Dragon Temple

Returning to the roundtable, the Red Dragon Queen’s eyes were a bit red. She sat down and said with a trembling voice, “Everyone, something happened within the Dragon Valley, and I must return to take care of it. My apologies, I may not continue to participate in this conference.”

Mountain Sage Heroto was a bit curious. “What happened?” he asked.

Gretel didn’t want to tell them because it was her race’s own matters. Even if she told them, the Emerald Circle couldn’t help. They would only lament about the dragons’ bad luck.

Unless it involved the overall safety of the Firuman Realm, the Astral Magicians of the Emerald Circle wouldn’t care. They were high up and never acted like busybodies.

But seeing the Mountain Sage like this, a shred of hope rose in her. “A powerful demon appeared inside the Dragon Valley and killed an entire village.”

“Oh, such a tragedy,” Heroto sighed. And then…and then that was it. His curiosity was satisfied, and everything else was none of his business.

Furthermore, a village getting destroyed was nothing to a Legendary figure. Any spell over Level-8 could achieve it. Compared to the crack in the realm, it was too insignificant.

Beside her, Bryant asked out of concern, “Do you need help?” Gretel’s eyes brightened a bit, but then Bryant continued, “I’m quite interested in dragonification. If you can show me a bit, I am willing to help.”

“Thank you for your concern, but I think I can resolve it.” Gretel sighed inwardly. She shouldn’t have been delusional. Now, she was treated as a joke. Standing up, she said, “Everyone, I will go now. As for the rune for the crack…it will be up to you all.”

“Go now. The stabilization is already completed. We’ll take care of the crack,” Heroto waved his hand and said before the other Magicians could speak.

Seeing this, the other three didn’t say anything else.

Bryant shrugged. He’d wanted to get benefit from this, but since Heroto was like this, he wouldn’t add insult to the injury.

Gretel smiled gratefully at the dwarf. She told the servants to serve them well and hurried out of the room.

Pettalong and the other elders were already waiting outside.

“To Vida Village!” Gretel walked out of the temple first.

…

One hour later, Gretel led the five elders and close to 100 Warriors to the sky above Vida Village.

This was a quite prosperous village in the Dragon Valley, but now, it was deathly silent.

The faint smell of blood floated in the air. From the sky, they could see many dried corpses on the streets. The entire street—the entire village—was covered in corpses like this. Even the livestock had not been spared!

It was practically like hell.

Using her extraordinary vision as a dragon, Gretel quickly found similarities between the corpses. They all had a hole close to 15 centimeters wide. Judging from their appearances, it seemed that all their liquids had been sucked out through that hole.

The moment she saw the holes, Gretel’s pupils constricted. Judging from the size and the tactic of sucking one’s life essence, could it be that the Void Tyrant was back?

How could it get inside the Dragon Valley? The spatial barrier of the Dragon Valley was very thick. How could it get through? Or did someone summon it?

With that thought, Gretel was so shocked she almost fell from the sky.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong?” Pettalong asked immediately. He could sense that the queen had discovered something.

Gretel took a deep breath. Turning around, she ordered the Warriors, “Go back to the temple!”

The enemy was not something a regular dragon Warrior could face. Basically, any that went would die. They didn’t need to be sacrificed so meaninglessly.

The Warriors were confused, but they followed the queen’s orders and flew back towards the Dragon Temple. Only the Red Dragon Queen and the five elders remained in the sky.

Gretel was silent for a while. She seemed to be making a huge decision. Finally, she said, “We’re going to the Gray Furnace Valley.”

“Your Majesty!” Pettalong was shocked. “He’s the black dragon,” he reminded.

“He will completely destroy our tradition!”

“Your Majesty, you can’t be brash!”

The elders all spoke over each other in a hurry.

Gretel smiled bitterly and shook her head. Looking at the destroyed Vida Village, she murmured, “A Legendary Void creature destroyed this village. I am most likely not its match.”

With that, the elders stared at each other, falling silent.

What could they do if even the queen wasn’t its match? They couldn’t force the queen to fight it. What if something happened to her? They didn’t even dare to think about that.

After hovering in the air for a while, Pettalong said, “Your Majesty, it’s getting late. Shall we go?”

The other elders didn’t speak; they acquiesced. They couldn’t help it. The situation forced them to do this.

Thus, the group of six turned and flew towards the Gray Furnace Valley.

To the Red Dragon Queen and the elders, Dragon Valley was very small. It would take them less than half an hour to fly across it. It was less than 100 miles from the Vida Village to the Gray Furnace Valley. With their speed, they arrived within eight minutes.

In the sky, Gretel could see from the distance that there was a newly-built house in the valley. Using her sharp vision, she saw Link on the second-floor balcony.

His arms were folded behind his head, and he lay on a stone chair. He seemed to be resting.

Pettalong was instantly annoyed. “This guy. I thought he was studying magic, but he’s sleeping!”
