v. 231, the prophecy of Crassus
Crassus said: "You took the initiative to come to the door, but it also saved me a lot of energy. ”
"What?" Dante listened to it and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but it was too late! I saw the King of the Red Dragon open his mouth and spit out a very strange colored mist at him. The mist quickly enveloped him, Ash, and Lisa!
"Oops, Dante!" "Ash, Lisa!" ……
……
When Dante regained his senses, he found himself lying on a large suspended rock. This seems to be a parallel dimension, similar to the one where Nightmare Beasts were killed before. It's all that kind of colored mist, colorful, constantly changing colors.
It seems that this space is endless, as far as the eye can see, and there are many large and small stones suspended in the middle of the space. Looking again, Dante sees Ash and Lisa lying on top of the other two stones. Nothing seemed wrong with them.
"Dante, I'm here." Just when Dante was wondering, a man's voice came from somewhere, drawing his gaze to it. When Dante heard this, he hurriedly followed the sound and saw a human man in a red robe standing on a suspended stone not far away, looking at him.
"Who are you?" Dante did not know the man, so he asked him, "Obviously, you know me." What kind of place is this? ”
The man smiled and said, "I am Crassus." This is the parallel space I constructed with the power of the dragon. ”
When Dante heard him, he touched the Demon King's sword, but he gave up. He felt that if the King of the Red Dragon really wanted to kill him. I did it a long time ago, so I shouldn't have had such a trouble going around.
"Dante. Don't use force, it's useless. "Crassus saw Dante touch the Demon King's sword. "I'm not here to kill you, but I'm bringing you here to have a good talk." It's not very convenient for me to chat with a dragon body. ”
"That's good." Dante pointed to the unconscious Ash and Lisa and said, "What's wrong with them?" ”
Crassus looked at them and said, "Let them rest for a while, two lovely little girls." ”
Then, he beckoned. Dante suddenly felt the pumice stone under his feet move, and floated towards the stone where Crassus was standing. The two stones where Ash and Lisa were lying slowly merged together and levitated steadily.
After a while, Dante arrived at Crassus's side. Crassus looked at Dante with an expressionless face and said, "Dante, the reason why I have brought you to this secret space is because I want to tell you something very important. Let's start with your business. You came to me to resurrect the soul of a human woman, right? ”
The King of the Red Dragon's straightforward remarks surprised Dante. He thought that Crassus wanted something to test him, so he said, "Ah, yes." That's what I'm here for. ”
"Where is the soul? Show me. Crassus said. It's not hard for me. ”
Dante was overjoyed. Hurriedly summoned Gerald's soul from the extradimensional cage and carefully held it in the palm of his hand. Like a flame, it was sent to Crassus.
“……”
Unexpectedly, Crassus looked at the constantly beating purple soul flame, frowned, and said to Dante, "Dante, this human woman, why did she become this ghost?" You tell me about it. ”
Dante told the Red Dragon King about his previous encounter with Gilneth and Arugao's destruction of the Kingdom of Gilness, but he did not explicitly say that he wanted to take the opportunity to occupy the Kingdom of Gilness, but only that he was helping his friend Ariuzhe.
Crassus listened carefully to Dante's story, thought for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that my fears have become true!" ”
When Dante heard such inexplicable words, he hurriedly asked, "What facts?" What worries? What are you worried about? ”
Crassus pointed to Dante and said, "Didn't you bring that forbidden encyclopedia?" ”
"Oh, I'll give it to you." Dante took out the encyclopedia from the cage of another dimension, handed it to the King of the Red Dragon, pointed to the old man's face on the book case, and said, "You should know this book, right?" ”
"Hi Crassus!" At this moment, the old man opened his eyes, glared at the King of the Red Dragon, and said loudly, "Do you still know me?" ”
"Huh?" Crassus was obviously not mentally prepared, and was stunned for a moment when he was greeted by the old man so suddenly, and took a closer look at this obscene encyclopedia, and said, "I seem to have an impression of this book." ”
"Have you forgotten? What a noble person forgets things! The old man seemed to be a little impatient with the forgetfulness of the Red Dragon King, but its own memory was also sealed, and it was embarrassing that it couldn't come up with something to say after thinking about it for a long time.
Crassus seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "Ah, yes, I remembered. The author of this book is the elven priest! I do remember him! ”
However, the King of the Red Dragon quickly regained his composure, returned the encyclopedia to Dante, and said lightly: "Dante, thank you for bringing this book, which reminds me of some past events. However, now is not the time to reminisce, and the author of this book has been dead for a long time. ”
"Oh, that's right." Dante originally thought that Crassus would turn the pages directly, and then pointed to the contents of the book with a lot of surprises, but it turned out to be like this, which really made him unhappy!
However, there is no way, now the main thing is to convince the Red Dragon King to help save Gerald, and other things will be aside.
It seems that Crassus has a lot of hidden secrets that he doesn't want to say, and it has something to do with this book. Later, let's see if Lisa can find some clues from the content.
"Crassus...... Adult...... "Dante didn't know what to call the Red Dragon King's human form, so he could only call him "Adult". He said, "Excuse me, save Gerald, do you have any conditions?" Just say it. I'm going to come here with a lot of determination, and I won't go back until I do it! ”
"Of course there are conditions." Crassus had already used his magic to levitate Gerald's soul flame in front of him, and said to Dante, "I know at a glance that you are a demon. ”
“……”
Dante was shocked, but soon regained his composure. For the mighty Red Dragon King, this must not be hidden.
Seeing that Dante was very calm, Crassus continued: "Our Red Dragon Legion was originally not interested in those trivial things in the human world, but now, you have appeared, and at the same time, the undead have also appeared, this thing does not seem to be a coincidence. ”
"Then ......" Dante didn't want the Red Dragon King to pay too much attention to his identity as the Great Demon King, but he was helpless, so he smiled and said, "Lord Crassus, please tell me your conditions, I can do it!" "He must save Gerard so that Ariuzhe can willingly take Gilneth for him.
"The conditions, for you, are very difficult, but there are also great benefits!" Crassus said unhurriedly to Dante, "You should be more than willing to do it." ”
"Really? That's great! Dante was overjoyed when he heard this, bowed to Crassus with a smile, and said, "What, then, is the request?" ”
Crassus thought for a moment and said, "I ask you to save the civilians of the Griffon Kingdom!" ”
"Ah, what? This ......" Dante was puzzled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Please tell me what this means?" I'm going to save, griffon kingdom, civilians? ”
Crassus nodded and said, "This is relatively sudden for you, but for me, I have seen it a long time ago. We dragons, with ancient powers, are more powerful than you mortal creatures can imagine. One of the functions of the Ancient Force is that it can predict the prophet, and while not necessarily correct, it can see some trends. ”
Then, he stopped talking, looking at Dante, as if he wanted to wait for Dante to ask something.
Dante asked, "Kingdom of Griffons...... Isn't it powerful? How could it be ......"
Crassus shook his head and said, "The griffon kingdom has entered the countdown to destruction!" Its collapse is only a matter of time! (To be continued......)
