Chapter 631: Chapter 629: Forging Hope as the Key
Back at Red Castle, the thunder sound communication from Bluebird Castle had been restored, and Marquis rlin admitted he had dreamt of volcanic eruptions but had not taken it seriously before.
When Russell inquired about it, it piqued Marquis rlin’s curiosity instead, “Does my dream have so significance?”
“This isn’t a dream, it’s a real volcanic eruption,” Russell inford Marquis rlin with a return thunder sound. “A completely new and powerful dragon has erged from the eruption at Outer Space Volcano, and I, Russell Amber Dream, am the knight of this dragon!”
After receiving the thunder sound reply, Marquis rlin suddenly felt dizzy.
Uncle jie and Lady Kuna, who were by his side, were equally stunned and disoriented when they saw the content of the thunder sound.
“This… Grand Duke Russell, are you joking?” Lady Kuna exclaid, having recognized the reality of the situation.
Marquis rlin took several deep breaths to calm himself before replying, “No joke at all. Young Russell always wears a smile on his face but is ruthless at heart—he doesn’t seem like one to jest. Besides, my dream… I fear it is all true!”
“Father, send another thunder sound to inquire further,” Uncle jie urged anxiously.
But Marquis rlin waved his hand dismissively, “The birth of a dragon ans young Russell must be busy with a myriad of things. Why should we, the idlers, rush to join the hustle? Let’s wait.”
And indeed, Russell was very busy.
The kings and grand dukes of various countries had already been waiting for him for quite so ti at the Thunder Voice Conference.
“What you have dread is not rely a dream,” he imdiately composed a thunder sound and sent it to the conference. “Last night, the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon erupted, and I have ford a contract with the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon, ascending to the rank of Ancient Giant Dragon Knight.”
The thunder sound continued, “Above the elentals, the hope of returning to the ancients lies in mastering the rules, embodying the rules, and condensing an Ancient Dragon with the rules. As for the specific feelings, allow
so ti to explore before sharing with all of you.”
“Furthermore,” he added another thunder sound communication, “I have changed my surna, and you may refer to
as—Russell Amber Dream.”
The thunder sound was sent out.
The Thunder Voice Conference exploded into chaos; a series of question marks followed the thunder sound, emanating from all over Dragon Sleep Continent and converging at Shadowfla Duchy.
After informing the countries, Russell then refrained from further participating in the Thunder Voice Conference, deciding to let the kings and grand dukes reel from the shock for a while.
He imdiately convened a Cabinet eting.
“I’ll focus on a few key points in this eting,” Russell went straight to the point. “Firstly, I have advanced to an Ancient Giant Dragon Knight. Shadowfla Duchy fears no challenges, and it’s up to the Cabinet to reassure our citizens on this basis.”
“Congratulations, Your Highness!”
“The watchful eye of the dragon shines upon us with protection!”
“Your Highness has finally made a pact with His Highness Shadowfla!”
“Wait, Your Highness. What does it an to be an Ancient Giant Dragon Knight?” Chief Steward Lord Kunbei, who had listened carefully, noticed that Russell had said ‘Ancient Giant Dragon Knight,’ not just ‘Dragon Knight,’ which clearly wasn’t the sa concept.
“An Ancient Dragon is a being above dragons,” Russell explained calmly. “The Ancient Dragon I have contracted with is the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon… You should all have seen ‘Song of the Volcano’ and know of the Lost Dragon born for vengeance; that’s roughly what an Ancient Dragon is.”
“Ah! Your Highness, you’ve contracted with His Highness Shadowfla?” The ministers were utterly befuddled.
“Don’t rush, I’m going to form a contract with Shadowfla imdiately afterwards; there’s no rule that states I can only contract with one dragon,” Russell chuckled, then said, “Kunqiao, as the Lord Seal Minister, the internal and external public relations for this matter will be handled by you.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Lord Kunqiao replied in a daze.
Even after Russell explained the concept of the Ancient Dragon, Kunqiao still felt his mind was not fully comprehending what was happening.
How did the good fortune of contracting the Shadowfla Dragon turn into contracting the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon?
“The second matter pertains to the political restructuring of Shadowfla Duchy. I have decided to ascend to the rank of King, changing the royal surna to Amber Dream. The na of Shadowfla Duchy will be changed to Dreamshadow Fla Kingdom, and apart from that, everything remains unchanged.”
Having said this, Russell announced the eting adjourned.
The Cabinet Ministers were left in disarray within the conference room, utterly shocked by the unexpected and sudden developnts.
“What in the world is going on?”
“How did His Highness end up contracting with the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon?”
“The knight of the lost dragon, I believe his na was Sigruft… Your Highness, no, now it’s Your Majesty, when did Your Majesty contract the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon?”
“Lord Roland, this matter…”
“Sorry, like you, I’m still unclear about the situation,” Roland spread his hands. He had been too busy recently, barely having idle chats with Russell, so naturally, he didn’t know about Russell’s situation. “But, just follow the orders as given.”
Whatever Russell commanded, the ministers would execute.
This was the power dynamics of the Shadowfla Grand Duchy now.
…
“Shadowfla thought you had forgotten about Shadowfla.” Within the Shadowfla Volcano, the Shadowfla Dragon stared at Russell with burning eyes.
Observing him carefully.
It keenly sensed that the aura around Russell had beco unfathomable, such that even it could feel a trendous pressure.
This was the oppression of a superior being upon an inferior one.
“How could that be? I’ve promised that there would always be a place for you beside ,” Russell said, standing before the Shadowfla Dragon, feeling the sa change. He always used to find the dragon’s might very powerful.
Now.
He felt that although the Shadowfla Dragon was strong, there was still a certain gap between them, and he could now look at the Shadowfla Dragon eye-to-eye or even look down on it.
“The Ice Cream Volcano erupted; why hasn’t this guy appeared?” the Shadowfla Dragon uttered in a bubbly magic dragon language. “Shadowfla felt its power, mighty and strange, seemingly not an elental force.”
“Indeed, Ice Cream is an Ancient Dragon, a Dreamscape Ancient Dragon.”
“Ancient?” the Shadowfla Dragon quickly spotted the blind spot. “Ice Cream… it actually returned to the ancient tis?”
“The so-called ancient tis are the initial rules of the world, to comprehend and embody these rules, is to ascend as an Ancient Dragon. Ice Cream has mastered the rules of dreamscape, thus it has surpassed the Elental Giant Dragon, becoming an even more powerful upper-tier dragon.”
“Rules, laws, Spirit Dragon, Giant Dragon… the logic is clear, but…” The Shadowfla Dragon swiped its forelimb.
Suddenly, it presented a clump of starlight.
This represented its hope of returning to the past.
Looking at this hope, the Shadowfla Dragon shook its head heavily: “But Shadowfla cannot unravel it, cannot solve it, even though Shadowfla’s power has reached the critical point of breaking free, it still cannot unravel the tangles within this hope!”
It held the hope in the palm of its claw, lowered its head, looking into Russell’s eyes: “Ice Cream, how did it return to the ancient tis?”
“Sorry, Shadowfla, Ice Cream did not go back to the ancient tis, but rather, it was originally birthed from the embodint of rules as an Ancient Dragon.” Russell explained.
The Shadowfla Dragon fell silent for a mont. “Shadowfla wants to et it.”
This was to seek guidance face-to-face, on how to return to the ancient tis.
Russell, however, said: “You cannot see it, at least not for now. As an embodint of rules, Ice Cream, being the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon, is unable to descend into the real world.”
“Hm?” The Shadowfla Dragon’s eyes flickered with intrigue.
“However, you can go to Amber Dreamscape and et Ice Cream in person,” Russell said with a slight smile. “Of course, if you want to enter Amber Dreamscape, you’ll need to make a sacrifice and forge your hope into a key.”
“What does that an?” the Shadowfla Dragon looked gravely, considering that its hope to return to ancient tis was at stake; any dragon would proceed with caution.
“I’ve dreamt of Mother Earth, the planetary will; hope is no longer on the earth.”
Russell went on to explain: “So, holding onto hope and trying to solve it won’t bring you back to ancient tis. The only place of hope now is Amber Dreamscape. Shadowfla, forge your hope into a key and take a look in Amber Dreamscape.”
After a pause, he added: “Perhaps, that is the true hope of returning to the ancient tis.”
“Shadowfla needs to contemplate.” The Shadowfla Dragon was obviously not eager to part with this cluster of hope, its most precious possession.
“I won’t harm you, Shadowfla,” Russell said softly. “If you don’t trust , then let’s make a pact. Ice Cream won’t descend into the real world, but you, Shadowfla, will be my only dragon companion as I traverse the Dragon Sleep Continent!”
“Shadowfla trusts you, but Shadowfla needs ti to think,” the Shadowfla Dragon lowered its head to the ground. “This does not prevent, Shadowfla and Russell from fusing… Co, Shadowfla’s knight, lead Shadowfla into a new era!”
