It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 52: Curiosity
As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

In Xia Zhi's opinion, although the future of this fairy country is simply dark and full of disasters, just like New York in Hollywood, he is not without any advantages.

At least time is on their side, and according to Vivian, the strength of the Fairy Kingdom in the second round was already very high. Based on this information, this time they will definitely be able to raise the strength of the Fairy Kingdom to the limit.

He really didn't believe that those human guardians could turn the tables.

Could it be that when faced with a difficult level that was not meant for humans to play, the opponent could still rush forward shouting about friendship and bonds or something like that?

not to mention……

Xia Zhi thought about it carefully and felt that theoretically, if he had thousands of years of real Taoist practice, he should not be unable to control a small fairy country.

He had even been able to cultivate (eat) sixty years of skills in less than a week! Even if he didn't expect such sudden enlightenment to happen often, he couldn't expect to be able to maintain such high efficiency in cultivation all the time...

But no matter what, you shouldn't be able to complete even the main map, right?
——Are those disasters really so cruel? Are they really so difficult?

Or was it that in the original "second round", I didn't fully utilize the advantage of time?

Anyway, no matter what, the key to the problem is that one's own practice still needs to be improved, and one must always seize opportunities to improve oneself. Xia Zhi firmly believes in his heart: If he can really become an immortal one day, who in this world will dare to speak loudly to him?

After a brief discussion, the two men tentatively determined their future course of action.

Then, Xia Zhi stood up from the wing of the aircraft, stretched his arms and legs, and stretched his body vigorously.

There are many problems to face in the future, but that is still far away. As for the present, let's focus on the present -

Just do a good job at each stage.

………………

As the sky began to lighten slightly from the silent night——

The eastern skyline was also filled with a charming dim yellow glow——

The night in the Fairy Kingdom is gradually fading away, and the daytime is about to come. Vimana is hovering in the sky, and the vast lake below is gradually shedding the hazy veil of the night and beginning to become clear.

It was a huge lake area, surrounded by lush and vibrant forests. Many thick tree trunks were half immersed in the lake water, moist, rotten and covered with moss, like a swamp wetland painting hidden deep in the heart of the dense forest.

In this dreamlike and fantastic scene, what is particularly eye-catching is undoubtedly an extremely large skeleton lying deep in the center of the lake.

It lies there quietly, as if telling a forgotten history.

"Wait? This is... a dragon?"

Altria spoke with some surprise. She recognized the distinctive features of the huge corpse almost at a glance.

Although it had been dead for a very long time and there was no breath left, it was clearly the skeleton of a giant dragon. The size of the skeleton alone was enough to make people imagine how powerful it was when it was alive.

"Yes, these are the remains of the Dragon of Albion."

Vivian also looked down at the lake area from a high vantage point and spoke lightly, confirming what the Knight King said.

——The Dragon of Albion!
Upon hearing the news, Artoria was naturally shocked, but compared to that, there was obviously another thing that made her more concerned, and for a moment she didn't even care about the issue of the Dragon of Albion.

"Um... Wh-what did you just say?"

The swordsman girl subconsciously widened her eyes and looked at Morgan, wanting to say something but not saying it. She felt a little surprised that Morgan didn't mock her directly, but spoke normally and calmly...

Could this be... a change of character?

Or did I hear it wrong? I must have heard it wrong!

Vivian noticed that Altria was acting strange, and immediately cast a dissatisfied look at her, frowning and asking coldly: "What's wrong, Altria, you're not going to tell me that you don't understand or haven't heard of the name Albion?"

"If that's the case, then you are really unworthy of the title of King of Britain... Then why don't you be sensible and give it to me? So as not to tarnish this glorious title, what do you think?"

"..."

"..."

Here it comes, this familiar sarcasm.

"Hmph, stop daydreaming, or are you still asleep?" Altria took a deep breath, suppressed her displeasure, turned away and responded coldly. "Besides, who doesn't know Albion's name!"

This is indeed Morgan.

For a moment I doubted that the other person had changed his gender, but I was so naive.

"Albion... I seem to remember seeing this name. It seems to be the ancient name of the British Isles. Is it the oldest known name?"

It was a wise choice to ignore the bickering between the two sisters. Guessing that this would become a daily routine in the future, Xia Zhi focused his attention on the name calmly. It sounded a little familiar and he was sure that he knew the name too.

"This dead dragon is also called Albion? Does the name have anything to do with the British Isles?" "That's right. Even though the Age of Gods has ended, the dragon that still chose to stay on the British Isles is Albion."

Altria responded in a solemn tone, temporarily putting aside her emotions towards Morgan, "It is said that it is a dragon of unimaginable size, its majesty rivaling the size of a mountain, each claw is like a tower, and with a wave of its claws it can shake mountains and split the earth into deep valleys."

It sounds very consistent. Xia Zhi thought about it after listening to it. He didn't doubt it at all.

——After all, you can tell by just looking at the giant skeleton immersed in the dark lake, with only the tip of the iceberg and the huge shadow at the bottom of the lake showing.

——That is indeed not an exaggeration, but a realistic description. The dragon was indeed a giant of this size when it was alive.

"Perhaps they didn't choose to stay on the British Isles, but perhaps they misjudged the situation... Most of the dragons sensed the end of the Age of Gods, and moved to the inner side of the world before the illusion disappeared, but Albion did not take any action."

Medea was listening nearby, but she shook her head. She certainly had a good understanding of the "Crown Dragon" in the world of magic, so she had a different opinion.

She continued to explain in a calm and steady tone:
"Maybe Albion was confident in its own strength, or maybe there was some other reason, so it missed the opportunity... In any case, during its stay, the planet changed its own physical laws based on the life active on the surface at that time..."

"Inversely proportional to the expansion of the light of science, the mysterious darkness gradually declined, and the past era of great source overflowing and rich magic power also came to an end. Nature with personality became a simple phenomenon, and the ether in the atmosphere also dissipated like clouds and mist..."

"The changes in the world that began to rotate eventually made the giant dragon succumb. However, at that time, the passage to the inner world had been closed. It chose to drill into the ground from the earth, trying to reach the inner world by physical movement, but eventually died of exhaustion..."

Speaking of this, the witch lady also cast her eyes towards the silent bones in the lake——

"In my opinion, Albion did not actively choose to stay in Britain. It is more likely that they missed the opportunity and had no other choice... As for the situation of Albion in this world, I don't know."

You know, the end of the Age of Gods didn’t happen in an instant.

It went through a gradual fading process, and the era ended at different times in different geographic regions, with the continents ending first and places like peninsulas and islands ending later.

Britain is a very special island. The Age of the Gods did not completely end until the fifth century AD.

Under such circumstances, it was reasonable for Albion to retreat to Britain, and it was only natural that it would eventually meet the end of its life there.

"Albion in this world is in a similar situation. It did not retreat to the inner side of the world in time, but stayed on the surface. However, the surface of the planet has turned into a sea of nothingness, and it can only choose to fly endlessly..."

Vivian interrupted calmly, "Until the last bit of strength was exhausted, the remains fell here and turned into the northern land of Britain..."

Although they are different worlds, the course of history is also different.

However, the fate of the dragons of Albion is surprisingly similar. No matter where in human history, "dragons that fail to return to the stars" will always face a tragic end.

"So, what we are looking for is also related to this dead dragon?"

Xia Zhi felt it carefully and did not find any unusual magical aura in this area. But think about it, if there is something really unusual, it probably wouldn't wait for them to discover it.

"Of course it's related... It was the left hand dropped by Albion's corpse. It still retains its activity, a piece of flesh wriggling in the dark swamp."

Vivian thought for a moment and stated the characteristics of what she was looking for.

The "Dragon" Fairy, Melyucina——

It wasn't that noble and beautiful from the beginning. Before being fished out of the swamp by Aurora as a show, it was just an intellectless piece of meat squirming in the stinking mire.

"..."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other with extremely subtle expressions. After all, this sounded very strange. Why would they fish out some wriggling piece of meat in this dark swamp? Was this some kind of Cthulhu-style bizarre development?
"Wait, I have a question..."

Xia Zhi was the first to raise his hand. He felt as if something was wrong.

Seeing the Master step forward decisively, the two ladies nodded. It turned out that this man was very reliable at the critical moment.

"What's the problem?" Vivian looked at him.

"The corpse has been rotten to this extent, how can the left hand that fell off still be active?" Xia Zhi looked a little skeptical.

"It's not surprising that it behaves this way. Albion is a primitive super being, a life form that existed when the Earth was born. It has nearly 4.6 billion years of life intelligence. It can be said to be a true dragon, a pure-blooded dragon."

Vivian explained seriously, "Even the piece of flesh that fell from the corpse's left hand has extremely powerful power."

4.6 billion years...

What kind of monster is this...

"Okay, then I have no problem..." Xia Zhi curled the corners of his mouth. This world is really becoming more and more surprising.

"Hey, wait..."

Altria's expression suddenly changed slightly. It was obvious that there was still a big problem. She began to doubt the Master's mental state.
