Chapter 307 True Dragon
Dr3713-04-22, eleven o'clock in the morning.

"How old are you?" Layton asked after Iron Slag sat down.

"21." Although Tie Slag was reluctant, he answered honestly.

"Very young." Layton sighed, although his wording was a bit better than that of the fourth daughter, but the contempt in his tone was not less.Then he asked, "Young man, what is your occupation?"

Tie Slag thought for a while and replied, "The person in charge of the fortress."

"Which fortress is in charge?" Layton asked subconsciously.

"No. [-] Desert Tyre Fortress, Bottomless Abyss Contemplator Fortress." Iron Slag replied, although he hadn't taken up the post yet, it was still a default decision.After all, in front of his future father-in-law, he still has to elevate his social status so as not to be looked down upon by their Xiros family.

"Well, the person in charge of the fortress, your job is not bad..." Layton nodded thoughtfully and said.

"It's okay." Tie Slag nodded modestly.

"Wait..." Layton suddenly frowned, as if remembering something.

"Huh?" Tie Slag replied with a puzzled expression.

"What did you just say?" Layton asked.

"I didn't say anything?" Tie Slag couldn't help but want to roll his eyes. The startled and surprised characters of the two father and daughter were simply printed in the same mold.

"Your last sentence." "Desert No. [-] Tyre Fortress, Abyss Contemplator Fortress." "One more sentence." "The person in charge of the fortress."

"You said you were the person in charge of the Fortress of Tire in Desert No. [-] and the Fortress of the Contemplators in the Abyss!" Layton stood up abruptly, repeating with a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes." Tie Slag nodded solemnly.

Layton sat down slowly, thought for a while, and then asked, "Aren't you picking up trash in Iron Mountain Town? Why did you change jobs?"

"This..." Tie Slag scratched his hair, not knowing how to answer.

"My lord father, that happened when I was a child." Sirius interrupted and reminded.

"Oh..." Layton nodded suddenly, and then asked again, "Young man, what is your current annual salary?" Although the question was very sharp, his tone was much better, and he was no longer angry. .

"No... I don't know..." Tie Slag rubbed his forehead. Regarding the issue of salary, he really hadn't discussed it with the boss.

"Father, the income of the commander of the fortress is calculated as a percentage of the total profit of the fortress." Sirius' explanation was like sending charcoal in a timely manner. Iron Slag couldn't help but glance at her and cast a thankful look.

"That is to say, the income is not bad?" Layton asked.

"It's okay." Iron Slag replied.

"You and Nana have known each other for six or seven years, right?" "Yeah." "Nana is sometimes self-willed." "Yeah." "You guys get along pretty well, right?"

"Do you guys sleep together occasionally?" "Yes." Layton asked coldly, but Iron Slag nodded without reacting for a moment.

In an instant, a sudden change took place, and the originally amiable Layton suddenly blushed, like a raging lion, all his white hair stood on end, and suddenly punched Iron Slag in the face.At this moment, in the pupil of the latter, the fist the size of a brick is getting bigger and bigger.At the very moment, Tie Slag tilted his head and narrowly avoided the first punch.

Immediately afterwards, the second punch followed.Tie Slag let out a muffled yell, raised his hand to block it, and parried the second punch.The next moment, the moment Layton withdrew his right fist, his body arched slightly, and then he took a step forward and threw out his third punch like a broken bamboo.

At this moment, Iron Slag, who reacted extremely quickly, grabbed Layton's old fist with a soft "snap" sound.

"You bullied someone else's daughter, and you still won't let someone beat you..."

Hearing Sirius' strange voice, Iron Slag didn't pay attention, was punched in the face by Layton, immediately rolled and flew a few meters away, smashed into the newspaper rack, and slammed into the glass with unabated momentum In the cupboard, shards of glass splashed everywhere...

Seeing this, Layton's face suddenly changed, and he stepped forward to check quickly, but saw Iron Slag crawling up again, then he laughed and said, "Young people are really impatient, you should pay attention to exercise more."

"You're right." Iron Slag shook the broken glass on his body, echoing against his will.

At this moment, the butler came to the living room and told him, "Master, Master, Miss, lunch is ready."

Seeing this, Iron Slag was about to leave, but Lei Nuo waved to him and said, "Come on, let's have lunch together."

Afterwards, Tie Slag followed the three of them and the butler to the restaurant and sat down.At first glance, the food on the table can only be described as average.On the one hand, since the ingredients that can be grown in the Northern Wilderness are limited, they are basically imported from other continents. It is not easy to eat something good and fresh; Got picky.

What's more, although the Xiros family is the head of the four major families in Sand City, it has only risen for a few hundred years, so the family background is not rich, and Iron Slag has known this for a long time.Among other things, it can be seen from the wine on the table.Just now, Tie Slag picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The taste was very familiar. It turned out to be Li Qi·VSOP...

Of course, he is not a distinguished guest, and the Xiros family does not have to entertain him with good wine, but Li Qi VS and Li Qi VSOP are cheap wines that marines usually drink, and it is indeed a disgrace for a big family up.

During the meal, Iron Slag took out the communicator and dialed the entourage of Sparrowhawk No. [-], asking them to send over two boxes of Kraken red wine and one box of Pope cognac.

After seeing the wine, Layton told the housekeeper to take it away, and said with a straight face, "Young man, don't waste your money. As the saying goes, good steel should be used wisely."

"Yes." Tie Slag nodded in response, his attitude was quite sincere, but the slander in his heart was already indescribable.

After lunch, Layton came to the study with Iron Slag, closed the door, and chatted alone.Layton first poured a glass of wine for Iron Slag, and then talked about Lina.Three years ago, Lina had a conflict with the four holy ranks of NO.13 Yincheng, and then wrote a letter to her family, saying that she would go to the endless sand sea. Since then, she has never returned home.

Knowing that there was no news of Lina at Hiros' house, Tie Zha pondered for a while and asked, "Why is she hiding, and what is she hiding from?"

"Nana..." Layton hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, exhaled heavily, and said, "She is a dragonformer."

"Dragon Transformer!" Although he had already guessed it, Tie Slag was still taken aback when he actually heard the news.It didn't take long before he gradually recovered from the shock, and he couldn't help sighing, "I thought that the Dragon Transformer was just a legend."

"No, there are always dragonformers..." Layton took a sip of his wine and continued to explain.

In the past hundred years, there have been three dragonformers in Silver City World, and Lina Eucrese is the third of them.

The Dragonborn is the highest form of human atavism.According to legend, whenever a world is facing destruction, the Dragon Transformer will appear.They will tear the void at their last moment, taking the gene of the species with them.However, the current world of Silver City tends to be stable, at least the power users do not "perceive" the crisis of extinction.

According to the analysis of scholars, the abnormal phenomenon of the Dragon Transformers in this world is due to the existence of the "illusion of the end of the world".

The so-called doomsday illusion is the illusion of space turmoil caused by human beings plundering the resources of the alien plane through space cracks, and under the influence of the conservation of space energy density, the energy of the original plane is lost in equal amounts.

To put it simply, the world of Silver City is like an egg with a cracked shell today, which makes people feel shaky.But in fact, because of the connection of multiple planes, the Silver City World has become a transfer station for energy. The excess energy can be discharged in time, and the lack of energy can also be replenished in time. Not only did it not cause turmoil, but it became more stable.

Thus, under the birth of the illusion of doomsday, the Dragon Transformer was born.However, Dragon Transformers are existences born for the end of the world. They will instinctively absorb the energy floating in the air, and eventually evolve into a "true dragon form".

However, once the real dragons appear in the world, the space around them will be in an extremely unstable state and will be broken at any time.Therefore, their final destination will be the high-level planes in the carbon-based life interval, such as the bottomless abyss, the mirror sea, and so on.

However, since the Silver City World is located in the middle of the carbon-based life range, free energy is not abundant.Therefore, it will take at least a thousand years for a dragonborn to evolve into a true dragon form.

"According to you, Lina doesn't need to hide herself at all. Even if she threatens the world, it will be a thousand years later." Tie Slag interrupted and analyzed.

"From a common sense point of view, this is indeed the case, but..." Layton continued, "I don't know why the last two dragonformers have disappeared. This is top-secret information, and only the people at the top know the reason. "

"When I discovered that Nana had the characteristics of a dragon transformer, I checked a lot of relevant information and touched some secrets of the temple, but my authority is very low, and there are very few information I can look up, so in order to protect her, I asked her to hide her strength and hide in Iron Mountain Town." Layton paused, took a sip of wine, and said, "For nearly a hundred years, the temple has been looking for dragon transformers, and there must be something wrong with them. It's a secret, so..." Layton sighed, and said, "You don't need to look for her, if one day, she will appear naturally when she wants to appear, but before that, we will let her live Live a carefree life…”

Speaking of this, Layton said solemnly: "This is my request, Layton Hiros, as a father."

Iron Slag was stunned for a long time after listening to Layton's words.Finally, he took a deep breath, nodded to Layton, and left the study with heavy steps.

When he walked out of Hero Manor, Hillman chased him out, put his hand on Iron Slag's shoulder, and asked, "Brother, do you really work in the bottomless abyss?"

"En." Tie Slag nodded.

"Take me, I want to go too." Hillman begged.

"Huh?" Tie Slag asked suspiciously.

"As Nana's man, you can't..." Hillman said with a long voice, threatening, "Reject your uncle's request."

"This..." Tie Slag hesitated.

"What's more, I helped you just now. People can't be ungrateful, right?" Hillman asked back, then patted Tie Slag's shoulder, and promised, "Don't worry, I'm a very powerful psychic Or, I won’t hold you back.”

"How many steps?" Tie Slag asked casually.

"This..." Hillman leaned close to Iron Slag, spread his index finger and thumb, hinting.

"Eighth level!" Tie Slag looked sideways with a serious expression.

The uncle shook his head.

"Seventh step?" Tie Slag asked, spreading his index finger and thumb, it was either eight or seven.

The uncle immediately showed a mysterious smile and said, "Tier two."

"You..." For a moment, Tie Slag choked on the other party's brazenness and was speechless.
