Elden Gulong in American comics

Although there are few attacks in the border area, with the expansion of the Holy Tree, many people also know Locke's name.

It is surprising enough that an ancient dragon can command the Holy Tree. Most people are guessing at what price Locke paid to gain the trust of the Holy Tree Twins. Of course, some people think that Locke is the spokesperson of the ancient dragon force. Now The leader of the Holy Tree is preparing for the return of the ancient dragon to the border area.

But Vic ignored these rumors. He knew that Gu Long rarely acted for those troublesome politics. The most likely reason for them to do something was just because they wanted to do it.

Maybe there is something in the holy tree that attracts this ancient dragon.

"That will be much more convenient. Vic the Faded One, please come with me."

Gu Long stretched out his finger, as if cutting glass, and drew it in mid-air. A blue portal opened from the air, exuding a mysterious aura.

"I need to talk to you about something."

Chapter 333: The Road to the King Made of Bones

From the beginning, Vic was very wary of the big force at the junction of the Holy Tree.

Originally, Mikaela had a very good reputation and was well-known as a good person in the border area. However, since the other party released the death rune, her reputation has plummeted and she even has a new nickname:

Rebel.

In the past, this title was generally given to those who committed the most heinous crimes. These people betrayed the Golden Law, and their status in the border area was even lower than that of the Faded. They were despised by everyone.

However, since the ring of law was broken, the title of rebel has become less intimidating. The decline of the golden law has allowed all kinds of monsters and monsters to emerge. In contrast, handing death back to Michaela at the border seemed kind-hearted.

Coupled with the existence of Gu Long as the regent, Michaela did not appear in front of ordinary people, so the Holy Tree was not too rejected by other forces.

After Gu Long sent out the invitation, Vic agreed to Gu Long's request. He followed Gu Long through the portal and came to the sacred tree.

Feeling the environment here, even Vic had to admit that this holy tree already had the momentum of the Royal City's golden tree, even stronger than the dying golden tree.

"Dragonlance Vic, Lance Sanks' favorite knight. To be honest, I grew up listening to your legend."

In the splendid dragon's nest at the root of the holy tree, the ancient dragon lay on a pile of gold coins with Marika's face on it, looking at Vic in front of him.

Lance Sanks is a female ancient dragon. She is also one of the few ancient dragons who are interested in the border area and humans. She still maintains a certain degree of integrity and is one of the people Locke communicated with when he was young.

Lance Sanks once told Locke a story about the man in front of him. The Vic in the story was like the protagonist in a knight novel, young, handsome, powerful, and with a kind heart.

"So don't be nervous, in a sense our goals are the same."

With that said, Gu Long glanced at the gold coins and treasures around him, sighed and said, "Wait a minute, there are too many things here. Where is the chair?"

After a while, Gu Long used his tail to pull out an armchair from the pile of gold coins and placed it in front of Vic. The other person was holding his witch in his arms and was a little at a loss.

"Put her on the ground, closer to the roots of the tree next to her. This will help her recovery."

With that said, Gu Long pushed aside a few gems to reveal an open space. Vic placed the witch on the open space. The surrounding tree roots revealed a faint golden light, which made the witch's face look better.

"Sit down, sit down, maybe some tea?"

No matter how you look at it, an ancient dragon lying on a pile of treasures asking you if you want tea seems a bit weird. Vic shook his head and said in a daze:

"You seem a little different from the ancient dragons I've seen."

"Oh, don't compare me to those Alzheimer's guys, I'm still young, so I think fast."

Gu Long shook his head and said that most Gu dragons are always taciturn and occasionally make some meaningless roars, not because they like it, but because the long time has made them sluggish, like walking zombies.

In contrast, those young flying dragons are much more talkative. Many flying dragons will talk in the sky and make laughter that can make people feel scared.

"Not to mention this, Vic, you failed and did not light the fire, but I do know how you got those two big runes."

Vic smiled bitterly and took out two large runes. These large runes were fragments of the magic ring. When the magic ring was broken, they appeared in the hands of each demigod. They were the necessary materials to repair the magic ring.

It is said that only two are enough to regenerate the magic ring, but now that the golden tree is closed, it cannot be repaired even if it wants to.

"It was Lord Lance Sanks. She got the big rune from somewhere and gave it to me." Vic hesitated for a moment, and then said.

Gu Long spat out some sparks in surprise, then smacked his lips and said, "It seems like she has sacrificed a lot, and that guy Menggert killed two birds with one stone."

Lance Sanks is a dragon who likes to stay in the human world. During the Shattered War, she stood on the side of the royal city and became the ancient dragon that must pass through to protect the royal city.

Even now, she still guards the royal city and is as loyal as the most loyal knight.

Perhaps Mengt reached some agreement with her, asking the other party to hand over the big rune to Vic, supporting the other party to become a quasi-king.

For most demigods, their power comes from their own blood and long-term accumulation. The big rune is just a decoration, and it will not affect the power of the demigods after being taken away.

Of course, except for rookies like Xiao Ge.

But obviously, Vic's road to becoming king was not smooth. His witch failed to ignite the flames, but was burned half to death. If Vic hadn't taken action in time, the witch would have been a ball of ashes on the top of the snowy mountain.

"You may be thinking about finding other flames to burn the golden tree, but to be honest, this strategy is not smart."

Gu Long lay there, looking at the knight in front of him with a pair of golden dragon eyes:

"Actually, your method is right, but the fire is not strong enough."

Vic nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:

"What kind of powerful fire do you need? Can it be at the level of a demigod?"

Looking at Vic who was about to make a move, Gu Long chuckled and said, "What, which demigod are you going to use as firewood?"

"Of course it's the limb-repairing Greg." Vic said quickly, then lowered his head and pursed his lips knowing he had made a mistake. Gu Long shook his head. Although Xiao Ge is very weak, it is not that easy to be used as firewood. .

"If you want to ignite a flame, you can't throw it down by force. To ignite a flame, you need the voluntariness of the fire."

Gu Long turned to look at the witch next to him. The other person blinked and looked at Gu Long blankly. Apparently he had woken up. Gu Long continued:

"When recalling the faded ones, Queen Malika sent the fire at the same time, but the fire disappeared."

"Dragonlance Vic, the quasi-king closest to the King of Elden, I need you to help me find the fire."

"In this way, maybe your witch can avoid being burned by the flames."

Vic lowered his head, and deep breathing came from the helmet. Then he raised his head, his voice was a little dry:

"I just want to ask one question, the ancient dragon of the end, how far am I from the King of Elden?"

Gu Long was silent for a moment. He had been collecting relevant information over the past few years, and finally pieced together the truth about the Faded One with Mikaela.

"Your body is a container of blessings, and when the magic ring is broken, the blessings are scattered throughout the junction and exist in every living being."

"As you continue to kill, the blessings in your body will become more and more, and you will become stronger because of the blessings."

"When you walk across the border, stand on thousands of corpses, and see the Dharma Ring, the blessings in your body will also become the material for recasting the Dharma Ring."

"Perhaps you will become the King of Elden, but by then, there won't be many people left in the Junction."

Chapter 334: Crazy Vic

Vic walked out of the sacred tree in a daze. His spirit was not very good. The witch was still receiving treatment in the sacred tree, and Vic was allowed to recuperate in the sacred tree for a period of time.

He felt that he needed to sort out what had happened recently, in order to find the fire and to see his destiny clearly.

It feels uncomfortable to be arranged by someone, especially being arranged to die. Thinking of this, Vic wandered around the sacred tree.

The Holy Tree has changed greatly compared to before. The shop built with cement and transparent glass windows is covered with ceramic tiles. The scattered tiles make up the shape of cologne, and bread with an attractive milk smell is sold inside.

There are few wheat-producing places around the holy tree, but the power of the holy tree means that the people here do not lack wheat as a staple food.

With enough sugar and milk, the diet of the residents of the Holy Tree has become richer. Due to the local sugar production, the meals here are always very sweet. Even the barbecue must be sprinkled with some sugar to make the food more sweet. The surface of the meat has an attractive caramel color.

Vic bought a piece of bread and put it into his mouth. The rich sweetness made him squint his eyes. Even in the royal city, he had never eaten anything so sweet.

On the street in the distance, a group of children were running around. This was very rare in other places. Due to years of war, villages in many places had even turned into ghost lands, leaving only ruins standing among them.

Looking at the children playing the game of tag, Vic smiled. Among them he saw short, monkey-like demi-humans, as well as orcs with thick hair and beastly faces, and some with wings and scales. There were mixed species, most of which were human children. They were running on the street, making bursts of laughter.

To Vic's surprise, whether these children were orcs, demi-humans or hybrids, they all looked slightly different from those Vic had seen before.

These children have become much more handsome, and it is obvious that they are getting closer to human appearance. Vic looked at the shining leaves of the holy tree with a thoughtful expression.

Those who grew up under the royal city were always a little proud. Bathed in the light of the golden tree, they became stronger than those in other places.

Vic thought to himself that maybe the sacred tree had a similar effect, making these children smarter and more beautiful.

"The power of the gods is truly terrifying."

Sighing at the power of the demigods, Vic continued to walk forward. He saw knights patrolling the streets, clerks running in a hurry, and mages reading books on the street. Finally, he came to the Holy Tree. edge, looking down.

He saw a huge ship.

Vic once followed King Godfrey on a ship to leave the junction, but that ship could only be regarded as a small sampan compared to the existence docked under the holy tree.

"The legendary black ship that can fly into the sky."

Vic murmured to himself that he had heard a businessman from Ashina talk about this ship. It was said that the ship flew from the sky in the storm and brought countless wealth to the land of Ashina.

In the description of the merchant, the ship can make giant dragons lie down on it, and the crossbows in it can destroy mountain peaks. Wherever the black ship soars, it is the place where ancient dragons rule.

Vic didn't believe this statement at first, but the moment he saw the ship, he completely believed the merchant's words.

Amid the roar of the storm, the giant ship below rose upwards and began to fly around the sacred tree.

Many passers-by saluted the black ship, which was a symbol of the ancient dragon's rule and the source of what made the sacred tree so powerful.

Vic didn't stay any longer and turned back to the residence Gu Long gave him. It was a house along the street. The furnishings inside were very simple, with only a bed and a desk.

This seems to be a newly built residential area. Next to Vic, there is a two-story building with flowers on the windowsill, which obviously seems to be inhabited.

Sitting on the bed, Vic closed his eyes. He was meditating, trying to calm his restless heart in this way.

"He's using you, you're just a pawn."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded in Vic's ears. He opened his eyes, but saw nothing.

But when he closed his eyes, he felt upset again, and the voice sounded in his ears:

"They are superior beings who are different from you from the very beginning."

"You are a despicable human being, a dirty faded person."

"Why not join us and let the world burn, good or bad, noble or dirty, all rolled into one."

Following the hoarse roar, Vic saw a ball of flame. The orange flame had the power to destroy everything and was burning in front of Vic.

In the past, everything was united without distinction between each other, but then it separated and became everything.
