The mage arrives

"Stop absorbing! Stop absorbing!"

Gordon repeated the order twice in succession.

"Understood, stop absorbing."

This time, the system voice finally returned to the usual indifferent and calm electronic voice without a trace of emotion.

The burning sensation in the palm gradually disappeared, and that strange drop of blood rose from the skin again, congealing into a blood bead.

Gordon let out a long breath.It is not a good thing to let such unknown things enter one's body.Keeping everything in a knowable state and putting it under one's own control is the quality that a mage should have.

He rummaged through the dimensional bag, took out a thumb-high small glass bottle, put the drop of blood of unknown origin into it, and sealed it.

After doing all this, he let out a sigh of relief.It seems that this thing can only be put aside for the time being, and I will look up the data and research carefully later when I have time.

Immediately afterwards, Gordon also took Longo's ring out of the dimension bag.

The light gold ring of this ring is painted with light and simple patterns. If you look closely, you will find that it is a gear-shaped pattern, which is similar to the style of the Olanya necklace that Gordon got from Xiona.The ring was not inlaid with gemstones, and the shape was very simple, but apart from that, Gordon didn't research anything useful.

He could only put the ring on his hand casually and let this matter go.After all, the resources around me are limited now, and when we encounter doubts, we can't even search for information.When I return to Clearwater City in the future, whether it is the Mage Guild or Grand Duke Robert, there are rich collections of books, and I may be able to find the answers I want.

Then, Gordon sorted out all the potions, scrolls, and alchemy materials in the dimension bag, then lay on the bed and began to meditate.

Consciousness keeps shuttling through the magic net.Roaming in the ocean of origin energy until he experienced the uncomfortable feeling of his head floating after his mental power was exhausted again.After resting for a while, he turned off the white magic light source.The Leomeng Sanctuary, which was separated by a magic barrier and could block external light, immediately fell into darkness...

In the endless void of darkness, Gordon suddenly saw a spot of light, which was constantly growing and getting bigger.

The white spot of light gradually revealed its outline, and it turned out to be a flying bird.

A jewel crow.

Its emerald eyes looked straight at Gordon.It exudes a faint light, as if it can penetrate people's hearts.

"quack!"

The jewel crow chirped.The voice was not rough and unpleasant like ordinary crows, but rather sweet. Gordon felt like a believer standing at the foot of the mountain waiting to worship, and suddenly heard it from the temple on the top of the mountain.There was a distant and vigorous bell ringing.

The cry of the jewel crow spreads out like a hammer.Give the pitch-black void a clang.Completely crushed.

Gordon's eyes lit up, and he realized that he was already in a city.

Isn't he sleeping in Li Omeng's shelter?Could this be in a dream?

With the experience of being attacked by a mirror soul beast in the Danzig ruins last time, Gordon was more calm this time.He opened the eyes of truth and warning, and the amber light in his pupils bloomed brilliantly, discerning all illusions.

really.Everything here is an illusion.

The architectural style of this city is completely different from the current one. The materials are mostly white marble, and the steps and stone pillars are widely used.The dragon wings, dragon head, and dragon tail are used as decorations, which are almost ubiquitous.

The citizens on the street were all wearing loose and light robes of various colors, and light linen sandals on their feet.Some of them were chatting, some were bargaining with hawkers, and some were hurrying on their way.It is almost indistinguishable from the market ecology of any ordinary Freyton city today.

But Gordon still noticed some details.

These citizens made up of phantoms, no matter how tall, short, fat or thin, men, women, young or old, regardless of eye color and hair color, their skins all glowed with a faint luster under the sunlight.

He walked in and took a closer look, and found that the bodies of these citizens were covered with an extremely thin layer of scales that were easily overlooked by the naked eye.

lizard Man?

No, they don't have tails.

Then there is only one possibility.These people are Dragonborn.This is a city founded entirely by dragonborn.

At this moment, a terrifying roar came from the thick golden cloud above the head because of the sun's rays.Thousands of flames pierced through the clouds and fell into the city.

There was burning and explosions everywhere, and the crowd screamed and fled in all directions, as if the end was coming.

But the danger is not over.A huge black figure broke through the already fragmented clouds first, descending on the sky above the entire city.

This is a huge black dragon that has never been seen before. Gordon infers from its size that it is at least a powerful dragon of the ancient level.

The black dragon flapped its wings lightly, and the strong wind whipped up made the fire in the city more intense.Its dark eyes like eternal night stared coldly at the fleeing crowd below, like looking down at a group of ants.

Behind it, countless powerful and terrifying figures descended from the clouds.

Black dragon, red dragon, blue dragon, green dragon, white dragon...

Five-colored dragon clan, serving the evil dragons of Tiamat.

However, the city that suffered the terrible attack, although already in a state of semi-destruction, still launched a strong counterattack.

Countless huge wings with a metallic luster spread out in all directions.Giant dragons continued to soar into the sky, and the number gathered more and more, and finally confronted the other invading dragons.

Among the giant dragons protecting the city, the most powerful and conspicuous one is a noble and powerful golden dragon with countless fleshy whiskers growing from its lower jaw.It is as big as the leading black dragon on the opposite side, and it also belongs to the level above the ancient times.

Gold dragon, silver dragon, bronze dragon, brass dragon, red copper dragon...

The metal dragon clan who believed in the platinum dragon god Bahamut also gathered together to fight to the death against the evil invaders and defend the city.

The war has begun.

Colorful dragon breath pierces the sky, and countless powerful bodies are entangled, bitten, and collided with each other... Even if you close your eyes and cover your ears, and don't watch the epic battle, it's just the dragon clan exuded by the dragons. The coercion is enough to make people's feet tremble and they can't help themselves.

The scene of tens of thousands of giant dragons gathering together to fight each other at the same time was so spectacular that Gordon couldn't hold his tongue from ear to ear.Even though he knew it was just an illusion, his mouth was dry and his heart was surging.

"Young man, do you know what is happening in front of you?"

Suddenly, the roar of the dragon, the cries of the citizens, and the loud noise of houses collapsing all disappeared.It's like watching a movie full of light and shadow special effects, and someone suddenly turns off the volume.

And next to Gordon's ear, came an old voice.

Gordon was no stranger to this voice.When he entered the ancient road for the first time and got the gem Crow Quack, he had heard of it.He had heard it, too, the morning he rested in the hunting camp surrounded by demons.And now, it's the third time.

He looked behind him and found an old man smiling and nodding to himself.

He is wearing a unique style of ancient mage robes that can only be found in the book "Historical Changes of Mage Robes". He is holding a silver staff. His long hair that hangs to both sides and the flowing beard under his jaw are all snow white. s color.

"Master Cyprus Ding?" Gordon couldn't help blurting out when he saw that the other person's face was exactly the same as the long-disappeared body sculpture in the crystal cave.

"It's me." The old man nodded.

"I didn't expect that the soul of the legendary archmage 900 years ago would suddenly appear in my dream." Gordon said.

Of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to think that Archmage Cyprus was still alive.

After the death of an intelligent creature, the soul will either enter the kingdom of God, or fall into the abyss, or even be built into the wall of the unbelievers.This is the basic rule by which the multiverse operates.If you still want to stay in the main material world, you have to use some special methods to fight against the power of rules.

A powerful spell can do it.Reminiscent of the disappeared statue of Archmage Cyprus in the Crystal Cave, Gordon basically guessed the ins and outs of the matter.

The incorporeal old mage in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of explaining to Gordon. Perhaps he believed in Gordon's IQ very much, and felt that there was no need to explain such "trivial things" as his own background.

He was like a grandfather who was sitting around the fireplace in winter, telling his grandson legends and stories, and said in a slow and delicate tone: "Young man, what you see now is the second era, Arkhosia The trigger for the collapse of the Dragonborn Empire due to the civil war - the fall of the White City."

Gordon couldn't help recalling the knowledge recorded in history books.

Chaos Era: The Age of Creation.The gods fought a protracted battle with the old ruler born from the primordial power of chaos.In the end, the gods won, and the structure of the entire multiverse stabilized.

The First Age: The Age of Savagery.The energy left over from the Creation War creates earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes every moment.Ancient giant beasts are rampant in the world.The flame of civilization and wisdom is crumbling in the strong wind, but it is gradually spreading.

The Second Age: The Age of the Dragons.Blessed by the gods, the giant dragon possesses long life, high wisdom, tyrannical desire, and great strength. This race that combines almost all the advantages of life has ruled the sky and the earth, and has produced countless offspring with other races.This special species is the Dragonborn.

The Third Age: The Age of Magic.The dragon has long since disappeared into the world.The masters of the world of Telos have become sun elves and humans who have mastered the mysteries of magic.The Sun Elf Empire and the Netherdulan Magic Empire successively ruled the first half and the second half of this era.These two intelligent and energetic races have almost built a complete magic system that is still in use today.

Genesis and the Barbarian Period are too far away from now, and it was an age when civilization was not flourishing. Today, there are only a few words and various legends that are unclear.

What mages and scholars are most interested in is the third era, which is the closest to the present, and it is also the era when magic developed the fastest and spread the fastest. (To be continued..)
