Chapter 170: Departure
Xiao Lin was overwhelmed with emotion when he saw Song Junlang again after half a month. Although the reason Xiao Lin told Lilith to look for Song Junlang was because he trusted the man, he was still worried what Song Junlang would end up doing.
Nothing much came out of the conclusion of the incident. After Harry realized that he had lost his standing, he knew that getting entangled in the situation would only put him at a more disadvantaged position. As a result, he happily chose to let Xiao Lin go.
On the way back to New Washington, Xiao Lin listened quietly to Song Junlang’s brief explanation on the negotiation process. He could not resist asking, “Then what did you use to poison their dragon-eagles?”
Song Junlang laughed and said, “The Americans are too confident. It’s true that the dragon-eagles inherit the unique characteristics of the dragon clan’s high immunity, especially when it comes to strong resistance to toxins and other injuries. But they ignored an important factor!”
“What is that?”
“I once told you that the biological physiques of Planet Norma are high, and ordinary people from Earth would be attacked by various diseases there. The reverse however, is also true. Some viruses from Earth are powerful in this world, lethal to the creatures even!”
Xiao Lin’s eyes widened. He suddenly remembered that the department head in front of him was an expert at crossing creatures from Earth and that of Planet Norma!

“Why did you think I should accompany you to New Washington?” Song Junlang grinned. “Even if you are my experimental test subject, ahem, I mean even if you are my friend, I can’t possibly go to such lengths. My purpose is the dragon-eagle.”
Xiao Lin was quite speechless and was slightly surprised. “Could this toxin, oh I mean, this virus, was a subject of your research from very early on?”
“Yes, this virus is actually similar to the bird flu on Earth, but my original purpose was to deal with the dragon clan.” At that point, Song Junlang sighed slightly. “The dragon clan is more powerful than I imagined. In fact, it’s a headache for all academies to deal with them. Of course, our masters can more or less face them, but the problem is that the dragons are erratic. It’s difficult to be on guard always, so I wanted to find a better solution to face the dragons.”
“Then did you manage to research it?” Xiao Lin was sweating profusely. He slowly began to feel that Song Junglang was a terrifying man.
Song Junlang nodded, but then shook his head. “I failed. This virus is still very flawed and has no effect on the perfect dragon gene, but it has a very good effect on creatures with sub-dragon bloodlines. I came to New Washington with the intention of getting a dragon-eagle back for testing. They’re the most suitable experimental material, but unfortunately, America controls them too much. I wouldn’t be able to do it unless I personally came over.”
Xiao Lin also laughed. “It’s no wonder that Harry was persuaded so quickly. I thought I was going to stay in New Washington for a lifetime. At least I had a chance to walk around the city for these two days. I didn’t even have a chance to do that after being here for so long.”
Song Junlang’s face turned a little serious. “Can’t do. We’ll take the spatial carriage back to Earth this evening, and then immediately return to Dawn Academy. The special investigative team has already set off this very moment.”
Xiao Lin frowned unexpectedly. He did not even have the chance to use the New Dollars that Professor Brown paid him and he was actually curious to see what he could buy in the city.
“Are you afraid that Harry will take me?”

Song Junlang smiled bitterly, “Of course not. A person that has been released cannot be arrested again. I know Harry, and I’m worried he’ll want to arrest me this time instead of you! ”
“What?”
“I originally studied this virus to deal with the dragons. You and I both believed my words, but the Americans don’t. What would you think?”
Xiao Lin immediately understood. He kept silent for a while and sighed, “If it were me, I would’ve thought that you planned it, because this kind of research can’t be completed at a moment’s notice.”
“Yes, the Americans will definitely learn that Dawn Academy has long been thinking about going against their dragon-eagle knights. With their arrogance, they’ll definitely find ways to retaliate. That’s for the future.” The smile on Song Junlang’s face became even fainter, as if he had remembered something.
“The Americans will start a civil war?”
“They won’t. As long as there’s the Supreme Council, there is no possibility of a civil war. What’s more, there are local indigenous people who are eyeing them. The civil war will only allow the Normans to take advantage of them. This grudge is very clear cut.”

After a moment, Song Junlang’s tone became low. “The Americans may impose sanctions on us in business and trade.”
“It’s just commercial sanctions.” Xiao Lin, who was initially a little nervous, immediately relaxed. Everyone had their own colony, and he felt that such sanctions would not have any effect.
However, Song Junlang’s expression was unusually solemn, making Xiao Lin feel that something was amiss. He posed yet another question.
Song Junlang hesitated and finally said, “For us colonists, there are two things that are of utmost importance. The resurrection tower and Lifewater. The former ensures that we can continue to resurrect and open up colonies, and the latter ensures that we have a source of constant lifespan but these two things don’t appear out of thin air. The resurrection tower has to be built, and the Lifewater needs to be refined by alchemists.”
Xiao Lin’s tone changed slightly. “Can’t we build or refine these two things ourselves?”
Department Head Song said in a heavy tone “Yes, but there aren’t any materials! The resurrection tower and the Lifewater require huge and complex materials. We can exchange most of the materials or collect them by ourselves., but some key materials are produced too far from our colony.”
“Materials like Lightstream Jade are only available in the colony near Dawn Academy?”
“Yes, and unfortunately, Lifewater needs a special kind of leaf to be refined. It’s only available in the American colony, near elven territory. The reason America was able to progress quickly despite entering the New World much later was due to the stable environment, but another important factor is that leaf of life. Other academies had to exchange large quantities of materials with them or buy them at high prices. After this incident, it’s hard for Dawn Academy to withstand it, even if the Americans only reduce the export volume or raise the prices instead of cutting the supply all at once!”

Xiao Lin was completely silent; the joy of leaving was instantly wiped out. The importance of Lifewater was irreplaceable and its value could be seen from the limited amount of Lifewater sold by the academy every month.
