Chapter 57: The Sacrifice
What I saw in my dreams that day was not the past, but the future.
The "future" of a few months ago is what is happening now.
"How come?" Julian felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. If the fate of the "future" has already been written, then no matter how much effort is made now, what can be changed.
At the same time, another more terrible question arose in Julian's mind: if "Weiwei" had really been made up a long time ago, then who would be the person who wrote the future, or other beings?
Just as Julian was in a daze, his head suddenly felt like it had been hit by an electric current.
"Ahh
Julian let out a strange cry and crouched down with his head in his hands. This feeling is not unfamiliar, it was the same feeling a few months ago when Julian was subjected to an inexplicable mental attack while in the underground city of Alexandria. Immediately afterward, some strange visions appeared in Julian's head, and unlike the last time, this time Julian did not fall into a deep sleep for three days and three nights when he received these hallucinations, he saw them in a waking state, and there was a clear distinction between reality and illusion.
"In the broken history of Olopa, there are not only the seven dragon clans that we are familiar with, but also the eighth dragon clan, which is the 'purple dragon clan' that has been lost. β
"Zilong?"
"Yes. The concubine thought that if we humans could still see it now, we would call them that. In fact, this dragon family has an official name of its own: the fairy dragon. β
"You've said that before. Can you tell me something I don't know?"
"You must not be so rude to Her Highness the Princess!" said Milalie, shouting behind Prince Harlan's back.
Not only Milarie, but even Sasha was angered by Prince Harlan's contemptuous attitude towards Ipeya, and although her eyes were not as angry as Milarie, they hid a chilling viciousness. However, Nanokai, who is usually the most nervous about Ipeya, did not make much waves.
Prince Harlan didn't turn or respond to Milalie's roar, but it didn't mean that he didn't care, the hand that grabbed the shaft of the arrow quietly increased his grip, as long as he suddenly stabbed back, Milalie couldn't escape at this distance.
Prince Harun's small action was in the eyes of Ipeia, but such a conflict was not in her plan. Ipeia smiled and shook her head, although she didn't know if the target of her action was Prince Harlan or Milalie, or both, but this exhortation still worked, and Milalie walked away by herself with a "snort", and Prince Harun slowly relaxed his hand.
At this moment, Prince Harun and Ipeia were testing each other at the same time.
Purple beams of light shot up from the ground, and bloomed into a huge purple firework at a height higher than the golden dragons.
The fairy dragon showed its graceful posture in the fireworks, and the huge butterfly wings released colorful glowing scales as they waved, and the surrounding sky was coated with a brilliant rainbow halo.
When the golden dragon group saw the appearance of the fairy dragon, they all froze slightly. These golden dragons didn't expect that the fairy dragon who was hiding would show up so easily.
But since this public enemy has thrown himself into the net, there is no point in continuing to destroy human cities. The golden dragons temporarily abandoned the siege of Alexandria, and with a judgmental rage, they besieged the fairy dragon above.
"Your Royal Highness Prince Harun, as you have seen before, the Fairy Dragon Clan has been wiped out in the ancient Dragon Wars. But the Empress of the Fairy Dragons, also known as Vedirokaya, survived and has survived to this day. β
"That's not right. The dragon war you just mentioned should have happened 8,000 years ago. However, dragons are known to have a lifespan of only 5,000 years. β
"That's because the power of hatred is so powerful that it breaks the limit of lifespan. It is in the midst of this hatred that Fudilokaya has endured loneliness for more than 8,000 years, constantly evading the Golden Dragon and other dragons, while preparing her revenge plan. β
"Alone and without a body, I dare to take revenge on the leafy Golden Dragon Clan, this plan must be full of twists and turns, and it is very exciting. Prince Harlan quipped.
"It's true, Fudilokaya alone can't do anything, but with human help, it's different. β
"So, we need to make a contract with a human monarch like you?"
"Nope. Ipeiya shook her head and said with a smile, "Signing a dragon guard contract with a concubine is just an incidental product. What Vederokaya needs is another kind of human 'help'. β
The golden dragon group who killed the red eyes didn't need to communicate with the other party at all, and launched a ruthless encirclement and culling at the beginning.
Regardless of whether she was the Dragon Empress or not, or how long she had lived, the Fairy Dragon could not change her huge flaws in strength and body that were far inferior to other dragons. In the midst of the hunt in the air, like a sheep falling into a pack of wolves, rushing left and right to avoid the pursuit of the golden dragons, his wings and body were torn and bruised, and blood was spilled in the air. Don't say a counterattack or revenge, being torn to pieces is just a problem.
However, after the Golden Dragons shifted their target, the pressure on Alexandria suddenly lessened. The few who were still alive didn't have time to think about why the golden dragon suddenly stopped attacking, they only knew that this was the rarest chance to escape. The vast majority of the survivors who survived did so by seizing this rare gap to escape.
Just when the surviving humans on the ground fled in panic, the fairy dragon in the sky finally couldn't support it, and fell into the ruins of the main palace in the center of the city. The motionless fairy dragon lay between the ruins, and the red blood spilled all over the city.
But those golden dragons who had just brutally abused the fairy dragon did not intend to let her go like this, and the dragons hovered above the fairy dragon, collectively raised their dragon heads, and spewed golden dragon breath flames into the fairy dragon.
If you don't burn this hateful fairy dragon to the ground, you won't stop!
"Your Highness Harun, the underground city beneath our feet, remember. Another Alexandria. β
"I remember you saying that the city was buried in the ground by a tsunami caused by the Poseidon and then built on its original site to establish what is now Alexandria. Is this also a lie?"
"It is nothing to falsify the history of mankind. Yes, Alexandria was submerged by the tsunami, but it was not buried in the ground, and after the sea receded, Alexandria was still a habitable city. β
"So, that underground city is man-made?"
"It was a replica of the gourd painted by Fudilokaya in the original appearance of Alexandria on the ground. β
"I really didn't expect dragons to do such a huge and complex project. β
"The fairy dragons are the most human-like dragons, but even so, Fudirokaya is not allowed to openly transform Alexandria in public. The best way to do this is to build another one. β
At this point, the ground suddenly shook violently. The three FernΓ‘ndez sisters each screamed, subconsciously trying to support the stable objects around them, but compared to the three sisters' surprise, Empress Ipeia was much calmer, she seemed to have expected the tremor.
"Earthquakes, no!" Prince Harun denied his judgment in the first place. Because if it were a simple earthquake, it would not have such a frequency, but that there was some kind of energy rushing from the ground to the surface.
"It seems that the underground city is working. "Empress Ipeia is full of anticipation.
The dragon breath that erupted from more than a dozen golden dragons together, the golden flames that could turn the fairy dragon into dust, suddenly disappeared the moment it came into contact with the fairy dragon.
"Phase Shift" - In addition to being proficient in mind control and illusion magic, the Fairy Dragons are also adept at various spatial manipulation abilities as compensation for their weakness over other Dragons. In other words, even if the fairy dragon can't beat the golden dragon clan in hand-to-hand combat, it is still no problem to escape, but he was beaten so badly just now, the only explanation is that the fairy dragon did it deliberately.
This was followed by a sharp shaking of the ground. Strange and huge magic rushed out from the ground, and all over Alexandria, where the blood of the fairy dragon had been spilled before, was like a pulse of life, enthusiastically responding to the huge magic that surged up from the ground. Then, with it, the dragon breath of the Golden Dragon Clan that disappeared into the "Phase Shift" rushed out.
Colored underground magic fused with golden flames of punishment, creating a stream of mana that connected all the places in the city that were stained with the blood of the fairy dragon, with the fairy dragon as the center, and then poured into the sky.
All the golden dragons who had abused the fairy dragon just now were stained with the blood of the fairy dragon, so all the golden dragons could not escape the fate of being connected by the mixed magic power.
The golden dragon in the sky made a loud sound of "Ang" and "Ang", which was not an angry roar, but a tragic wail. In just a few seconds, the position of the perpetrator and the victim is reversed 180 degrees......
On a hill on the western outskirts of Alexandria, the distance here is just right to see the whole picture.
The entire city turned into a huge circular magic circle. The outer corridor of the city is the outer circle of the magic array, and the main streets in the city form various inner circles, and hundreds of magic points are formed in the places stained with the blood of the fairy dragon, and the mixed colorful magic power brings the entire magic array closer. The fairy dragon located in the center of the giant magic array, the shackles formed by the powerful magic power on its body locked the golden dragon group that was still flying and domineering just now.
"Terrible soul-locking magic. The former empress of the Golden Dragon Clan couldn't help but sigh, "Introducing the Elder Sect into her trap step by step, under the restraint of the Soul Locking Magic Array, no matter how powerful the Golden Dragon is, it has no power to fight back, and can only scream and struggle, gradually losing its self-consciousness, and eventually becoming a slave of the Fairy Dragon." β
Shatarikis bowed his head and said nothing. He was not calm in front of Isabel, but the number one warrior of the Golden Dragon Clan was indeed frightened by the sight in front of him. In comparison, what the fairy dragon did to him 2,000 years ago was nothing more than a small fight.
Isabel seemed to hear Shatarikis's frustration, she smiled and said, "But this doesn't mean that the fairy dragon can do whatever she wants, and if it weren't for humans, she wouldn't be able to do it alone." It's just that I didn't expect that she would use such an extreme way. β
"Extreme way?"
After taking a deep breath, Isabel used her slender fingers to ruffle her hair, which was a little messy from the wind, and slowly spat out a terrifying word: "Sacrifice." β
The violent earth movement only lasted for a short time before it stopped, but the shock of the hidden truth was far from stopping.
"Sacrifice, you mean, all the people of Alexandria were sacrificed as living bodies?" Prince Harun felt a chill down his spine.
Not only Prince Harlan, but also the three FernΓ‘ndez sisters were shocked by this crazy plan. It's just that their absolute loyalty to Ipeia doesn't make them express this surprise in words.
"Even Fudilokaya would have been able to activate such a powerful amount of magic on her own. She needed an unusually large amount of energy to do so. In this world, the largest number of people are humans. Therefore, by sacrificing a large number of living people as sacrifices, you can get the energy that Fudilokaya needs. Empress Ipeya, in a chillingly calm tone, stated the role of her people.
"But what do you get? Is it worth sacrificing a powerful nation that is already in your hands for the hatred of a fallen dragon?"
"Controlling the Golden Dragon Clan is just the beginning, and before long, it will be the Silver Dragon Clan, the Black Dragon Clan, and the Green Dragon Clan...... Eventually, the seven dragons of Olopa will all submit to Vodilokaya. β
"But it's really ...... for us to dominate the Seven Dragons," said this, Prince Harlan paused, he glanced at the three Fernandez sisters standing next to him, these three women, although extremely loyal to Ipeya, were not members of the Truth Society, so Prince Harun decided not to say that name, "What help is it for our organization?"
In fact, the goal of Vodilokaya is the same as that of the organization. It's all about opening that door. β
"Which door?"
"Your Highness Harunn, why do you knowingly ask?"
Hearing Empress Ipeya say this, Prince Harun also smiled understandingly: "Indeed, that door must be opened, and there is nothing more important to the organization than this. But ......," said Prince Harun's tone suddenly lowered, "at the moment, the door of this dilapidated house does not seem to be very difficult. β
Prince Harlan suddenly spun over and shot an arrow behind him with lightning speed.
