  Chapter 416 The Awakening of Dragon Blood (33)

   "It's the ghost!"

  Ian concluded: "Compared to the prophecy I got from Linda, if I didn't participate, it would be the Academy of Gnosis that got the 'requirement' in the end."

"And the Academy of Intellectual Knowledge is also obtained jointly with another force that I don't know at present. This influence must not be the side of Canaan Moore and Marquis Barton, because the former will never share with the Institute of Intellectual Knowledge, and the latter is the one that is really related to the Dragon Worship Cult. A connected person."

"Here comes the question. Is it the black shadow that is following me that joined hands with the Institute of the Intellectuals? The only thing that deserves to be tracked recently, apart from the ancient dragon aura on my body, is the matter of Lian Ling... Oh, and Feiyan Damn, almost forgot, but they can't."

"Since it's not Dragon Worship, Flame Land, Canaan Moor, or any local organization, then there are only imperial organizations from outside Nanling... In other words, like the Institute of the Intellect, organizations from the imperial capital. "

   "According to the prophecy, it was the forces from the imperial capital who joined forces to obtain the 'importance' in the hands of the Dragon Worship Cult!"

  Although there is not much positive information now, the young man has a lot of side information, which allows Ian to analyze the current situation clearly.

   Obviously, there was a joint operation between the Canaan Moore branch of the Dragon Cult and the Nanling branch, and this action was acquiesced by the Marquis of Barton.

   Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the fact that this group of members of the Dragon Worship came here on a merchant ship openly, and was almost caught several times after being discovered, and finally ran away while the dragon shadow passed by.

   It was Marquis Barton who deliberately let them go.

   On the side of Canaan Moore, whether it was the candle holder who came after him, or the oak master who made Siou's mother also act, it was obviously all for what they called "the important thing".

  This 'essential' is what Linda called 'precious and common'.

   They have undercover agents in the Dragon Worship Cult, so they know this news.

   And this important thing, even Ian's prophetic vision can't find it, it's no wonder that the little girl who is also a user of the prophetic power is also indescribable.

  As for the Institute of the Consciousness and another mysterious force in the imperial capital, they got the news from the "inner ghost" from the Marquis of Barton, and knew the existence of the "required object", which was successfully obtained in Linda's prophecy.

   It's just that now, the Institute of the Intellect has failed.

  Because Anfa, who represents the branch of the Canaan Moore Dragon Worship Cult and carries important items, has merged with the Nanling Dragon Worship Cult represented by Xiou under the influence of Ian.

   Their mission, and even the goal of the Marquis Barton, have been achieved.

  Things have reached this point, for Marquis Barton and the Dragon Worshiper, the most important thing has changed.

   That is, find out the ghosts in both camps!

  Of course, Ian doesn't think he's an insider.

  He really wanted to join the Dragon Worship Cult, but he chose the fastest and most efficient method.

  Others call it scheming, but teenagers call it efficient.

  Thinking of this, Ian smiled instead: "Interesting."

"I have already recorded the source quality characteristics of the black shadow that I fought with. As long as I meet him again, I will know who he is—and the other party is very likely to be a member of the mysterious force that cooperates with the Academy of Spiritual Knowledge. member."

   "Similarly, he may also be the ghost on the side of Marquis Barton."

  Having finished thinking in his heart, the boy slowly got up.

   "Hey, the wizard knight woke up faster than I expected!"

Outside, Xio's pointed ears moved—this is also one of his flaws, where do the mountain people have pointed ears—he heard the voice of the sacrificial room on the other side, and then showed a smile of 'as expected': "I just said Now, he's strong—slender as a goblin, but his bones must be drenched with dragon's blood!"

  The elf bachelor closed his eyes and shook his head: "Quiet, Siou. The guide knight is a psychic. His spirit and soul are stronger than ours, and it should be faster than you expected."

Looking at this scene, Elder Manya also sighed: "Remember, what should be said and what should not be said, don't say that we are Dragon Worshipers, you are all members of my Avod department, wait until later to guide After he discovers his own dragon blood, he will slowly reveal it..."

  After speaking, they approached the sacrificial room.

  But before Anfa, the leader, reached out, a series of soft footsteps sounded, one step ahead of him, and opened the door.

   "Hello, everyone of Dragon Worship Sect."

  A weak young man said with a smile: "Although there was a misunderstanding at first, it seems that I was wrong. I have to apologize to everyone."

   "The one who really attacked me was someone else."

   This sentence instantly shocked everyone present, and it can be said that they were struck by lightning.

   "Actually, I have long seen that Mr. Xiou is related to the Dragon Worship Cult. He has too many flaws, and he also has a familiar aura to me...so I accidentally misunderstood the identity and purpose of the other party."

  The voice continued, and amidst the soft words, a figure slowly walked out of the quiet room and appeared under the moonlight.

  Anfa retracted his hand in surprise, and took a step back.

  He met Ian several times before, and the other party was wearing a helmet. When he met in the woods, Ian was already injured and unconscious.

  But now, when he saw Ian's face seriously, a thought could not help but arise in his heart.

  —It actually made me meet someone prettier than elves...

  The boy who opened the door was wearing the leather shirt inside the knight armor, half of which had been chopped off by Sombra's blade and the subsequent healing, revealing his fair skin. He has a handsome appearance and a tall build, with loose white hair pulled back, and sapphire-like pupils shining with spiritual halos, looking around everyone present with a smile.

  Just because of the injury, the boy frowned slightly, as if he still felt a little unwell.

  What is harmless? Even the well-informed Elder Manya was suspicious immediately, wondering whether the other party's injury had really improved a little, and whether he needed to rest for a while.

   "Let me just say he looks good."

The only one who was normal was Xiou, who met Ian at dinner before, and he whispered to Anfa proudly: "To be honest, when I saw him for the first time, I thought he was also made by a certain dragon. The pinched human form... for a moment I forgot how to say hello."

   "Next time I'll refer to his appearance!" The Dragonborn was very excited.

"Please stop, dear friend, the similarity between you and me will already reveal the relationship between us, don't drag others into it." And Anfa scolded in a low voice: "Look at your craftsmanship, I made it with my own hands!" Not as good as anyone else."

Xiou was obviously aggrieved: "Didn't I always make the human figure of a girl or a child...Recently, I became an adult, and my mother suddenly wanted a son again, so I changed into an adult man. I can't make it well." It's normal... your human gender is really troublesome."

  This conversation caused Man Ya and Ian to be silent for a while, and finally the old mountain man broke the silence.

   "Sit down and rest, honored guest."

  The old man stretched out his hand, indicating to Ian that he didn't have to stand and talk, and sat back on the edge of the bed, and Ian also returned to the hospital bed in the sacrificial room, and sat down obediently.

Elder Manya was also sitting at the side, and he introduced himself to Ian with a smile: "My name is Manya Avod, the elder of Jishan from the Avod department, you can call me Manya or Elder. "

   "A few days ago, I met you at the mouth of the Indigo Mountain Gorge and invited you. If you come to our tribe by chance, we will treat you as a distinguished guest."

   "And now I know the reason." Ian also raised the corners of his mouth. He looked at his knees and said softly, "Dragon blood in my body."

   "Yes, the dragon's blood in your body."

The elder clenched the bone stick in his hand, and his voice became solemn: "Ian, I already know your name from some sources—you are a genius from Port Harrison, a rare young knight and alchemist in South Ridge. You are indeed Extraordinarily intelligent, it is your gift, the strength of your mind."

   "But your specialness in the way of sublimation is probably due to... the awakening of dragon blood."
