Chapter 856: Strange Insect Eggs
Not long after Angel entered the manor, he saw Lyon riding a horse and whipping his whip.
"You're back so early? Have you dealt with Princess Shannon's affairs?" Lyon turned over and dismounted, looking at Angel in surprise.
Angel nodded. He noticed that Lyon had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and a faint white mist on his body, as if he had been doing a lot of exercise before.
Lyon also noticed Angel's eyes and explained casually: "I was a little itchy, so I went to the mountains to hunt. But I was unlucky. The prey seemed to be scared away by the refugees, and I didn't get anything all day."
After Lyon finished speaking, he couldn't wait to ask Angel about the situation on the front line.
Just at this time, the maid Oli ran over from the end of the trail, stood in front of Angel panting, and said that dinner was ready and asked them to go over to eat.
"That's right, let's talk while eating." Lyon didn't say anything and forced Angel to go to the restaurant.
Angel didn't need to eat, but after looking at Toby who was eager to try and seeing his brother's eager eyes, he thought about it and didn't refuse.
During dinner, Leon asked about the situation in Haiyue City with great interest.
Angel didn't answer, but directly showed the front line of the military camp in Haiyue City in the form of illusion. It also included the battle between Toby and the Heart Eater. The tense and exciting feeling of fist to flesh made Leon, Mana and Oli who were waiting beside him, all grasped their hearts, dared not even blink, and kept paying attention to the development of the plot in the illusion.
At the critical moment, Toby saved Princess Shannon who was in crisis and killed the Heart Eater. The momentum of the entire military camp changed from decadence at the beginning to excitement, and under the encouragement of Princess Shannon, all the soldiers shouted the slogan: "Hai Lan must die!"
That strong appeal made everyone present except Angel feel the same.
Oli, who has a low crying point, even had red eyes and covered her nose with a handkerchief to prevent herself from humming.
This novel way of watching movies is obviously more contagious than describing it with words.
Even Mana, who has always been indifferent to foreign affairs, couldn't help but say after watching it: "The morale of the army can be so boosted. I believe that Haiyue City will definitely win this battle!"
Mana's words caused Oli to nod frequently.
After all, they are native citizens of the Golden Sparrow Empire, and naturally hope that their country can win. Moreover, Hailan used cheating methods to occupy territory and killed General Mengen, the backbone of the empire, which obviously aroused their common hatred of the enemy.
Compared with the maids' opinions, Leon frowned after watching it: "Where did you go? I only saw Toby fighting with the Heart Eater, why didn't I see you?"
"I went to fight with that summoner. The other party was a junior apprentice and was killed in one move. There was nothing to see." Angel said without comment.
Lyon looked at Angel with a suspicious look, he was a little unconvinced.
Angel was very frank, he did kill him in one move, but because that person was involved in the Rat Ant Underground Meeting, he didn't want to explain too much.
Angel also showed the part of going to the capital city of Sambia with Shannon in an illusion, but it was basically the general appearance of Sambia and the sense of prosperity overlooking Sambia. It caused Oli and Mana, who had never been to the capital, to exclaim again and again.
As for the part of going to the royal family, Angel concealed it, especially since Eureka was still in Pat Manor, he didn't want to tell about the Tide Realm.
At the following dinner, Lyon was very curious about the front-line war, and even asked Angel to simulate the topography of Haiyue City and use his military knowledge to simulate the battle with Hailan.
After the meal, Lyon concluded that as long as the army was not confused, the possibility of winning this battle was more than 80%.
Facts have proved that Lyon's conclusion was not wrong.
A few days later, there was a victory report from Haiyue City to all parts of the Golden Sparrow Empire. The army led by Shannon won a great victory in Haiyue City, giving a shot of reassurance to the displaced refugees in various regions and the anxious masses.
The Golden Sparrow is not old yet, and can fly high again!
Everyone thought that this was the bonus of the royal princess, and only by stabilizing the morale of the army could they win.
What they didn't know was that the person who really changed the war situation was sitting in his study at this time, curiously observing the spherical soft insect nest.
Because he knew that there was a door painted by the "magic painting" Miraphael in the Shannon royal family, he couldn't suppress his curiosity. But in order to open that door, he had to know the art of transformation.
So as soon as he got home, he observed the soft insect nest.
Before, when the dream-weaving ants occupied the nest, they could only carry one drop of Axo's blood essence each time because of their body shape. They also had to use Axo's blood essence as food, so there was very little blood essence to nourish the eggs.
After Angel received the soft-state insect nest, he was much more generous than the dream-weaving ants. The eggs were almost soaked in Axo's blood essence. The nutrients and energy in the blood essence were absorbed by the eggs every moment. Once Angel thought that the blood essence was ineffective, he immediately replenished a batch.
Therefore, in the previous one and a half months, the activity of the eggs in the nest increased greatly.
On the day Angel returned from Haiyue City, Angel noticed that there was a soft-state insect that had broken its shell in the nest. It was white and fat, and it was moving in the nest like a worm.
This soft worm is still an ordinary soft worm, and its value is far less than that of the deformed soft worm, so Angel ignored it and let it climb in the nest, just giving it some food from time to time.
Angel's attention is still on the unhatched eggs. He found that many eggs are ready to move, and they seem to have signs of breaking out of the shell, but they are all still in the accumulation.
One of the eggs caught Angel's attention. Among the eggs, there is a very strange one. It also has a certain activity, but it is not like the other eggs. It looks like it has signs of hatching. If you look closely, it feels a bit gloomy.
He has obviously put a lot of Axo's blood in it, and the other eggs are highly active, but this egg is only a little active, and it feels very gloomy. This made Angel very strange, and he decided to observe it for a few days.
As the observation progressed, Angel discovered that although this insect egg was soaked in blood essence, its conversion rate of nutrients in the blood essence was extremely low. It only converted a little bit when other insect eggs absorbed most of it.
This may also be the reason why it looks low in vitality.
Angel thought about it, and carefully separated this insect egg to another private space in the insect nest with his mental tentacles, and added Akso's blood essence to supply this insect egg alone.
He originally thought that this insect egg had a low conversion rate by nature, but when he separated the insect egg alone, he found that the conversion rate of this insect egg was not low at all.
When there was only one egg, the conversion rate was surprisingly high.
With the same amount of blood essence, other insect eggs would absorb all the nutrients in it in about three days. But this egg, when it was alone, actually absorbed it in two days.
You know, the blood essence that Angel poured in was the same amount!
"Among the same kind, the conversion rate is very low. But when it comes to individuals, the conversion rate is so high?" Angel thought to himself: "Is it because you pity your own kind and don't want to rob with them? Or..."
"You disdain to rob with them?"
One is the saint, who only likes to be humble; the other is the queen, who is high above and unwilling to fall into the dust and eat with the common people.
Angel didn't know which kind this egg belonged to, but it should be very special, so he decided to continue tracking and observing this egg.
While Angel was observing the insect eggs, he did not leave other plans behind. One is to find a way to save Jon, and the other is to practice the art of entering dreams.
How to save Jon, Angel now has no rules, he can only record Jon's body data and constantly substitute various magic formulas to see if there is any that can fit Jon's situation.
As for practicing entering dreams, there is some progress, but after all, it is a cross-system practice, and the progress is so slow that it makes Angel very annoyed.
According to this progress, it is estimated that it will take at least two years to successfully practice the art of entering dreams.
For apprentices in the entire wizard world, it is acceptable to practice a trick successfully in two years. The time does not seem long, but for Angel, Jon's life span is only two years. He wants to practice dreaming just to enter Jon's dream to see his situation. If it takes two years, it is better not to learn it from the beginning.
Angel began to think about whether there is any way to speed up the practice of dreaming.
After thinking for a while, Angel suddenly remembered something. He took out a black conch with a crescent moon and a starry sky from his bracelet.
This is the dream conch of the Moon Coast. Angel has not used it since he got it.
First, there is no time to study it; second, the effect of the dream conch is useless. Although Frode's proposal is very valuable, there is no hope at present.
In this case, Angel has been letting it be covered in dust. At this time, Angel took it out, but he thought of the situation when the Yinlu Royal Family of the Central Empire got the dream conch.
At that time, he had been unable to open the dream conch. According to Frode, only dream energy could activate the dream conch.
Angel did not believe in evil, and tried all the energy he knew. In the end, he found that when he used the power of nightmare to activate the dream conch, he could actually activate the dream conch!
Although he did not know why the power of nightmare could activate it, Angel guessed that the power of nightmare might have a trace of dream characteristics.
What he was thinking about now was that he had not been able to successfully study dreaming, so could he rely on the power of nightmare as a medium for dreaming?
While thinking about this possibility, Angel subconsciously swung out a nightmare power.
In an instant, the dream conch on the table was activated.
Angel felt waves of mysterious power surging out, and secretly said in his heart that it was bad.
Before he put away the dream conch, he heard the sound of the window breaking, and at the same time a female voice sounded from behind: "Oh, I feel something good has appeared..."
