The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 723 Golden Owl

Charles did not keep the suspense and recounted what happened after Mavis "died" from the curse.

Mavis looked like she was broken, and it was obvious that the fact of getting pregnant and having a child had caused too much of a shock to her mental state, which was still the ghost of a young girl.

But soon, Mavis came back to her senses, her expression became gentle, and her body seemed to begin to glow.

Ciel knew that it was the light of motherhood, and Mavis must be feeling sorry for the son she had never met.

Just by listening to Charles' narration, she could feel the loneliness and solitude that Auguste felt as even his parents didn't even know of his existence and he spent so much time alone.

Ciel nodded secretly. This was the situation. As a mere Magic King, Ciel didn't believe that his heart of stone could withstand Mavis's maternal love.

That was why, after Ciel had helped Mavis to truly revive her as requested, he set out to cause trouble for the Golden Dragon.

The concept embodied by the Golden Dragon is the ability of "alchemy", which is a mysterious system parallel to magic.

The core of alchemy lies in transformation, which is to convert matter, energy, and even illusory existences such as soul and concepts into each other by paying a price.

Alchemists generally focus on refining a certain thing, which is very similar to wizards.

However, for wizards, as their magic power is consumed during battle, the power of their magic will also decrease. However, since alchemists follow the laws of alchemy, the efficiency of their magic will always remain the same.

However, because of this, the output efficiency of the alchemist is locked by the law, and he cannot burst out power beyond the limit like the magician. In short, both have their advantages and disadvantages.

The current Golden Dragon is the concept of alchemy itself, which means that as long as alchemy exists in this world, he is immortal.

If you want to solve him, you must transform him from a conceptual state back to the entity.

It sounds difficult, but in fact, Ciel, who has read the original story, already knows the specific strategy process.

First, he persuaded Athena to stand on his side, and then found the "real" Duke who had hidden his identity and asked him to refine the Philosopher's Stone.

Finally, Athena fused the Philosopher's Stone, and let Wendy use advanced additional magic, using it as a medium to materialize the Golden Dragon into its original state, and then smash it to pieces.

The Philosopher's Stone is a very famous thing in the magical world. After all, the Philosopher's Stone, which can turn stones into gold, is the thing that best embodies the essence of the "gold" refining system.

Charles recently heard that the Philosopher's Stone is still in the world of the dungeon. According to legend, the Philosopher's Stone refined by the great sage Fels has the ability to bring the dead back to life. His main god was shocked by the effect of the Philosopher's Stone and chose to destroy it.

In the Fairy Tail world, the Philosopher's Stone is also regarded as the ultimate work of alchemy and a legendary secret treasure. The fact that it can materialize the conceptualized Golden Dragon is enough to prove its value.

And the only one in this world who can forge the Philosopher's Stone is Duke, the world's number one alchemist.

Actually, the final hammering is the easiest thing.

However, there will inevitably be side quests along the way, such as the group of alchemists who helped to defeat the Golden Owl.

So Ciel handed the task over to Lucy and others who were traveling with him. After all, it was Lucy who helped Athena return to the right path in the original plot.

So Charles broke into the enemy's base camp directly - the Golden Owl, the first alchemist guild located in the city of Philan, southeast of Kiltina, and waited until the mechanical girl left before taking action.

Looking up at the owl symbol on the castle, Ciel could feel something staring at him.

The feeling was very strange. Neither the magic sense nor the breath sense could detect anything, but Charles's hair stood up in an instant.

"A conceptualized golden dragon?" Charles raised his eyebrows and kicked the door in front of him away.

As Charles expected, he saw a group of alchemists waiting in the hall.

"Oh, it's so lively!"

Leading the group was a man wearing a neat and elegant coat, a black scarf draped over his shoulders, his hair tied in a braid at the back of his head, and an eye patch on his left eye.

It is the clone created after the conceptualization of the Golden Dragon, and it is also the phantom of the concept itself, Duke Barbaroa, the president of the Golden Owl.

There were quite a few people standing behind him, but Charles only recognized a few of them, including a skinny man with the word "broken" tattooed on his face, and two people dressed like island kabuki and ninja.

They are the alchemist Sai, and the source and steel created by Duke using human alchemy.

Duke said slowly, like a nobleman from somewhere: "Welcome to the Golden Owl, I am the president Duke!"

Ciel raised his palm and interrupted, "Don't be polite. I'm not here to make friends!"

A small fry jumped out and said, "How dare you be so arrogant in front of our president? I must teach you a lesson today!"

"The chirping is so noisy!"

Charles had no patience to listen to this standard minion speech, he took a step on the ground, and black and red electric light exploded!
A large group of alchemists rolled their eyes, foamed at the mouth, and fell down.

Duke's eyes narrowed. He was the embodiment of the concept "Duke" and had Duke's memories.

Even though he was Eleftheria's disciple and the number one alchemist, he couldn't tell what kind of power Ciel was using.

He released a wave of domineering aura to clear the field, and the only people left standing were a few people whose names were in the original plot.

So Charles took the second step, and this step crossed the Hall of the Golden Owl and came to Duke.

At this moment, a thick smoke spread over and engulfed Charles completely. Duke's figure also disappeared in the smoke.

"Iron × Smoke Refined·Invisible Iron Scythe!"

Facing Ciel, Gennai and Steel dared not underestimate him and jointly launched alchemy.

A large number of black shadows flashed in the smoke. They were flying sickles made of steel, flying quickly around Charles.

Charles didn't move, letting the sickle fly over and hit him.

The steel sickle melted and deformed instantly when it touched Charles' body, just like ice cream exposed to the sun.

This is what a high-level magician is like. Magic has been integrated into their lives and their bodies are imbued with magical power.

What's more, Ciel is a dragon slayer, his skin has long been as white as fire dragon scales, and mere steel can't break his defense!
Gennai and Gangtsu naturally saw this scene as well and their eyes widened. They had always been proud of being alchemists and looked down upon wizards.

But no one told them that there were such monsters among wizards!
Then they saw strands of flames released from Charles' body, forming a fire tornado that burned all the smoke and sickle into nothingness!
"Is this all an alchemist can do?"

With scale patterns appearing at the corners of his eyes, Charles walked in step by step, and the shadow of a giant dragon roared behind him.
