Chapter 181: Dragon Worship and the Dragon Lich
Most of the inhabitants of the Northlands have probably never seen a real dragon in their short lives.
For them, this almost legendary creature seems to exist only in the story.
So it gives them the illusion that the dragon seems to be a rare epic creature.
But what most people may not know is that the reason why the dragons in the main material world are relatively scarce is that it is inseparable from the elves.
Yes, it's the same ancient 'curse' they developed to free themselves from the dragon's ruleβββ Dragonmaniac Lock.
It makes all dragons and even wurms and dragonborns reckless, wreckless on the land, slaughtering everything they see, even their offspring and dependents, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake, but it also gives the elves a chance to free themselves from the dragon's rule, marking the end of the dragon's rule.
As a legacy of this ancient curse, the dragons in the main material realm still occasionally go mad and wreak havoc in the realm.
As with some kinds of diseases, the so-called dragon mania is in a latent state, breaking out every few decades or even centuries, and events that seem to be related to the resurgence of Kingkill will affect dragons for dozens of days in a row.
Historically, the intensity, breadth, and duration of dragon mania depended on the astrological position of Kingkiller.
As a result, the effects of the dragon mania can sometimes be located, which leads to the so-called "dragon plague".
According to the statistics of mages, the plague of dragons occurs about once every 300 years or so, but the recorded interval ranges from 100 to 700 years.
For this reason, most of the dragons who had the ability to cross the plane had relocated to the outer planes of the upper and lower levels.
For example, the vast majority of metal dragons have defected to Heavenly Mountain, where their close plane comrades-in-arms, the Shining Dragon and the Tungsten Iron Dragon, are located, and some will even serve as staff members of the Divine Servants or in the legions of Heavenly Mountain, and many Mastiff-headed Yakong Divine Attendants will ride on the backs of adult dragons to join the battle.
The five-colored dragons, on the other hand, mostly moved towards the Bato Hell, where Tiamat had settled.
His realm in Aphonas (the entrance to hell) is filled with all the typical multicolored dragons and her countless oviparous drakes, half-dragons, drakes, and other minions.
At one time, the area was overcrowded with dragons, and the five-colored dragons often tore each other apart because of territorial disputes.
In fact, the entrance to Hell is likely to be the densest of all the outer planes of the dragons, thanks to Tiamat's incredible number of minions, even though their 'loyalty' is actually mixed with all sorts of unspeakable factors.
All of the dragons here are nominal servants of the dragons, but many of them will be caught up in the intrigues and politics of the Bazters, often trapped in bad deals or simply slaves to the demons.
Others retain a degree of autonomy and can choose to sell their services to the highest bidders.
In the conspiracy theories of some mages, this phenomenon is actually Tiamat's acquiescence or even a secret deal with some devil lords, and in this way he sells his hired labor to gain a large amount of treasure, soul gems, and magical creations.
Then let's use this to make the first round of 'devil investment' in those powerful five-colored dragons that she is optimistic about, and then look forward to the follow-up returns and see whether to invest or withdraw according to the actual situation.
From this point of view, Tiamat is somewhat of a minority of the entire Correll who is well versed in the principles of finance...
It was because he seemed to have an inexplicable hostility or covetousness towards Waukin, the new goddess of wealth.
It is precisely because of this historical reason that the density of the dragons in the main plane has been greatly reduced after the rise of the elves, and the northern land where the Silver Moon Alliance is located was still under the rule of the ancient elven empire Yeerlan more than two hundred years ago, and the dragons are relatively rare.
Only in the east of the Silvermoon Federation, where the desertification has buried the Neserel civilization, there are only a few blue dragons and bronze dragons that have been confirmed to exist.
Even the Silver Moon Dragon Queen and his wife seem to have only come here after the destruction of Yeerlan, and they rarely really show their traces in front of mortals, but live in a floating mountain range that they have called [Soft Wings] floating in the clouds.
And it will never be fixed in a certain position, but will flutter with the monsoon.
In addition to them, it seems that only in the southwest of Jishui City, there are rumors of several steel dragons represented by the 'Dragon of a Thousand Laws' Xia Lanviros, but no one has been able to confirm the authenticity of this news so far.
Therefore, if Levi really plans to build a nest in this place, it is very likely that he will become the first dragon in the Northland to build a city in the humanoid region as a dragon!
And Levi's self-destructive identity and the far-reaching meaning of his words shocked the elves of Ellene.
Is the strong-looking and somewhat abnormal Mr. Elven Mage in front of him actually a silver dragon?
Even the silver dragon Tyri was pleasantly surprised after hearing that Li Wei personally confirmed this decision, and even held Li Wei's hand a little excitedly and said:
"I think Vera will welcome you, too, ah, I can't wait to take you to meet her right now. β
Tyri's sudden outburst and even some excessive enthusiasm caught Levi a little off guard, and instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that the other party's strength was simply terrifying, like pincers that made him unable to move.
This once again caused Levi to wonder, why is one of Erastro's chief guards so strong?
He even suspected that if the other party hadn't forced him out of the silver dragon's body with one blow and immediately stopped, he might not have been able to withstand the other party's second blow...
This is a bit perverted...
And... She even called the Mother of the Silver Moon Dragon Mother Vera...
As if sensing Levi's strangeness, Tyri quickly withdrew her hand and said apologetically:
"Ahh I'm sorry, it's me who lost my temper, I'm a little out of control today, I'm sorry.
"However, if you want to build a nest, you may have to let the Silver Moon Dragon Mother decide for herself, there are too many aspects involved, let's go back to Silver Moon City first. β
Levi was a voice that he could hear, and he was a little puzzled: "Is there anything taboo in this?"
Tyri was silent for a while, and said, "It's not a taboo, it's just... I'm just worried about your safety. β
"Huh?" Levi was directly stunned, he had lived in Zelandia for more than ten years as a half-dragon man, could it be that the surface was more dangerous than the dark region?
"You... Will know later. β
Tyri, however, seemed to have been touched on something, and did not continue to solve the puzzle, jumping directly into the air, and then the whole person suddenly smashed on the frozen river like a meteor.
Boom!
The loud bang was accompanied by the shattering of the ice in the sky, and the entire hull of the ship also shook violently.
Then Levi and Calvin were dumbfounded to see a radiating spider web crack centered on the tiny figure, rapidly spreading to the end of the riverbank horizon.
The next moment, the Sebulin River, which had been frozen by Levi's dragon breath, burst with a dense sound of ice cubes rubbing, and then under the impetus of the river itself, the ice surface fell apart and resumed its flow, like the sea of ice floes floating north of the spine of the world.
Levi's sailboat was also free, but the sailboat that had lost its mast had to go with the flow.
But Tyri, who had just created this spectacular scene, soared into the sky again, standing a few hundred feet above the sailboat, and the intricate chanting of dragons rang out.
Like the appeal of the wind, and like the thought of the rain.
The next moment, the wind rises, the clouds move, and the rain falls.
The monsoon followed the will of the silver dragon around the hull of the ship and headed backwards towards the north of Silvermoon City.
Maybe ordinary mortals don't understand it, thinking that this is some kind of dragon magic that changes the seasonal weather.
But Levi, as a dragon, knew it wasn't magic.
For some reason, the silver dragon suddenly fell into sorrow.
The sky sounded with nothing more than her soft humming.
Can you remember me, if we meet again in heaven.
Are you the same as before, if you are reunited in heaven.
I tried to be strong, because I couldn't go for the time being.
May we hold hands again, if we meet again in heaven.
Can you give me the strength to meet again in heaven?
I will find my way at last, because I can't go for now.
And at this moment, the elven ranger named Ellene said to him:
"Maybe Lady Terry is worried about your safety, because the Northlands aren't friendly to dragons, I wonder if you've heard of Samast and the Dragons?"
Levi and Calvin looked at each other, then nodded, "I've heard a little." β
The Elven Ranger said with some nostalgia: "It is said that there was once a child under the crown of the Silver Moon Dragon and the crown of the Silver Wing, but he was killed by Samas, and his body was desecrated, turning him into a dragon lich...
"In the end, it was the Silver Moon Dragon Queen who purified it personally.
"Maybe Tyri remembered this sad thing. β
"I'm sorry. Hearing this, Levi fell silent, looked up at the petite figure, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Her slightly hoarse voice could still be faintly heard in the cold wind:
Time makes people sad, and time forces people to surrender.
Time grinds people and breaks their liver and intestines, making people beg for God,
Begging to God.
Your world is quiet and serene,
Categorically will not shed tears in heaven.
Can you remember me, if we meet again in heaven.
Are you the same as before, if you are reunited in heaven.
I try to be strong,
Because I can't go to...
Because I can't go to...
