The three chiefs began to discuss how many people each village would send to research the Dragon Dial.When Adrian came out, Thalia was waiting for him. The thousands of people from the other three villages who were outside were also watching him, but he ignored them."How did it go? What did they decide?” Thalia asked.The dark dragon did not have much time left. Even if it did not use its power, it only had six days left before its soul would be stripped from Thalia's body. If it used its power, it would speed up the process even more. Right now, its only hope was to follow Adrian and find an opportunity to slip away from this place. Then, it could figure things out once they returned to the outside world.Thalia had never entertained the idea of negotiating with the three chiefs. This was because it had been living beside them for over two hundred years, and it knew those three old men very well. The current situation was under their control. The dragon had no bargaining chips,
"Are you the indigenous people of this place?" Adrian asked Thalia, who was pretending to be dead with its eyes closed and tongue out.Thalia became alert upon hearing this question. "Why are you asking this?" it asked. "What is this place?" Adrian asked back.Thalia hesitated for a moment. However, since it could only rely on Adrian, it muttered, "This is the Dragon Realm.""The Dragon Realm?""You can think of the world you were in before as a big bubble, and the Dragon Realm is like a smaller bubble attached to the big one," Thalia explained."Was it created by the true dragons?" Adrian asked curiously."That's right, but that's ancient history. I can't remember things from so long ago!" Thalia replied nervously.Adrian shook his head. "I think you do. True dragons have long lifespans. and their memories are exceptional. Your kind wouldn't forget even the most ancient event. Besides, you're probably not an ancient true dragon, right? You should have a lifespan of a few hund
“So you're just occupying someone else's territory? Then what about the crimson dragon?""How do you know about her?!" Thalia shouted. However, it realized that it had revealed too much, so it closed its mouth.Adrian smiled and said, "I have a way to prematurely remove your dragon soul.""Impossible! This Great Net can only control me slowly!" Thalia exclaimed in disbelief.Adrian replied, "Have you forgotten how I defeated you last time? This time, with the constraints of the Great Net, you won't even have a chance to resist. With one stroke of my sword, I can separate you from Thalia's body."Thalia trembled with fear. Upon careful consideration, it found that this might indeed be possible."That's right. This place is the world created by the crimson dragon’s ancestors. I'm just a homeless dragon who doesn't have any background and took advantage of her youth to occupy her territory. But I did it to survive! What else was I supposed to do?!" Thalia confessed, laying bare her
"Other than the ancient true dragons that survived tens of thousands of years ago, other true dragons can roughly be classified into three types," Thalia explained proudly, "Among them, the bloodline of the Primordial Dragons is the purest. When they grow to a certain extent, even the ancient dragons that have survived until now might not be their opponents.""And you...""If I had the bloodline of the Primordial Dragon, would I need to seize someone else's territory? According to your world's standards, dragons with such bloodlines are the top-tier wealthy ones. Both in terms of bloodline and assets, they are beyond what an orphan like me can compare to.""Then why are you so smug?" Adrian scoffed."Hehe! Even though my ancestors had some trouble and the world they resided in collapsed, I'm from the lineage of the Starflame Dragons. That makes me far superior to ordinary dragons.""Starflame Dragons?" "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. The ones sitting at the last ran
Thalia shook its head. However, Adrian did not know if it did not want to share the details with him or if it just did not know."What about the crimson dragon inside? What's her rank?" Adrian asked, though he already had an idea. After all, even Thalia was scared to face her."She's one of the Primordial Dragons, of course. She controls numerous loyal dragon descendants, and she owns this realm. She even has many treasures that I don't know about...""You mean there are treasures besides the secret realm?" Adrian's eyes lit up. Although there were many treasures in the secret realm, most did not catch his interest."Stop thinking about it. Those things aren’t items you can easily come by. Even though I've become stronger, I don't dare to touch them.”"You should be around the same level as a war legate above level eight, right?""War legate? What kind of term is that? All I can tell you is that I'm stronger than any fighter at level eight. If it weren't for those people from the
“So, you've already led them here?" Adrian sneered and shook his head. "Not yet. They don't dare to push me too far. You know that I don't have a good temper."Sion fell into silence.Suddenly, Thalia shouted, "She’s undergoing metamorphosis!”"What does that mean?" Adrian asked. "To fully awaken the bloodline of the Primordial Dragon, the young dragon needs to undergo a trial. It's their coming-of-age ceremony. Only after passing this trial can they be considered a true Primordial Dragon," Thalia explained. "How long does it take?" Adrian asked. "It could take a few months, or even several years. There's even a chance of failure and turning into an impure hybrid dragon. This is something that Primordial Dragons must go through," Thalia explained with a mix of envy and glee in her tone, "I didn't expect her to enter the metamorphosis phase. Haha! Now I don't have to be scared of her anymore!""A few months?" Adrian looked at Sion, seeking confirmation.Sion nodded and said
Now that Thalia wasn't here anymore, Adrian couldn't hear whatever Lyra said. As for Sion and Jess, there was nothing much they could do. They could only wait on the side with a sad expression."Are you waiting here for Lyra to complete her transformation?" Adrian asked them."Yes. We intended to take the Dragon Dial with you and use your strength to conceal the matter, then find a place to hide until Lyra completes her transformation. Then, we’d leave together." Sion smiled bitterly. "But they had set their sights on that thing, so I didn't want to leave this place. I'll stay here with Lyra after they leave."Adrian shook his head, thinking that the idea was quite good. Unfortunately, their abilities were limited, and they couldn't achieve what they wanted in the end."Where are you going?" Jess nervously asked when she saw Adrian turning to leave."To buy time,” Adrian responded coldly.On the way back, Adrian kept thinking about how to explain Thalia's disappearance, but he co
Fynn swung his fist, and his Vital Energy surged out of it. There was even a faint sound of thunder and lightning. His punch was not to be underestimated.Among these three people, Adrian had some understanding of Fynn’s strength. This old man was probably the weakest and also the most annoying among them, so Adrian decided to deal with him first.Facing the surging fist force, Adrian indifferently raised his hand. Silverboa’s military technique was most effective against such vigorous boxing methods. He made a pushing and pulling motion with both hands, effortlessly countering Fynn’s strike. The terrifying fist force was resolved by Adrian, but Fynn still wanted to charge forward. However, the other two blocked him.Alistair whispered to Fynn, "Stop it. He wants to kill you!""What did you say?" Fynn glared."Don't you understand yet? He wants to kill you first, disrupt the balance among the three villages, and start another conflict.""Then let's attack him together! Let’s kill
