Chapter 2790 In the Tomb
Chapter 2790 In the Tomb
Deep underground, at the end of the dragon race, in the burial ground, the final destination.
"An amusement park?!"
Because of her health condition, she had only been to an amusement park once in her life, and she barely got to play before having to return to the hospital due to excessive physical exertion. Wenqiu's eyes widened immediately, and she said excitedly, "Wenqiu's amusement park?"
"It can be understood this way."
The King of Sin nodded slightly, surveying the surrounding darkness that churned with an ominous aura, and said softly, "If I remember correctly, although you, Wenqiu, have considerable skill in the field of necromancers, the only specialization you can truly be proud of is [Plague], right?"
"Wow!"
Wen Qiu let out a soft gasp and turned to Ji Xiaodao excitedly, saying, "Brother Mo actually managed to say so much in one go!"
"Pfft~"
The girl couldn't help but chuckle, and said with a smile, "That's amazing. I thought he might have some kind of speech impediment."
The King of Sin ignored the girl's jokes and teasing, and continued casually, "Aside from [Plague], your [Flesh and Blood] specialization, while not exactly proficient, is still quite good. However, [Bone Control] and [Summoning] specializations are already considered weaknesses for you."
"Wenqiu is amazing!"
Upon hearing her beloved Mo-gege say she had weaknesses, the girl immediately pouted and said defiantly, "Even if I'm not as good as you, Mo-gege, Wenqiu is still pretty good among players! Even if I only use the [Bone Control] and [Spirit Summoning] specializations, taking down those weaklings is a piece of cake!"
The King of Sin looked down at Wen Qiu noncommittally and said in a calm tone, "So, you're only satisfied with things like 'cleaning up the small fry'?"
Wen Qiu: "...Eh?"
"You once said that you wanted to be remembered by many people."
The King of Sin knelt before the girl, took her pale and cold little hand in his, and whispered, "Whether you like it or hate it, whether you love it or not, you want to be remembered and cared for, right?"
Although she didn't know why Brother Mo suddenly brought up her little wish from before, Wenqiu nodded vigorously and said excitedly, "Yes!"
"..."
Knowing full well that the girl's life was already on a countdown, even people like Jiawen and Merlin, who possessed vast resources and social standing in reality, were helpless and could only watch as Wenqiu's health deteriorated day by day. Ji Xiaodao sighed silently and turned his head away.
"I promised you that I would help you fulfill this wish."
The King of Sin gazed into the girl's innocent eyes and said solemnly, "In this process, if you, as the protagonist, are willing to cooperate, I believe the process of realizing this wish will be much smoother."
Wenqiu nodded and asked curiously, "What if Wenqiu is unwilling to cooperate?"
"That's okay."
The King of Sin looked calmly at the girl and said succinctly, "I will find a way."
"Thank you, Brother Mo! Brother Mo is the best and the most amazing!"
Sensing the other party's 'sincerity,' Wenqiu immediately cheered, then rubbed her little hands together and said in a serious tone, "But Wenqiu is definitely willing to cooperate with Brother Mo! After all, it's Wenqiu's own wish. Although I'm very happy to rely on Brother Mo, I'll also feel embarrassed!"
"You don't need to feel embarrassed, because it was something I promised you."
The King of Sin stood up again, glancing at the 'seeds of plague' that had been silently summoned by the girl and had been annihilated by the cold and majestic pressure before they could even spread, causing no ripples here: "However, if you really want to 'cooperate' with me, merely being able to clear out the small fry is far from enough."
Wenqiu tilted her head adorably and asked curiously, "Is it really not enough? Even someone as amazing as Wenqiu isn't enough?"
“You’re not good enough. Even within the realm of ‘players,’ there are at least three people who surpass you in either the [Bone Control] or [Summoning] specialization.”
The King of Sin nodded slightly and said softly, "Those people will inevitably become our obstacles in the future. Sweeping them away, defeating them, and crushing them is the shortcut to making people remember you. But all of this is on the premise that you cannot have such obvious flaws as you do now, especially in your area of expertise."
Wen Qiu chuckled and asked, "So, Brother Mo, you mean you want Wen Qiu to help you fight or do bad things in the future?"
"You can understand that."
Placing his right hand on the girl's head, the King of Sin asked softly, "Anyway, you weren't exactly a good child to begin with, were you?"
"Isn't Wenqiu a good child?!"
The girl was immediately stunned upon hearing this and quickly turned to Ji Xiaodao for confirmation, "Sister Jidao! Brother Mo said I'm not a good child! Is Wenqiu really not a good child?"
"No."
Knowing full well what the girl in front of him had done and what she had done, Ji Xiaodao nodded without hesitation, and then said calmly before the girl's face turned aggrieved, "But bad kids have their fans, so it's okay."
Wenqiu paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly from the bottom of her heart and asked, "So, Brother Mo and Sister Jidao both like Wenqiu very much?"
"Ah."
Ji Xiaodao gave an affirmative answer without hesitation, and then added, "By the way, I don't consider myself a good person either."
"It seems you have made up your mind."
Although the girl didn't give a proper answer, the King of Sin, who had already guessed the answer, didn't continue chatting with her. Instead, he lightly snapped his fingers and said, "Sparrow."
“I haven’t given you permission to call me by my name yet, you rude scoundrel.”
With a cold snort, a half-dragon who looked to be about twenty years old, with cold golden vertical pupils, long flaxen hair, wearing silver light armor and with wings on his back, suddenly appeared in front of the King of Sin. He said with an unfriendly expression, "I should have warned you not to bring the hustle and bustle of the mortal world into this noble, solemn and dignified place."
"He is the gatekeeper here, the dragon lich Sparrow Davian."
The Sin King ignored Sparrow's warning and instead looked down at Wenqiu, who was full of curiosity and seemed to want to touch the latter, and introduced him: "For the next period of time, he will do his best to teach you. As far as I know, although he is an arrogant mediocre talent, after becoming a Dragon Lich, at least in the [Summoning] specialization, this gatekeeper is now qualified to guide you."
Wenqiu: "Wow! That sounds amazing!"
Spyro: "What the hell are you talking about..."
"As for the [Bone Control] specialization."
The Sin King interrupted the Dragon Lich expressionlessly, saying calmly, "There are excellent 'materials' everywhere here. Make use of those remains whose souls have completely dissipated; it will be their honor."
"Listen, monster with ominous power."
The guardian of the Dragon King's Tomb, though weakened to the Epic Realm, still retained the aloofness and arrogance of his former self. He stared intently at the man before him, a man whose power grew with each appearance, a man so terrifying he sent chills down one's spine. He coldly declared, "No matter what, this place is not to be desecrated..."
“This place has been desecrated from the moment I broke in, Spyro.”
The King of Sin shook his head and slowly walked towards the tomb door, which exuded the same ominous aura as himself. Without turning his head, he said, "Take good care of her and prove to me that you deserve this 'reward'."
"What nonsense are you spouting? I—"
Sparrow couldn't continue speaking, because the moment the King of Sin finished speaking, he suddenly felt a familiar yet strange power surge from the depths of his soul. It was the power of life that he was born with, yet had long since lost!
Although this 'life' had already been poisoned and priced, for Sparrow, whose obsession was strong enough to transform himself into a dragon lich, it was indeed a 'devil's temptation' and a price he could not refuse.
"asshole!"
So Sparrow could only grit his teeth and glare at the sin king's retreating figure, angrily shouting, "I will be nailed to the pillar of shame!"
"..." However, the King of Sin did not stop. He and the tall, beautiful dark elf beside him walked slowly through the door and disappeared in the next instant.
"Damn it!"
The dragon lich... or rather, the one who could now be called the 'dragon sage', Sparrow Davian, clenched his fists, about to hurl another few harsh words, when he suddenly noticed someone tugging at his clothes. He looked down and was met with a pair of beautiful, large, watery eyes.
"Hello, uncle!"
The girl gave him an adorable smile that made Long's heart flutter, and said cheerfully, "I'm sorry, Brother Mo, for causing you trouble. But Wenqiu will definitely be good and try her best not to cause Uncle any more trouble!"
"you you……"
Like most dragons, Sparrow, who had very little resistance to 'cubs', clenched his teeth, his fists tightening and loosening repeatedly. Finally, under the cub's staring gaze, he sighed and said in a dry voice, "What do you want?"
"Wenqiu? Wenqiu wants to become stronger, just like Brother Mo said! So it seems she wants to play with you here, Uncle, and work on her weaknesses while playing!"
“I overheard your conversation just now… Look into my eyes, cub. Why are you willing to associate with that ominous person? A pure and innocent cub like you should be able to see the horror in him more easily.”
"Huh? Uncle, do you mean Brother Mo is scary?"
"Isn't he scary? Don't you think that monster is scary?"
"But for Wenqiu, Brother Mo is Brother Mo. No matter how scary he is, he is always very good to Wenqiu."
"You're quite easily bribed..."
"Huh? Isn't Brother Mo very nice to you, Uncle?"
"What are you talking about, that kid—"
"Brother Mo has brought you back to life, Uncle!"
"Ha, perhaps that's true, but kid, can't you sense that this is a life filled with sin and blasphemy, twistedness and evil?"
"But being alive is better than being dead."
"..."
"Uncle, don't you think so too? Otherwise, you wouldn't have become a lich, would you?"
"..."
"Wenqiu wants to live, and feels that being alive is good, so she's been happy for you, Uncle, ever since just now!"
"You little brat..."
"Congratulations, Uncle, you're alive!"
"Oh, that's true, thank you very much."
"Hey, you're welcome."
"Go ahead."
"Ah? What did you say?"
"Tell me what you desire from the great sage, the dragon with the greatest mystical talent in thirty centuries, Sparrow Davian, who has been reborn at this moment—knowledge? Power? Or loyalty?"
"Oh dear, this sounds like something really hard to understand!"
"My last pride is that I will never bow down to that monster who desecrated the Dragon Tomb, even if he gave me this sinful new life."
"Well……"
“But cub, I can give you the honor of sitting on my back.”
"Can I sit on your back? Uncle, you're so generous!"
Is that generous?
"Isn't it?"
"It's less about being generous and more about finding the least humiliating excuse for one's own despicable and selfish behavior."
"Is that right?"
"That's right..."
……
five minutes later
The burial ground, carrying an alternate dimension
"Welcome, my supreme 'King'."
In the center of the space filled with endless dark golden flames, a young man who looked to be only in his early twenties, whose body was mostly concealed by a black cloak as wide as bat wings, whose skin was pale to the point of being almost bewitching, whose long black hair cascaded down his back, and whose forehead was adorned with a single strand of golden hair, quietly appeared before the King of Sin and Ji Xiaodao. After giving a brief bow to the former, he turned to the latter and asked with great interest, "Is this the Queen? The Princess? Or the King...?"
"Silent Prayer."
Ji Xiaodao interrupted the dragon's incessant chatter and said calmly, "For now, let's consider him a fellow traveler."
"Fellow travelers? Haha, although our king's talent for direction is astounding, I don't believe for a second that you two aren't having an affair."
The young man shrugged, then gave Ji Xiaodao a flamboyant bow, raising an eyebrow as he said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is 'Jin.' It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Oh."
Ji Xiaodao nodded slightly, then turned to the King of Sin and asked, "So when did you sneak into this Dragon Tomb and meet such an annoying guy?"
Jin clicked his tongue and sighed, "This evaluation is really disheartening."
"How is the integration progressing?"
The King of Sin gently stepped on the enormous, jet-black dragon skull beneath him and asked indifferently, "I should have warned you that your time to squander freely is running out."
"Seventy percent, maybe eighty percent."
"how much longer?"
"I don't know, it could be a month, it could be half a year, or it could be a year."
"hurry up."
"Perhaps if you're willing to project more of your will onto my 'blood pact partner'."
"I will."
