Chapter 508: The Choice Ahead
Hearing the roar of the black dragon, Angelinte and Irene were stunned. Then the vampire quickly blinked his eyes, and then looked at the iron-faced Irene quietly. Hearing this, Angeline finally found the answer that the people of the Night Nation had been looking for but had never found. For the sake of why Ion did not allow Irene to interfere in the affairs of the Night Country, and was not even willing to give her an idle position, but kept her away from politics. It turned out that after a long time of trouble, Her Royal Highness the princess who looked like a vase was the lord of the destiny of the Night Kingdom, and the current dark dragon was actually a usurper. It's no wonder, if you think about it, it's true, in Angelin's eyes, Irene is better than Ion in every way, maybe her personality won't be as tough as Ion, but stability has always been the best ancient tradition in the Night Nation. Immortal life is enough to ensure that as long as there are no accidents, then the nobles who once and now live in the Night Realm will soon hold their original power in the future. If it weren't for Ion's insistence on promoting the small and medium-sized nobles in the countryβββ to be honest, Angelint herself was a victim of this policy, if it wasn't for Ion's instigation of the small and medium-sized families to rebel, then her primordial blood family would not have declined so quickly, and it was impossible to say that the little guy had no grudge against Ion. However, in the past, because of the problem of strength, she could only throw this impossible idea aside, but now...............
So from this point of view, the little guy also thinks that if Irene is the master of the Night Country, it may be much better than Ion, after all, this Moon Princess's strength, wisdom, judgment and other aspects are outstanding. If it weren't for the need to inherit the dragon soul, then she would definitely be more suitable for this position than Ion. But unfortunately, the master of the Night Country must be the inheritor of the dragon soul. I'm afraid this is also for what Ion will snatch the dragon soul. And the reason for prohibiting Irene from meddling in government affairs. After all, the reason why he was recognized by everyone was only because he was the "Inheritor of the Dragon Soul", and once others found out that Irene's governance ability was stronger than his own, then maybe the power center of the entire Night Country would be tilted towards Irene. At that time, Ion will be a simple mascot like Lillian in the Land of Light. But that was clearly not what Ion wanted to see, otherwise. Why did he have to fight to imprison his mother and gain the power of the dragon soul?
Thinking of this, Angeline glanced at Irene again, it was obvious that Her Royal Highness the princess in front of her had obviously thought of this, her face had become very complicated at this moment, looking at her clenched, slightly trembling hands, you could know that Her Royal Highness the Moon Princess in front of her was not calm at the moment. So Angelin didn't say much. Instead, she rolled her eyes, then narrowed slightly.
This time, I heard a big secret, if I give this information to His Majesty Rod, then I will definitely get a rich rewardβββ right, do you want His Majesty Rod's instigation of His Royal Highness Irene to ascend to the position of Lord of the Night Country? Although it seems that Her Highness Irene still does not have such thoughts, if it is His Majesty Rod's suggestion, then she should more or less follow it. If that's the case. So as the original blood clan, maybe what benefits will he gain from it......... After all, this kind of thing has been done by His Majesty Rhodes before. There shouldn't be any problem.
Thinking of this, Angelinte's eyes couldn't help but flash a little smugness, she knew very well what kind of rich rewards she would bring to herself by doing so. She had seen the situation on Sonya's side before, but just because she was taking care of the Radiant Dragon, she became her confidant, if it weren't for the fact that the human himself didn't seem to have much desire. Then she can now gain great power!
But forget it, humans are short-lived races after all, stupid and short-sighted. But he is different, if he can succeed, then restore the past glory of the family. It's just around the corner, and at that time, she will make everyone who humiliated her pay the price!
Sure enough, as Angelin expected, after a moment of silence, Irene only sighed softly, but didn't say anything more. Seeing her like this, Angelin also knew that she couldn't expect Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Moon to have any thoughts about regaining the throne that belonged to her. So she coughed lightly and asked.
"Honorable Lord Black Dragon, we came here by accident and got lost, do you know how to .........come here?"
"Wait, Angelinte."
But Angelinte's words were interrupted by Irene before she could finish her sentence. Then the Moon Princess raised her head and looked at the black dragon in front of her.
"Mother, is there any way to get you out of here? Escape from this cage? β
"Get out of here? Why do you want to get out of here? β
Hearing Irene's words, the black dragon shook her head, her current mental state was obviously very dazed and vague, Angelinte even wondered if she understood what Ireneen was saying just now, but soon, the black dragon gave up shaking his head again, but squinted his eyes and lay on the ground again.
"Here......... Once the place where the original Dark Dragons imprisoned the traitors, there was no exit from it, and no one could escape from it. These trapped dragon locks are specially created to deal with the dragons, the ultimate torture tools. There is no way for anyone but the Dark Dragon or whoever inherits its power, no matter who it is......... You can't leave here, it's a permanent, ancient labyrinth. Even if you want to use your own strength to forcibly break a passage out of the channel, it is impossible, here is full of spaces created by the use of Qingling stones, here, the dragon's strength is useless. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ It won't be so unlucky. β
Hearing the black dragon's words, not only Irene, but even Angelin also lowered her face at this moment, Qingling Stone is a special ore that is only produced in the Night Country, and it has a very unique property, that is, it can absorb the power of the soul. And the weird thing is that the more soul power it absorbs, the harder it becomes. No one knows whether the Qingling Stone has an upper limit for its bearing, and there are also prisons built with Qinglingshi in the Night Country to hold important prisoners. Since this is an undead realm after all, it is natural that most of the prisoners are also undead creatures who can use the power of their souls, and of course ordinary prisons can't hold them. But in this kind of prison made of blue spirit stone, no matter if you are a lich or something, even if you can have the power to destroy the world, it is impossible to do the slightest damage to these buildings.
Originally, the two of them planned to use the ultimate method, but now it seems that even using this method is delusional. Of course, there may be hope if they can find the underground river that Angelint accidentally turned over, but unfortunately, they have spent a long time looking for it, but there is still no clue. Even Angeline herself didn't know where the road was.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Since this is a prison, is there a guard here? β
After a moment of silence, Irene asked. And in the face of her inquiry, the black dragon shook his head.
"There is no need for guards here, because no one who enters here can leave, and here, guards and prisoners mean the same thing. Moreover, I advise you not to go deep into ......... Because I could feel that in the depths of this prison, there was a very terrible, cold aura of death, and I didn't know what it was. All I know is that the cold aura of death has been there since before I came here. Be careful, it's definitely not a place for the living. Even if it is as strong as a black dragon, it will inevitably die completely under the breath of death. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ I see, thank you for the reminder, Mother. β
"Hehehe, don't thank me, little girl. My daughter should be about your age, if only she could be here......... I don't know what she's doing now......... I'm really worried about her. She's not going to be bullied by that horrible brother, I'm really worried..............."
"Don't worry, Mother, I can assure you............... She's not going to suffer. β
"Hehe, thank you, little girl......... I don't know what you say, but I always think what you say is very convincing......" As he spoke, the black dragon lay back on the ground, then closed his eyes and muttered to himself. ββ¦β¦β¦ yes, my daughter is so smart......... There must be no problem........."
With that, it slowly closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep again. Irene, on the other hand, just stood there, staring at the scene in front of her. Sadness and anger appeared in her eyes, her clenched fists trembled, it was clear that her daughter was in front of her, but her mother did not look at her at all, she was not concerned about herself, but the daughter who existed in her imagination...............
Brother, is that what you expected? In order to gain that power, would you rather want your mother to become like this than give it up? What is it exactly? Why do you have to do this?
Thinking of this, Irene took a deep breath and turned her head.
"Angelinte, let's go."
"Huh? Are you really going? Her Royal Highness the Princess? β
Hearing Irene's words, Angelinte couldn't help but be stunned.
"But just now Lord Black Dragon said that the aura of death inside is very strong, after all, you are a living, so ..............."
"Don't worry, just go and see what's going on. Also, since there is no way out of the other place, there may be an exit in a place where no one else can enter............... If by that time, I can't pass........."
With this, Irene winked playfully at Angelinte.
"Isn't there still you? Please? Miss Angelinte? β
Hearing Irene's answer, Angelinte's face froze slightly, but she coughed awkwardly and forced herself to smile.
"Leave it to me, Your Highness Princess." (To be continued......)
