"For what......... Mother will be here? ”

Looking at the black dragon in front of her, who seemed to have fallen into an eternal sleep, Irene couldn't hide her surprise. Angelinte, on the other hand, looked at Irene, then at the black dragon, and finally walked to the side without saying anything. As a former citizen of the Night Nation, she certainly knows a lot about the upper echelons of power in the Night Nation. Just as the inheritors of the dragon soul of the Kingdom of Law were only born in the Tree of the World Realm, the inheritors of the dragon soul of the Kingdom of Night were only born in the Dragon Clan. It's just that the number of wurms is naturally scarce, and there are less than twenty left in this generation, and these dragons basically spend their time sleeping. Unless the Night Nation is at stake, they will not come forward. If it weren't for Irene being Ion's sister, then she would just be one of those dragons sleeping with their heads covered, and she wouldn't be running around the world like she is now.

As for Irene's mother, Angelin is more or less aware of the situation, and she is also the mother who gave birth to the soul of the creation dragon, and is naturally the object of reverence of the entire Night Country. It's just that I heard that she died of a serious illness a long time ago, and now she is actually imprisoned here——— anyway, Angelinte is not too surprised by this kind of thing, she herself was ruined by her relatives, no, or in the vampire species of the Night Country, this kind of family ethics plot is simply commonplace, so at this time she quietly retreated to the side, anyway, no matter how you look at it, this is Irene's private matter, she had better not mix it here, just don't see anything.

"Mother!?"

Irene didn't care about Angelinte beside her at the moment, she stared at the scene in front of her and felt extremely shocked. Irene also knew the news that her mother was seriously ill and died, but she didn't feel anything wrong at the time. Because although the dragon itself is vigorous, once it is infected, it is definitely a serious illness, and when Ireen learned the news that her mother was seriously ill. By the time I rushed back, my mother had already died. It was my brother who was in charge of everything, and at that time, Ireen was also very irritable because of her mother's death, so she put everything on her brother. It was after that that Ion obtained the inheritance of the Dragon Soul and officially became the inheritor of the Dragon Soul.

But now it seems, things don't seem to be like that. Irene can be sure that it is indeed her mother who appears in front of her. And she's not a hallucination of herself. That familiar breath, that familiar look, everything can make Irene sure that it was indeed her mother who appeared in front of her!!

“……………… Who is ............?"

It seemed to hear Irene's call, and soon, the dragon, which had seemed to be in a coma, slowly raised its head. Open your eyes and look ahead. After looking in the void for a moment, the blank eyes seemed to barely regain a little clarity, and locked their eyes on Irene's body, revealing some doubts.

“………… Who is ...............?"

"Mother, I'm Irene! How did you end up ............ here? And why would you become like this?! ”

Looking at the black dragon in front of her, who was covered in scaly wounds, Irene bit her lip, she only felt a mess in her brain now. In fact, Irene is not stupid, after seeing her mother. She had already guessed right away that there was something wrong inside. At that time, I also attended my mother's funeral, but I didn't see my mother's body, and according to the rules of the dragon clan, every dragon must be sent to the Dragon Valley for burial and resting after death. But Irene didn't see the body, according to her brother, her mother's death was too unbearable to look at, and Irene herself didn't want to see her dead mother. So I also accepted Ion's statement. But in retrospect, the funeral was indeed full of suspicions, and Irene had vaguely heard some rumors later, but these gossips never appeared again after Ion became the successor of the dragon soul to rule the Night Country. At the time, Irene only thought that this was a rumor spread by some people to her brother because of jealousy, after all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the Night Country. And they really don't have any real evidence. As for going to the Dragon's Nest to disturb the sleep of the dead, of course, such a thing is not allowed, and only dragons on the verge of death can open and enter it. In other words, if Irene wants to enter the Dragon Nest to find out the truth of the rumors, then the first thing she has to do is beat herself half to death, which is naturally impossible for Irene.........

“………… Elaine............? ”

Hearing this name, the black dragon's eyes gradually brightened, and then suddenly became much darker again.

“………… Elaine......... The name......... I've heard of ......... It seems like......... Where ..............."

"Mother?"

Looking at the situation of the black dragon in front of her, Irene gritted her teeth, she quickly glanced around, and soon found that the huge chains that bound the black dragon were flashing with a strange green light at the moment, it was obvious that the reason why her mother became what she was now was because of these chains! Thinking of this, Irene no longer hesitated, she immediately stretched out her hand to draw the long sword, and then the whole person jumped up suddenly, raised the long sword in her hand high, and swung it hard at the chain in front of her!

"Bell!!"

But what Irene didn't expect was that the moment her sword blade touched the chain, a powerful force immediately erupted from above, bouncing her sword edge away. This surprised Irene, but she did not give up because of this, on the contrary, the girl grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and the dazzling sword light suddenly burst out from the sword of the long sword like a clear moonlight, and then Irene slashed down again. However, with the sound of "bell", the long sword in Irene's hand was bounced away again.

Failed again?

Looking at the constantly shaking chains in front of her, Irene froze there, and in the blow just now, she had almost shown her all-out attack. But it still couldn't cut the chain, and the only thing to gain was that the chain wasn't completely unbreakable, at least it still had a corner under Irene's attack, but it was only a piece the size of a fingernail. Looking at the huge iron chain in front of her, which was the thickness of an arm, and then looking at the almost undetectable gap on it, Irene suddenly had no choice. At this time, the black dragon opened its eyes again and glanced at her.

"No......... Wasted effort to measure......... You're a dragon, and these chains have specific runes on them, enough to make them immune to any dragon's power. Even if you try your best, you won't be able to cut the ............... of these chains."

Speaking of this, the black dragon looked at the girl in front of him, and his eyes showed a rare bit of tenderness.

"It's weird......... I seem to have felt your breath somewhere......... I used to have two children, and you have a lot of smell like my daughter......... Maybe she'll be like you when she grows up..............."

"Mother's ..............."

Hearing the black dragon's words, Irene bit her lip. She had now discovered that although the black dragon seemed to be quite sober and sane, her memory seemed to be incomplete, and she was standing in front of her, but she didn't recognize herself at all. It was a painful feeling for Irene, but what could she do? Holding the long sword in her hand tightly, Irene looked at the black dragon in front of her with a complicated expression. But the black dragon no longer seemed to care about Irene in front of him, instead, it raised its head and looked blankly into the air, as if it was dreaming.

"That's nice......... I used to have two children, and they were both wonderful children......... Being well-behaved and obedient, smart and clever is my pride. Especially my daughter......... She's inherited the best of our Night Dragons, and I'm so proud of her every time I see her. We all believe that she will be able to make a good ruler and make the kingdom of the eternal night more prosperous, and leave her own mark in the history of the kingdom of the night, as her ancestors did........."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Irene and Angeline were stunned, what is going on? According to the black dragon in front of her, she was actually optimistic about Irene becoming the inheritor of the dragon soul at that time? And not Ion? How is this possible? Thinking of this, the two glanced at each other, and each saw the doubts in each other's hearts. At this time, Angeline coughed and asked curiously.

"That......... Lord Black Dragon? Don't you have two children? Why are you sure that it will be your daughter who will obtain the inheritance of the dragon soul? ”

"Oh....................."

Hearing Angelinte's inquiry, the black dragon narrowed his eyes and looked at her, then raised his head again. It can be seen that now its consciousness seems to have entered a trance, and it can be said that it has to answer all questions. Or because of the perennial captivity, her spirit has already become not very normal. Maybe she's not answering Angelinte's question at all, she's asking herself.

"Because......... I have two children......... But the inheritor of the dragon soul......... There is only one ............... They need to prove their worthiness for the inheritance of the Dragon Soul through their own efforts. Of my two children, the older one is very capable, but he is stubborn and extreme, and I don't think he is suitable to be the master of the Night Nation. Compared to him, my daughter is smarter and softer, and if she is there, she will surely be able to make the Night Kingdom flourish in her hands——— just like our ancestors. But ..............."

"But ...............?"

"But............ She............ No, he .................. That he ............ But he didn't want to......... Accept......... Destiny............ He..................! ”

Saying this, the black dragon suddenly lowered its head and trembled as if it had been attacked in pain, and it was not until a moment later that it suddenly slapped its dragon claws.

“………… So............ I'm going to ............ here!! Because......... If you lose me......... He is not eligible for inheritance!! ”

"What!?"

Hearing this, both Irene and Angelinte were stunned. (To be continued......)
