The ancient dragon of Arknights

"Yah! It's done!"

Neltharion could be said to have jumped three feet high, extremely excited.

"Try this again."

Nessario opened the window - the scenery of the Royal Guards Academy was revealed into the room, and the lazy sun set its own warm sun in winter, shining through the bare branches and shining on the melting snow on the ground.

"Gust! Listen to my orders!"

Neltharion, who was extremely excited, no longer cared about whether he was right or wrong, he just wanted to see how far he could go - and as he called, branches, flags, weather vanes, and clothes hanging to dry all began to fall. It's fluttering, the wind is coming.

"Nice!"

Neltharion clenched his fists and waved them in the air. Although he has not yet mastered the ability to rub the storm and wind blades with his hands like the steel dragon, he will definitely be able to do it as time improves.

"I......"

Boom - Neltharion wanted to say something more, but before he finished speaking, he felt his vision fall backwards, and finally the black horn smashed the floor.

'Eh? '

What's happening here?Neltharion struggled to get up, but at this moment, there was a feeling of weakness in his limbs; followed by a huge gurgling sound from his stomach.

Neltharion is hungry!And extremely hungry!

"Damn..."

Afterwards, Neltharion climbed to the cafeteria with all his strength despite the weak buff.

Logically speaking, the afternoon time period is not dining time, and the canteen should not be open.

But the Royal Guards College is extremely resourceful - the canteen is open all day until lights out.

Therefore, Nesario enjoys the full range of services from dozens of chefs.

There are a few students who have very large appetites, and the chefs in the cafeteria have long remembered them. Although it is torture and tiring to cook for them, watching the fruits of their labor being wiped out with happy faces, The vanity of being a chef was greatly satisfied at that moment.

Several chefs prepared meat for eight people according to the usual portions, but this time, Nesario was not full.

"Not enough! More for ten people!"

"!?"

"Gah! With such a terrifying appetite, what else can the chef do to resist!?"

So, with half a month left before the start of the second school year, Nesario once again set a record.

That is the record for the big eater—a record that probably no one will be able to break in the next few decades.

After eating and drinking, Nesario calmed down and began to analyze the reasons.

"The law of conservation of energy. In the past, high temperature, muscle explosiveness and sustained power were already very high consumption; now - the strong winds that affect or even control nature. This consumption will not be a small number..."

Neltharion realized that he had to change the way he replenished his energy - ordinary food could no longer satisfy his consumption.

But Terra is not a new continent - the new continent is full of outstanding people, and the life energy of the entire world is extremely rich.

The flowers and plants on the roadside, those with mild properties can be used as elixir for making bones and flesh, while those with more explosive properties can be used as materials for weapons and traps.

The creatures in the wild are even bigger than the others, and the energy of the Dragon Crystal Land has even overflowed and condensed into gems.

Chapter 134 The Prototype of Taboo

"Gem? Yes...there is this one too."

Neltharion suddenly remembered a past incident - he was infected by a high-energy stone liquid, and fragments of the Origin Stone penetrated his body. As a result, he was not infected with the ore disease, and there was not even a trace of Origin Stone residue left in his body.

Combining the law of conservation of matter and the original rampage of the Nergigante gene - Neltharion could probably guess that it was the Nergigante part that decomposed the Source Stone in his body.It even used this energy to come out to breathe, and even casually killed a few Sakaz mercenaries.

"Can I master this power now?"

Neltharion was so excited this morning that his attention was completely absorbed by the Steel Dragon's ability, and then he got to work without even having time to check his body's condition.

Well, you have to take a look to feel reassured.

Neltharion quickly returned to the dormitory, and he quickly took off his shirt - his healthy body was reflected in the mirror, but unfortunately the thorns and scales of the Nergigante were still there.

"Sigh... It's not that simple after all. I thought that when I woke up, the Nergigante's elements had completely succumbed."

Neltharion sighed, and was about to put on his clothes and give up the meaningless struggle - but as if sensing its will, the scales and thorns that emerged instantly retracted, and they gradually disappeared under the skin, even Not even a trace was left.

"This......!"

Double happiness!

"Steel Dragon, Nergigante - they all belong to me!"

The power of double ancient dragons is at hand!Now, even if the Duke takes action himself, Neltharion will not be afraid.

"But this energy consumption..."

Neltharion tried to feel it - he tried to grow thorns on his arms. After a while, several white thorns broke through the skin and drilled out.This process looks quite scary, but it is the effect on the enemy.

"I remember that I still have the ability to regenerate..."

Neltharion took out the fruit knife and tried to make a cut on himself to see his recovery ability.

As a result...the fruit knife broke, and he couldn't cut his skin open.

Whenever he stabbed it with a knife, the originally soft skin would immediately harden - a change that seemed unable to turn off on its own.

After experiencing it several times, Neltharion understood the essence of this ability - the Nergigante's regenerative shell and the Steel Dragon's exoskeleton were both hidden under the skin.

"But this hardness is probably only effective when the Nergigante's ability... The bones of the Steel Dragon should be as hard as steel."

After searching in my head, I came to the conclusion that the Steel Dragon's inheritance stated that the Steel Dragon's exoskeleton was also obtained by eating minerals; according to the memory of the Steel Dragon, it had even seen people become confused due to eating too much gold. The specific body of golden armor.

"That means the Shotetsusheng event has been revived, right?"

The erosion of the Nergigante was erased, and the biggest crisis in Neltharion's heart was lifted, while those threats with lower priority - such as the Duke's gaze, Victoria's alert, etc.

To be honest - Neltharion doesn't take them seriously anymore!

Although he is currently unable to fully exert the power of the ancient dragon due to lack of energy, the Duke and the military can still kill him by sending many high-level combatants.

"Just in time, let's go meet El Cat and Wei Na. You need to know how to share a good mood."

After Neltharion packed up, he set off on the road to Sadien District, a road he had traveled countless times this semester.The guards even knew him. From the beginning, they didn't like him and wanted to catch him once. Later, when Nesario was commended, he gained the respect of the guards - at this moment, they could even nod to show their goodwill.

"Neltharion, are you finally going out for a walk?"

"Ah, I'm almost getting rusty from being in school."

"Hey, why didn't you see that Feilin girl today? Did you have a fight?"

"She must be busy with something. After all, she is an honor student."

After being transported by the city's railway, Nessario set foot on the streets of Sadien District - there was still snow in a few corners not exposed to the sun, and the road surface was wet and slippery, and most of the surrounding shops had also withdrawn. Something related to winter.

The bakery displays the furnace, and the gentle firelight bakes the bread thoroughly, and also makes passers-by feel a little warm. Finally, the freshly baked bread will completely defeat the defense, making people willing to go in and consume; there are also many coffee shops. It's steaming freshly ground coffee and milk tea, and everyone is happy to warm up in winter.

Nessario was completely different - he walked into a dessert shop and ordered an ice cream.

"Sir, are you sure you didn't make the wrong choice? It's winter outside now."

"It's cold and melts slowly."

"..."

Finally, Neltharion left with a strange "Thank you for your business."

He was already eye-catching because of his racial characteristics and appearance. Now he has added something new - someone actually eats ice cream in the cold weather.

"The Glasgow gang...are here."

Nessario looked up - the decoration outside the boxing gym had become more gang-style, with various graffiti and words written on it. Unlike other graffiti that affected the city's appearance, the one outside the Glasgow Gang was obviously made by an expert. , it not only does not affect the city appearance, but even constitutes a unique scenery, which can be selected as a filming location for movies.

"good afternoon!"

Nessario pushed the door open, and then saw Vina, Indra, and Morgan surrounding the fire.

"Lighting a fire indoors? It's a bit too much."

"Oh! Isn't this Neltharion? Come on! Freshly baked pizza."

Indra handed over a takeout box - there were still two pieces of pizza left in it, and it looked like pure Syracusan style.

"Thank you, I've eaten. How was it? What to do afterwards."

"Thanks to you, the guys from the Will-O-Wisp Gang retreated quickly. I heard that their headquarters was attacked."

Morgan expressed his gratitude for this, because the battle with the Will-o'-the-Wisp Gang had caused heavy losses to the Glasgow Gang, who had finally started to make profits, and they almost had to go back to eating potatoes every day.

"What happens after that? Has anyone else entered your territory?"

"Yes, but the master asked us not to interfere."

Indra pouted. Although there were no accidents afterwards, she was very unhappy about others running wild on her own territory.

Neltharion turned his attention to Veena.

His eyes were inquiring, asking Wei Na if she knew the identity of the other party.

Wei Na, who was too lazy to lie on the sofa, nodded slightly, indicating that she was fully aware that there was nothing extraneous.

Chapter 135 Farce

"Neseario meow! Long time no see!"

"How is your body? Has the part of the Nergigante increased?"

"..."

The three kittens had different reactions. The Artisan Cat and the Scholar Cat were younger, so they were very active and restless. They were also very worried about Neltharion's "injury".

The follower Meow is quieter. It has rich experience and mature heart. For this kind of injury that is difficult to erase, all it can do is to do its best when Neltharion needs it; verbal care can't do much. , and sometimes even hurt each other.

"Good news - I have temporarily controlled Nergigante's cells. Look -"

Neltharion rolled up his sleeves, and then several white thorns grew under the curious eyes of the three kittens.

"Wow! It's Nergigante's ability! It's so amazing!"

"N-Neltharion! Can you let me take a closer look?"

Although he was still applying, Scholar Meow had already taken out a magnifying glass and started to observe carefully; obviously, the fallen Nergigante thorns on the ground could not satisfy the scholars' desire for research. What could be more attractive for research than a living Nergigante? Object?

Of course there are.

"It's more than that - come, look at this 丠."

Neltharion raised one hand - as he thought, the originally calm airflow in the room began to stir. Fortunately, Artisan Meow's stove was still burning, and the airflow was very warm.

"Is this...the power of wind?"

Meow, the follower, could see the reason for this change at a glance. There are many dragons in the dragon clan that can use the wind, but most of them do it through specific body tissues. And like Neltharion, he can control the wind with just one hand. Case......

"Steel Dragon?"

"Correct answer. But currently both can only do this. Because of the lack of minerals, I haven't grown iron armor yet; and the lack of energy prevents me from using the two abilities freely, especially steel. Dragon’s, its ability consumes too much energy.”

Both the Craftsman Cat and the Scholar Cat were dancing and celebrating, while the Follower Cat was calmer. It realized that Neltharion was in an incredible position at the moment - once his energy problem was solved, he would become a A unique and powerful hunter!

"How do those ancient dragons maintain such a large amount of energy output?"

"Well... the difference between you and Gu Long is probably Long Yu."

"Long Yu? What is that?"

A new term suddenly appeared. Since Follower Meow judged it this way, it was probably the problem.

"Because you don't need monster materials to make equipment, I didn't teach you this. Now, the tutorial begins!"

"Oh!"

......

After some teaching, Neltharion understood what "dragon jade" was. Simply put, it was the magic stone commonly found in monsters in fantasy stories.

In order to maintain a high output of energy, the ancient dragons must have an extremely powerful energy storage function - that is dragon jade.

Rather, in the world of monsters and hunters - any monster of sufficient age may produce dragon jade, which is a pure high-energy collection; weapons made with dragon jade can usually restore most of the monster's abilities during its lifetime. .

"So, because I am not old enough and the energy I input is not enough, there is no dragon jade in my body?"
