Chapter 146 The Birth of Dragon, Ancient War
"Dragon?!"
When Raymond heard that the young man in front of him was actually a dragon, he looked panicked and subconsciously took a step back.
The dragon is synonymous with terror for the people on this island and is the root cause of all tragedies.
But in Raymond's eyes, besides fear, there was also a hint of hatred.
A handsome man with azure blue hair, wearing a silk robe, his figure is as light as an elf, and the harp in his hand makes clear and pleasant sounds.
The man slowly raised his head and looked at Deya, smiling, and said gently: "Yes, Mr. Mage, I am indeed a dragon."
Deya looked solemn.
The giant dragon in front of him, which had transformed into a human form, did not have any hostility towards him.
But in front of him, Deya did feel inexplicable pressure.
Especially the strong feeling conveyed by the Dragon Feast Crystal he possessed, made Deya believe that the giant dragon in front of him might have a high level!
"What kind of dragon are you?"
Deya asked slowly.
This question is important.
Apparently, the other party also understood Deya's thoughts. He smiled and replied: "I am a silver dragon."
Hearing him say this, Deya's tense spirit relaxed a little.
Although there are no such things as metallic dragons or colored dragons in this world, the color of a dragon's appearance is closely related to its temperament.
Silver dragons are gentle dragons who enjoy taking human form and interacting with people of all races.
So as long as you don't do anything that makes the silver dragon hate you, generally speaking, the silver dragon will not slaughter living beings wantonly.
Silver Dragon stared at Deya and the other two for a while. When he saw Mavis, he carefully observed her hair, eyes and other features, revealing an interested look.
"Interesting, a high elf royal family and a human wizard walking together? You two are not eloping, are you?"
Mavis's illusions naturally could not be hidden from the silver dragon in front of her whose strength was unknown.
The silver dragon showed a gossipy expression and leaned forward, just like those bards, as if wanting to hear some interesting stories.
The corner of Mavis' mouth trembled.
Bullshit about eloping with someone. Do you think I would be interested in this heartless necromancer?
However, it is not wrong for the other party to have such a guess. The royal family of the high elves rarely leave the Emerald Courtyard.
And seeing a high elf royal and a human wizard running around outside, it is understandable that one would suspect elopement.
Seeing that the silver dragon seemed a little out of tune, Deya asked, "Mr. Silver Dragon, what exactly do you want to do by using the sound of the piano to lead us here?"
When Silver Dragon heard Deya's words, the gossipy look on his face gradually subsided, and he plucked the strings again: "Mr. Mage, what is your name?"
"Deya...what about you, Mr. Silver Dragon?"
"My name is too long, so you can just call me... Amos."
"Then Mr. Amos, let me ask you the same question again. What exactly do you want to do by bringing us here?"
"You are really impatient, Mr. Deya."
I have to be impatient. I have no idea what this world is reminiscing about.
Deya complained in his heart.
This time, Silver Dragon Amos did not say anything nonsense, but said seriously: "I hope you can do me a favor, Mr. Deya."
Many thoughts flashed through Deya's mind in an instant. He asked calmly, "What favor? Why should I help you? What will I get if I help you? What will happen if I don't help you?"
This barrage of questions startled Amos for a moment. He said helplessly, "Are all you mages so overly rational when speaking?"
"It's not that I'm too rational. I actually like to joke with people, but the situation right now doesn't allow me to joke."
"Well, if you say so..."
Amos shrugged, and he recalled Deya's question just now, and said: "...If you, Mr. Deya, are also trapped on this island and want to leave here, then you have to help me.
If you, Mr. Deya, feel that the help I ask you to do is too dangerous and choose to give up, then I can only say that you only have thirty days to live. "
Deya was startled and asked, "Why do you say that?"
This dragon should be very familiar with this island, or rather, he should be very familiar with that dragon lich!
"Mr. Deya, do you know the word 'evil'?"
Amos asked.
Deya nodded slightly: "Not too well understood, but I know."
"As expected of a knowledgeable wizard, now that you know about 'evil', many things will be easier to explain."
Amos played the harp and sang, "...dragons don't record history in writing, but golden dragons like to tell ancient stories orally.
I once heard from a golden dragon that these strange creatures, let's call them creatures, were born from a brutal war in ancient times.
'Evil' is a collection of emotions, born out of 'hatred'. Their types correspond to the major races, such as dragon evil, elf evil, dwarf evil, etc. "
Deya's heart moved, and he interrupted the other party: "Wait, why are there no humans?"
Silver Dragon Amos smiled and said, "That's right, there are no humans. I don't know why exactly. Maybe humans' emotions are not strong enough to cause human sin?"
Deya nodded and said, "Please continue."
"Evils are extremely rare and powerful. From the known information, the weakest evil has the strength of six rings, and there are many evils with eight and nine rings.
And there is a characteristic of evil, that is, if you happen to meet an evil of the same race as you, then it will be dangerous."
Amos's tone was serious and low.
"Why do you say that?"
Deya listened to the silver dragon Amos explaining to him about the situation of sin.
The words of the witch Mavis also flashed through his mind. It seemed that this silver dragon had more knowledge about evil than Mavis.
As expected, the Lord of the White Tower is too watery, so from now on he will be called the Lord of the Water Tower!
"Evil will greatly affect people of the same race as you. It is no longer a magical power, but more like control of the mind.
As long as they come into contact with the evil of the same race, they will lose their sanity, become crazy, and lose control of their power.
And the dragon evil is the rarest kind among all evils, and is extremely rare."
Amos' words made Deya frown, and he thought of the name that this world remembers - Shadow of the Dragon Sin. "So, that dragon lich is actually the Dragon Sin?"
"Yes or no."
Amos played the harp and sang in an aria-like voice: "Once upon a time, there was an ambitious red dragon.
It wants all dragons to submit to it and wants to conquer the world.
But its power was not enough to do this, and one day, it learned of the existence of Nie, and after its own arduous search, it actually found a dragon Nie!
This red dragon is a very talented researcher. He began to study evil. In his contact with evil, he gradually became crazy.
But in that madness, it actually figured out a way to control the power of evil."
At this point in the song, Amos paused, as if hesitating whether to tell the secret.
Finally, he sang: "...undead creatures, the red dragon discovered that the power of evil to affect emotions and minds has no effect on undead creatures.
It was ecstatic after figuring this out, and experimented on itself. It was extremely lucky and successfully transformed itself into a lich, becoming a dracolich!"
Deya sat opposite Amos and asked, "Does the red dragon have the power of evil?"
This red dragon is undoubtedly the ruler of this island, the dragon lich mentioned by Raymond.
Amos continued to sing: "It succeeded, it merged itself with evil, and wanted to use the power of evil to conquer all the dragons for its own use.
But it also failed. Having merged with evil, it had to feed on the 'emotion of hatred', otherwise it would lose all its sanity and turn completely insane.
In order to maintain its consciousness, it seized an island and conducted its experiments there."
Amos paused, and then continued: "...It needs hatred as food, so it captures different races and brings them to this island, artificially creating conflicts and making them hate each other.
It regulates the population of the island, makes the people on the island hate those who accidentally drift to the island, and it feeds on this hatred.
But this is still not enough, this hatred can only be regarded as dessert after the meal, so it studies a ritual that can amplify the hatred in people's hearts and trigger it.
Every once in a while, it would use this ritual to draw hatred from all living things on the island and devour them as a meal.
As Deya listened to Amos's song, he finally understood why the silver dragon said he could only live for thirty days.
Because thirty days later, it should be the time for the dragon lich to start the ceremony.
If Deya had not escaped from the island by then, he would surely die.
Thirty days is actually the time limit given by this world for remembrance.
No wonder there are no living creatures on this island, that’s because all living creatures died in the dragon lich’s ritual.
After it has eaten this batch of people, the dragon lich will probably send its men out to lure back new people of various races and then feed them a new batch of food.
Raymond's mother was probably brought here in the same way.
Amos stopped playing the harp and whispered, "But this is not what the red dragon, the dracolich, intends to do. Its ambition has long been ignited.
What it wants is to conquer the dragon and the world, instead of living like it is now, just to eat, just to maintain its own sanity, which even prevents it from leaving the island for a long time.
Being good at research, it had a new idea. Since the hatred of other species could not satisfy its stomach, then could the hatred of dragons satisfy its hunger completely? "
The silver dragon's tone gradually became angry: "...the fallen red dragon began to capture his former tribesmen and perform cruel experiments on them.
It turned the dragon's soul, bones, and flesh into power, hoping to free itself completely."
Deya asked doubtfully, "Since it did this, have you dragons never thought of killing it?"
Amos smiled bitterly and said, "It has already mastered the power of the dragon evil. A single dragon will go crazy if it fights it for too long.
But it is smart and cunning. It does not capture all the dragons in large numbers, but only captures a small number of them.
Dragons are actually very lazy. When everyone saw this scene, they just wanted to kill other dragons rather than themselves and decided not to care about it.
Fighting with dragons is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you will go crazy. Since it is not you who is caught, why bother? Well, this is what most dragons think. "
Upon hearing this, Deya exclaimed, "Wow!"
You dragons all practice appeasement policy, right?
Once our dragon-lich slowly accumulates strength, it might capture all of you dragons and turn you into its sexual slaves!
At this moment, Amos suddenly became proud and said, "But not all dragons are like this. We, the Silver Dragon Clan, want to become the heroes of dragons.
Two hundred years ago, a friend of mine and his paladin companions came to defeat the corrupted red dragon.
Unfortunately, he failed and was seriously injured. He fled the island with his companions and headed for the forbidden mainland island. Now no one knows what happened to it."
At the end of the speech, the proud Silver Dragon became depressed again.
Wait, the seriously injured silver dragon fled to the forbidden continental island with his paladin companion?
I seem to have heard of this somewhere.
Deya’s mind turned and he immediately thought of Dragon Tomb Canyon!
The seriously injured silver dragon, the paladin protecting the corpse of his friend who turned into a death knight, isn't this exactly what he had experienced before?
Wow, all these stories are connected.
I killed that Death Knight, and I rode your friend on me to conquer the City of Gold. This is their end.
Deya muttered silently in his heart, but he didn't dare say this to the silver dragon in front of him.
"Amos, I have a question for you. According to the human calendar, what year is it now?"
Deya finally had the chance to ask the question he had always wanted to know: how many years ago had he run to?
"Human calendar? It should be 1577 in the Narbo calendar now."
Amos didn't know why Deya asked this question, but he answered it anyway.
Narbo calendar 1577?
The actual time he was in corresponded to the year 2439 in the Narbo calendar, which meant that it was nine hundred years ago!
Amos suddenly looked unnatural, and he also told his real purpose and hoped that Deya could help.
“My sister was also captured by the corrupt red dragon and imprisoned in the prison of that castle.
There is a dragon's influence there, and it is difficult for a dragon to sneak into the castle. I hope you can rescue her for me."
As Amos said this, he suddenly took out something.
When Deya saw that thing, his pupils shrank.
