Chapter 60

His majesty the pope who spreads the holy light (3)

Translated by: Niladri

___________

Surrey’s face changed dramatically as soon as he heard of the Dragon’s arrival.

The dragon race was not very friendly to humans.

The natures of dragons were such that they were attracted to gorgeous things. Almost every dragon had a huge and incomparable treasure house, which were full of valuable treasures. Initially, Dragon Island was not the only place where dragons lived. The dragon island was not enough for these huge guys. Every dragon had a strong sense of territorial boundaries. The stronger the dragon, the more territorial they were.

When the Giant Dragons first used to live on the mainland, there would be no wild animals in the entirety of the mountain range where the Giant Dragon lived. If they were too close to each other, they would keep tormenting each other. But the Giant dragon race eventually disappeared from this continent.

The reason was simple. The Giant dragon race had a big problem. They liked to sleep. It was normal for them to sleep for hundreds of years. And a sleeping dragon was hard to wake up. It’s obvious what would happen to the sleeping dragon and the rich treasury when faced with an enemy.

As a result, many dragons woke up and found that their treasure house being emptied by half. The enraged dragon could not find the shameful thieves even if it wanted to retaliate. In addition, there were those hot-blooded teenagers who were addicted to legends involving dragon slaying and often challenged dragons despite failure.

Although the dragons could kill these ants with one foot, it was not pleasant to have one’s sleep disturbed frequently. After a long period of such disturbances, the remaining dragons on the mainland moved back to Dragon Island and hardly appeared again.

With this, the rumors of Dragon Gods, dragon slaying or dragon knights, gradually faded away into the songs of the bards. Some of the dragons that had their treasures stolen destroyed several towns in retaliation when they had left. If it hadn’t been for the dragons nearly vanishing, they would have surely been put in the evil camp.

On the coronation day of the new emperor of the Bega Empire, what exactly was the origin of the sudden appearance of the dragon?

“Your Majesty, it is unknown whether this dragon is an enemy or a friend. There are many ordinary people here who don’t practice battle spirit or magic. I fear that they cannot be protected by the palace escort alone.” Surrey said to Lu Heng.

“I’ll go with you.” Lu Heng nodded.

“You return to your room.” Princess Windsor, who was opposite to Surrey, hurried out of the banquet hall with Lu Heng.

In the garden, the Royal Guard guards the nobles attending the banquet stood in concentric circles, with swords in hand facing the air.

Mid-air, a huge shadow was flying. The shadow slowly descended, and the Griffin Knights mounted on their Griffins on one side flew up mid-air and stood guard far away.

This was a gold dragon.

As soon as Lu Heng came out, he recognized the dragon in the air. There were different branches in the dragon race, each being good at their respective Dragon magic. Blue Dragons were good at ice magic, Red Dragons were good at fire magic, Bronze Dragons were very strong, Jade Dragons controlled the power of space and so on.

The Gold Dragon was proficient in Dragon magic, had magic immunity, and enhanced physical attack.

“I am the guardian of time, the weaver, the Lord of the earth, the space manager, the storm lord, the Dragon lord, Ionas.” The dragon language with complex syllables sounded in the air, and no one could understand it, but the meaning of the language went directly into everyone’s brain.

Sure enough, he was the only gold dragon on the mainland, demigod Ionas. If he came with hostility, no one could survive in his presence.

Lu Heng covertly grasped the scepter in his hand. Fortunately, today’s evening prayers supplemented a lot of his power of faith. If he needed to protect some people from this gold dragon’s claw, he could still barely try it. At least, no accident should befall the seven cardinals behind him. They were the cornerstones of the Papacy of Light.

“Ah.”

Lu Heng heard a slight whisper from his side. It was Princess Windsor who did not go back to her room and stayed with him.

The slight sound attracted the attention of the dragon in the air, and his golden vertical pupils immediately swept over.

After all, Princess Windsor was only a teenage girl, and had hardly ever left the capital. Being scrutinized by the eyes of the golden dragon, she was stunned by the momentum and took a step backward. Where she stood, behind her was the pool. This retreat tripped her over the edge of the pool.

“Royal Highness Princess!” With a cry of surprise, the maid next to her reached out and tried to pull her.

It turned out that when Princess Windsor tripped on the edge of the pool, her body lost balance and leaning backwards, she was about to fall into the pool. Although the maid grabbed her sleeve in time, she was dragged into the pond.
