Chapter 758 - Encounter With a Dragon (2/2)

The giant and beautiful silver dragon flapped its wings and landed twenty meters in front of Roland.

The wind raised by the flapping wings was neutralized by the magic power five meters in front of him.

Then, the silver dragon emanated silver light and turned into a handsome male elf.

He walked to Roland and looked at him in awe.

After a long time, the dragon spoke in elvish, “Esteemed Mr. Mage, I’ve finally met you. It never occurred to me that you would be driving a mythic floating city after only a few years.”

He sounded rather surprised and impressed.

“Did we meet before?” asked Roland. “It was a few years ago. When I first saw you, you were flying with a weird spatial spell,” said the silver dragon with a smile. “I saw you again at the shoreline. I’ve been looking for you since then. It’s great that I’ve finally meet you.”

A silver dragon had been pursuing him?

Roland wasn’t very happy, as the guy was a male dragon.

He would’ve felt greater if he had a beautiful female dragon to ride on like Schuck did.

A male dragon… felt slightly weird.

“What can I do for you?” asked Roland.

“I was hoping to ask you the mechanism of the spell which boosted you to an unimaginably high speed.” The silver dragon put on a bitter smile. “I even prepared a lot of rewards, but I don’t think you would be interested in them now.”

While talking, the dragon looked around and was deep in thought as he looked at the buildings whose foundations were just laid in the city. “It’s not very difficult, as long as you’re gifted enough at spatial magic,” said Roland with a smile. “I have sacrificed the spell to the Goddess of Magic. If you try to worship her, you will probably get the spell.”

Roland was trying to get more believers for the Goddess of Magic. The stronger a believer was, the more power of faith they could provide.

Normally speaking, the metal dragons worshiped Bahamut whereas the five-colored dragons only worshiped Tirayat. However, the two gods didn’t forbid their descendants from worshiping others.

The dragons rarely worshiped other gods mainly because they were too powerful. The endowment of regular gods wasn’t even as powerful as their own strength.

“Goddess of Magic? i’ll remember that.” The dragon thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Mage, I’m Silver Dragon Futi. May I know your name?”

“Roland.”

“Then, Mr. Roland, are you willing to visit Rhodes Island?” said Futi with a friendly smile. “As the owner of a floating city, you’re qualified to enter the Island of Dragons.”

Looking at how young Roland was and the enormous floating city they were standing on, Futi smiled even more warmly. Rhodes Island, or the Island of Dragons, was located somewhere in the Eastern Sea. It was said to be quite large.

It was supposed to be a mid-sized continent, but the dragons were so large and fast that the continent was merely a fairly large island to them.

If they flew out in the morning and circled the island, they could reach home for lunch at noon.

So, when they talked to other people, they usually referred to the land as the Island of Dragons.

As time went by, everybody called the continent the Dragon Island.

Roland was quite tempted.

Dragon Island was very mysterious. There were different tales about it in every place of this world.

In every tale, one thing was always mentioned.

There were bound to be a lot of dragon bodies on the island or in the sea nearby.

It was well-known that the dragons were full of treasures.

Their scales, their bones, and their flesh were all valuable. Some dragons even had crystal cores in their brains.

These items, known as Dragon Crystals in the human world, contained powerful elemental energy.

The Dragon Crystals from the old, powerful dragons might even result in weak law pieces.

Roland estimated that if he could get some of those, his studies on law could be greatly improved.

Also, if he had enough dragon bones and scales, they would be perfect materials to build the floating city with.

The dragon bones were so hard that they were only second to the mythic Ohari Steel. They were great magic materials too. If he could find a tomb of dragons and steal a batch of bones, his floating city would be at least 50% harder.

Of course, stealing other people’s bones wasn’t something a decent man should do. But was it really stealing if a Mage was doing it for research?

Was it really?

If he was really too self-conscious to steal anything, he might as well search for the five-colored dragons. He could freely kill those evil dragons.

The metal dragons must know where the five-colored dragons were gathered!

Should he go to Rhodes Island to open his eyes?

Roland increasingly realized that it wasn’t a bad idea to go to Dragon Island. Of course, he had to be careful in case the dragons did anything to the floating city.

But what could they possibly do?

He had left self-exploding traps in the Magic Grid Core of the floating city.

If anything happened and the floating city exploded, half of Dragon Island would be razed to the ground.

Also, he had enough magic power, so it wouldn’t be hard for him to build a new floating city.

If the dragons had any malicious plans, he could just fight them.

He wasn’t scared of them at all.

“All right, it’s an honor to be invited to Dragon Island,” said Roland with a smile. “Can you point out the way for me, Mr. Futi? I don’t know where Dragon Island is.”

“Fly east for now.” Futi was quite happy that Roland accepted his invitation.

Most of the time, people wouldn’t accept a total stranger’s invitation to visit his home.

However, Roland was hoping to get the materials, and he was strong and confident, which stopped him from worrying about possible schemes. So, his curiosity was aroused by Futi’s invitation.

The floating city wasn’t slow, but of course, it couldn’t be as fast as a dragon.

In the evening, the floating city reached the sea and then stopped amidst the clouds.

At night, the sea was so vast that the surroundings were completely dark despite the moonlight. It was hard to tell the way.

Dragons normally wouldn’t fly at night either, so Futi lost the way and couldn’t direct the floating city anymore. It came to a stop.

The round moon was particularly beautiful from the floating city in the clouds.

At a stone table that was created with magic, the two of them sat face to face and enjoyed fruit wine.

Roland asked curiously, “I hear that there are a lot of metal dragons, but why do they rarely appear in the human world?”

“Because most of them are fighting the five-colored dragons,” said Futi sadly. “Both sides have lost a lot of members in the brutal battles.”

“Then why do you have time to wander in the human world?”

Futi said helplessly, “Because I’ve been searching for an enemy, the little princess of the red dragons. It’s said that she came to the human world, but no human countries seem to have been raided by a red dragon. It’s so weird.”

Wait… the red dragon princess?

Wasn’t it Margret, the dragon that Schuck rode all the time?
