C234 A Plan for the Dead of Night(part I) (1/2)
An hour later, Dragon Emperor Titans brought everyone to a city. Although this place was once incomparably glorious, it had now become a dead city.
Eavan looked at the empty streets: The Elves' structures were specially designed to take damage, the pure white buildings were meticulously carved, and there were all kinds of runes on them using flowing gold.
Judging by the size of the city, it was probably the capital of the elves. Many of the buildings had huge platforms on top of them, clearly meant for the dragons to land or rest.
The Tower in the center was even more majestic: it was at least a thousand feet tall, and from the number of windows, it had at least three hundred floors. At the top were two sharp needles, with a large black hole between them. Arthur reckoned that it was a magic device used to collect sunlight for the city's energy sources.
Dragon Emperor Titans indicated for Malefic and the other dragons to land on a raised terrace of the Tower.
As soon as he landed, he took human form. After Arthur jumped down from Malefic's back, he observed Titans from the start. His appearance of a middle-aged man, other than the silver scales on his body, looked no different from a human's. Arthur knew that it was a very high level magic for one's Dragon to transform into a human … At least, both the Malefic and Xian Wei wouldn't use it.
When everyone had landed, Titans raised his hand and opened a door near the stage.
Arthur and the rest followed Dragon Emperor and entered the Tower, walking around the golden palace.
Bedivere and Tristan were so excited by the beautiful scenery here that they almost went crazy. They were like two countryside bumpkins who had just come out of the countryside.
Just as they were excitedly jumping up and down on the red carpet, Arthur finally couldn't hold it in anymore: ”You two idiots, don't be rude! You can't afford to damage anything! ”
”Hmph hmph, let them play, [World Changers]. Her voice was extremely sweet. ”Other than me and the [Brilliant Protector], there's no one else here. ”
”No one else?” ”Arthur's face turned ashen,” ”No one else would …”
”All infected by [the endless darkness], we have to kill them all.” ”Dragon Emperor Titans acted as if nothing had happened.
While speaking, Arthur suddenly felt the Malefic and Xian Wei Arthur who were squatting on his shoulder shrink back!
”...” What had happened? Arthur could not help but ask, ”Why are Darkness Particle wreaking havoc in a place like Pure Land Ellison? Who brought the Darkness Particle here? ”
”….” It is my fault. Titans said softly. He was not willing to mention this matter to others, but he had no choice but to admit it.
”Is it your fault?” Why!? The Malefic could not help but ask, ”What did you do?!” Where did the Queen Mother run off to?! ”
”Here we are.” Titans pushed open a huge door carved from white jade. Inside was a huge reception hall, with a huge dining table in the center of the hall filled with all kinds of fine food.
The group of white jade statues dispersed, laying out the stools according to the number of people entering the living room. They lined up in a row and bowed humbly to the guests entering the living room.
Arthur walked in and couldn't help but praise the elves' intelligence. If he brought such a golem back to the farm, he wouldn't have to cook in shifts from now on, and cleaning didn't have to be done either. Furthermore, when he thought further, Arthur stopped his train of thoughts.
”Eat more,” Titans ate ruthlessly, but the food in his hands was extremely exquisite. Arthur thought back to the description given by the Malefic. This kind of bread that emitted a faint light was something that was made with Noctilucent Insect and the nectar of Breath of the Sky … Why does it feel like my appetite has suddenly disappeared!?
”Delicious!” It was too delicious! Bedivere and Tristan, the two morons, ate without hesitation. If they knew what they were eating, they probably wouldn't be so impressed.
Eavan took a bite of the bread. A sweet taste spread in his mouth. He had indeed never eaten such a delicacy before. Initially, he had wanted to indulge in a big meal, but he was afraid that he would show a disrespectful side in front of Eliason, so he pretended to eat it with dignity.
”Royal Father, stop eating and tell us quickly where Mother is!” Malefic asked after taking a few bites of the bread.
”On the other side of the world, far from Elven Village.” ”However, you will not be able to get there.” It was already infected by [Infinite Darkness], and there was a dark storm blowing all the time. No matter how powerful the defensive barrier was, it would not be able to break through the storm and reach Ayalise. ”
Malefic Red Fire Dragon and the White Frost Dragon Immortals suddenly seemed to understand something. Trembling, they replied, ”In other words …”
”Yes, Eilis is already infected with [endless darkness].” She would never come back. ”When Dragon Emperor Titans said this, his face was filled with incomparable regret and loneliness,” We have lost our most beloved Queen forever. ”
The two little dragons were silent.
Silence.
