Make the dragon great again

Chapter 131 "Extraordinary Power Belongs to Himself"

The capital of the Principality of Griffin, the City of Griffin, Griffinto.

This is a magnificent city with a long history even in the whole continent, and the Principality of Griffin, with this city as its capital, can also be regarded as a powerful country with a historical heritage that can surpass most countries on the continent.

However, in front of the neighboring country of the Principality of Griffin, the oldest kingdom in the entire continent and the most legitimate ancient kingdom among the human races—the Kingdom of Behemoth, all of this is more than a little inferior.

The predecessor of the Duchy of Griffin was another duchy of the Gorton Kingdom, another ancient kingdom that had already collapsed. It was also the kind that had royal blood and its lord legally had the succession order of the Gorton Kingdom.

The Gorton Kingdom was destroyed in the early third era, during the war between the Gaia species and the Longevity species, the once powerful kingdom was split into many small countries, and the Griffin Duchy is the only one of these split small countries that has survived until now and has surpassed An increasingly powerful country.

Due to some problems left over from history, in the past, when the Principality of Griffin faced the Kingdom of Bechymos, it was always short by nature and had an inexplicable sense of inferiority. After continuous decline, but Griffin's national strength is stronger, it has gradually evolved into a hostile attitude of latecomers to the aging predecessors...

Grand Duke Griffin stood on the top floor of the watchtower of the palace, looking at the bustling Griffinto, but his expression looked a bit gloomy.

The magical elements in the air suddenly stirred for a while, and a figure exuding golden arrogance flew in from the balcony.

"I remember you used to be reluctant to show your strength in the eyes of others."

Grand Duke Griffin glanced at his younger brother and said in a flat tone.

The person who came was the only direct hero of the Principality of Griffin, the half-brother of the current Grand Duke Griffin [Earl of Gold] Olef.

Oleff also seemed uninterested in Grand Duke Griffin's frivolous questioning.

"What's the point? Now that the world already knows my true strength, instead of hiding it like before, it's better to declare my strength to the outside world."

Grand Duke Griffin seemed to have no intention of continuing this topic, and instead asked about another matter.

"How's the investigation going?"

Oleff snorted softly, and the residual golden vitality accumulated in his body due to the long-distance flight spewed out from his nostrils, making his already lush beard more like a burning flame.

"Hmph... What Miles said is true. Not only is our continent completely blocked in terms of space, but even the underlying rules are restricted by some indescribable force... Go to the Magic Empire of St. Rand, use the information we have about the ruins, and make a deal with their [Senate], they let me visit an experiment, and the results of the experiment really proved what Miles said .”

"Experiment? What exactly is the experiment?"

After hearing Grand Duke Griffin's question, Oleff sighed, revealing a trace of confusion and melancholy that Grand Duke Griffin had seen for the first time in decades after he became a hero.

"Sigh... They let me watch a ceremony, a promotion ceremony for a magician who has been trapped at the peak of the fifth order for nearly a hundred years, trying to break through the legend."

Grand Duke Griffin understood that this ceremony must have failed in the end...

Olef went on to say:

"The magician is their first consul, Pertis, who is said to have become a legend in the outside world. Although in fact he has not reached the legend, his sublimation, whether it is body or soul, has already been achieved in my opinion. He has achieved the ultimate, and he has also successfully analyzed a legendary magic model of the high elves. According to the records of ancient books, he who has achieved this step only needs to complete a ritual to engrave the imprint of the soul on the corner of the bottom rules of the world. Promoted to Legend..."

"Did he fail in the last step of engraving the soul imprint?"

"Yes, I witnessed that scene with my own eyes..."

There was a trace of fear in Oleff's eyes.

"...At that time, the ceremony had already reached the final stage. With the assistance of four other hero-level magicians who were proficient in the four basic elemental magics, Partis had successfully modeled the legendary elven magic spell with spiritual power. Outlined in reality, and relying on the power of this semi-finished legendary magic itself, it affects the appearance of a trace of the underlying rules of the world;

"But just when the ceremony was about to be successful, a transcendent force of a level far beyond our imagination seeped out from the depths of the space, instantly obliterating all the extraordinary phenomena at the scene of the ceremony, even all the heroes including me As a super extraordinary person, most of the magical power, spiritual power, vitality and other extraordinary power in our body disappeared inexplicably in an instant!"

Hearing this, Grand Duke Griffin's pupils shrank slightly. As an extraordinary man, he knew very well what this phenomenon meant to a powerful extraordinary man who believed in "extraordinary power belongs to himself"...

After a moment of silence, Grand Duke Griffin suddenly said:
"Is there any similarity between that feeling and the feeling you had when you faced that giant dragon Adrian?"

Oleff had expected his brother to ask this question, but even so, he couldn't help showing a serious expression after talking about this topic.

"It's hard for me to describe that feeling, but...it's very similar! It's not a sense of similarity in the senses, but a feeling similar to some kind of 'revelation' based on the unconscious intuition of a transcendent, that This feeling is exactly the same as when facing the dragon, as if being pressed by the same thing in the heart!"

Oleff's description is somewhat abstract, but Grand Duke Griffin no longer needs to delve into the argument part of it in detail.

——The Dragon Clan is the culprit who blocked the mainland and locked down the bottom rules of the world!

The two brothers fell silent for a while.

After a long time, Oleff first broke the silence and said:

"Perhaps we can share the secrets of the ruins with the [Senate] of the Saint Rand Magic Empire. Based on their years of research on the [Continental Barrier], maybe we can find a way to bypass [Dragon Blood], which is a necessary opening material. .”

Grand Duke Griffin replied blankly:
"The relics are the key to revive the glory of the Gorton Kingdom, and the magic empire of St. Rand is far stronger than us, so we cannot share the secrets of the relics with them."

"But continuing to guard the ruins can no longer bring us any benefits. The legacy left by the Gorton Kingdom can no longer give birth to the next 'Golden Lion', and as long as that giant dragon exists for a day, we will forever Without the opportunity to obtain [Dragon Blood], we will never be able to open the door in the ruins, so what is the point of our planning for so many years?"

Grand Duke Griffin fell silent again, but this time he quickly took the initiative to break the atmosphere. He turned around and looked at his younger brother, and said with some emotional ups and downs:

"I can feel that your thinking has changed... Once, we deciphered the ruins step by step, and wanted to find a way to go to other continents through that door, all of which were just to follow the steps of our ancestors and restore the glory of Gorton , but now, you just want to escape from this continent as soon as possible, are you afraid of that giant dragon?"

Hearing that his brother was finally willing to tear off his serious face to question himself, Oleff laughed unscrupulously. Under the unchanging gaze of Grand Duke Griffin, Oleff said after laughing:
"My brother, my thoughts have not changed since I lost to you in the competition for the position of heir. The reason why you have such misunderstandings is because you got my goal wrong from the beginning."

Oleff turned around and stared at the eyes of Grand Duke Griffin, the sharp eyes flashing with golden flames confronted his brother tit for tat, and continued:

"From the very beginning, my goal was not to revive the glory of the ancient kingdom. Things that have been eliminated by the times should continue to lie in the heap of history! My goal is only one, and that is to pursue the ultimate of extraordinary power! I To go beyond the definition of mortals, I want to reach the realm of the so-called gods, and look at the world with that kind of vision that transcends everything!"

Olef's demeanor was a little crazy, and the golden vitality emptiness rose from his body, radiating a distance of several meters to the surroundings, but at the same time, there was an absolute persistence in his wanton swaying madness.

It was the first time Grand Duke Griffin saw Oleff like this, he was shocked visually and spiritually, coupled with the physiological reaction caused by the absolute suppression of the extraordinary power level, he subconsciously took half a step back, and then walked back behind him. Under the arrogance of the ruler and his brother, he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and stopped his steps of retreating.

Oleff's demeanor restrained a little, and the golden arrogance that permeated the surroundings slowly dissipated.

"Before, I didn't know about the [Continental Barrier], and I assisted you in completing those plans, just to find a way to go further from the legacy of the Gordon Kingdom... But now, since I already know that within this continent, I can't If I reach a higher level, then there is only one goal left for me at this stage, and that is to leave this continent!"

Grand Duke Griffin seemed to be getting to know his younger brother for the first time, looking at Olef who finally stopped hiding his heart, he was speechless for a long time.

"Sigh... Do the extraordinary powers belong to me? I finally understand why there are almost no mortal countries that can survive stably in the second era, and I also understand why the duchess of the kingdom insists on emphasizing Bechymos so persistently. Independence from the dragon..."

After a long time, Grand Duke Griffin finally accepted the reality with a sigh.

"Okay, I will consider your suggestion, but I hope you will not reveal the secrets of the ruins before I make a decision. You know, only I can open the core of the ruins."

Seeing that his brother finally compromised, Oleff also smiled.

"Don't worry, although I am not as obsessed with the glory of the family as you are, at least I will not betray the family."

Grand Duke Griffin nodded and said:
"If this is the case, then we have to change our plan... We can't move the dragon descendants on Behemoth's side, but the others are not protected by that Adrian, I remember The lizardmen in the swamp have always said that they are descendants of giant dragons, some kind of half-dragon people...

"Before deciding whether to contact the Saint Rand Magic Empire about the ruins, we can do some research on those lizardmen first, and maybe we can collect the blood of dragon descendants other than Behemoth, although even if we do, The purity should be far inferior to the real dragonborn, but anyway, the lives of those orcs are worthless..."

……

To be continued, change first and then change.

so tired, so sleepy...
