"Your Majesty, let me ask first, do you yearn for darkness or light in your heart?" asked Long Zhi, staring into the eyes of the little emperor.

"Light. The little emperor closed his eyes and said lightly.

"I'm afraid Your Majesty doesn't think so in your heart, right?" Long Zhi smiled, still staring at the little emperor's eyes.

Hearing this, the little emperor closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and calmed down a little before finally answering slowly: "If you ask this question to other people in this continent, they will all answer the light first, because this can only be the only correct answer. Human beings can only be recognized by themselves when they are recognized by the group. No matter how much these people worship darkness in their hearts, they can only answer the light. ”

"But you still haven't answered me, do you yearn for darkness or light?"

My answer is still bright. ”

This time, the little emperor opened his eyes and stared at Long Zhi deadly.

In this silver starry sky, the last behind the scenes of humans and dragons looked at each other like this, to see if the other party was lying.

This wonderful and harmonious scene unfolded in the minds of the two like a fairy tale.

After some time, Long Zhi smiled and looked away, and took two steps forward.

"You actually have a desire for darkness in your heart, right, the power of light is power, the power of darkness is also power, no matter what kind of power you can get the full support of, you can also dominate the world and become the only king in the world, oh no, the only emperor, right. Long Zhi said in a low voice, with a solemn expression in his mockery, which seemed incompatible with his youthful appearance.

"Yes, I yearn for light, but I also yearn for darkness, no matter whose power I can use, why not use it?"

"So the darkness will take advantage of the void!" said Long Zhi suddenly.

"Is that so?" asked the little emperor, his face darkening.

"Your Majesty, have you heard a sentence from the Secret Book?"

"Which one?"

"When darkness spreads, the Creator will send light to save the frozen souls, and when the light spreads, the Creator will send down darkness to save the burned souls. ”

"I've really heard this sentence, but what does it have to do with Long Qing and Dark?" the little emperor asked.

"If you activate the dragons, the power of darkness will also be born, so it is inevitable that darkness will be our enemy. It's just that now Longqing hasn't started yet, and the darkness can only lurk, and no matter how His Majesty looks for it, it won't appear. By the way, the dragons that appeared some time ago in your empire have a dark aura on them. Long Zhi replied.

"Are you talking about Ye Mingyuan? Didn't he agree to cooperate?"

He agreed that cooperation does not mean that there is no dark aura in the body, and perhaps this aura has already spread in the empire. Long Zhi warned.

"But even so, I can't cancel Long Qing, or you and the empire won't have a future, right?" the little emperor smiled.

"Yes, many times for the sake of the purpose, it is obviously a dangerous road, and we can only move forward. Even if there is only a faint light ahead. Long Zhi smiled bitterly, and the appearance of those dragons in the Dragon Realm flashed in his mind.

I don't know when I woke up in the dragon realm, and I don't know when and for what purpose I wandered and called in the dragon realm one after another, the dragon is like the soul of the dragon collective, and he never cares about himself, but only cares about the reappearance of the entire dragon clan.

Perhaps in his eyes, the dragon war five hundred years ago was just an accident in which the dragon clan went astray, and the dragon clan's sin must not be like this.

"Your Majesty, do you have similarities with Ye Mingyuan?" Thinking about it, Long Zhi blurted out.

However, the little emperor did not answer him immediately, but after thinking for a while, he looked at Long Zhi's face and said slowly: "You are all dragons, naturally the same, but you also told me that Ye Mingyuan does not belong to this world, he belongs to his original world, but because of the memory, he did make him forget and return for a while, and he was lost in our world." Do you have any missing memories?"

"Perhaps, I'll end up like him. Long Zhi said, leaving a teardrop from the corner of his eye.

Due to the dim environment of the starry sky, this small detail was not captured by the little emperor, and at this time, he was obviously more concerned about himself and the empire's Long Qing.

"It doesn't matter if it's the same or not, what really matters is the success of Longqing, as long as Longqing goes smoothly, you and the dragon clan will no longer be sad and no longer painful. The dragon ruins here, as well as the dragon altar in the Imperial Tomb, are the teleportation points I have set up for your dragons, and after Long Qing successfully opens the dragon gate and puts the two stones back in place, the dragon realm and reality are no longer connected by souls and dreams, but are a kind of entity. All of you dragons can serve the Empire. Of course, even if you are not willing to finally submit to my hands, then when the world belongs to the Flame Empire, you can choose your own fiefdom and establish your own kingdom like the Westerners. These are the last promises I have made to you. ”

"That's enough. After being imprisoned for 500 years, we dragons no longer demand absolute dominance over the world. If five hundred years ago, we also had an overwhelming advantage over you, your swords and your guns could not pierce our skin, and even the most magical magic of your demon source masters would not be able to harm us in the slightest. However, since you entered the Age of Steam, our hard skin has only been blown to the ground by cannonballs, and our proud wings are no match for the empty armies you and the Empire have built. Perhaps, after more dragons reappear, we should choose to communicate and live with you in the form of human beings, just like this, those absolute powers, only the needs of the empire will be displayed. The dragon said, taking a few steps back.

Without waiting for the little emperor to answer, a whirlpool of flames was triggered, and the figure dissipated in place.

"Is it true that these forces can only sustain us for a short time?" the little emperor smiled bitterly and took out the Yan Ding Stone again, wanting to reopen the center of the dragon ruins that was closed by the magic source power.

"If the dragons have this awareness, how can they worry about not being able to regain hegemony with the Empire?" the little emperor shouted confidently, throwing the Yanding Stone into the air, and at the same time unleashing all the purple demonic power in the scepter into the air.

However, as if the flame had been extinguished, the Yanding Stone only shone a few times after being thrown up, and then fell back into the hands of the little emperor, and his scepter did not emit purple light as expected.

The surrounding area is still a starry sky in the dark night, and the outside world is still guarded by the army of Yan Ling and the sky.

Just as the little emperor was puzzled, a few dark afterimages floating in front of him attracted his attention, it stands to reason that such a demonic source power should not appear in the ruins belonging to the dragon clan.

"Is there a dark demon source master here who wants to rebel?" the little emperor asked as he looked around, and constantly mobilized the demon source power belonging to the dragon clan in his hand.

However, those black shadows still surrounded him as if they did not understand the imperial Chinese language of the little emperor, and did not make a sound.

"Is this the true power of darkness? Sure enough, where there is contact with light, darkness always occurs. But you can't wait to appear in front of me, you are too underestimating me. As he spoke, the little emperor struck all the demonic power gathered in his hand towards the surrounding shadows.

Suddenly, a ray of light mixed with red flames, accompanied by a little dragon breath, shot out in all directions with the little emperor as the center.

Those shadows were as weak and helpless as the little emperor had guessed, and as soon as they came into contact with the flames, they screamed like ghosts a few times, and then quickly dissipated their figures.

With the dissipation of the shadow, the Yan Ding Stone on the little emperor's chest, as if it had been released from its imprisonment, once again emitted an extremely strong temperature and light, and it flew straight into the air from the pocket of the little emperor's upper body.

The scepter in his hand also emitted a purple light that belonged to him at this time.

"The connection between the Dragon Realm and the Empire will be in six days, and that will be the most glorious moment for the Empire and the Continent. The little emperor prayed silently, and the starry sky around him was gradually penetrated into the noon sun.

The night receded, and the day came. Even the temperature is back to its hottest moment.

However, just as the starry sky was about to completely retreat, a voice quietly entered the ears of the little emperor, as if it was not coming from the outside world, but by some force in his heart.

"Darkness-of-king-will-not-will-release-abandonment-this-one-great-great-time-moment"

However, due to the roar of the airships from the outside world after the enchantment was lifted, coupled with the sound of the demonic power in the enchantment, the little emperor only heard the words "King of Darkness" clearly, and did not hear the following sentences.

But even these three words were enough to make him have doubts.

After all, there are some things that are not fully mastered, and that's the scariest part of success.

......

The Flame Empire, the imperial capital of Dijing Province, and the ruins of the Dragon Clan.

"Your Majesty, has something happened after such a long time?" Yan Ling asked eagerly on the side.

"Go back to the palace. Now I give you an order, starting today, those empty armies will be in charge of Wu Qi, all of them will be left to practice in the dragon ruins, waiting for Long Qing's final order. You follow me to the Imperial Library first, I still have some things to ask Karl, the Westerner Demon Source Master. I didn't want any accidents to happen in the first few days of Long Qing, when everything was complete. The little emperor said, and after Yan Ling respectfully agreed, he took the carriage from the palace and quickly left the dragon ruins with Yan Ling.

Naturally, for the current little emperor, there are still two points under Long Qing that need to be dealt with to ensure that there is no danger to Long Qing again.

The first is Ye Mingyuan, the dragon boy who promised to assist, this can be put aside for a while, and the second is the dark demon source master Karl who is related to the darkness, and the dragon realm stone was originally stolen from the empire's warehouse and handed over to the empire.

As long as Karl is truly committed to the Empire, the dark power will no longer be able to erode Long Qing and the Dragon Clan.

The little emperor thought, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he clenched the scepter in his hand a little tighter.
