Chapter 629: This Era Is Not Pure Coincidence (2/2)

“Legendary Epic Silver Dragon?”

“The companion of the Draconic arcane master who killed the Evil Dragon?”

“It’s you?”

Ayrin’s mouth remained wide opened and could not produce proper sounds. He could not link Old Ginns to the legendary figure at all.

Although he did not read many books about the Era of the War with Dragons, he had seen some pictures of the end of the war.

In those pictures, there was a Silver Dragon and a hero wielding a longsword slaying the Evil Dragon.

“Really?”

Old Ginns just looked at Ayrin gently, intelligence dwelling in his eyes. Ayrin, who was very familiar with him, had already arrived at the answer.

“Incredible.” Ayrin finally closed his mouth, “Then, you can also transform into a Dragon? A Silver Dragon?”

Chris, Charlotte and the others were overwhelmed by their emotions...... Although they had already witnessed the Evil Dragon’s consciousness, Hero Issen and the Epic Silver Dragon were something else entirely. They were existences that encouraged countless arcane masters to do good and held a different value than the Evil Dragon.

When such a legendary figure appeared before their eyes, the impact to their hearts was too severe.

“I could in the past, but not anymore.” Old Ginns shook his head.

“Why not? Are you too old?” Ayrin was a little disappointed. He wanted to witness what the Silver Dragon in the legends looked like.

Auroses’s voice came from behind, “Because he extracted his Silver Dragon bloodline with a forbidden skill and passed it down to you.”

Ayrin turned around and saw Auroses landing behind him and walking over with a gloomy expression.

“Extracted his bloodline and passed it down to me?”

Ayrin was dumbfounded, “Aren’t bloodline inheritances done by using Holy Artifacts?”

“The Holy Artifact of Dragon inheritance is the essence of blood from the deceased Dragon. However, the Dragon race has a low population, so there can only be one or two Holy Artifacts each generation.” Auroses took a deep breath and spoke with a displeased expression, “If there’s no Holy Artifact, we can only use a forbidden skill to extract our own bloodline and make it into a Holy Artifact.”

“Is what he said true?” Ayrin looked at Old Ginns, “Does that mean you passed me your bloodline and lost it yourself?”

“He’s speaking the truth.” Old Ginns nodded, “Our Silver Dragon bloodline was always scarce. Once the Era of the War with Dragons came, only Issen and I were left.”

“Your companion, the legendary hero who killed the Evil Dragon, also possessed the Silver Dragon bloodline?” Ayrin asked in surprise.

“He obtained it from a Holy Artifact. However, we have had no more Silver Dragon bloodline Holy Artifacts after that.” Old Ginns nodded.

“Then, why did you pass down your Silver Dragon bloodline to me? Is it because you’re too old?” Ayrin asked.

“......” The others were speechless. Could Ayrin think of no other reason than Old Ginns being too old?

“That is one reason. Although the pure Silver Dragon bloodline has a long lifespan and allowed me to survive until now, my deteriorating physical body is unable to sustain in a fight. Hence, I had to find an inheritor.” Old Ginns looked at Ayrin and spoke, “However, there’s another important reason.”

“What’s that?” Ayrin asked eagerly.

“After the Era of the War with Dragons, a thousand years passed, yet the Evil Dragon’s faction was hiding in the shadows and could not be completely exterminated. The threat of the Evil Dragon remained present. His consciousness might have sensed the existence of bloodlines like mine. Due to such a threat, his remaining consciousness did not die down, yet did not dare to expose himself and start a revolution either. Hence, as my physical body deteriorated, I made a decision. I would make him believe I was already dead.” Old Ginns slowly explained.

“So, you extracted your bloodline using a forbidden skill and created it into a Holy Artifact? Then when the Evil Dragon could not sense your presence anymore, he thought you died!” Ayrin and Jean Camus glanced at each other and understood the situation, “Then, the Evil Dragon could execute his schemes without a worry...... and completely expose his forces.”

Old Ginns nodded.

“So, the reappearance of the Evil Dragon in this era, the reappearance of the Silver Dragon bloodline...... Evil Dragon follower’s expansion, none of it is coincidental!”

Chris and the others immediately thought of this possibility.

“When he stopped sensing my presence, he endured for another hundred years. Afterwards, he began executing his plans. Meanwhile, after I created the Holy Artifact, it took me a hundred years to find a suitable arcane master. That was you.” Old Ginns looked at Ayrin emotionally and warmly.

Ayrin did not feel proud at all. He still had tons of questions and asked, “Then, did you know about the Fallen Shadow Valley Campaign and Doa Royal Palace beforehand?”

“The Evil Dragon was killed and only left behind his consciousness. His actions had become even more vigilant. The Evil Dragon followers occupying the Fallen Shadow Valley and Doa Royal Palace were like tumors in the shadow. They could not be discovered until they grew to a certain extent.” Old Ginns shook his head, “A single person’s power is limited. In order to resist the Evil Dragon, you need to rely on the power of your companions and all arcane masters with righteous beliefs.”

“Then, why did you put your Holy Artifact in the Holy Dawn Academy’s library?” Ayrin asked.

“Because there were teachers and arcane skills suitable for you there. That’s why I chose the Holy Dawn Academy. In your path of growth, I felt the Holy Dawn Academy would suit you the most.” Old Ginns smiled, “Even now, I feel my choice was correct.”
