Chapter 570: 184. The Ancestor of Metal_2
Paredes’ words and Noland Lee’s speculations matched perfectly, just as Noland had said.
With this mental preparation, Noland felt relatively calm and composed. The other listeners around him, however, were not as composed. Including Denise Green and other wizards, they all showed surprise, anger, and a touch of fear.
Especially the only living eight-circle metal wizard present. This wizard, like Berkeley, also came from the Hotams Metal Branch and was sent to persuade him.
With Berkeley’s death, his persuasion work failed, and now he was inevitably in a low mood.
As soon as they heard Paredes’ words, everyone immediately turned their eyes to this metal wizard, while the metal wizard himself was startled, his thoughts churning and a large number of metal spikes emerging from his face mask.
“Professor Paredes, where did you hear this news? There’s no news about it in the Academy?” The metal wizard asked. He had a relatively young voice, which trembled slightly. The fact that he might become a target for the extraterrestrial void forces had placed an extraordinary psychological burden on him.
Paredes replied:
“This is top-secret information from the Wizard Enforcement Department, Colin. Before I left, I received a secret order from the Law Enforcement Department. The order said that after I confirm that Berkeley and his collaborators are indeed related to the Deep Space United Mining, I can tell you and the Metal Branch behind you about the news. Take a close look at this dragon claw model I drew. What does it remind you of?”
Colin, the metal wizard, stared at the dragon claw model as he pondered.
The metal spikes on his face mask were rhythmically contracting and twitching.
The room was completely silent, providing a quiet environment for Colin’s contemplation.
After maintaining this atmosphere for about 10 seconds, Colin croaked:
“Yes, Professor Paredes, I have identified the owner of this dragon claw.”
Colin’s voice added some hesitation and fear:
“It’s… it’s unbelievable… the dragon’s claw of the Metal Ancestor Dragon actually appeared on the emblem of an extraterrestrial force…”
“The Metal Ancestor Dragon…” the onlookers murmured.
Unlike Colin’s fear, almost all the listeners showed confused expressions.
They had no impression of the so-called “Metal Ancestor Dragon” and could only direct their questioning gazes at Paredes.
Under everyone’s scrutiny, Paredes read the words from the textbook:
“‘History of the Ulnas Ring,’ at the beginning of the ancient civilization chapter, there are a few paragraphs:
‘Before the era of the wizard, this land was ruled by dragons. Most extraordinaries, including wizards, were either slaves or servants of the dragons. The cataclysm that ended the Era of Dragons caused countless casualties among dragon-like creatures. Several of the most powerful ones amongst them, betrayed the oath of the dragon’s ring, abandoned this land, and became wanderers in the starry sky.’
Paredes paused:
“‘The History of the Ulnas Ring’ doesn’t say which specific dragons abandoned this land. I can tell you part of the answer. One of them is the ancestor and leader of the metal dragons, the Metal Ancestor Dragon named Talsale. To this day, if he is still alive, he would be over 3,100 years old, truly an ancient metal dragon.”
The onlookers expressed shock at this secret history, and the topic Paredes brought up next was like a bombshell.
“The ‘Metallic Thinking’ meditation method of the Hotams Metal Department is a dragon legacy derived from the Metal Ancestor Dragon. There is a very serious defect in this meditation method. I think Colin can tell us the answer.”
Paredes looked at the distressed metal wizard.
Colin puffed out his chest, took a deep breath, and the voice under his mask became bitter: fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
“Yes. There is a defect in the ‘Metallic Thinking’ meditation method, a fatal one. We need to integrate the ‘mental metal’ left by the Metal Ancestor Dragon into our bodies to master the extraordinary ability to connect with metal by thinking. The mental metal carries a very thin bloodline of the Metal Ancestor Dragon. Although the power of this bloodline has become so thin that it is almost disappearing, it can still force us to succumb to the source of the bloodline, which is the Metal Ancestor Dragon Talsale.”
“If Talsale and its offspring are all dead, there would be no dragons to manipulate the bloodline on the mental metal. But if any dragon among them is still alive, we metal wizards, who should be classified as ‘half-dragon men’ according to the ‘Law of Dragons,’ will not be able to escape the fate of being ruled.”
“Berkeley’s submission to the Deep Space United Mining and his death prove that Talsale’s bloodline is not extinct, and there is still a line of metal dragons alive in this world. This… this is a tremendous blow to our Metal Branch.”
The audience was dumbfounded.
So was Noland Lee.
Huh?
This…
Isn’t the defect of the ‘Metallic Thinking’ meditation method too serious?
Just because the mental metal integrated into their bodies carries a trace of the Ancestor Dragon’s bloodline, they would be controlled by the Ancestor Dragon and its offspring.
I… this… I better not cultivate the ‘Metallic Thinking’ meditation method…
…Huh? Wait, no, no…
Noland suddenly thought of ‘Harmless Deconstruction!’
Obviously, the system’s Harmless Deconstruction is aimed at this phenomenon of “being controlled by others.”
By using Harmless Deconstruction to deconstruct the ‘Metallic Thinking’ meditation, wouldn’t it completely shield the influence of the Metal Ancestor Dragon on him?
