Chapter 1308 - Angel and Dragon (1) (2/2)

After a few moments, Lydia broke the silence. She gazed out the window quietly. Her beautiful face grew with some melancholy, while her fair, slender fingers caressed the edge of the teacup. Upon hearing her words, Rhode shrugged.

“But aren’t you the same, Your Highness Lydia? Even though you didn’t become the Light Dragon, you still hold the power of the Country of Light.”

“Yeah, this is also something that I’ve never imagined…”

Lydia said, turning around and looking straight at Rhode.

“Your Majesty Rhode, ever since I met you, you’ve given me many surprises. If it weren’t for your help, Erin wouldn’t have become the Dark Dragon. Without your support, perhaps Her Majesty Lilian wouldn’t have made such a decision…”

“I’m just trying to do what I can, Miss Lydia… But sometimes, I do want to call it quits.”

Unknowingly, Rhode addressed Lydia as ‘Miss’ instead of ‘Your Highness’. In fact, when he heard her words, he also let out an inward sigh. He recalled the days when he first transmigrated to this world. Back then, he simply wanted to live and help the Munn Kingdom change its fate of being destroyed. Then? What would it be like later? Back then, he couldn’t have thought about it at all. But now, everything was different.

Not only had he become the Void Dragon, but he also had the fate of the entire Dragon Soul Continent on his shoulders. If someone said this to him at the beginning of his journey, he would have thought that person was a psychopath. After all, even in the later stages of the game when he transmigrated to this world, their goal was to only defeat the Void Dragon and prove that Starlight was deservingly the number one guild in the Dragon Soul Continent. As for what the future of the Dragon Soul Continent was… Not even he thought about such a distant question.

But now, he had unknowingly become the leader of the entire Dragon Soul Continent. He was even going to transmigrate the entire continent to another world to find a safer and more peaceful life. Such a change in identity had never occurred to him before.

Besides, he didn’t only change his own fate, but the others’ too.

Lize didn’t die in the crash of the floating boat. Marlene was freed from her original fate, even awakening to become one of the deity wardens. Erin went from being the moon princess to the moon queen. Anne went from being an ordinary mercenary to the child of an elemental lord. The destinies of the people around him changed one by one. He had never thought about this before, but this time, after feeling rather moved by Lydia’s words, he suddenly found out that he had done so much more without realizing it…

If he treated this entire journey as a huge mission, did that mean the mission would be over after he successfully transmigrated the Dragon Soul Continent to the solar system?

But would things get easy for me after this mission is over? The threat of Chaos may be gone, but what about the future of the Dragon Soul Continent?

At this thought, Rhode felt somewhat bored all of a sudden. He could imagine that even if he transmigrated to the solar system, it didn’t mean that the Dragon Soul Continent would be able to live in peace and tranquility for the rest of its life. Maybe he would have to deal with Earth as the Void Dragon sooner or later. He felt a little unmotivated. This kind of feeling… was similar to the struggles of having to finish finals and deal with piles of holiday homework before one even had the time to relax.

“The sapling will someday grow into a towering tree, but it will also bear fruits and scatter its seeds on the ground. Mr. Rhode, I don’t think you need to be in such a hurry… Do you know what I mean?”

“Hmm?”

Upon hearing Lydia’s words, Rhode felt a little dubious. He lifted his head and looked curiously at her. Even though he was used to her poetic speaking style, this time, he realized that she actually meant something behind her words.

“Miss Lydia, I don’t really understand what you mean.”

“You will know it one day, Mr. Rhode.”

Facing his question, Lydia smiled.

“Well, no matter how big an ancient tree is, its presence can’t shroud the entire land. Its seeds, on the other hand, will drift and spread in the wind, eventually growing into a forest. So I think you might not need to worry too much about that.”

Lydia said and came to a pause. Then, she said something totally irrelevant.

“Recently Erin doesn’t seem to be feeling too well.”

“…”

Upon hearing her remarks, Rhode’s eyes glinted.

Because at that moment, he recalled something.

Even though his dragon soul powers were scattered, he was still the Void Dragon in terms of race. On the other hand, Erin, as the dragon soul heir, had the race of the Dark Dragon, to begin with…

Since we are dragons and Lydia is beating about the bush…

At this thought, Rhode was bewildered.

It can’t be…!
