However, even with these two Authority, it was still too far from High Tier, Ed instinctively felt that Loxor still had secrets.
So he continued digging deeper, and among the remaining clues on the dragon scales, he finally found traces of a third type of dragon that Loxor had likely kept hidden and barely used after acquiring it.
Yellow Dragon is a subspecies of dragon that lives in desert regions.
When the rare creature Yellow Dragon was identified, Ed wasn't surprised; on the contrary, many of his doubts vanished instantly.
No wonder Loxor dared to march into the desert... it turns out he had something to rely on.
As for whether the Authority of any subspecies counts, of course it does.
After all, strictly speaking, all the dragons in the World of Disorder are subspecies of the original, most ancient dragon.
The so-called standard five-colored dragon and the Amber Dragon and Yellow Dragon, which are even lower-level subspecies, are essentially only slightly different in that they diverged at different times.
Dragons are an extremely adaptable race. If they stay in one place for too long, new subspecies will naturally emerge. Those who can't stand it will migrate elsewhere with their original abilities. Over time, a new subspecies is born.
Therefore, at least before the Demonic Tide broke out, there were already many kinds of dragons in this world.
Ed, who has returned from studying abroad, now knows something else—
The Authority in this world is not static; it can be divided, merged, and even gradually generated.
Whether this world rule was always like this or it appeared after the Demonic Tide, at least for now he has no need to doubt the existence of the Authority of subspecies like the Yellow Dragon.
In this way, Ed also began to make plans in his mind:
Aeldra, to the north, is Amber Dragon, possessing the Authority of both White Dragon and Blue Dragon. While wielding lightning, its sensitivity to Psionic Energy is also almost world-class.
Loxor in the south is Green Dragon, but also possesses the Authority of Black Dragon and Yellow Dragon. All common terrains in this world, whether forests, swamps, or desert wastelands, can become his aid.
One has high stats, and the other comes with its own field cards and buffs wherever it goes. If these two were to fight, it would be hard to say who would win.
However, it is now basically certain that these two dragons are only one final step away from replicating their ancestor's Transcendent Tier.
Regardless of which one, as long as a new type of dragon Authority is obtained, an attempt can be launched to reach the Transcendent Tier.
Unfortunately, one fact is now beyond dispute—
The descendants of the Red Dragon Theocracy!
Indeed, Ed can now confirm that Seraphina is a descendant of the Red Dragon lineage.
The reason is simple: since they met, Seraphina has only made a handful of moves, while spending an immeasurable amount of time sleeping and researching how to make money work for her.
More than a year passed, and this guy's level was still steadily improving, with each attack even stronger than the last.
Ed hadn't noticed it when he was relatively weak, but since reaching High Tier Ed, he could clearly feel it.
Seraphina would either lie down in the Obsidian Bank every day or put her legs up on the counter and sleep soundly. When she woke up, she would be a little bit stronger.
If Ed hadn't had some idea about the ownership and effects of the Authority, he would have almost thought that this lazy dragon had some kind of system that made him stronger by sleeping.
This effect is precisely a manifestation of the concentration of Authority!
The problem now is that Ed can confirm this, while Aeldra and Loxor, although unable to confirm it, only know the whereabouts of this Red Dragon and will likely not remain indifferent.
In contrast to Seraphina is a certain lich, Willow Serretima, who wished to remain anonymous. She joined the Second Holy See as Middle Tier lich, and although her research has made breakthroughs every now and then over the past year, she herself remains at the Middle Tier without any change.
Perhaps a few living liches still lurk in some corners of the Demon Realm, or those liches who have been infected and joined the vampire army are still part of this race.
In short, it is very clear that the Authority of the lich race is not concentrated in Willow's hands, and it is unknown whether this makes Ed, secretly shed tears at night.
Therefore, Ed's immediate priority is not only to monitor the potential dragon-cricket fight, but also to prevent the conflict from spreading to the audience.
What if Aeldra or Loxor, blinded by greed, were to parachute into the Second Holy See to attempt an assassination of Seraphina?
Although it's hard to admit, the dragon race's character is indeed extremely wicked:
Aeldra's tyranny and arrogance are undeniable, and previous conversations have confirmed that Loxor not only capricious but also incredibly arrogant.
Whichever of these two becomes Transcendent Tier, the whole world will be in for a rough time.
From this perspective, if we absolutely must have a Transcendent Tier dragon, then it can only be Seraphina.
After all, compared to slavery, capitalism can at least be considered a progressive force.
In order to give this World of Disorder a future, Ed and Daenerys's identities have quietly reversed: for the sake of world peace, bodyguards need to be protected.
But this leads to an even bigger problem—
One mine against nine mines is impossible, but is it possible for Seraphina to defeat three mines with one dragon's power?
"I can't help it."
Seraphina looked at the boy in front of her and said seriously:
"The two of them combined might be 15,000 years old, and look at me, I'm 151..."
"If you want to compare ages, you can include me..."
Ed joked:
"They might just bow down and worship."
"..."
Seraphina was speechless.
In fact, as time went on, she began to have some guesses about the true identity of the young partner in front of her.
After all, although the Dragon Girl is not very old, she has traveled all over the country since she was a child and has a lot of experience. At the same time, dragons are not stupid.
So if Ed really is, well, that is, [that]...
There's really no suspense when it comes to age.
However, dragons are clearly not a race that only compares age. In fact, a dragon that has lived a long life can be so angry that it might even die if it can't beat a younger one.
But that's also where the problem lies. Although Seraphina is one of the more quick-witted dragons, she is, after all, a dragon.
After Ed briefly explained the dangers she might encounter, Seraphina immediately said she wanted to go find Aeldra and confront Loxor.
Seeing this, Ed quickly asked if she had any connections, and Seraphina's answer was simply, "I have no choice."
