Chapter 268: Dragon Emblem! The Little Crow's Heroic Aspirations!
Chapter 268: Dragon Emblem! The Little Crow's Heroic Aspirations!
The sun shone brightly, its warm rays dispelling the last remnants of winter's chill.
Su Ping squinted, shielding his eyes from the dazzling sunlight, and thought back to the recent events.
What was all that about? Wasn't it just a matter of bombarding the Thousand Flower Mystic Realm? The problem is, Elder Qin himself said that he and Xiao Zhi Ren could use the Emperor Peony freely, and with the Thousand Flower Paper Scroll's self-healing ability, the realm should recover on its own.
In the end, they even stopped playing and didn't bother to see them off. They left Elder Sang and Qin Xiaoxue behind to help restore the Thousand Flower Mystic Realm.
Of course, Su Ping understood that this was purely to allow Elder Sang and Qin Xiaoxue's Wood-type pets to aid in the realm's recovery.
It wasn't as if he had genuinely angered the old man.
Although the Thousand Flower Queen had consumed a billion points of energy and needed a short slumber, she wasn't seriously injured.
As for the flower bodies, they would regrow in time. At most, the scattered remains of the fire sword's impact would affect some of the flowers and plants outside the central garden of the Thousand Flower Mystic Realm.
Su Ping had offered to stay and help with the restoration, but Elder Sha had stopped him.
This was to prevent such situations, and Elder Sha had been waiting in Su Ping's Beast Space.
Not only did Qin Erlong stop him, but even Elder Sang directly prevented Su Ping's polite attempt to help.
What did this mean?
Did they not trust him?
Su Ping was indignant.
Whether it was the Forest Sea Secret Realm or the Thousand Flower Mystic Realm, they had nothing to do with his subjective consciousness.
How could this be blamed on him?
They even called him a 'Mystic Realm Killer'?
This was slander!
The more Su Ping thought about it, the more indignant he became towards this stereotypical view of the old couple.
Seeing Su Ping's expression, Liu Fuhai shook his head.
That's just like Su Ping.
The Thousand Flower Mystic Realm was one of Elder Qin's most prized possessions.
After all that commotion, Qin Erlong's face turned pale, but he managed to force a smile, indicating that Elder Qin was genuinely trying to hold back his anger.
However, Liu Fuhai couldn't help but smile. It was truly refreshing!
This old fellow had left the Thousand Flower Mystic Realm for him to use, intending to help the Thousand Flower Queen ascend to the Holy Spirit Rank. Although, as the president of the Beastmaster Association in Linzhou, it wasn't a big deal, and it was a mutually beneficial arrangement for the realm and the Thousand Flower Queen.
But this old fellow had a formidable wife who had given him the Wood Dragon from her Holy Spirit Rank ascension and also had a peak-level Thousand Flower Queen and the realm.
Who wouldn't be envious and jealous of this?
Now, seeing this old ghost's misfortune, it was naturally the best thing to happen.
Especially since, in a strict sense, this achievement also had a share of credit from Old Liu.
Getting into the car, Liu Fuhai finally felt relieved and sighed, "Indeed, it's no wonder you were granted the Dragon Emblem for skill cultivation. Being able to participate in such skill cultivation work in this lifetime is truly a blessing."
Su Ping glanced at the old man.
Is that so?
Would he die content with just one skill?
However...
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, "Dragon Emblem?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hong finally realized, "Su Ping, I wanted to tell you earlier that I reported the Heaven's Elemental Body to the Legend Master!"
"Hmm?"
Su Ping's eyebrows shot up, and his spirits lifted.
"What did he say?"
It must be said that over the past few years, Su Ping had grown up hearing the Legend Master's name.
Although he rarely appeared in public, his existence and the many changes he brought about were the primary reasons for the Dragon Country's current prosperity and development.
Of course, the First Emperor's legacy and the Dragon Country's rich historical heritage and accumulated strength also contributed to its current success.
However, before that, this name seemed so distant to him.
It was as if the Legend Master was a figment of his imagination, but now, this figure suddenly became clearer.
His research results had even caught the attention of the Legend Master?
Thinking of the Legend Master's words, Zhu Hong's expression became complex, and he awkwardly rubbed his nose, "Of course it's good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly granted you the Dragon Emblem, along with access to a portion of the Saint Spirit Realm and the authority of a Master Cultivator. But you'll need to go to the Imperial Capital to claim some of these things personally."
Su Ping gave a strange look to the person beside him.
Why did Master Zhu Hong and Sage Sang both have this expression when they mentioned this person?
Does this person have any issues in this regard?
However, it was obvious that at this moment, he was clearly more interested in something else.
"Um, what is the Dragon Emblem?"
To be mentioned repeatedly by this person and Liu Fuhai, this thing was obviously not ordinary.
Of course, being named after the dragon was not ordinary as well.
Liu Fuhai, who was standing beside him, sighed with admiration but without jealousy:
"I don't know much about the specifics, let Master Zhu tell you."
Zhu Hong hummed for a moment before smiling slightly:
"Fine, you'll come into contact with it sooner or later anyway. But Su Ping, there's no need to be anxious. Giving you the Dragon Emblem is also a recognition of your identity and contribution to the Dragon Country!
The Dragon Emblem is a symbol of a Beast Tamer's identity in Dragon City. Those who hold the Dragon Emblem can freely enter Dragon City..."
"Hmm... wait!"
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Free entry into Dragon City?
Could it be that the Imperial Capital has some restrictions on entering and exiting? If the rules are based on the difficulty of obtaining the Dragon Emblem, then wouldn't the Dragon City in the Imperial Capital be empty?
Hearing Su Ping's question, Zhu Hong laughed:
"It's good that you don't know. In most cases, the Imperial Capital, Capital City, and Dragon City are all names for the capital city. However, in fact, Dragon City is Dragon City, and the Imperial Capital is the Imperial Capital! Of course, it's just that both are located together."
Zhu Hong didn't keep him in suspense:
"The reason why the Dragon Country is called the Dragon Country is largely related to Dragon City. Dragon City is currently the largest and most unique cyclical secret realm that has been discovered.
It's even a bit inaccurate to call it a secret realm. This is almost like another true small world! A small world full of dragons, and many of the dragon pets that appear in the Dragon Country are produced from within Dragon City.
The entrance to Dragon City is located within the Imperial Capital, and it is also the absolute secret realm of the Dragon Country.
Su Ping blinked, so that's how it is!
So, the Dragon Emblem is the key to this door?
Seeming to notice Su Ping's astonishment, Zhu Hong smiled and said:
"Of course, the Dragon Emblem is not just a pass to enter Dragon City. In addition to entering and exiting Dragon City, each Dragon Emblem also has one opportunity!"
"Opportunity?"
"Yes, the opportunity to obtain a dragon pet. Each Dragon Emblem allows you to enter Dragon City and find a suitable young dragon to take away and become a Dragon Tamer. Of course, it's not just that. In general, there are many rules in Dragon City.
When I contracted Da Huang, it was also due to a fortunate coincidence. But no matter what, entering Dragon City doesn't mean anyone can take away a dragon pet. You need a certain level of strength. Even with the Dragon Emblem, you can't just go to Dragon City and contract a dragon pet.
After all, many of the tests and rules in Dragon City are not based on your pet's abilities but on the Beast Tamer's realm and capabilities!"
Zhu Hong shrugged.
Su Ping nodded.
So that's how it is.
"In addition to this, the Dragon Emblem is also a symbol of identity within the country. In the Dragon Country, any Beast Tamer not higher than the Emperor Rank, as long as they belong to the Dragon Country, must show the utmost respect and reverence to the holder of the Dragon Emblem.
At the same time, anyone who persecutes the holder of the Dragon Emblem will face an unyielding situation from both the Dragon Country and Dragon City. In general, it's quite useful."
Zhu Hong added another sentence.
Su Ping now had a better understanding.
This was equivalent to one of the highest honors within the Dragon Country.
Although it couldn't be considered an iron-clad guarantee or a life-saving talisman, it was probably close.
Moreover, it was a dragon!
Su Ping hadn't even seen the Crystal Dragon from the Beast Tamer assessment, and he might be able to obtain a dragon by chance.
Hmm... if he managed to get these two dragons, how would he raise them?
It was impossible to contract both, but he could raise them at home! Could his dream of a branch of the Universal Heart 'Dragon' possibly come true?
Su Ping couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Su Ping indulged in his beautiful fantasy.
Just as Su Ping was immersed in his thoughts and began his return journey, a unique rescue operation commenced...
In the eastern suburbs of Linzhou,
Without the Universal Heart, the residential area was located at the boundary.
Still within the residential area, but not in the city center.
As a result, the bustling atmosphere in the vicinity has greatly diminished.
Compared to other residential areas, this place is even more remote.
Even when people approach this area, most of them would rather take a detour.
The reason is simple: the bloody smell here is relatively strong.
Of course, in modern society, and even though there are some special sects in the world, there would never be any sacrificial activities on such a large scale.
Especially in Dragon Country, this is the place where faith-based sects are the rarest.
Naturally, it's not a crime scene either.
On the huge gate, a plaque hangs above the entrance, with several large characters written on it:
【Grand Massacre Pavilion】
Obviously, the last character already explains the purpose of this place.
Indeed, it's a slaughterhouse.
Even in this era, this industry still exists, and it's not a business that ordinary people can afford to engage in.
Inside the slaughterhouse, the animals being slaughtered are, of course, low-level pets bred specifically to provide meat for humans and other pets.
For example, pig-like beasts and the like.
In addition, some pets and pet tamers with better conditions also enjoy 'game' from the wild.
Those ferocious beasts in the wild, due to their high price, naturally become 'delicacies' on the tables of some people and pets.
In fact, if we're talking about taste, these types of food are far inferior to the meat pigs and other poultry and livestock pets that have been bred for many years specifically for meat quality.
However, as mentioned earlier, because of their rarity and high prices, they serve to emphasize one's status, just like how luxury goods or 'affordable luxury' are defined.
For people like Qin Liu, or even Sage Sang, Master Zhu Hong, their status, position, and taste don't require any external objects to emphasize. Their own pets are enough to do so.
However, people with slightly higher status and wealth tend to pursue these things even more.
Therefore, this type of industry has emerged accordingly.
But it must be said that as long as the captured and slaughtered pets are not illegal, and they are caught in the wild, this practice is not against the law.
After all, wild pets do pose a threat to human pet tamers.
So, in this slaughterhouse called Grand Massacre Pavilion, there are quite a few such pets gathered.
Especially in the specially made iron cages outside, each cage contains a pet.
These pets are of a higher standard compared to those ferocious beast-type pets, and even more so.
The main reason is that these cages contain birds that are eager to spread their wings and fly, but are hopelessly locked inside.
However, compared to the other pets with injuries all over their bodies, these birds are treated relatively well.
Wild ferocious beasts on land are naturally less precious than flying pets in the sky.
These things are truly rare, the kind that ordinary people can't afford.
Raised here, they are always ready for some big customers to come by, either to be sold as a package or to be taken away as needed.
Of course, these things are genuinely rare, and bird-type pets are extremely difficult to capture without the corresponding means. In such a situation, there aren't any high-level birds here, at most, there are only more than ten of them.
As mentioned earlier, high-level bird-type pets are also difficult to capture, and those that have reached the Marquis level are even more cautious of human areas and won't approach easily.
For this small slaughterhouse, such high-level bird-type pets are hard to come by.
It is also because of this that, at this moment, the figure circling in the sky above makes the numerous slaughterhouse staff extremely nervous.
It's a strange fire crow.
Its body exudes a Marquis-level aura, which is enough to make everyone in this Grand Massacre Pavilion tremble with fear!
Indeed,
At this moment, circling above the slaughterhouse, the fire crow that is preparing to rescue its own kind and wants to become a 'hero' is none other than the little crow, Ya Ya, who hasn't been seen much these days.
