Chapter 2968 Hot Potato

*************************************************** *************************************************

I brought the skeletal dragon staff to the black room of Akara, and Kane happened to be there. I was so happy that I took out the staff mysteriously, ready to see the surprised expressions of the two old people.

This is the help of a person in the extreme realm. A guardian like Urric can be the most powerful person in the alliance. However, he is only in the realm of perfection. He is still one step away from the extreme realm. I know him. Among people, only the Immortal with Hairy Legs may have reached the limit.

It is conceivable that Akala, who devoted herself to the alliance, would go crazy with joy after learning that she had the help of the Skeleton Dragon.

Indeed, when Akara and Kane saw the Skeleton Dragon Staff and heard the possibility I expressed, they smiled happily, but they were not as happy as I imagined.

What's going on? Could it be that the two of them are planning to retire, and their enthusiasm for the alliance has faded a lot?

Unable to hold back the questions in my heart, I spoke directly: "Grandma Akara, Grandpa Kane, you don't seem so happy?"

"Otherwise, how do you think we can be happy?" Akara smiled, his cloudy eyes slightly narrowed.

"Well, at least I can spin around in circles a few times excitedly and shout [the alliance is finally saved]." I thought about it and realized what I expected.

"You, it seems that without this staff, the alliance is hopeless, but you are still the savior." Kane pointed at me with his crutch, dumbfounded.

"Yes, yes, I am not enlightened enough. Tell me why. This is a strong man in the extreme realm. Even I can beat him. If he is brought back, he may be called the savior." On the head."

"Dear Wu, this joke is not funny at all. Do you think the strongest can be the savior? In that case, we should have given the title of savior to Lord Galen long ago."

Sure enough, in Akela's mind, the Hairy Leg Immortal should be one of the best in the league￡≦￡≦￡≦￡≦, m.≠.c⊙om?

"Don't worry, listen to me and explain slowly. I don't want to hear any more nonsense from you." Kane stroked his white beard, and his kind eyes gradually became serious and sharp.

"First of all, you are too optimistic. Although the name of this staff is called the Staff of the Skeleton Dragon, it does have an attribute called Undead Control. However, these two factors alone do not guarantee that it will be able to control the bones. Dragon.”

"I think the situation is very clear now. You don't know how anxious the giant skeleton dragon was when the Red and White Princess got this staff back from the Land of Bones. She went straight to Hell Mountain to follow me. Had a fight."

"Okay, okay, there is a 70-80% chance of this, so just think that it can indeed control the giant skeleton dragon." Akara paused and continued.

"But, dear Wu, the staff can control the skeleton dragon, and we can use the staff to control the skeleton dragon. The two are completely different. You can't confuse them."

"Why?" I was dumbfounded. Since the staff can control the skeleton dragon, why can't we use the staff to control the skeleton dragon? These words made me dizzy.

"There are no limiting attributes on this staff." Kane looked at the skeletal dragon staff carefully for a few more times and exclaimed in admiration.

"Because of this, the results are even more unpredictable. If the conditions are limited, such as the user's identity and occupation, or the attribute strength must reach a certain level before it can be used, this will make people feel a little more at ease."

"Yes, for example." Akara also nodded slightly: "If a child with no power to bind a chicken gets it, can he control the giant skeleton dragon with a cane?"

"I understand what you mean." Under Akara and Kane's explanations in turn, I felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on me. My heated brain gradually cooled down, and I began to re-evaluate the properties of the staff in front of me in a more calm manner. value.

"There is no free lunch in the world. If you want to get something, you must pay and have the corresponding ability to control this kind of thing. Dear Wu, there has never been a mortal who can become a strong person overnight. Never, you This must be kept in mind.”

"Yes...yes." The continuous flow of cold water made me depressed.

"The attack is enough here. Although it will never be easy to control the skeleton dragon, it does not mean that there will be no chance." Seeing my pale expression, which looked like I had fallen from heaven to hell, Kane smiled kindly. Then, he took a sip of milk without losing the opportunity to restore my blood.

"Yes, yes, as long as you think carefully, there is still a chance. After all, God has sent us this key. All we have to do is find this door."

Hearing what the two said, I regained some confidence: "That's right, but why do you still look so worried?"

"Really? It seems that as people get older, they even lose the ability to conceal themselves." Kane touched his old face and expressed his sadness at the deterioration of his acting skills.

"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore, dear Wu, do you know what this staff means?" After Akara smiled, his face turned serious. The drastic change in the painting style made it hard for me to accept it for a while.

"What...means?"

"Putting the question another way, what do you think of the Skeleton Dragon? I mean, what kind of existence do you think it is?"

"Do you even need to ask? That guy is an undead bone dragon." I frowned and thought, Akara couldn't possibly ask such a simple question. What kind of answer did she want to hear from me, such as a giant bone dragon? Characteristics and the like?

If we look at the biggest feature of the Skeleton Dragon...

"By the way, this guy can also transform. Although he looks like a giant dragon, according to evil... ahem, according to Rena, not a single bone in his body is a dragon bone at all, it is just forcibly pieced together with various bones. of hybrids.”

When Akara nodded slightly, I knew I was in love, so I quickly asked, is there any problem?

"Wu, you just mentioned a very key word, forcibly pieced together, that is, who put it together. It should be explained in this way."

"What do you mean..." I was speechless, vaguely understanding what Akara was thinking.

"Yes, it was just a suspicion at first. Now, with this staff as more powerful evidence, it is basically certain that the skeleton dragon was pieced together. More accurately, it was created."

"Impossible, it is extremely powerful!" I kept shaking my head. Neither rationally nor emotionally, I could not accept this kind of thing. The thing created was already stronger than me. What was this?

"Wu, calm down. Maybe the Skeleton Dragon wasn't that strong when it was first created. It went through a series of mutations and evolutions that led to its current appearance and strength."

"That's right, that's what I thought too."

"Moreover, if you want to create such a powerful skeleton dragon, you don't just need to piece together some bones. Important materials must be used, such as... the soul of a giant dragon."

"Yes, that's right, the evil dragon Rena has indeed passed away. Although not a single bone in the skeleton dragon's body is a dragon bone, the fluctuations in its soul are somewhat similar to those of a dragon, but not exactly!" I admire Akara to death. Since then, Accurate information can be guessed from crude intelligence.

"Okay, now we have two pieces of good news. First of all, the created skeleton dragon is not that strong at the beginning, and it is not easy to create such a skeleton dragon. It can even be unique." Kara concluded.

"However, there are also two pieces of bad news." Kane, who turned into a professional who throws cold water, suddenly spoke.

"First of all, the fact that the created skeleton dragon can reach this level means that it has the ability to grow, that is, other [works] created by its creator may also have this ability and can continuously improve themselves. .”

"Secondly." Kane moistened his lips with difficulty: "Although according to our speculation, it is very difficult to create an existence similar to the skeleton dragon, and the materials are extremely precious, but it does not mean that it is completely impossible. Even if you can find If there is less than the soul of the second dragon, what about the soul of the angel? The souls of other powerful creatures may be used instead."

Hearing Kane say this, I felt chills in my heart, and subconsciously thought of the powerful enemy I encountered when I first arrived in the third world - the Skeleton General, Ghost's father, who seemed to have similarities with the Skeleton Dragon.

"So, thinking about these things, even if we can finally get the skeleton dragon, we won't be happy." Akara echoed Kane's words, smiled bitterly, looked at the sky outside the window, begged and prayed, and muttered to himself .

"What a terrible enemy we have to face."

"Isn't it too late to be pessimistic now? We have come this far, and we have new hope. There will never be a better situation than this." Kane patted Akara on the shoulder, his expression firm.

"Of course, I have never given up. When I just took over the position of Great Elder and everything was waiting to be done, I didn't give up, let alone now." Akara's expression quickly calmed down and he patted his head. The back of Kane's hand indicated that it was okay.

These two old men supported each other and led the alliance to this point. Knowing the difficulties, I can't help but feel sad at the corners of my eyes. I am touched and grateful. They have paid too much for the alliance.

"Okay, okay, there's no time to be sad. Let's get this staff again." Kane looked at the Skeleton Dragon Staff in his hand again.

"I think this staff is probably a controller created by the guy who made the Skeleton Dragon to control its pets. There should be no doubt about it."

I shook my head. Now that I am certain that the giant skeleton dragon was artificially created, there is no need to question the origin of this staff anymore.

"The question is, why does it appear in the territory of the skeleton dragon instead of in the hands of its owner?" Kane suddenly asked me.

"This...could it be that the giant skeleton dragon counterattacked and killed the master who controlled it?" I blurted out, then smiled and shook my head, rejecting my own words first.

Because the owner of this staff, the owner of the giant skeleton dragon, is almost certain that it will not be easily counterattacked.

"It seems that you have guessed who the owner of the giant skeleton dragon is. Yes, it is the only one. It is mysterious and unpredictable. It is one of the four demon kings that even the three demon gods are extremely afraid of. Bei, the great demon king of illusion and lies. Li'er, only this incomprehensible devil would do such a ridiculous thing as casually throwing away the staff that controls the skeleton dragon."

"Perhaps, there is also such a possibility. For example, the giant skeletal dragon doesn't obey orders. Even Belial, who made it, couldn't make it obey with the control staff in his hand, so he threw it and the staff away. To the side?”

I rubbed my chin and guessed it. After all, you see, the giant skeleton dragon is mentally retarded. How can a mentally retarded person understand human speech? No matter how smart a person is when it comes to a mentally ill person, there is nothing he can do.

"Well, this possibility is not ruled out, but we cannot be blindly optimistic." Akara responded from the side.

"For example, if your guess is correct, since even the maker, Belial, can't control the skeleton dragon, why should we hold this staff and just want it to obey our orders?"

"Everything is correct." I said discouraged. Unexpectedly, I thought I had picked up a huge surprise, but I didn't expect it to be a piece of junk.

"There is another thing we have to guard against. Even if we successfully control the skeleton dragon with the staff, God knows if this is Belial's conspiracy. It also has a higher priority control method for the skeleton dragon. When the time comes, the skeleton dragon can be secretly controlled. If you turn against us, it will be bad."

Damn it, it can still be like this, but it seems to make sense. If the opponent is that Belial, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.

"Then what should we do now? Is it better to shelve it?" Looking at the Skeleton Dragon Staff, my eyes are like seeing a hot potato. I no longer have the excitement I had before. Well, let's go back and teach a lesson. Princess, let her pick up the trash.

"It doesn't have to be so extreme." Akara thought for a moment and then replied with a smile: "We can still give it a try. If we can really control the skeleton dragon, don't be happy and just take it back. Let it continue to stay. In the Land of Bones, he is also a good gatekeeper, so if anything happens, he will be able to respond in time."

"Yeah, that makes sense." In front of Akara, I only have the upper hand.

"In case it cannot be controlled, doesn't this staff have another attribute? If it can exert a good effect, I think it is also a good weapon for the summoning necromancers. It would be a pity to shelve it. "

"Then... I'll leave this staff to you two, Grandma Akara and Grandpa Kane?"

Seeing that the two old men seemed to have an idea, I scratched my head and said sheepishly, they used to always cause trouble for me, but now I occasionally cause trouble for them, it shouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Go, go. It's a rare time for you to come back and spend more time with Vilas and the others. Our two old bones can still come in handy for some things."

Akara waved at me angrily, and I smiled and saluted the two old men. I was afraid that they would give me something to do, so I turned around and ran away, going home to accompany the girls...
