Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 59

The body structure of the male silver dragon is very special?

But Gaby is not a male silver dragon, even if she switches to dragon form, she is still a female dragon.

Xuexian asked like this.

"I mean, it's all related to the mark." Gaby didn't say any more, but said gently, "Xue Xian, you are too young, you will be scared."

Xuexian immediately understood what was going on, and her face flushed red.

Gaby thought he didn't know, but he already knew...

When Isar was trying to build a nest with him, he had already seen how scary the thing looked when it reacted, and understood what Isar was trying to do with it, and I have to say, it was really scary .

Was it all about that?

Xuexian didn't want others to know what happened to them, and he didn't want to discuss with Gaby how he escaped, so he skipped this topic.

However, he probably got a message in his heart, that is, the marked human beings also seem to have the ability to switch forms.

Why not have all aberrants be flagged?

Xue Xian fantasized about that scene for a moment, and felt that it was even more terrifying, so he stopped thinking completely.

They walked along the plank road and walked back to the opposite side of the lake.

Zhuo Yao, who turned into a dragon form, skipped across the night sky, and a huge silver shadow was reflected on the lake. The dragon fell into the forest, and soon a tall naked man came out and stood there far away.

Zhuo Yao was waiting for Gaby to return to their house.

"After a while, when Isar is an adult, you can choose another place to live." Gabe pointed in a direction, "There is a nice house there, with more space than the one you live in now. I heard that Isar Er likes to be alone, and it happens to be quieter there. Then you can go with him to see if you like it."

Xuexian looked in the direction she pointed.

Among the shadows of the trees, there is a small two-story building. Part of the outer wall has been dilapidated, but the original beautiful outline of the building can be seen.

"It was the residence designed by the architect who designed Perseus for himself and his wife," Gaby said. "They have been away for many years, and no one has lived in it. It takes a little work to restore, but..." She said to Xuexian smiled, "That's your future home, it doesn't matter if you spend a little time."

"Take your time, you still have a long, long time."

After speaking, Gaby and Xue Xian waved goodbye and walked towards Zhuo Yao.

Xuexian stood where he was, and looked at the small building for a while.

Future home?

Xuexian didn't have the concept of "home". He turned his head and saw the lights in Gaby's house.

What is home?

Xuexian didn't think about it before, he only knew that Mier would take turns with other people, twice a month, because she needed to "go home".Every night, Dr. Bai will leave after finishing his day's work, because he also wants to "go home".To put it bluntly, Xuexian thinks that the temple might be his home, but there are no parents waiting for him to eat together in his home, no one who is always waiting for him to go home.

"Ow—"

There is a dragon roar on the other side of the lake.

Xue Xian looked over, although he couldn't tell where his little dragon was, but he could easily recognize its voice.

The little dragon was a little excited, returning to its group was the real return to its home.

Xuexian closed his eyes, and could feel Xiaolong's happiness and freedom now.

He also quickly adapted to life in Naha.

Here, there is delicious and filling food, a safe and warm residence, no need to worry about sudden attacks by wild beasts or mutants, and no need to worry about being alone. There is a little dragon by his side, so he can do whatever he wants, even facing the sky It's okay to be in a daze all day.

This is simply the most ideal place to live that Xuexian has found since he was exiled in Longyu.

Even better than what he originally had.

Life is simple.

Except for Gaby who would chat with Xuexian and ask him to go out together, almost no other dragons came to visit.Tammy often lazily basks in the sun on the platform, Zhuo Yao and Victor take the little dragon out to hunt every day, and Fei Ze spends all day in the research center.

Fei Ze's health is very poor, he can only eat very little food, Xue Xian has never seen him smile, but he is the person who talks to Xue Xian the most.

While standing on the top floor of the research center, Xuexian discovered a large circular metal ball device behind the building: "What is that?"

"The energy hits the field," Fezer said.

"what for?"

"When doing antibody research, it was used to stimulate human beings who turned into dragons to reshape." Fei Ze also looked there, "The light energy plate will absorb the energy in Theia, and impact the experimental body with high intensity. It will be discarded soon gone."

Xue Xian nodded.

Since it was soon discovered that those who were turned into dragons by the research could not turn back into humans, there was no need to continue.

"It's kind of weird." Fei Ze once said to Xue Xian, "Your telomeres are very short."

Seeing that Xuexian didn't understand, Fei Ze said: "Let's put it this way, telomeres are located at both ends of DNA, and they get shorter every time a cell divides, and they get shorter and shorter as they grow older, until they can no longer Supporting the division and replication of cells, organisms age or die."

Xuexian: "So I will grow old or die soon?"

"No, you're so young," Fezer said, "and you have a particularly high telomerase activity. Telomerase repairs and lengthens telomeres, increasing the number of cell divisions."

Xue Xian was a little dizzy.

Fazer: "These two contradictory things are present in you at the same time, so I find it very strange."

Xue Xian understood what Fei Ze said next.

Fei Ze: "In addition, I found that part of your genes is very similar to ours, and I think this is why you are not affected by the distortion."

"With you?" Xue Xian asked, "Silver Dragon?"

"Ah."

"Then I'm a dragon?"

"Of course not." Fei Ze said, "They may have changed the research direction and just made some combinations."

When he was on the Misius, Xue Xian had some doubts because the AI ​​test results did not match what the temple told him. Now that Fei Ze said so, he is not very surprised or hard to accept.

He just made sure that he was by no means the chosen one selected from the gene pool of the inhabited continent.

Xue Xian is too calm, Fei Ze has never met a human like him.

But soon Xuexian asked a question Fei Ze hadn't expected: "Can you find out why I can affect other people's distortion? If we can find out, then can we find a way to pass it on to others."

Xuexian didn't delve into how he was formed, but just thought about whether there was a way to help more people.

Fei Ze shook his head lightly: "I don't know. I have limited abilities, so I can only try. But what I want to tell you is that since your human academy of sciences has not promoted your "transformation", but only If it is used to cultivate the Holy Son, then there must be some reasons why it cannot be realized."

Xue Xian also understood this truth, so he didn't force it.

What he did with Fei Ze was more like just chatting and passing the time.

"In a few days, I will find someone to go to the Mitheus together." Fei Ze said, "See if I can connect to the gene bank data there and compare it with yours."

Xuexian: "With Isar?"

"No." Fei Ze lowered his eyes to look at the instrument screen, "with Victor, or Zhuo Yao. Use the map you made to mark."

Fazer and Isar don't seem too close.

However, Fei Ze always stayed here, and he was not close to anyone.

Xue Xian stayed with Fei Ze for a while, Fei Ze knew a lot, and he didn't rush to do anything, Xue Xian felt very peaceful when he was with him.

For a while, Fei Ze suddenly started to cough violently, Xuexian poured water for him.

"Why do you still study these things?" Xue Xian asked, "Why don't you take a good rest?"

After Fei Ze recovered, his lips were pale: "Because I don't know when the next awakening will be. There are too many variables. I want to use the limited time to do something useful."

Xuexian: "What variable?"

Fei Ze said: "There are many variables. As long as the distortion continues, there will be no real peace between humans and dragons."

Xuexian thought of those scout boats and the dragon's nest mark in the notebook, but couldn't refute Fei Ze's words.

They fell into a long silence.

One afternoon, Xiaolong took Xuexian to see its latest lair.

It was a hole in the mountain, next to the lairs of other male dragons, it wasn't too big, but it was located very high.

The lairs of other male dragons are covered with hay and decorated with some special stones. The lair of the little dragon is bare and clean, with nothing in it—it is always hunting, or staying outside Xuexian’s house, Every night until Xue Xian said good night to it, it would go back to this cave to sleep.

It's like for it, this place is just a place to close your eyes and take a nap.

When Xuexian came to the lair, Xiaolong flew into the lake and caught a fish for Xuexian.

It pushed the fish over with its paws, and looked at Xuexian with bright golden eyes.

Xue Xian recognized that it was the fish that Xiaolong had caught for him in the cave before: "Tu Tuduo! You still remember this kind of fish!"

"Yuka."

It touched Xuexian with its kiss.

Then he opened the scales on his body with a "swish", drying out the water vapor.

Xue Xian picked up rocks anywhere as before, shaved the scales of the fish, dissected the belly and washed them clean, then picked up branches, let the dragon spout flames, and baked the fish on top.Long sat obediently and waited, his eyes became round and round.

It turned out that just like him, it still missed the previous life.

The simple and crude grilled fish is delicious for everyone.

After eating, Xue Xian stayed in the cave, curled up under the little dragon's wings, and took a nap with it.Xiaolong loosely embraced his human being with his dragon wings, bent his slender neck, and rested his chin on Xuexian's hair.

But there are always dragons disturbing their dreams.

Those male dragons are very curious about Isar's Yuka, and they probably don't quite understand why humans can be dragon's Yuka.From time to time, they flew over the entrance of Isar's lair, and when the wind blew in, the little dragon always bared its teeth and let out a low growl.

When playing, it is willing to be with them.

But when it is with its own Yuka, it doesn't like to be disturbed.

So the little dragon fell asleep, stared at the cold golden pupils, crawled out of the lair and fought with the dragon outside.

won.

Xuexian rubbed his eyes and sat up, Xiaolong lay down in front of it, handed over the huge head, and let Xuexian see a shallow scratch on its scales coquettishly.The deep-sea fish Xiaolong preys on every day has sufficient energy, and the wounds on his body from fighting with the evil dragon in the valley have already healed as before, and the broken bone spurs have also grown back. Xuexian was surprised by their rapid healing ability.

"It's all healed." Xue Xian stroked its head, "Such a small injury, it will be fine soon."

Xiaolong: "Huh?"

How did its humans change?

It turned over, screaming "woo-woo" in its throat, and its wings rubbed against the ground, revealing its belly.

The aloof Xiaolong began to play tricks.

Xue Xian was licked by the dragon, and smiled and pushed him away. After they played for a while, somehow, he noticed the masculine characteristics of the little dragon.Compared with the human form, that thing seems to be more ferocious.

Thinking of Gaby's words, Xue Xian jumped up in fright.

Long also sat up inexplicably, shaking his head.

In the evening light, Xue Xian's face was as red as the sunset: "..."

Long bowed his head and looked at him quietly.

The two shadows dragged on the ground for a long time.

There was smoke in the distance, Xuexian turned his head and said doubtfully, "What's wrong there?"

Xiaolong also looked into the distance.

"Tutuduo, let's go and have a look."

After Xuexian finished speaking, Xiaolong leaned over and let him climb onto his back, and flew out of the nest with wings flapping.

In the outer circle of the emerald green ring-shaped extinct volcano, there are shoals connected with sea water.

Dragon-shaped Victor and Tammy are here to deal with carrion floating up the shallows.

The body of the deformed body was still packed in the broken water speeding boat, and it didn't know how long it had been floating with the sea, and it came here from the other side of the coastline.Viktor breathed out dragon fire, burning the body with the water speeder, and that's where the smoke came from.

Xue Xian slid down from the dragon's wings and came to the fire.

Tammy told him to back off a little. "It smells bad."

Xuexian shook his head.

The sea water beat against the shallows, making a clattering sound.

It was getting dark and the fire was bright.

Xuexian stood there, solemnly singing the requiem.

Tammy said nothing more.

After the end, Xuexian asked Tammy: "Do watercraft come here often?"

"Occasionally," said Tammy, "not often."

Xuexian: "How could it have drifted so far?"

Tammy said to him, "Because of the eddies on the bottom of the sea. Fizer said that some watercraft sank into the center of the vortex and were smashed up, and some didn't. If the direction of the current changes, some of these things will follow the current." Floating around."

The carrion brought by this water speeder broke Naha's tranquility.

At least for Xue Xian.

He asked, "All the people inside are dead?"

Tammy: "It's been too long, they're all dead. Impossible to live."

Xiaolong stood behind Xuexian, leaned over and touched his face, Xuexian hugged its head tacitly, closed its eyes, it understood how he felt at this moment.

"There is nothing to miss." Tammy looked at Xue Xian with her slender vertical pupils, "Human life is short, and they will die one day, not now, but also in the future."

The war has ceased, and the dragon and the human are standing in two worlds respectively.

On the other side of the Black Sea, the suffering of human beings has nothing to do with dragons, and coming here occasionally is just a small episode in their long lives.

Some dragons who went out to play have returned.

They flitted across the sky in groups and wanted to return to their lairs.Those dark red, cyan or brown-black dragons reminded Xuexian of sad, desperate, joyful or awe-filled faces.

Those who stayed in Perseus, are they freed?

Xue Xian couldn't draw a conclusion.

He looked at the scorched ashes in front of him, and thought of those people who were prostrate outside the temple, full of hope, holding the snow-white weary bird flower in their hands.

Xiaolong sent Xuexian back to the plank road, and said goodbye to him after being intimate for a while.

Xue Xian walked back to the small red house where he currently lived through the flickering street lights.

The giant clam pearls that Long gave were still on the table, next to them were a vase of flowers, a jug filled with drinking water, and the biscuits that Gabe and I made during the day.Xuexian went to take a shower, the hot water was intermittent, and then it stopped altogether, so he dried himself and went back to the attic.

"Zi...Zi..."

There was a strange electrical sound, followed by a faint human voice.

"His Royal Highness...the supply station..."

Xue Xian searched around the house, and then confirmed that the sound came from the backpack.

The radio communicator Moulton had given him rang.
