Joshua naturally knew Hei's gender. As a warrior, how could he not know whether the horse beneath him was male or female? Although he never thought how a mare could have such good spirits, it was just the way it was, who knows what happened.
But the most important question is whether Heiji has a gender after his bloodline awakens.
In Mycroft Continent, the bisexual ecology of male and female, male and female, is not a universal truth. It can only be said to be common. Let alone half-energy life forms such as elemental life. In fact, in the entire multiverse, gender is not Growing things is a strange and rare phenomenon. There are countless life forms and races that can reproduce, divide, and proliferate by themselves. Even in the world of Mycroft, the legendary primitive elves and earth dwarves in ancient times have no such thing as gender. Yes, one of them comes from the falling leaves of the Tianyuan Divine Tree, and the other comes from the sparks splashed from the earth's molten core. These powerful creatures with long and long lives have no need for offspring, so there is no need to mate and reproduce.
Of course, such myths and legends are not necessarily correct. After all, elves and dwarves live in this world now. They have historical records of their ancestors. Some overly exaggerated legends are easy to falsify, but these have been passed down for a long time. The information also proves something.
That is, in ancient times, some extremely powerful creatures had no gender and no need to reproduce.
For example, Gulong.
Reproduction is to better extend one's life, and offspring are equivalent to a part of oneself. Mating, gestating and cultivating offspring is equivalent to continuing oneself, and it is also the instinct of all life.
But for the ultimate life form like Gu Long, it's different.
Because they are powerful, they do not need society and relationships. They do not need to reproduce and can live well by wandering alone. Because they can live forever on their own, offspring are also unnecessary. Their power is so terrifying that Just existing can leave a deep imprint on heaven and earth—even a race.
Yes, it’s race.
The little snakes on the seashore evolved into sea dragons that command thunder, and the lizards in the mountains turned into overlords that soared into the sky. On the earth, in the sky, and under the deep sea, countless originally weak creatures gained the power to wander between heaven and earth. The gift of the oldest and most powerful creatures frees them from the shackles of their own life. While being infected by their breath, they gradually move closer to the almost perfect life form of the "prototype".
Although some ancient dragons also have genders and leave bloodlines through reproduction, the Black Refining Dragon is not one of them. Most of its bloodlines are similar to those of demonized creatures infected by the abyss. Breath-infected other creatures are passed down.
Therefore, the ancient dragon is the prototype of all Warcraft. The bloodline of any Warcraft that climbs upward will eventually return to its original origin.
Black is very lucky. What it awakens is the power of the longest and most powerful bloodline that has spread to ancient times, but this power is undoubtedly changing its form.
But Joshua was not thinking about these complicated things. In fact, his idea was very simple.
"If there is a gender."
The warrior stood at the window, frowning and thinking: "Isn't it possible to breed and artificially create and refine the blood of the black dragon?"
He nodded slightly, then took a notebook from the table, took the quill from Rin who quickly handed over the pen, quickly wrote something on it, and murmured to himself: "It's worth trying , next time ask Hei if he is willing."
At the same time, Hei, who was absorbing heat and fire elements in the lava pool deep in the Great Ajax volcano, suddenly froze. He felt that he was being targeted by a great malice, and the whole dragon was in bad shape. For this reason, it shook its body, quickly floated up, and turned its head back and forth alertly to look around, trying to see if there were any powerful monsters around that could wander in the lava pool.
But nothing was found. In the huge underground cavity, there were only black rock passages created by Joshua's walking, and a faint blue hole suspended in mid-air. On the other side of the hole, a faint light could be seen, with vegetation. The fresh smell came from it, completely incompatible with the lava pool.
After a while, after some doubts that the feeling just now might be an illusion, Hei slowly sank and sank his body into the magma again. The core of his chest shone with a strange halo, flowing like the sun. Average color.
Although it has not awakened any bloodline memories, Hei knows that the current environment is very suitable for it. As long as it continues to absorb the surrounding energy to nourish itself, it will not be long before it can take a further step.
Joshua, who was in the main city of Moldavia, after thinking deeply, temporarily gave up on the nonsensical idea of artificially refining the black dragon bloodline - if the ancient dragon bloodline could be obtained so easily, ancient dragons would have been flying all over the world. Those are powerful monsters that are born with soul and power integrated into one. Their "inherited bloodline" is not only the body, but also the sublimation of the soul. If Hei did not fight with him in the black tide, he would be driven back and forth by the power of chaos and order. It is impossible to awaken this kind of power through erosion and purification.
After erasing the plan he had come up with a few minutes ago, and now that the matter in the mysterious area at the bottom of the Great Ajax volcano has been dealt with, Joshua is now free. Then, he can prepare well to go to the Imperial Capital to participate in the extermination. It’s the orcs’ celebration party.
Although the banquet is boring, it is also his responsibility as a lord and an obligation as a noble. Moreover, this kind of banquet can be regarded as an open communication opportunity provided by the empire. You must know that without communication, he will not be able to communicate with other people. Once the territory reaches a trade agreement, the development of the territory will slow down. For this, Joshua needs to make a lot of preparations.
For example, a well-fitting dress.
Warriors have many powerful armors, especially the old dwarf who has completed most of the special magic armor. Although only half of it is made now, it can be seen how strong and powerful the complete body is, but this kind of thing It cannot be worn at palace banquets, no matter how handsome it is. Now Joshua asked Verdani to contact several master tailors from a century-old shop through the countess's relationship, and asked them to come and make it for him. A well-fitting gown.
Sitting at the desk, he sent magic messages to the other lords of the four northern territories, informing them that the threat at the bottom of the volcano had been resolved. As for the subsequent detailed reports—except those related to the time and space gate—that would be sent over in a few days, Joshua discovered that someone was contacting him through the communication circle.
Nowadays, there are only a few people who will take the initiative to contact him, Brandon, the Royal Mage Association, His Majesty the Pope, Verdani... But at this time, there is only one person who is so leisurely.
After turning on the communication circle, Joshua touched his chin. He sat on this side of the desk and said to the other party curiously: "Master Nostradamus, it's so late and you don't deal with the trivial matters of the academy. Why do you want to see me? Want to talk?"
On the other side of the communication circle, a somewhat tired projection of Nostradamus appeared.
This white-haired old mage is in the principal's office of Wintercastle College. He is wearing a suitable blue and black robe. He looks like a mage with a powerful and mysterious temperament. However, this feeling is caused by the other person's behavior of rubbing his temples. It was destroyed. After hearing Joshua's voice and seeing his projection, Nostradamus showed a weak smile: "You are still so energetic after returning from the volcano. It's great to be young, Joshua."
"You're not bad either, Master."
Joshua ignored the other party's tired face and said directly and simply: "Seeing that you don't have the energy to talk much, let's talk about business directly."
"you're right."
The old mage looked convinced. He sighed, and then said succinctly: "In two days, I am going to leave for the imperial capital. Do you want to go with me?"
"Transmit directly." He added, and to demonstrate, a blue space-time fluctuation appeared in the old mage's hand.
For this matter
After thinking for a while, Joshua felt that Nostradamus's opinion was good. The warrior was very happy that the other party could think of him at this time, and was even a little touched, so he simply refused: "No, Master, thank you. opinion, but don’t use it.”
He said slowly: "I have other plans."
