1283 Mishap 1 (2/2)

Garen realized that the humans within the clan had steadily increased over time and the Elder's Peak had enacted an Act preventing any conflict between the human and dragons. The majority of the White Dragons were willing to obey the law after several severe punishments toward a few Adult White Dragons. After all, conflicts were not the only thing humans was able to bring upon them. They could also bring upon all kinds of food, resources and shiny objects which they adored.

As the White Dragon Clan worked alongside with the Deladia Empire, their food and drink were greatly assured for the past year or so. All they had to do was to give up some items that did not matter to them. These items included the dragon scales that had been shed off from their body, dragon claws that had to be cut off due to overgrowth, or previous collections which they were bored with or no longer benefited them. In return, they would obtain a luxurious life and no longer be required to go out to risk their lives as they hunted for their own food.

Garen returned to his cave at the mountainside as he took a turn around the entire Elder's Peak. He had a slight gist of what the humans were trying to do.

They planned to domesticate the White Dragon Clan to the point where they could not live without them. Then they would form an alliance or even enslave them!

However, these were none of his concern. Perhaps it would be better this way as it would be a win-win situation compared to the wandering lifestyle.

He returned to his cave as he continued to accumulate his Potential Points. Three months had passed in a blink of an eye, and a new batch of dragon whelps had been born.

The day was the sixteenth day of the seventh month.

A new batch of dragon whelps had hatched in the clan and had enrolled in the Nurturing Course. The Soul Inspection was being held on the Elder's Peak. It was a major event as the soul inspection ceremony was still held by the Great Elder.

Garen did not head out to see the ceremony. Instead, he decided to stay inside in his cave alone to rest. He had started to value the Draconic Aura after he realizing its effect during the battle with the Suffering Knights.

However, something seemed to have occurred during the Soul Inspection ceremony. Sathree and Safour, who had attended the event, rushed back to the cave.

”Something terrible has happened!”

Sathree shouted as he rushed towards Garen impatiently.

”Something terrible has happened in the clan. Garen, how could you have the mood to stay inside here. Let's go have a look!”

”Something terrible?” Garen widened his eyes as he looked at the hysterical Sathree and Safour.

”What's going on? Isn't the major Soul Inspection ceremony being held right now?”

”It's the Soul Inspection. Boris' grandfather is in trouble!”

”It's not just them, Leona's grandfather is in trouble as well! The three elders had allied with the humans and betrayed the clan!”

”They'd imprisoned the Great Elder and said that he's a rebel!”

Both dragon whelps took turns to inform Garen as to what had transpired as they rushed toward him, trying to pull him to the scene.

”Boris and Leona are currently being isolated and questioned! Saszt tried to save them but he was taken away by his parents. We couldn't think of any idea and had no choice but to come to you to solve this issue!”

”Garen, you always have a solution to a problem. Please think of a way to help them!”

Although the dragon whelps are naturally selfish, they had befriended Boris and Leona after getting along with them for a long time. They came rushing back and reporting everything because they were friends.

Garen was pulled out of the cave by two dragon whelps and they flew directly towards the Elder's Peak.

He had obtained thirty-five Potential Points since his return seven months ago. Thirty out of the thirty-five points were all added to his Strength, Agility, and Vitality, pushing his Attributes to an unprecedented state. The remaining five points had been used to increase the effect of Draconic Aura.

Both of his Strength and Agility had reached 57 points and his Vitality had reached 50 points.

Garen's body size was technically no different compared to a typical teenage dragon, which was the size of a horse. Still, his fighting ability had technically reached the level of the strongest matured White Dragons.

His powerful Vitality had given him a stronger Spell Immunity and an even higher physical defense.

Garen brought two of the dragon whelps along and rushed directly toward the sundial-like interrogation platform which was located at the side of the Elder's Peak.

A lot of White Dragons and humans could be seen gathering over there from afar through the white mist.

The sundial was a complete mess as the sharp long needle was broken; a battle seemed to have occurred there.

Boris had been restrained by two teenage dragons as he was pressed onto the ground, unable to move at all. All he could do was to give off an agonizing roar.

The entire situation was divided into three parties. The first one was the humans in a gorgeous silver gold attire. They were in a group, and aura kept oozing out from the strongest humans among them. Two of the warriors in golden armor had caught Garen's attention as the weapons they were holding were releasing a terrifyingly powerful threat; it seemed to be weapons that had been stained with the Dragon Blood.

One did not even need to look to know that these two Warriors were incredibly powerful.

On the other hand, the White Dragons were separated into two groups where one was a bigger group than the other.

The third elder was smiling with a staff in his hand as he represented the majority of the dragons. He had two White Dragon Guards in a silver heavy armor by his side as he spoke to the minority of the White Dragons. There were a huge group of powerful Adult White Dragons hovering in the air behind him as they kept growled at them.

Most of the White Dragons in the minority were all adults; all of them were in disdain, annoyed and angry.

”The second elder will never betray us!”

”You can't simply judge the second elder with your evidence!”

”This is a conspiracy!”

”Third elder, are you trying to let the Great Tiamat see through your evil soul?!” The strongest Adult White Dragon among the minority group walked out and shouted.
