National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

Although the reason why the authorities were willing to take Sita in wasn't entirely because of that statement—

"The Secret Techniques of the Naga Race"

But who wouldn't like a win-win situation?

Seemingly uncomfortable with being encouraged and looked at by so many people, Siddhartha's face flushed slightly, but she still explained fluently:

"It utilizes [runes] and incantations."

Ren Yi's eyebrows twitched slightly as he recalled the green symbols that flowed across the Naga warriors' bodies, making them invulnerable to swords and spears, during his battles with them.

Klaus clearly thought the same thing.

"Is this all?"

He immediately took out the symbols he had previously made and showed them to Seddar.

"...More or less."

She reached out and pushed the paper back from Klaus's hand, pointing to the [rune] that Renyi had taken from the system repository.

"For the Naga, this thing is for 'eating'."

"?"

Klaus instantly pictured the Arc Reactor embedded in Iron Man's chest.

What comes to mind are a host of medical cases of heavy metal poisoning and stomach perforation.

Look at the different expressions on the faces of the others.

Sita knew she'd have to explain again, "It's about... integrating the [runes] into the body. The Naga use arcane techniques to guide them, making them a part of the body..."

"Then, by combining it with corresponding symbols, like incantations, one can obtain the power one desires."

Speaking of it.

Her gaze fell upon the random raven, its light shimmering faintly:

"Humans couldn't fuse with [runes] like the Naga did..."

"But it suddenly occurred to me... people can't, but objects can!"

I understood everything.

It involves treating weapons or armor like a Naga, feeding them [runes], and then strengthening them with spells.

"But how does it 'eat' the runes? By socketing them? Socketing would disrupt its internal circulation!"

Klaus was still puzzled:

"Besides, even if you use runes to extend and lengthen it... it still breaks the physical structure..."

"wrong!"

Sita, a Naga who had just completed her metamorphosis, was also overwhelmed by the questions.

"It just needs to have the effect of 'getting longer,' it doesn't actually need to get longer!"

Unwilling to listen to the academic battle between materialistic warriors and idealistic mages, Renyi slammed the three [Runes] and the [Raven] onto the table.

"Enough talk, let's begin."

It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it achieves his goal, it's a good cat.

......

In the past, Klaus would create things with both sound and light effects.

But Sita's "casting" was eerily quiet.

A wooden basin, half-filled with water.

The conditions are so simple, it's practically no different from polishing eyeglass lenses.

Ivan and Aurora stared wide-eyed, ready to observe the 'spellcasting'; Ethan and Klaus each pulled out their notebooks and opened them, as if preparing to take notes.

Sita took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

First, with utmost reverence, he picked up the jet-black "Raven," murmured a few words, and then gently submerged it in the water.

Then, she picked up a [rune].

This rune is only the size of a coin, and looking at it for too long can cause a slight feeling of dizziness.

"Thump."

The rune also fell into the water and sank next to the dagger.

Then, Sita raised his hand, opened his mouth, and bit down hard on the web between his thumb and forefinger.

Bright red blood gushed out instantly.

"Tick-tock—tick-tock—"

Blood fell onto the water's surface.

As drops of blood fell into the water, they did not disperse, but instead, like rubies, fell directly to the bottom, landing on the rune and dagger.

The lifeless runes seemed to come alive, and the calm water seemed to boil—

"S...Sa...Rrr...Ke..."

Just like when he was preparing to escape the Naga territory on the Ganesha, Sita seemed to have entered that sleepwalking state again.

Pale lips moved rapidly, each syllable like a cold, creeping reptile crawling into your ear.

"What is she saying?"

Klaus asked the translator next to him in a low voice.

Without looking up, Ethan used a charcoal pencil to draw the scene of the 'spellcasting' in his notebook. "Something like a contract... something about taming, it's like classical Chinese, I can't remember it."

Before the words were even finished, something unexpected happened.

The basin of water, though boiling, was still very clear, and its surface shimmered with a faint green light.

It's that kind of ghastly green that has a poisonous feel to it!

The raven and the glowing runes floated lightly from the bottom of the basin to the surface of the water!

Sita's chanting grew more and more rapid, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his tail muscles tensed, as if he were under tremendous pressure.

"Hiss—"

She suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils shrinking into two vertical lines, and placed her hands on the basin.

The rune began to melt like a candle in flames, turning into a fluid that wrapped around the dagger beside it.

The raven's jet-black blade trembled, not obscured by the light, but rather as if...

eat.

The blinding green light instantly filled the entire room, and everyone instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes.

Arbitrarily, it also covered the eyes.

But he sensed a new power being born within the Raven, not a patchwork, but a grafting, a grafting of life.

Yes, that's quite scientific.

The light lasted for a full ten seconds before receding like a tide.

"Splash!"

The raven fell into the water again, splashing up a spray of water.

"Phew...it worked! Let's see the results!"

Only then did Sita show a bit of the liveliness that a little girl should have. She excitedly fished out the dagger, swayed her snake tail, and handed it to Renyi.

In terms of appearance... there seems to be no change.

However, the moment he got his hands on it, Renyi, as the owner, sensed something different.

If the raven of the past was newborn and naive...

But now.

Holding it is like holding a hibernating snake; there's a subtle sense of arrogance in it.

【Lv3 Raven (Symbiotic)】

[Trait 1: Healer. Stabbing any part of the body has a chance to turn it into a weak point, resulting in a critical hit.]

Feature 2: Camouflage. Can be disguised as a metal object of the same size.

[Trait 3: Bloodthirst. Gains one boost for every ten new species' blood consumed. Current consumption: 7/10.]

[New Feature: Snake Shadow (Active)]

[Serpent Shadow: Activates the incantation with the user's blood, allowing the sword to extend to two meters. (In its extended state, the sword possesses the characteristics of a flexible weapon.)]

[Evaluation: It has mastered the art of stretching and contracting, achieving a size that satisfies both its enemy and its master. PS: An obedient viper.]

Use his blood to activate?

Tsk.

Isn't this forcing him to expose himself?

Several excuses flashed through Ren Yi's mind in an instant, such as... the blood used to activate the snake shadow could not satisfy the thirst for blood?

That makes perfect sense.

At that time, great scholars will surely debate the classics for me. (•̀⌄•́)

So, under the expectant gaze of everyone, he casually ran his thumb across the blade, and the blood was absorbed before it even flowed out.

"call--"

A soft, breathing sound.

The flowing black symbols on the dagger's surface resembled living ink—

They intertwine and extend with each other.

It outlines a completely new weapon design.
