482 Reaction of the Two Races
Two weeks ago,
Such as the queen predicted, not long after she visited the Flying continent and the Naga Race and Dragon Race heard about it. If their distance were not that far, even the Human Race and Elven Race would already hear the news.
Inside Naga Race's Palace Hall, stood tall a person, half-fish and half-snake, looking at his advisors.
He took a glimpse of everyone's expression before starting the eting. "I have heard that a Human is challenging Angel's race trial… and he even cos with the rumored Elven Princess, Shelka La Muerte and the Phoenix Queen, Stina Blaze…"
"Your Majesty… The crystal is supposed to be lost for thousands of years. Did the human hide it from us?" One of his aides said. The others also thought the sa way as him. Only the king and a few others had another thought.
"No. We can safely assu that the Human Race did not have it this whole ti. It is only because of this human's appearance that no one knows that the crystal manifests itself. I assu… he is the one in the prophecy." He said.
"!!!" The one thing that everyone wanted to avoid was brought here by their king, Neptune. They did not want to talk about it because they wished their later generation would be the Supre… albeit fate turned unexpected. Not only was it not their race that got chosen, the soon to be Supre hailed from the Human Race, the weakest race at the mont.
"I know what you are thinking… However, there should be sothing special for this human to be chosen by the world itself… I assu we can wait and see how it goes first in the Dragon Continent. After all, they should also hear about him and realize he would co toward them next. Do we have any report about his power?" The Neptune looked down, weighing sothing in his mind.
"We have asked the investigation team to move." One of the ministers reported. "According to the information… Elven Princess Shelka La Muerte was sent back to the Elven Race. We don't know the exact reason, but we can assu they have a little friction. As for his power, we don't know anything other than his Fire Elent and his 6-Star Tier 5 strength."
"..." Neptune did not say anything for a few minutes before saying, "It seems their relationship was not that good… With Phoenix Queen at the helm and a Challenger shielding her, that wise Seraphim should know it was not a good move to send her back just like that, especially considering the human needed to take the ship in Elven Race's border to go toward the Phoenix Race.
"So, we can safely assu that because of so conflicts, the human already wanted to send her back but lack a good reason to do that. With how the things escalated in that particular eting, the Seraphim decided to expel her and he did not stop him."
"A good reason?" The aides exchanged looks, trying to understand what he ant.
Seeing it took them so long (a few seconds) to understand it, the Neptune answered them quickly. "If I am an Elven King, I would then use my talented daughter to accompany the Supre after seeing no one has made a move, especially the Human Race. She is a rare beauty after all.
"Having her by your side for too long, she might enter your heart before you know it. At that ti, the Elven Royal Family will rule the world by using him… no, by using the six crystals."
"Your Majesty… There is sothing wrong about this. Doesn't the Elven Race have that custom where they forbid marriage with another race?" One of the aides asked.
"Custom… No, it is more like a Law of the entire race. Law… Law is a way to guide your race and its people toward the ideal state that one envisions. Using the Punishnt as a tool to prevent anyone from breaking it, the Elven Race has managed to have their bloodline pure… And now he has co… an existence that can shake their foundation. If I need to choose whether to abide by the custom or make an exception, I will choose the latter without a doubt."
"Your Majesty… Are you planning…" The minister noticed sothing off, albeit the king simply shrugged his shoulder as he said, "No. It is already too late anyway and looking at how the Elven Princess was sent back, it would an the human did not have any interest in that.
"If we have a report about the trial in Angel Race, I am sure he does not have trouble in the Lust Trial. Anyway, call Elder Shinran and my first son."
"If I may ask, is the Prince and the Elder going to stop the Human?" One of the ministers asked.
The answer ca with the form of a box that Neptune took out from his space ring, channeling his energy inside the box. However, there was another trick inside this box that Alex would find when he got it. "Tell my son to bring this box to him and tell the human if he wants to take the trial of our race, he should be able to open this box first."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Knowing what the box was, they understood that the Neptune did not intend to hinder Alex.
After that, they continued discussing all the things concerning Alex, making the situation pretty heated.
anwhile, it was also the sa in the Dragon Race. They never thought a Human would be able to possess four crystals before anyone knew about it.
Normally, it would take at least a year for a person to take four crystals which Alex also took or might be a bit longer. However, the one who decided to gather the crystals usually had a certain amount of prestige in their na, making the other influences know his presence. Normally, they were people in the Royal Family or related to the Royal Family and in extre cases, they were an unknown powerful warrior from each respective race.
It was different for an unknown Alex. He did not need to get the Human Crystal, making his na hidden for a while. Only after he ca to the Angel Race, the other influences managed to know his existence through the spies they planted in each race.
Inside the Dragon King's castle, a golden-haired young man stood tall, looking at a middle-aged and sitting on a throne. Beside him was an old man with very warm but sharp eyes. However, they had the sa characteristics, which was the scale on their arms and feet as well as a pair of Dragon Wings and a tail.
"You have co… my son." The middle-aged man looked at him with a serious expression. "I am sure you have learned that a human is going to co to our territory soon and challenge the trial… which to fight you."
"That… does not matter." The young man shook his head, looking like he did not care. "No matter what he throws at , I shall stand tall and not be affected by it."
"Fufu… It seems the Golden Prince is very eager to fight this human." The old man smirked, looking at the golden-haired young man with a serious expression.
"Father, I am going." The golden-haired man said with determination.
*Bang!*
The door was slamd as a golden-haired beauty coming inside. "It seems I have co back at the right ti."
"Yeah. You have co at the right ti. This foolish brother of yours is going to strike the human before the trial even begins." The Dragon King sighed.
"Fufu… You can't do that, Little Brother. You rember a certain case from Angel Race, right? If you attack him before the trial, he might attack us after getting the crystal because of the hatred." The young girl explained.
"Don't look down on . My way of life does not involve anything as foolish as sowing hatred." The young man clenched his fists.
"Hoh? Then what does it involve?" The Dragon King narrowed his eyes.
"The Proving of my might…" He opened his eyes wide and shouted. "I am the strongest younger generation in the world. Apart from proving this, I have no interest in anything else!!"
Suddenly, the old man, who had been silent until now, finally spoken. "Hoho… Strongest in the world, you say? Hoho… that is quite odd… Isn't there already soone stronger than you right here?" Turning his head toward the young girl, he asked, "Isn't that right, my granddaughter, Levi?"
Indescribable tension started filling the hall, making it hard to breathe. The young girl simply closed her eyes and said, "That is going too far for a joke, Grandfather."
"Hoho… Is that so? Then, let's pretend I said nothing." The old man sighed, knowing what she ant. She was one hundred years older than her little brother. Although she could be considered as one of the younger generations, it was wrong to compare her to the young man.
"Still, to think little brother wants to visit the human… it is completely insane but also pretty interesting." The young girl smiled.
"What do you an by that?" The Dragon King asked.
"As Little Qeigess said, he wants to prove himself as the strongest. However, he himself is soone different than reported. In other words, if the human cos to this place without knowing what would et him, there is no proof or whatsoever." She explained.
"That's it. I am going." The young man turned his body and started walking away.
"Hoho… since this grandson of mine wants to tell sothing like this to the human, then I shall accompany him to stop the Phoenix Queen from going rampage." The old man chuckled as he followed the young man.
The other two could only sigh. The Princess said, "This will be bad, Father. Even for the sake of the test, Qeigess wants to do it in the wrong way."
"Yeah. This is why I make you my successor instead of him. Anyway, take Our Dragon Strengthening Technique and give it to the human for compensation and I will leave the explanation to you."
"Dragon Strengthening Technique? Father… Are you sure? This is our royal family's technique."
"Yes. You have yet to know about this, but the Supre wants the one in the prophecy to learn it too." He said. "Grandfather also knows about this and I assu he has that technique in his Space Ring… Albeit, it is the copy that he has in his whole life. That's why bring a newer one."
"Ah. Does Father want the Human to learn without any personal notes from Grandfather?" The princess realized his intention. Sadly, she was too serious about it.
The king simply shook his head as he explained. "No… Your grandfather is two thousand years old… Just picture how worn out that book is? And do you think it is appropriate to give the human that?"
"..." Speechless. She never expected that her father would answer like that. "Ehm… I will get the new one then and chase both of them…"
She then left the room, leaving the dragon king alone. He looked at the ceiling and sighed, thinking about the Supre's note. The Supre was half-dragon and half-phoenix… Although he got prejudiced by the Dragon Race in his early days, after the enemies ca, he would still protect the race with his life.
Before he left the world, the Supre said, "When the ti that soone is chosen by the world would ever co in the future… whether it is a few thousand years in the future, please give him the Dragon Strengthening Technique. We… No, the world owes him a greater debt."
Even if he did not know what he ant, the Dragon Race still owed the Supre that much. With this, they should have fulfilled the promise. He sighed… "Hopefully, this is the right choice…"
