The most shameless alchemist in history

"Unhappy? Am I? Today is such an important day, how could I be unhappy?" Du Lei chuckled dryly.

"I feel like this is an incredibly wonderful day," Ellie said with a soft smile.

"Unbelievable? It really is. It's quite sudden, and it feels like a dream, not quite real." Du Lei agreed.

“But it is indeed true. Although I don’t know Mr. Dure very well and I have many shortcomings, I will study hard to become an excellent wife!” Ellie promised confidently.

"Don't say that. I'm the one who's in a mess, and I have nothing, yet I'm suddenly standing here... It's hard for me to adapt to this." Du Lei shook his head. According to his plan, he still had a long way to go, but suddenly he was elevated to a very high position.

“How could that be? Mr. Du Lei is an outstanding young man, even my father favors him. Given time, Mr. Du Lei will surely become a renowned figure across the continent.” Ellie shook her head, correcting Du Lei’s statement.

"Huh? That fat, ugly guy really said that?" Du Lei was stunned. He never expected that Ababa would give him such an evaluation.

“Yes, Father also said that Mr. Dure will be the savior of our clan and will be able to save us from disaster!” Ellie nodded heavily and continued, her eyes as bright as the night sky, like the most dazzling stars in the sky.

"No, no, no, he's exaggerating a bit. I'm not as amazing as he makes me out to be," Du Lei waved his hand.

"Anyway... I hope you'll take good care of me in the future, Mr. Du Lei!" Ellie winked at him.

“I understand, but I still find it hard to accept. I need to think about it carefully… Huh? What is that?” Du Lei hadn’t sorted things out yet; his mind was blank. Just then, he noticed a black streak of light flashing across the sky.

The night sky is black, and it is not easy to see black in the middle of black. In fact, the black streak of light was because it was surrounded by a white glow, which made it stand out, just like a shooting star. But shooting stars usually fall from the sky.

The meteor was hurtling towards the Golden Castle from the distant horizon!

"That? That couldn't be... Oh no, Mr. Dure, please hide it immediately!" Ellie was initially confused.

She didn't understand what the stream of light was for a moment, but soon a flash of inspiration struck her.

When she realized what was rushing towards her, her face suddenly turned pale, and large beads of cold sweat dripped down her forehead!

"What? Hiding? What's going on?" Du Lei was completely confused.

He had never seen Ellie with such a fearful expression since he had known her.

“There’s nothing to explain…” Ellie seemed a little anxious.

At the same time, a young man hurriedly walked over from the back passage.

"Ellie, and... Dure, how are you two?" The young man who walked over was Harry, Ellie's brother.

"It's alright for now, but what exactly is going on, and what is that...?" Du Lei squinted at the sky.

The black streak of light drew closer and closer, and he could roughly make out its outline.

This is something that flies at high speed.

"You all need to leave quickly. Leave this place to me and Father!" Harry's expression was unusually serious.

For a wanderer like him, whose footprints have covered the world, there are few things that can make him nervous.

"What? Leave? How can I do that? I want to stay with my father and all the clansmen!"

Ellie's attitude was firm; she would never choose to leave at a time like this.

"Now is not the time to dawdle, it's dangerous, it's coming!" Harry shouted.

He was somewhat anxious. No sooner had he finished speaking than the black streak of light flew over the Golden Castle.

At this moment, Du Lei finally saw through Liu Guang's true colors.

This is a black dragon with huge wings flapping!

Its enormous body hovered in the air, looking down at the castle from a superior position.

Du Lei had seen some amazing things before, whether it was the sealed cave at the bottom of North Mountain or the forbidden area of ​​Maple Leaf Academy.

But the beings he had seen were so insignificant compared to the enormous black dragon before him.

It is such a vast and magnificent existence; it comes from death, it is born from the shadows, and it brings destruction!

"This is... a black dragon?" Du Lei's eyes widened, and his voice trembled slightly.

In the brief moment of his astonishment, a roar resounded from the sky.

That voice, which penetrated straight to one's bones and soul, pierced through one's internal organs, causing every pore on one's body to open.

The word "despair" was deeply imprinted into my bones!

Countless streams of black light fell from the black dragon's body, like countless feathers drifting down.

It was like countless destructive musical notes.

Du Lei was initially stunned, unsure of what would happen next, completely overwhelmed by the black dragon's imposing aura.

He couldn't move an inch!

But soon the first feather fell to the ground.

At the same moment the feather hit the ground, a violent explosion rang out, shaking the ground completely!

If it were just an explosion, that would be one thing.

Dure clearly saw that under the bombardment of the black spherical object, a huge expanse of land had become a hollow, sunken sphere.

He had reason to believe that the sphere was swallowed up by the entire black sphere, which could reduce everything to nothingness.

Destruction has come!

576 Black Feathers

All of this happened so suddenly that people who were still immersed in the sea of ​​celebration were at a loss. The banquet had been going on for some time, and most of them were drunk. Even the women and children who did not drink chose to talk quietly on the grass.

Children were running around the trees. It was a beautiful and peaceful night to enjoy, a night that allowed them to completely relax from all the tedious things in the world. So when a black streak of light swirled above the castle, they were completely unaware.

"Come on, have another drink! We haven't had enough yet. It's been so long since we've been this happy." Someone was still urging them to drink.

"No, I can't hold on any longer. I'm going to pee over there, I'll be right back." Some people, unable to hold their liquor, waved their hands and got up.

"Hey, you're not trying to sneak away, are you? You have two minutes, hurry up and come back," his companion urged from the side.

The drunkard, who had gotten up, staggered away and walked to a deserted tree to relax. But just then, he glanced over and clearly saw something hovering above the castle. With a gust of wind, countless dense feathers fell down.

He stared at this strange scene, speechless. Not only him, but many others saw it too. If you disregard all other distracting factors and just look at the scene of countless feathers falling, it was truly magnificent, like a snowfall.

But it's not snowing season now. The harsh winter is over, and it's late spring. Soon, the height of summer will arrive. Besides, snow is white, but the countless feathers falling now are black—a black that represents death and destruction, a black that evokes despair.

"What...is this?" The drunkard stared blankly at the scene as he saw the feathers fall to the ground.

At the same moment the feathers fell to the ground, the once peaceful night seemed to be torn open by a giant black hand from the night sky. Under countless gazes, mountains and rivers were razed to the ground in an instant, the earth trembled, and the night sky let out the most mournful roar.

A child was climbing a tree and playing with his friends when a black feather landed on his head. A drunk man in the distance saw this and opened his mouth wide. Although he was still a little drunk, he didn't understand what was happening or what was going on.

But he had reason to believe that as long as the feather landed on the little boy, it would be enough to completely evaporate him and turn him into nothingness!

"boom."

Just as the little boy was about to be swallowed by nothingness, a golden barrier suddenly appeared above his head.

Almost at the same time, above the castle, a large amount of golden light appeared in the sky that had been churning with dark clouds.

The golden light, as intense as sunlight, poured down, making the night as bright as day.

Everyone instinctively reached out to shield their eyes, because the golden light was simply too dazzling.

Some of the bolder ones peered through the gaps between their fingers, but they didn't immediately realize what was in the air.

But then a loud roar erupted, and someone pointed to the sky and shouted uncontrollably.

"It's a dragon! It's a golden dragon!"

Yes, a golden dragon was circling in the sky, confronting the black dragon from afar.

The two were similar in size, and the black dragon that had been blocking out half the sky stopped.

As the two confronted each other, the other half of the sky also became the territory of the golden dragon, and the night was divided in two.

Half of the night sky was pitch black, a darkness even deeper than night itself, while the other half was golden.

Under the golden light, the black feathers disappeared rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, a golden protective shield formed above the entire castle.

"What's going on? There are two giant dragons in the sky! Am I seeing things?" People couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Yes, you're not mistaken, that really is a dragon! My God, the legendary dragons really exist, and there are two of them!"

"But they don't seem very friendly. Are they going to start a war? We're just mortals. Please don't start a war."

Some people clenched their fists in excitement, while others knelt on the ground in prayer; it was the only thing they could do.

While everyone was in a state of panic and shock.

At the highest point of the castle, someone was looking up at the battle between two giant dragons in the sky.

"Father, please let me join in! I also want to fight to protect my people!"

Ellie walked behind Ababa and looked up at the sky. To the average person, the battle between the two dragons was not very interesting.

But she knew very well that her brother was no match for the Black Dragon; he had simply gone all out from the start.

But it won't be long before the golden light is suppressed by the black dragon, and the earth will be shrouded in darkness!

"They came so quickly? We'd be happy to have another five years..." Ababa sighed with his back to Ellie.

Although he was still short and fat at this time, his silhouette appeared very long and tall.

"Father!" Ellie called out anxiously from behind him.

“Take them away,” Ababa said softly.

"I want to stay and fight alongside my people!" Ellie's attitude was resolute.

“No, you have to take these innocent people away from Golden City.” Ababa shook his head.

“But…” Ellie was not willing to leave like this.

“There are no buts. We’re the ones who dragged these innocent people into this. It’s time to send them away and let them return to their peaceful lives,” Ababa sighed.

“Father, didn’t you say that as long as Mr. Dure is here, we can…” Ellie remembered what her father had said.

“Even if he is the man in the prophecy, he hasn’t grown strong enough yet, so he can’t defeat it now. You should leave quickly, there’s no time left. Jintan, has everyone been gathered?” Ababa turned around and shouted.

"Reporting to Master, we have all arrived." Behind Ababa, the staff member who had been presiding over the matchmaking event walked over. He was dressed in an evening suit, and behind him gathered dozens of young men and women dressed as butlers and servants.
