into her hand pressed on the crystal plate!

Bang! With a loud bang, the cyan blue light exploded, and this crystal plate, which was originally colorless, used to test the strength of the bloodline in the dragonman's body, went through the changes of 'blue', 'blue', 'red', 'purple' and 'black' in an instant, and then in the shocked gaze of the person behind Lisa, under the stunned gaze of the old dragonman, it was blasted into pieces by the rioting electricity in an instant!

"Ah...... I'm sorry about this! ”

After Lisa reacted, she immediately understood that she was in trouble - the bloodline power in her body may not be much more than that of ordinary witchers, but because of the optimization bonus of the electric current push, she can use a force to more than a dozen or dozens of ordinary people's strength. It is precisely because of this that the test crystal plate can be destroyed in an instant.

“…… Terrible. ”

After all, the old dragon man is well-informed, he is a veteran witcher who has been hunted thousands of times and still survives to old age, and he certainly knows what kind of current strength is needed to destroy the extremely endurable test slate...... It wouldn't be so strange if this level of bloodline power appeared in a genius demon hunter, but what appeared in front of him was a little girl in her early tens!

"It's so strong!"

"The captain of the demon hunting team in the village doesn't seem to be so powerful......"

"At such a young age, the future is limitless."

The dragons in the team behind Lisa also began to talk, this powerful power is really eye-catching, and with the fact that the wielder is so young, it is indeed very attractive. And at this moment, a rather loud voice sounded: "Hey, isn't this Shenmu Village, the daughter of the Black family, the pure-blooded who is rare to see in a hundred years!" ”

This suddenly made many people who were puzzled suddenly realize.

"It's a pureblood...... No wonder. ”

"It wouldn't be strange if it was a pureblood, but it is rare for someone to have this kind of power at such a young age, even if it is a pureblood."

This sentence also woke up the old dragonman who was still puzzled, and he looked at Lisa, who was a little at a loss in the discussion of everyone, and then said in a gentle voice: "Go in, child, you can enter the shelter." ”

Then, he nodded and asked one of the witchers who was protecting him to take Lisa to the shelter, while he himself remained where he was, waiting for a new test crystal plate

Lisa was taken into the underground shelter by a witcher in a daze, and not far away, in a camp close to the test level, a middle-aged dragonman who had been paying attention to the test situation frowned, turned to the others behind him and said, "Did you see that?" That little girl's power? ”

"See." "Very strong, very pure." "It's so well controlled, even I'm ashamed of myself." "Stronger than the previous purebloods."

Sitting in the camp were some middle-aged or elderly dragonmen, and their bodies all had obvious electric power flowing through them, which was enough to prove that they were all powerful witchers.

"It's a little weird, though...... Although this little girl is very much like a pureblood, it stands to reason that she can't awaken at this age. ”

After a short sigh of emotion, one of the demon hunters said with some doubts: "The earthquake three hundred years ago made us lose the most important pure-blood awakening method, even if we improve it in the future, and even make people with impure blood like us become able to awaken, but there is still no way to take the initiative to awaken the pure-bloods." ”

"Yes, most purebloods are about to reach adulthood, and occasionally have a part of self-awakening, but even if it's just this part, it's very strong...... That little girl has awakened so much bloodline power at such a young age, I think that with her talent, there may be a 100% chance of awakening. ”

The other elder nodded, as senior members of the Iron Mountain City Demon Hunting Team and City Elders, the reason why they had been waiting here was to wait for an awakened pure-blood like Lisa to appear.

"The prophecy says that when the dragon god awakens from his eternal sleep, the fire of the end will return......"

The middle-aged dragonman who was observing at the beginning paused for a moment, and he muttered: "Now, it should be the so-called Doomsday Calamity, countless strange monsters have appeared out of thin air, the sky has changed, and most of the dragonman villages outside Iron Mountain City have been destroyed, which is enough to prove that the prophecy is true. ”

"Well, the next sentence ......"

At this point, he was silent, and none of the elders and witchers in the camp spoke, for they already knew what the words were.

- Pure blood alone.

Only the holder of the purest bloodline can save the dragon man from this heavenly disaster.

"This is the only pure-blood we've found, and we must meet this little girl."

On the other side, Lisa is taken into an underground vault by the witcher guards.

The entrance to the shelter is a bit like a mine, the huge hole is directly open on the mountain wall, after entering it, you can see a wide avenue more than twenty meters wide, there are fluorescent moss on both sides of the road, providing a light source, this road is slanted downward, it seems that there is no end in sight, one after another new dragonmen are guided by several witchers, deep into it.

After following the road for dozens of meters, you can see two forks on both sides, leading into the distance. A voice came from the fork in the road, and seeing Lisa's puzzled expression, the witcher, who had a huge scar on his throat and spoke a little hoarsely, explained, "Here are the two shelters on the first level, continue down, and there is a second level...... There are a total of five layers of shelters, and the reserve of food can allow about 20,000 people to evacuate for about half a month. ”

Although it sounds inconspicuous, it is already an unimaginably huge project for the dragons who are still in the era of primitive city-state villages, and Lisa can't help but feel very shocked, she subconsciously muttered to herself: "There are more than 400 people in the village, 20,000 people, which is 50 villages......"

"It's only fifty...... In the entire mountain range, there are nearly a thousand dragon villages. ”

The witcher who led the way shook his head and said no more, and Lisa moved forward in silence. The two of them walked for a long time, and during this time, they even turned into a fork in the road, and in the dim light of the fluorescent moss, she didn't know what secret passage she had been led into, and gradually, even Lisa felt that something was wrong: judging by the previous speed, she should now be deeper than the fifth layer of the vault.

Where is this? What is this dragonman leading the way doing?

However, before Lisa, who was already a little guarded, could speak, the witcher who led the way spoke in advance and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you. It's just that the elders want to see you, and they need a quiet and safe place. ”

As he spoke, the two of them took a flame demon and came to a huge rock portal, and the young demon hunter stepped forward and pressed his hand on the rock gate with a flickering arc, and when he landed, lines like circuit boards appeared. After doing this, he turned his head to look at Lisa and sighed, "Don't be so wary...... At such a time, the dragon man will not be bad for his compatriots......" Speaking of this, he looked at the girl's height and chest, and shook his head again: "Don't think so much...... You stay here, and the elders will come to see you later. ”

With that, he turned around, leaving Lisa, a little embarrassed, to stay in front of the rock portal that was gradually opening, and disappeared into the glow of fluorescent moss.

"What...... I'm going to grow taller and bigger! Just like Mom! ”

Lisa's face was slightly red, and she grumbled rather indignantly, while the fire demon remained silent.

Lisa is still a child after all, even if she was taken into the secret passage deep underground for no reason, she didn't feel anything wrong, she just simply obeyed the instructions, and the fire demon didn't make a sound to stop it, it already knew that when Lisa exposed her too strong power, she would definitely be noticed by the dragonmen's higher-ups.

INTERVIEWER Perhaps, a special evacuation room dedicated to the protection of people who are particularly valuable?

The syndicate felt that this guess was very likely, after all, this was already deeper than the fifth floor of the refuge, at least hundreds of meters underground, how could the dragons make such an unbelievable project, with this depth, as long as they were prepared for the earthquake, then as long as the legendary powerhouse did not directly break out a decisive battle above the head of the refuge, then this place must be safe.

At least safer than anywhere on the surface.

The rock gate had been completely opened under the stimulation of the blood power of the previous demon hunter, and the fire demon urged Lisa to hurry in, and the dragon girl was also a little curious about what was inside, so she simply entered it neatly.

However, as Lisa passed through the portal, she noticed that the rock gate did not appear to be entirely made of stone...... In the corner of the gate, somewhere it seemed to be bumping into a lot, a layer of rock had been worn away, and a silvery layer of unknown material could be faintly seen beneath the outer layer of stone.

A bit like steel? But Lisa didn't think much about why it was wrapped in a layer of rocks, and just entered the gate, and what she saw next made that trace of doubt completely fade.

"It's a mural! I've seen the Great Elder love to draw this thing in his room before! ”

What appeared in front of Lisa's eyes was a long underground corridor, and on both sides of this spacious corridor that was more than ten meters wide, there were countless clear murals - for some reason, although there was no obvious light source in the entire corridor, it was unexpectedly bright, as if the entire corridor itself was glowing.

Curious, Lisa found the original part of the mural and began to look at it from the beginning, but to the girl's disappointment, the mural did not have any dragon-related motifs, and it depicted the life of another creature similar to the dragon-man, but very different.

In the beginning, it was the scene of this strange creature living in the water, a race with a fishtail, no horns and legs, but other than that it was exactly the same as the dragonmen. They were pure aquatic beings, living by growing aquatic weeds, raising shellfish in captivity and grazing fish, and they gradually developed civilization in the water, using some kind of peculiar sound waves to converse, and under the guidance of an unknown sage, they even created writing.

"It's strange where there's so much water...... The largest lake in the mountains isn't that big. ”

Lisa muttered to herself, and she continued to look at the second mural, which the fire demon didn't care about at first, but then, it got serious, and looked at the intricate murals by sharing it with the girl's vision.

After creating the language, the fishtail race progressed very quickly, and they quickly sensed the energy that was free from the water, and comprehended the most basic magic. With spells that control the flow of water and the gravel of the seabed, these merfolk have built villages and cities in the gentle depths of the sea, and they have even learned how to make tools using crystals and metal. With the heat of the submarine volcano and the vent, they learned to forge and refine for the first time, which immediately accelerated the development of the race again.

They melt the gravel and extract the elements from it to create a translucent material that appears to resemble the crystal plates that were previously used to test the bloodline of the dragonmen. By inscribed runes on this translucent, or even completely transparent, material called glass, the merfolk developed faster and faster in magical technology, and because of the progress of materials, huge cities under the sea appeared first, and along with the merger between the forces, states were formed. The powerful magical power even allowed the mermaids to tame the giant beasts of the sea, completely turning themselves into a species without natural predators. Eventually, for the first time, these beloved merfolk of the deep sea rose from their deep-sea home to the surface of the sea.

They saw the sky, the land, the forests, the sands, the birds flying in the sky, the beasts walking on the land...... They saw a whole new world. With the help of magic, the merfolk transformed themselves into a position that could move on land, a gesture that Lisa couldn't help but let out a low sigh - for it was almost identical to a dragonman except for its tail and horns!

But the girl didn't have time to sigh, she couldn't wait to continue to look at the next mural: after the mermaid reached the ground, she noticed that the metal on the land decayed very slowly, and there were even many strange mineral veins on the surface that could not be found on the bottom of the sea, so the whole mermaid civilization was divided into two parts, a colony on the land and a huge city in the sea. But as time went on, civilization became more and more advanced, and most of the mermaid population came to the surface, but they still retained their love for the sea because it was their homeland.

Lisa just watched a hilarious, but the more the syndicate looked at it, the more frightened she became-the dragon girl actually couldn't understand the details in the mural at all, but it, the big demon, could, it could clearly see that the mermaid civilization had already relied on the developed magic energy to create a floating city that could be freely suspended in the sky with the help of developed magic energy, and after a few hundred years, they would have been able to enter and exit the void!

The original undersea glass building, to the later corrosion-resistant deep-sea metal city, to the floating city suspended in the sky with the power of runes...... With a little common sense, you can know that this is a high-level civilization that has reached the pinnacle of magic energy technology! And this civilization is inextricably linked to today's primitive dragonmen!

Halfway through the mural, Lisa was still obsessed with the contents, but the syndicate noticed that the materials of the surrounding corridors had changed a lot...... The outermost portal was rock, and as it went deeper, the material of the corridor gradually changed from stone, to metal, and finally to the crystal-like walls that are now unnoticed, and only Lisa, who was not sensitive to these things, did not notice.

- This is not a refuge for the dragonmen to dig at all...... This is the remnants of an ancient civilization!

After perceiving this, the syndicate immediately felt that many things could be explained, you know, such a huge project as the underground shelter, even if it was handed over to the demons, it would not be easy to do, and the small population and strength of the dragonmen could not complete this task at all.

But now was not the time to think about these things, and the Dragonman and the Flame Demon continued to look backwards.

At this time, the content of the mural changed a lot.

The merfolk civilization has been able to enter and exit the Void, their crystal ships can withstand the effects of space-time turbulence, they sail slowly in the multiverse, they have tried to explore many worlds, but they have not succeeded due to the rejection of the world, but these optimistic guys have never been discouraged and have been exploring the Void. This period of time is the golden age of mermaids, countless people in order to go to the distance, leave their hometown, explore the unknown territory and work hard, magic technology is even more explosive development, the void spaceship has been replaced by nine generations in just a dozen years, everything is moving towards glory.

Everything ended that day.

The mural was nearing its end, and both Lisa and the Syndicate were looking intently at the contents, and when the girl saw the mural, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah! Yes, it's the dragon god! ”

"Ancient Dragon!" The Flame Demon also said in a deep voice, "That's it! ”

Appearing above the mural is a silver dragon wandering in the void, it has wide wings, and thunder blooms all around it, but this ancient dragon is obviously not in good condition, and there are pursuers behind it. The mural does not depict the pursuers in detail, but uses a mess of lines to scribble a layer of mysterious darkness...... This darkness obscured most of the void, and it was chasing after the silver dragon. The silver dragon asked the mermaid civilization for help, and for some reason, the mermaid civilization decisively agreed to the other party.

And so, the war began.

This is an unusually tragic war, under the dark attack from all over the multiverse, both the silver dragon and the mermaid civilization are retreating step by step, they stopped exploring the outside world, and concentrated on the research of war emergency technology, at the beginning, the mermaid civilization can be said to be a fiasco, but with the passage of time, they can actually be inseparable from the unknown darkness battle, and the combat power of the silver dragon is also beyond imagination, the two joined forces, and actually blocked the invasion of darkness.

However, the mermaid civilization is still too young after all, they accidentally exposed the coordinates of their home world in the case of a small defeat, and the darkness will naturally not let go of this opportunity, it blatantly invades the home world of the mermaid civilization, and destroys the ecological balance of the world with extremely powerful destruction magic. But this dark power was also defeated by the raging merfolk civilization and the silver dragon.

But this is only revenge, not victory...... The world where the ecological cycle was completely destroyed began to change violently, the sea was swallowed up by the endless deep valleys that cracked on the surface, the whole world turned into a dead desert under the volcano and smoke, and the mermaid civilization was unable to maintain the survival of the world in such an environment after paying a heavy price, and the entire civilization and the world were gradually destroyed.

Until the silver dragon descended into the world and connected itself to the whole land.

The last mural is that the dragon created a huge mountain range in the vast desert where the sea was once transformed, and it shared its blood with the last merfolk, turning them into the appearance of the dragonmen today, so that they could live in the world where the ocean disappeared, and then, the dragon was also battered in the desert until the end of the mural.

"Oh my God......"

Seeing this, both Lisa and the Syndicate were shocked beyond words, no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't imagine that the origin of the dragon man was so tortuous and incredible.

The Firedemon finally understood why Lisa was always looking for the sea that she had never seen and no one had described...... Because it was the real bloodline, their entire race was still a life that inhabited the sea hundreds of years ago. However, the original sea has evaporated into a desert, and the former city has been pressed deep into the earth's crust by natural disasters, and the ruins can only be seen hundreds of meters below the mountain range, just like the underground tunnel where they are now.

And just when Lisa blinked, not knowing how to sigh, there was footsteps on the other side of the corridor.

"Have you finished reading, Lisa?"

Approaching were the elders of Iron Mountain City, led by the old dragonman who had been tested at the beginning of the bloodline, and he looked at Lisa, who was still unable to hide his shock, with a gentle gaze, and said softly, "This is the origin of our dragonmen...... The origin of our Koronos. To protect themselves from the darkness of the stars, our ancestors made a pact with the dragon gods to join forces against a common enemy. ”

"Those foreign invaders in the sky peeped into the power of the dragon god, but they didn't know that they were not the real enemies of the dragon god at all...... Darkness is coming, and before that apocalypse, it's all just a joke. ”

The old dragon man raised his head, he stretched out his hand, and a ball formed by a blue arc slowly appeared in the palm of his hand, he pressed the ball into the mural, and suddenly, the two sides of the entire corridor, even up and down, left and right, began to change violently, in Lisa's surprised gaze, the original exquisite mural on the crystal wall all disappeared, began to become transparent, and the entire corridor also began to deform violently with an unknown force, and finally turned into a square hall.

"This is the lookout where the Chronos civilization once monitored the void, a city made of steel and crystal...... Hence the name Iron Mountain City. ”

With the words of the old dragonman, chaos began to appear in the entire crystal hall like snowflakes, but soon, the snowflakes dissipated, and a clear picture appeared in front of Lisa's eyes—it was the view of the Koronos Mountains underground! It's even constantly focusing, projecting its vision high into the sky, straight into the sky!

This crystal hall can actually directly observe the scene in the void!

Above the clouds, in the void beyond the world, terrifying flashes of energy are flickering wantonly, in the turbulence of time and space, the war between super life forms is still going on, you can see the dim light of decay and depravity penetrating the barrier of runes, you can also see invisible fluctuations smoothing out the invasion of frost, and the sun-like light stands in the center, no matter what the attack can shake its posture...... Several points of light shining like stars were moving and flickering rapidly against the background of the dark starry sky, they had been fighting for several days, but for a life of this level, as long as the vital points were not damaged and the energy source was not blocked, then even if it was a battle for dozens of days, years, hundreds of years, it would not be a problem.

If it were an ordinary person, it should be attracted by this brilliant battle light, but Lisa keenly noticed that while all the super lifeforms were busy fighting, the stars around them were dimming little by little. I don't know when the turbulence of time and space became more and more violent, and the light of the stars emitted by the world became weaker and weaker, as if a layer of black mist was spreading, enveloping the entire void into his arms.

Finally, a layer of darkness that obscured the stars suddenly appeared, swallowing all the stars that had been fighting before into his belly!

At this point, the starry sky was as black as ink, and there was no longer a flash of brilliance from before.

"Roaring ————————"

On the surface, an angry dragon roar came, the silver dragon looked up at the starry sky overhead, its eyes seemed to be burning with flames, the ancient dragon vibrated its wings, harnessed the thunder and magnetic field, and wanted to fly into the sky and fight against the eternal enemy, but just as it was about to completely fly into the sky and break through the world barrier into the void, a silver, metal-like chain suddenly suddenly came out of the air and pulled the ancient dragon back to the earth!

And with the trembling of this chain, the whole world of Kronos trembled slightly, not in the physical sense, but a kind of shaking from the heart of every living being: as if, as long as the chain was broken, the whole world would be completely destroyed, and there would be no possibility of rebirth.

"Lisa?"

The old dragonman sighed, he turned his head, stared at the dragonman girl who had been keeping her head down, silent, and he said softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Why...... I don't know anything at all......"

Lisa, who had been keeping her head down since she saw the mural, and didn't know what she was thinking, muttered to herself in a deep voice, and suddenly, she suddenly raised her head and said loudly to the old dragon: "Why are you telling me this?" Why do you want me to know this?! I don't understand it at all! What mermaid civilization, what origin of dragonmen...... The battle between the dragon god and the darkness or something, I don't understand anything - why tell me, why only tell me now?! ”

"Why did you tell you?"

The old dragonman repeated the words, and he smiled bitterly, "Because it's only you." ”

Next, the dragon elders said in unison, "Only you can help the dragon god and cut off the steel chains that connect to the world. ”

"That's something that only you, with the purest blood of the dragon god, can do!"

"Roaring ————————"

Above the surface, in the middle of the desert, the silver dragon was still trying to take off, but no matter how many times it tried, it still couldn't rise into the sky and enter the void because of the silver chains.

The ancient dragon's eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, and the purple-red light flickered in the depths of the dragon's pupils, but it didn't dare to break free from this chain, not even to try to destroy it.

Because it was hundreds of years ago, it made a covenant with a civilization that had done everything in its power to help its own race, its own world.
