Chapter 421 A world in chaos (13)
Pull out the radish and bring out the mud, which is the norm in the world.
On this land, nothing happens in isolation. The ancient dragons have incomparable power, which means that they are destined to be unable to develop silently and become stronger without anyone noticing—because their existence will trigger changes in the world and create an ecological environment that belongs to them. lock up.
But on the other hand, if an ancient dragon suddenly descends among the nations, it will appear out of thin air.
There is only one possibility.
That is, the countries don't have a deep understanding of the world they live in.
There is a labyrinth hidden deep in their kingdom.
Ian believes that a maze can fully support an ancient dragon.
Take the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea as an example, its internal ecology can definitely withstand the survival of several monsters of the fourth energy level.
As for the fifth energy level, there is no need to consider it, because the fifth energy level is no longer a member of the natural ecology, but the complete creator of the natural ecology.
Just like the complete Qiganglong doesn't care about the natural ecology of Nanling at all. He only needs to exist, and he can distort the world around him to suit himself.
"There is a big labyrinth in Canaan Moore, and this labyrinth has never been discovered. The larvae of the Iron Dragon have grown in it for a long time, until recently, they reached the fourth energy level, and have the ability to gradually change the surrounding ecology."
This is Ian's conclusion.
And this conclusion is basically correct.
“…indeed, exactly.”
Anfa was silent for a while, and the elven scholar nodded in admiration: "Basically that's it--the church members of the Canaan Moor branch accidentally discovered a huge underground dark area during a mountain exploration, which goes straight to the earth's crust. deep."
"In it, there is a brand-new piece of sardine vein... He sensed something was wrong, so he stopped exploring, and only brought back the most elite piece of it."
"However, the Canaan Moor Branch did not have the technology to identify the steel stone, so they entrusted us with the identification. They hoped to find out whether the underground steel dragon had a blood relationship with the Baisen dragon god—if so, Is it possible to find the other party through this source of connection."
"It's amazing!" Xiou was more direct, and he applauded with emotion: "How did you guess the maze? I guessed that this steel dragon was forgotten by the mother in the dragon's nest. Eat the mountain to grow..."
—Of course, it’s not that I haven’t seen the Great Labyrinth, and what you’re saying is simply applying your own experience to other dragons.
Ian thought to himself, and then turned to look at the old mountain man.
Since the two Qigang dragons are connected, it's no wonder Elder Manya said he must know.
No matter how things develop, the Nanling Dragon Worship Sect will definitely participate in this incident about the ancient dragon and the labyrinth, and because of the belief of the Baisen Dragon God, it will definitely cause huge damage to the mountain people, and even the entire Nanling Province. influences.
—So, after Marquis Barton knew about this, did he provide convenience to the Dragon Cult?
Compared to the Dragon Worship Sect making trouble secretly, it is better to cooperate directly and control the matter in their own hands.
"That's pretty much it."
Elder Manya stretched out his hand, took out the necklace of steel and stone from the altar, and handed it back to Anfa.
He stared at the phantom of the dragon **** still floating on the altar, and said softly: "This is something that cannot be refused. Just like Ian, no matter how you think about it, you are also from Nanling and the white people of Port Harrison. The steel dragon is the dragon **** of Nanling, and we are all dragon blood holders of Nanling."
"Since this is the case, it is better to take the initiative to find out the successor of the Dragon God."
"Just before we act, we have to find out the inner ghost."
"Indeed." Anfa nodded: "According to my guess, the betrayer should be an elf code-named 'Zifeng'. She used to be a knight. She was forced to wander because she offended a member of parliament. Awakened Dragon Blood."
"Looking at it now, it should be a bitter plan for the undercover... Now she should be protected by the candle holder."
"She is not the most important target." Elder Manya said: "After all, she has already betrayed her, and arresting her will not recover the loss—not to mention that Zifeng was unsuccessful at all. You only need to wait for the return of the King of the Mountain, and then you can use the reaction of the altar to find the position of the son of the Dragon God in reverse."
Having said that, the old man paused his bone stick, and said in a deep voice, "Our most important purpose is to cooperate with the Marquis of Barton and find out the ghost on their side."
"Otherwise, no matter what we do, he will leak the news."
At this point, the discussion is almost over, because Ian is still injured and needs to rest, so he left early.
Xio took the boy away, while the old man and Anfa stood in front of the altar.
There are no mottled moss marks on the ancient altar, but there are still traces of wind and rain. A piece of moonlight penetrates the thick clouds in Nanling and shines on the sintered steel stone, making its luster deeper.
"He is not an undercover agent, but his purpose is not pure."
Anfa was the first to speak and expressed his conclusion, and a nearly cross star-shaped light mark faintly lit up in the elf's golden pupils.
He looked in the direction where Ian and Xiou left, and said lightly: "He didn't have the slightest malice towards us, but he didn't panic when he knew we were the Dragon Worship Cult - normal knights or sublimators wouldn't have such things attitude, unless he already knows what kind of organization we are and is determined to join it, otherwise he will be somewhat repelled."
"Although the mysterious black shadow was indeed chasing him all the way, I feel that this may also be within Ian's calculations. He used the black shadow's hand to win our trust...or there was someone who contacted us. An excuse, but also an opportunity to observe our attitude towards him."
“Although he is young, he has a deep mind. Under the beautiful and harmless appearance, he is actually as beautiful and sharp as a sword forged by cold steel, and extremely dangerous.”
This is a fairly objective evaluation. The old man was silent for a long time. After more than ten seconds, he slowly said, "Anfa, this is not a problem at all."
"Our purpose is not pure, is it?"
The old man raised his head, he looked at the elf bachelor, and said calmly, "I joined the Dragon Worship Cult in order to use the name of the belief in the Dragon God to reorganize the mountain people who have been scattered and almost split."
"Xio and his mother, the king of the mountain of Baisen, are trying to use the knowledge and foundation of the Dragon Blessing for thousands of years so that they can achieve the fifth energy level and become one of the true kings on this land."
"And you, the boy of the Jin Deng family... You said that you wanted to explore those lost ancient knowledge, so you joined the Dragon Cult... Of course it is true, but like Ian, is that all?"
"...Of course not." Anfa opened his mouth to speak, and after a few seconds, he shook his head with a wry smile: "But I already understand."
The elf bachelor whispered: "We really need a knight with a bright future in the empire to provide us with all the information and resources we need—just as this knight with a bright future also needs our knowledge and resources. We cooperate with each other."
"Win-win." Elder Manya emphasized, he stretched out his hand, causing the dragon shadow on the altar to groan, and then dissipated: "So I only need to know one thing - he has no malice towards us."
"that's enough."
He turned around and left the sacrificial altar square: "Let's go, I will probably contact Little Grant later, and you should also rest early. Nanling will not be peaceful for some time to come."
"You're right, but I don't think it's just Nanling."
Anfa followed behind the old man, and he laughed at himself in a somewhat humorous tone: "Why do you think I left Canaan Moore again? As soon as the Heavenly Royal Court retreats, the federal parliament will be completely chaotic..."
"In this world, where is the chaos?"
…
Ian's pursuit of the mysterious shadow and his disappearance in the depths of the Byson Mountains was quickly reported back to Port Harrison.
Surprisingly, not many people were concerned about Ian's safety.
—I don’t think Ian/that kid would be so reckless, he must have other plans or backup plans!
Although some people are indeed worried about Ian's accident, most people's trust in Ian is already quite blind... especially those few who saw Ian with their own eyes, took Feiyan's special operations team The caravan members who returned with their heads firmly believed that everything was in Ian's plan.
—Ian will be assassinated by the mysterious assailant? It's almost the other way around!
And Viscount Grant is also one of them.
But as the 'true' news continued to come back, he also began to worry about the safety of his knights.
The good thing is that he soon learned through certain channels that Ian is currently recuperating in the Avold Department... or the Dragon Blessing Cult, which is very safe.
