Chapter 2974: The Possibility of Friendly Exchange

In fact, Xia Duo really dislikes the Netherese Mage style of arresting or killing at the slightest provocation; if it could be confirmed that the other party is a threat, then taking action in advance would not be out of the question.

But in the current situation, if it were not for a comprehensive scan, it might be impossible to ever discover the other party, and if that were the case, then what is there to talk about regarding an arrest?

Xia Duo is indeed very envious of this ultimate technology of the Bloodline Domain, but being envious does not mean one must use unscrupulous means to obtain it; it could entirely be achieved through friendly exchange.

At least until the other party shows malice, he does not approve of using violence.

Furthermore, just as he said to Huo En just now, why assume there is only one such existence as the target? Perhaps you take them on the front foot, and their fleet descends from the sky on the back foot!

"The target is a dragon, and dragons are generally not gregarious creatures; it might just be a transcendent individual, and if we miss this time, we might never have such an opportunity again."

Huo En's tone revealed a trace of fanaticism, and to persuade Xia Duo, he further pointed out, "No matter how advanced the technology of the Bloodline Domain is, it is difficult to form a qualitative leap for individual power; the power of an individual creature is limited after all."

"Unless it is a god, we have a great chance of succeeding! Actually, even if it is a god, it is not necessarily without a chance!"

But before Huo En could continue to tout this, Xia Duo decisively interrupted him, "Stop, stop! You said the alien you discovered is a dragon? Are you sure?"

"Hmm?" Huo En clearly did not expect Xia Duo to suddenly ask such a question; is that the key? The key is the ultimate technology of the Bloodline Domain!

That possibility is not at all to a degree that can be ignored, but rather it is a real, objective existence, and it does not shift based on personal will.

It is just that Saville has not been back for many years, and during that period Xia Duo has been waiting for the Holy Golden Dragon Empire's conquering army to arrive at the Main Plane, but he has always kept this matter in mind.

A civilization that has unified an entire large Plane, if it wants to progress, then in all likelihood it is to discover new Planes; the Plane where Xia Duo is currently located has not yet been unified, so one cannot assume the goodwill of that Holy Golden Dragon Empire.

"Just like Half-Elves, saying they are human is fine, and saying they are Elves is also fine; looking purely at the bloodline sequence, one could entirely consider them a brand-new race."

The Holy Golden Dragon Empire!

"I understand!"

Golden Dragons achieved through the promotion method possess the same citizen status as Innate Golden Dragons, and they can also hold Promotion Rituals for "students" of other races to promote more New Golden Dragons.

"It is impossible to be one hundred percent sure; after all, we haven't even completed the bloodline sequencing of humans, let alone dragons. We can only make a rough judgment: there is a 54% possibility it is a Golden Dragon, a 20% possibility it is a Blue Dragon, a 12% possibility it is a Silver Dragon, and the possibility of it being other dragons is lower. Of course, this is only a judgment based on our understanding of the dragons we have already come into contact with, and there may be a certain deviation from the actual situation, but that it is a dragon is one hundred percent certain."

Actually, if Huo En were not right in front of him, Xia Duo would really want to gasp; just based on existing research, there is more than a fifty percent chance it is a Golden Dragon, which truly increases the possibility that the target comes from the Holy Golden Dragon Empire!

There may be some invisible class distinctions within that, but Saville only stayed in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire for five years, most of the time having to hide himself, and did not have much time to deeply explore that vast dragon kingdom.

The reason he values Plane Exploration so much, besides using it as a final retreat for the Main Plane's extinction crisis, is also to a large extent to guard against the Holy Golden Dragon Empire.

All along, Xia Duo has had such worries: Saville was able to track the Tower of Time's beacon to return, so could the dragons of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire track Saville and then track the Tower of Time's beacon to discover the Main Plane?

But the Golden Dragon is the common pursuit of all other races, and it has already formed a culture; almost any race would take becoming a Golden Dragon as a goal, and this goal is not a delusion.

"These Bloodline Source Lock combinations are hidden within the normal human bloodline sequence, completely different from normal Dragon Bloodline Warlocks; the bloodline sequence of a Dragon Bloodline Warlock and a human are different and can be very clearly distinguished."

It is just that the necessity of doing so still needs a question mark, neither small nor large.

But if one infers from this, the main citizens of this Holy Golden Dragon Empire are all Golden Dragons, and other races take pride in becoming dragons; if an Innate Golden Dragon and an Innate Golden Dragon combine, is that not the reason why the target discovered this time is suspected to have multiple dragon bloodlines?

After a long silence, Xia Duo continued to ask Huo En; he still had one thing he wanted to confirm, "That dragon disguised as a human, can Jilan High Tower determine its species?"

Until now, the Main Plane is even within Netheril, and discovering the existence of what is suspected to be the Holy Golden Dragon Empire—how can this not make Xia Duo feel shocked and fearful!

But besides the dragon civilization of the Main Plane's ancient era, are there any other dragon civilizations capable of researching the ultimate technology of the Bloodline Domain?

But this guess is so easy to match; a dragon that has mastered extremely high-level Bloodline Domain technology popping out of thin air in the Main Plane—this is absurd without even needing to think about it.

"I understand, let me think."

As long as one works hard to contribute to the Empire, then finds a Golden Dragon mentor, drinks the mentor's blood, and completes a Promotion Ritual, one can obtain a Golden Dragon body.

But in order to persuade Xia Duo to help with the arrest, he still patiently explained, "Did I not say just now? Perhaps I forgot; the target is indeed a dragon. We detected a large number of Bloodline Source Lock combinations in its bloodline sequence that match those of dragons."

Not to mention that in the early days when the Dragon Madness Mythallar was intact, only a very small number of dragons protected by Elves could avoid falling into madness; after countless years like this, even the most advanced civilization would be lost.

If Saville had never returned, then Xia Duo might still consider the possibility of an "alien" dragon, but Saville personally experienced that Holy Golden Dragon Empire on his way back.

Xia Duo nodded silently; at this moment, he actually could not control a guess that even he did not want to believe—

Of course, if the Holy Golden Dragon Empire really has mastered the ultimate technology of the Bloodline Domain, then they actually have the ability to change all kinds of mixed-bloods into pure-blood Golden Dragons.

……

The Main Plane has been plagued by the Dragon Madness Mythallar for countless years, and dragons have been unable to form a civilization at all; it is just like on Earth, if all humans globally fell into madness collectively every few decades, how could civilization organize and develop?

According to Saville's account, the Holy Golden Dragon Empire does not only have Golden Dragons, but has all kinds of races, including different branches of dragons, as well as true aliens like humans and Elves.
