Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 120: The Pure Flame of Arendelle
Murphy smiled and said, "So those people are trying to steal Frostmourne's idea of becoming the Lich King?"
Tian Xiu (Palace Swordsman): "That's about right. At least most people think so. It's funny to think about it. When the Lich King is selecting a successor in the future, he will be overwhelmed by the choices. There are more than forty princes, and you are asked how to choose.
But I think Arthas will be the Lich King in the end."
"Oh, why?"
Tianxiu (Court Swordsman): "Because of the protagonist's halo. Let me tell you, this game definitely has a main storyline. These important characters in the story are all protected by halos, especially Arthas—" Tianxiu suddenly lowered his voice when he said this, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. There are more than one or two people in our family who want to kill Arthas. They've tried all kinds of methods, including assassins, ambushes by bandits, and accidents. Unfortunately, Arthas just won't die. Now all they have left is to kill him directly. But I guess no one dares to do that. After all, their reputation will be ruined if they do that. A prince's background costs five million, and no one wants to make things easier for others, right?"
Mo Fei thought that they were indeed ruthless people who could even kill their own brother. However, he could understand the thoughts of these people.
If you can really become the Lich King, you can definitely make a lot of money. It is a profitable business. This is not just about showing off in the game, but real economic benefits. Apart from anything else, the ability to transform into a Death Knight alone will attract many players to spend money to buy services.
After all, the Death Knight is handsome and powerful. Although he has to be controlled by the dark side, it doesn’t matter in this game.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse must be sold for several million each. In the future, they will command the Scourge Legion and have countless bosses of all sizes under their command. They can directly sell the heads of the Adventurer Bosses, or simply sell the Ice Dragon mounts directly. One million each is not expensive, right?
As long as players want to engage in PY transactions, they can make a lot of money.
It is probably because of this that the system will protect Arthas to the death. The so-called protagonist halo is probably the power of the system.
Tian Xiu (Palace Swordsman): "Brother, tell me the truth, do you know how to open this statue?"
Murphy shook his head. "How would I know? I haven't come up with any results from my research."
Tianxiu (Palace Swordsman): "Stop talking nonsense, otherwise why are you here in the middle of the night?"
"Haha, I thought you had some way to open the statue, so I came here in the middle of the night to try my luck. You asked me, and I wanted to ask you, have you figured out any tricks?"
Murphy would never reveal his identity as the Dragon Eater.
Tian Xiu (Palace Swordsman): "If I had figured it out, I would have stayed here. It would have been triggered long ago. But I think that mirror should have some meaning. Maybe the key lies here."
As he spoke, he walked to the mirror, looked at it and guessed.
“I think it might require a dragon heart, and if you shine the dragon heart in front of a mirror, the mirror will open a portal, or a phantom wall or something like that.
Otherwise, a ghost of an ancient dragon feaster will walk out of a mirror, and then the dragon feasting ceremony can begin."
He walked up and touched the runes around the mirror, then looked at the ancient dragon statue.
"But it is also possible that other special props are needed to trigger it, which would be troublesome. If that is the case, this special prop would be valuable. If we can monopolize it, we can make a fortune. Then we can directly sell the door-opening service for 50,000 yuan per time."
Murphy said: "Fifty thousand dollars is not a lot. It's not enough to buy a skill book."
Tian Xiu (Palace Swordsman): "You can't think like that. It's the so-called small profits but quick turnover. As long as we spread the benefits of the Dragon Feast Ceremony, with the first batch of successful cases, there will definitely be more and more people who want to hold Dragon Feasts in the future. By then, we can make a lot of money just by collecting admission fees.
Mo Fei thought that this guy was really daring, but it was true that if he spread the Dragon Feast Way and then set up a door-opening service, he could indeed make a lot of money, but if many people really knew that he had the key to open the portal, he would probably be targeted immediately and beaten to death.
He thought to himself, but a surprised expression appeared on his face, "Fuck, this is a good plan, but it's a pity that I really don't have it. If I did, I wouldn't post it."
Tian Xiu (the court swordsman): "I see. I was overthinking. Sorry."
Eh, it was so easy to fool him? Murphy was a little surprised. Could it be that his Bluff Master specialty was effective? By the way, does this thing have any effect on players?
The two chatted for a while, and then walked around the statue for a long time. Tianxiu finally couldn't bear it anymore, "I can't take it anymore. I'm too sleepy. I'm going to go offline and sleep."
"Well, I'll withdraw too."
The two men came out of the cave, said goodbye to each other and parted ways. Murphy watched Tianxiu return to the camp and get into the tent, but he himself quietly slipped back.
Seeing that there was no one around, Murphy took out the statue and aimed it at the eyes of the ancient dragon statue. As the eyes of the ancient dragon statue lit up, the scene on the top of Tongtian Peak slowly emerged in the mirror in front of him, and Murphy walked straight through.
The mountaintop covered with snow instantly appeared in front of me. There was a howling storm in the sky, but there was only a calm circular area where the mountaintop was located. Looking up at the sky, I could even see bright stars.
After putting away the statue and closing the entrance, he slowly walked towards the top of the mountain. On the ancient stone steps, he saw the corpse of the giant dragon again, but now, he had some understanding of these corpses. These giant dragons were most likely left behind by the last batch of Dragon Eaters.
What puzzled him was why the Dragon Feaster was connected to the ancient dragon.
Full of doubts, he walked up to the top of the mountain, entered the Dragon Feast Ceremony Hall, and came to the altar surrounded by dragon statues.
Mysterious voice: "Ah, you are here again, chasing after the dragon's power. Do you bring new sacrifices?"
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Yes, I have brought a new sacrifice. Let us begin the Dragon Feast ceremony."
He placed the black dragon's heart on the altar.
A mysterious voice said, "Well, a black dragon's heart, which contains pure fire power. You have good taste, dragon chaser. Although the power of this heart is not particularly strong, it is very pure. I have a feeling that it will definitely add magical power to you."
The runes on the altar lit up one by one, surrounding the dragon's heart. The dragon's heart began to glow, as if affected by some mysterious force. The dragon soul power contained in it was fully activated, emitting a scorching light like boiling metal.
Mysterious voice: "Eat! Mortals who pursue the power of the dragon, feast on the flesh and blood, devour the power, integrate the power of the law into your blood, cast it into your soul, feel the power of the dragon, eat it... eat it... go... go... go... go."
The voice kept whispering in my ears, with a long echo.
Murphy once again felt that something was watching him, and there were a lot of things. Those invisible eyes seemed to be looking forward to everything that would happen next. The salivating feeling once made his back feel cold.
But at this moment, he understood that those invisible eyes were none other than the Dragon Eaters of the past. Their souls and their consciousness were watching all this.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Old Dragon Eaters, ancient warriors who sought the power of dragons, please bear witness. Bear witness to this."
Murphy held up the dragon's heart, which was as hot as boiling metal, and he took a bite.
The salty, sticky dragon blood poured into his mouth. The hot taste was like burning magma. Murphy felt a stream of burning fire flowing down his throat and spreading to his internal organs, limbs and bones.
So hot! Arandel's heart was even hotter than the lava dragon's, as if he was swallowing molten gold, but soon he felt a hunger. The more he ate, the hungrier he became. He longed for more. Eating filled his heart with a sense of satisfaction, and he felt that the power was gathering towards his heart.
His heartbeat was getting better and better, thump-thump-thump!
The heart seemed to be injected with nuclear energy and was extremely strong.
The song rang in my ears again, this time it was very clear, majestic and solemn, sacred and joyful.
Hey--hoo--ha! Ho--hoo--ha!
Ah—ah—ah—ah—ah—ah!
The majestic and sacred singing was as if many voices were singing together. He could recognize the meaning of the singing. It was a hymn sung in the ancient dragon language, praising the Dragon Feast, praising those who pursued the power of dragons, praising their martial arts, praising them for killing dragons, protecting mankind, and becoming legends!
(Ancient Dragon Language? Why do Dragon Eaters speak Ancient Dragon Language?)
The dragon feaster, the dragon feaster, feast on flesh and blood, devour the dragon!
Those who feast on the dragon, those who feast on the dragon, seize the power and forge the dragon soul!
(The dragon feasting ceremony must have specific rituals and steps, and this ceremony is performed by the magic of the ancient dragons. Yes, the ancient dragons must have taught humans the dragon feasting ceremony! The mysterious wizard who taught Emperor Thoradin the dragon feasting ceremony must have been an ancient dragon.)
Ah—ah—ah—ah—ah—ah!
He continued to eat and sing.
(The goal of the ancient dragons is to revive the Dragon God. They want to use the hands of the Dragon Eaters to accomplish this goal. The body determines the will, not the will determines the body. If a Dragon Eater devours enough dragon hearts, it may be possible to obtain the power of the Dragon God. When a person obtains the power of the Dragon God, he naturally becomes the Dragon God.)
Those who feast on the dragons, those who feast on the dragons, embark on a journey and there is no way back!
People of the Dragon Feast, people of the Dragon Feast, the time has come, wake up the Dragon God!
Hey--hoo--ha! Heh--hoo--ha...
So that's how it is. Murphy has thought through the whole story.
The Dragon Eaters devour each other and the dragons, and their power continues to gather and be purified, and finally one of them will become the Dragon God. But Gu Long obviously miscalculated one thing. In order to resurrect the Dragon God, he must obtain the divine power of the five guardian dragons, that is, the authority of the Dragon God, which is the priesthood he holds and the source of his divine power.
Without these five powers, it would be useless even if you devoured as many dragon hearts as possible.
Eventually, with the reconciliation between the dragons and humans, the Dragon Feast Plan completely failed.
But this was not a problem for him. He didn't have much hope of reviving the Dragon God anyway. As long as he could obtain the power of a dragon, it would be fine, whether it was a giant dragon or an ancient dragon.
Murphy thought to himself until the last piece of meat entered his mouth - uh, he burped.
All the eyes that were fixed on him disappeared in an instant.
The singing stopped instantly, and only the whistling sound of the wind echoed in my ears.
[System prompt: You have completed the Dragon Feast Ceremony and obtained the skill - [Pure Flame of Arandal]. ]
[System prompt: Due to unknown reasons, your [Deathwing's Divine Seal] has become slightly loose.]
Hmm? The seal of God has been loosened?
Could it be related to the swallowing of the dragon's heart?
I don't know if swallowing the black dragon's heart will have an effect or if all dragon hearts will have an effect...
He tried to activate the seal-releasing skill.
[System prompt: Your skill is currently unavailable.]
Sure enough, he was overthinking it, but this did give him a glimmer of hope. He could try it after each Dragon Feast in the future. Maybe he could get it unblocked someday.
He began to check the newly acquired Dragon Feast skills.
[Alandel's Pure Flame (Dragon Feast Skill)
Use: Releases a breath of pure fire, dealing continuous fire damage to enemies in a straight line or cone in front of you.
Conditions of use: Consumes 50 mana points, and an additional 20 mana points are consumed for each second the spit continues.
Skill Description: Arandel devours the fire element crystal core, absorbs the essence of the flame, and integrates the elemental fire into his dragon breath. The mottled black dragon flame becomes pure. It is said that the purest flame can burn everything and return the world to its most primitive form. However, the flame is ultimately carried by flesh and blood. Even if the power of pure flame is mastered, it still cannot escape the fate of death. 】
Good luck! Murphy was delighted. Sure enough, he got the Dragon Breath skill. The skill description seemed very powerful.
He turned to face the empty mountain.
The pure flame of Arandel!
Murphy took a deep breath, his heart felt hot, and the blood in his body suddenly became as hot as lava. The power of the dragon soul condensed instantly, and the air in front of him twisted. The phantom of Alandel's dragon head emerged out of thin air and completely overlapped with his head. At that moment, Murphy's perspective suddenly switched, and he actually entered the dragon's perspective directly. Murphy was not panicked, he was very familiar with this perspective.
As soon as it opened its mouth, the dragon head roared and spewed out a blazing golden-white flame. This pure flame did not seem to be scorching, and even had a light and elegant tone. The flame sprayed out for more than ten meters. Murphy slowly turned his head, and Alandel's dragon head also turned. The flame swept across the floor of the ceremony hall, sweeping away the thick ice that had been frozen on the ground for hundreds of years.
Murphy excitedly sprayed flames continuously, adjusting the angle, sometimes spraying out a straight stream of fire, sometimes spraying out a cone-shaped wave of fire. In just a dozen seconds, all the magic power in his body was completely exhausted.
Alandel's dragon head then disappeared, and his perspective switched back to that of a human.
Looking at the destructive effects on the ground, the power was quite astonishing. Not only did all the ice and snow covering it disappear, but even the rocky ground showed a certain degree of carbonization. A fan-shaped area of more than 100 square meters was burned into a pitch-black area.
This move is extremely powerful for clearing small monsters, and it should also be very useful against agile enemies. No matter how strong your dodging ability is, I don't believe you can avoid such an attack.
It is also very useful against super-large enemies. You should know that AOE skills such as Dragon's Breath calculate damage based on the hit area. The larger the size, the larger the burn area and the higher the damage.
Thanks to Foror's Lava Blood, the power of this skill is increased by an additional 10%.
The only problem is that it consumes too much mana. He only has 400 mana now, and basically his mana will be used up after spraying for more than ten seconds.
It seems I have to bring more blue bottles with me when I go out in the future.
