Chapter 32: Relics

Diarlando pulled out his parchment, went to the window, sat down, and looked at it carefully. The content of this letter must be extremely important, otherwise Martin would not have sent it to him.

The initial greeting Diarlando jumped straight over, and then about the Pith fleet, Ruidan said that he had sent someone to investigate, so that Dierlando did not have to worry. The third paragraph begins with the excavation of the vault in the ruins of Augustus.

...... Since the last time I saw Big Brother, I have stepped up the excavation work under the Astral Palace. After draining the water from the underground lake of the Astral Palace, we discovered that there was a magically enclosed chamber in the rocks below the island in the middle of the lake...... //

The chamber turned out to be under the altar, and Diarrando raised an eyebrow, not expecting that what he was looking for was so close. The latter section is about how to open the chamber, and Deirlando jumps over it again, not stopping to read it until he sees what was found in the chamber.

...... Three stone chests were found in the chamber, all of which had magic seals, and only the smallest one could be opened in the same way as the chamber. A set of drinking utensils, a pair of bracers, a dagger, a pendant were found in the box, and a mutilated codex was also found, which seemed to be a ...... left by Landis, the king of light//

Seeing this, Dearlandor's gaze stayed for a moment, and he thought of the handbook of Landis that he had obtained in the Dragon Realm, and the actual object of that handbook did not know where it was now...... Is it sealed in some secret place, or has it turned to dust with the passage of time?

...... The contents of the Codex are badly damaged, as if they had been burned, and the fragments refer to how the King of Light and the Starlight Dragon helped the Seventeen Kingdoms to rid themselves of the monsters and win their alliances, and the battle against the Demon Dragon King is mentioned several times. This is different from what we have written in all the history books, and it worries me deeply. Dearrando frowned and read the following paragraph, lost in thought. He understood what Ruidan's worries were, this continent was originally composed of eighteen countries of various sizes, and it was because of the arrival of the Starlight Dragon a thousand years ago that swept away the monster aliens that were raging everywhere, so that all the countries could recover from the turmoil and stability, so as to form a blood alliance to form a unified and powerful Turanda Empire.

Neither official nor folklore has ever mentioned the Demon Dragon King. In fact, before the day of the collapse of Augustus, no one even knew that behind the Bran Cliff was a terrible country. Through limited and pitiful trade exchanges, all believed that Bran was just a mysterious, underdeveloped troglodyte race.

You can erase the existence of the Dragon King and the entire Bran and that history...... How powerful is that needed? Who can do ......?

The answer is so obvious!

Diarlando felt a chill behind him, and cold sweat covered his forehead at once. I had just used the dragon flute more than ten days ago, and even if it was a complete layman's wrong usage, it could easily modify the memories of thousands of people. So if the dragon did it itself, what would it be?

In connection with the story that Fayl told today, perhaps everything that the Starlight Dragon has made up and modified for the world to know. All people have been kept in the dark and deceived for thousands of years. And how true is the contract between himself and the Starlight Dragon?

Deirrando opened the star box with a slightly trembling hand, and the young dragon immediately jumped out happily, climbed on Deirlando's shoulder, leaned affectionately on his neck, and then lowered his head, as if reading the letter.

Riess ...... You seem to have a big secret from all of us?" Diarlandor took the young dragon off his shoulder and placed it in the palm of his hand and looked at it face to face. The young dragon looked at Diarlando inexplicably, his big watery eyes were pure inside, and he couldn't see any haze or darkness.

Risen and Dearlando looked at each other for a moment, realizing that their symbiote wasn't going to feed it, so they looked away and sniffed around. Zuihou coiled up boredly, curled into a small ball in Deirlando's palm, and dozed off again.

Diarlando sighed helplessly, holding the young dragon that was not sleeping with one hand, and continued to read the secret letter with the other hand.

There is a certain rivalry mentioned several times in the King's hand, and it seems that he also disagrees with the Starlight Dragon on how to eliminate his enemies and strategies, and when he has the upper hand in the competition, the Starlight Dragon will listen more to him. Other times, it's the dragon that decides everything. He mentions that Liliang will pay a huge price for using the dragon, but the price is not stated or has been burned......//

"The price...... At what cost?" said to himself, but he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive at the thought of the changes that had occurred in his body when he overused the magic of the young dragon.

...... Big brother, I believe that the dragon's contract has a very great secret and danger, so please be careful. I, along with the wisest of the world, are working hard to crack the remaining spells, hoping to open the remaining two chests and solve the mystery as soon as possible. Enclose the letter with the strange spell in the Codex, and you can see if there is a clue to crack it. The zuihou of the scroll was a copy of the content, and it looked like it was all ornate and intricate patterns, but this time Diarlando recognized it at a glance, it was a large part of the dragon language. Ruidan was so clever that he had discovered that the strange patterns in the Codex were very similar to the spells in all of Augustus' temples.

Based on the surviving records of the Holy Spring Palace and the Holy Light Heavenly Palace, he reversed some of the words recorded on the codex against the known incantation contents, although it was only a few words, but it was also carefully marked next to the complex patterned font.

Diarrando looked at the dragon language on the parchment, which was barely half a foot long, and the annotated words were "Guard", "Defense", "Activation", "Elemental Power", "Creation", "Growth", "Foundation", "Reality", and "Projection...... Some words come and go, but there are so many missing parts that I can't read what they're talking about.

After the payment, Ruidan also added that the other items in the stone box had been sent together, so that Dierlando could see what was special.

The young dragon had fallen into a deep sleep by this time, and Dearlando hesitated between immediately diving into the dragon realm to investigate and examine Landis's relics.

However, he was determined to look at the relics of his ancestors first, and in any case, this thousand-year-old monarch was the pioneer who really dealt with the dragon, and any information he left behind was the most valuable treasure.

Dearrando carefully placed Reseth back into the box, then returned to the box he had just opened. Inside the pile of laundry, a pair of leather bracers carefully wrapped in silk bags were found. The bracers are made of some animal leather, shimmering with a warm oily shiny, and the only special place is the inner lining of the bracers, which are embroidered with some elven words on the sturdy and soft fabric.

Elven races are already very rare on the continent of Turanda, and there are only occasional rumors of elven cultivators. It seems that this long-lived and mysterious race has gradually evacuated this continent since hundreds of years ago, but in the neighboring Duchy of Hoffmann, Turanda, there are still large areas of primeval mountains and forests that belong to the territory of the elves.

As the crown prince Dillando, there are many things that must be learned, including Elvish, but he is not very good at learning and can only barely understand the commonly used words. He took a closer look and it seemed to be some kind of spell restricting Liliang. I don't know what kind of thread is used to embroider the incantation, but when my fingers touch it, it will glow with a faint green light.

Diarlando tried it on and it felt like the size was just right, it was simply tailor-made. But when he put both bracers up, he seemed to hear something click shut.

But when he listened quietly, he couldn't hear anything, and he didn't feel anything wrong with his body. Shaking his head, Diarrando took off his bracers and tossed them aside, continuing to look at the others.

Barware, pendants and a large number of precious stones are placed together, and the small golden flask and matching glasses are very special, not like the style of Turanda, full of exotic atmosphere. The pendant is a large, translucent, sharp tooth wrapped around it on a base made of dense silver, and a faint blue color peeks through the transparent tooth, making it impossible to see what creature it belongs to.

Zuihou was the dagger, tied to a plain-looking longsword, and placed in the corner of the chest. The dagger was sheathed with animal bone and pure gold, and the dark red leather rope was wrapped around the handle, and the sword body was more than a foot long, and there was nothing special about it except that it was very sharp.

Diarlando sat down on the floor in front of the box, and lined up the piles one by one, picking them up one by one to examine them, and putting them down one by one without any results. Zuihou couldn't help it, he still used a little dragon perception to probe the four items, and found that the pair of gauntlets with the highest energy among them were the handguards.

Putting the handguard back on, Dearrando heard the soft clicking sound in his head again. Dearlando stood up and looked around, but nothing had changed. Zuihou put his gaze back on himself, and wanted to use the dragon's perception to detect the bracer on his hand again, but found that he couldn't switch to the dragon's field of vision.

"Won't you...... Could it be?" Diarlando was surprised and quickly took off the gauntlet and retested it, and this time it was able to be used normally. After testing it back and forth two or three times, Dearrando finally understood the effectiveness of the hand guard.

"Haha, it turned out to be something that could suppress the dragon's magic. Dearlando happily put the gauntlets back on, this time trying to summon his magic sword. The will was condensed, and the light flashed in the palm of the hand, but the white magic sword that should have appeared immediately did not appear for a long time.

There was a slight feeling of pressure coming from the bracer, and a soft but powerful Liliang suppressed the tumbling energy in Deerlando's body. For Diarlando, who lacks enough self-control and always unconsciously uses the dragon's Liliang, this is simply the most suitable equipment.
