As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

"As your divinity increases, coupled with external stimulation, the residual soul of the demigod is also becoming active. This will be reflected in your bloodline and will have a certain impact on you."

"Will there be any danger?" Roy thought of the so-called "possession" in his previous life, and suddenly felt uneasy.

"I was like that at first. Don't worry. The awakening of the demigod's residual soul will strengthen your extraordinary bloodline. It will do you more harm than good. You should even speed up the process."

On the issue of the "fake king," Rowling, who has spent more years exploring it, does indeed understand it better than he does.

Here it comes, the mother I've been waiting for is finally useful again!

Roy humbly asked, "What should I do specifically?"

"Eat well, drink well, and sleep well."

Listening to Rowling's matter-of-fact tone, and looking at the golden-winged griffin sleeping like a dead pig beside him, Roy couldn't help but doubt his life.

Is this method really reliable?! To awaken the demigod's residual soul and strengthen my extraordinary bloodline, does that mean I have to sleep like a pig?!

Chapter 65: The Rise and Fall of the Dragon Clan

When sleeping, the mind is most relaxed and the most sensitive to the power of the soul.

Falling into a deep sleep is the best way to accommodate other souls - at least that's what Rowling said.

Roy originally thought it was stupid to do so, but when he thought about the times when he witnessed the path of the previous king and witnessed many memory fragments while he was asleep, he felt that what Rowling said made sense.

In the spirit of trying everything, Roy leaned against the big furry griffin and quickly forced himself to fall asleep.

--------

The dragon roars long.

The dusty past emerged with the wind, and after a long time, it was awakened again with the vibration of blood.

Different from his previous perspectives, Roy did not have the same empathy as before, but rather looked down on other people's memories from a God's perspective.

In fact, this memory does not even belong to a person.

Under the clear blue sky, the dragon wings vibrated and soared.

Huge giants walk on the earth, graceful elves dance with the wind, the fiery lion king roars on the mountain top, and between the flawless sky and the rolling sea of ​​fog, countless dragons fly across the sky.

The First Age, the Age of Mythology, was an era when human civilization had not yet emerged and the world still belonged to the gods.

There is no lack of disputes in the Linli of the gods at this moment. The flames of war among the gods have caused the lives of all living beings to be stained, but after the war, peace has been the main theme for a long time.

This is simply because many demigod leaders do not want to see disputes.

The most dazzling among them is the leader of all dragons, the lord of the sky, [Dragon King Bahamut].

The Dark Gold Dragon King possesses unparalleled power, but he does not bully the weak; he possesses extraordinary wisdom, but he does not pursue personal gain.

The fair Dragon King treated every race equally. Even the human race, who had not yet mastered supernatural powers at that time, could live and work in peace under his command.

It was a truly beautiful time that seemed like a myth.

However, the better the past was, the more confused Roy became.

He couldn't understand what had happened to cause the leader of the dragons who ruled the sky to lose his power and end up dying in a dry tomb.

But no matter what, peace cannot last forever.

Unrest gradually broke out on the mainland, and dissension began to emerge among the major races.

Many demigods stepped forward and worked tirelessly to try to save the situation, and the Dragon King naturally could not stay out of it.

But at this critical moment, something worse happened.

War broke out.

For the first time, the invincible Supreme Dragon Clan fell into civil strife among its own clan. The clear sky was stained scarlet by dragon blood, and the earth was devastated by dragon roars.

The culprit is none other than the Black Dragon Nidhogg.

Roy wasn't too surprised by this.

According to legend, Nidhogg, like Fafner, fell into madness and bewitched a large number of dragons, challenging his father's authority. This civil war was also a turning point for the dragon clan and even the entire mythological era to decline. A large number of similar poems have been passed down to this day and have become the most reliable historical materials for people to study the First Age.

Just as people who believe in evil gods will degenerate into cultists, dragons that are contaminated by filthy power will also degenerate into evil dragons. There is nothing wrong with the Dragon King cleaning up his own clan.

But when the Black Dragon and the Dragon King fought under the setting sun of blood and fire, the truth revealed completely overturned Roy's cognition.

As the eldest son of the Dragon King, Nidhogg was second only to the leader of all dragons. Although he was powerful, as recorded in historical materials, he was still defeated by the Dragon King without any suspense.

But it is definitely not evil.

At least at that time, it had not yet fallen.

"You wouldn't hesitate to show your fangs to your compatriots, Nidhogg, are you crazy?!"

Facing the Dragon King's question, Nidhogg sneered cruelly and sadly: "Am I crazy?"

"Who is it that lends a helping hand to foreign races, while ignoring the interests of our own dragon race? Who is it that time and again, under the guise of unity, donates our dragon race's food and land, and uses our dragon race's blood to defend their peace?!"

The Dragon King said solemnly, "There is no distinction between noble and humble lives. Even those of other races are equally worthy of respect. It is our duty for the strong to protect the weak."

Nidhogg roared unwillingly: "That's if it can be done!"

"How long do you want to deceive us?! We can't even protect ourselves in the face of a world-destroying crisis, why should we help others?!"

"Father! Look at me and answer me, who is crazy?!"

The sudden truth caused a commotion among the dragons, and the Dragon King's expression changed for the first time, which also shocked Roy.

The [world-destroying natural disaster] mentioned by the first saint Angel is not false.

If there really was such a huge threat, it would be impossible for the mythical creatures to be unaware of it.

But Roy didn't expect that the crisis of world destruction would be so great that even mythical creatures trembled with fear.

From this perspective, Nidhogg's actions are not so difficult to understand.

The Dragon King's understanding is truly great, as he is willing to work together with other races.

But when facing danger, it is obvious to other dragons whether to prioritize protecting their own kind or protecting outsiders.

"Kid, you don't understand. Only by joining forces can we have a chance of survival!"

"That's right, a elusive ray of hope, a ray of hope that will cost countless compatriots, and one that we don't even know if it can even be realized!"

Nidhogg's angry rebuke seemed to pierce the dragon scales, making the king of dragons look a little haggard and lonely.

The loser should be punished, which is an iron rule applicable to any race.

But the twin black dragon bowed its head and pleaded for its elder brother.

That was none other than Fafna, who was later called the Evil Dragon by the human race.

"Father, please forgive my brother."

"Lord Nidhogg is thinking about our people!"

"Respected King, please spare your blood relatives!"

It's not just Valrhona.

From the seven great dragons to the newly born dragons, no matter whose ideas they support, they do not want to see more bloodshed and sacrifice at this moment.

The bloodthirsty tribe that Roy remembered was now praying for forgiveness and peace.

Perhaps it was praying for Nidhogg to change, perhaps it was thinking of the affection between father and son, or perhaps it was because the other party was the fake king of the dragon clan, or perhaps it just didn't want to see more blood.

After a long silence, the Dragon King finally retracted his claws and cast a complicated look at Nidhogg.

"In this mortal world, the only way to survive is to stick together. One day you will understand."

No matter what, the Dragon King still left a glimmer of hope.

However, the day it was looking forward to never came.

The majestic figure of the dragon clan fell with the sky, and the light and shadow of memory gradually faded, and was once again covered by wind and sand.

Whether it was the hope of uniting the races, the acts of kindness that protected the weak, or the hope for peace, all of these were forgotten by time. And when the dragons reappeared in the sky, they brought only the blood and fire that had spread from the First Age to the present day, so deep that even time cannot wash away.

Beyond the end of memory, Roy returned to the Tombs of the Kings after a long absence.

Inside the dark gold mausoleum, the old man slowly opened his eyes, as if he had had a long dream.

"At that time, I should have killed it."

A dull sigh, condensed with regret and sorrow that had not dissipated for thousands of years.

Chapter 66: The nth day he is away, I miss him

Roy could fully understand that Bahamut's regret was not without reason.

A moment of mercy resulted in greater sacrifices for both the human and dragon races.

Even if Nidhogg had not yet fallen at that time, if the hidden dangers had been resolved early, there might not have been so many disasters in the future.

Roy closed his eyes and whispered, "What happened in the past is in the past. There was nothing you could do about it at that time."

"Don't you hate me? In a sense, I am also an accomplice in causing this situation."

Bahamut's smile was a little sad.

"I failed to completely resolve the [World-Destroying Natural Disaster], failed to protect my own kind, and failed to protect humanity. In the end, I only sowed the seeds of a chain of hatred."

To be honest, no matter what the reason for the war was, Roy just couldn't like the dragon clan.

Even though none of his loved ones had been killed by the dragon's claws, the [Evil Dragon Society] had been ordered by the dragon clan to kill him.

No one likes someone who is targeting their life.

"Whether it's a dragon or a human, I don't hate anyone. But I really can't like the guy who wants to kill me."

"And the reason why I don't hate the dragon clan is simply because they didn't take away my loved ones."

"But no matter what, the dragon clan owes the kingdom too much blood debt. As a knight of the kingdom, I should avenge it all for them."

Bahamut didn't show any disappointment, but only smiled bitterly: "A reasonable answer."

"It has nothing to do with personal preference. Now that we've already engaged in war, the only solution left is blood and fire."

It admitted that it had expected to hear a more brilliant answer, but at this point, how could it entrust what it itself could not do to a mere mortal and expect this young man to end everything?

Bahamut did not dwell on sadness for too long. When he raised his head again, he had restrained all his emotions, and only solemnity remained in his eyes.

"It's not that easy to defeat Nidhogg. Your current strength is far from enough."

"Before the First Age, we made a blood pact with the Blood of the False King, promising to grant him strength when needed. The grudges between humans and dragons are long since untangled, but this promise is another matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bahamut's eyes lit up with a faint dark golden light, like golden stardust twinkling in the sky.

In an instant, Roy felt that the rhythm of his breathing, the beating of his heart, and even the fluctuations of his soul were in sync with the other person, as if they were no longer distinguishable.

This feeling was all too familiar to him.

【Blood resonance】.

Bahamut explained, "As you gain more divinity, the power of this old soul will become more and more perfect, and you will be able to control more and more of the power of the dragon race."

"Go and do what you are supposed to do."

Regardless of the grudges between humans and dragons, Bahamut has never wronged himself.

Thousands of years ago, it had done its utmost for the human race, and now, it had not violated the covenant it had made.

"Thank you very much." Roy returned the courtesy to the former leader of the dragons.

Then, consciousness surfaced and Roy returned to reality.

[Divinity: 5%]

[Dragon King's Blessing]:

[Power of the Dragon King]: The pressure from the former Dragon King can instantly solidify the opponent's extraordinary bloodline as long as the status is equal. The effect is more significant for the dragon clan.

In the battles with the [Evil Dragon Society] and the dragon clan, [Dragon Might] has made many contributions. Now this ability has been greatly strengthened and transformed into the pressure from the Dragon King, which can be said to be another hope of defeating the dragon clan.

The story of the dragon clan is worth sighing, but what happened in the past is in the past, and Roy does not think he is qualified to forgive on behalf of anyone.

As someone who carries the remnant soul of the Dragon King, perhaps he can do something for the dragon clan, but that is not the time.

Regardless of the reason, blood debt must be repaid with blood, and blood and fire are the only answers to this war.
