The Temple of Dragon God in Academy City was situated in the east, an imposing building that towered above all else. Its size outmatched even the City Lord Mansion, not out of any particular display of superiority, but practicality. After all, adult dragons frequented the temple and if it wasn’t built large enough, those dragons could hardly fit in or out.
Long Yi arrived at an unusual ti. If he arrived earlier, he would be t with many locals, burdened with bags of various sizes making their way to the Dragon God Temple. Their offerings included food, local specialties, and yes, the Dragon Clan’s favorite thing - gold coins. The people held a special reverence and generosity for the Dragon Clan.
Soon, the Dragon God Temple was right before his eyes.
The Dragon God Temple had no doors, it was always open to anyone at any ti. There were no knights or guards, anyone could co and go as they pleased. However, people voluntarily maintained order and cleanliness here.
Entering the temple, the first thing Long Yi saw was a massive statue of the Dragon God.
Legend had it that the Dragon God radiated an aura of order and law, one eye could see through ti, and the other could penetrate space.
According to the knowledge in Long Yi’s mind, the legend was correct.
However, this only applied to the Dragon God King.
The Dragon God lineage didn’t consist of just one dragon. The most powerful, the Dragon God King, created this world, but neither it nor its Dragon God Clan resided in it.
As for where they are, besides themselves and the Giants, nobody knows.
Not even Long Yi knows.
Huh?
I’m also a Giant, why don’t I know?
Thinking about this, Long Yi felt very confused.
Well, if I don’t know then I don’t know, I don’t really care about it anyway. The only thing that mattered now was Arin’s power restoration issue.
In front of the statue, there were dozens of rows of long benches, filled sporadically with worshippers offering prayers of various topics. Long Yi wasn’t interested in this, he urgently wanted to find a temple priest or a supervisor, he wanted to inquire about Light Silver. According to Long Yi’s estimates, just one drop of Light Silver could solve Arin’s problem.
But where are the people here?
Or should I say, where are the dragons?
Just as Long Yi was getting impatient with the wait, an old man sat down next to him, swaying slightly. Long Yi found this strange, there were plenty of empty seats, why would this old man sit next to him?
So Long Yi instinctively moved aside. However, the old man followed him. At this point, Long Yi realized the man was doing it on purpose.
Turning his head to ask about it, Long Yi recognized the face in front of him.
"Old Glass?"
Long Yi exclaid.
Bang!
A punch landed on top of Long Yi’s head.
"Naughty boy, what have I done wrong to you?"
The old man chuckled while scolding.
Long Yi was taken aback — he didn’t even see how the old man made his move! At this mont, the Giant bloodline inside Long Yi started stirring, sensing surges of Dragon Clan aura radiating from the old man.
Damn!
Old Glass is actually a Dragon Clan mber!
A Dragon Clan mber who can transform into a human form! This old guy must be over a thousand years old!
At this point, Long Yi was truly shocked. When he was three years old, he could barely understand him. But now, upon eting him again, he finally realized how unfathomable Old Glass really was.
"My na is Tyl. You can call big brother, uncle, grandpa, or simply Tyl. If I ever hear ’Old Glass’ coming from your mind again, I’ll strip you naked and hang you from the lamp post in front of the temple,"
Old Dragon Tyl said, smiling at Long Yi.
Shit! This old... this uncle can read minds?!
Long Yi looked at Tyl and his changing expression, quickly altered his thoughts, thus confirming his guess was correct.
"Follow , kid,"
Tyl stood up, and Long Yi imdiately followed cautiously, trying his best not to think about anything. But the more he tried not to think, the more he thought, so in the end, he just helplessly let his mind wander freely.
The temple had a few restrooms in the back, it looked like Tyl usually lived here. Upon entering the room, the door noiselessly shut, dragon power began flowing, brilliant runes began to rise around the room, a powerful force completely isolating it from the outside.
"Phew...finally, a place where we can talk. Kid, hurry up and tell , is Bajie doing okay?"
Tyl suddenly rushed over, he didn’t look like he was going to ask questions, but more like he was going to eat him.
"Um, Uncle Tyl, please calm down, let’s talk this slowly."
Long Yi pushed Tyl away with both hands. Tyl also realized his lapse of deanor, he awkwardly cleared his throat and stepped back.
"Well, kid, I knew I didn’t read you wrong. You finally made it into the Dragon Knight Academy,"
Tyl steadied his emotions and began to speak.
Long Yi smiled, nodded, and then took a deep breath.
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle. I think I did pretty well on my exam. These past fifteen years, Bajie and I have been doing well, especially Bajie. He eats a lot and has gotten quite chubby. However, I estimate that he’ll regain his normal body shape after evolution. Even though I’m a pretty good blacksmith, I can’t keep up with his eating habits. I heard that the Dragon Clan is quite wealthy. How about you sponsor ? Alright, I’ve finished talking about him. Can you tell what is your sche now?"
Long Yi spouted all of this out at an extrely fast pace. Tyl listened carefully, only managing a bitter smile at the last sentence.
"I’m just an old bloke, in less than a hundred years I’ll have to find myself a spot in the Dragon Tomb. What plot could I possibly have? But about Bajie, he’s my child."
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Long Yi accidentally inhaled his saliva and started to cough fiercely. After a while, he managed to regain his composure, his face red with embarrassnt.
Wait a minute, Bajie is a Demon Abyss Dragon, Bajie’s mother must be a Demon Abyss Dragon. This is sothing that Bajie himself can verify. Moreover, Bajie’s mother was once the high-profile Demon Abyss Dragon Queen!
Yes, you didn’t read that wrong. Even though Bajie is fat, he is still a mber of the royal family.
If this old man is Bajie’s father...
Long Yi widened his eyes, "Uncle, please answer a few questions for ."
"Go ahead!"
"Twelve hundred years ago, who was the legendary Black Dragon Knight that led the Black Dragon Empire to sweep the world, forcing other countries to unite?"
"That’s my knight. His na is Tyl." The old man said with a nostalgic look.
"Eight hundred years ago, who was the dragon that after being killed by his peers, almost caused a regi change in the Black Dragon Empire with the strength of one dragon?"
"That was ."
"Four hundred years ago, who was the Black Dragon that was appointed as the guardian of the Black Dragon Empire?"
"That was ."
"Three hundred years ago, who was the one that despite being old, challenged, and ultimately won against, the strongest White Dragon of the Holy Light Empire at the ti?"
"That was ."
Long Yi looked at the calm old man in front of him and, for so reason, he suddenly wanted to scream for help.
This old man is a living legend!
Who in the Dragon Clan is more impressive than him?
No one!
Absolutely no one!
According to the rumors, even the Dragon Clan’s council had no ans to deal with him. He was just too strong, to the point of being unreasonable.
The most important thing is, from his first display of power, up until now, twelve hundred years, he has always been the biggest threat to the Holy Light Empire, a knife hanging over its neck! The Holy Light Empire has been in existence for so many years, but it never got an upper hand over the Black Dragon Empire! Why!? Because of this dragon in front of !
"One hundred and thirty years ago, when the Demon Abyss Dragons invaded..." Tyl began to speak slowly.
"I was already an old man, living for nearly two thousand years, and I felt my life was nearing its end. My knight died early, otherwise, I guess I could have been invincible for a few hundred more years. At that ti, I just wanted to go around and fight. But when the Demon Abyss Dragon Queen appeared, can you guess what I was thinking?"
"Oh God, she’s beautiful," Long Yi said, he could guess what Tyl was thinking.
"Yes, she was really beautiful."
Acloudy look appeared in Tyl’s eyes.
Long Yi didn’t understand the aesthetic standards of the Dragon Clan but based on his mory of Demon Abyss Dragons, if he were to et the Demon Abyss Dragon Queen, he would probably think: "Oh God, she’s big."
"Do you believe in love at first sight?"
The old man asked, but didn’t wait for Long Yi’s answer. Tyl continued: "I had never seen such a beautiful girl. We were deeply attracted to each other. Until she heard about how my knight was killed, she beca extrely furious and vowed to take revenge for . She summoned the Demon Abyss Dragons to war without my agreent."
Later events are known, several cities of the Black Dragon Empire fell. At that ti, I was completely infatuated with her fighting silhouette and could not extricate myself, naturally, the Black Dragon Empire couldn’t win. They had to ask for help from other countries. The Demon Abyss Dragons were strong, but they were still not able to combat against the elite human realm Dragon Clan with Dragon Knights."
Oh my God, this is a big scoop!
Long Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The wicked Demon Abyss Dragons invaded the Black Dragon Empire without reason. The root cause turned out to be here! It was actually the guardian Black Dragon of the Black Dragon Empire!
"Fortunately, during the ti they were tracking the Demon Abyss Dragons, we had an opportunity to be alone. Before she was forcibly sent back to the abyss by the rules of this world, she left a child. As the guardian Black Dragon, I could not stop her invasion and had no face to stay, so I resigned from my position, transford into a human form, and dedicated myself to finding a suitable knight for my child. Then, I t you. Look, isn’t a giant the best knight?"
Long Yi was numb. He didn’t care about the surprising vitality of Tyl, reproducing while being hunted, what kind of spirit was that?
In any case, this old man was too strong.
In all senses of the word, he was too strong.
From this description, it seems that this Black Dragon Tyl is essentially the world’s public enemy, right?
