When the invisible dragon's power began to wane, unable to resist the repulsive force of the wormhole, it was forced to withdraw from the teleportation array and return to the entrance of the vortex in the real world.
Liszt was still panting heavily with lingering fear.
The invisible dragon Bard beneath him was shivering, and it took a while for him to return to normal.
"Brother."
A Qi had been waiting at the entrance of the vortex. When the invisible dragon flew out, she immediately came over. "Did the observation process go smoothly?"
Liszt wiped the sweat from his forehead, indicating that A Qi should go back first. He remained silent on the way until they arrived at a hidden laboratory. Only then did he sort out the scene he saw in the wormhole. "A Qi, what do you think the essence of the Weave is?"
"It's probably the embodiment of a kind of magical law."
"No." Liszt shook his head solemnly, looking at A Qi as he slowly said, "You might not believe the essence of the Weave … It's a dragon!"
"A dragon?" A Qi's eyes widened.
"Yes, an inconceivable dragon. I can't describe its appearance. In fact, I didn't even see its entire body." Liszt did his best to recall the scene in the depths of the Weave that he had seen with the adult invisible dragon's white crystal trail in the spatial passage.
It was an indescribable scene. It was like a net, but also like a field, slowly extending into the depths of the void.
Within the white crystal trail was an existence that surpassed the structure of crystals and existed outside of matter. However, this outside of matter was not outside of the matter that the invisible dragon passed through. Outside of the invisible dragon's matter was probably some kind of special latitude, while the Weave penetrated the entire latitude, only existing in a way that surpassed all cognition.
However, this was not enough to make Liszt exclaim in horror. Instead, in the depths of the Weave, its existence once again surpassed all cognition.
In the end, it formed an image that represented a 'dragon'.
"Brother, what kind of dragon is it?" The usually calm A Qi couldn't help but become anxious.
"I can't find a concrete description, but it gives me the feeling that it's a dragon … Or if a dragon is an existence at the limit of magical power, such as the fire dragon representing the limit of flames, and the invisible dragon representing the limit of space, then this dragon that incarnated into the Weave represents …"
Liszt pondered for a long time, but still couldn't find the most accurate word to define it. In the end, he reluctantly used a word to explain: "Order."
"Order?"
"That's right, it's Order, or perhaps it's the rules of how the world operates, or perhaps it's magic power, matter, and soul … No, I don't feel like it has a soul. It seems to be the source of matter and magic power … No, no, it should be said that it separates matter and magic power."
Liszt followed his feelings and slowly explained the impact the Weave had on him.
It was a dragon, shapeless and formless. It was not even known if it really existed, but it was definitely revealed in the crystal white trajectory. The Weave was an extension of its Dragon Magic that enveloped the entire world. It was a structure that was above matter and magic.
"Is this dragon still alive?" A Qi asked quickly.
"I don't know. I can only sense that it's a dragon, an abstract combination of matter and magic power. I can't sense its life aura or soul wave." Liszt shook his head. It was difficult to accurately describe the Weave. "But it's hard to say that it's dead. It's as if life or soul doesn't exist in it."
He paused.
Liszt added: "Just like humans don't have tails, the dragon that incarnated into the Weave doesn't have life or soul attributes. It's just a collection of some kind of order and rules."
At that moment, he discussed with A Qi for a long time about the dragon incarnated into the Weave.
However, apart from temporarily naming the dragon as the "Weave Dragon", or simply the Mystic Dragon, they didn't discuss more about the Mystic Dragon. So the topic quickly shifted to the experiment itself. Using the invisible dragon to observe the nodes between matter and magic power, there was a lot to talk about.
Throughout the night, Liszt elaborated on what he observed in the experiment.
The discussion only ended when the sun rose in the east. A Qi couldn't wait to take the notebook full of Serpentines and return to Firewood Town's mage tower to organize the mages for the next step of research. Liszt also leisurely left the secret laboratory and returned to his temporary residence in Firewood Town to rest.
Before going to bed, he summoned the smoke mission.
"Mission completed. Reward: a profound understanding of the Weave."
"Mission: The Whirlpool River residential area is the first stage of the development of the Flame Islands. Duerte Red Apricot is leading a team to the north to establish a settlement. However, there are many prying eyes hidden in the forest. Why not investigate in depth? Reward: a large number of creatures of unknown races. "
"So, the Weave Dragon mission is broken just like that?" Looking at the new mission, he was a little unwilling. He was in a stage of intense curiosity about the indescribable Weave Dragon. He originally thought that the smoke mission would do something about the Mystic Dragon, but he didn't expect that it would just be superficial.
As soon as he saw the spots on the Mystic Dragon's body, he immediately changed his gaze.
He wasn't interested in the content of the new mission and the reward of the creatures of unknown races. His thoughts were still on the Mystic Dragon.
What did the Mystic Dragon represent? What was its relationship with this world? What was the relationship between the gemstone dragon, the metal dragon, and the holy dragon?
Since the Weave was formed by the Mystic Dragon, what was the relationship between the Moon Empire and the Mystic Dragon?
What was the relationship between the mages and the Mystic Dragon?
Apart from him, was there anyone else who had seen the Mystic Dragon, studied it, or even communicated with it?
He even held onto his pounding heart and fantasized, "The smoke mission noticed the Mystic Dragon. Will it start issuing chain missions related to the Mystic Dragon so that I can ride it one day?" This thought was a little too bold. He still didn't know what the Mystic Dragon was.
"This world is stranger than I imagined." He tossed and turned on his bed until the sun was high up in the sky. Only then did he fall into a light sleep.
In the midst of his drowsiness, he had a dream.
He dreamt that he had become a transparent person and was walking in a transparent river. He was muddle-headed and drifted with the flow. His surroundings were pitch black, but there were countless transparent people like him walking around. At this moment, a grotesquely shaped dragon claw tore through the darkness and tore towards the transparent river he was in.
The darkness was forced back bit by bit by the dragon claw, as if it wanted to grab him.
He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. However, at this moment, the transparent river was filled with mist, enveloping all the transparent people.
But the indescribable dragon claw still tore through the darkness, then the mist, and directly crushed him.
However, when the dragon claw quickly retreated from the mist and the darkness, a wave suddenly rolled up on the transparent river. He, who had been crushed, was now walking on the transparent river.
Muddleheaded, he advanced forward into an unknown direction. He did not rest or retreat. Just like that, he entered the unknown darkness.
"Phew!"
When he woke up from the dream, it was already sunset. Liszt couldn't remember what he had dreamed of, but he didn't really care. He vaguely dreamed of a river and a dragon claw. Perhaps the dragon claw was the Mystic Dragon's claw that he was thinking about.
