Chapter 54: The Last Conscience



In many commentaries of later history, it is often believed that Empress Ipeia deceived her people, but others believe that this is not entirely the case, and that Ipeia was indeed a dragon knight, but that the dragon clan who made a contract with her was not a golden dragon, nothing more.

History is a little girl who dresses up, and it is always written by the victors. If it had been the other side that had won the victory, the same history would have been interpreted differently.

......

People today don't know how things will play out in the future, and the only thing they know now is revelry and celebration.

In the midst of the mountain calls of the subjects, the golden dragon that circled the imperial capital slowly landed in the backyard of the palace.

The high walls were guarded by soldiers, and no one was allowed to enter the backyard. Because Her Majesty had warned them that the Golden Dragon did not like to be disturbed, the guards, maids, and servants were all driven outside, and the backyard of the palace was empty these days, and no one dared to climb the wall to get a glimpse of the Golden Dragon's dignity, because everyone knew what would happen if they provoked a dragon, and no one would want to "enjoy" the "funeral" of the same treatment as Yulie, Prince of Mercadenburg.

Of course, for Ipeia and others with inside knowledge, emptying the backyard was just to make some unseemly plan go more smoothly.

After the golden dragon landed on the grass in the backyard, it quickly shrunk its body, and even its appearance changed radically, and finally turned into a young human man, lying on the grass screen, unconscious.

It is common knowledge that dragons can transform into human form, but if humans can also change into dragons, no one will believe it. Therefore, no one would have thought that this young man with a weak gossamer was actually the true body of the domineering golden dragon just now.

A short humanoid figure staggered towards Ray who was lying on the grass screen.

Fudi Rokaya, dragging her weak old body, staggered step by step, and it took a lot of time to get to Ray's side. The old woman squatted down, stretched out her wrinkled and shriveled hands, and pointed her palms at the thunder. A cloud of purple light appeared and enveloped Ray's body, and the purple ball of light gradually shrank and eventually disappeared - along with the thunder that was encased in it.

In a VIP room opposite the grass screen, the quilt fell messily on the ground, and on the wide bed, a ball of purple light suddenly appeared, and gradually transformed into a human form, and finally "spit out" the thunder, and the purple light slowly disappeared. Then, the quilt on the ground slowly floated up automatically, covering Ray's body, and finally returned to normal.

When she was done, Vodilokaya turned around and walked slowly back to her room.

And the whole process was watched by the eyes behind a dark window in the tall tower next to it.

Fearing that he would be recognized by the intelligence agents of his own country in Alexandria, Prince Harun did not participate in the celebrations. Not only the "Red Moon Mica Festival", but also the gatherings and banquets with a slightly larger number of people, he will never show up, and during the few days he lived in the palace of Alexander, he avoided the foreign ministers, chamberlains and other related or unrelated people of the empire as much as possible, so the scope of Prince Harun's activities was extremely narrow, which made his channels for obtaining information from the outside world also blocked.

As a result, Prince Harun monitored Fudilokaya's activities more closely than ever.

As one of the very few people who know about the relationship between Ipeia and Fudirokaya, although Prince Harun doesn't know what Ipeia is doing all day long, as long as he can grasp the dynamics of Fudirokaya, it is equivalent to mastering the key information of Ipeia. Ipeya is working on her own plans, and Prince Harun has his own plans.

Every glamorous city has slums that hide filth and filth, and Alexandria, as the capital of the millennium, is no exception.

In the narrow, dark, and complicated lanes of the slums, there is a beautiful woman in purple clothes and purple hair who is walking through the streets and alleys in an orderly manner, as if she was born and raised here.

Originally, with her beauty and clothing, in a place like the slum would have attracted countless accosting and harassment, but at this time, most of the people went to the streets to participate in the most special celebration of the "Red Moon Mica Festival" - among them, there were not a few poor people who sincerely wanted to worship and praise Her Majesty the Empress, but most of them just wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a fortune by their own means - whatever the motive, the usually crowded and lively slums seemed particularly deserted and silent at this time. The passage of "young" beauties saves a lot of trouble.

Ever since she was awakened by Ipeya from the ruins of the city underground, Fudilokaya has mostly appeared in front of people as an old mother-in-law, in her own words, her state of mind has long since aged and tired, but now that Fudilokaya is acting with this young, beautiful appearance, does it mean that her mentality has changed again?

After thousands of years of vicissitudes of life, what kind of things did Fudirokaya not experience, what kind of people she had not encountered, and how could Prince Harun's little scheming escape her eyes? Therefore, Fudilokaya used her best magic to leave that old phantom in the backyard of the palace, in order to confuse Prince Harun, who was hiding in the shadows.

However, she was not alone in her deception, Prince Harun was also deceived by her own contract knights.

The golden dragon that flew over Alexandria, causing a wave of exclamation from its subjects, was in fact nothing more than a magical illusion, like the old woman and the unconscious boy in the palace backyard. The illusion created by Vederokaya is so realistic that even as a contractor who shares the same power with her, Ipeia would not have been able to detect it if she did not activate the "power of the dragon".

Instead of using magic to control Ray's transformation into a golden dragon as Ipeya instructed, Vederokaya was at Impeya's mercy, because Vederokaya knew Ray's current condition very well. Since being forcibly captured in the Antigorin Sea, Ray has been manipulated by drugs and magic, causing a great burden on his body and mind, the last time Fudilokaya used mind control magic to make Ray forcibly turn into a dragon, it has caused extremely serious damage to Ray's body and mind, and now Thunder has been angry, seven tuberculosis and eight injuries, if the second forced dragon in such a short period of time, it will inevitably cause irreparable permanent damage to Thunder, and ruin the life of this innocent human teenager who was involved in it.

Although a small human being, to Fudirokaya, who has a long life, is actually no different from an ant. But after being influenced by the philosophies of the Far East called "Buddha", Fudilokaya was just as Ipeia said: she changed.

Over the past few thousand years, under the heavy burden of hatred, responsibility, obsession, and other countless burdens, Fudilokaya has endured humiliation and hardship, making her constantly lose what she originally had.

However, it is precisely because of this continuous loss that she has gained, or preserved, one of the most precious things: conscience.

It was precisely because of this last conscience that she betrayed her contract knight for the first time in three thousand years after signing the contract.

Fudilokaya stopped in front of a small bungalow, and she pushed it open, and a musty smell came out. In a simple but tidy house, a comatose human teenager lies on a small bed.

"That's all I can do for you, and the rest is up to you. Fudilokaya came to the real Ray and said to the patient, who had not regained his hearing at all.

Then she shoved something into Ray's palm and helped him clench his fists.
