Intermission.

Argland Council State.

This is a country located in the northwest of the Kingdom, surrounded by mountains, where a large number of Demi-Human Species live together.

Due to their political system, their relationship with the Slane Theocracy to the south was extremely poor, and they disliked each other.

The last rays of Dusk illuminate the cities nestled in the flat heart of the mountains, still bustling with noise and activity.

Most Demi-Human Species possess the ability to Night Vision, and nighttime has no effect on them. Only weaker races like humans rarely go out at night.

-

- Central City "Metoria"

This is the center of the entire country, located on a peninsula plain in the north, close to the sea.

"Metoria" means "center" among various peoples, and also means "Divine Abode".

Several permanent councilors reside here, but the city is actually quite peaceful.

In the spacious hall.

Only the sound of long, drawn-out breathing echoed softly between the stone pillars and walls.

Suddenly.

Tsaindorcus Whitesion, the "Platinum Dragon Lord," awoke from a light sleep and regained consciousness.

Open your eyes.

In the darkness, it was as if a bright lamp had suddenly flashed, and no matter how Jet Black the environment, it was as bright as day in Long Tong's vision.

His amber-colored dragon eyes narrowed slightly.

There was a momentary pause in breathing. The Platinum Dragon Lord's silvery-white body lay quietly on the ground, its entire body shrouded in a layer of white light, exuding an elegant and powerful aura.

A look of surprise appeared in his eyes!

A consciousness was trying to contact him, which startled him from his light sleep.

"Dragon Signal"

A low-level Wild Magic that allows one to contact another even from a great distance simply by calling their name in one's mind.

This Wild Magic never existed before!

Among the corrupted Tier Magic, there exists a magical means called "message" for transmitting information over long distances.

so.

A True Dragon Lord researched the principles of this Tier Magic and developed Wild Magic called "Dragon Signal".

This even caused a sensation!

Without True Dragon Lord to oppose them, they are not a corrupt race.

Even if one despises "filthy power" in one's heart, one has to admit that there are many powerful and convenient magical techniques in Tier Magic.

pity.

Ultimately, only a few can be developed using Wild Magic.

The thought flashed through the Platinum Dragon Lord's mind, but he did not answer the call immediately. Instead, he fell into a slight state of contemplation and suspicion.

Who wants to contact him?

Because of the nature of this magic, the True Dragon Lord, while not minding its use, would only employ it when absolutely necessary.

Besides!

Items created using Wild Magic can also be equipped with "Dragon Signal".

A brief silence,

The Platinum Dragon Lord activated his consciousness and answered the message from the other end.

My thoughts just now were mostly about deducing whether the message from the unknown True Dragon Lord would pose a danger to me.

In an instant!

It was as if a spiritual fluctuation from a distant place had established some kind of connection with me.

"Dragon Emperor's Son."

A slightly cold yet authoritative and oppressive voice resounded in my consciousness.

That sound?

The Platinum Dragon Lord's amber vertical pupils widened slightly, and its massive dragon head, lying expressionless on the ground, lifted slightly.

"Deep Darkness Dragon Lord" Nid Claude Rotorto!

Comparing the memories in his mind with the voice that rang out, the name of the True Dragon Lord with whom he had been in contact automatically emerged.

Unexpected!

The Platinum Dragon Lord remained silent, seemingly waiting for the other side to explain.

He originally thought the True Dragon Lord was a "Secluded Faction" and contacted him, never expecting that he was a "Radical Faction" True Dragon Lord.

It wasn't exactly a surprise!

It carries a sense of "fright," which indirectly indicates the seriousness of the matter.

"It is said that you established an experimental nation in the northwest corner of the continent, where many inferior Human Species exist."

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord didn't mince words and asked directly.

In fact.

The relationship between the two sides is indeed not good; among the remaining True Dragon Lord, there are currently three factions.

The Radical Faction was led by the "Six Dragons Alliance," the Conservative Faction was led by the "Dragon Emperor's Son," and there were several other Secluded Faction who pursued "transcendence."

Before the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord Platinum Dragon Lord continued:

"Do those inferior Human Species possess special racial talents known as ' Innate Talent '?"

"Long time no see, Hony."

The "Platinum Dragon Lord's" voice was surprisingly gentle, unlike the majestic voice commonly found in Dragon Race.

"Innate Talent do exist—it's not a particularly amazing racial talent, and it's quite common among the Human Species."

"Given your personality, the fact that you're asking me about something like this suggests something has happened that you're taking it so seriously. Have you come into contact with someone who possesses Innate Talent?"

The "Platinum Dragon Lord" suddenly thought of many things and voiced his doubts.

Apart from the northwest corner of the continent, where there are a large number of humans, he remembered that the number of Human Species in other regions was extremely small.

In particular, some countries in the central part of the continent do not even have any human beings.

"-One Platinum Dragon Lord."

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's voice was stiff; even though he sensed the other party's friendly attitude, he remained indifferent.

but.

He made no attempt to conceal information, briefly recounting his previous encounter with Tang Zheng, with particular emphasis on the "Prophecy."

Innate Talent.

The fact that the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord only contacted the Platinum Dragon Lord now is not because he didn't value the previous intelligence.

There are many things that need to be addressed first!

For example, the original stronghold needs to be abandoned and replaced, and the precious Golem that has suffered severe damage needs to be repaired.

He lacked the ability to repair Golem and could only contact the "Dust Star Dragon Lord" within the [Six Dragons Alliance].

Therefore, we had to give up several precious magical items in exchange!

besides.

Serious information such as "Prophecy" and "the extinction of the Dragon Race" also needs to be discussed within the [Six Dragons Alliance].

A preliminary conclusion was reached:

① First, determine the accuracy of the upper limit of the talent strength of "Innate Talent".

② Further confirm the identity of the "Unknown Red Dragon," the descendant who used "high-intensity corrupting power."

③If only one of the above two points can be confirmed, then the Prophecy "the Dragon Race Destruction" requires high vigilance and necessary precautions.

In addition to the three points mentioned above that require immediate decisions, they have also deduced some additional intelligence.

The "Unknown Red Dragon" was unaware of the True Dragon Lord's power.

In particular, did that inferior human with the Innate Talent of "Prophecy" rely too much on the subjective judgment of a weakling?

After careful analysis.

They unanimously concluded that the "unknown Red Dragon" was clearly taking the "Prophecy humans" away from somewhere, and that this could be used to deduce further!

Is it possible to determine the initial location where the "Prophecy" occurred?

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord pondered many judgments and considerations, while quietly awaiting the Platinum Dragon Lord's reply.

Now!

The black hole in the center of the Platinum Dragon Lord's vertical pupils slightly expanded, and an astonishing sense of oppression emanated from his body.

"Is the force polluting the world about to strike again?"

Neither side responded.

Even if the probability is low, considering the timeline, the Hundred-Year Aftershock are already imminent, which is why the [Six Dragons Alliance] attaches such importance to this.

The Platinum Dragon Lord paid no heed to the silence of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord, his gaze involuntarily falling on a sword stuck in the corner.

The sword's shape doesn't seem suitable for slashing, yet its blade is incredibly sharp, a level of sharpness that modern magic could never achieve!

"The upper limit of the strength of Innate Talent cannot be determined, and the direction of these abilities also varies."

However, the possibility of possessing "Prophecy" exists.

After some thought, the Platinum Dragon Lord gave an ambiguous answer.

"I see."

The imposing voice of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord then rang out.

This answer is sufficient!

The spiritual connection returned to calm, but it was not severed.

"I was curious before, why would you, the ' Dragon Emperor's Son,' end up in such a remote corner of the continent?"

"After hundreds of years, I've come to understand one thing: back then, the Eight Greed Kings were incredibly arrogant, carrying out massacres against all races."

"Only humans, this weak race, are treated with considerable care. Given their nature, how could they possibly care about humans, who are like insects?"

The voice transmitted by the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord gradually became low and deep:

"From my observation, these descending Player or NPC are quite likely to appear in densely populated areas where their race has a high compatibility."

"Do you think the Eighth Desire King takes care of those inferior human insects out of pity for the weak—or some kind of invisible fear?"

Hehehe!

"Does their world contain even more powerful humans like Player or NPC, which might have led them to act this way unconsciously?"

"And you— Dragon Emperor's Son —are you also waiting for some opportunity to pursue your so-called—prudent alliance strategy?"

Voices devoid of any discernible emotion transmitted through the mental connection.

The Platinum Dragon Lord's emotions were unreadable, but his Divine Flash, filled with an indescribable wisdom.

"Snort!"

Unable to get a reply, the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord let out a cold snort; his probing words had not had the effect he had hoped for.

Despair!

The mental connection has been severed.

The Platinum Dragon Lord closed his eyes again, his breathing no longer deep. "Dragon Signal."

Wild Magic activated.

Unable to connect!

!

The Platinum Dragon Lord's eyes snapped open, and he reactivated the Wild Magic: "Dragon Signal"

Olasird'arc Haylilyal!

This is the name of the Frost Dragon King who resides in the "Azerlisia Mountains".

In the northwest corner of this continent, the Platinum Dragon Lord, as the only True Dragon Lord, naturally knows the number of all Dragon Race.

Apart from the five Ordinary Dragon Lord in the Council State, the rest of the Dragon Race live in the "Azerlisia Mountains".

The message was connected very quickly!

After a brief inquiry, the Platinum Dragon Lord disconnected, his gaze gradually turning terrifying.

Unable to contact the "Ancient Fire Dragon"!

During the message connection process, it's not that the other party doesn't accept the message, but rather that they can't find the other party.

There are only two possibilities in this situation: either the other person is dead!

Secondly, it severed this connection!

"The 'unknown Red Dragon ' that Hony mentioned could very well be this guy." Platinum Dragon Lord felt a sense of unease and confusion.

There was no doubt that the "Ancient Fire Dragon" was dead.

It's because the "Frost Dragon King" is still alive; if someone can kill the "Ancient Fire Dragon," then naturally they can also kill the "Frost Dragon King."

in addition.

Although the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord did not provide specific details, the Platinum Dragon Lord could deduce that the "Unknown Red Dragon" must have had special evasion methods to avoid being found by the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord.

This evasion method can naturally also isolate "Dragon Signal".

only.-

Does the "Ancient Fire Dragon" possess such power?

He didn't really pay much attention to these ordinary Dragon Race members, though it's also possible that they weren't.

First!

In either case, an investigation is necessary.

After a moment's thought, the Platinum Dragon Lord began to arrange for his subordinates to go to the Azerlisia Mountains to investigate.

The first three years of the New Calendar.

August 2nd.

Twelve days passed in the blink of an eye.

After returning to the Abelion Hills, Tang Zheng began to continue his research on the legacy materials of the [Corpus of the Abyss].

The campaign to attack the Elf Kingdom has already begun.

However.

Even though Zesshi Zetsumei personally advocated for it, and the six Cardinal also had this idea, making a decision is one thing, but actually launching a war of punitive expedition involves many aspects.

It can't be initiated immediately in ten days or a month.

Tang Zheng is currently conducting experiments on the plan to upgrade the levels and modify the professions of Evileye and Zesshi Zetsumei.

We can only begin once everything is absolutely certain!

Especially the Zesshi Zetsumei.

While Tang Zheng examining the Five Pillar Gods' Legacy in the Slane Theocracy, he was actually using these items to determine the next steps for changing the class of Zesshi Zetsumei.

[Ability Table]

Innate Talent: [Player]

Overall Level: 75

[Experience Bar: 6.82 million/12.13 million]

Skill points: 126

passive-

A thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he summoned the Attribute Panel to take a look at the attributes.

Twelve days have passed, and a total of 18 million Experience Points have been gained. Compared to the previous ease of leveling up several levels at a time, now it's only possible to level up by 1.

class.

He shook his head.

He sighed inwardly at the ever-increasing demand for Experience Points.

Tang Zheng's gaze shifted downwards, landing on a bottle in his hand, filled with clear, bright Red Potion.

That's right!

This is the Red Potion from "YGGDRASIL".

The "Six Great Gods' Legacy" naturally includes not only equipment, but also consumables like these, and Tang Zheng specifically took a few bottles.

After hundreds of years of research, the Slane Theocracy had actually discovered the "Divine Blood," but the resources consumed were completely disproportionate.

Research and development were then halted.

Tang Zheng's purpose in taking the Red Potion was to give it to Nfirea for further research based on the foundation of the Theocracy.

Don't forget.

Tang Zheng possesses the "Dragon Blood Potion," which can forcibly increase Nfirea's [Alchemist] and [Potion Maker] levels.

And their "Innate Talent"!

Based on the time Enri left, even if the journey was slow, she should have returned to Carne Village by now.

Tang Zheng decided to make contact to ascertain Enri's situation, but unexpectedly obtained some information.
