Chapter 229: Raging Dragon Heart
Rogge, who learned the news, was taken aback, and after asking Lilith about the situation, asked Lilith to fly out of the cave with him and fly in the direction of Dragon Cliff.
When they flew to the top of the dragon cliff to judge the dragon hunters, they saw the Golden Dragon King and a group of golden dragons surrounding Grace in the middle, the Golden Dragon King looked down at Grace with a fierce light, and the dragon-blooded girl lowered her head and clasped her hands, looking very nervous.
Rogge hurriedly let Lilith fall down in front of Grace, after restoring his figure, he stepped forward to protect Grace, as soon as the girl saw him, she immediately grabbed his hand, her face was uneasy, Rogge nodded slightly to show comfort, and turned back to ask the Golden Dragon King: "Your Majesty, why did you arrest Miss Grace here, what happened?"
"Mr. Rogge, I know you're going to find it. The Golden Dragon King said in a majestic tone, turning back to the golden dragon beside him, and the golden dragon threw a roll of elephant skin held in the dragon's claws at Rog's feet.
Rogge glanced at the Golden Dragon King in surprise, squatted down and spread out the elephant skin, only to see that it was written in the elven script common to all beasts in the forest:
"In your valley, there is a human who has stolen the power of the dragons, she can freely change between humans and dragons, this is the power stolen by her father with despicable murder, that red-haired human girl, will spread the power of the dragons to the human realm, this is the beginning of the destruction of the dragons......"
After reading everything written on the elephant skin, Rogge's first thought was that it must be the work of the high priest, but then he became suspicious, because there were no elephants in the Sun and Moon Forest, and it was impossible for the priesthood to hunt an elephant to get the elephant skin, and most importantly, if Goethe wanted to do this, he would not need to work so hard at all.
"Who the hell is doing the trick?" Rogge stared at the elephant skin in front of him, his mind spinning rapidly, and suddenly heard the Golden Dragon King speak: "Mr. Rogge, I believe you have read the text above, do you have anything to say about it?"
"Your Majesty," said Rogge, standing up and pressing Grace's shoulder, "this is a complete falsehood, someone must be trying to stir up civil unrest, I think maybe William's people did it!"
"But Miss Grace has already admitted her identity as a dragonman!" the Golden Dragon King gave a stern gaze to Grace's body, and the girl looked at Rog timidly and nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, even so, she will not pose any threat to the dragon clan!"
Rog stepped forward and pleaded loudly to the Golden Dragon King, "Grace's father was indeed a dragon hunter, he was burned by dragon blood while hunting dragons, which caused a serious disability and had to change careers, and these are all things that happened before Grace was born, and she has nothing to do with herself!"
"But she still inherited her ability to transform into a dragon from his father, who murdered and stole the dragon's power, which is enough to sentence her to death under human law!" the Golden Dragon King retorted angrily.
"But Your Majesty," Rogge continued to defend persistently, "Grace's father, mother, and even his grandfather all died because of Grace's transformation into a dragon, and they all died under the fire that Grace spit out after turning into a dragon.
Hearing Rogge mention his dead parents and grandfather, Grace couldn't help but sob, Lilith hurriedly stepped forward to hug her leg and comforted her softly, Rogge looked back at her apologetically, and continued to say to the Golden Dragon King: "Even according to the laws of mankind, one life is enough for one life, not to mention that her family has paid for three lives!"
"Even if what you say is reasonable," the Golden Dragon King pondered for a long time, nodded lightly and said, "However, I still can't let her leave Dragon Valley, she must stay here forever until she dies." ”
"Why?" asked Rogge, his eyes wide in surprise.
"Because she has the blood of a dragon flowing in her body, if she leaves the Dragon Valley and returns to the human kingdom and marries a human male, the children she gives birth to will still inherit this power, and the life span of the dragon man is very long, and the blood of the dragon man will spread in the human kingdom, which will be the beginning of the destruction of the human race and the dragon race!"
"No, Your Majesty, it's impossible!" Rogge glanced back at the sobbing Grace and said loudly, "The Dragonmen used to appear in the human realm on a large scale two hundred years ago when humans first started hunting dragons, and most of them had the same experience as Grace!"
"But two hundred years have passed, and the human race has not been replaced by the dragon race, and the dragon race has not been threatened in any way, but the dragon race has disappeared!" Rogge looked up at the Golden Dragon King and asked loudly, "Do you know why? Because the dragon blood burning in the dragon people's bodies makes it impossible for them to reproduce in a human way!"
"If you can't reproduce in a human way, isn't there any other way?" the Golden Dragon King asked after a long silence.
"There is one, in the ......way of a dragon," Rogge nodded with a stern expression, "but that requires them to find another dragon of the opposite sex with themselves in the vast sea of people, and the woman must maintain the form of a dragon from pregnancy to childbirth for a year......"
Speaking of this, Rogge looked back at Grace with tears streaming down his face, and said in a heavy tone: "But Your Majesty, they are not real dragons, they will not be accepted by the dragon clan, they will not be able to get safe shelter in the dragon valley, they will become the target of the dragon hunters, and eventually die a tragic death, and the child will not be born, this is the reason why the dragon clan disappeared!"
A solemn atmosphere spread above the dragon cliff, the Golden Dragon King lowered his head in contemplation, Grace sobbed in a low voice full of sorrow, Lilith looked at her with a sad face, and then looked at Rogge, Rogge turned around and hugged Grace in his arms, and sighed with pity.
He would not say all this in front of Grace if he could, for he knew that every word he said would be like a knife to the poor girl's heart.
"Mr. Rogge," after a long silence, the Golden Dragon King finally spoke, and said in a slow tone, "I can't be sure if what you're saying is true, but I'm willing to believe you, but if you want to get her out of here, I have one condition. ”
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Rogge hugged Grace with one hand and looked back at the Golden Dragon King with a resolute gaze.
"I want your teacher Augustine to come here in person, and he will personally promise me that this girl will stay with him forever and not leave the Sun and Moon Forest for half a step, this is my last request!" said the Golden Dragon King in a firm tone.
"I think it can be done, Grace can't return to the human realm, that will only make her hunted by the Human Saints and the Dragon Hunters. Rogge agreed without hesitation.
After the Golden Dragon King nodded in agreement, he looked back at Grace with relief, the girl's face was not happy, although she was pardoned, but her desire to follow Rog and his friends was completely shattered, and the thought of possible separation from them, Grace's heart was like a knife.
Despite this, she did not object, because at least she was still alive, at least she was not imprisoned in this dragon cliff cave where only dragons lived, she silently accepted all this, although her heart was full of infinite sorrow, she still followed Rogge's advice and stepped forward to thank the Golden Dragon King.
Just as she walked a few steps in front of the Golden Dragon King, a cold laugh suddenly sounded in the sky on the side of Darcy Sea, and everyone looked back at the same time, only to see a man wrapped in black robes floating in the air, holding a magic book with black and red letters in his hand.
"It's really touching, Miss Grace's life is really bitter, such a miserable woman, she can't be completely forgiven, this world is really abominable!" William, the king of dark wizards, shook his head and sneered.
"I knew it had to be you!" Rogge shouted through gritted teeth pointing at William.
"Well, lone wolf, don't worry, I haven't started messing with ghosts yet!Why don't you hand over the holy weapon now, so I won't have to bother!" William looked down at the dragons on the dragon cliff with a mocking expression, as if they were not worth mentioning in front of him.
"Damn the Dark Wizard, dare to defy my dragon clan and kill him for me!" the Golden Dragon King ordered in a furious voice, and the surrounding golden dragons all rose into the air and pounced on William, and just as they opened their mouths to spew fiery dragon flames at William, a Void Hunter in a black cloak suddenly flashed beside Grace.
A red dragon-killing arrow shot Grace's shoulder with lightning speed, and with the girl's scream, the Void Hunter disappeared into a black mist, and Rog, who heard the shout, looked back sharply, Grace fell to her knees in pain, let out a terrible long roar, and instantly turned into a giant dragon.
Grace, who turned into a dragon, burst out of her eyes with a fierce red light, and pounced on the golden dragon king who was close at hand, the golden dragon king's attention was all on William's body, and he didn't pay attention to Grace's attack at all, and the green dragon that Grace turned into bit his fragile throat, and the dragon's blood instantly sprayed on the ground like a torrential rain.
"No, Grace, stop!" Rog rushed to Grace in shock, he jumped on Grace's dragon back, and shouted Grace's name, but the frantic green dragon ignored his cry and frantically tore at the neck of the Golden Dragon King.
At this time, William, who was besieged by the golden dragon in the sky, suddenly disappeared, and the golden dragons heard the screams of the golden dragon king, and turned around to pounce on Grace together, and the crazy green dragon dropped the dying golden dragon king, turned around and roared and pounced on the golden dragon, the golden dragons couldn't resist the green dragon's frenzied attack, and scattered in panic to dodge.
The furious green dragon rushed down the dragon cliff with Rog on his shoulder, opening its mouth to spew flames at everything that could be seen below, attacking all the dragons who tried to get close to it with its claws, although its body was covered with scars, nothing could stop its furious movements, everyone panicked to avoid its attacks, and no one dared to stop it.
"Grace, wake up, whatever William did to you, wake up, come back to me!" Rogge clung to the green dragon's wings with his hands, shouting hoarsely, but to no avail.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and a silver bullet struck the dragon's body, and the green dragon wailed, and its angry eyes turned in the direction from which the sound came, aiming at Catherine, who had raised her gun and aimed, and opened her bloody mouth, and the deadly dragon flames poured down on her like a flood that burst the embankment.
