At the same time, in the southern continent, which is very far away from the north, the situation here is becoming more and more complicated, although the new dragon court living in the south of the continent is getting stronger and stronger, no matter how much it is concealed, it will still leak the rumors, and in the eyes of the humans scattered in the wilderness, this nascent confrontation organization has surfaced little by little, and the nature has subtly changed in their minds.
A month ago, several Kadu city lords found that the convoy transporting supplies in the wilderness was attacked by the native tribes of the Southern Continent, and they didn't pay attention to this matter at first, they only felt that it was just the revenge of the sub-natives of the Southern Continent, and then they sent troops to suppress it at will, but when the army they organized was ambushed many times in the dense jungle and wide grassland, they vaguely realized that this attack on them was no longer the loose and fragmented sub-human natives in the past.
Many of the sub-tribes who attacked them were native races near their city, but the point was that these sub-tribes had gathered together for some reason, and had caused four attacks since January, each of which had caused heavy losses to the lord of Kado, but once they left the city and ran into the wilderness, they had to face the dilemma of not being able to find anyone and being attacked all the time.
Sometimes I don't know where in the soil, on the trees on the side of the road, and in the flowing rivers will drill out of those elusive subhuman races, the human race in the Western Continent is already small, and their population is far less than one thousandth of the original life here, only with the cannons and magic in their hands, this expelled the scattered subhuman races.
It was during this cycle of lost supplies and attacks that the embarrassed Kadu finally learned a new term from some sub-natives during a month-long search.
"New Dragon"
It was a new multi-Asian regime created and led by the queen of the dragon race, based in the extreme south of the continent far away from humans, and constantly absorbing other sub-races on the continent, calling on them to rely on the wilderness and jungle to surround the scattered cities of the western continent and resist the invasion of the southern continent by humans.
It has to be said that the New Dragon Court has a deep understanding of the human beings who come here, and the division of human sources in the wilderness is very precise, so they wisely chose their first opponent, that is, the weakest and most isolated religious country in the Southern Continent among the three countries in the Western Continent, Kadu.
Due to the ascetic culture and religious fanaticism of Kadu's own country, even after the baptism of Nari's decades-long pioneering trend, there are still only a few speculators who are willing to leave the western continent to open up new businesses here.
And because the distribution of cities in the southern continent is very similar to the political projection of the western continent, most of Kadu's cities are distributed in the southwest of the southern continent, and there is only the southernmost city of Schwali dozens of miles to the north, so the speculators of Kadu are the lucky ones who are the first to be attacked by the new dragon court against the invaders.
In the past month, they have been harassed by the guerrillas of the New Dragon Court, and of course the city lords of Swali in the distance also know the news, but they have only begun to organize a large-scale cleanup of the surrounding subhuman tribes to prevent the establishment of a similar New Dragon Court base area, they are wary of this nascent subhuman regime, but they have no intention of rushing to the aid of Kadu.
On the first day of the New Year in the Western Continent, in the center of the continent, two horses were galloping across the boundless wilderness, and the two people sitting on the horses were wearing heavy cloaks, making it impossible to distinguish their true identities.
"It should be around here, let's look for it here, right?"
The man who took the lead glanced ahead, looked at the mountain peak in front of him, reined in his horse, and spoke to the person behind him, speaking in a female voice that seemed to be burning with fire.
After making sure that there were no signs of other creatures around her, she gently removed the cloak from her head, revealing a pair of illusory crimson dragon horns and long supple red hair hidden under the cloak, a pair of turquoise dragon children invisibly staring at the undulating earth, she took a deep breath, glanced at the map in her arms, and said to the person behind her.
Yes, no one expected that in the hinterland of the Southern Continent, surrounded by many human cities, the dragon queen of the southernmost emerging regime, Rafael, would come here alone on two horses, just as she had conceived before, her target was the ancient Central Dragon Court located in the center of the continent.
"Rafael, this is human territory, let's be careful... Good? ”
Behind her, some quiet, soft female voices sounded, and another figure looked around, although there was no trace of other people's activities, but they were still a little cautious, not daring to take off the cloak, for fear that her identity would be discovered.
Rafael smiled and patted the steed under her to the side of the person behind her, and before she could explain, she suddenly reached out and took off the cloak from her head, revealing the same inhuman long blue supple hair and drooping ears in the cloak.
"The terrain here is not good, and the nearby resources have been almost taken since ancient times, or humans can't find them at all now... The Central Dragon Court was set up here as the political center of the ancient Dragon Court, and human beings came here to rob, so how could they have the leisure to come here? ”
"Although it is... But Rafael, are there really any dragon court ruins here, it seems that there are only mountains and jungles here. ”
Rafael smiled slightly, patted Jasmine on the shoulder, and then continued forward, without looking back,
"Is there a way for us to find out?"
Looking at Rafael farther and farther away, Jasmine opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to put the cloak on, but hesitated for a moment and still didn't do so, just followed Rafael on the same horse, and at the same time asked Lamystia in her heart,
"Lord Ramastia, is there really a ruins of the Dragon Court here?"
After waiting for a few seconds, a childish and lovely child's voice came to her ears,
"Well, the dragon court established by the ancient dragons is here, and there are many giant towers built by them in the past, which they called the [Palace Tower]. But you're not going to the Central Palace, where the dragons handle government affairs, it's been destroyed in the war... The direction you are going now is the dungeon built by the dragons for Femabah, and the map that the dragon girl took also leads to the dungeon. ”
Ramatia paused a little more as she spoke, and then changed her tone of teasing and continued,
"Although this stinky boy of Femabaha does not admit that the dragonman is to him what the angel is to the Lord, after all, the dragonman race is formed by his blood, and there is a blood connection, so no matter how much he dislikes it, he still lives in it and sleeps with a big grin."
"Ah, what will be left for Rafael in the palace where Lord Famabaha lives, he has been dead for so long, even if there are any treasures, it will not help Rafael now, right?"
Ramastia yawned, then said casually,
"Well, who said he was dead? He's still lying in the dungeon..."
"Huh?"
Jasmine, who was riding a horse, paused slightly, stopped in place for a moment, and then her face became a little frightened, and even the conversation with Ramastia in her heart stammered,
"Hey, wait... Wait a minute! Is Lord Femabaha still alive? That... Isn't that the last thing he likes when we break into his resting place?! He's a child of Lord Ramastia, and even his bloodline dragon can't enter his dungeon, so won't we have a problem going in like this? ”
"Hehe, don't say it's him, even if there is Yahweh and Yggtrasil in that palace, as long as I don't dare to do anything to you... Moreover, even if he wants to do something now, he is powerless. Yahweh and Yggtrasil have been taken away by death, and he is dying. I recommend you to come to the Southern Continent to a large extent to see him one last time, and by the way, to let you know some other secrets about this world... Anyway, just go, I'm here. ”
The more Ramastia's immature voice spoke, the more depressed it became, and during this period of time in the southern continent, Jasmine felt more and more that the god of life who lived with her day and night always felt some extra regret when she mentioned the three lives she had worked so hard to create, and she had an unmatched attention to this unique life, just like Xuan Shen looked at Jasmine.
"Hmm."
Jasmine pursed her lips, with Ramastia's assurance, she was no longer worried, so she rode her horse to follow Rafael in front, this month, I don't know why, it may be because their relationship is unexpectedly good, after experiencing several battles and emergencies, their relationship quickly became familiar, and even this time when they came to the center of the Dragon Court to find the ruins of the Dragon Court, Rafael only chose to take Jasmine alone.
First, of course, it is because of trust, and secondly, this operation is that the fewer people the better, and there is no one in the Long Court who is stronger than Jasmine.
"Jasmine, look, is this map going this way?"
Rafael glanced at the map and suddenly had a headache, the cartographic method of the ancient dragon race was very complicated, and it was completely inferior to the contour map used by the people of the Western Continent in terms of specific map details, so the current New Dragon Court borrowed the cartographic method of the people of the Western Continent to survey and map the paper.
And now the language used by the dragon court is very mixed, some languages are divided by region, and some are divided by race, Rafael does not know how the ancient dragon court solved the problem, so he had to divide the labor according to the tribe to complete the task, and then consider the unified use of words and other matters after he can breathe.
For example, the map of the ancient dragon court that Fisher gave her had no terrain indication and equal scale at all, and Rafael was able to determine the approximate range to this vicinity, which was the result of repeated determination by many sub-people in the new dragon court.
Today's Dragon Court is faced with many miscellaneous matters and a situation of ruin, but Rafael happens to be a tireless leader, and she has always been methodical in dealing with these things.
Jasmine glanced at the drawing above, of course, she couldn't read it, but she had Ramastia by her side, so she pretended to think about it for a moment, and then immediately pointed to the direction that Ramastia prompted her.
"I think... Well, over there. ”
"Really? Wait, how do you tell? ”
"Straight... Gut feeling? ”
Rafael sat up straight with a dumb smile, shook his head and turned in the direction Jasmine pointed,
"Intuition is intuition, let's go."
......
......
"Rafael, there seems to be a sinkhole down here, is this it?"
Rafael and Jasmine could not ride long in the mountains, so they tied their horses out of the jungle and climbed the mountain on their feet to find them, and under the erosion of time, only natural life remained, and in the crevices of the thick roots and dense weedy covered earth, one could occasionally catch a glimpse of a few artifacts of the ancient dragon court period in the crevices of it.
They were very fast, and after an hour of travel, a huge sinkhole suddenly appeared in front of them in the depths of this deep jungle.
At the edge of the huge sinkhole, countless streams and small rivers fall here, forming a rather spectacular waterfall, but Rafael and Jasmine looked down and saw that the bottom side of the sinkhole was pitch black, and the midday sun fell on it and was swallowed up by its depth, making it unclear what it was deep in.
Rafa Elby looked at the map in her hand, they had circled around the area several times before, only this sinkhole was the most in line with the feeling of the legendary dragon court ruins, although it was dark below, she finally decided to go down.
Rafael carried only some food and water, and the rest of the baggage was on the horse's side, she twisted her neck, turned back to Jasmine and asked,
"Then I'll go down and have a look, are you waiting for me up there?"
"No... No, that, I'm going down to see it too. There may be danger down there..."
In fact, Lord Lamastia wanted to see her last remaining child, so Jasmine had to go down anyway, and according to Lord Lamastia, Femabah was in the dungeon at the bottom of the sinkhole.
"Alright, let's go."
Rafael nodded no longer to stop her, she took a deep breath, and then the dragon scales on her body lit up little by little, becoming as dazzling as the sun in the sunlight, and her rank rose little by little, until the ground under her feet was scorched red by the scorching heat,
"Zizizi!"
Then, with a steam explosion, she also jumped down towards the sinkhole, and Jasmine took a deep breath and jumped straight towards the sinkhole.
"Winter!"
The two of them continued to fall in the dark space, and after sinking for about a few hundred meters, they barely landed on the ground.
"Bang!"
With the sound of two falling resounding on the ground, at the bottom of this sinkhole, above the dark pool where countless waterfalls converge, a complex and beautiful pavilion stands quietly in the middle of the years, and behind the pavilion is a giant gate up to 100 meters high, and on both sides of the giant gate stand two huge dragon statues, looking at the pavilion with fierce eyes.
"This is it... The ruins of the Dragon Court? ”
In the darkness, as they landed, flames made of magic erupted, illuminating everything here, and as Rafael looked around, a small table in the center of the pavilion slowly stood up, and on top of the table was a map of the outline of the Southern Continent, and there were just four openings in the four corners, representing the four dragon courts that governed the four regions.
Rafael took a deep breath and slowly embedded the confiscated Sifang Dragon Court Seal into it, and as the mark entered, the giant gate in front of him that was 100 meters high also loosened a little, and then gradually opened up to reveal the deep and wide space behind the giant door.
"Ahh
At the moment when the door opened, a heart-warming cry came from the sounds of countless creatures, and at this moment, the magic circuits of both Rafael and Jasmine became extremely hot, as if there was a black hole behind the giant door pulling their souls.
Rafael frowned, and Jasmine swallowed vigilantly, but after waiting for a few seconds, the strange feeling of soul tugging disappeared...
"Inside, something seems to be calling me..."
Jasmine was about to warn Rafael to be careful, but Rafael raised her hands, hesitated for a moment, and then walked behind the huge gate, Jasmine quickly followed her, through a huge door, and entered the underground palace that Ramostia had spoken.
As they entered, the fires on both sides of the huge corridor, which was 100 meters high and 100 meters wide, lit up one after another, and there was no elaborate decoration on the walls, only the splinters that seemed to have been struck by some kind of huge object, and a viscous, pure black slime.
Rafael and Jasmine were extremely vigilant until they came to the end of the corridor, and they suddenly saw a huge square wider than the sinkhole, and around the stone square seemed to be many furnishings made by dragons, but now all of them were lying on the ground.
"Rafa... Rafael... You see. ”
As Rafael looked around, Jasmine's trembling voice sounded behind her, and she followed Jasmine's raised finger towards the center of the square, and saw an unforgettable scene in the middle of the extremely magnificent square.
I saw that on the ground near the center of the square, there was some unknown black slime, which seemed to have life, constantly wriggling, and Rafael felt that the slime seemed to be pulling his soul just by looking at it, but when his soul fluctuated, there would be an extremely heavy breath in the center of the square.
Under that heavy breath, the black mucus broke away little by little.
Looking up again, he saw that at the end of the black slime, the huge shadow of the object that was completely unclear from the light of the fire was prostrate on the ground, and the creature shimmered with a layer of crimson transparent scales all over its body, and ring after ring like a circle of light suspended over his body, protruding his huge, indescribable body.
It was a mythical dragon, but it was far from the image of the dragonman, he had no wings, and his body didn't seem to be very strong, but a little slender, but if you looked at it with the naked eye, you would see that the space around him was distorting a little bit, just by looking at the creature, the scales on Rafael's body stood up one by one, and the blood seemed to be burning and about to burst out.
Jasmine's eyes began to spread thin bloodshots, and even her head turned red, obviously looking directly at this dragon would immediately take her life, but at this moment, her brain was like a pulp lake, and even began to appear to be with Fisher...
Just as Rafael and Jasmine were about to explode their brains to death, a trembling droplet of water suddenly appeared from Rafael and Jasmine's foreheads, and all the horror of looking directly at the dragon was blocked out by this small droplet, making Rafael and Jasmine gasp and get out of their state just now.
"Huh... Hah..."
Jasmine gasped, and it wasn't until she had the blessing of the simple drop of water on her forehead that she could see the dragon in front of her clearly.
A hideous golden wound on the dragon's shoulder hadn't healed yet, but it wasn't fatal, and what really cared Jasmine was that something seemed to be flowing from the black slime they had seen before beneath the dragon.
The thing looked like some kind of body that had long since died, and the black slime that kept pouring out of it blackened the dragon's lower body, and in the direction of the thing, there were many twisted and horrible black wounds in more parts of the dragon.
The dragon seemed to have fought a big battle with the dead thing beneath him, and although the thing was dead, the dragon was so badly injured that it slumbered there.
Ramastia didn't speak, and Jasmine was shocked by what she saw, and she guessed it in her mind.
Only Rafael, who was gasping, looked at the dragon lying on the ground resting in front of her, even if there was no reminder from others, she still recognized the only possible identity of the dragon in front of her for the first time,
"Dragon God, Femabah... You really exist..."
She muttered in disbelief as she looked at the powerful being in front of her beyond any creature's imagination. At this time, the pure dragon blood in her body was terrifyingly hot, as if Rafael's body echoed the dragon in front of her, which also meant that the dragon in front of her was the source of all dragon races, the only god in their mythology, Femabah.
The dragons have created their own kingdom under his name, and his name is a pledge of oath, thus demonstrating his unique place in the hearts of all dragons.
Rafael was no exception, she had grown up with the sacrifices of her elders to Femabah, but when she saw the powerful creatures lying in the dungeon, she couldn't tell how she felt now.
But after all, no one knew her inner thoughts, but at this moment, as she whispered, the body of the terrifying creature in front of her who was sleeping like a statue suddenly trembled...
"Boom!"
His steady breathing began to become restless, like a deep breath when a person is about to wake up in the morning, but as his breathing increased a little bit, the whole dungeon seemed to be swept by a tornado, Jasmine and Rafael's long hair jumped up and down, and a large amount of dust was rolled up by Femabah's breathing, covering the burning flames and obscuring their vision...
It was only in the midst of this fierce wind that a pair of turquoise dragon eyes as dazzling and brilliant as Rafael bloomed little by little, and the confusion that had been sleeping for thousands of years quickly disappeared, and Femabah's eyes rose little by little, staring coldly at the two small creatures standing in front of him.
