"My nerve reactions are accelerated, my thinking speed is also accelerated, and the world in my eyes has become clearer. As long as I look carefully, I can even see the smallest changes in the spectrum of a beam of light..."

"But why?" At this moment, Isengard's tone became confused, and he whispered to himself: "Mom clearly did not inherit the blood of the Sun Bird - that's why she married the Ellen family... who can inherit the Sun Bird's blood It is impossible for the princess to marry outside, but to marry other nobles!"

"Um."

Ian nodded slightly, what Isengard said was what he observed. Whether it is the phase neural network or the light spirit, it is something that needs to be shaped when the soul emerges, but it cannot be fully formed until the third energy level.

It is natural for Isengard to feel scared, because in just over an hour, he has a neural network system that is not available at the peak of the second energy level. It has no delay and can transmit a large amount of information like an optical fiber.

Of course, Ian already had this ability because of the silver chip at the first energy level, so he was not surprised at all. He just pondered for a while and then slowly said: "I have a guess, Ethan."

He paused and then expressed his thoughts: "I think you may not be the first generation of 'researched'."

"Avelina Ellen. In other words, Avrina Setar, the princess who is most favored by Axel, the guardian of the land, is the first generation of 'researched'."

This guess obviously stunned the blond boy for a moment.

"Mother?"

He clenched his fists and then slowly unclenched them: "It's possible...but, grandpa..."

"right."

Ian lowered his eyes and said with some clarity: "Axel should not have started this plan at that time... In other words, the person who prepared this plan should have been at the end of the reign of Inaga II... and Aksel Ser picked up the plan after he became emperor."

"You are the result of the second generation of that plan. It may even have been optimized!"

When he said this, Ian's tone was still a little happy, which made Isengard couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is not a good thing... Even if I have the blood of the Sun Bird, but it is combined with the Eclipse Dragon , how should I advance?”

"It's not a big problem."

At this moment, Ian was completely interested.

If you have to say why... the answer is simple.

Because Ian saw himself in Isengard.

No need for so much nonsense, just a simple comparison.

Because Ian holds the silver chip, he has two inheritances: 'Fairy' and 'Unmovable Castle'. Even if the silver chip is uninstalled, about 10% of the elemental structure of the fairy series still remains, and it can be perfectly integrated with the Fudo Castle, and even later be constructed into the 'Pioneer of Steel'.

And what about Isengard? The Corroding Light Refining Dragon was originally a terrifying monster that parasitized other monsters and stimulated their potential. It can indeed possess its own sefirah structure as well as those of other monsters in a short period of time.

In other words, these are two inheritances.

If anything, the bloodline of the Eclipsed Dragon is like a blank slate, a silver chip that only has the ability to imprint!

And isn't Inaga II the silver chip holder of the previous generation?

——Inaga II, when he got the silver chip, he probably already had a light body. His psychic powers were strengthened, so he lost the ability to have two inheritances at the same time like me.

At this moment, Ian's heart was filled with sudden joy: "But at the fifth level, Inaga II found the best of both worlds - he is probably already studying how to use silver chips to give himself the second inheritance , it has even been successful!”

"The Eclipse Dragon Series is the experimental subject he chose to replicate his 'dual heritage'! He wants to be like the 'Forerunner', with the ability to replicate the silver chip and become part of the path to sublimation! "

"Whether it's Avrina or Isengard, I'm afraid they were all 'experimental subjects' created through the cooperation between Inaga II and the head of the Ellen family at that time!"

Of course, this was all Ian's guess. Ian also believes that things will not be that simple. The bloodline in Isengard is obviously not just as simple as dual inheritance. Both Axel and Inaga II have great expectations for this plan.

With this expectation, it is certainly impossible for them to cause problems with Isengard's advancement.

"The nervous structure in your body is very stable. Apart from becoming stronger, there are no derivatives that will affect the next advancement."

With a silver-green light flashing in his eyes, Ian said firmly: "Don't worry, Ethan, you are as healthy as a Bison bison now, with full blood and vigorous energy. You may even be a little too healthy!"

"That's what worries me."

Isengard slowly turned around. The young man had a sad look on his face. He put down his left hand covering his forehead, and Ian immediately noticed the most important part.

On the forehead of the blond boy, a strange 'U' shaped mark was glowing.

This mark is as bright as a star, and like a bird struggling to spread its wings.

An unreasonable golden glow radiates from this mark, seeping into every inch of the surrounding walls, alchemy equipment, and experimental tables that it can penetrate. No matter what gap it is, it is illuminated, even the radiation-proof wall prepared by Jin Deng's laboratory. The board was almost penetrated.

Isengard's body floated slightly, and the weight of his body became lighter, as if part of the material had transformed into other forms, which frightened the young man: "Ian, I... I have the Setal royal family's mark on my forehead. Mark - I won't be able to suppress it for a while, and its power allows me to even defy gravity and fly easily..."

"This is definitely not normal!"

"...Indeed." When Ian saw this scene, he also swallowed subconsciously. Not to mention that the Sun God Bird could easily fly in anti-gravity just after it advanced to the second energy level, which was really enviable to Fudo Castle. The teeth, just on Ethan's forehead, represent the direct bloodline of the royal family, and can even be said to represent the sunbird mark of the 'heir to the throne'...

"This cannot be seen by the First Prince Carlos. Although I think they may have known about this possibility for a long time, which is why they are so kind to you, but you cannot be so conspicuous in Canaan Moore."

Ian said solemnly: "I can help you suppress it - but can you control it yourself?"

"Yes, but it takes time." Isengard couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief after hearing Ian's words.

The young man stepped forward, asked Ian to observe the mark on his forehead, and complained: "Fortunately, I chose to advance here in Anfa. If it were in the embassy... God knows what it would be like."

"The most I can do is change your surname to Setar and become a prince - your blood is quite expensive."

Ian stretched out his hand. He carefully helped Isengard control the source of energy on his forehead, making the sunbird mark slowly dim: "Do you think your father will object? He might breathe a sigh of relief. The Ellen family The confusing picture of internal strife has finally become clearer, and he must be secretly happy to have you out of this big trouble and to return you and cut ties with the royal family."

"...Maybe. Father...maybe he will really do this." Isengard sighed, and then fell silent, concentrating on calming down the fluctuations of his own essence with the help of Ian.

At this moment, Ian's thoughts were churning in his heart.

The first question is the simplest.

——What exactly is the Eclipsed Light Refined Dragon?

Ian was extremely curious about this.

The experiment that happened to Isengard was definitely due to the specialness of the bloodline of the Light Erosion Dragon... But was it really just because of the specialness? You must know that the imitation night shadow on the second prince's side is also part of the experiment, and the light-eating dragon is only one of the plans.

Ian thought that he had to find time to see what kind of strange creature the Night Shadow was. By looking for the commonalities between the Night Shadow and the Eclipse Dragon, we may be able to understand the purpose of the entire experiment more clearly.

However, whether it is the Light Erosion Dragon or the Night Shadow, they are all 'accessory creatures' that corrode, parasitize and strengthen the bodies of other creatures to fight.

In nature, is it possible that there is such a creature that does not have much combat power on its own and must rely on other creatures to obtain full combat power?

It can't be said that there is no such thing, but in this hellish place like Terra... Ian is more willing to believe that the Eclipse Dragon is a powerful man-made combat creature, a degraded, biologicalized breeding suit!

Yes. Ian believes that the Corroded Dragon is essentially a kind of breeding equipment - and the breeding equipment developed by the Ellen family is nothing more than a reversion of the biological and liberalized breeding equipment.

In his previous life on Earth, Ian had read a lot of novels and comics, and played some games. He knew everything about poison, black virus, and dragon-eating things, so he could think of this possibility.

However, even if that were the case, who was the owner of this costume, and what enemies did he have to fight to invent the Light-Eclipsing Dragon?

And what is the reason why Inaga II and Axel are interested in this bloodline?

The churning black mist, the parasitic creature that devours all bloodlines... This kind of creature is indeed very mysterious!

“One mystery after another.”

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but sigh, and then laughed: "But don't worry, Ethan, no matter what, your strength is improving, which is a good thing."

"But this is also the result that my grandfather wanted." Ethan whispered, his mood was depressed. After all, this was the first time that he had so clearly noticed the difference in his 'blood'... It was not that he was powerful and special, but that It is special as an experimental subject.

"It doesn't matter, just show off the tricks. The opponent is at the fifth level. You don't think that you will be arrested for experiments if you are at the second level?" Ian shrugged. He was quite relieved in this regard: "For those who Speaking from the top level...you don't have the fourth energy level, so I'm afraid you don't deserve to know the truth at all, and you are not qualified to be their experimental subject."

"It's still a long time. Who knows if I will already be at the fifth level when you are at the fourth level? I will definitely help you by then."

"Pfft." Ethan laughed. Although Ian's comfort was very weird, as if he was belittling him and boasting about himself, his mood did improve a lot: "Don't brag so much, you may not be able to tell me about my third level. Can I catch up with you?"

Ian turned his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you have to work hard from now on."

With Ian's help, the mark of the Bird of Light on Isengard's forehead was suppressed, or in other words, controlled.

As long as Ethan wants, he can make this mark light up again, proving that the blood of the Sun Bird in his body has been activated.

"Thank you."

After confirming that his vision had disappeared, the blond boy couldn't help but let out a long breath: "I really can't let the teacher know this. This involves the most fundamental power of the royal family and will harm the teacher."

"He can definitely guess what is going on." Ian sat on a chair nearby and muttered: "Master Gesai was sent by Axel to take care of you. Although for various reasons, he intends to help you and me. , but when you advance to the second level, you must report some situations."

"I think that whether it is the Sunbird Mark or the Light Spirit Neural Network, it is an unexpected success. It should be a reflection of your recent growth. Even Axel could not have expected it... But for the song competition master For safety, you still have to expose some minor anomalies so that he has something to report."

"This is also the reason why Master Gesai is unwilling to come and help you. If he really knows, if there is a flaw somewhere, all of us will be unlucky. It is better to just know nothing, and then listen to your self-report and report Some painless results go up.”

"Yeah. I'll do that."

Isengard put on his coat and shook his head to calm himself down.

When he saw that Ian was still thinking about something, he felt a little more relaxed: "Don't worry too much, my strength unexpectedly became stronger, which is actually a good thing for this exploration - I know Ian, you are interested in The Xenogeneic Research Institute is bound to win, so I can help this time!"

With that said, Isengard stretched out his hand. Ian was stunned for a moment. He looked at his friend's outstretched hand, then suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand to hold it.

Then, with a burst of heat and light, golden-red blood surged out of Isengard's body and clung to Ian's hand like a tree root.

Then……

A burst of golden lines flowed all over Ian's body!

【How about it? 】

Isengard smiled. He did not speak, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes: [How is my ability? 】

"...very strong."

Although there was no sound, he could understand his friend's thoughts directly from the light. Ian stood up slowly. He let go of his hand and felt the activated source material suddenly burning and boiling in his body. He couldn't help but smile: "That's really it. What an unexpected surprise, Ethan. I thought that the light communication ability of the Sun Bird series would only be available at the third level, but I didn’t expect that it would be available at the second level?"

[Probably this is also the special feature of bloodline fusion] Isengard laughed: [In this way, even without using psychic powers, we can communicate and cooperate secretly without any warning - provided we want Being within each other’s field of vision, the limitations are still very large]

"Enough." Ian nodded, and at this moment, his eyes also lit up with silver light,

【Light Spirit Nerve Extension】

[Bonus status·Cornerstone·Special bloodline enhancement]

[Enhancement given by the holder of the special Corroded Dragon bloodline burning his own blood. It allows the person being strengthened to obtain various gain states such as ‘Thinking Acceleration’, ‘Essence Boiling’, ‘Light Spirit Communication’ and ‘Higher Excited State’]

[Originally, the neural extension enhancement of the Corroding Light Refining Dragon can only provide allies with a single 'source boiling', 'higher excitement state', or the 'Thinking Acceleration' gain, but after blood fusion and transformation, the Corroding Light Refining Dragon Dragon bloodline can provide more power to the person being strengthened, providing all buffs at the same time]

【……】

"This is the power of our etheric equipment. I simulated it with my own blood. Although it is not complete, it should be enough."

Isengard did not use a lot of blood, so the strengthening time was less than ten minutes. This was just a test and not a real battle.

Ian looked at his hands with interest, and he nodded in agreement: "It's completely enough. I didn't expect that the blood of the Corroding Dragon is equivalent to high-level alchemy potions. It's not true at all, and it's even a little underestimated - ordinary To achieve this with alchemical potions, several large bottles are needed!"

"Let's go."

After Isengard regained his energy, Ian stood up and patted his shoulder: "Get ready to pack your luggage... Carlos told me just now that everyone is here now, and exploration teams from various countries are gathered around the ruins. Even the Speaker of Japheta has arrived.”

"As you become stronger, we will be more confident."

The young man said very energetically: "It's time to prepare to go to Half Moon Lake."
