Irventret Empire, Ice City, 3rd floor of the Glint Hotel.

The steam that filled the bathroom gradually enveloped Wright's body, and the pleasant feeling of gradually climbing on his body made him intoxicated for a moment.

After about twenty or thirty minutes, he finally felt that the water vapor gradually became weaker, and the pool of boiling water, which had been hot, began to cool down.

"I finally felt clear, and it was right that taking a bath could broaden my spiritual horizons. It felt like my consciousness was covered with gauze, and I didn't even remember how I got here. Wright teased to himself, his right hand struggling against the edge of the tub, flipping outwards and landing easily on the smooth ground.

Although not as big as the muscular generals, and as tall and mighty as Rex II, Wright was quite satisfied with his body and physical fitness.

After wringing out the wet green towel, Wright carefully wiped every corner of her body.

After a few minutes or so, when Wright's body was pleasantly wiped by the wipe, he chose to wipe the vapor-filled rectangular mirror in front of him and posed a few times.

"Perfect, I've always loved my body. What gods, what Lord of the Night, as long as the demonic power is exhausted, with the fighting skills I have trained in the army, I will not be afraid of you. Even when the most mysterious thing is revealed in the end, I have the ability to get it and decipher it as much as I can. Wright clenched his fists and said firmly.

Then, with the final churn of steam, the sound of a rapid whirlpool of water and the sound of a heavy wooden door closing, Wright returned to the living room with a bath towel.

"Done?" Philo asked, squinting at Wright's body.

"There's not much time to rest, right?" Wright guessed.

"Yes. Mr. Kyle's men have just snuck some news to me. Anyway, there is more bad news for us, and less good news. But it's not the same for you. Although it was Mr. Kyle's intention to ask you to return to the army, nominally, at least when you reported to His Majesty, you were also recommended by the Southern Theater to return to the capital. Philo said with a look of jealousy.

"Let's start with the two of us, and the ones that have had an impact on my exploration of mysterious creatures. Wright said, sitting down on the red leather couch, looking extremely relaxed.

"Mysterious creatures?" Philo didn't react for a moment, looking a little confused.

"It's the thing about Lake Jobbel. Isn't it that we will be transferred to the other side of Lake Ribel as soon as we return? I heard that three of the Empire's new warships have already begun to be launched for testing, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the Empire can truly establish a modern naval force. Wright said proudly.

As a native of Avantley, his love and loyalty to his country surpassed that of most people.

So much so that when he heard the good news about the country, he couldn't help but admire.

"Oh yes, I forgot. Philo patted his head and said:

"This should be half a month later, around Christmas. This time, Rex II's birthday was postponed due to the fighting, and I heard that it was scheduled around Christmas. The Emperor meant this time that he wanted to celebrate with his subjects. After all, a person's birthday cannot be compared to the celebration of the whole country. But more than that, it shows that his control over the country is still relatively perfect. At the very least, it is necessary to express to the outside that Princess Relita, the first heir to the throne, should be almost educated. After all, such a thing as stealing a clear should really not appear in the royal family. ”

"What?," Wright asked, looking stunned.

The princess, who usually looks very dignified and steady on the outside, and even has a slight image of the Virgin, would do such a ridiculous thing.

"And it's said that the person who stole it was Mr. Kyle. Philo said in a deliberately low voice.

"This," Wright said even more speechlessly, and it took several seconds for a few characters to pop out of his mouth:

"Things just got weird. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the clear arrangement for the next step. After all, the freedom of choice for lovers should belong to everyone. Born free, no one can arbitrarily interfere with another person's legitimate and free choice. Wouldn't that be a demon?" said Philo, smiling helplessly.

"That's right. Wright agreed, "Then let's talk about the follow-up." ”

"There is a semi-public council at about three or four o'clock this afternoon, and all citizens who have the qualifications of city councillors can participate. The two of us, as special representatives of the army, can also sit in the last row. By the way, Mr. Kane's people also sent two documents just now, one for you and one for me, just fill in your name. Philo said, picking up two small blueprints the size of a palm from the long wooden table, and handing one to Wright.

"Evantley, member of parliament. Wright read the golden text on it.

"Yes, that's the first thing. And the second thing, I heard that the Cruster Empire has been making some small moves on the capital after the armistice. We expect a new offensive in the spring of the following year. When the time comes, we will have to go and prepare for the defense in advance. Moreover, Mr. Kyle is ready to use some mysterious weapons to reverse the current gap between strength and weakness. Philo said.

"Turning the Gap Around?' mysterious weapon?" Wright came to his senses as soon as he heard it.

"I heard that it is an ancient and mysterious creature. The ones found in the ruins to the north are supposed to be the same as those birdmen, but according to various analyses, they are much more powerful than them. ”

"I'm a little interested in that. Wright said with interest.

"What kind of creatures are they, and will Mr. Kyle reveal any details to you?" Wright continued.

"I heard that his magic source power has reached the top level of the empire, and even those old demon source masters who have studied all their lives can't compare. And although his physical fitness is not very strong, the wings that grow after using the magic source power of his whole body are indeed extremely powerful. He's different from those birdmen. It is true that a significant number of birdmen have been released after the catastrophe that struck south thirty years ago, but he is more like a purebred dragon. Because Mr. Kyle also sensed another power in him. Philo said with a deliberately mysterious look.

"What power?" Wright seemed to be brought into the atmosphere as well.

"The power of eternal life. Mr. Kyle had been in contact with him, so he was able to wake up after more than a hundred years of slumber, and formed the Frost Party, taking control of half of Avantley's politics. But the young man's breath of life seemed even stronger, and there was a part of his power that didn't seem to belong to this world. Mr. Kyle also said that if the boy could truly awaken his powers in the future, he would be the son of the dragon mentioned in ancient legends and ancient books from the South. After Philo finished speaking, he laughed a few times.

Apparently he doesn't believe in anything too mysterious.

But the words "son of the dragon" seem to touch Wright's most sensitive nerves.

It's like being suddenly pierced in the heart by a mysterious tentacle in the endless depths of the ocean.

"That...... Dreams, no, two. Wright muttered.

The dream scene that should have been vaguely remembered gradually became clear in front of Wright.

The dreams that the Chooser had brought him mystical powers, the dreams that had brought him to meet the Lord of the Night in Elixir No. 1, and the dreams he had entered on the train and after defeating Klinyin had all flashed before his eyes.

Although he is also a creative person, it can be seen from his study of the magic source power, but he can't help but remember it deeply after taking turns to have such dreams during a dense period of time.

In a few seconds of trance, a giant beast appeared in front of him, and the top could not be seen at a glance.

Sporadic flames began to appear around him, as well as sparks flying in all directions.

The slight tremor of the ground and the less obvious gasp of a large creature made him feel a sense of restlessness and uneasiness from within.

He involuntarily looked up, and in the crimson mist, it seemed that the silhouettes of dragons and behemoths that had been deeply imprinted in his heart twenty years ago had appeared,

Even, he heard howls and roars from far and near.

"Wright?"

After Philo's voice came, all the psychedelia in front of Wright vanished as reality poured in.

At the same time, he felt a cold sensation in his body, and a faint bead of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" asked Wright.

"I don't think you have a good rest? You can wait until you're resting, or what if you accidentally hurt yourself with a weapon? At least, well, it shouldn't happen, right? Philo kindly reminded.

"I should be okay, it's okay. The affairs of the parliament are important. After all, it's been a few months since I left the capital, and now that I'm coming back, I'm sure I'll have some idea of what the empire is like. Otherwise it's like being blind and deaf. Besides, after going to the parliament, I should go to the military department to report, and there will be my old acquaintances there. After all, I'm still a private in the Empire, and it wouldn't be nice to let them see the jokes. Now it's a little bit, right, I should be fine with a little rest at this moment. Wright said, yawning, and dragged his towel back to the white cot in his room.

Within a minute, a thick snoring sound reached Philo's ears through the cracks in the wooden door, along the narrow living room.

Knock, knock, knock, knock......

With sixteen crisp bells at the top of the First Church of Avantley, the Imperial Diet convened punctually on the first floor of the Houses of Parliament.

Naturally, in addition to the administrator Kyle, the Imperial Prime Minister Yot, and Rex II, who sat at the top of the Tang Dynasty, there were also a number of well-dressed councillors from all walks of life representing various interest groups.

Of course, it also includes two people like Wright and Philo who participated in the military as observers.

Although, they were in the corner seats, and they looked so inconspicuous in this hall with a wide blue background.
