The ancient dragon of Arknights

"Give Neltharion my share...I couldn't do anything to help him, and I let him get hurt so badly."

Ceria did not choose to accept it. He only played the role of a victim in this incident. Although the shadow of being bullied did exist, she believed that it was nothing compared to the injuries suffered by her brother.

"But, sister, your car..."

Nessario thought that at least the car that Ceria liked should be repaired. The loss was not worth mentioning in front of this compensation, but that was not a loss that could be measured in money. It belonged to Ceria. Effort.

"I've fixed it."

There was fire in Seria's eyes - if the car broke down, she would fix it, and if she was bullied, she would fight back.

Chapter 8 Originium Arts

Nesario's injury was not serious, and he recovered within a day or two after applying medicine on time.

Why did he choose to go home?

Of course it's because I don't want to go to class.Isn't it normal for students not to like class?At present, the teacher's teaching progress cannot keep up with Neltharion's own learning progress. Going to school is a big waste of his time.

Of course, another reason is to calm down the subsequent impact.

The story of him fighting one against three will spread, and many people will definitely come to ask him about his specific situation, and there may even be little brats who think that he is their big brother.He was not interested in such troubles.

The clear sky is as clean as if it had been washed by water. When you look up, there is neither dazzling sunshine nor heavy dark clouds - today is a rare good weather on the continent of Terra.

Nessario was currently active in the busiest urban area of ​​Tikalendo, and Senat gave all the compensation to himself.

You can save money, but you can't save it all. It's best to turn it into something that can help you in time.

Neltharion's purpose is to find things that can help with dreams - the experience last night was very thrilling, and Neltharion had a hunch that it would definitely not be the last time.

You can't just surrender, you must have countermeasures!

But this goal is so elusive.

Dreams themselves are just the subconscious behavior of humans during sleep - Neltharion is unique in this situation.

"That's right! Subconscious! What happened in the dream didn't harm me... maybe there is hope."

Neltharion thought of a possibility, that is, there is spiritual power in dreams. He should not let fear occupy his dreams, but should control them.

In an unknown store on a commercial street

Nesario opened the door. There was no customer in the store, and it seemed a little deserted.Compared with this bustling commercial street, it is really weird.

"Welcome! Oh? Excuse me, young gentleman, is there anything I can help you with?"

The only clerk looked up from the counter, a very intellectual Ms. Karipuni.

The long black hair is very neat and smooth, and the thin-framed glasses on the face form an erudite temperament. The brown horns extending from the top of the head are coiled together, and the dark black dress has a Gothic design.

"Sister, are you a witch?"

Neltharion asked in a tone that was very suitable for his age, and the child's childlike words naturally did not make the lady feel wary.

"Yes. Little sir, my dress is inspired by Letanita's wizard style. How about it? Isn't it very scary?"

"No, I think my sister is very beautiful."

"Hahaha..."

This is the good thing about children. They are born with the effect of reducing hostility. After all, who wouldn’t like a cub that is sensible, obedient, and sweet-tongued?

"So, young sir, what do you intend to do when you visit the witch's tower?"

The appropriate small talk ends here, and business cannot be delayed.

Neltharion looked around - there were staffs and Originium skill release units hung on the walls of the store. In addition, there were many display counters with many strange things placed inside. It’s something that plays a role technically.

"Sister, I've been having nightmares recently. I'm wondering if Source Stone skills can help me solve this problem."

Neltharion tried his best to look frightened, hoping to make the woman in front of him pity him.

"Nightmare? It is true that there are Origin Stone skills that can affect the spiritual level, but that kind of spell is not allowed to be used privately because it is too harmful. I'm sorry, Mr."

Alas--it's true.

Neltharion did not place his hopes on this aspect. The Origin Stone skills were just paving the way for the next plan.

"Are there any books teaching Originium skills?"

"?"

What's the deal with such a sudden turn?

Miss Witch was a little confused, could it be said that all children's ideas jump like this?

"Well, little sir, why do you want to learn Origin Stone skills?"

Miss Witch has received many people who want to learn Origin Stone skills, including students, mercenaries, and even urban white-collar workers.

But this is the first time for such a young child.

"Because I want to make myself stronger! Then nightmares won't scare me."

"..."

Source Stone Technology: After the material Source Stone was discovered, scientists discovered that it is not only an efficient energy source, but also that people can use it as a medium to cast various instructions to change the original properties of matter.This technology also has aliases such as "spell" and "witchcraft".The form, intensity, effect, etc. of the Source Stone skills released by a person are usually affected by talent and acquired training.

Most of such unique powers are used in warfare, such as the famous armored warlocks of Ursus, the Golden Law Guards of Leitania, etc.

In short, Origin Stone Skill is a power that allows people to move closer from mortals to "gods".

On the continent of Terra, almost all of the powerful warriors and mercenaries have the ability to drive Source Stone skills.

However, some unique Originium techniques can indeed be used in other fields, such as healing, construction, and planting, especially in Colombia, a country that has deeply researched the application of Originium.

In many social institutions, there are special people who drive Originium technology to replace traditional technology.

Thinking about it this way, Neltharion's purpose is not surprising.

"Little sir, the use of Origin Stone skills cannot be achieved by excellent teaching. What it requires is talent and corresponding equipment."

Origin Stone skills are not a piece of cake. If ordinary people want to learn, they must have their own staff, and a good quality staff is usually not cheap; it will also require more investment in the future, such as daily training, theoretical research, etc.

Of course, there is a saying that is right - the rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation.

There is not only one way to awaken the Origin Stone skills. There is also another way to become an infected person - part of the body is assimilated by the Origin Stone, and one's own life is overdrawn to gain the ability to use the Origin Stone as an arm. However, becoming an infected person is not a good thing.

"I brought money."

Nesario slapped several large Colombian gold coupons on the table. Seeing this scene, the witch lady stopped talking.

In the end, Neltharion succeeded in getting what he wanted - "Introduction to Originium Skills" and a small Originium Skills trigger device.

The former systematically explains the knowledge about Source Stone Skills, such as how to imagine the feeling of triggering Source Stone Skills, precautions for Origin Stone Skills, etc.

What Neltharion needs is the more idealistic method of imagination.

As for the Source Stone skill triggering device - it is made of processed Source Stone. If Neltharion can trigger it, it means that he has the talent of Origin Stone skill.

But this thing is of little use to him, after all, he doesn't really want to learn Origin Stone skills.

"Consider this a gift for your sister. She should be very interested in Origin Stone skills."

Chapter 9 Fight the monster again

"Sister, I bought this today and gave it to you."

Neltharion placed the Originium Skill Triggering Device in front of Ceria, who was resting. She had just returned from the gym.

She has made up her mind that she will never be bothered by her own cowardice, and a hard fist is just her first step.

"this is?"

"A small Originium skill triggering device. If you can light it up, it means that you are qualified to use Originium skill."

"Origin Stone Skill!? Neltharion, this is expensive, isn't it?"

Seria naturally knows what the Source Stone is, the most common energy source on the continent of Terra, the cornerstone of all modern industries, and the source of suffering and blood.

"It's nothing compared to that compensation. Sister, haven't you always been interested in Originium skills? Have you ever imagined what your Originium skills look like?"

Everyone's Origin Stone skills are unique. Some simple Origin Stone skills can be mastered through acquired learning, but their effects are far less powerful than what they are born with.

Neltharion was very curious about his Origin Stone skills, but he obviously did not have more energy to devote to learning the Origin Stone skills at the moment.Another reason is that he has a hunch that his ability is not in this way.

"Neltharion... this is a designed device. Its effects have already been set, so you cannot know your Origin Stone skills through it."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Neltharion really didn't know enough about Originium skills, while Ceria wanted to know more about it because of her own hobbies.

"However, I accepted this gift."

Seria accepted the gift.

Neltharion looked at his sister who was slightly lost in thought. Ceria seemed to be a little different... In the past, her tone would have been more cowardly.

'Finally, he's looking good. Yeah, he's a teachable boy. '

His sister has grown up, and Neltharion is happy for her.

As daily chores come one after another, time continues to pass, and night finally falls.

Neltharion had already read through "Introduction to Originium Techniques" during the day, focusing on the feeling of how to use Originium Techniques. He read it almost without revealing a word.

"Origin Stone Technique changes the original properties of matter through Source Stone, so its changes are still within scientific rules. The flame needs to burn, the energy consumed by burning, and the light and heat generated all need to be imagined. So when learning Origin Stone Technique You must have sufficient knowledge reserves before starting, this is a compulsory course for every warlock. The more powerful the Origin Stone technique is, the more physical energy it consumes, so physical training cannot be left behind."

The warlocks of Terra simply don't fit the traditional image of the word "mage"!

Don’t mages increase their mana through meditation, and then learn more powerful spells to cast spells?They are usually weak in physical strength but extremely powerful in attack, so they need the protection of human shields.

The warlocks of Terra are not like this at all, okay? ?

Not only do they have abundant physical strength, but each of them even has a doctorate. A simple Originium skill may become extremely magical with the blessing of scientific knowledge; a warlock with strong martial arts may be able to design a staff. weapon shape, then fireballs while slashing.

Neltharion became more and more curious about what Ceria's Origin Stone skills were like, and hoped that she could show off her skills.

In his wild thoughts, Neltharion fell asleep without realizing it.

......

Whoosh whoosh - the pungent wind blew through Neltharion's body, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

Towering stone walls, dark environments, growing weeds and fungi - they're back!

Neltharion looked around and saw no traces of bones, scratches, or footprints.

This place was probably not the monster's lair, and Neltharion still had time to straighten himself out.

“Imagine, imagine — what the fire looks like, and then shoot it.”

Neltharion closed his eyes - as time passed by, his imagination became more and more perfect, getting closer and closer to reality.

"!"

Feeling a surge of heat in his palm, Neltharion opened his eyes - a burning fireball was launched from his palm!

"Success..."

The guess was successfully verified. This space can indeed be affected by spiritual power, but... the effect is too poor!

The fireball spell that Neltharion successfully cast had no power at all, and it dissipated immediately after hitting the stone wall.

The fireball can cause a huge explosion after being launched, which is a plot only found in fantasy works; how can an explosion be caused by the lack of explosives! ?

"Is this what you call 'being under the rules of science'?"

No... Those powerful warlocks can cast the "Fireball Technique" as powerful as a meteorite. There may be two reasons why Neltharion cannot do it: insufficient physical strength and lack of corresponding knowledge.

'Squeezing the flames together would probably produce more power...but how to compress the flames? '

More importantly, it took too long to activate this move. This time was enough for the monster to kill him several times.

"I need to change my thinking. What I need is something that can last forever. For example... a weapon?"

Just do it.

Neltharion began to imagine himself covered in armor and holding a... great sword!

They are made of steel, with leather used in some places, and the whole body shines with an iron-grey light. The armor is designed to fit the body shape, and the length, width, and thickness of the sword...

As the details continued to be perfected, Neltharion felt his body sink. He felt like he was going to be crushed at this moment!
