Medicine Spoon often came over to talk to Longyear and enlighten the young dragonborn.
Longyi was still depressed, but he started reading books and talking to Medicine Spoon about the voices in his head.
To the chaotic dragon language, Ryuji didn’t feel like a burden.
“At first, I thought they were loud. But it’s actually a lot of dragons leaving messages, they leave stories and spells about themselves, hoping that those who come after them will remember them.”
“Dragons look mighty and have a lot of troubles themselves.”
“I heard one dragon say that its scales often fell off, especially on its neck and head, which often embarrassed it in appearance, and that it even had to glue scales from other animals to its bare dragon skin.”
“That dragon said that it had a terminal disease, and that the scales around its head and neck would eventually fall off, turning it into a chicken that had been stripped of its feathers like a chicken …… No amount of dragon language magic could save the scales from flaking off.”
“It eventually found a secret medicine that caused thick black coarse hairs to grow where they had been shed, and then its entire head was covered in long, thick hairs like weeds.”
“These hairs couldn’t be eradicated and grew longer and longer, eventually wrapping its head completely, which caused it to suffer a great loss when it fought with an enemy, and finally died of serious injuries.”
“There was also a dragon that created a powerful forbidden spell that was powerful enough to destroy a country. However, the killing power was too great, and the dragon clan itself was injured by the blast and then died from a sneak attack by a mortal enemy ……”
Long Ji recounted the regrets left behind by the Dragon Clan.
Medicine Spoon listened patiently.
To Long Ji, Medicine Spoon said the most.
“Young people should eat more, eat well, read more, and rest well.”
After a certain day, Medicine Spoon never came again.
Long Ji in the room waited left and right, and finally couldn’t help but open the door and ask the scholars about the situation outside.
From the scholars, he learnt that Prophet Medicine Spoon had died yesterday.
Lu Yao saw that a question mark first popped up on Long Ji’s head, and he didn’t seem to believe it. He went all the way out and saw the tombstone where the Prophet was buried behind the temple, and only then did he completely die.
He crouched by the tombstone and didn’t move for a long time.
Then a mess suddenly surfaced above Long Ji’s head, a white light flashed on him, his life value dropped by a hair, and a ball of light surrounded the tombstone.
An apparition emerged from the tombstone, and it was none other than Pill Spoon.
“Is this the Dragon Grammar technique?”An exclamation mark appeared on the head of the Medicine Spoon apparition.
A sad expression with the corners of his eyes drooping appeared on Ryuji’s head, “Yakuso-sensei, I’m sorry, if I could have learnt some of the Dragon Language Technique earlier, I might have been able to save you.”
“Don’t worry about it, death isn’t something to be feared, it’s just part of the journey.”
The Ghost Prophet comforted, “What’s more, Lord Yao Shen has long since created Saniro for us, where the ghosts will reside. I’m not going to disappear, just change my life.”
“Ryuji, you have a talent that makes many people dream.”
Medicine Spoon spoke, “Remember? You said that because a dragon is a dragon.”
“The Dragon King is majestic because the Dragon Nest sits in the north. The cold northern continent has always been peaceful and stable, and even if a divine war broke out in a distant place, the flames of war couldn’t cross the borders drawn by the Dragon’s Nest.”
“People revere the Dragon’s Nest and praise the Dragon King, also because it is the faithful guard of the gods, the support of the northern continent, and the keeper of the roof of the entire world. Everything it does, every single person sees and appreciates.”
“You were born in the north, you should also know that the original dragons were not like this, at that time everyone was full of fear of dragons, and there were countless people who wanted to challenge and breach the dragon’s nest.”
“With the Dwarf Adventure Group Blast Furnace Wizards as the leader, many adventure groups and monks have tried to challenge the Dragon King.”
“But now, if there are still people who have such thoughts, we would probably think that either they are crazy or fools.”
Medicine Spoon said, “A dragon is a dragon, but this is also the dragon’s choice. Between monster and greatness, it chose the more difficult but fulfilling latter.”
“What I can tell you is that when you prove to the whole world that what you’re doing has an extraordinary positive meaning, and that many people are following in your footsteps, it’s a really great feeling ……”
An exclamation mark popped up on Ryuji’s head.
“Alright, I’ve been ranting for too long, it’s a common problem of old people la.”
“Goodbye then, I’ll be heading south to see my old friends.”
“Good luck.”
The apparition slowly disappeared.
Two small figures emerged above Ryuji’s head and began to fight with each other.
Finally, the two little people melted into one.
A light bulb lit up on Ryuji’s head and he said to himself, “A dragon is a dragon is a dragon is a dragon ……”
“A dragon is a dragon.”
“A dragon is a dragon!”
“I am the dragon!”
The young Dragonborn Prophet opened his arms and waved his wide batwings. Although he couldn’t fly, his aura was already very different.
Lu Yao double-clicked his mouse and found that one more item had been added to the Dragonji abilities.
……
[Spell of Psychic]: a Dragon Grammar spell that calls upon the ghosts of the dead through corpses or debris. Long Ji triggers the casting of the spell by sacrificing a portion of his blood.
……
Lu Yao looked outrageous.
Although easily self-absorbed by outside judgement, Long Ji was a genius when it came to Dragon Language Spells, and was more of a pure-blooded dragon race than Pasha.
Lu Yao immediately gave him extra encouragement.
The lvup↑ icon on top of Long Ji’s head kept lighting up.
Lu Yao had consumed a total of 5,500 Faith points to raise him to level 10, which was the most cost-effective stage.
Long Ji knelt on the ground, “Great God Yao, thank you for your blessings, I will do my best to utilise my abilities and become a prophet like Teacher Medicine Spoon.”
He got up and glanced at the tombstone before turning his head and entering the shrine.
In the next few hours, Long Ji rarely went out.
He kept sitting inside the shrine, facing the wall in the corner.
Oval shapes of chaotic dragon language kept surfacing above Ryuji’s head.
He endeavoured to decipher it and recorded it with a charcoal pencil on the wall, and the entire wall was filled with various symbols and handwriting that he had written down. Each time the record was complete, he then transcribed them onto a parchment scroll to preserve them.
This was a huge undertaking, and the Dragon language itself was full of confusion, and it took a lot of time and patience to sort through and categorise it.
……
Lu Yao focused his attention on Yao City itself.
The death of Prophet Medicine Spoon had caused many citizens to spontaneously wear sacred flowers and hold torches as they mourned in front of the monument.
Because this prophet had said.
–Fire is our friend.
Compared to the previous two prophets of Yao City, Medicine Spoon had turned this holy city into the most stable city in this world, and she had made gradual attempts based on stability, eventually allowing the introduction of magic potions.
She fulfilled the goals and wishes she had when she was a Prophet, allowing theology and medicine to be combined together, playing a huge influence on the entire world and being the guide of the Transcendent Era.
Lu Yao recalled.
Ever since Pill Spoon had served as the Prophet of Yao City, he had never worried about the city. He was more concerned about Salt City next door, Saniro in the south, and even Canopy City in the experimental area.
Perhaps he had subconsciously felt that Yao City would not have any problems.
There was no heck of a good fighter.
Unlike Shang Li and Tong Hai who had saved the day like that, Pill Spoon just pressed on and didn’t let the threat happen, and this was the most stable settlement in the entire world.
No matter how reluctant he was, Pill Spoon had already taken off his burden and went to the south to start a new life.
Lu Yao could only look forward as well.
Medicine Spoon’s departure did not affect the order of Yao City.
The Temple Society continued to operate as usual, with Chubirole inheriting the position of head of the Society, leading the entire Temple Society to continue researching magic pills, managing the city, and spreading and upholding the beliefs of the gods.
In the temple, Prophet Long Ji was focused on recording and translating the dragon language.
Yao City from then on, the Prophet finally did not have to manage the city anymore, and administration and theology were further separated, allowing each to focus on what they were good at.
