At the southern end of Dragon Island, at the edge of the cliff by the coast.
Hundreds of Megalosaurus of various sizes gathered here and looked at the ten tiny figures on the cliff.
They were the ten players who came to visit Dragon Island. Beside them were the ten young Dragons, the Golden Dragon Romanus, who had transformed into a human, and a few other Megalosaurus who wanted to travel to the Continent of Segers with the players.
Among the Megalosaurus who were sending them off, the Red Dragon King, Hertos, stood at the forefront. He looked at the players with his huge head, especially those who were good at cards. His eyes were filled with reluctance.
"Dear Elven friends, are you really leaving?"
"We've completed our mission, and we have to leave. But if there's a chance in the future, we'll come back."
The players laughed.
Seeing that they had already packed their luggage, Hertos sighed.
Although the Elves had only stayed on Dragon Island for half a month, they had brought tremendous changes to Dragon Island.
Fun games, delicious barbecued meat …
The Megalosaurus, who were bored and could only sleep, count gold coins, or fight in groups, suddenly realized that life could be so colorful.
As the long-lived species in the world of Segers, the Megalosaurus had lost a lot of things while they had a long lifespan.
There weren't many things that could stir their tranquil hearts and make them feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.
During the half a month that the players stayed on Dragon Island, there were many more cheers and laughter on Dragon Island.
"My friends, thank you for bringing joy to Dragon Island. This is my gift, and I hope you can accept it."
Hertos took out ten shiny red dragon scales from his inventory and placed them in front of the players.
Those were his dragon scales.
Seeing the shiny red scales, the players' eyes lit up.
Although he was a Megalosaurus who was afraid of his wife, as a veteran Dragon God, the dragon scales of the Red Dragon King, Hertos, were definitely rare treasures.
Following the Red Dragon King's actions, the Megalosaurus that came to bid farewell to the players also left their parting gifts in front of them.
Dragon scales, rare magical beast cores, mutated magical plants …
Apart from gold and gems, there were all sorts of precious gifts. Soon, a small mountain was formed in front of the players.
The players were moved by the enthusiasm of the Megalosaurus.
"Accept these gifts, friends of the Elven Forest. The doors of the Dragon Island … will always be open to you."
The Red Dragon King said.
The Players nodded, carefully putting away the gifts from the Megalosaurus before stepping onto the backs of the young dragons.
"Friends of the Megalosaurus, take care!"
Li Mu turned around and extended his hand, giving the Megalosaurus an elven salute.
"Take care!"
The other players followed suit with solemn expressions.
Even Demacia, who had always been cheeky, became serious, and there was a hint of gentleness in the depths of his eyes.
"Take care …"
The Megalosaurus also bowed their heads slightly, giving the highest salute from the dragon race to their friends.
"Let's go! Goodbye, everyone! "
The Players waved their hands and turned around.
The young Megalosaurus that they were riding on let out a long cry, spread its wings, and took them away from the Dragon Island …
Romanus and a few other Megalosaurus also transformed into their original forms and followed suit.
More than ten Megalosaurus flew toward the southeast under the bright sunlight …
Looking at the Players who were gradually leaving, the Red Dragon King Hertos raised his head.
He raised his slender dragon head and let out a long cry to the sky, letting out a loud and clear dragon roar.
Behind him, more and more Megalosaurus joined the team one after another. They raised their dragon heads and let out a long and loud roar …
One after another, dragon roars resounded in the sky until the figures of the Players could no longer be seen.
As the Elves left, the Megalosaurus that gathered on the cliff also dispersed.
The Red Dragon King Hertos returned to the Dragon Valley reluctantly. However, as soon as he entered the basin of the Dragon Valley, the expression on his face instantly turned into anticipation.
There was a flash of light in his claws, and there was an additional set of flashy cards.
Looking at the cards that were more beautiful and dazzling than the other Megalosaurus, Hertos let out a silly smile.
"Hehehe … Is this a limited edition card? It's so beautiful! Demacia, that fellow, is really not bad … "
This card was secretly given to him by the young man named Demacia before the Elves left.
His other cards, including the set of Gwent cards that he stole from the Mother Goddess, were all burned by the Silver Dragon Andrea in the name of losing one's will to play …
Apart from this set of cards, there were two sets of ordinary cards that were given to the Red Dragon Tiberias and the Silver Dragon Aegnis.
Surprisingly, these two Megalosaurus did not come to send the players off today.
Clearly … they had spent the most time with the players in this half a month.
"I can't let Andrea see this set of cards again."
The Red Dragon King carefully kept the cards as if they were precious treasures.
However, just as he finished keeping them, he heard his wife's familiar voice.
"Hertos!"
The Red Dragon King was shocked and almost dropped the cards on the ground. How many cards did he play? He turned around and saw the Silver Dragon Andrea frowning and sizing him up. She seemed to be in a bad mood.
"What are you hiding?"
"Cough, nothing, nothing …"
Andrea was speechless.
The Mythical Silver Dragon looked at the Red Dragon King deeply, making him feel uneasy. However, in the end, she did not pursue the matter.
"Right, have you seen Tiberias?"
Andrea asked.
"Tiberias?"
The Red Dragon King frowned slightly.
"That little bastard still has two months of confinement left. He should be in the back of the valley, right? With Aegnis. "
"Aegnis was knocked unconscious. I asked her, but she doesn't remember anything."
The Silver Dragon's expression was a little unpleasant.
Hearing this, the Red Dragon King was stunned.
A few seconds later, he thought of something and suddenly looked in the direction where the players left. He cursed.
"Damn it, Tiberias, that little bastard, must have sneaked away again! I even planned to give the cards to her! "
"Hmm? Cards? "
A sharp gaze swept over.
"Cough … Wife, you heard wrong."
The Red Dragon King coughed dryly and withdrew his tail.
…
"Sigh … The journey is over."
Demacia, who was riding on the dragon's back, turned his head and retracted his gaze from Dragon Island.
He could no longer see Dragon Island behind him.
"Demacia, it seems like you like Dragon Island very much!"
Shapeshifter Ji Gang laughed.
"Of course, the Megalosaurus on Dragon Island are rich and innocent, especially the metal dragons. Once you gain their recognition, you can truly become friends with them …"
"Although the Color Dragons on Dragon Island are a little hot-tempered, they are unexpectedly genuine. They are completely different from the evil dragons entrenched in the Segers Continent."
Demacia said.
As he spoke, he felt a little emotional.
"I've made more friends in the Megalosaurus over the past few days than I've made friends with the players in the past few years …"
Who asked you to always like to cause trouble!
Hearing his words, the players looked at him with disdain.
Facing the disdainful looks of the players, especially the few female players, Demacia blushed.
He coughed awkwardly and said,
"Can't I be wrong? Isn't … isn't this already being changed? "
"Right, speaking of which, why didn't Tiberias come to send us off? Didn't she say that she wanted to go back to the Elf Forest with us?"
Demacia changed the topic.
"She's being grounded, right? I heard from Aegnis that she'll be grounded for another two months. "
Salty Meow replied.
However, it was at that moment that a cheerful and loud dragon roar echoed from behind the Players …
"Rua-! Wait for me! Aren't you guys flying too fast?! "
The players turned around and saw a slender Red Dragon chasing after them.
"Tiberia, aren't you under house arrest?"
Tiberias was slightly taken aback.
"Hey! I already said that I want to go back with you guys! My contract with the Goddess of Life hasn't been fulfilled yet! Who cares about being grounded? That old guy can't lock me up! "
The Red Dragon looked proud.
After saying that, it widened its sparkling eyes again.
"Speaking of which … when we return to the Elf Forest, is there a welcome dinner?"
"Don't be too polite. A cart of roasted meat will do! I want to bring honey too! "
The players were speechless.
You're just craving the roasted meat in the Elf Forest, right?!
Just like that, the Red Dragon Tiberias joined the team.
The group flew toward the Segers Continent.
This time, their route wasn't the same as when they came. Instead, they went straight to the Elf Forest.
After traveling for a few months, it was time to go home.
The players returned with a rewarding trip to Dragon Island.
When they returned to the City of Heaven's Chosen, it was already a week later.
At the same time, Zeloran in the Maple Moon Free Territory welcomed a traveler from the north …
"Zeloran … I'm finally at Zeloran again."
Looking at the city on the shore that was more prosperous than it was a year ago, John Senior sighed.
In just a year, the dirty and messy docks had been expanded nearly twofold. Guards in fine armor were constantly patrolling in an orderly manner.
The streets were straight, and the roads were cleaner than he remembered. The pedestrians coming and going were glowing, unlike the dispirited and exhausted citizens in the various cities of the Empire.
Their gazes were full of vitality.
The beautiful city and the happy residents made John Senior a little dazed.
It had only been a year, but Zeloran looked completely different from the cities of the Empire.
This place really looked like a fairytale paradise.
John Senior carefully got off the ship, tightened the keepsake given to him by the elves, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and walked into the city.
The city was more prosperous than he had imagined. There was an endless flow of carriages, and people came and went. It was a bustling and grand scene.
This scene made John Senior feel as if he had come to another world.
At the same time, a deep doubt kept growing in his heart.
Why … Why was it that a year ago, Zeloran City was not much different from the other cities in the Empire, even though it was famous outside? Why did it change so much in just a year?
John Senior knew that it was the Life Church's credit behind this.
However, he couldn't imagine how a city that had suffered from the flames of war could recover its vitality and look brand new in such a short time …
He stood nervously at the intersection and didn't know where to go for a while.
Until a guard in armor noticed him and came forward to greet him.
Seeing the guard walking toward him, John Senior's heart tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to escape …
It couldn't be helped. This was the conditioned reflex of every civilian of the Empire.
The city guards maintained the order of the city, but they also protected the interests of the nobles and wealthy merchants. As for the commoners without any background, if they got involved with the city guards, they would often be bullied … or blackmailed.
However, just as John Senior was feeling nervous, helpless, and fearful, the guard patted him on the shoulder and revealed a friendly smile.
"Friend, you don't look too good. Are you in trouble? Do you need me to help? "
Seeing the guard's friendly smile, John Senior was slightly taken aback.
This smile was very familiar to him, as if he had seen it before.
Gradually, the other party's appearance slowly overlapped with an image in his memory …
It was a refugee that John Senior met on a ship when he fled from the south. He finally got off the ship in Zeloran.
However, John Senior clearly remembered that the refugee was sallow and emaciated, with a dispirited expression and cloudy eyes. The guard in front of him had a ruddy complexion, was full of vigor, and his bright eyes were full of light.
This … Is this really the same person?
John Senior was uncertain.
"Jason? Is that you? "
He widened his eyes and asked uncertainly.
"Hmm?"
The guard was stunned.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"You know me?"
"It's really you?! I … I'm John! "
John Senior said excitedly.
"John?"
The guard frowned.
When he carefully looked at John Senior's appearance for a while, his expression gradually turned to surprise.
"It's you! John! "
"Yes, it's me!"
John Senior's voice trembled.
"You … How did you become like this? I didn't even recognize you … "
Looking at John Senior's slightly aged appearance, the guard asked in surprise.
"Sigh … It's a long story. I'm also curious about what you've experienced. It feels like you've become a different person."
John Senior lamented.
Hearing his words, the guard's gaze gradually softened.
As if thinking of something, his expression became very excited and pious.
He drew a symbol of the Scepter of Life on his chest and said with a smile,
"All of this is thanks to Her Holiness the Great Goddess and the merciful Lady Sophia …"
"John, do you remember our chat on the ship?"
The guard asked.
John Senior was in a daze for a moment and nodded.
"Remember … Of course I remember …"
Of course he remembered.
When he first met Jason, he was at the lowest point of his family's destruction and disheartened.
During that time, it was precisely because he got to know Jason and poured out his heart that he gradually walked out of despair.
However, John Senior was a devout Eternal Believer at that time, while Jason had already given up his belief in the True God.
In the end, the two parted ways in Zeloran. One converted to the Church of Life, while the other continued north.
However, the two met again now.
And John Senior also changed from an Eternal Believer to a confused nonbeliever.
"John …"
Jason's gaze was very bright.
"We once talked about why this world is so dark, where is hope, where is our future … Where is the dawn that can pierce the dark night …"
"Now … I've found it."
