Pastor's Tantra

Favna nodded to her, and then repeated: "Yes, it's a beating - or anything close to death.

"If you eat a poisonous weed and don't die, you will be resistant to the poisonous weed from now on; if you are bitten by a snake and don't die, you will have resistance to snake venom. If you don't eat or drink for a long time, your body will adjust to suit This form of life. This is why dragons can live in deserts, deep seas, glaciers, swamps, and volcanoes.

"That's why I said, this is how our dragon family educates our children. As long as you are healed after being injured, your body will become stronger than before. Both humans and elves need hard exercise. 'To be able to do this kind of thing.

"The reason why I am so powerful is because I was on the verge of death several times when I was young. My bones were broken more than a dozen times, my eyes were blinded, my liver was chopped into pieces three times, and the scales on my body were replaced many times. Once. The most serious time was when I fought with a hundred-headed sea beast to cover Heleqin's retreat. My heart and liver were eaten alive, and my wings were also torn off. I was lucky enough to survive. After that, I became more than twice as powerful as before.

"Compared to my time, the world today is so peaceful. Almost none of the dragons of this generation have experience in fighting Warcraft. Once they suddenly encounter danger, it is almost fatal. So much so that the majestic dragons actually fell. To the point where it can be easily hunted to near-extinction by humans - oh, sorry. Sorry, Aiwass. I don't mean to say anything bad about humans, I just mean... this situation was almost impossible in the past."

Favna realized that her words seemed not very friendly to humans, so she politely apologized to Aiwass.

Aiwass shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, it's okay..."

Favna is so polite, how dare he speak. The people who were slaughtered to almost extinction were not humans...

To be honest, this was the first time he heard the words "dragons were almost hunted to extinction by humans". He was startled when he heard it, and even felt a little incredible.

But when I thought about it later, it was indeed reasonable.

Mainly because they have the Silver Crowned Dragon Pearl and Jade in front - although they may not be able to get the power from Huan Tiansi, so they can gain the power of the dragon in the transcendent act of "slaying the dragon". But even so, dragon blood, dragon heart and other materials are still very expensive, and the act of slaying the dragon can even become a "dragon slaying hero" and gain huge reputation.

A hundred years ago, there were many dragons in Avalon. Even Ligeia's previous husband died by slaying a dragon.

Nowadays, there are almost no rumors of the existence of dragons in Avalon. Occasionally, if you hear that there is a dragon somewhere - even if it is just a sub-dragon, there may be twenty or thirty mercenary groups passing by.

This is especially true for Star Antimony. As a nation of ritualists and alchemists, they have an extreme thirst for dragon materials. They don't even dare to demolish a human being, let alone a giant dragon.

From this perspective, Favna's concerns about Rhine seem to be reasonable...

A weak and young dragon.

Even if they are not killed, they may be tamed or captured.

Especially looking at his timid, obedient and caring character... To be honest, if little Rhine was not the child of an acquaintance, Aiwass might also be moved if he saw him in the wild.

If the dragon is a wild wolf, then Rhine may not even be considered a husky - it even feels like it has been domesticated.

"...But, Cardinal Favna, I have a question."

Aiwass asked with some confusion.

"Huh? Please speak."

"Like this situation where a giant dragon is being hunted...don't you, the powerful dragons, just ignore it?"

Aiwass was sure that if the elves were captured and auctioned involuntarily, the Theocracy would 100% intervene.

"Ah, that's right. We don't care."

Favna nodded and said in a very calm tone: "Because this is the way to adapt - if it cannot adapt to the environment, it means that it is an individual that has been eliminated. It is better to destroy it.

"In fact, now that the number of dragons has been greatly reduced and has approached the danger line, the fertility of the entire dragon group has immediately increased by more than ten times. At the same time, the IQ of the dragons has also improved a lot compared to the past... Nowadays, people like Rhine Young dragons and even younger dragons can permanently transform into humans, elves, or other races.

"The irritable and warlike character of the dragons has also become much cooler. The new generation of dragons are very close to almost all civilized races, and their learning ability has been further improved. At the same time, their appetite has also been reduced, and their dragon form The body size has also become much smaller as a result.

"You Avalonians, you should think that there are no dragons in Avalon now, right? But as far as I know, there are at least a hundred pure-blooded dragons active in Avalon. It's just that they are all hidden... Compared with the dragons of the old era who were good at plundering, the dragons of the new era are better at hiding.

"Therefore, no matter what environment it faces, the dragon will not intervene. Once excessive intervention is carried out, the dragon's racial evolution ability may be skewed and unable to correctly adapt to the environment."

"...Is this the son of adaptation?"

Aiwass murmured.

This was the first time he knew that the dragon had this "hidden function".

Adjust and adapt based on race...

If the giant is the embodiment of "power", the undead is the condensed "twilight", and the Warcraft is the embodiment of "beast". Then the dragon is undoubtedly the spokesperson of the word "adaptation".

"...So, is this the reason why Rhine is timid?"

Aiwass looked at Rhine thoughtfully: "Is there a possibility... that he is actually not suitable to be a warrior at all?"

Hearing this, Rhine's eyes lit up.

But Favna said firmly: "It's impossible, because he is Rhine. Rhine Dragon Flame - the son of the hero who inherited the inheritance of Heleqin. I used my liver to lay the foundation for him, and used my spine to lay the foundation for him. Forge weapons and armor him with scales.

"Heleqin once said that he would make Rhine the strongest warrior in the world. The name Rhine was given by Heleqin before he left.

"I once thought that this oath would never be fulfilled...but luckily I have you. Thank you, Aiwass. If the 'warrior' cannot return, then Rhine will never be able to become the 'strongest warrior'.

"Now, I am a fifth-level warrior, the strongest warrior in the world. There should be no one in the world more suitable to teach another warrior than me - and similarly, as long as he surpasses me, that is the most powerful warrior. powerful."

With that said, Favna stretched out her hand to pull Rhine back.

She was about to walk to the left when she suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Aiwass..."

Favna was about to say something, but gave up after looking at them: "Forget it, it's none of your business."

So she shook her head, looked at Siegfried aside, and said, "Remember not to drink, Siegfried. It's the same for all three of you."

"Why?"

Siegfried asked subconsciously, realizing the difference between the three of them and the three of Aiwass - they were all elves.

He was very smart, so he immediately guessed what Favna wanted to say: "Tears of Time?"

He was a little unbelievable: "Have you still not found the part of the Tears of Time that Loki stole?"

"Even if they are controlled fires, they are still devout candle believers and practitioners of the way of devotion. For their purpose, they can even dedicate their own lives... With this kind of purity, it is impossible to pass through the gods. Techniques to lock them in.”

Favna shook her head helplessly: "The good news is that we probably know... that the other party will use [Tears of Time] to assassinate Gray. After all, there are so many of us here, no matter how bold the assassin is, it will never be possible. Assassination in person. So, just in case...it's best not to touch anything that might come into your mouth."

“…could such chaos really occur during a papal succession ceremony?”

Aiwass frowned.

Siegfried shook his head: "Probably only the Silver Crowned Dragon and the Sand Clock don't want trouble. Whether it's the Lord of Scales and Feathers, the Twin Mirrors or the Snake Father, they all like to have something unexpected happen. Extra surprise.

"But Weizhe, Hu Hu, Heng Wo and Si Zhu probably won't care."

"...Does Si Zhu not care?"

Isabel on the side was a little surprised.

As an Avalonian, she has become accustomed to the idea that the Candlestick and the Silver Crowned Dragon are the most just gods.

Favna nodded: "Sizhu's nickname is 'Father of Light'. He gently affirms and encourages all 'altruistic' actions...

"Anyway, be careful."

She complained: "The magic mirror cannot be used now, and we cannot control the whole situation at all. If only Loki was here..."

"Controlled Fire is led by Loki."

Siegfried reminded.

The two cardinals each sighed, shook their heads worriedly, and walked back to their positions.

Aiwass looked at the wine in the glass, shook his head, raised it and drank it in one gulp.

The problem of Little Rhine still needs to be solved. That child felt almost broken when he looked at it...

Aiwass thought.

But Favna was too stubborn...Aiwass knew that he would never be able to convince her. "The hero's last wish" is such a weighty thing that almost no one except himself can deny it.

——Let's wait until he can "conquer Heleqin, who is now the King of the Wild Hunt, into the Poké Ball", and then let him tell his wife in person.
