Chapter 324

The ring is also inlaid with a milky white crystal, which is crystal clear.

Ischa recognized the jade, but the material of this crystal... seemed completely unfamiliar. "Grandma, this crystal..."

"Primal Crystal." Veronica didn't hide it.

"Primordial... Crystal?"

Ischa's thoughts stirred slightly, and she suddenly recalled, "I remember when Constantine attacked my Holy Temple last week, Little Los also used the so-called Primal Power... Grandma, what is this—"

"The necklace I gave her also had the same crystal."

Veronica said, "I just didn't tell her."

Ischa frowned slightly. "Why?"

Veronica slowly looked at her granddaughter, meeting her red eyes.

The grandmother and granddaughter exchanged a glance for a moment, and Ischa suddenly realized, "Because of my brother-in-law... is that right?"

Veronica chuckled. "You've always been so clever, Ischa. The Primal Crystal will make it easier for you to gather Primal Power and use more powerful magic. It's just that this thing involves too much of the history of the Dragon Race, and I don't want Little Los's husband to know too much about it."

"Grandma, do you also think that my brother-in-law is a bit... of unknown origin?"

"Yes."

Veronica turned around, placed her hands on the railing, and gazed at the distant night view.

"It is very unusual that Little Los's Silver Dragon Sanctuary has been invaded by dragon kings of various races multiple times in just a few years."

"Even if the Silver Dragon territory is rich in resources, it should not be embroiled in such frequent wars."

"And all of this probably started after Leon woke up."

"So I think... this man of unknown origin must be hiding some secret."

"Admittedly, he saved Little Los and the children from danger on several occasions, and some even call him a 'hero of the Dragon race,' but similarly—"

"He will also be in danger."

"Little Los must know this too, but... she deeply loves her mysterious husband, and even if she is in danger, I believe she will not leave Leon."

"Therefore, I can only leave the Primal Crystal to her as a gift, hoping that she can master this powerful force."

"Of course, I'll leave some for you too, so you won't say that your grandma is being biased."

Ischa smiled and carefully put away the jade thumb ring inlaid with Primal Crystal.

"I understand, Grandma."

"What do you think Leon's purpose is?" Veronica asked.

Ischa pondered for a moment, then replied, "My mysterious brother-in-law loves Little Los, and Little Los loves him too, there's no doubt about that. But if we have to pinpoint his motive... perhaps he's waiting for an opportunity to strike?"

"Wait for the right opportunity?"

"Yes, I think he's waiting for the right opportunity."

Ischa said, "You just said that your brother-in-law would bring danger, but I think that's only half true. Little Los won't put all her eggs in one basket with a man who will only bring danger."

"The charm of that guy lies in the fact that he invites danger, resolves danger, and gives the 'danger' an even more painful revenge."

"As for why I say he is waiting for an opportunity, it's probably because I think that one day in the future, he will resolve all the current crises and troubles, and even... change the entire world order."

"Based on his abilities so far, I believe he can do it."

Listening to her granddaughter's analysis, Veronica nodded thoughtfully, "A mysterious and dangerous man... No wonder Little Los is so infatuated with him. Your Mom was conquered by your Daddy in the same way back then."

Ischa raised an eyebrow. "Grandma, tell me more, I love to hear it."

Veronica chuckled. "We'll talk about that later. Right now, the focus is on your mysterious brother-in-law. Since we can't determine his true purpose, let's talk about his... background."

"Origin..."

"Well, or rather... race."

Ischa was taken aback. "Grandma, do you mean my brother-in-law isn't even Dragon Race?"

Veronica shrugged. "Since it's all just guessing anyway, let's be bold with our guesses."

"Good, good, Grandma, you're getting bolder as you get older!"

"So, do you have any clues, my clever granddaughter?"

Ischa stroked her chin and thought for a while, then a lightbulb went off in her head, "I've got it, Grandma, wait for me a minute."

Having said that, Ischa spread her dragon wings and flew down from the rooftop.

A few minutes later, she returned with paper and pen.

"I actually have some clues about which race my brother-in-law might be from."

As she spoke, Ischa unfolded a sheet of white paper and began writing something on it.

"When I played against Constantine last time, I clearly heard my brother-in-law call his move 'Thousand Birds'."

"But judging from the effect of that move, it should clearly be 'Lightning Rush'."

"Afterwards, I looked up some information and found that they are actually the same move, just with different names for different races."

"And the races that call 'Lightning Rush' 'Thousand Birds' include..."

Ischa wrote down several racial names and handed them to Veronica.

"The Running Wolf Race, the Garuda Race, the ' Lightning Elf Race, the Mamba race, and... humans."

Veronica looked at the names, her gaze lingering briefly on the word 'human' before shifting to 'Mamba race'.

"The Mamba race must be a branch of the Giant Serpent tribe, right?"

"Yes, this branch of the race is also very skilled in using Lightning magic."

Veronica frowned slightly, then shook her head. "I think we can rule out this race."

"Huh? Why?"

"Although the Mamba race can also transform into human form, most of the time their human form is predominantly black-skinned. Your brother-in-law is only black in his eyes and hair, so he probably can't be Mamba race."

On the Samael Continent, all races, after transforming, become infinitely closer to 'humans', but no one knows why they have such strange biological characteristics.

A more scientific guess is:

The human body is the most coordinated and harmonious structure, and it is also the life form that best embodies the beauty of simplicity.

Another, more mystical, guess is:

The Creator is in human form, so all races and beings on the Samael Continent will eventually evolve into human form.

Let's get back to the main topic.

"Oh, is that so... then let's rule that out."

As she spoke, Ischa crossed the ethnic group off the list with her pen.

"Mamba... out!"

The following day, the Melkwy family arrived in Sky City.

Losweiser managed to book an appointment a few days in advance with Selena, the teacher who had taken Noa's school photos last time.

Selena was genuinely surprised when she saw the seven people packed together.

A typical Dragon race family usually consists of two to three people, and at most no more than five.

But this family... if you knew them, they were out taking a family photo; if you didn't, you'd think they were a group going to hunt some S-class dangerous species.

No matter how many people come, Selena can use her professional skills to take the most perfect family photos for them.

After all that trouble, Selena told Losweiser that the photos wouldn't be ready until evening.

While the photos were being developed, the Melkwy family strolled around Sky City.

Ischa and Grandmother Veronica walked quietly behind, keeping a distance from Losweiser, Leon, and the children.

"Grandma, after talking with you last night, I've decided to get my brother-in-law's 'composition' tested properly," Ischa said softly.

Grandmother Veronica seemed to have anticipated this; her eldest granddaughter had always been a woman of action, and certainly not someone who only had a fleeting interest.

How do you want to investigate?

"Didn't we list a few races that were considered the most likely yesterday? Let's start by investigating those first."

Ischa said, "We can test my brother-in-law based on the nature and characteristics of each race, and then deduce his origins from his behavior. What do you think, Grandma?"

Grandmother Veronica watched Leon's retreating figure, a thought flickering in her mind. After a moment of silence, she replied, "Alright. So, which race do you plan to start the testing with?"

Ischa thought for a moment and replied, "Let's start with... the Garuda Race."

Grandmother raised an eyebrow. "Do you know much about this race?"

Upon hearing this, Ischa chuckled, not answering directly, but instead leaning closer to her grandmother and asking, "Grandma, have you noticed anything different about me today?"

The grandmother looked at her eldest granddaughter's pretty and delicate face, examined her from head to toe, and finally focused her gaze on her eyes. "You have dark circles under your eyes."

"That's right~"

Ischa laughed and said, "I stayed up all night last night researching the biological characteristics of those races, just so I could test my brother-in-law's 'composition' today!"

Grandmother shook her head and smiled wryly, "If you had put that same effort into the development of the tribe, the Red Dragon would have already joined the ranks of the top Dragon Race."

That being said, Ischa's Red Dragon Clan and Losweiser's Silver Dragon Clan are still among the top in the entire Dragon Race.

The grandmother said this simply because she had expectations for her child.

Ischa waved her hand, bringing up the previous topic.

"The Garuda Race is a race that dominates the sky and possesses extremely strong dynamic vision and night vision."

"My brother-in-law is such a good fighter, his close-quarters combat skills are extremely high, so his dynamic vision is also excellent."

"Well... I'd like to test his night vision."

Veronica nodded. "So, how exactly should we do it?"

Ischa smiled mysteriously, then stopped and pointed to a shop by the roadside, saying, "Look, here."

Veronica looked in the direction her granddaughter pointed, and there was a room—

Haunted house?

"You think you can test your brother-in-law's 'character' with something like this that kids play with? You're being too naive, Ischa."

Throughout their long lifespans, Dragon Race encounter countless dangers and unknowns. Even the most laid-back tribes have weathered many storms.

Therefore, 'haunted houses' are mostly designed for young dragons and juvenile dragons who have never ventured out into the world.

Ischa shrugged. "Of course I know the haunted house might not scare my brother-in-law, but the point isn't to frighten him. The point is that the environment inside the haunted house is perfect for testing night vision. When we go in later, if my brother-in-law walks on flat ground and passes through the obstacles like it's nothing, then there must be something wrong with his bloodline."

Ischa's idea makes some sense.

While Dragon Race are undoubtedly the closest race to perfection on the Samael Continent, they do have some minor, harmless flaws.

For example... eyesight.

More precisely, it's night vision capability.

The dragon's pupils are vertical, resembling a narrow slit.

This eye structure allows them to accurately capture every move of their opponent and lock onto their prey instantly while moving at high speed.

However, the downside is that such inverted pupils cannot receive a large amount of light, especially at night, and their vision will be slightly reduced.

(When in human form, the shape of the pupils changes slightly, but this does not change the Dragon Race's night vision deficiency.)

Of course, this doesn't mean that Dragon Race become blind at night.

The so-called 'weak night vision' is only compared to their other top-level abilities.

In the dark environment of a haunted house, even Dragon Race who have seen all kinds of storms cannot see their surroundings clearly.

Ischa wanted to use this to test her brother-in-law's lineage.

"Okay, then we'll do it your way," Veronica agreed.

Ischa was slightly surprised. "Oh, Grandma, I thought you wouldn't play along with my antics."

"Heh... let's just say it's stirred up a few ripples in this otherwise uneventful old age."
