35. The rebirth of the dragon king
Dragon Island, as the base camp of the Dragon Clan, is not under the jurisdiction of any party and is independent and self-reliant.
A long time ago, the Demon King, who was in a hurry to conquer the Three Realms, naturally also paid attention to Dragon Island, but even if he went into battle in person, the Demon King did not defeat Dragon Island and turn it into his own territory.
One reason is that the dragons on the island are really difficult to deal with, and the second is that the dragons, a race with high self-esteem, would rather die than surrender and surrender their territory. After eating the closed door, the demon king threw a few words such as "I will come back" like a thug, and then returned to her demon world in a gloomy manner. And since that time, no matter what kind of creature it is, it doesn't dare to fight the idea of Dragon Island anymore.
Fortunately, although the dragon clan has a strong sense of territory, they are not very ambitious, and they can only sleep when they have nothing to do, so they naturally can't think of any great feat of conquering the world, so they don't expand outward. Over time, it was gradually forgotten.
If it weren't for the Second Angel War, the witch Lilith instigated the rebellion of the black dragon group led by Onexia, it is estimated that the existence of Dragon Island would have been forgotten.
Lilith lying on Geraint's back had no idea what kind of honor she was enjoying, and she could only clasp the scales on Geraint's body tightly, if she didn't grasp it, she would have died if she fell into the sea below.
The dragons who were eager to get to Dragon Island were simply flying with their lives, and it only took an afternoon of work for Lilith to vaguely see the island covered with green beneath the clouds.
If it weren't for Geraint flying there, Lilith wouldn't have been able to see why this island, which was no different from the surrounding area, would be inhabited by dragons.
After circling over Dragon Island, Geraint led his escort to land on a sandy beach, where Geraint found something that would make him angry just by looking at it.
"It's a claw. ”
Onexia picked up the object that had been buried in the sand, "It's not like a cut in metal, it should have been cut by something made by magic." The other bodies have not been found, and it is unclear what it is doing. ”
"That's right. ”
Jaylan nodded, and began to ponder.
If Geraint was really just a six-year-old child before, now she is like she has suddenly grown up a hundred years old, with a maturity and stability that does not match her appearance.
"Probably they were hurt by the intruders you mentioned. "It's so strange how quiet it is, we didn't find any people in a walk outside, but it didn't look like we had been killed." Onexia, do you sense the existence of the people?"
"Hug, sorry, not yet. ”
For Geraine, who suddenly changed her appearance, Onyxia seemed a little overwhelmed.
"Well, Geraint. After staring at the creepy paw for a moment, Lilith said, "I have an idea. ”
"What is it? Lilith?"
The innocent and bright smile almost made Lilith wonder if Geraint had any face-changing skills.
However, is it really good for you to follow the example of Lucifer, to be completely different from yourself as you are to others?
"I'm wondering if I've been arrested. ”
Lilith said, "Because if the other party wants to kill it, it must be a corpse left, and even if the other party wants to destroy the corpse, he will not be negligent enough to leave a claw behind." So I think it's probably because the dragon clan was in a state where they couldn't fight, and then they were arrested together. ”
"Lilith is amazing!"
Hey, can you not look like this, your expression is really like this, it is already obvious that you have thought of this a long time ago.
"That, Geraint, majesty, your majesty......"
"Don't. Geraint hugged Lilith's wrist, "I like Lilith......"
The two have nothing to do with each other.
"But our people are once again subdivided according to race, and we are usually cave-dwellers. "If the people are all captured, we can't be sure where they are, and if they are scattered, they are no match for the other side......"
"I remember Onexia saying that the invaders weren't there to steal dragon souls?" Lilith asked, "maybe we might be better off going to the cemetery first?"
"The dragon soul is the crystallization of the dragon, and it is difficult for foreigners to use and absorb it, I'm afraid that the place where the invader is now may not be the cold cemetery, and most of the people there are ......"
Geraint's expression became complicated, but it was no wonder.
Since the intruder won't be in the graveyard, and she can't absorb the dragon soul, there is only one creature that can be given this kind of task.
Skeletal Dragons - Malogar.
As a dragon, she is still a dragon even if she dies, so most likely only she can absorb and take away the dragon soul.
"...... Geraint"
"Forget it, that's fine. Geraint suddenly smiled with relief, which made Lilith's heart twist inexplicably.
I'm afraid that even now, Geraint still can't completely let go of his feelings for Malogar. She has done this, most likely because of her title of Pendragon, in order to lead the dragon guards, in order not to let the dragon group of dragons have no leader.
No wonder Geraint was so respected by Onexia, it turned out to be like this......
"Let's go to the cemetery first and stop Malogar from stealing the dragon soul...... It just so happens that I also want to solve the regrets and regrets that I have been having with her. Lilith, the dragon cemetery is very cold, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it, I'll leave half of the escort team to protect you. ”
"It's okay, it's just colder, I'm not afraid of ......"
"Malogar is strong, so ...... Lilith, you'd better stay here. ”
"But ......"
"It doesn't matter. Geraint smiled brightly, "I've been able to take this step, so...... This time I won't be afraid. ”
The cemetery of the dragon clan, as a place to bury the dead of the dragon clan, has been preserved for an unknown number of years. The scattered cemetery, which was originally separated inside, had to become crowded because of the increasing number of dragon corpses. After many years, there is almost no land in sight in this cemetery, and even if you walk carefully, you will step on the bones of the dragons.
And after the death of the dragon clan, there is no way that only the broken body remains, and then it is buried in obscurity. They with high dignity also have to do something after death to show their existence, so on their corpses, because of various opportunities, a blue luminous body, that is, the dragon soul. These plankton-like swimming orbs of blue light have spread throughout the cemetery, each containing the full power of the corpse it represents. In other words, the dragon soul is the soul of these dragons after death.
Because he won't leave Dragon Island, he can only wander around the cemetery.
"Stand down. Geraint waved her hand and motioned for the escorts who followed her to stop in front of the cemetery, "It's not convenient for you to enter the cemetery, I'll just go in alone." ”
"But Lord Geraint, these are extraordinary times, and there may be some danger inside......
"I'm fine...... It is more convenient for one person. Geraint said, "Now you go together to search for the location of your people, or go and protect Lilith, this is an order!"
“......”
After a very strong resignation of orders and the removal of the guards, Geraint walked into the cemetery alone.
The feeling of familiarity, even though 100 years have passed, I still can't forget it.
There was a "click" sound on the ground under his feet, which was most likely the sound of stepping on the bones of his clansmen. The air around them had become moldy and damp, filled with the foul smell of decay and corpses.
However, this did not make Geraint feel any discomfort, or rather, it was not this at all that should have been concerned now.
Soon, I'm going to see you soon, but this time, I'll meet you as my true self.
And then go and do it with you that thing that never started in the past and never ends now.
Malogar!
