Chapter 592: Hope is like a dream
"Okay." Faced with Fred's contribution, Russell did not refuse.
He protects Fred and others, so Fred and others will naturally submit a petition. This is the rule of Longmian Continent: "At that time, I will give you a two-legged flying dragon and a warm enclave to help you create a new world." family."
Chatted about trading for a while.
Fred no longer had any scruples about joining the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame.
At this time, he suddenly opened the small box he carried with him, held the box in both hands, and handed it to Russell solemnly: "Sir, thank you for coming to express condolences as soon as possible. I will present it to you on behalf of the Molten Dragon Blood Family. ”
"This is it?" Russell took the box, a little confused.
Fred said: "This is the hope left by the Molten Dragon. There is no point in staying in the hands of the Molten Dragon Blood Family. I leave it to you, sir. Maybe it can guide you a little bit on the path of knighthood and climb to a new peak." "
"The hope of the molten dragon!" Russell's eyes widened.
He has never seen what the dragons cherish, the hope of returning to the ancient times, and the Shadow Flame Dragon just happened to be robbed of this hope.
The box suddenly became extremely heavy.
However, Russell still took it calmly. As Fred said, the Molten Family's hope of keeping the Molten Dragon was meaningless.
"This contribution is too valuable." Russell resisted the urge to open it immediately.
Fred shook his head: "The Molten Dragon died in the battle... There is no point in keeping it, let alone precious and frivolous."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh, and his interest suddenly became dull: "Your Highness, I will take my leave now."
Wait for Fred to leave.
Russell took a deep breath, called Paulie, and then carefully opened the box made of special metal. The box itself is a kind of magic circle, with special magic patterns engraved on the box.
After opening the lid of the box, bright light shot out instantly.
When the light dimmed, Russell could clearly see what was inside. It was a mass of something that looked like air and water. It was transparent and clear in color, changing shape constantly, and there was a little bit of light inside.
Like sparkling waves on the water.
"It's very strange!" Russell stretched out his finger, wanting to touch this ball of "hope", but there was no feeling. His finger passed through the "hope", and the "hope" was still rippling like water waves, not affected by the appearance of the finger. , without any impact.
but.
When Russell poured "Hope" into his hand, although there was no touch, "Hope" did not pass through the palm and fell to the ground.
Instead, it was held in the palm of the hand, like an irregular ball of water, rippling back and forth.
"Is this what the dragons cherish as life...the hope of returning to ancient times?" Russell couldn't understand its existence.
Baoli couldn't understand either: "It doesn't seem to be a kind of matter, it seems like an... energy body, no, no, it doesn't look like an energy body, it seems more like a... spiritual body, spirit, soul or something like that. exists."
Russell shook his head: "It's very confusing. I can't feel its existence at all. I can only see it, but I can't touch it at all."
This ball of "hope" is like a dream.
It seemed as if he had experienced it, but also as if he had never really felt it. No matter whether Russell held it in his hands or put it in a box, he never really touched it. It doesn't react with anything, it's a complete "insulator".
"Baoli, it seems that we can't solve this mystery... But also, the dragons are so powerful, and there is an entire country behind the dragon knights to help, we can't solve the mystery, let alone the two of us. "
"Give it to Shadow Flame." Baoli suggested, "It's best to exchange it with the Kingdom of Blazing Torrent to get Shadow Flame's hope back."
"It's indeed possible, but you have to let Shadow Flame feel it first." Russell said before closing the metal box.
But right now.
In the palm of his left hand, the M-shaped mark suddenly burned, and then the ball of "hope" in the box fell lightly into Russell's palm, combined with the M-shaped mark, and suddenly turned into a flame half a person's height.
"Yeah!" Paulie exclaimed!
It cannot see the M-shaped mark, but it can see the moment when "hope" blooms into flames. The flames are not red, but dazzlingly colorful. Each color contains endless mysteries.
Make it dizzying.
But it was Russell who felt the deepest.
The moment the flames rose, his mind seemed to be pulled into the dazzling colors, and then he "saw" an indescribable scene.
It was an ocean, a dazzling forest ocean. Every tree was very abstract, with abstract shapes and highly abstract shapes. The most abstract thing was that it was colorful, as chaotic as a child's graffiti.
And it changes all the time.
Suddenly, a giant dragon flew over the forest. This giant dragon was as abstract as the forest, and the colors were constantly changing.
The giant dragon flew closer and closer, and soon came to Russell.
As if it had discovered Russell, it turned its head and spit out a stream of dragon flames at Russell. The dragon flames were also abstract and colorful.
Boom!
Russell, who was destroyed by the dragon flames, came back to his senses in an instant. All the scenes in front of him had disappeared. The "hope" that turned into flames also returned to a ball, and the flames of the M-shaped mark also turned into little sparks and dispersed.
"Russell, what's wrong with you?" Paulie asked in her mind.
"Did you see the scene just now, the colorful forest, and the colorful dragon!"
"No, I only saw hope turning into a flame, the color of the flame was very gorgeous and deep, and I didn't see anything else." Polly responded. Obviously, only Russell could see the scene just now.
He put the ball of "hope" back into the box and closed the lid.
He exhaled and said, "It should be the ice cream that helped me to peek into the mystery of this ball of hope. Unfortunately, the ice cream didn't really wake up, and I couldn't communicate with it deeply. I couldn't understand the meaning of hope at all with just one look."
Abstract forest, abstract dragon... What do these represent? He and Polly discussed for a long time, but they couldn't discuss it.
Finally.
Polly concluded: "Russell, let's not worry about it anymore. Since ice cream can inspire this hope, maybe it can return to ancient times in the future...Even ice cream is a more powerful dragon and has returned to ancient times long ago."
"Yes, ice cream is extraordinary!" Russell nodded and stopped worrying, "Let's continue to comprehend this extinct volcano."
The hope of returning to ancient times is the mystery that dragons need to realize.
He and Polly are just phantom dragon knights. The most important thing at this stage is to comprehend the power of dragon flames and solve the mystery of the volcano.
Maybe if this mystery is solved, he and Polly can go further.
For seven consecutive days, Russell lived in the Molten Volcano, but he was not completely ignorant of the outside world. Fred came every day to report to him about the affairs of the Long Court and the information transmitted by the Thunder Station.
Several countries have already installed the Thunder Station.
Joined the "Thunder Chat Group" to communicate and jointly deal with the upcoming Frost Star Advent crisis.
"Your Highness, the Demon-Seeking Tower is already under construction, but at this stage people in the country are not very enthusiastic about building the Demon-Seeking Tower." Fred came to the volcano to report, "Moreover, there are not many nobles willing to migrate with me to the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame."
"Migration is entirely voluntary, just try to bring as many civilians as possible." Russell ordered.
