Chapter 708 A Key Is Needed

Yu Xia sat on an old and exquisite chair, her gaze sweeping over the hall she was in.

Charles had someone bring her and Flock here, and then they disappeared without a trace, nor could anyone else be seen.

An unknown, rich fragrance permeated the air, making one overlook the lingering stench of decay.

The wall lamps emitted a pale white and slightly yellow light, adding to the antiquity of this old hall.

The hall was filled with gold ornaments, including a gold clock, a small statue of a person holding a gold kettle, a small gold tree, and gold flowers that could be seen in almost every corner.

Even after thousands of years, these gold artifacts still radiate a dazzling brilliance.

"Clang!" Floch tapped the golden cup absentmindedly with his golden fork. "Gold, all of it is gold! Have they wiped out the Dragon family's stronghold?"

Hearing the voice in her mind, Yu Xia looked away and turned to look at him.

Floch shrugged. "Only dragons would like to use gold for everything; they have no taste whatsoever."

Yu Xia looked up at the relief sculpture at the top and said, "You're right, this should be the Long family's territory."

It should be said that it used to be.

In her line of sight, the relief above her head depicted a group of people in robes, praying devoutly under a giant tree. The people all had dragon horns on their heads and dragon tails protruding from their backs.

In the past, dragons and the golden race had a very close relationship. Even now, the dragon family still serves the Holy City, but they no longer undergo blood fusion with the golden race as they did in the past.

“This place isn’t too far from the old capital of the Golden Clan.” Floch looked up at the reliefs above them with her and said, “Although the ancestral home of the Dragon Clan is on the Sun Star, after being subdued by the Golden Clan, it has always served the Golden Clan faithfully. This was once a city of the Dragon Clan.”

Not only are there gold items and statues related to the Gold Clan everywhere, but even the buildings are much taller.

Although the "golden" family is named after gold, they don't use gold in everything. On the contrary, they use gold sparingly, opting for either simplicity or more vibrant and complex colors.

Looking at the reliefs, Yu Xia thought for a moment and said, "They chose to set up camp here because there is the aura of dragons here."

Floch: "The aura of a dragon?"

Yu Xia nodded: "I sensed it when I came in. It was very faint and unfamiliar. This city belongs to the dragons. Although it has been a long time, there should still be traces of their lives in the city. The sentinels that alien species fear most are dragons. There is a natural barrier here."

Floch propped his head up with his hand, listened, then leaned against her and lay down on her lap. "So do you think the Dragon Clan knows about this place?"

Yu Xia looked down at him. "There are no Dragon Clan sentries here, so they probably don't know."

Floch grabbed her loose hair. “The Dragon family still serves the Holy City and is more loyal to it than any other race. This shows that they value their heritage and wouldn’t be unaware of their own history.”

Yu Xia: "What do you mean?"

Floch: “Look up, and look again at those reliefs.”

Yu Xia listened to him and looked again at the relief above her head, carefully examining the figures with dragon-like features. At first glance, there was nothing particularly special about them.
She had seen similar relief murals in many places, not just among dragons, but also among those who once believed in gold, all of whom displayed such a devout attitude.

“There are still people like them,” Flock said. “As long as gold exists, there will always be people who want to recreate its glory.”

He raised his hand and lightly stroked the relief. "Those people were more thirsty and insane for the power of gold than you can imagine."

Yu Xia paused, then realized something. "You mean, someone within the Long family is colluding with Charles and his group?"

Floch: "If this place is, as you say, a former city of the dragons, and still has a protective aura, then it would definitely refuse entry to anyone other than the Golden Clan and dragons."

He looked up at Yu Xia and asked, "Tell me, how did Harrison and the others get in here?"

Yu Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Besides the people with golden bloodlines around him, the only other one is... Dragon."

Seeing that she had realized what was happening, Floch said, "Ordinary golden bloodlines and dragons won't work; you need to possess powerful bloodline strength. Ando, ​​this is the last line of defense in the old golden capital. To get in, you need a key, and gold and dragons are that key."

Yu Xia pondered: "So Charles and the others had been keeping quiet all along, waiting for me to walk right into their trap. They knew I would definitely come here."

Floch: "Even if you don't come, they will lure you here."

Yu Xia took a deep breath. "They've tampered with the Long family's affairs and the teleportation point."

Floch: "You finally understand. What they want is not just the Blood Nest. The Blood Nest breeds the Red God. If they want to control the power of the Blood Nest, they need to control the Red God. And gold and dragons are the nemesis of alien species. Only by controlling the power of gold can they control everything."

Yu Xia was puzzled. "Almost all the golden bloodlines are in the Holy City. Why would Harrison and the others risk coming here? And what about the Dragon family who colluded with them? You said they betrayed the Dragon family because of their desire for gold. Are there still golden bloodlines here?"

Floch took her slightly cool hand in his. “I’m not entirely sure what’s in the Golden City either, but they have one clear objective: they will bury all the sentinels from this mission here, including some of the people from the Holy City.”

Yu Xia was startled.

Floch: "You still don't understand what kind of person Harrison really is. He doesn't always succeed in possessing someone else's body; if he fails, he'll simply kill them. There's no power he can't control, only people's hearts he can't control. Power has no limit, but here..."

He pointed to his head. "A person's will is not easily controlled. He is a very patient person, but he will weigh the pros and cons. Obviously, rebuilding a holy city is more worthwhile than controlling the existing Ivi in ​​the holy city."

“Then we,” Yu Xia said slowly, with a hint of unusual sharpness in her voice, “kill him here.”

Flock smiled. "If I could kill him, I would have done so before he even entered the contaminated zone."

"What's your idea?" Yu Xia asked.

Flock paused for a moment and said, "He has too many bodies. Even if ten or a hundred die, new ones will appear. We need to make use of the power here. The Blood Nest must be destroyed, and so must he. Otherwise, if we deal with the alien species, we will be paving the way for him."

Yu Xia: "Using the power here, you mean the Golden Capital?"

Floch stared into her eyes for a moment, then lowered his gaze and nodded slightly.

Yu Xia wanted to ask more questions, but at that moment, sentries dressed in exquisite waiter's uniforms filed in, each carrying food served on a golden plate.
