Chapter 53: Return to the Dragon God
"Father, no problem, I will definitely try my best to complete the task. Do you know where it is?"
The Beast Emperor smiled and said, "Child, you remember, it doesn't matter if you can't complete the mission, you must come back safely, the Orc Clan can't do without you, understand? According to the spies, this colorful glow appeared in a place called White Smoky Mountain near the imperial capital of the Dragon God Empire. β
"White Smoky Mountain?" is such a familiar name, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, wasn't that the place where I first retreated and cultivated, breaking through the third layer of Heavenly Demons and reaching the realm of the two-winged fallen angels? "Okay, don't worry, when is the right time for me to go. β
The Beast Emperor said solemnly: "As soon as possible." Do you need someone to work with you?"
I shook my head and said, "I'll just go by myself, Father, while I'm gone, you can take care of me at home, okay?"
The Beast Emperor smiled and nodded: "I know that the last time Thunder Tiger came to you to make trouble, but I want to give your father a face, so I can't get involved, you can rest assured to do something, you have me at home." Don't you need your two sworn brothers to come with you? β
I shook my head and said, "No need, they are all in retreat now, and I don't want to affect them." And their image is also not suitable for the task with me. "If you just go to the dragon god to play, it doesn't matter if you bring them there, but I have so many things to do, with the surname of gold and silver, maybe I will make some trouble, it is better to let them cultivate at home.
"Well, well, when are you going to go. β
I groaned for a moment and said, "Tomorrow morning, I'll leave early in the morning, now I'll go back and clean up, do you have any other instructions?"
The Beast Emperor nodded with satisfaction, and said: "There is only one, that is, you must pay attention to safety, give me a safe return, my orc's million-strong male division still depends on your command, before you leave, go to the Minister of Finance to withdraw the money you need, prepare more, sometimes, you can use money without using force, after all, the dragon god is the territory of others, everything is careful." Father is waiting for your good news. β
"Yes, Father, then I will retire first. β
"Well, you don't have to come over when you leave tomorrow, ah, yes, this is for you. The Beast Emperor picked up a small piece of brocade from the case and handed it to me.
I took it and asked in surprise, "What is this?" I can't take it. β
The Beast Emperor said: "You, the commander-in-chief, don't you even want your own seal?" β
I opened the brocade, and inside was a seal carved from jade, with a cute little lion engraved on it, and four words underneath - the commander-in-chief seal, the whole seal was integrated, obviously carved out of a whole piece of jade, and there seemed to be a faint white light slowly circulating on the seal. Since it was my own thing, I didn't push it back, put it in my arms, and said, "Erchen retreated." β
The Beast Emperor said: "When necessary, as long as you show the seal, my orc army can be at your disposal." β
Back at the palace, I went straight to my mother, who was practicing magic with Bai Jian.
"Mom, I'm back. β
Mother stopped practicing and asked, "What is the Beast Emperor looking for you?"
"Mom, I may not be able to serve by your side for a while, and this time I'm going to the Dragon God Empire to complete a mission. I'm afraid it will take a little longer. β
Mother frowned and said, "Are you going to go to the dragon god, what are you going to do?"
I smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will never do anything to harm the Dragon God Empire." I went this time just because something strange appeared in the territory of the dragon god, and the Beast Emperor asked me to find out, who let me have a human face. Moreover, I also have some things to solve, Mom, you cultivate at home, and when I come back, I will try to ask the Beast Emperor to leave. Okay?"
Mother was obviously relieved to hear that I didn't go to the dragon god to destroy, after all, that was her hometown, "Are you going alone?"
I nodded and said, "The eldest brother and the second brother are all in retreat, I don't want to quarrel with them, and it's not convenient for them to go, even if they want to disguise, they can't get up, it's not as good as me going alone." Don't worry, I'll be careful. β
Mother nodded and said, "How long will you be going?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, the destination of this trip is not close, and the situation over there is not very clear, I'm afraid it will take a long time, Mom, you must take care of your body when I am away, I have already told the Beast Emperor that he will send more people to protect the palace." β
Mother advised: "You can go with confidence, you don't have to worry about it at home, go early and return early, and you must pay attention to safety." β
I promised my mother while looking at the white sword next to me, because I learned fighting spirit and magic with my mother, her complexion looked much better than before, my little face was flushed, I bowed to her and said, "Sister Jian'er, I will rely on you to take care of my mother during my absence." If the eldest brother comes to their senses, let them wait for me at home and say that I will go on a mission. β
Bai Jian nodded and said lightly, "I know." I'll take care of my mother. β
I forced a smile and said, "Thank you." He turned to his mother and said, "Mom, then I'll go back and pack my things first, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning." β
The mother was surprised: "It's so urgent, okay, let Jian'er help you clean up, you boys are always weak-hearted, and you should remember to forget this and that after you leave." β
I glanced at Bai Jian, shook my head and said, "Don't bother, I'll do it myself, I don't bring anything with me every time I go out, just take two pieces of clothes." β
The mother pretended to be angry and said: "Xiang'er, is it disobedient, listen to me, Jian'er, you go and help him clean up, don't miss anything, mom will make you something delicious, just give Xiang'er a meal." β
Mother has already said this, and I can't refute it anymore, and I don't have any anger when I see Bai Jian, so I nodded and agreed.
Bai Jian followed me into my room, I have always been a raunchy person, because I have been cultivating, it is forbidden for servants to disturb me, so the room is very chaotic, I said embarrassedly: "You sit, I'll just clean up some things by myself." "I gathered the messy clothes on the floor, took a few random changes of clothes from the closet, and wrapped them in a cloth briefly.
Bai Jian walked over and said in a low voice, "I'll help you." β
I shook my head and said, "No, actually, it doesn't matter if I don't take anything, it's wordy to bring more things." β
Bai Jian helped me fold my clothes and said casually, "Is it dangerous for you to go out this time?"
I laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "When am I not dangerous to go out?" I'm used to it, it doesn't matter, but don't tell my mother, I don't want her to worry." β
"Well, safety is more important, be careful. What are you going to do with what you said last time?"
I glanced at her, she didn't have a trace of expression on her side face, sighed, and I said, "I've figured it out, I'll go find the girl I hurt, although I don't know what she thinks now, but I'll do my best to do what I should do." β
Bai Jian stopped what he was doing, looked at me and said, "Then what about the person you like." β
I said disheartenedly: "What else can I do, I can only ask for their forgiveness, if they don't forgive me, I can only leave, with their conditions, I will definitely find a better home than me." Who made me do wrong, I don't want them to forgive me now, it's unacceptable to anyone. β
A trace of pity flashed in Bai Jian's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Actually, with your current achievements, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines. β
I shook my head and said, "Originally, I just wanted to have a lover, but sometimes this kind of thing is not something I can control, and I'm ashamed to say that the person I like is a pair of sisters, and I still don't know how they are going to accept me." I'm already a little bit uninterested in these things now, why emotional things are so hard for me. "Speaking of this, I felt a slump all over my body, as if I had lost all my strength. Sitting on a chair, breathing a little short.
Bai Jian said: "You still have to face it, escape is not a way, maybe, things are not as bad as you think." β
I smiled bitterly and said, "I can't think about the benefits at all, who wants their man to be a beast inferior to something, and I feel that I belong to the category of beasts now, otherwise I wouldn't do that kind of thing." I don't ask for their forgiveness, I just hope that they will be better off in the future. I'm satisfied. There's nothing more to get here, you go and help your mother, she's not too young, and it's going to be a bit difficult to cook alone. I want to be alone for a while. β
Bai Jian knotted the package and said, "Then I'll go out first." β
I nodded, watched Bai Jian walk out, and felt inexplicably bored in my heart, I really want to find a place to vent my inner pain now, but I don't know how to vent, and I feel like I can't breathe. I really love Zixue and Ziyan, but I also understand that they will never forgive me so easily.
............
Early in the morning, I carried my baggage and quietly went on the road alone, I didn't alarm anyone when I left, I didn't want my mother to experience the pain of parting again, that was a scene I didn't want to see. Without the Black Dragon, I could only walk alone, and I knew very well that the Beast Emperor did not have much hope for my actions this time, after all, it was the territory of the Dragon God Empire. I didn't even see this as a task, for me, it was just an opportunity to relax. Quietly, I left, with a single heart exhausted.
I decided to go to Zi Yan and Zi Xue first to make it clear, and then go to find the so-called colorful glow, otherwise, I wouldn't be in the mood to do anyone at all. Out of the imperial capital, I walked in the direction of the dragon god, because my human face is very famous among the orcs, so I once again brought a hat. On both sides of the official road, there are all kinds of green plants, and it looks like a good harvest, and I feel a little more comfortable when I see this, after all, this is my idea.
Unlike the last time I went to the dragon god, I didn't even meet a group of bandits on this road, all the orcs seem to have changed their ways, it seems that the strength of the beast emperor's order is really great, I believe that the orc country without bandits will definitely prosper.
The fortress of Stru is like an entrenched dragon lying there quietly, there is no smoke of gunpowder in front of the fortress, replaced by silence, there is no grass on the ground for more than ten kilometers in front of the fortress, it is estimated that it is related to the perennial war, and it is back again, how do I enter the fortress, maybe Riva is here to accompany his father to guard the fortress, his beloved Zi Yan has become my sweetheart, I can't reveal my identity casually, after all, I am still a student of Tiandu Academy in Dragon God, although my student status may have been revokedγ
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I decided to sneak into the city of Stroul, and after a long wait, night finally fell, I sat cross-legged on the ground, urged the dark magic in my body, used my six senses to the limit, listened to the movements around me, and when I was sure that there were no living creatures, I stood up.
I took off the package and took off my shirt and stuffed it in, the way I stole in was simple, I flew in with the wings of a fallen angel, although I could already fly with wind magic, but it was too mana-intensive, and I couldn't guarantee that my energy would support me enough to fly into safety. Moreover, there are dragon knights patrolling the sky above the Stroll Fortress, and if you want to avoid them, you must have a speed that exceeds them, which is something that wind magic can't do, so I chose to transform, which is also my first transformation attempt after cultivating to the seventh layer.
I concentrated and chanted, "Darkness condenses the soul, the fallen can be free, awaken, the endless magic that sleeps in my blood." After the incantation was recited, I felt the blood in my whole body boiling rapidly, a little coldness came from the center of my eyebrows, and my brain exploded, and everything around me seemed to be different, countless dark elements that seemed to be visible frantically gathered towards me, and entered my body through the pores, they continued to merge into my fast-running dark magic, and a new feeling came to me. The forehead was suddenly cold, I subconsciously tilted my head back, the cold feeling went straight from head to foot, my hair began to change color, the dark magic in my body due to excessive absorption and condensation, now formed a liquid in my body, countless winding rivers flowed in my meridians. Suddenly, there was a strong tearing sensation from the back, and the bones of the whole body crackled, which was much more painful than the first time he transformed into a two-winged fallen angel. As if torn apart by the powerful dark magic, a huge purple six-pointed star quietly appeared at my feet, and I couldn't help but let out a long howl, "Ahh The thick black mist enveloped me and gradually merged into my body, and it was a very strange feeling, as if I had become a different person, an incomparably powerful demon god.
Eventually, everything calmed down, the black mist disappeared, and my bronzed skin became unusually fair, and a faint halo continued to flow under the skin, and if it weren't for the black hair, eyes, and wings, maybe I would have thought that I had become a jade statue carved from a beautiful jade. I know that I have succeeded in becoming a four-winged fallen angel. The world became clear at this moment, and I could easily see and hear far away.
............
In the Shuai Mansion of the Stroul Fortress, the Rivo Dragoon, who was looking at the map, was startled, and a chill instantly spread throughout his body, and he said to himself vigilantly: "What a strong dark aura, can't the demons come to sneak attack." Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, "Someone." β
"Marshal, what do you command. β
"Immediately gather all the dragon knights to patrol the city and see if there is anything out of the ordinary. β
"Yes, Marshal. β
The guards retreated, and Rivo sighed and said, "I hope I'm too sensitive, I've just been calm for a few days, and I don't want to fight anymore." β
After a while, a clear voice sounded, "Father, what's going on, you have to gather everyone." The handsome Riva walked in in silver armor.
Rivo looked at his angry son, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "I suddenly felt a strong dark aura just now, so let you go out on patrol to see if there is anything abnormal." β
Riva smiled: "Father, are you too cautious, the demons have just finished fighting with the orcs for a few days, where is the spare strength to attack us." β
Rivo said: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, you will go if you are told to go, where is so much nonsense, you have to learn more, as a commander, strategy and tactics are important, but prudence and caution are also indispensable important qualities, understand?"
Riva put away his smile and replied, "Yes, Father." I'll go right away. β
"Well, be careful, if anything is unusual, report it to the fortress immediately. β
"Got it. β
............
After the transformation, my six senses have been greatly improved, and the slightest trace will appear within a hundred meters around me, and whenever I move, there will be a stream of dark energy flowing with it, and the liquid dark magic in my body is actively mobilized with my every movement. I pulled the new wings, and the beautiful black feathers on them were larger and more shiny than before, and they flicked lightly and made a clanging sound. With a satisfied smile on my face, I raised my hand and took it in, grabbed the ink and the burden in my hand, and with a movement of my mind, my body had already floated into the air. With my current strength, even if Rivo comes in person, he may not be my opponent without the help of the dragon.
I flapped my wings lightly, and my body soared into the air, at this moment, I found dozens of lights and shadows rushing out of the fortress of Stro, and when I looked at it, it was actually dozens of dragon knights riding dragons of various colors.
The group of dragon knights stopped in the air for a moment, scattered in an instant, and slowly moved outside the fortress, I was shocked, although there was a cover of night, but they searched like this, I would inevitably not be discovered, not to mention, the dragon is very sensitive to dark aura. It's really unlucky, can't I rush over? Forget it, although I'm not afraid of them in the four wings, but after all, the family is powerful, so it's better not to look for trouble. Thinking of this, I drifted backwards, moving with their movements, always keeping a distance from which they could not detect me, and I wanted to see how long their search would last. I'm not worried about my lack of dark magic at all, I constantly ingest more dark elements than I consume, which can fully support me to fly for a long time, which is good, I don't have to walk in the future, so flying is much faster than running on a black dragon.
The dragon knight's patrol lasted for an hour, covering the first thirty miles of the fortress, which was really careful, they wouldn't do this every day, otherwise, wouldn't it be very tiring.
Looking at the retreating dragon knights, I quietly followed, until they all entered the fortress, I gradually approached, I tried to fly higher, although the air in the air was thin and cold, but it had little effect on me, I carefully wrapped my body with black mist, and slowly drifted over, I didn't dare to enter the city, but directly crossed the fortress of Stro, the night was as cold as water, so that my spirit was a little excited, by the night, I urged my body, and flew in the direction of the dragon god emperor, and there was a forest under my feetI felt that I was in a state of strength that I had never felt before, and I knew that I was a big step closer to the goal of the peerless powerhouse, but this great power came from the despicable annihilation.
In this way, I rested during the day and flew at night, and in only five days, I arrived in the imperial capital, and the closer I got to here, the heavier my heart became, because I was about to face the people I least wanted to face, my beloved sisters of the Zi family.
Walking into the imperial capital, everything is still the same, the streets are still so bustling, and the prosperity of the dragon god is always incomparable to the demons and orcs, which I have to admit, but I am not in the mood to appreciate these at all now.
I found a hotel and stayed in it first, I quietly locked myself in my room, thinking about what I said to Zixue and Ziyan, three days passed like this, but I still didn't think of a perfect way, this kind of thing, no matter how you explain it, it is futile. Forget it, as soon as I gritted my teeth, I decided to visit the Duke's Palace at night tonight, and the more I delayed it, the weaker my determination to confess would be, my beloved, what will you do to me.
It was night again, the moon in the sky was half cloudy and half sunny, I put on a night suit, tied Mo Ming on my back, quietly left the hotel, and came to the Duke's Mansion by car, I felt my heart beat constantly accelerating, my beloved and I am now only separated by a wall.
I sped up the dark magic to keep myself in tip-top shape, and with my feet on the ground, I climbed the courtyard walls, the Duke's palace still heavily defended, but it didn't work for me. I moved cautiously and came to Zi Yan's room first. Seeing the elegant furnishings in front of the door, I felt a strong tenderness in my heart.
Zi Yan's room was dark, she wouldn't have gone to bed so early, I looked around and saw that there was no one around, and gently floated into the yard, without making a sound, and walked to Zi Yan's door, I was surprised to find that her door was locked, even if she was not in the room, the door should not be locked, this is her own home, and it is not necessary to lock the door. With trepidation, I went around to Zixue's residence not far from here, and the result was the same, the door was locked. Shouldn't they, duke, where is the reason to move casually. Moreover, there were so many guards in the palace that only the Duke had such defensive measures.
What the hell are the sisters doing? Now I am no longer afraid to see them, but more of a longing for them. A strong longing drove me to the duke's house, which was so heavily guarded that I could not fall into the courtyard, but could only crouch quietly on the roof.
I carefully uncovered a glazed tile, and a light suddenly peeked through the gap in the tile, and I peeked to see the Duke sitting there drinking tea freely, and the Duchess sitting next to him.
I gathered my ears and listened to the Duchess say, "Sir, you seem to be in a good mood today." β
The duke nodded and said, "Yes, of course my mood is good in the recent life of the sea, our spies reported that there was indeed a fight between the demon and beast clans, and both sides had a lot of losses, now, we can have more peace, in my opinion, there will be no major war in 5 years, of course I am happy." Even His Majesty has been in a good mood lately. β
The Duchess obviously didn't have any interest in these, and didn't ask why she didn't take the opportunity to attack the demon and beast clans, but said: "That's good, I'm most afraid of war, last time, our eldest daughter scared me to death when she went to war, fortunately, she came back safely, I'll treat my daughter like this, if something happens to them, I ...... too."
The Duke frowned and said, "Don't say such unlucky words. β
The Duchess hurriedly shut up, it seemed that she still had a lot of respect for her husband, and I looked at the Duke carefully, and I had a strange feeling in my heart. What would this Lin Feng, who made his mother miss, look like when he was young.
"Master, can you promise me not to let my daughters go to war in the future, I'm really afraid. β
The duke was obviously a little impatient, and nodded, "Got it." β
The Duchess said: "Zi Yan is 20 this year, and Zi Xue is almost 18, should you find them a mother-in-law, if the girl is too old, it will be difficult to marry." β
The duke glanced at the duchess and said, "Will my daughter not be able to marry?" Not to mention our illustrious family background, their beauty alone has already been the object of pursuit by the young nobles of the entire capital, but they themselves don't want to, what is there to worry about. Hearing him say this, I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Zixue and the others have really been waiting for me.
The Duchess sighed: "Since the last time Zi Yan came back and said that Lei Xiang's whereabouts are unknown, Zi Xue has been distracted, I am afraid that she will not accept others in the future, and Zi Yan makes me even more worried, Riva's child is obviously very good, but she just doesn't look down on others, especially during the time she came back from the front line, Riva has looked for her twice, and every time she stubbornly goes back, I really don't know what she wants to find." β
The duke said: "Lei Xiang's kid is really good, no wonder Zixue is like this, it's a pity if he dies on the battlefield like this, but according to my observation, that kid didn't die young, why has there been no news for so long, the people I sent to look for him haven't found him, is he really just finished? Ah Xue's heart is too heavy, I have seen her there alone several times. The most strange thing for me is that her sister sometimes goes in a daze with her, originally I didn't want them to go out this time, but considering letting Zixue relax, I agreed to their request. β
The Duchess complained a little: "You have made a hasty decision on this matter, as the saying goes, there is no good hand in fighting, what if they are injured." β
The duke said slightly angrily: "They are no longer children, they will take care of themselves, not to mention that I also asked their vice president, what danger can there be, it is really a woman's opinion." β
It turns out that Zixue and the others are out, please Vice Dean? So what are you going to do with the people of the academy?
The Duke really knew my intentions, and then said: "Isn't it just going to Xilun City to participate in the friendship exchange of the four major academies? What is the danger, Zi Xue is only in charge of treatment, although Zi Yan participates in the exchange, our good daughter's current light magic is very powerful, not to mention, she is so beautiful, will anyone be willing to hurt her? Don't worry blindly, it's not too early, let's rest." With that, he put down the tea bowl and went to the inner room.
The Duchess sighed, got up and followed.
They went to participate in the exchange between the colleges, and it turned out that Sister Zhuang seemed to have said that there was a competition between the four major colleges every time. Since they went, I would also go, and I needed to inquire about where the city of Silun was. Knowing the whereabouts of Zi Yan and them, I suddenly relaxed, and with an unintentional movement of my right foot, the tile surface suddenly made a soft cluck. I was startled and hurriedly bent down and did not dare to move.
After a while, no one seemed to notice the slight noise, and I was relieved, and just as I was about to leave, a breeze blew, and there was one more person in front of me.
It turned out that the duke had just been about to go back to bed when he heard a movement on the roof, and he was very confident in his kung fu, so he quietly came out, lifted his breath to the room, and caught me squarely.
Since I was not masked, I was immediately recognized by him, and the duke said in surprise: "It's you?"
I looked at him embarrassedly and nodded, "It's me, hello Duke." β
The guards below had already noticed the situation, and one of the guards shouted, "My lord, what's the matter?" β
The duke whispered, "It's okay, go back to your posts." After sending away his subordinates, he frowned and said, "Where have you been during this time, what are you doing sneaking in my mansion so late?"
My heart moved, and I said, "I'm here to find you, this is not the place to talk, you see......"
The duke, believing that his kung fu was stronger than me, looked me up and down, nodded and said, "You come with me."
I followed him out of the room, and he took me back to the study, closed the door with his backhand, lit the two oil lamps, adjusted the brightness softly, turned his back to me, and said, "Say it." β
I said calmly, "Lord Duke, I just came back from the orc country. β
The duke turned around abruptly and said in surprise, "What are you doing over there?"
