For a creature like a dragon with a near-infinite lifespan, it's hard to judge them as an old dragon, a young dragon, or a middle-aged dragon, although they did have their youthful moments.

But for Torragotos, who was lying in the middle of the palace, it was, at least from the outside, a dying old dragon.

Over the course of its long life, wrinkles crept up its cheeks, converging under the raised brow bones, or above the corners of its eyes and slightly curved mouth, like a gurgling stream that flowed deep into the sunken eye sockets.

In the black shadow there were golden eyes, as if they were about to be extinguished. The dragon's jaws grew like humans, long silver whiskers, and they swayed slightly with their thunderous breathing.

With one paw folded on the other, it lay motionless on top of a mountain of gold coins, almost asleep, occasionally raising its eyelids to glance at the people in the hall with a golden gaze.

Directly in front of it was an old dwarf, with a pair of frost-gray eyebrows and a glittering crown, and raised his eyebrows and said to it: "My old friend, I have heard that you are not in good condition, and I have come all the way from Eldron to see you one last time. ”

Torragotos recognized the dwarf as the youngest grandson of Watri's seventeenth youngest son, and the steel-eyebrows always seemed to like to have the youngest heir to the throne, as if it were their tradition.

It sighed heavily.

It has maintained a long friendship with the Steelbrows throughout its long life, and it has witnessed four generations of their kings, not as fickle as humans and not as cold as elves. The old dragon still clutched the mountain soot jewel that the dwarves had given him—the steel eyebrows dug it out from the depths of the mountains as a testimony to the unchanging friendship between the two.

Old Watri's round face and ridiculous big nose flickered before it, and then his arrogant eldest son, where did he die in battle? The characteristics of this family seem to have converged on the old dwarf in front of him.

On its right, an old red lizardman with one hand on his knees, half-crouched on the pillars of the palace, his head covered with bright feathers, his face smeared with white battle marks, and looked at his fellow people in the palace with an unruly gaze.

"Dear dragon, the Serpent's Tail has reappeared in the sky, and since Isolin's disappearance, we have rarely seen such a starscape again. We don't know what the metaphor behind this is, but every result of the water divination technique is a bad omen, and perhaps a big change is not far away. ”

The one who spoke was a somewhat fat lizardman, looking like a big-bellied toad, with webbed paws holding a slightly curved cane, thick fat covered in cuticles, almost squeezing its eyes into a slit, scanning the hall with the rest of its vision.

When it speaks, it has a thick belly sound, which is somewhat disgusting.

Beside it, a tall, gray-skinned fellow snorted contemptuously. The latter was almost as tall, young, and strong as Tenarik, with three necklaces of beast teeth lying on his strong pectoral muscles, and his upper body was exposed, and his vicious teeth were all over the place, more like a creature from the Jurassic era.

It replied, "The great age marked by the Age of the Sun has arrived, and it heralds that the age of elves and mortals has passed, and that Sinsas will return to the world. I can already feel the power of the astral plane converging, that voice has awakened, this is our time. ”

"And I," the young lizardman's voice sizzled, "and the heir of the will of the moon of destiny, the shining sea, the new king of Gudasok, give me your ancient rituals, everyone." ”

It stood up to Torragotos and replied haughtily, "Ancient Guardian, give me your blessing, I am the one you have been waiting for, and I will fulfill your long-cherished wish." ”

The dwarf turned around angrily and stood in front of the guy: "Old Toragotos will naturally choose that person. As for now, you'd better walk away a bit because it needs a break. It's already twelve hundred years old, and you'd better learn to respect the elderly. ”

"It's a matter of our clan, and you're the best one to walk away, old man." The tall lizardman said disdainfully.

The old dwarf snorted heavily, took the hammer from his back and held it in his hand, "Looks like I have to teach you what politeness is. ”

"Fighting?" The tall lizardman also took off his long knife: "All the saints are above, I will accompany you." ”

But it was at this time that a cold snort came from the other side of the hall:

"It's boring."

It was a rickety old lizardman, skinny and skinny, as if a gray-black outer skin was on a bare skeleton, and its iris and pupils were pale and different from those of others, like a pair of raised dead fish eyes.

Behind the old lizardman, there was also a group of humans, the red robes were very conspicuous, if Fang Plover was here, he would definitely be able to recognize the one of them, it was the guy who had fought him once at the elven ruins.

Later, when the ruins collapsed, he saw that the other party had been hit by flying rocks and fell to the bottom.

And immediately behind the old lizard man was the commander of the Jeffrey Redcoats at that time, the Lonely Boat in the Sea.

"Everyone," the old lizardman looked at the others with pale eyes, "since Isolin is gone, the prophecies of the ancient sages have been declared null and void, and our people have long since stopped believing in those ancient things. A new era has dawned, and this time we Night People will take control of our own destiny - and Sinsas will return, but not in the way you think. ”

"It," it spat out its forked letter, and uttered a dry sizzling voice, "it will reign over all." ”

"And you all have to submit to this."

The old lizardman pointed at the others with his withered twig-like fingers, and looked at everyone present with a threatening gaze, "Farewell." Then it grabbed the staff in its hand and limped backwards.

Behind it, the Jeffrey Redcoats got out of the way, glancing at the glittering hall with a look of envy in their eyes, but they also followed the old lizardman away.

As soon as the men left, the vast palace was empty.

Prior to the last era, this palace built on top of the valley was once a sacred place for the Sinsas snake people to perform their rituals, and the snake people worshipped the stars and the moon, as their sanctuaries were often high above the dome.

The dense columns and stairs are like saints and stars.

Fang Plover and Tenaric were slowly walking up the stairs in front of the palace under the leadership of Sophie and Akane, and just happened to take a look at the night lizard people who came out of it.

The elders of the night lizardfolk on the other side also stopped at the sight of Tenarec, both squinting at each other.

But it was only for a brief moment, and the pairs staggered by, leaving each other behind.

The man beside the lonely boat in the sea also looked back at Fang Yuan's back with some curiosity. "What's wrong?" Canghai Guzhou noticed his abnormality and asked. At this time, the elder knight Jory was no longer in the team, and after the battle of the elven ruins, the latter had retired half a month ago.

"Nothing." The Warrior shook his head, he had fought Fang Yuan once in the Battle of the Elven Ruins, but both were at a distance. And in the past month, Fang Yu has changed a lot, and the latter is wearing a mask, so he naturally can't recognize it: "It's just a little strange, I always feel that the person who passed before is a little familiar." ”

"You mean the little princess of Silver Veslan?" Canghai Guzhou asked.

"No, it's another."

"It's the lizardman."

"It's the young man next to it."

Canghai Guzhou recalled for a while, convinced that he had not seen each other, and he was very confident in his memory, so he no longer bothered about this problem. He turned back to the old night lizard and asked, "Respected elder, who was that guy before?" ”

"The young man from Andasok, I've heard of it, it's a little more promising than the one inside." The Night Lizard replied in a hoarse voice.

Fang Yu didn't think so much.

He naturally recognized the Jeffrey Redcoats at a glance, but he already knew that the Jeffrey Redcoats were in this place, and he knew the relationship between the other party and the Blood Oath, so he was naturally not too surprised in his heart.

He has a lot of enmity with the Jeffrey Redcoats, but this does not mean that he will openly provoke the other party in public, at best, he will hide in the shadows and quietly shadow the other party, just like before.

Of course, as his level and strength slowly grew, Fang Yu believed that he would always have a chance to give the other party a ruthless blow.

As for now, of course, he pretended not to know him, and before the military problem was resolved, he actually had a lot of tricks in the hands of the Flor descendants. Fortunately, to his relief, the other party didn't seem to recognize him.

Only Sophie paid attention to the previous details, her black hair swaying slightly in front of her, and asked, "Do you know them?" ”

"Who?" Fang Yu asked, "You said the Jeffrey Redcoats?" I've dealt with them in Evan Quinn. ”

The female knight nodded slightly.

After a while, she said, "They are not good people, the descendants of Flor have a bad reputation among the Electors, I think they seem to have noticed you, you better be careful of these people." ”

Fang Yu was slightly taken aback, he still thought that these big guilds were all the same, at least on the surface, they would maintain a harmonious appearance, but he didn't expect Sophie to point out so sharply.

However, after thinking about it, he was a little relieved, the Jeffrey Redcoats were behemoths in his eyes, and they were naturally nothing in the eyes of Silver Westland, and they could be evaluated at will. The BBK behind it is actually not even one of the top ten guilds, and it is stabilized by the Wind Talker Club where KUN is located.

If it's a guild like Elite, the other party may have to be cautious in what they say and do.

Sophie looked back and guessed what he was thinking by looking at his face, but she didn't explain, in fact, those who knew her well knew that her personality was like this. What she likes and dislikes, she will say it directly, and she saw that Fang Yu and his party were just a small adventure group, so she kindly reminded the other party.

"I've heard rumors like this in Guta," Sylvid said suddenly, "the Jeffrey Redcoats have a bad reputation there, especially among the natives. ”

"You're a Guta?" Sophie glanced back curiously at the aristocratic girl who was as delicate as a doll.

"I'm from Guta, Miss Sophie," Sylvid replied with a light smile, "and I remember Miss Sophie is from that place, too?" ”

"Hmm."

Sophie nodded, her novice days had indeed been spent there, and it was not actually the traditional sphere of influence of Silver Vislan, but the first front line between the Knights of Tapolis Oak and the Jeffrey Redcoats.

Not many people knew this secret, but this woman seemed to know her very well, and she couldn't help but glance at the latter more, and always felt that the other party seemed to be a little hostile to her.

But Sylvid only smiled in response to her gaze.

Several people entered the hall.

Fang Yu happened to hear the sound of an urn in front of him, and his belly-sounding voice was complaining: "Deviant!" He turned a pillar and saw a tall lizardman talking.

With brown skin and prismatic black patterns on their eyes, they are as huge as a toad, and the other party is still saying: "They are actually in collusion with humans, they are really depraved, and they deserve to be the most lowly of the guys." ”

"And the bunch of guys in the sea, I heard that they also hooked up with these people, and the sacred bloodline of Gudasok was tainted by these scum."

It's still babbling.

And the tall, gray-skinned lizardman had turned around vigilantly, his gaze swept over Fang Yu and the others, and then as if they were like air, he directly locked on to Tenarik.

Its elongated pupils, which have been completed into a narrow line.

"Sorkin Clan!" Fang Yu recognized the other party at a glance this time, the most famous of the three holy clans of Andasok, and the true leader of the Far South Kingdom. In his eyes, the lizardman was stronger than Tenarek, at least a line taller.

And the other party's golden hand is obviously more gorgeous than Tenarik's, it should be the Suojin holy relic, the secondary artifact Sun God's grasp, and the identity of the other party is self-evident.

This small place actually gathered two lizardman princes of Andasok, and the others seemed to be not idle. At least the brownish lizardman that Fang Plover saw, he could recognize it.

The Tada Lizards, the strongest spellcaster among the Lizardmen.

Then he looked up and saw the elderly lizard elder half-crouched on the beam, full of feathers, the latter of whom was even more of a bigger person, the successor of St. Huan, the blood lizard, and the lizardmen, who were on par with the Andasok lizardmen, if not more famous.

Then there was an old dwarf in the hall, and just by looking at the characteristic frost-gray eyebrows, Fang Yuan could recognize the other person as a steel-eyed dwarf.

It's not surprising to have steel eyebrows here.

Fang Plover knew all about the life of Magerie Torragotos, and in addition to not knowing that it had such a close connection with the lizardmen, it was natural to know the deep friendship between it and the steel eyebrows.

And behind the dwarf.

Fang Yu saw this legendary dragon for the first time.

The scene was even more shocking than he had imagined, and the hall of gold and treasure was almost dazzling everyone's eyes, like the treasure cave of the dragon depicted in all the legends.

Parker was dizzy, and with an 'ouch' pop, he sat down on the ground, his mouth wide open, and his saliva was about to come out. If it weren't for Tianlan hurriedly dragging this embarrassing guy to the back, it is estimated that this guy would have rushed to the front desperately.

The others were also more or less surprised.

Even if you are not surprised at the wealth of this place, you must be surprised by the dragon on that mountain of gold.

The legendary dragon was even larger than a full-fledged Nicol Bolas, and its spear-like tail curled up enough to circle the entire hall. The green scales reflected the light of gold, as deep as emerald, and as it breathed, it occasionally spewed out a golden flame, and the sound was as loud as rolling thunder.

And the pair of wings that cover the sky and the sun, people almost have to tilt their heads to see the whole picture, and this is still in its restrained state. It's hard to imagine what a spectacular picture it will look like when it opens.

But even such a huge mountain of ancient creatures.

Everyone could still clearly feel its weakness, and the old dragon breathed heavily, occasionally opening his eyelids to reveal a slit, and his golden gaze swept over everyone in the group.

But just this action seems to have exhausted its strength.

Seeing this appearance of Magory Toragotos, Fang Yu couldn't help but be surprised.

His impression of the legendary dragon rests on the majestic, shocking historical images of the community, in which the old dragon is still powerful, and it has taken on the form of a human, and it is also gentle.

And Fang Plover remembered that when it was last seen thirty years ago in Kaolin-Ihurian, it didn't seem to have aged to the way it is today.

What's going on here?

"I am too old to receive you," it was at this moment that an old, roaring voice seemed to explode above the dome of the hall and fell on the hearts of everyone: "But young friends, welcome to my palace. ”

Fang Yu saw that Magerie Toragotos didn't open his mouth at all, and paused for a moment before he realized that this was a psychic message.

Then, before the others could reply, a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant came from his heart: "Hello, Mr. Torragotos, we meet for the first time. I'm Tata, Tata-Thumbs-Morningstar. ”

"Oh," the old dragon lay motionless, but his voice was full of exclamation, "a little goblin, it seems that he still has some connection with our clan, hello, little girl." ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but look back at the others, but everyone didn't react, as if he was the only one who heard this.

At this time, Tenaric stepped forward, put his hand on his chest, and said, "Dear Guardian, I am here at your call. Lord E-Atta has told me about your deeds, and I have always longed for it, but unfortunately I have not been able to meet it before this, and I have brought greetings from the Shining Sea, but I have not only come for this, I have come for the ancient prophecy. ”

"I understand." The old dragon's voice was like a deep wind, blowing through the hall, "You step forward, son of the stars, I have been waiting for you for a long time, let me give you blessings, Sophie's little girl has finally done a good thing." ”

Everyone was stunned.

The lizards looked at each other, but Fang Yu had not yet understood the meaning of the blessing, and it was at this time that a dark wave seemed to sweep in the world of his thoughts.

His eyes widened for a moment, and he saw that it was not a wave, but a series of continuous images. Those images came to his mind, and gradually became clear.

He felt like he had turned into a dragon.

A small dragon, weak, had just burst out of the eggshell, as if a primitive instinct drove him to watch himself eat his own eggshell little by little and regain a little strength.

It was an extremely dark environment.

It was the first dragon to hatch in the nest of eggs, and it was called Torragotos, and it fluttered its wings carefully, surveying the darkness.

It was a deep dungeon.

It stood quietly in that place like a palace in the dark, and at the end of the dragon's vision, there was a building that was somewhat familiar to Fang Yuan, hidden in the mist.

You are an obelisk.

Then the style of painting changed, and he had grown a lot, at least he could lie dormant in the dark underground, hunting smaller beasts. It became the king of this small territory, and there was no stronger beast in the region it ruled.

It's a dragon after all, and it's called Torragotos.

Then Fang Yu had a lot of memories in his mind, he had seventeen or eighteen brothers and sisters, but he had died all these years, and in the dark underground, the survival rate of juvenile dragons was also quite low.

And in the depths of memory, there is always a place that makes it feel palpitations, as if the mere thought of it can make a giant dragon chill.

At this moment, Fang Plover naturally feels the same way.

He felt that time had passed, and that the young dragon had grown up little by little, and finally had the strength to compete with the most powerful creatures of the underworld, even the night lizardmen, and they fled in all directions under its roar.

Then, again, it went to that place.

In Fang Yuan's field of vision, it was a lonely bridge, as if hanging out of thin air in the thick black fog, with neither a head nor a tail. As it approached the center of the bridge, the uneasiness in its heart became more and more apparent.

Then a tall building breaks through the fog.

It was a palace.

And in the center of the palace, the black tower stood silently.

That was almost the last thing Fang Yu saw, and he was horrified to see a dark eye staring at him from top of the tower, as if it was getting closer and closer, as if nothing could break free from its control.

And the moment he couldn't help but scream, all the images disappeared.

Only the old dragon's voice sounded: "That is where the prophecy is, son of the stars, have you seen it?" ”

Tenaric frowned, "That's the relics of an ancient sage?" What's sealed on that minaret? ”

Behind the lizardman, Azure was frightened like a puppeteer, motionless and pale. Kita also pressed her heart tightly, and seemed a little uncomfortable.

The aristocratic lady frowned slightly, clutching her suitcase, tilting her head not knowing what she was thinking. As for the others, their faces are not much better. Even the lionman became serious, holding his scepter and sighing, "What a powerful dark force. ”

Attila nodded slightly. On the side of several people, Sophie also frowned and held her sword.

A glimmer of golden light flashed in the old dragon's eyes before he replied: "This is all I can tell you, Child of the Stars, even I can't find out what is hidden in the depths of that memory, it is the memory of my youth, it may be of some help to you." ”

"Come," it said, "let me bless you." ”

"Wait a minute!" It was at this time that the tall lizardman of the Suojin clan stood up: "Why is this thing that I deserve your blessing, old dragon. ”

It unceremoniously stopped in front of Tenaric and looked at the latter with contempt.

And the old dwarf grabbed his hammer again, and roared: "What are you, get out of the way!" ”

Just when the two sides are at loggerheads.

Fang Yu's heart suddenly jumped slightly.

"Huh?"

All the lizardfolk present turned their heads, including the Blood Lizard Elder, who had been silent all along, and they looked strangely at the human standing behind Tenaric with their vertical pupils.

And among all of them, only the lizardman prince seemed to have expected it, and it didn't say a word, only took a step back and came to Fang Yuan's side.

And at that moment.

Fang Yu suddenly felt a hot pain on his forehead.

He almost screamed as he saw everyone's eyes widen at the silver mark on his forehead.

That's a crown—

Although only half of it remains.
