Steel steam and flame

Five days after Delya left the Borghese area, Cassia finally walked through the entire remaining cave network. I went to the nearest city and bought the corresponding materials to re-print those stone paintings. Unfortunately, the intersection of the central hall was completely blocked, and some of the most important stone paintings could not be completely rubbed, and only remained in Cassia's memory.

Cassie Hei drank the remaining seven jars of concentrated dragon blood during this period, and his scales turned pure black as expected, but the original delicateness now became a little rough. It doesn't seem like a regression, but rather a step forward in defensiveness. Cassia felt that this process was very similar to the different manifestations of her multiple transformations. The scales that pop out from the bones indeed change in such a direction.

With the completion of the scales, other characteristics of the young dragon's body have basically grown, and the body length has increased by about one meter in a short period of time. This is still the effect of insufficient food. When they return to the southern forest, Cassia expects the baby dragon to be about seven meters long before it stops. The four-sided thorns on the head also became more numerous, and the horny bodies on the limbs also changed from the original dark gray to completely pitch black. Except for the scales on its abdomen, which were slightly closer to gray-brown, the young dragon had completely moved closer to his name.

Becoming smarter, after all, the brain is also growing bigger. But it seemed to bring more trouble to Cassia. At this time, it seems certain that imitation is Cassie Hei's talent. There are no other dragons around him, and only Cassia is by his side, which makes this ability stronger in disguise. The young dragon can be regarded as a child who is good at learning. He is very interested in everything at this stage. As long as Cassia gives a little guidance, he can achieve good results in a short time.

When Cassia's black growth finished, Cassia did some tests on it. He experimented with some surgical development abilities that he was familiar with, but the young dragon was not born with these abilities, except for having a very terrifying foundation in strength, speed, and agility. As far as Cassia's most familiar hearing is concerned, the baby dragon's hearing is no better than Cassia's.

"Do you still need to learn?" Cassia looked at Cassie Hei who was grinding an iron block and thought, "Could it be that these things will strengthen as they grow, just like the surgical stage. But as far as dragons are concerned, If there is an opportunity for guidance, it will be a natural thing with time to gain some kind of touch or ability enhancement."

During the month of separation, Cassia clearly found that the strength and muscle strength of Cassia's hind limbs were much stronger than those of the forelimbs. Mimicking its own walking style, the young dragon is unconsciously changing some of its mechanism functions.

In the past few days, Cassia has also decided the future development path of the young dragon. But it’s more of a learning direction than development. Without other dragons as teachers, Cassia no longer holds the fantasy that Cassia will look like a primitive dragon when he grows up. There will definitely be some human characteristics, especially in future actions and thinking.

Looking at Cassia Hei who was concentrating on sharpening the iron block, Cassia didn't know whether the decision was good or bad, but when the young dragon faced other dragons later on, he at least had his own advantages. They will use things other than sharp teeth, claws and tails as means of attack, just like humans rely on various steam-powered machines to resist nature.

But Cassia knew that there was a lot of comfort in this idea. Recalling the huge dragon seen in the Brino area, artillery and acidic platinum bullets had no effect at all. The basic foundation it possesses is enough to use it. To surpass these almost instinctive attack methods in other aspects requires accumulation and time.

Feeling Cassia's gaze, Cassia turned his head and looked back, then turned to look at the huge iron block he was holding. This is a part of the airship wreckage dug out from the solidified lava. It is made of very good quality hard alloy. Cassia used the pneumatic sword to cut out a piece of the giant sword for Cassia to use.

A new toy was found, and the original stone tactical knife was abandoned by Cassie Black. I really like this kind of stuff, so I have to polish it smooth. This state has lasted for almost a day. Every once in a while, the young dragon will stop and look at the sword-shaped iron block in his hand, and then look at Cassia, and then slightly change the angle of the scales on its side, as the roughness is different. Use the polishing pad and continue rubbing it on the scales.

So it wasn't just the giant sword that became smooth, the scales on Cassie Hei's side were also being polished to look better.

Not in a hurry to go back, Cassia let the young dragon consume time. During this period, he was practicing swordsmanship using the second-generation holy sword. Controlling the half-ton holy sword to carry out precise attacks required the cooperation of many aspects of the body, and the effect after training was also very obvious. With the sharpness and material of the second-generation holy sword, the strength meets the requirements and it can easily cut through the fallen scales of the young dragon. When used, the holy sword itself will not emit high temperatures like a pneumatic weapon, and can avoid detection by temperature sensing during hiding and assassination.

During the break, I held the second-generation time and observed it carefully, and accidentally discovered the screw cap with tight seams on the handle. After opening it, I found that the hilt was hollow, with just enough space for a circular cylinder.

"The operating principle is similar to that of pneumatic weapons?" The space inside the sword hilt is nothing more than prepared for the silver cylinder in the silver box. Cassia is not going to try it. This energy substance will produce extremely high temperatures when fully excited, and he knows it well. It seems that even after the heat-resistant surgical development of the arm is completed, it cannot resist it, and it may also carry a very high concentration of "germs" white light. Cassia currently has no means of effectively defending against both.

"Perhaps this is why there are so few such weapons. On the one hand, making them requires top-notch technology, equipment, and raw materials. Except for Avalon, perhaps no other institution in the empire has this capability. On the other hand, It may also be a restriction based on their use. Just like pneumatic weapons, they need to make breakthroughs in surgery and reach a certain limit. And it doesn't mean you are qualified to use them if you meet the standards, it seems." Cassia thought about the reason, The only sacred equipment in the empire is the holy sword and the holy spear, which have always been kept by the Avalon Agency. Most of the top forces of each force use imitations of them, or other types of weapons made based on the analyzed principles.

As far as Cassia knows, in the past ten years or so in the empire, only a replica of the Holy Lance has been used in the Visaya Fortress incident, and only one person has used it.

"There are many connections between Visayas Fortress and it. I have also transported dozens of their cargo boxes. It is not a pleasant memory, but it is precisely because of it that I am indirectly allowed to stay here to accompany them now. With a dragon that doesn’t look very much like a dragon.” Cassia sighed and looked at the Holy Sword again.

"Then what will be the usage limit?" Continuing his previous thinking, Cassia sat upright and looked at the volcano in front of him where the lava condensed like a swollen blood vessel attached to it.

"Bioelectric induction force field?" After searching in his head, only this word was left. "It has never appeared in the theoretical knowledge of the military school, and it has not been mentioned even once by coaches Ye Jielin and Beili. It does not mean that they do not I know, it may be because this kind of thing is still too far away for us. Sucarius’s words have no further reference, but he specifically reminded this at the beginning, and it was not just a casual comment..."

The young dragon roared with joy, then "walked" to Cassia, and inserted the smoothed giant sword at his feet with a "clang" sound, like a child showing off his precious toy to an adult.

His thoughts disconnected, Cassia wiped her face and stood up.
