The illusory light and shadow shattered.
Char stood up and removed his hand from the ruins of the royal court.
In the vision of the astral world, the huge wheel of fate also slowly stopped turning and finally returned to nothingness.
The golden dragon's physical condition had long been exhausted. The pollution from the fallen sun had completely corroded its body and soul, just like a cancerous cell, destroying all the original order.
At this moment, it is still able to move, and it is only relying on the powerful physique of the pure-blooded ancient dragon to hold on.
Even without this last fight, we wouldn't have been able to hold on for much longer.
Although Char was able to use illusions to temporarily suppress the madness of the Golden Ancient Dragon, he was not a beastmaster specialized in healing after all, and none of the pets he contracted had healing skills.
On weekdays, Char relies on the alchemical potions and secret vitality potions stored in his space pocket to recover and heal his injuries.
only--
...
...
The highest-grade healing potions produced by the Alchemy Association are barely adequate for healing human flesh and blood, but when used on an ancient dragon of the mythical creature level, they are like a drop in the bucket.
He had no ability to stop what was happening before his eyes.
Therefore, the only thing Char could do was to use the "Wheel of Fortune" to recreate the glory of the ancient Dragon King's Court.
Let this golden dragon have a good dream before it dies.
"Before you died, you used your last bit of strength to activate the blessing of the World Tree. I owe you a favor."
"They are obviously a dragon clan, but their calculations are not shallow... They don't look like dragons, but more like humans."
He smiled, and the mercury in his eyes faded.
"But your calculations have fallen into the air."
Given Char's character, as long as he makes a promise, he will definitely fulfill it.
Regardless of whether the golden dragon finally returns this favor or not, nothing will change.
His eyes moved slightly, and then fell on the night egg.
"The child of the Ancient Dragon King?"
He walked out step by step, then gently reached out and touched the dragon egg that seemed to be shrouded in night.
As Char's palm touched the sky, the thin night sky suddenly began to shimmer with starlight.
Char bit his finger.
Then, he let the crimson liquid flow down his fingertips and drip onto the night egg.
Tick.
Tick.
The blood outlined a bloody scale texture amidst the ripples of starlight.
This was different from the contract Char had signed previously.
In the past, he had signed contracts between master and servant, but this time, the symbol of the scales represented an "equal contract".
After all, this was a request from the golden dragon.
The content of the deal was for him to take good care of the child of the Ancient Dragon King, not to rule over him.
Compared to the master-servant contract where the master has an absolute advantage and the servant cannot resist even if the master orders the servant to commit suicide, the two parties in the equal contract are closer to the relationship of close allies.
The soul connection between each other will be closer, and both parties will be able to enjoy the blessing of the soul covenant.
However, it lacks the mandatory binding force of the master-servant contract.
The blood-colored scale suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling light.
Then, Xia felt that the thin night slowly enveloped him.
Strands of dark spiritual power emerged from the night egg.
In the spirit world, he came into contact with the gray-black mist that symbolizes Char's spirit, with a bit of curiosity and temptation.
Then, the gray fog that represented Char's spiritual symbol slowly intertwined with the star-studded night and entangled together.
At the same time, the channel of soul covenant began to be slowly constructed amidst the collision and mutual erosion of the spiritual symbols of both parties.
This was the first time that Char experienced such a complicated and tedious contract process.
Even with the soul strength that Char had achieved at the moment, the progress of the contract was still extremely slow. The gray fog continued to erode, and he had only advanced a little in the night.
Although he had made a contract with the Mercury Snake before, the Mercury Snake was a pure shame of mythology, a guy without any combat power or size. The contract process was not much more difficult than making a contract with a meow cat.
But the ancient dragon egg in front of him was a genuine mythical species, and it was not comparable to the shameful creature like the Mercury Serpent.
That is to say, Char used the ten years in the Garden of Eden to allow himself to cross the boundaries of the throne. Otherwise, the upper limit that an ordinary legendary beastmaster can contract is a legendary pet, and he is far from being qualified to contract a mythical creature.
Char's body remained motionless, feeling the soul pathway being constructed bit by bit.
Yui, who looked like a metal fairy, flapped her wings and flew out at some point.
A tiny beam of light was reflected in its eyes, scanning the dilapidated ruins around it.
After all, it was once the location of the ancient dragon king's court. Even though all its mysteries and the power of the world tree's branches have been exhausted, it still has great archaeological value.
All I can say is that the First Age is worthy of being the First Age.
Although it had only been less than a day since he entered the Echoes of History, Char had already gained a lot.
Not only did he know about the disaster of light and the secrets of the Ancient Dragon King's Court, he also learned the truth about the Beast Taming Contract.
Originally, Char had always been somewhat puzzled as to why humans in this world would develop a supernatural system with Beast Tamers as the main body.
But now that I think about it, the original origin of the Beastmaster should be due to the disaster of light brought about by the fallen sun.
In order to fight the madness and loss of control brought about by the fallen sun, the extraordinary creatures that once dominated the Western Continent were forced to make a contract with humans.
The feedback from the Soul Covenant also enabled humans, who had neither sharp teeth nor claws nor long lifespans, to have the capital to compete with those powerful races.
Later, the influence of the Fallen Sun gradually faded, but the pets also realized the benefits of using the Soul Contract to improve themselves. Coupled with the improvement of human status, the system of beastmasters was passed down.
Ning——
The ancient dragon egg suddenly trembled slightly.
The faint starlight scattered and made a soft ringing sound.
At the same time, Xia Ya also realized that in the spiritual world, the passage between the black fog and the night was suddenly opened at this moment.
The blood-red scale was reflected in his eyes.
An equal contract is established.
Then, all the strange noises and lights dimmed, and peace returned to normal.
Char once again turned his gaze towards the ancient dragon egg.
However, compared with the previous time when the vision was obscured by the night, it was difficult to see the true appearance of the ancient dragon egg.
This time, with the help of the soul contract that had been reached, Xia could clearly sense the heartbeat of the ancient dragon in the deep night and starlight.
At first, it was just a slight throbbing sound.
But then, the sound became louder and louder, and even the bright starlight trembled.
The next moment——
Click.
A clear crack appeared on the ancient dragon egg.
Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread and expanded rapidly.
The thin night sky was shattered.
The slender and elegant black dragon bathed in starlight and shadows, curiously opened its red-gold dragon eyes, and looked at the human in front of it.
Although it is just a newly born baby dragon, with the blood talent of the ancient dragon clan, the baby dragon now already possesses wisdom that is not inferior to that of ordinary humans. And because of the soul bond, the black-haired human in front of it made it feel that it had a spiritual connection with him, and it unconsciously developed a sense of closeness.
It whimpered softly and rubbed Char's palm affectionately.
At the same time, a light blue curtain of light slowly emerged in Xia's mind.
[Nickname: Unnamed]
[Racial name: Night Dragon]
[Soul Contract Status: Fourth Soul Contract (Equal Contract: Char Eggot)]
[Battle Level: 63 (Level 6)]
[Racial level: Mythical species]
[Pet skills: Eternal Night, Lord of Shadows, Crown of Secrets, Blessing of the World Tree, Eternal Sleep, Curse of Disaster]
"As expected of a genuine mythical race, it has already reached the sixth-order combat level right after hatching, which is directly equivalent to those emperor-level pets."
Looking at the panel that could only be described as luxurious, Char couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
All I can say is that beasts are better than beasts, and they are so mad at beasts.
There is no harm without comparison.
A-choo——
A certain snake with a combat level of five sneezed in the soul contract space and shook its tail in confusion.
…
“It was really enjoyable.”
Char held out his hand.
Then, under the confused gaze of the Night Dragon, he picked it up.
Seeing the young dragon looking around curiously in his arms, the thin night and shadow rose and fell unconsciously with the red-gold dragon pupils, but it did not resist his intentions at all.
In Xia's heart, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction that his dream had come true.
As a legitimate beastmaster, who hasn't dreamed of being able to contract a giant dragon?
He had previously coveted the black-scaled dragon that was unique to the Imperial Breeding Institute.
I also thought that if I had the chance, I would ask my second wife Isadela for one and bring it back as a dowry from Her Majesty the Queen to the Prince of the Empire.
But now, Xia naturally doesn't need to covet the black-scaled dragon anymore.
After all, no matter how powerful the black-scaled dragon is, it is still just a sub-dragon species. How can it compare to a pure-blooded ancient dragon?
"To be honest, I, Char, have always had a dream."
"That is, someday——"
"Become a glorious dragon rider."
Char looked at the slender and elegant little Night Dragon in his arms and spoke seriously.
Or, this can be said to be every man's dream.
Of course, what they signed was an equal contract, not a master-servant contract.
So, theoretically speaking, Char couldn't force the Night Dragon in front of him to do anything.
However, Char had naturally thought of a solution to this problem a long time ago.
Isn’t it just about improving favorability?
It's just a little dragon that has just hatched from its shell. Although its intelligence is not inferior to that of humans, it is still limited in knowledge.
In other words, one is its father and mother.
Then I'll use all kinds of food and benefits to cultivate the little dark dragon's favorability to the maximum...
Then you can ask to ride for a ride, wouldn't that be easy?
"So, Xiaolonglong, you have to grow up quickly."
"Your small body can't bear my weight. If I ride on you, you will be crushed."
Char stroked the little Night Dragon in his arms, his voice sounding somewhat earnest.
Speaking of which, this is the biggest difficulty in his dragon knight plan.
The lifespan and growth cycle of ancient dragons are completely different from those of humans.
According to the Golden Dragon, the little night dragon in front of them had been in the dragon egg stage for nearly a thousand years.
From the fall of the Throne of Heaven in the early years of the Cataclysm and the collapse of the Ancient Dragon King's Court until now, the Little Night Dragon has just passed the gestation stage and completed hatching.
God knows how long it will take for the little Dark Night Dragon to grow from its infancy to adulthood.
Judging from the cycle of dragon eggs, it might take two or three complete eras.
Even if pets can speed up their growth cycle by devouring various extraordinary materials, given the status of the Night Dragon mythical race, the rarity of the extraordinary materials that can be effective on them must be at the same level as that of ancient dragons.
"well--"
Char sighed and patted the little Dark Dragon's head.
"I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to be your dragon knight again in my lifetime."
"It would be a shame if the lifespan theory boomeranged back onto my head, wouldn't it?"
"By the way, I haven't given you a name yet."
As Char looked at the faint night sky lingering around the young dragon in his arms, his words gradually became softer.
"Looking at your skill panel, it seems that they are all powers related to the night..."
"Did these powers come from your mother?"
He recalled the reflection of time reflected by the Wheel of Fortune, in which the Lord of the Ancient Dragon Court sat on the throne, quiet and gentle.
"Then I'll call you..."
"Night." ”
…
"The master actually gave me such a normal name this time? Am I still not awake?"
"Hehehe, when did you get the illusion that I didn't use Tsukuyomi?"
"Unbelievable, I suspect the master has been possessed by some old monster."
"No matter who you are, please stay with our master for a while!"
In the soul contract space, Yin, Shanshan, Chihong, and Yui were all shocked.
This time the owner didn't get sick when naming!
Could it be that the pollution from the fallen sun actually had an effect on the master as well, driving him half-mad?
At this moment, the slender little black dragon did not pay much attention to the noise coming from the soul contract.
It just curled up silently in Char's arms, feeling the faint warmth coming from him.
Night...?
besides--
"Dragon Knight".
Although he didn't know the exact meaning of the word, the little black dragon clearly sensed from Char's words his desire to become a dragon knight.
In this case——
Then I must make Char the happiest and most perfect dragon knight in the world!
Deep in the depths of his soul, Ye secretly engraved his own dragon life creed.
