Chapter 131 People and Me Thousand Years Ago

At the same time, the Great Old Hall of East Doruma

For some reason, the Great Elder, who sent all the attendants, was sitting quietly in the hall with his head bowed.

Some long-standing memories gradually emerged from the bottom of my heart in silence.

"Are you in pain, Dragon Lord?"

Under the frozen snow-covered mountain, a huge black beast covering the sky like a mountain peak is lowering its head, looking down at a small figure below with a pair of golden eyes.

On the surface of the jet-black carapace, a large number of blood vessel-like fine marks are filled with flowing lava-colored coagulated blood, and the hard carapace of the head extends backward along the back ridge to form a fan-shaped structure.

【King of Life · Black Dragon】

As an existence whose danger level is still higher than that of the black dragon, whether it is the terrifying size and strength, or the [hot core] that is in the state of lava eruption all the time, it is enough to destroy everything with ease.

And after everything is destroyed, the cooled magma will bury the old past, and gradually give birth to a new life with the passage of time.

During this process, thousands of ancient dragon bloodlines originating from the lava-like blazing blood of the black refining dragon will gradually infect the creatures on this newborn land, and transform some of them into powerful creatures with special power—【 Cologne].

This is also the natural mission given by the God of Dragons [Zulong] when it was created.

"Thousands of blood vessels flow in the blood regardless of each other, you must feel very noisy."

The old man with a bald head and a cane stood on the snow field that was gradually melting due to the high temperature of the black dragon itself, and kept looking at each other very seriously.

Former Dean of the Royal Academy of Sciences - Pratt

"Roar!"

A solitary Yanwanglong hovering beside Lianheilong was obviously very hostile to humans. It roared loudly and was about to dive down and burn the opponent to death, but in the next second it was completely grasped by a huge dragon claw, and it was alive and well. Pinch burst.

[Indeed... an unusually loud noise]

A deep voice sounded from Platt's heart.

Why did you kill your own people all of a sudden?

Platt looked at the body of the Yanwanglong scattered on the ground in surprise, a little puzzled, but he continued according to the original plan:

"Have you ever thought about changing your way of life?"

Neither the coercion from the refining black dragon nor the Yanwanglong's tragic death in that instant had any influence on the old man.

He just tried his best to straighten his back and laugh.

【Human beings are always so strange, but I haven't encountered someone as interesting as you for a long time】

[Does it exist in a human body? 】

The golden eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts completely included the figure of the old man, and Lian Heilong shook his head unobtrusively.

[In the past tens of thousands of years, I have occasionally incarnated as a human... This is not a new experience for me]

"Is that really the case? In some ancient books, I have found a special race called [Dragon People] that is very similar to the current dragon blood people and also has the ability to transform into a dragon."

"It is said that in the dragon people group, there will be an existence named dragon people every thousand years, so it should be you?"

Seeing that the black dragon did not deny it, Pratt asked a seemingly irrelevant question while satisfying his curiosity: "I'm curious, where did those dragon people go?"

"You can't see their existence on the mainland today."

【The guy I crushed to death just now is their descendant】

【Secretly took refuge in the black dragon, secretly watched me, thought I didn't know, how stupid and ridiculous】

Lian Heilong's answer made Pratt stunned on the spot.

The other party's answer contained too many things. With Pratt's brain, it is not difficult to hear what Lian Heilong said inside and outside the meaning.

"As I expected, the relationship between you and the black dragon seems...not very good."

"However, those who used to be dragon blood, no, it should be said that they were dragon people, and in the end... all became ancient dragons?"

Platt let out a long sigh.

"From this point of view, it will only be a matter of time before the current generation of dragon blood warriors turn into ancient dragons."

Lian Heilong was obviously interested in the old man in front of him, so he didn't bother to urge him, but just looked at Platt who was in trouble with great interest.

No matter how many years have passed, no matter whether it has been hostile or not, it has always been deeply curious about the human species.

Although this race is not inherently strong, there are always many strange and interesting guys, just like this old man who is not amazing in front of him.

【Now, do you still have the confidence to stop me from moving forward? 】

【In addition, even without me, that despicable rager is enough to completely burn your last hope. 】

"That's not necessarily..." Pratt muttered, then turned to look at the black refining dragon above his head.

"However, although you said that you have incarnated as a human being many times, at best, you are just observing from the standpoint of a bystander?"

Pratt's statement made Heilong narrow his huge eyes in confusion.

It doesn't really understand what the other party means.

"Even though you have lived with humans, you have never tried to actively integrate, to intervene...to guide them."

"Just looking at it, you can't really appreciate the fun of being a human being."

Platt spread his hands and said with regret.

Black Refining Dragon narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, and the fiery lava around him became much gentler because of thinking.

Contrary to its ferocious appearance and the violent power it possesses, Lianheilong surprisingly likes to be quiet and alone, and does not lack the wisdom to analyze the essence of things.

In addition, although he didn't show it clearly, Pratt could feel that the Black Dragon didn't have too much biased malice towards human beings, and even on the contrary, they harbored indescribable kindness faintly.

Similar to the detached attitude of the Zulong, as long as human beings do not cross a certain line, they will never take the initiative to intervene in something.

[I admit that what you said is a bit interesting, but it is the will of God to destroy the Shurad Kingdom, and even I can't violate it]

[If you want me to stop here, then I can only say sorry in advance]

Black Dragon's response sounded in his heart.

"No, I don't want to stop you... The destruction of the Shurad Kingdom is already doomed, and I know this better than anyone else."

Platt looked at the direction of the king's capital behind his eyes with complicated eyes, and then turned his head to look at the black dragon above his head.

"Whether it's the sacrificial ceremony where Xiu Gulet sacrificed the whole family, or the [blood fusion] operation that produced a large number of human-dragon hybrids, there is no doubt that they have embarked on an irreversible path."

"The ancient civilization that once dominated the world in history seems to have done the same thing as us, and even went further, but in the end it was just submerged in time and forgotten by the world."

"Of course, in this process, your appearance has undoubtedly greatly accelerated their destruction, but at best it has only acted as a catalyst... The unlimited plundering of resources will only drag the entire race into a world of chaos. The abyss of disgust, and I agree with that."

Chapter 132 The Dragon and Me After Thousand Years

【You know a lot of information】

The words of refining the black dragon almost indirectly admitted some of Platt's conjectures.

But his topic obviously didn't intend to stop there.

"However, even if the Shreid Kingdom is destroyed, human beings will continue to survive tenaciously."

"Like a weed that has been consumed by fire, sooner or later it will grow again from the corner of the world."

Platt waved the crutch in his hands a little excitedly, but then coughed violently.

Although he had restrained his own strength, the high temperature around the Black Dragon still made the old Platt a little uncomfortable.

Unlike Noxie, he is a thorough researcher, and he is not considered a strong person.

Humans are interesting, but still so fragile.

Shrinking his strength again, absorbing all the molten liquid that appeared on the surface of his body into his body, the somewhat empathetic Heilong Lian said noncommittally:

[I don't doubt this, our gods have no intention of destroying human beings... Whether you believe it or not, everything we do is to protect this world, nothing more]

"Is that so?" Pratt scratched at the barren and clever man with some headaches, and then smiled slyly.

"But in this way, shouldn't you try what I just said?"

【Um? 】

Among the giant golden boy who refined the black dragon, there was a flash of puzzlement.

"I once saw such a sentence in an ancient book... The only lesson humans have learned from history is that humans will not learn any lessons."

"Although it is a bit convoluted, this is indeed human nature."

"But if you understand it the other way around, as long as the leader is not human, then it should be fine, right?"

"Hey, Dragon King..."

After talking to himself for a while, Platt seemed to want to understand something, raised his volume and shouted towards the high place:

"Since you are not going to completely exterminate human beings, but also want to protect this world."

"Then this time, it will be you who will lead mankind forward!"

The inconspicuous facial features of Lian Heilong froze suddenly, but soon turned into a thoughtful expression.

It roughly understood Platt's thoughts, and even felt a little moved after a long absence.

Contrary to the nature of the black dragon, although the refining black dragon has the power to destroy everything, but influenced by the mission given by the ancestor dragon, it actually prefers to create new things.

And in terms of creativity, no species can match humans... This is the main reason why it has always been so interested in humans.

However, right now, after all, it still has unfinished tasks assigned by Zulong...

Platt also saw Heilong's hesitation, thought for a while and continued:

"About the mission you were going to carry out to destroy the Shreid Kingdom...you don't need to think about it anymore."

Having said that, Platt's expression suddenly darkened, and his tone became low.

"The new king we created seems to have gone wrong. After devouring millions of lives regardless of the enemy or the enemy, he completely stood by your side... It will probably become the new dragon king of your dragon clan."

"As for the Shurad Kingdom, it ceased to exist a few days ago, and the only thing left now is a certain exile ethnic group who hastily fled to various parts of the mainland."

Sitting down with a miserable smile, Platt looked at the sky in a daze.

The huge mountain-like shadow dissipated at some point, and a giant with a height of almost 20 meters walked slowly in front of the old man with heavy steps.

"I said, can't you become smaller?" Pratt, who gradually adjusted his mentality, leaned on crutches with difficulty, and complained while looking at the giant who still needed to look up.

"This is the smallest size I can maintain."

Lian Heilong, who turned into a human, explained, and then stretched out his hand to support Pratt who was struggling to get up.

"As for the guide you mentioned, I'm really interested, but I'm not going to help you rebuild a new human kingdom."

"Wasting time on things that are doomed is one of the stupidest things in the world."

"That kind of thing doesn't matter anyway."

Pratt waved his hand, while looking at the gigantic dragon man in front of him, who unexpectedly kept the face of a young man, although it was outrageously big.

"There will always be an endless stream of careerists or so-called noble bloodlines to gather supporters and rebuild the country."

"By the way, why is your face so tender?"

Lian Heilong looked at Pratt, who had changed his previous serious personality and became unreliable for some reason, unconsciously twitching the corner of his mouth.

"Every human form of mine is a new life, and I will only turn back into my real body when my body dies or when my lifespan is approaching."

"Then why don't you become a baby..."

"Forget it, when I didn't say it."

Seeing that Lian Heilong turned his head away, with an expression that was not ready to continue communicating, Platt stopped the conversation resentfully, and turned to talk about business.

"My students, this period of time has barely gathered some population. If there is no accident, a village should be established in a remote location far away from the royal capital."

"Although the scale will not be very large at the beginning, it should be suitable as a test site... I have already thought of the name, so I will call it Kokot Village."

"Koket...does it have any special meaning?" Black Dragon, no, maybe it should be called a dragon man now, asked curiously.
