After rebirth, one gold coin bought the Elf Princess

"After I retire, I will travel around the continent, see the customs and cultures of different countries, and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery. I will not fight and kill again unless someone provokes me."

After saying this, Roland turned to the VIP seats where representatives from various countries were sitting and said half-jokingly:

“I will visit all of your countries.”

The expressions of representatives from various countries changed instantly.

You stay away from my country! This is the consensus of almost everyone.

Whether friend or foe, they were all afraid of Roland's visit.

This guy is simply a typical jinx. Wherever he goes, something bad happens except him.

Seeing these people's expressions as if they were eating shit, Roland laughed, took off the crown, and handed it to the three major religious organizations that presided over the ceremony, allowing them to complete the ceremony.

When he ascended the throne, the three major organizations jointly organized his coronation, and the same was true when he abdicated.

Under his example, successive emperors of the Gracia Empire were very flexible in their beliefs, and it became a common practice for the three major religious organizations to be crowned together.

Seeing the three major religious organizations crowning the new emperor in a harmonious manner, other countries were extremely envious.

In their country, believing in a goddess is basically equivalent to offending other religions.

Although they were envious, they knew that this was what Roland got in exchange for hanging his head on the waistband of his pants, and it was impossible to replicate.

After the ceremony, Roland took off his imperial dress and put on his duke's dress.

He only abdicated the throne, but still retained the title of Duke of Heidelberg.

He is still a vassal of the empire, and as long as the country needs him, he can still go into battle and kill the enemy.

When the new emperor Romel conferred the title of "Guardian of the Empire" on Roland, representatives of other countries gradually realized that although Roland had abdicated in name only, he was still the ruler of the empire.

He simply stopped paying attention to trivial matters, maintained his aloof status, and cleared a wave of hatred at the same time.

Once something big happens in the Gracia Empire, Roland will definitely not stand idly by.

Unlike the citizens of the imperial capital who were reluctant to see the old emperor off, the representatives from various countries who came to attend the ceremony all looked unhappy.

They returned to the embassy one after another and wrote furiously to report back to their country what had happened that day.

As night fell, people were wondering how much the newly abdicated emperor would drink at the dinner, but they did not notice that two giant dragons were flying over the imperial capital.

The old emperor did not attend the dinner.

He is flying in the sky.

Roland soars in the sky, stretching his wings to his heart's content, enjoying the joy of flying freely.

It is a default rule that mortal humans cannot fly.

Except for the winged people, a sub-human branch that has a passive flying skill, other humans cannot achieve free flight even if they reach the peak of the sixth level.

A magician can achieve long-distance gliding through levitation + wind magic, but it is not flying after all.

Roland's Abyss Dragon's body is not stable. Except for the heart, everything else is simulated with energy, so it cannot support long-distance flight.

If there are no other dragons to help.

But he is not flying alone.

Serving as his flying assistant is the strongest dragon in this plane, the Dragon Emperor, a sacred dragon with the most orthodox bloodline.

He can enjoy the joy of flying.

No one knows how great it is to fly by skill unless they experience it themselves.

Watching Roland's wild flying style of sometimes diving and sometimes climbing, Valenie did not spoil the fun by paying attention to his safety, but silently adjusted the airflow to help Roland stabilize his flight.

She understood Roland.

The Holy Dragon had a very good memory. She still remembered the time when she flew solo for the first time and was so excited that she sang all the way.

It's embarrassing, but also beautiful.

She won't tell anyone.

She silently opened the crystal ball and recorded every moment of Roland's flight.

When Roland reaches the pinnacle of power and then shows him the crazy look he had in the air today, I wonder what this guy will say.

For some reason, she couldn't get used to Roland's calm and composed attitude.

That is the hypocrisy unique to the human race.

After flying for a while, Roland finally came to a stop.

It’s not that he was tired of flying, it’s just that he had reached his destination.

A desert with no notable landmark on the map, this is where he buried his claws.

While other bodies are more important, this is the one hidden location where the memory is clearest.

Just start here.

Following Roland's fall, Valenie looked around in surprise, but couldn't find any landmarks.

She took off again in confusion, patrolled a circle and landed again, smiling with a bit of self-mockery.

"As expected of you, Naimikar, you can actually accurately locate the location deep in the desert."

Roland's expression was a little stiff. He calmly corrected Valenie's name, "I prefer the name Roland. Namikar belongs to the past. He is dead."

Valenie knew that Namikar was a dragon name and Roland was a human name.

Roland was reminding her in this way that he was now a human.

Valenie raised her eyebrows and asked softly, "I'm curious, how do you identify the location?"

"Can't you do it?"

Valenie frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

If someone else spoke to her in this tone, she would have been angry.

But Roland is different.

He is also a super-class dragon, and the power of his bloodline is slightly inferior but not much different.

"Of course I can't." She raised her voice slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Roland laughed at himself and murmured, "If you can't do it, how can I do it? I can't even remember how many tens of thousands of years ago that was."

"Then how can you be sure it's here?"

"Astrology. Don't forget that I am also an astrologer."

Roland explained to Valenie how to determine the position using the constellations, and also explained to her the changes in the azimuths of the North Star and the major constellations over the past seven epochs.

The calculations are a bit complicated, but the result is clear: here it is.

The error in the circle with their location as the center is no more than one kilometer.

Valenie seemed to understand what he said, but she couldn't help but complain:

"Although I don't understand astrology, I still want to say that the desert is not suitable for hiding things. After all, there are no landmarks here, and it is very difficult to locate."

Roland smiled and shook his head.

"I know what you said."

"Then why are you still doing this?" Valenie's eyes widened.

"At that time, this was a large lake, more than 3,000 meters deep. I buried my claws under the boulders at the bottom of the lake and even built an underground palace."

Valenie understood.

This is probably what humans often refer to as great changes.

Volume 249: The Hero's Path: Chapter : The Divine and the Dead

The giant lake turned into a desert, and even with the guidance of the stars, its original location would change dramatically.

It's been way too long.

In order to avoid being discovered by others, Roland used various concealment methods in the place where he hid the claws.

These methods are useful for hiding, but now they have become the biggest obstacle to finding the relics.

Can this still be found?

Valenie was a little confused and looked at Roland.

Roland shrugged and said with a smile, "At least we have a rough direction. It's much easier than looking for a needle in a haystack."

"You're right. It's like looking for a needle in a big lake."

Valenie grumbled casually.

Perhaps because she felt that this statement was too discouraging, she added with a smile: "We have time. We have to find it even if it is buried deep."

Roland can indeed use a huge amount of energy to reshape his body, but firstly, the effect is not as good as the original body that has been trained to the extreme, and secondly, the consumption is very huge.

The cost of reshaping a peak sixth-level body is greater than training three peak sixth-level powerhouses.

The resources consumed by the Abyss Dragon to break through the peak of the sixth level are several times that of an ordinary strong man, and the cost of reshaping is even greater.

If he doesn't reshape his body, Roland's best option is to abandon the dragon's body and completely transform the dragon's heart into a magic prop.

Giving up according to the circumstances is also a kind of wisdom.

Roland thought silently.

No, I must not give up!

Valenie thought silently.

Although their ideas are very different, they are all driven by pragmatism.

Roland wants to become stronger, and Valenie wants to bring powerful external aid to the tribe.

So Roland was willing to give up the dragon's body, but Valenie disagreed.

If Roland gave up the dragon's body, the basis of his alliance with the dragon clan would be gone.

If there is no basis of common blood, marriage is necessary to consolidate the covenant.

However, there are no suitable women in the dragon tribe.

There are many powerful female dragons, but there are no female dragons.

If Roland loses his dragon body, a female dragon will have to maintain her human form in order to marry him.

There is no such candidate at all.

After spending three days trying to determine the range, Roland realized that it was ridiculously difficult to find a needle in a large lake. In order not to waste Valenie's precious time, he sighed and gave up.

"Valenie, thank you for accompanying me. However, the difficulty of the search is far beyond my expectations. It takes too much time and is a bottomless pit with no end in sight."

"so..."

"So you choose to give up?!"

Valenie's voice suddenly became louder, and the excited dragon roar startled Roland.

He was a little confused. They were clearly looking for his body. It would be his loss if they couldn't find it. Why was Valenie so excited?

Realizing that her tone was wrong, Valenie cleared her throat and lowered her voice, "I'm sorry, I got a little excited just now. I just don't think I should give up like this."

"You are a hero admired by everyone. How can you give up so easily?"

"I didn't give up easily. I tried, but it didn't work."

Roland explained softly, "Valenie, I never do anything that is not worth the effort, and I can't waste your time."

“Your time is valuable.”

Valenie's deep eyes suddenly flashed with a frightening cold light, and she said in a deep voice:

"The claws just can't be found, not disappeared. What if you can't find them and they accidentally fall into the hands of the enemy?"

"Do you have any idea?"

"Hire workers and dig thoroughly. As long as the claws are still here, we will find them."

Valenie said firmly.
