Throne of the North.

Chapter 456: Wheat from Blue Butterfly City, a Container for Collecting Human Beliefs

When Fuan and the executioner arrived at Blue Butterfly City, it was in chaos.

"Dead, all dead."

"It's terrible. Master Sharon's whole family was killed. It's over. It's over. It's over."

"What's going on here?"

Fuan and the executioner looked at each other, moved forward against the crowd, and finally saw corpses on the ground from a high place.

"I heard from people around me that these people were killed by the human warriors we saw before."

“They actually killed so many people…”

Both of them felt a little cold. Fortunately, they had hidden before, otherwise if they met those terrible warriors, they would probably die.

"They are human beings too, why are they killing each other?"

Fuan gritted his teeth and said that to him, Master Sharon and his family had only one identity, that is, they were human beings just like them.

"What are these people doing?"

The executioner looked ahead and saw many people scrambling to snatch things from the clean land, grabbing large and small bags into their arms, and then fleeing in all directions.

"They are stealing these things, which originally belonged to these people."

Fuan pointed at the bodies on the ground. No one came to collect the bodies of Master Sharon and his family. Everyone was nervously and excitedly trying to grab the wealth of Master Sharon's family.

"What? What are you doing? These are all the knowledge left by the Lord Dragon Chosen. You can't take them away."

“You can’t burn them!”

An old man fell to the ground, crying and hugging a man's thigh, who punched and kicked him.

"You damned old thing, the evil Master Sharon has been killed, why didn't those people kill you too?"

"This is my stuff, I can do whatever I want with it!"

The man angrily raised his fist and was about to hit the old man on the head, but was grabbed by Fuan's big hand.

Turning around and looking at the tall Fuan, the man swallowed, dropped a bunch of things and ran away.

"Since you want it, I'll give it to you."

Master Sharon's family still has a lot of wealth, so there is no need for him to fight such a tall and strong man for such a small amount of money.

Fuan ignored the fleeing man and looked down at the old man. When the latter looked up, he realized that he was a blind man.

The blind man is not blind. He shook his ears, then accurately touched Fuan's feet, and shouted tremblingly and excitedly:

"Dragon Chosen, Lord Dragon Chosen, you are finally back!"

"You call me the Chosen Dragon?"

"Yes, Lord Chosen Dragon, my ears heard the sea breeze blowing from the southern cape of Muspel, and it told me that you are the Chosen Dragon."

"You have the breath of a dragon in you, and you will lead humanity to defeat the evil dragon."

……

That night, Fuan and the other two stayed at Master Sharon's house. The house was very big, and they just stayed in the place where the blind old man lived before.

“Those people asked me the same question before.”

"Fortunately, they only killed Master Sharon and his family, and didn't kill us servants."

"Who are those people?"

Fuan asked curiously, and the blind old man shook his head, saying he didn't know either.

"They asked me about the information I knew about the Chosen Dragons, and also asked me about the locations of more than a dozen cities in Muspel, the southernmost cape, the easternmost mountain, the westernmost plain, and they even asked about information about Ethir, north of Muspel. They seemed to be very unfamiliar with this place."

"They also asked if anyone had ever killed a dragon before."

"I told them yes."

The blind old man was stroking a piece of wood with uneven carvings on it. These were the words belonging to the blind.

It's not that this world cannot give birth to human civilization. Just like the Blue Butterfly City, after only a hundred years without the rule of the dragon, it has evolved into a slave society.

The previous civilizations disappeared because of the dragons, and the remaining human civilizations are all related to dragons. They are a unique civilization centered on the dragon monarch.

"Lord Dragon Chosen is a force that belongs exclusively to us humans. Every fifty years, a Dragon Chosen will appear and lead humans to defeat the Dragon Monarch."

There are many questions in this sentence. For example, why does it appear every fifty years? If the Chosen Dragon successfully kills all the dragon monarchs, will there be another Chosen Dragon appear fifty years later?

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this sentence.

This means that a Chosen Dragon will appear every fifty years.

And this contains a message, that is, the Dragon Chosen One is bound to fail, providing the Dragon Chosen One fifty years later with suitable conditions and opportunities.

This condition is the dragon, the chosen one, oppression and resistance.

The dragons will not disappear, the Chosen Dragon will appear every fifty years, and the world will not change.

The blind old man continued to talk, and Fuan and the other man listened with fascination.

"Lord Dragon Chosen, I stayed here just to wait for your arrival. Master Sharon's family has done many evil things. They like to kill others. If I hadn't told others that Master Sharon was the owner of Blue Butterfly City, I would have been killed by him long ago."

"My eyes, he was the one who blinded them. He was afraid to look into my eyes because it would make him see his own falsehood."

"Fortunately, I survived. For the treasure under Blue Butterfly City, it belongs to Lord Dragon Chosen. Those people asked me about the treasure left by Lord Dragon Chosen before, but I didn't tell them."

The blind old man led Fuan and the other man and groped their way all the way into the deep underground of Blue Butterfly City.

"I will lead the Lord Dragon Chosen to obtain true power, the power to kill the Dragon Lord. You must believe that you were born to kill the Dragon Lord. You have the power to kill dragons in your body."

……

"The power to kill a dragon, is that reasonable?"

On Rhino Horn Mountain, Ryan looked at the news coming from Nidhogg's world.

"In the legend of the Chosen Dragon, if you master a sword and a suit of armor and smear the blood of the Chosen Dragon on the sword, you can kill the legendary dragon."

"Is this reasonable?"

Ryan looked at the extraordinary followers around him and laughed.

Everyone knows that this is unreasonable.

"Even if that sword and that armor are divine weapons, it is impossible for a mortal to kill a legendary dragon. The extraordinary world is not a game where you can defeat the enemy as long as the conditions are met."

"A legendary dragon can easily kill a mortal from a distance of ten thousand meters. Even if a divine weapon pierces the heart and shatters the soul, the dragon can still kill a weak human."

"Unless that mortal is not ordinary."

"Or there was something wrong with the dragon that was killed."

"Of course, the greater possibility is that both problems exist, and they are heading in both directions."

In the legend of the Chosen Dragon, Ryan heard of the dragon and the Chosen Dragon, but he did not hear the most crucial information about the existence of the Dragon God, the Demon Dragon, and the Dragon Emperor.

In a world with faith, dragons can gain power from human sacrifices, but no great being exists in their stories.

This is not reasonable.

Unless there was a patch he hadn't discovered yet that made this make sense.

"In the slaves' stories, the dragon is their master and their king."

"In the stories of the Chosen Dragon, dragons are evil beings, enemies they are destined to fight and kill."

Slaves, Chosen Dragons, and dragons, there is a closed loop.

"From the information we have gathered so far, most of the Esil in the north is still ruled by dragon monarchs. In the land of Esil, it is difficult for humans to know the name of the Dragon Chosen."

"But in the land of Muspel in the south, the dragons have been away from them for a hundred years, and the human settlements have formed their own reproduction heritage."

“Most of the prestige of the Dragon Chosen is concentrated in the land of Muspel.”

"I will send more people to get more information from Muspel, a land without dragons for the time being."

"And here in Ethil..."

Ryan looked at Rose, the dual extraordinary path at the peak of the Holy Domain. "Mr. Rose, I would like to ask you to take a look to see if those dragons have fatal weaknesses that can be killed by a sword and a suit of armor."

"Since that blind man said that a Chosen Dragon had done it before, let's take a look at how they did it in their world."

As his understanding of the world of Nidhogg deepened, the pressure brought to Ryan by the dragon was gradually reduced.

Because in the legends of that world, dragons were like paper and were killed again and again.

The long lifespan of the dragons is not realized in the legends of that world.

"If I can use the Dragon Chosen to kill those dragons, then there is no need for me to waste my energy and directly start a war against this world. When the dragons die, all the resources will become my wealth."

"Since most of the Chosen Dragons appear in the fifteen cities in the south to gain their own strength, we can provide them with some help from there."

Ryan looked at Brock, who nodded to indicate that some terrible weapon had been forged.

So Ryan's eyes turned to Sven, the bard.

"Find the Chosen Dragon. I want to know what kind of person he is."

After Ryan finished his instructions, he hurriedly left here and headed for the Mage Territory.

The Mage Territory near Rhino Horn Mountain was built because there are more and more magicians in the Frozen Territory, so Ryan simply allocated a piece of land to the magicians.

Master Yelena is here, and Ryan is very concerned about her research results on winter wheat.

Before, Ryan was hiding from Master Yelena because he had no way to solve the problems Yelena was facing, but now, the special wheat from outside the Blue Butterfly City has brought a turning point to the situation.

Ryan naturally became righteous.

He was very concerned about the results of the food. After all, among the five big nets covering Master Ryan, the big net about the two neighboring kingdoms had been gradually sorted out. Next, Ryan would naturally fight for the right to speak in the hands of the nobles of the North Wind Province within the empire.

If there is a main theme, the word "food" is undoubtedly on it.

"The first batch of seeds have been transformed, but I can't guarantee that they can survive in the swamp and germinate."

Mage Yelena was also a little nervous. Her face flushed and she was a little excited, because if she succeeded, the power fed back by the source of magic could allow her to reach a higher level of power, and she might even comprehend powerful magic that belonged to her alone.

You should know that in the magic academy, if a magician can hand in a unique magic, he can get a bonus ranging from 10,000 to 1 million gold coins.

This is not only a symbol of wealth, but also represents the conditions for a magician to be qualified to become a mentor.

Simply put, the path to becoming a great magician will become easy and enjoyable.

"The magic will favor these seeds."

It would cost a lot to grow food in the frozen swamp, and Ryan has prepared extraordinary resources to maintain the growth of these seeds.

"I will bring back more seeds from the other world. I hope they will be helpful to you."

Ryan said that during this period, many specialties were brought back from the world of Hogneed. The other world not only had humans and dragons, but also many plants that were unique because of their biodiversity.

"I heard that those dragons can also hatch special extraordinary resources. I wonder if it's true."

Ryan thought so, and he had already started to target those dragon kings.

……

In the dark underground world, the air in the passage is oppressive.

But at the end of the passage, there is an open underground cave.

The blind old man lit a fire, and the flames illuminated the surroundings, allowing Fuan and the others to see ancient murals.

The source of the mural is a giant dragon flying in the sky, which is so huge that even the mural cannot fully depict it. It spits out flames and burns an egg on the ground.

The second mural shows an egg cracking due to flames, and a young dragon emerges from it, crawling on the ground like a human baby.

The third mural shows a newborn dragon beginning to rule and wreak havoc on the world. Gradually, humans begin to appear on the mural, but in each painting, humans are the background of the dragon, or used to highlight the dragon's terrible and evil side.

"The raging flames melted the amber that had been sealed for countless years, giving birth to the first Amber Flame Dragon."

"That is, the first dragon monarch. The evil dragon ruled the world and brought destruction and disaster to mankind."

"Until one day, the Chosen Dragon appeared."

"He held a dragon-slaying sword and armor that was not afraid of fire, and he killed the dragon monarch."

The blind old man was talking about the last mural, in which a human being held a sword and pierced the heart of a dragon, ending all disasters and evil.

Behind the humans, countless humans were cheering and supporting their new king.

As for the back of the mural, it became messy, as if there had been a collapse, all the extra things were destroyed, and rocks were piled there.

"The sword that killed the dragon is right here."

The blind old man turned over the stones and finally found a long sword wrapped in linen and put it in front of Fuan.

"Lord Dragon Chosen, this is your weapon."

Looking at the rusty sword, Fuan frowned.

"It is powerful, but only the Chosen Dragon can wield its power."

"Lord Dragon Chosen, you are not yet able to fully bear this sword. You need to bear its power again and again. This sword will give you the power to destroy the world."

"Every time you pour blood on it, it will wake up once. After it wakes up ten times, you will be qualified to slay the dragon."

"Killing the evil dragon is the duty of every Dragon Chosen."

"Of course, you still need to find your armor. The armor can help you resist the dragon's flames. Otherwise, after you awaken this sword ten times, the dragon will sense the location of the Chosen Dragon and come to kill you."

The blind old man took Fuan and the other man back the same way.

"Lord Dragon Chosen, it's time for you to go. A place far away from humans is where you belong."

"Your existence will bring disaster to mankind. All humans who approach you will be destroyed."

"Until you kill all the evil dragons and lead mankind to the final victory."

Just like a novel storybook, the blind old man tells a story that seems inevitable.

Fuan and the other person also left here. They walked in the Blue Butterfly City and found that the people here seemed to live and work in peace and contentment than where they were before.

"That's great. Master Sharon is finally dead. Why didn't those people come earlier? My daughter wouldn't have to die."

There is no festive atmosphere in this world, but now it seems that the first festival has appeared, which is the first day commemorating the death of Master Sharon.

And every day thereafter.

"The Lord Dragon Chosen will appear. He will kill the Dragon Lord and we will no longer be enslaved by the dragons. The dragons will no longer appear and destroy our farmland. Then we will have a lot of things."

Among these people, Fuan and his companions also heard the word "Chosen Dragon". For the people here, the name of the Chosen Dragon did not seem to be a secret knowledge. Their fathers even had their own stories, such as following the Chosen Dragon to fight against dragons.

The dragon hasn't ruled Blue Butterfly City for a hundred years, and the people here have lost much of their awe of the dragon.

"Where should we go?"

The executioner asked. He didn't know what to do and could only ask Fuan, the Lord Dragon Chosen.

Fuan stood there without moving. In his ears, he heard many...many voices.

"The Chosen Dragon will definitely..."

"The noble Dragon Chosen will defeat the evil dragon..."

"When the Dragon Chosen kills the Dragon Monarch..."

Countless voices lingered in his heart, and the green flame burned even more violently.

What kind of power is this... Fuan doesn't understand, but he instinctively understands how to use this power.

"You want to gain power? That is the power possessed by the followers of the Chosen Dragon."

Fuan asked, and under the executioner's shocked gaze, the green light sank into his body. At that moment, the executioner felt that he could kill all the monsters he encountered along the way.

"what is this?"

The executioner was shocked beyond words, and after some hesitation, Fuan described it this way:

"It seems to be the power of faith."

"The power of faith that many, many humans pray for."
