The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

Chapter 215 Floating Void City and the Taste of Freedom

Facing Ron's question, the old king hesitated for a long time, and finally he said:

"Vivienne was bathed in the blood of a titan when she was born. Maybe that's why she has the blood of a titan on her body."

Ron was not very satisfied with this answer.

He lightly tapped the colorful scale armor, and suddenly asked:
"Isn't the space gap between the Titan plane and Karen sealed? Where did the Titan's hard work come from?"

Ron seriously suspected that the old man might have concealed some key information.

Looking at the doubtful young dragon in front of him, the old king sighed and had no choice but to continue to tell the story of the past:

"14 years ago, I traveled around the entire Rose Kingdom, hoping to find the legendary floating city left by Karen's first demigod [mechanical lord] Wescley Beach."

Hearing the words [Floating Void City],

Ron's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was ecstatic.

It's really hard to find a place with broken iron shoes, but that person is in a dimly lit place!
It turns out that the Floating Void City really exists and was built by that genius goblin demigod?

No wonder I never found a clue.

There is no record in the Karen Encyclopedia that Wescley Beach built the floating city, and there is no relevant information left.

Ron estimated that there might be only the Rose Royal Family Secret Code left in the entire Karen with relevant records.

Although excited in his heart, Ron didn't show any waves on his face.

He didn't interrupt the old king, but let him continue talking.

The old king didn't notice the change in the young dragon's mood. He recalled the scene at that time and slowly told about the encounter between the king and the village girl.

"The floating city left by Wescley Beach is the crystallization of his life's painstaking efforts."

"According to the Royal Secrets, Wescley, the goblin demigod, spent hundreds of years building the flying city before mysteriously disappearing. Titan's Star Nuclear Bomb"

"I thought this weapon might help the Titans' invasion, so I used the name of patrol to explore the ancient ruins, hoping to find clues about the goblin floating city."

"But what I didn't expect was that instead of finding the Floating Void City, I met her during this exploration."

Speaking of this, the old king sighed again.

He raised his head and looked at Ron: "Do you know what freedom is like?"

"free?"

Ron frowned again.

The old king didn't seem to expect that the young dragon would answer, he said to himself:

"In that small town, I met her."

There was sadness and memory in the old king's tone.

"The girl was a free spirit who was raising a herd of cows on a farm and doing it for a living."

"She is the only person in the town who sees through my disguise. By accident, I stayed in her wooden house for one night. We talked a lot that night."

"With her, I gained a long-lost tranquility. When I told her about my goal, she asked me a question."

Ron couldn't help but interjected, "The so-called taste of freedom?"

The old king nodded.

"I gave many answers, but she just laughed and said nothing until the end."

The old king couldn't help recalling that night again.

The breeze passed through the window, lifting the girl's hair.

The silky milk dripped into the container, making ripples like ripples.

While boiling milk for him, the farm girl said with a playful smile:

"In my opinion, the smell of freedom is probably the smell of cow dung on the farm."

After hearing this, Ron wrinkled his nose slightly.

It was hard for him to imagine that the smell associated with "freedom" was actually cow excrement.

But he could feel an unspeakable emotion in the old king's words.

Such sentiments should not have appeared in a king.

The story between Vivian's mother and the king is definitely not the story of "the king's drunken sex" that Gandalf knows.

The relationship between them should be excellent, but I don't know why they made that kind of drama.

The old king paused and continued:

"For her, the smell of cow dung represents the aroma of the land and the real life. On that farm, she lived with the cows and enjoyed the feeling of freedom and harmony with nature."

"but."

The old king was silent for a moment.

He subconsciously glanced at the wooden bookmark on the desktop, and said in a deep voice:

"I deprived her of her freedom and forced her to return to the palace with me."

"But I didn't expect that group of Titans to be so crazy."

Speaking of this, the old king's wrinkled hand began to tremble slightly, and a hint of pain appeared in his cloudy eyes.

"After I returned to the palace, the seal of the space crack in the ground was temporarily opened by those Titans!"

"They don't know how to bypass the perception of the spirit body and directly cross the space gap."

The old king recalled the scene after returning to the palace, and still felt a bit of fear.

"Later, I carefully searched for relevant records in the secret tome, and speculated that it should be a blood sacrifice ceremony."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists unconsciously, with anger burning in his eyes:
"But to start this kind of blood sacrifice ceremony, someone in the main plane needs to offer sacrifices on their own initiative to start it!
"This shows that there are humans in the Rose Kingdom actively contacting the Titans to invade!"

"Unfortunately, so far I haven't found the guy who started the ceremony, otherwise"

The old king's eyes gradually dimmed.

He still remembers that day.

When the space crack in the ground was opened, the berserk power of the Titan was instantly released.

Fortunately, under the suppression of the plane, the group of titan gods could only maintain the combat power of demigods, which allowed the god-like Brian XVII to defeat them by tricks.

Even so, the royal palace was almost destroyed that day.

In the end, it was the cover of the nine magic circles that prevented the residents of the capital from discovering it.

Despite the efforts of the old king's spirit body to seal those cracks, some members of the royal family living in the palace were still contaminated by the blood of the titans.

This includes Vivienne's mother.

Under the erosion of the titan's blood, their bodies began to mutate, becoming extremely powerful and violent.

The old king continued sadly:

"I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to solve this matter before they mutated."

"I executed them all, including her."

He was forced to execute those who had mutated.

They were once the closest people to him, but now they are about to become uncontrollable monsters, no longer possessing human reason and emotion.

This was an unbearable pain for the old king.

Ron, who understood the cause and effect, sighed softly:
"So, Vivienne was corrupted by Titan's blood in the embryo?"

The old king nodded.

"Yes, after that accident, the blood of the Titans intertwined with the blood of humans, creating a unique existence like Vivian."

"In terms of blood, Vivian is actually a descendant of Titans and humans."

The old king's voice was a little hoarse.

Vivienne is the only child left by him and the farm girl, and the only trace of her existence left behind.

She has the blood of Titans and humans, and is destined to have a different fate.

The old king was well aware of this fact, and even though he painfully executed other infected people, he had no heart to treat his own daughter.

Gandalf secretly sent Vivien away that night, and the play of exchanging the civet cat for the prince was actually carried out under the nose of the old king.

You know, Gandalf is just a mage with the strength of a great magister, and it is absolutely impossible to play mirror magic in the royal prison under the supervision of a legendary mage to deceive the king's gaze.

perhaps
that moment
It was his father's emotions that overwhelmed the reason of the human king, making him choose to ignore the fact that Vivienne survived.

The old king knew Vivian's special identity and destiny well. In order to protect her, he chose to hide her existence and keep her away from danger.

He understands that his responsibility is to protect the kingdom and the people, but at the same time he is also a father, and his love for his daughter overcomes everything.

Ron and the little golden man stared at the old king silently, they could feel the sadness and helplessness in his heart.

Home and country, enmity and resentment, each side of the road is facing the sky. If he steps out, no matter which way he goes, he will never turn back.

But running a country often means making such difficult choices.

After talking about the events of the year, the old king looked at the iridescent young dragon and tentatively asked:
"Your relationship with Vivian."

The old king knew about Vivienne's summoning of a crystal dragon.

But when he thought of Vivienne's Titan's blood, he didn't take it seriously.

He also suspected that the dragon in front of him was the dragon summoned by Vivienne.

But his colorful scales are nothing like the crystal dragon reported by his subordinates!
As we all know, the crystal dragon is a nearly transparent white gem dragon species, and it is impossible to have colorful scales.

The old king naturally excluded the correct answer directly.

But what made him think about it was that what his daughter summoned was not an ordinary crystal dragon, but a legendary rainbow dragon!

The unequal information made the old king feel anxious.

He thought that the other party was dissatisfied with Vivienne's behavior of enslaving a dragon, and at the same time discovered the Titan's blood in her body.

"In case this heir has any dangerous thoughts about Vivienne"

The old king frowned and thought in his heart how he could let the man in front of him let his daughter go.

The old man tried to say:

"If you don't like it, I can arrange for her to leave the capital"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ron with a black face.

Just kidding, Vivienne is gone, you come to cook for me?

The travel goal in four years, you will complete it for me?
While complaining in his heart, Ron said with a serious face:

"Vivienne is not a tool that you can manipulate. She has her own right to choose, and she will determine her own destiny."

"But no matter what she chooses, I'm her biggest backing."

The old king and the little golden man looked at the iridescent young dragon with firm eyes shining with some confusion.

You two have such a good relationship, you should have said it earlier!
What is it that makes me worry? This is!
The old king took a deep breath, straightened up, and fixed his gaze on the iridescent dragonling.

"You and I will respect Vivian's choice and provide her with support and protection. This is also my last salvation."

The statuette standing aside also nodded in agreement.

He actually represented the extremely kind side of the old king, otherwise he would not have been willing to stay in the gap in the space for hundreds of years to protect mankind.

The iridescent baby dragon flapped its wings lightly, with a hint of satisfaction in its eyes.

"Very well, then let's talk about the next king."

"it is good."

After a while of communication.
"Ok?"

"What! You say you're not a king?"

The old king and the spirit body suddenly widened their eyes, looked at the iridescent young dragon in front of them, and lost their voice in surprise.

They originally thought that this young "boy" would be very willing to accept the throne, after all, this is a position above tens of millions.

According to incomplete statistics ten years ago, the population of Rose Kingdom has exceeded 3.4 million!
These are the cornerstones needed to become a god!
For thousands of years, under the regulations of the Kingdom, no one dared to intervene in the preaching of this huge force of faith.

Only the supreme scepter draws part of the power of faith with the help of the issuance of contemporary king's gold coins.

Even gods, facing the non-believers (meaning no formal beliefs, not pure non-believers) on the scale of the Rose Kingdom will be moved?
However, the two never expected that the other party would reject the country.

"Hey, I mean I won't be the king, but I still need the king's rights."

Ron raised his eyebrows and emphasized his thoughts again.

Ignoring the other party's reaction, he continued to speak slowly:

"I have already chosen the next king for the Rose Kingdom, and I will personally crown her, and Rose will welcome the first queen."

"Her? The Empress?"

The old king frowned, thinking about the meaning of these two words.

The old king ignored Ron's thoughts, and he began to think about the next king that Ron just mentioned.

A young girl's face, which she had only seen in photography, suddenly flashed in her mind.

With a flash of inspiration, he suddenly raised his head and said in surprise:

"Could it be that you want Vivienne?"

Ron nodded, acknowledging the old king's conjecture.

Seeing that the old king frowned and said slowly:

"However, she is helpless herself, although she has made friends with several young metal dragons."

"But according to the non-war agreement, those dragons can't support her openly, how can she bear it with her power."

"Tch, hypocritical human."

Ron smiled disdainfully, and looked at the pretendingly confused old king with playful eyes.

This old fox is still playing with himself.

As expected, this guy has completely inherited the existence of humanity. Although Ron is not mentioned in a sentence, every sentence refers to Ron.

"I"

The rainbow drake shook his head, interrupting the old king.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Ron looked at the human in front of him, raised the corner of his mouth, and said slowly:

"I am her biggest backer!"
