"The most eye-catching things here are the Flowing Silver Fighting Skills and the Platinum Sky. I think King Platinum named them simply because of the silver sands of the Glittering Fields and the platinum color of the small airships reflecting the sunlight as they streaked across the sky.

“I have a different understanding of this.”

Li Ang's words initially left everyone puzzled, wondering why he brought up these two competitions again. But when he reached the last sentence, it became clear that he was only beginning, and the rest of his words were the key.

“Silver and platinum have beautiful meanings in my opinion.

“Silver is the color of purity and tranquility, while platinum embodies hope and vitality.”

"Lulu." Li Ang first looked at Xiaoniu. The pink-haired girl suddenly perked up and looked serious.

"Purity and tranquility are your hallmarks. Even though your constitution leans towards brutal combat, you often find moments of quiet contemplation. Your heart is as kind as crystal, and I hope these beautiful qualities will remain forever. You are a warrior standing on earth, and I hope that wherever you walk, purity and tranquility will nourish the land."

"Hehehe." Xiao Niu just lowered his head and smiled foolishly, mainly because he was very embarrassed by the praise.

"Andasu."

The white wolf waited and listened attentively.

"Now, the shackles of fate have been lifted from you. Nothing can restrain your unfettered freedom. You are a genius among mechanics, a brave fighter, and the heir of the Ruten tribe's true power. This sky will be your ultimate stage. I'm sure the skies above you will also be tinged with hope and vitality."

The eyes of the girl with animal ears flickered, and her golden pupils at this moment were more gorgeous than any gem.

"Silver land and platinum sky—this is the magnificent view we see in the Glittering Fields. You are the newest members of our Star Flower Troupe. Meeting you now is a precious treasure in life. Let us move forward together."

After Li Ang finished speaking, the girls were speechless, but their expressions already conveyed their high spirits.

He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed an extremely difficult task.

"You take good care of the child." Farina praised quietly.

"As the leader, I have to say what I need to say at a time like this. I'm afraid I'll be too forceful, so I hope you don't feel embarrassed listening to it."

Li Ang sighed inwardly. Didn't I originally want to recruit steady and experienced teammates? Instead, I found four problem children to test me. And I have to constantly comfort them. It's not wrong to say I'm taking care of children.

“Have you ever considered becoming a poet after retirement?”

"How old are you now? How can I get to where I am now? I still have to fight my way back to the front row."

"Tsk, a boring man whose mind is only focused on fighting and killing."

Farina said, "We've known each other for so many years, don't you want to say anything to your sister?"

"You did take care of me back then."

"I'll be under your care from now on." The witch said with a smile.

"What's the meaning……"

Li Ang thought, "Are you going to get on my boat?" But before he could say anything, his stomach started growling wildly.

"It's time to eat!" "Brother has been lying in bed for a long time, he must be starving, right?"

The girls laughed out loud.

"I'll prepare the exquisite dishes."

Alafia was originally eager to wait for Leon to say something to her, but now she offered to be responsible for preparing the meal.

The group walked towards the restaurant on the ship.

The girls cleared the way, Leon and Farina walking side by side. "While we're eating, let's talk about dragons. You said you wanted to tell me about your own story, and I have a lot to ask you about that Bahamut."

146. Projection of Mythology

The conditions of the onboard restaurant on Elafia's "God of Weapons" are far superior to those of other order groups.

Although Li Ang had never been on a ship of other order groups, the rows of Douding people who shouted "Miss" and saluted her were definitely something that no other group had.

The blonde girl's dedicated chef team was working in full swing, and she floated to a large dining table, motioning for everyone to take a seat.

Li Ang hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Ella Fia asked in confusion.

"I just want to ask, do you have enough supplies on board?"

Alulu took a half step back embarrassedly and hid beside Li Ang.

Ellaphia raised an eyebrow. "Are you afraid you'll bankrupt me? This is a combat ship. We're always ready to carry out difficult missions. Supplies are never a problem. Even the finest ingredients are more than enough to entertain you."

"Did you hear that?"

Leon gently nudged the calf with his elbow. The calf was both excited and worried after hearing that Alafia was going to provide dishes.

"The leader of the Flame Group is wealthy and powerful, so you can rest assured."

"Thank you." Alulu bowed to Elafia.

"Uh, oh." The blonde girl was a little uncomfortable.

Except for Dorothy, it was the first time for all the members of Leon's group to see the flying sword Douding.

Leon could see that due to the pressure of her strength, they, including the half-elves, were a little afraid of her.

It wasn't that Alafia wasn't used to people being polite to her. Leon guessed it was because she felt a huge difference between before and after.

Based on his understanding of the girls present, he was moved to this ship at Ella Fia's insistence. This little guy can be tactful when necessary, but he is also quite strong.

Leon's team members didn't dare to provoke Ella Fia, but they certainly wouldn't be very enthusiastic towards her. They should be getting along rather unfamiliarly. Perhaps during these three days, it was all Farina who acted as a lubricant.

However, Alulu might just be shy, and the other three guys really have bad attitudes.

Alafia waved her fingers, dragged out two chairs, and made a raised seat on one of them with pure magic metal, motioning Leon to come and sit on the other one.

Zoe pulled out two chairs and tried to pull Leon over.

"Oh, I thought you were going to sit with your sister." Farina said with a smile, "Little Leon is so popular now."

Does eating a meal require a rigorous test?

Zoe stared angrily at Ellaphia who was just looking at Leon calmly.

Because of what just happened, the blond kid was a little depressed and did not make any strong demands. It seemed like he didn't care where Leon went.

Li Ang thought for a while, then sighed and said, "The guest should follow the host's wishes. I'm the leader, so I'll sit next to the host."

"Then I'll sit on your other side."

Zoe declared so firmly that Andasu, who had similar intentions as her, was overwhelmed by her momentum and did not react for a while.

After finally being seated, the waiter brought the appetizers. Leon was so hungry that he grabbed a piece of butter biscuit and gestured to Alulu, who looked expectant but hesitant, to start.

He had originally planned to just chew the biscuits and drink some tea to fill his stomach, but even if he swallowed it whole, he could still taste the aroma of butter and the perfect crispy texture.

"Delicious!" Xiao Niu also tasted the biscuits and exclaimed.

"They are all top quality. No shop on Spark Island can produce products of this level. Only Count Finat's Mansion can do that." Dorothy commented.

Zoe seemed unconvinced and unwilling to praise, but she kept eating piece after piece.

Seeing that the focus was finally not on him, Leon breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to Farina:

"Go on, about your time in the Whispering Sand Sea."

Farina nodded.

The witch said that the Dragon Cult has a very long history, and therefore has mastered some secret techniques that are not commonly seen.

For example, the spell used by the bishop to transform the Platinum King into a high-level half-dragon is a powerful secret spell. The side effects are very small compared to the improvement obtained by the recipient. Apart from consuming thick dragon blood, it is a very effective spell from the perspective of creating humanoid weapons.

This is because in ancient times, the dragon-worshiping civilization was once extremely powerful.

Believing in the magnificent and majestic nature, believing in powerful individuals and creatures, these are what intelligent races like to do. Since dragons exist in Newbis, people who believe in dragons have existed since ancient times.

These believers gradually gathered together and formed clear sects. They established connections with dragons and founded a dragon-worshiping civilization.

During the long process of development, they gained power from dragons, but their beliefs also began to diverge.

Because there are differences between dragons, and their differences are even greater than those between intelligent races.

"The dragon at the top is divided into two sides." said Farina.

Facing everyone at the table who were listening intently, she explained the differences between the two sides.

One side is the ancestors of all dragons in the world.

When the world was born and the material and magical dimensions separated, they were formed in the deepest part of the magical dimension, the source of the world's magic.

They greedily devoured the pure magic power in the magic spring. Due to contact with them, the magic power was polluted and its level fell to its current state.

"Are you saying that the magic power we are drawing now has been contaminated by the Dragon Ancestor?" Leon asked?

"Correct."

"This theory is very novel." Li Ang smiled.

"Theory? Is it true that the truth of the world is too bizarre to convince you?" Farina sighed.

"It's not that I don't believe you."

Li Ang thought to himself, I am a time traveler, so I don’t have any faith or persistence in the structure of the world. I will not be surprised by what the truth of this world is.

"I'm just speaking from the perspective of the scholars of Qianta City. When you were discussing this, my first reaction was to think about how they would comment on it. I think that's what they would say."

"What about you personally?"

Farina looked at him intently, waiting for Leon's opinion, as if it was very important.

"I am willing to believe it."

After getting Leon's answer, Farina continued her story.

Nowadays, various high-level magics, such as the ether, a purified magic proprietary to the Mistrium Academy in Thousand Towers City, and the arcane magic that incorporates micro-magic arrays into the Akenna Academy to optimize its efficiency, are essentially returning to pure magic in different ways.

"The Magical Dimension is dangerous and complex, with powerful beings coming from all directions. However, the Dragon Ancestor is the strongest monster rooted in Newbis."

Li Ang was already familiar with the witch's words, which were full of information. He only asked the key points: "Do you know what the Dragon Ancestor is specifically?"

"I know a little bit. Since you are the ancestor of all dragons in the world, I will also explain the classification of dragons to you."

Everyone knows that dragons come in various forms. For example, they have all seen Farina's scorching-winged dragon, the four-legged, two-winged flaming dragon she summoned, the wyvern, and Salamander's eggs.

“The flying dragon, with two legs and two wings, a total of four limbs, is the most common form of dragon.

"A true dragon, with four legs and two wings, a total of six limbs, is considered the most standard form of a dragon.

"The two above are descendants of the twins Black and Red, ancestors of dragons. They fight constantly, vying for power, locked in an eternal struggle for countless years.

"Their power waxes and wanes. You think the former type of dragon is weaker, and even now the reality is that the former is weaker, and you classify them as sub-dragons. This is simply because the black dragon is currently at a disadvantage, so this type of dragon does not have enough dragon factor in its body.

"When the Red Dragon is weak, its offspring will occasionally lose their wings and become the most common wingless four-legged sub-dragons."

When Farina finished, Dorothy exclaimed, "I feel like I'm listening to a fairy tale."

“Myths are microcosms of reality.”

Farina didn't say much, just left a few words and continued her story.

“The information about the Dragon Ancestor mainly comes from the records of the Dragon Worshiping Civilization. They are also divided into different branches based on the situation of the Dragon Ancestor.

"Fairy dragons, or fairy dragons, are small creatures with butterfly or other insect-like wings on their backs. Many believe these creatures are fictional, but in fact, many of the 'woods fairies' and fairies they consider are the descendants of these unpredictable little dragons that love to play tricks on mortals. Furthermore, these two are the descendants of fairy dragons and intelligent creatures."

Farina reveals the extraordinary truth of folk tales.

"Freya, the ancestor of the fairy dragons, resides at the top of the magic spring, drinking the pure magic dew that rises and condenses. She is the most cunning and unpredictable among the dragon ancestors. You must never conspire with her. Of course, mortals may not have had any contact with her for tens of thousands of years.

"Quetzal, the ancestor of flying snakes and feathered serpents, soars around pillars of pure magic emanating from the Mana Spring. Its descendants are free and unrestrained, mastering storms, and are often worshipped as gods in some civilizations. Of all the ancestors of dragons, it is the least evil."

"Who is the most evil one?" Alulu asked, her mouth full of pastries that the waiter brought to her while Farina was speaking, but she gradually mastered the ability to pronounce words accurately even when her mouth was full of food.

"That is Nidhogg, the ancestor of the worm dragons, the king of all scorpions, who occupies the center of the spring and intends to devour the entire source of magic power.

"Because its power is so evil, even the Dragon Cult burned the information within it. Only the most evil believers among them still believe in this poisonous dragon.

"You may have all heard the story of the evil dragon Fafnir guarding gold. This evil dragon was transformed from the king of the extinct intelligent race of the dwarves. They were destroyed by their own greed. It is unknown whether it was greed that led to their belief in poisonous dragons, or whether it was their contact with the poisonous dragon that led to their race being devoured by it.

"If you encounter a dragon with only two arms and the rest of its body resembling a snake, be extremely careful. Besides possessing an incurable poison, they are also masters at devouring magical energy. Many powerful individuals have been defeated by them because their magical energy was devoured during battle, instantly becoming nothing more than mortals."

Farina sighed.

"Finally, there's Leviathan, the ancestor of sea serpents, which has been silent for so long that its population is dwindling, and whose existence is unknown. Rumor has it that the power of a single one of its scales can trigger a whirlpool capable of engulfing a ship.

"There are still places where faith in Leviathan lingers, but since the Dragon Ancestor has not responded, the believers' lives have become completely secular, and faith in the sea serpent has become little more than a national culture."

After Farina finished speaking, everyone took a long time to digest what she said.

The main course provided by Alafia was also served on the table.
