High Above Chapter 781

   "Cough..."

  Because he really felt that the atmosphere was slightly awkward, Isengard closed the book in his hand seriously.

He said seriously to the green-haired girl in front of him: "Hello. I am Isengard. Isengard Ellen. The third son of the Ellen family, a member of the exploration team of the Imperial Alchemy Association, and Ian Yinfeng A collaborator in alchemy and various aspects."

   "I thought, you're Ian's friend too?"

The blond boy's words were frank and sincere, and Anfa also raised his head. The beautiful elf girl frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, she replied in a rather pleasant voice: "Well... I am Anfa Jinder. I am indeed A friend of Ian... both a supporter of his domain and a collaborator."

"Is that so?" Isengard asked curiously: "You are also Ian's collaborator? I have never heard of your name before...I didn't expect that he actually knew a lady from the Jindeng family. I never heard him mention it."

   "No? It's not surprising." Anfa said without changing his face: "It should be because the cooperation time is relatively short, so Ian didn't have time to introduce me—but it's not too late now."

   "Speaking of which, Mr. Essengard, did you come to Canaan Moor this time for the exploration of the Xenomorph Research Institute?"

"yes."

  Nodding slightly, Isengard showed a dazed expression: "So, you are Ian's teammate who came here this time... the Dragon Blessing Sect?"

It's true that Isengard hadn't heard about Anfa's name before, but friends on the side of the Dragon Cult had heard this saying many times-but because the main topic was Xiou, Isengarde only knew Ian There is a group of people here, mainly real dragons, from mountain people to elves, there are such a group of people.

  And Anfa... Judging from the traces of dragon scales on the opponent's body, she should also be an elf with a certain amount of real dragon blood.

  —It seems that this Isengard is the supporter Ian often talks about.

  Anfa is also thoughtful. As the food provider during Xiahui's food disaster, she also knew that Ian also had food supply channels in the Quinol Plain. Besides, he also had a very staunch supporter in the imperial capital, but she didn't expect this supporter He was so young, and he didn't look a few months older than Ian.

  It seems that besides myself, there are other people who are quite optimistic about Ian... No, it is normal to be optimistic. How could someone not be optimistic about Ian?

   After a short self-introduction, the VIP room fell silent again. But soon, the silence was broken by an outside voice.

   "An-F"

  A cheering voice sounded, and then the door of the VIP room was pushed open.

  The red-haired dragon girl pushed open the door full of vigor, and saw the green-haired elf lady at a glance, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over cheering: "You are indeed here!"

   "Be quiet, Siou."

  The one who appeared behind the dragon girl was naturally Ian with a slightly helpless expression, but this time the attention of everyone in the VIP room was not on him...in a sense, it was also on him.

  Because Isengard and Anfa were shocked the moment they saw Xiou.

-Who are you? Why does it have Ian's face? !

  —and when did Ian have an extra sister? !

  But soon, as Xiou threw himself into Anfa's arms and pressed him firmly into the sofa, the elf came to his senses: "Xio? You... have a new look."

   "It's okay, at least it's not mine."

  As the last victim, Anfa also showed a helpless expression: "Okay, get up, my body is not strong..."

   Isengard looked at Ian, and his eyes signaled, 'This is your sister? ', and Ian winked, 'How could my sister have red hair? '.

   "How did you get on the airship of the Speaker of Yafoda?"

Ian sat next to Isengard. He was not surprised that Anfa was able to board the speaker's airship. After all, the Jindeng family is also the blood of ten kings, and there were several marriages between Yinmen and Jindeng's family in the previous generation. Even if there is any kinship relationship with Anfa, this information can be known by casually inquiring in Canaan Moore.

   "I was invited by the speaker when I set off from World Tree Capital."

Essengarde replied with a smile. He recalled the original situation: "At that time, there was an extremist attack on the road between World Tree Capital and Heiliu City, and many roads were interrupted. The speaker said that he could take me along the way. Cheng, then I will naturally not refuse."

   "Canaan Moore is a little more chaotic than expected." Ian nodded thoughtfully: "But where is it not chaotic?"

"Yes." Isengard felt the same: "Ian, you don't know that there have been a lot of monsters attacking villages and towns on Governor Bai Ji's side recently, and my teacher and I went to the field to investigate. It was found that the source quality environment changed... The source quality environment of the entire Terra has been slightly moving recently. Humans feel fine, but some sensitive monsters will have symptoms similar to our tinnitus and neuralgia, and they will become very Anxious."

   "Is that so?"

This is information that Ian did not know. He listened carefully, nodded and said: "After that, it seems that you need to tell me the information you observed in detail... Because of biological warfare in Nanling, most of the monsters are very I'm restless, so I can't observe anything."

   "Yeah." Isengard said seriously: "I originally planned to share it with you after the reunion."

  At this moment, Xiou also finished greeting Anfa, and the dragon girl mainly described to Anfa the taste of the elf pastries and dishes she ate along the way, spoke highly of the cooking skills of the elves, and expressed that she would like to eat them next time.

   "The cook on the Siren is actually just average. I really like it so much. When I go to the capital of the world tree, there will be the best elf dishes."

Anfa took care of Xiou. In the past, it was like a brother taking care of a younger brother, but now it is like a sister taking care of a younger sister. There is even a little kindness in the lowered eyes. To be honest, after knowing the ages of the two parties, Ian feels that for Xiou For Ou, Anfa can be called a mother of a young girl.

After solving Xiou, Anfa came to Ian, and she bowed down to apologize seriously: "I'm sorry, Ian... the reason why there was an accident on the Siren trip was because of my uncle. plan...fortunately you're fine."

   "It's not a big problem. Even without me, Master Gravey can handle it by himself."

  Ian waved his hand and didn't care: "Besides, I've already talked about this matter with Speaker Yafoda just now."

   "Speaking of this, Anfa, is this your body?"

  Early from the very beginning of knowing Anfa, Ian was a little strange—the Canaanite Moorish Dragon Cult specially escorted Qi Gangshi to only the first energy level? Regardless of whether the strength is enough to escort, the intelligence of this level can be touched at the first level. Doesn't this mean that the other party is a member of a big family?

  Since he is a member of a big family and has proved that he and Xiou are very familiar, it is very unreasonable to only have the first energy level in his twenties.

After knowing the existence of the prosthetic body, Ian vaguely understood that Anfa's true identity may also be related to the real dragon, at least an elf with a certain ability of the real dragon...he or he can freely change the prosthetic body to act exist.

   Even, the main body may be like Siou, for some reason it is difficult to act, or it cannot appear in front of the public.

   It is precisely because of this that she can become good pen pals with Xiou who has the same situation.

"Hmm..." Hearing Ian's question, the green-haired elf lady lowered her head, looked at her dexterous slender fingers, and couldn't help sighing: "No. My body is not so beautiful...Of course, Bixio was the first It's much better when it's serious.”

  Anfa shrugged: "But it's not a big problem, at least I can move. And the degree of freedom of the prosthetic body is much more than Xiou."

   "Compared to this, have you already talked with your uncle?"

"yes."

  Ian picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a pot of tea. Seeing that Anfa was still standing, he took the other's hand and sat down together: "Don't be so nervous, it's just a small matter, there's no need to keep apologizing."

"Eh? What about me?" Xiou sat on the sofa opposite, saw Isengarde and Anfa sitting on the left and right of Ian, and couldn't help but feel isolated, and immediately protested—the boy sighed, Stand up: "Then come and sit down, I'll do it standing up."

  Standing in front of his three friends, Ian recalled: "Speaker Yafoda, he is quite an interesting person."

   "Of course, it's also very troublesome."

  When Ian followed the golden candle holding the candle guard to the silver gate airship, the speaker of Yafoda was waiting at the entrance.

  Chairman Yafoda is a middle-aged elf with a majestic face and sharp eyes. His eyes reflect a silvery light, and there is an undeniable aura.

   But facing Ian, he was very kind and direct.

   "Little friend Ian, the 'thing' in the hands of Master Gravey has already arrived in your hands."

He opened his mouth and directly clicked on the fragments of the "Ladder of Life Tree". This really surprised Ian, but the boy quickly smiled and said: "After all, I am also a patrol knight, so I can help recover the lost imperial treasures." Materials are a matter of course.”

"In fact, I don't know the details of this matter, and I don't care much about it. Canaan Moore does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries." Speaker Yafoda calmly said: "Compared to this, your alchemy skills are the really important key... It seems that Master Gravey values ​​you very much, he is old, so he must respect the old man."

"It's absurd. Thank you for your tolerance, Speaker." Ian thanked him and said, "It's the reward you said, Speaker, I deserve it. The Siren's escape this time is entirely dependent on Captain Eldon and my traveling companion Xi Jinping." Miss Ou, I myself have only made a small contribution."

"It's too self-deprecating, little friend Ian." Chairman Yafoda smiled and said, "Without your help, the three-headed beast king would never leave easily without your help. Canaan Moore thank you for what you have done." Because, what you do in the future will continue to be promoted, so you might as well think about what rewards you want."

  "What do I need to do? There is no problem with the promotion, the main thing is the magnitude."

  Ian pondered: "And I also want to participate in the next exploration of the Institute of Alien Species, will it hinder?"

"of course not."

  The speaker laughed: "On the contrary, there are still great benefits. Speaking of which, as far as I know, you are the envoy of the dragon god, little friend Ian, that is to say, you have obtained the true inheritance of the real dragon, right?"

"Yes." Ian replied, and the speaker nodded: "That's right. Although it feels a little troublesome, I hope you can tell me this through this transmitter when you enter the third floor of the ruins. As long as Once this is done, it's easy to say anything.”

   "How could I say no?"

  The transmitter handed over by the Speaker of Yafoda was a strange white pen holder. It looks a bit like a spoon, the lower part is a white handle, and the upper part is a recessed metal semicircle, with a light blue gemstone inlaid inside as the source signal focuser, which is a relatively common alarm signaling device style.

  Ian took it, and the silver-blue light in his eyes flickered, and he nodded thoughtfully: "How many floors have you explored in the Canaan Moor exploration ruins? Do you still need joint exploration by exploration teams from various countries?"

   "It's a shame to say it, but it's actually stopping at the second floor."

Speaker Yafoda said: "From the second floor, the entire relic needs to pass certain conditions before it can go further. Age, strength and blood purity are all very strict, and there are even requirements for dragon blood... like us Although it is not impossible for strong people who do not meet the requirements to enter directly by brute force, this may cause damage to the ruins."

   "It is precisely because of this that countries strictly select the members of the exploration team, so that the Dragon Sect has the opportunity to cooperate."

   "I see, I see."

  Ian said clearly, he put away the transmitter: "It seems that the speaker has been preparing for a long time, and I will try my best to complete it."

   "It's really troublesome for you." Speaker Yafoda smiled from the bottom of his heart at this time.

  —Troublesome old man.

  This is Ian's true thoughts on Speaker Yafoda.

  The Canaan Moor speaker directly pointed out that Master Gravey was holding the "Ladder of Life Tree Fragment" from the very beginning, and indicated that he already knew that it was Ian who now held the key strange object fragment.

And after Ian threw out the excuse of "I am a member of the Patrol Knights" and said that he was for the empire's recovery, he pushed the boat along, implying that he would not take care of Master Gravey's affairs, nor would he shard the Ladder Life Tree Informed the empire about the relevant matters—it was like selling a favor to Ian, so that Ian could hold the tree of life fragments without any future troubles.

   At the same time, Speaker Yafoda did not hide that he was the one who arranged to attack Master Gravey, but since Ian saved the other party, he would not make a move. On the contrary, he is still willing to give Ian the so-called 'reward'.

  That's why Ian asked himself what he needed to do, because the other party obviously wanted to make a deal with him, and Ian felt that the only reason why he could make a deal with the other party was probably the actions in the Xenomorph Research Institute.

Facts have also proved that Ian's guess is correct. The Speaker of Yafoda needs Ian to use a transmitter to notify him when he reaches the third floor of the ruins... The other party obviously needs a secret channel to do something. A dragon worshiper from the empire who has nothing to do with him on the surface is the best candidate.

  Of course, it is not ruled out that the Speaker of Yafoda has seen Ian's specialness... But in general, the two parties have made a deal.

   In addition, the Speaker of Yafoda also revealed some information about the remains of the Xenomorph Research Institute.

  The research institute itself has multiple layers, and from the second layer onwards, explorers have been limited to 'conditions'... These conditions will be screened in terms of blood, age, and strength, and they are related to the blood of the real dragon.

  It sounds like there is no dragon's blood, and if the age exceeds a certain level, it is impossible to continue to explore in depth—so even if there is a strong leader leading the team, there may still be only a part of the exploration team that can enter the depths.

   This is not surprising. There are many mazes that have relevant exploration restrictions. The strong can ignore the rules, but if the maze is destroyed and the precious data is damaged, the loss outweighs the gain.

  As for why there are these restrictions, it may be the condition of the AI ​​of the research institute for the administrator of the relic, or it may be the requirement of the successor of the research institute before the death of the survivors in the pre-epoch period. In general, each has its own reasons.

   And Ian's age, strength and dragon blood must all meet the standards. If it is not possible, he still has authority. No one can have higher authority than him, and it is easy to cross the second floor.

The reason why Ian felt troublesome for Speaker Yafoda was because Ian realized that the white metal main material of the transmitter given to him by the other party was actually Mithril, and the internal parts were Silent Silver and Blazing Diamond. ...The value of this material exceeds tens of thousands of talers.

  That small transmitter is so rare, what can the signal sent by it do? Ian had a hard time imagining it, but he knew it was definitely a big deal.

  Unfortunately, he has been involved in this major event since he accepted Anfa's invitation to come to Canaan Moore, and he cannot be refused... In this case, it is better to get more benefits.

   "Is there anything special about me?"

Before bidding farewell to the speaker of Yafota, Ian finally asked this sentence, and the silver-haired elf speaker was silent for a while, then nodded seriously: "Of course. I am very glad that Anfa can meet you, then It's her luck."

   Ended the communication with the speaker of Yafoda, Ian walked aside to make peace with Xiou.

  The elf speaker stared at Ian's back, and a silver-white ring loomed in the center of his forehead.

  As the silver-white ring emerged, the image of Ian in Yafoda's vision began to change slowly.

   On the boy's left hand, a cyan crystalline dragon light and shadow visible to the naked eye emerged; on the boy's chest, a dragon's heart was pulsating... and Ian's eyes, and his whole body, faintly appeared like a fairy.

  The power of the ring of radiance rotates, and everything returns to its original state, presenting their original appearance from a perspective that transcends time and space.

  Dragon's Blood—Dragon's blood of absolute inconceivable purity. But that's not really important.

  In the eyes of Speaker Yafota, the Ian he saw was not something superficial like a dragon or a goblin at all.

  It was a group of...extremely twisted, constantly changing, constantly twisting and growing in the light...machinery.

   It cannot be traced back to the original image, but instead continues to show the "uncertain weapon" of the "future".

  This machine shows incredible power, and the divine power that no one can match is condensed in its body.

  —That's not a dragon.

  According to common sense, no one would regard those powerful and shining mechanical structures as dragons.

  However, Speaker Yafoda, who knows the truth about the real dragon and the image of the ancient real dragon before the third generation of the real dragon, understands from the bottom of his heart... that is the real 'dragon'.

"The power of the pinnacle, the weapon of the future... the core layer of the laboratory that needs a real dragon to open... I was thinking that it was impossible for anyone to meet this condition, but I didn't expect that there is such a long-standing real dragon on Terra. Blood…"

  The speaker murmured in his heart, but his expression was a little lonely: "This time it doesn't match the plan. But it doesn't matter, it's all a good thing."

  Stepping out, accompanied by layers of undulating rings, the figure of Speaker Yafoda appeared in the Flower Cage Hotel, the room of Master Gravey.

   "Senior."

  He said quite affectionately: "Long time no see."

   "Jaffa..."

  Hearing this voice, the old man who was flipping through his own research materials moved slightly, and said in a deep voice without looking back: "What are you here at this time? Are you not busy?"

   "Don't you want to know why I killed you?"

   "Hmph. Now I don't want to know."

   "You think." Yafoda nodded and said: "I don't want to kill you now, let's go back to the world tree capital and have a look. During the years you were away, Canaan Moore also had many new research results."

   "You should also take a look at the brand new path we found about the future of elves."

   Noticing that Master Gravey was still silent, Speaker Yavoda shook his head and said: "Even if it is for the sake of not overlapping future research and wasting energy in vain, you should go and have a look."

   "...Okay." Sighing heavily, Master Gravey put down his pen: "I have indeed been away from Canaan Moore for too long."

   "That's pretty much it."

Ian finished his recollection, and he basically recounted all the conversations between himself and the Speaker of Yafoda to his friends: "Anfa, did Canaan Moore conduct an exploration of the Alien Research Institute alone? It's just because the inside of the ruins The limited conditions cannot continue, so the Dragon Worshipers and major forces from all over Terra are invited to select qualified candidates to continue exploring, right?"

"Ok."

This was originally confidential information, but Anfa obviously had no intention of keeping it secret, and the green-haired elf nodded slightly: "Actually, the exploration of the Xenomorph Research Institute has already started...far earlier than we thought, it's just that the previous exploration At that time, I didn't expect that it was a relic of a pre-epoch civilization.”

   "Why exactly?"

Ian frowned slightly, what he didn't understand was this: "Canaan Moore's invitation to explore teams from various countries with great fanfare is essentially just to select qualified door openers, and all countries agree-it is just a large pre-epoch civilization relic It should not have such a great charm, at least not to play ruins exploration games with Canaan Moore... Even with the real dragon, it should not have such a great charm."

   "In the ruins, there are definitely treasures that we don't know about." Ian judged so.

   "This is exactly what I originally planned to tell you when you arrived at the World Tree Capital."

Anfa sighed, and the elf lady flicked her hair complicatedly: "It's a long story, but it's actually very simple—according to the analysis of the Canaan Moore Federation Alchemy Institute, there are living creatures in the Alien Research Institute except Besides the 'True Dragon', there is another extremely powerful life source response."

"This reaction was finally determined to be the 'source of dragon's blood'...a most precious strange thing that can only appear in the corpses of fallen true dragons at the fifth energy level full of active vitality...a strange thing that can almost bring people back from the dead .”

   "Simply put, it is the life extension of the fifth energy level."

   "The treasure that allows a fifth energy level powerhouse to revive the second life."
