Make the dragon great again

Chapter 158 Chief Manager: Obviously I Came First
The straight-line distance from Wanghai Castle on the north shore of [Bechymos Inner Sea] to the Land of the Ancestors is shorter than the distance from the capital of King Bechymos [City of Thunder] to the Land of the Ancestors.

However, there is an open sea area between the land of ancestors and the north shore, and there is no island in the middle that can be docked for rest. However, between [City of Thunder] and the land of ancestors, there is a land that is equivalent to one-third the size of the land of ancestors. A low-lying uninhabited island.

Therefore, now that ships cannot sail in this sea area, the only way for ordinary people to reach the land of their ancestors is to start from [City of Thunder], go north to the uninhabited island, and then reach their destination.

——The "ordinary people" here even include the so-called "heroes" of the Gaia species. All people who are below the legend and cannot control the magic power outside their bodies by will will all be in this sea area where the aftermath of the battle between fantasy species has not yet dissipated. Can only be regarded as ordinary people...

Ever since she witnessed Adrian's true self on the North Shore, a kind of call that seemed to come from the depths of her blood made it difficult for Aliya to restrain her urge to approach the pure white dragon.

However, the experience of carefully hiding her true identity and thoughts in the Holy Spirit Continent for many years prevented Alia from really obeying that inexplicable impulse to act.

Therefore, after calming down a bit, Aliya made the following analysis in her mind based on the information collected from all parties in Sirias Continent in the past three years:

That island is the ancestral land of the Bechymos Kingdom. According to legend, the successive kings of this ancient kingdom are buried there, and the royal family of this kingdom claims to be descendants of giant dragons... So this huge event that happened in the ancestral land The battle between dragons is absolutely inseparable from this country!

"I didn't expect that after going around in a circle, I ended up going back to the Bechymos Kingdom..."

As a fourth-order extraordinary person, Aliya went all out at an extremely fast speed. Despite the stormy weather spreading from the sea, it only took two short days to cross the [barbarian front] , Came to the northern border of Behemoth Kingdom.

However, as one of the possibilities she had originally guessed, the battle that took place in the land of the ancestors would not continue in order to wait for her to hurry. Shortly after Aliya entered the northern border of the kingdom, the two-day anomaly The weather faded away at a speed that caught people off guard.

This means that the battle in the land of the ancestors is over, just like the one three years ago, Arya missed the dragon again...

However, unlike the situation in the past when she almost lost all clues, this time, Aliya has truly determined that the Bechymos Kingdom is the primary investigation target, and she will not be distracted by other things...

It should have been like this.

After an abnormal rainstorm, the coastal road in the background of the kingdom was not easy to walk, so Alia chose to detour south for a certain distance and take the spacious commercial road inland that was not affected by the wind and rain to the capital;

However, when she came to the three-way intersection in the middle of the upper road in the northern border, she happened to see two obvious "black dots" flying over the forest in the distance to the south. Cleared the real body of two "black spots" - two "dragons" flying in the sky!
"Yeah, how could a mythical creature like a giant dragon live in an area where human activities are frequent? Isn't this piece of [Mulion Forest] and the [Roaring Mountains] deeper in the area inaccessible to giant dragons?" Would you like to talk about an excellent place to live? Follow the two smaller dragons, and there is a high chance that you will find their lair deep in the forest!"

Aliya didn't know that what she saw was not a real giant dragon, but a flying dragon whose blood was semi-purified and whose physical characteristics were closer to that of a giant dragon.

"Moreover, the strength of that white dragon is at least above the legend. The strength of the skeleton dragon not long ago, and the phantom species that fought with the white dragon later, their strength is above the legend... maybe after knowing the dragon Before the situation of the clan, it would be better to contact the weaker dragons first..."

Just like that, Alia, who had just made up her mind and decided to go to the capital of Bechymos a few days ago, was once again attracted attention and forgot about her decision not long ago...

……

In the depths of [Mulion Great Forest], near the southwest of [Roaring Mountain Range], there is a dungeon deep in the dungeon that has been called [Sage's Labyrinth], [City of Miracles], etc., but there is no official name so far. Alvarez rarely left his separate room on the fourth floor, and the arrangement and response to the passers-by was also temporarily handed over to the self-defense system of the dungeon.

As for Alvarez himself, he left the dungeon and was galloping towards the northwest while hanging at the feet of a mountain dragon that was good at flying.

He is rushing to support Tours who sent the message, or to put it another way and accurately: he is rushing to make merit...

Since Fay and Smaug received their real names from Adrian and were promoted to ancient dragons, Alvarez's heart has been surrounded by a sense of crisis.

As a lich transformed from the Gaia species and not accepted by the world of light, Alvarez looks sinister, cunning, and ambitious, but his knowledge as the king of a country in the second era let him know that he is actually a lich. In the future, there are basically only three possibilities:

I was bumped into by a brave man while being cautious, and was purified;
After his sanity was exhausted, he became an evil spirit that swallowed life unscrupulously, and then a whole country of supernatural beings swarmed up and was purified;
He is well versed in the method of survival, escaped the pursuit of the bright world again and again, and secretly advanced to grow again and again, but in the end because of the limitations of Gaia's origin, he was stuck at a certain bottleneck and could no longer improve. It took a long time. After time, he could no longer withstand the erosion of the laws of the world, and became an irrational evil spirit, which finally caused transcendental beings from half a continent to swarm up and be purified.

To sum up, there is actually only one ending, that is to be purified...

Adrian once commented on the ghost births of these liches like Alvarez in his heart: it is a crumb game that is doomed to end.

But the appearance of Adrian made Alvarez see a new dawn.

After voluntarily confessing his love and signing the soul contract, and finally getting a [contract ceremony] reward after "going through all kinds of hardships and dangers", Alvarez became more determined in his choice.

——following the strongest fantasy dragon who once dominated the Age of Gods!
At that time, whether it is participating in a large-scale war to cause death, or relying on the source blood given by Adrian to break through the restrictions of Gaia's origin, it will not be a problem, great!

In addition, although Alvarez's way of joining the organization is not glorious, he is still an early veteran, and he thinks that his qualifications and seniority are all there.

You see, Master Adrian has entrusted me with the important "Dungeon Defense System" to check it!This is an important job, and he really can't hold it for ordinary people!
So Alvarez worked diligently and tirelessly on the first three floors of the dungeon day and night, trying to show the demeanor of outstanding employees and strive to be the most beautiful guardian of the dungeon...

However, although he got a drop of source blood and a keel body from Adrian as he wished, the fast and powerful strength of Fay and Smaug, the two dragons who joined later, made Alvarez realize clearly The fact that "I am not a dragon after all, but an outsider".

It's okay for Fay to say, after all, he is a veteran who followed Lord Adrian earlier than himself, and seems to have the potential to become an inner chamber...... But the appearance of Smaug and the addition of other flying dragons who have been subdued by Adrian one after another , but really made Alvarez have a strong sense of crisis.

When Adrian went out, he took Smaug and the other dragons who came later with him. Alvarez didn't say anything, but he felt sore in his heart.

Why, I was the one who came first... It was the first time that I had the hope of surviving the curse of consciousness obliteration, and it was the first time I did something with so much focus. The two things together should have been double happiness... But, Why is this so?
They have signed the soul contract, and Alvarez can't escape or resist, so he can only hope to exchange his work attitude for the attention of Lord Adrian...

Just when Alvarez fell into endless anxiety and was eager to make a contribution, he received a message from Tours.

An unknown lich, suspected to be related to the [Barbarian Calamity] that broke out three years ago, is secretly preparing an army of undead creatures in the [Central Forest]!
This is big news!

Although [Central Forest] does not have many areas bordering the Kingdom of Behemoth, it is close to the [Eastern Corridor] and several weak sub-human nations. Once a large-scale undead disaster breaks out, it will definitely set off a wave of undead. It might be a disaster, and maybe it will create a legendary lich that breaks through the sixth level. At that time, the Behemoth Kingdom, which is Adrian's basic base, will definitely suffer.

Although there was some jealousy in his heart, Alvarez knew that this was also his chance:
Preventing such a major incident from happening, if it is handled well, it will be a great achievement, and maybe you can get a drop of origin blood bestowed by Lord Adrian!
Moreover, he may be able to get some useful things for the Lich in the process...

So, after urgently reporting to Adrian and getting approval, Alvarez impatiently hung himself on the paw of a mountain dragon and flew towards his destination.

——He wouldn't dare to ride on the heads of these flying dragons that Lord Adrian attaches great importance to, and once he did so, among other things, Fay and Smaug, the two dragon supremacists, would have him suffer...

The mountain flying dragon is indeed a flying dragon that has inherited part of the blood of the golden dragon. After being gifted by Adrian's source blood and undergoing semi-pure blood, this mountain flying dragon is still only a third-level strength, but its speed can even exceed that of a fifth-level dragon. Edmund the Magician flew from the dungeon to the [Central Forest], and it only took a little over a day.

When flying over a grand canyon at the junction of [Mulion Great Forest] and [Central Forest] in a narrow sense, Alvarez sensed an unusual aura flying fast above the forest in the north.

"A hero-level magician? This smell is a bit weird, a bit like those spell-casting priests who appeared briefly in the Second Era, but it seems to be mixed with something else... According to Tours' information, the lord of the cat-human clan A large number of commissions have been sent to the surroundings, and this human being is probably an adventurer who has received the commission."

Alvarez didn't think too much about it, his speculation was reasonable, and such things are not too rare.

However, he didn't want too many people involved in the next thing, and he didn't want outsiders to witness him, so in a state where his aura was completely hidden under the aura of the mountain dragon, Alvarez used a common communication magic, He delivered his voice to that unknown hero-level "adventurer":
"Adventurers over there, what happened there involves the interests of the dragon clan. I will solve it later, so you don't have to go there. Please go back and tell your employer the truth!"

With the reputation and deterrence accumulated by the Dragon Clan over the years, presumably a normal-minded adventurer would not risk offending the Dragon Clan after hearing these words, and move on...

The "adventurer" really slowed down and landed on the forest floor. Alvarez thought that his "warm reminder" had worked, and without thinking too much, he urged the mountain flying dragon to speed up to the incident. land.

This "adventurer" is exactly Alia who gave up going to [City of Thunder] and turned to follow the traces of the flying dragon.

Aliya slowed down and landed. In fact, it was the result of her taking the initiative to retreat cautiously after she noticed that an unknown powerful aura was approaching, and it was not the words of Alvarez that played a role;
Even Alvarez would not have thought that his "warm reminder" not only did not dispel Alia's idea of ​​going to the depths of the [Central Forest], but also confirmed some of her guesses and strengthened her determination to go there.

"Sure enough, it's the Dragon Clan!"

Aliya was very excited when she saw the "dragon" up close for the first time.

"The speed of that giant dragon is so fast! It is comparable to the flying speed of some patriarchs in the Church of the Holy Spirit. He went in the same direction as the two giant dragons before. According to him, that is not the lair of the dragon clan, but What happened to get their attention..."

Aliya's eyes flickered. Although she could feel the natural closeness to the dragon in her blood, she was a traveler from the earth after all, and she was a pious believer who used special means to sit in the position of the saint of the Church of the Holy Spirit. Alia's thinking tends to "not be afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice";
Therefore, without knowing whether the dragon clan will be hostile to her, it is a better choice for her to contact some relatively weak dragons from external events...

After the mountain dragon with Alvarez flying out of the range of mutual perception, Aliya quickly mobilized the power of her blood to her eyes, and with her greatly enhanced vision, she found the figure that had not completely disappeared from the horizon, and then Followed at a safe speed that would not be discovered, and unhurriedly.

Alvarez didn't know what kind of impact his words would have.

At this time, Alvarez and the mountain flying dragon had already caught up with the other two flying dragons that were closer to the destination but at a slower flying speed. Go straight to the large undead creature haunting scene that has already appeared in the field of vision and accelerate to rush...
