Chapter 3769 Dragon Scale Amulet and the White Snake's Invitation
After the thirteen-ringed dragon finished speaking, it winked at Shad, who winked back. Sivi, who remained silent, kept smiling. As the most mysterious and powerful thirteen-ringed sorcerer in the entire material world, the "Summoner" had finally made a public appearance in this incident, naturally attracting much attention.
However, Xia De was the kind of person who disliked trouble.
"I see. I currently maintain a good friendship with the Witch Council. The witches also came from the mythological era. Perhaps you can communicate more with the council in the future."
This effectively shifted the responsibility to Miss Isabella.
Fortunately, this "Scroll Wings" didn't expect to reach any agreement with the "God Summoner" on their first meeting. Although there are many dragons on Dragon Island, in the eyes of this "God Summoner," who has called upon gods many times and is himself extremely powerful, dragons may not be the most valuable allies.
In particular, the rumor that the group of pointy-eared people who have considered themselves superior since the beginning of the mythical era directly offered up their elven queen—the crystal statue of the "Throne of the Elfs" in Vistalin—is a testament to this.
“Please accept this, Summoner. Although I have never witnessed your dragon form, this will surely be of use to you. It is a testament to our friendship, and serves no other purpose.”
The silver dragon handed over a scroll, which Shad accepted after a moment's consideration. He didn't open it immediately, but he could guess that it was a secret technique passed down among dragons. He didn't think he couldn't learn it. Now that his transformation form was considered his true form, and he had become a dragon, his race had truly transformed into dragons. There was no reason why he couldn't learn the secret techniques of dragons.
He was simply wondering if the dragons of Dragon Island could play an unexpected role in the upcoming story. Judging from the information given by the Witch Council and the results of the dragons' conversation with Mr. Albert, the number of dragons returning from Dragon Island was well into the hundreds, and the number of high-ranking dragons among them was quite terrifying.
However, the largest number of dragon eggs are now buried on Dragon Island. For unknown reasons, the dragons' reproductive capacity further declined in the Sixth Age, and most of the dragon eggs, even if they were born, were difficult to hatch.
Even with only the existing dragons, although they are not yet capable of overthrowing the order of civilized society constructed by the Five Gods Church, they are already a supernatural force second only to the Five Gods Church and the three major academies.
The light of dusk eventually spread out, but thanks to Iluna and her group's control, the casualties were not significant. However, the disappearance of a third of the city and the subsequent designation of Kaban City as a restricted zone will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the situation in southern Kasenric, something that cannot be predicted at this moment.
The resettlement of refugees and the control of public opinion were left to the church. At 4:30 p.m. that day, Shad returned to Fatummster Island with Sylvie and Ellie.
Claire met with Ms. Eden in the afternoon and seemed to have made good progress. After hearing from Shad and Sylvie about the current state of Cabon City, the Great Witches were filled with worry and unease. Their unease stemmed not only from the current situation but also from the fear of what kind of outrageous disasters might occur in the stories of the four chosen ones that were yet to unfold.
Shad returned to the ship and checked the scroll given to him by the silver dragon "Scroll Wings." As expected, the scroll contained ancient dragon language. This wasn't because the dragons wanted to show off their antiquity, but because many sentences and words would lose their original meaning after translation.
"The dragons really did choose the power that is most suitable for me."
After examining the scroll, Shad exclaimed in amazement. Sevier, standing nearby, asked:
"The power of the dragon combined with moonlight?"
"No, no, it's just a secret technique of the dragon race—the Mystic Art: Dragon Scale Amulet. The effect of this technique is quite simple: it involves taking one's own scales, imbuing them with the shield-like power they possess, and transforming them into an amulet that can be given to others or used by oneself."
For example, if I possess the [Heath Sign] and the [Nightfall Sign], I can craft dragon scales into amulets capable of unleashing these two magical spells. Crafting amulets only consumes spirit energy, and the amulet's spellcasting power is equivalent to my own; casting the amulet only requires mental energy. These amulets are not alchemical creations, but rather exist in a manner similar to spiritual weapons, their effects being more powerful and stable than alchemical tools.
If the number of amulets present wasn't equal to the user's level, then for me, the number would be equal to my level plus five, making this technique even more significant. I'm currently at the ninth ring, capable of creating 14 dragon scale amulets simultaneously. I can not only gift them to others but also use them myself.
The state of divine afterglow enhances the effects of some magical spells, which is why the number of amulets increases.
Sevi thought for a moment:
Can the amulets be activated simultaneously?
"of course can."
"In other words, if you carry all 14 dragon scale amulets and activate them all, it's equivalent to fourteen of you using the seals simultaneously?"
Sylvie also realized its value. Although the shield strength could not be a purely additive relationship, this magic was of great significance no matter how Shad used these dragon scale amulets.
Learning the Dragon Arcane Arts requires preparing materials, but the events of this Tuesday did not end there.
Shortly after Shad returned to Kyle-Todd, a white-haired, snake-eyed woman emerged from the thick fog that permeated the entire island and appeared in the Snow Mountain Hall.
The "snake eyes" that Mr. Snake used as his signature immediately caused a commotion, but the other party claimed to be the "avatar of the Snow Mountain Guardian" and delivered an invitation to Stella in a very official manner.
The letter states that, as the guardian of the snow-capped mountains left behind by the ancient god Mr. Ring, after the sixth act of the story, it invites all the current candidates who possess serpent molts to gather together to discuss the seventh act of the story of destiny.
The time is set for 7:30 pm tonight. In addition to the candidates themselves, they can bring two other people with them.
“Claire and I will go. Ms. White doesn’t seem willing to give us any special treatment under Mr. Ring’s rules. But even on a level playing field, we are definitely not at a disadvantage in the seventh act.”
At the dinner table, Shad said that the witches had no objections, but Dorothy asked:
“We never doubted that you would lose at cards. Even the person who was given a winning destiny by the snake could lose to you. I can’t think of anyone who could beat you. But the question now is, Shad, what role are you going to play in the story of Act VII?”
"Let's go to Ms. White's tonight to hear the story of Act VII before we decide. Winnie, has Ms. White said anything else to you?"
Shade then asked the ice maid standing behind his chair, who was cooling the champagne in the champagne bucket with her fingers, and the maid replied:
"Not yet. But I did tell it that we don't seek unfair favoritism, but it would be great if you could be directly involved in Act VII."
Ms. White's agreed-upon meeting times were always strange; last time it was dawn, this time it was night. But since all five candidates would be present, Stella certainly wouldn't refuse.
Since there was still some time after dinner, Shad took the curved beams the church had given him before dinner and went home to forge a batch of special bullets. Unlike the Prophet Association, which provided various carriers, the church only sought to imbue the bullets with destiny.
Forging these bullets didn't take much time, and this time the meeting with Ms. White wasn't at the icy lake in the north of the snow-capped mountains, but at the Peak of Destiny atop the mountain. As the main peak of Mount Fatumunster, it held extraordinary significance. Gathering the candidates for destiny there, Ms. White was also telling everyone that this story was finally coming to an end.
Because it was unclear whether Ellie would be considered a "person," the little unicorn wasn't brought along by Shad on this trip. Stella had recently begun to master flying, but she wasn't very good at it, and flying alone at night was very unsafe. So, that night, after the three of them passed through the portal from the ship and the Ice Castle, and emerged from Sylvia's tower to prepare for takeoff, Claire reached out her hand to her apprentice:
"Let me fly you. We're not far from the main peak; we'll be there soon."
Seeing that Stella actually hesitated and glanced at Shad, the Great Witch of the Sun couldn't help but feel somewhat displeased:
"Stella, what, do you think my flying skills are inferior to Shad's?"
"Teacher, I absolutely did not think that way."
Claire raised an eyebrow:
"Since you're not doubting my flying ability, then you'd rather have Shad hold you while you fly, right?"
The white-haired girl's face flushed crimson, and she stammered, unable to speak. Claire was pleased with herself for her small "revenge" on the girl's unexpected intrusion into the courtyard the previous night, but then she said:
"Stella, don't worry, I'm not like Galina. What I have, you'll definitely have too, so what's the rush?"
"Claire, what are you saying?"
Shad finally couldn't help but speak, while the Great Witch of the Sun laughed heartily:
"You know perfectly well what I'm talking about, but now's not the time to discuss that. Let's go; I don't want to be the last one to arrive. The story of fate has finally come to an end. Stella, you have to work hard. If you really become the chosen one, you'll definitely get everything you want."
She took her apprentice's hand and flew away. No matter how cold the night wind was, it couldn't make Stella's blush fade in a short time.
"The identity of the chosen one?"
Even now, she still doesn't have any real feeling about being chosen by fate. As her teacher pulls her towards the snow-capped mountains, and snowflakes fall before her eyes, Stella Larson suddenly has a feeling:
“I am not the one chosen by fate. I have resolved my inner conflicts on this island and made peace with my past self and my tribe. That is enough.”
But when she tried to decipher the trajectory of the falling snowflakes to determine who would be the most dazzling character on stage, she found herself only seeing a reassuring expanse of pure white.
"What does this mean? Could it be that the final chosen one is Ms. White, who appears in the form of a white snake?"
This is an even more outrageous idea than "turtle".
