“I was just interrogating them, and they actually had the audacity to argue that you gave them these things, High Priest.” Bai Lixin rubbed his shoulder and stroked the golden lance that was slung next to his chair.
His voice was eerily cold, “How is that possible?! The High Priest has always been a model of self-discipline for all. How could he know the law and break it by handing over something that belongs to the palace to these people at will? ”
There was a momentary pause in Christian’s footsteps as he glanced at the five men tied to the cross and cursed in his heart.
Only to hear Bai Lixin add, “I also heard a very interesting topic from them-the entrance to the Dragon Clan, which they claimed was the reason you rewarded them. But I do not believe a word they say. I do trust you, High Priest.”
Christian stiffened his face and looked at the calm and collected Bai Lixin, then at the seekers.
His crystal-clear eyes rolled, and a sudden, compassionate smile appeared.
Christian continued his halted steps, only that he turned to a different direction and slowly walked up to the leader of the seekers and used healing magic to heal his wounds, “I’m sorry, Gavin.”
Hope and gratitude flashed in the eyes of the man at the head of the group, and he said excitedly, “Your Highness the High Priest!”
Christian gently patted and soothed the man, “Don’t worry, it’s all right.” With those words, he closed his mouth and healed the man’s wounds.
Another wholehearted devotee returned before Christian turned to look at Bai Lixin and smiled, “Your Majesty, as the man said, it was indeed I who asked them to find the entrance to the Dragon Clan.”
“Oh? Was it really the High Priest? So it is also true that you gave them these gold and silver vessels from the palace? You know the law and break it, High Priest.” Bai Lixin trailed off, sitting in his chair and resting his left leg casually on his right.
“And why are you searching for the dragon entrance? Humans and dragons have not interacted with each other for many years, and there is peace. If you were to pierce this peace and cause the dragons to attack back, the consequences would be unthinkable.”
Christian let out a long sigh, “Your Majesty, the reason I am searching for the entrance of the dragons is for the benefit of the human race on the whole continent.”
Bai Lixin let out a “Huh?”, “How so, High Priest?”
“You only know that Alexander I sealed the Black Dragon, but you do not know that he caused a greater evil when he let the two golden dragons go. Do you know the identity of those two golden dragons? They were the princes of the dragons, the future heirs of the dragon clan! ” Christian shook his head, “Alexander I drank poison to quench his thirst, using the Dragon Princes as bait in order to catch the Black Dragon; the Dragon King became furious and cursed that humanity would meet its end in eight hundred years.”
This old man doesn’t even blush when he lies. Did the Dragon King curse them?
How come he didn’t get that news from s419M?
He spat in his heart, but his face became more serious and nervous, “How could this be? What will exactly cause the extinction? ”
I don’t know exactly what the cause is. I got all this information from the manuscripts of Alexander I. Natural and man-made disasters, plague wars, all sorts of threats that threaten the survival of mankind are possible. And the only way to resolve it is for the Dragon King himself to lift the curse. ”
“It is now only fifty years before the eight hundred year deadline, so I sent them to find the entrance to the Dragon Clan just so I could ask the Dragon King to dissolve this curse.”
“A manuscript from my ancestor? Why haven’t I seen it? ” Bai Lixin frowned, “And why is the manuscript in your possession?”
“The manuscript of Alexander I is sealed in the High Priest’s special library in the Temple of Sacrifice; it is forbidden to anyone but the High Priest to read it.” Christian paused and then said, as if remembering something, “The reason I am telling you this and not making it public is so as not to cause panic.”
“If the entrance to the dragon clan is never found, everyone will perish, and if people live in fear of death, they will never be as carefree as they are today. If you hadn’t caught these men today, I would have kept it a secret, and I would have gone to the Dragons alone to pray to the Dragon King to lift the curse. If I succeed, all will be well. If I fail, everything will remain the same, and people will have no worries until the disaster comes. “
“So I hope that all of you who have heard this truth today will also keep this secret for me, and that no one will say a word about it after you leave this door. ”
After listening to Christian’s speech, Bai Lixin smiled and rose from his chair. He went forward and patted Christian on the shoulder and said in a serious manner, “High Priest, these years have been hard for you. Don’t worry; from today onwards, I won’t let you bear these pressures alone anymore, and I’m willing to work with you on the matter of the curse! Are you planning to travel to the entrance of the Dragon Clan? I am willing to go with you! ”
Christian’s face, which had been smiling, froze when he heard Bai Lixin’s words.
He laughed dryly, “Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand gold. The country cannot be left without a master for a day, so it is better to leave the matter of going to the dragon territory to me.”
Bai Lixin pursed his lips and gritted his teeth firmly. “No, High Priest. You have already dedicated most of your life to the whole of humanity, I cannot leave you to fight alone any longer! Why should I be a king when the human race is about to perish? I must go with you! ”
Christian:”…”
Faced with such a righteous King Alexander, for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of frustration.
Christian paused for a long time before he said, impatiently. “We’ll discuss this issue of whether you will go or not later. How about we let these people go back first for today? ”
Bai Lixin thought about it but shook his head, “No, we can’t let them go. There is no time to discuss this on another day when a great disaster is at hand. We will leave in three days. If the High Priest insists on not letting me go, I have a thousand ways of knowing how to get to the entrance of the Dragon Clan. ”
“Now that I have the divine revelation, I should fight the dragons to the end. How can I let the High Priest take the lead while I sit back and enjoy the benefits?”
Christian frowned and cursed in his heart, “Why is this King Alexander so difficult? Now, not only had he failed to get the Silver Dragon acceptance, he also faced a big problem. Other people still looked at him with respect, but King Alexander was the only one who had always competed against him for power, and now that he had said he wouldn’t let go, he wouldn’t let go. ”
When he saw that Bai Lixin would not relent, Christian flung up his sleeves and walked away.
The next morning, Bai Lixin did not come to see Sophia off, and Sophia was not annoyed, as she got neatly into the carriage and then asked Hillman to take her away.
But they had only moved for a quarter of an hour when they stopped.
When Hillman saw the person who had stopped them, he hurriedly jumped down from the carriage and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Christian, who was dressed in a black cloak, gave a bitter laugh and said, “Do you think I would like to be here? Now that things are pressing, I will say it straight out: you are a dragon, a silver dragon, aren’t you? ”
Hillman hurriedly glanced back at the carriage and smiled reassuringly at the sight of Sophia, who had poked her head out of the window, “I’ll talk to my friend about something. Give me a minute.” With that, he hastily pulled Christian aside and whispered, “How did you know I was a dragon?”
Naturally, I have my ways, and we will speak of these things later. Now listen to me! King Alexander can’t wait to make an alliance with the Sena Kingdom and is planning to set sail for the Dragon’s Entrance in three days! He now has a black dragon by his side and a divine weapon in his hand, so he is like a tiger with wings. ”
“He no longer cares about the power of the Senna Kingdom, and that is why Alexander has driven you away without sending you off. We can now only stop them! We must get to the Dragons before they do! ”
Hillman’s eyes widened and he exclaimed, “What, in three days?”
Christian nodded as he looked around, pulled the hood back over his head, and whispered, “King Alexander is watching me now, and I cannot leave the castle for too long. I know you have to send Princess Sophia back to the Sena Kingdom, but if you don’t believe me, you can come and see in three days’ time. If you see King Alexander heading for the Dragon’s Entrance with a divine weapon in his hand, then it might put your doubts to rest. ”
When he had finished, without waiting for a response from Hillman, he mouthed an incantation, and then changed into a black mist and drifted towards the Saron Empire.
Not far away, in the carriage, Sophia’s eyes were clear, and she took in the conversation between the two men.
She remembered what Ansel had told her yesterday when he knocked on her door and slowly clenched her hand into a fist.
Last night, just after she had fallen asleep, Ansel knocked on her door and admonished her to be patient, to pretend she knew nothing, to pretend she had no power, and not to act rashly, no matter what happened.
Not to show her strength until just the right moment.
Hillman returned to the carriage and smiled apologetically at Sophia, “It’s a friend; let’s keep going.”
Sophia nodded as if nothing had happened, “Good, let’s go.”
Three days later, with all his government affairs in order, Bai Lixin set out on the road, true to his own word.
Christian, who had anticipated the presence of the Silver Dragon, followed him without much opposition.
In his opinion, Alexander’s way of doing things was tantamount to asking for death, not to mention the fact that he was taking only one team with him and that the destination was the dragons.
He had dared to enter the dragon’s territory, so sure of his safety because he was relying on a divine weapon, he really didn’t know how high the sky was.
But since Alexander himself wanted to die, why should he stop him? If he died, the power of the Saron Empire would be in his own hands for a long time, or permanently.
So Ansel’s insistence on going to the Dragons was instead an act of suicide, just as he wanted.
Their party was small, with only Bai Lixin, Di Suo, Christian, Chief Priest Kenny, and the five men from the search party.
Although General Kapler strongly urged Bai Licin to stay or take him with him, Bai Lixin refused to do so.
After General Kapler pleaded in vain, he again asked Bai Lixin to take a party of Royal Knights with him. But he was refused on the grounds that it would be a drag.
Bai Lixin knew that bringing the Royal Knights would only get them killed in the end, and it was not necessary or worthwhile.
Kapler was left at the castle with strong orders. He had other important things to do, and he was needed there!
In just a day’s time, they appeared in a village a thousand miles away from the entrance to the Dragon Clan.
The people of the village looked at the group, and no one could have imagined that in this small group of less than ten people, there was an Imperial King, a High Priest, and a thousand-year-old Black Dragon!
The group had walked all day, and by the time they reached this village, it was late at night. After thinking about it, they set up camp in the woods outside the village and rested.
As the night wore on, Christian left the group and walked deeper into the woods after everyone had fallen asleep.
Deep in the woods, a figure was standing on the surface of a sparkling silver lake. The moonlight shone on his hair, reflecting a blinding silver light.
Christian smiled at this and slowly walked forward, whispering, “Do you believe me now?”
The figure turned around, and it was Hillman.
Hillman nodded, his face grave, “I felt the power of the artefact. It is extremely powerful and could indeed kill my king. You said earlier that you had the spell to break the divine weapon, but is it true? ”
Christian nodded, “It’s true! There’s no time to lose; let’s hurry up and get going. ”
“I was just interrogating them, and they actually had the audacity to argue that you gave them these things, High Priest.” Bai Lixin rubbed his shoulder and stroked the golden lance that was slung next to his chair.
His voice was eerily cold, “How is that possible?! The High Priest has always been a model of self-discipline for all. How could he know the law and break it by handing over something that belongs to the palace to these people at will? ”
