Li Huailin didn't expect that Anthony would be involved in this matter. In fact, when he thought about it, Anthony was indeed only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time. Li Huailin remembered that Anthony's father was a Marshal of the Empire and the commander of the First Legion. Then, his eldest son was hunted down. No matter how he thought about it, there must be a big story behind it.
What was even more strange was that the Marshal died ten years later, and his eldest son was assassinated again. He was lost in the northern part of the Empire, where he rose to power and finally ascended the throne. No one had claimed that Anthony was assassinated until now. What was worse was that he had lost his memory and hadn't recovered yet. He had no idea who did it.
Looking at the missing gems, Basalan's words could basically be believed. He wouldn't be so bored as to tell so many lies. It wouldn't do him any good at all. In other words, Basalan wasn't the dragon that killed the seller's family. Then, would there be a second dragon? Li Huailin didn't know for sure. In fact, a giant dragon had already appeared at that time, which was Basalan. If he wanted to steal the gems, then he would definitely push the blame onto the giant dragon. All he had to do was fake a crime scene … Or, he could directly ask the people investigating the crime scene for help, as long as he had the authority.
Li Huailin felt that this matter was a bit of a headache. He really didn't want to care about these political issues, but the troublesome thing was that the clue to the secret treasure he was looking for seemed to be pointing there. After thinking about it, Li Huailin decided to put this matter aside for a while. After all, the Human Race, the Undead Race, and the Demon Race would have a joint discussion. At that time, Li Huailin would definitely return to the main city. At that time, he would inquire about the situation from Anthony.
Although Li Huailin was inclined to the inference that someone had pushed the blame onto the giant dragon, for the sake of insurance, Li Huailin still planned to ask all the dragons at the scene if they had stolen the gems. Therefore, in the following time, Li Huailin wandered around the Dragon Valley. Anyway, he basically asked all the dragons he saw, and the answers he got were basically that he had never heard of them, never seen them, and so on.
There were also some who didn't answer. For example, Ovegante. He was very uncooperative, but he didn't seem to have a conflict with Li Huailin. When he saw Li Huailin, he only raised his head and glanced at him. Then, he lowered his head again and ignored him.
After asking around and getting nothing, Li Huailin felt that the previous clue was more reliable. It was almost time, so he directly went offline to rest.
The next day, the day of the Dragons' gathering. As soon as he went online, Li Huailin was pulled over. Of course, it was not actually Li Huailin, but Millet. The Dragons were holding a ceremony, which was similar to a human ceremony. Li Huailin could roughly understand the meaning of each ceremony, but he could roughly guess that one of them was to welcome the new member here, which was, of course, Millet. The other was to worship their ancestors, which was more or less to worship their god. The god that these dragons were worshipping was naturally the huge dragon fossil in the middle of the Dragon Valley. They believed that this was the golden body left behind by the Dragon God before he ascended.
Basically, all these things had nothing to do with Li Huailin. He was probably participating as Millet's guardian. From the beginning to the end, he only saw the group of dragons roaring and shouting for some unknown reason. Li Huailin wasn't too concerned. Taking advantage of this time, Li Huailin took a look at the situation of the Dragons' forces here.
First of all, the Dragons' forces here were clearly divided into three factions, which were the Doves, Hawks, and Neutrals that Nojorda had told him about. These three factions were obvious from the Knights' positions. First of all, the Doves' forces were definitely led by the Red Dragon Queen, Rumidios. There were a total of four dragons here, including the Red Dragon Queen, her subordinates, Fidra, Quedratos, and the newly joined Millet. In fact, these dragons were considered to be the Otaku faction, since these dragons didn't go out at all.
Then there was the Hawks, which had the most number of dragons. There were six dragons from this faction, and the leader should be Urvygant. This was because the remaining dragons were standing behind him.
Then there were the Neutrals. There were a total of three dragons, Feleteliga, Crosia, and Basalan. Feleteliga should be the leader of this group. This wasn't based on their positions, because the Neutrals seemed to be more loose. Feleteliga and Urvygant were very close to each other, while Crosia, Basalan, and the Red Dragon Queen were very close. Li Huailin guessed that the leader was because Feleteliga was the largest here.
The remaining three dragons didn't appear. Li Huailin didn't know which faction they were from. There were 13 dragons at the scene.
Looking at the current situation, Li Huailin roughly understood the current situation of the Dragon race. According to the current size, the Red Dragon Queen was the largest and probably the strongest. The second was Feleteliga, and then Urvygant. Looking at the dragons of the Hawks, although they were all adult dragons, they were generally smaller in size, so the situation was obvious. The so-called Hawks were actually the younger faction. They were more radical like the young humans. Newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, and they would casually say things like destroying other races, saying that the Dragon race was the strongest, and so on. However, they weren't strong enough to convince the other two factions. In the end, the Dragon Valley was still dominated by the Doves led by the Red Dragon Queen.
Seeing this, Li Huailin wasn't concerned about the development of the Dragon race. It had nothing to do with him. He was looking for the target of today's mission. Yes, no matter what, this was an AA-level hidden mission. He wouldn't be able to get through it just like that. Putting aside the Red Dragon Queen's inexplicable skill teaching, Millet's attributes had actually increased, which meant that this mission was for real. From the looks of it, today was the most likely day. Of course, Li Huailin felt that the mission was most likely to be with the Hawks.
Sure enough, as Li Huailin had imagined, not long after the sacrifice to the Dragon God's fossil ended, a dragon jumped out. However, the dragon that jumped out surprised Li Huailin. Li Huailin thought that the one who jumped out would be Upigante, but that wasn't the case. Behind Upigante, a black dragon called Pelagia St. Merlo, whom he had just met today, stepped out and spoke in human language. It seemed like it was directed at Li Huailin.
"Everyone, please wait. I have something that I have to say here," Pelagia said.
"Pelagia, what's the matter?" Remy Dios stepped forward and asked.
"The Dragon race has been around for thousands of years, almost as long as the history of this continent. At our peak, there were more than ten thousand of us, and more than a thousand adult Dragons. Now, there are only sixteen adult Dragons left on this continent. Think about it, why is that?" Pelagia said.
Without waiting for a response from the Dragon, Pelagia continued, "That's because we're too gentle! From the era of Phoepegar to the current era of Remy Dios, we've been too gentle to other races. Now, there's even a point of view that recognizes the existence of Dragon Knights. This is incredible. I can't understand it. As the most powerful race on the continent, why should we be enslaved by other races? "
"It's not enslavement." Remy Dios stepped forward and said, "It's cooperation. Look at this new member next to me. It's only been three months since it was born. This is the result of our cooperation. What do you think?"
"I don't think it proves anything," Pelagia said immediately. Pergia immediately said, "What makes us truly strong is the pride of our Dragon Clan. Our hearts don't care about whether we are adults or not. Cooperating with other clans? That will only make us weaker! I can prove it right now. "
After saying that, Pelagia stepped forward, raised his claws, and pointed at Millet and Li Huailin. "Mielsk, and you, human Dragon Knight, are you willing to compete with me? Let's see if the dragons enslaved by humans are stronger, or the real Dragon race is stronger! Do you dare? "
"Tsk … Is that so?" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"Pelagia!" Remy Dios stepped forward again, but before he could speak, Li Huailin suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
"Hmm?" Remy Dios turned his head.
"We can't escape anyway, so let's not talk nonsense. Come on." Li Huailin said, "But before we compete, let me say something first. As a human and an outsider, I have some opinions about the development of the Dragon race."
"Go ahead," Remidios said from the other side.
"There are always people, no, there are always dragons who keep emphasizing how weak humans are and how powerful the dragons are. But in the end, humans are rising to the top while the dragons are on the verge of extinction. That doesn't sound very reasonable. Why do you think that is the case?" Li Huailin walked to the middle and said.
"Why?" Crosia asked from the other side.
"That's because your physical strength makes you forget how weak you are. And a guy who doesn't even know how weak he is will naturally die," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"You said we are weak? Hahahaha … "Pelagia laughed.
"That's why I said you guys are pitiful." Li Huailin looked at Pelagia indifferently and said, "To be honest, if the Dragon race were all like you, no one would feel sorry for them."
"I …" Just as Pelagia was about to speak, a dragon claw suddenly reached out and pulled Pelagia in front of him.
"Wait, I want to hear from you. Is there a way out for the Dragon race?" All the dragons were very surprised, because the one who stopped Pelagia was Ovegante, who was behind him.
