"Dragons are just extraordinary."

Hearing Xio's confident assurance, Ian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Ever since Xio came to Xiahui Territory, Ian and Adlbert have started research on the 'Dragon Soul'.

Although it was only a side observation through Xiou's physical examination, the results were already quite surprising.

The dragon soul itself is a perfect soul that is not limited to 'form and state' and is very free.

Whether it is split, shattered, cut or disintegrated, the separated dragon soul can maintain its existence and wait for recovery after reunion.

In other words, even if the dragon soul is crushed into a group of mosaics with a super soul crusher, as long as these mosaics are gathered together, compressed and rotated, they can spontaneously reorganize into a complete dragon soul.

And in this process, there won't even be any information missing.

The original Gnostic Institute used the natural aggregation phenomenon of dragon souls to restrain Xio's dragon soul.

It sounds simple, but it's actually extremely incredible.

After crushing something, you can reassemble it without losing any information or paying any observable energy. Everything can happen without any external energy from the outside world... This is not reverse entropy. What else is reverse entropy? ?

Especially when Xio showed them that they could easily fuse the dragon soul separated in the prosthetic body back, and then separate it again, repeating it dozens of times without any loss at all, they completely understood this move. Ian and Adelbert gasped several times for the meaning behind it.

This process of 'self-healing' made Ian extremely consternated. If he wanted to explain this counter-entropy phenomenon that was completely unexplainable in the three-dimensional world, he could only throw it into the 'primitive ether' that is completely incomprehensible with current human technology. Or the 'true ether'.

In addition, even if the dragon soul splits, information can be transmitted between the two split consciousnesses through some kind of peculiar etheric resonance - this kind of transmission is almost beyond time and space, just like the nature of ether that transcends time and space. Same.

The reason why Xio and other real dragons can use their true bodies to rest while using their prosthetic bodies to move around on the continent is precisely because of the wonderful nature of the dragon soul.

Moreover, sleeping in the main body and moving in prosthetic body can also delay the wear and tear of the dragon body, and gain enough experience, which is a very cost-effective thing for a real dragon.

Therefore, most real dragons will try to create prosthetics.

However, this ability to transmit information resonance across time and space actually has certain distance and area restrictions - in a closed environment similar to the Steel Dragon's Lair, the perception between Xiou's souls will become extremely delayed, and If the distance is too far, information may be lost.

If not, Ian feels that the dragon soul of a real dragon can be used as a hyperspace communication base station in space... As long as a dragon splits his soul into two halves, throws one to the center of the galaxy and the other to the edge, which one will cross Didn’t a hyperspace communicator appear halfway across the galaxy?

No. Ian believes that a complete true dragon soul...for example, the dragon soul of the ancestral true dragon, might actually be able to achieve this function.

It's just that today's true dragons are missing, or this part of the skills and inheritance has been forgotten.

"With Xio helping to use the dragon soul to deter the monsters and observe the movements of the spies and killers, things will be much simpler."

After instructing Xio to tell him all the spies and killers he had observed, Ian left the banquet hall, walked in the corridor in the cabin, and slowly approached his target: "Next, as long as I guard Next to Master Grave, just block all those killers - for some things, it's better to ask the other party in person."

"For example, what exactly is the 'super life erosion' on him?"

As soon as he boarded the Siren, Ian noticed that inside the ship, there was a strange object that exuded silver light and had golden light inside.

The representative of this in the precognitive vision is a strange object that is of the fourth energy level, but has the potential of the fifth energy level. Or maybe... it's part of the 'fifth level strange object'.

Such materials are of indescribable value. Even though the Siren is a flagship-level ship of the fleet and a diplomatic ship of Canaan Moore, it is not worthy of transporting rare objects of this level - even if it really needs to be transported. Then the defense on the Siren will not be as lax as it is now, with so many killer spies from other countries.

It was obviously the result of someone secretly bringing it in and taking all the sealing measures.

But in front of the precognitive vision that has evolved several times, it is still extremely clear.

At first, Ian was still thinking about what it was and whether he should sneak over to see the situation... But before the young man could put his thoughts into action, he saw Master Gravet himself.

【……】

The silver chip completely saw through Master Glave who passed by. This old bio-alchemist, who can even be said to be dying, is now transforming into a 'familiar' of some kind of super life form.

Not to mention the exact form of the Familia, Ian is certain that the super life form should be a sublimated form of plant type.

In addition to being dangerous, this Familia transformation can also bring additional strength...Master Glawei has obviously entered the aging stage, but his physical strength is not the most common 'excellence' in the second level, but generally speaking. The 'cornerstone' that can only be found at the third energy level is enough to prove this point.

If Ian guessed correctly, the strange object stored in the storage compartment 17 of the Siren is a part of the 'body' of a fifth-level plant-based super life form, and Master Glawei has been studying it for a long time. So I was eroded and transformed by it unconsciously.

Ian could even analyze the fact that this strange object was hidden and preserved, and he could analyze that Master Glawei most likely secretly brought this strange object on board the ship, and neither the Gnostic Institute nor other forces knew about it.

In fact, this is the research material that Master Glawei secretly brought out from the Gnostic Institute! At least part of the research material!

After analyzing this, Ian became more energetic.

Let’s not talk about whether Master Glave’s smuggling of confidential research materials is considered a crime of espionage... Since except for the master himself, it is estimated that no one knows the existence of this strange object.

Then Ian secretly took it to watch, analyze, and study it. No one else would refuse, right?

This plant-type rare object is most likely to belong to the Imperial Academy of Gnosis, and it should belong to him!

With this thought in mind, Ian has arrived at the corridor that is only a few turns away from Master Grave. At this moment, the young man slowed down.

Because he saw through his precognitive vision, Master Glawei was also looking around furtively at the moment. After realizing that "no one" was observing him, the elf scholar's aura quickly lightened, and the clothes on his body began to change color. As if invisible, optically invisible in the corridor.

Of course, this didn't stop Ian from continuing to observe him, like a big light bulb, but it was enough to avoid ordinary passing passengers.

As Ian watched with interest, Master Gravey began to walk towards the lower level of the Siren, which is the storage cabin.

And his goal is very obvious.

It’s ‘Storage Cabin No. 17’!

at the same time.

In the banquet hall, a tall blond elf stood in the corner of the hall. He was holding a wine glass and stood in the corner without any presence, staring at the intertwined figures and the grand banquet in front of him.

He was dressed in military uniform, and the silver armor plate with clear inscriptions was engraved with a translucent coating on the surface, as if covered with a thin layer of frost. This elf knight did not wear a helmet, and his left eye was a cold black-on-blue pupil mechanical structure, with vivid The flexible red right eye formed a sharp contrast.

‘Tidewalker’ Elden Jinxiang, a meritorious knight in the Battle of the Red Sea, former captain of the second battalion of the Candle Bearers, and a member of the Blood Tribe of the Ten Kings.

He is also the current captain of the Siren.

In fact, Elden can't sail a ship at all, and he doesn't know anything about celestial phenomena. How to command and identify the direction can only rely entirely on the power of the sublime itself, without any technical content... But because he is a trustworthy third level, even more so The water-based sublimator can easily push this 67,000-ton ship with its strength alone, so no one has ever cared about it.

But in contrast, as the former captain of the professional intelligence organization "Candle Bearer", Elden has unique skills in identifying spies and lurkers.

His left eye, the 'Eye of the Soul', can see through most of the concealments of psychic powers and sublimation skills, directly revealing the inconsistencies in a person, and knowing whether the other person is lying, whether there is something in his heart, and whether he is being controlled by psychic powers. , coerced by others.

The killers sent by the Gnosis Academy, the Cangtian Royal Court, and Canaan Moore's own council, as well as the supporters behind them, and even Master Grave's own covert and obviously ulterior actions were all wiped out by Elden. Close his eyes, but he himself can rely on his powerful strength to hide his aura and hide aside. The light is refracted through the water mist, so no one can detect him.

But just now, he noticed that Ian Yinfeng, a distinguished guest from the Ember Lamp Department, a representative of the Dragon Worship Cult in the south of the Setar Empire, and a well-known young genius in the alchemy industry, seemed to be heading in the direction of him. Take a look.

——Did you discover me?

Elden couldn't help but ask himself, and his instinct told him that yes, Ian had indeed discovered him. The opponent is also a second-level fairy bloodline. With his sensitivity in water quality, it is not impossible for Ian to discover him.

However, the difficulty is very high.

What a genius indeed.

Thinking of this, the blond elf captain couldn't help but sigh.

Even though Elden has seen through many truths, he has no intention of caring about it... As long as no one dies, no matter what accident happens, he will not change his role as the captain of the Siren.

The relationship between the empire and Canaan Moore, the reaction from the Cangtian Royal Court, the infighting within the parliament... these things are not things that he needs to worry about.

As the captain, all he has to do is to get all the crew members to their destination safely - after that, whatever happens has nothing to do with him.

But if before that, someone breaks the rules...

This can be seen from the fact that Elden is still the captain of the Siren - those unruly people no longer exist.

"I really don't understand. Master Grave's return is obviously a great thing for Canaan Moore. All elves should celebrate it - why is there still someone in the parliament who wants to assassinate him?"

Although Elden can't understand the reason, his biggest advantage is that he has no long-term curiosity and doesn't inquire about anything: "Forget it, it's all boring politics anyway."

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't stand it, Elden wouldn't have left the Candle Bearer... He actually preferred simpler jobs, such as tracking down heinous criminals and fighting off the endless tide of beasts.

And just ten minutes later.

Elden's chance finally comes to fulfill his wish.

"captain!"

In the portable communication device beside my ears, the urgent voice of my first mate, the real captain of the Siren, sounded: "Oh no! Several swarms of Warcraft are approaching on a large scale, and we have been surrounded!"

"In addition, there are three 'Beast Kings' approaching... They are coming menacingly, and they are obviously trying to intercept us!"
