Chapter 12: The Price

"You...... Is it Alan Bixia?" Dearlando forgot that he was still under the water, and opened his mouth to speak, only to find that the water here was the same as that of the Dragon Realm, only in the form of water, and it could not really suffocate people.

"yes, but don't call me Bixia, you can call me Aunt Ellen, I've been this Bixia for too long, I want to hear others call me more human. The woman, who could not see the slightest trace of time, sighed faintly, stretched out her remaining right hand, which could move freely, and looked at Diarlando expectantly.

She was a very elegant woman, with snow-like skin, snow-like eyelashes and long hair, and her pupils were the same hazel-green color as Dearlando's. If you look closely, it is easy to see the connection between the two in blood.

"You...... What's going on?" Dearlando asked in shock as he reached out and grabbed the other's.

"This is the price to be paid to protect Hovland, and the final belonging of each Hovland queen. Here it is me and my mother and my grandmother, my grandmother's grandmother...... The place where the final resting place is also the reason why this land can be smooth and everything is thriving. ”

"What the hell is this white thing? Is it devouring you? I can help you break it. Diarlandoh pulled out his dagger, looked around at the coral-like white substance, and saw where it was quicker to start.

The long hair curled up again, loosely wrapping around his hand. Queen Allen frowned lightly and sighed, "You can't break it, it's the anchor that holds this continent in place, and if you break it, Hovland will fly out of the ground to the sky, above the stars." All the creatures on the continent will die. ”

"What the hell is this, I'm going to be confused, is it possible that all the queens have been trapped here until they die, starting with Queen Agati?

"Alas...... I'll tell you everything slowly, you get this little thing back first, or it will soon merge with the anchor. With that, Alan pulled out the young dragon from his chest that had just slipped into it as soon as he entered. In a moment, Ryses had fallen into a deep sleep, and it seemed that all the things here made him feel comfortable. So I fell asleep with peace of mind.

Take the baby dragon. After a closer examination to make sure it was just relaxing asleep, Dearlando put Reses back in the star box. Touching the material of the star box, he touched the white coral around him. Suddenly, it became apparent that these two seemed to be the same substance. Regardless of gloss, color, and feel, it is very similar.

"This ...... We call it the Anchor of the Stars. Queen Allen gently stroked the white hard shell that wrapped her with her hand. "Let me tell you a legend. After listening to it, you may understand what this is. ”

Diarlando nodded, intending to listen to the other party first. Everything here was so unbelievable that he wondered if he was dreaming. Maybe I'm still sleeping on Aenason Island, it's all my own hallucination.

Queen Allen looked at Diarrando and pinched herself to make sure she was awake, shook her head amusedly, and began to tell her story.

"Did you know that in the old saying, Hovland means heavenly? Legend has it that a long, long time ago, a large piece of star fell into the sea, and when it fell, the star shattered into many pieces and scattered over a very large ocean floor. But the fragments of those magical stars have a magical power, and over time, the fragments of the stars that fall to the bottom of the sea merge with the rocks, and then the rocks become lighter and lighter, and the land of Haiti is pulled up to the surface of the sea, forming continents. ”

"......" Diarlando wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. This legend is so ridiculous, a continent is a continent, how could it be that some fragments of stars were created from the bottom of the sea?

Queen Allen raised her hand, motioning for Deirlandor not to interrupt herself, and continued.

"The continents that surfaced began to have life, and the fragments of those stars had all kinds of seeds on them, and since then there have flowers and grasses on the ground, and there are all kinds of animals. Once, the goddess Mona flew over the sky with her golden boat pulled by seven dragons, and felt that it was a pity that such a beautiful shijie was empty, so she created humans, elves, and other creatures to enrich the continent. ”

"These beings have their own minds, and not only will they live in accordance with nature, but they will also use their own minds and hands to transform this shijie. Shijie has become completely new and full of vitality. But...... Intelligent life has infinite creativity and infinite destructive power, and in order to find the energy to meet the needs of society, everyone has reached into the ground and searched for various mineral deposits. ”

"One day, they dug up a magical stone that was so light that it could float on water like wood. They knock it to a huge heat, and burning it can easily blow up a mountain. So they thought they had found the best source of energy and started digging into it in large quantities. ”

When Dearlando heard this, he finally heard a hint: "You mean pumice?"

"Yes or no, listen to me, kid, be patient!" Queen Allen rebuked Diarandor majestically, and continued.

But what they never imagined was that when large quantities of this ore were exposed to the sun, they began to sparkle. And this light was brought from the surface to the earth, and the ordinary rocks gradually changed, and soon, they found that a rock flew into the sky, and then a bigger one, and the surface cracked, and as more and more surface rocks flew away, the more sunlight the ore below came. And the more sunlight you get, the more rocks fly. ”

"While everyone was at a loss, night fell, and the rock's flight finally stopped for a moment. Overwhelmed people wailed and prayed, weeping bitterly over the destruction of their homes. The goddess Mona, who has always cared for us, sent her starlight dragon to this place in a golden spaceship, laying an anchor for the floating continent. But in order to punish the greedy and reckless humans, it stipulates that every sixty years, someone must complete the reinforcement of the anchor. ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the beautiful pores around her like works of art and said, "When I am completely absorbed by the anchor, they will regrow and become a completely smooth anchor-like thing, which goes deep into the center of the earth and holds Hovland firmly in place." ”

"I'm completely confused, do you mean that the Starlight Dragon came to us a thousand years ago in a golden spaceship, and then stipulated that every sixty years a living person must be sacrificed to the anchor?" "Didn't Zoe summon Namuanto a thousand years ago, plunging Shijie into chaos, and then the Starlight Dragon put an end to its atrocities?"

"Not a thousand years ago, five thousand years ago. Queen Allen's speech once again shocked Dearlandor completely.

"The continent of Gedenlandi, where Turanda is located, is a young continent, it gradually surfaced from the bottom of the sea after the anchor was lowered, and the elves have seen the rocks fly into the sky, and they have also seen the continent grow and evolve. You follow Zoya back to the Elven Kingdom, and ask their queen if what I said is true. ”

"No...... This can't be, how can such a huge secret be known to no one. I mean, humanity may die early, but history will be recorded and passed down from generation to generation. For such a major matter, it is impossible for only elves to know, and other races will always have some relevant records. ”

"What kind of records? Like the catastrophe of the collapse of the heavens and the earth in the Book of Ancients, or the salvation of the dragon in the Mona Divine Codex? The bedtime stories you have heard since you were a child contain that history, but everyone thinks it is a complete legend. ”

"Then what's going on with your current situation, Weishenme repairing the anchor has become a task passed down from generation to generation by Queen Hovland, is it the dragon's designation?" Dearlando shouted angrily, could it be that he or Queen Allen, the Birmington family is destined to be entangled with the dragon, or to be destined to become a victim?

The long strands of hair flew again, gently curling Diarlando, pulling him in, and then embracing him into his arms.

"There is no need to be angry or sad, in fact, from the moment I ascended the throne, I knew the responsibility I would face in the future. So I spent the first fifty years of my life doing what I wanted to do and loving the people I wanted to love. When my final day comes, I will choose to face my fate calmly. ”

"When I followed the call of my heart and came here, I found that my mother, and her mother, every generation of people had left their attachment here. They guard this continent with their love for their children, and their spirits turn into rain and dew to nourish all things, living in this shijie in a new way. ”

"Look, it's like this. Before the words fell, the little kingfisher appeared out of thin air just now, "My will can be transmitted anywhere in this land without hindrance, and if I wish, I can also conjure up an image of myself at any time and show it to the world." ”

"Then you want to tell me the truth, you can let me see a phantom of yours. Diarrando felt bitter in his mouth, no matter what Queen Alan said that he did not resent, this was not death but a transformation of life forms, but he could not accept this truth calmly.

"Because...... I have a request for you, as a final request for a mother. (To be continued......)
