Chapter 219 217: Misunderstanding resolved (please subscribe, please vote)

night,

The full moon hangs high in the sky.

The earth was dark, and only shadows remained of Sunset Town not far away.

The turbulent aftermath spread, the light of fighting spirit shone, the red dragon's majestic body moved slowly, its two dragon whiskers flew, and its huge head drooped.

Luo Yi held his head high. Although he was weak, he still had infinite courage to support him and was not afraid of the dragon's power.

Until the two sides looked at each other, complex emotions flickered in the cold dragon's eyes.

He opened his mouth slightly, and a deep and majestic voice sounded: "Are you the illegitimate child of Carl Raymond and Aphra Norman?"

"I am!"

"That's right! No matter what, you are the heir chosen by that bastard Karl. I can't kill you no matter what!"

Luo Yi blinked and asked doubtfully, "Are you familiar with my father?"

"It's okay, we're friends!"

Luo Yi's face was full of disbelief: "If we are friends, why did a human disaster like the one in Lion Castle happen?

Shouldn't you give me some pointers?"

He paused and continued, "Don't tell me the Church of the Sun God isn't involved in this?"

The red dragon blinked. The structure of its eyes was different from that of humans. There were several layers of structure under the thick eyelids.

But Luo Yi still saw a feeling of rolling eyes.

Then he said, "It was interfered with. The Church of the Sun God spent so much effort to stop the expansion of the Church of the Seven Gods.

Karl is determined to promote magic machinery and copy the system of the Habsburg Empire. How can they sit idly by?!"

"As for me, how do you know I didn't warn you?"

"If I hadn't reminded him, how could he have arranged for that kid..."

The red dragon stretched out its claws, flicked out a finger, pointed at Oliveira, and said, "Right, don't look at anyone else, just you!"

“If I hadn’t reminded him, how could Karl have made arrangements in advance to let this kid take the Holy Artifact, the Proverbs Ring, out?

That kid had so many people following him. If I hadn't stopped them, do you think he could have gotten away?"

Luo Yi retorted: "There was also a fourth-level oath knight. Teacher Oliveira almost died!"

Red Dragon's voice became even louder: "Do you know how many strong men they took out in order to destroy the Raymond family?

Do you know what happened to Lion Castle after those people surrounded it?"

"I was very kind of me to intervene once. Do you really want me to throw my life away in Lion Castle?"

"A dragon's life is also a life, and I haven't lived enough!"

Luo Yi pursed his lips and asked again: "Since you reminded me, then why? Why did such a tragedy happen?"

"Overconfidence! Carl overestimated the Raymond family's strength and thought that with the Lion Castle's defenses and magic, he wouldn't be afraid even if a legend came.

He also underestimated the determination of those people!

Their fear of the magic machinery and their vigilance against the Habsburg Empire have exceeded Carl's imagination!"

At this point, Red Dragon's voice deepened: "More likely, it's the dignity and honor of the nobility that's at work.

Fleeing without a fight would be a disgrace to the Lion King."

At this point, the red dragon's huge head drooped slightly again, and he tilted his head slightly. He said, "Are you here specifically to kill me?"

Luo Yi nodded slowly: "Yes!"

"But why? I've already hidden in Sunset Town because I don't want to get involved. Why are you coming here to kill me?"

Luo Yi was speechless: "How do I know which side you are on?

I'm not thinking of getting the Church of the Sun God involved. This time when the pirates and the Wick family take action, you will definitely incite rebellion in the rear.

So, I thought I’d strike first!”

Red Dragon couldn't help but ask, "Didn't I contact Regan Durant? Didn't he tell you?"

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment, then understood, but his expression became even uglier: "Lord Regan is dead, I killed him.

The reason is that he had already rebelled.

The reason those people were able to arrange for manpower to come in without being discovered by the family was because of his cover!"

"Beheading this bastard is too easy for him!"

The Red Dragon's expression also froze, and his ferocious face could clearly express the emotion of speechlessness.

Silence stretched for a moment, and then Luo Yi finally smiled and said, "Well, Sir Virgil, how about you restore your human form and we can have a good chat.

At least, clear up the misunderstanding, okay?"

The red dragon exhaled, and its two dragon whiskers trembled again. A dull voice came out: "We really need to have a good chat!"

As he said this, his huge body slowly retreated, and every step he took caused the earth to shake and filled the air with smoke and dust.

With every step, there was a violent fluctuation of magic power. The fire elements gathered and spread, as if forming a violent tornado.

But the person who walked out of the tornado was a skinny and short old man wearing a tattered bishop's robe. There was a cut on his back stained with blood.

The old man hunched over, holding his waist, and sighed, "Why do you have to do this? Why do you have to do this?"

"I'm so old, I almost died here."

"Look, what are you looking at? Even dragons get old one day, and your future may not be any better than mine!"

"Luo Yi, you, you little brat, why don't you come and help me? You don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young!"

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment, mainly because the contrast was too great.

This little old man, half of his body is buried in the loess. No matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with the mighty and domineering red dragon?

But he still reacted quickly!

After hearing the greeting, he took two or three steps forward, held the other person's arm, and said, "Be careful! Be careful!"

"This way, go this way..."

…

After the extreme outburst, both Roy and Oliveira were exhausted.

Therefore, the fourth-level natural disaster strongmen, Iron Knight Phil and Flame Sword Saint Otto, became firewood gatherers.

They found a relatively clean place, lit the firewood, and started a bonfire.

Five people sat in a circle around the campfire.

Luo Yi took out a dimensional bag, took out various potions, and distributed several bottles to everyone.

Including the red dragon Virgil Berry, he also took a bottle of healing potion and asked Loyi to sprinkle it on the wound on his back.

Luo Yi used all his strength to strike him, leaving a thin wound about three inches long on his back.

To be honest, Luo Yi felt that it was a waste to use potion on this wound.

But this was the only wound on his body.

This shows how strong the red dragon's defense is and how thick its scales are.

Of course, during this process, Luo Yi did not stop talking and kept asking questions.

The old man Virgil Berry is a man who knows everything and says everything he knows.

"Well, what should I call you?"

"I can't tell you my real name, but I am Virgil Berry of the human race."

"Then I'll call you Uncle Virgil, okay?"

"Wait, uncle, so I'm younger than that guy Karl?

Are you kidding? The years I've spent as your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather are enough, and you want to add my uncle?"

"My father is dead, so why not stop being so fussy?"

"Indeed, there's no point in arguing with the dead. However, the title is important. You should call me Bishop Virgil!"

"Speaking of this, I'm very curious, why did you become the bishop of the Church of the Sun God?"

"This is a personal pursuit. I like the church and I like preaching to people. Seeing them praying devoutly gives me a sense of accomplishment!

But don’t go out and tell anyone about it! No one knows my identity.”

"Don't anybody in the church know about this?"

"Of course. For this, I have cultivated the 'Dragon Transfiguration Technique' to an extremely high level.

Wait, you don't think I got the title of Bishop by being a dragon, do you?"

"Isn't it?"

"You're kidding! I studied in a seminary for ten years and rose through the ranks to become a regional bishop. Who could possibly understand those sacred texts and doctrines better than me?

Even if you call the Pope, I dare to debate with him!"

"Ahem, well, I definitely didn't think that! By the way, how did you and my father meet?"

"I'm the regional bishop, so isn't it natural for me to know him? Right? Did we truly become friends, or was it because of the tithe?"

"Is it about asking the Raymond family to collect the tithes on your behalf?"

"Yes, I went to him for the simple reason that the priests below were causing trouble for me everywhere by relying on the tithes.

It is said to be a tithe, but what is the reality?

They are all a bunch of bandits. Even I, a red dragon, think they are going too far.

Most importantly, they messed up my parish, so I asked Carl to collect the tithes as well to stop them from messing around."

Luo Yi suddenly had an idea: "Then the legend that you like to convert taxes into gold and sleep in a pile of gold is also true?"

Virgil said with disdain: "I am a dragon, a red dragon, and I like shiny gold. Do you think there is a problem with that?"

"Uh, that's fine. So, there's always a reason for smoke without fire? And what about the Golden House?"

"Ah, this is definitely not true, absolutely not true, you must not have any bad intentions!

Otherwise, I will definitely turn against you!"

"Golden House, you're really good at having fun! But what I'm more concerned about is why you came back at this time?"

"It's those bastards who forced me to come back. Otherwise, do you think I want to?

As an old man like me, I just want to spend my old age peacefully and comfortably, why is it so difficult?"

At this moment, Luo Yi looked at the cheerful old man and felt that the world was so magical.

He couldn't help but ask, "Well, Your Excellency, the red dragon I remember seeing in the book wasn't like you?"

"Isn't the book about greed, evil, cruelty, and terror?"

Luo Yi quickly said, "I know, this is all from a human perspective. The real red dragon is not like this!"

Virgil rejected it bluntly: "Wrong, that's exactly what a red dragon is like, absolutely correct.

But, don’t you also have a saying, people will change!

I am an old dragon, one who has lived through many years and possessed great wisdom. My realm has long been elevated, and I have escaped from vulgar interests."

Luo Yi couldn't help but turn his head and saw that the corners of Oliveira's mouth and the other two couldn't help twitching!

There will be three updates today, for sure!
