People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

But then again, the current Nimgfu looked completely different from what he remembered.

The greenery covering the land naturally remained unchanged, but the prosperity was completely different, especially in front of the Storm Level, where there was a prosperous town that was no less prosperous than the town of Laska in Lienia.

And the diversity of species is not inferior to that of Kalia's rule.

Hybrids and subhumans can be seen among the people passing by, and even some huge mountain goblins can be seen.

Moreover, there were no chains piercing their chests, and their hands and feet were not tied. They accompanied the guards as they patrolled and guarded here.

It was a scene of prosperity and thriving. Perhaps it was because of the influence of Godwin and Kalia that Michaela made the holy tree have the aspect of equality for all beings.

"...But it's really quite different from what I remember."

"Hmm? Disciple, have you been to Nimgfu before?"

His casual mumbling happened to be heard by Se Lian, who asked curiously.

"Uh... sort of. Teacher, you should know that I'm not a native of the borderland. I'm a foreigner who came through the fog gate and later joined the magic academy to study..."

Reinhardt made up a lame excuse to deal with it, but after hearing it, Seren slowly typed a few question marks.

"...That's not right. I remember you were from the magical town of Ceria in Galid. That's what's recorded in the Magic Academy's files. I personally checked them out."

"!!!"

Reinhardt couldn't help but shudder upon hearing this. He seemed to have indeed forgotten the origins of his body. He scratched his head awkwardly and said perfunctorily, "Ahaha, maybe the academy's records are wrong."

"Oh, by the way, teacher, I remember there is an Ailei Church over there. Let's go check it out."

After saying this, he waved the reins twice, driving the horse under him towards the deep path in the woods.

I don't intend to continue discussing this issue with Seren.

"Haha, my dear apprentice, it seems I discovered your little secret..."

Watching her apprentice's figure gradually walking away, Se Lian couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. She felt that the mystery of the apprentice she taught seemed to have been revealed.

Although she had no intention of exploring other people's secrets, she was very interested in studying this apprentice.

After all, it is rare to find humans who carry the law, let alone the law of the sun that was once replaced by the golden tree.

Of course, it wasn't the kind of research that would be put on a test bench, but simply a desire to explore his knowledge.

Accompanied by the gentle breeze, the two figures gradually disappeared into the path in the dense forest.

-------------------------------------

At the same time, the Kalia Castle, located on the north bank of Lienia and built against the mountain ridge, also welcomed two uninvited guests.

"Roar--"

A deafening roar resounded through the sky.

Two huge and thick shadows were cast in the sky, covering the lake. From a distance, one could clearly see two ancient dragons with slate-gray scales, flapping their four wings and flying across the sea from the direction of the Yatan Plateau.

This roar seemed to be intended to remind certain people that the ancient dragon clan was coming to visit. No matter whether they were humans or other creatures, even the ancient ancestral spirits could not help but crawl on the ground and tremble.

In the border area, ancient dragons are synonymous with strength. No other race has such unique advantages as them. Not only do they have a long lifespan, but they also have the hardest scales and their strength is beyond imagination.

They even possess a life status second only to that of gods.

The suppression from bloodline makes all living beings dare not resist.

Even the people from the Magic Academy were frightened. They didn't understand why the powerful ancient dragon would suddenly visit the Heze land of Lienia.

Of course, even the soldiers in Kalia Castle were no exception, but they still formed a team and prepared to meet the enemy.

After all, this is Kalia Castle, a city they must defend at all times. Even if Marika comes to attack, they cannot let the other party set foot in.

Unless you step over their dead bodies.

"stop."

At this moment, Blaze, who was supposed to be guarding Lani, suddenly appeared and ordered the soldiers and knights, "Put away your weapons. This is an order from Her Highness Lani."

At first, the soldiers were a little reluctant. No matter how they looked at it, the roar seemed to have bad intentions.

After all, even the powerful pyroxenite dragon Adura and those finger insects were trembling with fear. They dug a hole and buried themselves, as if they were afraid that the other party would discover them.

But when they heard that it was Princess Lani's order, they put their swords back into their scabbards and put down their spears.

However, it was not only Blaze who came, but also a group of nobles, old man Iggy holding a huge stone hammer, and Kalia Knight Bols, who was also a mountain troll.

Bols walked out of the fortress and looked up at the giant dragon circling in the sky in the distance. He asked worriedly, "...Ancient Dragon, what are they doing in Lienia?"

As far as he knew, the Ancient Dragon Clan rarely appeared in the border area, and even their exchanges with the Royal City of Rodel on the Yatan Plateau were done out of necessity. Now they suddenly came to Lienia, and seemed to be heading for Kalia, which made him a little confused.

"I don't know either." Blaze also came out and shook his head, "But this is Lani's order. Let us prepare to welcome them."

"Welcome?" Bols frowned and subconsciously tightened his grip on the Kalia Knight Sword in his hand. "You are kidding me, Blaze."

"...Do you think I'm a jokester like Reinhardt?" Blaze glanced at the tall Bols and said disdainfully, "This is indeed Lani's order, otherwise those old guys wouldn't have followed us out."

"Well, you're right..."

Bols glanced at the royal nobles who were walking out of the city behind him and nodded in agreement.

Those old guys really value their lives.

...

On the other hand, a flying dragon was circling aimlessly in the sky, as if searching for something in Lienia.

Suddenly, the sharp golden eyes of one of the ancient dragons locked onto the Kalia Castle built on the mountain on the north bank.

As if it had found its target, it flew towards that direction at high speed with another giant dragon. In just a few seconds, it arrived over the sky above the Kalia Castle, casting a terrifying shadow.

After circling above for a few more times, it arrived at the open space in front of the city, and red dragon thunder filled the four wings it spread out.

Boom——

Thunder followed one after another, and dragon thunder poured down on the plain like a torrential rain, burning the green grass into black.

At the same time, two giant dragons also landed on the ground, and with a flash of light, two figures, a man and a woman, were revealed.

They were the brother and sister Lance Shanks and Ful Shanks who had appeared in the royal city.

"Excuse me, honorable ancient dragon, what brings you to Kalia?"

Blaze slowly stepped forward, and with a clang, he drew the greatsword from his back and thrust it fiercely into the ground, like a general, like Niou.

"Oh? I didn't expect to meet an orc here. And it seems that he is quite powerful and courageous. He actually dares to stand in front of us ancient dragons."

Lance Shanks looked at Blaze with interest, and the huge wings behind him flapped slightly, causing a strong wind.

In the distant past, the orcs had a close relationship with the ancient dragons, and they were a clan ruled by the ancient dragons.

The ancient floating port, Fam Azra, is a masterpiece of the orcs' ingenuity.

It's a pity that it has been damaged and is now gradually withering.

At the same time, the strong wind had already blown into the city, causing a gust of fallen leaves and blowing the planted trees to and fro.

The soldiers and royal nobles behind him were also blown all over the place, leaving only the steadfast knights and the tall mountain goblins still standing there.

"Well, not bad. It seems that there are more than just this one orc who possess strength and courage. You are qualified to talk to us."

"Then can you tell me, what is the purpose of your noble ancient dragon's sudden visit to Kalia?" Blaze repeated the question.

"Well, I deeply apologize for our intrusion. I came here to find Rani's knight, Reinhardt. I wonder if you could summon him. I'd like to speak with him."

This time, Lance Shanks put away his arrogance and spoke with some respect.

However, this respect is not for Kalia, but for this group of loyal, brave and powerful knights.

However, whether it was because Gu Long bowed his head or because the name Reinhardt irritated the royal nobles, they immediately jumped out and accused the two of them:

"Humph, the sinner Reinhardt killed Professor Servais of Magic and has been deemed a criminal by us in Kalia. We in Kalia cannot tolerate such a criminal!"

"Noisy."

The moment he finished speaking, Lance Shanks casually waved his claws, and a lightning spear made of dragon thunder shot out, piercing through the noble's chest and nailing him directly to the city wall.

It was burned to charcoal in the blink of an eye.

"I'm talking to the knights of Kalia. Do you have the right to interrupt me, an ant like you?"

There was a hint of disdain in Lance Shanks' voice, and his sharp dragon eyes were full of contempt.

"You...you dare to kill members of the royal family of Kalia. Do you want to go to war with the great Kalia?" Seeing fellow royal family members being killed, one of the nobles trembled and accused.

"Humph, you guys are worthy?!"

Upon hearing this, Fulshanks snorted coldly and rushed towards Kalia's people with the dragon's might.

The nobles felt as if they were being crushed by a huge mountain. They and the soldiers all crawled on the ground and couldn't get up at all.

Even several Kalia Knights, including old man Iggy, were suppressed to the point of kneeling on one knee, and only Blaze was barely able to stand in his place.

However, they were already cursing in their hearts.

What kind of stupid teammate is this?

Your noble status is only relative to Kalia. What do you mean outside of Kalia?

By saying this in front of Gu Long, are you trying to bring about Kalia's destruction?

"...We, the Ancient Dragon Clan, were defeated by the Royal City of Rodel and by Godwin, but it is not the place of a mere Kalia to dictate our decisions."

Lance Shanks walked forward slowly and spoke quietly, his calm tone as if he was stating a fact.

However, it is indeed true.

Today's Kalia is indeed not qualified to compete with the ancient dragon clan.

Although they, the ancient dragons, had lost their king, their gods, and even the great ancient dragon Gulansanks, and were on the verge of decline, their strength was still unquestionable. The strength of each ancient dragon was enough to rival a powerful demigod.

There is not even a god in Kalia, where only a god-man is in charge. They really don't need to take it seriously.

But then, Lance Shanks turned his gaze to Blaze, who was still standing there struggling to hold on, and chuckled, "Orc, I admire your will. Tell me your name."

"...[Half-Wolf] Blaze."

"Well, Blaze... I've got your name." Lance Shanks nodded slightly. "Blaze, I have a question for you about that ant just now..."

"... [Ancient Dragon Priest] Lance Sanx, if you have any questions, why not ask me directly? Why embarrass my people?"

Before Lance Shanks could finish her words, Lani's soft voice suddenly interrupted her.

Then, the light blue star-shaped glow gradually gathered into a human shape, and then slowly dissipated, revealing Lani's dignity and noble posture.

At the same time, as if protected, the pressure from the ancient dragon that was suppressing him suddenly dissipated.

"Your Highness, Lani!" The royal nobles all rose from the ground and said excitedly, "Your Highness, Lani, these abominable ancient dragons killed members of our royal family. You must stand up for us!"

"Yes, yes! These ancient dragons killed people over a disagreement, and they even dared to come here to look for the sinner Reinhardt..."

Other members of the royal family also echoed this.

But when Lani heard these words, she did not respond to them, but just glared at them slightly.

That look was filled with a chilling coldness that instantly silenced the group of nobles, not daring to say anything more.

They could see that Princess Lani was really angry.

"Oh? You finally agreed to meet me, Moon Princess Lani."

Seeing Lani coming, Lance Shanks raised a wild smile at the corner of his mouth.

"...If you simply wished to see me, then why did you not follow etiquette and come to the fortress as a guest? Instead, you murdered my people and subjected the knights of Kalia to such an insult?"

Unlike Lance Shanks' smile, Lani's pretty face was as cold as ice at this moment.

Even though those royal nobles were a bunch of good-for-nothings, they were still Kalia's people. How could they allow others to kill Kalia's subjects?

"Haha." Hearing this, Lance Sanx couldn't help but chuckle. "They are the ones who don't know etiquette. At the beginning, we were respectful of etiquette when speaking to your knights. They are seeking death on their own. I am only giving them a slight punishment."

"I just didn't expect you to be so weak, unable to withstand even a blow weakened to this degree... For this, I deeply apologize."

Lance Shanks stretched out his dragon claws covered with rock-gray scales and placed them on his chest, imitating human etiquette to apologize to Lani, but this apology was full of sarcasm.

Such insulting words also aroused the anger of the Kalia Knights. Even Blaze clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, wanting to chop it down.

But Lani stopped him with her eyes.

"Oh, not bad. You also know how to judge the situation." This time, Lance Shanks praised Lani, but the next second his tone changed and became serious: "However, I heard something from your rude subordinates. I don't know if it is true-"
