Seeing disbelief in Long Yi’s face, Tyl couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
"Look, I myself am a dragon. Why would I fret over such issues?"
Long Yi thought for a mont, it seed to make sense. There was no benefit for Tyl, let alone Long Yi, to twist the truth on such matters.
"Child, think about this. The Dragon Clan possesses mighty power, as well as robust bodies that complint their power, but they can never fully use that power. And the humans? Apart from having the skill to command such power, they have nothing else. Weaker bodies than a dragon, they would simply die off with one breath from a Giant Dragon. I truly cannot believe that the Dragon Clan and humans have any naturally suited relationship. Because if the Dragon Clan left the humans, the Dragon Clan would still be powerful, whereas if the humans left the Dragon Clan, they would be the weakest creatures in the world, even weaker than a wild beast since humans don’t even have sharp claws or teeth."
As Tyl peacefully presented his thoughts, Long Yi was reflecting on his words.
Indeed, Tyl made a very convincing argunt. Given the Dragon Clan’s power, they could easily stand atop the food chain without the need for humans. Yet now, they were willingly serving as mounts for humans, in exchange for a more powerful strength that they never needed.
"Does this have anything to do with the upper plane?" Long Yi asked.
"Although I haven’t found out the exact reason yet, it definitely is related." Tyl responded.
"I don’t understand, you are a dragon, why would you tell all this? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll reveal everything?" Long Yi beca even more confused.
"Because I firmly believe that the answers you seek are also in the upper plane. We share the sa goal." Tyl said.
"So, if you really find out that the Dragon Clan and humans are natural enemies, what will you do? Lead the Dragon Clan to war against humans?" Long Yi questioned, sowhat amused. Despite being a Giant, deep down, he still saw himself as a human.
"No, I simply want to discover the truth." Tyl answered.
"The truth about humans and the Dragon Clan?"
"No, the truth about Tyl’s death."
Long Yi knew that Tyl, the na of the old Black Dragon standing in front of him, had belonged to his previous Dragon Knight. After Tyl’s death, this old Black Dragon inherited this na. Generally, it was believed that Tyl had been killed in battle, but apparently, the old Black Dragon had a different view.
A servant passed by, and Long Yi gave back his plate. The series of events just now had spoiled his appetite. He scratched his head, wanting to say sothing, but was at a loss for words.
In the end, he firmly patted Tyl’s shoulder and earnestly said, "Uncle, hang in there!" and then he scurried away!
Even though Long Yi was curious, he wasn’t the type of person with an insatiable curiosity. He knew very well that to continue insisting on understanding sothing that even a two thousand-year-old Black Dragon couldn’t comprehend, would be a futile and potentially disastrous effort.
As for his own questions, Long Yi had a straightforward thod of dealing with them.
That was to do nothing.
Since it’s a matter related to the upper plane, he should wait until he enters the upper plane to figure it out. Racking his brains in this place would be a thankless task.
As Tyl watched Long Yi leave, a bitter smile hung on his face. He murmured to himself, "Even after making such a heavy promise, it seems he didn’t care at all."
At the present, the banquet had not yet begun, everyone was casually chatting. Ai Lin was being greeted by a variety of acquaintances, while Long Yi was gripping various foods to fill his belly.
Finally, the Emperor appeared. By his side were three Generals, the Commanders of five Dragon Rider Legions, and four Guardian Dragon Knights who were also close to the Emperor.
They were the foundation of this nation, the three Generals leading the Empire’s three land forces, a total of about 2.7 million troops. The Commanders of the five Dragon Rider Legions lead three thousand Dragon Riders, forming the entire combat power of the White Dragon Empire.
Their arrival drew everyone’s attention and finally gave Ai Lin a break. She instantly left the crowd and ca to Long Yi, her big eyes fixated on him, her hands gripping his arm, looking pitiful like a discarded little bunny.
Long Yi could only raise his hand in surrender, stuffing a pastry into Ai Lin’s mouth, instantly making her cheer up.
Long Yi spotted Elsa from a distance, he raised his hand to give her a wave. Elsa, who was searching the crowd, imdiately locked her gaze on the tallest figure among the crowd. Of course, Elsa also noticed Ai Lin. Today, Ai Lin was carefully curation her banquet outfit, but Elsa hadn’t co without preparations either. Her pure white dress adorned with light blue ice flower patterns, paired with a pair of white high heels, made her look like a lily.
Ai Lin stared at Elsa, clinging onto Long Yi’s arm. Elsa, on the other hand, gave a faint smile and subtly puffed her chest. Ai Lin was taken aback, gazing at Elsa’s chest and thinking to herself, "It must be an illusion! How did it get bigger?"
Long Yi, however, was completely absorbed in Elsa and hadn’t noticed the small dynamic between the two girls. He just noticed how exceptionally beautiful Elsa looked today, as if she was emanating light throughout her entire body.
Naturally, the Emperor saw Long Yi waving in the crowd too. In fact, everyone who was accompanying the Emperor saw Long Yi. Who could miss such a towering figure in the crowd. However, not many paid attention to Elsa’s reaction.
That included the Crown Prince. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote, and support us on Qidian. Your support is our greatest motivation. For mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
