The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

The early morning sunlight shines through the towering spires of the Castle of Justice and falls into the magnificent hall, soft and warm.

Outside the castle, the morning mist gently lingered among the lush trees, as if covering this magnificent building with a veil, making it seem like a dream.

A few white pigeons perched quietly on the windowsill, occasionally lowering their heads to preen their feathers, enjoying this rare resting time.

However, the silence was broken by a sudden exclamation.

"Why?!!!"

Carol's voice echoed through the castle.

A few white pigeons were frightened by the scream and flew up, leaving the ancient castle with a slight sound of wind.

In the restaurant

Carol, who has golden curly hair and bright sapphire eyes, was staring at the empty dining table in disbelief.

She turned her head sharply and confirmed with Setsuna who was arranging the dishes:

"You mean, Vivian and Ron have left the capital and are going to the Orc Kingdom to play?"

Setsuna, who was standing next to her, was wearing a brand new maid outfit and was bending down to clean the table. Her movements were as graceful and calm as ever.

But now, there was a hint of helplessness on that increasingly mature and gentle face.

"It's a diplomatic mission to the Orc Kingdom, not a trip."

Setsuna put down the silverware in his hand and corrected softly:
"As you know, the new queen of the Orc Kingdom is about to hold a coronation ceremony a few days ago. She has also invited the two major kingdoms and many major forces to attend the ceremony."

"And Vivian is the leader of the Rose Mission chosen by the king. She will represent the entire Rose Kingdom to go to the orc capital, Kukunul, to attend the coronation ceremony of the orc queen."

After hearing this, Carol frowned slightly:

"What about Ron? He won't be chosen as a member of the delegation, will he?"

Setsuna shook his head slightly, a faint smile on his face: "The master seems to be very interested in the orcs' coronation ceremony, so he followed along."

"Damn it, how is that different from traveling?"

Carol pouted in dissatisfaction, put his hands on his hips, and his cheeks bulged like a fat pufferfish:

"Damn it, you didn't even take me with you on such an interesting trip!"

Her voice was filled with grievance and resentment, as if the whole world was unfair to her: "So you forgot the best teacher in the world just because you had an old love!"

Hearing Carol's angry complaints, Setsuna on the side couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly.

Since reconciling with his father and sister, Carol's personality has become more and more positive.

Her liveliness and playfulness seem to be like the flowers in spring, becoming more and more gorgeous.

Look at how angry she is now. She doesn't look like a mature vice-president of a magic academy at all. Instead, she looks like an apprentice wizard who has just entered the supernatural world and is mischievously curious about everything.

Or perhaps, this is her true repressed nature.

As the bards said: Suffering turns children into mature and stable adults, while happiness turns adults into childish children.

After experiencing too many responsibilities and burdens, Carol finally found her innocence and fearlessness. Perhaps it was because of the warmth and support around her that she was willing to let go of the burden in her heart and show her true self.

"Vivian told everyone about this at the dinner last week."

Setsuna smiled and explained:
"But you were still drunk at that time, Carol, so..."

As if she remembered something, a blush of embarrassment appeared on Carol's cheeks.

A week ago
To celebrate Ron's return, everyone in the Castle of Justice held a special dinner.

Including the Sphinx couple and little Lilia, basically most of Ron's familiar friends and relatives came to the banquet.

That day was also the first time Carol experienced the taste of alcohol since adulthood.

In order not to appear timid in front of friends and disciples.

Carol was so excited that she gulped down a whole glass of wine before anyone else raised their glasses.

But what she didn't expect was that the liquor brought by Loli Ortega (the female-faced Sphinx) was so strong!

It tastes as sweet as grape juice.

But within less than thirty seconds after just one glass, Carol, who had no alcohol tolerance, fell into a state of deep addiction.

In short - acting crazy when drunk.

This success resulted in Carol ending his day's schedule almost as soon as the dinner started, and he was sent directly to his room, and only woke up slowly when the sun set the next day.

In fact, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Carol's poor alcohol tolerance. That glass of wine was also a big problem.

Despite Carol's experience, everyone became more cautious about how much they drank, but after the party, more than 80% of the people still passed out drunk in their seats.

Even Ron didn't know the origin of the wine until later - it was originally a collection of a sun god guarded by the Sphinx couple.

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

Jian Shanna wanted to say something.

Carol quickly reached out to cover Setsuna's mouth, blushing, and whispered in a pleading tone:
"I only need to hear my stupidity once. Don't make me recall that day again."

The moment his mouth was covered, he blinked his big eyes as pure as ice crystals, and then the two furry blue wolf ears on his head shook left and right, indicating that he would keep it a secret.

Carol then breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in his seat, picked up the glass, and drank half a cup of brown milk with honey.

Just as the two were enjoying breakfast.

the other side

The entrance to the royal capital
"Hey?"

Vivian blinked her red pupils and tilted her head in a silly and cute way.

Looking at the large number of delegation members gathered at the city gate not far behind them, waiting for the order to set off, she asked again hesitantly:
"We're going to set off right away? We really don't need to wait for them?"

“Although the scenery along the way is beautiful, it’s not too late to appreciate it on the way back.”

In front of Vivian was a miniature baby dragon.

“Ah~~~~”

It's like I just woke up from a dream.

The mini dragon, coiled in the air and covered with colorful scales, yawned loudly.

He stretched out his two cute little paws, stretched his waist again, and finally opened his seven-color dragon pupils to glance around. Then he said lazily:
"I don't want to be jolted around in a carriage for a month like I did when I went to the Ibi Forest."

"Okay." Vivian nodded slightly, and then asked curiously, "But what is a rocking car?"

"I'll tell you later."

Ron shook his head and finally stood up.

Feeling the seed of the kingdom of God about to break out of the spiritual sea in his body, Ron nodded with satisfaction and finally perked up a little.

It was worth it that I had been infusing my divine power for two full weeks, and I finally saw some results.

But from now on, you can no longer rely solely on yourself to infuse divine power to give birth.

You know, just the process of urging the seeds of the Kingdom of God to germinate and break the shell reduced the divine power in Ron's body by a full half!
If the seed of the Kingdom of God is really to be grown into a towering World Tree, even draining Ron dry would not be enough for it to absorb.

Therefore, we must rely on some off-field forces.

For example - the power of faith.

"Okay." "Since we're not taking a car, then it would be best for us to go to the Orc Kingdom by water to Nashi City for supplies, then take a griffin to Halsm, and then go by land."

Vivian counted on her fingers, trying to recall the various modes of transportation in her mind, trying to choose the shortest route.

The white ponytail tied behind the girl fluttered in the wind, like a blooming white flower.

Looking at the girl's red crystal eyes, Ron smiled gently and interrupted her thoughts:

"Don't think so much."

He continued, with a hint of mystery and confidence in his tone: "This time, we'll take the express lane."

Vivian's eyes widened like a curious baby: "Express Pass? What is that?"

This time, Ron didn't respond immediately.

He twisted his body slightly, and a huge divine power enveloped his body, transforming it into a ball of light and instantly disappearing from Vivian's sight.

Next second

"boom!"

A beam of light with a diameter of several thousand meters and as brilliant as a rainbow shot up into the sky.

This beam of light illuminated the entire sky and attracted the attention of the entire royal capital.

The originally small black dragon shadow seemed to be freed from its restraints. It slowly spread out its slender and elegant limbs and rapidly expanded in the column of divine power.

The whole sky seemed to be shaken by His appearance.

The air was filled with a mighty and pure divine power, and the pressure was so shocking that people felt extremely shocked.

The entire capital could feel the presence of this magical power, and everyone who witnessed this spectacle held their breath involuntarily.

A huge dragon shadow slowly walked out of the light column and came in front of Vivian.

His scales were like the finest gems, each one sparkling in the sun and emitting colorful light, which intertwined to form a flowing galaxy.

The dragon head, like a fox-bubble dragon, is huge and majestic, shining with the light of wisdom and power. Its pupils are like two burning colorful stars. Wherever its eyes look, it exudes unparalleled majesty.

At this moment, Ron has removed his disguise, revealing his majestic true form as the Dragon God.

“This is the express lane.”

Ron's deep and majestic dragon roar was full of gentleness.

He slowly spread out his dragon wings that almost covered the entire sky.

The huge pair of wings stretched out like a sky curtain, and the wing membrane appeared translucent in the sunlight, like a materialized rainbow.

When the dragon wings vibrated slightly, the air currents in the air came suddenly like a storm. The slender limbs were beautiful and strong. The dragon claws hidden in the sheath-like structure of the claw core were like the sharpest blades. Every slight contraction contained the ability to easily tear the sky apart.

Wangduzhong

People looked at the giant dragon standing tall and were all shocked.

People who have been to Windmill Town and the Capaci Line feel a strong resonance.

Those who have experienced the power of the Dragon God firsthand have memories of the past echoing in their hearts.

At this moment, facing this scene, a deep faith was precipitated in their hearts. They even ignored the eyes of those around them, bowed their heads to the ground, and devoutly shouted "Lord of the Rainbow Light", "Lord of the Azure", and even a name that Ron did not want to remember.

Those calls were like surging waves, full of admiration and hope, and like beautiful wishes for the future.

Strands of the power of faith quietly flowed out from the royal capital like a trickle, brushing towards Ron, blending into his body, and enhancing his strength and majesty.

Just knead this power of faith into the seeds of the kingdom of God.

Ron leaned down, and the huge dragon head slowly stopped in front of Vivian.

"Come up and grab my scales."

"it is good"

Vivian nodded.
The huge dragon head hovered in front of her, but she did not feel any fear in her heart. Instead, she felt a sense of security.

conversation room

The slender dragon's tail swam in front of Vivian like a python. The inverted blade-like protrusions on the dragon's tail were like colorful mountains, blocking the sun's rays.

Vivian grabbed the scale without hesitation, feeling the dragon's strength and warmth, her heart filled with trust and courage.

Once upon a time, they were just like they are now, flying towards home towards the morning sun.

Although the destination this time is the Orc Kingdom.

But in Vivian's heart, as long as she is with Ron, wherever they are, that is "home".

"boom!"

Ron gently waved his dragon wings, and his body soared into the air like a rocket.

The air was accompanied by a deafening roar, and the surrounding air currents swept in like a violent storm. The entire city was almost shaken by this force, forcing people to close their eyes to resist the strong wind.

The people on the ground were all shocked. They looked up, but they could hardly open their eyes. They could only rely on their senses to feel the powerful force from the Dragon God.

Vivian's body also continued to rise along with the soaring dragon.

The outline of the city gradually shrank in her sight, becoming blurred and distant.

Holding the dragon's tail tightly, feeling Ron's powerful heartbeat and strength, her heart was also filled with an incomparable excitement.

"It's time to go to a new place with Mr. Ron again! New adventures are waiting for us."

She muttered to herself, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

But the next second.
"Get ready, we are almost there."

Ron's voice came into Vivian's ears against the strong wind, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her little face.

[Are we almost there? Didn’t we just start the journey? ]

Vivian was so stunned that she didn't have time to understand what this meant.

suddenly
The whole world seemed like the gears of a stuck clock; both the strong wind and the city below were frozen at this moment.

The flow of time seemed to be suspended at this moment, and even the whistling wind became silent.

In the next moment
The whole world reversed in an instant, like an animation with frames cut out!

The flow of time seemed to be pulled back.

Vivian looked down

The huge and prosperous buildings of the royal capital have long disappeared, replaced by the smell of yellow sand in the air.

The warm wind blew towards me, mixed with the dryness and mystery unique to the desert.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Vivian suddenly found that she was already above an endless desert.

Ron's huge body slowly descended in the vast sea of ​​sand. His huge size broke the silence of the desert and stirred up yellow sand flying all over the sky.

Look up
Less than a few hundred miles to the east, a stretch of green stretching to the horizon is faintly visible.

This green area is like a shining gem inlaid in the vast sea of ​​sand, symbolizing vitality and hope. It also represents the country with the largest number of non-human intelligent races in the entire Karen——

Orc Kingdom
Here we are! (End of this chapter)
