1303 Underground 1 (1/2)
Along the way, there were no accidents, let alone bandits and other obstacles. Facing a line of three White Dragons, the creature from the legends, even Golden Knights would not dare to stop them. Currently, in the Deladia Empire, White Dragons were equivalent to royalty because the Eternal Contract was largely reached due to the White Dragons. The Red Dragons and the other Dragon Clans were only there in name, only the White Dragons were the ones who fully supported it.
The clan was a long distance from the Snow City. After flying for more than ten days with a few pitstops in between, Garen finally saw the border of the Snow City. The border towers were lit up with lights, serving both as a guiding light and a warning. It illuminated the passing roads at night like a lighthouse.
The three White Dragons landed slowly on the edge of the tower, and the soldiers there had already run out to give warnings.
The border tower in the sea of forests was obviously just there as a warning. The ones that came out were just average Level Two elite warriors. It was most likely because this place was facing the dragon clan's habitat that they only had stationed a Level Two elite at this place.
”Three lords, what are you planning to go to Snow City for?” The stationed soldier at the tower shouted loudly.
The distance between the two sides was more than ten meters, hence he had to raise his voice.
”Yes, please report the situation.” Garen knew the rules. One of the Dragon Guards around him flashed a white-gold shield-shaped badge. That was a special symbol issued by the Deladia Empire to the clan.
The border tower immediately emitted a force. Almost as if a magic spell, the force immediately transmitted far and faded away. The speed was amazing.
Soon, Garen sensed faintly that they were being spied on.
”Who's there spying on me!” Garen narrowed his eyes. His dragon eyes instantly looking up towards the sky above him. There seemed to be a patch of dark clouds that made the area look like nighttime. Instantly, a transparent distortion flashed up.
”Sorry sorry, it might have been the Snow City Wizard Guard Lords coming over to check on things. Please calm your anger, Lord White Dragons!” The warrior at the border tower urgently explained.
Garen nodded, seemingly relieved. Both the Dragon Guards were a little shocked. They had felt something was slightly off earlier, but they did not expect it to be a wizard snooping on them.
”It was a Prophecy-type Wizard, they specialize in such spells. I've encountered them on the battlefield before,” one of the Dragon Guards said with a disgusted face.
”These damned Prophecy Wizards. The stronger ones could even investigate the exact time that you went to the toilet.”
Garon chuckled and said nothing.
Very soon, the wizards' check was completed. Another force was transmitted back from a distance away.
”Three lords, you may enter the borders now.” The border tower warriors respectfully saluted.
Finally, Garen and company spread their wings and flew off. As White Dragons, they are considered very well-tempered out of the Dragon Clans. They calmly awaited the human's border check to get permission to enter. They fully complied with the visiting procedure without a complaint.
If you go to other countries, these actions were considered very rare. However, in the face of Snow City, the Arcane Center of the Northlands, this was the gathering grounds of the top Arcanists of the entire Northlands. Even if it were the Dragon Clans, they would still have to have at least some etiquette.
The three dragons glided through the sky, effortlessly moving with the wind.
”Speaking of which, why are you guys, Dragon Guards, willing to stay in the clan to work? Why not go out and live alone?”
Feeling excessively bored, Garen asked the two Dragons Guards.
The two Dragon Guards were called Ken and Annie. One was male and the other female.
”Living alone? You mean those stupid dragons who sneaked out, then got cut up by humans and other races and have its entire body made into materials?” Ken laughed. ”We, as White Dragons, have a bad reputation. We would probably get ganged up on in most places we go to. Even in the current region where everywhere is filled with chaos, Dimensional Cracks can still swallow even the strongest Dragon Clans whole. There are even a bunch of them who got captured and turned into pets for others to ride on!”
”That's right, Lord Garen, you need to be very careful of one person when you get to Snow City,” Annie was calmer in her warnings.
”Who's that?”
”Dragon Wizard Asilia,” Annie said a name that Garen seemed to have heard of.
