Chapter 60 - His majesty the pope who spreads the holy light (3) (2/2)

Lu Heng couldn’t help but watch the two girls fall into the pool. He stepped forward and held Princess Windsor’s left hand waving wildly in the air to help her up.

“Thank you.” When Princess Windsor’s posture became steady, she quickly thanked Lu Heng.

“Is this your human princess?” Before Lu Heng could say anything, he heard the sound coming from the air.

“Protect her royal highness princess!” Then there was Surrey’s panicky shout.

Lu Heng turned back and saw the dragon in the air flying towards Princess Windsor behind him. When Lu Heng’s scepter moved, the bright stone at the top of the scepter magnificently shone, forming a shield to protect Princess Windsor behind him.

The reason for Ionas being here happened a few days ago. As the most powerful gold dragon of the Dragon race, Ionas had the largest territory, the most treasures, and the longest sleep duration.

This was the first time that Ionas had woken up after thousands of years and happened to come across a meeting of the Dragon Race. This exchange was usually held when most of the dragons were awake. The content of the exchange was very simple, which was to show off the treasures one had obtained during that period.

The lives of dragons were so boring that they had nothing to do but sleep. After all, the strength of the Dragon came from their innate gifts and inherited memories. They generally grew stronger with age, and they did not need to work as hard as human beings in order to obtain strength. Many dragons wake up to find their strength having increased by a lot.

A green dragon named Lishcus recently acquired a new treasure. Lishcus was merely over two thousand years old. He was still a reckless young dragon. He had been exploring the mainland in the guise of a man for a long time. After getting the new treasure, he came back with great interest to attend the exchange meeting which was last held a long time ago.

Lishcus’s treasure was a man, a bard. This bard, if viewed from a human perspective, was indeed remarkable. In the eyes of the dragon, it was also passable. After all, he had blonde hair more brilliant than gold, and eyes more dazzling than sapphire.

Nevertheless, a lot of gold coins and treasures piled together would have been more attractive than this man.

Seeing the lack of interest of the dragons, Lishcus was dissatisfied. His treasure, however, had the most beautiful voice, which was better than the nightingale’s.

“Lance, you can play them a song.” Lishcus said sullenly.

“Yes, my dear little Green Dragon.” The bard Lance bowed slightly and took out the lute.

The bard’s song was really like celestial music. It was more beautiful and moving than the white elves. It made the dragons drowsy. Well, this was the highest praise among the Dragons towards good things.

For example, ‘I slept soundly on my pillow because of all the treasures I got today.’ This was a dragon’s highest praise for his treasure. 1

However, Ionas was not happy. Because he heard his name in this epic.

In the epic, Ionas, despite being a demigod, did not go to the divine realm, and instead chose to stay on the mainland for the most beautiful human, Princess Rose.

When the Dragon saw Princess Rose’s dazzling smile more brilliant than any treasure, he kidnapped the princess back to the cave and held all the treasures in front of the princess. But no amount of treasure could bring about the princess’s smile, and the dragon was unwilling to give up the princess. Eventually the princess died of heartbreak, because she missed her homeland and relatives. In order to punish himself, the regretful dragon gave up going to the divine realm, but remained in the native land of the Rose Princess forever.

Ionas was angry.

He was a giant dragon with a good taste. The treasures in his cave were all one in a thousand. Such a human princess was not qualified to enter his cave as a treasure at all. How dare these stupid humans fabricate a legend involving such a noble dragon lord?

The tempers of Giant dragons were not very good. It was no mistake to say that he too had a bad temper. What’s more, it was slandering the dragon’s name. The furious Ionas decided to go and see the most beautiful princess in the human race. If she really was more beautiful than his collection, he would snatch it and bring it back as one of his collections. 2

In this way, the long poem will not slander the name of the magnificent dragon, and he could barely forgive the human race itself. If the princess could not match the ugliest of his collection, Ionas, the leader of the dragon, would have mankind pay the price.

Princess Windsor was the most beautiful human princess now- as sung in the mouth of a bard.

As soon as Ionas heard a voice calling for a princess over there, he immediately looked over. At first glance, the noble Dragon Lord was stunned. It had light golden hair warmer than the early morning sunshine, green eyes more clear than the oldest leaf of the ancient tree of life, and soft lips more attractive than the eternal flower of the divine realm.

Ionas felt that he had found the most precious treasure.

Seeing the Golden Dragon swooping down, the Griffin Knight tried to come forward to stop it, but when he commanded his mount, it completely ignored the command and descended to the ground, crouching and trembling. Even the powerful Griffin was vulnerable to the Dragon race’s attack.

Surrey pulled out his sword and blocked the way of the Golden Dragon, trying to protect his sister, but the Dragon brushed him aside. He could see the Dragon getting closer and closer to Princess Windsor.

Some cowardly nobles even covered their faces and dared not see the beautiful scene of Princess Windsor being taken away by the dragon.

The flapping of the dragon’s broad wings created a strong gale, and even the people on the ground could not open their eyes. It was not until the Dragon had left that the scene returned to calm.

Surrey jumped up from the ground and said in a hurry, “Griffin Knights! The entire team must immediately set out to rescue the princess… Windsor? Why are you still here?”

The holy and beautiful princess Windsor snatched Surrey’s broad sword and ran in a direction lifting her skirt: “You Dragon! Put down His Majesty the Pope!”
