"It's still alive!" Sylvia said suddenly while looking at the skeleton of the abyss dragon.

In the carriage, Earl Belmont did not understand what Sylvia meant for a while and was stunned. On the contrary, Leo and the old Duke understood it.

Leo didn't seem particularly surprised, because the moment he saw the bones of the Abyss Demonic Dragon, he felt the strong life energy from the bones. For this reason, he immediately used the power of the Eye of Reality to look at the bones and found that the bones were

It is entangled with streams of energy from the Abyss Demonic Dragon, and these energies just combine to form an Abyss Demonic Dragon energy body.

As for the old Duke, he was extremely surprised by Sylvia's words, because he was the only one in the family who knew the secret that this skeleton was still alive. This was also the biggest secret that the Belmont family patriarchs had to keep for generations.

"It's too weak, it's just a baby dragon!" Sylvia added.

As Sylvia said, although the skeleton of the Abyss Demonic Dragon looks very scary, its size is still too small compared to the real Abyss Demonic Dragon, and its bloodline power is compared to Sylvia.

It's only better in terms of quantity, but far behind in terms of quality.

Leo saw all this clearly and said in a deep voice: "Although it is only a young dragon, its bloodline is extremely pure. For the people of the Belmont family, especially those who are young and whose bloodline is not pure enough,

A member of the Belmont family, the blood of the Abyss Demonic Dragon cub is more than enough." As he spoke, he looked at the old Duke and said: "If I guessed correctly, this so-called sacrifice should be intended to use this baby dragon.

Come and baptize the next generation of your Belmont family?"

Seeing Leo telling his family's biggest secret so easily, the expressions of the old Duke and his son could not help but darken a little, but they soon recovered, and presumably they also understood that this secret could not be hidden from Leo.

, even if Leo can't see it now, Leo will still know this secret when he participates in the ceremony soon.

"How did you get this Abyss Dragon cub?" Sylvia asked extremely curiously: "As far as I know, the Abyss Dragon will not leave the Abyss Dragon Nest before it reaches adulthood."

"Indeed, the memories we inherited do tell us that it is impossible for the abyss dragon cubs to leave the dragon's nest before they reach adulthood, let alone the abyss." Now that the biggest secret has been seen by Leo, the old Duke also feels that other things are not possible.

It was necessary to conceal it any longer, so he explained happily: "But there are always exceptions. You must know that any abyss creature, even a superior species like the Abyss Demon Dragon, still cannot abandon their greedy nature that penetrates into the bones. As long as the bait is attractive enough,

, even the most cautious Abyss Demonic Dragon will fall for the bait."

Although the old Duke explained that the method of obtaining the abyssal dragon cubs was like fishing, he still had reservations about the details, especially what was used as bait to lure the abyssal dragon cubs and how to get them in this world.

He did not reveal the key points such as locating the Abyss Demonic Dragon cub in the abyss.

However, even so, Sylvia still quickly thought of the name of a building in Moorish City, and therefore thought of something that was most likely to be used as bait, and asked in a deep voice: "You have scarlet on hand?"

stone?"

Seeing that Sylvia thought of the item as a bait so quickly, the old Duke was also a little surprised. At the same time, he nodded and acknowledged Sylvia's guess, and slightly corrected it, saying: "It's not that I have scarlet stone, it's that at that time

have."

Leo, who possesses part of the memory of the Abyss Serpent, also knows very well what the scarlet stone means to the Abyss Demon Dragon. If there is anything else in the abyss that can make the Abyss Demon Dragon cub lose all sense and rush out of the dragon's nest at all costs,

To break out of the abyss and venture into other worlds, scarlet stone is an extremely important treasure for the growth of the abyss dragon cubs.

Scarlet stone is only produced when a world collapses. It is said to be the last source left before the destruction of a world, fused with the aura of the abyss, which contains the essence of the abyss.

Scarlet stone is of little use to other abyss superior races. At best, it is just a beautiful-looking decoration. But for the abyss dragon, especially the cub of the abyss dragon, a complete scarlet stone can save the need.

The Abyss Demon Dragon takes a long time to grow, which is enough for a baby Abyss Demon Dragon to cross the most dangerous period of infancy and directly approach or even enter adulthood.

It is conceivable that when someone takes out a scarlet stone as bait, even if the abyss dragon cub knows that there is a trap hidden in it, it will rush forward and bite the hook regardless.

Although the old Duke did not introduce the situation in detail, both Leo and Sylvia could tell from those words that there were other people besides the Belmont family at that time, and this person not only took out the scarlet stone, but also

Helped the Belmont family capture the Abyss Demonic Dragon Cub and imprisoned it here.

Leo suddenly thought that the scarlet stone can be said to be a secret treasure of the abyss. It will basically not appear in other worlds. Even if it does appear, it will not stay for a long time. After all, the scarlet stone contains the essence of the abyss. Entering other worlds will inevitably trigger the laws of the world.

Backlash.

Therefore, when the Belmont family was able to take out the scarlet stone as bait, there was only one possibility. They asked: "Was the person who cooperated with you to capture the abyss dragon a high-ranking person from the abyss?"

The old Duke did not answer, but nodded slightly.

"What price did you pay?" Sylvia frowned and asked.

Behaviors such as doing good deeds and helping others are absolutely impossible for any abyssal race. Even people like the Belmont family, who have the blood of a superior race in the abyss, cannot have this behavior. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that at that time

If the Belmont family had not paid a huge price, it would have been impossible to obtain the help of the abyss superior, nor would it have been possible to obtain the scarlet stone from the other party as bait.

"A small price." The old Duke also did not answer directly, but simply responded.

However, no matter how stupid you are, you can tell that the old Duke's response was not sincere. There is no doubt that the Belmont family paid a huge price back then, but they just don't know whether the price was a one-time one or a continuing one.

If it's a one-time thing, that's fine. It will only feel painful and difficult for a period of time. But if it's ongoing, is the Belmont family still paying off its debts now?

Leo and Sylvia both thought about this matter, looked at each other, and secretly exchanged views, but they did not continue to ask, because this matter may have involved the core interests of the Belmont family, even if

Sylvia is also a Belmont family, but this distant relationship is not enough for the Belmont family here to let go of all family secrets.

The people in the car stopped talking, and Leo and Sylvia also focused on the lava lake in the crater.

Although under normal circumstances, it is impossible for any life to exist in a lava lake, this lava lake is different now. I don’t know whether this lava lake is extremely special or because of the influence of the abyss dragon cub. In short, here

Lava lakes also breed some very special life forms.

For example, there is a kind of lava bug that resembles an earthworm. This lava bug has an obsidian shell growing on its surface. This shell seems to have the effect of insulating heat and helps the lava bug drill through the lava.

In addition, some fiery red flowers grew on the cracked shell condensed on the surface of the lava. These flowers looked like plants. In fact, when Leo's mental network scanned them, they found that these flowers were more like animals disguised as animals.

plant,

In addition to the creatures bred by the lava lake, there are also some members of the Belmont family who wear special insulating suits and step on the solidified black shells on the surface of the lava lake to capture and pick those lava creatures. Sometimes they drill to catch them.

They also need to jump into the unsolidified lava to catch the lava bugs that have entered the lava. Judging from their skillful techniques, it is obvious that they have done this many times, and this kind of work will help them improve the purity of their own blood.

It also seems to have great benefits.

Although the road was narrow, the carriage was not slow at all, and soon the group arrived at the Belmont Family Castle in the lava lake.

At this time, Leo and Sylvia also saw the skeletons of some abyssal dragons on the gates of the castle and other important buildings, including several abyssal dragon skulls.

Judging from the residual power and aura, these abyss dragons that have really turned into skeletons should have been young dragons when they were alive.

Just like what you feel on the lava lake road, the temperature inside the Belmont Family Castle is also very cool. After entering the castle, you don't feel that you are on a lava lake. In the gardens of the castle, there are even some plants that require temperature.

The extremely harsh plants make people feel that they are somewhat inconsistent with the surrounding environment no matter how you look at them.

When the carriage stopped at the main entrance square of the castle, the castle steward, head maid and other servants were already waiting there. They had already known that the old Duke was going out to greet guests, but they did not know who the guests were.

It wasn't until they saw Sylvia getting off the carriage that they felt a little surprised.

As servants of the castle, even if their surname is not Belmont, they have a very close relationship with the Belmont family. They also have the blood of the Belmont family. Some of them even have more pure blood than members of the direct family.

They must be pure, and their positions are lifelong, so they know the Belmont family very well, especially those family members they take care of.

Theresa's royal family will live in Belmont Castle for a period of time before reaching adulthood. This period may be a few years or more than ten years, and the daily life of the royal family is also taken care of by these castle servants.

There were even a few old maids among the people who had been Queen Theresa's personal servants, so when Sylvia appeared, everyone mistook Sylvia for Queen Theresa.

Among the crowd, the maids responsible for taking care of Queen Teresa came forward as usual, ready to stand beside Sylvia and wait for her instructions. However, after taking two steps, they all stopped in unison.

And looked at Sylvia with some confusion.

As Queen Theresa's personal maids at Belmont Castle, they have followed Queen Theresa and been responsible for the Queen's daily life for decades. It can even be said that they have been by Queen Theresa's side when she was a toddler.

Take care of her, so in terms of understanding Queen Theresa, they know Queen Theresa better than anyone in the Belmont family, even Queen Theresa's parents, relatives and friends.

Although at first, Sylvia's almost identical appearance was extremely deceptive and deceived these personal maids, but after taking a few steps closer, these personal maids immediately felt something was wrong, because the appearance was the same.

, could not cover up the huge difference in temperament between the two. These maids immediately realized that the person in front of them was not Queen Theresa.

The old Duke saw the reaction of these Queen Teresa's personal maids in his eyes, and nodded approvingly. Then before the maid asked questions, he took the initiative to introduce: "These two are Mr. Leo Dodd and Xi

Ms. Sylvia Belmont is a very important guest, and these two will be treated exactly as I would during the rest of their stay in the castle..."

After very carefully telling all the servants the importance of Leo and Sylvia's status, the old Duke waved to the maids who specialized in taking care of Queen Theresa and introduced them to Sylvia and Leo.

It means that these maids will be responsible for their daily life while the two are in the castle, and then he orders the maids to lead them to the flower garden that has been prepared for them.

Leo and Sylvia were not in a hurry to see the books in the castle, nor were they in a hurry to go to the abyss dragon cub. Instead, they followed the old Duke's suggestion and went to the arranged residence to rest first.

Among other things, the other two people also received badges representing their identities from the old Duke. With this badge, they could go to most places in the castle, including some forbidden areas.

On the way to lead the two people to the Flower Garden, the maids introduced the situation of the castle to the two people as usual. However, while introducing them, they still looked at Sylvia secretly, and their eyes were full of curiosity. After all, Sylvia

Ya and Queen Theresa are so similar that if they hadn't determined who Queen Theresa's parents were, they might have mistakenly thought that Queen Theresa was Sylvia's daughter.

Sylvia didn't care about the maids' secretly observing behavior. While listening to the maids' introduction to the castle, she asked some questions about the Belmont family in a timely manner. However, these maids were very alert and did not reveal anything.

useful information.

On the contrary, Leo, who had been silent, discovered some secrets of Belmont Castle. He discovered that the interior of Belmont Castle was actually composed of some subspace plane fragments, and these fragments had been integrated into the world and became part of the world.
