Chapter 299 (2/2)
”Yes, there are Dragons - although the war was sacrificed countless, after being seriously weakened by the Dragon Kingdom, those evil gods and their demon army were finally blocked north of jiejie mountain.”
Brandon nodded and smiled softly: ”The rest is the 'truth' that ordinary people can't see - the last Dragon Queen, brenhild, a seven-year-old girl, was sent to the kingdom of Saxony before the last dragon king died. She married my... Lucky ancestor, along with twelve remaining dragons, and the secret of communicating with the dragon.”
”From that day on, the de sallion family has become the 'Dragon King family'.”
”According to the 'oath' between the desalion family and the dragon, every generation of desalion can go to Jufeng mountain once, where he can meet the Dragon at least once. If he can be recognized after communication, the dragon will serve him until the day this person dies.”
”All my life?” Lauren raised his eyebrows.
”Don't look at these terrible monsters from a human point of view. The dragon has an unimaginable long life, and the longest one so far has lived nearly 500 years!”
Brandon shook his head with a smile: ”as far as I know, the dragon and human beings have a completely different concept of time - in most cases, they just blink at them all day!”
”In short, every generation of de sallion will go to Jufeng mountain once, and the situation is slightly different - sometimes six people may be recognized by six dragons at the same time, and sometimes only the eldest son and a last son with the same luck will succeed; in any case, the crown prince of each generation has almost never failed.”
”But this time...” Brandon smiled playfully. ”I'm the only one.”
”Oh?”
Lauren also slightly raised the corner of his mouth: ”can you tell me what happened?”
The empty silver hall with only two people has become a lot more subtle.
”At the beginning, it was the same as the tradition of every generation - my dear Royal brother Connor was sent to the Dragon Cave in Jufeng mountain, and I was casually left at the foot of the mountain by the guard. When climbing the mountain, I was almost swallowed by mirasis, that is, my dragon as a rabbit!”
”But ah... I don't know why, it was me who finally became the 'Dragon Rider', not my dear imperial brother.”
Brandon's face gradually lost his smile, and the corners of his mouth became colder and colder: ”it was just a test, but in the end it turned into something terrible that could arouse the ambition of others.”
”They say... Getting the approval of the dragon is the proof of desallion's blood; they say... Some shameful son of the emperor who never obeys must have used some unknown means to disgrace his brother, his future emperor, and want to be loved by his father and emperor in this way...”
”I said... It's all bullshit!”
Lauren smiled.
It is indeed the style of the prince.
”I don't care what others think of me, and I'm not going to live for others... It's too tired and boring. But do you know which is the most chilling and frightening?”
”It's my brother, his royal highness, the future emperor of the Empire. I don't know why... He began to think so.”
The two men fell into silence at the same time.
”... can I think so?” Lauren lowered his voice and looked at Brandon. ”What you look like now is actually to avoid suspicion?”
”Well... For more than ten years, he pretended to be a fool, wandered around, never made a decent noble friend, and was monitored all the time.” Brandon stalled:
”What else can it be for?”
Lauren's face was expressionless. He was about to guess the answer.
But he still wanted to hear from his royal highness.
”And now... I'm getting tired.” Brandon smiled and looked at Lauren. ”And I think they should start getting tired, too.”
”So let's welcome your Majesty's mission!”
