Warm Dragon

“Everyone who passes by must remain.”

This is the statement about the amber insect in "The Possible Evolution of the Dragon". Due to the translation, Adin Lieyang's wording is more complicated.

But after Russell summarized it, he roughly understood what the amber worm was.

"Amber traps some small creatures in it, and then buries them deep under the earth. These small creatures are dead but not stiff, and they will absorb some of the thoughts floating between heaven and earth, and then be resurrected under the influence of the power of the earth. Amberworm."

These wandering thoughts can be a remnant of swordsmanship insights, or a strong will to life surrounded by thorns.

It can also be other weird thoughts.

Raising his hand and taking a look at the M-shaped mark on his palm, as well as the sword butterfly marks and thorn marks around him, Russell already had a rough understanding of the origins of sword butterflies and thorns.

These two amber worms were born with free thoughts.

"They are reborn, but they are no longer the butterflies and thorns of the past, but traces of a certain existence in this world that have reappeared."

Russell pondered slightly: "This is...everyone who passes by must stay..."

No matter how the earth changes, even if it changes from warm seasons to ten thousand years of ice, some things that have existed will still be preserved, and after time, they will bloom again in another way.

This is the secret of the amber worm.

Russell's eyes moved away from the books, looking through the gaps in the bookshelves at the small sky outside the window.

Suddenly he thought: "Since amber can retain thoughts and resurrect them, what about fossils? Will there be fossil insects, such as a fossil that was hundreds of millions of years ago, suddenly resurrected into a magical creature?"

But he quickly denied it himself: "Probably not. After all, amber worms are completely wrapped in amber and have a chance to revive. This is not the case for fossils."

Fossils are the remains of animals that remain in rocks after they die.

Basically, what can be turned into fossils are some bone tissues. As for flesh and blood, they have long since decayed and decomposed.

Therefore, if even a complete body cannot be preserved, how can it be said that it is nourished by the power of the earth and can be resurrected from the dead.

Turn the page.

Russell continued to look through "The Possible Evolution of Dragons" and soon saw the content about pseudo-dragons, which contained a very realistic introduction.

There is no other reason. Aden Lieyang has met the dragon domain lord West Jinnali.

The so-called dragon domain lords are knights who contracted pseudo-dragons.

"If the phantom beast and the knight live and die together, there is a very small chance that the phantom beast's bloodline boundary will be broken, and it will be promoted to a magical creature that looks like a dragon but not a dragon, a pseudo-dragon! The pseudo-dragon's power is equivalent to that of a flying dragon, and it can also warm a piece of land."

This kind of land warmed by dragons is called dragon territory, and the Youguang River Valley is a dragon territory.

Therefore.

The knights of the pseudo-dragon are called dragon domain lords.

The West Kinnari recorded in the book is such a lucky dragon lord, and even his surname comes from his own pseudo-dragon Kinnari.

"Jinna has a bird head and a dragon body, with hairless legs and a feathered tail... It was originally the phantom beast golden-feathered phoenix bird, transformed from an ordinary phoenix bird..."

According to the records in the book, this pseudo-dragon Jinnari was originally just an ordinary phoenix bird.

Russell continued to read: "The power of Jinnari's blood can infect the Phoenix Bird, and it can transform into a Yuan Beast species like a Phoenix Bird Dragon... The Yuan Beast species is like a Phoenix Bird Dragon, and can evolve into a fantasy beast species like the Jinnari Dragon... If you evolve further, you may be able to reproduce the pseudo-dragon Jinnari..."

The wild beast-phoenix bird, the phantom beast-gold-feathered phoenix bird, the pseudo-dragon-Jinnari.

The original beast species is Phoenix Bird Dragon, the phantom beast species is Jinnari Dragon, and the pseudo dragon is Kinnari.

"Similar... pseudo... fake... this is really a gradual path, evolving into a dragon step by step." Russell clicked his tongue in amazement.

It can be said that this is an ordinary phoenix bird. Through countless generations of inheritance and the joint efforts of countless similar species, it has achieved a promising path to evolve into a dragon.

When it evolved into a fantasy beast, it succeeded in the first step; then it evolved into a pseudo-dragon through the gateway of life and death, and it succeeded in the second step.

Pseudodragons can infect the same kind, and then help the same kind to evolve into pseudodragons more quickly. This is the third step.

So Adin Lieyang boldly guessed that there might be a fourth step, the step of evolving from a pseudo-dragon to a true dragon. It's just that this step is destined to be too difficult. So far, he has not found enough evidence to prove it.

But he is not a scientist. A specious theory is enough to support his view that "everyone is like a dragon": "If pseudo-dragons are like this, how can knights not be the same?"

At this point, this thin book "The Possible Evolution of Dragons" comes to an end.

The title of the book is related to dragons, but it does not actually introduce dragon-related information, but focuses on the evolution of magical creatures.

So it ended up being relegated to the magical creatures bookshelf.

"It's a good point, but the evidence chain is missing the most critical step...how did the pseudo-dragon evolve into a true dragon? In addition, what is a true dragon? The giant dragon must be a true dragon, but is the wyvern a true dragon? "

all in all.

Russell does not agree with Adin Lieyang’s view that “everyone is like a dragon”: “Based on the scientific worldview I gained from my home on Earth... I believe that the Phoenix Bird’s evolution to Jinnari is not to evolve into a true dragon, but to evolve into a true dragon. The essence of evolution is closer to the true dragon."

If there is a basic operating rule for the extraordinary power of Longmian Continent, then the giant dragon is undoubtedly the closest to this rule.

So the phoenix bird evolved into a pseudo-dragon, which seemed to be evolving into a dragon, but in fact it was an increase in extraordinary power, bringing it closer to this rule.

"However...it seems that Aden Lieyang is talking about dragons on the surface, but he is actually talking about the power of the earth, that is, extraordinary power...This view is not wrong."

certainly.

This is just the opinion of Aden Lieyang's family. Russell did not believe the rhetoric in the book. He can only say that the content related to amber and pseudo-dragon in this book is very valuable.

…

Spent the whole afternoon in the library.

Russell didn't know how much information he consulted, and he had a clearer understanding of magical creatures and Longmian Continent.

"You spent all afternoon in the library?"

During dinner, Cousin Mel heard about Russell's situation and was speechless: "No, can you read those boring books?"

"Of course."

"That's why, shouldn't knights gallop on horses, throw spears and swords? Russell, I advise you not to imitate those erudites and stay in the study all day studying messy things." Mel advised seriously, "No. Girls will like this kind of person!”

Russell smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I may have a chance to obtain the title of Erudite."

"What's the meaning?"

"I invented the cigar, you know."

"Cigars are cool, but they are not the same as erudites, right?" Mel asked curiously.

"Before I invented cigars, I also invented reading glasses... Well, strictly speaking, I also invented a kind of clay bricks, which are more suitable for building houses than rocks... In addition, I am still trying to invent some new things."

Russell said calmly.

This made Earl Merlin surprised: "Reading glasses, dirt bricks? I don't seem to have heard of these two things."

"Yes, Grandpa," Russell replied, "These things haven't spread yet, but my grandmother wrote a letter to the Red Castle. Maybe the great scholars will come to inspect the reading glasses soon."

Russell believed that once the great polymaths saw the actual reading glasses, they would immediately hold a roundtable meeting and rate him as a polymath.

the reason is simple.

Many of these great scholars are ordinary people. When they are old, their eyesight is naturally dim and they need the help of reading glasses.
