Chapter 249 Dragon Blood Curse
Herky Stone's expression was so excited that even Amber was infected.
This guy came over to tell him this before the time for questions was even over. It seems like this is really an incredible discovery.
Amber Xiu could only draw the magic circle while saying to him: "You talk, I listen."
Heki Stone was very dissatisfied with Amber's perfunctory attitude. This was a huge discovery that could cause a huge earthquake in the continent's historical world.
However, he had no way to change Amber's attitude, so he could only explain: "Arthur Ryan must have encountered very serious physical problems back then, so he left without saying goodbye."
"A legendary paladin can get sick? Do you have any evidence?" Amber asked in confusion.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the paladins always mention "holy light" as a catchphrase, which seems very unfashionable. But holy light is indeed a very good thing. In theory, paladins will not get sick, but will only age.
Arthur Ryan is an extremely powerful paladin. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a demigod.
What kind of health problems could possibly occur to such a person?
Hecky Stone said firmly: "After chatting with the heroic spirit, I can confirm what kind of character Arthur Ryan was back then. Just as it is recorded in the history books, this holy king is humble, kind, determined, and very responsible. Such a person would not suddenly abandon the entire empire. There is only one reason, that is, he encountered force majeure.
"But he is Emperor Ryan. What force majeure could have made him leave his empire? It couldn't have been the gods, because the Lord of Dawn would not watch this devout believer being plotted against by other gods. So the only possibility is that something went wrong with Arthur Ryan himself.
"I have carefully compared the records of that time. Ryan did purchase a large number of various medicinal materials and searched for doctors all over the continent, but the reason given at that time was that there was a plague in Ryan, which required medicinal materials and a large number of doctors to treat. But think about it, in an empire illuminated by the Holy Light, what plague would it be afraid of? Isn't the healing skill of the priest of light useful? Why does it need to rely on other doctors?"
Herky Stone's analysis made sense, and it was very likely that Arthur Ryan had some terminal illness that could not be cured by holy light.
Amber thought about it and felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "So he disappeared because he was going for treatment? This is not right. If he was just going for treatment, there was no need to leave without saying goodbye. He could just discuss it with the important officials of the Ryan Empire. Who would stop him from going for treatment?"
Herky Stone smiled proudly and said, "Yes, you are quite smart. You found the problem so quickly. What if I say that this terminal illness must not be known to other people in Ryan?"
Amber Xiu paused and couldn't help but say, "A terminal illness that can't be told to others? Arthur Lane doesn't have a sexually transmitted disease."
Other emperors might have gotten sick from playing too much and were afraid to tell others.
But the Holy Light can cure all sexually transmitted diseases. This is not a problem for Arthur Lane.
"Haha, do you want to know?" Herky Stone said to Amber proudly, "For the sake of our relationship, how about two hundred thousand gold coins?"
"I'm sorry, but my interest in this issue is not worth two hundred thousand. If you don't sell it to the Ryan people, I believe they will give you two million as a hush money."
Amber Xiu decisively refused. He just wanted to listen to the history story. Even if he knew the deepest secrets of the Ryan Empire, those holy warrior legions would not disappear out of thin air, and the impact would not be that big.
Seeing that he couldn't get the money, Hecky Stone became anxious: "Why are you so stingy? Let me tell you, this secret is definitely worth two hundred thousand, because it is the key to the corruption of the Ryan royal family, and it is also related to the Dragon Tyrant."
"Is it related to the Dragon Tyrant?" Amber Xiu finished outlining the last line of the teleportation array, then stroked his chin and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked Hecky Stone, "Is Arthur Ryan cursed by the dragon's blood?"
"Well……"
Seeing Heki Stone's expression, Amber Xiu smiled and said, "Haha, it seems that the two hundred thousand can be saved."
The dragon blood curse was a very rare thing. Dragons were rare, and the conditions for casting the dragon blood curse were very harsh. First, a legendary dragon was needed; second, the dragon had to have deep hatred and would rather destroy its own soul and merge it into its blood to cast the curse; and finally, a dragon slayer was needed who could kill the dragon and bathe in its blood.
"When the Dragon Tyrant was killed by Arthur Ryan, he would rather destroy his own soul and cast the Dragon Blood Curse on him? This is not right. This curse is so strong that it can work on gods. How did Arthur Ryan live to be over a hundred years old? He should have died a long time ago."
Heki Stone was very upset when he saw that Amber had deduced most of the content. This damn lich, how many books did he read, how could he even know this. The dragons have disappeared for thousands of years, and he had to search through thousands of books to find the dragon blood curse from the ancient books left by the Dragon Worship Cult. As a result, this lich also knew about it.
But since Amber had already guessed it, Herky Stone could only sigh and say, "I guess it was the Lord of Dawn who helped him suppress the curse. So when Arthur Ryan was old and the curse could no longer be suppressed, he took the initiative to leave."
Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "It still doesn't make sense. This dragon blood curse is Arthur Ryan's glory, and it's proof that he killed the dragon tyrant. There's nothing shameful about it. Why would he need to hide it and leave such a huge empire without saying goodbye?"
"I'm not sure about this, but this is what I got from talking to Arthur Ryan. When they were fighting the dragon, they made targeted preparations for the various abilities of the dragon tyrant. It was not as simple as just stealing the dragon tyrant's artifact."
"Could you elaborate?"
"Will you give me money?"
"You don't have to say it."
…
Heki Stone gnashed his teeth, knowing that it was impossible for him to get some gold coins from this lich. He wanted to keep it to himself, but he couldn't hold it in. It was such a big secret, and now there was no one else to share it with except Amber.
Herky Stone was a very gossipy person, otherwise he would not have been interested in archaeology, so he couldn't hold back and told Amber the information he had obtained.
The Dragon Tyrant had three nearly invincible abilities back then.
The first is the power of time control as a time dragon. In order to further control time, he also refined such a magic weapon. The time dragon with this magic weapon is immortal. No matter what damage it suffers, it can recover instantly. Even if it is killed, it can be resurrected on the spot.
The second ability is the breath of the time dragon. Any creature hit by the breath will be reduced to ashes. Nothing can resist the power of time.
The third is his immortal dragon soul. Even if his body is completely destroyed, his soul can exist independently and is immune to most attacks. Whether it is the Holy Knight's Holy Slash or other spells and divine arts, they cannot cause damage to his dragon soul, as if it exists in another plane.
In order to solve these three major problems, Arthur Ryan spent many years, first stealing the hourglass artifact, and replacing the dragon soul left by the dragon tyrant with his own will. Then he used this dragon soul to forge a magic sword and obtained a weapon to kill the tyrant dragon soul.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It sounds simple, but Arthur Ryan had more than a dozen companions at the time. Almost all of these heroes sacrificed their lives for this plan, and only three were left in the end, one of whom was the old king of the elves.
As for the dragon's breath of time, Arthur Ryan couldn't think of any way to deal with it. The only thing he could do was to kill the dragon tyrant before it could breathe out.
Therefore, Arthur Ryan finally faced the evil dragon tyrant alone, and killed it with the sword forged from the dragon soul, completely destroying its soul.
The heroic spirit did not know the final outcome of the battle, but had all the memories of the previous preparations, so Heki Stone deduced the factors of the dragon blood curse. This sword can kill the dragon soul of the tyrant. It is very likely that the dragon tyrant knew that he would die and even his soul would be destroyed, so he wanted to perish with Arthur Ryan before he died, and chose to cast the dragon blood curse.
Of course there is no evidence, and Herky Stone believes that only the dragon's blood curse can make Arthur Lane helpless.
"In the end it still doesn't make sense why Arthur Lane would keep this secret from everyone."
This Holy King is not a pretentious person. On the contrary, he is optimistic, cheerful and open-minded. It is impossible for him to hide his situation with some boring excuse like "I don't want to cause trouble to others".
Unless, he is old and has become hypocritical? But this possibility is very low. Those who can become holy warriors have extraordinary determination, and it is difficult for time to change their character and habits.
Herky Stone couldn't figure it out either, so he could only say, "Maybe I can look for other information."
Amber Xiu comforted him, "Although we haven't figured out the truth yet, it's good to have dug out so much information. By the way, my alchemy factory will be completed soon. What do you suggest about the alchemy products commonly used by civilians? What do the desert people sell best?"
Without thinking, Herky Stone answered: "Vitality potion, what man can live without it?"
"Ah, this..." Amberxiu understood what Heki S meant in the call.
But it seems to make sense. Indeed, every man cannot do without vitality potion... After all, men need physical labor. After drinking a bottle, he can last another hour.
Could it be that I have to design a new type of vitality potion to open up the market?
But this is very difficult, because the vitality potion has been around for many years, and after so many years of optimization, Amberxiu is unable to come up with a cheaper and better formula.
If he can’t launch new products to monopolize the market, then it won’t make much sense for him.
However, since we cannot occupy the men’s market, can we consider the women’s market?
