To be honest, Ian himself felt that the progress seemed a bit fast.

——How long has it been since he just said he wanted to join the Dragon Worship Cult? Just start discussing in front of him the "important things" that are making the entire Nauman City uneasy?

"don’t worry."

Anfa noticed Ian's blank expression, he spoke and comforted: "It is not particularly important in itself, it just represents a message... And this message is very crucial to our members of the Dragon Worship Cult, and ordinary people simply cannot understand."

"You are from Nanling. This information is closely related to your hometown. You must know it."

With that said, the three of them took Ian to the altar halfway up the mountain.

It is said to be a sacrificial platform, but it is actually a small square halfway up the mountain in Avud. There are three stone pillars there. There are a large number of dragon-related totems and inscriptions engraved on the stone pillars. The surface is full of smooth paint left by mineral paint. The cover shimmered with brilliant phosphorescence under the moonlight.

The sacrificial platform is under a stone shed, with a marble dragon claw altar in the middle. After bowing slightly to the altar, the elf bachelor strode forward and took out a small pendant from his body.

This pendant is unremarkable. The chain itself is made of silver alloy, and the hanging ornament is some kind of strange blue-black mineral. It has a brilliance on the surface and is as black as an abyss on the inside. At first glance, it looks like some kind of heterochromatic agate, but If you observe carefully, it has a metallic luster.

"This is the 'important object' brought back by the Canaan Moore church members from the deep forests. Because they did not have the conditions to conduct experiments there, they specially arranged for Anfa and other church members to transport it to Nanling."

Elder Manya said softly: "But a traitor appeared in the church and exposed the information of another team of teammates. Therefore, the Candle Bearer pursued all the way, and even Master Oak was dispatched, so that Marquis Barton had to come forward to resolve this matter. The 'Dragon Cult' conspiracy."

"They believe that we have transported some key ancient dragon remains, a kind of 'natural disaster inducement' that can resonate with nature, and the ancient dragon material, whether its value itself or as an inducement of natural disasters, is enough for all major forces to take action stand up."

"But in fact……"

Ian stared at the pendant in Anfa's hand. He followed Elder Manya's words and said with some clarity: "Actually, this is just a piece of steel stone..."

His tone gradually became astonished, even to the final 'astonishment': "A brand new piece of steel stone that has just been catalyzed not long ago?!"

Upon hearing Ian's words, the other three people present all turned their heads and looked in the direction of the young man.

They looked stunned, obviously not expecting that Ian could actually see the identity of the object in their hands with just one look.

And... the real meaning!

Ian was not pretending to be surprised, he really understood why his precognitive vision did not see how precious this object was, and Linda's prophecy was also 'both precious and ordinary'.

All the reasons are because of this piece of steel stone.

The steel stone itself has no special value. At most, it is a special solid stone. It is good for making fortress walls, but if it has other functions, it really doesn't have any.

Such things are indeed ordinary.

But its preciousness lies in the fact that it is a derivative of the ancient dragon.

The Qinggang stone veins around Indigo Mountain appeared precisely because of the existence of the ancient dragon Qinggang Dragon!

Anfa is wearing a gold-steel pendant. Most people may mistake it for agate jewelry, but scholars who are proficient in mineralogy can tell that it is a rare gem-grade gold-steel stone - in general, it does not count. Something noteworthy.

Only the Dragon Worship Cult can understand what a new piece of steel stone represents...

"A new steel dragon appears in Canaan Moore?"

Ian looked at the other three people, and after noticing everyone's expressions, he suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder the church members of the Canaan Moore branch specially transported this Qiang steel stone, in order to let the people who are most familiar with Qiang steel Is the dragon identified by the Nanling mountain people?"

"It is related to the whereabouts of the reborn ancient dragon, so the local special forces of Canaan Moore are following closely, and Marquis Barton and the people from the Academy of Gnosis are also fighting for it in Nauman City!"

All the clues were connected, and Ian completely understood what was going on.

"Can he see that?"

Xiou tugged on Anfa's sleeves and said softly: "Don't you say that ordinary people can't see any clues about this thing? In fact, I can't see it either. Only mother can see it, right?"

“He is an appraiser—according to rumors and industry reviews, he is very strong.”

Anfa murmured to himself: "But I didn't expect to be so strong... How did you see the new Qiang Gangshi?"

In fact, Ian also did it through comparison.

The Dragon Claw Altar is carved from a single piece of steel stone. It is obviously a sacrificial object from the heyday of the mountain people hundreds of years ago. There is still an ancient power left in it, which should be the source material of the ancient steel dragon from back then. .

There is also a power in that piece of steel stone pendant. That power comes from the same source as the altar, but the mist patterns in the precognitive vision are slightly different. The flow of source material in the pendant is simpler and brighter, making it appear more active and youthful. Some.

It is difficult for people with weak perception to detect the difference in the flow of essence, while people with strong perception are not necessarily familiar with dragons.

The conditions for someone who is familiar with dragons and has strong senses to possess psychic abilities are really too harsh.

Of course, the most important thing is the silver chip. Directly confirm the marking.

"……indeed."

Elder Manya took a deep look at Ian, and he continued following Ian's words: "Yes, a brand new steel dragon has appeared in Canaan Moore... and he is probably our mountain dragon god. Heirs."

"More than that."

He stepped forward, took the steel stone pendant from Anfa's hand, and placed it in the altar.

Immediately, a silver-gray light overflowed from the steel altar, swirled and rose around the small pendant, and finally condensed into the image of a majestic dragon.

Staring at the image of the giant dragon, Elder Manya bowed deeply to it, then raised his head and said calmly: "Whether it is the Dragon God or other ancient dragons and true dragons, their existence will greatly change the surrounding environment. Climate and even ecology...but in recent hundreds of years around Canaan Moor, except for the Great White Disaster caused by the migration of the Ice Mongolian Dragon, there have been no other similar phenomena."

"So, where did the Dragon God's descendants grow and grow... and finally reach an energy level that can affect the surrounding environment and derive the steel stone?"

This question is obviously testing Ian.

Ian nodded slightly, turned his head and looked at Anfa.

"Maze." The young man said softly, "It's a giant maze."

"That young steel dragon grew up in the maze!"
