"Don't you have any doubts and questions that you want to get answered?"
Looking at the demon in front of him who seemed to be in a daze, the Sylanna's Ancient could not help but urge, "I won't wake up for too long each time."
"Ah, okay! Then I'll ask a question! " After hearing this, Roy drew on the system interface with his finger while absentmindedly asking the Sylanna's Ancient, "My question is, do you think the world you're in is real?"
Hearing this question, the Sylanna's Ancient was stunned. After a long time, it replied, "Of course, I think this world is real!"
"Is that so?" Roy did not stop and continued to ask, "Have you ever thought about whether the world you're in is a world imagined by some humans? It could have originated from a novel, a story, or even just a fragment of a script. Even the characters in this world are similar to the ones in your imagination. If that's the case, would you still feel that your world is real? "
In fact, this was also the real doubt in Roy's heart. Now that he saw the ancient Sylanna's Ancient urging him to ask a question, Roy could not help but ask this question.
However, to Roy's surprise, the Sylanna's Ancient did not think much and directly replied, "I think the world is still real!"
Roy's fingers paused for a moment. "Why do you say that?"
"Haha!" The Sylanna's Ancient laughed. "You're really an interesting demon, different from all the demons I've encountered. They only ask me questions about killing and destruction, but they've never asked like you. Perhaps what you said is that the origin of the world comes from someone's fantasy, but what does it matter? The reason why the world is real is that we can feel our own existence. When we can breathe the air, feel the solidity of the earth, feel the heat of the sun, and see the changes of the four seasons, then it's real! "
"…" Roy carefully pondered over the meaning of this sentence and did not speak for a while. After a long time, he nodded slightly at the Sylanna's Ancient. "I've learned something! What you said does make sense! "
The Sylanna's Ancient laughed heartily as if it was happy to be able to answer someone's doubts.
"Alright, I've answered your question. Now, as an exchange, it's your turn to tell me about yourself!" The Sylanna's Ancient said. "Whether it's about yourself, the world of demons, or even your experience of slaughter, you can share it with me!"
These words made Roy feel that this Sylanna's Ancient was simply the feeling of a lonely old man. He was extremely lonely and wanted to chat with anyone he could find.
In fact, thinking about it, trees were different from humans, elves, and demons. They could only take root in a fixed place and could not wander around. But the Sylanna's Ancient was a very long-lived tree species, staying in the same place for hundreds or even thousands of years. It was no wonder that they wanted to chat with intelligent creatures every time they encountered them.
"Hmm, how about this!" Roy sat down in front of the Sylanna's Ancient. "Let me tell you about my current experience!"
While saying this, something suddenly appeared in Roy's hand.
It was a small round crystal ball. The inside of the crystal ball had a golden luster, and in the center of the crystal ball was a five-pointed star!
"What's this?" The Sylanna's Ancient was immediately attracted by the thing in Roy's hand.
"Ahem! This is … "Roy hesitated for a moment before finally thickening his skin." This thing is called a dragon ball! "
"Dragon ball?" The crown of the Sylanna's Ancient swayed gently, causing the leaves to rustle. He asked curiously, "Is it something related to dragons? I've seen many dragons, but I've never heard them mention this thing … "
"Uh … this dragon ball has nothing to do with dragons!" Roy said. "I found it by chance. For this reason, I consulted many ancient books before learning its name!"
"Oh? Is this thing very old? "The Sylanna's Ancient was completely attracted by Roy's words.
"Yes! It's so old that many people don't know its origin! " The more Roy lied, the more thick-skinned he became. "According to records, there are a total of seven of these things called dragon balls, and the number of stars in them is from one to seven!"
Roy raised the crystal ball in his hand and showed it to the Sylanna's Ancient. "See? The one in my hand only has one star in it. I call it one planet! "
The Sylanna's Ancient immediately understood. "So, there are two planets, three planets, and so on?"
"Yes!" Roy was completely in the zone. With a serious expression and a look of longing, he said, "According to legend, these dragon balls were created by the Dragon God …"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by the Sylanna's Ancient. His bark-formed face was full of shock as he said, "Wait … wait a minute! You just said that these dragon balls were created by the Dragon God? Which Dragon God?! Is it the Dragon of Order, Asha, or the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash?! "
Roy was stunned by his rhetorical question. What the hell? How did the Dragon of Order and the Dragon of Chaos get involved? I just wanted to fool you. Why are you so serious?!
"Uh, I don't know either!" Roy said. "There are no detailed records in the books."
The Sylanna's Ancient sighed. "That's true. If these dragon balls were really created by the Dragons of Creation, then it would be incredible … Ah, sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted you. Continue!"
"These seven dragon balls are scattered in all corners of the world!" Roy said. "When they are alone, they are useless. But when the seven dragon balls are gathered together, if you can chant an incantation, it is said that you can summon a divine dragon! The divine dragon will fulfill a wish of the person who gathers the dragon balls, any wish! "
The Sylanna's Ancient was dumbfounded, and the leaves all over its body rustled. It was completely shocked by the legend that Roy mentioned.
The dragon balls that Roy created were actually not real dragon balls at all but just beacons. The beacons could be anything, but Roy made them look like seven dragon balls in order to prevent a single beacon from being destroyed or lost. Therefore, when he designed them, he added defining attributes to make the seven dragon balls as hard as possible. Moreover, after gathering them together, the positioning signal would increase to the maximum.
His original intention was to leave these seven beacons in this world and then fabricate a legend, hoping to use the mouth of the Sylanna's Ancient to inform the people of this world. This way, someone might deliberately collect these dragon balls and preserve them. This collection process would definitely not be easy, and it would take a long time. This could also give Roy plenty of time. After all, even if he wanted to enter this world again, he would have to wait until he was stronger. The level of high-rank demon might not necessarily be safe, and it might even be higher.
However, what Roy did not know was that the legend he fabricated had caused the Sylanna's Ancient to misunderstand.
He really believed it because the legend of the Seventh Dragon Age had always been circulating in this world!
In the creation legend of this world of Ashan, two twin dragons were born in the initial chaos. One was the Dragon of Order, Asha, and the other was the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash. The Dragon of Order Asha created the six Elemental Dragons, and the Dragon of Chaos Urgash created the demons. The two sides fought a great battle, and after the Dragon of Order defeated the Dragon of Chaos, she went into seclusion to heal. Later, the history of the ancient world was forgotten by the later generations, but the six Elemental Dragons created by Asha began to be worshipped by the people of Ashan. In the end, a Warlock named Sar-Elam became the first person to come into contact with the heart of the Dragon of Order. The Dragon of Order taught him the essence of matter and spirit and led him to a higher path of power. Sar-Elam was enlightened and became the Seventh Dragon. The day he became the Seventh Dragon was the first year of the Seventh Dragon Age. He told the world about the ancient history and made the world recall the Dragons of Creation.
Therefore, after hearing Roy's story, the Sylanna's Ancient immediately associated these seven Dragon Balls with the Seventh Dragon Age. He even thought that these seven Dragon Balls might not have been created by the Dragon of Order Asha, nor by the Dragon of Chaos Urgash. Perhaps they were created by the six Elemental Dragons and Sar-Elam. After all, the number seven …
If Roy knew what the Sylanna's Ancient was thinking, he would probably be dumbfounded. Speaking of which, the number seven was really a very magical number. Look, dead people have seven heads, people have seven emotions and seven orifices, a week has seven days, seven fairies, seven dwarfs, the Tanabata Festival, seven dragon balls, the Big Dipper, and so on …
This could only be said to be too coincidental. Even though the Sylanna's Ancient had never heard of the Seven Dragon Balls in all its years, when Roy first mentioned it to him, he still believed it.
When Roy told him that he was trying to find other Dragon Balls and planned to gather all seven to summon the dragon, the Sylanna's Ancient even asked Roy excitedly what the incantation to summon the dragon was.
Of course, he could not summon the dragon, so Roy could only tell him that the incantation had been lost …
"What a magical treasure!" The Sylanna's Ancient sighed. "Perhaps it's the most powerful treasure in history? Demon, you're really lucky to be able to obtain one of the Dragon Balls … "
"Uh …" Roy looked at his emotional expression and could not help but scratch his head. Was he fooled? Did I really awaken the talent of fooling after becoming a demon?
After staying here for a while, Roy waited for Fat Tiger to return from hunting and eat his fill before bidding farewell to the Sylanna's Ancient.
Looking at Roy's departing back, the Sylanna's Ancient could not help but feel excited. He did not expect that the demon he encountered by chance would be able to tell him such a secret. He felt that the knowledge base he had formed over thousands of years had been enriched again, so he was very excited.
"Ah, maybe I can tell this news to others!" The Sylanna's Ancient muttered to himself. "Although this demon isn't bad, it's better not to let something as important as the Dragon Balls fall into the hands of demons …"
Hmm, I've decided. The next time I meet a traveler, I'll pass this news on …
