Above The Sky

Members of the Dragon Worship Cult know that their existence itself may cause harm to others. It is right for them to be called a cult, and they will not have any rejection.

But just as there are people in this world who pray to the devil for power and wealth.

Similarly, some people join the Dragon Cult in order to gain great power.

And the holders of dragon blood will never stop because of such 'evil'.

They will move forward.

"If you laugh, you will always feel emotional when you are old."

Standing on the cliff with Ian, looking at the lake in the distance, Elder Manya touched his beard, his eyes still filled with sadness.

Judging from the fact that the old man is also the holder of dragon blood, it is very likely that the members of the Dragon Cult who created this lake are his ancestors.

He turned his head, sighing and wanted to continue to tell Ian a point about the secret method of masking breath.

But when Elder Manya looked at Ian, but didn't find any dragon blood aura on him, he was stunned for a few seconds.

"and many more……"

When he came to his senses, the old man didn't hold back at all, he took a deep breath: "Have you learned it?"

Ian looked up blankly: "Huh?"

He just analyzed the principle of the hidden secret method based on the skills mentioned by the elders of Manya, and realized that this is an independent source seed that has been strengthened and specialized in restraint. The blood-derived quality is continuously condensed on an entity 'Dragon Crystal' or 'Dragon Bone'.

He is familiar with this matter. He has mastered the technique of releasing and re-agglomerating multiple source species at the age of eight, and his ancient dragon core and ether crystal are indeed serious 'dragon blood organs', all related to dragons, perfect Adapt this technique.

So he tried twice, and he succeeded twice, successfully condensing an insignificant crystal in his body.

And this crystal will gradually become larger over time, which is a troublesome place.

So Ian told this question to the old man in the mountains, and he was not quite sure how to deal with this crystal.

"Let's put aside the crystallization thing, you actually learned it so quickly?! How dare you directly run the secret method that a cult member who has known you for a few minutes told you?!"

And Elder Manya was still in disbelief. He grabbed Ian's arm and looked at it seriously.

And the young man smiled: "Elder, don't forget that I am a psionicist, I can feel your emotions... As for whether this concealment method is effective or not, I can tell at a glance."

"Even so, it's too risky."

The old man looked at Ian's expression carefully, and found that the other party was really at a loss, and he didn't know why he was surprised: "Genius... No wonder Master Gosse also said that you are a genius. I originally thought it was little Grant's boasting, but now it seems that , that was his rare pertinent speech."

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Elder Manya let out a sigh of relief. He motioned Ian to sit on the rock, then reached out his hand and took out a crystal from where his forehead was covered by his hair.

"This is the dragon crystal. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of element crystal that we condensed ourselves. After taking it directly, we can instantly obtain a large amount of the source substance that was suppressed in the past as a battle supply."

The old man showed Ian the silver-white, gem-like crystal, and explained in detail: "It will cause great harm to the body, and it will also speed up the conversion rate, but it is a rare way to fight for life in times of crisis. Because it comes from the same source as us, it can even temporarily strengthen the ability of our dragon-like parts."

"After all, we are dragon blood people, and our physical fitness can still withstand this kind of damage. In general, the harm outweighs the benefit, but there is value in existence."

Having said that, Elder Manya paused for a while: "You are an alchemist, so it's the same if you use it directly for crystallizing the elements. Usually, you can save some energy costs, and it can be considered as self-produced and sold."

"It's... an unexpected good thing."

Although for ordinary dragon blood holders, this function is a bit tasteless, but Ian is keenly aware that with the ether crystal, he can continuously condense excess source quality himself, and can use this 'dragon crystal more efficiently. '!

Not to mention, he can really achieve the freedom of crystallization of the elements of alchemy - this is something that only a noble alchemist like Isengard can do!

What's more, even Isengard can't obtain high-purity element crystals in the wild.

And he Ian is simple, just break it off from himself.

The elder took Ian back to the sacrificial room, where Anfa and Shio were waiting for them.

"Thank you for saving my life."

Ian thanked these two acquaintances from the bottom of his heart. Without their "righteousness", he could not think of a smooth and unsuspected way to infiltrate the Dragon Cult.

Moreover, Ian did get quite important information and skills from the Dragon Cult.

The concealment method can not only hide the dragon blood organs such as the ancient dragon core and the ether crystal, but also hide his strength, so that Ian can better hide his second-level goblin blood.

Therefore, his gratitude is sincere, and even a person like Shio who is a dragon can't hear the slightest bit of condescension.

"Actually don't need to thank me..." Hearing Ian's sincere thanks, Heo was a little uncomfortable: "I should really help you get rid of the stalker at the back... Well, to be honest, I actually want to wait for you. If you are injured and then help you, it may appear to be more powerful..."

"Oh, I have to say sorry to you..."

Having said that, he actually really apologized to Ian, which made the young man even feel a trace of guilt for deceiving the innocent and good boy.

After classifying Theo as a 'good guy who is innocent enough to be a little silly', Ian looked at the 'interesting and suspicious elf bachelor'.

"Everyone is a companion. Ian, you are also a dragon blood person on the Nanling side. Of course, we are natural allies. When it is natural to help each other, there is no need to be so grateful."

Anfa spoke politely and politely.

Ian nodded slightly in his heart, this is a serious social elf, without the slightest flaw.

Because I had known Anfa and Shio for a long time, Ian was taken by Elder Manya to change his clothes after not chatting for a long time.

"Your original armor is broken, and most of your clothes are incomplete. Fortunately, the things inside are not damaged."

The Afud tribe is a mountain tribe that often trades with the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no shortage of clothing. Elder Manya took out a set of alchemist's equipment from the warehouse and asked Ian to put it on.

When the boy who had changed his clothes walked out of the quiet room, he smiled and praised: "This is very good, the robe is more suitable for you than the armor."

At this time, Ian was wearing a slate gray hooded robe on the outermost side, with the alchemy belt and waist bag tied in the middle, the part hanging down just barely covered the knee, and the part below the knee was the military boots and trousers that originally matched the armor. .

It's not a very good match, but because of the person wearing it, it does look like a young alchemist.

"It's really not bad." Ian also felt relieved rarely - the alchemist's armor is indeed light, but in the final analysis, it is still armor. Even if his physical fitness can easily bear this burden, it is still quite different from the robe and commoner. of.

And just when Ian felt this sense of relief, Elder Manya stretched out his hand and pressed it on the boy's shoulder.

Ian raised his head and looked at each other, but what he saw was a pair of silver-gray dragon eyes.

"Ian."

The old man said in a solemn tone: "Although I believe that with your intelligence, you can guess what I'm going to say next... but I still have to say it formally."

"Are you willing to join the Dragon Cult?"

Ian was a little surprised. He smiled slightly and bowed his head to Elder Manya calmly and formally: "Of course."

"That's exactly what I want."

"Welcome, another dragon blood companion."

And the old man also showed a smile from the heart. He didn't perceive it. Seeing the slightest reluctance of Ian, he was also delighted: "If that's the case, then come on."

"Although it's not appropriate to be rational, but you are also from Nanling, so you must know this secret."

After speaking, Elder Manya turned around and walked outside.

And Ian followed, and he asked curiously and puzzled: "What secret?"

"of course?"

The old man said lightly: "Naturally, it is the thing that made Nauman City under martial law and made Anfa and Shio run back and forth, and the king of the mountain is soaring for this."

"There is a secret about the 'important things' that the Canaan Moorish branch will deliver to us!"
