Dragon Temple.
Inside the room, Link wasn’t fully awake yet. Hearing the Red Dragon Queen’s words, he couldn’t quite process it yet. “What? Dragonification?”
He’d seen the word “dragonification” earlier. Oh, right. There was a book called The Pros and Cons of Dragonification Spells on Dragon Magician Olisa’s dresser in Duke Osiris’ castle.
This word had appeared in the previous game too.
In actuality, these dragonified creatures were another hidden race. The player must complete a series of difficult epic dragon missions, be revered by the dragons, and complete the dragonification spells to advance from being a newbie player.
After dragonification, the player’s physique would strengthen in all aspects, especially vitality. They would practically become as hard to kill as a cockroach and were the best choice for Warriors. In the previous game, almost every main tank of a guild was a dragonified Warrior.
They were also excellent in terms of magic. Each one had a talent called Dragon Sense. It allowed them to quickly recover 30% of their Mana, and it could be used once per day. It was a fatal weapon in battle!
However, everything in the world had its pros and cons. It was the law.
The vitality of dragonified players was too strong. A side effect was becoming impulsive and greedy. In the game, they would have an extra desire bar. If the player couldn’t complete a special mission in time to lower the desire count and it overfilled, the player’s body would become uncontrollable. They would do all sorts of weird things. Dropping in experience or exploding equipment were everyday things.
In the previous game, the missions to lower the desire bar weren’t hard, but they were frequent. They had to be completed daily. The bar would overflow if the player missed one day. It was very annoying.
Naturally, many dragonified players would experience that, and it lead to tragedy.
Some nosy people had calculated the 1000 ways to die as a dragonified Warrior. These included challenging the general of the allied army and being stabbed in the head; charging into a demon’s fortress alone and getting blown up by countless demons; flirting with the Red Dragon Queen, resulting in getting burnt to dust; having sex with their horse in the wilderness, getting filmed, and having that video go viral…There were countless ways, and they were all abnormally unlucky.
If it was like this in a game, it would be even worse in real life.
Link didn’t want to experience these cons. He was much more clear-headed now and shook his head furiously. “No, no, no. Magicians must have a calm and logical mind. Dragonification spells aren’t suitable for me.”
“Dragonification spells?” Gretel was taken aback and took a while to react. “I think you misunderstood. I was speaking of advanced dragonification technology, not regular dragonification spells.”
“Is there a difference?” Link was interested.
“The explanation starts with the dragon bloodline. Our body contains the ancient and powerful dragon magic. This is very special and continuously grows with the dragon. It never stops modifying, and the dragon never stops strengthening. The completeness of the dragon bloodline magic determines the ultimate success of the dragon.”
Here, the Red Dragon Queen took out a vial of a crystal red potion. There was a light spiral submerged inside. It actually looked similar to the double strands of DNA from Earth.
“True dragon bloodline magic is combined with the soul. It grows very slowly; that’s one of the reasons why we have longevity. Regular dragonification spells just puts crude dragon magic into the person’s blood. This affects the user greatly and torments them for life. The potion I have here is called the Red Dragon Password. Drink it, and a mortal can become a dragon—a true dragon.”
“I can transform into dragon form?” Link was doubtful.
“It’s possible, but it depends on the completeness of the fusion. It won’t be effective immediately either. Like a true dragon, it requires a long period of time.”
If it was true, it would be great, but Link still felt strange. “Your Majesty, why did you suddenly choose me?”
Gretel blanched at the question. Yes, the Red Dragon Password was so rare and precious. Why would she give it to a human she’d just met? She thought for a while and realized she hadn’t seriously considered this idea. It was the result of an impulsive moment.
However, she couldn’t take the potion back now. It was awkward.
Link could tell too. Chuckling, he said, “Your Majesty, it seems that you hadn’t fully thought about this. We can talk about it in the future…Come, let me see the results of your deduction. I’d like to see where I went wrong.”
The potion was a good thing—really, really good. In fact, it was like a godly object. Link also knew that receiving it for no reason would be troublesome in the future. If he became a dragon, he would also be subordinate to the queen. If she commanded him to do something in the future, would he be forced to do it?
Gretel felt even more awkward. She even felt her cheeks burn. As a leader, she’d been too brash…This wasn’t the level she should be at. Chuckling wryly, she took the potion back.
Looking at Link, he seemed totally unaffected. He was already immersed in her deduction and didn’t notice her actions. She let out a sigh of relief.
This was still annoying though. I really embarrassed myself today. Ah, how can I show my royal power before this human in the future? This is horrible!
On the other hand, Link was already focused. The queen’s suggestion was only a small interruption in his mind. It didn’t even cause a ripple. Now, all that remained in his eyes were the spatial laws.
After reading for half an hour, Link suddenly hit the table and laughed. “Your Majesty, I think I won this round!”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Gretel was stunned.
