As she spoke, the silver dragon girl on the canopy continued to hold her hands behind her back, looking a little embarrassed. Princess Sophia stood side by side with her on the canopy. They were about the same size, but had beautiful faces with different characteristics. The latter looked more calm and stable, and the tens of thousands of years hadn't changed their relationship.
"I can see that the old human being who was with you just now has an extremely powerful curse on him."
Anastasia said.
"Huh? Can you see it?"
I thought she would talk about some knowledge outside the material world, but I didn't expect the secret mentioned to be this. Jenkins became emotional all of a sudden. It was the first time he heard about the clues about the old man's curse of immortality after he learned about the old man's immortality curse from his senior sister, Ms. Stewell.
"Yes, that's not an ordinary curse. It's quite ancient and rare. There are probably only some that can trigger this curse that you humans haven't even recorded... Do you know what artifact the source of the curse is?"
"key."
Jenkins said without thinking, and the barefoot girl immediately smiled:
"That's right. This weird thing probably doesn't have a corresponding number, because it can't even be recorded, and its name is [Evolution Key]. But be careful, we can talk about its name, but it's best not to This is said to mortals, and the name is also part of the curse."
The silver dragon girl warned.
"Evolution? Something to do with something in the red moon?"
Jenkins thought for a moment and asked again.
"No, although the calamity in the red moon is far more powerful than that key, the birth of the red moon was even later than the first time we met. And that key is more important than you when you travel through history and pursue Black Town. the first beginnings of creation, and earlier creations."
"Meow~"
Chocolate nodded, the key was indeed older than it.
"According to the legends I heard before, it is an extension of the original concept of 'evolution'. On the one hand, it represents the possibility of evolution, and on the other hand, it also gathers the resentment of those creatures, objects, and even invisible concepts that cannot evolve. This The key is a very horrible aggregate of sins, and it is said that it is hidden in a cave that moves randomly in the material world. I don’t know how the old human being who is with you got it.”
Jenkins couldn't explain the strange adventures of Papa and old Jack a few years ago. But now that he knew the source of the curse on his father, Jenkins asked the silver dragon girl how to get in touch with the curse.
The latter thought about it a bit embarrassingly:
"The curse cannot be lifted, it can only be passed on. That is to find a more powerful person to voluntarily replace the current holder to hold the key. The original holder will die within three days of losing the key. Will be forced to bear the fate of being cursed. This curse will evolve more and more powerful in passing on again and again, until the last holder can't find someone stronger than himself. After his death, the key The accumulated power will also perish until a new holder appears, and the evolutionary path of the key's own power will be opened again."
"In other words, the real function of that key is to repeat the evolution process again and again?"
"No, this is just its characteristic. As for the real function of the key, only the holder can know it. This is the rule of the key itself."
The silver dragon girl said regretfully, and Jenkins nodded, gaining a new understanding of the difficulty of this matter. According to Anastasia, the silver dragon, he really couldn't interfere with this in his mortal state.
But since the power of that key is less than the calamity in the red moon, he can probably help Dad in the state of God.
"Then just wait until it's all over, after I really save the world... I will definitely help Dad..."
Every drop of divinity now has to be preserved to deal with the final disaster, so it is impossible for Jenkins to use the divinity expected to be obtained from the Tulip Project here.
Although I can't do anything now, but at least I know more in-depth information, and know that the curse is not completely untouchable, and my mood on my birthday suddenly becomes better:
"The news was very useful, it really helped me a lot."
"Please don't say that, we should thank you. If it wasn't for your generous help at that time, we would not be able to stand here now."
Princess Sophia said softly, and then looked at the silver dragon girl who was looking at the scenery with her hands behind her back:
"Your help to us is something we will never end. This time we return to the material world, we need to do some things of our own first, but when you need us, we will definitely show up. Yes, when When the final day comes, Anastasia and I will return here to witness with you what will happen at the end of the eighteenth era."
This is the real "big gift". Although I don't know how powerful the silver dragon girl and the ordinary princess in front of me are, but according to the general principle that the longer you live in this world, the greater your strength, there is every reason to believe that they Will be the most powerful helper Jenkins has found so far.
I wanted to say thank you, but Princess Sophia stopped me again. One person and one dragon are about to leave soon to complete those unfinished things. Before leaving, the silver dragon girl gave Jenkins a gift. She just heard her father wishing Jenkins a happy birthday.
It was an amber pendant, which seemed to contain a centipede-like thing. Jenkins felt very familiar when he first saw it, and then he remembered that it was used by the silver dragon lord in the story of "Legend of the Dragon Slayer". Props for dragons to transform into humans.
He glanced sharply at the silver-haired girl, then at Amber already lying in his hand.
"This is the [immemorial amber stone], numbered B-01-5-0092 by the humans of my time. It has been so many years, and of course I have learned how to freely change into a human form—otherwise when doing something , isn't it very inconvenient?"
Anastasia said with a smile. Just as Jenkins looked down at the pendant in surprise, Princess Sophia blushed and patted the side of the silver dragon. A good mood caresses the clothes on the back in the breeze.
"Then see you on the final day, Redanput, I will definitely help you then."
After delivering the presents, he was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, I actually have another question... an impolite question."
Seeing the silver dragon girl holding the princess's hand, Jenkins said quickly, but his tone was hesitant.
"It's okay, just ask."
Yinlong looked at him curiously, and Princess Sophia also quietly waited for Jenkins to ask.
"That... Excuse me, is the Dragon Knight family in the human world related to you, is it... your descendant?"
Saying it, he realized that the sentence was even more offensive than he had imagined in his head, so he changed it again:
"No, no, no need to answer, just pretend I'm in a daze."
He said and patted his head.
"It doesn't matter, this is not an unanswerable question. Yes, it is indeed related to us, but it is not our child, it is a human child we adopted. Later, I gave her power, enough power to be passed down in the blood. You probably also You know, I found some... amazing things in Blacktown, so it's not like normal dragons."
The Blacktown-born cat yawned bored, looking forward to the cake Jenkins had promised tonight.
"The legend of the dragon knight probably started from that girl. Before Sophia and I left this land, the reputation of the dragon knight family was quite big... probably even more prestigious than when I was the lord, I think The Dragon Knight family you are referring to should be it."
After speaking, he took the princess's hand again and prepared to leave from here. But Yinlong stopped suddenly again, turned his head slightly, then tilted his head sideways, causing the beautiful silver hair behind him to also tilt slightly, with a child's mischievous expression on his face:
"Jenkins, why ask such a question? Even if two beautiful ladies did that, there would be no way to have a baby. Don't you know that?"
"ah!"
The princess who had always had a calm expression blushed, hid behind Yinlong and patted her on the back with her hands.
"Sophia, after all these years, you are still so cute."
Anastasia laughed, then cheerfully pulled the princess behind her into her arms, and kissed her forehead in front of Jenkins:
"Is this lady pretty—"
She also deliberately observed Jenkins' expression:
"—but it's mine!"
As he spoke, he took the princess's hand and jumped up, turning into a ball of silver light shining like the sun at the top of the crown of this giant tree. The silver light became bigger and bigger, until finally the light group stretched out, and the giant dragon that appeared covered the sun above the head.
The beautiful and elegant silver dragon covering the sun stretches its body, bathing in the sunlight of the material world. She raised her head, felt the breeze of the material world for a long time, her heart moved at will, and then let out a breathtaking dragon roar.
Flapping powerful wings blew up a huge wind, and finally "screamed" to Jenkins on the top of the tree as farewell, and then flew to the distant sky with the princess waving to Jenkins on her back.
Soon they turned into a silver point of light and disappeared.
There was a scream from far away in the evergreen forest, and several figures flew into the air to investigate the situation. After all, Anastasia, who had just revealed the body of the silver dragon, had no intention of hiding herself at all. Jenkins' face froze, and he threw away the not-so-good illusion caused by the silver dragon "molesting" him just now, then grabbed the cat, and ran towards the top of another adjacent tree like a monkey.
