Chapter 449 The Trial of the Golden Dragon, Dragon Knight Ye Zhi
Sau——
The torches on both sides of the wall lit up one by one, illuminating the magnificent corridor.
The corridor was surprisingly wide. The golden dragon folded its wings and moved forward on the golden floor tiles with its huge claws. It glanced at Ye Zhi and Gray who were looking around and said:
"The Golden Dragon King once left his soul imprint on a mural deep in this underground palace. Touching the mural will allow you to enter his trial, but the prerequisite for participating in the trial is that the other party must be a dragon."
"My situation is somewhat special." A flash of reminiscence flashed in the golden dragon's eyes. "I relied on external forces to become a giant dragon. I did not pass the test set by the Golden Dragon King. I just relied on the remaining divinity on the murals to comprehend some of the golden dragon clan's fighting skills."
"In short, although I agree to take you to visit the murals, you are still not allowed to touch them..." The giant dragon glared and warned again, "The Golden Dragon King's trial is extremely dangerous. This is also for your safety!"
"If I want to participate in the trial of the Golden Dragon King, what price do I have to pay?" Ye Zhi asked.
“Didn’t you understand? Only dragons are allowed to challenge that trial! Even if I lose to you several times, I can’t change the rules set by the Golden Dragon King!” The golden dragon flapped its wings slightly irritably, and a gust of wind in the corridor brought an ancient and strange divinity from the depths of the underground palace.
Ye Zhi was surprised to find that there was no magic net covering this underground palace, and conventional spells could not be cast. There was only an ancient atmosphere as heavy as a mountain, as if the pressure of a giant dragon had expelled all the invisible magic power.
Immediately, Ye Zhi looked up at the Golden Dragon and said:
"The girl next to me is from the Dragon Clan."
Hearing this, Gray held her head high and puffed out her chest, her ponytail swaying in the wind. It was hard to associate the girl's slender figure with a dragon as big as a mountain.
"She?" The golden dragon glanced at Gray, his tone full of suspicion, "Dragon?"
"Humph, this joke is not funny at all! Although I am old, my eyesight is still good. I can still tell the difference between a human and a dragon!" Huang Jinlong urged, "Okay, finish looking at the murals quickly, and then we can go back and play two more rounds of mahjong!"
Before Ye Zhi could speak, Gray had already released her breath. The silver dragon heart in her chest was beating strongly, and the pressure from the upper dragon clan spread like a substance, instantly extinguishing the torches on the walls on both sides.
In the dim underground palace, the golden dragon's red eyes kept flashing like a light source, and its heavy breathing became more and more obvious.
The dragon's breath was disordered, and it was obvious that it was difficult to calm down. The Silver Dragon Clan was severely damaged after the death of the Silver Dragon Queen, and almost all of them died. The only two upper dragons, the Golden Dragons, could not escape the fate of the Silver Dragon Clan. The real Golden Dragons were nowhere to be found on this continent.
Now, a mere human being actually possesses the genuine power and might of a silver dragon. In history, only the "Dragonborn" could do this.
Dragonborn, in the old era, were called "dragonbloods". Their ancestors were often giant dragons that transformed into humans and then mated with humans. The purer the bloodline, the higher the mortality rate of dragonborns. They often have physical signs such as dragon scales, dragon claws, and dragon tails, which are considered ominous in human society.
On the contrary, the dragon descendants with thin blood can perfectly integrate the dragon blood with the human blood. They can not only learn the magic and combat skills that humans are good at, but also use the dragon language magic of the dragon clan. They can even awaken into a real dragon and retain the dragon form and human form and switch freely.
Is she a descendant of the Silver Dragon Queen? Did she and this human named "Ye Zhi" come to my palace with the intention of inheriting the Golden Dragon legacy?
After a long silence, Golden Dragon spoke in a low voice:
"It was indeed my fault... I didn't realize her origins..."
Immediately, the golden dragon shook his head in self-mockery: "Compared to me who has dwarven blood and a dragon's appearance, perhaps she with a human physique is more like a real ferocious dragon."
"Why doesn't this sound like a good thing?" Gray muttered softly.
At this moment, the giant dragon suddenly turned around, with a cold gleam in its red pupils, staring directly at Ye Zhi, and said in a low voice: "I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll just ask directly - is it a trap you set up specifically for me to ask me to play cards with, so that this girl can get in touch with the Golden Dragon inheritance?!"
The slightly spread wings touched the dome of the golden palace, and Ye Zhi's calm face was reflected in the red pupils.
"Be careful, Ye Zhi... this Hachilong is breathing out... if you don't give a good answer, you'll have to cook with it in tears!" Zuanya whispered.
Ye Zhi said directly: "Yes."
The underground palace suddenly fell silent.
Such a straightforward answer even made Huang Jinlong stunned for a moment.
Faced with such a frank answer, Huang Jinlong was at a loss for words for a moment, and asked in a strange tone:
"You're not going to make any further excuses?"
"The Golden Dragon King established this inheritance in the past with the intention of allowing future generations to obtain the power he left behind." Ye Zhi said calmly, "I have read about your past in history books. You voluntarily turned into a dragon king in order to protect the Dwarf King's City. You are a hero of the Dwarfs, not a descendant of the Golden Dragon Clan..."
Listening to Ye Zhi's speech, Huang Jinlong's eyes lit up and he tried hard to remain calm.
"In that case, it's not a bad idea to let real dragonborn participate in the trial, Your Majesty, what do you think?" Ye Zhi raised his eyes.
Huang Jinlong's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he tried his best to maintain his majestic demeanor. His mouth twitched a few times, and he pretended to be low and said:
"I never thought... there are still people in this world who remember my achievements... I was indeed once the king of the dwarves, but I am not a hero, just an old man forgotten by the times..."
"To watch over the kingdom and the people in obscurity is a heroic act," Yeats said sincerely.
Huang Jinlong's eyes flickered a few times, he took a deep breath, turned around and continued to lead the way, and said in a deep voice:
"The Dragonborn... is indeed qualified, ahem, to participate in the trial of the Golden Dragon King... Next, it depends on whether she can hold on to the end..."
Looking at the huge back of the golden dragon, Ye Zhi and Gray smiled at each other... The golden dragon level was considered to be completed, and the next step would depend on what the content of the trial was.
"You convinced this guy with just a few words. You're worthy of being a bard." Daisy teased.
Ye Zhi said: "This is the ability to know people!"
The deeper one goes into the underground palace, the more concentrated the dragon's pressure becomes.
The light was dim all around, and a majestic wall like a city wall stood at the deepest part of the underground palace.
call--
The golden dragon exhaled lightly, and the surroundings were suddenly illuminated by lights.
On the mural, a huge golden tree is burning, and above the tree, a golden dragon is fighting with a winged angel. The dragon is painted vividly, and every dragon scale shines with golden luster.
"If you want to take part in the trial, step forward." The golden dragon turned and said.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Ye Zhi looked at Gray and nodded slightly.
Gray hesitated for a moment and said, "Ye Zhi, can you lend me Feitan for a while?"
"Actually... I'm still a little worried." Gray paused for a moment and said, "But Feitan is much smarter than me. If I can't pass the test, it can think of a solution for me!"
"certainly."
Yeats called out Fetan.
Under the illumination of the rainbow light of the Fish of Wisdom, Gray slowly walked forward and gently placed her hand on the mural.
Immediately, the content of the entire mural began to change.
White light flashed along with the fluctuations in space, and Gray's figure seemed to be sucked into the mural and disappeared from Ye Zhi's sight.
"She seems to be able to integrate the power of different kinds of dragons at the same time. I have sensed the aura of the silver dragon and other five-colored dragons in her."
The Golden Dragon looked at the place where Gray had disappeared, turned to look at Ye Zhi, and asked:
"So, which dragon was her ancestor?"
Yeats shook his head.
Not only herself, but even Gray hadn't asked the question clearly. After all, she was an abandoned baby picked up from human society by a giant dragon from Dragon Country. When asked about her life experience, the elders were also very secretive.
"Maybe I know who her ancestor is." Daisy suddenly said.
Ye Zhi's heart moved: "Which dragon is it?"
Daisy did not answer directly. Her empty and deep eyes contained a calmness like well water. She said slowly:
“Some people…are born to be the light, to lead the world in a new direction.”
“Some people are the most loyal and powerful knights beside the king, just like the queen chess piece on the chessboard.”
"And some people bear the fate of ending an era."
Daisy paused for a moment and said with a smile:
"As for me, I just want you to be happy, Ye Zhi. Only when you are happy can you accomplish something amazing that will make me happy too!"
"I understand. Gray is the terminator of the world, just like the demon slayer from the sky. Now that the river has been blocked, it will be difficult to chase her..." Diamond began to chant at the speed of light.
Daisy sighed softly and cast a resentful look at Yeats, as if blaming Yeats for teaching this little squirrel a bunch of abstract things.
Yeats looked up at the sky.
After achieving the Sanctuary, the Dragonborn can retain both the dragon and human forms at the same time. This means that Gray can also transform into a dragon.
Then in the future... won't I be able to become a dragon knight? (End of this chapter)
