Chapter 855 The Solution to the Dragon Soul Curse

Metal Dragon Island, in the lair of the golden dragon Joachim.
"Please instruct me, Your Excellency Joachim."

Li Si looked at the golden dragon in front of him and asked.

He had no doubt that the golden dragon in front of him would deceive him, and he certainly didn't intend to take any benefits for nothing.

This is also a mutually beneficial transaction.

"It's a simple thing."

Joachim glanced at Lis and said with a smile:

"The first thing I'll do is help you break this red dragon curse."

"This curse is troublesome, but I can still get rid of it."

"However, this will require a lot of my effort, so..."

At this point, Joachim's face showed a human-like smile, and he raised his dragon claw and rubbed it towards Li Si.

Li Si understood immediately and said with a smile:

"Of course, if you can help me solve this problem, I think I can bear the consequences."

"Haha, that's good!"

Joachim nodded with satisfaction and said:

"You were originally Stephens's disciple, so of course I should take care of my old friend's disciple."

Joachim was very knowledgeable about Lis's intelligence.

After all, the dragon race, with its long history, is quite clear about the significance of this World Tree's chosen one.

Moreover, Li Si's territory is located around the Pearl Sea where Dragon Island is situated, and there is a floating city floating in the sky there.

As the leader of Dragon Island, Joachim couldn't help but pay attention.

Given Li Si's wealth, even he would be envious of the good things he brought out.

After all, the Metal Dragons are different from the Five-Colored Dragons. Their faction and self-imposed limitations prevent them from accumulating wealth through plunder.

Generally speaking, metal dragons make their fortune by managing their territories, crafting magical items as a secondary profession, accepting employment from humans, and robbing the five-colored dragons!
Therefore, even Joachim, the leader of Dragon Island, would not miss the opportunity to legitimately make a fortune from Li Si.

However, Li Si didn't care about this.

With the release of the 3.0 main storyline and the appearance of the [Philips Crystal], he can now truly be described as having nothing but money.

After all, having completely occupied a location of the [Philips Crystal], and having managed it to become the safest of the three [Philips Crystal] locations on the continent of Fanor, the Lis territory undoubtedly attracts the most adventurers and extraordinary forces.

Whether it was the taxes Li Si collected or the various affairs managed in Danluo Port, they all brought Li Si considerable returns.

As for whether anyone will rebel against Li Si?
Just kidding, no one would dare to build such a huge floating city as Kane in the sky.

Moreover, the taxes levied by Li Si were not high, and he also provided protection in various aspects, so neither adventurers nor extraordinary forces had any objections.

Therefore, aside from covering the maintenance costs of Kane's floating city and the expenses for arcane research, Li Si felt that feeding these dragons was not a problem.

Joachim was in high spirits and then said to Lis:
"The second method is actually quite simple; it requires you to rely on your own strength to break the red dragon curse."

After a brief pause, noticing that Li Si seemed unsurprised, Joachim continued:

"Having competed with the five-colored dragons for so long, our metal dragon race naturally has a lot of knowledge about them, and we have dragon language magic specifically designed to counter this kind of curse."

"With your abilities, Li Si, it won't take you long to master that kind of dragon language magic."

"That would also be quite beneficial to you."

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Li Si, though somewhat expecting it, was still quite surprised.

Judging from Joachim's tone, it seems he's willing to let him learn dragon language magic on his own initiative.

Previously, Professor Stephens had come to this Metal Dragon Island specifically to learn dragon language magic.

However, he also clashed with the dragons on Dragon Island, and eventually persuaded them through physical means.

Li Si did not choose to seek help from the elves or the Church of Dawn, but instead came to this Dragon Island, partly because of this intention.

However, Li Si did not expect to have the opportunity to directly learn dragon language magic like his teacher Stephens.

After all, he didn't have the strength to single-handedly conquer Dragon Island.

If they bring Kane's floating city over, it will be a fight to the death.

Li Si didn't want things to turn out that way. If Dragon Island, their neighbor, could become an ally, that would be the best possible outcome.

Originally, he intended to gradually explore dragon language magic through his relationship with Ludwig while resolving the Red Dragon Curse.

However, if Joachim, the leader of Dragon Island, agrees to let Lis learn dragon language magic, that would be the best thing.

"Then I'll choose the second method."

Li Si went directly to the local area and spoke to Joachim.

Li Si naturally couldn't miss such a good opportunity.

"no problem."

Joachim nodded in satisfaction.

How could he not know Li Si's current situation?

To be honest, for a proud race like dragons, it's rare to make such a deal with other people.

Not to mention actively teaching others dragon language magic.

However, neither Stephens nor Liss were ordinary people.

Joachim felt itchy and a little traumatized when he recalled the scene when Stephens came to Dragon Island alone to challenge several dragon kings.

While Li Si's current strength is not yet as great as his teacher Stephens, as a World Tree's chosen one, if he can grow stronger, he will undoubtedly become a terrifying existence in the future.

The dragon race is no longer the most glorious it once was.

Even the most arrogant Joachim the Golden Dragon, when faced with such a situation, would choose to curry favor with Li Si and make some connections.

Of course, more importantly, Li Si's teacher, Stephens, had studied dragon language magic.

Since he's already learned it, learning one or two is the same as learning one, so it doesn't matter!

Even if Li Si isn't allowed to study on Dragon Island, he can still go to Stephens to learn dragon language magic; there's no difference.

Instead of currying favor with Li Si, Dragon Island could also gain some benefits.

With this in mind, Joachim did not hesitate.

His aura suddenly changed, and his whole body shone with an extremely dazzling golden light.

The light, like a small sun, illuminated the entire cave as if it were daytime.

The golden dragon lowered its head slightly, and a golden scale on its chest began to tremble faintly, as if drawn by some mysterious force.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon scale slowly fell off, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and flew straight to the golden dragon.

The golden dragon gently raised its majestic right claw and touched the dragon scale in the air.

In an instant, countless intricate and difficult-to-discern patterns flashed across the dragon scales. These patterns, like ancient runes, contained endless mysteries, each seemingly telling a story of an unknown history.

The light flowed between the patterns, as if a mysterious power was surging within them.

However, this strange light did not last long. As the golden dragon moved its right claw, the shimmering patterns gradually calmed down, and the dragon scales returned to their original simple appearance.

Then, it slowly fell from mid-air, like a light golden feather.

The dragon scale fell into Li Si's hand, and the information it contained flooded into his mind. From low-level [Dragon Claw] and [Dragon Breath], to mid-level [Dragon Scale Shield] and [Dragon Wing Protection], to high-level [Dragon Soul Possession] and [Dragon Contract], a series of related introductions and knowledge about spells appeared in Li Si's mind.

This shows that Joachim did not keep anything to himself.

He gave Li Si genuine dragon language magic, not those dubious spells.

Moreover, Li Si noticed that a significant portion of the content on this dragon scale was an introduction to a spell exclusive to the dragon race.

That is the [Dragon Soul Curse]!
According to the description, this is the basis for the legendary red dragon's ability to curse Rune, except that it is mixed with a higher-level power.

Although Li Si cannot use this spell, by analyzing it, he can gradually crack the core of the curse and break it with his own power.

To master this spell, Li Si must begin by learning the most basic dragon language magic.

This aligns with Li Si's thinking.

Judging from the information recorded on this dragon scale, dragon language magic is more rudimentary in its spell model and more brutal in its use of magic power compared to common spells.

The main feature is a powerful brick flying!
No wonder ordinary mages can't use dragon language magic.

The magic power guided by dragon language alone is enough to crush the fragile bodies of mages.

However, this had no impact on Li Si.

To be honest, Li Si's body is probably stronger than that of a dragon of the same level.

"Thank you for your generosity!"

Li Si put away Joachim's dragon scales and gently placed a spatial ring on the gold coin in front of him.

Joachim saw Li Si's actions, his eyes lit up slightly, and he raised his dragon head to say to Li Si:
"I've taught you all the relevant knowledge. I believe that with your intelligence, it won't be difficult for you to master it."

"If you have any other questions, you can ask Ludwig."

"Your Excellency Joachim, I have another request."

Seeing this, Li Si smiled and said:

"I have some research that I want to conduct on Dragon Island, and I may need the help of some dragons."

"I promise to pay reasonable compensation and will not harm them or damage the environment of Dragon Island. I wonder if I could get your permission?"

"no problem."

Joachim thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

He was not surprised by Li Si's request.

After all, dragons are quite valuable research subjects for mages.

Although being used as a research subject made Long somewhat unhappy, it was a different matter if there was compensation.

What's more, this is Dragon Island!
Joachim was not worried that Lis would do anything outrageous.

Even if it were an incarnation of a god, it wouldn't be able to do whatever it wanted here!

"With my dragon scale, there won't be any problems."

Joachim said to Lis.

"Thank you, Lord Joachim."

"Then I won't disturb you."

Li Si nodded and left the dragon's lair.

After confirming that Li Si had left, Joachim carefully picked up the spatial ring that had been placed on the gold coins.

Upon opening the ring, a flurry of gold coins, various magical gems, and magical metals knocked Joachim unconscious, leaving him happily sprawled on an extra little hill.

After leaving Joachim's dragon lair, Li Si did not delay and went directly to the address left by Ludwig to find the golden dragon enjoying a meal.

"So fast?"

Ludwig looked at Liss with some surprise, then frowned.

"Even your father can't figure out what's wrong with you?"

Ludwig could sense that the aura emanating from Li Si had not disappeared.

"No, Lord Joachim gave me another way, which is more beneficial to me."

Li Si shook his head and said.

"Oh, that's fine."

Ludwig nodded.

As long as there are no problems, that's fine. After all, he brought Li Si to Dragon Island and gave his guarantee.

He would feel somewhat embarrassed if he couldn't resolve the issue.

After glancing at Ludwig, Li Si suddenly smiled and said:

"I need your help with something."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you suffer any losses!"

"whats the matter?"

Looking at Li Si's appearance, Ludwig suddenly felt a chill for some reason, as if he were being watched by something.

The grilled meat in my hand doesn't even smell good anymore.

"Don't worry, we're best buddies, would I lie to you?"

Li Si patted Ludwig on the shoulder and said with a smile.

The once peaceful and tranquil Dragon Island, like a paradise forgotten by time, was shattered by a sudden burst of activity.

A vibrant golden dragon, flapping its broad and powerful golden wings, rampaged across Dragon Island.

Although its face was somewhat pale, its bright eyes shone with excitement, as if it had discovered something incredibly wonderful.

As soon as it sees any dragon, it rushes towards it like an arrow, enthusiastically pulling and tugging at it with its not-so-gentle claws, while constantly uttering polite words, as if it is desperately trying to sell something.

Many of the metal dragons were bewildered by its enthusiasm and looked at it with curious and puzzled eyes.

Following the busy figure of Jinlong, a peculiar scene was unfolding on the soft, golden sandy beach of Dragon Island.

Many metal dragons formed a long line: gold dragons, silver dragons, bronze dragons, and brass dragons.
They all looked ahead with great interest, their eyes filled with anticipation, as if some incredibly precious treasure awaited them.

At the very front of the procession stood Li Si, holding a huge metal syringe in his hand. The syringe gleamed coldly in the sunlight, as if it were a mysterious artifact from ancient times.

At this moment, he was completely focused on his work, slowly inserting the syringe into the body of a silver dragon.

The silver dragon frowned slightly, but did not resist; it simply waited quietly.

As the syringe was inserted deeper, strands of silvery dragon blood slowly flowed out and gathered in a container next to it.

The dragon blood emitted a faint glow, as if it contained a mysterious power.

Li Si's movements were very skillful, and in no time, the work of extracting dragon blood was completed.

He carefully pulled out the syringe, then gently wiped the wounds on the silver dragon's body with a clean cloth.

After finishing, Li Si revealed a generous smile and took out a handful of dazzling gems from his pocket.

These gems vary in size and color, and shimmer with a captivating brilliance in the sunlight.

He handed the gem to the silver dragon and said:
"This is the reward you deserve."
