Xing Ke has been staring at the giant stone mountain-like old dragon in front of him for a while.

If you look closely at his scales, you will find that they are not so much bluestone-like scales as that his scales have aged to the point of being petrified. The petrified scales are covered with moss and various unknown grasses.

plant.

On his back covered with plants, there are two scarred wings that are obviously due to aging and shrinkage. Obviously, he could fly in the sky originally, but now he can't.

Different from the flying dragon or the void dragon after the star transformation, he does not stand on two legs, but has four thick limbs sunk deeply into the earth. The ratio of the tail to the body length is also relatively small, but it is obviously thicker.

The eyes that were close at hand did not seem to be looking at the star, but were using the sense of smell from the nose to obtain information from the star. According to Xingke's speculation, the white pupils may not be the original color - he

He has become so old that he is starting to lose his sight.

After he was brought here by Lindel, he never said a word again. He was silently looked at by the ancient dragon in front of him, and Xing Ke also looked at him.

A dying old dragon? Xing Ke was inexplicably envious.

The dying dragon and the immortal species also possess unusual patience.

Both of them remained silent.

But in the end it was Lao Long who broke the silence.

"Nice to meet you, little wizard. My name is Nebin, the oldest dragon in this canyon."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Nebin. You can just call me Gis. Are you okay? I see a lot of grass growing on you."

Although the forest was covered with weeds, Naibin didn't seem to care.

"Don't worry. This is just a sign that our dragon species is about to return to the earth."

At this time, Lindel on the side explained to Xing Mo.

"Dragons like Nebin, I call them Uiru, which is a name that means earth. They are like the parents of the forest. When they reach the limit of their lifespan, their bodies gradually decay.

There will be green grass growing on the ground. Help them return to the earth."

The stars suddenly dawned.

It turns out that on the way here, there was a tree growing on top of the raised piles of rocks. It turned out to be the corpse of a dragon.

"This way of death is really peaceful. There is no need to worry about such a huge corpse causing trouble."

But obviously, Xing Mo, who has a clear mind, does not care about the atmosphere.

"Haha, this is the first time I see a human being who is not afraid of death. The humans I met when I was young couldn't understand our fearless attitude towards death."

"Really? It's such an honor. So what do you want from me? If it's a request, I will receive compensation as appropriate."

"Sure enough, there is something different about you. You exude an incomparable amount of magic power all over your body. You are also so sincere in your treatment of me, a foreigner you meet for the first time. You don't look like a short-lived human being."

Uncle, you have told the truth.

"Did you discover anything when you first came here?"

"Discover? No."

"Then if I tell you, the dragons in this canyon here are the only dragons in the Kingdom of Dragons. Do you understand?"

"...All? Isn't this too little?"

Although this canyon is very long, if you look at the density of dragons along the way, there won't be more than two thousand dragons in this canyon, right? This is a pan-race.

"Our race has been declining for a long time, and the reason is not very clear. Originally, we thought that the rise of mankind had restricted our living environment, and we wanted to do something to mankind, but we were stopped by the wizard."

"But later time proved that our idea was wrong. It is not just our race that relies on natural elements that is declining, but the entire world is mysteriously declining."

"Although I have been staying in the Dragon Kingdom and never left, I can connect with the natural dream world and observe the whole world through dreaming."

Can you still observe the future? You are very different from the green dragon.

"There are fewer and fewer awakened wizards, and the lifespan is shortening in the direction of ordinary humans, becoming a truly short-lived species. Without a large amount of magic power to support, spells will gradually turn into tricks. Humans with magician talents are almost

There are few magical creatures that are becoming extinct much faster than our species of dragons."

"Just when my life was coming to an end, I thought that everything would be over and the extinction of the dragon species would be just a matter of time."

"I found you in my dream."

"The scales glow golden under the setting sun, the wings twinkle with stars, and the body is as huge as the sky. Just existing there is a kind of pressure. Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Nabin seemed a little excited when he said this.

"Ah...hahaha, I'm sorry, that's just me..."

Xingke didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't say he was making it up if there was no such dragon in this world, right? How could a made-up creature succeed in using Animagus transformation? The reason for illusion is definitely against this dream-stealing thing.

-Peeping at the old dragon doesn't work...

"That gesture is undoubtedly the image of our ancestors who were the last dragons to fly into the stars in the inheritance memory of the dragon clan!"

"Pfft...huh?"

Xing immediately burst into laughter when he heard this.

What did this old dragon say just now? Ancestor? The original dragon? Flying to the stars?

Please tell me to slow down, I seemed to have heard an amazing setting just now.

First, the old dragon spied on my Animagus experiment of transforming into a void dragon species, and then determined through the appearance that it was the form of their ancestor, the original dragon.

Although there is a huge difference between their postures in the past so long, they still have an inherited memory as evidence.

Did they make a mistake? Is it just a coincidence that they look similar?

But that's not quite right. The light of stars propelling particles can be a coincidence, but he still has the idea of ​​eventually flying to the starry sky, that is, the universe. After adding this point, Xingke has to think about it more.

Could it be that the void dragon from the original world traveled through once before the Star Moment?

And then flew into the universe?

MMP, there is such a setting, I have never heard of it.

"At that time, that location was Hohenheim, the wizard's school. Based on the memories of the forest there, I also determined that it was your transformation technique that turned you into the form of an ancestral dragon. And when our ancestral dragon left the earth

Even the human race has not yet been born.”

"..."

The only way to deal with this moment is with silence.

"Child, I don't want to question your secret, I just want to ask you as an old man who is about to return to the earth - is there no way to help our dragon clan, which is on the verge of extinction?"

………………

…………

…

Maybe Nabin noticed something? The last question didn't contain much expectation or hope in his tone.

This somewhat heavy question is really difficult to answer in Xingji.

Endsworth and Lindell had not spoken since the beginning, but they were also infected by the atmosphere. When it came to being on the verge of extinction, the magicians were no different.

There is no way for Xingke to eliminate the dragon clan. Magic is a miracle, but it is by no means omnipotent.

Do you want to turn into a void dragon now and give birth to a child?

Not to mention that the way the First Dragon gave birth to this magical earth dragon clan was definitely not by giving birth to a child. Even if it was, it would not be possible for one person to complete the great cause of creating a race.

Not to mention that the current problem is that the entire mysterious measurement is declining, and it is not as simple as the need for new blood.

After thinking for a long time, Xingke's answer to Nabin could only be:

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about your predicament."

"... Huh, is that so? Please don't mind it. This was my rude request in the first place."

"I thought I saw a lot when I came to the Dragon Kingdom this time. Although I can't help you, thank you for the invitation."

"Now that you're here, take a look around. No matter what, you are our friend."

Without giving Nabin any hope, Xingji stood up, thanked him, and left the stream where Nabin lived.

What else can Xing Ke do? Try his best to give this dying man a vain hope?

Tell him that there is a problem in your world, why don't you move your entire family to another world?

Or tell him that your magic research is not complete yet, and you can wait until one day to come out and tell him that you are saved?

impossible.

I don't have the interest or ability to shoulder the fate of a group of people who have nothing to do with me.

When did you have the illusion that I am a kind and gentle person?

I am not as arrogant as the protagonist of the story.

The elimination of species is a natural law, and Xing Ke has seen it countless times in his long life.

We can save today, but we cannot save tomorrow.

The long time is so cruel. It has always been.
