Chapter 656: The Dragon Race Doing Business with Dwarves
After announcing the locations of the final two Sacred Swords, a hint of excitement appeared on Qiming's face.
The fact that he had failed to deduce the whereabouts of the Sacred Swords over a hundred years ago had always been a source of regret for him. However, after that incident, he knew that relying solely on his eighteenth-level Prophecy Art was insufficient to find the Sacred Swords that had hidden themselves. This time, he had successfully deduced the locations of the Sacred Swords; although he had only managed it by borrowing the power of the other four, it was enough to make up for his regret.
"So, they are in these two places?" Lingyun nodded, clearly having already made up his mind.
Following this, Lingyun reached out and beckoned; with a whistle, four streaks of light descended from the sky and landed before him.
Qiming fixed his eyes on them and could not help but gasp. These four streaks of light were none other than the four great Sacred Swords.
The four Sacred Swords hovered beside Lingyun, emitting a hum; they were clearly excited to be about to meet their final two companions.
"Dragon Race? Sea Race? Neither of these are easy races to deal with!" Upon hearing Qiming's words, Shalier could not help but knit his brows.
"That's right. Ever since the Millennium Holy War, almost all the dragons left the Continent and migrated to Dragon Island. Dragon Island is located in the vast ocean; apart from the dragons, no one knows exactly where it is. The Sea Race is even more so; after the Millennium Holy War, they hid themselves in the Endless Ocean and never appeared on land again. In a sense, they are even harder to find than the Dragon Race."
"I don't know much about the Sea Race, but as for the Dragon Race, perhaps I can provide some information. Who knows, we might actually be able to make a trip to Dragon Island," Mohan, who was to the side, suddenly said.
"Mohan, you know the tracks of the Dragon Race?" Hearing Mohan's words, even Qiming's face showed a trace of doubt.
One must know that although the Dragon Race had retreated to Dragon Island, they remained an extremely powerful race. If one added the recuperation of the last thousand years, barring any accidents, even the Light Church might not be able to compare to the current Dragon Race.
It must be known that the Dragon Race has always been a proud race. Qiming using the Prophecy Art to discover the Sacred Swords were on Dragon Island—even if discovered by those old antiques, it would at most lead to a small protest. After all, this act did not expose the location of Dragon Island itself.
But if Qiming used the Prophecy Art to calculate the location of Dragon Island and was discovered by those old antiques of the Dragon Race, it would inevitably lead to a dispute. After all, such a thing is like someone using a telescope to peek into your home; let alone the Dragon Race, no one would want such a thing to happen to them. He dared not even imagine the final consequences.
He had been racking his brains over how to find the tracks of Dragon Island, so he was pleasantly surprised that Mohan might actually know of its existence.
"That's right. Perhaps you don't know, but for these past few decades, there has actually been quite a bit of contact between the Dragon Race and us Dwarves," Mohan said.
"This, how did this happen?" Qiming asked with some curiosity.
"Well, you should all know that everyone in the Dragon Race is a miser; collecting gold and silver treasures is their favorite thing to do, right?" Mohan asked.
"That's right!" Shalier nodded.
"But, many treasures have owners. After the Millennium Holy War, the people of the Dragon Race spent a lot of effort to collect treasures. Later, a dragon discovered a giant gold mine on an island around Dragon Island. That dragon had a sudden inspiration and actually ran to the territory of our Dwarf Race to make a deal with us," Mohan said.
"Gold mine, Dwarves, a deal?" A look of disbelief appeared in Chen Jing's eyes. "That dragon, surely it didn't want your Dwarf Race to refine gold for it?"
"That's right, that's exactly it!" Mohan nodded.
"You should know that the Dragon Race is full of treasures, and the vast majority of them can be used to forge weapons and equipment. But these things are not easy to get; after all, the dignity of the Dragon Race cannot be provoked. However, after that dragon found the Dwarf Race, it indicated that it could provide a portion of materials unique to the Dragon Race, and the requirement was for us to refine the gold from the gold mine."
"That dragon really has ideas!" The corners of Lingyun's eyes could not help but twitch.
"Later, this matter was discovered by other dragons, and they actually started to imitate that dragon's approach and began doing business with us. Among them, there is even a Dragon Race Elder. I am wondering if we can go through that Dragon Race Elder to help you find a way to Dragon Island!"
"So that's how it is. No wonder the top-tier equipment produced by your Dwarf Race over these years all contained some materials from the Dragon Race. I initially thought your Dwarf Race had wiped out the Dragon Race; I never expected it to be for this reason!" Qiming's tone also held a hint of relief.
"Then can you contact that Dragon Race Elder now?" Lingyun asked.
"This, that is no problem. It just so happens that during this period, that Dragon Race Elder entrusted me to refine quite a bit of gold, as well as a batch of equipment. When he comes to find me, I can bring this matter up with him. However, I cannot guarantee what the final result will be," Mohan said.
"Regardless, being able to contact someone from the Dragon Race is a good thing, not to mention it is an Elder. If he has even a little common sense, he should know the importance of this matter," Qiming said. "After all, the Dragon Race back then was almost forced to the brink of extinction by the Lord of the Demon World. If it weren't for the Lingyun Mercenary Group taking action, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many dragons left in this world."
"If there is really no other way, I can also find the location of Dragon Island, it might just be a bit more troublesome," Lingyun said, waving his hand.
"You can find the location of Dragon Island using other methods?" There was a hint of surprise in Qiming's tone.
"That's right, did you think the resonance between these six Sacred Swords was a joke?" Lingyun said with a smile.
As he spoke, the four Sacred Swords beside him emitted a hum, then rose into the air one after another, turning into four streaks of light that vanished into Lingyun's palm.
Seeing this scene, Qiming also felt a sudden realization. If he could borrow the connection between the Sacred Swords to deduce their location using the Prophecy Art, then Lingyun, who had an extraordinary relationship with the Lingyun Mercenary Group, would certainly be able to find the locations of the other two Sacred Swords using the connection between them, even if it might not be as easy as it was for him.
