The Whispering Verses Chapter 1393: The Dragon of Broken Shell
Chapter 1393 The Dragon that Breaks the Shell
"Sure enough!"
Shade finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then kissed the cat in his arms on the head:
"Mia, you have been a big help this time. I will take you to eat delicious food when I get back!"
The cat then realized that it had been kissed by Sha De, and stretched out its claws to catch Sha De.
Just now, I only used one tube of paint to get a gold needle, but this time I traded two tubes of blood, and I finally saw the number and location of the dragon shell book.
Shad covered Mia's eyes and mouth, and entered the art museum with the cat. After finding the huge stone slab that was half a person tall, he tied the stone slab to his back with a chain, and then tied it to his back. Carry it back.
This eggshell fossil comes from the First Era. When Shade carried it back, the thaumaturgy [Ancient Voice] was triggered.
[The original ancient dragons of the First Age had a lifespan close to ten thousand years, and the lifespan of the powerful among them could exceed ten thousand years. When the First Era ended, the age of the dragon was not only affected by the deterioration of its own bloodline, but also by the change of eras. No ancient dragon can successfully survive to the next era. 】
An understatement, but the truth is quite cruel. Shade still doesn't know what the change of era means, but every change of era is a systematic genocide for dragons.
"So, how powerful were the ancient dragons of the First Era?"
He hugged the cat and carried the slate back to Fiona's side, and he also relied on his ability to understand all languages to understand the strange words used on the slate.
Although the number of letters that can be written on the half-man-high stone slab is limited, the amount of information in this strange text is extremely huge. Shade only glanced at the ancient knowledge about giant dragons, and felt the pain in his head from reading the knowledge for the first time in a long time.
So he could only skip the description of the dragon's sexual knowledge and reproductive details, and look directly at the content of the dragon's sleep growth. After a lot of effort, I finally found a way to use rituals to shorten the sleep growth time. After reading it completely, the voice in my ear immediately reminded:
[Outlander, you have some insights into "dragon". 】
The rituals described on the stone tablet required the use of extremely complex ritual materials. Although Shade had some messy things on him, there were definitely none of the things described on the stone tablet.
But fortunately, this thaumaturgy was used by real dragons from the ancient era, and Fiona, as a dragon from the fifth era whose bloodline has deteriorated again, is also a hybrid dragon. Shade thinks that the ritual materials are inferior. There shouldn't be much of a problem.
Besides, his grades in Potions and Ritual are quite good, and he can make some changes to the ritual without affecting the final effect.
"Let me see, [Ambergris]. A special herb born in the dragon's lair. It is said to be nourished by the saliva of the dragon in its dormant stage, which is rich in ether and spirit."
Shad took out a piece of celery leaf from his pocket, took some saliva from the corner of Fiona's mouth, who was sleeping soundly, and wiped it on, and wiped her blood on the knife just now. This still seemed a bit too hasty, so Shade took off a small piece of residue from the fossilized eggshell, ground it into powder, and applied it to the celery leaves.
"Then, [sacrificial bronze vessels] require dragon patterns."
Shad took out a metal wine glass from his pocket, filled it with blood brew, and raised the glass to the ancient **** whose name he had only heard of - the Dragon of Light. Then, he used a knife to imitate the simple drawing of a dragon maid with a big tail that he saw on the note when he was eating at the Black Night Temple a few days ago, and used a knife to carve a cute simple drawing of a dragon maid on the wine glass.
【Is it a little too hasty? 】
"She" asked with a chuckle.
Xia De was convinced, so he selected a prayer from the eggshell fossil slate and carved it on it.
"You also need the [blood of the strong], which requires the blood of a prey as powerful as yourself."
He looked around and made sure that Fiona, Mia and himself were the only ones here. Fiona's blood will definitely not be used, and although Mia has recently learned to charge small flames with her tail, she is only a weak little animal.
"You can only use my blood."
There is no way around this.
[Think carefully. 】
"She" reminded gently, Xia De blinked his eyes and suddenly realized:
"When we left the clock shop, we got 1 ounce of 'Sands of Time Soaked in Dragon's Blood' (Chapter 1339)!"
The sand and dust were carried in Fiona's small bag, but Shade could not separate the dragon's blood from the Sands of Time. He hoped that the Sands of Time would participate in the ceremony and nothing would go wrong.
Of course, because he was worried that the blood was not enough, Shade finally took some of his own blood and mixed it into the Sands of Time. During the blood collection process, the cat came over and licked Shade's wounds several times.
"Everything else is easy to handle, but the final missing ritual item is [prayer ointment]. Put the ingredients just now into a cup and mix with the ointment, then write ritual symbols on the dragon's body to pray for the ointment. ”
This kind of ointment is generally required to be prepared by clergy. It has only a slight effect of expelling curses and diseases, but it is often used as an ingredient in other more complex healing potions.
Although Shade can bring holy water to the past, praying for ointment cannot. But after thinking about it, he found that the preparation process of "Night Paint" used the prayer ointment method (Chapter 1343). In addition to adding ore and twilight dust, and replacing the holy water with "elven purified water", the two The difference is not big.
Xia De brought a total of three tubes of paint, one tube was used to exchange for gold needles, and now there are two tubes left. So he dissolved one of the tubes in holy water, and then added the dust from the fossilized eggshell again.
After doing this, Shade began to perform the ceremony.
The ritual is not complicated. After preparing the materials, the most important step is to write the ritual symbols on the dragon's body with the mixed oil.
Although Shade had a pen in his pocket, there was no oil paintbrush. He originally thought of scribbling with the cat's tail, but Mia's fierce resistance made Shade give up his idea and could only scribble with his fingers.
The symbol does not need to be written all over the body, but only needs to be written on the forehead, throat, back and tail.
The forehead, throat and tail are easy to deal with, after all, these are areas directly exposed to the outside. When it was finally time to write on the back, Shade hesitated and used a knife to cut a small opening in the clothes on Fiona's back, first releasing her two newly grown little wings with red skeletons. Come out, and then write on the white snow back.
"Mia, please bear witness for me. I only did this as a last resort. I am not a bad person who casually cuts girls' clothes."
He did not forget to say to the cat who was watching the excitement.
After everything was done, Shade held Mia and knelt at the entrance of the tent, watching as the ritual symbols on Fiona's skin gradually lit up as she breathed evenly. Then, traces of light flowed from her body until it overshadowed the red moon light produced by [Moon Dream].
In just half a minute, her entire body was enveloped in a translucent eggshell made of light flow. The small flame at the tip of the tail gradually filled the inside of the eggshell, causing Fiona's entire body to be burned by the flames of the sun. Although her clothes and Shade's coat were not burned in the fire, they were turned into rags. Fortunately, her body was intact.
This phenomenon is better than what was described on that stone tablet. Maybe the "fire of the sun" that has not been completely absorbed also played a catalytic role. But at the same time, this also shows that the "inferior version" of the ritual concocted by Shade is actually useful.
He did not wait long. The blazing flames in the eggshell faded little by little, and finally the flames on the tip of the tail also disappeared. This meant that the flames of the sun were completely absorbed by Fiona.
Then, there was only a crack~ the sound of the shell breaking. The girl curled up in the translucent eggshell squirmed, and then Shade heard a murmur of "Hmm~" in her sleep.
As the eggshell towards Sha De first opened a small hole, the red-gold soft eyes looked directly at Sha De who was smiling from inside the eggshell:
"It really worked! I said, I passed the basic ritual studies with a very high score, so it is indeed possible!"
Shad was as excited as if he had acquired a new Rhodes card with special rules.
Fiona didn't seem to hear Shade's happy voice. Two white arms with cloth strips pierced the thin eggshell, then hugged Shade and pulled hard, directly Pulling the unprepared Sha towards her direction.
The eggshell was completely broken, and Shade, together with the girl whose whole body seemed to be glowing, fell into the layers of quilts in the tent. The passionate girl kissed him, and her body temperature, which was higher than normal, gave Shade a very different feeling.
Fiona's arms hugged him tightly, not wanting him to get up. The two struggled for five minutes before Shade struggled to sit up amidst Mia's screams, wiping his lips:
"Fiona, time is running out, we have to get out of here quickly!"
The girl lying in front of him was breathing violently while looking at Shade above with her red-gold eyes:
"Long time no see, Shade."
"Long time no see, hurry up and change your clothes, let's set off quickly. I only have twelve minutes."
Xia De counted the time and said anxiously. The red-haired girl pursed her lips and nodded, but she did not sit up. She stared at Shade, then opened her arms upwards. Seeing Shade looking at her, she shook her hands dissatisfiedly.
Only then did Shade understand. After bending down slightly, he let Fiona hug his neck, and then they sat up together in the pile of quilts.
Mia was still shouting.
Fiona did not stand up immediately, but continued to hug Shade, stretched her head to Shade's neck, and took a deep breath, as if sniffing something.
