Chapter 759 The Silver Dragon’s Stories
“Your target is Margret, one of the red dragons?” asked Roland while staring at him.
Futi nodded. “Yes. We’re told that she’s a hybrid of a dragon and a human. She’s very talented and can assume the shape of a human before a hundred years old, which usually takes a dragon three hundred years to do.”
“You think that she’ll grow into a great enemy in the future, so you want to assassinate her while she’s out?” asked Roland.
“Assassinate is a strong word for a just cause,” said Futi jokingly. “You sound as if you heard about Margret before, right?”
“Not only have I heard about her, but I’ve seen her too.” Roland thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think you need to kill her.”
“Why not?” “Because she has changed.”
“How is it possible? Why did she change?”
Roland opened his hands. “Because of love. She fell in love with a man.”
“That’s very unlikely.” Futi found it hard to believe. “The red dragons are usually strongly biased against mankind.”
“But it isn’t a problem at all if you have enough Charm,” said Roland with a smile. “She fell in love with one of my friends.”
Hmm?
Futi seemed confused. Then, he said with a mocking smile on his elven face that was almost androgonyous, “Mr. Roland, when you said your friend, did you mean yourself?”
A man who had a floating city and earned the respect of dragons was definitely charming.
At least, he was very charming to Futi.
Roland coughed quickly after hearing that and said helplessly, “It’s really not me. He’s one of my friends.”
“Got it, your friend,” Futi replied with a mysterious smile, obviously unconvinced.
Then, Futi voluntarily changed the subject and talked about the interesting tales among the silver dragons.
After that, he returned to his original form and fell asleep in an open space.
To be honest, Roland found the silver dragon quite bold.
It wasn’t hard for someone who had a floating city to slay a dragon.
Also, in Roland’s system vision, Futi was shown to be level 15, which meant that he was a new Legend.
A Legendary dragon was equal to a Demigod human, because dragons had higher comprehensive stats.
However, the problem was that Roland had a floating city.
Even the World Tree didn’t dare do anything to Roland. What about a Legendary silver dragon?
Did the silver dragon have anything to protect himself?
But of course, Roland didn’t intend to murder the dragon at all.
He sat on the ground and surfed on the forum for the night until the sunrise.
Futi woke up. He turned back into an elf and pointed the way for Roland.
After another half day of flight, they finally reached the west side of Dragon Island.
Observed from high above, the island had magnificent mountains that were capped by snow.
Plenty of silver spots were hovering among the mountains. They were obviously silver dragons.
The silver dragons seemed to have noticed the floating city. Very soon, they gathered into a crew of about fifty dragons and flew at the floating city.
“I’m going to talk to them lest they offend you.” Futi turned into a dragon, whose scales glittered in the sunlight. He looked even more elegant and beautiful than regular dragons.
Then, he swooped down.
The silver dragons who had been flying upward all paused when they saw their fellow in the sky.
Futi talked with the silver dragons for a while, and they all left. After that, he returned to the floating city and resumed the shape of a human, before he said, “Mr. Roland, I’ve asked them to inform the elders in our clan and prepare a welcome party for you.”
“I don’t think that’s necessary.”
“It is.” Futi waved his hands. “You’re the only person who has a floating city right now. It’s the tradition of silver dragons to respect the experts in the Lawful alignment.”
Roland was slightly surprised. Then, he remembered something.
A book whose name he had forgotten mentioned that the metal dragons were Lawful and generally friendly with mankind and elves.
As the “judges” among the metal dragons, the silver dragons innately carried the ability of seeing through someone’s alignment.
It was a passive talent that they were born with.
They didn’t need to cast a spell, and those they scanned wouldn’t feel anything.
Was it why Futi dared to bring an expert who had a floating city back to his clan after they just met?
Seeing that Roland was deep in thought, Futi said, “Mr. Roland, please wait here for a while. I need to go back and make preparations too.”
After that, he resumed the shape of a dragon and flew back to the mountains.
Roland ascended the floating city, but he failed to catch a full view of Dragon Island.
He estimated that he had to raise the floating city about another five kilometers to see the contours of Dragon Island.
At this moment, the mountains were as small as pointy bamboos.
He had to say that the Dragon Island was indeed a continent, although it was just an island for the dragons.
Those creatures were too big. The adult dragons were generally more than ten meters long. The elder dragons could even reach a hundred meters long!
They could weigh more than a thousand tons.
Yet, they could still fly! It was not scientific at all.
In fact, it was just Roland’s double standard… His floating city weighed much more, yet it was still flying
Seeing that it was impossible to get a full view of the Dragon Island, Roland descended to the original altitude.
Very soon, Futi flew back.
Roland was briefly stunned. Earlier, Futi was beautiful in his dragon form, which was agile and strong.
However, he displayed a feminine beauty at this moment.
His body was more curved, and the horns on his head tilted back and lost their edge.
His scales, or her scales, were just like before, except that they were brighter and smoother.
What?
To Roland’s surprise, Futi turned into a beautiful female elf in the long dress of the elves. She was quite pretty.
Her face was just like before, but it was full of femininity.
“What happened to you?” “Sorry, but this is my real look,” said Futi in a pleasant voice. “Mr. Roland, please listen to my explanation.”
Roland nodded.
Then, Futi began her explanation.
As it turned out, Futi was one of the chief candidates of her clan, just like Margret was.
For the five-colored dragons, they had to kill all the other chief candidates in order to assume power, but for the metal dragons, it was a lot simpler.
Their candidates had to do something that would benefit their clan.
