1352 Entrust 2 (1/2)
The old man's body was extremely enormous and he was over five full meters tall. He seemed like a normal old man who was enlarged. He wore a light green long Druid's robe with the symbols of a golden moon and a silver star on top. He also had a white looped ear of wheat that represented his over Level Ten Great Druid status.
This Druid's aura was concealed fairly well as Garen could not sense his exact level despite detecting it carefully.
He was at the very least a Level Ten being.
After both of them had sat down facing each other, the old man sized Garen up once before opening his mouth slowly.
”You don't have to detect it anymore. I'm currently located in the village and all of my strength has fused with the village's Protection Matrix as one. Thus, I'm the entire Matrix. This Matrix has Level Fifteen peak powers. Although my Spirit Power is insufficient to control such great forces, it can achieve roughly Level Fourteen when I bring it into play.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
He smiled.
”Moreover, are there any mere level differentiations that can clearly describe everything that happens in this world?”
”You have a point.” Garen nodded in admiration. He lifted the cup of dark green tea that was prepared before him and tipped it into his mouth gently before a sweetness and fragrance that resembled honey filled his mouth instantly. It was tinged with the scent of various flowers that made it impossible for people not to relax their bodies completely and be drunk in it.
”This is a rare honey that was made by collecting more than three thousand different types of flowers and pollen. The cup that you drank requires a year to be made,” explained the old Elf. ”It just so happened that we could get rid of the intense Abyss aura on your body.”
Garen's heart trembled.
”You've managed to tell.”
Indeed as the other party had said, it was completely impossible to fully distinguish between power levels simply by relying on level partitions. Situations where great reversals occurred at times among opponents with a few levels between them were not nonexistent. After all, forces were merely a form of strength but schemes, strategies, military tactics, pitfalls, and other things were also parts of strength.
”I've been good friends with the Third Elder of your clan for many years. Although that fellow is obsessed with ambition and desires to truly become independent and leave White Dragon Mountain so that the White Dragon Clan can develop greatly, your clan has steadily deteriorated these few years, especially after you were banished,” said the Elven Elder quietly.
”Was it due to a type of pressure or an enemy?” asked Garen quietly while raising his eyebrow.
”An enemy.” The Elder shook his head. ”That's right, you can call me Green Beard.”
”You can also simply address me as Garen,” said Garen politely.
”Alright, Garen.” Green Beard continued speaking, ”During the Ten Thousand Dragon War five years ago when the Great Decisive Battle between the Deladia Empire and the Black Elves was ongoing, both sides threw in almost all of their own military forces. Numerous young adults who were in the prime of their lives were also thrown in by the White Dragon Clan naturally. The final outcome was…”
”They were defeated?” Garen furrowed his eyebrows.
”Yes, badly defeated.” Green Beard nodded while a hint of melancholy appeared on his face.
”Badly defeated… From what I know, the Empire's forces should greatly surpass that of the Black Elves right?” said Garen in a puzzled manner.
”That's a given. Emperor Gus has achieved up to Level Fifteen critical unnatural powers in more than one lifetime. He also brought the Divine Weapon called Reversed Misfortune Dragon Spear that was basically unstoppable,” Green Beard exhaled. ”However, an unexpected variable has occurred.”
”Variable?”
”Void Crevices. Numerous Void Crevices have surged out from the rear before an abundance of Void Creatures charged out. The Empire's troops were caught in the middle of a converging attack on both sides that resulted in a crushing defeat. One of the powerful creatures was even well-versed in our language. He called himself the Enchanted Hunting Demon Master. He was simply not an opponent that Emperor Gus could challenge. During the Ten Thousand Dragon War, he captured numerous members of the dragon race that had taken part in the war and slaughtered, devoured, and even enslaved them. Although it is unknown why he let off the part of the White Dragon Clan, the White Dragons fought fatally against the Black Elves because of the previous Ten Thousand Dragon War and suffered terrible casualties.”
”Demon Master?” Garen laughed bitterly. He had never expected that the White Dragon would be let off after he ran around in circles and returned to his own world. It appeared that this Enchanted Hunting Demon Master was aware of some inside information. Perhaps it was because he knew Deception Demon Master or that Garen's Therapist reputation had spread far and wide. There could be other reasons behind this but in short, the other party had given him some face.
”It looks like you know some things.” Green Beard could keenly notice Garen's differences.
”It's fine. It would be better for me to return personally for a visit and witness it with my own eyes.” Garen stood up.
”That's good as well. My Teleportation Array here leads directly to your clan. It'll be good for you to return for a visit and ask them questions personally. Actually…” Green Beard was about to speak but he hesitated and did not open his mouth in the end.
Garen glanced at him.
”Thank you very much.”
”Don't mention it. I hope that you can unify the current clan properly.” Green Beard shook his head.
Garen left the bamboo house and walked in the direction of the Teleportation Array while being led there by a male Elf.
Along the way, there were numerous Elves around him that ran over to look at him. There were old and young men and women who watched him with friendly gazes. It appeared that the White Dragon Clan had previously left a pretty good impression on them.
Garen had even encountered a little group of human adventurers who were invited inside to drink tea. These people were strictly monitored as if they were prisoners. When they saw that Garen was receiving special treatment that was worlds apart from their own, this group of people clearly thought that it was unfair.
Garen stood on the Teleportation Array before a hazy layer of green light flashed and covered every part of his entire body.
The vast stretch of green flowed before his eyes before the green shades dispersed after sustaining for a few short seconds. A pure white ice wall now appeared before his eyes. He was currently located inside a crevasse that was not very big while an Elder White Dragon that seemed crippled was guarding it on the side. He opened his dragon eyes that were dim-sighted from old age and looked at Garen carefully.
”You are?” Since only the creatures that were approved by the Elven Elder could arrive here through the Teleportation Array, he did not display any malicious intentions.
”The clan has already reached this extent?” Garen did not answer his question but looked at him in a stunned manner instead.
They had actually sent a crippled Elder White Dragon to guard such an important Teleportation Array.
He released a hint of Draconic Aura lightly before that specialized Draconic Aura made the Elder White Dragon's entire body tremble suddenly.
”I'm Garen.”
Garen's voice echoed slowly.
The Elder White Dragon had yet to react before he saw Garen disappear instantly. Only a fragmented shadow that vanished slowly remained on the original spot.
****************
The whooshing sound of wind swept past the side of Garen's ear and reverberated there.
He had transformed into his dragon body already and was looking down at the original White Dragon Clan below him. Numerous weak White Dragons had formed patrol groups that were flying around the snowy peaks while the Dragon Whelps were currently wailing while being trained by their instructors in the middle of the snowy peak.
Several slightly muscular Adult Dragons were about to fly out now. When it seemed as though they had noticed this White Dragon that they had never seen before, they turned around and flew towards him immediately.
”You are…” One White Dragon could vaguely see a blurry but familiar appearance.
