The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming-Chapter 549 - 543: Dark Ghost Turtle Dragon
Chapter 549: Chapter 543: Dark Ghost Turtle Dragon
The emperor was not as anxious as the eunuch; compared to Lornaa Lindwood’s slightly impatient expression, Prince Youluo’s suddenly changing face quickly calmed down as if he was not the one afflicted with the Blood Transformation Disease.
“Suspected?” Youluo’s eyes flashed with a hint of disdain.
It had been 24 years since he fell ill at the age of fifteen.
During these long 24 years, the royal guards spread across the various territories of the Dayou Dynasty had sought out healers who claimed to be able to cure the Blood Transformation Disease on more than one occasion.
Unfortunately, these individuals either lacked sufficient skills or harbored ulterior motives, attempting to have him join rebellious forces against his elder sister in exchange for healing the incurable disease.
Over time, and with his age gradually increasing, even Lornaa’s teacher, the Purple Chill Saint, had declared him to be beyond help; Youluo had slowly lost hope, opting to give up on cultivation and merely cling to life.
Now, at 39 years old, he had spent more than half his life and missed the best period for cultivation.
Even if Youluo were to be cured of the Blood Transformation Disease now, the disordered Ghost Bloodline within his body would not allow him to break through to the Ghost Emperor Level. At most, he could forcibly advance to the Ghost King Level through massive intake of elixirs and miraculous medicines. (Without taking a longevity elixir, the lifespan of a Ghost King Level was limited to 400 years.)
Therefore, Youluo did not pay attention to the faint hope mentioned by the visitor. Instead, he focused on the Earth Demon Guard who was lying on the ground, an official with the same rank as a court minister.
The Heaven and Earth Demon Guards were the elite forces directly controlled by the Dayou Empress, tasked with protecting either the emperor or the royal family members. Among them, the Heaven-Demon Guard had the fewest numbers, with only ten individuals, but possessed the strongest power within the Heaven and Earth Demon Guards.
Each Heaven-Demon Guard was a powerful Ghost Emperor powerhouse at minimum and served as the Empress’s most potent weapon. There were even rumors that the Commander of the Heaven-Demon Guard had attained the Ghost Immortal Level.
The Earth Demon Guard, on the other hand, had relatively more members but were weaker in comparison. They usually recruited Ghost King Elites from the Ghost Noble families, but under special circumstances, ordinary strong elites would also be enlisted.
Strong individuals of the Dayou Dynasty all had their own dignity, and Lornaa had managed to force an Earth Demon Guard to the ground without harming herself. Her actual strength was likely beyond the initial Ghost Emperor stage mentioned by the guards, and she might be on the verge of entering the mid-stage Ghost Emperor realm.
“According to the intelligence, the granddaughter of the Leader of the Silver-Abyssal City’s Team Kamui accidentally caught the Blood Transformation Disease, but was cured by a mysterious healer named David Jones… Your Highness, this is the information passed down,” said the Earth Demon Guard cautiously, handing over the Intelligence Mirror with both hands without affirming the truthfulness of the message.
After reading the information in the Spirit Mirror, Lornaa’s pretty face showed a hint of surprise, and then she passed the mirror to her elder brother, who appeared somewhat tense.
Seeing his sister’s sudden smile, Youluo couldn’t help but swallow hard and hope rose in his heart.
“Is there really a chance for a cure?”
Thinking about this, Youluo’s heart raced as he tapped his fingertips on the exquisite table and quickly reviewed the information in the Spirit Mirror.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly grew silent, and after a while, the Spirit Mirror fell. Youluo took a deep breath and slowly said,
“An elixir formula of the third class, if the information is true, this person must be a pioneer in the field of bloodline medical arts and may even be regarded as a Saint of Healer by later generations!”
Hearing her elder brother’s high praise for David Jones, Lornaa couldn’t help but become curious.
It was well known that Venerable Healers ranked above Saints of Healer, but there was a significant difference between an actual Saint of Healer and an honorary one.
Throughout the history of the Dayou Dynasty, there had only been one true Saint of Healer, whose unfathomable, god-like medical skills were like a bright sun, illuminating the world of healers for tens of thousands of years.
An honorary Saint of Healer, on the other hand, was a title granted by the Dayou Dynasty to Venerable Healers who made innovative contributions to the nation – a well-known title of the current era.
“Elder brother, should we summon him to try?” Lornaa looked at Youluo, who seemed somewhat more energetic than before, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of joy.
“Some of the information in the intelligence report is doubtful, and whether David Jones is a great medical practitioner is still unknown, but it is worth a personal visit from this prince,” Youluo said with a furrowed brow.
In the end, he still didn’t believe that a small place like Silver-Abyssal City would suddenly produce an untraceable, highly skilled healer like David Jones.
A flicker of solemnity flashed across Lornaa Lindwood’s beautiful face.
With a soft voice for the sake of her brother’s safety, considering the frequent appearances of Ghost Hunter Guilt rebels in Spring Mansion, she said: “King, let me accompany you.”
Wen Yan, with her head down, worry flashed through her eyes. She just hoped that her subordinates hadn’t messed up.
As the younger sister who was most pampered by the Empress, Lornaa was very headstrong. If anyone dared to inflate their achievements or made any false reports, it’s likely that all the guards in Silver-Abyssal City would be dismissed, and even she would suffer severe punishment for failing to recognize the right people.
…
On the other side, after leaving the Brown Mansion, David Jones chose to visit the guesthouse where Rossetti Lindwood and Greenox were temporarily staying.
“Teacher!”
Upon seeing David Jones appear, an excited Rossetti, dressed in a loose robe after washing, rushed towards him and hugged his arm tightly. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
However, at this moment, David Jones had no time to appreciate the soft, warm touch of her arm as his sharp gaze focused on the little creature that appeared on Rossetti’s shoulder.
It was a beast less than twenty centimeters long, with a slightly protruding back, and a pale black body that resembled a crocodile and a dragon.
Its short legs were slightly curled up, and its slender tail clung tightly to Rossetti’s skin, seemingly a bit shy.
“Hmm, this Blackwater Dragon seems unusual.”
Realizing that something was off about the Dragon’s appearance, David Jones unconsciously activated his Illusion-Piercing Eye.
“Pet Name”: Dark Ghost Dragon
“Pet Type”: Dark, Dragon
“Species Level”: King
“Grade”: Fresh Level IX
“Species Skill”: Dark Assault, Ghost Dragon Body, Shadow Stealth
“Pet Profile”: Due to the influence of Dragon Domination and Ghost God Bloodline, the Water-Type Blackwater Dragon is twisted into the Dark Ghost Dragon, losing its innate Water Talent but gaining a rarer and more terrifying dark power, significantly increasing its potential.
Feeling David Jones’s gaze staying on her white shoulder, Rossetti caught the struggling Dark Ghost Dragon with one hand and presented it to him: “Little Arthur, say hello to your teacher!”
“Hmm!”
David Jones raised his finger and touched the head of the Dark Ghost Dragon, asking in a strange tone, “What did you do to it?”
Rossetti blinked, “I didn’t do anything!”
After that, as if remembering something, she suddenly said, “Right! After eating the eggshell, Little Arthur took advantage of my bath time and drank all the blood I had prepared for you, Teacher!”
David Jones: “???”
It was truly a newborn calf not fearing tigers, even the Gluttonous Beast didn’t dare to swallow a whole cup of Rossetti’s blood at once, yet this little guy dared to drink a whole cup at once. No wonder its innate Water-Type had been transformed into Dark Type.
