Chapter 770 Three Abilities
Helfas was not a real black iron dragon, so it was difficult for him to find the black iron seal scale from the vast ocean as the other party imagined, unless he used some special power.
At the same time, he had no way to create a real black iron seal scale.
However, what the other party needed was a ritual array disk that could seal the weirdness. As for whether it was exactly the same, it was not important. This was not a problem for Helfas.
In addition, he did need to study the bronze statue of the Bronze Dragon King. He wanted to know what the merchant had done. He should still be alive, but why did he become like this?
Moreover, Helfas wanted to figure out how he could come back to life.
So he agreed to King Basai.
Helfas looked for materials for casting the seal ritual array disk on the island. Of course, Helfas could not find black steel, but he found black iron in the city. It was an ancient black iron blade inherited from the Silver Age.
In addition to the material of the Black Iron Sealed Scale being more suitable for the conduction of extraordinary power, the Black Iron Dragon's inheritance hides the dark pattern of the ritual array inside the metal scale. Although Helfas cannot make an identical Black Iron Sealed Scale, he uses a similar method to engrave the ritual array in the pattern of the scale.
In the coppersmith's workshop, he melted the black iron and forged a "Black Iron Sealed Scale".
He picked up the scale and activated it.
From an extraordinary perspective.
Aura emerged, but it was fleeting.
The ritual did not really start, but the flash of light also meant that it could be used.
"Success."
"Black Iron Sealed Ritual Array Plate."
Although the Black Iron Sealed Scale is called Black Iron, that means Black Iron Dragon. It is actually made of the extraordinary metal black steel transformed from black iron.
And Helfas's is real black iron, but for ordinary people, it is probably difficult to tell the difference.
But when this "Black Iron Seal Scale" was successfully manufactured, Helfas felt that there were some problems.
He suddenly thought of one thing. Why did the merchant create the extraordinary profession of Black Iron Dragon? He knew that on the one hand, it was to keep the power of the seal stable. As long as the existence of Black Iron Dragon was immortal, the power of the seal could continue.
But why hide the ritual array? It seemed to contain some intention and secret?
He felt that this must be effective.
He guessed many ideas and answers, but he didn't know which one the merchant's original intention was.
At this time, on the other side of Bass Island, the king found Bass who was imprisoned.
"Bang!"
The old king pushed open the iron door and went down the stairs to find Bass who was extremely decadent. The other party was still immersed in the scenes of the day.
Seeing him like this, the old king was really a little disappointed.
He has four children, two boys and two girls.
Bass was the strongest and bravest among them, which were the two most needed things for a king in this era. He certainly knew that a strong physique and so-called bravery would also bring other problems to the other party.
So he hoped to train the other party through an adventure, but he didn't expect that the other party would fall down in the first test.
He shouted at his son.
"Bass, stand up for me."
"Hold your head and chest high, stand like a warrior."
Bass immediately came to his senses, quickly stood up and stood in front of his father.
"Father, why are you here?"
The old king waved his hand and asked someone to untie the shackles on Bass's hands.
Then the two came to the door of the prison together, and the king dismissed his left and right and said to Bass.
"No one's life will be smooth sailing. You will always have to go through hardships. Don't take hardships as a big deal."
"Some sailors sailing on the sea regard storms as natural disasters. They tremble when they encounter them and never dare to step on the ship again; some people regard them as the triumph and music of life, bravely wade through them and turn them into the opening of their own legendary story."
"You didn't do well this time, but as long as you get over it, even if it's somewhere else, you will definitely make another great achievement in the future."
Bass was stunned for a moment: "Somewhere else?"
He suddenly Suddenly he understood something, and hurried forward to ask: "Father, what does this mean?"
King Basai told him: "Leave this island!"
"Go somewhere else, don't come back."
Bass immediately said: "The Black Iron Seal Scale is lost, someone must take responsibility."
King Basai immediately stopped him from saying: "Don't worry about these, I have already talked to the Lord Black Iron Dragon, he generously agreed to my request, and he will help us find the Black Iron Seal Scale next, everything has nothing to do with you."
Bass was released.
He was no longer a prince, but an exile. His past glory and identity became a shame, and he didn't know where to go next.
He walked on the street in a daze, but his eyes were searching left and right, as if looking for a figure in the streets and alleys.
He didn't stop for a moment, as if he was possessed.
It was another night.
Helfas came to the open space near the dock again. Like the sailors, he liked to listen to stories, stories about the past, and stories about the present from those sailors.
He felt like he was the same as those sailors, riding a ship passing through one destination after another, not knowing when it would safely dock or whether it would capsize and be buried in the sea.
Neither of them knows where the future or their own ending will lead. The only thing that can make them feel happy is the distant story and the glass of wine in front of them.
And today, it happens to be the story of Helfas.
Helfas drank some wine.
In the crowd, he seemed to be listening to other people's stories, cheering quietly and applauding along with the crowd.
He also felt wonderful about the ups and downs of the story. Although those stories seemed completely different from what he had experienced, it did not prevent him from feeling that it was a good story.
People yearned for the legendary ancient Dragon King in the story, and he also yearned for Helfas, who was surrounded by his companions.
At this time, Bass found him, and he wanted to know why Helfas agreed to help retrieve the Black Iron Seal Scale.
In front of the campfire.
Helfas looked at the prince, thought for a while and then told him the truth.
"Your father took out the bronze statue of the Bronze Dragon King as a price for you and this country. I did agree to him, but I have no intention of spending time looking for that small scale in the vast sea."
"I have already cast a black iron seal scale, and I am going to complete the deal in two days, before I leave here."
Bass's expression changed instantly.
He was extremely shocked, and then lowered his head, his face turned red and he looked extremely embarrassed.
He clenched his hands into fists, and the expression on his face kept changing. Helfas could even see that his fingers were so hard that his nails dug into the flesh.
Finally, Bas knelt before Helfas.
He took a deep breath and seemed to finally calm down. He was no longer reckless or flinching.
He knew that there were some things that were inescapable, that there were things beyond death, that there were problems that had to be solved.
These things cannot be supported by momentary bravery, nor by the desire to chase cheers and admiration. Those things can support a person to move forward, but they cannot support a person to be fearless and unswerving.
He looked at Helfas with determination in his eyes: "Sir, I beg you, I hope you can suspend this transaction."
Helfas: "This doesn't seem to be what you say. Your father is not just because of you. The country of Barcelona and the people on this island need to seal the strange power. This is for the continuation and development of this country." "
Bass said: "I know, I understand what losing the power of the seal means to our country, so I am willing to accept the punishment of death; but now, I just hope that I can slow down for a while, and please don't take away the bronze." The bronze statue of the Dragon King.”
Helfas looked at Bas: "What are you going to do?"
Bass: "I want to go out to sea again to retrieve the Black Iron Sealing Scale."
Helfas shook his head: "This is really stupid behavior. The scale fell into the depths of the sea. How could you find it?"
"You'll die in the ocean and get nothing back."
"I know it might be unwise or even stupid to do that," Bass said.
"But it's a responsibility I have to take, and I have to do it regardless of whether it's smart or stupid."
"You may not know what that statue means to us and my country."
"My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather and my ancestors, all of them are looking forward to building a second city that can carry forward this country and restore its former glory."
"This is the hard work of several generations over the past 100 years, and the future that countless people are looking forward to."
Bass raised his head and looked at Helfas with eyes full of pleading. It was hard to tell that this was a prince who had been extremely proud before.
"The things I did wrong, the mistakes I made."
"I can't understand why it was someone else who paid the price, my country, and finally my gray-haired father was forced to bear and face this."
Bass's father hoped that he could just leave, but Bass knew that he could never leave like this.
Helfas: "Because he is your father."
"His blood flows through your body. You are a part of his life and the continuation of his life and ideal will."
"At least, it was."
But when he said this, Helfas changed his words.
"But I'm not your father. He can pay a lot for you, but I have no reason to pay for your mistakes."
Bass: "I know that my request is very presumptuous, and it has also caused some trouble for you, and delayed your schedule."
"I just hope you can wait, ten days, half a month is fine."
"If I haven't come back by then, let this transaction continue!"
Helfas looked into Bass's eyes and looked at his somewhat familiar eyebrows and face.
For a moment, Helfas seemed to see the farmer.
The same unwilling eyes, also full of pain.
Same night.
The other person was sitting by the fire pit in the cabin, looking at him across from Helfas.
"Always."
"I don't understand why the monsters want to eat people?"
"They obviously don't need people as food, what do they want?"
"What I don't understand even more is that they know that eating people will cost them a price, why do they still eat people?"
Maybe.
When the farmer saw the monster that destroyed his tribe when he was a teenager, he looked like this.
Helfas changed his words, shook his head, and said softly.
"You are really similar to your ancestors."
Before Bass could hear what Helfas was saying, Helfas started to tell him.
"I can promise you."
"I can even give you some special powers, which should help you find the sunken ship in the vast ocean, and also give you some ability to sense animals and strange smells."
"But this is not without a price."
Bass asked: "What price?"
Helfas: "Because this power has not been fully tested and used many times before, it may have some effects on your body, but the specific effects and problems are not clear at present."
"More importantly, there will be a special existence born among your offspring in the future. She is born with purple hair and a god-like appearance. At that time, I may come to pick her up."
The black-haired man raised his head and asked Bass very solemnly.
"Even so, are you still willing?"
"Perhaps leaving as your father arranged is a better choice."
Bass just thought for a while and nodded.
"I agree."
-
The next morning.
It was dawn.
On the deck of a ship docked at the pier.
Bass knelt in front of Helfas, feeling a little uneasy, not understanding what the mysterious man in front of him was going to do.
Helfas placed the Black Iron Seal Scale on the ground, as if preparing for possible unexpected situations, and in front of Bass, there was a wooden basin, a cage, and a pottery jar.
There was a fish in the wooden basin, a salamander in the cage, and a bug in the pottery jar.
Helfas grabbed the fish with one hand, and quietly held a bead in his other hand in his sleeve. He immediately saw the fish gradually disappear, as if it melted in the water.
Then, he grabbed the salamander in the cage, and the salamander gradually dissipated like foam.
Finally, the pottery jar, as Helfas's palm covered it, the movement inside also completely stopped.
Next.
Helfas put his hand on Bass's head.
Bass was a little panicked, as if he was afraid that he would disappear with the fish, salamander and bug, after all, the power displayed by Helfas was too weird.
But then, Bass felt a force pouring into his body.
He first felt something like a sharp blade on his neck and cheek that cut his flesh and skin. He endured the pain and dared not make a sound. You could see some special patterns on his neck and cheek.
Helfas used the power of purple to copy part of the fish's abilities and organs and temporarily merged them into Bass's body.
"From now on, you will have the ability to breathe in the sea."
Then.
Bass felt that his body softened like noodles and became out of his control.
Helfas: "From now on, you have a strong vitality to regenerate broken limbs. As long as it is not a fatal injury, you can gradually recover."
Finally, Bass felt a force rushing straight to his forehead, as if giving him a special sense.
Helfas: "From now on, you can chase the target through breath. Your palace should have something that has been stained with the black iron dragon scale for a long time. You can use that scale to track the whereabouts of the scale."
Helfas gave Bass three abilities, each of which is not a real supernatural ability, but can only be regarded as a talent possessed by some natural life, and at the same time made some enhancements.
But for Bass, it was already an unimaginable magical power beyond ordinary people.
Purple power can copy and clone the organs of ordinary life, and can also temporarily graft such organs and abilities onto others, but only life species can carry the fusion of organs of different species, for example, dragon people can only fuse new dragon people's organs.
The power given by Helfas with the power of the beads can only be said to be temporary, not permanent.
However, in this process, Bass's body did suffer from the radiation and influence of the special power of life species, and no one knew what consequences this would bring.
It could be positive or negative.
It may not have any direct impact.
Bass stood up and felt the strong feeling that kept coming in his body.
He felt that he seemed to have endless strength in his body, and his senses were incredibly sensitive. He could even feel how the water vapor in the air penetrated his breath and circulated in his body.
He jumped off the boat and dived into the water.
He fell to the bottom of the sea, opened his mouth, and found that he could breathe freely.
It was like living on land.
He passed by a sharp rock and deliberately rubbed it, blood seeped out and dissipated into the sea water, but when he surfaced, the wound had begun to heal.
Bass lay on the water, looking at Helfas who was standing quietly beside the ship.
The sparkling sea reflected rays of light, and he felt that the other party was extremely mysterious and could not see through him no matter how hard he looked.
"What kind of power is this?"
Moreover.
Is this really a Black Iron Dragon professional from the Dragon Palace?
Even those mysterious dragons, even the Golden Dragon King, cannot have such an ability!
Such a magical ability is simply unheard of.
Helfas ignored Bass's random thoughts and told him while standing on the boat.
"Your ability can only support one month, because you are not a true extraordinary professional after all, so no matter what, you must come back within a month."
"If you don't come back before then, your body will reject the power I give you, and your entire body will collapse."
"At that point, no one can save you."
Bass nodded: "Before that, I will definitely come back."
"If I don't come back, you don't have to wait for me anymore."
--
That day
Bass found his former companions, and like Bass who was criticized and reviled, they were also in trouble.
A journey to defeat the seal monster that was originally glorious and glorious turned into a shame in their lives.
And in their opinion, it might be difficult to erase in this life.
So when Bass found them, these people couldn't wait to shout.
"Go, of course."
"I would rather be a fool than a coward."
"Let's die, let's go back, even if we die, we will die with our brothers before."
"It's too uncomfortable to be looked down upon, Prince Bass, when will we set off?"
"Don't worry, this time we will be different from last time."
That's it.
They took the ship they escaped from before and went out to sea alone to find the black iron seal scale in the sea, as well as the companions who were buried in the sea.
When they set off, many people in the island country of Bass also came to watch and pointed at them.
Some shook their heads, some sighed, and some looked down on him.
Bass stood on the boat and faced it all.
When the boat raised its sails and turned around, facing the coast sideways.
He saw Helfas standing in the crowd.
He straightened his chest and bowed deeply to Helfas.
Helfas nodded slightly.
Looking into his eyes.
He knew that Bass was ready this time.
Now, even if there was a terrible monster blocking him, he had the courage and determination to never look back and never retreat.
The boat sailed away, and Helfas also left the crowd.
The king had already sent the bronze statue of the Bronze Dragon King to his temporary address in advance, and he was ready to study the secret of the bronze statue carefully.
He had no need for the power of the statue, he just wanted to know what the merchant had done at the time?
