Chapter 60: The Seed
The arrows, which were carefully carved with spiral patterns, increased the speed of rotation in the flight of the air, thus bringing the advantage of enhanced destructive power, directly "biting" a large piece of wood from a thick wooden pillar next to the door of the old warehouse, and at the same time forcing out the people hiding behind the pillar.
"General, why are you here? Ipeia was also slightly surprised to see the face of this unrestrained guest.
In her opinion, no one should be able to break into the illusion barrier, could it be that when Fudilokaya was focusing on controlling the giant magic array in the city's underground, her magic power was slightly missing?
The visitor was not in the original list of "guests" of Ipeya, and the sturdy tiger body was quite recognizable, he was one of the heroes who had assisted Empress Ipeia in quelling the rebellion of the two princes not long ago: General Bazak Menavino. At this time, the general carried a meteor hammer in his hand, an axe at his waist, and his armor was stained with blood, and there was a fresh horizontal scar on his right face, from which blood was pouring out, which could be seen to have just been scratched by Prince Harun's arrow.
"Your Majesty, the Chancellor was evacuating the citizens just now, but, as the Empress, why are you here?" General Menavino asked his sovereign in turn.
From the general's questioning tone, Ipeia knew that the matter might have been leaked a long time ago, so she immediately sank her face and said, "Okay, no matter how you came here, what did you hear just now?"
"The ministers almost heard what they should hear and what they shouldn't. Speaking of this, the general put his hand on his chest, "Your Majesty, please tell your ministers what you said in your heart, everything you just said is false, and you will never use the subjects of the empire as sacrificial vessels, right?
In the face of the general's urgent questioning, the empress did not answer. The two monarchs and ministers were in a stalemate, looking at each other from afar.
Dissatisfied with this stalemate, Prince Harun placed a second arrow on his raised longbow.
"Wait. Ipeya stopped Prince Harun, "Let me take care of this matter." ”
"Okay. He is your subordinate. Prince Harun put away his bow and arrows, and stepped back.
For Prince Harun, even if he does not get involved in the secrets of the Truth Society, he is first and foremost the crown prince of the Kingdom of Sealand, and after he ascends the throne in the future, the neighboring country will have one less powerful general, which will be a good thing that will benefit and do no harm.
"Pay attention to the proportions of your hands, this house is still useful. The object of Ipeya was changed to the three Fernandez sisters, who had been gathering momentum for a long time.
"Your Majesty......"
General Menavino called out with his last effort, and he still did not want to believe that the empress whom he had sworn allegiance had betrayed. However, the strong atmosphere of danger felt at the scene forced General Menavino to accept the facts.
At some point, the windbreaker harrier flew around the beams above, disturbing the air flow in the old warehouse, and in front of General Menavino, the smaller fire scale python revealed its long, burning body.
When the "Changdangdang ......" pulled the meteor hammer, the sound of the iron chain indicated that this battle was inevitable.
In another Alexandria city underground, a giant magic array formed by the blood of a fairy dragon was fully activated, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of living people who were sacrificed became a huge energy for the movement of the magic array, forming an energy cycle with the magic power of the manipulators on the ground.
At the same time, on the ground, more than a dozen golden dragons who were restrained by the shackles of magic power, and the continuous screams gradually weakened and disappeared. These dragons whose souls have been imprisoned, although they still belong to the Golden Dragon Clan on the outside, the pupils of their eyes have gradually been filled with purple.
"It seems that the situation is even more serious than I predicted, and this is not just an expanded version of the soul-locking magic, but the replacement of the soul of the fairy dragon that has died. Isabelle, the former empress of the Golden Dragon Clan on the hill, couldn't help but feel terrified by this.
"What? are you saying that there are other souls taking over the Golden Dragon's body?" Shatarikis also felt the gravity of the matter.
"The ancient souls of the fairy dragons that have been sleeping in the underground dragon tombs have been awakened, and are now taking over the shells of these golden dragons little by little. As soon as this ritual is completed, the Elder Sect will transform into a fairy dragon, and the process can never be reversed. ”
"But this magic that controls the power of death is a dastardly trick that only human necromancers would learn. ”
"The necromancers of the human race were taught by the fairy dragon. The fairy dragons have mastered far more magic than we know. It's not surprising that the Fairy Dragon Queen, who unleashed the 'Dragon Wars', has mastered all the magic of the past and the present. ”
"It's all come to this point, aren't we still going to intervene?"
Isabel didn't answer, she looked at the burning city in the distance, as if searching for something.
Not all parts of Alexandria were baptized by fire.
Two places survived: an old warehouse where Empress Ipeia and her pursuers and allies were hiding, and a small area in the slums on the western edge of the city.
The reason why these two places were spared the destruction of the golden dragon was the same, they were both protected by the illusion barrier, and the heavenly dragon had no idea of its existence.
In a hut in the slum, a teenager fell asleep on a simple bed.
The boy's right hand was clenched into a fist, and it seemed that he was holding something in his palm, and amazingly, a small seedling was growing out through his fingers, growing out with difficulty, and growing two small young green leaves.
A few hours ago, Fudilokaya had placed a seed in Ray's palm, and now the seed had sprouted.
Although he was asleep, Ray's frightened demeanor and trembling body showed that he was not sleeping peacefully.
"Don't be afraid, Grace, I'll protect you...... I'll protect you......"
Thunder let out a chaotic nightmare. Not only did he not sleep well, but he was constantly tormented by nightmares.
It was a series of broken dreams between him and Grace, dreams that Ray remembered having ever experienced with Grace, or that he had never experienced in his memory.
In the final dream, Ray discovers that his identities and Grace are reversed. Grace somehow becomes the Empress of a human nation, threatened by the rebels of her own subordinates, and Ray himself transforms into a dragon to incinerate the rebels who are intent on harming Grace.
