Chapter 1146: Chapter 472: Regressing Era (Part 3)
No wonder the King of Illusions is praised as the most beautiful woman in the Wizard World, the rumors aren’t exaggerated.
But just moments later, Ron forcibly adjusted his mindset, refocusing on the current task.
This rapid self-control ability made Aselia appreciate him even more:
"Very good, being able to maintain rationality in the presence of such beauty indicates your willpower is indeed extraordinary.
Most male creatures, including males of our Dragon Race, lose their ability to think the instant they see her."
"However, unlike Panadora, you possess a quality she does not."
Aselia’s tone suddenly became serious:
"What quality?"
"True wisdom, not just mere intelligence."
She explained in detail:
"Although Panadora is strong, her mindset is essentially the traditional ’power above all’ mode.
When faced with problems, her first reaction is always to solve them with greater force."
"But your performance in answering the Soul Knight’s three questions reminded me of those true sages of the Second Era.
You resolved every trap not with brute force or luck, but with wisdom."
"After obtaining the powerful ability of Dragon Language Suppression, you weren’t overwhelmed by the power; instead, you first analyzed its limitations and side effects."
"A thirst for knowledge that surpasses greed for power is an invaluable trait."
She continued her analysis:
"Most wizards, after obtaining great power, become lost in the pleasure of the power itself.
But you have always maintained a curiosity about the principles behind it, which is the hallmark of a true sage."
Just then, Edwin warned in a low voice:
"Those indigenous allied troops are 200 meters ahead, we need to decide whether to bypass them or confront them directly."
Ron quickly analyzed the situation:
"Bypassing would waste time, but direct confrontation is too risky.
We’ll adopt a feint strategy, create a commotion to attract their attention, then swiftly pass through on the flank."
While commanding tactics, he continued the conversation with Aselia:
"Let me tell you a secret, one even Panadora doesn’t know."
Aselia’s voice suddenly became mysterious and serious:
"I possess the ’perfect preservation’ trait."
This sudden information stirred Ron’s heart:
"What does that mean?"
"The Thunder Dragon Race has a hidden talent, which may appear in only one out of ten thousand individuals."
Aselia’s tone grew proud:
"Dragons with this talent do not have their souls gradually dissipate after death like ordinary beings.
Instead, they are perfectly preserved within their remains, including all memories, knowledge, and abilities."
"More importantly, through Bloodline Resonance, I can pass these accumulated abilities over hundreds or thousands of years to descendants, or bloodline-compatible individuals."
Ron immediately grasped the value of this ability.
It’s equivalent to a complete inheritance system, capable of directly infusing a dragon’s entire essence into an heir.
"But why choose me?"
He cautiously asked, knowing that in the Wizard World, any seemingly free gift often hides a corresponding price.
"Because I admit, our Dragon Race has a fatal flaw—being too straightforward."
Aselia’s tone carried both self-deprecation and reflection:
"We believe that strength means fighting honorably, and schemes and trickery are despicable means used by the weak.
What was the result? Played around by you ’weak’ humans."
"For example, how did Panadora deceive me back then?
She said she’d build me the most comfortable nest, provide the most nutritious food, letting me happily grow in the safest environment. I actually believed her!"
Her voice turned somewhat angry:
"Any existence with a bit of cunning could see the trap in her words.
But that’s how we dragons are—when others show goodwill, we trust wholeheartedly."
"Now I understand, in a world dominated by humans, pure strength isn’t as important as wisdom.
Force can solve immediate problems, but only wisdom can predict future crises."
Aselia paused briefly, her tone becoming firm:
"So, I want to follow you.
Not because you’re strong enough, but because you’re smart enough, smart enough to survive in this complex world long-term."
"As an exchange, I can offer you three things."
She began to detail the specific help she could provide:
"First, fragments of my remains are still hidden somewhere in this area.
Although most useful things have been taken by Panadora, a small portion of Bloodline Essence still remains."
"Second, through a special Bloodline Fusion ceremony, I can evolve your Red Blood Flying Dragon Bloodline into the ’Thunderfire Tyrant’ Bloodline.
This will not only greatly enhance your existing Flame Ability but also grant you the power to control lightning."
"Third, and most importantly—I can be your think tank.
Although I’m not as cunning as you, I’ve personally experienced the prosperous era of the Second Era, possessing much precious knowledge that has already been lost."
