Volume 2 The Birth of the Demon King Chapter 106 The Death of the Dragon King
Half an hour passed, and Anne used her teleportation magic to return to Ophelia.
However, seeing her solemn expression, Ophelia understood that this matter was probably not settled.
"How's it going?"
"Well," Anne looked at her, sighed softly, and said, "Well, I consulted Lestie, but as soon as she heard that I was trying to save an important friend, she recommended me a senior scholar in the field of dragon history, and I went to him, but in the end I got the news that it was ......"
Anne stopped abruptly at this, and she glanced nervously at Lilith as she peeked in through the window.
"What the hell is going on? Say it. Lilith urged.
"yes, is there anything to avoid? But it's all my own people here, and no one will overhear this kind of thing. Ophelia wondered, too.
"Okay, I say, but Lilith, I hope you don't get too sad to hear that."
"Huh? Why should I be sad? Lilith was puzzled.
After all, how could a mighty dragon like her be grieved by the words of a human?
Now that she has said that, Anne has no choice but to tell the truth.
"The scholar told me that the dragon king was found dead in a huge cave five hundred years ago, his body was pierced by some kind of sharp weapon, and there were dozens of dragons lying around him, which were also the same cause of death, and it was later investigated that all of these dragons belonged to the Dorag family, in other words, they were exterminated."
“…… How is this possible? Lilith looked shocked, "They just abandoned me at that time, how could they die suddenly?" ”
"Lilith, I know you don't want to believe it, so we can go to the cave and have a look, and the scholar seems to see that I don't believe it, so he gave me a map and let me confirm it for myself."
"What a map, show it to me." Lilith hurriedly said.
Anne pulled the map out of her pocket and showed it to Ophelia.
Lilith looked closely at the location marked on the map, and in the mountains to the west of the Elnoth Empire, there was a huge ruin surrounded by mountains, which was obviously the city she remembered built by the dragons.
The city was built on the westernmost point of the continent, on a plateau thousands of meters above sea level, and the terrain is too dangerous for humans to reach.
Like the elves, the dragons also shunned humans because they did not want to quarrel with greedy humans.
Although dragons are known as the strongest creatures on the continent, their blood is not small for humans, because it allows humans to gain immortal bodies and great strength.
There is indeed a leader in human history who did not hesitate to go to war with the dragons in order to obtain the power of the dragons, and the final result can be imagined, the humans suffered a crushing defeat, but the dragons also lost a lot, and the war finally ended with peace talks between the two sides.
Because the dragons on this continent are already scarce, less than 5,000 in total, and almost half of them were lost in the battle with humans, on the other hand, their numbers have increased exponentially.
If the war continues, no matter how powerful they are, they are likely to be wiped out by humans, so they have no choice but to passively escape from the world and flee to the edge of the continent that is difficult for humans to reach.
Although the dragon warriors felt that such a move was a shame, the dragon king's duty was to find a way to keep the entire race going, so he had to make compromises.
But now, the Dragon King has been destroyed along with his own family, who will do this? Lilith couldn't figure it out, but she had an astonishing conjecture in her mind.
She probably understood why she was abandoned by her family, maybe not because she couldn't fly and disliked her, but because of this, she picked up a life.
Her father, as the dragon king, has always been unpopular with other dragons, because they fought against weak humans, but in order to protect the group, they had to flee into the mountains, which is an unbearable shame for dragons who respect the strong.
At that time, due to the majesty of the dragon king, most dragons did not dare to oppose his ideas, but there was one family that was different, they dared to openly disagree with the dragon king.
In the history of the dragon family, almost all dragon kings came from three families, and later over time, the influence of one family gradually weakened, and only the other two competed.
Lilith had heard about that history, and in the end, it was her Dorag family who wiped out another family so that her father could ascend to the throne of the Dragon King.
Therefore, there are only two of the three major families left, so the only motive for the destruction of the Dorag family today is the family that was originally in decline, and they may have been secretly developing their power, co-opting those influential and powerful dragons in the dragon family, and when the time is right, they will do it.
Then her father also had a premonition, so he had to make the whole family ready for battle at any time, and for her, a dragon princess born with a flaw, the father didn't want her to be involved in a cruel struggle, so he had to abandon her.
But she misunderstood her family's behavior, so much so that she hated them for five hundred years, and when she thought about it, she felt guilty.
"Don't be too sad, Lilith," Anne reassured her, and then suggested, "Maybe the scholar has made a mistake in his research, or we should go and see for ourselves." ”
"I agree," Ophelia nodded, "not to mention that this is the only way to save the Emir, and it is also at stake for Lilith's own safety, and it would be a pity to give up because of the scholar's words." ”
"Okay then, Baifeng Town is about to be attacked by the demons, can you two really accompany me?" Lilith said worriedly.
After all, this should have been done by herself, and if Anne and Ophelia were taken away because of this, resulting in the fall of Baifeng Town, then her sin would be great.
"Hehe, what's there to worry about," Ophelia disagreed, and then explained, "Let me tell you this, this town has people who are stronger than us, such as Melissa's teacher and me, Mr. Victor, the legendary paladin Zelens, and a hidden master, the Knight Master Charles, with whom we have nothing to do." ”
"In this case, then I will be relieved."
"Haha, how do I feel that you don't look like a dragon at all," Anne couldn't help but complain, "Look, don't dragons hate humans very much?" But you care about humanity all the time. ”
"Uh, is that complimenting me?" Lilith asked quietly.
"Of course, you're the kindest dragon I've ever met," Anne said bluntly, then added, "though I've only seen you in my life." ”
Lilith couldn't help but laugh out loud when she said that.
After that, they decided to set off immediately and head to the dragon city.
This section of the road is enough for tens of thousands of kilometers, but it only takes three days for Lilith to fly over with the two of them.
When they flew through the gate of Baifeng Town on a dragon, they found that the demon army had already arrived at the city, and they set up camp a kilometer away from the city gate, established a small nest, and then charged towards the city gate from time to time.
Although the humans were able to repel the demon charge every time with their excellent cooperation, the casualties were not small, and those who died suffered greatly, which led to low morale among the other soldiers.
Ophelia could see that the demons were going to fight a war of attrition with humans, and this was their usual trick.
"Lilith, can you do me a favor and burn that demon lair with dragon breath." Ophelia said in a pleading tone.
"Piece of cake." Lilith readily agreed.
Then she waved her wings and swooped down into the air, spitting out three scorching dragon's breaths in a row as she skimmed over the lair, each of which burned up swaths of the tent.
Immediately after, the entire lair pillar of fire soared into the sky, and countless monsters struggled in the flames, but they could not escape, and finally turned into charcoal.
The monsters that arrived later were able to attack enemies in the air, but Lilith dodged all attacks with her nimble body.
Although she had only recently learned to fly, this skill seemed to have been engraved in her bones for a long time, and now she was only awakened.
Lilith does like humans, and at first there were people who wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood, but neither the bad guys, nor the gentle ones like Emir, recognized her worth and made her feel that she was not useless waste.
So she decided to help the humans again, fly directly to the demon lair, and destroy it too.
Because she determined the location of the demon base camp through magic perception, and it happened to be in the same direction as her flight, which was also considered a way.
"You'd better hurry, I'm going to speed up next."
Lilith reminded them, then flailed her wings vigorously and lunged forward.
However, her behavior did not go well, because she immediately found out that an existence with huge magical power flew out of the demon lair, which should be to stop her monster, and this formation seems to be very strong.
Ophelia and Anne also found out, so they quickly let her go, don't fall in love, if you have to help humans, at least wait until you save the emir.
Lilith followed their advice, and quickly distanced herself from the monster and flew towards the sky.
However, when she came to a height of several thousand meters, she suddenly found that the monster also flew up.
"Damn, how can this guy fly so high?"
"It's okay, since you want to die so much, let's fulfill it." Anne smiled slightly, then unleashed her magic with her wand.
A sphere condensed with the wind element immediately launched and aimed directly at Lilith's underneath.
However, after a few seconds, the expected screams did not sound, and they found that the existence that emitted traces of magic had actually come to their heads.
They were shocked, because they hadn't seen the figure of the thing clearly, and what a terrifying speed it was.
They hurriedly looked up, and saw that it was actually a behemoth, and they looked at the shape...... It's actually a dragon?
"What?" Lilith was also surprised.
"Ah......h Could it be that there are dragons in the demons? ”
Then, perhaps in response to their question, the dragon overhead spat out a black pillar of flame at them.
