In the end, Fiona did not succeed in launching an attack.
Because when she finally made up her mind to take the initiative to attack, Angus suddenly appeared and told Twain that there was a delightful discovery at the Scepter of the King. She did not know if it was because she was really unlucky.
Thus, the enchanting atmosphere disappeared without a trace.
The two of them followed Angus to the research institute, and then they saw Jean with an excited face.
"This will be an amazing discovery!"
Jean said loudly. "According to the information of the shaman totems you sent back, we finally completely unraveled the secret of the Scepter of the King. As expected, the totem drawn with dragon's blood is an encryption measure, and the hidden message is the spatial coordinates of the Giant Golden Statue Army!"
"We already know this news."
Tang En spread his hands. "So, what is the delightful discovery?"
After a pause, Jean said, "Of course, it's the way to repair the Scepter of the King."
"Oh!?"
"According to the records brought back by Angus, when the Scepter of the King was made, it was made by a group of human alchemists, dwarven forging masters, and gnomish craftsmen. Then the Elven Queen used the pen of the World Tree and the blood of the Dragons as ink to engrave the encrypted totem, and finally created the most powerful army weapon in history."
Jean pointed to the dim Scepter of the King on the table and said, "But now the Scepter of the King itself is complete, so there is no need for a second forging. The situation of the Giant Golden Statue Army is unknown, and there is no need for the gnomish craftsmen's engineering skills. At present, it seems that to repair the Scepter of the King, only three conditions need to be met."
Tang En snapped his fingers. "The technology of human alchemists, the Elven Queen's pen of the World Tree, and the blood of the Dragons."
Jean nodded. "That's right."
Angus said rather jealously, "Now it seems that the first two conditions are not a problem for you at all."
How could he not be jealous? Originally, he was proud of his alchemy skills, but he did not expect that this guy's alchemy skills were not inferior to his own. What made him even more jealous was that he actually had such a close relationship with Aiguin — this was the most intolerable part!
Jean knew very well that even without his relationship with Aiguin, his relationship with the Elven Queen Izali was unusual. How could a human male who almost became the Prince of the Elves be ordinary?
With this relationship, it would not be a problem to borrow the Elven Queen's World Tree Pen.
Angus sighed and said, "The biggest problem is probably the blood of the Dragons."
"What's so troublesome about it?"
Tang En was baffled. "Doesn't Azorkamanda wander around outside every day? He seems easy to talk to. I just want to borrow some blood from him. What's the big deal? "
It doesn't matter even if I can't borrow it. He should have dragon blood in his warehouse. This kind of top-grade material shouldn't be out of stock.
Jean, Angus, and Fiona were stunned.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? "
"Isn't that a matter of course!?"
"Hmm?"
Fiona had a look of disbelief. "You think Azorkamanda is easy to talk to?"
"Isn't that so?"
Angus was stunned. "And you still want to borrow some blood from him?"
"Yes, is there a problem with that?"
Jean could not help but cover his face and say, "How ignorant are you about this!? How could you say such a thing! "
Tang En also felt that something was wrong. "What's wrong? Could it be that there's some trouble here? "
"Azorkamanda is not an easy red dragon. He never was!"
Fiona was the first to reject Tang En's view. "When you weren't around, I wanted to trouble him with something, but he never looked me in the eye! And inexplicably, he was very wary of me! "
Azorkamanda's wariness for no reason made Fiona even more baffled. Naturally, she did not have a good impression of him.
Jean said, "On the surface, Azorkamanda is a very active and curious red dragon, but except for a few words with his partners, he is quite alienated from others. He is no different from other Dragons. He deliberately maintains a moderate sense of distance with other races."
Angus nodded in agreement. "That's right. I've come into contact with some members of the dragon race before. They give people the impression that they are quite friendly. Just when you think that you have a good relationship with them, reality often teaches you a very cruel lesson — their friendliness is based on the benevolence that higher creatures show to lower creatures …"
Jean also quite agreed with this view. "That's right. If becoming friends with the elves requires a certain amount of opportunity and patience, then becoming friends with the Dragons requires more stringent conditions. At the very least, one's personal strength must be at least above the level of Supreme to barely have the capital to talk to them. Of course, this excludes the goblins who share the same rotten taste as them."
"Their natural lifespan is too long. It is said that from the day of the birth of the races until now, they have never died of natural aging except for the members who died in battle. That sense of superiority that has been precipitated for a long time makes people unable to muster the courage to question it … Although Azorkamanda is still a young red dragon who has just reached adulthood, the pride of Dragons is an instinct engraved in their bones …"
Tang En scratched his head. Why did he feel that the Azorkamanda they were talking about was not the same as the one he had met?
"Then, you actually borrowed blood from a Dragon? Do you know how serious the consequences are once you open your mouth? "
Jean's mouth twitched. "There used to be an ignorant and fearless guy like you, but now you can't even find his grave."
"The members of the Dragons have never died of natural aging since they were born. If it weren't for their terrible low fertility rate, Prandal would have been their world long ago. Although now it is no different from their backyard." Angus reminded Tang En. "All the recorded cases of death in history were all battles to the death, whether it was against the creatures of Chaos or those stupid 'Dragon Slayers' in history."
In the history of Prandal, Dragon Slayers really did exist.
As the Dragons dominated the commanding heights of the continent, those idiots wanted to prove their strength and status by slaying dragons. The number of deaths was uncountable, and the number of successful ones could be counted on one hand. But it was the stupid actions of these few Dragon Slayers that set off a terrible bloody storm for the whole of Prandal.
Originally, they did not interfere with each other's lives, but in the end, you came to their door and threatened to kill them. Who could bear it?
What was even more unacceptable was that the fertility rate of Dragons was even lower than that of the elves. It was so low that it was terrifying. The action of the Dragon Slayers stimulated the Dragons' reproduction plan. In order to increase the possibility of the continuation of the race, they tried countless methods and finally created many subspecies, such as sub-dragons and ground dragons. The fearless and wide-ranging hunting grounds of the Dragons successfully gained the title of "lustful by nature". Because of this, there were many rumors that they liked to kidnap princesses.
From a macroscopic point of view, the birth of various subspecies of Dragons had successfully spread the bloodline of Dragons, but the impure bloodline caused many of the subspecies to more or less have a lot of problems. Among them, the most unacceptable thing for the Dragons was probably the problem of IQ.
That's right, 99% of the subspecies were mentally retarded. This was a good way to put it, but a bad way to put it was that most of the subspecies were no different from magical beasts. They were not worthy of the high status of Dragons.
The only successful combination in history was the marriage between a human and a half-dragon. Because humans were a race jointly created by the gods, they were extremely compatible with all bloodlines. Even the Orcs could intermarry, so the Dragons were not a problem — as long as they did not use their true forms.
The combination of male humans and female Dragons did not increase the fertility rate, but male Dragons and female humans succeeded in giving birth to offspring. The compatibility of humans ensured that the half-dragon was one of the few races with normal intelligence and a certain amount of potential. But the biggest problem was … the genes of Dragons were not superior to the genes of humans! The half-dragon was not a freaking Dragon with human bloodline, but a human who had absorbed the advantages of the Dragons' bloodline!
There was a big difference between the two races!
The former was the deterioration of the Dragons' bloodline. Although it was a deterioration, it could still ensure the expansion of the race and the continuation of the bloodline. It was an acceptable level. At most, they would have a shorter lifespan and weaker strength, but they were still considered Dragons.
The latter was the optimization of the human bloodline. The Dragons were like selfless great men who used their excellent conditions to help improve and optimize the human bloodline. The children born from this were not the descendants of Dragons, but the descendants of humans!
The Dragons were unwilling to become the tools of human genetic optimization. Therefore, the marriage between humans and Dragons was declared to be terminated after only one attempt. The half-dragon was also submerged in the long river of history, becoming an unknown secret.
However, although the humans had forgotten this kind of past, the Dragons might not. Every time a young Megalosaurus wanted to leave the Heart of the Megalosaurus to travel and explore the outside world, there would be Megalosaurus elders who earnestly taught them that the women at the foot of the mountain were tigers, and they must avoid them if they encountered them … Bah! They said that the women of other races were greedy and coveted the excellent genes of the Dragons, so they must not mess around. Even if they were bored, they had to clean up the seeds and not give them a chance.
"Based on this cruel reality, the Dragons who go out now basically maintain a high level of vigilance against women … So, do you understand?"
After briefly explaining the secrets of the Dragons, Angus said to Fiona, "Azorkamanda is wary of you for a reason."
"That bastard!"
Fiona was so angry that her pretty face turned red. "Who covets his bloodline! I don't want it even if you give it to me! "
Jean spread out his hands. "The problem is, there are countless women who are willing to take it …"
