Chapter 412: Chapter 411 Rest Easy Now
The speed of Pseudo-Harpy Dragon Hape was far from matching that of Unicorn Polly, but there was a way to compensate for it, that being the Beast Fusion Shadow.
Once the Beast Fusion Shadow was activated, Hape transford into a winged shape and could follow Russell, cutting through the wind like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, they had flown from Wuyao Snake Manor to Red Castle.
Then they entered Shadowfla Volcano through an underground passage of Red Castle.
In fact, flying directly into the volcano’s crater would have allowed one to see the slumbering Shadowfla Dragon, but out of respect for the dragon, all visitors were required to obtain permission from Red Castle before entering the volcano through the tunnel.
“Little fellow, what brings you here again?” Before Russell could speak, the Shadowfla Dragon opened its eyes.
Lately, Russell’s frequency of entering and leaving the Shadowfla Volcano was nearly catching up to the Volcanic Minister.
“It’s important, Your Highness Shadowfla,” Russell said with a solemn expression. The M-shaped mark in his palm flickered, indicating that although the Little Dream Dragon was in slumber, it could still translate for him, “Ice Cream and I discovered traces of Snow Giant Da over a thousand kiloters south of the Grand Duchy, in the Heibo Mountains.”
“Da?” The Shadowfla Dragon suddenly beca serious, “What is the situation with Snow Giant Da?”
“The situation with Snow Giant Da probably isn’t good, but I didn’t see it clearly,” said Russell, who indeed did not have a clear view. In his Dream Clone state, he could only see a vague outline of magic power and couldn’t make out the condition of Snow Giant Da.
After a mont, Russell added, “But I made an astonishing discovery.”
“Go on.”
“On Snow Giant Da’s shoulder, there stood a miniature Snow Giant over twenty ters tall, and it seed as though it was controlling Snow Giant Da,” said Russell, “I highly suspect that this miniature Snow Giant is the new power you sensed.”
“A miniature Snow Giant? Controlling Snow Giant Da?” The Shadowfla Dragon pondered over Russell’s words, “Shadowfla doesn’t quite understand.”
“In fact, I don’t understand either. This situation seems different from the Snow Giants recorded in history.”
Russell carefully relayed his and Unicorn Polly’s deductions to the Shadowfla Dragon.
The centuries-old Shadowfla Dragon, shaking its massive head, said, “Unheard of. Shadowfla has never heard of the existence of Xueda Pilots… and indeed, Da has beco increasingly clever over the decades.”
“So, Your Highness Shadowfla, should this information be communicated to King Ares?” Russell inquired.
If there were indeed Xueda Pilots, the strength of Snow Giants on the Dragon Sleep Continent would surely skyrocket. In the end, only Dragon Knights would be able to deal with Snow Giants that have pilots.
Even Dragon Knights might not be able to handle Snow Giants with pilots.
“No rush,” said the Shadowfla Dragon, quickly regaining composure after its initial shock, “The Xueda Pilot is just your guess. Over five thousand years of struggle, Snow Giants have never had pilots. Perhaps this is just an accident.”
“Nevertheless, this accident warrants attention,” Russell said.
“Shadowfla understands,” the Shadowfla Dragon remarked, glancing at Russell before slowly closing its eyes, “The Heibo Mountains… Shadowfla can sense that the new power has already retreated from there. It’s not a Xueda Pilot, so there’s no need to be afraid. Live as usual.”
“Is that so? Then I’m relieved.”
“Alright, little fellow, go back now. Don’t always alarm
with minor matters, disturbing Shadowfla’s rest.” The Shadowfla Dragon issued an order to leave, “Shadowfla, like your Ice Cream, needs to slowly build up strength, waiting for the day of turning the tide!”
“Yes, Your Highness Shadowfla,” Russell struck his chest and left Shadowfla Volcano.
The ssage had been delivered. What followed, this high-level strife, was not sothing he could ddle in. He would leave it to the Shadowfla Dragon to worry about.
At most, he could continue to ride the Little Dream Dragon, sneakily devouring Snow Giant Da in Gloomy Dreamland: “Indeed, there’s no need to panic. Even if there really is a Xueda Pilot, they won’t be able to discover Ice Cream and . If it cos to it, I’ll just swallow the Xueda Pilot along with them!”
Back and forth like lightning.
By evening, Russell was already lying in a rocking chair at Cigar Courtyard, humming a tune, having finished his Knight’s evening practice.
The Flat Louse Amber Worm fed on blood to its fill.
The wound in his palm healed, as blood transford, and he only lost a little Dragon Breath, which would soon be regained through eating and drinking.
“Sir, would you like an extra serving of stead cordyceps and bamboo shoots tonight?” Butler Morris approached and asked.
“Forget it, eating the sa thing every day gets boring, let’s change it up—tonight, add a dish of mushroom stew chaos,” Russell said, “Put in extra Bloodfang Fungi and stew it until tender. These types of mushroom Magic Potions taste better when they are cooked until they fall apart.”
“As you wish, Master,”
…
Fire Ant Swamp, Swan Lake.
The lake surface was so calm not even a ripple disturbed it, except near the reeds by the shore where a group of ducklings followed a large duck, breaking the serene water.
Suddenly.
A Bipedal Flying Dragon descended from the sky, hovering over the water, the airflow from its wings completely disturbing the lake’s tranquility.
On the back of the Bipedal Flying Dragon, the slightly portly Marquis Arno Sunfire spoke in a deep voice towards the lake, “Prince Torrent, the Torrent Scale Tower in Fire Ant Swamp has been completed, it only awaits the placent of a scale to be activated.”
Whoosh!
The lake erupted in splashes, and suddenly, a massive form rose from Swan Lake. As the curtain of water settled, the figure of the Torrential Flood Dragon beca evident.
Sea-blue light twinkled from the gaps in its scale armor.
An unconventional beauty was revealed amidst its fierce appearance.
Rustle rustle.
A surge of Magic Power and dragon language resonated, the voice of the Torrential Flood Dragon reaching Marquis Arno’s ears, “Young Arno, you’ve gotten fatter, the land of Shadowfla Duchy seems to be quite nourishing, I too wish to reside here for a while.”
“Erm… Your Highness Torrent, I’ll start dieting as soon as I return,” Marquis Arno wiped the cold sweat from his forehead that wasn’t there to begin with.
The Torrential Flood Dragon had a slender form and favored all things with sleek lines, in contrast, it particularly loathed anything bulky.
And recently, he had indeed put on quite a bit of weight.
Without paying further attention to Marquis Arno, the Torrential Flood Dragon flew out of Swan Lake and casually left a remark, “Swan Lake is too small, I don’t like it. Tell the Sunflower Family to dig it larger and deeper, and add so silverfish for embellishnt.”
“Yes, Your Highness,” Marquis Arno promptly nodded and followed on the Bipedal Flying Dragon, “I will inform Baron Kunbiff to start the excavation of Swan Lake right away.”
In the blink of an eye.
The Torrential Flood Dragon had already flown to the edge cave of Fire Ant Swamp, where a tall tower now stood.
Constructed primarily from rock mixed with tal and adorned with gems.
Resembling a pyramid in shape, it was less than a hundred ters tall, its gray-yellow exterior gleaming with a cold light under the setting sun.
Lord Kunbifu Yinyan led the nobles of his territory and waited on the steps of the tall tower to greet the arrival of the Torrential Flood Dragon.
Circling the tower twice, the Torrential Flood Dragon let out a dragon chant, “Hm!”
Then, it lifted its forelimb and tore off a small scale from beneath its neck. The edge of the scale shimred with a faint sea-blue light, and the Torrential Flood Dragon casually threw it down, landing it precisely on top of the pyramid-shaped structure.
In an instant.
The tower trembled as if responding and emitted a muted bellow, “Hm!”
Imdiately afterward, a vast shadow indistinguishable from the Torrential Flood Dragon rose from atop the tower, flapping its wings to et the flesh-and-blood dragon.
They rged into one, then disappeared without a trace.
Pleased, the Torrential Flood Dragon nodded in satisfaction and, flapping its wings, returned to nest in Swan Lake. anwhile, Baron Kunbiff, Marquis Arno, and the others held a grand celebration to commorate the completion of the first Torrent Scale Tower.
“From this day forth, the Shadowfla Duchy can rest easy!”
