Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

"So the Purity Ceremony is just a shackles. If you unlock it in other ways, you will become a fool?"

After communicating with the High Priest of Vaal, Imric roughly understood the effect of the purity ritual. The Priest of Vaal used a ritual to add a lock to the soul. This lock is the lowest layer, and the outer layer will be added. The Archmage of the Upper Flame Tower serves as a protective shell with primitive spells handed down from the Dragon Tamers.

The protective shell will filter out the consciousness of the outside world and ensure that the descendants of the Dragon Tamer are conscious. However, once the threshold reaches the upper limit, the protective shell will be broken. Finally, the lock is used as an insurance measure. This lock is used in conjunction with the passage of the legendary dragon horn. Used by the Hall of Fantasy.

Suddenly he thought of what happened when Ardaeus and Minasnir met him for the first time. Ardaeus did not doubt his identity as a time traveler. Could it be that the effect of the purity ritual to prevent outside consciousness from entering was still on him at that time?

But Minas Nil discovered that it might be the blessing of the dragon. Imric thought of the process of holding the purity ceremony. First, the heir would receive the blessing of the dragon to ensure strong combat power and resonance with the dragon. The feeling will be stronger, and then it will be sent to the Vaal Temple to receive the ceremony.

"It should be that because the dragon blessing of the soul disappeared, Minas Nir was able to detect my changes, but the effect of the purity ritual did not disappear, so Ardaeus did not notice it."

Then a strange place appears. Could it be that the purity ritual uses a certain part of the body as the casting point, and it will disappear after it is removed.

This makes Imrik think of the pineal gland mentioned by Descartes. The philosophical person believes that there is an organ in the human body that allows the soul to control the movement of the body. Maybe there is something similar in the pointed-eared thing. After all, Osu An cultural tradition is dualistic, and maybe the physical body is also the same.

For a moment, I didn't understand what was going on, and then I thought about the purity ceremony.

The Vaal Temple and the Flame Tower only know how to perform this ritual, but they don't know how to unravel it, and they don't have a test subject. The dragon tamer family only has five people at the most, and no one dares to use these people as test subjects. Once an unexpected situation occurs, it will have a huge impact on the Dragon Palace, Vaal Temple, and Flame Tower.

In addition, no one knew about the ancient covenant, and the dragon horn was also lost, which directly put Caledor into a state of ruin, and the problem of the sleeping dragon could not be effectively solved.

After understanding the ancient covenant from Dragon Sleep Temple, I wanted to make some adjustments to the covenant so that others could start to transform into dragons, but it seemed that this idea was not feasible.

If a purity ceremony is held for other people, although the consciousness will be guaranteed, the effect of dragon transformation is not obvious, except that the body will be stronger, and there will also be a disadvantage, that is, the probability of fertility will be greatly reduced.

It's not like the Dragon Tamer family hasn't thought about finding two people to open a harem specifically to breed horses and reproduce offspring, but the effect is extremely insignificant. The previous mainstream view was that because of their noble blood, those people were not worthy of conceiving the children of the Dragon Tamer family.

Imric thought it was nonsense at first, but after understanding the ancient covenant, he found that it really meant something. In addition, Asur, as an immortal species, has a low fertility rate, and now he is the only one left in the family. , the dragon tamer really buried a big hole for the family.

Resisting the urge to complain, since the problem of dragon transformation cannot be solved for the time being, let's let those dragon princes fight on horseback honestly, and wait until they complete the dragon lord ceremony and get the dragon horn before riding the dragon.

After thinking clearly, he looked at High Priest Val in front of him and spoke.

"There is no way to solve the problem of dragon transformation. Let's put it aside for now and talk about the recent situation of Vaal's Anvil."

High Priest Val nodded and said he understood. Dragon transformation is the highest-level secret of Caledor. It is about the succession of the dragon lord. Even he only found out about it after inheriting the position of high priest. It is not a simple matter to solve the problem of dragon transformation. An easy thing.

"In this month, we have accumulated 3,400 pieces of standard equipment. The enchantments use standard enchantment effects. Two-thirds of the equipment has been completed. It is expected that it will take some time to complete the enchantment."

Standard equipment is armaments made of steel plus a portion of Ysrama silver. After Tyron Locke and Yris delivered the batch of Ysrama silver, the resources have also been well supplemented. Imric has ordered Taking those old old-fashioned equipment to Vaal Anvil and re-smelting them, the effect is not necessarily good.

These equipments represent the honors obtained by the ancestors of the family in the past. Each retired soldier will receive a piece of equipment and retire with honor, and then the descendants will enshrine it as a symbol of the family. Unless they are forced to do so, these equipments will not be used. It sounds like It kind of sounds like a dwarf, but this is the reality of Caledor.

The quantity mentioned by the high priest was actually quite good, and it had been greatly improved compared to the previous production, so Imric nodded, expressed his appreciation, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The armament pressure caused by the expansion of the army has made the dragon The palace is also a little nervous, but the Vaal Anvil must forge everyone’s equipment as quickly as possible, and I will provide you with financial support.”

After finishing speaking, seeing the high priest nodding in agreement, Imrik thought of something.

That's the problem with the siege crossbow. The Eagle Claw Ballista has been in service in Asur's army for thousands of years and is very popular for its accuracy and lethality. However, I feel that this thing is a bit unsightly. The Tide of Dusk has been used for several consecutive years. Not a single hydra was killed, and then Druzi and Chaos were beaten. The proportion of giant beasts among them was not low.

So he asked, "Can the Val Church produce some powerful field ballistas, such as those placed on chariots and pulled by horses? The power should be three times greater than the Eagle Claw Ballista, and no shotgun mode is required."

After hearing this, the Vaal High Priest pondered for a while. The Eagle Claw Ballista was also produced in Vaal Anvil. After all, it is the largest arms manufacturing facility in Ulthuan. The Vaal Church is only responsible for making arrowheads, and the craftsmen on the periphery are The man who forged the ballistae.

"Our research on engineering is very shallow, and most of it still uses what we learned from the exchanges with the dwarves before the Longbeard War. Although the Eagle Claw Ballista has been improved for thousands of years, the overall framework still uses the same one as before. Something, there is a craftsman's workshop in Val's Anvil that specializes in manufacturing Eagle Claw Ballistas, you can go there and have a look."

There were only three people present, and they also had a high status in Caledor. High Priest Val bluntly explained the situation of the Eagle Claw Ballista. Everyone knows the true situation. In the course of thousands of years, the Asur civilization has excepted There has been some progress in the cultural fields such as art, but the war field is still the same as before, basically unchanged.

The Dragon Prince pointed his index finger at the table. Asul's engineering was largely in the field of architecture, and the brilliance of this architectural engineering was also due to the desire to show off. As long as the palace was built higher, bigger and wider, then The construction engineer will gain great fame.

But compared to dwarves, mechanical engineering is really a bit awkward, because it relies heavily on magic and dragons, and does not require powerful siege weapons to deal with giant beasts.

"I'll go take a look later. We lack some means to deal with the giant beasts. We can't let the giant dragons take risks to snipe the enemy's giant beasts."

The current Dragon Prince is very precious to the dragons under his command. He is the leader of the dragons in Caledor, and Minas Nir is his pendant. The death of one of them will be a huge damage to the tribe.

High Priest Ardaeus, who was sitting next to him, remained silent. His status was not low, but due to religious issues, he had never been able to integrate into Caledor's inner circle. This was due to changes in the situation, and he had not complained about anything. Man, since the Dragon Prince had let him know the core secret of Caledor, which is dragon transformation, he thought it was time to contribute more, so he spoke.

"Prince, are you interested in the Despair Burners of the Church of Ardaeus? If possible, I can allow some believers to receive training from the Despair Burners and let them enter your service."

Imrik, who was communicating with the High Priest of Vaal, was a little overjoyed when he heard this. The Burning Despairs were the Skitarii of Ardaeus. They were famous during the Chaos Invasion and had extremely strong combat capabilities, but their numbers were very small. The Dragon Prince is on the same level, or even a little higher. He is a two-handed hero holding a big ax and a heavy sword.

"Of course, Caledor needs everyone's strength."
