Chapter 259: Don’t Covet the Dragon’s Pearl 27
Although Mingnan felt that Rice was seeking benefits for himself, he had to admit that this method was indeed effective.
After a few days of "exercise" that caused back pain, Mingnan himself began to sense the power fluctuations of the demon species.
Rice thought of something and pulled out an old box from under the bed. After blowing away the dust and opening it, a smell of aged wood hit him in the face.
Mingnan couldn't help but wrinkled his nose, turned his head and sneezed loudly.
Les hurriedly dragged the box away, then took out a thick, dark brown book with a curled cover that was about to fall apart if opened.
He patted it hard on both sides to get rid of all the dust, then brought it to Mingnan and said, "Take a look."
"what is this?"
Mingnan took it, turned a page carefully, and then found that... she couldn't understand it.
There are strange and distorted words painted on it. To say that the words are too abstract is more like scribbles.
"This is a history book of our dragon clan. It records the major events we experienced from birth to reproduction to each generation. It also records some uncommon magic spells."
Rice sat down next to Mingnan, with his tail tucked up and the book held between them.
Mingnan couldn't help but think again, [The tail is really useful. ]
Les turned and looked at her with a smile.
Fortunately, she doesn't have a tail, so if she likes it, she can only touch his, hehe~
"So all these are your dragon clan's ghost... words?"
Mingnan almost let the cat out of the bag and quickly changed his words.
Les: "..."
He rubbed Mingnan's hair helplessly, pointed at a line of words that looked like earthworms crawling around, and said, "This is the magic spell. At first, all the magic spells on the continent were like this. But later, human wizards came to learn from us, and they rewrote the magic encyclopedia in their own language, which is how we have the current popular version."
"However, some spells are too obscure, so it is easy to make mistakes when translating, which will lead to new magic and produce unexpected effects, which will lead to new spells. Over time, human and dragon magic have formed two branches."
Mingnan was startled, "How did you know that your inherited memory has awakened?"
Les nodded and looked at her meaningfully. "Maybe it's because the estrus period is over and I am a true adult dragon, so some memories hidden in my blood have awakened."
Mingnan: "..."
Feeling that the topic was about to turn to the unspeakable Mosaic, Mingnan quickly lowered his head and continued reading.
"So what clues did you come up with when you found this book?"
I didn't fall for it.
Les looked away regretfully, "Well, I was thinking, I know most magic, if I don't know, then it must be human magic, or some lost ancient magic. But you should know human magic, if you don't know——"
Rice turned a page and said, "That wizard probably used ancient magic. Maybe we can find the answer here."
"But I don't know any of these words. How long will it take you to find them by yourself?"
Mingnan looked at the book, which was much thicker than a brick, with a complicated expression.
"It would probably take three days and three nights to search with the naked eye. However, a magical problem must be solved with magic."
Lais smiled and held Mingnan's hand, saying softly, "It may be a little painful, just bear with it."
Mingnan blinked, and the next moment he opened his mouth and bit her index finger. His sharp teeth applied a little force and pierced her fingertip. A round drop of blood came out. Les immediately pinched her finger and pressed it on the closed eyes of the evil dragon on the cover of the magic book.
The moment the blood dripped, a red light became brighter and the evil dragon suddenly opened its golden eyes!
When Mingnan met its gaze, his breathing stopped for a moment.
What a strong pressure!
It turns out that the dragon on the cover is not just a picture, it is very likely that the soul of the evil dragon is sealed inside.
Soon, her guess came true.
The evil dragon on the cover flew out immediately after absorbing her blood, and the palm-sized black dragon plunged into the thick magic book.
Rice's tail loosened, and the magic book floated in the air by itself. It suddenly opened, and the pages flipped rustlingly, finally stopping at a certain page.
Mingnan looked closely and saw a line of strange spells light up.
"What does this say?"
Rice stared at it for a while, then laughed, "So that's it."
When the spell faded, the dragon returned to the cover. Les pointed at the spell and said, "This is a magic that specifically targets dragons. It was created by another evil force on the continent. As long as you plant a magic seed in a living creature and then place it next to the evil dragon, the seed will absorb the dragon's breath and magic power and will slowly revive."
"At first, its fluctuations are not obvious, and it is difficult for the dragon to notice it, but over time, the dragon will feel sleepy and weak, and fall into a deep sleep."
"But once the demon seed is ripened, it will only be effective for fifteen days. After fifteen days, it will disappear without leaving any trace."
Mingnan frowned, "Just like that?"
Les nodded. "Yes, because the evil dragon itself is immune to all kinds of magic and has a purification effect. As long as we give the evil dragon enough time, any magic will be metabolized by us, so this kind of magic can only make the evil dragon fall into a short sleep and be unable to resist."
He stroked the yellowed pages of the magic book and said, "In the beginning of the Sith Continent, the evil dragons were the real rulers, but in fact we had no ambition to rule the continent, so the evil dragon ancestors taught humans magic and allowed them to reproduce and survive. But with more people, there are good people and bad people."
"They were afraid of our unfathomable power, so they began to spread the word that we were evil dragons and would destroy the world sooner or later. Some people believed it and joined the camp to fight against the evil dragon. They gathered together and used various schemes to frame us. When they found that they could not defeat us head-on, they simply used roundabout ways to send us jewels, beauties, and various juicy prey to seek peace."
"The dragon leader trusted those greedy humans. He fell in love with one of the beauties at first sight, so he took her back to his home and picked a cute rabbit from his prey for her to keep as a pet."
Mingnan understood immediately after hearing this, "Were both the beauty and the rabbit possessed by demons?"
Les nodded, "The demon seed can only survive on living things, but they don't know it themselves. The chief and the beauty lived a very happy life until the demon seed took effect and he began to fall into a coma. The beauty panicked and found other dragons to show him."
"That day, all the dragons gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Those people got the news and kidnapped the beauty and killed the leader of the evil dragon clan under the pretext of visiting."
As he spoke, an expression of disgust could not be controlled on Les's face. "At that time, there were many people, many of whom knew magic. They fought a great battle with the dragons, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Later, a branch of the human race that was close to the dragons took some of the new small tribes and fled to the east, south, and north continents to hide their strength."
